During the evening European session, the market continued to dawdle in front of the key defense line, with bulls showing no sign of counterattack.
$BTC | 77030: After reaching a high of 78254, it was hammered back and is currently repeatedly testing the critical 77000 lifeline. The spot ETF saw a single-day outflow of $643 million, with BlackRock bearing the main selling pressure. The MA20 resistance above is obvious, and once the previous low of 76265 is broken, it could easily trigger a bull stampede.
$ETH | 2269: Weakness is evident, with six consecutive days of ETF net outflows and continuous capital bleeding. Both technical and capital pressures are mounting, approaching the previous low of 2174. Support below is at 2200; a break would open the downside space.
$DOGE | 0.0743: Capital is not buying in, showing a typical "fall with the market but not rise with it" pattern. Against the backdrop of declining overall market risk appetite, meme coins have no rebound momentum. Strong support is at 0.07217; breaking below would turn the positive outlook into a trapped position.
Summary: Macro positives fail to drive the market, ETFs continue to bleed, a typical slow decline pattern, avoid blindly catching falling knives.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Analysis of Reasons Why the Future of Digital Currency Would Face Extinction if Binance Collapses
Binance is not just an exchange; it is the largest global gateway for crypto asset deposits and withdrawals, a liquidity hub, and a pricing center. If Binance were to completely shut down, the impact would not be a short-term market drop but a chain collapse of the entire industry's infrastructure. Many believe this would accelerate the demise of digital currency, with the core logic as follows:
1. The world's largest liquidity pool disappears, causing the pricing system to collapse directly
The trading depth and price discovery of BTC, ETH, and the vast majority of altcoins heavily rely on Binance's order book.
1. Binance carries a significant proportion of the industry's spot and futures trading volume and is the core where global funds converge. Once it shuts down, massive orders and order book depth vanish instantly;
2. Other small and medium exchanges have limited capacity to take over, liquidity will sharply contract, spreads will widen drastically, slippage will be extremely high, and prices will lose a stable anchor, leading to erratic surges and crashes;
3. Without a unified pricing center, the same coin's price will be completely fragmented across different platforms, invalidating the "value benchmark" of assets.
When assets cannot even form a fair price, the foundation for speculation and allocation disappears.
2. The main fiat deposit and withdrawal channels break, making off-exchange capital inflow nearly impossible
For ordinary retail investors and institutions wanting to enter the crypto space, the most mainstream path is: Fiat → Binance → Various tokens.
- Other exchanges' compliant deposit and withdrawal channels and service scales are far inferior to Binance;
- After Binance collapses, the remaining deposit and withdrawal channels will face even stricter regulatory crackdowns;
- Over-the-counter peer-to-peer trading is fragmented, risky, and limited in volume, unable to support large-scale capital flows.
Without continuous fiat inflows, the industry becomes a zero-sum game with shrinking volume and marginalization over time.
3. Chain reaction of trust collapse triggers a run across the entire industry
Binance is the industry's confidence benchmark. If it collapses, the market will reach a consensus: even top exchanges can suddenly go to zero, run away, or become insolvent.
1. Users will panic withdraw from all exchanges, causing massive runs and consecutive failures of small and medium exchanges;
2. Institutional funds will abandon the crypto sector entirely, shelving all ETF and compliant allocation plans;
3. The public will completely lose confidence in the "custodial trading model," and new users will no longer dare to enter.
The collapse of FTX once triggered a wave of panic; Binance's scale is much larger, so the stampede effect will multiply.
4. Regulators will use this as the strongest justification for coordinated global crackdown
If Binance collapses, it will be treated as a typical case by regulators worldwide, proving that virtual currency exchanges are uncontrollable risks prone to hacking, money laundering, and scams.
1. The U.S. will accelerate the implementation of stricter bans and asset controls;
2. More countries will directly ban crypto trading and related services;
3. Stablecoins, cross-chain bridges, and on-chain service providers will face collateral scrutiny, with many supporting infrastructures shutting down.
The industry's survival space will be continuously compressed, with less and less legal ground to operate.
5. Project ecosystems, market makers, and funding service chains will collectively break
Public chains, Meme coins, staking platforms, and lending protocols all heavily depend on exchanges for market making, listing empowerment, and traffic introduction:
1. Many projects' main trading venue is Binance; once delisted, token liquidity dries up, leaving assets with value but no market;
2. Market makers and quantitative institutions rely on Binance's depth, API, and futures products to conduct business; with the hub gone, quantitative funds exit;
3. Incubation, IEOs, ecosystem incentives, and token exposure channels will drastically reduce, making it difficult for new projects to obtain funding and attention.
New projects will stall, old projects will slowly fade, and the industry will lose its self-sustaining regenerative capacity.I see this follows the narrative of institutional holding, which can boost sentiment but cannot be taken as confirmation of a price increase.
The Tether CEO stated that the company holds 150,000 bitcoins worth $11.5 billion but did not specify where the additional holdings are stored.
I follow three rules for trend tracking: watch volume and price—holdings do not equal new buying; watch persistence—statements do not equal continuous accumulation; watch verification—storage information is still missing a piece. The trend is the best friend; I am still waiting for market confirmation—when encountering this kind of news, do you use trading volume or moving averages to judge the trend?💥 Total liquidation across the network reached 383 million!
ETH shorts got wiped out, BTC longs are going through a trial.
📊 Key signals
ETH (Short Squeeze): 464,000 short positions liquidated in 1 hour, 6 times more than longs! A violent short-term surge, clear main force short squeeze, strong momentum but beware of a pullback.
BTC (Bull Trap): Mid-to-long term long liquidations far exceed shorts, selling on rebounds, chasing longs keep losing heads.
Binance saw a single 8.78 million BTC long position instantly wiped out, big players fighting the trend got taught a lesson
ETH: Don't hold onto stop-loss on shorts; go light on longs, fuel can run out and cause sudden drops.
BTC: Don't catch the bottom, rebounds are selling opportunities, don't enter without volume breakout.
⚠️ In short
ETH kills shorts, BTC kills longs. Believe the wrong side and you die, controlling your hands and watching the show is the way! 😂$BTC $ETH $HYPE On-chain, I found an absurdly huge whale account holding a $120 million HYPE long position that refuses to budge.
With 5x leverage, the base position was built at $38, and now the unrealized profit has doubled, yet they haven't reduced it at all. The liquidation price is at 73. The market has been wildly swinging up and down these past two days, and despite over a hundred million in profits riding the roller coaster, they stubbornly haven't hit the close position button.
Holding over a hundred million in unrealized gains and resisting volatility purely to wait for the next major bull run. When a big player locks their chips this tightly, think about how much capital is waiting to catch the dip below 80.

The first-level positive spread for $BTC corresponds to a very small scale. The buy near sell far quote spread is +0.64%, with the first-level pairing scale about $8; based on a scale of 10,000, this level only covers about 0.08%. Under small volume, the impact will quickly eat up the spread.
The first-level positive spread for $ETH corresponds to a very small scale. The buy near sell far quote spread is +0.07%, with the first-level pairing scale about $199; based on a scale of 10,000, this level only covers about 2%. The curve has a shape, but the pool is too small.
For $SOL, the marked spread is positive, but the buy near sell far first-level quote is inverted. Near-month annualized +1.66%, far-month annualized +0.61%; marked near-far difference +0.13%, buy near sell far first-level quote spread -1.15%. The mark and executable direction are opposite, so you cannot trade based on the mark.Oil prices have been like a roller coaster these past two days. On Monday, Brent crude $BZ fell 7.6% to close at $104.77, WTI dropped 7.3% to $96.46, marking the largest single-day decline since July 27. The cause was the Iranian president saying the Supreme Leader gave the government "certain authorization" to negotiate and resolve issues. After the close, when Trump was asked if he would still fight after the election, he said "no" twice, adding that oil prices would fall even more; but on the same day, he told Fox that they might have to bomb the underground nuclear facility at "Gahout Mountain," saying "it could be done in an hour."
That night, the US military struck Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz. US officials told CBS it was a limited strike because the Revolutionary Guard fired at US military aircraft; the Wall Street Journal said such strikes have been ongoing for weeks but kept quiet. On Tuesday, Brent crude rose 1.75% to $106.6, recovering less than $2 of the more than $8 lost on Monday. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said negotiations through intermediaries are "very intense," and they are prepared for war.
The pain is inflation. Since the start of the conflict, global oil prices have risen about 45%. The US diesel average price on Monday was $6.29 per gallon, up 77% since the start of the year. Last week, two Federal Reserve officials said interest rates need to rise.
The market has already priced in that these small-scale clashes will continue. The $104.77 price bets on no major war after the election; if Iran gets even one condition eased—lifting the blockade or oil sanctions—Brent crude could drop below $100, and the Fed hawks would have one less reason. If Gahout Mountain really gets bombed, the more than $7 drop on Monday would be given back in a day. $CL $QQQ #伊朗授权政府谈判，霍尔木兹重开能否提速？ The US attribution is based on the FBI and on-chain security agencies' tracing conclusions, which do not equate to court-confirmed evidence; North Korea's official stance has explicitly denied this, considering it a deliberate smear and political framing by the US.
1. Surface Reason: High match between attack fingerprints and historical crime records
The US has long tracked the Lazarus Group (Lazarus / TraderTraitor, APT38), a gang that has repeatedly attacked exchanges to steal coins (major cases including Bybit), with a fixed modus operandi: social engineering infiltration of exchange operations, hot wallet theft, using DeFi and mixing protocols to launder Ethereum-based assets in batches. The on-chain fund flow patterns and laundering paths highly overlap with this Binance theft, and security agencies use the "method fingerprint" as the basis for attribution.
In the US official narrative framework: this group is characterized as North Korean state-sponsored hackers, with stolen coins used to circumvent sanctions, obtain foreign exchange, and support weapons projects—a fixed narrative template repeatedly promoted by the US.
2. Core Political Objective: Incorporate this digital finance incident into the North Korea sanctions system
1. Obtain new grounds for sanctions
Once defined as North Korean state hacker activity, the US Treasury can naturally expand the sanctions list: tagging related mixing addresses, DeFi protocols, money laundering service providers, blocking illicit fund flow channels, and strengthening the global on-chain blacklist system. As long as the "North Korea association" label is applied, the US has grounds to require global exchanges and wallet projects to freeze and intercept related assets, advancing its on-chain regulatory rules.
2. Shape public opinion: crypto theft = North Korea obtaining nuclear weapons funding
This narrative easily convinces Western allies: large-scale crypto theft is not just for profit but a channel for sanctions evasion and weapons financing. It facilitates the US in promoting multinational coordination and tightening anti-money laundering rules across the virtual asset industry.
3. Industry Governance Level: Seize discourse power over cryptocurrencies
This is a very critical point, coinciding with your earlier mention of the digital currency war logic:
Binance is the world's largest crypto on/off-ramp hub, and this theft has already triggered global panic over exchange security.
The US directing blame to North Korea has several benefits:
✅ Divert market focus: weaken external doubts about Binance's risk control flaws and US regulatory absence, shifting public attention from "centralized exchange architecture is inherently insecure" to "hostile nation cyberattacks";
✅ Establish the US role: the US is the "guardian" responsible for attribution, tracking stolen funds, and combating transnational digital financial crime, using this opportunity to strengthen US law enforcement leadership in the crypto world;
✅ Patch the ETF and compliant crypto asset narrative: tell institutional funds that the risk source is foreign hostile forces, not the US's compliant custody system itself.
4. Why many suspect this is "scapegoating"
1. On-chain fingerprint matching is probabilistic evidence; hackers can completely imitate Lazarus's old methods to forge traces and frame opponents, a common anti-attribution tactic in cyber offense and defense;
2. Pattern routinization: whenever a large crypto theft occurs, the US's first reaction is to point to North Korea, forming a fixed paradigm. North Korea has repeatedly criticized the US for "not asking for evidence and habitually framing";
3. The incident itself involves complex interests: the stolen amount is huge, involving Binance compensation, asset recovery, and regulatory games among countries, with multiple parties competing.
5. Echoing your previous logic (digital currency war perspective)
Regardless of whether this attribution is factual, the characterization itself is part of the currency war:
The US uses this sensational theft case to define the enemy, define risks, and define rules, incorporating crypto assets into the financial battlefield of great power confrontation.
What the market sees is not just hackers stealing coins, but: whoever controls attribution authority can set rules for on-chain blacklists, fund freezes, and asset recovery, thus controlling the initiative in digital finance.$AAPL
The quick news about Apple is just one sentence: down 3% pre-market, no reason given afterward. Checked three sources, all the same.
The token side is even more volatile than the stock. Between 5 PM and 6 PM, it plunged from 328.74 to 322.01, with 15,300 contracts traded. Usually, it's one to two thousand contracts per hour, so this is an elevenfold increase. At 6 PM, it climbed back to 326.48, down 5.16% in 24 hours, with the lowest point being that sharp dip.
What's strange is the fee rate and open interest. The fee rate is still positive, +0.0195%, meaning longs are paying; contract open interest is only 10.38 million. The pool is so thin that a single order can move the price by two points, and a single order can also pull it back. The ones pushing the price down aren't leveraged positions but pre-market liquidity.
The real pricing only counts after the stock opens. The token has just played out the sentiment in advance for half a day, maybe overplayed it but still got it right. Let's see tonight.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ 11.3 Gold Evening Outlook
Spot gold is currently trading around 3900. Tonight marks the U.S. midterm elections, which will serve as an important short-term catalyst for gold prices.
From the market perspective, after a sustained decline earlier, the price has already priced in part of the rate hike expectations. The downward momentum is gradually weakening, and there is a technical need for a correction.
The biggest focus of this election is that if a divided Congress is formed, it could easily lead to a policy deadlock. Subsequent battles over the debt ceiling and fiscal budget will increase, raising macroeconomic uncertainty and benefiting gold's safe-haven pricing.
Once the market starts pricing in the risk of policy tug-of-war, long-term U.S. Treasury yields have room to fall, and the dollar will come under pressure, providing upward support for gold prices.
Even if the final outcome aligns with market expectations, the "bad news is priced in" scenario can easily trigger capital replenishment; combined with the long-term concerns over the high U.S. debt, gold's value as a hard currency allocation will regain investor attention.
Reference:
Long positions around 3890-3900, targeting 3925, 3950, 3980 $XAU $BTC
Tether holds 150,000 BTC, which is worth $11.5 billion at the current price of 77,000. Since September 30, it has added another 50,000 BTC.
At the same time, the total market cap of stablecoins has dropped to its lowest in over a year, down 17 billion in six months.
These two facts together are quite contradictory. Stablecoins are the bullets in the market, and the bullets are shrinking; USDT itself is using its profits to buy up coins, locking in the supply before retail investors enter.
The market isn't giving any favors. It fell another 1.25% in 24 hours, hitting 76,360 at 2 PM, then pulled back to 77,044 at 5 PM with a volume of 2,832 coins, 40% more than the previous bar. But it can't hold above 77,000; it touched 77,126 at noon and then retreated. Open interest is 2.627 billion, and the fee rate remains at 0.01%.
My view: There are real buyers at 76,360 below and real sellers at 77,000 above. Tether can support the bottom by buying coins, but it can't change the trend. Wait for the fee rate to turn negative or for open interest to drop before talking about a rebound.

U.S. chip stocks have dropped 12% over three days, the Nasdaq 100 has pulled back 10% from its high, and with the midterm elections voting today and results coming out tomorrow morning, the crypto market is holding its breath along with the Nasdaq. The three major cryptocurrencies are all in the red, and when the ETF accounts are laid out, it's clear who will crack first.
$BTC is around 76,940, hugging the 100-day moving average
Down 1.4% in 24 hours. On Monday, BlackRock's IBIT saw an outflow of $405 million, the largest since June 26, and the spot ETF had a net outflow of $399 million for the whole day. The intraday low was 76,400, the lowest since August, with the 100-day moving average around 76,463.
$ETH is around 2,265, bleeding for six consecutive days 🩸
Down 1.1% in 24 hours, the smallest drop among the three. However, the spot ETF had a net outflow of $140 million on Monday, marking six consecutive days of outflows, with BlackRock's ETHA alone withdrawing $138 million.
$SOL is around 92.2, with no inflows or outflows
Down 2.2% in 24 hours, the weakest among the three. Seven SOL spot ETFs saw no movement on Monday, with a total outflow of $63.4 million over the previous five trading days.
Bitcoin is the most uncomfortable, with the 100-day moving average right underfoot. If it tests 76,400 again, there’s little to stop it before 75,000. Ethereum’s smaller drop is deceptive; all the money over six days has exited through ETHA, and as long as BlackRock keeps selling, there’s no bottom in sight. SOL’s ETFs are stagnant at zero, with buying pressure gone first. If the election results tomorrow morning cause another hit to the Nasdaq, SOL will be the first among the three to break down. #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ The 12 major cases total $9.74 billion, with Binance alone accounting for 65%.
BlockBeats compiled 12 major cases related or suspected to be related to North Korea from 2022 to 2026 based on TRM and FBI data.
Binance ranks first with about $6.3 billion, Bybit second with $1.5 billion, and the remaining ten cases total $3.44 billion.
The US government directly named TraderTraitor only in three cases: Binance, Bybit, and DMM. Of the remaining nine cases, eight are attributed to the Lazarus group. The Bitget case has not yet been officially confirmed.
The 65% figure should be understood in context: it is based on these 12 major cases, not the total amount stolen by North Korea, nor the losses of South Korean users.
#Crypto #SecurityIBIT dumped $405 million in one day, while FBTC is still making small buys!
US stock market on November 2 (Farside): BTC spot ETFs had a net outflow of about $399 million, almost all from IBIT alone (about -$405 million), while FBTC actually had a net inflow of about $6.7 million. Adding the approximately -$643 million on October 30, about $1.04 billion was withdrawn over two trading days, wiping out the roughly $441 million inflow accumulated in the previous four days. ETH spot ETFs have also had outflows for six consecutive days, with about $140 million more withdrawn on November 2. Are institutions withdrawing or repositioning? Spot BTC is about $76,897 (Beijing 18:42, Coinbase). Image source: Farside.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC BTC has dropped sharply in the past three midterm elections! Will it happen again in 2026?
Historical data is indeed worth caution. After the 2014, 2018, and 2022 US midterm elections, BTC formed stage lows approximately 71 days, 38 days, and 13 days later, with maximum drawdowns of about 48%, 50%, and 16% respectively. The time to bottom shortened each cycle, but this is just a historical coincidence over three cycles and does not prove that the election caused the decline.
This year's political expectations are also worth attention. Pre-election prediction markets showed that the implied probability of the Democrats winning the House once reached about 94%, and the Senate about 74%. Note, this represents traders' pricing of the outcome, not polls or final results.
More importantly, this cycle's BTC stage low already appeared on July 1, about 125 days before the November 3 election, indicating a deviation from historical timing.
My view is that history can provide risk warnings but cannot directly serve as a trading signal. Going forward, focus should be on post-election USD liquidity, ETF fund flows, and BTC price structure. Don't short early just because of past declines, nor blindly chase longs due to optimistic market expectations. $BTC #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ After losing 5.88 million, he reversed and opened a 43 million position an hour later. When writing down this number, I was wondering how much is actually left in this person's account.
The three losses were 4.4 million in $BTC, 1.13 million in $HYPE, and 600,000 in $ZEC. Note HYPE — just lost 1.13 million on this coin, and it appeared again in the newly opened long position.
The liquidation price is only 5% to 6% away from the current price. This gap doesn't require a black swan event; a single ordinary bearish candle is enough.
Either he really sees something we don't, or he just refuses to admit this loss. On-chain only records positions, not reasons.Someone just lost 5.88 million USD, and an hour later opened a 43 million USD long position. Same hour, same address—this is the most intriguing on-chain data I've seen today.
Let's break down the losses first. This address closed three positions, totaling a loss of 5.88 million: $BTC lost 4.4 million, $HYPE lost 1.13 million, and $ZEC lost 600,000. BTC alone accounts for about 75% of the total loss.
Now look at the actions within that hour: they reversed and opened 43 million USD worth of $ETH and $HYPE long positions. The key to watch is HYPE—just lost 1.13 million on this coin, yet it’s back in the new position. Losing and immediately buying back the same asset is the hardest to explain.
What really determines the risk isn’t the 43 million, but the liquidation price: only 5% to 6% away from the current price. A decent bearish candle moving against the position will trigger liquidation; a 5% buffer in this market is effectively nothing.
Putting these three points together, the structure is clear: they’re not waiting for a better entry, they’re betting on a direction, doubling down with money lost. Averaging down and refusing to admit defeat are completely different motives, but on-chain they look the same.
On-chain data shows what they hold, how much leverage they use, and how close they are to liquidation—but it can’t reveal why they made this call. The only certainty is someone has placed 43 million USD just 5% away from the cliff.24-hour liquidation data just released: out of the total $97.99 million liquidation across the network, $BTC accounts for 24.9%, but the truly striking figure is $SOL — out of $25.77 million liquidations, $23.26 million come from longs, shorts only $2.5 million, nearly 90% of liquidations are on the buy side. This is not a general market drop, but a precise sweep targeting momentum buyers. First, let's look at the structure. $BTC liquidations are $66.91 million longs versus $31.08 million shorts, with buy-side liquidations more than twice the sell-side, indicating that the longs who added positions following the trend in recent days were wiped out in the pullback. $ETH is also long-biased, $38.79 million longs versus $29.98 million shorts, the gap is clear but less intense than $BTC, trend buyers are under pressure but not to an extreme. Together, these three outline the same clue: leveraged longs are the main fuel for this round of clearing. Why is $SOL the most worth watching? Its long-short liquidation ratio is close to 9:1, far exceeding $BTC and $ETH. This concentration means short-term speculative funds are highly aligned; once the price reverses, stop-losses and forced liquidations trigger in a chain reaction. In other words, $SOL's chip structure is more fragile than the other two major coins, and the selling pressure released during rebounds is also more concentrated. The market often only sees the total liquidation amount but overlooks the "directional bias" of liquidations — the more extreme the bias, the more thoroughly crowded trades are dismantled. This leads to an easily underestimated judgment: the retreat of the liquidation wave does not equal a trend reversal; its more common outcome is a volatile tug-of-war. Selling pressure is indeed partially absorbed, making the market lighter, but the real bottom signal is not in "large liquidation numbers," but in "liquidation numbers continuously narrowing, moreApple's earnings exceeded expectations, but the stock price fell more than 4% in after-hours trading! $AAPL
The first earnings report delivered by new CEO Thunus showed 12% revenue growth, 17% iPhone growth, and 21% growth in Greater China.
But what the market really worries about is not that Apple can't sell, but that profits are being eaten up by costs.
Memory prices continue to rise, and Siri AI adds cloud costs. The gross margin guidance for the December quarter is only 45%–46%, below market expectations.
What’s more noteworthy: Apple has already adjusted prices on some products, but management expects memory costs to keep rising.
So the question arises:
Will Apple continue to raise prices, or turn AI into a new revenue stream?
Hardware price hikes test consumers, AI charges test user stickiness.
In the AI era, whether Apple can maintain its profit margin is more important than mere revenue growth.Apple $xAAPL could drop nearly 5 points in pre-market trading, which basically becomes a huge source of instability for the overall market. If semiconductors remain weak today, that would be another massive shock.
Previously, among the tech giants' earnings reports, only Tesla performed relatively well. Apple missed several expectations, and its buyback was also weak, so the sell-off was quite severe.
Apple has always been a support stock, so the market is now watching to see if Apple will plunge sharply after the open and then rebound significantly. If a rebound occurs, it would definitely be unfavorable for tech, proving that even if Apple's earnings fall short of expectations, funds are still seeking safety and remain concerned about AI risks. #苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 The CSRC's optimization of the "supportive buyback" rules this time (mainly focused on buybacks necessary to maintain company value and shareholder rights) is a strong "policy floor" signal released by regulators during the current market downturn, aiming to encourage listed companies to put real money into the market to support prices through regulatory relaxation.
These three core adjustments (adding the "break-issue price" scenario, removing the 6-month listing restriction, and removing the auction session restriction) impact the A-share market from the following dimensions:
1. Adding the "break-issue price" scenario: precise rescue, supporting overvalued and newly listed stocks
· Rule change: Previously, supportive buybacks usually required the stock price to fall below net asset value (break net) or continuous sharp declines. Now, "break-issue price" (stock price falling below the IPO issue price) is included as an allowable buyback scenario.
· Impact: This is a targeted benefit for newly listed stocks and the STAR Market/ChiNext. In recent years, due to tightening market liquidity, many high-priced tech stocks and new stocks have severely broken issue price, damaging market confidence. Allowing them to buy back shares gives these companies a self-rescue tool, effectively alleviating selling pressure on broken-issue-price stocks and repairing valuation expectations for the tech growth sector.
2. Removing the 6-month listing restriction: speeding up self-rescue for newly listed stocks
· Rule change: Previously, companies had to be listed for 6 months before conducting supportive buybacks; now they can do so immediately upon listing.
· Impact: This greatly shortens the "shock period" when new stocks face extreme declines. This means if a new stock encounters irrational dumping early after listing, management can immediately stabilize the market through buybacks. This directly benefits short-term sentiment in the newly listed stock sector and effectively counters malicious short-selling forces in the early listing phase.
3. Removing the auction session restriction: direct intervention in the closing session, strengthening the support effect
· Rule change: Previously, buybacks were restricted during the opening and closing auction sessions; now these restrictions are fully lifted.
· Impact: The A-share market is known for "deciding the outcome at the close." Allowing buybacks during auction sessions means companies can concentrate purchases in the last 3 minutes of trading (14:57-15:00), directly lifting the closing price. This not only creates visually appealing K-line charts (avoiding breakdowns) but also greatly suppresses intraday short-sellers’ momentum, allowing supportive funds to influence market sentiment with maximum efficiency.
---
📊 Overall impact analysis on A-shares
① Sentiment: clear "policy floor" and "support" expectations
Against the backdrop of continuous adjustments and shrinking trading volumes in A-shares (especially ChiNext and STAR Market), this move continues the CSRC’s "activate capital markets" strategy. It signals to the entire market that regulators are closely monitoring declines and are ready to deploy tools to provide liquidity support at any time.
② Capital: introduction of incremental funds, improving micro liquidity
Share buybacks by listed companies are currently one of the most certain sources of incremental funds in the A-share market. With relaxed rules, more companies (especially cash-rich central state-owned enterprises and quality tech leaders) are expected to join the buyback ranks. The entry of real funds can effectively offset selling pressure caused by foreign capital outflows and mutual fund redemptions.
③ Trading game layer: beware of "empty talk buybacks" and "fake buybacks"
· "Hype buyback" risk: With relaxed conditions, some companies might opportunistically announce buyback plans to boost stock prices but execute minimally or not at all (e.g., only buying the minimum few million shares or delaying purchases).
· Short-term impulse vs. long-term value game: Buybacks usually trigger short-term impulses (next-day gap up), but only large-scale cancellation buybacks represent substantial long-term benefits.
💎 Summary and trading strategy
This is not a "full bull market" signal but a "defensive counterattack" signal.
· Market level: In the short term (such as the next one or two weeks), this policy clearly supports the index floor, especially stabilizing the continuously falling ChiNext and STAR Market indices, reducing the risk of systemic market crashes.
· Stock selection strategy: Funds will likely focus next on "newly listed + break-issue price + high cash flow" targets. You can prioritize screening tech companies that have been listed less than six months, have fallen below their issue price, have abundant cash on hand (cash > 20% of market cap), and have recently announced supportive buybacks.
Reminder: A policy floor does not equal a market bottom. If macro liquidity (such as US Treasury yields) continues to suppress or domestic economic data disappoints, buybacks can only temporarily relieve individual stock distress and cannot reverse the macro trend of the broader market. Long positions on rebounds still require strict position and stop-loss control.Migo first clarifies the timeline: The US October nonfarm payrolls won't be released tonight; it's actually scheduled for 9:30 PM Beijing time on November 6. What we're discussing now is actually the cold data from September plus expectations for October, so don't be misled by the headline.
The September data was indeed weak: only 29,000 new jobs added, unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, average hourly earnings increased by just 0.1% month-over-month and about 3.0% year-over-year, and companies are clearly slowing down hiring. The market's expectation for October is roughly 55,000 to 60,000 new jobs, with unemployment holding around 4.2%, which is not strong—just a stabilization.
But Migo's judgment is straightforward: a cooling job market doesn't mean rate cuts are on the table. The Fed held steady in October, keeping rates at 3.75% to 4.00%, with a 10-2 vote; the two dissenters wanted to raise rates directly since inflation is still far from the 2% target. Currently, the market is pricing in over an 80% chance of a rate hike in December. The debate is about whether to hike or not, not about cutting.
For trading, Migo gives three tips: First, don't heavily bet on direction before 9:30 PM on November 6; expect volatility once the data is out. Second, focus on the three key indicators: new jobs, unemployment rate, and hourly earnings. Only if new jobs are near zero and unemployment spikes above 4.4% can it be considered truly cold data. Third, BTC is still hovering above $77,000; don't panic sell on bad data—keep positions light and use stop losses. What do you guys think? For the November 6 nonfarm report, should Migo focus first on new jobs, or on unemployment and hourly earnings? Let's discuss in the comments. #美国10月非农前瞻：就业增长或牵动12月加息预期 #伊朗授权政府谈判，霍尔木兹重开能否提速？
The boss has something to say
There is new progress in the Middle East situation. The Iranian president stated that the Supreme Leader has authorized advancing peace talks, and Qatar proposed a three-day confidence-building plan. Trump also expressed that Iran hopes to reach an agreement and is not in a hurry to decide whether to resume military strikes.
But I think it's not that simple. Both sides have yet to achieve substantial breakthroughs; the previous "two-day reopening plan" is still stuck on lifting the blockade and sanctions.
Looking at the market is clear: oil prices have not dropped at all. Today, CL rose 1.10%, BZ rose 1.08%. Comments are insightful; negotiations are prone to reversals, and shipping recovery is slower than the market's one-time pricing. Moreover, the Strait's navigation has not yet returned to normal; crude oil supply is limited and shipping costs are high, which is the hard logic supporting oil prices.
So don't be fooled by negotiation signals. As long as the Strait is not fully navigable, oil prices won't come down. Inflation expectations won't cool down, the Fed's room for rate cuts is locked, and the ceiling for risk assets remains.
BTC is now fluctuating between 77,000 and 80,000, with funds waiting for data. Let's see if it can stand back above 80,000. If it can't hold, expect deeper corrections, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Don't chase the rise or kill the fall; set stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC The most fragile link has never been the price, but the person being chased by the liquidation line. With a 25x leverage bill, do you think the market sympathizes first or harvests first? Last night, I saw an elder brother's ETH long position being taken away, and my heart skipped a beat. 2,725 ETH, about 6.15 million USD, 25x full position, opened at 2263, liquidated at 2227. The numbers look like a string of cold, icy coordinates, but behind them is a person staring at the screen, watching the liquidation price inch closer with a suffocating feeling. More subtly, after he fell, someone on the CORE side insisted on taking the opposite position. This "you liquidate, I profit" scene actually explains the current market structure better than candlesticks. What I want to emphasize is not who loses or gains, but the pricing logic revealed by this event. The space from 2263 to 2227 is only 36 dollars; 25x leverage means a price fluctuation of about 1.4% can decide life or death. What does this position density indicate? It shows that many people are using extremely narrow tolerance to bet on one direction, rather than trading trends. When the market is filled with such "barely surviving" positions, the price often doesn't need to truly fall; just a slight poke, and the chain liquidation will complete the rest of the work by itself. The bullish path is also here: if ETH can hold above 2250 and quickly recover to 2300, this batch of liquidated leverage will instead become fuel. Short covering combined with FOMO funds will cause the rebound to be sharper than expected. The altcoin side will be more obvious; once risk appetite warms up, targets like CORE with contrarian narratives are easily used by short-term funds as an emotional outlet. But the risk is equally clear. 25 The real transmission of the midterm elections: not "bullish or bearish," but a "legislative window"
The market tends to simplify the midterm elections as "which party winning is better for BTC," but the real impact path is more indirect.
The dominant force in short-term pricing remains macro liquidity and ETF funds. Bitcoin's sensitivity to congressional control is lower than that of assets like DeFi and stablecoins, which rely more on legislative clarity. The midterm elections change the composition of the next Congress, thereby affecting the political arithmetic of market structure legislation such as the CLARITY Act when it restarts in 2027, rather than directly determining short-term capital flows.
Historical patterns provide a reference that needs to be discounted: in the 12 months following the last three midterm elections (2014, 2018, 2022), Bitcoin rose approximately +25%, +45%, and +92%, respectively, but in the weeks immediately after each vote, it first fell for a period. DWF Labs also points out that 2026 is a cycle exception—the price is closer to the peak, possibly bottomed in June, so the applicability of historical patterns needs to be adjusted downward.
The market state before the election precisely confirms the "no one dares to bet": the sideways movement is not due to a balance of bulls and bears, but because no one is willing to bet the day before the election. If a direction is to be chosen, it will most likely be after November 4. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国10月非农前瞻：就业增长或牵动12月加息预期 Bitcoin enters a US data double-header with its downtrend intact, and the calendar itself is becoming the trade. A minor nonfarm payrolls reading lands Wednesday, with the main report following Friday. That sequencing matters: two labor prints in one week give macro traders two separate chances to reprice December rate expectations, and crypto's most liquid pairs sit directly in the firing line. $BTC remains in a downtrend, with the 72,000-74,000 zone still the downside reference. The debate amoIntel Earnings Report: Q3 revenue approximately $16.5 billion, strong growth in data center/AI business, actual performance better than some expectations. However, Q4 guidance is only $15–16 billion, adjusted EPS about $0.25, and the company expects no positive free cash flow this year.
Stock Price Reaction: On October 30, the stock dropped nearly 29% in a single day, and on November 2, it fell about 9% again to around $60. From the high at the end of September, market capitalization has roughly halved. Previously, due to optimistic demand for AI server CPUs, the stock price had risen sharply within the year.
Sector Spread: Since October 6, chip and storage stocks have collectively lost about $3.7 trillion in market value. Micron, AMD, Marvell, and storage-related stocks have fallen more; Nvidia has been relatively resilient, but the overall sector remains under pressure. On that day, most stocks in the US market rose, but chips almost all declined.
In the short term, this is a sell-off driven by "expectation gap," not a comprehensive deterioration of fundamentals.
Intel's core contradiction is: strong AI data center demand, but weak traditional PC business, coupled with supply disruptions such as the Israel factory incident and high capital expenditures. The market had priced in the "AI-driven CPU recovery" story too fully, and a weak guidance triggered a sharp correction. This is similar to the "sell news" reaction of some AI-related stocks in 2024–2025.
At the sector level, this is a partial correction after a period of frenzied gains. Chip stock valuations are already very high, combined with concerns about the sustainability of AI capital expenditures, interest rate environment, and memory supply-demand imbalance, funds are choosing to take profits.
$INTC ETH remains volatile: election results unclear, Iran situation adds fuel to the fire
Currently, ETH faces not just a single negative factor but simultaneous political and geopolitical risks. The U.S. midterm elections are underway, with the House needing 218 seats and the Senate 51 seats to form a majority; the final control may not be decided on election day. Market expectations for policy direction therefore have room for repeated adjustments.
The Middle East situation also cannot be ignored. According to the Associated Press, the U.S. has warned regional allies to prepare for possible military actions against Iran after the election and potential Iranian retaliation; the UK's Financial Times recently reported that Israel is pushing the U.S. to resume strikes on Iran, but Trump has not made a final decision, and diplomatic negotiations are ongoing.
These two types of risks may transmit to the crypto market through the dollar, oil prices, inflation expectations, and global risk appetite. My approach is: avoid chasing price moves based on news pulses, reduce leverage, and wait for ETH to break out or fall below key ranges before judging direction. The more intense the news flow, the more trading discipline must lead over emotion. $ETH #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $ETH outperformed $BTC by 0.41 percentage points in the last 24 hours.
My first reaction wasn’t excitement, but to confirm: is this a market rebound, or are a few contracts stealing the spotlight?
① As of now, among the top 5 by 24h trading volume, $ETH rose -0.80%, at 2270; $BTC -1.21%. The volume threshold limits the observation scope, so don’t treat this list as a thermometer for the entire market.
② The leading gainers are $BTC -1.21%, $HYPE -1.68%, $SOL -1.81%. $ETH’s strength didn’t synchronize with these assets, appearing more like a local standout rather than a broad rally.
③ $ZEC -7.39%, differing from $ETH by 6.59 percentage points. Such a large gap at both ends of the observation window means focusing only on the top can overlook volatility at the bottom.
My judgment: this is useful for identifying divergence but not enough to confirm an overall rebound. The list provides trading volume but not changes in liquidity, so the quality of the rise is still unclear.
When looking at these gain/loss lists, do you focus most on the percentage change, relative strength to BTC, or changes in trading volume? Let’s discuss in the comments #币圈The most challenging aspect for ETH recently is not the lack of direction, but the multitude of variables influencing that direction. The U.S. midterm elections are underway, and control of Congress could change the fiscal battles, regulatory agenda, and policy advancement pace for the next two years. Reuters pointed out that the House race is drawing attention, while the Senate competition remains highly uncertain; even if control of Congress changes, the president still retains executive power and veto rights, so policies will not immediately or completely shift. On another front, the situation in the Middle East is equally significant. Iran's Supreme Leader recently stated that if attacked, Iran's response would not be limited to a specific geographic area; the U.S. has also warned regional allies to prepare for possible military actions and Iranian retaliation after the elections. On November 3, Brent crude oil rose 1.7% to $106.58 per barrel, with geopolitical risks already starting to impact the energy market. These two risk lines affect ETH differently: elections mainly influence policy expectations and institutional participation confidence, while geopolitical conflicts may affect capital allocation through oil prices, inflation expectations, and global risk appetite. If energy prices continue to rise, concerns about maintaining high interest rates may also resurface, and as a risk asset, ETH can hardly remain completely unaffected. Therefore, I believe the most important thing now is not to guess whether the next piece of news will make ETH rise or fall, but to observe whether the price can hold steady after the news impact, whether trading volume supports it, and whether capital flows back in. When macro variables are dense, chasing gains or cutting losses can easily come at a cost. Control leverage, reduce positions, wait for uncertainties to gradually be digested, then look for opportunities US Midterm Elections Impact Crypto Market: BTC Watches Macros, ETH Focuses More on Regulation?
Today, the US midterm elections are officially underway. Changes in congressional control may affect the legislative pace for the crypto industry over the next two years. However, this does not mean the election results will directly determine BTC and ETH price movements next year.
The crypto industry has already invested about $176 million in this cycle, covering over 100 congressional races. Such large-scale political investment aims not only for short-term policy support but also to build long-term, bipartisan legislative alliances.
ETH deserves special attention. The market structure bill, the CLARITY Act, involves the regulatory boundaries of digital assets and the division of responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC, directly impacting compliance expectations for trading platforms, staking, and on-chain financial services. But whether ETH is classified as a security cannot be decided solely by one bill or election outcome. The bill previously failed to advance in a Senate procedural vote by 49 to 50 and will require further bipartisan negotiation.
My judgment is: elections influence policy expectations, but the real change in industry valuation comes from legislation implementation and institutional capital flows. In the short term, it is unwise to bet on a single election result; control your positions and wait for policy signals and market capital to jointly confirm the direction. $BTC #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Behind ZEC's decline, the real danger is not the drop itself, but how leverage changes.
When trading ZEC, you can't just focus on the price. On November 2nd, ZEC spot ETF saw a net outflow of $3.6 million in a single day, marking two consecutive trading days of outflows; however, there was still a net inflow of about $12.1 million over the past 7 days, indicating a divergence in capital and that it’s too early to simply conclude that institutional buying has dried up.
Derivative data is even more worth watching: ZEC open interest is about $2.34 billion, down 3.94% over the past two days. This suggests a contraction of existing positions rather than a large-scale addition of shorts. The price decline combined with a drop in open interest implies that deleveraging may be underway.
Next, focus on the $1100 level. If it breaks down with increased volume and open interest rises again, then beware of a new leverage-driven acceleration of the downtrend; if open interest continues to fall, it may just be ongoing position liquidation. My approach is not to blindly short now, but to wait for a resonance signal from price, volume, and open interest. Opportunities are important, but the basis for entry is even more important. $BTC $ETH #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ SOL fell below 94, and my altcoin positions gave out before BTC did.
Reviewing this morning's ETF data, the clearer it gets.
BTC is struggling around 76,000, with a single-day ETF outflow of 643 million; ETH is barely holding at 2,250, with ETF outflows for five consecutive days, 156 million in a single day; SOL is the most direct, at 93.29, losing 95 support, with ETF outflows for five consecutive days totaling 71.5 million, and a recent single-day outflow of 10.74 million.
I don't hold much BTC, altcoins make up the majority of my positions. This data translates to one sentence: money is shrinking into BTC, ETH is barely holding, and liquidity is being drained from SOL and altcoins. If a rebound really comes, the leaders will recover first, not my positions. Maybe feeling uneasy

A full year of gains after the midterm elections in history. I believe the direction must be up.
Historically, in the 12 months after the midterm elections, BTC rose three times, about +25%, +45%, +92% respectively. But in the weeks after each vote, it first fell for a while. This time BTC is about 76,700, still 3,000 short of 80,000, short-term grinding is highly probable
$ETH about 2,250, still falling in 24 hours. ETH needs extra verification of capital flow recovery, it can't take off right after the election ends. I don't hold ETH, but watching the 2,200 level, breaking it is an opportunity, not a disaster
$SNDK pre-market up over 2% to 1,102, storage chip stocks are rebounding. The AI capital expenditure narrative is not dead, SanDisk is the most direct ticket on this line, if fiscal expectations warm after the election, it will react before the crypto circle
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ @你的爱播Misa As of November 3, 2026, I believe Bitcoin still carries a short-term risk of further decline, and it cannot yet be confirmed that the bottom has been reached. In the coming days, I lean towards a cautious bearish view but do not rule out a strong rebound.
I analyze from three aspects: technicals, capital flow, and possible upcoming trends.
Market data as of November 3:
* BTC price: approximately $76,400.
* Past 24 hours: down about 2.2%.
* Past 7 days: down about 3.6%.
* From the 2025 all-time high of $126,080, it has retraced about 39%.
The market is clearly weak at the moment.
Why do I think it might continue to fall?
I believe there are four important reasons.
1. Continuous outflow of ETF funds
U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs:
* Net outflow of about $643 million on October 30.
* Net outflow of about $399 million on November 2.
This indicates that institutional funds have not formed a sustained buying force currently.
This is a signal I am quite concerned about.
2. Market confidence is hit
The recent Binance security incident has triggered market concerns, raising investors' risk aversion.
3. Leverage funds still pose risks
There have been long liquidations in the market, indicating some investors are still using leverage to buy the dip.
If prices fall again, it may trigger a new round of cascading liquidations.
4. Technical trend has not truly strengthened yet
Bitcoin is still under short-term selling pressure and has not yet formed a clear reversal structure.【Tether Holds 150,000 $BTC, Corporate Accumulation Begins to Carry Weight】
Tether's CEO stated that the company's Bitcoin holdings have reached about 150,000 BTC, valued at approximately $11.5 billion at current prices, accounting for about 0.75% of Bitcoin's circulating supply. A single company holding this much BTC is continuously converting circulating market chips into long-term reserves.
Tether has the capacity to keep buying, backed by solid profits. The company’s net operating profit reached $1.5 billion in Q3, totaling $4.5 billion in the first three quarters, and as early as 2023, it decided to allocate up to 15% of realized net operating profits to purchase BTC. This means its buying power is sustainable, not solely dependent on short-term market trends, adding a heavyweight player to the corporate holding sector.
However, BTC is still hovering around $77,000, and on November 2, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of about $399 million, indicating institutional funds have not yet formed a short-term consensus. Tether’s long-term allocation and the ETF’s short-term capital flows are clearly moving in different directions at present.
The long-term accumulation of 150,000 BTC means further reduction in circulating supply; if other companies follow suit, the supply-side impact will gradually accumulate. Short-term, market capital needs to return, but in the long run, Tether is using its profits to provide sustained buying support for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's timing window is becoming very subtle.
Looking back at the timing of previous cycle bottoms:
2014: 71 days after the midterm elections
2018: 39 days after the midterm elections
2022: 13 days after the midterm elections
The next midterm election is today.#US October Nonfarm Payrolls Released: Is There Still a Chance for a Rate Cut? Regarding shorting the Nasdaq, I'm not bearish on tech; I just feel that this market tells its stories too fast, and the ledger can't keep up with the delivery speed.
This week is nonfarm payroll week. Once the data is out, rate cuts will likely be postponed further, possibly until next year when the calendar is worn out and we still haven't seen one. So recently, I've been focused on one thing: "physically cooling down" the Nasdaq.
The three-layer joke logic is as follows:
1) The AI story burns cash faster than it makes money
Hundreds of billions in capital expenditure poured in, like renting an entire floor of a data center in Las Vegas.
Looking back at the revenue side: still the same advertising fees, plus some cloud subscriptions.
Spend 100, earn 4, but the market prices it as "earning 100 next year, going public on another planet the year after."
This isn't investing; it's handing out bonuses for PowerPoint presentations.
2) Interest rates don't cooperate; the denominator is colder than before
US Treasury yields hang high overhead, rate cuts delayed again and again.
Growth stocks rely on "bringing tomorrow's cash flow to the present to pamper,"
But when the discount denominator tightens, valuations kneel first—like buying a phone on installments, suddenly the interest doubles, and you rush to sell the phone on a secondhand market overnight.Profit halved, yet the stock price is the only one rising among the seven giants.🤨🤨

Then, he posted the tweet.
He is Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX.

A few days later, he sold over 22 million USD worth of coins.
Today, he continues tweeting bearish:

How long will it stay weak?
Until the Federal Reserve or banks start printing money again.
Let's get the order clear:
Sell first, then talk bearish.
Words can be said casually,
but wallets don't lie.
Why does he dare say this?
This year, the USD supply increased by 4.5%.
But the leader hasn't started.
The Fed hasn't printed money, and banks haven't lent out.
The liquidity is in the pool but hasn't flowed into crypto.
The market is playing out like this:
Global money supply hit a record high.
Bitcoin, however, fell back to two months ago.
More money, but coins don't rise.
It's not money that's lacking.
What's missing is the printing press restarting.
So don't try to guess the bottom now.
Just focus on one signal:
The Fed's balance sheet expanding again.
Here's the key point:
The day the printing press opens the floodgates.
Before that, it's all grinding.
Grinding until you can't hold on,
grinding until you can't resist chasing highs.
Wait for the signal to light up, then talk about bottom fishing. Apple's report card is mixed: revenue of $114.477 billion, up 12% year-over-year; earnings per share of $2.10, up 14%; iPhone up 17%, Mac up 24%, and service revenue hitting a record $31.6 billion — all surpassing market expectations. However, the guidance for the next quarter is softer: revenue growth of 7% to 10%, service growth of 8% to 9%, and gross margin of 45% to 46%. Service growth is lower than this quarter's 10%, and gross margin is below this quarter's 47.9%, causing the stock to drop more than 4% in pre-market trading. The problem is not on the demand side, but on the cost side. Management was very straightforward: memory prices are unprecedented, procurement commitments are about $33 billion more than the June quarter, and full-year R&D spending is $45.765 billion, up 32.5% year-over-year. Siri's AI is called 2.5 billion times daily, and the cloud inference bill has grown so large that they are considering incorporating it into subscription fees. This is not about phones not selling; it's the "AI tax" pushing costs up from the bottom of the cost sheet. Political experts' view: this earnings report landed two days before the midterm elections, and tech stocks have collectively taken a hit, with the S&P down 0.5% and the Nasdaq down 1.1%. Companies that beat expectations are being sold off, indicating sellers are not looking at the profit statement but are freeing up positions. At times like this, who is selling and why is far more important than the earnings numbers. From a financial expert's perspective, this chain needs to be clearly understood: as AI capital expenditure rises, memory and computing power prices increase, tech companies' costs eat into profit margins, while the denominator of valuation — the real interest rate — has not dropped at all. The numerator is being squeezed first,Gold $XAU has some data today that's quite worth studying🤨
The World Gold Council just released its Q3 report, cutting this year's gold investment demand growth forecast from 400 tons directly down to 200 tons
But on the other hand, global central banks net bought 321 tons of gold in Q3, a 42% year-on-year increase, and gold ETFs also recorded a net inflow of 211 tons😯
Here we see a big contrast:
Ordinary investors' enthusiasm for buying gold bars and coins has clearly cooled, yet central banks and ETF funds are still continuously allocating to gold
Especially central bank gold purchases, which have reached 675 tons in the first three quarters of this year, even surpassing the same period last year
I think this report reflects a divergence in gold demand structure:
High interest rates and a strong dollar do suppress some investment demand, but reserve diversification, fiscal risks, and macro uncertainty still support another segment of buying
Of course, heavy central bank buying doesn't necessarily mean short-term gold prices will rise
What’s really worth watching next is whether ETF funds can continue to flow in, and whether central bank purchases can offset the slowdown in private investment demand

Analysis of the closing markets in South Korea, Hong Kong, and A-shares: The same AI, South Korean stocks are cutting losses, while Hong Kong and A-shares are shifting pockets
The semiconductor sector fell more than 3.3% overnight, with Intel, Micron, and Marvell continuing to take hits; this sentiment has yet to subside in today's Asian session.
South Korean stocks took the direct hit.
KOSPI closed at 5648.79, down 3.59%; KOSDAQ was even worse, down 4.08%. Foreign investors net sold 1.52 trillion KRW, institutions dumped another 511.8 billion KRW, while individuals bought 1.66 trillion KRW, a typical "foreign capital withdrawal, retail investors holding on hard" scenario. Samsung Electronics dropped 4.15%, SK Hynix fell 5.03%, with semiconductor heavyweights hit hard by the US AI hardware sell-off.
Hong Kong stocks took a different path.
The Hang Seng Index closed at 23,525, up 0.57%, with southbound funds net buying HKD 23.4 billion, ending 14 consecutive trading days of net outflows. But the structure was very fragmented: AI hardware and optical communications were heavily sold, with Zhongji Xuchuang down over 10%, Lenovo down over 6%; the beneficiaries were big consumer and insurance stocks, with Haidilao up over 6%, Mengniu and China Resources Beer up over 4%, and China Pacific Insurance up over 4%.
A-shares followed the same script.
The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.82% to close at 3608, with turnover shrinking to 1.72 trillion CNY. The index looked weak, but there was rotation underneath. Electronics saw a net outflow of 8.7 billion CNY, with semiconductors and memory chips being the hardest hit; CATL saw a net inflow of over 1.2 billion CNY, rising 3.8%; Kweichow Moutai surged nearly 3%, with a single-day net inflow of 2.2 billion CNY, approaching 1,500.BREAKING Bitcoin has a curious relationship with U.S. midterm elections. Historically, these political events have sometimes been followed by sharp market pullbacks and traders are watching closely as voting begins.
But history is a reference, not a guarantee. This time, macro conditions, liquidity ETF flows and investor positioning could change the outcome.
I'm watching how $BTC reacts around key support levels. Will sellers take control again or will Bitcoin break the historical pattern? The parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, ICE, has signed an agreement with Trade[XYZ] to bring the Hyperliquid perpetual futures into the U.S. regulatory framework, covering crypto, stocks, commodities, and forex. On the announcement day, October 29, HYPE jumped about 13%; as of now, the approval and launch dates are still unknown, and the price has retraced from its peak.
An agreement does not mean U.S. retail can already use it. Opponents will watch closely: no CFTC approval, no clearing member list, so the paper cooperation does not support a real channel; the price surge and retracement seem more like the market digesting expectations rather than realizing new inflows.
Consider the approval progress as a gate. If no substantial filing action is seen within three months, or if the spot price continuously falls below 80 and fails to recover, treat this as a narrative boost rather than an open channel. Snapshot around 18:07 Beijing time, Binance spot about $84.4, 24h about -1.7%.
$HYPE
#Hyperliquid #PerpetualContracts #CryptocurrencyThe U.S. midterm election voting is happening today, and there's an account in the prediction market that has already staked about $7.9 million 😂
There are roughly 100 positions in total, with the majority all bet on this election. The most aggressive bet is that the Democrats will take both the House and Senate, bought at an average of $0.30 per share, now up to $0.755. The principal is about $1.14 million, with unrealized gains of around $1.73 million.
The remaining bets are much more conservative. Three positions were bought near $0.94, approximately $1.52 million, $1.42 million, and $1.29 million respectively, betting that the Republicans won't take the House or won't sweep both chambers, which are high-probability outcomes. Each of these has only earned about $10,000 so far, roughly a 6% return on over a million dollars.
There are also losses. The bet that Republicans take the Senate and Democrats take the House, with about $700,000 invested, is now worth only around $560,000.
The entire account is currently valued at about $9.1 million, with unrealized gains of approximately $1.13 million.
On the other side, it's even more exciting. A new account registered in August made its first trade today, dumping about $176,000 within 4 minutes to bet on Republicans sweeping both chambers, bought at $0.061. The market gives this outcome less than a 5% chance, so if it hits, it would roughly multiply 16 times.
On one hand, someone is risking millions to earn small returns; on the other, someone is betting $176,000 for a 16x payoff. When the results come out tomorrow Beijing time, someone definitely won't be able to sleep.

Palantir delivered its strongest revenue performance since going public in the third quarter of 2026, but the market voted with its feet.
Quarterly revenue was $2.313 billion, up 96% year-over-year and 20% quarter-over-quarter, surpassing the $2 billion mark for the first time. Adjusted operating income was $1.427 billion, with a margin of 62%; GAAP net income was $1.128 billion, a net margin of 49%, nearly eight times the $144 million from the same period last year. More notably, there was a structural shift: U.S. commercial revenue reached $984 million, up 148% year-over-year, surpassing U.S. government business revenue of $953 million for the first time in a single quarter. The commercial business has transformed from a past "supplement" to the "main engine" of the U.S. market. The full-year revenue guidance was raised accordingly to between $8.53 billion and $8.534 billion, an increase of about 91% year-over-year.
However, after-hours trading saw the stock price drop about 3.8% to $171.52; it had already closed down 3.08% during regular trading hours. An almost flawless earnings report was met with selling.
The reason lies not in the numbers themselves, but in how those numbers were priced. 【Capital Flow Daily Report】Past 24 Hours

Data is verifiable, does not constitute trading advice.Funding markets are telling a quieter story than price charts. $BTC is still bleeding leverage, yet the perpetual funding rate refuses to turn negative, with buyers continuing to pay for the privilege of holding longs. That stubborn premium matters more than any single candle: it signals that conviction, or at least stubbornness, has not been flushed out. A single $643 million daily outflow from spot ETFs sits alongside expanding derivatives positioning, a combination that looks less like capitu
