The three public chains are still bottoming out, and my account has already learned to take deep breaths 😮💨
$SOL: Don't just look at its speed. Fast speed is the ticket, but transaction fees and real users are the box office. MEME hype can bring volume, but I want to see the proportion of non-MEME transactions rise and weekly fees grow continuously; otherwise, once the hype fades, it’s just everyone digging into their own pockets again 😵
$SUI: The high-performance story sounds good, but token unlocking is like a timed alarm clock ⏰. Ecosystem expansion must be able to absorb the new supply: watch if TVL, stablecoin supply, and daily active users rise in sync; if there’s only price narrative without on-chain retention, holders remain passive.
$AVAX: Custom chains and institutional cooperation are promising, but the key is whether they can feed back into AVAX demand after landing. I will watch real subnet revenue, staking/consumption scenarios, and active addresses, not just cooperation posters 📊
Summary: Public chains are not PPTs; it’s about who can retain users, earn fees, and have tokens capture value.
Among the three, I’m temporarily betting on $SOL, but only based on data: ① weekly fees grow for 4 consecutive weeks; ② non-MEME DEX volume accounts for over 50%; ③ active address retention doesn’t rely on airdrops. If these three criteria aren’t met, I’ll keep playing dead 😑 Who do you favor most? Don’t shout for 100x, just throw some verifiable metrics 🙂A piece of news that doesn't look like financial news: Republican Congressman Thomas Massie plans to initiate an impeachment vote against Secretary of Defense Hegseth in the House, with a vote as early as next week. Multiple Republican sources expect it to pass. Trump denied any plan to fire him on Wednesday, saying Hegseth is doing a good job and also stated that if the decision to go to war were to be made again, it would be done the same way.
First, let's look at where the disagreement lies. The attack is not about personal conduct but about the decision to use force against Iran and the subsequent plans, as well as accusations that he exaggerated the prospects of a quick victory. What is actually being questioned is an entire chain of judgments: how to fight, what to do after fighting, and whether the promised expectations will be fulfilled.
Next, consider the mechanism. The political significance of an impeachment vote often outweighs the legal outcome—the House passing it does not necessarily mean someone will be removed from office. But the vote itself will expose internal party divisions and turn wartime decisions into issues that can be questioned point by point. The market prices not the outcome but the uncertainty during the process.
For the crypto market, such events do not change the fundamentals but alter risk appetite. The first reaction of funds is usually to shorten duration and reduce leverage; $BTC will be sold as a risk asset rather than bought as a safe haven; true safe-haven buying often waits until panic spreads to traditional markets.
Worth thinking about one more layer: this time it is not an external adversary making a move, but a member of the home team. How much certainty can a decision-making body that cannot even unify internal consensus provide to the market when making long-term policies? This affects positions more than the voting result. High beta assets like $ETH and $SOL always react more violently to such issues than $BTC.$BTC Bitcoin showed a significant rebound today, which is more of a recovery after the previous sharp drop rather than being directly driven by a single "major positive news." In the past few days, the market was affected successively by the Binance security incident, outflows from spot ETFs, and fluctuations in macro risk appetite. Bitcoin once fell below $76,000, facing heavy short-term selling pressure.
As the results of the U.S. midterm elections gradually became clear, concerns about policy uncertainty eased. The expectation of a Democratic sweep led some investors to reassess changes in the regulatory environment. Coupled with Bitcoin already being in a relatively oversold state, short-term short covering and bottom-fishing funds jointly propelled the rebound. Meanwhile, Binance stated that it has covered most of the affected assets, and stablecoin issuers have assisted in freezing some of the stolen funds, reducing market worries about a "systemic shock," which provided emotional support for price stabilization.
However, the current rebound should still be seen as a range-bound recovery. If the price cannot effectively break through and hold above key resistance levels, short-term volatility may continue; if it falls below recent lows again, the risk of a secondary test remains. The crypto market is highly volatile, and short-term trends are easily influenced by news and leveraged funds. The above content is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice.$BCH
Bitcoin Cash continues to represent a different interpretation of Bitcoin's original payment-focused vision. Its emphasis on relatively inexpensive transactions makes merchant acceptance and everyday usability important evaluation points. However, payment adoption faces competition from stablecoins and established financial infrastructure. Network reliability alone is not enough; actual recurring economic activity ultimately matters.Empty, empty, empty, brothers
Shorting ETH now is not just a reckless call for a crash; the market structure is handing out knives in this direction. The price is stuck around 2,430, the daily downtrend structure hasn't been repaired at all, and 2,450–2,485 is a solid hard resistance. After continuous sharp rises on the 4-hour chart, RSI is overbought, and the momentum for chasing longs is visibly fading.
What's even more frustrating is the leverage structure. Retail long accounts make up over 70%, and funding rates on most platforms are still positive. The bulls are holding floating losses while paying the bears, and this "refusing to admit defeat" stance itself is fuel. 2,431 is the liquidation line for high-leverage long positions of major players, and 2,299 is the liquidation price pressure from whales. Once these two levels are broken, chained liquidations can tear open the space below. On the ETF side, BlackRock withdrew 1.4 billion in October, institutional channels are still bleeding, the rebound lacks spot buying support, and the short-covering-driven rally won't go far.
The idea is simple: follow the trend after breaking 2,431, add positions when the rebound meets resistance at 2,450–2,485, first watch 2,360–2,330 below, and if 2,300 breaks, it opens a deeper space. The only thing to guard against is sudden large counter-trend buying by whales around 2,279. Stop loss should be set above 2,500; don't hold losing positions.
Anyway, the bears have a promising future!!!Brothers, BTC and ETH were pulled up by the US midterm election results, but the driving force wasn't spot buying, it was shorts getting liquidated
$BTC $80,700 |$ETH $2,426
Bitcoin rebounded in a V-shape from the low of 75,618 back above 80,700, Ethereum rose from around 2,280 to 2,426, up over 6% in 24 hours. In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations of $822 million, with shorts accounting for $511 million, or 62%. Shorts were massively liquidated after the election results were finalized.
The trigger for this rebound was the removal of political uncertainty. The Democrats took control of both houses of Congress, easing market anxiety over the election results. The New York stock market saw the Dow Jones rise 3%, the Nasdaq up 1.4%, and the renewed risk appetite drove a synchronous rebound in crypto. About $378 million in crypto shorts were liquidated within an hour, accounting for 81% of total liquidations in that period. Short squeezes were the main fuel for this rally.
However, institutional funds are still flowing out. The US Bitcoin spot ETF saw net outflows of $1.16 billion over the last three trading days, Ethereum ETFs had outflows of $85.35 million on the same days, with BlackRock's ETHA leading redemptions. Prices are rising, ETFs are selling, two groups doing opposite things.
Technically, BTC's 80,000 is a psychological level just reclaimed; holding it could lead to testing 82,000. ETH has stood above 2,400, with 2,370-2,390 as a pullback observation zone.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $UNI hacker dumped the market hard, forcibly turning the exchange into the biggest obvious long position on the board.
The hacker has already sold all the stolen 7 million+ UNI at an average price of 5.65 into ETH. Now it gets interesting: withdrawals are still closed, and the spot market gap is glaringly obvious.
For the platform to resume operations, it has no choice but to obediently go to the secondary market and buy back all the missing tokens.
This means the hacker has cleared the selling pressure all at once, and what follows is a forced, rigid buyback to fill the gap. Shorts dumping further now just hand cheap chips to those below who must survive and meet their obligations.

👇$FIL FIL has a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, yet the entire network's real daily storage revenue is only 4 yuan.
This model itself is a deadlock. Miners have to dump the coins back into the market because electricity and server hardware costs must be settled in fiat currency. The more the business runs, the heavier the selling pressure from service providers cashing out.
Now the daily chart has directly fallen back to the 0.80 starting point, wiping out all the profits from bottom-fishing a few days ago. Relying purely on the secondary market to cover the rigid expenses of mining farms, bleeding and pumping like this every day, the bulls simply can't hold on.

👇A bearish candle with 258 lots, six times more than the combined volume of the previous and next candles.
At 20:00, the price dropped from 297.25 to 278.33, closing at 280.38, marking the lowest point of the day within this hour. At 22:00, it recovered to 296.67 with 109 lots, just 0.58 away from the starting point. At 23:00, only 33 lots were used to give back the price from 290.33 to 285.96.

It took half the volume to push it up, but only a third to fail to hold — it’s not a buyback, it’s that no one is stopping it.
The following eight candles had volumes of 34/8/24/42/68/65/18/62 lots, with prices ranging between 285.83 and 294.00, and the MA20 at 290.28 pressing in the middle.
Current price is 289.76, up 0.29%. The total market volume in 24 hours is 1172 lots. This line is formed by price spread matching, not by pattern.
Only one remains: a rebound between 292.5 and 294.0 fails, with a 1H bearish candle with volume (≥ 80 lots). Short at 293.0, stop loss at 296.8. The move down to 285.83 has only 1.5 times the risk-reward, which is insufficient. Must wait for a volume-backed break below 285.83, then short on a rebound between 287 and 288.5, stop loss at 291.5, target 278.33, risk-reward 3.0.
If it can’t break 285.83, it won’t move.

【Hardcore Review of this "Bottomless Pit"】:
Looking at the 15-minute chart, AKE directly crashed to 0.00245, another 13% plunge, halving twice in 7 days (-88%)! The moving averages are in a waterfall-like bearish alignment, and the MACD is completely flat underwater. This kind of trend has no decent rebound at all, purely a "dull knife cutting flesh."
【Unique Insights and Data Battle】:
Switching to Chart 1 data, I laughed coldly: it’s fallen into this mess, yet bullish accounts still hold as high as 69.24%! Retail investors are still crazily catching falling knives, trying to bottom fish. With these stubborn heads backing down there, the manipulative whales definitely won’t pump it up; they will thoroughly wash them out.
【My Advice】:
I entered a high short position at 0.00265, now firmly setting a breakeven stop loss and letting the profit run. This kind of penny stock that’s dropped 90% has its bottom in the eighteenth level of hell; don’t blindly go long. Let’s just ride the trend and take some short-side profits, friends, sit back and watch the show!#US Midterm Elections: Democrats Gain Control of Both Houses of Congress
$BTC $XAU What Does the Democrats Taking Both Houses Mean for the Market?
The results of this midterm election are finalized. After the power split, Trump's plans for large-scale tax cuts and fiscal expansion will find it difficult to pass smoothly in Congress. Expectations for fiscal stimulus have cooled, the market anticipates a marginal easing of U.S. debt supply pressure, U.S. Treasury yields are declining, and the appeal of interest-free assets like gold is rising accordingly.
Going forward, budget approvals and debt ceiling negotiations will become focal points of bipartisan contention, easily leading to stalemates, deadlocks, or even government shutdown risks. Political uncertainty is rising, and safe-haven funds are flowing into gold, directly driving this wave of gold price increases.
But boundaries must be clear: the president still retains veto power; administrative authorities like tariffs and diplomacy can be independently executed by the president and will not be directly reversed due to Congress changing hands; overturning a presidential veto requires a two-thirds vote in both houses, which is currently unlikely, making disruptive policies difficult to emerge.
The differentiation logic for major asset classes:
✅ Gold: Supported by the dual benefits of reduced fiscal expansion expectations and risk premium from political deadlock; however, this is a trade-driven market—if the two parties quickly reach an agreement without a shutdown, the risk premium will quickly fade, likely resulting in buying on expectations and selling on facts.
✅ USD & U.S. Treasuries: Weakened fiscal stimulus expectations suppress Treasury yields, putting pressure on the dollar and benefiting precious metals.
Key reminder: The election is just a bonus factor; the main storyline remains the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike expectations and employment data. Tonight's ADP small nonfarm payrolls and Friday's nonfarm payrolls.Why are traditional US stocks generally soaring, while tech stocks continue to plummet? Yesterday, many friends, seeing the surge in traditional US stocks, preemptively invested in popular tech stocks like NVDA, AAOI, SNDK, MU, only to find that despite the overall optimistic market, these tech stocks kept falling.
There are two main reasons: First, after the recent election, Texas announced it would stop building new data centers, citing excessive consumption of electricity and water resources, which severely impacted the entire AI supply chain, as Texas accounts for 30% of the US market. Second, recently, many investors have stopped buying just because "companies are actively investing in AI" and have started to strictly scrutinize "after burning so much money, when will actual profits and returns be seen?" Therefore, those with high debt and only hype but no cash flow were the first to be sold off.
In the face of absolute sentiment, don’t bet on a market reversal; losing once at any time comes at a huge cost.
#NVDA #MU #SNDKHelios and Venice mass production, AMD's next phase is a battle for the supply chain
AMD management stated that as the scale of Helios and Venice products expands, data center revenue growth is expected to further accelerate in Q4. Data center revenue in Q3 has already reached $8.5 billion, a year-over-year increase of 97%.
I believe the market should focus next not on the specs announced at product launches, but on whether mass production can be completed on schedule, whether deliveries to major customers can be met, and the stability of the entire server solution.
AI training and inference require the joint cooperation of GPU, CPU, memory, network, optical communication, and power. Any bottleneck in any link could delay revenue recognition.
This is also why I pay attention to the integration of AMD and the optical communication industry. For networks like $ETH and $SOL, upgrades to computing infrastructure may bring more applications, but token demand still needs independent verification.
Product leadership is the starting point; scale delivery is the key to commercialization.
#AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期 #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 #CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% $TRUMP Why did Bitcoin rise while Trump Coin plummeted?
There are several main reasons.
1. Midterm election results became a direct negative factor
After the U.S. midterm elections on November 3, the Democratic Party gained control of Congress.
Market concerns:
* The Trump administration will face increased difficulty in promoting cryptocurrency policies.
* The Trump family's cryptocurrency business may face more congressional investigations.
* Trump Coin lost some of its political event hype expectations.
On November 4, TRUMP fell about 17% within 24 hours, while Bitcoin rose over 4%, and Ethereum rose about 6%.
This indicates that Trump Coin has clearly experienced independent negative pressure.
2. Trump Coin lacks actual value support
Bitcoin has institutional funds, ETFs, and long-term investment demand.
Ethereum has DeFi, stablecoins, and a smart contract ecosystem.
But Trump Coin's price relies more on:
* Trump's personal influence.
* Political event hype.
* Community sentiment.
* Market speculative funds.
When political expectations change, the withdrawal of funds is often faster than mainstream coins.
3. There is another unlocking pressure on November 18
According to the token unlocking schedule:
* Unlock date: November 18.
* Unlock quantity: about 28.69 million tokens.
* Percentage of total supply: about 2.9%.
* Recipients: internal related holders.
This means there is potential short-term selling pressure. First, to pour some cold water, "still able to advance" and "the entire crypto market benefits" are not the same thing. When I see such news, I usually start by breaking down the beneficiaries. My judgment this time is rather cautious: this seems more like policy resilience for certain businesses, not a universal positive pass for the whole industry.
CoinDesk cited expert opinions saying that even if the Democrats win big, Wall Street's push to put financial business on-chain may continue under the current legal framework, and tokenization and stablecoins might withstand the impact. I'm not rushing to get excited for two reasons: first, advancing under existing laws does not mean broader crypto regulation is already clear; the SEC and CFTC still face stricter oversight, and how long the rules will last is also questionable; second, putting financial business on-chain does not mean the related tokens can capture value. If the market directly converts business progress into token benefits, I think it overlooks how value flows back in the process.
Of course, the bulls might be right. If tokenization and stablecoins continue to be implemented, and ordinary users' demand and the value capture of related tokens can be verified, I will retract my judgment that "sentiment might be ahead of fundamentals." Don't just take "Wall Street on-chain" as the answer: based on this news, are you bullish or bearish? Explain your reasons—are you betting on business growth or on reduced regulatory uncertainty? $AKE $LAB $BEAT Comparative Analysis of the Three Coins: Different Market Logic❗️
Looking at AKE, LAB, and BEAT together, although all are in low price ranges, the distribution of chips, overhead resistance, and recovery paths differ significantly, so the same trading logic cannot be applied to all.
$AKE: Heavy overhead trapped positions, high cost of rally
The core contradiction of AKE is the accumulation of historical long positions, with high-level chips not yet fully circulated. For the main force to restart an uptrend, a large amount of capital is needed to absorb selling pressure. In the short term, beware of a "pump and dump" trap: a small rebound attracts follow-up traders, then chips continue to be distributed. Conditions for a trend reversal are insufficient.
$LAB: Overhead pressure in the millions, reversal still requires waiting
LAB is also constrained by a heavy trapped structure, with obvious locked positions above. Currently, it looks more like a weak recovery after overselling rather than a confirmed bottom. If chips are not fully cleaned and exchanged, the probability of a secondary decline after the rebound remains high. The rebound can be seen as an arbitrage window and should not be directly equated with a reversal.
$BEAT: Relatively advantageous structure, but momentum still lacking
BEAT is the healthiest among the three: few historical trapped positions, light overhead selling pressure, and relatively sufficient shakeout. The shortcoming is the lack of strong bearish release and incremental capital driving it. So far, only weak rebound recovery is seen, with short-term consolidation as the main trend, and the upward space has not truly opened.
Overall, AKE and LAB focus on digesting trapped positions, while BEAT focuses on waiting for incremental #CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% The counting of the U.S. midterm elections is nearing completion, and the latest odds from Polymarket show the Democratic Party's probability of taking the House has risen to 95%, with about a 77% chance of winning the Senate. The "blue wave" is now difficult to reverse.
Among the three scenarios previously outlined, the market now tends to bet on a split result: the House returning to Democratic control while the Senate remains deadlocked. This may not be bad news for the crypto market: Democrats generally favor a clear regulatory framework rather than an outright ban, and bills like CLARITY may actually have a window for advancement.
Capital is also reacting in advance. A manager from Integrity Asset Management said the market is gearing up for a "relief rally" after the election—plainly put, once political uncertainty settles, cautious funds will dare to re-enter. This is one reason BTC rebounded to around 78,000 this morning: the boot is about to drop, and risk appetite moves first. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 #AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期 [Republican Party suffers crushing defeat in midterm elections, $TRUMP can't even sustain its political aura]
On November 4th, the results of the U.S. midterm elections were announced, with the Democratic Party taking control of both the House and Senate, dealing a major blow to the Republican Party. Trump's political influence was also significantly impacted. TRUMP immediately faced sell-offs, with its price dropping to around 1.22, a nearly 20% decline in 24 hours, hitting a new low since issuance. This outcome is a solid narrative blow for TRUMP holders.
On October 28th, it was still around 1.73, rebounded to 1.72 on November 1st, then weakened continuously. After the election results were announced, it further plunged with increased volume, falling over 25% by the 7th. Data from CoinGlass and derivatives monitoring show a clear contraction in open interest, funding rates deeply negative, and about $3.8 million long positions liquidated in the past 24 hours. Contract trading far exceeds spot trading; this round of decline is accompanied by obvious deleveraging, with shorts starting to take the lead.
TRUMP also lacks new demand to carry forward the political narrative. Highly dependent on Trump's personal influence, political events, and community sentiment, with the Democrats taking Congress, market expectations for Trump's future policy-driving power naturally decline. Additionally, with a total token supply of 1 billion and about 282 million currently circulating, future supply releases remain a long-term suppressive factor.
A wild guess: before Trump steps down, $TRUMP might still have a big rally to harvest profits. Hopefully, crypto friends can stay rational.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $CL
44.04 million USD, cut off in 10 minutes, lost 4.9 million. This is a crude oil long position monitored on-chain this morning.
That address started going long on crude oil half a month ago, gradually increasing to 148 million. This week oil prices dropped 14%, with an unrealized loss of 15.08 million; unable to hold, they cut part of it. They still hold 94.79 million BRENTOIL longs, with an unrealized loss of 8.35 million, not closed yet.
On OKX, CL dropped from 96.54 to 88.02, down 8.8%, lowest at 87.21. The 1H candle at 00:00 went straight down from 92.17 to 88.57, with 5.52 million contracts traded, double the previous candle; at 01:00 another 4.94 million contracts probed 87.21. After that, volume dropped to tens of thousands of contracts over six hours, price pinned between 87.9 and 88.5.
Interestingly, OKX CL total market open interest is only 3.92 million contracts, equivalent to 390,000 barrels, 35 million USD. That guy’s single trade of 44.04 million is bigger than the entire pool. He’s not playing in this pool, but the price is the same.
Last time I saw the chart saying "it should rebound after such a drop," I bought halfway up the slope. This time I’ll first see who’s still holding before deciding whether to act.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 $BTC
JPMorgan included Bitcoin in its long-term capital market assumptions for 2027, projecting an annualized 10%. My first reaction upon seeing this was not to add positions, but that this figure doesn't match today's market.
In 24 hours, BTC rose from 77,137 to 81,200, now at 80,732, up 4.6%. But it tried twice above 81,000 and couldn't hold. Last night at 11 PM, the 1H candle touched 81,199.9 with 3 million contracts traded, the previous candle only 780,000, closing at 80,273. This morning at 6 AM it went up again to 80,941, but volume was only 378,000 contracts, then at 7 AM it retreated back to 80,466. Same level twice, volume difference of eight times.
The fee rate is 0.0074%, still below the 0.01 benchmark, perpetual contracts trade at a 5 basis point discount to spot. Open interest is 2.68 billion, similar to 2.7 billion a couple of days ago. Price rose 4.6% but leverage didn't increase; this move was shorts being squeezed out, not new money coming in.
That 10% from institutions is an annualized figure over ten years, used as a denominator in their models. They can't control who places sell orders at 81,000 tonight. If you calculate based on 10% annualized, the volatility in the first three months alone is enough to wipe out a year's gains for anyone entering now.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 At least 90% of INJ is planned for staking. Let me first do the math on this news: the yield from staking, after deducting product fees and considering the convenience of exit, is the real holding experience; it cannot be treated as free interest. This refers to the plan under normal circumstances, not a guaranteed return.
In the news, the Canary product has submitted a listing registration, Nasdaq listing application approved, ticker INJC, custodian BitGo, but it still needs the S-1 registration statement to take effect before public trading can begin. I think, for $INJ, the path of putting staking into a traditional securities account is more practically meaningful than just the word "approved," but it cannot yet be considered that funds have entered the market.
I tend to see this as a positive development at the channel level, not a price guarantee. Staking allows the product an additional source of yield and adds a layer of liquidity management challenges. My guess is, if concentrated redemptions meet with staking exit delays, how the manager arranges liquidity will affect holders' experience; since the materials do not explain these mechanisms, I won’t assume it’s already resolved.
By my habit, I still choose to be cautious: wait for registration to take effect, then look at fees and redemption arrangements; a little less excitement from rushing in is fine. Facing this ETF with a high staking ratio, would you prefer to wait for clear terms for safety, or are you willing to bear liquidity uncertainties in exchange for potential staking yields?$SNDK SanDisk took a really hard hit, dropping more than 10% within 24 hours, AXTI also fell over 10%, and the US semiconductor hardware stocks are all down today. $BTC $ETH
The core issue is that storage has been overhyped in this cycle. The earlier price increase story was too smooth, and now that marginal expectations have loosened, institutional profit-taking has collectively come out to cash in. Even Kioxia is signaling that the momentum for flash memory price increases is weakening, and consumers are starting to resist the high prices.
Additionally, with the midterm election results finalized and the Democrats taking control of both chambers, expectations for stricter tech regulation have immediately intensified, and semiconductor hardware with high valuations is the first to be hit. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Fiscal Year 2026 Q3: Revenue of $865 million, a year-over-year increase of about 16.9%. Simply put, the business scale is larger than the same period last year. Net profit of $226 million, compared to $214 million in the same period last year, a year-over-year increase of about 5.4%. Profits are rising, but slower than revenue growth. A question to keep in mind: currently, only the Q3 performance summary is available, but the detailed income statement is only updated through Q2, so it is temporarily unclear how much of the Q3 profit comes from regular operations and how much from special projects. We cannot conclude that profitability has continuously improved based solely on this net profit. Future direction? Watch whether USDC can be used more widely. If scenarios like cross-border payments and corporate settlements increase, more people hold and use USDC, the reserve scale may expand, and interest income could also increase. Watch interest rates. Circle mainly earns interest from reserves: all else equal, rate cuts will lower yields; USDC scale growth may offset some of the impact. Watch channel revenue sharing. A larger issuance scale does not necessarily mean profits increase proportionally; it also depends on how much is shared with exchanges and other channels, and how much the company retains. Outlook: Worth noting is whether "USDC usage scale growth can outpace the pressure from rate cuts and channel costs." The direction has growth potential, but it remains to be seen how much income it can ultimately convert into sustainable profit. As of November 3, 2026, the average analyst target price is about $107.56, with a low of 34 Moscow Exchange to Launch BTC/ETH/USDT on December 1: Compliance Growth Exists, But Don't Expect a Major Bull Run
Moscow Exchange will launch trading for BTC, ETH, and USDT on December 1, operating from 06:50 to 23:50 Moscow time. Clearing will be handled by the National Settlement Depository, with same-day or next-day settlement, and swap tools will be provided to manage liquidity.
Retail investors must pass a test first and can buy up to 300,000 rubles (about 3,700 USD) worth of crypto assets per year through a single broker; there is no limit for qualified investors. The outlook is neutral to slightly bullish, but there is clear divergence between bulls and bears.
Russia integrating crypto assets into mainstream securities trading infrastructure effectively opens a compliant entry channel for domestic funds, representing incremental demand for $BTC, $ETH local buy orders, and actual use cases for USDT. However, the cap on purchase limits positions it as a controlled market with limited retail quotas, making it difficult to generate a global-scale capital surge in the short term.
A further risk to watch: Moscow Exchange and the National Settlement Depository were sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury in June 2024, and since USDT is issued by Tether, which freezes wallets on sanction lists, holding USDT on this platform carries a real risk of passive freezing.
My view: Treat this as a mid-term tracking item for Russia's compliance narrative rather than a reason to chase the rally; for the USDT portion, prioritize monitoring custody and on-chain freezing paths, and do not mistake the limited quota and sanctioned channel buy orders as the main market driver.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Democrats won, the bill died, and the 80,000 mark became a "mirage" for the bulls?
The U.S. midterm elections concluded with the Democrats sweeping both chambers, and the CLARITY Act died in the cradle. The expectation of tighter regulation did not crash the market; $BTC instead rose to 80,748.5 (+0.56%), but the fuel for this rally was short covering, not spot buying. ETFs are still seeing net outflows, with sell orders buried around 81,300 USD—chasing the highs is just taking a hit.
$ETH at 2,431.01 (+0.19%) had the smallest gain. The on-chain cost line at 2,309 USD acts like a wall. ETFs have been bleeding for seven consecutive days, but whales are buying against the trend between 2,270-2,290 USD. Institutions are selling, big holders are buying; the market is extremely conflicted.
$OKB at 111.21 (+0.60%) saw OKX platform net inflows of 445 million, ranking first, yet OKB barely followed the rise. Daily trading volume shrank to a few million USD level. X Layer's gas fees do not flow back to OKB, breaking value capture. News cannot pull in real money.
Summary: The regulatory boot hasn’t dropped, but funds haven’t come in either. BTC is holding up on short covering, ETH is holding firm thanks to whales, and OKB is hanging on by its story. Which one do you think the Democrats will target first with this wave of oversight? See you in the comments!
#BTC现货ETF资金流出，企业财库增持放缓 🔍My first reaction was: entering the big bank's model is equivalent to getting a configuration pass? Don't rush to conclusions; the clue lies in the parts not included.
According to Grayscale research director Zach Pandl, JPMorgan Asset Management has incorporated Bitcoin into its 2027 long-term capital market assumptions: the benchmark compound annual return is expected to be 10% over the next decade, with an annualized volatility of 55%, and an estimated correlation of 33% with the US large-cap stocks; due to unstable correlation, it was not included in the main covariance matrix.
I judge this as research recognition, not proof of capital inflow. Entering the assumption framework facilitates institutional discussion on allocation; but 55% volatility means risk budgets are hard to relax, and the absence from the matrix also indicates doubts remain about its role in risk diversification. This is my speculation: if the correlation remains unstable, then the distance from research to allocation may be farther than the headline suggests.
I will continue to watch whether it enters the main covariance matrix. Do you think this is more critical than the 10% forecast? Let's keep an eye on the follow-up and see who guesses closer.56 million thrown at one person, and the person still came back
Yesterday's article said the money couldn't buy back the seat, and today the bill arrived: the money spent was even more than reported, and the loss was even worse than said.
The main player is Fairshake, the biggest political financier in the crypto circle. According to CoinDesk: it spent about $154 million this year, with $56 million all bet on one race in Ohio, with only one goal—to keep Brown out of the Senate. But Brown won by nearly 5 percentage points, marking Fairshake's biggest loss ever.
The losses weren't limited to that race: Stratton, whom it targeted with $10 million in the Illinois primary, won both the primary and the general election; among the 32 incumbent House members it supported, two Republican crypto allies, Steil and Huizenga, were swept away by the blue wave.
It wasn't a total loss: Ricketts, whom it spent over $11 million to support in Nebraska, held on. But the big picture is clear: the 2024 strategy of "spending money to buy yes votes" hit a wall this time.
Fairshake itself also said: it still has about $56 million left and will try again in 2028. Brown and Stratton will enter the Senate in January next year, and the first hurdle they face will be this one.#全球央行Q3购金321吨，金价为何持续承压？ $BTC $XAUT Global central banks purchased 321 tons of gold in Q3; why does the gold price continue to be under pressure? In short: central banks are "bottom-fishing," but interest rates and oil prices are "weighing down." First, the facts: 1) The World Gold Council released a report on November 3: In Q3, global central banks and official institutions net purchased 321 tons of gold, a 42% year-on-year increase, marking the highest single-quarter level since Q4 2024; year-to-date total is 675 tons, up 6% year-on-year. 2) Disclosed buyers are highly concentrated: The People's Bank of China increased holdings by 63 tons, the largest buyer this quarter; Poland about 40 tons; Russia reduced holdings by 19 tons, the only significant seller. About 63% of central bank gold purchases remain undisclosed. 3) Global gold ETFs saw a net inflow of 211 tons in Q3, with total holdings rising to 4,256 tons, a record high; however, demand for gold bars and coins dropped 19% year-on-year, and gold jewelry consumption fell to the lowest level since 2000 for the same period. 4) Prices are weakening: The LBMA quarterly average price in Q3 was $4,262, down about 12% from $4,873 in Q1; reports indicate that since the US-Iran conflict erupted at the end of February, gold prices have fallen by about a quarter cumulatively. Currently, XAUT is around $4,060, rebounding about 3% in 24 hours. Why are prices falling despite more buyers? Because high oil prices push up inflation and rate hike expectations, and non-yielding gold is most vulnerable to rising real interest rates; meanwhile, the dollar remains strong, and retail funds are cautious. Central banks buying more looks more like a "buying more as prices fall" long-term allocation, providing#CircleQ3 revenue exceeds expectations, USDC on-chain transaction volume grows 49% The stablecoin issuer Circle has just released its financial report, and tokenized stocks directly boosted it by more than two points. Many people see the news headline saying "revenue exceeds expectations" and think it's solid, but if you dig into the data and look at the underlying logic, there are actually undercurrents. Let's first look at this financial report. Circle is the company that issues USDC. Its previous business model was extremely simple, just like a landlord: you give it dollars, it gives you USDC, and then it takes your dollars to buy U.S. Treasury bonds to earn high interest. This quarter it reported revenue of $865 million, indeed better than expected, and USDC's on-chain transaction volume also surged 49%. However, the most critical "interest income" actually fell 8% year-on-year. So how did it maintain revenue above expectations? It all relied on a new blockchain network called Arc, which raised $182 million through presale of related tokens, artificially propping up the data. My personal view is: even the stablecoin giant now has to rely on "selling tokens" to rescue its financial statements. Previously, Circle earned easy profits from U.S. Treasury interest, but now that Treasury yields have dropped, its core profits are immediately under pressure. This actually exposes a fatal weakness in the stablecoin business—the lifeline is in the hands of the Federal Reserve. However, Circle's move to develop the Arc network and sell tokens is quite smart. It shows that it no longer wants to be just an "internet cash register," it wants to build its own ecosystem,Ethereum is faster here, and SLX has also reclaimed some of the 0.04 level
$ETH 2421.27, up 5.2% in the last 24 hours, this price ratio group is initially leaning towards Ethereum ♦️
In the same 24-hour window, priced in BTC, it rose about 1.9%, with its own price increase, so the relative price also improved. It’s starting to lead, going beyond just following the market’s rise.
The current price is still pulling back from the 2450 high point; leading doesn’t mean a straight upward trend. I’m more focused on whether this advantage can be maintained; when strength changes, it should be singled out from ordinary followers.

👇To pour some cold water first, calming down emotionally doesn't mean the market is safe. When I see this kind of news, I usually ask first: Has the risk really subsided, or are people just less scared than yesterday? My judgment is that emotional recovery is a good thing, but interpreting it as a trend reversal can lead to overestimation.
According to Alternative.me data, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose from 34 the previous day to 50, shifting from fear to neutral. I'm not rushing to be optimistic for two reasons: first, neutral doesn't mean greed, and it certainly doesn't directly prove that new funds are willing to continuously buy in; emotional readings and buying strength are not the same thing; second, this is just a change between two consecutive days, and it's still unclear if it can be sustained. If it's just a brief easing, then chasing the hotspot around this news might mistake emotional warming for risk elimination. This is my speculation, not a conclusion already given by the index.
Of course, the bulls might be right; I don't have to be bearish just because I see a recovery. If the subsequent sentiment remains stable, and price performance and trading activity continue to support it, I will change my cautious view. Compared to the index hitting 50, I'm more concerned about whether the recovery can continue. Regarding this rise from 34 to 50, are you bullish or bearish? Share your reasons: do you believe sentiment leads the market, or do you wait for confirmation from funds and price?There's something I've never quite understood: when the Bank of Japan holds a meeting, why do my crypto accounts turn red?
Later I figured it out — the yen has been the cheapest borrowing currency in the world for years. Some people borrow it to buy stocks and crypto, profiting from the spread. Now, the minutes mention that some committee members said interest rates need to be raised "relatively quickly."
Borrowing becomes more expensive, so these people have to sell assets to repay their loans. What do they sell first? The easiest to sell. $BTC takes the biggest hit, $ETH follows, and $SOL drops faster than anyone else.
To put it simply, it's not that crypto has a problem; it's that someone else's bill is due.Brothers who cut losses at 76,000 on $BTC yesterday, how are you today?
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权
Within one day, it pulled from the lowest 75,000 to 81,000, rising nearly 6,000 dollars. This kind of movement is purely a hunt by the dog whales—first stabbing down to stop out all the longs, then a big bullish candle directly blasts the shorts, profiting from both sides.
The catalyst is the Democratic Party's big win in the midterm elections, which suddenly removed political uncertainty, and risk assets collectively recovered. Plus, the dollar fell, oil prices dropped, and Middle East peace expectations rose, squeezing the shorts to explosion, with nearly 400 million cleared in one hour.
Personally, I held back from cutting losses yesterday, took a bite from today's rebound, but now I don't dare to add positions. A 6,000 dollar rise in one day is too abnormal, most likely a short squeeze, not a real reversal. The previous high above is still pressing down; do you think it can return in one step? I don't believe it.
I'm now just watching the 80,000 integer level; I'll talk after it stabilizes there; if it can't hold and falls back, that's another bull trap. Chasing highs? I won't fall for it.
For those who cut losses at 76,000 yesterday, are you chasing highs to buy back now, or holding tough waiting for a pullback? Oil prices dropped about 8.3% in one day (WTI around $88), BTC retraced from about 75,600 in a V-shape to about 80,600.
The market thinks: Democratic sweep = full crypto bull market.
In reality: The first to turn green is the "war premium easing" — oil prices fall, US stock risk appetite rebounds, shorts cover and lift prices. The fear index is still at 40, and spot ETFs have had a net outflow of about $1.16 billion over three days without turning positive.
My view: Standing above 80,000 ≠ election narrative fulfillment. Watch two lines — macro risk appetite (whether oil prices/US stocks can continue to rise) and capital flow (whether ETFs turn inflow). Oil price rebound and BTC breaking below about 78,000 looks more like a squeeze rebound; only when it stabilizes above 80,000 and ETF outflows slow and turn inflows can we talk about continuation.
Three takeaways:
1) Don’t treat the oil price plunge as a permanent ceasefire — the agreement is still far off, and the premium can return at any time
2) Fear at 40 + ETFs still outflowing = sentiment hasn’t truly turned bullish
3) Non-farm payrolls are still trending, interest rate expectations will stir things up again
Are you following the election headline now, or the real risk appetite switch of oil prices?
$BTC $ETH
#Kuwait-Iraq negotiations have not broken through, why did oil prices fall more than 7% in one day?There is a sentence hidden in the Bank of Japan's September meeting minutes: a member believes that the central bank should relatively quickly align the policy interest rate toward the approximate target, while retaining the flexibility to adjust in either direction.
On the surface, it sounds like official jargon. But it appears in a subtle position—not in the resolution, but in the minutes, where disagreements among members are recorded. The market always reads policy by first reading the disagreements.
Why can a single sentence from Japan transmit to the crypto circle? Because the yen has long been the cheapest source of global funding. Borrowing yen to exchange for dollars to buy high-volatility assets—this carry trade has supported risk appetite for many years. Its critical point is not on the return side, but on the financing cost. When the policy interest rate rises, the first link in this chain becomes more expensive.
The transmission has an order: first the exchange rate moves, then cross-market liquidity, and finally risk asset pricing. So the crypto circle is often not the first to react, but often reacts the most fiercely—due to high leverage, 24-hour trading, and no circuit breakers.
$BTC is the first to be liquidated in this environment because it is the easiest to sell; $ETH follows, falling more decisively than it rises when lacking an independent narrative; high-beta assets like $SOL surge first when rising and leave no one behind when retreating.
What really matters is not whether there will be a rate hike this time, but that the direction has already been written into the minutes. The committee is discussing "how fast," not "whether to." The question changes from a yes-or-no to a speed question, and half the answer has been given.
A question remains: when the cheapest money is no longer cheap, who will take over the positions supported by low-cost financing?My first reaction is to calculate the actual figures: the amount of newly minted coins cannot be directly counted as buy orders. Whether the money has left the treasury and where it flows is more useful than a big number; otherwise, it's easy to imagine bullish scenarios for the market.
According to PANews on November 5, Whale Alert reported that the USDC Treasury minted 250 million $USDC on the Solana network at 02:14 Beijing time, worth about 250 million USD. Solscan data shows that this minting transaction has been confirmed completed.
My judgment is: this is a positive signal for on-chain capital supply, but it is not enough evidence to conclude that the market will rise. Minting only indicates that the coins have been created; the data does not explain their subsequent use, so potential liquidity cannot be mistaken for actual demand.
For ordinary users, I care more about whether exchanges and capital turnover are smoother. If these stablecoins later enter trading, lending, and other scenarios, it could improve capital availability, which is my speculation; if they just stay in the treasury, the impact on actual trading experience is limited. Funds can be used for settlement or buying coins; the purposes differ greatly in significance.
I would choose to be more cautious: first observe the subsequent flow and actual usage, then adjust my judgment, rather than boosting my confidence based on a single minting. Faced with these 250 million newly minted USDC, do you wait for the capital usage to become clear before judging, or are you willing to take the risk and bet early on liquidity expectations? #BTC spot ETF capital outflow, corporate treasury accumulation slows down, risk appetite contraction is dragging down high-volatility assets like SPCX, and I hold a short-term bearish view on it. The four-hour downtrend channel remains unbroken, having fallen over 17% from the high of 140.94, with weak volume-price coordination and rebounds lacking transaction volume support. Currently, 135.07 is close to the intraday low of 129.94, but the one-hour chart still shows a descending structure; funding rate is zero, and open interest at 426,000 indicates long position reduction and cautious sentiment; the top ten buy orders at 1569 slightly outweigh the sell orders at 1339, showing some short-term support but limited strength. Strategically, a light short position can be taken on a rebound to 136.85, with a stop loss at 138.65 and a target of 130.35; if it pulls back to 130.35 and stabilizes with stronger buy orders, one can reverse to a short-term long position, stop loss at 128.75, target 135.45, with single position size not exceeding 20% and strict stop loss adherence.

$SPCX Behind the liquidation of 80,000 people: Long and short both suffer, but the funding rate "voted"
$BTC fiercely tugged near 80,000, with a total liquidation of $822 million across the network in 24 hours, of which shorts liquidated $511 million, accounting for 62%. But the most valuable part of this data is the detail, not the total.
First layer: Shorts are the main players in this short squeeze. BTC shorts liquidated $308 million (76%), $ETH shorts liquidated $135 million (55%). Every price tick up triggers more forced buy orders from shorts cutting losses, a typical stampede.
Second layer: But the funding rate has "betrayed"; data aggregation platforms like Coinglass calculate the 8-hour average funding rate for Bitcoin across the network at about -0.0044%, a nine-month low. The short squeeze pushed the price up, but leveraged longs have not regained pricing power—the surviving shorts are paying to hold their positions. Historically, when funding rates turn negative and shorts concentrate liquidations simultaneously, it often corresponds to short-term extreme sentiment zones.
Third layer: Institutional actions are divided. ETFs saw outflows of $1.16 billion over three days, but the outflow pace is slowing; whale spot holdings rose to 3.03 million BTC, while the contract side turned net short. The "spot accumulation, contract short" structure indicates large funds are hedging rather than making one-sided bets.
Tomorrow night’s nonfarm payrolls are the next pricing anchor: expectations are for an increase of 62,000–65,000, with ADP and ISM employment sub-indices showing strength.

#美伊谈判未突破，油价为何单日跌逾7%？ Don't rush! BTC, ETH, OKB, SOL, and DOGE all fell together, but why is OKB weaker?
Looking at the market, the five major mainstream coins dropped simultaneously: BTC at $77,046, ETH at $2,268, SOL at $92.38, DOGE at $0.07415. OKB fell 3.15%, more noticeable than BTC's 0.60%.
What happened? I checked the latest news; it looks more like several pressure points converging rather than a single coin suddenly crashing.
First, US tech stocks continue to weaken, global risk appetite cools down, and the crypto market can't stay unaffected. Second, recent net outflows from the US spot BTC ETF and long contract liquidations have amplified the weak trend. Third, the US midterm election results are still undecided, so funds are choosing to wait and see.
Why did OKB fall more sharply? I hold OKB, so I pay special attention. It may indicate weaker short-term buying support; but just from this screenshot, we can't conclude there is specific negative news or concentrated selling by major holders.
My view: this round of adjustment is due to multiple overlapping pressures, not panic caused by a single event.
Chasing the dip now is unwise, and panic selling should be cautious. Key points to watch next: whether ETF funds can flow back, whether leverage risks ease, and whether the market can form sustained buying.
Do you think this is a normal pullback or the start of a bigger downtrend? Just checked the current funding rate for OKX perpetual BTC-USDT-SWAP, which is about 0.0075%, with the default benchmark around 0.01%. Spot BTC rose from about 77400 to around 80600 in 24 hours, a significant increase, but the funding rate did not peak accordingly.
This only indicates one thing: the price went up, but the number of people willing to pay to hold long positions is not as many as expected. It does not prove how strong the spot buying is; it could also be driven by short covering. Next, I will watch two things — whether the funding rate will catch up in the next few periods, and whether the open interest suddenly expands.
Data comes from OKX public API, snapshot at this moment. This does not constitute investment adviceRAY rose 12%, and the perpetual funding rate remains in the negative zone.
At 8:09 on OKEx, the spot price was about $1.731, up 12.44% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of about $1.69 million. At 7:00, the nominal value of hourly contract open interest was about $3.23 million, compared to about $2.92 million at the same time the previous day. The current estimated funding rate is about -0.035%.
My judgment is that there is no obvious evidence of crowding among contract longs for the time being. The nominal open interest increased by about 10.6%, close to the spot price increase during the same period; the price rise itself will raise this dollar figure. A negative funding rate does not guarantee the price will continue to rise.
If the price falls next while nominal open interest remains high, I will be more cautious. Only when the price continues to hold steady, the funding rate turns positive, and open interest grows faster than the price should we reassess whether chasing long positions has become crowded.
$RAY DEX Recalibrated: Only True Beneficiaries Deserve the Money
📉 This week, the DEX sector was re-evaluated by the market. With CEX risks spilling over, logically decentralization should get a share, but capital only recognizes "true beneficiaries," not those "riding on concepts." The same wind blows across different models, causing a clear divergence.
🏦 $AAVE is approaching the 126 support line. On Hyperliquid, whales dumped $109 million in positions, ETH collateral is shrinking again, and lending income is under short-term pressure. Whether 126 holds or not will determine if this pullback is a shallow shake or a deep correction.
🛠 $GMX is being revalued as well: its narrative is being taken over by Hyperliquid and new compliant players, fee rates and token price continue to lag, and near $8 there is still no sign of a bottom formation.
⚡ $ENA is benefiting from volatility dividends; its mechanism generates extra fees during amplified market moves, holding steady around 0.18 for now; but its vulnerability in extreme conditions remains, so it can’t be judged by sideways movement alone.
🧭 The same wind blows across different business models—some benefit, some are revalued. DEX is not a universal positive, but a structural positive.Historical pattern of midterm elections on cryptocurrency prices: rises after one year, but falls first in between
Since 1950, in 19 midterm elections, the S&P 500 has risen every year after the election, averaging 15.1%. Bitcoin's three full cycles have also been positive one year later, but it has fallen for a period in the weeks following the vote. This year, the US stock market is only 3% below its high, so the recoverable decline is naturally limited. History can be a reference, but don't treat it as a script.The Democratic Party took control of both the House and Senate. Trump is still around with veto power, and the Senate doesn't have the majority to force through procedures, so what follows is a divided government, not a unilateral rule change by the Democrats.
The market first fell then rose. Overnight stock index futures dropped about 2% at one point, BTC was hammered down to around 75,700; during the day, US stocks turned positive (Dow about +2%, S&P and Nasdaq about +1%), and crypto followed, reclaiming above 80,000. What’s being traded is the "result landing," not "crypto policy getting better."
Friday is the October nonfarm payrolls. The market expects an increase of about 65,000 (September only had 29,000), unemployment rate at 4.2%, and hourly wages up 0.3% month-over-month. If it's on the hot side, a rate hike in December is more certain, possibly moving up hikes planned for 2027; the dollar and yields would bounce back, and crypto’s rebound could easily be eaten up. If it's on the cold side, the dollar could weaken a bit more, but it won't change the fact that "rate hikes are still ongoing."
Oil prices are another factor. If the Middle East flares up again, a spike in oil prices would push inflation expectations back up, forcing the Fed to be even more hawkish. That scenario is directly bearish for crypto.
So this round of gains makes sense macro-wise but explains a rebound, not a new uptrend. The dollar no longer surging, yields no longer rising, only then does BTC have a chance to look at 81,200–82,000. If nonfarm payrolls are hot, or the dollar recovers the drop from election night, 79,500 and 78,800 will be hit first. ETH has more elasticity but also suffers from liquidity; if it can't hold 2,500, it will just follow the rise.
$BTC $ETH Just came across a pretty interesting piece of news: Brazilian exchange Mercado Bitcoin announced it will resume user account access starting Monday.
This exchange was previously hacked, with on-chain analysts estimating losses exceeding 46 million USD. According to official statements, on Monday users will first be able to check their balances and holdings; withdrawals and trading will be postponed and require passing an independent security test first.
Even more interesting is their compensation stance: they promise to cover user losses with company funds. So far, over 15 million USD of stolen funds have been frozen with industry assistance, and the trading desk is preparing to buy back on domestic and international markets. Regarding liquidity, they also secured a 20 million USD investment from stablecoin issuer Tether.
My view is: exchange hacks are nothing new, but what’s new is the combination of "out-of-pocket compensation + stablecoin issuer investment." Previously, when platforms had issues, they mostly ran away or stubbornly held on; now someone is starting to buy trust with real money. This Tether investment is less a financial investment and more a lifeline for the centralized exchange ecosystem—when exchanges fail en masse, stablecoin on/off ramps also suffer.
By the way, about the market: BTC today bounced back to 80,500 USD, with 288 million USD liquidated in crypto longs over 24 hours, sentiment is still recovering.
#Web3 #CryptoExchange #Bitcoin The main altcoin theme of the last bull market was $SOL and the SOL ecosystem. The main altcoin theme of this bull market is $ETH and the ETH ecosystem. In the last bull market, the SOL ecosystem exploded, with the SOL native token, RAY from the SOL ecosystem, and MEME on the SOL chain all delivering returns of dozens of times. However, retail holders of ETH and the ETH ecosystem basically lost everything in the last bull market. But fortunes change; recently UNI, ARB, and some old ETH ecosystem projects that were previously so low no one paid attention to have started to slowly rise from the bottom. The Ethereum-based altcoins are expected to emerge from the trough led by ETH. This might be the most worthwhile area to watch in the next phase of the ETH ecosystem. So recently, I have been paying attention to five or six ETH ecosystem projects including ETHFI, ENS, LDO, ETC, and others. They are not necessarily standard cash flow tokens; some have just undergone fundamental changes but the market has not yet formed a strong consensus. ETHFI: an Ethereum staking DeFi protocol, part of the revenue is used to buy back tokens on the secondary market, starting to follow UNI's path, and the project team is beginning to empower the token. ENS, in my view, is "ETH high Beta + real revenue + product upgrades." It usually has greater elasticity when ETH rebounds, and it has income from domain registration and renewals. Meanwhile, ENSv2 has entered public Beta, and the product is continuously upgrading.

BTC currently at 80517, 24h increase of 3.68%; ETH at 2426, increase of 6.27%, this round of rebound shows ETH clearly stronger than BTC.
First, look at the very eye-catching details of ETH's order book: the 1-hour candle at 23:00 had a volume directly hitting 9.75 million contracts, the previous candle only had 6.27 million. This single volume surge pushed the price from 2378 to 2451.13, closing at 2425.8.
After this explosive bullish candle, the volumes of the next 8 candles were 1.97M, 1.01M, 0.95M, 1.10M, 0.69M, 0.38M, 1.00M, and 0.55M contracts respectively, all combined not even matching that one huge volume. Then for a full eight hours, the price oscillated narrowly between 2404 and 2446, with the current price still 26 dollars below the high.
ETH rose 6.5% intraday, funding rate only 0.0074%, which is 25% below the 0.01 baseline. The funding rate failing to rise means there is no large amount of leveraged money chasing longs off-exchange. This rally is essentially short covering plus spot buying, not new leveraged long inflows.
ETH open interest is 1.55 billion USD, 24-hour volume 11.27 billion USD, turnover exceeding 7 times, compared to BTC turnover of only 4.4 times.
To put it plainly: after the volume spike, buying quickly dissipated. This kind of market can hold steady short-term but its sustainability is questionable; above 2451 $BCH $ETH $BTC $ETH & BTC Market Review｜11.5

BTC currently at 80517, 24h increase of 3.68%; ETH at 2426, increase of 6.27%, this rebound round shows ETH clearly stronger than BTC.
First, look at the very eye-catching ETH market detail: the 1-hour candle at 23:00 had a volume directly hitting 9.75 million contracts, the previous one only 6.27 million, a single volume surge pushed the price from 2378 to 2451.13, closing at 2425.8.
After this explosive bullish candle, the next 8 candles had volumes of 1.97 million, 1.01 million, 950k, 1.1 million, 690k, 380k, 1 million, and 550k contracts respectively, all combined not even matching that one huge volume. Then for a full eight hours, it oscillated narrowly between 2404 and 2446, the current price still 26 dollars below the high.
ETH rose 6.5% intraday, funding rate only 0.0074%, 25% below the 0.01 baseline. The funding rate failing to rise means there is no large amount of leveraged money chasing longs off-exchange. This rally is essentially short covering plus spot buying, not new leveraged long inflows.
ETH open interest is 1.55 billion USD, 24-hour volume 11.27 billion, turnover rate over 7 times, compared to BTC turnover of only 4.4 times.
To put it plainly: after the volume spike, buying quickly dissipated. This kind of market can hold short-term but its sustainability is questionable.
