What is currently truly impacting cryptocurrencies are oil prices, U.S. Treasury bonds, U.S. economic data, and the midterm elections. The weekend rebound does not relieve the pressure.
BTC, ETH, and SOL are all rebounding, but weekend trading volume is low, and this round of gains lacks sufficient incremental capital support. However, BTC spot ETFs have seen a net outflow of about $774 million over the last two trading days, with institutional buying not returning yet; we will continue to watch Monday's situation.
Oil prices have risen to $116.72, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remains near 4.99%. Rising oil prices push inflation higher, and the nearly 5% risk-free yield on U.S. Treasuries continues to absorb liquidity, which is why BTC's rebound has been consistently uneven.
At this time, Trump announced a diesel agreement with Russia, where Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 tons and supply another 500,000 tons in November. After the announcement, futures briefly dropped nearly 5%. On the surface, this increases oil supply, but behind it is an attempt to suppress energy prices before the November 3 midterm elections to stabilize inflation and votes.
Crypto policy is also tied to the elections. The CLARITY Act previously only received 50 votes, 10 votes short of advancing; control of Congress will determine the legislative pace in 2027.
Tonight at 22:30, the U.S. will also release the October Dallas Fed Business Activity Index, with a previous value of 9.8. If the data remains strong, tightening pressure will not disappear.
Today is Monday; we continue to wait and see. Until oil prices, U.S. Treasuries, and ETF funds truly reverse, weekend gains should only be viewed as a correction. 50x short position earned 11x, it's not my skill, it's that $SAND nailed the rhythm this round.
Here's the logic: This coin surged nearly double after the Korean exchange lifted its warning, but there's no fundamental support. The project team's massive token unlock expectation looms overhead, macro CPI data suppresses risk assets, and Binance raised collateral rates to curb leverage demand. It couldn't rise past 0.06123 that day, so I judged the good news was fully priced in and entered.
Now at 0.04762, it has hit the 0.047 support level. Coins that crash this hard often have technical rebounds at any time.
Don't add positions later; take profits on most now, keep a small base position to follow along, raise stop loss near 0.05, don't let the gains fly away.
$ETH $IRYS #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ I am the mid-term intelligence guy
$ETH market cap has evaporated by 54 billion USD in nearly three weeks, and this round of adjustment may be nearing its end
Keep a close eye on ETH's deleveraging wave. The market cap has shrunk by about 54 billion in nearly three weeks, with a 15% price correction and overall weakness in altcoins. ETH open interest contracts decreased by 1.3 billion this month; this wave is driven by a combination of decline, chain liquidations, and active position closures.
But looking back to July, open interest contracts shrank even more sharply, then stabilized and rebounded over 32% breaking 2800. Deleveraging is part of the adjustment and, accompanied by panic, often signals the end.
From a mid-term perspective, after risk release, opportunities may be brewing.

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ "Don't mistake a V for a reversal! Pin repair ≠ end of weakness" 📉
$BTC: Returning above 80,000 is just stopping the bleeding, not a cure 🩹. The upper MA7/20/30 around 82,000/82,600/83,100 still act like three gates pressing down, the bearish pattern remains intact. Behind last night's sharp drop: ETF outflows of 773 million over two days, 837 million leveraged longs liquidated (82.8%), Arthur Hayes' liquidation intensified sentiment, and thin weekend liquidity amplified the stampede. 80,000 looks more like short-term support after panic selling.
$ETH: Still the weakest link technically ⚠️. 2,320 hit a two-month low, RSI at 31.8 entering oversold, but all moving averages are overhead, 30-day position only 3.5%. On the capital side, it's colder: ETF net outflows totaled 1.175 billion USD over 14 trading days this month, no fresh funds, making rebounds hard to sustain 💧.
$ZEC: Bounced from 1,119 to 1,210 is just a repair, above MA7 but suppressed by MA20/30. RSI 41.3 not oversold, 30-day position 25%, more like a rebound after a crash. Previously, leveraged longs concentrated liquidations, single-hour liquidations accounted for 98% of the market, don't mistake technical repair for trend reversal 🚫.
Conclusion: The weak cycle remains unchanged, rebounds are tradable, don't rush to call a reversal 🧊. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 Global asset decline alert! Liquidity tightening, $BTC retreats to key cost zone
📊 Market synchronized signals
✅ BTC, US stocks, gold, and silver all weaken simultaneously; safe-haven funds are not flowing into crypto but instead pouring into US Treasuries
✅ Gold is also being sold off, indicating that this is not a simple risk appetite cooling but liquidity is tightening
✅ Bond market issues a warning first: large corporate financing costs rise, Meta's default cost hits a historic high, big players prioritize hiding money in the safest assets
✅ Rising oil prices make inflation harder to control, pushing back rate cut expectations, and liquidity will only tighten further
Core
BTC's current key defense line is between 80,000 and 81,500, which is the big players' cost zone. Holding this level allows for consolidation; if broken, the next focus is 77,600. The entire market is seeking shelter—don't stubbornly hold in the rain: stabilize above 80,000 before considering bottom fishing, exit first if broken. The real risk of a major crash is still ahead; a big collapse is inevitable. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 Can Robinhood's trading business growth continue? Robinhood's Q3 earnings report is more like a comprehensive checkup of "retail trading sentiment + crypto activity + new business monetization." Q2 revenue of $1.308 billion and net profit of $561 million set records, but the market is more concerned about whether Q3 can sustain this rather than just breaking new highs again. From the disclosed data, Q3 stock trading volume was about $267 billion, crypto trading volume about $45 billion, already higher than Q2; prediction market contracts also continue to expand. However, consensus expects revenue around $1.39 billion to $1.41 billion, with year-over-year growth possibly falling to single-digit or low double-digit percentages, indicating growth is shifting gears due to the high base. The three key points to watch are: whether crypto trading revenue rebounds above $100 million as in Q2; whether the prediction market can continue to be a second growth curve; and whether net deposits, platform assets, and Gold subscriptions continue to expand. Among new businesses, AI trading agents, perpetual contracts, and Trump Accounts are more valuation stories in the short term, with limited contribution to Q3 profits. The stock price recently fell back from above $100, showing expectations are not low. If the earnings report confirms crypto recovery, strong trading activity, and new user asset growth, valuation premiums will be more stable; if revenue only slightly exceeds expectations but guidance is conservative, the market may still treat it as "good news priced in." The above is only a pre-earnings observation and does not constitute investment advice. $BTC $ETH 📌 Ethereum Glamsterdam's activation window on Hoodi has been postponed; the new time is yet to be determined. The gas accounting for EIP-8037 and mainnet contract interactions still require review, with 13 contracts flagged by the audit as triggers. Currently, this is a pause button, not a cancel button, so holders need not take any action. ⏸️
Market: $BTC 80591, -0.44%, open interest 54.189 billion; $ETH 2345, -1.37%, open interest 30.290 billion; $SOL 101, -0.89%, open interest 6.278 billion. 📉
Options: For October 30 expiry, BTC calls 87,900, puts 49,300, PCR 0.56, notional 11.042 billion; ETH calls 186,800, puts 150,700, PCR 0.81, notional 790 million. Call dominance only indicates a bullish tilt, not that the market has turned bullish. ⚖️
Retail reminder: The settlement price is based on the average price in the half hour before settlement; the heavier the position, the more the spot price is likely to be influenced; ETH upgrade pause does not harm the chain but temporarily removes a narrative catalyst, so the market must bear it itself. 🧭
My judgment is conditional: If no new lows are broken before settlement, bullish positions still provide support; if new lows are broken first, volatility during settlement week may increase, and I will not bet early. 🤔
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 So tragic, so tragic! Bought coins for $27, now worth 12.2 million on paper, but can't transfer a single cent 😂
In April 2023, an address spent $27.11 to buy about 2.51 trillion PEPE tokens. Just 8 minutes after the transaction, the project team directly blacklisted this address in the contract. Four years later, the coins have grown on paper to about $12.2 million, visible to anyone on the chain, but the owner can't transfer, sell, or move them.
What's even more extreme is that the contract ownership was abandoned long ago, the blacklist is permanently locked, and it can't be changed or undone. The same address also holds LADYS, which is similarly blacklisted. The money is still on the chain, but the person has been permanently kicked out of the game.
In crypto, people show off hundredfold gains every day, but some catch golden dogs and can never get off the ride. Watching this kind of drama makes your palms sweat; this is the daily magic of the crypto world.This weekend's market looks like a stagnant pool, but there's an indicator that's much more honest than the price: the Coinbase premium.
It's currently negative, and not just briefly—it’s staying close to the negative value. To put it plainly: on the US spot side, it's not that someone is quietly buying up, but rather that funds are flowing out. $BTC is hovering almost motionless around 80,000, and many interpret this sideways movement as "the main players accumulating and gearing up for a move." But if you look at the premium, it looks more like a stalemate where no one is buying or willing to sell aggressively, not a buildup.
The most deceptive thing about a stagnant market is this: it gives you no sentiment, yet lets you imagine a direction and then go all in. Instead of guessing when it will move, better to admit—right now, there’s neither a reason to chase longs nor fuel to chase shorts.
So, do you see this sideways movement as accumulation, or as no one stepping in?"933.16% unrealized profit relies on 46.66% actual volatility."
$APR 20x short, 0.0805→0.04294. Leverage ×20 fits perfectly, original position unchanged.

This is the coldest divergence I've seen tonight.
The total open interest across the network shrank by 1.15% in one day, down to 139.466 billion. Contract trading volume shrank even more drastically, dropping 39.82% in one day, down to 87.708 billion. With volume shrinking like this, BTC is still hovering above 80,500, ETH oscillates around 2,350, and SOL grinds near 101, with price changes all under 0.25%.
The open interest of the three major mainstream coins is also simultaneously moving outward: BTC shrank by 1.65%, ETH by 2.63%, and SOL by 1.83%. The price hasn't collapsed, but positions are withdrawing first. This isn't a panic sell-off; it's big money pulling chips back from the table. Without strong data support on Monday, a 40% volume shrink isn't surprising; but the synchronized withdrawal of positions means it's not just Monday sluggishness.
Only ZEC is moving in the opposite direction: its open interest rose 3.80% in one day, reaching 2.43 billion, and its price jumped near 1,216. However, its liquidation amount reached 3.76 million, surpassing SOL's 3.31 million. The hotter the money chases, the more people get taken out inside; this wave isn't purely strong.
It's like people haven't left yet, but half the chairs are already empty. If BTC can't hold the 80,500 level, the next step depends on whether trading volume returns to fill the gap; with ZEC's chasing method, I won't catch the last leg.
So my trading advice for everyone is simple: don't add positions in the three major mainstream coins, don't chase ZEC at highs, reduce positions one more notch, and wait for volume to return before discussing direction.$CL $BZ Trump's remarks on Iran are impressive; he really understands how to play the pricing power of crude oil.
Whether it's "complete elimination" or "reaching an agreement," he has turned geopolitics into his personal game tool. To manipulate the market chips, he clearly doesn't care about lowering oil prices for the midterm elections or domestic inflation; he mainly plays an extreme pressure game, jumping back and forth.
Actually, the current crude oil market is entirely propped up by his tough talk creating a speculative bubble. When the election situation tightens or Iran offers a way out, he can soften his tone anytime. Once his rhetoric retreats, the oil price, which is all built on sentiment, will plunge in an instant.
Oil prices dropped sharply from 103.84, finally not lingering at a high level, which was quite uncomfortable. Now crude oil is at 101.59, fluctuating normally. Crude oil can ease a bit; otherwise, this $XAU gold has fallen so much along the way, it's hard to tell where it has dropped to.$BTC Cycle Starting Point Eve: Four Layers of Positions, Patiently Waiting for Signals
From a cycle perspective, $BTC is approaching the start of a bull market; however, the overall environment is not favorable—rising oil prices, US stock market breakdowns, new highs in government bonds, and ongoing expectations of interest rate hikes present many bearish factors. A more suitable approach at this time is: build BTC long positions at low levels, and focus on short opportunities in other assets at high levels.
📌 Current positions: Three layers have been invested at 80642, after breaking 80,000 add one more layer, totaling four layers, with an average price of 80365.
📌 Future plan: No further additions; wait for definitive signals before adding three more layers; meanwhile, observe patiently and do not watch if there is no market movement.
📌 Range judgment: Limited downside space near 80,000, possibly long-term consolidation or a pullback near 74,000; but once it starts, the bull market rise will be very rapid.
📌 Trading discipline: Don’t be misled by small fluctuations, don’t see the trees but miss the forest. Trade long-term on weekly and monthly dimensions, return to the original plan, and strictly control position size.
Conclusion: Before the cycle is confirmed, position size is more important than predictions; patience is more valuable than frequent trading. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Keystone, the hardware wallet maker, discovered on October 20 that their official website was hacked. After verifying with Shopify on October 23, it was confirmed that a third party had obtained customers' shipping information.
The leaked data includes names, contact information, shipping addresses, and order details — basically what you bought and how much you spent. What was not leaked are bank cards, mnemonic phrases, private keys, and wallet passwords.
Most people will breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this, thinking their assets are safe. But what was really taken are three other things: who you are, where you live, and which device you bought. Together, this forms a ready-made, precise scam list.
What is most likely to happen next is not coin theft, but someone calling you claiming to be customer service, saying the device needs to be recalled, replaced, or refunded, then guiding you to enter your mnemonic phrase into a so-called new official device sent to you. This step is the real wipeout.
My judgment is that the security narrative around hardware wallets needs to be revised. The device itself can indeed resist remote attacks, but a single vulnerability on the company’s official website can expose the addresses of tens of thousands of users.
In the short term, watch out for two things: official email announcements, and any customer service contact reaching out to you in the next month — assume they are scammers. If you need to visit the official website, type the domain yourself; do not click links in messages. $PEPE
There's nothing much to see about PEPE dropping 4%, but the price and positions shrinking together is interesting. Contract open interest dropped nearly 4% in four hours, and the funding rate is close to zero. The price is falling, positions are exiting, and no one is competing for the funding rate—bulls are too lazy to waste effort on it.
Mainstream coins at least have ETF capital inflows and outflows to reference, but for this purely sentiment-driven coin, once the hype fades, even a decent rebound is hard to come by. I stopped touching these kinds a long time ago; the lesson from the last round was mistaking sentiment for value.
Right now, it's hovering around 0.0000043. When the open interest comes back first, I'll take another look at it.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ BTC repeatedly tests below $80,000. The fear and greed index is 53-54, neutral, neither a bottom nor frenzy. Funds have not exited but are reallocating their exit points. 🤔 ZEC is a sample worth dissecting. As of the week ending October 23, Grayscale's Zcash ETF (ZCSH) saw a net inflow of $41.1 million, ending a previous three-week total outflow of $143 million. During the same period, BTC spot ETFs had a single-day outflow of $138 million on Friday. ZEC's current price is about $1,216, down 21.62% over 30 days, with a 7-day rebound of +8.00%. The scale of capital returning, viewed against the 30-day decline, is a correction, not a reversal. 📈 OKB's narrative lies beyond the price. OKX and ICE (NYSE parent company) have submitted an application for a tokenized stock trading venue covering over 60 US stocks, operating 24/7 on X Layer. But OKB's current price is $108.18, down 11.29% over 30 days, failing to hold above the $120 level after repeated tug-of-war. The narrative is a slow variable; price is a fast variable. Condition for change: a volume breakout above the $122-126 double-top area is needed to talk about structural change; otherwise, the range remains a range. 🖊 The common point is: funds are making "asymmetric expressions." It's not a blanket bullish stance on altcoins but a targeted allocation in BTC weakness toward assets with independent catalysts, ETF channels, and clear supply narratives. ZEC's privacy narrative, OKB's exchange stockBrothers, that weekend sell-off scared a lot of people. BTC hit a low of 79168, but now it has pulled back to around 80400.
Why is there buying below 80,000? Glassnode data makes it very clear — 80,000 to 81,500 is the average cost basis for ETFs and corporate treasuries. These institutions have their cost basis here; if it falls below, their unrealized gains turn into unrealized losses, and their mindset shifts from "holding" to "whether to run." So at this level, naturally, someone steps in to support the market.
Liquidity was so thin over the weekend that even hitting 79168 didn’t push it further down, indicating there is indeed buying support below 80,000. But note, having buy orders and not being temporarily breached are two different things. Before the FOMC, the 80,000 level will be tugged back and forth repeatedly.

The Dow Jones dropped 653 points in a single day, while the market prices in only a 10% chance of a rate hike next week. These two facts together are the key point. My judgment is: the rate hike itself is not the risk; the real risk is that the market has already assumed no rate hike, so any hawkish statement will be treated as a sudden surprise and cause a repricing. BTC's 24-hour volatility around 80,000 is only 0.2%, ETH is stuck at 2,334, and SUI fell another 1.3%. This volume contraction is not calmness but waiting for a trigger point.
Therefore, I am not taking directional positions at this level. I keep 30% as the base position, exit if it breaks below 76,800, and reduce half when it rebounds to 86,000. Let it grind through the middle range. Real losses often happen when the direction is unclear but bets are placed prematurely.

#OKXProphet #Can SanDisk's storage business high growth continue? Can the "fat meat" of storage chips still be eaten now? In this earnings season, AI hardware giants are all crazily attracting money, and this time it's finally SanDisk's turn to deliver results. On October 29 after the US stock market closes, SanDisk will release its latest earnings report. Their own forecast is quite confident, with quarterly revenue expected between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion. Why so bold? It's all thanks to the explosive demand from AI data centers, combined with the continuous rise in NAND flash prices. Market expectations have already been pulled very high, with 76% of funds betting that its earnings will beat expectations. Looking at the market, related tokenized stocks SNDK and xSNDK have also risen about 1% in advance, with funds positioning early. But my personal view is that the more the whole market is celebrating, the more cautious you should be. AI storage demand is indeed strong, but this is a typical cyclical industry. Now that expectations are so full, even if the earnings data is good, if it doesn't "significantly exceed" Wall Street's greedy appetite, it could quickly become a "sell the news" event and crash the stock. More importantly, some in the community are discussing "ChangXin's technological breakthrough triggering a collective revaluation of the storage sector." This is the most fatal logic: once domestic storage technology rises and breaks the original monopoly pattern, with large-scale capacity release in the future, how long can the high-price dividend of storage chips last? What big money is actually betting on now is whether this cycle has peaked or not. What impact? In the short term, if SanDisk#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？
Future Growth Points
- Asset Tokenization: JPMorgan Chase estimates that the global market value of tokenized assets could exceed $16 trillion by 2030; Robinhood, with its consumer entry point and compliance advantages, is expected to be an early beneficiary in tokenized government bonds, gold, real estate, and other areas.
- Internationalization: Acquired Bitstamp to expand in Europe; selected Singapore as the Asia-Pacific headquarters, planning to launch crypto trading by the end of 2025 and gradually expand to Hong Kong, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
Comprehensive Assessment and Key Metrics
- Comprehensive Assessment: In the short term, growth is driven by prediction markets and crypto business; in the medium term, by asset tokenization and internationalization; in the long term, constrained by regulation and competition. Supported by product innovation and improved user quality, growth is sustainable but may slow due to a high base.
- Key Tracking Metrics:
- Prediction market revenue and user growth
- Crypto business trading volume and licensing progress
- Robinhood Chain revenue and on-chain transaction scale
- Gold membership penetration rate and ARPU
- Regulatory policy trends (especially PFOF and crypto compliance)Gold is not a safe haven that only goes up and never down. From January 1980 to March 1985, as the U.S. economy recovered and geopolitical tensions eased, it fell 66% over five years.
From December 1987 to September 1999, an even longer period, the Federal Reserve kept raising interest rates, and the internet siphoned off funds, causing a 50% drop over 12 years. It declined for twelve consecutive years, with people periodically shouting that it had hit bottom.
There were four major corrections, the shortest lasting two years, with the smallest drop being 44%. Slow declines are the most wearing because every day looks like an opportunity.This round fell from 86,000 to 80,000, my real account retraced 4.2%, the position cost is 81,500, and the stop-loss order is set at 76,800.

#OKXProphet Many people treat gold as a bottom-line safe-haven asset, thinking it will only rise slowly and not plunge deeply. Looking back through history, this impression doesn't hold up.
From December 1974 to August 1976, countries intervened to sell off and suppress overheated gold prices, causing a 44% drop in two years, nearly halving its value.
From January 1980 to March 1985, with the U.S. economy recovering and geopolitical tensions easing, gold fell 66% over five years, losing two-thirds of its value.
The harshest was from December 1987 to September 1999, when the Federal Reserve kept raising interest rates and the internet boom drew away funds. Over a full 12 years, gold prices dropped 50%.
From September 2011 to December 2015, as the subprime crisis risk faded and global recovery took hold, gold declined 46% in four years.
These four deep corrections lasted from as short as two years to as long as twelve, with declines all exceeding 40%. The so-called safe haven avoids risks elsewhere, not its own drawdowns.
Looking at the crypto space makes this even clearer. Bitcoin regularly retraces 30% to 50% from its highs, and many criticize its volatility; gold has also halved in value before, just that it fell slowly—slowly enough to make you think it wouldn’t fall.
So don’t label any asset as "stable." Before placing an order, ask yourself: if it drops by half tomorrow, can I hold on? If you can’t hold your position, you won’t keep your gains either. Everyone is waiting for that capitulation spike, but the reality is: the last cycle's spike appeared after the SEC launched a fierce crackdown on Binance and CZ, sued Coinbase, tried to freeze Binance US assets, and the Federal Reserve paused rate hikes while sending hawkish signals. This was a perfect storm of coordinated bad news.
Unless you have insider information about another major regulatory crackdown or macro shock coming, betting on history repeating exactly is wishful thinking. Market moves rhyme but don’t repeat exactly. History gives you patterns, not guarantees.
What about those buyers who stayed on the sidelines in Q4 waiting for the perfect bottom? They’re still waiting. Meanwhile, $BTC has dropped 9% from recent highs — a normal pullback in a bull market, not a crisis.
The strategy is simple: keep dollar-cost averaging $BTC over the next few weeks. You’re buying a healthy correction in an uptrend, not trying to catch a falling knife. This is how you accumulate chips and fund your future freedom — with a plan, no emotion, process-driven. Waiting for a spike that may never come offers no advantage. The charts have already given you an entry opportunity, seize it. $ETH $BTC $SOL Conclusion first: it rose back from 80,219 to 80,486, and the unrealized profit shrank from 98% to 65%—a drop of over thirty points, and I didn't move once.
$BTC short at 81,014.7, now at 80,486.7, down 0.65%, magnified 100 times to 65.17%. The screenshot just now showed it reached 80,219.2, only 219 points away from eighty thousand; now it has retreated 267 points, and the unrealized profit has dropped accordingly.
Shrinkage is not a signal; breaking the price level is—the confusion of these two concepts causes losses every time. It is still below 81,000, and the basis for shorting (losing 81,000 without reclaiming it, lower lows, and volume contraction on rebound) remains intact.
What really needs monitoring is the buffer: 0.66%, 528 points. If it rises this much, I’ve worked for nothing. BTC’s normal fluctuations in a few minutes exceed this number, so this position cannot be considered safe, just not yet broken.
The break-even point has long been pushed up, worst case locked at zero. Break 80,000 and follow to 79,800; if it stands back at 81,014.7, admit the mistake and exit. $ETH $ZEC

On the surface, it's scorching hot. Stock revenue is up 95% year-over-year, event contracts surged from obscure to 156 million, crushing the crypto revenue of 100 million to the ground. But don't be fooled by the trading volume—the Q3 boom is retail investor sentiment running wild, not real money coming in. Net inflows per capita dropped in July and August; BTIG made it clear early on: activity is at its peak, but deposit quality is hollow.
Crypto is even more tangled. Q2 saw a 38% year-over-year decline for three consecutive quarters, and volume rebounded 61% in August, much like my friend who quit milk tea for three days only to stockpile a fridge full again. Chain and tokenized stocks are stories, not profits; Q3's numbers will most likely still be zero-validated.
There are really only three things to watch: whether net inflows can return to a 20% annualized rate, whether crypto revenue has stopped falling, and whether event contracts avoid being slapped down by regulators. If these three pass, a 43x PE ratio can stand; if one is missing, no matter how good the earnings look, it's just a good excuse to sell.
Money doesn't follow stories; it follows fees. Can $GOOGL beat Q3 earnings?
I'm leaning cautiously bullish heading into the October 28 report.
Google Cloud remains a major growth driver, Search continues to generate strong revenue, and AI is creating new opportunities for Alphabet to monetize its products.
But there's a catch.
With AI spending climbing, revenue growth alone may not be enough. Investors also want to see healthy margins and better returns on that investment.
$GOOGL #AlphabetQ3CloudAndAI 📌New institutional crypto buying strategy: preferred stock financing, leverage racing against cash flow
Since 2025, Bitcoin treasury companies like Strategy and Strive have raised funds through perpetual preferred stock, cumulatively purchasing nearly 136,000 BTC, accounting for over 0.5% of the total supply, with a related market size of about $12 billion. 💡The logic is "issue preferred stock—pay dividends—accumulate BTC": no maturity date, low repayment pressure, and it attracts investors seeking stable returns but hesitant to hold crypto directly.
⚠️However, the more issued, the heavier the dividend burden. Whether this model can continue depends on whether the preferred stock price remains near par value; once it falls below, new financing is hindered and forced buybacks may occur. Strategy recently spent $193 million to repurchase shares but only bought 267 $BTC in the same period, indicating buybacks and BTC accumulation are competing for cash flow. 📉
🔭In the long term, ETFs remain the largest buyers, with preferred stock acting more like a secondary supplement. The institutional crypto buying story continues, but cash flow balance is the hard constraint.The oscillation and breathing space during CT coin's recent decline is just a brief pause; the downtrend and room for further decline are far from over.
1. The two token giveaway events did not change the supply structure; instead, they continuously added selling pressure.
The previous two trading giveaways were issuance incentives, not buyback and burn. Most users sold the CT they earned from tasks immediately to cash out. The rebound caused by these events essentially provided a selling window for trapped holders and low-cost chips. The positive effect was only a short-term emotional stimulus, without reducing circulating tokens; the root of supply pressure remains. The positive effect weakens each time and cannot reverse the downward main trend.
2. The token value capture mechanism is inherently insufficient, lacking stable bottom-supporting cash flow.
CT is only a governance token; it does not share protocol revenue, has no dividends, and no mandatory buyback and burn mechanism. Protocol-generated revenue flows to the fund pool and deposit users; token holders cannot automatically receive profits.
Its value is only tied to governance voting and staking discounts. This value logic has weak appeal and makes it difficult to attract long-term capital for continuous lock-up buying. Without intrinsic value support, rebounds are baseless.
3. Tokens are concentrated in the hands of the team and early investors, with a large amount of future unlocks looming overhead.
Half of the total tokens belong to the team and early investors, with only cliff periods set for unlocking; selling pressure is merely delayed, not eliminated.
The current oscillation and rest phase provides an opportunity for large holders to reduce positions in batches. As long as the price rebounds slightly, it easily triggers phased realizations. The looming long-term dilution pressure above always exists, suppressing the height of each rebound.
4. The technical pattern is a downward continuation consolidation, with no bottom reversal signals.
During the oscillation and rest phase, volume shrinks, representing a brief pause for bears and a washout of short-term bottom-fishing retail investors. The price remains in a descending channel, under moving average bearish pressure, with no volume breakout of key resistance levels and no sustained inflow of incremental funds.
This low-volume sideways movement is not bottoming but a classic continuation pattern accumulating momentum for the next decline.
5. The sector competition is fierce, with no unique moat; the narrative is easily replaceable.
CT belongs to the DeFi yield aggregation sector, with established protocols like Yearn and Curve ahead. It lacks unique technology, privacy, or quantum-resistant differentiated narratives and suffers from severe homogenization.
Market funds are limited and prefer targets with unique stories. CT struggles to develop an independent rally, lacking highlights to continuously attract incremental capital at the sector level.
6. The overall market risk appetite is weak, and altcoins have strong beta characteristics.
BTC itself is in a sideways weak phase with increased risk of deep decline. CT is a highly volatile altcoin with no hedging properties.
If the market weakens again, CT's decline usually exceeds that of mainstream coins. The current breathing space is just a short-term stop following the market, not a fundamental strengthening.
7. Bottom-fishing funds mainly engage in short-term speculation, making it difficult to form a united bottom.
Most participants entering after each small rebound are speculative funds aiming to profit from short-term rebounds and then exit, not long-term investors.
If the rebound falls short of expectations, these funds quickly stop losses and exit, causing the support to vanish instantly and making it very fragile.
Dialectical supplement: What signals could possibly change the downtrend?
We need to see simultaneously: the official launch of long-term lock-up staking rules, protocol fee income proportionally used to buy back and burn CT, sustained stable growth in TVL, and announcements of large team token lock-ups. Before such substantial positive developments occur, the current oscillation is more of a rest on the way down.Good morning everyone, just opened my eyes and took a look at the market, and I came to one conclusion: the price hasn't moved, but the money has already left. This is the coldest divergence I've seen tonight.
The total open interest across the network shrank by 1.15% in one day, down to 139.466 billion. Contract trading volume shrank even more drastically, dropping 39.82% in one day, down to 87.708 billion. With volume shrinking like this, BTC is still hovering above 80,500, ETH oscillates around 2,350, and SOL grinds near 101, with price changes all under 0.25%.
The open interest of the three major mainstream coins is also simultaneously moving outward: BTC shrank by 1.65%, ETH by 2.63%, and SOL by 1.83%. The price hasn't collapsed, but positions are withdrawing first. This isn't a panic sell-off; it's big money pulling chips back from the table. Without strong data support on Monday, a 40% volume shrink isn't surprising; but the synchronized withdrawal of positions means it's not just Monday sluggishness.
Only ZEC is moving in the opposite direction: its open interest rose 3.80% in one day, reaching 2.43 billion, and its price jumped near 1,216. However, its liquidation amount reached 3.76 million, surpassing SOL's 3.31 million. The hotter the money chases, the more people get taken out inside; this wave isn't purely strong.
It's like people haven't left yet, but half the chairs are already empty. If BTC can't hold the 80,500 level, the next step depends on whether trading volume returns to fill the gap; with ZEC's chasing method, I won't catch the last leg.
So my trading advice for everyone is simple: don't add positions in the three major mainstream coins, don't chase ZEC at highs, reduce positions one more notch, and wait for volume to return before discussing direction.First, saw open the sternum: this price curve is not ventricular fibrillation; the real bleeding is the calcifying plaque in the flash memory inventory. SanDisk is set to release its first fiscal quarter earnings after the market closes on October 29, previously guiding revenue between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion; this is not an ordinary lab report, but an echocardiogram of the storage business’s heart — assessing pumping capacity, not the emotional waveform on the screen.
I usually look at vital signs first, then the lesion. Expansion of computing power centers raises demand preload, and the price increase of flash memory chips is like a rise in perfusion pressure, so the revenue guidance shows a pattern resembling systolic ejection during contraction. But excessive preload can also dilate the ventricle: capital expenditure for capacity expansion is myocardial hypertrophy, inventory replenishment is pericardial effusion, and the faster prices rise, the more we must be wary of a subtle increase in end-diastolic pressure. What truly determines profit gains is not the price increase itself, but whether the gross margin—the ejection fraction—improves synchronously, and whether operating cash flow—the coronary artery—is narrowed by accounts receivable and inventory plaques. The after-hours earnings report is like nighttime monitoring; the guidance range is just baseline blood pressure, and any rhythm drift must be confirmed simultaneously by three guidewires: orders, inventory turnover, and cash recovery.
The linkage of related mapped targets is more like perfusion signals between adjacent organs: on one side is the blood flow of the storage cycle, on the other is the neural reflex of risk appetite. A price crash is just a symptom; don’t rush to defibrillate. First, check if computing center orders maintain a stable rhythm, then see if flash memory pricing shows arrhythmic jumps. If the demand side only has a temporary preload deficiency, the business still has a recovery window; if the price increase is propped up by supply contraction and end-user restocking starts going offline, that is covert bleeding—the more beautiful the revenue, the harder it is to stop postoperative bleeding. If capacity expansion outpaces demand, myocardial hypertrophy will progress from compensation to decompensation; if inventory is stuck at the channel’s end, pericardial effusion will limit diastolic filling. At this point, looking only at revenue growth is like reading an ECG paper without considering myocardial perfusion.
My intraoperative judgment is cold: guidance is anesthesia induction, price increase is extracorporeal circulation, profit gain is cardiac resuscitation; once inventory plaques calcify, no matter how strong the preload from computing centers, the right heart will only be stretched into failure. #sandiskq1storagegrowth$ETH $BTC: High probability of continuing narrow-range consolidation, $80,000 is the critical line between bulls and bears
Technically, BTC is still trading within the $74,000–$80,000 range, with $80,000 as strong resistance and the current focal point of contention. On the 14th, RSI was about 43, in a neutral zone with weak momentum.
The key variable for tomorrow is whether $80,000 can hold. If it holds, there is momentum to test $81,000–$83,000; if volume breaks below $80,000, the downside targets $79,000 or even $74,000.
Neutral to slightly weak: The current price is slightly above short-term support but below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, indicating short-term technical weakness. However, the 200-day moving average (around $72,800) is still trending upward, so the medium-term trend remains intact.
ETH: Weaker than BTC, $2,300 is a key defense level, beware of cascading liquidations
$ETH is oscillating between $2,300 and $2,600, with $2,300 as key support. More dangerously, $2,181 below is the liquidation price for a giant whale's long position. On October 24, when ETH dropped to $2,282, this whale was only $30 away from liquidation and urgently added 9.21 million USDC to push the liquidation price down to $2,181.
This means a large number of highly leveraged longs are clustered below $2,300. If it dips further, cascading liquidations could amplify volatility. If ETH fails to hold $2,300 tomorrow, it may quickly drop to $2,200–$2,181; if it can hold $2,300 and rise above $2,400, it can be considered stabilized. #BTC spot ETF funds fluctuate repeatedly, can market buying stabilize? #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Market consensus expectations (FnGuide/Infomax):

On October 23rd alone, Stellar processed 14.16 million transactions on-chain, making it the busiest day of the month, averaging 163.9 transactions per second, and even spiking to 224.6 per second during the next day's session. The transaction fee has remained steady at $0.00012.
With such activity, how did the coin price react? $0.168, down 1.3% in 24 hours, still near the daily low. On OKX, the XLM contract open interest is just a bit over ten million dollars, barely a fraction.
On-chain activity and price are completely disconnected, something I've seen many times. Stellar’s chain is originally designed for transfers and RWA settlements; the surge in transaction volume is mostly channel operators and market makers running volume, which is a different matter from secondary market buying.
So don’t use 'on-chain all-time highs' as a buying reason. I learned this the hard way years ago—seeing the data surge and jumping in, but the volume was real volume, and no one was there to support the price.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $ETH
There is a detail about Ethereum that almost no one mentions: the Glamsterdam upgrade originally scheduled for today on the Hoodi testnet was quietly postponed by the foundation on October 22, and no new date has been given so far.
The reason for the delay is not a bug, but ChainSecurity discovered that EIP-8037 and 8038, two proposals that change gas settlement, might cause the gas burned by contracts to not match expectations. In the worst case, this could permanently write an error into the chain. Along with this, the plan to raise Hoodi's gas limit to 200 million has also been shelved.
Additionally, institutional statistics show a net outflow of about $1.08 billion from ETH spot ETFs in October, the largest single month this year, which is quite bearish. But if you look at the price, around 2339, it fluctuated between 2318 and 2371 in 24 hours, acting as if nothing happened.
My view: money is flowing out, upgrades are being delayed, but the price isn't dropping much, indicating that the remaining participants in the market are no longer reacting much to news. I won't participate in this sideways movement; I'll wait for it to choose a direction on its own, as I don't have the ability to make money without a clear direction.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ This week on the 27th and 28th is the FOMC meeting, and next week on the 3rd is the midterm election voting—two big days back to back, with the global market caught right in the middle.
First, looking at the FOMC meeting, a pause is highly likely, but note one detail: the probability has already dropped from 92.8%. The PMI is still strong, so even if the pause happens, the statement might not be soft.
Next, looking at the election, this is the real variable this week. Federal Reserve officials have all gone silent, but politicians won’t. In the last week before the election, everyone wants a good market performance. There will be more and more statements, leaks, and mutual sabotage.
So the news this week is destined to be conflicting—one day good news, the next day bad news. Officials can’t speak, and those who do are all thinking about votes.
My approach is simple: whenever I hear something, I first ask, what’s the agenda behind this? If it’s about votes, I discount it before listening further.
On the market side, funds are more honest than people. BTC dipped to 79,220 over the weekend, now back to 80,500; ETH is at 2,343. Everyone is waiting—waiting for the 28th and the 3rd. Without these two events landing, no big moves will come, though there will be plenty of spikes.
This week, is everyone trading based on news or based on the market?
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $BTC $ETH $SOL "Pin repair does not equal a reversal to strength; the weak pattern continues"
Last night's V-shaped rebound can easily mislead, but the market remains in a weak cycle. $BTC, although back above 80,000, faces resistance at MA7/20/30 around 82,000/82,600/83,100 forming a head-top pressure, with the bearish structure unbroken. Downward triggers include ETF net outflows of 773 million over two days, forced liquidation of 837 million leveraged longs across the market (accounting for 82.8%), Arthur Hayes publicly liquidating positions, compounded by thin weekend liquidity amplifying the sell-off. The 80,000 level looks more like a temporary bottom after panic clearing.
$ETH is technically the weakest: it dipped to 2,320, a two-month low, RSI at 31.8 entering oversold territory, but moving averages are all pressing down, with the 30-day position only at 3.5%. Over 14 trading days this month, ETFs have had continuous net outflows totaling 1.175 billion USD, lacking incremental funds, making sustained rebounds unlikely.
$ZEC rebounded from 1,119 to 1,210, superficially above MA7 but still suppressed by MA20/MA30; RSI at 41.3 is not oversold, with the 30-day position at 25%, more like a technical repair after a sharp drop. Previously, leveraged longs were heavily liquidated, with single-hour liquidations accounting for 98% of the market.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 The fundamental reasons why STRK's bottom fishing has no bottom and seems endless
1. Supply dam is the underlying main cause: a fixed 127 million low-cost chips are continuously released every month, creating constant selling pressure.
The unlocking cycle has not yet completed after several consecutive months; most unlocked chips belong to early investors and contributors with extremely low cost.
Many people think that a low price means the bottom, ignoring that: even at a lower price, these chips still have substantial profits, so the willingness to sell does not disappear.
For other coins, the sell orders come from floating profit-taking; STRK adds new sell orders monthly on a fixed schedule, equivalent to continuous liquidity injection overhead. Every small rebound from bottom fishing becomes a window for unlocked chips to be sold, and after the rebound, new lows are made, continuously breaking the psychological support levels, creating a feeling of "buy the dip once, get trapped once."
2. The core narratives supporting the coin price rise are all long-term expectations without actual realization.
The two main bullish themes for STRK: independent L1 transformation and full-chain quantum-resistant solution, are currently only plans and proposals without official mainnet launch or complete audit implementation.
Pricing of expectation-based coins relies on future premiums. Once the price weakens, the market continuously lowers the expected valuation.
Without a running L1 network and a verified quantum-resistant cryptographic system, there is no solid value underpinning. Expectations can be discounted infinitely, so there is no clear anchor for the bottom, and the predicted support levels are easily broken by sentiment and selling pressure.
3. Weak fundamental support, lack of rigid buy orders, no self-bottoming mechanism.
On-chain TVL and fee income scale are small; the protocol cannot generate stable cash flow and lacks fixed buybacks or burns.
Short-term bottom-fishing funds are mostly speculative capital betting on rebounds, entering and exiting quickly, not long-term locked funds.
During the decline, only retail investors bottom fish; there is a lack of institutional long-term capital to continuously absorb. Once the absorbing power cannot keep up with the unlocked sell orders, the price has no stable foundation, and support breaks easily.
4. The chip structure is inherently imbalanced, with layers of trapped positions above, each level having sell pressure to exit.
From the high point, it has fallen continuously, accumulating massive trapped chips along the way.
At each price level, some think it's cheap to enter bottom fishing; a slight rebound causes those trapped earlier to cut losses and exit.
On the downward path, there is not just one bottom but multiple layers of trapped zones. Subjective psychological bottoms like 0.05 or 0.03 are just human guesses, not the real market chip bottoms.
5. It is a high-beta thematic coin, falling in resonance with the overall market, making it difficult to form an independent bottom.
STRK is a narrative-driven altcoin, highly correlated with the BTC market.
As long as Bitcoin weakens and overall crypto risk appetite declines, altcoins usually fall much more sharply than BTC.
Even if short-term negative news for STRK eases temporarily, a deep market drop will drag it down further. It lacks independent hedging properties, so when the market is unstable, forming a standalone bottom is almost impossible.
6. Market consensus continues to weaken, marginal benefits diminish, and confidence dissipates.
At the beginning, news of L1 transformation and quantum resistance generated high market enthusiasm; after repeated hype, the same positive stimuli become weaker.
After repeated "good news doesn't raise price, unlocking causes drops," bullish confidence continues to collapse.
As more people give up long-term holding and only trade short-term, the market struggles to unite to defend any price level, making support extremely fragile and appearing as a bottomless pit.
7. In one sentence: under what conditions will a true bottom form?
It is not about how much the price has fallen. A true bottom requires: large unlocked chips voluntarily locked and staked, L1 + quantum-resistant mainnet launched and implemented, continuous growth in on-chain ecosystem revenue, and inflow of incremental long-term capital.
Before these substantial positive factors materialize, simply guessing the bottom based on price decline will likely keep seeing new lows.Over the past three weeks, the altcoin market has generally been weak, with Ethereum's price pulling back about 15% and its market cap shrinking by approximately $54 billion. In the derivatives market, the open interest of ETH has decreased by $1.3 billion in the past month, a drop of nearly 20%, down to $5.7 billion; the total open interest of ETH across the network has fallen to $11.5 billion. Darkfost pointed out that this round of deleveraging was driven by a combination of price declines, chain liquidations, and traders actively closing positions to reduce risk. Looking back to July this year, Ethereum also experienced a more severe contraction in open interest, followed by stabilization and a rebound with gains exceeding 32%, with the price once breaking above $2800. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC $ETH Don't rush to bottom-fish!

That needle in the early morning made people's scalps tingle, BTC dipped to 79168 then was sharply pulled back to 80880, ETH and SOL also followed a deep V pattern. Looking at this, do you feel the bottom has arrived and your hands are itching? Don't rush, check the data before deciding _(:з」∠)_
4-hour long-short ratio: BTC 2.24, ETH 2.85, SOL 3.26. Open interest hasn't decreased but increased, indicating retail investors are crazily catching the bottom and holding on desperately. With such a heavy train, why would the dog whales take you flying? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Typical bulls don't die, the downtrend doesn't stop. Leverage hasn't been cleaned out, retail investors won't admit defeat, so the main force won't pump the market. Most likely today there will be more dips to shake out, specifically to explode this group of bottom-fishers. Control your hands, don't send your neck under the guillotine (｡•́︿•̀｡)
The deep V is bait, not an invitation. Wait for leverage to clear and positions to cool down before talking about the bottom. Don't rush, staying alive means there's a next train (￣▽￣)~*

#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Nightclub girl's diary of trading crypto after getting off work
This new "Boss Ten" popping up on OKX, everyone is guessing, could he be the next "Boss V"?
Many people were confused by this chart: shorting BTC, opening position at 112,834.7, but the estimated liquidation price actually dropped to 112,820.6, which is lower than the opening price.
Normally, we understand that for a short position, losing money means the price goes up, so the liquidation price should definitely be above the opening price. This number looks like the liquidation price for a long position, so at first I didn’t get it either.
Actually, it’s not some black technology or system bug, but two most common situations:
First, hedging mode (bi-directional positions), where the same account holds both long and short BTC positions simultaneously. The estimated liquidation price is a combined result calculated for the entire account, not the liquidation price for this single short position. The software shows a merged maintenance margin estimate, so the numbers get confusing and the short position’s liquidation price appears to move downward.
Second, negative funding fees continuously eat into the margin. This short position keeps paying funding fees every 8 hours, gradually consuming the margin inside. Even if the market doesn’t rise and just moves sideways, the margin keeps decreasing, and the system dynamically recalculates the liquidation price, causing this abnormal display.
There’s another pitfall: the panel’s so-called estimated liquidation price is a dynamic reference value, not fixed. It changes in real time with the mark price, funding fees, and other position P&L. It’s not a rigid number simply calculated by opening price plus leverage.
It’s not some secret god-level technique, just a calculation illusion caused by unified accounts, bi-directional positions, and funding fees combined. Nightclub girls cashing out to trade crypto diary
The market is now playing the two-way liquidation game, so rushing to short in the short term really makes you nervous.
In the past day, the entire network liquidated 542 million, with over 80% being long positions, and more than 100,000 accounts got wiped out. BTC, ETH, SOL, ZEC, the longs trying to catch the bottom were all washed out one by one. When I looked at the data, my heart skipped a beat—luckily I didn’t heavily bet on a rebound before.
But the market quietly changed its tone. Looking at 24 hours, it’s a long squeeze; switch to 4 hours or 1 hour, and the shorts start getting beaten. Just as a batch of longs cut losses and exited, those rushing in to short got stopped out by sudden spikes.
The big trend still looks weak, but this rally is just a recovery bounce after liquidations, not a complete market reversal.
In this back-and-forth grinding phase, it’s easiest to get hit on both sides. Don’t chase shorts at the low, and don’t impulsively heavy buy the bottom.
Be patient and wait for the rebound to hit resistance before looking for suitable opportunities.

Reduce position and lock in profits on rebounds between 81500-82200. If it breaks 78600, look for 75000. Take profits on the 100x position, don't bet on direction before the Fed meeting.
$ETH $SOL #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ $SIGN is bearish. The real window to watch starts from 11-08, which is the last week before the cliff-like unlock on 11-15. It's still early now. In our backtests of unlocks of similar scale, the pressure mainly accumulates in the seven days before the unlock. The results of two sample periods are very close, with about three-quarters of events underperforming the market. After the unlock day, there is no stable direction. So the price movements in the first ten or so days of these 20 days have little reference value. The market is very cold, with trading volume and contract open interest close to zero, and only three long positions closed in 24 hours. There is no leverage involved; the upcoming price mainly depends on who moves chips first in the spot market. The highs on the chart are still rising, but this is happening in a market with very little volume. As the unlock approaches, this structure cannot withstand the supply. After 11-08, watch two things: if 0.010578 is broken, the bearish judgment is confirmed; if $SIGN holds above 0.011073 that week and outperforms the market, I will turn neutral to slightly bullish. What is the most ironic thing about this $SOL wave? The confirmation time was reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, the strongest technical upgrade in history, yet the price dropped by 20%. The whole network is still waiting for a rebound, but I opened a 100x short at 105.52, now floating with a 367% profit.
Review: On the day the upgrade was implemented, open contracts began to shrink, funding rates turned negative, and longs were repeatedly swept near the 100 level. On October 25, $SOL perpetual contracts saw $21.12 million liquidated in 24 hours, 84% of which were longs. Daily active addresses dropped to 3.74 million, and ecosystem participation is receding.
Current price is 101.64. 100 is a key support; if broken, look to 80. Take profit on rebounds above 104, hold base positions waiting for a breakout. High-leverage positions do not cling to the fight.
