[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
If the Fed really holds steady tonight, can Bitcoin take off riding this tailwind?
Pharaoh says straight up, don’t just focus on the words "hold steady"—that’s an open card, already chewed over by the market. The market currently prices a 91% chance of "no rate hike," so this good news has already been priced in.
The real highlight tonight is what Waller says.
Even if the decision is to hold steady, the market reaction can be totally different. Pharaoh breaks down three scenarios for you:
Scenario 1 (most ideal): Hold steady + hint that rate hike necessity is reduced. If Waller not only holds steady but also hints that inflation pressure is easing, both the dollar and US Treasury yields would drop, giving Bitcoin a chance to keep rallying, possibly hitting 81,000 or even higher. Probability isn’t high.
Scenario 2 (most likely): Hold steady + continue to wait and see. No new information, just playing Tai Chi. This is the most frustrating; Bitcoin will likely oscillate between 81,000 and 79,500, with both bulls and bears suffering losses.
Scenario 3 (most dangerous): Hold steady + emphasize inflation and keep the possibility of a December hike. The first half gives a sweetener, the second half a slap. Bitcoin will probably first rebound to lure buyers, then get slammed down, testing 78,000 or even 77,000.
Pharaoh’s practical advice: Don’t heavily bet on direction before the meeting. Even if Waller softens his tone, don’t blindly chase the highs, because "no rate hike" doesn’t mean "easy money." Wait for the 2:30 speech to land and watch the market reaction $BTC $ETH #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $ZEC ZEC's market situation is quite interesting.
On one side, institutions have quietly accumulated 42 million spot tokens, while on the other side, large contract holders stubbornly open short positions, with short positions accounting for over 90%.
The price is being forcibly suppressed, slowly declining, and the open interest is still dropping.
In simple terms, all the spot tokens have been moved into wallets by large holders, while the shorts are enduring daily interest costs to hold on.
This extremely crowded short structure means that as soon as the main force pulls a little, a full-scale liquidation could trigger a short squeeze rocket at any time.

#WTI crude oil
UBS calls for a brainless rush to long at 110? The real script of oil prices is far from that simple.
UBS just raised the year-end target for Brent crude to $110, and bulls instantly got excited, but don't be led by institutional expectations; the underlying logic must be clear.
The three solid fundamentals supporting oil prices are: Middle East geopolitical risks have never truly been resolved, global crude inventories have been drawn down by 500 million barrels, and tanker freight rates have surged to $30-40 per barrel. With inventories bottoming out, any sudden supply disruption in shipping lanes will infinitely amplify price elasticity.
But the futures contracts have already revealed the truth: March 2027 is priced at $95, June at $90, clearly indicating that the peak price of this cycle is at year-end. As long as there are signals of ceasefire easing from the Middle East, the $110 expectation will quickly fall apart, and profits will be taken, causing a price drop. Currently, the US and Iran are "talking and fighting simultaneously," with diplomatic signals continuously cooling tensions, but the plan for US military strikes after the midterm elections has long been finalized, and Houthi forces continue to attack Saudi energy facilities, so the situation can reverse at any time.
On the technical side, at the 4-hour level, WTI is currently priced at $101.86, rebounding from a low of $86.9 to $105 before pulling back; short-term resistance is at $102, with core support at $98.1. Moving averages are flat and converging, MACD is near the zero line, maintaining an overall high-level oscillation pattern.
Don't heavily bet on one-sided moves in crude oil; take profits timely and always keep room for error.
Do you think oil prices can reach $110 by year-end? Let's discuss in the comments.#谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？
The AI boom is still ongoing, but the market is now more concerned about: when will the money invested actually start to pay off?
Alphabet is about to release its Q3 2026 earnings report. The market expects revenue of about $127.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%; net profit of about $37.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 6.7%. The revenue growth rate is clearly faster than profit growth, and the quality of growth is more worth watching than the numbers themselves.
Focus on three key areas.
First is Google Cloud. JPMorgan has raised its year-on-year growth forecast to 100%, reflecting optimism about enterprise AI and computing power demand. But forecasts are forecasts; ultimately, it depends on whether orders can be converted into revenue and whether profit margins can keep up.
Second is capital expenditure. Chips, data centers, and computing power all require spending. If investment continues to increase but revenue and profit cannot keep pace, free cash flow will be under pressure. Revenue exceeding expectations does not necessarily mean the stock price will respond positively.
Finally, search advertising. AI is changing how users access information. Whether traditional search can maintain growth and how much new revenue AI products can bring directly affect Google's core business.
For Crypto, this is also a window to observe AI sentiment. Earnings realization may boost related narratives; increasing investment with delayed returns may also weigh on risk appetite.
In this earnings report, I am more focused on cloud business profit margins, capital expenditure, and free cash flow. How long the AI story can be told ultimately depends on the ability to make money.#谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？
Google Cloud business grows 82%, how is the return on AI investment?
Alphabet's earnings report is approaching, with bullish and bearish views fully polarized. The market's core debate is no longer about growth rate, but whether the AI spending can deliver returns.
Market consensus expects Q3 total revenue around $128 billion, with Google Cloud revenue likely close to $29 billion. Bulls are optimistic about the resilience of cloud and search advertising, believing the results could easily beat expectations.
But risks are also clear: current market expectations are already high, and slight beats are unlikely to drive the market. Google's 2026 capital expenditure guidance has been raised to $195–205 billion, continuing to increase AI investment. If management further raises spending without clear profit return guidance, it could easily trigger profit-taking after good news is realized.
Options market pricing suggests about 6% stock price volatility around the earnings report. The short-term view is cautious; heavy short positions are not recommended: if the rebound is weak and support breaks, follow the trend; if cloud business significantly beats expectations and strengthens with volume, promptly revise bearish views.
The AI arms race enters its second half, with Microsoft and Google earnings reports simultaneously tested. Compared to revenue figures, Wall Street is more focused on cloud business profit margins, free cash flow, and forward guidance.
The essence of this battle: whether the massive AI capital invested can truly convert into solid profits.$RPL
Rocket Pool offers an alternative approach to Ethereum staking through a decentralized operator model. Its progress depends on operator participation, protocol security, and competitive staking economics. Investors should distinguish growth in staking activity from demand for RPL itself, since protocol usage does not guarantee matching token performance.The short positions were taken out by two small coins
Someone woke up to find their account down $6000.
It wasn't the coins they held that rose, but $PONS and $RIVER.
How these numbers came about:
$PONS rose over 20%, $RIVER rose over 10%.
When your position direction is wrong, the gains become an amplifier of losses.
The next step is:
A small market cap coin surges with a big bullish candle, which doesn't require much capital.
The more people shorting, the more buying pressure pushes to close those positions.
This pullback isn't because the market changed, but because the opponent was chosen wrong.
The next bullish candle will most likely still be on the small coins.
#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？
#$PONS $RIVER A piece of news easily dismissed as gossip: the Israeli Prime Minister announced plans to prepare an "alternative economic system" to bypass sanctions, explicitly naming blockchain and cryptocurrency.
This needs to be viewed from two sides. On one hand, it once again confirms the strongest narrative of crypto — censorship resistance and the ability to bypass bank blocks, which is something Bitcoin has truly never been disproven of in over a decade. On the other hand, a head of state openly saying they want to use it to evade sanctions effectively points regulatory guns even closer at the entire industry.
For those making transactions, remember this: the same attribute that you see as "value" may be seen as "risk" by regulators. The narrative of $BTC has never been one-way; the benefits and regulatory boots often come from the same source.Let's take a closer look at today's "pre-FED" dump using BTC as an example. The price seemed ready to test $82,000, but in the end, it failed to break the important level of $81,535 and went on to engulf the bullish impulse. It fell below the "neckline" for the "Double Bottom." First of all, note that as long as the price does not break the fresh steady uptrend on the 3-hour TF, we cannot talk about a short squeeze. More likely, a long squeeze is happening now. But the movement is definitely interesting. It claims a bearish engulfing. What is good$ZEC
The Zcash development fund is causing disputes again.
Every year, a small portion of the block rewards mined goes directly to supporting the development team. With inflation decreasing over the years, this amount has grown larger and larger. Now there are four proposals in the community, all aiming to change the allocation mechanism. Some want to cut the proportion, others want to change the distribution method, and the debate is quite intense.
The market, however, remains calm. OKX shows ZEC spot at 1287, up only 1.6% in 24 hours, with a high of 1330 before retreating. The fee rate is minimal, and with positions in the hundreds of thousands of contracts, no one is betting on this controversy in the derivatives market.
I think the recent rise in privacy coins is driven by speculation on the halving cycle and regulatory easing expectations, unrelated to the development fund issue. But this matter won't drag on too long. If the development fund is truly cut, and the core team disperses, we've all seen how the coin price flatlined that year.
I tend to believe there will be a compromise in the end. The money can be redistributed, but it cannot be eliminated.

$SHIB is now entirely driven by community operations, with progress in other areas as well. It can only be said that there are really capable people in the community, and they are focused on building. This atmosphere is much better than the pure speculation vibe of domestic meme coins.
#SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 The Federal Reserve is meeting today, with 90% betting on maintaining the rate at 3.75% to 4.00%. The real drama lies in Warsh's speech, to see if he signals a hawkish stance on raising rates again in December. BTC spot ETFs saw net inflows for two consecutive days, about 110 million on the 26th and about 176 million on the 27th, partially filling the large outflow gap from before, but ETH ETFs are still seeing outflows, showing a difference between the two.
In the past 24 hours, liquidations were mainly short positions, with a batch of short-squeezers during the rebound.
BTC is around 80,740, ranging between 79,800 and 81,600. 80,000 is again the dividing line between bulls and bears; holding above it indicates a slightly strong consolidation, while losing it points down to 79,000 to 78,500. ETF inflows provide some bottom support, but volatility remains high before the decision, so chasing highs is risky.
SOL is at 101.15, with news of stablecoin issuance and tokenization in the ecosystem, but overall it still follows the broader market. 100 is a psychological level; holding above it targets 103 to 105, losing it tests around 99.
HYPE is at 80.01. As a derivative platform token, it reflects leverage activity. Recently, whale accumulation and regulatory rumors have mixed, providing support around 80, but when the market deleverages, quick pullbacks are common. Small positions are fine, but avoid heavy holdings.
It's not suitable to make rash moves before the decision; first, see what Warsh says. BTC needs to hold 81,000 to 82,000 for short-term sentiment to warm up; conversely, a hawkish remark could retest below 80,000. Bottom fishing now is not about betting on direction but about position management.
$BTC $SOL $HYPE DOS surged 30% in one day, so I first looked at its circulation rate: only 20%.
Heat ranking No.23, 24h +30.44%, market cap $64.38 million — DOS (DappOS) is very active today.
Background first: this is not a new face. DappOS debuted in 2022, with the story then being "Intent Execution Network." It was incubated by Binance Labs, had seed rounds from Sequoia China and IDG, and a Series A led by Polychain with a valuation of $300 million .
In 2026, it got a new look: Web3 AI operating system, product xBubble, claiming to integrate research, creation, strategy, and on-chain execution into one platform .
But when looking at a coin, the supply data is more important than the story, three numbers matter:
① Circulation rate 20%: out of 1 billion total supply, only 200 million released, max supply market cap $322 million — meaning there are 4 times the current chips outside the pool
② Distance from ATH -58%: On October 13, it hit both ATH 0.769 and ATL 0.161 the same day, with a 4.8x intraday amplitude, indicating extremely chaotic price discovery. Today's 0.32 "surge" is just a rebound from the ruins
③ Turnover rate 13.5%: small circulating supply + high turnover is a typical structure driven by sentiment, pumping fast and dumping just as fast
📌 My judgment:
The capital is real, the narrative has changed, the chips are hanging.
In 2022 it talked about Intent, in 2026 it talks about AI — it's still the same project, the story follows the trend. I prefer to understand today's 30% as a combined effect of the AI narrative rotation + low circulating supply, rather than a fundamental turning point.
Third-party analysis clearly lists what to watch: real product usage, official unlock disclosures, evidence of circulating supply . Without public answers to these three, ranking 23 on the heat list is just attention, not a safety cushion.
Writing this series so far, the pattern is getting clearer: the coin's baseline is 70% written in the supply data.
Do you have coins with a circulation rate below 30%? Check the unlock schedule before deciding whether to hold. $DOS There is a high probability of a 25 basis point cut tonight; the market priced this in months ago. So, a reminder: don't expect the "rate cut" itself to lift $BTC.
The real risk is buying the expectation and selling the fact. The moment good news materializes is often the starting gun for short-term funds to take profits. You see BTC stuck at 80,000 these days, with fees lukewarm, because the expected rise has already happened, and the bullets are spent.
So tonight, don't focus on the headline, focus on the reaction: if the good news is fully priced in and the market doesn't rise but falls instead, that's the market telling you the truth. Whether it cuts or not is not important; what matters is where it goes after the cut. Which side are you betting on? BTC and ETH are showing a bearish capital structure, while ZEC presents a potential contrarian setup. The key difference is who is taking the other side. 🔶 BTC Bulls account for 46.08%, versus 53.92% bears. Retail long-short ratios remain above 1, but large-holder sentiment is bearish. Without stronger spot demand and sustained volume, the rebound could struggle to continue. 🔶 ETH Bulls stand at 43.10%, while bears reach 56.90%. Retail long-short positioning is elevated, yet large holders rema$BTC I never really focus much on these so-called major news. Actually, the market had already moved before the news came out. The slow sideways movement here, dropping for a month but still around 80,000, reflects the expectation of no interest rate hikes. Why has it been sideways for so long? Because institutions that bought in at over 60,000 need to sell at over 80,000. They sell a little each time, which gives retail investors the impression that 80,000 is a strong support level. After so many times selling, do you really think it's strong? The no rate hike is already a positive factor that has been priced in. Think about how it will move next.The most unexpected scene appeared: ZEC quietly took the lead, ETH is still grinding below 2350, and HYPE has actually become the strongest!
Reuters reported that the market expectation for the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged in October is about 91%. What really makes funds hesitate is whether there will be another rate hike in December. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in December has exceeded 80%.
First, look at $ETH, priced around 2342, with limited gains in 24 hours. 2350 is within sight but cannot hold, funding rates have dropped 56% in the past 24 hours, and leveraged long demand has clearly weakened. If it can't even hold this level, altcoins will find it hard to strengthen comprehensively.
Next, look at $ZEC, priced around 1304, up 6.3%! The privacy coin is about to celebrate its tenth anniversary, Grayscale's ZEC ETF just recorded the strongest weekly inflow since mid-September, plus the NU7 upgrade expectation (block time cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds), short squeeze has boosted this rally. But note, rallies driven by short covering tend to quickly give back gains once the coverage ends.
Finally, look at $HYPE, up 4.3% to around 81, leading today's gainers. The catalyst is clear: Crypto.com opened CFTC-regulated perpetual contracts to compliant US traders on the same day, and HYPE is one of the first five contracts. This is a rise driven by an independent event, not just pure sentiment.
Do you think HYPE will continue to surge, or will ETH first reclaim 2350? Everyone is focused on tonight's Federal Reserve, waiting for that rate cut. But today, the Bank of Canada did something that didn't make the headlines: the first rate hike in over three years, 25 basis points, and they even said — there might be more hikes to come.
The reason is straightforward: energy prices are expected to stay high for longer, and cost pressures are building. This is the same logic as in the UK and Europe — European natural gas just touched 100 euros today, the first time since the 2022 energy crisis.
While some are preparing for rate cuts, others have already turned back to rate hikes. The bond market knows clearly: inflation isn't something that will be easily resolved. As long as long-term interest rates don't truly come down, those high-valuation assets propped up by the "money is always cheap" narrative will always have a sword hanging over their heads. $BTC, a type purely relying on liquidity narratives, fears most the "rate cut expectations being proven wrong."The day the rate cut expectation falls through, the first to collapse is leverage
At 2 AM tomorrow, the Federal Reserve will announce the result, with a 79% probability of a rate hike in December. But the focus is not on the interest rate, but on the position.
On October 30, about $12.2 billion worth of Bitcoin options will expire, with the biggest pain point price at $79,000, which is the recent concentrated cost area of buy orders.
1. "No change" has already been priced in; the real pricing is in the press conference. But on the day the rate cut expectation falls through, the first to collapse is never the spot market, but leverage.
2. Liquidation data must be analyzed for direction. On that day, the total network liquidation was $147 million, with short positions accounting for 66.7%; in the previous downturn, long positions accounted for 60.7%.
3. Open interest is about $30.4 billion, increasing by 1.2% in 24 hours. Price rebound + increased open interest = re-leveraging; if spot buying cannot keep up, it will be the source of the next round of liquidation.
The biggest fear in capacity ramp-up is not having too many orders, but downstream not accepting goods after equipment is fully utilized. Without orders returning, the excess capacity becomes inventory.
When the result comes out tomorrow morning, will you first look at the rate cut path or the liquidation data? #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC $ETH $ZEC $SOXLB current price is 104.81, closely following the 24-hour high of 105.45. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends both indicate "slightly strong," but the 1-hour trading volume is only 18.7% of the average. This volume-contracted rise against resistance feels like a performance where the front-row audience stands and applauds while the back rows remain indifferent.
The current judgment still leans bullish because the price holds above the 1-hour EMA20 (102.31) and the 4-hour EMA20 (95.71) forms a stepped support. However, the shrinking volume casts doubt on continuation: breaking through 105.45 requires volume to rebound above average, while falling below the 1-hour support at 96.98 exposes the risk of insufficient buying. The key conflict lies in the 4-hour RSI reaching 84, indicating severe overbought conditions, whereas the 1-hour RSI at 67 still has room, showing a clear divergence between short and long-term indicators.
Do you think $SOXLB will rely on momentum to test the previous high, or will the combination of overbought conditions and shrinking volume eventually trigger a pullback?
The market is volatile; the above is only an observation of the market and does not constitute investment advice.
#SOXLBThe market just gave a breakout signal, only to be immediately swallowed by selling pressure. This is not an ordinary pullback; it is a depletion of bulls under a thin order book. BTC: $80,728 (+0.24%). The clear intraday selling pressure zone is between $81,334.7 and $81,820.9 on the upside, while the last short-term support is at $79,888.6 and the $80,000 psychological level on the downside. The price surged then fell, leaving an upper shadow, indicating that buying was suppressed at resistance. ETH: $2,335.96 (-0.42%). The sell wall is concentrated near $2,347.88, accounting for 56.7% of the sell side; the buy-sell ratio in the order book dropped to 0.18, and insufficient depth amplifies the downward slope. Support is at $2,315.78, resistance at $2,388. SOL: $101.06 (+0.15%). RSI once touched the overheated zone at 71.2, and the price is running close to the upper Bollinger Band, making chasing longs less cost-effective. Support is at $101.7, resistance at $103.1. The funding rate of +0.0100% shows that leveraged longs are still paying to hold positions; under this structure, the probability of a quick pullback after an upward push, sweeping out chasing high positions, is not low. Macro and ETF: The Middle East ceasefire draft was rejected by Iran, escalating geopolitical risks, which is one of the direct triggers for intraday short-term selling pressure. The Federal Reserve's pause was expected, but the probability of a rate hike in December has risen back above 80%, with "higher for longer" repricing suppressing risk appetite. On the ETF front, BTC spot inflows reached $110 million in a single day, but the cumulative net outflow for October remains about 2.02Polymarket launched 5-minute up/down trading markets for $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, and XRP on its US app on October 27. This is a binary contract regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), used to predict whether the closing price within 5 minutes is higher or lower than the opening price, and is automatically settled through an index average.
This move pushes prediction markets into the realm of high-frequency trading, competing with Kalshi's 15-minute contracts. While the short holding period attracts speculation, it also increases the risk of manipulation. Meanwhile, due to legal pressure in Michigan, Polymarket has restricted new sports event trading openings in that state, highlighting the differences between cryptocurrency and sports.
This expansion provides US users with more convenient access but also highlights the challenge of balancing speed, investor protection, and complex legal frameworks. Users should closely monitor fees, liquidity, and specific regulations in each state. Today while reading the news, I saw that House of Doge (HODO), listed on Nasdaq, has made a series of major moves. The former CEO and CFO resigned on October 22, and the board directly invited Curtis Hopkins, CEO of McQueen Labs, to serve as interim leader. At the same time, they signed a letter of intent to acquire McQueen Labs' token platform and microloan business for $15 million.
The most critical detail is that the Dogecoin Foundation terminated their previous exclusive trademark licensing agreement with them and signed a new non-exclusive agreement. House of Doge must also change its name by the end of the year and can no longer call itself an "official commercial partner."
On the surface, this looks like a bunch of troubles piling up. But if you look at it from another angle, a Nasdaq-listed company is shifting resources from "riding on the official name" to "doing actual business." McQueen Labs is engaged in token platforms and lending, so after bringing them in, the payment and application scenarios of Dogecoin Labs can align with the financial business here.
$DOGE is currently at 0.07913, still far from the 200-day moving average on the daily chart. But when I look at a company, I don't focus on how much it rises today; I look at what it's busy with underneath. This round of personnel changes and asset reshuffling is about rebuilding the foundation steadily. The spot holdings I have will wait alongside these hardworking people.$BTC pullback is an opportunity? The 80500 support repeatedly holds, still bullish tonight!
Brothers, although BTC is moving down now, it has never effectively broken below around $80500, indicating that the support below is temporarily strong.
Moreover, yesterday's ETF funds showed net inflows, so short-term bulls still have a chance. The current pullback may also be caused by some funds taking profits and seeking safety before the US stock market opens, but the risk of further decline if the support fails cannot be ruled out.
The real highlight is the Federal Reserve interest rate decision early tonight! The market generally expects the rate to remain unchanged. What really needs attention is Wash's policy statement and the signals released by the subsequent interest rate path.
My personal view: short-term bias is bullish, focus on the support near 80500!
Entry reference: around 80500, observe if the support can hold
Target position: 82000
Risk reminder: If it effectively breaks below 80500, be cautious about the bullish view and avoid blindly adding positions. Ethereum moves in sync!
Brothers, bottom fishing is not about rushing in when you see a drop, but about watching support, absorption, and signals! Volatility in the news tonight may increase, control your position size, and strictly set stop losses!
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 #RobinhoodQ3营收增长，净利润下降 CAP has dropped nearly 33%, constantly playing the story of "the boy who cried wolf." Don't take TVL growth as a lifeline; 84% of the tokens are still locked in vaults, and another batch of tokens will unlock and crash the market at the end of the month. The circulating supply can expand just like that. The contracts are even more absurd—retail investors are crowded into long positions, the financing rate remains positive, all waiting for others to pump the price. With no one pulling the market up, it ends in a long squeeze with everyone burying each other.
Spot funds have been flowing out continuously, with no real incremental inflow. The DeFi sector currently lacks new narratives to support valuations. For coins relying on locked tokens to control the market, once the unlocking wave starts, there is basically no decent support underneath.
#CAP #CryptoMarket#Liệu tăng trưởng kinh doanh giao dịch của Robinhood có thể tiếp tục không? The Bank of Canada has raised interest rates again, by 25 basis points, bringing the benchmark rate back to 2.50%.
The number itself isn't shocking because the market had already anticipated it. What’s really worth pondering is the direction: this is a move by a major North American central bank to tighten again, possibly marking the end of the previous easing cycle.
For assets like $BTC, interest rates are the most upstream variable. When the cost of money rises, the funds willing to take risks decrease. But there’s a detail this time—it’s as expected. Since it matches expectations, the volatility at the moment of announcement is usually not too large; the market had already started pricing it in weeks ago. The real impact isn’t this time, but whether there will be a second or third hike afterward.
The logic for $ETH is slightly different. It’s closer to off-chain liquidity and less directly sensitive to interest rates than BTC, but it can’t avoid the big picture. The easiest mistake to make at times like this is to read "as expected" as "bullish." Only no rate hike counts as bullish; a hike is just less bad.
My view is simple: a single rate hike won’t change the trend, but it will change the temperament of capital. Going forward, watch two things: first, whether the tone of the next rate decision shifts, and second, whether the US dollar index and long-term interest rates strengthen accordingly. Only when these two confirm together can we talk about direction.
In short, the macro faucet has been tightened one notch. $BTC isn’t at a panic stage yet, but don’t leverage up to bet on direction now; waiting for clearer signals is more cost-effective than rushing to take positions.Four proposals on the eve of Zcash's 10th anniversary call for the closure of the 8% block reward allocation
Zcash co-founder Sean Bowe submitted draft ZIP on October 26, proposing to close the 8% block reward share allocated to the Zcash Community Grant (ZCG) program in subsequent network upgrades and redirect it to the Network Sustainability Mechanism (NSM). The project is said to have "never been designed to handle funds of this scale." According to the ZCG dashboard, it holds 91,452.98 ZEC, approximately $8.8 million; the 8% allocation flows 144 ZEC daily, 52,560 ZEC annually, worth about $68 million at current prices, more than 11 times the $1.53 million expenditure planned for Q1 2026. Meanwhile, three competing proposals exist: Winklevoss Capital investor Maxime Desalle proposes NU8 to terminate ZCG and transfer the balance to NSM; Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL) founder Josh Swihart proposes NU8 to terminate both the 8% and 12% funding streams simultaneously; ZecHub proposes maintaining the status quo until the third halving, then gradually halving until zero around 2036. NSM was introduced with the NU7 upgrade (expected November 5), with reissuance to miners starting in 2031. None of the four proposals have been finalized and require network upgrades. As of this writing, ZCG and the Zcash Foundation have not issued official responses, and token holder voting has not been scheduled. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC $ZEC $SOL BTC pierced through then pulled back, while ETH still clings to the lower edge
The past 15 minutes were a bit subtle: BTC once dropped to around 80575, then recovered above 80750; ETH also dipped to around 2335, but closed only around 2339. At 21:59 Beijing time, BTC was about 80747, ETH about 2337. After briefly breaking support, BTC closed the 15-minute candle back above it; ETH remains at the support edge, so it’s inaccurate to say both have "already broken down."
Another background note: The World Bank expects energy prices to rise 32% by 2026 (source: Jin10). This is a forecast, not tonight’s oil price increase, nor does it prove it caused the crypto price pullback. The Federal Reserve decision on the 29th early morning is still pending; sharp drops or spikes could quickly reverse.
I’m more concerned whether both coins can recover in sync. On the 1-hour chart, if BTC fails to hold 80570–80620, downside risk increases; if it regains 80920–80985, the recent piercing looks more like a brief test. For ETH, first watch if 2335–2340 holds, and only a recovery above 2346–2355 counts as catching up. If BTC rebounds but ETH remains stagnant, I remain cautious. These are just conditional observations; be mindful of volatility risks.
$BTC $ETH#SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 SK Hynix's revenue surpasses 100 trillion KRW for the first time in Q3, but the truly interesting part is another set of numbers
SK Hynix's Q3 revenue reached 104.6 trillion KRW, operating profit 83.3 trillion, with a profit margin of 80%. It has set records for six consecutive quarters, with HBM4 taking over as the main driver in Q4. The numbers are indeed explosive.
But when reviewing the financial report, one figure caught my attention: net profit of 39.8 trillion KRW, down 58% quarter-on-quarter, one-third below expectations.
Revenue and operating profit both soared, yet net profit was halved. Why?
Looking at the balance sheet makes it clear. Cash is 114.5 trillion KRW, borrowings only 15.8 trillion, net cash 98.7 trillion. With so much cash, interest income and investment returns have masked fluctuations in operating profit. Last quarter may have had one-time items inflating the base, and this quarter returned to normal, making net profit "appear" to collapse.
It's not an operational problem, but accounting noise caused by excessive cash on the books.
Even more interesting is the simultaneous announcement of shareholder returns: 100 trillion KRW for the full year, of which 60 trillion is additional. Together with the previously completed 40 trillion buyback, it means more than half of this year's earnings are directly returned to shareholders.
What does this move indicate? SK Hynix itself believes that keeping money on the books is less preferable than distributing it. Expansion is ongoing, and HBM4 capacity is also increasing, but beyond capital expenditures, there is still a large amount of cash with no place to spend. A company at the peak of the AI cycle choosing large dividends instead of aggressive expansion sends a signal more worth pondering than the revenue figures. BTC: Pay attention to whether the psychological level near $80,000 is held, and whether there is real trading volume support when breaking through resistance.
ETH: Besides following BTC, also watch if it can break its own resistance. If BTC stabilizes but ETH continues to weaken, blindly chasing longs is not advisable.
① Federal Reserve and US Treasury yields
The 10-year US Treasury yield is around 5%, and the US Dollar Index is about 102.40. Reuters reported on October 28 that the market has about a 90% probability of expecting the Fed to keep rates at 3.75%–4.00%, but traders are more focused on whether rate hikes will continue in the future.
② Middle East situation and crude oil
On October 28, Reuters reported that the Houthi forces claimed to have attacked a large Saudi refinery, causing market concerns about energy supply disruptions; Saudi Arabia had not immediately confirmed the attack at that time. Brent crude briefly rose to about $115.47 per barrel.
③ US tech stocks and earnings reports
The Nasdaq has recently rebounded, with the market awaiting earnings reports from Microsoft and Alphabet, focusing on AI demand, capital expenditure, and profit expectations.
Nasdaq continues to strengthen, while the dollar and Treasury yields retreat: favorable for BTC rebound.
Tech stocks surge then fall back, yields continue to rise: BTC may follow the decline.
④ ETF funds and internal structure of the crypto market
ETF net inflows, spot trading volume, perpetual contract funding rates, and open interest can help determine whether the market movement is driven by spot funds or leverage squeezes.$MU, What Does SK Hynix's Record Memory Profit Mean for the Industry? Its Q3 revenue reached 104.62 trillion KRW, operating profit 83.33 trillion KRW. Management stated that HBM4 is expected to become the main product starting from Q4, with AI server demand driving high-value memory. However, strong results from a single manufacturer do not equate to synchronized profit expansion across the entire industry; if customer capital expenditures and storage prices remain strong, the cycle outlook is more stable; if supply grows faster or demand concentration is too high, I would turn cautious.$BTC $ETH $SOL — **Yesterday’s Market Review!** 🚀 Bitcoin recently dropped from $85,000 to a wick low of $79,179 before staging a modest rebound. However, the recovery initially lacked strong trading volume, leaving the market moving sideways between $79,000 and $81,000, with repeated tests around $79,200. Things changed last night as the US stock market strengthened. Bitcoin regained momentum, broke above the key $81,000 resistance level, and has since managed to hold above $80,500. 📈 On thCrypto Circle Regulation and Industry Events

Aptos was built on the Move language with parallel execution in mind, a design inherited from Meta's Diem work. Technology isn't the bottleneck here; attention is. Developer momentum and token unlock pacing will say more about its trajectory than architecture comparisons.Settle first: Before the afternoon report, I touched 1,350 first; today's intraday high was 1,387.99, already reached, so this round was correct. Conclusion first: I don't chase options before the earnings report, I only follow after the direction emerges post-report. Data speaks: SNDK intraday today hit 1,351.94, up 3.61%, opened at 1,356.6, intraday high 1,387.99, low 1,343.85, previous close 1,304.84; the 50-day moving average is still above at 1,576, so this is still a rebound below the moving average. Earnings report is tomorrow, October 29; option time value decays fast, after the report volatility drops, even if the direction is right, it might not be profitable. Buying calls is a bet on continuation, buying puts is a bet on pullback, I don't bet in advance. Let me ask you: after the earnings, will it first touch 1,400 or fall back to 1,304? I choose the former first, and will admit if I'm wrong. Going all in to short $INIT!!

#SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 Ethereum is hovering around $2,348, with the sell wall five times thicker than the buy wall, but the real verdict won't come from the order book—it will come from what Walsh says in a few hours.
The buy-to-sell ratio on the order book is only 0.18, with the sell wall pressing at $2,347.88. The short-term technicals show a bullish bias on the 15-minute chart and a bearish bias on the 4-hour chart; the direction is entirely yielding to the FOMC.
The market prices in over a 90% probability of no change in October, but the baseline scenario is a “hawkish pause” (55%)—no rate hike, but no easing either. The probability of a rate hike in December remains above 80%, with 2 to 3 dissenting votes almost certain.
If Walsh characterizes the pause as “hawkish,” risk assets will come under immediate pressure; dovish wording is the only unexpected support ETH can leverage.
Below $2,310–$2,328 lies the triple overlap zone of on-chain average cost, the 200-day EMA, and whale positions. Multiple rebounds have occurred here over the past three days, making it the most solid defense line at present.
However, ETFs have seen $1.26 billion outflows in October, approaching a monthly record. ETFs were the marginal buyers in Q3, but they are withdrawing now; no matter how tight supply is, it won't support the price.
If $2,310 doesn't break, the bottoming logic remains; if $2,355 can't be reclaimed on close, any rebound only provides liquidity to sellers. Tonight, don't look at the dot plot—watch how Walsh explains “why no move in October, but possibly in December.”$SKHY The better-than-expected results were anticipated, and there are several special points to note:
1. For fiscal year 2026, a total of about 100 trillion KRW: at least 30 trillion in cash dividends, and at least 60 trillion in buybacks and cancellations. The 60 trillion includes the 40 trillion buyback initiated in August and completed last week.
2. A new round of 20 trillion buybacks: 10 trillion for cancellation; about 10 trillion for employee compensation, not counted as shareholde#微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？ Azure's 43% high growth rate validates the AI monetization logic, and AI commercialization has the foundation to continue accelerating. However, the biggest short-term bottlenecks are not customer demand but constraints from computing power supply, massive capital expenditures, and peer competition, so acceleration will not be without resistance.
✅Positive factors: Supporting the logic for accelerating AI commercialization
1. Full-stack monetization loop formed
A complete monetization chain is established with "Azure computing power base + OpenAI large model + Copilot application layer." Microsoft 365 Copilot paid seats continue to expand, GitHub Copilot switches seats + usage mixed billing drive revenue, enterprise customers build custom AI agents using Azure Foundry, and token consumption brings continuous pay-as-you-go income, no longer just one-time project revenue.
2. Enterprise customers continue to expand
A large number of new fulfilled orders come from traditional industries, not limited to AI startups. AI is gradually landing across thousands of industries beyond leading players, continuously expanding the customer base, with ample mid-to-long-term market space. Backlogged RPO orders are sufficient, providing a baseline support for future performance.
3. Computing power delivery efficiency continues to optimize
The cycle from GPU arrival to online deployment has been greatly shortened, and new computing power quickly converts to revenue after production; the self-developed Maia AI chip continues to be implemented, with long-term prospects to reduce computing power costs $BTC $ETH $ZEC #SK海力士Q3 revenue surpasses 100 trillion KRW for the first time
The boss has something to say
SK Hynix's Q3 revenue reached 104.62 trillion KRW, operating profit 83.33 trillion, both setting quarterly records. Net profit was 39.78 trillion, up 216% year-on-year but below analyst expectations.
The data has flaws, but the market gave a strong positive response. SKHYNIX surged 6.74%, SKHY rose 6.16%. The market completely ignored the net profit missing expectations, buying into the extremely optimistic guidance from management. The company expects memory supply-demand tightness to continue until 2030, with over half of the 2027-2028 capacity already covered by long-term agreements.
I believe this is the strongest booster for this storage rally. Locking in capacity with long-term contracts means the cyclical nature is greatly weakened, and valuation logic is shifting toward high growth. If you previously went long around 1250, this wave has paid off handsomely.
Market sentiment is fully ignited, with short-term momentum for further gains. But after a big rise, be sure to take profits in batches and secure gains; do not chase the highs.
BTC had a waterfall drop last night and now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't, expect a deeper pullback; resistance above is between 84,000 and 85,000. Do not chase the rise or sell in panic; set your stop losses properly.
All the above analysis is time-sensitive; always set your stop losses. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC The Fed decision lands at midnight, and a hold is the likely outcome. The rate itself is already priced in. What matters is Warsh's tone at the press conference and any hints about a possible December hike. What it means for crypto: Neutral tone: Room for a short-term rebound. Watch BTC at 82,000 resistance and ETH at 2,380 to see if either can break through. Hawkish tone: Expect pressure and a pullback. BTC could retest the 80,000 area, and ETH may head toward lower support. Current prices: $BTBTC surged to 81,500 then reversed, ETH barely rose, but BCH jumped nearly 4%! The most frustrating thing isn’t the lack of a rebound, but that BTC’s gains didn’t hold, while the other coins are already stealing the spotlight!
First, look at $BTC, reported at 80,776, up 0.43% in 24 hours. It retreated from around 81,500 and fell back below 81,000. The price is still rising throughout the day, but that doesn’t mean those who just jumped in are making money.
Next, $ETH is at 2,340, up 0.03% in 24 hours. It’s almost flat, weaker than BTC in this window. Whether the rebound can continue is still uncertain; just because it rose less doesn’t mean it will definitely catch up next.
Finally, $BCH rose nearly 4%, clearly stronger in this trio of coins. But leading in gains doesn’t directly prove that funds have shifted from BTC.
On the news front, CME confirmed that BCH futures started trading on October 20, but futures can also be used for hedging, which doesn’t mean institutions are collectively going long. Grayscale also submitted registration documents to convert to an ETF, but submitting an application doesn’t mean approval has been granted.
This time, I’m more focused on whether BCH’s relative strength can continue, rather than assuming buying pressure is lined up just because trading channels have increased.
The easiest mistake to make is to interpret “institutions have tools to participate” as “institutions will definitely buy the rally.”
This is just a personal market record and does not constitute investment advice.
#三星Q3利润预增近8倍，完整财报即将揭晓 📌Evening concise reminder! 5 key risk control phrases in one sentence for each target
Don't chase BTC, don't touch WLD, don't short BICO, don't panic with OKB, don't heavily hold RE
$BTC 80647 📊
The storage sector strengthened on earnings reports, but BTC did not follow. There is support below the 80,000 level and heavy selling pressure above. Blindly chasing orders on the eve of the FOMC is like betting on direction. After a week of sideways movement, wait quietly for the decision.
$OKB 110.2 🔴
The platform token rebounded slightly by 1.1%, oscillating around 110 after pulling back from 114 for several days. The underlying logic such as burn and fee rights remains unchanged. The inability to fall further indicates support below, so no need to panic excessively.
$WLD 0.4283 🌐
Down 1.77% today, user data continues to rise but the price shows no reaction. Privacy regulation risks remain unresolved, lacking an independent narrative. The market can only passively follow the overall trend, participation is not recommended.
$RE 0.37519 🛡️
A small-cap insurance token with light trading and very thin order book. To break out into an independent trend, a major on-chain catalyst is needed. The normal state is sideways bottoming, heavy positions for speculation are strictly prohibited.
$BICO 0.01558 🔧
The account abstraction sector logic is intact, with a slight rebound of 0.97%. The sector direction is fine, but the current market is unwilling to value infrastructure. Do not chase highs or short casually.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 What is the liquidation price? How to understand the relationship between maintenance margin, unrealized loss, and forced liquidation?
In cryptocurrency contract trading, many people focus only on profit and loss changes after opening a position, but overlook a key question: at what price level might the position be forcibly liquidated? Understanding the liquidation price helps traders assess risks in advance and avoid losing control due to insufficient margin.
First, what is the liquidation price?
The liquidation price refers to the price level at which a position may trigger the forced liquidation mechanism under specific margin rules. It is not a fixed number and may change with position adjustments, additional margin, funding fees, and platform rule changes.
Second, what is maintenance margin?
Maintenance margin is the minimum margin requirement needed to keep a position open. When the account equity falls below this requirement, the trading platform may initiate the liquidation process. The specific calculation depends on the trading product, position size, and platform rules.
Third, how does unrealized loss affect liquidation risk?
Unrealized loss is the book loss not yet finalized through closing the position. When the price moves unfavorably, account equity may decrease, bringing the position closer to liquidation conditions. The higher the leverage, the more limited the margin buffer usually is, but the actual risk still depends on the position and margin arrangements.
Fourth, how to reduce liquidation risk?
Fifth, what should be checked before trading?
In the next article, we will continue discussing: What is additional margin? Why can adding funds delay liquidation but not necessarily save a wrong trade?From Issuing Coins to Obtaining Licenses: RWA Is Entering the Regulated Banking System
The focus of tokenization is shifting: from "who issued another coin" to regulatory qualifications and asset quality.
① On 10/26, Ripple received final approval from the US OCC to establish Ripple National Trust Bank, which can manage RLUSD segregated reserves (the bank has not yet opened). RLUSD has a market value of about $2.5 billion.
② On 10/26, Aviva Investors launched tokenized shares of a GBP money market fund on the XRP Ledger, totaling over £86 million combined with the USD fund from July.
③ Kaiko data: In stablecoin-to-euro trading pairs, USDC's trading share rose from 10% to 56%, surpassing USDT, driven by MiCA.
When evaluating RWA, "who issues, who custodians, who regulates, and how to redeem" are more critical than yield.
As assets become increasingly standardized, the next step is to turn perspectives into investable portfolios, which OWL is working on. Which tokenization direction do you favor?👇
