The most striking current data is that 64% of net long positions are built above $81,993. For every hour BTC hovers around $80,000, the unrealized loss pressure on these positions accumulates another layer.
$BTC is around $80,000. This week, ETF net inflows reached 301 million, ending two consecutive weeks of decline, but on Thursday and Friday combined, outflows totaled 773.5 million, with October still showing a net outflow of 314 million. The weekly figure is positive, but the monthly gap remains unfilled. $80,000 is the anchor point for the bull-bear battle, with $79,200 and the $78,000–$78,600 range coming into view below.
$ETH is around $2,300, having broken below the 100-day moving average. ETH ETFs saw outflows of 221 million this week, with a cumulative October loss of 1.18 billion. ETFs are withdrawing, but on-chain, 170,000 ETH were withdrawn from exchanges in a single day, and staking volume hit a record high. The sellable and non-sellable are diverging.
$SOL is around $101. SOL ETFs have seen cumulative outflows of 68 million this month, with zero net inflow on the 24th. The $100 level is repeatedly tested, but buying pressure is temporarily absent.
In short: The FOMC meeting will conclude on the 27th–28th, followed closely by the PCE data. The cost lines for long positions in these three coins are simultaneously being held down. ETFs turned positive weekly but have not recovered monthly. Money is waiting for data to provide a reason.

#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The Fed takes no action in October—has the rate hike really peaked?
The 10-year US Treasury yield is around 4.97%, the S&P 500 is about 7623 points, and the market is clearly still digesting tightening expectations. Goldman Sachs' FCI has only tightened by 30 basis points, mainly because the market has priced in rate hikes in advance; the Fed won't see this as a reason to stop directly.
Skipping a rate hike is a strategic pause.
Skipping October is just to observe data for two more months; the probability of a final 25 basis point hike this round in December is very high.
The source of inflation is on the supply side.
Middle East tensions push up oil prices, AI computing power drives hardware price increases—these cost pressures are hard to solve by aggressive rate hikes alone; aggressively crushing demand would instead hurt employment.
The real risk is next year.
More than staying put this month, we need to guard against a secondary inflation rebound triggered by concentrated corporate price adjustments early next year.
October's pause is an illusion; December is the finale. Don't misinterpret a short-term pause as a shift.
DYOR ENA +8% to $0.208, but I'm not chasing this breakout yet.
USDe just went native on X Layer and OKX Wallet via Aave v3.
ENA is up ~13% from the $0.185 low and pressing $0.21.
The catch: the buyback is still off.
USDe sits near $4.8B vs the $7.5B trigger.
275M ENA unlock on Nov 1, and a big whale dumped 14M ENA last week.
I think the catalyst is real, but supply is heavy.
Holding $0.21 opens room; losing $0.20 kills the move.
Breakout or bull trap before the unlock?

#EthenaLast week, the US spot BTC ETF finally had a net inflow of about $301 million, but on Thursday alone, $636 million flowed out, and on Friday another $138 million left. The first three days saw an inflow of over $1 billion, but the last two days gave back most of it. The funds fluctuated repeatedly.
$BTC is now hovering around 80,300, with a 24-hour high of 81,070 and a low of 79,840. The volatility is very narrow, funding rates are roughly neutral, and contract leverage hasn't noticeably increased, indicating that no one wants to recklessly add positions at this time.
I feel the ETF buying is still there but very fragile. A large portion came in from Monday to Wednesday, then IBIT and FBTC led the way out in the last two days. It looks more like probing positions rather than continuous buying. The price has held above 80,000, but the volume around 81,000 is insufficient to push higher.
In the short term, I consider 79,800 to 80,000 as the support zone. If it breaks 79,800, reduce positions and wait. The resistance above is between 81,000 and 81,300; if it can't break through, don't chase. Focus on light swing trading with a stop loss below 79,600. Don't stubbornly fight the sentiment.
#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 Bitcoin chips are concentrated in the hands of a few big players. Even if these big players choose to stick to consensus, it cannot stop the reasons for a deep market correction summary
1. The "holding firm" by big players mostly means locking their positions without moving, not continuously injecting new funds to support the market
Whales and institutions hoard coins, many just hold without selling, but they won't keep injecting new funds to continuously buy. Holding chips ≠ unlimited buying pressure.
Stopping a price drop requires continuous new buying power; big players just don't sell, but they won't keep spending heavily to absorb all floating sell orders in the market. Locked positions can only reduce some supply but cannot actively prop up the price, which is the core difference.
2. There is no unified consensus among big players; some hold firm, others take profits in batches when prices rise
Don't assume all major holders share the same stance. Early whales, ETF institutions, and strategic enterprises have vastly different holding costs. Some long-term believers choose to hold; others face asset rebalancing, risk control, repayments, and fund redemption pressures, and will reduce positions when the market weakens.
As long as some big players choose to sell, it offsets the support from those holding firm, causing internal division and preventing a unified defense force.
3. Tradable floating chips mean pricing power is not in the hands of locked big players
A large amount of Bitcoin is dormant long-term, but short-term price movements are determined by circulating supply, ETF subscription/redemption, leveraged positions, and retail trading. Even if 90% of chips are locked by whales, if floating selling pressure exceeds buying, prices will still fall.
Locked chips are just stock and do not participate in market bidding, so they don't directly support real-time prices. The thinner the liquidity, the easier it is for small sell orders to cause large price drops.
4. Macro liquidity is the top-level trend; no matter how strong the belief, it cannot resist the US dollar cycle
Bitcoin is a high-risk asset, with pricing fundamentally influenced by Federal Reserve rates, US Treasury yields, inflation, and geopolitical situations. In high interest rate cycles, capital naturally prefers fixed income assets and avoids cash-flow-less crypto assets.
This is a systemic macro environment that cannot be reversed by the consensus of a few big holders. When liquidity tightens, institutional risk control will passively reduce positions, which is a passive rule unaffected by personal beliefs.
5. Derivatives leverage is an independent amplifier of declines, unrelated to whether big players hold firm
There are many contract long positions and margin holdings in the market. Once key price levels are broken, it triggers cascading liquidations and automatic market sell orders, forming a downward spiral.
This is a programmed forced liquidation process; regardless of whether whales want to defend the market, liquidation orders will automatically flood out. Even if big players don't sell coins, the leverage liquidation wave can keep pushing prices down deeply.
6. Regulatory risks and long-term cryptographic risks are systemic negatives; consensus cannot withstand regulatory and technological pressures
National regulatory policies, anti-money laundering audits, and quantum computing long-term security risks are underlying narrative risks.
Once these risks ferment, institutional risk budgets will shrink directly. Institutions have compliance boundaries and won't rely solely on belief to heavily buy against the trend. The personal belief of big players cannot change global capital's risk pricing.
7. Incremental funds are exhausted; in a stock game environment, belief has no new capital relay
Bull market rises rely on continuous influx of new off-exchange participants and funds to take over. When market heat fades and incremental off-exchange funds stop, the market becomes a zero-sum game.
No matter how many coins big players hold, they cannot conjure off-exchange funds out of thin air. Without new participants to take over, relying only on old players exchanging among themselves, the downtrend is hard to reverse.
8. Big players' holdings also face passive pressure; they don't hold forever unconditionally
Many institutions and enterprises buy coins with borrowed money, facing interest and repayment pressures; ETFs face client redemptions, which require selling BTC to pay out.
When the market keeps falling and margin is insufficient, even firmly bullish institutions will passively reduce holdings. The so-called "holding firm" has limits and is not unconditional permanent holding. The volatility this week will still be intense. Although oil has pulled back a bit, it is still around 100. Right now, too much capital is choosing to seek safety in U.S. Treasuries rather than gold. The liquidity in the pool is somewhat insufficient.
Coupled with the uncertainty of the interest rate meeting in the early hours of the 29th, most people are currently watching and seeking safety.
If the rebound starts early this week, it means expectations are being prepaid; after the rebound, there will be a retreat. If there is no rebound and the market remains volatile, it means waiting for negative news to surface. We still need to probe the short-term bottom.
It’s uncertain whether this level can fully stabilize, so one can only slowly operate on the left side; for ultra-short-term trades, buy a little when it’s oversold and exit the same day.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 This morning's short position was in the right direction, gaining 4.7 points, but no profit was made — the stop loss was placed incorrectly.
At 08:00, a volume of 367,000 contracts (4.5 times the previous 81,000) opened at 85.27, surged to 86.69, then dropped to 83.05. The 86.69 high was only 0.14 below the 24h high of 86.83, yet it was 0.29 above the stop loss at 86.40 — a spike that triggered the stop loss on the short position before the price dropped.
All targets were hit: 83.91 reached before noon, 83.40 by 9 AM, with a low of 82.08. Placing the stop loss outside 86.83 yielded 2.6 times the profit; placing it at 86.40 resulted in a -1R loss.
Current price is 83.42 / 24h change -1.02% / MA20 at 84.80. The new resistance is at 85.02 at 13:00 (82,000 contracts, closed bearish); the support at 82.08 has not been broken. It's only 02:00 Eastern Time, and the 21:30 market open is what really counts.
If the price rebounds between 84.0~84.3 but fails to break through and closes bearish with volume (≥50,000), short with a stop loss at 84.90 and a target of 82.08, offering a risk-reward ratio of 2.8.
If it closes above 85.02 with volume (≥80,000) and then pulls back to 84.7~84.9, go long with a stop loss at 84.10 and a target of 86.83, risk-reward ratio 2.9. Avoid trading around 83.4.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)$MON is bearish. On November 24, there will be a cliff unlock, approximately 33% of the already unlocked circulating supply, and there are 29 days left until that day. The real focus should be on the week from November 17 to 23. Our backtesting of similar large unlocks shows that underperformance against the market almost always concentrates in the 7 days before the unlock; two sample periods align in direction, with three out of four closing negative. There is no stable direction after the unlock day, so there's no need to bet on the 24th itself. Currently, the contract market is very small; liquidations are mostly scattered long positions, leverage is not stacked, and the price is mainly determined by spot. The chart shows lower highs and bearish moving averages, consistent with supply logic, indicating this weakness will likely drag through the window period. Starting from the 17th, watch two things: whether $MON starts to lag the market and whether the rebound has volume. The condition to turn bullish is to reclaim and hold 0.02193 before the 17th, while remaining relatively strong against the market during the window period. If both conditions are met, then withdraw the bearish view. Turnaround, turnaround! As soon as the votes opened, the Brazil ETF perpetual futures plunged over 23% in one day 😂
The weekend Brazilian presidential runoff results came out: Lula, in his 80s, got about 51.8%, his opponent about 48.2%, becoming president for the fourth time. The market had been betting on the other side all week; at Friday's close, the ETF tracking the Brazilian stock market was still around $42. After the vote turnaround, before the US market officially opened, the after-hours quote was smashed down to around $35, dropping nearly 20% overnight.
The EWZUSDT perpetual on European exchanges was even more brutal, down about 23.4% in 24 hours, crashing from around $45 at open to about $34, with a trading volume of approximately $65.5 million and nearly 400,000 trades. Watching the first three hours after the vote count came out, trading volume already exceeded $50 million, about 16 times the previous day's full-day volume, and open interest surged from about $2.9 million to $7.5 million. The Brazilian real futures once dropped over 10%, and related oil stocks were also hammered.
Those holding election-related positions over the weekend basically let the votes decide for them. This kind of overnight pricing makes you sweat for your positions just watching.

This week, the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting is about to take place.
The market has almost reached a consensus! It is highly likely that there will be no rate change in October, with the probability of maintaining the current rate exceeding 90%.
Retail investors breathe a sigh of relief at this number, thinking "the bad news is all out, it's time to rise."
But this is precisely the biggest trap.
The real fatal issue is never whether there will be a rate hike in October, but that after the meeting, the market will suddenly realize that a rate hike in December is still looming overhead.
Goldman Sachs has clearly predicted that the Federal Reserve will adopt a "skip one hike" pace, skipping October and implementing the second rate hike of this cycle in December.
ING's judgment is the same: October is just to buy observation time, and December will be the real restart.
What does this mean?
It means that even if the October meeting maintains the current rate, as long as the statement and press conference reveal any hint of a hawkish tone "paving the way for a December hike," the market logic will instantly switch from "bad news is all out" to "the next one will hurt more."
DWS's chief economist bluntly states that the most likely scenario in October is "hawkish pause."
Maintain rates, but with a sharp edge in the words.
And Federal Reserve Chair Powell is precisely someone who almost never provides forward guidance.
He won't give you a clear anchor, and the market will fall into greater uncertainty after the meeting.
Uncertainty means volatility, the roar before the meat grinder starts.
My short position is still in hand, with an average price of 2583, and the floating profit has already exceeded 10 times.
If the market temporarily rebounds because of "no rate hike in October," that will be my window to add to my short position.
If after the meeting, the market starts to price in the December hike early, the decline will come even faster.
Don't bet on the meeting's result. Bet on how the market will interpret the next result after that outcome is announced.

#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Night session anomaly observation: Three targets strengthen simultaneously, but the driving factors behind them differ and cannot be simply categorized as the same type of market. **$SLX｜Rental income logic combined with sector sentiment** Currently at 0.05104, up 2.22% intraday. SLX splits the long-term equity of wafer fabs into on-chain shares, with the income logic mainly derived from quarterly rent rather than solely relying on spot price fluctuations. Recently, the price has slowly risen from around 0.048, but the trading volume is only $4.52 million, indicating relatively limited liquidity; large trades may trigger significant volatility. The warming sentiment in the storage sector may provide some support, but whether it can sustain requires observation of subsequent transactions and capital flows. **$UNITREE｜Up nearly 25% in a week, clearly news-driven** Currently at 94.95, continuously rising from around 76 over the past week, with a cumulative increase close to 25%. On-chain shares related to Unitree Robotics are easily influenced by news such as product delivery and financing progress. Due to the relatively small market size, news stimuli may further amplify price volatility. Going forward, it is important to distinguish between genuine business progress and short-term speculative hype. After continuous gains, the risk of chasing highs is also worth caution. **$RE｜Slight rebound, but liquidity remains a key issue** Currently at 0.37724, rebounding 1.7%. As a target related to on-chain risk compensation funds, its trading volume is only $310,000, showing clearly weak liquidity. Such targets may rapidly surge in the short term but can also quickly give back gains. To form an independent market, it still requiresFranklin Templeton has submitted the registration for two dividend-reinvesting Bitcoin index ETF shares to Nasdaq: FBEQ and FIBT. Form 8-A was filed on October 22, with the prospectus effective date set for October 27, and trading has not yet started. The index initially consists of about 95% U.S. stocks and 5% Bitcoin, with dividends reinvested into BTC on the next trading day after the ex-dividend date. Quarterly rebalancing: if BTC weight exceeds 5%, it is cut back to 4.5%; if the closing price rises over 20% between two reviews, it is also reset to 4.5%. Fees are 0.09% for FBEQ and 0.19% for FIBT. CoinGecko spot BTC is about $80,131 (snapshot around 14:05 Beijing time), down about 0.43% in the last 24 hours.
The key point is not just that there are two more Bitcoin ETFs, but the rule that dividends are mandatorily reinvested into BTC. Opponents might say the 5% starting allocation is too small and that since trading hasn't started, it doesn't represent new inflows. However, the prospectus clearly states the reinvestment mechanism and circuit breaker reset; once effective, dividends will continuously buy BTC as they are paid.
The observation window is set for one week after the prospectus becomes effective on October 27: first, check if there are tradable tickers. If no listing or trading occurs within a week, treat this as registration news rather than actual capital inflow.

#Bitcoin #ETF$ATOM
On October 28th, at 8 PM Korea time, Upbit suspended deposits and withdrawals of ATOM from that moment.
The previous message just mentioned Upbit putting INIT on the warning list, now it's Upbit again, but these are two different matters. The announcement clearly states it is to cooperate with the Cosmos Hub network upgrade; trading continues as usual during this period, and the resumption time will be notified separately. Those who think a suspension of deposits and withdrawals means a run are mostly scared by rumors.
I checked the price. Upbit spot is 2,190 KRW, which converts to 1.654 USD at an exchange rate of 1,324, while OKX is at 1.64 USD, a premium of less than 1%. If anyone is rushing to exit, this price difference is too small to matter.
The market is still thin; OKX perpetual positions total 4.16 million USD, with daily volume over 2 million. Spot rose 1.3% in a day, but the contract funding rate is negative, so few are willing to pay to chase longs.
I also glanced at Upbit's 52-week range: it reached 4,750 KRW last November, now at 2,190. I don't touch these old coins. But for announcements like this, I spend a couple more minutes reading the reason fully, to avoid mistaking technical maintenance for a run.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 At 7:50 this morning, Bitcoin fell below 80,000, with Coinbase's one-minute chart hitting 79,732 and closing at 79,777, showing a long lower shadow before recovering. This is the first real breach in over a month.
But the more important event today is that gold also dropped. Spot gold is at 3,991, down from 4,140 six days ago. Brent crude is at 110.46.
In a week of real war and oil prices at 110, two "safe-haven assets" are being sold together, with only crude oil rising. This is not a failure of safe havens but a liquidity squeeze—when institutions need cash, they sell the most liquid assets, not the least trusted.
On October 30, options expire on 140,844 BTC, with a notional value of about 10 billion. The biggest pain point is at 78,000. This figure has three caveats: it changes with every contract opened, academic conclusions differ, and three platforms calculate it as 76,000/79,000/80,000.
The real informative aspect is the distribution shape: bullish positions above 95,000 account for 13% of open interest, with a notional value of 1.6 billion, requiring a 23% rise in four days to have any intrinsic value. Put options are densely clustered at 70,000, 72,000, and 80,000. Hedgers buy insurance down below, speculators buy lottery tickets above.
Funding rates remain positive: +0.0054% per 8 hours, annualized at 6%. Volume is 32.7 billion, down 26% from the previous day. Open interest is 53.3 billion.
These three numbers together indicate: the price has dropped 36%, but there is no surrender. A real crash would show negative funding rates plus a collapse in open interest; neither is present today. This is fatigue, not a crash.
Key levels: 84,000–85,000 rebound zone, 82,000 resistance, 80,000 lost, 79,000 short-term support, 78,000 magnet, 77,500 lower boundary.
My probabilities: grinding between 78,000–80,000 until delivery 45%, breaking 78,000 to 75,000–77,000 35%, returning above 82,000 20%.
The asymmetry is: 5% down, 5% up, but the conditions to trigger a drop are easier to meet.
Are you worried about breaking 78,000, or are you adding positions at this level again?
Not investment advice, risk at your own discretion.
#MarketAnalysis $BTC$BTC
I never follow long positions with 30x leverage that keep adding as the price drops. Today I ran into a perfect example again.
The BTC long position ranked fourth on Hyperliquid opened on October 23 at an entry price of 81168. When the price dropped to 79322 today, he didn’t exit; instead, he added another 302.5 coins and added $2.15 million in margin. Now holding 795 coins worth over $63 million, with an unrealized loss of $878,000.
I calculated that from 81168 to the lowest 79322, the price difference is 2.3%. With 30x leverage, that means 70% of equity is wiped out. Only 30% remains to add margin, which suggests this person either made substantial profits before or has more funds in the wallet.
The same address also holds a ZEC long position of 4717 coins, entry price 1195, now at 1212, so this side is profitable. BTC is now around 80200, down only half a percent in 24 hours, and the perpetual funding rate is slightly positive. The market isn’t as scary as the breaking news suggests.
I used to follow whales adding positions, thinking someone was supporting the price. After being taught a few times, I realized it’s not about being right, it’s about being able to hold on. I can’t hold on, so I just watch the show.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Conclusion first: $ENA rose 9% today, but the buyback funds haven't arrived yet; what came first is the unlocking.
After Ethena's August proposal "All net income to buy back ENA" fee switch (The Block 8-27), the new proposal on 10-21 changed the trigger conditions and unlocking schedule: USDe supply must reach 7.5 billion to start buybacks (Pluang, CryptoTicker). According to DefiLlama on 10-26, USDe is only at 4.583 billion, priced at 0.99952, still 63.6% short.
What landed first is the unlocking of 275 million ENA on November 1, about 56.9 million USD, accounting for 2.05% of the 1.34 billion circulating supply. At the same time, Arthur Hayes transferred 14 million ENA to Cumberland, with a cumulative transfer out of 28.81 million USD (TokenPost 10-25).

"On the Eve of the Fed Decision: BTC's 80,000 Gamble"
This week, the Federal Reserve will announce the October interest rate decision, and everyone is watching how Powell will speak. BTC just surged past $84,000, then immediately fell below the $80,000 mark, now hovering around $80,200.
On-exchange trading volume has been cut in half from over $500 million to $150 million, with major institutions locking in their chips; no one wants to give away chips for free before the rate decision.
The $80,000 level has become the battleground for bulls and bears, with institutions on both sides waiting for the decision statement to be finalized before making the next big move with their positions. $BTC #Strategy Earnings Preview: BTC Book Gains Rebound Sharply #SK Hynix Q3 earnings report is coming, can HBM4 boost profitability? $ETH $BTC $SOL BTC dipped to 79,840 over the weekend, then regained the 80,000 mark, but trading volume was only half of the 7-day average, indicating a typical low-volume consolidation pattern. The Middle East situation has become a secondary background factor and is no longer the core logic driving the market. Before the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, the market is likely to remain in a narrow range around 80,000. Hold spot positions patiently and avoid frequent trading; if you want to engage in short-term speculation, it is recommended to wait until after Wednesday's rate decision.
The market faces clear resistance above, with multiple moving averages suppressing the price. The MA30 is at 82,900, and price rebounds to this level tend to encounter resistance and pull back; the upper limit of the range at 87,200 is a stronger medium- to long-term resistance level.
Looking at ZEC, there is a divergence between volume and price. The price fell from 1,373 to around 1,200, and during the rebound phase, volume shrank, indicating insufficient follow-up funds. The current price of 1,196 just holds above the MA20, RSI is 47.8, showing moderate strength and not entering the overbought zone. However, it is one of the few coins with positive returns over the past 7 days. This round of the privacy sector has shown an independent counter-trend performance, worth noting.
For ETH, do not blindly bottom-fish around 2,300 to catch a falling knife; patiently wait for the whale liquidation price test to settle. On-chain, a long position worth $397 million had a large investor add $9.21 million in margin last night, lowering the liquidation price from 2,256 to 2,181. The current ETH price is 2,327, only $146 above the liquidation line, with risk looming overhead.
Summary: BTC is consolidating with low volume awaiting the interest rate decision;Crude oil has once again risen above 100, but I expect crude oil to soon experience a significant pullback——
The U.S. midterm elections start on November 3rd, and it is unlikely that Trump will cause trouble at this time.
At that time, gold will see a rebound $XAU Went through the candlestick charts of BTC and ETH from start to finish, here’s some straightforward analysis
BTC is currently at 80200, the 20-day moving average is 82076, and the 50-day moving average is 81854. The price is below both lines, and what’s worse is the highs: after 84899, the highs are 82060, 81849, 81070, each day lower than the last—a classic bearish alignment.
But bears shouldn’t celebrate too soon. Below, there are supports at 79220, 79377, and 79577—three sharp spikes all piercing the 79200 to 79600 range. Every time it dips there, buyers step in. Also, volume has shrunk by 30% over the last 5 days, meaning the selling pressure is weakening.
So the current situation can be summed up in one sentence: moving averages are pressing from above, support is holding from below, and neither side can decisively break the other.
For going long, I only trust one signal: a volume-backed recovery above 82000. That level is a psychological integer combined with the 20-day moving average. If it breaks above, the bearish structure is broken. The next target above is 83100. Bottom fishing before that is gambling, not trading.
For going short, don’t chase near 80000—it’s too close to support, and the risk-reward ratio isn’t favorable. Either wait for a failed rebound at 82000 to short, or wait for a break below 79200 to follow the trend. If it really breaks, the next dense support zone is between 76600 and 77000.
ETH is weaker, at 2325, still 5 points below its 20-day moving average. 2282 is its critical support; don’t expect it to strengthen first.
The FOMC rate decision is at 2 AM on the 29th. In such a tight range, false breakouts and breakdowns are most likely. Keep your position light and don’t let a single spike make your decision for you.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC $ETH $ENA has something going on today, up nearly 9% in 24h, and volume has picked up, with over 30 million U traded in one day 👀
First, the structure: In the past two days, it has been oscillating between 0.184–0.197, with the 0.196–0.197 line acting as resistance several times but never broken. Last night, a volume surge pushed it straight above that line, reaching around 0.211. In the past few hours, it has been consolidating sideways between 0.201–0.211, with the lower shadows mostly held above 0.201, indicating that the previous resistance is now turning into support.
Funding rate is still slightly negative, so the long positions are not overcrowded.
My own plan:
Direction: Buy on pullback, no chasing highs
Entry: 0.2035–0.2055
Stop loss: 0.1985 (if it falls back below the 0.201 platform, it means the breakout failed)
Target 1: 0.2113 (previous high)
Target 2: 0.218
The current price is very close to the previous high, so chasing directly has a poor risk-reward ratio; therefore, I will wait for a pullback. At Target 1, I will take half off and move the stop loss to breakeven. If it breaks below 0.201 with volume, I won’t hold hard; I will wait for it to return near 0.196 before reassessing.
What do you think, can ENA hold above 0.211 this time?
Just my personal opinion, not investment advice, DYOR
#ENA #ContractStrategy #AltcoinsCan Robinhood's trading growth continue? I'm ready to change my perspective: first, let's see if users are still bringing money in.
It's obviously good to see platform assets increase, but there could be two completely different contributions here. One is new user deposits, and the other is the price appreciation of existing stocks and crypto assets in accounts. When the market is good, both happen together, making the financial reports lively; when the market cools down, the difference becomes clear.
If asset growth mainly relies on market appreciation, that part of the growth is more dependent on the market. Continuous net user deposits better indicate that the platform is capturing real capital migration. Of course, net deposits must also be considered alongside promotional activities and statistical criteria; you can't stop questioning just because you switch metrics.
My expectation for Robinhood is whether it can transform from a "trade when the market comes" app into an account where users are willing to keep their money long-term.
This is much rarer than a sudden spike in monthly trading volume. Trading enthusiasm can rise quickly and disappear just as fast; users willing to leave funds require product, service, and trust to accumulate slowly.
So, if the next financial report shows strong trading revenue, I will be happy. But what would truly make me want to upgrade my judgment is if, after the excitement, users' money continues to flow in. That would indicate the platform has gained more than just a temporary market boom.
#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ A previously little-known South Korean shipowner is writing a wealth legend in the world's most sensitive oil transportation channel. With a bet of nearly $6 billion to stockpile 73 second-hand Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), South Korea's Sinokor Group has established an almost monopolistic position in the oil shipping market of the Strait of Hormuz—its fleet's monthly oil transport volume exceeds the combined total of the next three national shipowners. In September this year, Sinokor's vessels transported 105.6 million barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz, accounting for nearly 40% of the total oil transit volume through the strait that month. The three shipowners following closely—Saudi National Shipping Company (Bahri), Kuwait Oil Tanker Company, and the shipping division of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company—had a combined transport volume of only 97.3 million barrels during the same period. In the first 10 days of October, Sinokor's share further rose to over 50%. A carefully planned strategic gamble Sinokor's rise began with a rare large-scale second-hand ship acquisition in the industry. Since 2026, Sinokor Maritime has dominated the second-hand VLCC acquisition market, purchasing a total of 73 VLCCs with a total expenditure of nearly $6 billion, equal to the combined spending of the other eight largest oil tanker buyers worldwide. All 73 ships were delivered this year. Supporting this acquisition frenzy is the financial backing of the world's largest shipowner, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). Earlier this year, MSC acquired 50% of Sinokor Maritime's sharesSK Hynix's Q3 earnings report will be released on October 28. Market consensus expects revenue of about 98.2 trillion KRW, operating profit of 76-77 trillion KRW, and an operating margin approaching 78%, potentially setting a record for the sixth consecutive quarter.
The core focus is on HBM4. The company began mass production and shipments in Q2, with Q3 expected to more clearly reflect contributions related to Nvidia Vera Rubin. High-priced long-term contracts and rising prices for general DRAM are the main supports for maintaining high profit margins.
However, the market is also digesting some concerns: some channels report that HBM4 shipments have been below expectations for two consecutive quarters, involving Rubin's schedule and mass production adjustments; there are voices about backend equipment deliveries being delayed until 2027; Samsung is clearly catching up in HBM4 yield and market share, with Bernstein even estimating that Samsung's Q3 HBM revenue might briefly surpass SK Hynix's.
Conclusion: HBM4 is indeed contributing incremental growth, but in the short term, it looks more like a "structural shift on a high base" rather than a pure volume surge. The earnings report will focus on management's statements regarding HBM4 shipment pace, ASP trends, and 2027 capacity planning. The sustainability of high profit margins still depends on whether the supply-demand gap can continue. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ 比特币的"数字黄金"共识正在被重新定价，而这次不是靠叙事，是靠数字。 如果连ETF和企业金库都在悄悄改变BTC的持有结构，你还在用"去中心化信仰"给它估值吗？ 这两天翻数据时发现一个很微妙的信号：链上长期持有者没怎么动，但中心化托管地址的BTC存量在爬升。表面看是机构 adoption，换个角度其实是筹码的"可及性"变了——当越来越多币躺在受监管的托管方手里，抗审查这个卖点就在被一点点稀释。市场现在交易的，更像是"合规版BTC"，而不是中本聪白皮书里那个东西。 偏多的逻辑很清晰：ETF通道打开后，传统资金配置BTC的门槛降到了历史最低，品牌效应加上十多年的网络效应，短期没人能替代它。机构进场也确实压低了波动，让BTC更像一个宏观资产。这条路径下，价格有支撑，情绪有底。 但被忽略的风险藏在结构里。算力集中在少数矿池、源码话语权在核心开发者小圈子、ETF托管又让监管有了间接触点——这三件事单独看都不致命，叠在一起就值得警惕了。更要紧的是，量子计算对老地址公钥的潜在威胁不是"会不会来"的问题，而是"来了之后社区能不能协调"的问题。去中心化在升级面前，反而成了最沉的包袱。 山寨这边感受更直接。The afternoon's trend suddenly changed; the bulls were liquidated in the morning, and now BTC has pulled back from 79,686 to 80,206, directly standing back above 80,000. The liquidation list has completely flipped, with the shorts now being selectively liquidated.
Key data:
1️⃣ BTC | About 1.2-hour sample | Total liquidation 77.3721 million U | Short liquidation 77.3721 million U, accounting for 100% | No long liquidation in the sample, all low-position short sellers were trapped by this pullback.
2️⃣ ZEC | About 4.1-hour sample | Total liquidation 22.7813 million U | Short liquidation 14.8422 million U, accounting for 65.15% | Long liquidation 7.9391 million U, current price 1214.52, again near the 1215 threshold. During the rise and fall, shorts were liquidated first.
3️⃣ SOL | About 3.7-hour sample | Total liquidation 264,600 U | Long liquidation 213,400 U | Short liquidation 51,100 U, total volume is still small, no significant liquidation trend in either direction.
This whole morning and noon, both longs and shorts were liquidated once. This is the most frustrating part of the 79,200 to 81,100 range — before the direction emerges, leverage on both sides takes turns paying. Note that this rally was driven by short covering, not spot buying. How far it can go depends on the volume when the US stock market opens tonight.
BTC 79,200 is temporarily holding, but before firmly standing above 81,100, the rebound should still be seen as a short-covering move, not a reversal.Weekend Market Notes: Low Volume Bottoming, Don't Rush to Catch the Falling Knife (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
BTC dipped to 79,840 over the weekend but bounced back above 80,000, though the trading volume was only half of the 7-day average, a typical low-volume bottoming (￣▽￣)~*. Middle East news has been downgraded to background noise, no longer the main logic. Before the interest rate decision lands, it's highly likely to see low-volume oscillation around 80,000: hold your spot in spot trading and don't fuss; if you're itchy, wait until after Wednesday.
The three moving averages above are pressing down, with the MA30 near 82,900; a rebound to that area will likely be pushed back; the upper boundary of the range at 87,200 is an even bigger ceiling (¬_¬). ZEC shows volume and price not cooperating: it fell from 1,373 to around 1,200, with shrinking volume on rebounds and few chasing the rise; the current price at 1,196 is just a bit above the MA20, RSI at 47.8, neither strong nor overbought. However, it's the only one with a positive 7-day gain; this privacy coin is indeed showing some strength against the trend ✧(≖ ◡ ≖✿).
Don't catch the falling knife near 2,300 on ETH; wait until the whale liquidation line is hit. That on-chain $397 million long whale added $9.21 million margin last night, pushing the liquidation price from 2,256 down to 2,181; current price is 2,327, only $146 away from the critical point, tension is maxed out (°ー°〃).
In short: BTC is low volume waiting for the interest rate decision, ZEC is counter-trend but volume and price lack momentum, ETH is watching the whale's critical point first. This is just a market record, not advice～

#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 I originally wanted to open a long position around 80000, but after checking the liquidation chart, I immediately pulled back my hand. It's not that I don't understand the direction, but my position is exactly caught between two layers of mines. Opening a position here means the stop loss will either be triggered or on the way to being triggered. I've been shaken by this kind of sandwich more than once.
The chart is glaringly bright 👀: there's a yellow zone around 81000 overhead, and from 81300 to 81500 there's another resistance; at the bottom around 79700 it's also bright, and from 79000 to 79200 there's another zone. The highest level on the legend marks 36.04 million, with positions stacked waiting to be triggered both above and below. The current price at 80163 is right in the middle; whichever side breaks first will trigger a chain reaction.
Options are even more twisted: among existing open interests, 59.57% are bullish, betting on an upward move; but in daily trading volume, bearish orders account for 52.67%, meaning short-term traders are already buying protection. The latest sell-side depth in the order book is slightly thicker than the buy side, and the thick buy orders from the morning have already flipped. These three factors combined mean the sentiment is bullish in words, protective in action, and there's a selling wall overhead—quite awkward.
My strategy is fixed: I will only go long if it holds above 81500, with a stop loss set below 81000; I won't catch a falling knife below 79700, and will wait to see after the 79000 zone reacts. For ETH, SOL, and ZEC, I only follow BTC's chart; I won't touch any of them before the chart signals. No trades in the sandwich zone—I'd rather miss out than be fuel for the mines above and below 😤Elon Musk warns: Among more than 200 new AI cloud service providers worldwide, only a few may survive in the future, with most going bankrupt or being consolidated.
The most awkward are those companies that switched from Bitcoin mining to AI: IREN, WULF, CIFR, HIVE, etc. They have land, electricity, and mining farms, seemingly holding a strong advantage. But AI data centers are much more expensive than mining farms, GPUs update rapidly, and many haven't stabilized profits yet, already carrying heavy debts.
CoreWeave has about $50 billion in debt, with some bond yields soaring to 15%-16% at one point. As of October 22, short sellers of CoreWeave, IREN, NBIS, and three other AI infrastructure companies have accumulated floating profits of about $6 billion in October.
SpaceX can complete $40 billion in GPU debt financing, relying on independent revenue from Starlink and rocket launches to support its credit. Many Neocloud companies lack this foundation and can only hope to repay debts with future computing power rental income.

Back then, many companies that frantically laid fiber and built infrastructure didn't survive until the industry truly prospered...#中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ As the U.S. midterm elections approach, the market is focusing on how the shift in congressional control will impact crypto regulation. The current Congress's crypto regulatory bills have encountered obstacles, and the outcome will determine whether the new Congress will restart related legislation. If it leans crypto-friendly, it will help clarify the regulatory framework and benefit institutional capital deployment; if regulatory tightening expectations rise, Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem will face greater pressure, typically underperforming Bitcoin. Before the election results are finalized, polling fluctuations will amplify market volatility, with long and short positions being liquidated back and forth. But it is important to understand that the midterm elections are merely a catalyst for the market; the core factors determining the major trends of BTC and ETH remain the Federal Reserve's interest rate expectations and ETF capital flows. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Trump: "The moment of decision" has arrived, either negotiate or fight. Four possible scenarios before the midterm elections👇
① Continue with rhetoric, no immediate action (most likely)
Starting a war would push up oil prices and increase casualties, which would backfire on the Republicans. Iran also wants to wait for the election results. The market will fluctuate repeatedly with the news.
② Achieve limited diplomatic results
First reach partial consensus on reducing attacks and ensuring shipping safety, leaving difficult issues for after the election. Risk appetite will recover in the short term, but sustainability depends on whether shipping truly improves.
③ Limited strikes to show toughness
If the deadlock harms the tough image, Trump might opt for a quick decisive strike. But the scale of the strike is controlled by the U.S., while the scale of retaliation is not. If Iran restrains itself, the impact will be short; if energy facilities are affected, it will get out of control.
④ Forced escalation due to sudden events (most to guard against)
U.S. military casualties, new Israeli actions, or obstruction of the strait could all ruin the "wait until after the election" plan. Oil prices will rise again, and U.S. stocks and Bitcoin will be sold off first.
Watch closely for three signals: whether there is a joint arrangement, whether shipping improves, and whether there are major casualties.
The election gives Trump the motive to control the situation but does not give him the ability to control the opponent's reaction.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ In short: Q3 depends on whether the fundamentals can be stabilized; HBM4 is not about the present, but about the expected realization of AI storage's second growth curve.#OilFlowsRecover

I will first check if BTC holds 80,000 USD, then look at ETH's support at 2300. The reason is simple: if BTC stabilizes at this key level, it indicates that the overall market risk appetite has at least not worsened; ETH bouncing near support might just be a short-term rebound, and entering solely on that could mean buying into a retracement. Currently on OKX spot, BTC has just returned above 80,000, while ETH remains near its 24-hour low, with strength and weakness not yet reversed.
However, "BTC stabilizing first" doesn't mean ETH can't strengthen first. If ETH repeatedly tests but doesn't break below 2300, raises its lows, and reclaims the 24-hour opening price near 2353, while BTC holds 80,000, that would be a higher quality relative strength; if it's just a wick pullback without volume support, I wouldn't call it a confirmed support.
Conversely, if BTC breaks below the 24-hour low near 79,378 and fails to rebound above 80,000, even if ETH temporarily holds 2300, it could be dragged down by the broader market; if ETH effectively breaks below around 2293 and fails to rebound, its own support judgment fails. My observation sequence is BTC first providing the risk bottom line, then ETH confirming the bounce. If ETH reclaims 2353 first and continues to outperform while BTC remains sideways near 80,000, then the "look at BTC first" judgment should be overturned.

Do you feel like BTC is now oscillating up and down and seems to have stabilized, making your hands itch to jump in and bottom-fish? Don't rush to act yet!
Look at the green bars in front on the $BTC chart: there is indeed a net inflow of fifty to sixty million in 1-hour and 2-hour intervals. Retail investors think the opportunity has come and rush in hard, but if you look further right at the long-term data, the 30-day contract net outflow is as high as 7.682 billion, and spot has also lost 1.237 billion. The short-term inflows are all to lure retail investors to take the bags; big money started a crazy retreat a month ago.
Now look at $ETH — this data is even more painful! The short-term 1-hour just saw an inflow of over 80 million, but over 30 days, contract funds have fled 8.595 billion, and spot outflow is 3.784 billion. The capital loss in ETH is even more severe than BTC. Every short-term rebound is providing liquidity for big money to unload.
Finally, look at $SOL — it’s somewhat more resistant to decline, but the 30-day contract has also outflowed nearly 2 billion. The overall trend is still outflow.
Summary: Don’t be fooled by the green bars in front of you for just a few dozen minutes. This is called giving you a little sweetness in the short term while hollowing out your principal in the long term. Big money is cashing out crazily on the rebounds. Without real gold and silver to support the bottom, what can drive the price up? I firmly stay out of the market and watch the show.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Today I came across discussions about BNB's new L1, and the reflex of opportunists: a new chain, is there a new coin? 😂
I checked the official info, and the answer is straightforward: no new chain coin will be issued; BNB will continue to be used. It's not about retiring BSC, but launching another chain aimed at scenarios like trading, payments, AI, etc.
I actually think this is more worth discussing than performance specs. Every time a new chain is made, it doesn't necessarily have to come with a new coin, forcing users to re-study valuation, circulation, and unlock schedules.
But since it's still in internal development, the public testnet and mainnet aren't open yet, so don't rush to find faucet links.
What I really want to see is whether it can retain users by being practical without relying on the airdrop expectations of a new coin. That's more interesting than how many TPS are shouted at launch events.Is ZEC about to take a big hit? I just saw that Josh Swihart, the core developer of Zcash, publicly opposed Shielded Labs' Crosslink staking proposal, arguing that it increases risks and lacks sufficient community consensus, so the upgrade has been paused. On the very same day, both $ZEC and $XMR experienced noticeable declines. First of all, everyone knows that ZEC's gains over the past three months have been the only independent rally in this cycle, so although this drop isn't particularly large and may not necessarily be related to this news, it still deserves special attention. This is because it's the first time ZEC has encountered governance issues, rather than the privacy coin's biggest risk that the community has always worried about—regulation.
Secondly, while governance risks usually don't immediately reflect in the price, they gradually erode consensus premium. Crosslink aims to shift ZEC from PoW to hybrid staking, which affects the distribution of benefits between miners and token holders. Even though ZEC holders usually don't care about governance and only care about the narrative, historical experience tells us this is often the most vulnerable point, where internal splits can easily cause failure if not handled carefully.
That's all, DYOR SOMETHING STRANGE KEEPS HAPPENING EVERY 4 YEARS Look at the timing 2014, 2018, 2022 And no, I'm not talking about the clichéd 4-year cycle.

A midterm year brings a major drawdown, and the following year brings a powerful recoveryFirst, consider the worst-case scenario: if more tokens continue to flow into exchanges and buying support is insufficient, short-term volatility could amplify. This is my stress test, not a result that has already occurred. According to Ember monitoring, a whale who subscribed to 100,000 ETH at $0.311 each in 2015 has transferred 50,000 ETH for the first time after holding for about 11 years, with 1,500 ETH already flowing into exchanges.
⚠️ I am more concerned about the uncertainty of potential selling pressure rather than the "ancient whale" label. First, transferring to exchanges does not equal selling, so directly assuming a dump can lead to misjudgment; second, their historical cost is extremely low, so you cannot use the average holder's cost basis to guess their willingness to sell.
Having done risk control, I am used to first verifying the maximum loss tolerable per transaction, including slippage, rather than guessing direction based on whales. Moving forward, I will only observe whether transfers continue and whether actual trades can absorb the volume.帕尔 $BTC 行情周报 -10.26 一、K 线分析 1）周线大区间仍在 60-98。行情掠夺 6W 后向上突破周 LH，吃掉上方 fvg 流动性打到 874，随后进入震荡下跌。目前已经连跌 3 周，整个 10 月基本都在震荡回调里，价格到了 eq 79 附近。 2）流动性：核心看 75。75 是 ssl，下方是大块 fvg。本周关键就是看这里会不会被掠夺。 按下跌预期，位置分三档： 1）77-78 吸筹震荡；突破 80、站稳 79 看涨 2）掠夺 75，插针 72 附近，再拉起站稳 75 3）延续下跌，测试 64-65 ob 二、数据分析 1）ETF 上周 ETF 总计流入 +3.01 亿，终结 10 月前两周连跌，但周内博弈很惨。前三日狂吸 +10.75 亿（周一 IBIT 爆买 6.65 亿打底，周三 IBIT+FBTC 合买 4.48 亿）冲击 $85k；周四受美股科技财报和油价冲击，单日暴砸 -6.36 亿，全周最终净流入 +3.01 亿。 IBIT 净流入 +5.66 亿单骑救主；FBTC（-1.17 亿）和 ARKB（-1.00 亿）是砸盘主力。 目前 $83.6k-$SpaceX's reported $40B GPU debt financing points to a sharper divide in AI infrastructure: lenders appear more willing to back compute expansion when it sits alongside established revenue from launches and Starlink.

Sudden large capital inflow in 1 hour, but still huge outflow in 24h.
This kind of "long inflow short entry" divergence is usually an oversold rebound or a bull trap.
Before the major trend changes, do not blindly chase highs and beware of false breakoutsCore Market Assessment: $BTC BTC breaks below 80K support line, ETH under pressure with on-chain divergence
Compared to the previous trading day, a key shift has occurred: BTC has confirmed a drop below $80,000. Over the weekend, BTC declined stepwise, hitting a low near $79,280, currently hovering just below $80,000. More critically, 64% of net long positions are built above $81,993, meaning a large number of longs are at unrealized losses. If the price continues to fall, it could trigger a cascade of liquidation selling pressure. In the past 24 hours, total liquidations across the network reached $481 million, with longs accounting for over 70%.
$ETH ETH also fell below $2,300, down about 2.58% in 24 hours. However, a notable divergence signal has emerged: Ethereum exchanges saw a net outflow of approximately 169,800 ETH in one day, the highest in nearly 4 months, reducing exchange sell-side supply and theoretically easing selling pressure. Yet, spot ETH ETFs recorded a cumulative net outflow exceeding $1 billion from October 1 to 22, indicating persistent capital pressure. Santiment marks $2,330 as a short-term key level; breaking below weakens the bottoming case, while holding above $2,500 strengthens bottom expectations.
Specific Trading Strategies
Bitcoin (BTC): Bearish below 80K, watch for retracements to long cost zones
Core Logic: $80,000 has shifted from support to short-term resistance. Until $81,993 (dense net long cost zone) is reclaimed, rebounds should be treated as shorting opportunities. However, geopolitical news (US-Iran conflict) could trigger sharp rallies, so shorting on the rebound requires caution.
• Short on rebound (main logic):
• Entry: If price rebounds to $80,500–$80,900 resistance zone (previous support turned resistance and intraday sell wall).
• Stop loss: Above $81,500 (near lower edge of net long cost zone).
• Target: First $79,300–$79,500 (intraday lows), then reduce position and target $78,000–$78,600.
• Short on breakdown (to guard against accelerated decline):
• Condition: 4-hour candle closes below $79,200.
• Target: Below $78,000, further down to $77,500.
• Stop loss: Back above $80,000.
• Counter-trend small longs (high risk, short-term only):
• Entry: Only attempt light positions near $79,200–$79,400 if clear 15-minute level bottom signals appear (high volume long lower shadow or double bottom).
• Stop loss: Below $78,900.
• Target: $79,900–$80,200 (quick in and out, no prolonged holding).
Ethereum (ETH): Weak follow-through, awaiting key level reaction
Core Logic: ETH technicals are weaker than BTC, and ETF capital outflows continue to suppress rebounds. However, exchange net outflows hitting multi-month highs warn shorts to be cautious of sudden rebounds from supply contraction. $2,330 is a key observation level marked by Santiment.
• Short on rebound (trend-following logic):
• Entry: If price rebounds to $2,330–$2,350 resistance zone (previous support turned resistance and key observation level).
• Stop loss: Above $2,380.
• Target: $2,280–$2,300 (intraday lows), then reduce position and target $2,250.
• Short on breakdown:
• Condition: 1-hour candle closes below $2,280.
• Target: $2,220–$2,250.
• Stop loss: Back above $2,320.
• Right-side small longs (requires strong confirmation):
• Condition: Only consider light longs if ETH recovers above $2,380 with volume and holds.
• Target: $2,450–$2,500.
• Stop loss: Below $2,340. Bottom fishing at current levels is not recommended.
Key Risk Management Reminders
1. FOMC is the biggest variable this week: The Federal Reserve's rate decision and Chair's press conference will occur this week. Ahead of the decision, large funds tend to stay on the sidelines, casting doubt on the sustainability of one-sided moves. If holding swing short positions, partial profit-taking or hedging before the meeting is advised to guard against sharp reversals triggered by hawkish/dovish statements.
2. Sudden geopolitical shocks: The risk of US-Iran military escalation remains, with high oil prices exacerbating inflation concerns. Any sudden military news could cause rapid sharp drops or spikes in risk assets. Strict stop-loss discipline is essential; do not hold through adverse moves.
3. High long crowding: BTC net longs are concentrated above $81,993, with ETH showing similar structure previously. This suggests rebounds may lack sustainability—each rally could face selling pressure from longs trying to exit losing positions. Long positions should be short-term only, not swing trades.
4. Thin liquidity: Currently in Asian early trading hours, order book depth is shallow, and small capital can cause sharp price moves. Use limit orders preferentially; avoid chasing with market orders.
Can PONS still be saved?
Today, PONS's data is basically flat compared to yesterday, with a daily trading volume of about $24M. Compared to the previous all-time high of $923M, it has shrunk by 97.4%.
Previously, I predicted that PONS's daily trading volume might stabilize between $30M and $40M. Now it seems that was too optimistic; I wonder if $20M can be maintained?
Looking at Robinhood Chain, the on-chain trading volumes for the past two days were $542M and $484M respectively. Compared to the all-time high of $3.5B, it has shrunk by about 86%, and its ranking in total chain trading volume has dropped to fifth.
PONS's slump is no longer just a problem of the project itself; the overall trading activity on Robinhood Chain is continuously declining.
For PONS to turn things around, it probably has to wait for Robinhood Chain to heat up again. The Federal Reserve holding steady in October is almost a foregone conclusion, with CME data showing only about a 10% chance of a rate hike.
Economists aren't really concerned about whether there will be a hike this time; 94% expect a pause.
The real key point is that the dot plot still shows 12 members believe there should be another hike this year, and several hawkish officials are likely to directly vote against the pause at this meeting.
At that time, attention should be paid to Waller's speech to see if he signals hawkishness 🦅.
The market is betting everything on December; currently, the probability priced in for a 25 basis point hike in December has surged to nearly 68%.
$BTC is currently struggling painfully around the 80,000 level.
In the past 24 hours, the entire market liquidated $670 million, with $457 million in long positions liquidated, triggering another wave of long liquidations—basically, if you dare to chase at 80,000, you'll keep getting cut.
However, contract open interest is rising, with both longs and shorts betting.
The likely script for this week is: no rate hike in October, possibly a short-term "bad news is priced in" pulse, but as long as Waller doesn't back down in the press conference, or even hints at action in December, the little space $BTC has ground out above 80,000 will soon be squeezed back down.
