[Pre-Resolution Forecast | Overall BTC & ETH Trend Outlook (Until the Early Morning Fed Meeting on 10.29)]
Overall Tone: Range-bound oscillation, tug-of-war consolidation, difficult to trend unilaterally
📌BTC Range: 79300–80800, relatively stable fluctuations, serving as the market anchor, with relatively controllable upper and lower wick amplitudes
📌ETH Range: 2300–2364, much more elastic than BTC, with sharper ups and downs within the oscillation, making stop-loss sweeps more frequent
Market Characteristics: Mainly cautious capital, most unwilling to bet in advance, likely to repeatedly wash long and short positions within the range;
Only when there are significant movements in US Treasury bonds or the US dollar will the range's upper or lower boundaries be tested in advance.
👉Key Point: All short-term market moves should be primarily defined as fluctuations within a range, not as trend movements.
Major directional or unilateral trends are more likely to start after the Fed resolution and Powell's speech are released.
Risk Warning: This is only a market logic sharing, not any trading advice. Range-bound markets carry high risk of liquidation on both sides; please manage risk properly. $PENDLE
Yield markets become particularly interesting when investors disagree about future interest rates, incentives, and the sustainability of DeFi returns. Pendle separates yield-bearing assets into principal and yield components, creating markets for different risk preferences. That design is distinctive, but demand can fluctuate as incentives change and yields compress. Protocol revenue, liquidity quality, and activity beyond temporary reward campaigns are useful measures of its underlying According to relevant data, $ETH major buyer BitMine (@bitmnr) is only 0.05 percentage points away from the goal of holding 5% of the total ETH supply. As this target approaches, the potential for continued accumulation through the open market may change in the future. 📊 Three key points: 🔹 Staking rewards: Currently, 5.23 million ETH have been staked. Based on an annualized yield of 2.58%, theoretically about 135,000 ETH staking rewards can be generated per year, meaning there is no need to fully rely on secondary market purchases to increase ETH holdings. 🔹 Stock buyback: The planned $400 million stock buyback, if it can reduce the number of outstanding shares and control equity dilution, may increase the ETH value per share. 🔹 Difference from BTC treasury model: Bitcoin itself does not generate native staking rewards, whereas ETH can earn rewards through staking, providing companies holding large amounts of ETH with another potential source of income. 💡 The core logic is shifting: In the past, the market focused more on how much ETH a company cumulatively holds; going forward, investors may need to pay more attention to the ETH per share. Even if total ETH holdings growth slows, as long as staking rewards continue to accumulate and the number of shares is effectively controlled, the ETH per share may still increase. ⚠️ However, it is important to note that staking yields may vary, stock buybacks do not necessarily lead to an increase in value per share, and the final outcome depends on buyback price, equity dilution, and other company factors.In this earnings season, A Jian's view remains that AI is supporting the current high-interest-rate economic environment in the US. This was evident from Micron's earnings report at the beginning of the month. AI capital expenditure is far from receding at this point. HBM and high-end DRAM have become significant bottlenecks for AI servers, which means the beneficiaries of the AI industry chain won't always be just GPU companies. Capital expenditure will expand outward along the chain from chips → memory → servers → power → data centers. South Korea's terrifying 83.5% year-on-year export growth in September is enough to prove this, with the biggest driving force being the hardware demand brought by AI.
Therefore, AI capital expenditure will eventually spread globally through the supply chain. When looking at the AI industry chain, don't just focus on GPUs. I know many friends often regret not getting on board earlier, but in my view, AI is still in its early stages. Just like a true bull market, there are always opportunities to get on board. Micron's latest earnings report has already given a very clear signal that HBM is becoming one of the bottlenecks.
That's all, DYOR #SK Hynix Q3 earnings are coming soon, can HBM4 boost profitability? $SNDK: After a nearly 30% pullback from the highs, is it time to focus on opportunities?
Recently, SanDisk's price action has been somewhat alarming, dropping significantly from the highs in early October. The market is starting to worry whether the storage rally is coming to an end. But I think it's still too early to write off SNDK.
First, let's look at the fundamentals. Based on the current data, SanDisk's FY2026 revenue and profit growth are strong, and the company’s guidance for next quarter’s revenue, EPS, and gross margin is quite optimistic. What really matters is not just how much money was made in the past, but whether growth can continue to be delivered going forward. Second, AI data centers bring not only GPU demand but also an indispensable need for massive data storage. If enterprise SSD and NAND demand continue to grow, storage prices and product mix could become drivers of profit growth. Now, looking at the stock price. SNDK had a big run-up before, and the recent pullback indicates that high-level capital is repricing. Short-term, further volatility cannot be ruled out, but if it can stabilize around $1200 and then break out with volume above $1300, the rebound and recovery potential is worth watching.
My view: Still moderately bullish in the medium term, with short-term focus on whether the earnings report can continue to beat expectations.
The earnings report on October 29 is a key observation point. If results and guidance remain strong, the market may reassess its growth potential; conversely, if expectations are too high or guidance disappoints, greater volatility could occur.
The AI storage theme is not ending so easily; the key is whether SNDK can keep delivering results.After the recent surge of $BTW, many people are discussing whether it is Sun Ge's project. I checked the public information and indeed found some clues worth paying attention to. Project financing background: Public financing records show that $BTW completed about $4.444 million in seed round financing in January 2026, with investors including TRON. The truly worrisome part: The project has investment background related to Sun Ge's ecosystem, combined with highly concentrated holdings, no wonder the market has various speculations. But it must be clarified: TRON DAO's participation in investment does not equal Sun Ge personally holding the tokens; who owns the large addresses cannot currently be confirmed solely based on holding proportions.BCH is showing relative strength, with intraday rebounds leading many mainstream coins, indicating that existing funds are beginning to seek resilience in established payment coins. BCH's market trends often depend more on trading sentiment, circulating supply, and miner ecology; fundamental news may not immediately impact the short term. The overall market is still fluctuating, and BCH's ability to independently recover suggests some willingness for speculation; however, to turn the short-term rally into a sustained trend, more substantial trading volume and sector resonance are still needed. $BCHSaylor hits the pause button, don’t rush to call a bull turnaround
Saylor, who has been continuously "recharging faith" in BTC, surprisingly made zero purchases last week and instead spent $205 million to buy back 2.06 million shares of STRC preferred stock, while holding steady on his 840,000+ BTC. The shift in style naturally makes the market murmur: is the biggest clear bull stepping back?
Don’t get confused by the "capital structure optimization." STRC has floating dividends, so the buyback can reduce future interest burdens; more realistically, spending this money means fewer short-term funds to buy coins. Looking at the books, only $240 million in regular cash remains, and the rest of the reserves must be kept for paying dividends and debt interest, so it’s not something that can be moved at will.
Is this a sign of retreat? Not necessarily, but there is definitely financial pressure. Short-term sentiment is bearish: BTC has been bottoming around 80,000, and with the largest bull suddenly stopping purchases, the market loses a key pillar, so expecting an immediate V-shaped rebound is unrealistic.
Don’t be quick to declare the bull market dead; he’s adjusting finances, not liquidating and running. Next, watch two things: when he resumes buying coins and how much cash remains on the books. In terms of action, don’t catch a falling knife: if BTC drops to 79,000–80,000 on low volume and stabilizes, then consider picking up some bloodied chips; if it breaks below 79,000 directly, wait for 77,000 before reassessing. ETH, stay away for now.

Korean, Hong Kong, and A-shares closing review (October 27): US semiconductor stocks surged, but where is the money flowing out from in Korean, Hong Kong, and A-shares, and where is it attacking?
Last night, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 3%, Nvidia up 3%, ARM up 6%. When the Asian market opened today, money did move, but the direction was not quite what you expected.
Korean stocks were the strongest. KOSPI closed up 3.09%, SK Hynix soared 5.18%, Samsung rose 4.23%. Foreign investors net bought Samsung for 220.8 billion KRW, but SK Hynix was sold off by 41 billion KRW. To translate: Samsung was covered by foreign investors, SK Hynix was short covering, not new money entering.
In Hong Kong stocks, the Hang Seng Index rose 118 points to close at 23,211, but northbound funds have withdrawn for 9 consecutive days, pulling out another 2.08 billion HKD today. Alibaba was sold for 600 million HKD, CNOOC 500 million, SMIC 310 million. Where did the money go? Zhipu absorbed 430 million, Baidu 270 million, UBTech 140 million. Big stocks are being drained, AI applications and small robots are taking over.
A-shares are the most honest. The Shanghai Composite fell 1.33%, the ChiNext Index dropped 3.41%, with turnover shrinking to 1.47 trillion CNY. Semiconductors were heavily sold by main forces with a net 7.6 billion CNY outflow, components and software sectors retreated across the board. But banks bucked the trend, absorbing 770 million CNY, with Construction Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank hitting new highs again. The index is falling, money is hiding, the defensive stance is very clear.
The US semiconductor surge is someone else’s excitement; the real action in the Asian session today is—Korean stocks short covering, continued northbound fund withdrawal in Hong Kong stocks, and A-shares pulling money out of tech into banks.💰 20x short position earns 200%, but the truth is the asset only dropped 9.68%
Someone showed off small coin shorts: one gained 42%, another nearly 200%. It looks like a god-level call, but breaking it down, it’s not.
DOOD opened at an average price of 0.00247, current price 0.002231, the asset actually only dropped 9.68%, with 20x leverage magnifying it to 193% profit. The direction was right, but the profit came from leverage, not the trend.
The harsh reality: if the same 9.68% moved the other way, this position would be wiped out completely, not just a pullback. The so-called safety cushion is only 5% against 20x leverage, a single spike can pierce through.
Looking at the market, BTC 79886 is still grinding below 80800, 24-hour volume shrank to 1.2 billion USDT, 79200 is the boundary between bulls and bears; ZEC rose 3.5% against the trend to 1240, small coins have elasticity here, which is also where they are most vulnerable to a counterattack.
Conclusion: small fluctuations combined with high leverage look like getting rich quick, but essentially amplify the liquidation risk.
📊 Investment advice
• BTC — Bullish
Take Profit (TP): $86,300
Stop Loss (SL): $73,500
• ETH — Bullish
Take Profit (TP): $2,595
Stop Loss (SL): $2,039
⚠️ Disclaimer: The above is personal opinion only and does not constitute investment advice. The market is volatile, please DYOR, risk at your own discretion. Current US inflation has fallen less than expected, oil prices remain high, the market worries about an inflation rebound, and expects the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates longer, even keeping the option for further rate hikes.
$BTC is a non-interest-bearing high-risk asset; as US Treasury yields rise and holding risk-free bonds yields more, institutions will reduce crypto asset positions; the current market focus is on the Federal Reserve's policy meeting statements, where even without a rate hike, hawkish remarks will suppress BTC. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The tug-of-war around 8k continues, but the direction will come soon.

The profit-taking supply ratio of short-term holders (STH) has dropped from nearly 100% in late September to about 70%. Recent buyers have moved out of the strong sell-off zone, significantly easing profit-taking pressure and creating better entry conditions for those expecting trend continuation.
BTC is holding near 80k and above the 50-week moving average at 75.8k. Although it has been weak within the month, it has not broken the key support at 79k–79.4k.
Institutional progress: Ripple has received final approval from the OCC, tokenized assets are advancing, and ETF funds are mixed inflows. Coupled with the Federal Reserve likely maintaining interest rates, macro risk premiums are limited, supporting light long positions rather than heavy ones.
Trend analysis:
$BTC is oscillating between 79k–81k in the short term; holding 79k could target 81k–82k, while breaking below may test 76k–78k.
$ETH is around 2300, relatively weak, mainly following the trend;
$XRP is relatively resistant to decline due to regulatory benefits.
Overall, waiting for the Fed decision to set the direction, light long positions with stop-loss below 79k are advisable, controlling position size to guard against macro volatility.$LINK oracle demand is growing, but why doesn't it necessarily immediately boost the token? The commercial value of cross-chain and data services depends on the scale of payments, staking demand, and whether revenue can be transmitted to the token. High valuation assets may first be affected by interest rate expectations before the FOMC. If on-chain payments and staking increase simultaneously after cooperation is implemented, the logic is more solid; if there are many announcements but few actual settlements, I would downgrade the growth quality assessment. If the ETF fund flows of BTC and ETH start telling two different stories, what is the market really voting with real money? 🫧 When I saw the preliminary data on October 26, I was a bit stunned: BTC spot ETF net inflow was $110.3 million, while ETH had a net outflow of $88.6 million. The numbers aren't large, but the fact that the directions are opposite is more worth watching than the absolute values. Narrative fatigue is already quite obvious in this market cycle. Altcoins keep telling new stories, but fewer people are willing to take the baton; BTC has instead become the option that "looks the least exciting but requires the least explanation." ETF fund flows just bring this psychology to the surface. Institutional allocation doesn't care much about weekly price changes; they care more about certainty, and right now certainty is on BTC's side. The bullish path is clear: as long as this inflow is not a one-day pulse but holds steady for several weeks, BTC spot buying will gradually raise the cost basis area, potentially compressing the depth of pullbacks, and risk appetite will shift from "chasing altcoins" to "holding core assets." If ETH outflows are only temporary, once the narrative reconnects, the catch-up upside remains. But risks are also hidden here. Single-day data is noisy, and mistaking it for a trend can backfire; more importantly, if ETH's continuous bleeding becomes the norm, it will weaken the emotional anchor of the entire altcoin sector, and no matter how stable BTC is, it will be hard to stand alone. Crowd psychology is now oscillating between hesitation and FOMO, and in this state, it is easiest to mistake a single capital inflow for a full reversal. My judgment is $590 million short position portfolio revealed: ETH alone profitable, BTC and SOL under pressure
On-chain monitoring shows a mysterious trader holding a total perpetual contract position of $590 million, simultaneously shorting BTC, ETH, and SOL, all using 5x full margin mode. The profit and loss of the three positions are clearly differentiated: the ETH short position currently has an unrealized profit of $3.612 million, the BTC short position an unrealized loss of $4.8169 million, and the SOL short position an unrealized loss of $2.3623 million. However, funding fee income provides a buffer, with the three recording $2.7376 million, $3.2802 million, and $497,500 respectively.
Opening prices are $78,114.4 for BTC, $2,375.32 for ETH, and $91.4175 for SOL; corresponding liquidation prices are $131,682.7, $4,287.71, and $593.95, which are far from current prices, providing a sufficient safety margin. Overall, this account is not chasing short-term rallies or dips but aims for long-term short pressure and continuous funding fee earnings. The profit and loss of the three short positions are diverging; attention should be paid to whether BTC and SOL can recover their unrealized losses.

Experts take you for an in-depth analysis!
Hello everyone! Today, let's talk about a hot topic in the crypto world—the potential impact of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections on the Bitcoin (BTC) market! As election day draws near, the market is filled with discussions about the "risk asset curse," especially how BTC, as a high-risk asset, will react.
First, we know that the policy uncertainty brought by the midterm elections directly affects the performance of risk assets. The key lies in who controls Congress, which will influence fiscal spending, tax policies, and regulatory intensity. This uncertainty often prompts rapid capital withdrawal, leading to a decrease in risk appetite.
From historical data, the BTC market performance before and after the last four midterm elections (2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022) does not fully align with external expectations. For example, BTC's price nearly halved one month after the 2018 election, while it rose 31.6% in the 30 days following the 2010 election. This shows that not every midterm election leads to a BTC decline; rather, the intense market volatility after the election may represent an opportunity for capital reallocation.
Furthermore, BTC's connection with traditional financial markets is becoming increasingly close. BTC behaves more like a high-beta risk asset, heavily influenced by the U.S. stock market, dollar liquidity, and global risk appetite. Therefore, the policy expectation changes brought by the midterm elections will inevitably be reflected in BTC's price.3.1 billion contract positions versus 17.2 billion circulating market value, HYPE's open interest accounts for about 18% of the market value. How should this ratio be interpreted?
Conclusion first: it's not low, but not out of control yet. Horizontally, mainstream coins often see open interest ratios exceed 20% at emotional peaks. An 18% ratio indicates that the leverage on $HYPE is significant, but after prior clearing, it’s no longer a hot potato. The real value of this indicator lies in its amplification effect on volatility: the heavier the positions, the more a price move can trigger a chain of forced liquidations, turning small fluctuations into a one-sided market, with both rises and falls amplified by leverage.
So rather than fixating on the 18% figure, it’s better to watch its trend. If positions decrease and prices consolidate, that’s healthy deleveraging; if positions rapidly accumulate without price increases, it means directional positions are being built again, rearming the fuse for volatility. For ordinary holders, the open interest to market value ratio is like a portfolio structure health check—checking it regularly is less stressful than constantly watching the market.#SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings

There are still 28 days until the unlock, so the pressure hasn't truly arrived yet. We backtested events where the unlock volume exceeded 10% of circulation; underperformance against the market was concentrated in the 7 days before the unlock, averaging about 6%, with three-quarters being negative. After the unlock, there was no clear direction. Therefore, the focus should be on the week from 11-17 to 11-23; price movements before that have little reference value. The chart shows higher highs, bullish volume, and proximity to previous highs, but the market cap is too thin. Contract open interest is only $20 million, and trading volume is negligible—just a small amount of capital can push this pattern, unable to absorb one-third of the new supply. All liquidations in the past day were longs; shorts did not move at all, and leverage is still pressing on the long side. Conditions for a bullish reversal: if after entering the week of 11-17 the price still closes above 0.0223, the bearish view is invalidated. Breaking below 0.02113 will cause weakness to start early. Watching Apple's pre-market movement early in the morning, I've almost smoked half a pack. The earnings report is about to come out (early morning of November 3rd), and honestly, I'm quite conflicted—wanting to take a gamble for a big win, but also fearing waking up to a big loss.
Here's the conclusion first: I predict this earnings report (Q4) will most likely beat expectations, but that's definitely not a reason to blindly rush in and go long.
Why do I say that? The intuition of an experienced trader tells me there's a lot of fluff in this beat.
On one hand, before the new iPhone release in September, there was a strong wave of early purchases since everyone knew prices would rise, which directly boosted this quarter's revenue. Big investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Jefferies are generally optimistic, expecting revenue to reach over 113 billion and EPS to beat expectations.
But I've seen this script too many times. The good-looking data is purely stacked up before the price hike. The real killer move lies in what Cook says on the call.
The US stock market trades on expectations, not the past. No matter how good the earnings look, if management's guidance for the next quarter (December quarter) on the call is weak, they'll teach you a lesson in no time. There are too many landmines on the table now: demand for the iPhone 18 Pro is clearly weak, rising storage chip costs are squeezing profits, and the sales in Greater China remain a mystery.
##SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Conclusion first: When the entire market has 198 up and 52 down, $SOXS fell 8.6% in 24 hours, and $SOXL rose 8.67%—the two legs of the same index are almost symmetrical because they are both 3x ETFs.
The harshest move last night: On 10-26 from 20:00 to 24:00, in that 4-hour period, $SOXS dropped from 52.14 to 46.96, -9.9%, with a trading volume of $18.6 million, accounting for 46% of the day's total volume.
Three numbers for your wallet:
1. 3x inverse + perpetual 25x leverage = effective 75x. That 10% drop last night hit the liquidation line right in the middle.
2. Perpetual 24h volume is $40.36 million, xSOXS spot only $600,000 (67x), X-Perp only 460 contracts, $22,000. Without spot anchor, the price is entirely set by the perpetual itself.
3. Funding fees continuously reset to zero, premium -0.059%—no one earns holding fees, it's all a bet on direction. OI $7.48 million, turnover 5.4 times per day, best bid only 0.1 contracts.
My discipline: Never "catch the rebound" with 3x ETF perpetuals; either use xSOXS spot semantics or small positions, no holdings on US stock market holidays.
When you trade $SOXS / $SOXL, do you treat them as stocks or as contracts?#South Korea discusses further delay of crypto tax, I will wait for the policy text before judging fund reactions
The South Korean presidential office stated on October 25 that it is discussing a further delay of the crypto income tax originally scheduled to be implemented in January 2027, but no decision has been made yet. I understand the market will first trade on expectations, but there is still a process between discussion and final legislative amendment. Regarding this news, I will first see if the National Assembly advances a clear text, then observe the KRW trading volume and local premium. If only delay rumors are spreading and transaction volume shows no sustained change, I will not judge that new funds have returned based on this. Policy affects costs, and whether funds act still needs to be confirmed with data.#富兰克林邓普顿推出美股股息买BTC新型ETF
The boss has something to say
Franklin Templeton has launched two new ETFs, FBEQ and FIBT. The core mechanism is an initial allocation of about 95% US stocks and 5% BTC exposure, but the most aggressive part is that the dividends from US stocks are not given to you in cash; instead, they are automatically used to increase positions in Bitcoin-related assets.
I believe this is Wall Street's excellent way to "silently" integrate crypto assets into traditional investment portfolios. Previously, retail investors had to open accounts and transfer funds themselves to buy crypto, which was a high barrier. Now, as long as you buy this US stock ETF, the dividends automatically convert into BTC. This model is more covert and sustainable than directly promoting a spot ETF. As long as US stocks keep paying dividends, there will be a continuous stream of automatic buying pressure injected.
But don't expect it to pump the price immediately. In the short term, this only changes the allocation method of existing funds; we haven't seen a large influx yet. Also, BTC dipped slightly by 0.30% today, and the market is still waiting for the FOMC.
This is a long-term positive for crypto; the lifeblood of traditional finance is slowly seeping in.
Last night, BTC took a waterfall drop; now let's see if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper pullback, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Don't chase the rally or sell in panic; set your stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; make sure to set your stop losses. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $DOOD This month, my live trading account made 21 trades, with 8 losses, resulting in a net loss of 2.4%. I recorded the opening price, stop-loss price, and closing reason for each trade exactly as they were, listing both profitable and losing trades together.
What you get by following me is this: unfiltered daily live trading records, losses reported honestly, and losing trades are not deleted.
Franklin Templeton submitted applications for two dividend-type Bitcoin ETFs yesterday. Many people's first reaction was positive, but after reviewing the structure, I think it needs to be discussed separately. The cash flow of dividend-type ETFs most likely comes from covered options, meaning selling BTC call options to collect premiums and then distributing them to you. This is not a pure long tool; essentially, it is a device that sells upside potential in exchange for cash flow. The real impact on market structure is: long-term capital is indeed coming in, but marginally, it is money selling volatility, not buying volatility. This also explains why BTC has been stuck around 79,866 for so long, only dropping 0.2% in 24h, ETH at 2,316 is also moving close to the ground, and even TAO, which was trending today, only moved 0.0%. Volatility is repeatedly suppressed, and hot rotations have directly fizzled out. I never make directional judgments during low-volume sideways trading, only position judgments: keep leverage below 2x, do not move stop-loss levels, and wait for a volume breakout directional candlestick before following.

Play: Long crude dips, long diesel crack.The market has been unusually "quiet" lately, and here's why:
On Wednesday, the Fed will release its decision first. Once Waller speaks, half of the market's anxiety will be relieved; then two days later, on Friday, nearly $12 billion worth of BTC options will settle simultaneously, with 152,000 contracts accounting for over 30% of the total open interest.
There's another detail in this chart: the thickest call option cluster is at 95,000, which is far from the current price; the real pain point is at 79,000. BTC is currently at 79,800, just hovering slightly above that pain point.
So the current "quiet" doesn't mean no one is moving; both sides are holding their chips tight, waiting for Wednesday's data.
There are two possible scenarios:
🔻 On the night of the decision, a crash below 79,000 could cause option positions to go out of control, leading to intense volatility.
🔁 More likely: the price will be slowly ground between 79,000 and 82,000 until Friday, with market makers hedging to keep the price in a narrow range—a classic squeeze before expiration.
I lean towards the second scenario.
But a reminder: a squeeze ≠ safety. Once settlement passes and the pressure disappears, Thursday still has GDP + PCE data, and Friday still has the Bank of Japan. Don't try to guess the direction these days; focusing on volatility and buying cheap Gamma is more worthwhile.$BTC The major trend remains bearish! But absolutely no short chasing, short-term rebounds can come at any time 🔥
Clearly explaining the current core rhythm of BTC: the medium to long-term trend is still bearish, with the ultimate adjustment target remaining at 75000! But at this stage, absolutely do not chase shorts, the main force's shakeout rebound risk is very high!
The market has been grinding narrowly for two consecutive days, overall trapped in the 79000–81000 range, with no clear breakout or direction. Currently, a large cluster of short positions is concentrated near the 79000 support, and the market's bearish sentiment is overly unanimous, which is a typical bear trap signal.
A key divergence structure has formed: contract CVD has hit a new stage low again, but the coin price has not broken down in sync; the spot bottom continues to rise, and market open interest keeps climbing. This fully indicates that bears continue to dump, but spot buying is very strong, with bottom-side bids firmly supporting; bearish volume has long since exhausted and is ready to reverse and hunt short-chasing retail traders!
Short-term rebound targets are clear: first resistance at 81000–81500, corresponding to the 4-hour parallel top liquidity zone; second target at 82400–82800, filling the daily-level gap with ample liquidity above.
Summary: The major trend remains bearish, but the short-term divergence rebound signal is clear. Do not chase shorts or overleverage; patiently wait for the rebound repair before choosing direction!

#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC
18,600 coins, this is the net inflow of Bitcoin by short-term holders to exchanges in the past 24 hours, mostly selling at a loss.
The market is cooperating as well, OKX is now hovering around 79,800, with a 24-hour low of 79,400, just grinding below the 80,000 mark. Those who chased above 80,000 and entered now are selling at a loss, no surprises there.
Last time I bet it would break through at a similar threshold, but it just ground for three days with no luck. This time I’ve learned my lesson; at this level, I won’t make a move—neither cutting losses nor adding.
Also, the original Bitcoin DEX, the old version V1 of DotSwap, was hacked; within four hours, 8.5 BTC were drained from the pool, about 685,000 USD, due to the outdated server-side signature mechanism. The amount isn’t large, but the old protocol managing the custody pool is like this—when something goes wrong, it’s a total mess.
Loss-cutting orders are piling up at the doorstep, either triggering a wave of accelerated decline or grinding into a bottom. I’m betting on the latter. The 80,000 integer level has always been formed by grinding, not by breaking through.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Market data as of October 26, 2026. Values vary by sources and calculation methods. The idea of RWA is simple: rights to traditional financial instruments, such as short-term US Treasury bonds, are issued as tokens on public networks. Ondo Finance builds its platform on this, and the products are already operational. The $ONDO token has a different relationship to these products than a stock has to a company. It is a governance token, not an equity instrument. The main question to analyze: how business growth will be... 🔥This week's main event: The FOMC interest rate decision is coming!
First, the market consensus: The October decision is basically set, with rates expected to remain unchanged, and over 90% of funds betting on no rate hike.
Many newcomers might think: No rate hike is good news for BTC, so it will surge? It's not that simple!
There are two key points this time:
1. Although the rate hike will pause in October, a large portion of funds still price in a possible hike in December. Pause ≠ shift to rate cuts, it's not dovish, just a break. The key is not the rate number itself, but Powell's wording in his speech!
If his speech is hawkish: implying inflation is still unstable and there is room for more hikes, BTC could be directly hammered, many previous spikes came from this;
If his speech is soft, dispelling December hike expectations, funds will dare to buy coins more boldly.
2. Key point: This meeting will not update the economic forecast dot plot! Without this crucial reference, the market is more prone to volatile swings triggered by a single sentence, causing more spikes. Futures traders must control their leverage!
Here's a simple summary:
✅ No rate hike + mild speech → short-term risk appetite rises, bullish for Bitcoin
⚠️ No rate hike, but Powell is tough and leaves the door open for December hike → bullish expectations turn bearish, prone to "buy the rumor, sell the fact" #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC I have thought about whether, when holding Bitcoin, I could use prediction markets to hedge against some of the pain from price drops. But if I were to actually use it, I'd first get stuck on the question: the coin price moves constantly, but prediction contracts settle according to predetermined times and conditions. If Bitcoin drops, the prediction side might not necessarily cover the loss exactly. The odds seem like prices set by participants for the outcome, not market forecasts. I originally wanted to worry less, but just pondering whether the two sides can align makes me feel like I need to open another window on my screen.Just saw this, and my first reaction was: Vanguard is also starting to touch Bitcoin? But after reading it, I feel that "indirect exposure" and "actively bullish" shouldn't be equated. I've only been in the circle for a year and almost got misled by the headline again 😂
According to Coin Bureau, Vanguard, which manages $13 trillion in assets, disclosed for the first time that its VSS ETF holds about 4.5 million shares of the Japanese Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet, valued at about $7.5 million, thereby indirectly gaining Bitcoin-related exposure. The $13 trillion here refers to asset management scale, not the size of this investment.
My understanding is that this news is more like a signal of deepening ties between traditional finance and crypto assets, and cannot yet be considered ironclad evidence of a shift in institutional attitude. Not sure if that's right. On one hand, holding shares of the treasury company also involves company operation and stock pricing risks, which is not the same as directly holding coins; on the other hand, "first disclosure" does not mean just bought, so we can't infer that new funds are flowing in based on this.
I haven't figured out what kind of allocation rules this holding comes from, and the material doesn't explain it either. If it's just allocated according to established rules, then interpreting it as an active bet is a bit over the top. I will continue to watch the basis of the holdings and subsequent disclosures, and first remind myself not to take the "name of a big institution" as a conclusion.Sideways movement is an illusion; leverage is lining up
BTC is grinding near 80,000, but the liquidation heatmap is far from calm. Considering the current macro environment across the network and being just one step away from the October FOMC decision, the expectation of "higher interest rates for longer" continues to suppress risk appetite, with December rate hike expectations heating up. Short positions cluster above 82,000, while long positions are dense between 80,000 and 79,000, like a tightly compressed fuse. The price only needs to dip below 80,000 slightly to potentially ignite a chain liquidation of longs; a sweep above 82,000 would also hurt shorts. The main players are using retail anxiety to complete chip rotation.
ETH appears weaker on the surface, with 2,350 capping the rebound, but the 2,300–2,280 range is packed with long liquidation zones. Recent repositioning by ancient whales (3,000 ETH moving into CEX combined with a potential 100 million USDT buy order) has intensified volatility. Once 2,300 breaks, stop-loss and liquidation orders could trigger a stampede. SOL is tugging around 100, with 102–104 as the short defense line and 100–98 as a thick long wall. A break below 100 could quickly drain liquidity below, causing even more volatility in altcoins.
The conclusion is straightforward: leverage is crowded on both sides, and the main players are not waiting for direction but for a fuse to trigger a chain reaction. Bottom fishing or topping now risks becoming cannon fodder. Watching the show is fine, but don’t put yourself on the liquidation map. Before the FOMC shoe drops, it’s recommended to hold light spot positions defensively, reduce leverage on contracts, and wait for clearer macro guidance and a return to rational long-short ratios before trading with the trend, prioritizing capital preservation. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Just a quick mention about the outside world
The neighbors have been wearing tense faces these past two days: On Monday (10/26), the US stock market continued the downward trend from last Friday, with risk aversion dominating; On 10/26, the A-shares market was extremely divided, with the Shanghai Composite slightly up 0.19% to close at 3,697, supported by oil & gas and banks, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 1.19%, the ChiNext Index fell 1.71%, and the STAR 50 Index declined 2.23%, with over 3,100 stocks in the red, led by the precious metals sector. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index rose 0.51% to close at 23,212, with oil stocks holding up the market. The crypto market is overshadowed by two dark clouds: first, the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting on 10/27-28, with results released early morning Beijing time on 10/29; CME pricing shows a 91% chance of no rate change and 9% chance of a hike, so even a small hawkish surprise could sting in the middle of the night; second, the US dollar index is hovering near a three-week low around 101.7, precious metals collectively plunged today, with Chifeng Gold hitting the daily limit down and Hong Kong gold stocks once dropping as much as 12%, as safe-haven assets are breaking apart. $BTC tries to stay intact, but playing dumb won’t help.When I scroll through the gainers list, my first reaction is often "How did I miss it again?".
Later, I gradually developed a habit: first look at the 24-hour trading volume, then the price increase; this way, my mindset is steadier. Taking the OKX spot market around 4 PM Hong Kong time on October 27 as an example: DOOD up about +24.08% in 24h, trading volume about 11.44 million USDT; GRVT about +13.54%, trading volume about 3.3 million USDT; NIGHT about +10.13%, trading volume about 2.3 million USDT. During the same period, BTC was around 79,879, down about -0.2% in 24h, almost unchanged.
Personally, I think coins with small trading volumes have their price changes easily amplified by small amounts of capital. Just a few trades can push the price up, but if the order book is thin, slippage will teach you a lesson when you actually try to trade: the gains shown on the leaderboard are not necessarily the prices you can get. It's a bit ridiculous, but that's how the mechanism works.
So now my order of checking the list is: trading volume → order book depth → and finally the price increase. The price increase is the result; the trading volume determines how "real" that result is.
Which column do you usually check first when browsing the list?
Just my personal opinion, not investment advice ⚠️ **越是平静的盘面，越要警惕！ETH 这波横盘，真的意味着企稳了吗？** 兄弟们，最近的行情安静得有点反常，ETH 就像被钉在了原地，价格一直在 2300–2350 美元之间来回震荡。 但真正值得关注的，不只是横盘，而是高点正在逐步下移！ 📉 **$ETH：表面横盘，结构却在转弱？** 看看这几个高点： - 2368 美元 - 2343 美元 - 2320 美元 高点逐渐降低，说明短线反弹力度可能正在减弱。虽然价格暂时没有明显下跌，但这并不代表底部已经形成。 我更担心的是，市场在狭窄区间内反复震荡，可能会让不少人放松警惕，误以为下跌已经结束。 🔥 **真正的考验，在美联储议息会议之后！** 宏观消息公布前，市场往往会变得谨慎，资金也可能等待更明确的信号。 如果 ETH 后续跌破 2291 美元附近的支撑，并且无法快速收回，那么下行压力可能进一步增加；反过来，如果放量突破上方压力区域，空头也必须重新评估自己的判断。 所以，眼下不能只凭横盘就认定行情一定向下，更不能忽略突发反弹带来的风险。 💰 **说说我的操作：** 我目前持有 ETH 空单，入场价 2689 美元，当前浮盈约【ETH 2300: Don't Accept ETF Redemption Orders】
The funding line is the most honest: October ETH ETF net outflow hit $1.18 billion, a record for the year, with ETHA single-day redemption exceeding 75 million; ETH/BTC slid from 0.0319 to 0.0291, down nearly 9% in 30 days. This is not a mistaken sell-off, but institutions cutting high Beta.
The chip line is very divided: 43.7 million staked, accounting for over 35% of circulation, exchange holdings hit a new low at only 3.49%, with 170,000 withdrawn in a single day; but OGs are cashing out at 2300. Locked positions support the floor, ETFs pull the ceiling—two different things.
The referee line is the Wednesday FOMC: 90% chance of no change in October, 68.9% chance of a rate hike in December, U.S. Treasury yields near 5%, oil prices topping inflation. Powell’s word “stubborn” leads risk assets to cut ETH first.
2300 is the emotional underwear, not the valuation bottom: if broken, look to 2280, 2220-2250, then down to 2000; resistance above at 2473/2546.
Strategy: Do not add positions or hold if above 2300; wait for the daily chart to hold 2300 plus ETF net inflows for two consecutive days, missing either is just guessing. The narrative is for the next round, position first to survive this week.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Most people see patching vulnerabilities as a positive: Ethereum developers fixed a bug in the Glamsterdam upgrade that could have mistakenly credited new validators' staked ETH to block builder accounts, with the fix merged into the consensus specification on October 26.
Looking at it from another angle, I am more cautious about the risks of the upgrade rollout. First, errors in fund ownership touch the staking security baseline; second, the fix was previously rejected due to insufficient client team support, indicating coordination is not smooth. I will closely monitor client implementation and not assume everything is fine just because the specification is merged. Where is the money going? The ledger doesn't lie.
Here's the position-side cash flow: $BTC on 10/22, the day of the surge, saw an inflow of +368.5 million; on 10/23, an outflow of -431.3 million; on 10/24, another outflow of -236.2 million; on 10/25, a partial return of +124.4 million; on 10/26, another withdrawal of -188.4 million; as of this morning 10/27, a return flow of +146.7 million, with a cumulative net outflow of -216.3 million. Most of the money that entered at the high has already left, and the current inflow looks more like the residual heat of short covering rather than a large-scale entry of new bulls.
$ETH is even more straightforward: on 10/25, a large outflow of -171.2 million, with a cumulative -136.1 million. The second brother's bleeding started earlier and was more intense than the big brother's. The fees haven't gone crazy: $BTC latest +0.010%, $ETH +0.009%. Bulls are still paying protection fees on time, indicating that the bulls remaining in the market haven't been scared off, nor is it overly crowded—if a surge were really coming, fees would have already shot up above 0.05%.Historical statistics are often treated as signposts: from 1950 to 2022, the S&P 500 mostly rose in the year following midterm elections. But signposts are not guarantees; the process may involve declines before gains, and closing higher does not mean a smooth ride. Using the calendar as a buying reason easily overlooks valuation, liquidity, and sentiment.
If the US stock market continues to strengthen, crypto assets may follow, but "following the rise" is not the same as "guaranteed to rise." I dare not say whether $57,800 this year counts as a historical bottom. At least, I can't bring myself to buy Bitcoin at $80,000.
Doubling up to $160,000 seems to have limited room; halving down to $40,000 is not out of the question. Such a risk-reward ratio and odds are not worth betting on with emotion.
So I choose to stay calm: no bottom guessing, no chasing highs, watching as I go. Opportunities can't be rushed, so first protect your position. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ Robinhood will release its Q3 earnings report after the U.S. stock market closes on October 27, and the market is closely watching whether its business growth can continue. In Q2, its revenue rose 32% year-over-year to $1.31 billion, and net client inflows hit a new high of $22 billion, clearly showing the platform still has strong appeal to retail investors. Stock, options trading, and cryptocurrency business are the core drivers of growth. However, this impressive performance does not guarantee that Q3 will continue to exceed expectations. Retail investors' trading enthusiasm heavily depends on the overall market trend; if the U.S. stock market fluctuates or moves sideways, many ordinary investors will reduce trading frequency, directly impacting the platform's trading revenue. Changes in the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations will also alter market risk appetite, and speculative trades like options are an important source of Robinhood's income. Industry competition pressure is also significant, with many peers continuously lowering fees and launching similar convenient trading features. Robinhood's early unique advantages have gradually weakened. Although the crypto business is growing fast, U.S. regulatory policies remain unclear and could restrict the expansion speed of this segment at any time, posing a long-term risk. Currently, most market participants are betting that the earnings report will exceed expectations, but overly high expectations are a double-edged sword. Even if performance meets market estimates without significantly exceeding them, the stock price could easily face a pullback. To impress investors, it cannot just maintain steady growth; it also needs to show improvements in active user growth and sustained monetization capabilities What happened to the "institutional-grade" project CT, which dropped 74% in one month after going live and has a TVL of 1.26 billion?
First, let's lay out the facts:
🔹 Project aspect: very solid
Concrete is an on-chain asset management platform, focusing on institutional-grade vaults (ERC-4626 standard), with a TVL of about $1.26 billion, ranking as the fourth largest on-chain capital allocator. Investors include Polychain, YZi Labs, VanEck, BitGo, Bullish, FalconX.
🔹 Token aspect: very grim
On September 30, the TGE day, price went from 0.075 to 0.485, peaked at 0.6387 on October 2, now at 0.168 — a 74% drop in one month.
🔹 Even more critical: token structure
Total supply is fixed at 1 billion tokens, but the team and investors hold 50% combined, and the lock-up schedule has not been fully disclosed. As of now, CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap cannot confirm its circulating supply, so market cap cannot be calculated.
📌 My judgment:
CT is a textbook case of "good project ≠ good token."
The project team honestly states: holding CT does not grant equity, dividends, nor automatic rights to protocol assets; it mainly offers governance plus staking fee rebates. TVL represents user deposits, while the protocol’s cumulative revenue is only $396,000 — a $1.26 billion pool with no direct economic link to token holders.
Therefore, the 74% drop is justified: what fell was not the project’s value but the premium from the "institutional-grade" label.
Also note a pattern: On October 19, Upbit/Bithumb listings caused a 32% spike to 0.44 within 15 minutes, then a pullback. This pump on listing followed by a drop is typical for new tokens with thin liquidity; those chasing highs got stuck.
Going forward, only three things matter:
① When will circulating supply data be confirmed?
② When will the team/investor unlock schedule be disclosed?
③ Can TVL growth convert into protocol revenue?
Until these three questions are answered, the hype ranking at No.20 is just attention, not value. Anthropic publicly filed for IPO yesterday, and the most shocking figure is a loss of $80.6 billion in the first half of the year. But when you break down this number, the story is completely different.
Do you think an AI company is worth 1.5 trillion because you're buying its current revenue, or because you're buying its computing power five years from now? To pour some cold water first, I don't see negative funding rates as a positive for $WLD. Hyperliquid's public market data shows WLD's funding rate at -0.0067% per hour, the highest absolute value among current contracts, annualized at about -59%, with a 24-hour change of -1.49%. What worries me more is that the annualized figure might be packaging risk as an interest-earning opportunity.
There are two reasons: negative funding rates only mean shorts pay longs, which doesn't equal spot buying entering the market; and the annualized rate is extrapolated from the current rate, not a locked-in return. My speculation is that if someone enters the market chasing funding income while the price keeps weakening, the fees received might not cover the holding losses.
Of course, those expecting a rebound might be right. If spot buying continues to strengthen and the price stabilizes, I would retract my bearish view instead of fixating on the funding rate. Facing this negative funding rate on WLD, are you bullish or bearish? Share your reasons, and don't just use the annualized figure as evidence.Brent crude oil closed at $115.81 on 10/26, having risen about 12% in October. Last week, it briefly surged above $117, the highest since April.
Normally, with rising oil prices and inflation expectations, yields should go up; however, the 10-year yield actually dropped to about 4.98%, falling below 5%.
Do you think this yield decline is a bond market warning about growth, or just a short-term safe haven after the stock market plunge?
