🔥 I no longer want to predict BTC's lowest point because the trades that truly make money don't necessarily have to buy at the lowest price!
📉 The four-year bull and bear cycle has indeed shown some patterns in BTC's past. From 2023 to 2025, BTC's performance relatively aligns with the cycle rhythm, but altcoins have diverged early, with many coins reaching their phase highs in the first half of 2024.
💥 Next, BTC has three possibilities: breaking below $57,800 to set a new historical low; returning near $60,000 for a second bottom before ending the bear market; or directly reversing in the current area to start a new round of rally.
I won't rule out any of these three scenarios.
🧠 I don't need to guess the lowest point; I just need to wait for the price to offer a good enough opportunity. Without a margin of safety, I won't buy; without clear trading conditions, I will stay out of the market.
💰 Serious opportunities are worth seeking only after a big drop, but a deeper drop doesn't necessarily mean it's the bottom. We also need to see if selling pressure is exhausted, if the price stabilizes, and if the market truly has capital support.
🔥 Tonight, patience is still key. Missing out is not scary; the scariest thing is buying at the riskiest point just to avoid missing out.
Are you willing to miss the rally in order to wait for a margin of safety? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 🔥In this BTC bear market cycle, the truly worthwhile opportunity to wait for may not have appeared yet!
📉 According to the historical pattern of the four-year cycle, Bitcoin's bull and bear transitions usually follow a certain rhythm. From 2023 to 2025, Bitcoin's cycle performance is relatively clear, but altcoins have not fully synchronized; many altcoins actually peaked in the first half of 2024.
💥 What the market is most concerned about now is where BTC will complete its final drop?
Currently, I mainly consider three possibilities: first, breaking below the historical low of $57,800 to create a new low; second, returning to just above $60,000 for a second dip before ending the bear market; third, the current area is the bottom, and the market directly makes a big V-shaped reversal.
⚠️ All three scenarios are possible, and no one can guarantee in advance which one will definitely happen. The four-year cycle can be used as a reference but should not be treated as an exact price prediction.
💰 So my strategy is simple: don't buy if it doesn't drop, only act on a big drop. Without enough safety margin, even if the price rises before your eyes, do not chase.
🧠 Tonight, I will continue to wait patiently. Do you think $57,800 will be the last line of defense, or will this cycle see a deeper correction? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 The Nasdaq just caught its breath, but AI coins showed two different moods
On Friday, the Nasdaq rebounded 1.1%, but it still fell 3.4% for the whole week. This kind of market easily misleads people into thinking that tech risk appetite has returned, but the AI sector in crypto is not so uniform.
$RENDER was about $1.587 at 09:10 UTC on November 7, up 3.41% in 24 hours; perpetual open interest on seven exchanges was about $36.63 million, up 4.95% daily. Price rising with open interest increasing at least indicates rising participation, but new positions are not necessarily all longs.
$NEAR was about $3.709 at 10:15 UTC in the Hyperliquid snapshot, down 0.80% in 24 hours, with open interest around $159.5 million and a 1-hour rate of +0.0004%. Funds are still present, but the price hasn’t kept up with the tech stock rebound.
RENDER is more active, NEAR is temporarily lagging; the two data sources have different standards, so only compare direction, not absolute open interest to judge strength.
If tech stocks rise again next week, will you chase the leading RENDER, or keep an eye on the temporarily lagging NEAR?
#美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% Don't mistake institutional entry snapshots for your holding confidence
I once regarded ETFs as "stabilizers": since Wall Street is involved, the market should be more resilient. But capital has both entry and exit points; inflow and outflow always go through the same door.
On November 5, BTC spot ETFs had a net outflow of about $430 million, ETH spot ETFs had a net outflow of about $99.9 million, totaling approximately $530 million. More strikingly, after just returning the day before, the next day they turned around and exited again. This shows institutions are not "anchors" that only buy and never sell; they also rebalance, take profits, and hedge.
This made me rethink "institutional entry": having bought doesn't mean they will hold forever; recognizing the market doesn't mean they agree with your purchase price. Institutions focus on allocation and timing, while you bear your own cost basis. These are not the same.
In the future, when you see "institutions bottom-fishing," first check three things: the date of the data, whether outflows continue, and if they keep adding positions afterward. Don't take a single entry snapshot as a long-term commitment. They may have already swiped their card and left, while you're still taking photos excitedly at the door.Short sellers also need to guard against rebounds
When storage stocks keep weakening, short sellers tend to mistake the decline for a tailwind. The more it falls, the bolder they get adding positions; the more it rises, the more uneasy they become. For stocks like $SNDK, what really troubles shorts isn’t the gradual decline, but the sharp rally triggered suddenly by bottom-fishing funds.
Once the price rebounds, the floating losses on short positions get magnified. Leveraged positions become even more passive; when margin tightens, the system stops you out before you can even analyze the structure. Shorts fear not continued drops, but a sudden bullish rebound candle cutting into the downtrend.
Therefore, stop-loss isn’t admitting defeat, it’s leaving yourself a fallback. Proactively reducing positions before a rebound may feel painful, but it’s much cheaper than holding on until the peak and getting forcibly liquidated. After cutting positions, you can wait for the next opportunity; stubbornly holding on might cost you both your principal and control.
Short selling isn’t about who can endure more, but who can survive longer.NVIDIA's revenue potential in the Chinese market indeed exists
But there is one data point worth noting:
NVIDIA disclosed in its quarterly filing ending July 26, 2026, that shipments of the licensed H200 represent only a portion of the approved quantity, and the related shipment revenue accounts for less than 1% of the data center revenue for that quarter
This indicates that there is still a long way to go between policy approval and actual commercial revenue
Therefore, one cannot directly infer that NVIDIA is about to receive tens of billions of dollars in new orders just because the number of approved companies has increased
I prefer to understand it as a long-term market access opportunity rather than a short-term performance explosion catalyst
For China's AI industry: short-term to supplement computing power, long-term to compete for an independent ecosystem
Here is a contradiction:
Chinese AI companies need NVIDIA's high-performance GPUs, but China also needs to reduce dependence on advanced American chips
If the H200 is widely introduced in China, it may improve the supply of computing power for some model training and alleviate enterprises' demand for high-performance computing resources
But if the NVIDIA ecosystem continues to be used long-term, it may also increase dependence on CUDA, software tools, and the supply chain
Therefore, what China's AI chip industry truly needs to break through is not just single-chip performance, but:
Chip manufacturing capability
High-bandwidth memory supply
High-speed interconnect
Cluster computing efficiency
Software and developer ecosystem
This is a competition from chips to the entire computing infrastructure#软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？ Two major events collide on Tuesday next week (November 10): the US October CPI and SoftBank Group's Q2 earnings report.
SoftBank's report deserves special attention. It is now roughly equivalent to OpenAI's "meal replacement stock": it has committed to investing $40 billion (net investment of $30 billion), with OpenAI holdings valued at $79.6 billion fair value as of the end of March this year, and cumulative unrealized gains of $45 billion. The problem is that Altman confirmed in September that there will be no IPO in 2026, so these unrealized gains have no short-term exit path.
Where the money comes from is a hard constraint: last October, SoftBank liquidated Nvidia holdings for $5.83 billion; in the previous fiscal year, it reduced T-Mobile holdings for $16.25 billion; it also carries a $40 billion bridge loan (due March 2027); in June, it tried to use OpenAI equity as collateral for a loan but was shelved by banks citing "private equity valuation difficulties." S&P downgraded its rating outlook to negative in March.
The market has already pre-judged: down 7.9% on Wednesday, intraday drop exceeded 14% on Thursday, with SoftBank's dollar bonds leading the decline in Asian investment-grade debt.
The earnings report will focus on three things: how OpenAI is valued on the books, how much the LTV has risen, and where the next funds will come from.
This is a factual summary and does not constitute investment advice. $ETH – Institutional Money Is Moving Out
Ethereum is struggling to attract fresh institutional capital as spot ETFs record another $93M in outflows. Bulls need to defend support before another correction develops.
#BTCETFOutflows416M $BTC – Bitcoin Bulls Need Stronger Confirmation
Bitcoin is holding near $76K, but ETF outflows of $412M show institutional demand remains weak. A recovery needs stronger buying volume, not just a temporary bounce.
#TechStocksReboundWatch The most vulnerable link is actually not BTC itself, but the ability of altcoins to hold up after the leverage tide recedes. Who is swimming naked in this volatility phase? Looking over BTC's funding and liquidation data these past two days gives a very subtle feeling. On November 7, the 24-hour net inflow was about 1308.74 BTC, jumping 194.98% and 256.43% compared to the previous day and seven days ago respectively; at the same time, the liquidation amount dropped to about $41.6494 million and 3,152 transactions, down 79.46% from 24 hours earlier and 56.11% from seven days ago. Buying is returning, leverage is retreating, which sounds like a textbook healthy adjustment, but staring at these numbers, I first think of altcoins. The reason is simple: during volatility contraction periods, BTC is often the first to be repriced, ETH follows with a slight delay, and altcoins only get picked up when risk appetite truly returns. The sharp drop in liquidation volume now indicates that high-leverage positions have mostly been cleared, so the short-term risk of a crash is indeed decreasing, which is a bullish undertone for BTC and ETH. But on the other hand, the backdrop of spot ETFs having a cumulative net outflow of about $416 million this year still weighs down, indicating that incremental funds are not as active as imagined; the net inflow looks more like replenishment of existing holdings rather than new money entering. So I see the sequence of this market as: first, see if BTC can sustain the net inflow into a stable price; then see if ETH/BTC strengthens; and only then will altcoins catch up. If the first two steps don't materialize, the altcoin rebound is most likely just emotional repair, not a trend. The most feared thing in a volatility phase is to let "liquidationAs of November 8, the cryptocurrency market experienced a typical leveraged long liquidation cascade. According to Coinglass data, the total liquidations across the network in the past 24 hours rose to $812 million, with long liquidations at $668 million and short liquidations only $144 million, sweeping out 225,000 traders. The largest single liquidation occurred on the Binance ETHUSDT contract, valued at $11.85 million.
The position distribution shows extreme long crowding: Bitcoin long liquidations reached $216 million, shorts $102 million; Ethereum long liquidations were $230 million, shorts only $45.11 million. Long liquidations accounted for over 80%, indicating that leveraged positions stacked above $80,000 were forcefully liquidated in a chain reaction after the price broke down, with passive selling further pushing prices lower.
On the chart, Bitcoin accelerated a flash crash from around $81,000, quickly losing support at $76,000, hitting a low of $75,200 before buyers stepped in to support and trigger a rebound. The liquidation heatmap shows a dense long liquidation zone between $75,000 and $75,400, where this rebound started; the first short liquidation cluster is between $76,800 and $77,200, and $79,500 to $80,000 is the next liquidity gap. If the rebound continues, $77,000 is the first test; if $75,000 is lost again, the $74,500 to $74,800 range will come into view.
The current market is in a repair phase after leveraged clearing, with longs and shorts re-battling in the $75,000 to $77,000 range. It is not advisable to chase positions before the direction becomes clear. Non-farm payrolls blew past expectations, the crypto market didn’t crash, but "not crashing" doesn’t mean "improving"
New jobs added were 165,000, with the previous figure revised up from 29,000 to 60,000, totaling an 84,000 upward revision over two months. BTC only dropped by a few tenths of a percent, and the Fear & Greed Index remains stuck at 28. Bad news came out but no drop, indicating that leverage was mostly cleared during Thursday’s move. But not crashing is just not crashing; funding rates are still positive, longs are still holding on, this isn’t liquidation, it’s just holding on stubbornly.Conclusion first: Currently, it is a "single bank collapse + political crisis + financial credibility shock," not a full-scale financial crisis, but there is a risk of evolving into a sovereign credit and liquidity crisis. 1. The event itself: The collapsed bank is Ueno Bank (Weino Bank) - Nature: Paraguay's largest digital bank, with about 3 million customers (national population about 6.5 million, covering nearly half to 60% of the adult population) - Timeline: - June 2026: Central bank discovered related-party transactions and liquidity deterioration - November 2–3: Central bank determined solvency fell below half the legal limit, directly took over/initiated disposal, app, cards, and transfers all stopped - Subsequently: 8 senior executives investigated, President Peña resigned → impeached and removed → placed under house arrest, central bank governor resigned - Direct cause of failure: not a technical collapse, but governance collapse - Illegal loans to related enterprises of controlling shareholders - After provisioning, capital adequacy ratio dropped from about 15% to just over 5% - Public funds (pensions/social security IPS) deposited about $380 million–$850 million, run on deposits + asset hole exposed 2. Is this a "financial crisis"? Strictly speaking: not a systemic financial crisis, but a "quasi-financial crisis scenario" Dimension Current status Banking system capital Overall capital adequacy ratio still about 17%, non-performing loan ratio not high Contagion path Ueno's problem assets mainly within the group, interbank holdings not deep Deposit insurance Individual limit about $38,000, covering about 97% of depositorsRecently, many people have been asking: Has BTC already hit the bottom this time?
My view hasn't changed for now; in the short term, I am still watching around $72,000.
After last night's news, the market did not experience the expected panic selling. BTC's lowest pullback was to 74,800, and ETH only dipped to 2,207, not breaking the previous low of 2,170.
What does this indicate?
I believe that after the continuous decline earlier, quite a bit of capital has started to enter for bottom-fishing. After all, BTC fell from 88,000 to 75,000, and ETH dropped from 2,880 to 2,200, making the prices look attractive enough.
But I actually think it's still too early to be optimistic.
The reason is simple: the more people think it's cheap, the more we need to be cautious about whether there will be a second dip.
Currently, many have entered around 76,000, whether in spot or futures, accumulating a certain bullish expectation. If the subsequent rebound lacks strength and market sentiment weakens again, a new round of correction cannot be ruled out.
Of course, 72,000 is my personal forecast and does not mean the market will definitely reach there.
I am more willing to wait patiently now, rather than rushing to bottom-fish just because prices have dropped a lot. What really matters is not just how much the price has fallen, but whether the buying can continue to hold.
Do you think BTC has already bottomed this time, or is there still one last panic drop to come?
#BTCETFOutflows416M Bitcoin mining difficulty has not returned to its peak for 374 days, breaking a historical record
Bitcoin mining difficulty has remained below the high point of 155.97T set on October 29, 2025, for 374 consecutive days, marking the longest period in the network's history. The previous two records were 364 days after the 2011 crash and 253 days following China's mining ban in 2021, both of which have now been surpassed.
Pressure comes from two sides: low coin prices, with listed mining companies selling $BTC and shifting towards AI; and the Democratic Party pushing for data center restrictions after the midterm elections, which could also impact mining companies. Those holding mining stocks or positions related to computing power need to watch both these factors closely.
A verifiable point: difficulty dropped to 124.93T in mid-June 2026, about 20% below the peak, rebounded to 148.36T in October, but Mempool.space expects it to drop about 3.7% again around November 13.Falling while rising: IREN's mining revenue dropped about −58% in one quarter (around $28 million), but AI cloud revenue surged about +182% quarter-over-quarter to around $200 million — the same mining company, two faces on the books.
Hashrate was compressed from about 45 EH/s to about 8.8, mining about 402 BTC (about two thousand in the same period last year); daily settlement and clearing, no coin hoarding on the books. The company says it will basically exit mining and switch capacity to GPU by the end of the year — a realignment in the quarterly report, not just a slogan.
Confidence: High | Company disclosure (10-Q) + media reports. Are you more focused on how much mining companies are still mining, or on where the hashrate is moving?
$BTC $ONE is the coin of Harmony, the star public chain of the last bull market, which peaked at $0.379 and now is worth just a fraction — the project team has even proposed shutting down the mainnet and migrating to Ethereum. This is a coin that is "preparing to close," yet it surged 143% in two days.
How it rose: It bottomed out at 0.00102 on November 5, then surged 49% the next day with increased volume. Yesterday, it steadily climbed step by step all day with continuous volume; today at midnight it accelerated again to 0.00248. The project team made no announcements, and there is no news.
All the impact is written in the contract: liquidation samples show shorts overwhelmingly liquidated, longs have zero liquidations; positions nearly tripled in two days, and the fee rate is still negative — shorts are still rushing in, fuel not yet burned out. Some analysts call this the "derivatives fuel liquidation engine," not spot buying.
This market movement is unrelated to fundamentals, purely a position game. The main bet is on a high-level wide-range shakeout, first retesting support: if 0.0019-0.0020 holds, there will be more action; if broken, it will return to 0.00156.
Verification points to watch are two things: whether 0.00248 can hold with volume, and when the fee rate turns positive. A positive fee rate means longs start crowding in to take over, often signaling the end of the squeeze.#ASTS推进手机直连卫星服务，商业化进展待披露
ASTS:
1.3 billion backlog orders do not equal recurring revenue; revenue has consecutively missed expectations. The commercial service of 45 satellites has been postponed to early 2027; available cash is about 3.3 billion, while consumption from 2026 to 2028 is about 3.1 billion. The risk of dilution from financing is imminent. The other party does not leverage before the financial report, essentially leaving room for error in the conversion window, which does not contradict your pessimism.Can gold stand above 4100 before the 25th? My judgment and trading logic
Recently, the gold market has seen intense battles between bulls and bears. Regarding the question "Will the gold price reach 4100 USD before November 25th?", my judgment is: the probability is low.
First, macroeconomic pressure remains strong. The market currently prices in about an 80% chance of a Fed rate hike in December. Gold, as a non-yielding asset, has a very high holding cost when rate hike expectations rise. Additionally, Goldman Sachs just lowered its year-end target price to 4150 USD, clearly stating "bullish in the long term, but not now," which means the short-term upside is already capped by institutional pricing.
Second, technical selling pressure is heavy. The 4100 to 4130 range is not only a psychological barrier but also a dense resistance zone. Although gold briefly surged to around 4140 in early November, it quickly formed a long upper shadow and retreated, proving there is real and concentrated selling pressure at that level. It will be very difficult to break through and hold above it again in the short term.
Of course, I also respect the market. "Pulse-like" false breakouts caused by geopolitical conflicts or unexpected data cannot be ruled out. Therefore, I have constructed a two-way strategy: using free XP to buy into the "not reaching" prediction betting list rewards; at the same time, opening a 10x long position with a strict stop loss anchored at 3940.
The confidence in trading comes from risk control. Regardless of the outcome, my maximum drawdown is locked within an acceptable "tuition fee" range. Before the 25th, I leave it to time to verify. What do you think? The core reasons for $NBIS are twofold:
First, there is a huge consensus gap. The current mainstream institutional consensus (MarketBeat -$0.71, Seeking Alpha -$0.83, TipRanks -$0.75) has deeply fallen below the -$0.61 threshold. To reach a "Yes," a positive deviation far beyond the normal range is required.
Second, the cost side is concentrated and off the charts. Q3 is the first full depreciation period after the large-scale deployment of GPU clusters. Previously, quarterly depreciation amortization reached $250 million, and equity incentives nearly $90 million; these non-cash expenses are heavily impacting the income statement, directly dragging down the GAAP bottom line.
Unless there is a massive one-time asset revaluation (such as a surge in financial assets) to fill the gap, relying solely on main revenue growth (about $900 million) cannot reverse the trend of expanding GAAP losses.Continuously adding to positions during a decline is not about buying at a bargain; it's about giving up your retreat path.
$SNDK $MU keep falling, and the most common scenario is: the lower the price drops, the more buy orders appear.
Many think this is called "averaging down." But what gets diluted is the cost per share, while the total position risk is magnified. The heavier the position gets, if the price drops another level, the account will only face greater volatility.
What's more dangerous is that if every "replenishment" is accompanied by moving the stop loss lower, that's not risk control but exchanging a larger loss margin for psychological comfort. Once the stop loss moves back with the price, it easily ends up as no stop loss at all.
Thick buy orders on the order book don't necessarily mean the bottom has been reached. Orders can be withdrawn, selling pressure will consume buy orders, and what truly determines the short-term direction is not "how many people seem willing to buy," but whether the marginal selling pressure has weakened.
In a one-sided decline, the biggest fear is not making one wrong judgment, but having a position structure that leaves no room for correction. Heavy positions, averaging down, moving stop losses back—when these three combine, you are not being harvested by the market but dragged down by your own position.
In short: adding to positions and averaging down can be part of a plan, but it cannot be an instinctive reaction after losses. Unchanged logic, capped position size, and stop losses that do not move back—that's a strategy; otherwise, it's just holding on to losing positions. #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% #ASTS推进手机直连卫星服务，商业化进展待披露 Not optimistic $UP Altcoin Short-Term Volatility Summary｜Volume and Position Signal Analysis, Beware of Chasing High in Soaring Tokens:

#US October Nonfarm Payrolls Exceed Expectations, December Rate Hike Bets Heat Up Conclusion first: The NU7 upgrade went live on November 5, with the mainnet height at 3,543,405, and block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. But the upgrade rally has already ended—on the evening of November 6, it surged to 1388, now at 1263.7, down 7.3% in 24 hours.
Your wallet’s three accounts:
① NSM moves 60% of fees out of circulation and redistributes them according to the block reward curve, with redistribution starting from height 8,939,664 (around 2031), keeping the 21 million cap unchanged;
② v4 transactions are disabled, permanently locking about 12,224 ZEC in the Sprout pool;
③ Perpetual 24-hour trading volume is $952 million, 18.5 times the spot volume of $51.4 million; open interest dropped from $202 million to $180 million.
The most striking is the funding rate: the settlement at 00:00 on November 8 jumped from a long-term floor of 0.01% directly to 0.0936% (next period 0.069%), while the perpetual contract was still trading at a discount of 0.05%-0.11% to the index. Bulls are paying, yet the price is lower than spot.

With the Democrats now controlling both chambers, the bill is basically dead.
However, the Department of Labor's rule allowing 401(k) plans to buy crypto assets was submitted to the White House for final review on November 5, with a decision expected within 90 days at most.
The US 401(k) market holds about $15 trillion. Even if only a small portion is allocated, this represents a solid long-term capital channel.
So, the current situation is very divided. The legislative door is closed, but the administrative window is open.
In the short term, there is no direct impact on $BTC, but a compliant channel for long-term funds is much more practical than a bill stuck in the Senate.

While massive partnerships and new satellite launches prove the tech works, the $1.3 billion Firefly deal highlights its extreme capital intensity. It is a race to scale production and revenue before running out of cash.#ASTS推进手机直连卫星服务，商业化进展待披露
ASTS's commercialization is stuck in an awkward transition period: the regulatory and contract frameworks are in place, but the revenue pipeline has yet to start flowing.
The FCC has granted full operational rights for all 248 constellation satellites for SCS and D2D, with contracts backlog of about $1.3 billion, covering more than 60 operators including AT&T, Verizon, and Vodafone. However, these "pipelines" have not yet converted into service revenue — the Q3 revenue consensus is about $45 million, an extremely small absolute scale, and the majority of revenue still comes from gateway hardware deliveries and government contract milestones, rather than operator service revenue sharing.
There is also a critical shortage on the satellite side: only 13 satellites are in orbit, with a target of about 45 by early 2027. Continuous coverage and large-scale commercial use cannot be discussed with fewer than 45 satellites. Meanwhile, Starlink and T-Mobile's narrowband direct connection service have already commercialized first. ASTS's broadband differentiated approach is technically feasible but lags behind competitors in deployment pace.
The key for the Q3 earnings call is not whether revenue beats expectations, but whether management can provide a concrete timetable for operator trial commercial testing and the start of revenue sharing. Until then, ASTS's commercialization narrative remains at the "proof of capability" stage rather than "revenue realization."In the last 4 earnings reports, all exceeded expectations, but the stock closed lower the next trading day; earlier during the initial AI market surge (first half of 2024), it often surged significantly after beating expectations.

Continuing to hold a firm, optimistic view on storage!😎 #RocketLab财报前瞻：Neutron火箭进展如何？
Rocket Lab will release its Q3 earnings after market close on November 9, but the numbers themselves are no longer the main focus. The company's own guidance range is $250 million to $265 million, likely close to expectations. What truly affects the valuation is Neutron — it has been confirmed that it cannot have its maiden flight in 2026.
In mid-October, Rocket Lab announced the Neutron maiden flight delay to 2027, meaning Neutron has shifted from being a "catalyst" to a "waiting item," and it was precisely the core reason the market was willing to give Rocket Lab a premium.
There is no shortage of demand on the contract side: Neutron has signed exclusive launch missions for Kepler, and the U.S. Space Force SB-AMTI project has also designated Neutron for launch, with backlog orders still growing. However, before the maiden flight, these orders cannot be converted into revenue validation. Coupled with the company still operating at a loss and guidance for lower gross margins, market patience began to wane in Q2.
Therefore, the core focus of this Q3 earnings report is not whether revenue beats expectations, but whether management provides clear milestones for tank testing and a substantive narrowing of the maiden flight window during the conference call. Until then, Rocket Lab's story remains "Electron generates cash flow, Neutron waits for the future," rather than a validated second growth curve.$BTC
US hedge funds are indiscriminately selling off various assets: tech stocks, cryptocurrencies, and more.
Then they directly return the funds to investors instead of holding them to buy the dip.
This has caused the stablecoin market cap to drop by over $12 billion compared to the September peak, while the CB premium index is comparable to the most panic-stricken phase of a bear market.

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 SoftBank's latest financial report centers on a huge OpenAI valuation gamble:
1. Highlights: Masayoshi Son has bet on the entire AI chain, heavily investing in OpenAI (a total of $64.6 billion, holding about 13%), while planning to spend $50 billion in Malaysia to build an AI data center, integrating models and computing infrastructure, aiming to become Asia's AI hub.
2. Biggest risk: Recently, OpenAI's fundraising target was lowered and its valuation shrank, causing delays in the associated data center IPO. SoftBank's investment is private equity and cannot be liquidated at will; the quality of the financial report depends entirely on the fair value assessment OpenAI provides this round. Moreover, SoftBank has used significant debt to fund its AI investments, so leverage pressure is considerable.
3. Points to watch (key focus for the November 10 financial report):
◦ Whether the Vision Fund's book value for OpenAI has appreciated or been written down;
◦ Whether the terms of debt and secured financing have tightened;
◦ The timeline and funding arrangements for the Malaysia computing project.
4. In short: The story is big, but valuation and liquidity are the biggest vulnerabilities, representing a typical "high-risk, high-reward" scenario
#软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？ #存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Nonfarm payrolls in October exceeded expectations, bets on a December rate hike heat up Nonfarm payrolls exploded, what’s the outlook for BTC and ETH!!!
This time, nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000, with expectations at only 65,000, significantly surpassing forecasts. The unemployment rate fell and wages rose simultaneously, typical hawkish data. After the data release, the probability of a December rate hike quickly rose, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened, and liquidity tightening expectations suppressed BTC and ETH.
1. BTC: As the core of the market and highly correlated with the Nasdaq, BTC initially plunged quickly after the data release, with long leverage positions concentratedly liquidated. Spot ETF funds are prone to outflows; once support levels are broken, selling pressure will accelerate; however, BTC’s larger scale and deeper institutional holdings mean its downside elasticity is less than ETH’s. Focus on the 74,000 support level.
2. ETH: Exhibits stronger high Beta characteristics, compounded by DeFi and derivatives leverage positions, resulting in volatility significantly greater than BTC. Rising interest rates increase funding costs, causing DeFi capital to contract, bearish for the ETH ecosystem. Retracements are usually larger than BTC’s. Focus on the 2,200 support level.
3. Market rhythm: The data release represents bearish realization. The first wave is the immediate sharp drop killing longs at the moment of data release; the second phase is to observe whether U.S. Treasury yields can continue to rise. If yields spike then retreat, a short-term corrective rebound will occur, representing a weak bounce after the decline.Both SOL and ZEC's 4-hour charts are below their moving averages, but their decline patterns are completely different, which determines what to focus on next.
SOL is experiencing a slow, gradual decline rather than a one-time crash. Its rebounds are getting lower each time, with the lows slightly moving down, and the price repeatedly testing around 88.3. The short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages are aligned downward, forming a standard bearish arrangement. In this structure, the key focus is not on a specific price but on the strength of the rebounds. As long as the rebounds remain below the moving averages, the weakness continues. Conversely, if a 4-hour candlestick closes above and holds above the short-term moving average, it indicates the selling pressure has been interrupted for the first time, and only then can structural changes be discussed.
ZEC, on the other hand, has been slammed down from a high level. It previously had an upward structure, but after surging to 1388 on November 6, it quickly retraced, breaking the upward support line formed by the last two lows. The current price is right on the medium- and long-term moving averages, closing above them, but intraday it has already dropped below. This position is prone to fluctuations, with bulls defending here and bears testing. The judgment criterion is simple: whether the 4-hour candle can close below the moving averages, which is much more reliable than an intraday dip below.
There is another easily overlooked difference between the two. ZEC's 4-hour candlesticks often move about 4% up or down, while SOL usually moves around 2%. With the same stop-loss width, placing it on ZEC is prone to being triggered by normal volatility, while on SOL it feels too tight. Different volatility means different tolerable error margins, which is more important than price levels.
I tend to treat them as two different cases. SOL is a rebound exhaustion within a downtrend, requiring the trend itself to be broken. ZEC is the first pullback after the upward structure is broken, waiting for the pullback to give direction.

Bittensor represents a different approach to the AI infrastructure conversation by connecting decentralized networks with incentive-driven participation. Its broader proposition raises an important economic question: can token incentives consistently reward useful contributions rather than activity designed primarily to capture emissions? Network quality, participant behavior, and the usefulness of individual subnets will be essential factors in assessing long-term sustainability.#BTC spot ETF net outflow this year totals about $416 million. Bitcoin and Ethereum are caught in a "shallow drop, weak rise" oscillation dilemma. $BTC fluctuates repeatedly between $75,000 and $78,000, while $ETH consolidates narrowly around $2,200–$2,300. In October, BTC and ETH fell by 7.3% and 16.0% respectively, with market breadth sharply contracting. The root of the oscillation lies not in the price itself but in the capital structure: both BTC and ETH spot ETFs have net outflows, with ETH alone seeing a $1.6 billion outflow in a single month, indicating tactical contraction in institutional demand. More troublingly, the total open interest in the market has dropped to a 12-month low, leverage has basically been cleared, yet the perpetual funding rate remains positive, meaning bulls are still paying to "stay long"—chips have cleared out, but those unwilling to admit defeat are still holding on.
The likely future path is not a one-sided breakout but first a bottom test followed by divergence. 10x Research expects BTC could still reach $90,000 by year-end, but only after dropping to $77,000–$79,000 for a final shakeout, and ETH is expected to underperform BTC because value continues to flow to Layer 2, and ETH holders have not received sufficient returns. The key signal triggering a trend reversal is the funding rate turning negative, which would mean bulls truly give up and a bottom structure is established; before that, any rebound is more likely a recovery rather than a reversal.
#US October nonfarm payrolls exceeded expectations, fueling bets on a December rate hike The era when BTC was gold, LTC was silver, and RVN was copper is no longer mainstream, but there are still a group of loyal retail investors buying in.
The BTC gold narrative remains unshaken; LTC silver is gradually fading from institutional view; RVN liquidity is shrinking, exchanges are delisting it one after another, leaving only miners and the old community holding onto this story.
New funds prefer stablecoin public chain narratives, while the old gold, silver, and copper belong to the memory of the previous bull market, and the number of retail investors willing to buy has significantly shrunk.
Narratives will rotate, but the underlying logic of all three being PoW with a capped total supply remains unchanged.#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Nonfarm payrolls in October exceeded expectations, bets on a December rate hike heat up Nonfarm payrolls exploded, what’s the outlook for BTC and ETH!!!

On-chain data doesn't lie. In the past 96 hours, Big Brother Maji has consecutively sold 15 NFTs, cashing out $223,000 — while the original purchase price for this batch was $505,000, effectively cutting his losses in half.
What’s even more painful is what followed: this $220,000 wasn’t even held long enough to warm up in his hands before it was poured into the bottomless pit of contract margin, wiping out to zero again within days.
Old players remember that at his peak, Big Brother Maji held 150 Bored Apes, ranking him as a major whale in the BAYC ecosystem. But this year’s market has seen him repeat the same drama: selling NFTs to cover margin → forced liquidation → sell again to cover margin. Looking at the ledgers of two platforms, Papertrade lost him $909,000, and Hyperliquid swallowed a staggering $37.4 million.
At the end of the day, this isn’t a tragedy of running out of money, but a tragedy of not being able to control one’s hands. NFTs were originally bottom-line spot assets, but he forcibly turned them into chips on a gambling table. Once leverage is involved and the direction is wrong, even the hardest assets have to soften.
$37.4 million in tuition fees — an amount ordinary people couldn’t earn in several lifetimes. Contracts may look like shortcuts, but once you step in, you realize it’s a meat grinder. No one knows how many trump cards Big Brother Maji has left, but this cycle of “selling blood to cover positions” needs to end.#RocketLab Financial Report Preview: How is the Neutron rocket progressing? My view on $RKLB before Q3 (Nov 9): Revenue is likely to reach $250–265 million per guidance, but earnings per share according to GAAP look tight around -$0.07 to -$0.08.
The real story: Neutron (delayed to 2027) and the Iridium deal. The stock will likely move based on guidance, not results.
Not financial advice.#软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？
This earnings report looks impressive on the surface but is weak underneath.
Net profit was ¥347.3 billion, far exceeding market expectations, but the real driver of profit was not the AI mainline, rather a one-time revaluation gain from Intel's stake, about ¥1.3 trillion. The Vision Fund's pre-tax profit was only ¥5.427 billion, a year-on-year plunge of 98.8%, meaning the AI investment line was not profitable this quarter.
More importantly, OpenAI: cumulative investment of $44.6 billion, fair value of $89.6 billion, with unrealized gains on the books nearly doubled, but this quarter's valuation was not re-assessed, contributing zero to profit. The core engine of last quarter was directly extinguished this quarter.
What the market really worries about is not "whether OpenAI is worth it," but "whether SoftBank can afford to wait." The $64.6 billion OpenAI funding commitment, $40 billion bridge loan, and Arm shares already pledged—these certain assets are supporting an uncertain narrative.
In short: The AI story is intact, but financial quality is thinning. What Intel delivered is a breathing room, not a sustainable profit engine.
This is only an earnings report analysis and does not constitute investment advice. 🚨 Fed Rate Hike Risk: BTC History Signals Caution
US October jobs data came in stronger than expected, increasing bets on another December rate hike.
Historical data since 2016 shows that $BTC fell 30 days after every Fed rate hike following a pause: 7 cases, 0 wins, with a median decline of 2.4%.
The closest comparison is 2018, when BTC dropped around 42% between the midterm elections and December's rate hike.
📌 The sample is small, but the pattern deserves #USJobsBeatExpectations #SoftBank's heavy bet on OpenAI: Can the Q2 earnings report deliver impressive results? SoftBank's Q2 2026 earnings report delivered an "above expectations" performance: net profit of ¥347.3 billion, far exceeding the market estimate of ¥166 billion. But this impressive figure actually exposes the most vulnerable aspect of SoftBank's AI gamble—the profit engine is not OpenAI at all.
What truly supported the quarter was a "windfall": Intel's stake recorded an investment gain of about ¥1.3 trillion that quarter, with its stock price soaring 216%, almost single-handedly filling the gap caused by the stagnation in AI asset valuations. Meanwhile, SoftBank's $64.6 billion bet, holding about 13% of OpenAI, saw its valuation "stand still" that quarter, contributing no investment gains or losses; the Vision Fund's profits consequently plummeted 99%. In the previous quarter, OpenAI contributed $25 billion in valuation gains, which instantly dropped to zero, a stark contrast.
Deeper risks lie in the balance sheet. SoftBank has been fueling OpenAI with record high-yield debt and Arm equity pledges, with interest-bearing liabilities exceeding 40%. The delay of OpenAI's IPO to 2027 means this massive asset in SoftBank's hands lacks a liquidity exit for the long term, while the debt repayment window is approaching. The market has already voted with its feet: SoftBank's five-year CDS has risen to a four-year high, and its stock price has sharply retreated from its peak. Jefferies once described SoftBank's cyclical capital injections into OpenAI as a "self-reinforcing valuation loop."The surface looks bustling, but underneath, hands are quietly pulling back; this kind of divergence is the most worth watching. On-chain USDC trading volume rose about 49%, but has BTC's buying really kept up? Circle's Q3 revenue was about $865 million, and the stablecoin sector looks quite lively. Over the weekend, BTC hovered around 75,980, with a 24-hour range roughly between 74,890 and 76,380, and funding rates were almost zero. At first glance, it seems calm, but a closer look suggests no one is willing to make the first move. What really concerns me is the derivatives side. Funding rates near zero indicate neither longs nor shorts are willing to pay a premium for direction; leveraged funds are watching rather than betting. In this structure, price rises rely on spot slowly pushing up, not contracts driving the move, so the pace will drag and false breakouts are more likely. Meanwhile, the US spot BTC ETF saw net outflows of about $412 million on November 6, and BlackRock's IBIT had a single-day outflow of about $403 million, marking the second consecutive day of withdrawals. The stablecoin side is not short of dollar-denominated ammunition, but real money is flowing out of ETFs; with one side heating up and the other cooling down, the price can only hold on by itself. The bullish path is not impossible: the increase in USDC trading volume indicates settlement and on-chain activity are warming up. Once volume returns on Monday, if the 75,500 to 74,890 range holds, sentiment will recover quickly. First, watch if 76,380 can be reclaimed; if it stands, then talk about 76,800. The risk lies in derivatives not absorbing new inflows.When the cannon fire starts, don't immediately equate "safe haven" with "positive news" (｡•́︿•̀｡)
The Strait of Hormuz is the key choke point for global crude oil maritime transport. Once passage is blocked, oil prices tend to surge first. When oil prices rise, inflation expectations stick, the Federal Reserve's room to cut rates is squeezed, and if US Treasury real yields rise further, non-yielding assets like BTC naturally come under pressure (´･_･`).
Capital flows will also have priorities: gold and US Treasuries first receive safe-haven funds; high-valuation tech stocks and crypto assets are usually the first to be reduced. Don't automatically translate conflict into "crypto market takeoff"; currently, BTC is closer to a risk asset. In the early stage of the situation, watch for risk appetite contraction rather than rushing to talk about war narratives (╥﹏╥).
Most likely, there will be repeated tug-of-war afterward. My observation sequence: oil prices, US Treasury real yields, and whether risk appetite stops falling. Don't use a single bullish candle to prove a bottom; keep some position in reserve and wait for stabilization signals before acting. Brothers, living long is more important than guessing right (ง •̀_•́)ง

I am the mid-term intelligence guy, just saw a news saying
Since 2016, under the Fed's "pause then restart rate hikes" scenario, $BTC has fallen every time 30 days after a rate hike, 0 wins and 7 losses, with a median decline of 2.4%.
Currently in this situation: rate hike in September, pause in October, recent expectations for another hike. Most similar to 2018, when BTC plunged 42% from the midterm elections to the December rate hike.
Although the historical sample is only 7 times, the all-loss record is worth caution.
From a mid-term perspective, macro tightening puts risk assets under pressure, short-term guard against pullbacks, don't blindly hold positions, keep a close eye on macro developments.
