📉 79,220 is not the bottom, it's a probe before the meeting
Reconciliation: Last night said breaking 80,458, touching 79,900, at 23:00 smashed to 79,220 all fulfilled, the surrender line 82,300 was not touched. People are exhausted.
Most read it as "washed out." What didn't move were rent and positions.
Fee rate settled at 08:00 is 0.00219%, the lowest in six periods, only up to 20% of the benchmark, premium is still negative. Neither longs nor shorts pay.
Positions of 3 million contracts unchanged for three days; 15m amplitude 0.1305%, cost eaten up by 77%.
Liquidations reversed: 12-hour BTC cleared 169 million, longs 88.7%; recent 4-hour shorts 98.9%.
Not building a bottom, just waiting. FOMC 10/27–28, PMI 57.6 hits a 53-month high.
IRYS down 63.8% in one day, ZEC rose 3.7% against the trend. Clear these tickets before the meeting.
The most expensive before the meeting is not the direction, but the position.
Prediction: Before 10-29 02:00, it won't go out of 79,000–81,300 (lower edge lets pass yesterday's low 79,220; upper edge = today's high 80,985×1.003). If it stands above 81,300 or breaks 79,000, consider me wrong. (Not investment advice)
Before the meeting, first shrink volume to grind, or smash one first?
$BTC #OctoberFOMC approaching, what uncertainties remain with the Fed pausing rate hikes?Historic Turning Signal: On Saturday (10-24), the fourth test at 79,700 was completed as a "false breakdown" — the low was 79,145 (breaking below 79,700 by 555 points), but then volume surged and it rebounded to close at 80,770, forming a +1,624-point long lower shadow. Delta shifted from three consecutive negative days (-3.17 billion / -830 million / -190 million) to +852 million, with post-low (after 79,145) Delta reaching as high as +1.479 billion. On Sunday (10-25), a low volume of 300 million consolidated at 80,667. The "last drop" of the six-week grinder most likely ended at 79,145, but whether it can hold above 81,000-82,000 on Monday is the key confirmation. 1. Dow Theory The false breakdown plus long lower shadow recovery indicates a qualitative change in the Dow structure: From the Dow perspective, the 79,145 low on 10-24 broke below the six-week box lower boundary (79,700), but the close at 80,770 was 1,070 points above the lower boundary — this is a classic "spring" structure: a false breakdown to flush stop-loss orders, with bulls quickly reclaiming lost ground. The Dow "lower low" sequence was negated at 79,145 (no effective close below 79,700), and the short-term structure shifted from "bearish bias" to "neutral to bullish." Dow conclusion: The false breakdown recovery = a bear trap in Dow terms. 79,700 upgraded from "support" to "strong support + spring bottom," closing firmly above 81 #SpaceX业绩大增，与特斯拉合并能否推进？
Musk: As long as there is no world war, SpaceX will break through a $100 trillion market cap within 10 years. Setting aside faith, purely based on hardcore calculations of math, physics, and macro liquidity, how long will it actually take?
Math calculation: The current combined SpaceX valuation after merging with xAI is about $2.07T, needing to multiply 48.3 times to reach $100T. To hit the target in 10 years, the compound annual growth rate must maintain an astonishing 47.4%; assuming a 25–30x PE ratio, it would require annual net profits of $3.5T+ and nearly $10T in revenue by then.
Relying only on rockets and broadband, even monopolizing global telecom, the ceiling is only $5T–$8T. To reach $100T, three steps must be completed:
0–5 years: Starlink + defense contracts support a $5T–$8T base
5–15 years: xAI + space orbital data centers, monopolizing space-based AGI computing power, pushing to $20T–$35T
15–30 years: Earth-Moon economic belt and Mars infrastructure taxpayers, creating incremental space GDP
Physical bottleneck: Vacuum does not conduct heat; space computing relies on large radiation panels for cooling and suffers cosmic ray damage. It will take 8–12 years of iteration for costs to outperform terrestrial nuclear power.
Financial pressure: Building tens of thousands of Starships and buying cards to burn money have pushed 5-year CDS to 194 basis points.
Liquidity: Unless there is epic hyperinflation of the dollar, the global capital pool 10 years from now simply cannot hold $100T.At the same time, a tale of two extremes—ZEC surged 6.62% in a single day, while IRYS plummeted 23.35%, tearing the crypto market apart in extreme divergence.
BTC ($80,858, +1.45%): Aftershocks of liquidations remain
Last night, Bitcoin briefly fell below $80,000, with over $800 million liquidated across the network in 24 hours, affecting more than 210,000 traders. Although the current price has slightly recovered, the fear and greed index is only 54, with bulls and bears still locked in a tug-of-war around the $80,000 mark.
ZEC ($1,220, +6.62%): Narrative shift drives independent rally
The key catalyst is the Winklevoss brothers submitting the S-1 filing for a ZEC spot ETF, planning to list on Nasdaq with an initial $100 million subscription intention, directly changing the privacy coin’s narrative. Coupled with a repair demand after prior overselling, ZEC has staged a counter-trend rally.
IRYS ($0.035, -23.35%): A textbook case of leverage collapse
Previously, short squeezes pushed prices up, followed by excessive accumulation of long leverage. Single-day contract trading volume soared 1,035%, with open interest reaching $1.2 billion at one point, ultimately triggering about $68.51 million in chained forced liquidations. Shallow liquidity tokens have no buffer when leverage recedes.
Summary: The market is in a fragile balance post-liquidation, with ZEC’s ETF narrative and IRYS’s leverage clearing forming a stark contrast. In a divergent market, narrative strength and leverage levels determine individual fates, rather than the overall market direction itself. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？
Conclusion: Growth can continue, but with a change in the "billing engine," the growth rate baseline will also shift downward
The trading revenue line has not weakened; its growth driver is shifting from "crypto + interest rates" to "options + stocks + event contracts." Under the baseline scenario, trading revenue in the second half of 2026 can still maintain a year-over-year growth of +10%~20%, with the 2027 growth rate baseline dropping to 10%~15%. Three key factors determine whether it is a "continuation" or a "stall": regulation of event contracts, single contract fee rates for options, and when crypto assets will recover.
A reminder of a timeline: The Q3 2026 earnings report will be disclosed after the U.S. market close on October 27. The latest complete breakdown is for Q2 2026 (ending 6/30).
Latest quarter breakdown: The growth engine has changed
Trading line Q1'26 YoY Q2'26 YoY Q2'26 Revenue Judgment
Options +8% +29% $342 million The most stable cash cow, volume 774 million contracts (+50%), revenue growth slower than volume growth
Stocks +46% +95% $129 million Trading volume $956 billion (+85%), volume and revenue grow in sync, fastest growth and highest quality
Event contracts and other trading income +320% +10x $156 million Annualized about $620 million, new category starting from zero Sunday morning, take out the deadline for $BZ and verify it.
Three criteria, go through them one by one.
First, has the geopolitical signal truly shifted? These past two days, I haven't seen anything that would make me change my judgment; no easing, no loss of control. This point indeed hasn't changed.
Second, has the price pushed further away from the opening day 107.72, and I can't find a new reason? Marked 110.94, three and two-tenths away from my opening price; account at −149.4 (−8.96%). I've looked for new reasons for two days, but simply can't find any.
Third, do a final check before Monday's opening. Today is the last day.
Two out of the three criteria don't hold up. According to the rules I wrote the day before yesterday, this position should go, not "give it one more day."
The forced liquidation price is 136.55, still twenty-five away from the mark, far from liquidation. But that's not why I'm keeping it—the problem with this position has never been whether it will liquidate, but whether the direction is right.
$DOGE +139.24 (+14.35%), marked 0.0778594, forced liquidation price 0.1084158, the farthest away, continue to ignore.
$UNI half position +79.11 (+83.92%), marked 6.8369, the reason hasn't broken, continue to hold.
A few words: the hardest part about setting a fixed deadline isn't executing it, but feeling reluctant when executing. Today I will feel reluctant, but my hand still has to move.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $IRYS big funds, really shows the benefits of having big funds. Didn’t enter when life was boiling, then entered when the team abandoned the position, holding until now. Meanwhile, you and my friends, many lost in longs and shorts, almost liquidated. Although he said there were losses not disclosed, this trade made a profit. It shows that big funds wouldn’t go all-in just for a single coin.
Then, I earned $8,000 on this coin with Ao Ying. For a whale, it’s a drop in the bucket, not even enough for the 10,000 U red envelope he sent the day before yesterday. That red envelope should have been just one normal one, about 2,000 U, which I also grabbed. The rest all had issues, and it seems the OKEx platform refunded him, saying they would compensate again, but who knows if that’s true @allincrypto熬鹰资本 I just finished eating and checked the market, getting caught up by a set of twisted numbers: BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of 138 million on October 23, with 7,562 coins withdrawn the day before; meanwhile, on the same day, ETH spot ETF had a net inflow of 4.4 million, after an outflow of 111 million the previous day, flipping completely in one day 🔄.
Money isn’t running away; it’s just changing seats. BTC pulls back first, ETH probes first, and divergence is more worth watching than moving up or down together.
The three major assets are each moving independently on the market. BTC hovers around 80,755, basically unchanged, with holdings up 1.08%, topping 54 billion; ETH grinds around 2,356, down 0.79%, holdings shrink 1.26%, remaining at 30.3 billion; SOL hovers around 102, down 0.15%, holdings at 6.2 billion, shrinking 0.23%.
The liquidation chart is even more surreal. BTC’s current price is pressed by the brightest liquidation bands above and below—above between 81,000 and 82,000, below around 79,000. The price is squeezed between these two high-pressure lines ⚡; whichever side breaks first will trigger a chain of orders.
On the options side, open interest surged more than fivefold in one day, reaching 45.3 billion. Money isn’t leaving the game; it’s just switching tables to play 🎲.
My stance is very clear:
First, ETF divergence isn’t over; don’t mistake BTC capital withdrawal for a market-wide exit;
Second, with price squeezed between liquidation bands, chasing gains or losses is just crashing into high-pressure lines;
Third, the explosive rise in options positions shows someone is betting on volatility, but betting doesn’t equal direction. I’ll watch first and follow once one side breaks.4 hours vaporized $404 million in long positions, Bitcoin only dropped 1.9%.
Bottomed at $79,280, $208 million vaporized in 15 minutes - not a big drop, but excessive leverage stacking.
Self-check 3 things: leverage not exceeding daily volatility tolerance; maintaining sufficient margin; separate calculation for spot and futures contracts.
Choose a side: is the main cause excessive leverage deserving the outcome, or intentional price dumping to harvest? $BTC #BTCETFFlowSwings Woke up to find an ETH whale just $30 away from liquidation, urgently topping up 9.21 million USDC at dawn
Last night ETH hit a low of 2,282, and a whale holding nearly $400 million in long positions was only $30 away from the liquidation line. They urgently added margin at dawn, pushing the liquidation price down from 2,256 to 2,181. Some are defending the line with real money, while others are quietly retreating.
$BTC lost and regained 80,000, ETF inflows wiped out by 70% in two days
Intraday low was 79,146, with $820 million liquidated in 24 hours, longs accounting for 93.1%. ETF net outflow over two days was 774 million, giving back more than 70% of the inflows from the previous three days. If 80,000 can’t hold, the next support is at 77,800.
$ETH 2,181 is the whale’s bottom line
Around 2,344, down 2.28% intraday. October ETF net outflow was about 1 billion, but BitMine has hoarded nearly 5% of total supply, with staking volume hitting a record high. ETFs are selling, whales are locking and holding.
$SOL didn’t break 100, but buyers are absent
Around 102, ETF net outflow of 30.3 million over five trading days, with no net inflow in seven products on the 22nd and five with zero liquidity. No panic selling, no buying support.
Summary: BTC ETFs are withdrawing, ETH is surviving on whale margin, SOL doesn’t even have buyers present. Who’s defending, who’s retreating, and who’s absent is the key.
Do you think BTC can reclaim 80,000 today, or will it first drop to 77,800? #AI demand supports the storage market, chip stocks fluctuate Microsoft will release its earnings report after the market closes on Wednesday. Azure's growth rate of 45% is just the passing line; I won't get in before the earnings.
The company's guidance for this quarter: revenue between $89.85 billion and $90.95 billion, Azure growth at a constant currency rate of 44% to 45%, and capital expenditures exceeding $50 billion.
Last quarter, capital expenditures were about $41 billion, and a year ago only $34.9 billion; the spending is accelerating.
In January this year, Azure grew 38%, clearly exceeding guidance, yet the stock price still dropped 10%.
The contract is now at 524.5, pressed below the daily MA20 around 532, with MA50 supporting near 515.
It surged above 550 in mid-month, and on Thursday the low touched 516.
I think this time everyone is focusing not on how much profit is made, but on how much Azure revenue is generated from that $50 billion.
As long as growth sticks at 45% and profit margins drop a bit more, the stock price that rose for a quarter can easily give back gains first.
I'll wait for the earnings to land before deciding; only after reclaiming 532 will I consider following.
If it falls below the 515 line, I'll treat it as the market not buying in and keep waiting.
That Wednesday night, are you more concerned about Azure's growth rate or the capital expenditure figures?
$MSFT #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ I will first verify several key price and capacity metrics, then perform calculations based on optimistic assumptions, and finally output scenario charts for review.
In short
Under optimistic scenarios, HBM4 can bring annual gross profit increments in the hundreds of billions of dollars by 2027 to the three leading memory companies (SK Hynix +$23.3 billion, Samsung +$17 billion, Micron +$12.4 billion), but this requires all four conditions of "yield, price, share, and depreciation" to be met simultaneously; if any one condition is not met, the increment will shrink significantly.
Four prerequisites for the optimistic scenario (must all be met)
Condition 2026 Status Optimistic Scenario Assumption
HBM4 Yield 60%–70% ramping up ≥85%, reaching a critical level above 80%
HBM4 Unit Price (36GB/12H) About $550, HBM3E about $350 Mixed ASP about $700, maintaining price increases without customers pushing for fewer layers
HBM4 Share of HBM Revenue About 20% 60%, and 12Hi not largely replaced by 8Hi
Capital Expenditure and Depreciation Continuous high-intensity investment Stable expansion pace, no overlap of depreciation and R&D expenses caused by new product iterations This viewpoint captures the most critical structural change in the current market: the correlation between BTC and gold indeed rose to a high since 2020 in September 2026, with the 90-day rolling correlation coefficient reaching 0.59 or even higher at times, while the correlation with the Nasdaq and the dollar clearly declined. Behind this is the repricing dominated again by concerns over macro debt, fiscal deficits, and currency depreciation, with institutions beginning to include BTC in the "hard asset" basket.
However, the conclusion that BTC is "tied to gold and has elasticity far exceeding gold" requires more caution. First, BTC currently wears two hats simultaneously: a correlation coefficient of about +0.51 with gold, about +0.42 with the Nasdaq, and about -0.36 with the dollar index. This triple coexistence itself indicates the market has not completed the identity switch. Second, when US Treasury real yields continue to rise, BTC will still be suppressed like a high-beta risk asset, as the pullback in late September has already verified. Third, gold is a low-volatility defensive asset, while BTC is a leveraged elastic hard asset narrative; an increased correlation does not mean BTC has stably replaced gold.
So a more accurate statement is: BTC is gaining "gold-like" pricing weight but has not yet completely shed its risk asset attributes. What to watch next is not the single-day gains, but whether ETF fund flows continue to be net inflows, whether BTC can hold above $81,000, and whether the dollar and US Treasury yields truly decline after the October 28 FOMC. Spot base positions can be retained, but do not take the rising correlation as a risk-free endorsement.
$BTC $ETH The Central Cyberspace Affairs Commission recently issued the "National Informatization 15th Five-Year Plan," which clarifies the main goals for China's informatization development by 2030. The plan proposes that by 2030, the national blockchain network will be basically completed, the new generation communication network will be fully built, and the commercial launch of 6G will be initiated in due course. In addition, the plan emphasizes the deep integration of digital technology with the real economy, the prosperous development of the cyber information industry ecosystem, and the advancement of the digital, networked, and intelligent application levels in the economy and society to a new stage. Blockchain as National Infrastructure Incorporating the national blockchain network into the core content of the informatization plan marks a further elevation of China's strategic positioning on blockchain technology. Unlike the Western emphasis on decentralized public chains, China focuses more on consortium chains and permissioned chains, with the state leading the standard-setting. The plan regards blockchain as the infrastructure for data sharing, supply chain management, and government services, aiming to build a trust foundation for the digital economy. This top-down model is expected to accelerate application implementation in areas such as cross-border trade, logistics, and identity authentication. However, it also raises issues regarding interoperability with global public chains and the role of cryptocurrencies. It is noteworthy that the plan does not mention digital assets or tokens, further confirming China's stance on separating blockchain technology from cryptocurrency speculation. Impact on Cryptocurrency and RWA Fields Although the plan has limited direct impact on the global crypto market, its indirect influence should not be overlooked. The national blockchain network may promote China's participation in international trade finance and the digital renminbi (e-CNY), and may potentially advance through technological standards...The framework of this review is solid, but there are still several key details that need to be added.
At the macro level, the consensus that there will be no action in October is basically established, with a probability of about 90.6%, but the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in December remains around 67.5%, so the pause is indeed just an observation window. What truly determines the subsequent resilience is the post-meeting statements by Powell on inflation and interest rate paths, as well as whether US Treasury yields can genuinely decline.
Regarding order book support, the judgment that orders can be withdrawn at any time is completely correct. More importantly, the swings in ETF fund flows: on October 21, BTC ETFs saw a single-day inflow of over $500 million, but on the 22nd, there was an outflow of $636 million, indicating that institutions were repeatedly adjusting positions before the rate decision rather than unilaterally exiting.
For ETH, the cumulative ETF outflow in October has exceeded $1 billion, concentrated in a single fund, ETHA. Caution is needed regarding old whales transferring to Kraken, but it depends on whether there is sustained volume and transaction activity. On XRPL, sgBENJI has increased to nearly $200 million in scale, essentially representing an expansion of tokenized settlement channels, which does not equate to a direct purchase of XRP.
The overall judgment stands: the macro environment is not settled, funds are not unified, and sentiment is probing first. Positioning before and after the decision is more important than direction.
$BTC $ETH $BTC broke below 80,000 three times: it's not that the negative news is fully priced in, but that leverage is "changing medication." BTC fell to 79,277 USD on October 23, dropping about 2.67% for the day, triggering over 800 million USD in liquidations in the crypto market within 24 hours, affecting more than 190,000 traders; on the same day, the Nasdaq also dropped about 2.6%, and the 7-day correlation coefficient between BTC and the S&P 500 rose to 0.83.
This indicates that the essence of this round of decline is a contraction in cross-asset risk appetite, rather than an isolated event in the crypto space.
It is worth noting that the current trading volume is about 21% lower than the 30-day average, and the 10-period and 20-period EMAs (approximately 82,061 and 82,393 USD respectively) are above the price, creating resistance, while the 50/100/200-period EMAs (approximately 80,568 / 77,149 / 75,983 USD) still show a bullish alignment.
This combination of "weakness in short-term cycles but no break in long-term cycles" is more akin to technical probing and leverage reduction in a low liquidity environment, rather than a volume-driven sell-off.
After breaking below and then recovering three times, it shows that the buying power at the 80,000 level has regenerative ability, but it also means that the leveraged longs here have been repeatedly cleaned out—each time the defense line is tested, its strength is diminished.
$ETH $SOL #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ $ZEC
1216, today among the mainstream coins only ZEC is really rising.
BTC is sideways, ETH dropped by one point, SOL is flat at 102, ZEC's lowest at dawn was 1119, now 1219, up more than three points in 24 hours. Checked Binance at 1216.3, matches OKX.
The fee rate is negative, 0.065%, shorts are still paying, open interest remains at $125 million without shrinking. Price going up, fee rate going down, the last time I saw this combo was the night before a short squeeze, but maybe I'm overthinking it.
Last week when ZCSH broke 1 billion, the price was falling, today it's exactly the opposite. November 5th NU7 is still ten days away, I haven't added any shares, so I’m not envious of the rise.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ The most commendable point of this review is treating "order book, whales, institutions" as three different signals, rather than mixing them together as bullish evidence. On the eve of the FOMC, the market's biggest fear is interpreting local phenomena as directional confirmation.
At the macro level, it is highly likely that there will be no change in October, but the expectation of a rate hike in December remains. The post-meeting statements are more critical than the decision itself. Order book pending orders can only be considered as buffers, not real support; caution is needed when ETH old addresses transfer to Kraken, but it depends on whether the transactions continue and whether ETF fund flows continue to deteriorate. Franklin Templeton increasing sgBENJI shares on XRPL should be understood more as an expansion of tokenized infrastructure and settlement channels, not a direct purchase of XRP.
Overall judgment stands: currently, the macro is not finalized, funds are not unified, and sentiment is still probing. In operation, do not mistake a 4-hour rebound for a reversal, nor a single on-chain transfer as confirmation of a dump. Positioning before and after the decision is more important than direction. The above is for market communication only and does not constitute investment advice.
$BTC $ETH Strategy The unrealized gains in this financial report basically come from the price increase of the coin itself. The Strategy financial report is about to be released, and everyone outside is calculating how much the BTC book profit has rebounded. Let's do a quick calculation: holding about 640,000 coins, with an average cost of around $46,000, every $10,000 move in the coin price results in a $6.4 billion change in unrealized gains. $BTC bounced back from 83,000 at the beginning of October to around 90,000, adding nearly $4.5 billion in unrealized gains just in this segment.
So the headline "significant rebound" sounds weighty, but in reality, it is just the arithmetic result of the coin price multiplied by the holdings, which has little to do with what this company has done during this period.
What really matters is another number: what it uses to continue buying. The funds for purchasing coins come from ATM issuance and convertible bonds. The market gives a premium on the stock price relative to the net value of holdings. Once the premium narrows, the money raised from issuance can buy only a few coins. The remaining quota in the financial report and whether this unrealized gain corresponds to available funds are more useful than the total number on the books.
Calculating unrealized gains at a price of 90,000 puts it at the scale of $28 billion, but this number does not generate a penny in cash, nor will anyone buy more coins just because it looks good. The conditions are here: only if it holds steady at 90,000 and the issuance quota disclosed in the financial report still has room, does this premium logic stay alive; if it falls below 83,000, this financial report is just a pretty number on the books.
#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 Brothers, the liquidation data of ETH has trapped a lot of people!
Let's first look at the 24-hour dimension: the total short liquidations across the network are close to 200 million, while long liquidations are just over 80 million.
At first glance, doesn't it seem like the shorts were completely wiped out and the longs won big?
But! If we shift the perspective to the last hour, the total liquidations across the network are over 50 million, and 98% of that is longs!
This market move smoothly played out by first killing the shorts, then immediately killing the longs.
The long-term aggregated data directly hides the current round of slaughter.
It's quite frustrating to say, but I happened to be one of those precisely liquidated within this hour.
Data itself doesn't lie; the key is which time frame you choose to look at. If you choose wrong, what you see is not the market, just an illusion #Market Pricing: Only a 10% Chance of Fed Rate Hike Next Week 🚨 The probability of a Fed rate hike next week has dropped to 10%! Is the crypto market about to rebound? I actually think it's more dangerous now!
From October 27 to 28, the Fed will hold a new round of policy meetings, and market expectations have clearly shifted.
The latest interest rate futures data shows:
About a 90% chance of keeping rates unchanged in October, and only a 10% chance of a 25 basis point hike.
This looks like great news since no rate hike means the market won't have to endure a new round of monetary tightening for now.
But I believe the real risk is not October, but December!
Currently, the market still expects a high chance of a rate hike in December, with over a 70% probability of at least one hike.
This indicates Wall Street does not think the rate hike cycle is over; it has just pushed the next hike further out.
What's more troublesome is that inflationary pressure in the U.S. remains, energy prices stay high, and the Fed has no sufficient reason to quickly pivot to easing.
For the crypto market, a short-term pause in rate hikes can indeed ease market sentiment, but it doesn't mean liquidity will immediately improve.
Especially for altcoins driven by funds without real support, they can easily surge on good news only to trap those chasing the rally.
My judgment is clear: no rate hike in October does not mean the bull market has started; I remain bearish on high-risk altcoins in the short term! 📉
Don't mistake a temporary pause in tightening for a real start of easing!
👇 Click the link below to go directly! $BTC $ETH $OKB OKB Even with such a situation, there's still a large group of bulls going long. Since they're opposing the big players, they're just waiting to be swept away in a wave! Just look at the market trend and the long-short ratio 😏
The retail investors' long-short ratio has surged to 2.9, while the big players' position long-short ratio is only 0.95.
Retail investors are still frantically bottom-fishing and going long, but the big players have quietly started short positions.
Around 110.46, there are a bunch of large sell orders firmly pressing down, making the K-line move like it's constipated; every time it tries to rise, it gets smashed down.
This kind of market, where retail investors are extremely crowded and big players are secretly setting shorts, is purely using retail investors as a liquidity reservoir, ready to plunge down at any moment to liquidate the longs. Wanting to get rich with leveraged contracts isn't that simple; be prepared to be wiped out. This review separates the three types of signals: "order book, whales, institutions." The direction is correct, but each signal needs to reduce noise one more level.
First, look at the macro. The October FOMC is very likely to keep interest rates unchanged, with the market pricing the probability of no change at about 90.6%, and the probability of a 25 basis point hike in December still around 67%. So currently, it is not a "confirmed easing," but a "pause and observe." For the crypto space, what truly affects subsequent elasticity is not just the decision itself, but the post-meeting statements on inflation, employment, and the December path.
Next, look at the order book. BTC has buy orders around $81,000, but these orders can be withdrawn at any time and cannot be directly equated with real buying pressure. More importantly, if the price dips, the stop-loss and liquidation pressure below will be amplified, so order book support can only be considered a short-term buffer, not evidence of a trend reversal.
ETH whale transfers do require caution, but "transferring into Kraken" does not mean it has already been sold. Early addresses cashing out in batches, foundation wallet rebalancing, and ETF fund flow changes may all coexist. To judge whether selling pressure is real, one must observe whether deposits continue, whether trading volume increases, and whether ETH spot and ETF fund flows continue to deteriorate.
As for Franklin Templeton increasing sgBENJI shares on XRPL, this is more an infrastructure move for tokenized money market funds and does not equate to directly buying XRP. Its significance lies in the RWA ecosystem and institutional settlement channels and should not be simply interpreted as an XRP price catalyst.
$BTC $ETH $SOL Weekend is quiet, $BTC quietly breaks below 80,000! 200,000 people liquidated, ETF lost 600 million in a single day
Family, no big news over the weekend, but the market moved first—BTC smashed through the 80,000 mark overnight, hitting a low of 79,146, down just over 2% in 24 hours. The worst hit were leveraged longs; BTC longs alone liquidated over 200 million USD, with total network liquidations piling up to 670 million, nearly 200,000 people hurt. $ETH
Honestly, weekend trading volume is thin, so even a little selling pressure can trigger a big bearish candle. Leveraged longs got liquidated like dominoes, the more it fell, the more liquidations happened, and the more liquidations, the more it fell—stepping on themselves.
Looking at the capital flow, it's even colder: on Thursday, spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 635 million USD, the largest single-day withdrawal since June 25. BlackRock's IBIT alone had 250 million withdrawn. Institutions are pulling out, retail leverage is still holding on hard, but no one is stepping in to catch the fall.
Adding to the gloom: US withdrawing personnel from the Middle East, Iran reportedly simulating attacks, risk-off sentiment rising, but BTC this time didn’t act as a safe haven, instead getting hammered along with risk assets.
To be frank, once the psychological 80,000 level breaks, technical stop-loss orders will follow. The FOMC decision next week hasn’t happened yet, so there’s no reason for funds to bottom buy at this level. Most of the longs liquidated over the weekend were probably old holders who bought halfway up the mountain. If you’re not leveraged, don’t move yet; wait to see if 80,000 can hold before making a move. A brief analysis of BTC short-term trends (strategy suggestions) from Dow Theory, Chan Theory, Wave Theory, volume-price relationship, order flow, and price action
Comprehensive judgment
Dow Theory confirms 79,145 false breakdown = bear trap
Chan Theory bottom fractal confirmed + new central pivot reconstruction, 79,700-80,300 is a secondary buying point
Wave Theory Y' wave likely ended, starting a new impulse wave
Volume-price relationship shows three consecutive declining bearish candles + Delta turning positive = selling pressure exhausted
Order flow 1.479 billion post-low Delta = main force aggressively accumulating
Price action spring bottom + long lower shadow + minimal volume accumulation = eve of reversal.
Six-dimensional comprehensive analysis: 79,145 is very likely the ultimate bottom of the six-week grinder, currently at the starting area of a new market cycle. However, the Sunday 300 million minimal volume cannot confirm direction; Monday (10-26) US session's movement will determine the direction for the next three months
$BTC #星球日报 Brothers, many people are asking me, can ETH still return to 2400?
Can it touch 2500, or even surge to 2600?
When you ask like this, it leaves Xunge silent.
How should I answer?
Of course, like everyone else, I also hope it can rally so we can all profit together.
But let's look at the data in front of us—does reality really allow it to surge?
The contract data is here: longs account for as high as 72.25%, shorts only 27.75%, with a long-short ratio directly at 2.60.
That means out of ten retail investors, seven and a half are desperately bottom-fishing and going long.
The crypto market is a zero-sum game; with so many crowded on the long side, this vehicle is too heavy to pull up.
Put yourself in the shoes of a big capital main force: with a bunch of long retail investors waiting for you to lift the price, would you spend money to force it up to help them get out of their positions?
Without a brutal round of chip cleansing to wash out the longs who can't hold on, a true bottom is hard to appear.
Looking at the chart, current price is 2368, with moving averages pressing down hard, MACD dead cross below zero line, longs have almost no resistance power.
The intraday low has already hit 2350; this is definitely not the bottom, at best just a rest halfway up the mountain.
Stop fantasizing about 2600; once the 2400 level is completely broken, the next stop is the previous low at 2315. Once that breaks, a waterfall of chained liquidations will come.
Brothers, recognize the market situation: those who follow the trend prosper, those who go against it perish. 💻 I want to break down this one by code review: Pump.fun announced that the app now supports purchasing Monad tokens, allowing users to pay directly with their $USDC balance without manually cross-chain or switching wallets. The input is the balance, the output is the token, with fewer steps in between.
My judgment: This is a positive improvement on the interaction layer, having a greater impact on users unfamiliar with cross-chain, but it cannot yet be directly equated with stronger demand in the Monad ecosystem. A better button doesn’t mean the assets behind the button are more worth buying; these two demands need to be evaluated separately.
Logically, reducing one wallet switch and one cross-chain operation means fewer chances for errors or mid-process abandonment. If users who originally found the process cumbersome are now willing to try, the conversion rate at the purchase entry might improve. This is my speculation and still needs to be verified by actual usage.
A potential bug is: hiding the process doesn’t mean costs and risks disappear. The material doesn’t explain fees, quotes, or failure handling. If I were to revise it, I would put the final received amount, all fees, and how funds are handled after a transaction failure on the confirmation page, so the simplification of operations doesn’t lead to information loss.
I would first approve this as an "experience optimization" and keep "demand growth" pending verification. Please help review: for this kind of one-click purchase, would you want to see the total fees and received amount first, or the destination of funds after failure? Did I miss any critical bugs in my judgment?This is a trend driven by fear. Long leveraged buy positions have been wiped out, and the recovery from the $79,240 level saw no new buying from ETFs after capital outflows of $635 million on 10/22 and $137.9 million on 10/23. The price recovered amid a lot of bad news being released, with sellers running out of reasons. The CME FedWatch tool shows about a 90% chance the Fed will keep policy unchanged next week; macro shocks have already been priced in.$BTC #BitcoinETFExpansion #Spot gold breaks below $4000
Spot gold fell below $4000/oz from October 23 to 25, mainly due to a reversal in interest rate expectations combined with liquidity squeezes, rather than a simple disappearance of safe-haven demand.
Market: Closed at $3995.63/oz on October 23, with an intraday low of $3975.49; down over 28% from the year's high of $5598.75, dropping more than 4% this week, marking the worst weekly performance since early June.
Logic: Middle East tensions pushed oil prices up → inflation pressure rose → market expectations shifted from rate cuts to hikes, putting pressure on the non-yielding asset gold; meanwhile, stock market declines triggered margin calls, leading investors to sell gold for cash.
HSBC said: "Gold is an insurance policy, and this insurance policy is being cashed in."
Chain reaction: "Bottom-fishing" crowds appeared in Shenzhen Shuibei, domestic pure gold jewelry prices fell back to around 1200 yuan/gram; the "fixed income + gold" wealth management yield enhancement logic failed, with some products annualizing only 1.23%, and supply noticeably shrinking.
Outlook: $4000 is the dividing line between bulls and bears.
UBS sees it as a buying opportunity, targeting $4600–$5400; cautious views hold that before war eases or the Fed clearly shifts, gold prices lack sustained upward momentum.
This is an asset repricing triggered by interest rate reversals and amplified by liquidity pressure. Whether it can stabilize in the short term depends on inflation data and Fed signals. @OKX中文 @OKX星球 $BTC Evaluation of Core Overseas community evaluation of Core (Core DAO) ✅ Bullish side (supporters) 1.

Before the earnings report, avoid heavy bets on direction: Citigroup's better-than-expected 8% forecast has already been partially priced in; if the actual results only "meet consensus," short-term funds that positioned earlier may take profits.
• Watch two anchors: ① Q4 DRAM/NAND contract price guidance (JPMorgan expects a further 10-15% and 15-20% quarter-on-quarter increase); ② Whether HBM4's share in Nvidia's next-generation platform is being eroded by Samsung.
• If there is a sharp drop after the earnings report: For funds optimistic about the long-term logic of AI storage, a PE of more than 2 times combined with the judgment of continued supply tightness before 2028 means the pullback actually offers a higher-odds entry window, provided stop-losses are set and positions are not held stubbornly.

#SK海力士 #HBM4 #财报前瞻 #存储芯片 #AI算力 #SKHY #交易策略I don't touch high leverage, and even when I see large holders transferring coins, I don't rush to change my mind. I hold and don't move anyway, but the news still needs to be analyzed separately; on-chain actions can't be directly taken as market signals.
According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, Arthur Hayes transferred another 14 million $ENA to Cumberland, about 2.73 million USD. Since yesterday, he has transferred about 28.81 million USD worth of various tokens to different trading platforms and has gradually withdrawn 14.15 million USD in USDC.
My judgment is: this is somewhat bearish for short-term sentiment, but for long-term value, it currently looks more like noise and not yet a signal of fundamental deterioration. Transferring tokens to a platform doesn't mean they've been sold, and withdrawing USDC doesn't directly prove these tokens have been traded; the use of funds can't be guessed.
Large transfers can easily make holders worry about potential selling pressure, which affects sentiment; however, this news doesn't involve changes in project usage, revenue, or token mechanisms, so it's not enough evidence to negate the long-term logic. If similar actions continue to appear, I will pay more attention, but this is just my observation.
Taking it slow is fine, but leverage might make people unable to wait for their judgments to be realized. For friends holding long-term: does this transfer change your long-term view of ENA, or will you wait for new fundamental information about the project? The core value of this bearish judgment lies in the time dimension layering: a 4-hour net inflow can only be considered short-covering and low-level rebound grabbing; if the 24-hour and 30-day capital flows have not reversed, the rebound cannot be regarded as a trend reversal. This framework is correct, especially before the October 28 FOMC, when capital tends to be defensive before the event rather than trend-driven accumulation.
However, two points need to be added. First, ETF capital flows in recent days have not been unidirectional outflows but rather oscillations: on October 19 and 21, BTC ETFs saw significant inflows, but on the 22nd, there was about $636 million in single-day outflows; ETH and SOL also faced pressure simultaneously. So, "mid-term outflows" hold true, but "short-term cover" may just be institutions adjusting positions before the meeting, not necessarily indicating a new round of buying.
Second, ETH and SOL are indeed weaker; ETH spot and futures capital flows continue to be under pressure, and SOL ETFs have recently shown obvious outflows. But for assets like ZEC, one cannot only look at futures inflows; its strength is more like leverage squeezes and localized capital games. The 30-day futures still show significant outflows, indicating that mid-to-long-term capital has not truly returned.
In conclusion, the bearish view can be maintained, but don’t turn "bearish" into "mindless shorting." The most likely spikes occur around the FOMC; the real confirmation signals are not 4-hour rebounds but continuous multi-day net inflows in ETFs, simultaneous rises in open interest in futures, and mainstream coins regaining key levels. Before the decision is released, position control is more important than directional judgment. The above is for market communication only and does not constitute investment advice.
$BTC #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
On October 24, analyst Ali Martinez warned: With the U.S. midterm elections approaching on November 3, BTC may face new volatility. In the past four election years (2010/2014/2018/2022), $BTC has seen significant pullbacks (declines of 27%-72%), and the last three Q4 periods all had negative returns. He is closely watching $73,000 (the short-term holder cost base).
Short-term selling pressure combined with macro events increases risk.
In the mid-term view, around $73,000 is the ultimate defense level. History does not simply repeat, but under liquidity and election disturbances, controlling positions and patience are needed for potential market shifts!
$ETH $SOL Many people ask: Is saving up 5 BTC enough to retire?
The math is actually simple:
At $80k each, 5 coins are just under 3 million RMB. Following the 4% rule, you get 120,000 RMB per year, enough to live as a digital nomad in Dali or Chiang Mai; but to withstand inflation, raise kids, and prepare for old age in a first-tier city, it's far from enough. You’d at least need BTC to stabilize between $150k-$300k.
But whether you can retire on 5 coins is never really an "arithmetic problem," it’s a "human nature problem":
1. Scarcity is on your side: Globally, very few can hold a full coin, and 5 coins definitely make you a top player.
2. Volatility is the biggest test: If 100% of your assets are in crypto, a black swan event causing a 50% crash, combined with urgent family expenses, could force you to sell at a loss and plunge back into poverty.
The real "5 BTC retirement plan" isn’t to go all-in and sell everything at once, but rather: gradually cash out 1-2 coins at market highs to buy U.S. Treasuries, high-dividend stocks, or pay off your home as a "ballast"; keep the remaining 3 coins as a family heirloom, only selling 0.1-0.2 coins per year to cover living expenses.
Having coins in hand, plus cash flow and health insurance outside the market, is true freedom. How many $BTC do you think you need to save before you dare to fully relax?Order Book Strength Ranking

$LIGHT selling cost at two levels decreased simultaneously. Simulated sell slippage: 10,000 from 0.29% down to 0.24%, 100,000 from 2.47% down to 1.78%. Depth improved, increasing feasibility for large orders.
$AXIS cost differences mainly appear in large buy orders. Simulated 10,000 scale buy/sell slippage 0.39%/0.34%, 100,000 at 2.17%/1.30%. Order book asymmetry only describes transaction costs; do not infer directional bias from it.
$IRYS small order costs on both sides are close; large buys are more expensive. Simulated 10,000 scale buy/sell slippage 0.14%/0.15%, 100,000 at 1.44%/0.83%. When costs worsen, reduce volume or split orders first, rather than changing directional views. How much wordplay is hidden in the "deflationary promise" in the code?
When evaluating tokens, don't just look at the "buyback promise" in the whitepaper; rule iterations and real revenue are the core.
Look at these three popular tokens:
$PENDLE has the most transparent rules, clearly specifying that 80% of revenue is used for mandatory buybacks. However, objective data shows that due to the overall cooling of yields on underlying interest-bearing assets, its actual protocol fee revenue has significantly declined from its peak. The mechanism remains effective, but with a shrinking revenue base, the absolute buying power of buybacks is also limited.
$DYDX demonstrates how mechanism iterations reshape value. Early designs promised up to 75% of net revenue for buybacks. But with subsequent governance parameter adjustments, the actual buyback budget has been reduced. Due to fierce competition in the derivatives sector, shrinking revenue scale challenges the current support strength.
$ARB reflects another typical asset structure. As a leading L2, the real fees generated by its ecosystem transactions mainly accumulate in the DAO treasury. At the token level, there is currently no direct cash flow empowerment mechanism. For a long time in the future, it still needs to absorb early institutional and team unlock shares.
Core conclusion:
PENDLE is a "good mechanism lacking fuel," DYDX is a "good rule weakened and losing market," and ARB is "purely narrative-driven with no empowerment."
Investment research advice: see through the publicity, verify actual contract parameter changes, and exclude subsidies to find the real net revenue. The rise in Bitcoin's market dominance does not always signal the start of a bull market. A counterintuitive phenomenon is that even if Bitcoin's own price is falling, its dominance can still climb.
The logic behind this is that the dominance figure reflects Bitcoin's market capitalization as a proportion of the total crypto market capitalization. When the market panics, funds often withdraw from higher-risk altcoins and flow back into Bitcoin, which is seen as a "safe haven." If altcoins' values decline faster than Bitcoin's, then even if Bitcoin's price is also dropping, its share of the overall market will still increase. This is not a sign of Bitcoin's strength but rather the collapse of altcoins.
Therefore, looking at the dominance metric in isolation can easily lead to incorrect conclusions. A high dominance number sometimes is not proof of a healthy market but rather a signal of liquidity drying up and risk appetite sharply declining across the market. It needs to be evaluated in conjunction with price trends, market breadth, and institutional capital flows. Only when Bitcoin's price rises alongside altcoins stabilizing or rotating upward does this increase in dominance truly carry positive significance. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $ETH breaks below 2350: Whale tops up margin to hold 2181, but ETF withdraws $1.08 billion
Ethereum fell 2.28% yesterday, currently at $2344, hitting a low of 2282 during the session. The most dramatic moment happened late at night: a whale holding nearly $400 million in long positions was only $30 away from liquidation price. At midnight, an emergency margin top-up of 9.21 million USDC pushed the ETH long liquidation price from 2256 down to 2181, barely saving the position. This ETH long position itself consists of 115,473 coins, worth about $272 million.
But the whales are not united in defense. On-chain, 133 whales collectively increased their holdings by over 426,000 ETH; three addresses withdrew a total of 24,454 ETH from exchanges, valued at $60.68 million, some of which went directly into staking and Aave. Within 12 hours, the net outflow from exchanges was about $30 million. While topping up margin to defend, they are also moving chips off exchanges, showing internal division among the whales.
The real pressure on ETH comes from ETFs. In October, spot Ethereum ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.08 billion, marking the largest monthly outflow this year. The $832 million inflow in September was almost completely reversed. Technically, the RSI is only 37.9, indicating weakness; 2,313 is a key support level, and if broken, leveraged longs worth over $670 million will face forced liquidation risk.
The 2,300–2,313 range is the short-term lifeline. If held, the whales’ accumulation makes sense; if not, the temporarily shifted liquidation price at 2181 will once again become the target.Your review thinking here is correct: volume contraction without position reduction is indeed a typical 'waiting for the other shoe to drop' state. But there are two points that need to be added.
First, volume contraction does not equal safety; it just postpones volatility. The market is currently stuck before the Fed's October 28 decision. The shrinking volume is more about confidence being drained—everyone is waiting for an answer, not that the main players are quietly accumulating. Some institutions have warned that a low-volatility, deleveraged, and flat capital flow market can quickly and sharply move in one direction once disrupted by the Fed or earnings reports, often crushing leveraged positions on the wrong side.
Second, with 80% of liquidations being long positions, it shows it's not that no one is holding, but that some are repeatedly bottom-fishing and getting stopped out. The mid-October wave was caused by CPI exceeding expectations combined with a break below the 50-day moving average, triggering programmatic selling. The liquidations were mostly short-term leveraged positions; long-term chips remained intact. So, "positions not moving" needs to be broken down into whether spot or futures positions are holding, as the conclusions are completely different.
More importantly, don't just focus on volume; watch US Treasury yields, the US dollar, and ETF capital flows—these three are more honest than candlesticks. Heavy bets on direction before the meeting are actually bets on how much room the Fed will leave for rate hikes in December, not on whether there will be no hike. It's disciplined not to move without volume returning, but the moment volume returns could also be a spike—don't mistake volume changes for a signal to chase orders. The above is just market discussion and does not constitute investment advice. $BTC $ETH Brazil Presidential overnight volume doubled into Polymarket non-sports No.2: 24h $2.77M (was $1.26M).

US-Iran ceasefire ($1.07M): Oct 24 $BTC, combining historical trends and the current situation analysis, Bitcoin is currently oscillating with a downward rebound and accumulation. It won't fall too deeply. According to the 2023 correction, it would drop to around 75,000 before rebounding. However, the three-day moving average for Bitcoin is almost at the correction point now, and it is still near 80,000. This indicates that the main force does not want it to fall that deeply, so it oscillates repeatedly. The 80,000 level is slightly lowered to make people think it will fall further and then pull up a bit. This back-and-forth grinding continues. Once there is enough time and a macro favorable factor emerges, a big bullish candle will shoot straight up to the sky, and a new round of rally will begin. Let's wait and see!Weekly Recap Summary of the U.S. Stock Market as of October 25, 2026 This week (ending October 23 close), the U.S. stock market showed a pattern of divergence and volatility. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 25,955 points, down about 0.7% for the week, with a sharp drop of 2.6% on Thursday—the largest single-day decline in nearly four months—mainly due to rising concerns over AI capital expenditures and financing. The S&P 500 closed near 7,624 points, down 0.5% for the week; the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 52,215 points, up 0.4% for the week, indicating a rotation of funds from tech stocks to defensive sectors. The small-cap Russell 2000 rose about 2% for the week, showing relative resilience. The energy sector led gains, with Brent crude oil breaking through $117 per barrel during the week and closing near $117, reaching a five-month high, driven by escalating Middle East geopolitical risks: Houthi attacks on Saudi-related facilities, tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, and market rumors that the U.S. and Israel might take action against Iran after the midterm elections. Gold fell below $4,000 per ounce, closing around $3,996, down about 4% for the week, with its safe-haven appeal temporarily suppressed. Bitcoin fluctuated near $81,000, essentially flat for the week, balancing ETF inflows against macroeconomic pressures. The tech/AI sector faced significant pressure, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sharply retreating. Meta dropped about 7% due to an upward revision in capital expenditure guidance, and chip stocks like Nvidia also weakened. The market is concerned whether massive investments in data centers can generate timely returns, compounded by high interest rates and persistent inflation, leading to a temporary cooling of the AI trading narrative. The energy and healthcare sectors remained relatively strong, while the communication services sector led losses due to adjustments in telecom stocks. Outlook for next week From my perspective, this message seems more like reinforcing positions amid defensive sentiment rather than confirming an uptrend. Ember monitoring shows that a certain large whale added $9.21 million USDC margin in the early morning, lowering the ETH long liquidation price from $2256 to $2181. Currently, this address holds about $397 million in BTC and ETH longs.
My first principle for trend analysis is to look at price structure. Large positions attract attention, but adding margin only indicates risk adjustment. I won't assume the market direction is upward just because the whale is still holding.
The second principle is to distinguish the purpose of the funds. This money is used to top up margin and cannot be directly considered new buying pressure. In my view, it somewhat soothes bullish sentiment but is insufficient to prove strengthened upward momentum.
The third principle is to wait for the trend to validate the judgment. Lowering the liquidation price expands the position's tolerance but does not automatically support the market. If the price strengthens later with matching volume, then I would consider it a confirmation of bullish confidence—this is my observation criterion, and the data does not provide this result.
The trend is the best friend; my stance remains to wait for confirmation and not take others' liquidation lines as my own direction. Facing such news of a whale topping up margin, what methods do you currently use to judge the trend: price structure, moving averages, or volume-price coordination? $BTC Bitcoin Falls Below 80,000: Retail Investors Liquidated for 670 Million, Whales Are "Buying Up"
Yesterday BTC broke below $80,000, hitting a low of $79,277 during the session. Approximately $670 million was liquidated across the market within 24 hours, with over 210,000 people forcibly liquidated. ETFs are also continuously bleeding—on the 22nd, a net outflow of $635 million, and on the 23rd, another $137 million outflow, totaling about $770 million over two days. Technically, BTC has fallen below the 50-day moving average for the first time since August, making the short-term outlook quite bleak.
However, the on-chain picture is completely different. Since October 1, Wintermute has transferred 9,458 BTC to 40 new wallets, worth about $770 million, interpreted as chip withdrawal after OTC large order settlements. More macro data also confirms this: Santiment shows wallets holding 10 to 10,000 BTC have cumulatively increased their holdings by about 85,000 to 89,000 BTC since mid to late September; CryptoQuant reports pure whale holdings have rebounded to 3.03 million BTC, with the fastest monthly accumulation rate since February this year.
On one side, leveraged longs are being liquidated and ETFs redeemed; on the other, whales are moving chips into cold wallets during the pullback. Yesterday, two whales’ long positions on Hyperliquid were also hit, losing $278,000—showing internal large holder long-short splits as well. The $80,000 level is a short-term watershed: holding it means the panic is a "false sell-off," but if it continues to break down, the next focus will be on $76,000 to $77,000.【63 stocks want to go on-chain, 22 companies say no first, how will OKXICE still play?】
OKX ($OKB) and ICE want to bring 63 US stocks on-chain, but 22 companies have clearly opposed, including Wells Fargo, Arm, Microsoft, and Google's parent company Alphabet. Tokenization of stocks hasn't officially taken off yet, and traditional listed companies have already poured cold water on this innovation.
The SEC's innovation exemption allows platforms to trade tokenized stocks under certain conditions, but issuing companies can object, and the platform cannot list the corresponding stocks. The reasons why companies oppose are not explained in the documents, so it cannot be directly assumed that they are resisting blockchain.
Tokenization indeed has selling points like 24-hour trading and on-chain settlement, but stocks cannot be recognized just by making a token casually. Without cooperation from issuers, the tradable assets will shrink, and liquidity and user appeal may also be discounted. Next, it depends on how many stocks OKXICE can finally list and whether the actual trading volume can pick up; if the remaining assets still have enough demand, this resistance does not yet mean failure.📉 Record of Peak 12 Million U Liquidation: Big Brother Maji's ETH Long Positions Explode One After Another
Main text:
On-chain data shows that the well-known whale "Big Brother Maji" account suffered a devastating blow
Capital curve: dropped from a peak of 12 million to 5,357 within 2 months, a drawdown of 99.96%
Liquidation details: triggered intensive liquidations around ETH 2,300, with the largest single forced liquidation close to 300,000
Fatal operation: attempted to add $250,000 margin midway to hold the position, but ultimately failed to prevent the zeroing out.
$BTC $ETH 💡 Early Saturday at 79,994, BTC fell below 80,000 for the first time in ten days. But after reviewing the data, I actually think this is the cleanest drop recently.
Why? About $219 million liquidated within an hour, with over $200 million in just 15 minutes from leveraged long positions being forcibly closed. No new negative news, US stocks had already closed on Friday — purely a mechanical chain reaction as the price stepped into a leverage-dense zone. This kind of drop clears positions, not consensus.
Look at two more numbers: RSI at 43 is neutral, 24-hour volume is 1.56 times the 30-day average, both bulls and bears are active. BTC is currently at 80,829, having reclaimed above 80,000.
The real pricing will happen next week: the FOMC on the 27th-28th, and the PCE on Thursday. The weekend is most likely just a bottoming-out waste of time.
My stance: wait and see. The 80,000 level hasn’t decided a winner, betting on direction before the FOMC is like flipping a coin.
What about you? This weekend, are you reducing leverage and sleeping easy, or lying in wait below 80,000 to catch the dip?

Key points
At the daily level, the overall pattern is still full-line outflow, with BTC and ETH leading the sell-off, mainstream coins collectively sold off, and the entire market seeing a net outflow of over 300 million U in 24 hours, indicating mid-term selling pressure has been fairly released.
However, a clear short-term reversal signal has appeared: ETH first turned positive at the 6/8-hour level, BNB, XRP, and SOL also turned positive simultaneously, and USDC has had continuous net inflows over 12 hours, indicating funds are already accumulating in batches at low levels, a typical rhythm of selling while absorbing.
