🔥Storage's Three Musketeers rise in sync! The core logic is surprisingly different
Today the storage sector moved collectively, but the underlying logic for the three rising companies is completely different. Don't mix them up 👇
$SKHYNIX Hynix｜1119 💾
Q3 earnings released, Nvidia's HBM4 orders exceeded expectations, soaring 7.81% in one day. It is the core main supplier of HBM4, with orders locked by major manufacturers. Next, focus on the HBM4 mass production schedule, which is the next big catalyst.
$xMU Micron｜963 🧠
Micron's main business is DRAM; HBM is a new track. Hynix's orders exploded, indirectly confirming the HBM demand surge. Funds have also driven the pursuer up, closing up 3.38%. But be clear: its HBM4 progress is slower than Hynix's, so this is speculation on catching up expectations.
$SNDK SanDisk｜1361 💿
Key point! SanDisk focuses on NAND flash memory and does not do HBM at all. Although AI servers require large-capacity storage, it is unrelated to the HBM track. This rise is purely sector sentiment spillover without its own HBM benefits. Be sure to distinguish its position.
By the way $BTC｜80647 📊
The storage sector is booming, but BTC remains flat and sideways. Funds are crowded to bet on the AI hardware cycle, with no flow into the crypto market. Before the FOMC decision early tomorrow, BTC will most likely continue to maintain a wait-and-see stance. Strategy's unrealized gains have soared, but the stock price premium has plunged to freezing levels—Bitcoin has risen, but the willingness to pay for “coin hoarding stocks” has changed.
$BTC: $80,227. Strategy earnings preview shows a strong rebound in Q3 unrealized gains, holding positions at an average price of about $75,000, ending the consecutive losses. However, the mNAV premium has sharply narrowed, and the flywheel of issuing shares to buy coins is slowing down. Although the ETF saw a single-day inflow of $176 million, it was all from BlackRock alone, representing structural replenishment; the $80,000 threshold still requires macro support.
$ETH: $2,322. U.S. Treasury yields remain high, increasing the probability of a rate hike in December. Ethereum staking yields have no advantage against the risk-free rate, ETFs continue to bleed out, and the rebound lacks incremental capital support.
$SOL: $100.34. Firmly holding the 100-dollar integer level. Dragged down by U.S. tech stock earnings reports, its high Beta characteristic amplifies the decline. On-chain activity cannot compete with ETF outflows, lacking catalysts for independent strength.
Summary: Unrealized gains are a thing of the past; premium contraction is ongoing. Under macro headwinds and leverage cleansing, ETF buying supports the bottom but cannot sustain a new upward trend.

What does the 2290 line mean in the Fed's split sell-off?
This rate decision was a 10:2 vote, hawkish disagreements heating up, easing expectations dashed, the market collectively weakened.
68 ETH, 25x long positions, approaching the 2290 liquidation line, no liquidations yet.
Many mistakenly think liquidation means the bottom,
but forced long liquidations are market price crashes, liquidations increase selling pressure, not a reversal signal.
Maji's position is just a market observation point; the main market theme is always interest rate expectations, don't confuse the main point with the details. #AWS算力需求旺盛，亚马逊Q3财报有哪些看点？ I think it is below expectations 💡A different logic! These three assets are not just about pure market speculation

Bitcoin Cash focuses on the small payment sector
Leveraging the advantages of large blocks and low fees, recently there has been a significant increase in on-chain small transfers in the $10–100 range. The team is also advancing a new payment protocol this month, positioned more as a daily transfer tool rather than just for speculative price gains.
$XAUT｜4050 🥇
Tether gold token, with continuously rising minting volume
One XAUT corresponds to redeeming one ounce of physical gold, with almost no price difference from spot gold. Recently, the minting volume has increased month-over-month, showing that many funds choose to use it to store gold as a hedge.

On-chain version of the Nasdaq ETF, linked to the US stock rhythm
Linked to the Nasdaq 100, as US stock index futures slightly recover, it rebounds accordingly. It's like indirectly positioning in US stocks within the crypto space, but note: its liquidity is far less than that of traditional US stock assets.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $FIL "Single-day $4 paid revenue" (refers to the stablecoin transaction volume on the Filecoin Pay chain on a certain day in February), but this only represents on-chain payments settled through Filecoin Pay, not the total storage revenue across the entire network; there has been improvement now, but the base is still extremely low. 1. First, clarify exactly what this $4 statistic represents (very critical) The analyst's scope at the time: only Filecoin Pay (FOC) channel, paid orders settled on-chain with stablecoins. - Many SPs and clients sign contracts and make payments offline separately, not using Filecoin Pay, so that money is not included; - Traditional Fil+ orders, test orders, free notarizations, hackathon demos inherently do not pay; - This $4 is the portion of transaction volume compliant with FIP0118 rules, countable for quarterly assessments, and used to unlock service rewards, which is the core metric you have been monitoring. Therefore, the significance of this data: at that time, compliant paid transaction volume recognized by the protocol and affecting reward burning was almost nonexistent, which was the root cause of market complaints about its valuation disconnect. 2. How much has it improved now? Latest public data from Portal: Filecoin Pay single-day stablecoin paid transaction volume is about $20 (late October), annualized to the level of hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is an increase compared to a few dollars per day at the beginning of the year, a considerable growth, but the absolute value remains negligible. - January annualized transaction volumeThe market looks calm on the surface, but it's actually waiting for three ticking bombs to explode. $ETH $BTC
The first one: On October 30th at 4 PM, Deribit has $10.92 billion in BTC options and $776 million in ETH options concentrated for settlement. The biggest pain point for BTC is 78,000, and ETH is stuck at 2,500. The main players will likely push the settlement price toward the pain points, probably causing sharp spikes up and down to shake out positions. The script for a double kill on longs and shorts is already written.
The second one: On November 10th, the US CPI will be released, followed by PPI on November 13th, retail sales on November 17th, and the Federal Reserve meeting minutes on November 18th, with GDP data at the end of the month. Inflation data directly determines market expectations for policy. A rising CPI is bearish for risk assets, while a decline makes it easier to rally.
The third one is not macro but on the supply side. On November 3rd, KITE will unlock about $119 million, and on November 24th, Monad will unlock about $521 million, equivalent to 131.6% of the current market cap. This is a concentrated release of tokens held by the team and early investors, which will put pressure on related altcoins.
So don’t be fooled by the current calm. Options settlement will first cause a shakeout, CPI will set the direction, and token unlocks will kill locally. The low volatility is just a facade; the next two weeks will be the real battle.In the early morning of October 29, the Federal Reserve kept the interest rate unchanged at 3.75%-4.00%, but the market was not convinced. Bitcoin first rebounded to $81,687, then fell below $80,000, reaching a low below $79,800. Long positions liquidated $205 million in 24 hours, and Ethereum contract liquidations reached $72 million. The marginal positive effect of "no rate hike" was completely offset by the marginal negative effect of "possible rate hike next time." Why is this pause more hawkish? Wording upgrade: economic activity changed from "moderate expansion" to "strong expansion," while emphasizing that inflation is "still elevated." The key commitment was removed: the September statement's phrase "supporting a more timely return of inflation to 2%" was replaced with "the accumulation of more information will help determine the appropriate policy stance"—the vagueness itself is a hawkish signal. The vote was 10:2. Board member Lisa Cook and Cleveland Fed President Hammack advocated an immediate 25 basis point rate hike; this is Cook's first dissenting vote on monetary policy since joining in 2022. This indicates that "no rate hike" is not a consensus, just that some officials want to see more data. ING immediately raised the probability of a December rate hike from 73.4% to 79.8%. Samsung's earnings report was the straw that broke the camel's back. Samsung's semiconductor division Q3 operating profit was 106.5 trillion KRW, below the expected 108.5 trillion KRW—although it surged 15 times year-on-year, missing expectations was enough. At the same time, it announced full-year capital expenditure of 84.4 trillion KRW (about $63 billion), up 60% year-on-year, with increased AI investment raising concerns about returns. Transmission chain: Samsung#The Federal Reserve keeps interest rates unchanged, December rate hike disagreements intensify. More than four hours after the decision, the basket fell 1.66% to 4.88%, but the momentum of ten assets was all positive for three hours—from the deepest -27 to the strongest +0.79%, all turned positive. Prices are falling, momentum is recovering, this kind of divergence is rare. The money flow is very clear: spot products have net bought $110 million, $176 million, and $137 million for three consecutive days, totaling $424 million in three days, turning October's net outflow into a net inflow of $111 million. Bitcoin was pressed down to 79,750 but did not go lower; Ethereum products lost $1.35 billion in October, the worst month since listing, but the price was only pushed to around 2,300 and held. Redemptions are real money moving, and those taking delivery are also real money. At the moment the decision was announced, it surged from 80,600 to 81,027, then slid back to 79,750—those who wanted to sell have already sold, the rest are just talk. This round I take three positions: long Bitcoin, take profit at 81,258.53, stop loss at 79,617.44; long Ethereum, take profit at 2,369.87, stop loss at 2,298.40; long Chainlink, take profit at 11.8832, stop loss at 11.3181. The positive news for Chainlink came first, the price is chasing later. The phrase "still far from neutral interest rate" in October 2018 crashed the market, the turning point was delayed until January the next year; this time not#GoogleQ3MixedResults A long squeeze is a highly probable risk given the exact data shown in your screenshot.
When 70.2% of accounts are long and the long-short ratio is heavily skewed at 2.35, the market becomes a ticking time bomb for a downward cascadeThe standout in the past 24 hours was not a rally but a squeeze. Roughly $132 million in positions were liquidated across the network, and shorts accounted for 71.31% of that total — about 2.5 times the long side. The damage clustered in $BTC, $ETH and $SOL, with bears who had pressed around the 80,000 level on Bitcoin harvested collectively. Yet price barely moved. Bitcoin printed 81,465, up 0.93%. $ETH traded at 2,369, up 1.03%, and $SOL at 102.5, up 1.67%. That muted response is the tell: thiWhat concerns me most about this long position is not which direction it bets on, but how much room for error is left in the judgment. I just saw Core Trader 74 (0x68cb35…02d1e) open a long $ETH position with 25x leverage, holding 67.9311 tokens, with a notional value of about $157,300. I prefer to view this as a highly risk-controlled offensive move rather than a bullish signal.
$157,300 looks eye-catching, but the notional position is not equal to the actual investment. With a simple 25x estimate, the initial margin corresponds to about $6,293; if the price moves 1% against the position, the loss would be roughly 25% of this margin. Leverage amplifies not only profit elasticity but also turns an ordinary judgment error into disposal pressure.
Going further, a roughly 4% adverse move would theoretically wipe out the margin mentioned above. However, this is not an exact liquidation line; maintenance margin, other collateral in the account, and fees all affect the outcome. The data also does not provide stop-loss or hedging information, so I would not interpret the use of high leverage as greater confidence.
When monitoring this kind of activity, the most common mistake is to focus first on the amount and then fill in confidence for the trader. My reminder this time is: the direction has not yet been realized, so first look at the risk boundaries; next, I want to observe how this address adjusts its position rather than rushing to label it as bullish.$TON, can user-based network growth offset high interest rate discounting? The Fed maintains rates but still emphasizes inflation, so the valuation threshold for the forward user growth story has not lowered. The ecosystem needs to convert new users into retention, application revenue, and transactions. If quarterly active and paying users continue to rise, growth is of higher quality; if new user acquisition comes from short-term campaigns and retention declines, I would avoid equating hype directly with value. Seeing that screenshot of an 800,000 floating profit late at night, my first reaction wasn’t envy, but sweaty palms. Can you really sleep soundly with 100x leverage? BTC 50x short position earned 76,000 U, ETH 100x short position earned nearly 40,000 U, totaling about 120,000 U. The numbers look great, but what I’m watching is the rhythm behind it: this looks more like the tail end of a downtrend battle, not a position where you can safely chase shorts. Those who chased the rally got hit a few days ago, and now those chasing shorts are starting to think they’re geniuses. This kind of sentiment switch usually happens during trend divergence, not at the start of a trend. What the market is really trading is "whether the drop is deep enough." Part of the short profits has already been priced in. As long as an unreasonable big bullish candle appears overnight, high-leverage positions will be forcibly liquidated within minutes, and floating profits will be instantly halved. This isn’t a probability issue, it’s a structural issue—100x means a 1% price reversal nearly wipes you out. Translated to the market: if BTC spikes sharply, ETH shorts will suffer more because its leverage is even more extreme; altcoin sentiment will also switch from panic to fear of missing out, and short-term risk appetite will suddenly warm up. Conversely, if BTC continues to drift down, shorts feel comfortable, but new short entry points get worse and worse, and distribution risk accumulates. The bullish path looks at a short squeeze: as long as key levels are quickly reclaimed, high-leverage shorts become fuel. The bearish path looks at continued down drift, but then you’re making rhythm money, not leverage money. My judgment: now is a stage where game theory and position washing mix, not a stage for mindless short chasing. The floating profit screenshot is veryTrump is stirring up trouble with Iran again; the crypto market falls first as a precaution, so don't treat it as a bullish signal to trade on!
Geopolitical conflicts push oil prices up, and when oil prices rise, rate hike expectations crush risk assets.
Trump threatens military action against Iran, so the market runs first as a precaution. In the previous conflict, BTC dropped directly from 84,800 to 81,000, and all liquidations were longs. Don't expect BTC to be a safe haven; it moves in tandem with the Nasdaq. When oil prices rise, inflation can't be contained, and the rate hike blade falls.
Historically, geopolitical conflicts often mean "fall first, then rise," but the premise is that energy supply isn't cut off. Now, don't panic blindly or rush to bottom-fish. Keep a close eye on two things: whether Brent crude oil is stable and whether oil tankers can pass through the Strait of Hormuz normally. If stable, after the drop there will be a recovery; if blocked, the decline will continue.
Do you think the oil tankers will be blocked this time?
$BTC $CL $ETH #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Why do you see others making money while you always seem to be paying your tuition fees as soon as you enter the market?
Because those who have lost everything usually don’t post daily profit screenshots.
Scroll through the timeline: some have coins that multiplied a hundredfold, some turned small funds around, some escaped the peak precisely. Seeing so many, it’s easy to think making money is the norm and that only you haven’t figured it out.
But what you see are the people willing to show off and those pushed to the forefront by the platform. Those who liquidated and deleted their accounts, those who fell silent after losses, or those who changed accounts and started telling their stories again rarely appear in your sample.
This is survivor bias.
Suppose 10,000 people simultaneously heavily invest in different small coins. Some will inevitably hit a surge. Later, when you hear their post-mortem, from the narrative to the entry points, every step sounds convincing. But by only looking at the winners, we can’t tell whether the method is effective or if, after enough people take risks, a few lucky ones just happen to remain.
More subtly, the winners’ experiences may not be replicable.
They might have low-cost chips or other assets as a safety net, while you’re using your living expenses, blindly copying their riskiest move.
So when you see stories of sudden wealth, don’t rush to ask what they bought. First ask: how many people have tried similar methods? Where did the failures go? How much drawdown did this profit endure, and how many times can it be repeated?
Remember: one person making money with a method only proves it once worked; including the failures shows how hard this path really is.I think the advantage of time for coin hoarders is that they don't have to rush to guess where Bitcoin will go tomorrow. With spare money, they can accumulate slowly, spreading out their buying points, and also have time to verify their initial judgments. But the premise is that living expenses don't have to be supplemented by selling coins; otherwise, before the market moves, the rent will come knocking first. Looking at companies buying Bitcoin long-term, I'm also more concerned about where the money comes from. Borrowed money always has a due date, and just saying you can wait doesn't count. I'm quite curious to see if, when the main business is short on cash, the boss will be willing to touch those coins.New money is running, old money is also running.

1,453 BTC is the basic foundation of Core's current BTC staking narrative, and Core DAO has abandoned relying on retail DeFi ecosystems to break through. Its entire next-step strategy is named Bitcoin Power Grid, with the core goal shifting from "subsidizing the ecosystem through token inflation" to generating real revenue from business operations, then repurchasing CORE tokens, attempting to build a new value flywheel. ✅ The next three core implementation directions: 1. Expand BTC liquid staking LST and institutional business, continue cooperating with custodians like BitGo and Hex Trust, launch compliant BTC interest-bearing products and ETP products targeting asset management and treasury enterprises, aiming to attract large institutional BTC inflows rather than ordinary retail funds. At the same time, upgrade the dual staking mechanism, where staking CORE can earn higher BTC staking yields, strengthening the rigid demand for CORE tokens. 2. AMP asset management protocol launches structured BTC yield strategy products, charging strategy management fees as one of the protocol's income sources. 3. Flagship product SatPay, the new Bitcoin bank. This is the most critical step in the entire roadmap: users will use the liquid staking certificates corresponding to staked BTC as collateral to borrow stablecoins linked to debit cards for daily consumption; the staking-generated yields automatically repay the loan, achieving "holding BTC without moving it while still enabling daily spending." The plan is to create continuous revenue through SatPay fees to drive CORE repurchases. #霍尔木兹重开方案浮现，油价回落能否持续？ The Strait of Hormuz carries a large volume of seaborne crude oil. With the reopening plan emerging, the market's geopolitical risk premium has quickly released, leading to a phased decline in oil prices. However, this round of decline is more expectation-driven, and whether it can continue remains highly uncertain.
First, currently only negotiation plans have surfaced and no agreement has been finalized. There are many core conflicts between the US and Iran; the binding force of any agreement, channel safety, mine clearance, and tanker passage guarantees still have uncertainties. If negotiations break down or local frictions reoccur, safe-haven funds will quickly flow back, and oil prices could rebound at any time.
Second, the fundamentals of crude oil have not completely shifted. Global crude inventories remain generally low, OPEC+ production cuts support supply, and factors such as seasonal demand and refinery operations provide a bottom support for oil prices. Even if the strait reopens smoothly, it will take time for the channel to recover from "passable" to full capacity operation, making it difficult to immediately and significantly increase crude oil shipments in the short term.
Looking ahead, oil prices are likely to enter a high-level oscillation pattern, with sustained one-sided declines being difficult. Key points to monitor include the progress of negotiations, actual navigation data of the strait, and OPEC+ policy trends. Geopolitical risks have not been completely eliminated, and crude oil volatility will remain high. $BTC $ETH $ZEC The midterm elections in November are coming soon, and many people have been asking me what will happen after the elections.
Let's directly review history, comparing the Nasdaq with Bitcoin as a reference for everyone. You can use this as a guide, but keep in mind: if the outcome matches, the approach is correct; if it turns out differently, history is only for reference, as the market never simply repeats itself.
2018 Midterm Elections:
The Nasdaq was already under pressure at that time, with interest rate hikes and trade wars suppressing growth stocks. After the election, it continued to fall, bottoming out gradually. BTC was even worse, already in a bear market, and after the election, it kept dropping, eventually hitting a major bottom in December that year. Many held their positions to the point of despair.
2022 Midterm Elections:
The Nasdaq was suppressed by high inflation and aggressive rate hikes, with huge volatility. BTC was even more dramatic; around the election, combined with the FTX collapse, it hit a significant bottom, panic was at its peak, and countless leveraged accounts were liquidated.
But there is an interesting commonality: after uncertainty settles, no matter how severe the drop was, a recovery phase gradually follows.
The Nasdaq, as a tech growth index, sees valuations reassessed once policy uncertainties are resolved; BTC, with its high beta characteristic, often moves in tandem with the Nasdaq but with even more extreme volatility.
Looking at this year, no one can predict the results with 100% certainty.
If you want to use historical patterns as a reference, you can simulate past scenarios yourself.
If the path is similar to previous years: uncertainty settles, bad news is fully priced in, and then a gradual recovery phase begins.
$BTC $ETH Analysis post "Meme coins are lively again, why is DOGE not involved?"
PEPE has been rising quite enthusiastically recently, while DOGE hasn't kept up. According to the monthly data on October 28, PEPE rose about 16%, whereas DOGE actually dropped about 16%.
Both are Meme coins, so why such polarized trends?
I think this reveals something: current funds are less loyal to old established names; money flows to whichever coin has activity, a story, or short-term profit potential.
DOGE still has recognition and a community base, but these advantages keep it alive, not necessarily making it the first choice for funds every time.
Especially when market sentiment is poor, people generally have little risk appetite. If they want to speculate on Meme coins, many might prefer chasing a new coin that's taking off rather than holding DOGE and waiting slowly.
Of course, PEPE's recent performance is also influenced by large wallet movements and other factors, so we can't simply conclude that funds have completely abandoned DOGE based on a period of gains.
But without Elon Musk tweeting to stir sentiment, what else can DOGE rely on for hype?先交账。上一轮我给了三个方向：一个做多篮子里最抗跌的那只，一个做多结算量最大的那只，一个站空头的对面。结果是这样——抗跌的那只从 754.70 一路磨到 752.90，亏 0.24%，止盈止损都没碰到；结算量那只从 0.33107 抬到 0.3314，盈 0.03%，也没碰；倒是那个空单，它十周年之后没按我说的走，从 1,248.65 反手弹到 1,254.69，我亏 0.48%，止盈止损同样没触发。三中一，33%。点位一个都没被打掉，可方向只对了一个——这就是超卖市场里的常态：你以为的接力，人家先给你一个反弹。 再说这一轮的大局。利率按在 3.75%—4.00%，表决 10 比 2，那两票投的方向是加息，不是降息。市场最不想听的话就是这个——不是不加，是有人在会上要求加。决议公布那一下它从 80,600 冲到 81,027 又滑回 79,750，想抛的人已经抛完了，剩下的都是嘴。要看清这层性质：离中期选举没几天，白宫和央行谁都不会先把市场打崩，所以这次按住了；真正压着风险资产的不是这次会议，是 12 月那次的影子，而现在市场已经把鹰派定价进去了一大半。美债收益率抬上去，美元跟着走强，$APR can't break through 0.06, bulls be careful about catching the falling knife!
In Bai Ge's view, this volume-driven rally might carry more risk than opportunity!
The price seems to stay high but has never effectively broken the previous high of 0.06. There's volume on the surge, yet the upper space remains closed. The biggest risk in this pattern is bulls chasing in and ending up holding the bag at the top.
Looking at the funding rate, it dropped from 0.0197% two days ago to 0.005%, indicating a shift in long-short sentiment. However, a lower funding rate doesn't mean the main players have withdrawn. The real focus should be whether the price can break the previous high and the strength of support after high-volume trading.
Bai Ge's trading idea: short on rebounds, cautiously go long!
Currently, the price is around 0.054, with key resistance at 0.06 above. If the rebound continues to be blocked and buying support is insufficient, watch for opportunities to short with the trend; if volume-driven breakout and a stable hold above 0.06 occur, reassess the short logic and avoid blindly holding on.
Remember: a high-level consolidation doesn't equal strength, and volume-driven rises don't guarantee continuation. The key is whether it can truly break through!
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $PEPE $DOGE BTC is currently at $80,069, down 1.7% in 24 hours, 2.1% below the 20-day moving average and 2.3% below the 50-day moving average. The daily chart structure is in the lower middle part of the 30-day range ($79,221 – $87,220).
Max pain point: The max pain for the contract expiring on 2026-10-30 is $78,000 (-2.5%), with a weighted average across all expirations at $78,000. Put/Call open interest ratio is 0.60, 25Δ skew +3.1 points.
Gamma structure: Net GEX within ±5% of the current price is $2.3M/1%, market makers are in a net long gamma position; gamma flip level is at $89,234 (+11.5%). The current price is below the flip level, so hedging desks will chase rallies and sell into dips, amplifying volatility.

$BTC Trump spoke very bluntly: currently negotiating a temporary peace agreement with Iran, and if it fails, military action will resume after the midterm elections. Vice President Pence has sent a letter to Tehran, with the external reason being to meet humanitarian needs.
A typical two-way message: one hand delivers a letter, the other keeps the gun.
The market prices this structure awkwardly. If the talks succeed, risk assets breathe a sigh of relief; if they collapse, oil prices jump first, then the dollar, followed by a broad sell-off in risk assets. Meanwhile, over the weekend and early morning, traditional markets are either closed or inactive, leaving only crypto trading pools that operate continuously and with leverage.
So every piece of such news ultimately impacts the $BTC market. It is the only thermometer open 24/7 during this round of geopolitical risks. Rising oil prices mean inflation expectations return, rate cuts get postponed, high-valuation growth assets get hit first, and the crypto market follows suit. This chain of events hasn't changed in recent years.
$ETH and SOL are more elastic; they fall sharply but rebound quickly, but they are second-layer. The first layer is always Bitcoin giving the direction: if it is stable, altcoins have a chance; if it breaks down, everything else follows. When watching the market, don't focus on small coins first; the order matters for direction.
The real risk is not the outbreak of war, but the uncertainty of its timing. A fixed date can be priced in advance; uncertain options can only keep suppressing valuations. During this window before the midterm elections, the market must carry this discount, and trading volume doesn't lie—low volume means funds are waiting, waiting for a date that can be calculated.$1250 ZEC, do you dare to bet?
On its 10th anniversary, ZEC dropped from 1690 to 1250. Retail investors curse that privacy coins are unused, but 4.9 million ZEC are locked in the shielded pool—Is this the final shakeout or the funeral of the privacy narrative?
Let's look at the surface first: 10th anniversary, price dropped.
24-hour drop of 4%-5.5%, market cap $20-21 billion, ranked 10th, trading volume $700-900 million. September peak was 1690, now retraced 26%. "Privacy coins are unused" "10th anniversary and this?"
But although it dropped, it still shows resilience relative to BTC. The shielded pool accounts for about 29%, approximately 4.9 million ZEC locked inside, and shielded transactions are still increasing.
Price is falling, but the number of privacy users is growing.
First point: On the 10th anniversary, institutions stayed, retail investors fled.
October 28 marked the 10th anniversary of the mainnet launch. Grayscale research specifically highlights its development fund model—about 20% of block rewards support the ecosystem. Although ZCSH-related products have seen recent redemption fluctuations, CoinShares’ Zcash ETP resumed trading in Paris after a brief suspension.
Retail investors cut losses on the anniversary day, institutions are watching the upgrade calendar around 1250.
Second point: NU7 upgrade on November 5, this is not a minor patch.
Expected activation on November 5 at block height ~3,543,405. Core changes:
Block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, payment confirmation speed increased about 3 times;
Block rewards proportionally reduced, daily issuance basically unchanged—not an inflation explosion;
Introduces NSM network sustainability mechanism, locking part of fees until about 2031 for release;
Disables old Sprout v4 transactions, Zebra 7.0.0 already supports this.
In plain terms: ZEC payments are faster, fees are locked in a "time capsule," short-term selling pressure is actually reduced.
Third point: Privacy is not a concept, it is a necessity in the regulatory and AI era.
ZEC is not a meme; it is a privacy asset supported by zero-knowledge proofs: transparent transactions are possible, shielded transactions are possible, max supply 21 million, circulating about 16.9-17 million. The ecosystem is still active: Zcash Labs launched a JS toolkit, Shield launched a private ZEC/USDCx market, Zillions wallet supports Ledger.
Think about it—when every transfer is watched by AI, is privacy a crime? No, privacy is a necessity.
Regulatory risks exist, privacy coins have always been monitored. But precisely because of this scrutiny, the usage rate of the shielded pool is a real demand vote: 4.9 million ZEC locked in is not driven by KOL hype.
Bull vs. bear, you decide:
On one side:
NU7 upgrade approaching November 5, block time 3x faster, NSM locks fees until 2031;
10th anniversary + institutional products resume trading, development fund model highlighted by Grayscale research;
Shielded pool about 4.9 million ZEC, real increase in privacy demand;
26% retracement from 1690, mid-term structure still a healthy pullback.
On the other side:
Fed held steady hawkishly on October 28, rates 3.75%-4%, December rate hike probability raised above 80%;
BTC weakly oscillating between 79,800-81,200, risk assets under pressure;
Governance disputes causing short-term sentiment disturbance;
Technical indicators MA50/200 and EMA clusters still suppressing, 1250 right at the 50-day moving average battle zone 1200-1270.
Key levels:
Resistance above: 1280-1300 → 1330-1350 → 1370-1400;
Support below: 1230-1235 → 1200-1210 → 1170-1180 → 1140-1150, strong support 1100-1050.
Daily RSI about 50 neutral, MACD momentum weakening. Holding 1200 and reclaiming 1300 could turn the correction wave higher; losing 1200, next stop 1100.
Trading strategy
Short term (1-7 days):
Bearish bias: if unable to hold 1280-1300, light short positions targeting 1230→1200, stop loss 1320-1350;
Bullish bias: buy lightly in batches at 1230-1250, add more after confirming 1200 holds, target 1280-1330, stop loss 1180;
To avoid being stopped out, wait 1-2 days before NU7 or for breakout confirmation.
Mid term (around upgrade to mid-November):
Focus on buying dips at 1200-1150 support zone, target 1400-1500, stop loss 1100 or break;
If breaks 1150 with volume, don't hold hard, wait and see first.
Total capital 5%-10%, perpetual leverage 3-5x, don't get greedy.
What is ZEC now?
Like a privacy experiment criticized for ten years, suddenly being revalued in the cracks of regulation and AI.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC $GOOGL Most chips bet on Google's earnings exceeding market expectations, trapped?
Google's earnings all fell short of market expectations, with free cash flow at -$9.065 billion, far below market expectations.
Long-term debt rose directly from $21.6 billion a year ago to $125.1 billion. The burn rate of AI investment has been rapidly amplified.
Currently, quite a lot of money has been invested in the AI project, but the monetization rate is relatively low.Today (October 29), the speculative focus in the Japanese stock market was highly concentrated, showing the characteristic of the index being strongly pulled up by a single leading stock, but with very poor internal breadth. The Nikkei 225 index closed up 1.10% at 64,659.47 points, but the number of declining stocks in the TOPIX Prime market (781) exceeded the number of advancing stocks (735), with capital choosing between a very small number of certain targets and macro defensive directions.
🚀 Absolute Core: AI Semiconductor Equipment Chain Triggered by Advantest's Earnings
Of the 705-point gain in the Nikkei today, about 453 points were contributed by a single stock, Advantest. Its earnings report released after the previous day's close became the ignition point for concentrated capital attack: revenue in the first half increased by 60.5% year-on-year, operating profit grew by 96.5%, and the full-year operating profit guidance was sharply raised from ¥846 billion to ¥967 billion, while announcing a buyback plan of up to ¥280 billion. Advantest's stock price jumped over 7% at the open and remained strong throughout the day.
Anchored by this, capital spread to the semiconductor chain: Tokyo Electron contributed about 58.66 points to the Nikkei's rise, Kioxia had high trading volume and significant intraday gains, Ibiden (AI packaging substrate) contributed about 51.51 points, and SoftBank Group contributed about 54.21 points. However, not all semiconductor stocks rose broadly; equipment stocks like TOWA and DISCO fell sharply in early trading, and MLCC/electronic component stocks such as Murata Manufacturing, Taiyo Yuden, and TDK were also sold off, indicating that capital was only willing to pay for a very few stocks with earnings already realized or upgraded.
🏦 Second Front: Financial, Resources, and Defensive Sectors
Beyond AI semiconductors, capital also flowed into several directions with independent logic. The banking sector was one of the strongest performers of the day, securities/commodity futures also posted gains, the non-ferrous metals sector led all industries, and mining and electric/gas sectors also recorded gains. These directions are unrelated to the AI narrative and represent defensive allocations of capital to interest rate-sensitive financial stocks and resource products amid macro uncertainty (before the Bank of Japan meeting and a pause in FOMC hawkishness).
📉 Bleeding and Divergence: Machinery, Electrical Machinery, and Stocks with "Good News Fully Priced In"
The declining directions were also clear. Machinery, electrical machinery, textiles, metals, and steel were among the worst-performing industries. Fanuc was the largest negative contributor to the Nikkei, while Hitachi and NEC, despite raising earnings guidance, were sold off by the market for being "not surprising enough." Ono Pharmaceutical plunged due to clinical trials failing to meet primary endpoints.
Intraday volatility is also noteworthy: the Nikkei's gain once exceeded 800 points in early trading, but as Samsung Electronics' semiconductor division reported operating profits below expectations and its stock price plunged, the Nikkei's gains rapidly narrowed and even briefly turned negative. It was only pulled back late in the session by an expected buy demand of about ¥1.1 trillion from the regular TOPIX rebalancing.
Summary: The essence of today's speculation in Japan is an "extreme reflection of Advantest's earnings far exceeding expectations"—capital compressed almost all bullish enthusiasm into the narrowest track of semiconductor testing and equipment, while using banks, non-ferrous metals, and other sectors for macro defense. The index's large rise masks the fact that most stocks declined, and the high concentration of the market means that once Advantest's earnings narrative is fully priced in, the index-level support will quickly thin out. The most important short-term validation point for $IONQ is the Q3 earnings report (expected around November 5). The core focus is on three points: whether revenue meets or exceeds the expected $141 million, whether the full-year guidance of $450–460 million is maintained or further raised, and management's comments on the integration progress of SkyWater and the delivery pace of Superion 256. If revenue exceeds expectations and guidance is not downgraded due to dilution pressure, there may be room for sentiment recovery at the current price level; conversely, if losses widen beyond expectations or financing signals are released again, downward pressure will continue.$DOGE brothers, DOGE dropped today, but the overall trend hasn't broken down. The lower boundary of the ascending channel hasn't been breached yet. The pullback today stabilized around 0.077, so it should still continue to rise.
Looking at the whales, currently the short-position whales have a higher proportion, and many short positions are already in profit. If there is a push to reach around 0.08 later, it could easily trigger short stop-losses, giving the market an extra boost.
However, the 0.08 resistance level is significant. Previously, when it surged to 0.08087, it was immediately pushed down, so it's not easy to hold above that level.
Dogecoin is the leader of Meme coins. To go far, it doesn't rely on solid fundamentals but on market sentiment. As long as the lower boundary of the channel isn't effectively broken, there is still a short-term chance to reach 0.08; if it breaks and holds above 0.08 with volume, then the space for further gains can open up. #闪迪存储业务高增长能否延续？ $SNDK $SKHYNIX $BTC
Korean stock market close: Positive news fully priced in, internal K-shaped divergence
KOSPI closed down 1.24% at 5937.66, after surging above 6100 intraday before sliding down. Samsung Electronics fell 4.13%, after rising 9% the previous day; the "strongest ever" earnings report turned into profit-taking — the market is trading not on past profits but on whether the next-generation HBM profit path can support the valuation. SK Hynix rose 2.62% against the trend, indicating that funds are not fully exiting semiconductors but are punishing stocks with narrative cracks and rewarding those with high supply-demand certainty. Institutions net sold 444.7 billion KRW, while foreign investors and retail investors net bought, showing more divergence than consensus.
Tonight's US stock market: Not a simple reflection of the Korean market decline, but "high open divergence, storage under pressure, giants hedging." Pre-market SK Hynix ADR fell over 2% due to delays in HBM4 equipment orders; memory stocks like Micron were under pressure; however, Microsoft rose 5% after hours providing a hedge, while Alphabet's 10% plunge due to capital expenditure cuts dampened AI infrastructure sentiment. Nasdaq futures have turned down 0.3%. If the storage sector narrows losses after open, it suggests Korean selling pressure is mostly local profit-taking; if losses widen, the pricing impact of HBM expansion delays is spreading from Seoul to Philadelphia. Watch for divergence tonight, not a one-sided move.Let me break down this OKX liquidation map for you guys; it contains a lot of information. The current price is 80090, look at where the densest liquidation bars are.
Below, from 78800 to 79300, the orange bars (100x leverage) are densely packed, with the highest bar reaching 25 million. This indicates a large number of stop-loss orders are here; if the price drops to this area, it will trigger a chain reaction of long liquidations, a nightmare for bulls.
Above, from 81500 to 82500, there is also a cluster of yellow bars (50x leverage), which is where short stop-loss orders are concentrated.
Now look at the two cumulative lines: the green line (short liquidation volume) climbs to 500 million above, while the red line (long liquidation volume) has dropped close to zero below. What does this mean? Shorts above 80,000 have already been liquidated once, but new longs have piled up around 79,000.
I think the current position is very delicate—1,000 dollars down is a dense long liquidation zone, and 1,500 dollars up is the short liquidation zone. Combined with the 1-hour MACD high-level death cross and the 80500 support broken, the market maker will likely push down first to clear out the longs around 79,000 before pulling back.
Don't try to bottom-fish at 80,000; wait until the longs around 79,000 are cleared first.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 #谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 #微软Q1营收增长，Azure增速至48%超预期 $BTC $ETH $ZEC In the 30 days leading up to October 24, applications on Solana generated about $158 million in revenue, while the chain itself only took in $3.3 million, nearly 48 times less. Users spent approximately $14.4 million daily on Solana and its various applications, with network fees accounting for only about 6% of that.
Revenue is concentrated in a few types of applications. Launch platforms alone account for more than one-third of application revenue, and combined with trading applications and DEXs, these three categories make up about two-thirds. Looking at Pump alone, its 30-day revenue ranges between $39 million and $58 million, with significant differences depending on the measurement method. In August and September, Solana's application revenues were $143 million and $144 million respectively, with September accounting for 31% of the total revenue across 356 chains, ranking first among all chains for nine consecutive quarters. In the same 30-day period, this figure was 2.9 times that of Ethereum and 2.1 times that of Hyperliquid.
Revenue is very sensitive to speculative enthusiasm. After January 2025, as the market cooled, Solana's application revenue dropped 79% by March, while Base fell 57% and Ethereum 30% during the same period.
On-chain activity is lively, but token prices do not necessarily rise accordingly. Ethereum's total DeFi locked value is $49.2 billion, while Solana's is $5.8 billion. Of the stakers' income in Q3, about 98% came from newly issued SOL, with fee sharing being only a small fraction. $SOL $BTC Brothers, the market is showing very obvious divergence signals again. The overall market is slightly moving down, and both Bitcoin and Ethereum are not falling sharply, but the sentiment between longs and shorts in the contracts has already diverged.
Currently, BTC's funding rate is stuck in the middle, neither leaning bullish nor bearish; everyone is still watching and not betting decisively on one side. In contrast, Ethereum is different; its funding rate has dropped below the bearish line, indicating that more people in the contracts are bearish and more willing to short ETH. $ETH
Simply put, whenever the market stirs a bit, Ethereum tends to fall harder than Bitcoin. We've discussed before that whales have been cashing out, ETF funds are weak, and now contract sentiment is following suit, meaning negative factors are piling up.
But remember, the funding rate only reflects current sentiment; it doesn't mean a big drop is guaranteed once this signal appears. Sometimes, when shorts pile up too much, a sharp rally can occur to squeeze the shorts.
In this kind of divergent market, don't just blindly short ETH because it looks weak. If Bitcoin holds and doesn't crash, Ethereum is unlikely to experience a large drop on its own; but if Bitcoin breaks down, Ethereum's decline will likely be amplified. Contract traders must distinguish this clearly: right now, Ethereum is the more fragile one in the market, carrying higher risk than BTC.

#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $UNI As of the end of August 2026, approximately 110 million UNI tokens have been burned in total, including a one-time treasury burn of 100 million tokens, and about 10 million tokens burned continuously through protocol fee switches.
Therefore: the one-time burn has already offset the "annual 20 million token inflation budget"; however, the continuous burn currently only partially covers it and has not yet been proven stable enough to cover it long-term.
Actual burn progress
Category Data Meaning
One-time burn 100 million UNI Executed on-chain on December 28, 2025, as retrospective compensation, not continuous revenue burn
Cumulative burn About 110 million tokens As of August 31, 2026, total burn value is approximately $630 million
Continuous burn About 10 million tokens From v2/v3 protocol fees, Unichain sequencer fees, etc., not part of the 100 million tokens
Recent peak Single-day high of about 186,000 tokens Record set in June 2026; multiple days exceeding 100,000 tokens burned after August
Recent average Daily burn value exceeding $400,000 since August Estimated at tens of thousands of tokens daily at current prices, annualized still below 20 million tokens
How does this compare to the "annual 20 million tokens"?
To be continuedDon't be brainwashed by the news of Sun Yuchen's $PEPE holdings to chase the price high! This is just an emotional play!
Recently, the whole community has been flooding this news: Arkham tagged addresses associated with Sun Yuchen that have been accumulating large amounts of PEPE within ten days, holding nearly 3% of the total supply at a cost of 0.000004115. Once the news broke, it immediately sparked a wave of hype and price surge. But everyone must be clear on the key point: the address is only an on-chain tag, and Sun himself has not publicly commented yet. Plus, everyone knows Sun's meme tactics—hype is always created to facilitate cashing out.
Combined with the unexpectedly hawkish Fed overnight, BTC and ETH are under collective pressure, and the entire crypto market's risk appetite has cooled down. Meme coins have no fundamental support; they rely on capital and stories. In a weakening market environment, this kind of hype-driven rally has very poor sustainability. Once big holders start selling off in batches, the dumping speed will be beyond imagination.
Direction is clear: absolutely do not chase the high! Short in the rebound range of 0.0000051-0.0000052, with the first target at 0.0000046.
Remember, Sun's chips were bought at low prices, so there is ample profit margin to dump. The news is just to find bag holders inside the market; don't expect the main force to carry everyone for free. With macro headwinds pressing down, meme hype comes fast and goes even faster. Don't catch the last high baton! The most important observation point for $QNT in the near term is the Q3 earnings report on November 5th—whether revenue growth can continue at a high pace, whether there are signs of marginal narrowing of losses, and the management's statements on the release schedule of Sol will be the first substantial test to determine if the current price level has fundamental support. Before that, the weak technical pattern and the upcoming earnings uncertainty mean that QNT is a high-risk, high-volatility, strongly narrative-driven asset. Its price behavior mainly reflects market sentiment pricing on the long-term prospects of quantum computing rather than current financial performance. #谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 #GoogleQ3MixedResults
This quarter, $GOOGL was in a fierce tug-of-war. On one hand, driven by AI demand, Google Cloud soared an astonishing 103% to $30.7 billion. On the other hand, aggressive AI infrastructure spending pushed capital expenditures to $51.4 billion, resulting in its first negative free cash flow growth in decades. Wall Street is clearly highly focused on the short-term costs of the AI race right now.Ripple expects its product revenue to reach $900 million on an annualized basis by the end of the year. At first, I thought the business was doing well, but then I got stuck: is this expectation already priced into XRP? The company's revenue growth and the additional demand for the token seem to need separate consideration. Just looking at this news, I really can't judge whether the buying is waiting for the performance to be realized or if this expectation has already been traded long ago.$HYPE
First, I admit a mistake. Two hours ago, I wrote about HYPE, saying 78 held twice and the support looked okay. Just now I checked the on-chain data again; a certain address transferred 694,300 HYPE to Coinbase Prime and FalconX. At the current price, that's over $53 million, even bigger than the $38 million transfer earlier today. Both are outlets for selling.
Current price is 79.1, down 3% in 24 hours, touching 82.4 on the upside and dipping to 78.1 on the downside. Contract open interest is still nearly $100 million, with slightly positive funding rates, so the bulls haven't given up.
Nearly 5% of supply has been burned, platform revenue hit a new high, and all the news is positive. The price now only recognizes one thing: who's selling.
I change my stance. The two legs at 78 looked solid, but it seems more like someone is playing both sides—buying at the bottom and selling at the top. I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks again; chasing longs or shorts at this level isn't worth it, just let it play out.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Today (October 29), the A-share market broadly showed a pattern of index-wide declines, highly defensive capital, and thematic battles. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.82% to close at 3651.43 points, the Shenzhen Component Index dropped 2.92%, the ChiNext Index plunged 4.45%, and the STAR 50 Index declined 4.27%. Over 4,700 stocks across the market fell, with turnover shrinking to 1.57 trillion yuan. Capital massively withdrew from growth sectors like electronics and semiconductors, instead clustering around defensive sectors such as banking, coal, and food & beverage, while engaging in localized thematic battles in policy-driven areas like commercial aerospace and robotics.
🛡️ Main Theme One: Safe Haven and Dividend Clustering — Banking, Coal, and Consumer Staples
This is the "safety cushion" direction where capital concentrated most today, characterized by high dividends, low valuations, and stable cash flow.
Banks were the strongest ballast throughout the day. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Construction Bank hit new historical highs, with the total market value of the Big Four banks surpassing 10 trillion yuan for the first time. Qingdao Bank rose over 7%. The Shenwan Banking Industry Index saw a net inflow of over 2.6 billion yuan from main funds, standing out amid widespread market outflows.
Coal also strengthened in tandem. Kailuan Co. hit the daily limit, Haohua Energy, Shanxi Coking Coal, and Dayou Energy followed suit, and China Shenhua’s intraday stock price reached a new high. China Petroleum also hit an 18.5-year high since March 2008. High-dividend sectors like oil and power all rose against the market trend.
Consumer staples made localized breakthroughs centered on food and beverages. Qingdao Food advanced to a fourth consecutive daily limit, Babi Food and Huifa Food both hit daily limits, with Yiming Food and Tianwei Food following. Food and beverage sectors saw a net inflow of over 2.2 billion yuan from main funds, and the liquor sector also attracted more than 1 billion yuan net inflow.
🚀 Main Theme Two: Thematic Battles Under Policy Catalysts — Commercial Aerospace, Robotics, and Ice & Snow Economy
In a weak index environment, themes with clear policy catalysts became targets for short-term capital concentration.
Commercial aerospace was the most recognizable theme today. The catalyst was Shanghai’s six departments publicly releasing the Satellite Internet Industry Development Action Plan (2027–2030), proposing that by 2030, Shanghai’s satellite internet industry will have over 3,000 satellites in orbit and a core industry scale exceeding 80 billion yuan. Within the sector, multiple stocks including China Satellite, Aerospace Morning Light, Shanghai Hugong, Shunhao Co., Shanghai Harbor, and Western Materials hit daily limits. The aerospace equipment sector index surged nearly 8% intraday with turnover more than doubling compared to yesterday. The military-civil fusion sector saw a net inflow of over 4 billion yuan from main funds, with low-altitude economy, commercial aerospace, and large aircraft sectors each attracting over 3 billion yuan net inflow.
The robotics concept continued its strength but with increasing internal divergence. Guangyang Co. achieved a fourth consecutive daily limit, Dongbei Group a third, and Shandong Mining Machinery, Lianming Co., and Yujing Co. each had two consecutive daily limits. The driving force comes from the "Shanghai Action Plan to Accelerate the Development of a New Generation of Intelligent Manufacturing," which proposes promoting 8,000 humanoid robots into factories and an AI-enabled new intelligent manufacturing equipment industry scale exceeding 200 billion yuan. However, the sector showed clear high-level divergence, with earlier popular stocks hitting limit-downs, and capital shifting from pure chasing to a "high-low cut" strategy.
The ice and snow economy was catalyzed by the season. Ice Mountain Cold and Longjiang Transportation hit daily limits, with the ice and snow tourism concept gaining capital attention as winter approaches.
Additionally, the short drama concept saw Wentu Holdings record 4 daily limits in 7 days, and film theater direction stocks like Hengdian Film and Xiangyuan Cultural Tourism hit daily limits, representing localized rotation within media.
📉 Outflow Direction: Semiconductors and Computing Hardware Face Systematic Sell-off
The harshest direction today was precisely the tech growth mainline that was recovering the previous day. The semiconductor sector saw a net outflow of 13.64 billion yuan from main funds throughout the day, with communication equipment and components also experiencing large outflows. The electronics sector overall had a net outflow exceeding 25.3 billion yuan, and communications net outflow exceeded 8.9 billion yuan.
Individual stock declines were extremely severe: Tianfu Communication intraday nearly hit a 20% limit down, closing down nearly 19%; New Ease dropped over 10%, Zhongji Xuchuang fell over 8%, Dongshan Precision hit limit down, and multiple stocks including Guangku Technology, Liante Technology, Changyingtong, and Baiwei Storage fell over 10%. The trigger was Google and Samsung’s earnings missing market expectations, shaking confidence in the AI camp, compounded by the previous day’s violent rebound in computing hardware driven by SK Hynix’s earnings report, leading profit-taking after external negative news.
💎 Summary
The core contradiction in today’s A-share market is "the external validation of the AI narrative has cracked, forcing capital to shrink from growth narratives toward certainty and policy narratives." The earnings flaws of Google and Samsung abruptly ended the computing hardware recovery ignited by SK Hynix the day before, with the semiconductor sector’s single-day net outflow of over 13.6 billion yuan as the most direct evidence. Meanwhile, banking, coal, and food & beverage sectors absorbed safe-haven capital due to high dividends and low valuations, with the Big Four banks’ total market value surpassing 10 trillion yuan marking a milestone. Commercial aerospace and robotics, driven by clear local policy catalysts in Shanghai, became among the few sustainable thematic battle directions amid weakness. This "dividend defense + policy theme" combination is likely to remain the main capital refuge until macro uncertainties (Fed hawkish pause, AI earnings divergence) are resolved.$GOOGL
A friend messaged me late at night saying AI trading was over and Google's earnings report dragged the market down. I replied that it’s not AI that’s falling, but AI’s bill.
Google’s Q3 revenue was $127.6 billion, up 25% year-over-year, but the problem lies elsewhere: diluted EPS was $2.12, 30% below analysts’ expectation of $3.02. This is the first time in nearly four years that it missed both revenue and profit. Even worse, free cash flow turned negative $9.1 billion, compared to positive $24.4 billion in the same period last year. Capital expenditures were $51.4 billion, doubling year-over-year, and the company said it will continue to increase significantly through 2027.
The market wants you to spend money and get profits in return. Now profits haven’t come, but the bill has arrived first. The stock price dropped over 10% to 290 in after-hours trading.
On OKX, Google tokens are now at 292, with $130 million traded in 24 hours and an open interest of 37 million. Some are really betting on contracts that it will continue to fall.
I don’t think this is a collapse of AI faith; it’s just that the payers are feeling the pain first. The big model business is still early, and cash flow will filter out those who can’t afford to play.
Tonight, PCE and GDP will collide again with earnings season. A takeaway: going forward, what to watch is not how much Google falls, but whose free cash flow turns positive first.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Binance Contracts are launching six US stock perpetuals tonight; it's not the variety that's fierce, but the timing.
Starting at 18:05, six USDT-margined perpetuals for Brazilian small-cap ETF, NuScale, Occidental Petroleum, Amgen, Pfizer, and MercadoLibre will open in six batches, one every five minutes, with the last batch at 18:30. All offer 20x leverage, run 24/7 nonstop, settle funding fees every 8 hours, with funding fee caps at ±2%, and a minimum order size of 5 USDT.
The key is the timing. After the Nasdaq closes and New York goes dark, these stock contracts keep moving. Earnings reports come after hours, news arrives at midnight; previously, you had to wait for the next day’s open, but now prices move immediately in one direction. The US stock market’s opening price mechanism is brought into a market that never closes.
For those trading $BTC and $ETH, this is not just about more instruments. With the same margin and account, you can hedge stock risk over the weekend and use US stock crashes at midnight to leverage crypto positions. Volatility in the two markets is starting to infect each other.
Behind the excitement, two points must be clear. Stock perpetuals have no real stock delivery; prices rely on indices and funding fees to revert, so extreme discounts or premiums can be exaggerated. With 20x leverage combined with 24/7 trading and no closing to cool off, a single spike can liquidate a batch of traders.
Tools have become stronger, but tolerance for error has shrunk. The candlestick before Monday’s open will be crazier than before.After watching Google's report, I looked at Microsoft's earnings report. Why can Microsoft rise pre-market after the earnings report as well? Microsoft's earnings report continues the analysis model used for Google, looking at five key factors: revenue + AI capital expenditure + free cash flow + future guidance + Azure or AI monetization. Revenue: excellent, growth is accelerating again, with revenue, operating profit, earnings per share (EPS), and cloud business performance all exceeding expectations. AI capital expenditure: very high, and under capital expansion, there is guaranteed growth in Azure and AI revenue, representing effective and healthy expansionary capital spending, which gives the market more confidence compared to Google's capital expenditure. Free cash flow: still growing, maintaining positive FCF despite over a hundred billion in AI infrastructure investment in one year. Although free cash flow is still suppressed by capital expenditure, there is performance assurance, at least maintaining a breakeven. #微软Q1营收增长，Azure增速至48%超预期 Azure: the core business remains the strongest data in the earnings report, with a year-over-year growth of 48%. Looking back over the past few quarters, it has risen from 39% to 48%. Azure continues to accelerate on such a large revenue base, further confirming that Microsoft's AI commercialization is becoming more complete. Future guidance: expected next quarter Azure constant currency growth to rise to 49%-50%. Once next quarter's data is achieved, it will continue to prove that Azure's growth is still in an acceleration phase. AI Monetization: Microsoft's AI monetization is not yetThe $BTC Glassnode weekly report clearly points out that BTC faces significant resistance at the $85,000 mark, with recent rebounds repeatedly blocked in the $84,000–$85,000 range. This price level is critical due to the cost distribution of long-term holders—approximately 4 million BTC were purchased in the $85,000–$118,000 range, with more than half of the purchase prices above the current price, creating substantial potential selling pressure to break even. Once the price rises near this area, long-term holders tend to sell to realize breakeven, thereby suppressing upward momentum. Since the rebound in September, BTC's daily closing price has only exceeded $85,000 on 5 days, with the longest consecutive period above this level being just 3 days. Burn rate surged 42,886%, so why can't SHIB still rise? — A breakdown of the "deflation illusion"
SHIB's 24-hour burn rate soared 42,886%, with two large transactions burning about 1.42 million tokens, and a historical cumulative burn reaching 410.85 trillion tokens. However, during the same period, net spot fund inflows into exchanges, selling volume dominance, funding rates dropping to 0.0036%, and RSI and MFI remaining below the neutral line were observed. The core judgment of this article is: burning is a "stock subtraction," while selling pressure is a flow issue; the former changes the narrative, the latter determines the price. The key watershed is at $0.00000483 — holding it allows for recovery, losing it opens the downside.
The most easily misunderstood aspect of SHIB is that its community culture and asset attributes are two different things. The community enthusiasm is real, and the sincerity of burning is real, but none of these directly translate into buying pressure. The crypto market ultimately recognizes only one thing: whether new money is coming in.
The current data answers: no. Chips in exchanges are increasing, leveraged longs are decreasing, indicators are recovering but have not crossed the midline. This is a typical market with excess heat but insufficient funds.
Therefore, before $0.00000483 is effectively held with volume expansion, I prefer to define this round of market action as a technical breather within a downtrend continuation. Burn data is worth recording but not chasing the rise.
#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 $SHIB
A decade ago, card settlement hardly involved on-chain assets; in Visa's latest fiscal quarter report, the annualized run rate for stablecoin settlements reached about $25 billion—approximately a 10-fold year-over-year increase.
What happened: The CEO revealed during the earnings call that the number of supported blockchains doubled from last year to about 10, with settlements launched across five regions; asset types include USDC, USDG, EURC, PYUSD, and others. Another line of business is the stablecoin co-branded card project, which has over 225 cards—this is a separate metric from settlement volume, so don't confuse the two.
Why it matters: Traditional payment giants are laying the groundwork by treating stablecoins as "settlement fiat," showing impressive growth; however, compared to Visa Direct's roughly $1.5 trillion volume, this is still just a fraction, and the 10-fold increase mostly comes from a very low base. The annualized pace does not equal the total amount settled in the year, nor does it mean stablecoins are replacing card payments.
Confidence level: Company financial disclosures. Are you more focused on the continued rise in settlement run rate, or on whether real spending on co-branded cards is keeping pace?
$USDC $ETH $PYUSDSanDisk is about to announce its new quarterly earnings report. What I most want to remind myself is not to replace today's judgment criteria with past low baselines.
The company's previous guidance for this quarter already indicated revenue between $10.3 billion and $10.8 billion, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $44 to $46. In other words, the market was already expecting a very strong performance.
Year-over-year growth is particularly high, which is certainly commendable, but it may not be enough to constitute a new surprise. Where the final results land within the original guidance, and how management describes the next quarter, will influence investors' subsequent judgments.
If this quarter's results are impressive but next quarter's outlook becomes cautious, the stock price may come under pressure; if growth continues to be supported by orders and deliveries, the market has more reason to extend this optimism.
I am not pessimistic about storage demand, but after several rounds of earnings reports, I am increasingly reluctant to directly link "strong performance growth" with "post-earnings stock price increase."
When the company announces the previous quarter's results, investors have already started pricing in the next quarter. When the numbers truly materialize, everyone naturally looks further ahead.
So tonight, I will first compare the actual results with the company's original guidance, then listen to the subsequent arrangements. High growth is already the baseline requirement for this test; what really tests SanDisk is whether it can continue to deliver content that exceeds expectations.
