$ETH finally didn't continue to drop today.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布
It pulled back from 2296 all the way to 2370, and babala's 2361 long position has turned green again. Although the profit is only a few points, at least it has climbed back from underwater.
This rebound is mainly led by BTC.
$BTC has risen back above 81000 from around 79400, now near 81600, very close to the intraday high of 81780. As long as BTC can hold 81000 and continue to break through 81800, the market's short-term recovery has a chance to continue.
Although ETH's rebound amplitude is good, structurally it is still weaker than BTC.
Now 2385–2400 is the most direct resistance zone for ETH. The price has reached here multiple times but has never truly stabilized, so whether this is a valid breakout or a bull trap before the Fed decision cannot be concluded too early.
If ETH holds above 2400, my 2361 long position has a chance to target 2440, and after breaking through, then look near 2470; but if it rises and then falls back below 2340, it indicates bulls have not yet escaped the consolidation, and it may test 2310–2300 again.
The biggest variable tonight is still the Federal Reserve.
The rate decision will be announced at 2 AM Beijing time on October 29, followed by a press conference. The market is currently more focused not on whether rates will be raised, but on how the Fed describes inflation and whether it hints at further tightening in December.
So I am bullish on this pre-meeting rally but will not treat it as a confirmed reversal.
Babala's 2361 long position is still held. The cost has been recovered now, and next we will see if ETH can hold its ground and not bounce back every time it hits 2400 like hitting a glass door. $XAU The recent decline in gold prices has finally slowed down. After falling below 4000, it rebounded with three consecutive gains to 4060. However, the market remains extremely bearish on gold. Many institutions claim that gold currently lacks appeal and may continue to drop to 3880 in the medium term! Personally, I believe the decline in gold is mainly due to the strengthening US dollar, high yields on US Treasury bonds, and high inflation. But recently, oil prices have shown signs of peaking, inflation is expected to improve, and US Treasury yields have fallen below 5%. Although I don't expect an immediate reversal, the trend is subtly moving in a direction favorable to gold. If gold truly breaks below 3900, I will definitely not hesitate to increase my position. Oversold gold is a rare certainty opportunity in the market!All three coins rose over 2%, with 300 short positions liquidated totaling 3.7 million U
BTC, ETH, and SOL all rose over 2% in 24h, showing a broad rally on the surface, but in reality shorts were pushed out first, with the long-short ratio exceeding 1.9 across the board.
$BTC: Trading near the 24h high
Current price 81487.8U, up 2.03%, 24h high 81820U. Long-short ratio 1.93 (previously 1.98), open interest 31,000 contracts, 2.525 billion U. Nearly 100 recent liquidations include 1.314 million U in short positions and 0 U in long positions. My personal view: trading near the high with such a crowded long side, those chasing the highs should carefully consider if their position size can hold.
$ETH: Gains exceed BTC, longs more crowded
Current price 2372.47U, up 2.54%, less than 1% from the 24h high of 2387.65U. Long-short ratio 2.20 (previously 2.22). Nearly 100 recent liquidations include 1.103 million U in short positions and 5,355 U in long positions. The risk: with a 2.2x long-short ratio and increased volatility, the first to liquidate might switch to longs.
$SOL: Highest gain and most crowded
Current price 102.68U, up 2.73%, 24h high 103.69U. Long-short ratio 3.03, the highest among the three coins. Nearly 100 recent liquidations include 1.284 million U in short positions and 1,808 U in long positions. Leading in both gains and long-short ratio, watch but do not chase.
Summary: All three coins rose together, with short liquidations totaling about 3.7 million U. Behind the broad rally is a crowded long side; the closer to the highs, the more cautious one should be.
For record-keeping only, not investment advice.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC is currently priced at 81,422.7 USDT, up 1.10% intraday, recovering steadily from the 79,477 low in the past 24 hours. The 1-hour MACD red bars have expanded to 82.9, indicating that bullish momentum remains, but RSI6 has reached 76.28, entering a severe overbought zone. The double resistance at 81,605.9 and 81,853.9 is forming above, and the short-term risk of chasing higher is sharply increasing. The capital flow shows a split of "surface warming, internal fragility." The ETF net inflow for the day is $176 million, seemingly a capital return, but BlackRock IBIT alone accounts for $151.5 million, Fidelity FBTC only $24.5 million, and other issuers precisely zero. The cumulative net outflow for October is still about $202 million. The essence of this inflow is that institutional exposure is collapsing into a single channel rather than broadening. On-chain data is even more worrisome: three whales deposited 6,168 BTC into Coinbase Prime, worth $498.5 million; the net position of BTC perpetual contracts held by whales on the Hyperliquid platform has turned net short for the first time since March this year—large holders are selling during the rebound and betting on a decline in derivatives, forming a sharp hedge against the ETF's short-term replenishment. At the macro level, the FOMC's "hawkish pause" is a sword hanging overhead. The probability of maintaining rates unchanged this week is about 90%, but the expectation of a rate hike in December is over 70%, close to the historically fully priced threshold. Inflation data shows no substantial easing; core CPI remains at 2.6%, and any hawkish wording could cause this round of positioningStandard Chartered just cut BTC's year-end target price from 150,000 to 100,000, Bernstein cut it to 125,000, while Citi actually raised it to 113,000. Each of the three is more pessimistic than the last, with one bullish voice in the middle—this combination is quite interesting.
I checked the market; BTC on OKX is hovering around 80,900 now, with a 24-hour low of 79,500 and a high of 81,300. After dropping below 80,000, it climbed back a bit, so sentiment is barely holding steady.
As for target prices, I stopped using them as entry criteria a long time ago. When the price was 150,000, they shouted 150,000; now at 80,000, they start shouting 100,000—always half a step behind the price. Last time I bottomed out following a certain report and set a stop loss below, it got hit hard. Since then, I only pay attention to when they change their stance, not the numbers.
If I had to pick a side, I stand with Citi—not because it's optimistic, but because 113,000 is the number closest to what the market is willing to pay now. Standard Chartered cuts the most aggressively and is often the first to give up. When the day comes that they stop mentioning target prices altogether, that will be the real bottom for this cycle.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 "Don't rush to call a bull market, first overcome three pressures"
🔻BTC: Just after breaking the short pain point near 81150, it fell back, only following the US stock semiconductor +3.6% for a sip of soup. Evidence for bulls entering is still insufficient (￣▽￣). Funds betting on no rate hike pushed the price up to MA7 80773, but 83,000 is the threshold for a bullish trend. Above, MA20 81899 and MA30 82645 layer pressure, hard to break without buying.
🔻ETH: Finally not just following, ETH/BTC rebounds. The 2282 floor support is basically confirmed, RSI 37, 30-day range 14.6%, preference shift ( •̀ ω •́ )✧. But ETF net outflow hasn't stopped, recent pressure at MA20 2419, no breakthrough this week, wait for next week.
🔻SOL: A good asset wrongly sold off, I bought some again yesterday. Fundamentals are favorable, but SOL/BTC fell 2.1%; ETF outflow yesterday was 8.23 million, cumulative net outflow in nearly 20 days is 58.6 million, truly unfair (´･ω･`). RSI 36 is weak, short positions cluster at 103 above, probably chance to break through next week.
Summary: Don't be too optimistic, BTC is just recovering before breaking 83,000; ETH looks at 2419; SOL waits for 103. Patience is more important than chasing gains (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ 10x leverage long on $SOL, I don't consider it a trend yet; a position of about one million dollars also can't replace trend evidence.
I have three rules for trends: look at the direction, this monitoring doesn't show price movement; look at sentiment, one wallet being bullish doesn't represent market consensus; look at the fallback, roughly calculating by leverage, a reverse move of about 10% could exhaust the initial margin, and forced liquidation might happen even earlier.
The trend is the best friend; if the direction isn't clear, I'd rather wait than treat a big order as a signpost.An increase of about $31 billion compared to the previous low point. My first reaction was to give a boost to $BTC's funding situation, but then I pulled back 🤖. With realized market cap rebounding, I tend to treat it as a somewhat positive observation signal rather than directly translating it to "the price will continue to rise."
If I were to write it as a strategy, I would set it as: if the realized market cap continues to expand and the price can hold the gains during the same period, then raise the evaluation of demand support strength. This helps reduce the tendency to get excited just because a single indicator turns green. The material mentioned that near the 2025 peak, this indicator was also rising, but at that time, long-term holders were taking profits by selling to new buyers.
The loophole in this rule is that even if the price temporarily holds, it doesn't prove that selling pressure won't increase later. My speculation is that if the indicator keeps rising but the price can't maintain the gains, the new demand might be getting consumed by profit-taking. I will next watch whether these two conditions synchronize and won't rush to treat a single incremental number as trend confirmation.#تقرير أرباح SK Hynix للربع الثالث على الأبواب، هل يمكن لـ HBM4 تعزيز الربحية؟ Today, Bitcoin is flanked by two large players moving in opposite directions—one selling, one buying.
The seller is BlackRock. It transferred 1,698 bitcoins from the IBIT Bitcoin ETF wallet to Coinbase Prime, worth about $136 million. Moving ETF coins to an exchange custody address is usually understood as preparing to cash out.
The buyer is an anonymous whale. After five months of silence, it withdrew 11,330 bitcoins from Binance in one go, worth about $903 million. Wallets known to be controlled by private keys indicate a long-term holding stance. The same nine-figure amount, one going in, one going out.
The real short-term direction is decided by the pile of short positions overhead. About $2.7 billion in leveraged Bitcoin shorts have a liquidation price at $84,000, only 4% above the current price. As soon as the price pokes above that, shorts get forcibly liquidated; liquidation means buying, which in turn pushes the price up faster. If it can't climb, these shorts act as an iron lid suppressing the market.
There is also a bullish background layer: the Michigan state pension fund disclosed holding over $12.8 million in Bitcoin. The position is small enough to be negligible, but the nature has changed—pension funds, the most conservative money, are starting to touch this asset.
So this is not a one-sided story now. $BTC has a fuse at 84,000 above, ETF selling pressure below, and whales accumulating in the middle. $ETH follows the broader market.#SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 After the boom bubble, where should SK Hynix go next?醒来先看最脆弱的那一环：山寨在涨，我的账户却在缩水。 这波反弹里，谁是真的被接住了？ 昨晚睡前还挺安心，一觉醒来万物复苏，绿油油一片，偏偏账户少了6000u。主要拖累是 river 和 pons，一个涨超10%，一个涨超20%。看着它们往上冲，我手里那点仓位反而在往下掉，说不难受是假的。 这其实是当下最典型的情绪切片。BTC 和 ETH 稳在那里，给了市场一个"没事"的底，但钱没有均匀地流进来，而是挑了少数几个叙事强、筹码轻的山寨猛拉。pons 和 river 这种涨幅，说明短线资金的风险偏好回来了，愿意去接高波动的东西；可另一边，更多山寨只是跟着晃了一下就熄火。指数好看，体感很差，这就是情绪先行、广度没跟上的阶段。 偏多的路径很清楚：只要 BTC 不破关键支撑，ETH 保持相对强势，这种局部热点会继续制造赚钱效应，吸引观望的人进场，山寨的活跃度还能维持一阵。但风险藏在结构里——涨的越集中，越说明资金是挑着打的，不是普涨。一旦龙头币走弱，或者热点币冲高回落，情绪会掉得比涨得还快，追高的人就成了最后的接力者。FOMC 利率决议这周落地，也可能成为情绪的分水岭，预期被提前计价的部分，往往在The only chance for $ZEC to let me break even now is if the Fed announces a big surprise rate hike tonight.

Looking back at history:
2018 cycle: The midterm elections were held on November 6. Bitcoin formed a cyclical bottom 39 days later.
2022 cycle: The elections were held on November 8. Bitcoin formed a cyclical bottom 13 days later.
So, in this cycle, will Bitcoin continue to bottom out and rebound after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026?
Personally, I don't think so.
I believe that amid market sentiment uncertainty and bargaining mentality, the cycle bottom may form earlier around the 57K level.
Moreover, this time, I tend to think the bottom of the current adjustment will form faster than in previous cycles. For me, the 75K to 79K range might be the area where this adjustment bottom forms.
Why?
Because when the price was still at 57,000, many people doubted whether it had already bottomed. When the market warmed up, they continued to wait for a lower price to secure the best position.
Then, when Bitcoin's price dropped to the 75K-79K range, they could still comfort themselves that the opportunity was not missed, and the price would still fall to 70K or even 60K.
But what if the market doesn't follow these expectations?
The market is under no obligation to give us a price we consider reasonable.
Sometimes, what causes investors to miss good opportunities is not a lack of funds, knowledge, or insight, but that they always want the market to develop according to their wishes.The SNDK contract hit a high of 1377 today, rising nearly 9% in 24 hours. This storage surge was driven by SK Hynix.
SK Hynix's Q3 revenue surpassed 100 trillion KRW for the first time, pushing its stock up 10%, with Samsung following by over 9 points. The Korean stock market returned to 6000 points after ten trading days. When Korean semiconductors move, the storage contracts here immediately react.
This round is different from previous pure speculative plays; Hynix has truly delivered results. Storage price hikes have been anticipated since last year, and this earnings report solidifies the story.
The rise is so sharp that I won’t chase it; I’ll wait to see if there’s a pullback and if anyone steps in.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 LIT is hovering slightly above the $3 integer mark, with a market cap of 760 million and a trading volume of 7.34 million, and a turnover rate of less than 1%. For a project claiming to be the leader in the decentralized identity sector, liquidity exhaustion has become a structural chronic issue. Social sentiment is completely absent across all dimensions—no heat ranking, zero bullish or bearish signals, and a neutral overall sentiment. The market has coldly and brutally declared the narrative invalid: once a DID concept stock, it is now rapidly marginalizing under the impact of new narratives like ZK identity and account abstraction. The smart money signals remain as ruthless as ever: net short positions, zero net holdings, zero long traders; professional funds have long since exited, leaving only passive early investors and linear selling pressure from staking unlocks. Technically, the narrow range between 2.97 and 3.14 has persisted for several days. The $3 mark is both a psychological barrier and a dense area of trapped positions. Without incremental capital intervention, this sideways consolidation is prone to evolve into a downward continuation. Core judgment: LIT lacks the dual drivers of performance growth and narrative iteration. The current price range looks more like a distribution platform for capital exit rather than an accumulation zone for value investors. Participation is not recommended before a fundamental turnaround.Funds are flowing back, but that doesn't mean a reversal
$BTC four-hour spot net inflow is $111 million.
This number looks big, but it needs a different calculation.
Where does this money come from: 30-day contracts net outflow of $7.83 billion.
Working backward, what's flowing back now is just a small portion of the retreat.
How is this number calculated: 24-hour spot inflow of $179 million, while contracts actually outflow $92.74 million.
Spot is buying, leverage is withdrawing, the directions are different.
$ETH's contract replenishment is stronger than spot, $SOL has spot buyers while contracts are still moving out.
All three coins are seeing short-term inflows, but mid-term leverage is still withdrawing.
Money has returned, but positions have not.
#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？
#$BTC $ETH $BTW currently has a market cap of 5.1 billion USD, with the top ten addresses holding 95% of the total tokens, indicating heavy control by major holders.
Smart money long positions hold 18.13 million USD, while short positions hold only 148 thousand USD. The long position size is much larger than the short position. The long entry cost is 1.394, current price is 1.776, with an unrealized profit of 3.93 million USD. The short entry cost is 1.599, currently with an unrealized loss of 180 thousand USD.
The funding rate is positive, meaning longs pay shorts.
From Lulu's perspective, longs have nearly 4 million USD in unrealized profits. There is significant selling pressure above 0.186 on the hourly chart, making further rallies difficult. Plus, longs have to pay shorts, so the funding won't be so foolish as to hold continuously while money flows out for free. There is definitely a strong willingness to sell. It's best to avoid going long further; a short position at the current price of 1.768 could be taken, targeting 1.580. #OctoberFOMCInterestRateDecisionComingSoon Privacy coins remain the strongest in this round. ZEC turns 10 years old today, currently priced at 1310, up nearly 7% in 24 hours, while BTC only rose 1.5% in the same period.
At the end of September, it surged to 1700, was pushed back to 1050 in mid-October, and now has climbed back above 1300, with its market cap ranking 9th, pushing HYPE and DOGE down.
What’s driving it isn’t just the birthday atmosphere. The co-founder proposed redirecting future $125 million in block rewards into a developer fund, securing a long-term financial support for the network. Along with the NU7 upgrade on November 5, the rush of funds is understandable.
I watched it around 1100 last round but didn’t buy due to its slow pace. Looking back now, the privacy narrative always accelerates only after you confirm it. This time, I tend to believe real capital is betting on it; this run before the upgrade doesn’t look like pure hype.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 2252 ETH were transferred into OKX yesterday afternoon, which amounts to over 5.3 million USD at today's price. This wallet has been selling for nearly half a month, offloading a total of 12.41 million. At the same time, the Ethereum spot ETFs are also looking bleak, with a net outflow of 60.22 million yesterday, and only BlackRock's ETHA seeing outflows while the others remained inactive.
Selling pressure came from both ends, yet ETH closed today up from around 2300 to 2365, gaining 2% in 24 hours.
I tend to think this is short covering rather than new buying. The funding rate is only 0.009%, and the contract open interest of 1.54 billion USD shows no obvious increase in positions, so this rally feels a bit hollow. On the same day, BTC spot ETFs had a net inflow of 176 million, clearly showing institutional money moving into BTC while ETH is seeing withdrawals.
I won't chase at this level. If you really want to be bullish, wait until it firmly holds above 2370.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 Bitcoin has finally started to rebound!
$BTC has returned to around $81,000 today, after previously dropping as low as $79,496.
This rebound coincides with the tech sector in the US stock market rising again, and market risk appetite beginning to improve.
But there is one issue I am still quite concerned about.
The Nasdaq rose 1.18% in the previous trading session, semiconductor stocks have also rebounded consecutively, yet BTC is still struggling around $80,000.
US tech stocks have begun to recover their losses, but the crypto market is clearly lagging behind.
I still believe BTC has a chance to challenge $84,000 again, but what is most needed now is buying pressure over several consecutive trading days, not just a brief rebound.
If it cannot firmly hold above $82,000, the space for this rebound is likely still limited.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Microsoft (MSFT) Earnings Forecast: I'm More Focused on These Three Signals
Microsoft is about to release its Q1 FY2027 earnings report. The market expects revenue of about $90.6–90.7 billion, with adjusted EPS around $4.71–4.72.
My judgment: Microsoft's fundamentals remain strong, but the key to this earnings report is not just growth in performance, but whether it can surpass the already high market expectations.
1️⃣ Azure Cloud Business: The market expects growth of about 44%–45%. If actual growth exceeds 45%, it will be a significant positive; if it slows noticeably, the market may be disappointed.
2️⃣ AI Commercialization: Whether Copilot can continue to convert into enterprise paid revenue will determine if AI investments can truly turn into profits.
3️⃣ Capital Expenditure: AI infrastructure investment is huge. If investment growth outpaces revenue and profit, cash flow pressure could become a hidden risk.
My conclusion: I lean toward Microsoft beating earnings expectations but am not blindly optimistic. Even if earnings exceed expectations, the stock price may not necessarily rise. What truly determines market reaction are Azure's growth rate, future guidance, and capital returns.
#Microsoft #USStocks #EarningsAnalysis #AIThe speed at which traditional finance is entering blockchain may be faster than many people imagine.
On October 28, DBS Bank in Singapore released a survey finding that 88% of surveyed companies have already deployed or are testing tokenized currency solutions.
This proportion is indeed somewhat surprising.
In the past, many companies using blockchain were still at the proof-of-concept stage.
Now, more and more companies are beginning to explore using stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other tools to improve cross-border payment and fund management efficiency.
Especially for multinational companies, with funds dispersed across different countries and bank accounts, settlement time and liquidity management have always been actual costs.
However, the 88% figure is the proportion within the survey sample and does not represent that 88% of companies worldwide have adopted blockchain.
I increasingly believe that one of the most important growth sources for the crypto industry in the future may be the financial needs of these traditional enterprises.
$BTC $ETH $SOL 24-hour low was 79,505, and I've been watching this number for a long time. When it dropped below 80,000, the group was full of wails; now it's pulled back above 81,500, but the quality hasn't been verified yet.
At 2:30 AM tonight, Walsh will hold the FOMC press conference. The whole market is just waiting for this one event, so it's not surprising that the market is so tight—BTC perpetual funding rate is only one ten-thousandth, and contract open interest of 25.2 billion USD is stagnant.
I'm more concerned about the ETF side: yesterday, BTC spot ETFs had a net inflow of 176 million, with BlackRock alone accounting for 151 million; on the same day, ETH ETFs actually saw an outflow of over 60 million. The money hasn't left, it's just choosing sides.
On Friday, there are still 10.9 billion USD worth of BTC options expiring; the back-and-forth these days is mostly the tug before settlement.
Standard Chartered cut its year-end target price to 100,000, but I don't feel pessimistic. Those who didn't hold when it fell below 80,000 are now struggling again above 81,500.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $SKHYNIX When a company starts aggressively buying back and canceling shares, it indicates two things: first, it is really making money; second, it fears the stock price will fall 🔥
On the surface:
Revenue 104.62 trillion, breaking the 100 trillion mark for the first time, exceeding expectations
Operating profit 83.33 trillion, up 632% year-over-year, exceeding expectations
But looking deeper:
Net profit 39.78 trillion, 33% lower than the market expectation of 59.66 trillion, down 58% quarter-over-quarter, net profit margin dropped directly from last quarter's high to 38%
According to normal trading logic, missing net profit by one-third should cause the stock price to fall, or at least stay flat. But today, Korean stocks opened with a 3-6% rise, and SKHY in US after-hours rose 2.78%. Why?
— Because the market is trading not on Q3, but on what comes after Q3
Yesterday, the long position target was 1060-1080, but it actually broke through 1100 directly. Those who followed have taken profits, but how far can this rally go? Xuān says a few honest words: the bears should wait today, earnings expectations are not yet fully priced in, there is likely still an intraday momentum surge, few opportunities remain for bulls, the turning point of "buy the expectation, sell the fact" is within the next 1-2 days, take profits in batches, manage your profit and loss well!Seeing the latest community preview, the 2025 Dogecoin Developer Conference (DOGE DevCon) is already being intensively prepared!
In the past, passersby often mocked, saying: "Isn't Dogecoin just an air coin pumped by Elon Musk's tweets? Does it have any technology?"
In my opinion, this idea is long outdated. From the establishment of Dogecoin Labs, to the construction of various decentralized application layers like DogeOS, and now to the increasingly large developer conferences, thousands of top geeks and developers worldwide are contributing to $DOGE. From the underlying joint mining security to application-layer consumer payments, its ecological moat is becoming thicker and thicker.
Today, the coin price pulled a beautiful bullish candle, reaching a high of $0.08029. Those who panicked and sold off during the recent volatility probably regret it now.
The market always rewards those who are patient and understand the fundamentals.
Stretch out, and let's wait and see what heavy-hitting moves the developer conference will bring next year.Looking at Amazon's latest earnings report, I'm planning to pay more attention to depreciation.
When building data centers and purchasing servers, cash may have already been spent, but the equipment costs usually enter the income statement gradually after being put into use according to accounting arrangements. Therefore, cash outflows and profit pressure may not occur in the same quarter.
This creates a phase that is easy to misjudge: as capacity comes online successively, depreciation expenses start to increase, but customer usage and revenue ramp-up still need time. Even if the demand direction remains unchanged, short-term profit margins may be affected.
Conversely, if the new equipment quickly achieves sufficient utilization, the related revenue has a better chance to absorb the additional costs.
What I care about is how these two rhythms coordinate. The depreciation and amortization in Amazon's consolidated financial statements certainly cannot be entirely attributed to AWS; when looking at the cloud business, it is also necessary to consider segment profits and management explanations to avoid hard calculations across different scopes.
AWS's growth excites me, but the larger the cloud service scale, the more operational capability is reflected in these details. Buying equipment is just the beginning; when it is put into use and how long it takes to generate stable revenue will affect the results shareholders see.
So, even if the earnings report shows profit margin fluctuations, I don't want to immediately call growth peaked. First, look at the progress of capacity and revenue corresponding to the new costs. AI investments have been ongoing for some time, and now it's worth asking how well these assets are being utilized.
#AWS算力需求旺盛，亚马逊Q3财报有哪些看点？ #美伊缓和与军事风险并存，油价持续回落
The boss has something to say
The US-Iran situation now involves both easing tensions and military risks. Iran's Supreme Leader said he is willing to end the war under certain conditions, but the US has already warned Gulf countries to prepare for possible military actions after the midterm elections. Brent crude closed at $109.74, with CL up 1.32% today and BZ up 1.09%.
Although oil prices have fallen from their highs, they are still fluctuating at a high level above one hundred dollars. I believe this sets the current macro tone. Comments are insightful: high oil prices push up inflation and rate hike expectations, becoming a key macro variable suppressing risk assets like BTC. Additionally, after the resumption of flights was announced, shipping delays and war premiums have not disappeared, so short-term landed costs are unlikely to decrease.
As long as oil prices don't come down, inflation expectations remain stubborn, the Fed's rate cut expectations will be postponed, and BTC's valuation ceiling remains. BTC experienced a waterfall drop last night; now we see if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase the rise or kill the fall; set stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC is currently at 81,471.1 (+1.16%). Although it has returned above 81,000, this is essentially a passive transmission driven by the pre-market risk appetite rebound in the US stock market. On the capital side, ETFs have still seen a net outflow of $202 million in October, and Glassnode data shows systemic trapped selling pressure above $87,000. Approximately 874,000 BTC between 81,000 and 82,500 form heavy resistance above, making every step of the rebound feel heavy. $ETH is currently at 2,373.12 (+1.16%), similarly constrained by continuous ETF outflows, with the 2,350-2,370 range being a hard resistance that must be reclaimed with volume. $ZEC (currently at 1,316.39, +1.83%) is one of the few crypto assets with an independent narrative. The 10th anniversary combined with pre-FOMC sentiment warming led to a single-day surge of up to 8%. However, capital signals are mixed: ETF inflows have only recovered about 30% of previous losses, and there is a fierce long-short battle among whales in derivatives, leaving limited room for chasing highs. The real engine is on the TradFi side. SOXL is currently at 103.67 (+3.76%), having surged 11.7% overnight during US stock hours, with TQQQ up 3.81%. Nvidia and AMD announced investments of $3 billion and $1 billion respectively into Meta, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has strengthened for two consecutive days. On the capital side, SOXL has attracted over $9 billion in the past two weeks, setting a record for the largest biweekly inflow in the product's history, with retail investors continuing to leverage up to buy the dip amid AI pullbacks. Regarding individual stocks, SNDK$BTC Bitcoin's second short squeeze stop loss has occurred, with the expected result consistent: a breakout bullish candlestick appeared. Shorts were stopped out, and the normal price is expected to pull back. The main force's purpose is to clear out these shorts, and once achieved, they naturally won't push the price up. It is not recommended to chase longs. However, currently, spot inflows are still increasing, so a rapid decline is unlikely in the short term. Personally, I have not entered a short position yet; my fixed short entry point is at 81888. If the price does not reach this level, I will watch for two short signals before deciding whether to enter a market short.$BTC rose 2.14% to 81,466.7, mainly driven by short covering, with $14.42 million in short liquidations and only $6.19 million in long liquidations. The funding rate for three periods ranged between 0.0054% and 0.0100%, and the bulls did not leverage up on the momentum. U.S. Treasury issuance may tighten somewhat, and credit spreads are no longer widening, so the financing environment for risk assets remains relatively loose in the short term. The Fed's hawkish tone will offset some of this; I consider it a mild positive, mainly affecting sentiment. Options open interest put/call ratio is 0.77, volume is 0.69, DVOL is 37.3; funds are positioned for an upward move, but no one is betting on large volatility. The total stablecoin supply is $302.7 billion, with off-exchange funds still present. The outlook is a bullish consolidation, with the high of 81,800 likely to be tested again. The bearish scenario: a drop below 79,468.3, accompanied by a negative funding rate and long liquidations surpassing shorts, would indicate this rally is just short covering and that macro positives have not been sustained. Many people do not value the importance of cash. They can't keep money idle in their hands and feel the need to invest it no matter what. Even without opportunities, they force themselves to invest, which is foolish.
Cash represents the power of choice and timing. When a black swan event causes the market to crash, holding cash to pick up bloodied chips in batches greatly increases the chances of making money. Why enter a red ocean to fight short-term battles with others when playing the simple long-term cycle game is better?
The purpose of investing is to make money, which only requires normal intelligence and respect for common sense, not to show off trading skills. The more you trade, the more you lose. When you're unsure whether to buy, don't buy; when you're unsure whether to sell, definitely sell and accumulate cash.
Cash is limited, opportunities are unlimited. Don't listen to people saying you can't miss this opportunity. If you miss it, just wait for the next one. Especially in the crypto world, black swan events are too frequent, so opportunities are even more abundant—312, 519, Luna and 3AC, FTX's chain of collapses, and last year's 10.11 incident.
If your principal can't stay idle and you trade recklessly, invest blindly without understanding, you will eventually lose everything. When opportunities within your circle of competence come, if you no longer have principal, that will be tragic.BTC has already touched 81,300, yet Coinbase's premium is still stuck at -0.16%. The US buying momentum is really slow this time. Yesterday, there was clearly net buying in the spot market, but over here in the US, the price still hasn't been pushed higher than elsewhere. It's good that someone is taking the coins, but this buying strength hasn't convinced me to chase up yet.
A negative premium doesn't mean BTC can't rise; the move from 79,500 to 81,300 has already happened. What worries me more is that as it’s about to break through, the US side still won't follow, and it ends up retreating back near 80,000. Damn, when it's moving sideways it's boring, but when it really reaches the previous high, I get scared to buy. I always feel like as soon as I enter, it starts to pull back.
Looking at the previous 80,948 level, the 15-minute 20 EMA is at 80,961, and the MACD is turning down. I still want to go long, but I prefer to wait around 80,700–80,800. If it can hold there, I might try a little; if a bearish candle smashes through, then I'll keep watching and not force a buy just because I'm fixated on this level. If it drops below 80,500 again, I'll exit. This trade is just to catch a rebound; I don't plan to stick around to re-explore 79,500.
Around 81,200–81,300, I'll probably start to lighten up. If it doesn't break the previous high and the premium doesn't recover, I'll only keep a small position to take a chance. Of course, if it really breaks through, I want to hold more, but now I'm already worried that if it rises there, I won't want to sell. Tonight, I'll focus on whether Coinbase's discount can narrow—don't want to be shouting that US funds are back while the price is still lower than elsewhere.$INIT
The foundation steps in to cover the shortfall; I always treat it as a rebound, not a reversal.
The Initia foundation just approved funding to cover the collateral gap of iUSD, causing INIT to jump from 0.15 to 0.18, rising nearly 20% in 24 hours, reaching a high of 0.198.
I've seen this kind of market many times. When collateral has issues, the project team immediately injects funds to stabilize it, so the price naturally bounces. But what bounces is sentiment; the size of the shortfall and whether the funds are enough won’t be clearly stated in the announcement.
The market cap is also pitifully small: OKX perpetual positions total only $880,000, with a funding rate of 0.00005. With this scale, a few million dollars can shape the price however they want, so don’t use technical analysis to measure it.
My stance today is clear: I won’t chase this kind of rebound. If I were to trade it, I’d only treat it as a range that will repeat, unrelated to value recovery.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC
24-hour low was 79505, I stared at this number for a long time. When it dropped below 80,000, the group was full of wails; now it has pulled back above 81500, but the quality is yet to be verified.
At 2:30 AM tonight, Walsh will hold the FOMC press conference. The whole market is just waiting for this one meeting, so it's not surprising that the market is so tight—BTC perpetual funding rate is only one ten-thousandth, and contract positions of 25.2 billion USD are stagnant.
I'm more concerned about the ETF side: yesterday BTC spot ETF had a net inflow of 176 million, with BlackRock alone accounting for 151 million; on the same day, ETH ETF actually saw an outflow of over 60 million. The money hasn't left, it's just choosing sides.
On Friday, there are still 10.9 billion USD worth of BTC options expiring; the back-and-forth these days is mostly the tug before settlement.
Standard Chartered cut the year-end target price to 100,000, but I don't feel pessimistic. Those who didn't hold the line when it fell below 80,000 are now struggling again above 81500.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $CORE block production decentralization is one thing, but the team cashing out and dumping tokens on the community is another.
For months, liquidity and token distribution have never been publicly addressed, core contributors quietly wiped "Core" from their Twitter bios, the token price plummeted to an all-time low, and then they turn around and announce "mission accomplished, officially handing over to the community"?
Frankly, it's just packaging a run-away in a more grandiose way. Validators running blocks can't control the treasury and reserve tokens in your hands that can be dumped at any time. If the community were truly in charge, the team wallets would be transparent first; don't use "decentralization" as a get-out-of-jail-free card to abandon the mess.Yesterday, the spot market was quite lively, but Americans still haven't bought back the premium. Coinbase's BTC premium is still at -0.16%, which is a bit disappointing to see. However, net buying and negative premium can occur simultaneously: someone is receiving coins, but that doesn't mean the buying pressure on Coinbase is stronger than elsewhere.
I take this as a reason to be a bit less aggressive, not to say that if the US buying pressure hasn't returned, BTC absolutely can't rise. It has already been pulled up from around 79,500 to 81,300. Whether it can go further up is the current dilemma. Damn, the worst is around 81,000 where it looks like it’s about to break through, you buy in, but others are still waiting for the Americans, and you get stuck waiting.
Based on the previous 80,948 chart, I still lean towards waiting for a pullback to go long. The 15-minute 20 moving average is at 80,961, the price is just touching it, but the MACD is turning down. I'm interested in the 80,700–80,800 range, but it depends on how it comes down—whether it retreats slowly or crashes through directly, those are two completely different things. If it really tests below 80,500, I will withdraw first; I won’t use negative premium as an excuse for losses. If it can return to 81,200–81,300, I’d consider taking some profits, especially when the premium hasn’t improved yet, making me reluctant to bet on a one-shot breakout.
Right now, the spot buying gives some confidence, but we still need to watch the US side. If it really pushes to the previous high tonight, I want to check Coinbase at the same time, to make sure the price hasn’t gone up again while the -0.16% premium is still hanging there. Isn't it a coincidence that the price surged at this exact point?
$BTC surged to 81,600, $ETH touched 2,376, and $SOL also bounced to 103. It looks lively, and some people have started shouting "The bull is back."
But pay attention to one detail: this surge happened less than ten hours before the Federal Reserve's announcement.
True bottom reversals quietly emerge when no one is paying attention. There's no grand fanfare or deliberate surge right before a decision that the entire market is watching, just to show off.
Look at where the prices have reached. $ETH at 2,376, just below 2,388 and 2,406, which are holding over 8 million short positions; $BTC at 81,600, with the 82,000 round number directly pressing down on 27 million. This surge precisely pushed prices into the cost zone of trapped positions.
Think about it: with so many people trapped above, why would the main players push prices up now to help them break even? To be the good guys?
No such luck. Pushing prices to the trapped positions makes those who are breaking even think "the market is really good," so they hesitate to sell or even add to their positions; it makes those who haven't entered afraid of missing out and chase in. Once enough people have taken the bait, the announcement drops, and the price crashes.
In short, this kind of surge before the announcement is just for show. If a real reversal were coming, they wouldn't kindly give you a heads-up in advance.

#美伊缓和与军事风险并存，油价持续回落 #RobinhoodQ3 revenue growth, net profit decline
Robinhood's earnings report has completely exposed the retail investors in the US stock market. The pre-market stock price plummeted 10%, which is totally justified.
On the surface, revenue hit a quarterly high of $1.424 billion, up 12%. But looking further down at profits, net profit dropped 14% year-over-year, and earnings per share fell short of expectations. The biggest bombshell: crypto trading revenue plunged 55% year-over-year, down to only $120 million.
What does this mean? It means retail investors have basically stopped playing, and there's no liquidity left in the market. Bitcoin is struggling around the 80,000 mark with extremely light trading volume, and these numbers are the truest reflection of that.
So how is revenue holding up? It's thanks to event contracts (prediction markets). This segment generated $173 million in revenue, 6.4 times that of the same period last year. When one side is dark, the other shines—retail investors have stopped trading crypto and have all shifted to betting on elections and sports. But the profit margin of this new business is clearly lower than crypto, directly dragging down overall profits.
This has a big impact on our market. Robinhood is a global barometer of retail investor sentiment. The plunge in crypto revenue directly confirms the current market is extremely cash-strapped, with no new retail money coming in.
Tonight there's also the Federal Reserve decision looming, with very high macro risk. My trading strategy is clear: focus intently on the 80,000 level. Follow the trend and short on a volume-backed break below; if volume is light and it holds, cautiously test with small positions. Don't get carried away—take profits if you have them, cash is king. $HOOD $xHOOD #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元
SK Hynix Q3 earnings surpass 100 trillion KRW for the first time
SK Hynix Q3 financial report released: operating profit hits a new high, but earnings per share fall short of expectations. How will the US stock market react tonight?
This morning, SK Hynix announced its Q3 financial report, with some highlights but also reasons for caution.
Revenue reached 104.62 trillion KRW, a 32% quarter-on-quarter increase; operating profit was 83.33 trillion KRW, up 38% quarter-on-quarter, both hitting new highs.
However, the issue is: operating profit exceeding expectations does not mean earnings per share also beat expectations.
SK Hynix's net profit was 39.78 trillion KRW, below the market expectation of about 59.67 trillion KRW. Based on the ADR earnings per share metric I follow for US stocks, this cannot simply be classified as a comprehensive beat.
I believe tonight's market open will focus on three aspects:
1️⃣ How much of the positive news has already been priced in?
AI storage demand, HBM4 volume ramp-up, and future capacity locked in by long-term agreements are all reasons supporting SK Hynix. But if the market has already traded on these positives in advance, profit-taking may occur after the earnings release.
2️⃣ Will the earnings per share miss suppress the stock price?
This is a key point to watch tonight. The market buys not only revenue and operating profit but also looks at whether final profits can be realized. If EPS is below expectations, it may affect investors' willingness to continue buying at higher prices.
3️⃣ Can the gains hold after the market opens?
My judgment is: a higher open is still possible tonight, but it should not be seen as a one-sided rally. If the high open lacks follow-through, beware of a pullback; if buying continues after a pullback, strength may develop. $UNI, does a rise in risk appetite really mean a recovery in on-chain transactions? The AI rebound in the US stock market has improved risk sentiment, but DEX revenue depends on volume and fees being realized. If spot and on-chain transactions rise in sync, the value capture of governance tokens is more likely to be reconsidered; if trading is only concentrated in short-term hotspots and fees lack sustainability, I would avoid equating a macro rebound with an improvement in protocol cash flow.2252 $ETH transferred into OKX, I think it will strengthen bearish sentiment — transfers into exchanges raise expectations of selling pressure, but it does not yet prove a downward price trend.
I have three rules for trends: direction is determined by price, transfers cannot define the trend; strength is judged by volume and price, suspected selling does not equal volume-driven decline; rhythm requires confirmation, I don't make decisions based on large holders' moves.
Trend is the best friend, I don't jump the gun. After this transfer, should everyone use moving average direction or volume-price coordination to judge the trend?$UNITREE 🔻🤖 UNITREE — BEARISH SHORT SETUP 📉

The gap between the whales is so big, it can't be pulled upTwo inconspicuous position changes have revealed the real path of old money entering the market. Those buying Bitcoin are shifting from retail investors to pension funds.
Vanguard's small-cap ETF bought 4.5 million shares of Metaplanet, worth $7.5 million. This is not because fund managers suddenly became bullish on Bitcoin; it's the index rules driving this. This Japanese company treats Bitcoin as a core asset reserve. Over the past year, it has expanded its market value to an index level by issuing bonds to buy coins. Once its market value and liquidity reach the small-cap threshold, the passive fund's algorithm engine automatically places orders.
The closed loop is very clear: the treasury buys coins to push up the stock price, the stock price enters the index, passive ETFs are forced to follow, and the treasury then uses premium issuance to exchange back into fiat currency to continue accumulating spot. Tens of trillions in passive funds in traditional markets have thus become an invisible ammunition depot for Bitcoin. Ordinary people's pension accounts are also indirectly exposed to coin price fluctuations by holding an index fund.
On the other side, Ark Invest actively bought 65,615 shares of Circle for $5.23 million. This time it is a proactive move. While coin prices fluctuate between bull and bear markets, the demand for on-chain dollar settlement only increases. Circle absorbs fiat currency to convert into USDC, and its reserves are deposited into U.S. Treasuries to earn risk-free interest spreads. This business is simple and highly profitable.
$BTC is the ultimate target of the treasury stock closed loop, $USDC stands at the compliant clearing rent-collecting position, and $ETH supports on-chain settlement. Old money no longer tests the waters but directly pays in the name of equity.$BTC Bitcoin price has successfully retraced to the 4-hour 120 moving average, just as I predicted earlier.
I am planning to short at 81888 and have already set the pending order, but there is still the FOMC tonight, which will increase volatility. The market has already priced in the interest rate remaining unchanged, with no bearish or bullish factors. The price will continue to follow the original trend, which is a bearish trend. Even if there is a short-term rally, it won't hold for long. The US stock market has closed, but on-chain trading continues. Circle tokens have risen 7 points more than the underlying stock. Both bulls and bears are paying to bet on tomorrow's $xSNDK SNDK perpetual at $1287.05, up 3.91%.
xyz is quoted at 1281.60, a 2.07% premium over the close, with a 30-day at -28.11%. If the premium falls to 0.5% or the rate turns negative, this wave is over.
$xSPCX, which has no real shares, SPCX is at $152.39, up 2.29%, with a 2.96% premium over the underlying stock. This is a Pre-IPO synthetic product, with RSI and OI missing. A premium over 3% means it has lost its peg; technical levels are ignored, only the premium matters.
$xCRCL, where the underlying stock and token are competing, CRCL is at $85.02, up 9.18%. The underlying stock closed yesterday at 81.58, with an intraday range of 78.32-81.77. The token premium is 4.2%. If the stock closes above 81.77, the premium can be maintained; if it falls below 78.32, the 4.2% premium will be wiped out.
When the US stock market is closed, stock tokens are guessing tomorrow's opening price for you.$BTC 874,000 BTC coins press down overhead.
Support turns into a ceiling.
Let's break it down first. Bitfinex Alpha data from October 26: around $81,000 to $82,500, there is a cost accumulation of 874,000 coins. $81,300 held for several weeks, but on October 22, 23, and 24, the price closed below it for three consecutive days, turning support into resistance.
Are these 874,000 coins already listed sell orders? No. This is a cost distribution, meaning the buying price of this group is stuck around this range. As long as the price rebounds back, their first thought is not to add positions but to break even and exit. Selling pressure is determined by cost; it emerges naturally without anyone shouting.
What about below? The low on October 24 was $79,250. From the high on September 21 at $87,392, it dropped 9.3%. Further down, $77,000 to $77,765 is the next support, where the whale cost line and the real market average price are very close.
First, see if it can stand back above $82,500. If it can't, then it's still the same story.
Support turns into a ceiling. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ After Bitcoin's short-term surge, I lean bearish; in the next few hours, I expect a pullback or sideways movement and will not chase the rally. Ethereum's active trades are nearly balanced, so I currently expect consolidation without taking a directional bet. Bitcoin's low in the past 12 hours was 80,621.70, and the high was 81,500.00. Bitcoin's price has reached near the upper boundary of the recent range, but during this period, active selling has consistently outweighed active buying. Among the buys, there are short reductions, which do not indicate new long entries; among the sells, there are short additions, long reductions, and long-to-short flips. The price was first pushed up, then sell orders quickly absorbed the trades. This kind of surge lacks follow-through, so I am cautious of a pullback. Ethereum's low in the past 12 hours was 2,340.00, and the high was 2,379.00. Ethereum is also near the upper boundary of its range, with active buying only slightly exceeding selling, a very thin advantage. In large samples, forced liquidations and unclear actions account for a significant portion, making it hard to discern bullish or bearish intent from these trades; the remaining evidence is insufficient for me to bet on a rise. Focusing only on price risks mistaking a rebound for a breakout, so I still treat the short term as consolidation, waiting to see if it stabilizes near the upper boundary or reverses. If active selling continues to outweigh active buying, Bitcoin will struggle to hold its highs; only when Ethereum's active buying consistently dominates and Bitcoin's selling pressure recedes will I change to a bullish view.
