For this Google earnings report, I think it will be "not exceeding expectations."
It's not bearish on Google, but I believe the market's expectations for AI and cloud business are already high.
📊 Three core judgments:
① The key threshold for this forecast is GAAP EPS of $3.10, it must be strictly exceeded to count as YES.
② AI and cloud business growth is promising, but high capital expenditures may also pressure future profits.
③ Google's previous earnings were affected by investment income, so the high EPS last quarter cannot be simply regarded as normal.
⚠️ Biggest risk: advertising and cloud business growth exceeding expectations, or investment income pushing GAAP EPS higher again.

#谷歌财报 #GOOGL #美股财报季$SNDK's precise prediction yesterday came true; why is SanDisk doomed to decline?
Last night, the article clearly pointed out that SanDisk was a bull trap leading to a sell-off, maintaining a bearish outlook with the first target in the 1230-1250 range. Last night, SanDisk's lowest point dropped to 1227.29, perfectly hitting the target, once again confirming the accuracy of the logic.
Why was the trend locked in the day before yesterday?
During the day before yesterday, the intraday rally followed by a long upper shadow indicated that the main force was unloading shares, not a reversal. The sector's weakness was exposed; although AI concept stocks like SK Hynix were rising, traditional storage represented by SanDisk is dragged down by overcapacity, making it a weak stock that follows declines rather than rises. Once the key support at 1230 is broken, the downside is a vacuum zone.
Currently, the price is consolidating around 1243, but this is just a pause in the downtrend. As long as 1250 cannot be reclaimed, the trend remains downward, and the 1200 whole number level is precarious. The logic remains unchanged; do not be fooled by small intraday rebounds.

#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ $BTC $ZEC $XAU #ETF single-day outflow exceeds $600 million, can BTC price stabilize? Core conclusion: Currently, it is a macro pullback within a bull market, no confirmed bear trend yet. The market direction depends not on the trading floor but on the Fed FOMC's rate cut expectations.
1. Root causes of the decline
1. Although the probability of a rate hike in October is very low, the market is trading on how long high interest rates will last and the delay of rate cuts. US Treasury real yields are rising, and BTC, as a highly elastic risk asset, is under obvious pressure, recently highly correlated with gold.
2. Previous long positions were crowded, leveraged positions triggered stop-loss cascades, accelerating the pullback; during broad market declines, funds prioritize shrinking risk exposure, altcoins fall first, BTC is relatively resistant, reflecting capital flight to safety back into BTC.
Long-term logic remains intact: spot ETF institutional allocation and halving cycle narratives still exist, just temporarily overshadowed by macro factors.
2. Key levels
- Core defense: 80,000 round number
Daily close above 80,000: maintain a wide-range consolidation and washout pattern, a healthy adjustment.
If it effectively breaks below 80,000 and fails to rebound above: trend weakens, opening support near 76,000.
- Short-term resistance: 82,000-83,000; only by holding this range can there be room for recovery rebound; strong resistance near 87,000 above.
In summary: The cycle bottom is still intact, but before the macro turning point arrives, oscillation and bottoming are the main themes. 80,000 is the short-term bull-bear dividing line.

The AI storage super cycle has pushed Samsung's profits to historic highs, but internal business divisions are intensifying.
Operating profit is about 107.4 trillion KRW (approximately $80.17 billion), a year-on-year surge of 782.5%, breaking 100 trillion KRW in a single quarter for the first time, setting records for four consecutive quarters; revenue is about 195 trillion KRW, up 126.6% year-on-year.
Profit slightly below Bloomberg expectations, revenue below market expectations, stock price fell more than 1% after data release.
Almost entirely reliant on storage: DS division expects operating profit of about 110 trillion KRW, with storage contributing about 111.9 trillion, while foundry and system LSI losses are about 1.9 trillion.
Drivers: AI data centers snapping up memory; DRAM price quarter-on-quarter increase forecast raised to 10%–20%; HBM shipments up nearly 50% quarter-on-quarter, share rising from 21% in Q1 to 33% in Q2.
Concerns: Storage price hikes backfiring on terminals, phone MX/NW expected to lose about 1.8 trillion KRW, TV and home appliances losing about 400 billion KRW; Korean won appreciation drags; foundry still at a loss.
Full financial report on October 29 to watch: HBM revenue and profit margin, 2027 supply and demand outlook, whether foundry losses can narrow, pace of capacity expansion.
"8x profit increase" has been realized, next to watch is whether HBM profit margin and storage cycle can continue. @OKX中文 @OKX星球 #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
AVAX's trend is really frustrating. It has already broken the short-term support at 9.10, just tested the low of 8.854, and is now hovering around 9.047, with wave after wave of slow declines. The moving averages are all pressing downwards, a typical bearish formation. In the past few days, not even a decent rebound has held, and buying power is extremely weak.
The most awkward part is that Avalanche's fundamentals are actually not bad. On one hand, traditional big institutions like Goldman Sachs and Charles Schwab keep flocking to Avalanche, the RWA (Real World Assets) narrative is booming, on-chain daily trading volume has hit a yearly high, and active addresses have surged from 100,000 to over 500,000. VanEck's spot ETF is also launched, and Grayscale has a staking ETF running.
Logically, the story is quite complete, but the price just doesn't acknowledge it. Charles Schwab released a report a couple of days ago praising Avalanche @avax as the leader in institutional blockchain and RWA sectors, then immediately added a caveat—adoption is one thing, whether it can translate into demand for AVAX tokens is another. That really hits the core issue.
Recently, the macro environment hasn't been supportive either. The Federal Reserve is very likely not to cut rates in October, market liquidity is tight, and funds are flowing to "big brothers" like Bitcoin and Ethereum, so second-tier public chains like #AVAX naturally get neglected. Plus, its own ecosystem hasn't seen much action lately; although the subnet upgrade sounds good, the market isn't buying it. $AVAX Bitcoin on Saturday morning matched Friday's volume but dropped to a nine-day low in price.
From 6 to 8 AM, OKX perpetual contracts saw 1.15 billion in volume.
During the same period last Friday, it was 360 million.
At 9 AM, both sides traded 1.96 billion.
Isn't the weekend supposed to be quiet? I checked twice.
At 7 AM, the spike reached 80,045.
At 8 AM, it closed at 80,057 and is now sideways.
The 9 AM hourly candle only has 140 million left.
After the drop, the traders left as if on cue.
Open interest dropped from Friday's peak of 3.47 billion to 3.33 billion.
The fee rate increased by one basis point, capped at 37.5, still far off.
Leverage is retreating, no crash.
ETH and SOL are down a bit.
To put it simply.
No one is stepping in to buy over the weekend.
The same sell order on a weekday always finds a buyer.
On Saturday morning, only leveraged longs are queued up, wanting to exit but can't.
Weekend drops are like this: volume isn't small, price goes deep.
Can't say if this is a dump or a retreat, but the result is similar.
81,300 was the lower boundary from yesterday's post, broken this morning.
I won't catch the fall or chase shorts, afraid Monday will show me.
If Monday closes back above 81,300 with volume returning to 150 million per hour, it's a liquidity trap, and I'll admit I was wrong;
If it breaks below 80,000, look down to 79,725.
Brent crude closed at 111.7 on Friday, the wind hasn't stopped.
Don't try to guess the bottom over the weekend, this is a reminder to myself.
Are you betting on Monday closing back above 81,300, or directly looking at 79,725?

#BTC spot ETF funds fluctuate, can market buying stabilize?#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
In brief: Gold is currently locked in an intense tug-of-war around the $4000 mark.
1. Market performance: Spot gold broke below $4000 last week, plunging 4% in a single week—the worst weekly performance since June; the year-to-date trend has shifted from gains to losses (down over 7%), with a maximum drawdown approaching 30%.
2. Downward transmission chain (three main drivers):
· During stock market crashes, funds flow into U.S. Treasuries rather than gold, because high interest rates make U.S. Treasuries both a safe haven and yield-bearing, raising the systemic holding cost of gold as a zero-yield asset.
· Oil price-driven inflation expectations: Middle East tensions have pushed oil prices above $100, reinforcing the Fed's rationale to maintain high interest rates (December rate hike probability up to 74.8%), further pressuring gold prices.
· Technical sell-off: A large number of leveraged long positions accumulated above $4000; breaking this round number triggered programmed stop-losses and margin calls, causing a chain liquidation that amplified the decline.
3. Institutional divergence: Long-term bullish, short-term bearish:
· Short-term (across the board downward revisions): JPMorgan cut its year-end target from about $6000 to $4500; Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and UBS also lowered short-term forecasts.
4. Key observation windows and technical levels:
· Core defense line: $4000. If breached, the next reference point is the year-to-date low of $3942.43.
· Verification node: October 27–28 FOMC meeting; subsequent inflation and employment data and any rebound are likely to face a new round of selling pressure.$LAB The main force in the large cycle is still running away, while retail investors are still bottom-fishing. This is a dog-whale highly controlling the coin, be cautious when bottom-fishing. The overall trend is bearish.

$BTC $ETH #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ The Storage Trio: Why is SNDK Falling Behind Alone?
SNDK is the weakest due to the triple hit of "China supply shock + poor chip structure after spinoff + risk aversion before earnings." ChangXin Memory announced the launch of 4F² architecture DDR5 by the end of the year, raising market concerns about Chinese manufacturers entering the high-end storage market at low prices. As a pure NAND stock, SNDK lacks WDC's HDD buffer after the spinoff, concentrating selling pressure. Coupled with the approaching earnings report on October 29, funds are rushing to hedge. If you bought in at 1410 and are down 170 points, essentially you chased the "emotional peak + supply panic peak" double resonance.
Unwinding strategy: The current support is around 1225, the previous low. If it breaks down with volume, wait for a rebound to 1280-1300 to reduce positions; if it holds 1225 before earnings, use the RSI oversold recovery above 1280 to gradually deleverage. Don't cut losses in panic; wait for the emotional rebound after the earnings release.
For those planning to trade SNDK earnings, I've organized the key support and add thresholds before the report. Don't let the 170-point loss become a bottomless pit!
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $SNDK Most people think $BTC has already bottomed out, but I believe it's still too early to draw conclusions.
I don't like making predictions; I trust data more. Looking back at previous cycles, Bitcoin bottoms often share some common characteristics:
❌ Close to the 0.786 Fib Fibonacci retracement level
✅ Weekly level oversold with bullish divergence
✅ Price near or below the 200-week moving average
❌ Bulls facing multi-billion dollar cascading liquidations
Currently, not all of these signals have appeared.
If BTC rebounds to around $92,000 or even $100,000 but forms a bearish pattern, then this rebound might just be a lower high.
Once it drops sharply again, the $48,000–$39,000 range cannot be completely ruled out.
Of course, the current weekly and monthly structures still lean bullish; this is just another scenario to be cautious about and does not mean BTC will definitely fall to that range.

The ETF bid remains a cushion.#BTCETFFlowSwings $BTC #AI demand supports the storage market, chip stocks fluctuate On October 23, 2026 (Friday) after the US stock market closed, the market showed a very clear macro transmission chain: Middle East geopolitical risks pushed up crude oil, rising oil prices reignited inflation and rate hike concerns, this pressure simultaneously suppressed gold and US stocks, while the US dollar and US Treasury yields strengthened due to heightened risk aversion and policy expectations.
US Stocks: Dow plunges, but tech stock declines slow, with sharp internal divergence
All three major indices closed lower on Friday, but internal divergence was obvious. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped sharply by 652.82 points, down 1.23%, closing at 52,215.16 points, a significantly larger decline than the other two major indices. The S&P 500 fell 0.52%, closing at 7,623.68; the Nasdaq Composite fell only 0.21%, closing at 25,955.34. After Thursday’s 2.6% plunge, selling pressure on tech stock $SOXL eased temporarily.
This divergence reflects capital withdrawing from traditional value/cyclical sectors, while tech stocks found some support after being oversold. Thursday’s Nasdaq plunge had already priced in the negative news for the AI sector, while Friday’s Dow catch-up decline was more a delayed reaction to soaring oil prices and rising interest rates.
#Middle East crude oil supply risks rise again, oil prices continue to strengthen
Gold $XAU: Falls below $4000, inflation expectations outweigh safe-haven logic
Gold continued its decline on Friday, spot gold fell 0.6%, closing at $3,998.35 per ounce, briefly touching $3,975.23 intraday. This was the first close below the $4,000 mark since mid-July. Gold fell about 4% this week, marking its worst weekly performance in over four months.
The core pressure comes from inflation and rate hike expectations triggered by soaring energy prices. High oil prices raise market concerns that inflation will not quickly subside, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will maintain tightening, increasing the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding gold. Geopolitical conflict should have brought safe-haven buying, but in this battle, the "oil price → inflation → rate hike" chain outweighed the "conflict → safe haven" chain.
Crude Oil $CL: Geopolitical risks priced in, Brent breaks $116
Crude oil was the strongest performing asset on Friday, with both benchmarks recording significant gains. December WTI crude futures rose $3.80, up 3.82%, closing at $103.27 per barrel; December Brent crude rose $3.55, up 3.14%, closing at $116.72 per barrel.
The direct catalyst was the concentrated escalation of Middle East supply risks. Houthi forces launched multiple attacks on Saudi Arabia, targeting Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities. Market concerns over the security of the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea shipping sharply intensified, injecting geopolitical risk premiums back into oil prices. With inventories already low, any substantial supply disruption is amplified in pricing.
US Treasuries: Yields rise across the board, short end leads
US Treasury yields rose across the board on Friday, with the 2-year yield up 4 basis points to 4.680%, the 10-year up 4.15 basis points to 4.995%, and the 30-year up 4.07 basis points to 5.320%. The short end’s gains were similar to the long end, with little curve change.
This trend sharply contrasts with Thursday—when risk aversion drove funds into Treasuries, pushing the 10-year yield briefly below 5% to around 4.96%. Friday’s reversal indicates that after briefly pricing in risk aversion, the market returned to the main narrative of "oil price pushing inflation → Fed reluctant to ease." The 10-year yield approaching the key psychological 5% level again means valuation pressure on risk assets remains.
US Dollar: Slightly stronger but nearly flat for the week
The US Dollar Index rose 0.2% on Friday, closing at 101.811. The gain was modest but aligned with rising Treasury yields. The dollar was roughly flat for the week, trading between 102.08 and 101.446.
Dollar support comes from marginal improvement in interest rate differentials—rising Treasury yields, especially at the short end, provide a floor for the dollar. However, limited gains indicate no strong consensus for a one-sided dollar bullish view, and the approaching Fed meeting next week has made position adjustments cautious.
The core contradiction in Friday’s market was "oil price dominates everything." Middle East supply risks pushed crude oil higher, reigniting inflation and rate hike concerns, which in turn suppressed gold and US stocks while pushing up Treasury yields and the dollar. The fragility of this chain is that if oil prices continue to rise, inflation expectations will further solidify, compressing the Fed’s policy space and making it difficult to ease valuation pressure on risk assets. Next week’s Fed meeting will be a key test of whether this logic can continue. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ 【$IRYS surged 570% then retraced 75%, whale buying but leverage withdrew?】
$IRYS has been a rollercoaster: it surged from around $0.02 to $0.3148, then dropped back to about $0.08, a roughly 75% retracement from the peak. The 24-hour trading volume soared above $1.2 billion, showing huge heat, but the high turnover couldn’t hold the price, indicating fierce battles between momentum buyers and selling pressure.
Capital flows are also mixed. According to Crypto Sonar’s whale trades, about $9.4 million was bought and $4.02 million sold, with buyers temporarily dominant; meanwhile, contract open interest dropped 14.34% within an hour, and short liquidations increased. This looks more like some shorts being forced to cover and rapid position clearing, not direct evidence of sustained large-scale accumulation.
What to watch next is crowded chasing at high levels: extreme positive funding rates have been observed, meaning long position costs may rise quickly; on October 25, about 77.59 million IRYS will unlock, roughly 0.8% of total supply, so potential new circulating supply must be monitored.
Trading-wise, this currently seems like a sharp move driven by a short squeeze combined with speculative funds, with no confirmed stable spot buying to take over yet. If the price stabilizes, spot support strengthens, and open interest stops shrinking rapidly, there’s a chance for recovery; if the rebound lacks volume and positions keep dropping, chasing the rally risks facing the next wave of selling pressure.First, consider the worst-case scenario: this 10x long position, if the price keeps moving against it and the margin isn't replenished in time, could be forcibly liquidated, resulting in the loss of the invested margin. Core Trader 15 (0xc9ff12…bc224) has newly opened or added to a long position on $SNDK, with a nominal position size of about $217,600.
From my previous risk control experience, when seeing such a position, I first separate "willingness to bet on direction" from "ability to withstand drawdowns." My judgment is that the pressure on this position lies in the leverage-amplified drawdown, but based solely on the opening data, it's still impossible to assess the overall risk the trader is bearing.
⚠️ Using a simple 10x estimate, the initial margin corresponds to about $21,800; if the price drops 5%, the position loss is about $10,900, which is half of this margin portion, excluding fees. A roughly 10% adverse move is just a rough estimate of principal consumption; actual forced liquidation could happen earlier and should not be treated as a stop-loss line. Another unknown is the total account equity and margin mode; the same nominal position size can impose very different pressure on different accounts.
My risk control advice for ordinary people: first decide how much of your account equity you can afford to lose per trade, then use the stop-loss distance to back-calculate your position size, including slippage in your budget. For those trading these kinds of 10x contracts, how much stop-loss do you usually set per trade—based on price drop percentage or as a percentage of account equity? $WLD is really having a rough day today, down more than 13% in 24 hours, while the overall market only dropped just over 1%, clearly showing its own weakness 😅
Looking at the 1-hour chart, it started a steady decline from 3 AM, and at 6 AM the price plunged directly from 0.508 to 0.4726, which was the largest volume spike in the past two days. The rebound afterward was weak and soft, hovering around 0.48 now. The funding rate is only slightly negative, shorts are paying very little, with open interest over 34 million USD, so short positions are not crowded.
My plan is to short on the rebound, not to chase the drop:
The 0.508 level was the platform before the morning breakdown; once broken, it becomes resistance. I plan to place orders between 0.494-0.499 to short on the rebound.
Stop loss at 0.512; if it climbs back above the broken platform, it means I was wrong, and I’ll accept that.
Target 1 is 0.471, today’s low; Target 2 is 0.457, the low from the 19th.
At Target 1, I’ll reduce half the position and move the stop loss to breakeven on the rest.
I’ve also considered what if things go differently: if it doesn’t rebound and drops straight to 0.47, I won’t chase it and would rather miss out; if the 1-hour candle closes firmly above 0.512, this trade is invalidated, and I’ll look for a possible long entry on a pullback.
What do you think? Will WLD continue to drop here, or is it time for a rebound?
Just my personal opinion, not investment advice, DYOR
#WLD #ContractStrategy #MarketAnalysis#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ **I tend to think the rate hike will pause in October, but that doesn't mean the hikes are over.** There are three main variables to watch:
- **Inflation:** If rising oil prices continue to transmit to services and goods, it will increase pressure for another rate hike.
- **Employment:** Continued slowdown in employment supports a pause; if demand remains strong, it leaves room for hikes.
- **Meeting wording:** Even if there is no rate hike, if the statement emphasizes that a hike in December is still possible, the market may interpret it as bearish.
**Baseline judgment: pause in October, keep the possibility of a hike in December. The biggest risk is "no hike, but a hawkish stance."**#AI demand supports the storage market, chip stocks fluctuate
【AI orders visible until 2031, how much longer can storage chips rise?】
AI storage demand is projected through 2030–2031, yet chip stocks can still plunge one day and rebound the next; market sentiment is truly hard to please. On October 23, Micron $MU rebounded about 3.5%, SK Hynix $SKHY closed up 4.4% in South Korea, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged about 6.7% the previous day.
Western Digital $WDC reported revenue up 55% year-over-year to $4.38 billion, with adjusted earnings per share of $4.64. The demand visibility from its seven major customers has already extended to 2030–2031. AI not only requires computing power, but the data generated from training and inference also needs long-term storage, with demand spreading to hard drives, SSDs, and other segments.
What’s most worth pondering is that between strong demand and rising stock prices lie valuation, capital expenditure, and future supply. Despite Western Digital’s better-than-expected results, its stock price still fell; SK Hynix’s suspension of Solidigm’s IPO evaluation also indicates that financing conditions and shareholder returns must be carefully considered.
This round of storage market rally has earnings as a foundation, but short-term funds clearly have no intention of blindly chasing highs. Going forward, focus on whether profit margins can continue to improve, whether long-term orders can convert into favorable contract prices, and whether capacity expansion will dilute profits. As long as earnings delivery keeps pace, pullbacks have fundamental support; if demand is strong but profits no longer exceed expectations, the AI narrative alone cannot sustain high valuations. Banks have agreed: AI can view accounts but cannot move money
This week, major US banks collectively drew the line: JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, and Charles Schwab all confirmed that third-party AI Agents can only read balances but are not allowed to log in or make transfers. Dimon directly used the term "out-of-control agent," and Schwab said they intercept unauthorized agent access in double digits every week. The trigger was that some agents were found attempting actions beyond user instructions. What banks really fear is liability: if an agent transfers money incorrectly, who is responsible? The other side of this issue is that AI managing your money is already happening, and rules are being forced into place. The authorization and limit mode of on-chain wallets might actually be the answer that was thought through earlier. #美国多家银行限制AIAgent访问客户账户 $BTC The data is good data, yet the stock price still took a hit
This Moderna situation is quite surreal: the personalized melanoma vaccine phase 3 data in collaboration with Merck showed a 42% reduction in risk of recurrence or death, marking the first positive phase 3 result for mRNA cancer therapy, which should be a milestone. However, the data was leaked first on a tumor website, forcing ESMO to confirm the leak and release the data early. On Thursday, the stock price dropped over 25% intraday and closed down 17.6%. The issue isn't the data but the expectations: this stock has risen five to six times this year, and the market used the phase 2 result of 49% as a benchmark, so 42% was seen as "below expectations." Today at the Madrid ESMO conference, the full data set was officially released, and we will see how the market calms down and reprices — between the milestone and the stock price lies something called expectations. #Moderna股价大跌，癌症疫苗数据被提前披露 $MRNA $BTC 1.1 billion inflow in three days, 635 million outflow in one day, the face of the ETF changes suddenly

Interestingly, the price: BTC fluctuated around 81,000 on Thursday, with a low of about 81,000, and about 80,900 this morning. Such a large sell-off without breaking through indicates there are buyers below, it's just a question of whether they are willing to chase. Before next Tuesday's FOMC, funds will most likely continue this pattern of inflow and outflow day by day. My positions at 81,500 and 80,800 are grinding in the cost zone; as long as 80,000 is not broken, the stance remains unchanged. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ $BTC Last night the White House announced: with Melania's mediation, Russia and Ukraine agreed to a partial ceasefire in Oleshky starting October 29, allowing humanitarian aid in and civilian evacuation, limited to one city.
What does this mean? The ceasefire is a pause button, not a delete button; a full ceasefire is still far off; negotiation channels remain open, extreme risks are cooling down; but the three major mainstream cryptocurrencies continue to fall—the pressure on the market is not geopolitical but due to deleveraging ahead of the FOMC announcement.
From what I see in the market: total open interest across the network dropped 1.62% in one day to 140.8 billion; the three coins' open interest fell 1.23%, 1.51%, and 1.11% respectively over 24 hours; BTC holds at 80,926, ETH at 2,382, SOL at 102.55. Prices fall and positions reduce, with exits stacking liquidations and deleveraging, like the tide pulling away people and chairs together 🌊. In 24 hours, 470 million long positions were liquidated, accounting for 67.6%; in the 4-hour window, 196 million with 90% longs. On the 1-hour scale, open interest has reversed, increasing by 0.18%, 0.42%, and 0.45%; whether this is the end or a pause is too early to conclude.
My stance is clear:
① Don't chase shorts at 80,800; longs have liquidated for two days straight, chasing shorts here is taking the last baton;
② Don't bottom-fish longs; open interest is still dropping, ETFs have seen nearly 7,900 units outflow in two days, bottom-fishing is catching a flying knife;
③ Before the event settles, I will just watch 👀; the ceasefire takes effect on the 29th, FOMC announcement is next week, leave trades for those who understand the timing.
Whether the gunfire truly stops or not, whether the rate decision is stable or not, I'll be sitting on the sidelines watching. If you don't understand, not acting is the best action.Last night $CL rose nearly four points, Brent crude hit a seven-month high; gold fell below 4,000, dropping more than four points in a week. $BTC hovered above 80,000, $ETH lost 2,400 again. Three things, three reactions, but actually talking about the same matter.
Oil rising reflects inflation expectations, gold falling reflects real interest rates—the yield is still above 5%, holding non-yielding assets has too high an opportunity cost. And BTC holding firm is precisely because the 10-year yield has fallen slightly from its high, giving it some breathing room.
So the current pricing logic is very clear: BTC neither benefits from safe-haven demand nor inflation hedging; it feeds on liquidity. Gold and oil price "inflation," while BTC prices "more or less money."
The funding side is also hedged on both ends: ETFs still had net outflows last week, institutions are withdrawing; but the number of whale addresses hit a record, big players are adding. ETH is weaker, ETF outflows are even more concentrated than BTC, after losing 2,400, 2,350 is the next support.
Downward, 80,000 is the critical point; breaking it means 78,000; upward, 83,000 remains the wall that has been tested several times.
#中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 After a 6.7% plunge, a rebound the next day—what drama is the storage stock playing?
On Thursday, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 6.7%, Micron dropped 6.3%, SanDisk fell 8.5%, with widespread calls that the AI bubble is about to burst; on Friday, Micron closed up 2.5%, and SK Hynix rose over 6% pre-market. The fundamentals didn’t change in a day: Western Digital’s revenue rose 55% year-over-year, exceeding expectations; Jensen Huang said no memory oversupply is expected before 2029; Citibank said tight supply could last until 2028. The only thing that changed was positioning—after big gains, investors run at the first sign of trouble. SK Hynix reports earnings next Tuesday, SanDisk next Thursday; that’s when we can draw conclusions about the "repeated fluctuations." Until then, the ups and downs are just emotions trampling each other. #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 $MU $BTC First, consider the worst-case scenario: GRAM has a negative funding rate that continues to widen, while the price keeps falling. Although shorts have to pay longs, this does not mean the market will immediately reverse; rather, it could indicate increasing market crowding, volatility, and liquidation risk.
In this data, the Hyperliquid perpetual contract shows that GRAM's current funding rate is -0.0075% per hour, annualized at about -66%, and -5.97% over the past 24 hours; XMR is at -0.0055% per hour, annualized about -48%, and -4.85% over 24 hours. A negative funding rate means shorts pay longs.
My judgment is: this looks more like a risk signal and should not be simply taken as bullish. ⚠️ First, when the negative funding rate persists, the holding cost will squeeze shorts, but if the price does not hold, it may continue to weaken; second, the high annualized figures are eye-catching but are just a linear extrapolation of the current rate and do not guarantee stable returns; third, if small-cap liquidity and order book depth are insufficient, sharp volatility will amplify slippage and liquidation losses.
When ordinary people see such extreme funding rates, first verify the funding settlement cycle, position leverage, and worst-case loss amount. Don't ignore price risk just to earn funding fees. When you trade, how much stop loss do you usually set per trade?UniSat is integrating with Utexo this time, with specific timing and subsequent plans provided.
On October 25, it is expected to first support the Bitcoin Signet testnet, allowing users to participate in testing USDT minting and redemption using the UniSat wallet. Utexo plans to launch the mainnet on November 28. UniSat will first integrate the wallet, then bring USDT trading into UniHexa.
The most direct impact on retail investors is that in the future, using USDT within the Bitcoin ecosystem may no longer require detours through other chains and exchanges.
The benefits for UniHexa are even more obvious. Currently, Bitcoin assets are mostly priced around BTC, which is not intuitive, and it is difficult to convert back to stablecoins during market fluctuations. With USDT, if trading pairs and liquidity follow, market makers will find it easier to quote prices, and retail investors will find buying and selling BRC-20, Runes, and other assets much more convenient.
Utexo needs wallets and trading access, which UniSat already has. UniSat can also leverage USDT to connect the wallet, exchange, and UniHexa, giving users more reasons to stay within its own products.
We will see if the October 25 test can launch on time, and then observe the recharge, redemption, and order book depth after the mainnet launch on November 28.
The introduction of USDT is positive, but the real determining factor is whether there is capital willing to stay and trade.
#UniSat #unihexa #Utexo #Bitcoin $ETH's most classic deflationary narrative is being harshly contradicted by reality!
In the past, when talking about Ethereum, many people liked to highlight the burn mechanism.
The more active the transactions, the more burns occur, giving $ETH a chance to decrease in supply. Coupled with the staking mechanism, it sounds like a story of an increasingly scarce asset.
But the reality is: in the past 30 days, Ethereum has only burned about 2.7% of the newly issued $ETH during the same period.
In other words, the burns have not offset the new issuance at all.
Currently, the annual growth rate of $ETH supply is about 0.86%, while Bitcoin's is about 0.82%. Their issuance mechanisms are completely different, and this number cannot simply be equated to which is more valuable, but at least it shows one thing:
Stop treating $ETH as an inherently deflationary asset!
Ethereum's $ETH burn mechanism has not disappeared, but its actual effect depends on network activity and fee levels. If network demand is not strong enough, the burn naturally cannot support the deflationary narrative.
What’s more awkward is that when the market starts discussing continuous ETF outflows and upgrade delays, the scarcity story of $ETH also fails to provide an indisputable positive.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
HBM4 can boost profitability, but Q3 is just the starting point, not the main realization window. The main driver of Q3 profits remains the price increase of traditional DRAM/NAND; HBM4 began mass production in Q2, and its revenue proportion will gradually rise in the second half of the year, with a more obvious pull on ASP and profit margin in Q4. Citi expects Q3 operating profit to be 81.3 trillion KRW, about 8% above market consensus, while conservative institutions have lowered it to around 75 trillion due to the depreciation of the Korean won. The key points of the earnings report are: whether traditional storage price increases can maintain profit margins despite exchange headwinds, and whether HBM4 yield ramp-up and competition from Samsung and Micron will suppress pricing. If Citi's forecast is realized, it will validate the resilience of the upcycle; if it falls within the conservative range, market focus will quickly shift to the Q4 HBM4 volume ramp slope.$BTC Folks, did you catch the short positions on Bitcoin?!
Yesterday's movement followed the analysis from the day before perfectly, dropping to 81,000 then rising near 82,000 to lure buyers. This morning it broke below 80,500, down to 80,461. Between 6 and 7 AM, there was a sharp drop that triggered over 8,000 long positions. Congrats to those who followed along and profited, which shows that when the overall direction is right, you definitely can make gains.
So, what’s the outlook for Bitcoin next?
After breaking below 80,500, Bitcoin found support and rebounded around 80,461, currently back above 80,900. It didn’t continue to fall at the low point; instead, capital came in to support, indicating strong support around 80,000. However, there is significant resistance between 81,300 and 81,500. Without substantial buying pressure, it’s likely to oscillate and consolidate within this range.
Next week’s Federal Reserve meeting is critical. Although the market expects no rate hike this time, if the post-meeting statements are hawkish and hint at hikes by year-end, that would be negative for risk assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, tensions in the Middle East have pushed oil prices up, increasing inflation pressure and making the Fed more cautious. Plus, recent slight outflows from ETFs suggest some institutions are being cautious in the short term.
Overall, Bitcoin is consolidating and building a base in the short term, waiting for clearer direction. The recommendation is to watch and hold the 80,000 support line, and consider entering only after breaking above 81,500 for a safer move.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
$SKHYNIX suffers a "double kill" spike, are retail investors still catching flying knives? It's not just a single negative factor: Meta's earnings report sparks doubts about AI returns, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunges 6.7%, Hynix ADRs plunge 8%, foreign investors net sell over 550 billion KRW in a single day; combined with the withdrawal of Solidigm's US IPO, all positive news is exhausted. The market is even messier: a whale lost $4.7 million in a single trade, longs are liquidated, funding rates turn negative, and liquidation stampede occurs at 940-950. Is this a golden pit or a bottomless hole? Don't let the hands catching flying knives end up catching their own liquidation orders.ETF net outflow of 635 million in one day, but none of the three "institutional favorites" crashed.
The outflow is redemption, not a dump. These two things are very different.
$XRP 1.30, 24h -1.1%, market cap 82.2 billion, OI 2.77 billion down 2.5% in one day. Altcoin spot ETFs are still seeing net inflows, institutions haven't left.
$SOL 103, Alpenglow mainnet just launched on 10/22, positive news landed but still fell, a textbook case of selling the expectation. 100 is the watershed.
$OKB 110.2, market cap 2.31 billion, 7-day -4.9%, 30-day -6.3%, still 51.5% below ATH 228.74. The 21 million max supply plus buyback and burn is its floor, resistant to drops but don't expect it to lead the rally.
Institutions redeem shares, not faith. The moment you panic is when unrealized losses truly turn into realized losses. I can understand $ETH falling, but why is Solana's ecosystem growing so fast while $SOL's price is playing dead?
I can understand the outflow from ETH's ETF because the staking yield is only 2.6%, but US Treasuries are already at 5.1%, so institutions definitely prefer the risk-free US Treasuries. That's where this month's 1.18 billion outflow comes from.
So ETH's RSI at 35.2 is very low, the rebound can't even reclaim MA7 (2417), which is 4% below MA20 (2481), and the 30-day range position is 14.5%. There's strong resistance above, and 2352 is today's support line below.
But look at Solana's ecosystem: since early September, the network's new wallet count has increased by 124%, daily active wallet peak reached 4.27 million, Q3 application revenue was 365 million USD, a 42.6% quarter-on-quarter increase, leading public chains for ten consecutive quarters.
Yet SOL's RSI at 35.7 is close to ETH's low, the price is only 2% above the 30-day low of 100.42, and all three moving averages (MA7 104.7, MA20 108.2, MA30 112.1) are overhead.
It really has to be $BTC. Although BTC's three moving averages (MA7 82,100, MA20 82,600, MA30 83,200) are pressing down, RSI is 42.7, the 30-day range position is 15.7%, which is much better, and there's strong support at the 80,000 level below.The leading effect in the DEX market is becoming increasingly obvious, with $UNI still firmly holding the top position.
In the past 7 days, Uniswap's trading volume reached $17.2 billion, with a market share of about 44.7%, ranking first.
PancakeSwap $CAKE closely follows, with a trading volume of about $11.7 billion, accounting for 30.4%.
Together, these two platforms account for about 75% of DEX trading volume, leaving all other platforms to compete for roughly a quarter of the market.
This also shows that in the DEX sector, having more projects does not mean opportunities are more dispersed. Platforms with real liquidity and user bases still dominate the vast majority of the market.
But what really puzzles people is why CAKE isn't rising? Its price increase is not only less than UNI's but also less than AERO and RAY. It can only be said that the BSC-based clones never intended for retail investors to make money. 【NEAR Falls Below $4.6, Is the Trading Range About to Break?】
$NEAR's trend is a bit rough. A few days ago, it was fluctuating above $5, but now it has dropped back to around $4.64, with the short-term lows being repeatedly tested. It looks like a consolidation range, but the buying power inside is weakening.
From the 1-hour chart, NEAR has fallen below the MA7, MA25, and MA99, showing clear short-term weakness. The $4.60–$4.65 range is the current key area; on October 23, the price once dipped to around $4.59. If it can quickly recover to $4.65–$4.70, there’s still a chance to return to the range; if it stays below $4.60 and the rebound fails to hold, be cautious of the consolidation range moving lower, with the next support around $4.50–$4.55.
Another detail worth noting: during NEAR’s previous decline, there were long liquidations in the futures market. If the price drops and open interest decreases simultaneously, it may indicate leveraged longs exiting; if the price continues to fall but open interest rises, watch out for new short positions entering.
Right now, the most important thing is not to rush to guess the bottom but to see if $4.60 can hold. Only a recovery above $4.70 justifies discussing a false breakdown; continuous failure to hold $4.60 means preparing for a range breakdown. The old idea of buying at support calls for more caution now—first, see if the market can show real support.ETH held above 2350 over the weekend, showing more of a bullish digestion rather than a crash.
Current price is about 2383, down approximately 1.3% in 24h, with the low at 2352 being supported. ETF: After an outflow of about 110 million on 10/22, there was a net inflow of about 4.4 million on 10/23 (Farside). October still shows a net outflow but with daily stop-loss. Staking is even more interesting — about 1.36 million ETH queued for entry (about 24 days), with exits almost cleared out. Total network staking is about 43.77 million tokens, with chips continuing to be locked.
Before the Fed on 10/28, do you expect it to first rebound to 2400, or continue to range between 2350–2400? Feel free to share your thoughts.

Just personal observation, not investment advice. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $ETH $BTC Smart Money Position Snapshot: Both Bulls and Bears Are Losing, Range Tug-of-War Continues ⚔️
$BTC current price is about 81816, Smart Money nominal long-short ratio is 49.62%, with 1044 longs and 1044 shorts, an even split in numbers, but positions are clearly asymmetric 📉.
Longs: holding 1.11B USDT, average price 85510.18, unrealized loss of 50.2748 million USD, only 38.98% of accounts are profitable;
Shorts: holding 2.24B USDT, average price 76250.03, unrealized loss of 152.69 million USD, 39.94% of accounts are profitable.
The price is exactly squeezed between the two cost levels: the upper long cost is relatively high, the lower short cost is relatively low, the market sweeps up and down, forming a typical "long-short double kill" 🧨. Both sides have less than 40% profitable accounts, indicating most Smart Money accounts are also suffering losses and trapped.
In the short term, the probability of range-bound oscillation remains high, and a one-sided breakout is not yet confirmed. Don't rush to chase highs or sell lows; wait for the price to effectively leave one side's cost zone before judging the direction more reliably 👀.
For market reference only, does not constitute any trading advice ⚠️ #MetaQ3营收超预期，巨额AI投入引发担忧 #存储芯片股再度下跌，AI投资回报担忧加剧 SpaceX's Q3 data is very strong: revenue of $14.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 161%; net profit of $4.4 billion, compared to a loss of $1.1 billion in the same period last year; adjusted EBITDA of $8.8 billion. The company stated that growth comes from the connectivity business and Super Intelligence-related business, and the quarter also expanded computing power scale to 1.7GW. Meanwhile, Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have established independent special committees to discuss a potential merger. Note the keywords are "discuss" and "special committee," not that an agreement has been signed, nor have share exchange ratios, valuations, transaction timing, or regulatory paths been announced. The most important question is not whether SpaceX is valuable, but who gets what after the merger. SpaceX's revenue structure, AI infrastructure, Starlink cash flow, and Tesla's automotive and energy storage businesses have different risks and valuation methods. If high-valuation assets are exchanged for low-valuation assets, shareholders will face dilution; if the share exchange ratio favors one side, the other side's shareholders will question fairness; if corporate governance remains highly concentrated, whether the special committee can represent minority shareholders' interests will also become a focus. My judgment: SpaceX's financial report provides a stronger fundamental narrative for the "merger story," but the story has not yet been turned into tradable terms. The next truly informative documents should be committee announcements, valuation methods, share exchange ratios, voting thresholds, and regulatory disclosures. Before these conditions appear, further stock price increases are more about trading expectations rather than a completed transaction Don't rush to interpret the decline as a trend reversal. BTC around 82k seems more like a macro expectation repricing rather than a simple weakening. If the FOMC hasn't met yet but the market has already dropped, what exactly is being priced in advance this time? This morning, BTC dropped 2.57% to 81,327, ETH fell 2.52% to 2,392, and SOL declined 2.16% to 104, with the three major cryptos pulling back simultaneously. The first reaction is easily panic. But looking closely at the rhythm, this looks more like an event repricing—not a start, nor a distribution, but the first half of a divergence phase. The market is preemptively digesting the uncertainties of the October FOMC. The narrative of the Fed pausing hasn't disappeared; it’s just been overshadowed by short-term uncertainties. What’s truly worth pondering are the signals from the tech side. Meta’s Q3 revenue exceeded expectations, but the market is focused on its massive AI investments; storage chip stocks continue to weaken, fueling doubts about the AI return cycle. This line of thought transmits directly to crypto: risk appetite contracts first, high-beta assets are sold off first, and BTC, as a relatively stable asset, actually hasn’t fallen the most. The resilience of altcoins is a double-edged sword at this moment. The bullish path is that if the FOMC delivers a dovish tone, suppressed expectations will quickly recover. ETH and SOL, which have already priced in downside, are more likely to see a sentiment rebound, while BTC may stabilize first and provide direction. The bearish risk is that if concerns about AI capital expenditure continue to ferment, the correlation between tech stocks and crypto will be amplified, leading to a contraction in risk budgets.The storage chips on today's leaderboard have declined, and the core contradiction is not that "AI demand suddenly disappeared," but that the market is starting to ask: how long will it take for the capital expenditure poured into data centers to turn into sufficiently high cash returns? Micron delivered record fiscal year results last quarter and provided a stronger outlook for the next fiscal year; however, this did not make the sector rise forever. The pricing of storage stocks is simultaneously influenced by three factors: DRAM and NAND prices, the actual shipments of AI servers, and how much valuation the market is willing to assign to this growth. When investors worry about the progress of domestic Chinese storage technology, potential slowdowns in AI infrastructure spending, or that the storage cycle is nearing its peak, stock prices will first trade on "future supply increases and demand slowdowns," even if current orders remain strong. Companies like SanDisk, which have higher exposure to NAND, will also be re-evaluated within the framework of "whether AI data center investments can be sustained." This is why "good performance" does not necessarily equal "stock price increase." If price hikes and orders are already priced in, earnings reports can only confirm the past; only if shipment volumes continue to be revised upward, customer order visibility improves, and gross margins are not suppressed by new capacity will the market move the trend from thematic trading to profit-driven trading. My judgment: it is not that the AI storage logic has been falsified, but that we have moved from "rising prices as long as there is demand" to a stage where "demand quality and capital returns must be validated." The focus going forward is on three things: how long storage prices can continue to rise, whether AI server orders will be fulfilled, and whether suppliers will release excess capital expenditure expectations prematurely. Do you think this correction is AI storage On October 23, Brent crude oil once approached $115.10 per barrel, and WTI rose to around $101.40. On the surface, it looks like oil prices are rising, but underlying the trade is the re-entry of Middle East supply and transportation risks into the price. This is not simply a matter of improved demand. The market is concerned about shipping disruptions, rising insurance and transportation costs, sanction changes, and how any sudden event will amplify price volatility when inventory buffers are insufficient. The closer crude oil gets to its highs, the more the market will price "short-term spikes" separately from "sustained supply contraction." For asset markets, the key transmission chain is: rising oil prices → increased inflation expectations → delayed rate cut expectations → stronger US Treasury yields and US dollar → pressure on high-valuation, cash-flow-negative assets. BTC is sometimes seen as an inflation hedge, but during liquidity tightening phases, it more often behaves as a risk asset first; gold depends on whether real interest rates rise simultaneously. My judgment is: in the short term, you cannot just look at the direction of oil prices. If transportation risks continue to expand, the market will first trade inflation and interest rates; if supply recovers and oil prices fall back, previously suppressed risk assets may then repair. What really needs to be observed is whether rising oil prices can sustainably transmit to inflation expectations and whether US Treasury yields will follow through with a breakout. Next, watch three things: whether Brent can stabilize at high levels, whether Hormuz-related transportation continues to be disrupted, and how the 10-year US Treasury yield reacts. As oil prices continue to surge, do you think gold will benefit first, or will BTC be pressured first? #MiddleEastCrudeSupplyRiskRisesAgain,OilPricesContinueToStrengthen #ETF single-day outflow exceeds $600 million, can BTC price stabilize?
$ETH marginal variables suppressing the rebound: capital conditions and on-chain selling pressure worsen simultaneously
First, ETF outflows show no signs of easing. Ethereum spot ETFs had a total net outflow of $93.59 million yesterday (October 23), marking the third consecutive day of outflows; among them, BlackRock's ETHA had a single-day net outflow of $101 million, being the main driver of outflows. Since October, the cumulative net outflow has risen to about $1.18 billion, with no signs of capital reversal.
Second, on-chain selling pressure signals appear simultaneously. An institution investing in both Aave and Worldcoin transferred 6,000 ETH (approximately $14.4 million) to multiple centralized exchanges today, a clear potential precursor to selling. Earlier on-chain data shows a large whale sold a total of 45,000 ETH in the past week, valued at about $92.15 million, indicating sustained selling behavior rather than a one-time event.
Third, upgrade expectations fall short in the short term. The Glamsterdam upgrade has been delayed due to potential security risks of EIP-8037; activation of the Hoodi testnet has been postponed, and the originally scheduled date of October 26 has been canceled, with a replacement date yet to be announced. The market's prior expectation of increased short-term volatility from this event has at least been temporarily shelved at the testnet level.$UNI
Uniswap illustrates why decentralized exchange activity deserves more attention than token price alone. Trading volume, liquidity depth, fee generation, and competition from alternative venues all help explain the protocol’s economic position. Yet a successful exchange does not automatically guarantee equivalent value accrual to UNI holders. Governance decisions and the relationship between protocol revenue and token utility remain important questions.Meta's Q3 earnings report is most easily misinterpreted by two figures: revenue grew 26% year-over-year, and net profit surged 264% year-over-year. But when you break down the income statement, the story isn't that simple. The company reported Q3 revenue of $64.601 billion, operating profit of $12.988 billion, down 37% year-over-year, with operating margin dropping from 40% to 20%. Net profit was $9.86 billion, up 264% year-over-year. The profit surge was mainly due to a significant drop in tax rate, while the company also recognized about $9.89 billion in settlement costs related to a youth mental health lawsuit. Cash flow tells more about the pressure. Q3 operating cash flow was $32.79 billion, but free cash flow was negative $2.12 billion; capital expenditures including finance lease principal reached $34.91 billion. Meta expects full-year capital expenditures of $135–145 billion, with Q4 revenue guidance of $73–76 billion. My judgment is: Meta's core advertising business remains strong, with ad impressions up 10% and price per ad up 14%, and AI recommendations are indeed helping it make money. But the market worries about another issue—the infrastructure investment has already turned into cash flow pressure, and returns will have to be realized over the coming years. Going forward, only three things matter: whether Q4 ad growth can continue, whether capital expenditures will keep rising, and whether new revenue from AI can outpace depreciation and computing costs. If revenue keeps rising but free cash flow remains negative, the market will start to reprice the "AI investment." What do you think—does Meta now look more like it's buying in early?$ETH Market on October 24

Trend reversal reference 2493–2513 Bollinger Band middle line (2493) + dense upper short liquidation zone (about $605 million above 2513)
2417 is the first real intraday threshold for bulls and bears: only above it can testing 2448–2461 be qualified; otherwise, any intraday rebound can only be defined as a weak pullback.

📉 Lower Support
Immediate support 2360–2376 Bollinger lower band (2362) + recent low zone, the first line of defense intraday
Key structural support 2313–2337 previous low area; a daily close below confirms downward structure extending deeper
Dense liquidation risk zone below 2286; if breaking below 2286, mainstream CEX cumulative long liquidation intensity will reach $676 million, forming downward liquidity gravity
The 2360–2376 area is the most direct battleground intraday. Coinbase spot buy orders exceed sell orders by about $3.48 million near-term, showing some willingness to support this area, but the buy-side thickness is still insufficient to reverse the overall selling pressure background. $TSLA
Free cash flow turned positive, so why can't we directly say growth is accelerating?
Tesla's free cash flow in Q3 was $1.531 billion, compared to negative $1.092 billion in Q2, but $3.99 billion in the same period last year. Both quarter-on-quarter improvement and year-on-year decline can coexist; different comparison baselines lead to different conclusions.
Positive cash flow improvement eases short-term funding constraints, but valuation needs to assess whether the improvement comes from sustainable operating capability or changes in capital expenditure and working capital timing. A single quarter turning positive does not automatically mean future investment pressure disappears.
If subsequent operating cash flow is maintained, necessary investments are fulfilled, and revenue growth improves, the quality is more credible; if cash improvement relies on postponed investments, long-term growth expectations need to be more cautious.
