$ZEC
Two giant whales dumped nearly 30,000 long positions on Hyperliquid within 15 hours, causing the coin price to drop directly from 1368 back to 1286, as if no one noticed them.
Yesterday's quick news: Two whales opened nearly 30,000 ZEC long positions on Hyperliquid within 15 hours. I checked on OKX, current price 1286, up 2.2% in 24h, but it peaked at 1368 and then dropped 6%, with a low of 1252.
What's abnormal is that despite more than 30,000 real long positions entering, the price didn't rise but fell back from the high. The perpetual funding rate is only 0.01%, long positions are almost zero cost, with an open interest of 12.25 million contracts. The big player is adding positions on the exchange, but the market acts like no one sees it.
Previously, whales entering would lead a wave of momentum, now it seems the whales themselves have become the chips being lifted.
For those trading ZEC contracts: these 30,000+ long positions, are you following, going against, or just waiting to pick up the scraps after they get liquidated?
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 $SOL
The largest network upgrade in Solana's history officially went live yesterday, claiming a 150-millisecond finality. So what happened? The coin price immediately dropped back to 105 without rising.
The Alpenglow upgrade was implemented yesterday, aiming to reduce finality time to 150 milliseconds. This is the most significant technical change for SOL in recent years. Actual test on OKX shows the current price at 105.33, down 0.5% in 24h, with a low of 105.02 and a high of 109.22 — the intraday gains on the upgrade day were completely given back.
The contradiction is this: technically, it's a historic positive, but the market completely rejects it. The perpetual funding rate is only 0.001%, and longs are not even willing to pay to open positions. Open interest at 2.94 million contracts shows no obvious expansion. A typical case of a positive event going silent upon arrival.
An old script: after the hype, the actual event gets sold off, but this time they didn't even bother to pump it up.
For the contract traders: with such a certain positive upgrade landing, are you the "sell the fact" type continuing to short, or do you think that with SOL's funding rate near zero and no leverage on longs, the risk of a stampede is actually low?
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 $BTC 24小时下跌1.51%，但涨幅榜却被一批小市值DeFi板块霸占——这不是牛市的轮动，而是存量资金在缩量市场里的最后一站。真正值得盯的不是谁涨了，而是钱从哪来：$USDT 市值同期缩水0.14%，场外没有新资金进场，大盘又在走弱，这些百分比只能来自大币种的内部搬家。 看结构更清楚。治理板块上涨26.5%，收益聚合器涨17.5%，再加上代币化资产抵押类代币，几条线都指向链上收益与治理投票权。这不是叙事扩散，是资金在同一批“有现金流故事”的小盘里做短线接力。治理板块总市值仅2.7亿美元，名人概念板块1.6亿美元，盘子小到只需一笔中等规模的调仓就能拉出两位数涨幅——涨幅的绝对值远没有看起来那么有分量。 情绪面也没有配合。恐惧贪婪指数63，一周前是62，基本原地踏步，说明这波拉升既没带来新增入场，也没改变市场基调。换句话说，涨的是价格，不是共识。这种结构最脆弱的地方在于：它依赖大币种持续失血来供血，一旦$BTC 止跌企稳，小盘的资金来源就会立刻反向。 判断轮动是否结束，盯两个信号就够了。第一，$USDT 市值继续收缩，意味着场内流动性还在被抽走；第二，恐惧贪婪指数跌破62，说明情绪开始$DOT
A wallet plugin secretly leaked private keys, hiding it for a full 20 months before being caught, with 8 people losing a total of 17,286 DOT. Guess how the coin price moved? It only dropped 3%.
Confirmed by the Polkadot community foundation itself: The Fearless Wallet browser plugin leaked private keys for nearly 20 months, with eight reports of a total of 17,286 DOT being unauthorizedly transferred. Tested OKX current price is 1.1247, down 3.26% in 24h, lowest 1.1213, basically just brushing the floor.
Logically, a security incident lasting 20 months should be a major bearish factor, but the market reacted like this. Even more interesting is the perpetual funding rate, now -0.0208%, shorts are paying longs — those dumping the price are even more eager to enter than those running away.
The stolen are not panicking, but the shorts are paying first; I find this market sentiment a bit hard to understand.
For those trading contracts: For coins where "bad news can't push the price down," do you dare to bottom-fish betting the bad news is fully priced in, or do you think the negative funding rate means someone is prescient and there are more shocks ahead?
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Finally got a bit of my old blood back. Last night I almost thought it was going to zero.
Checked the market at 12:46 noon, finally able to catch a breath.
Got rubbed down on the ground by the dog whales all night, finally seeing some red.
Look at this latest recovery scene.
AAVE was the most reliable, the short position stubbornly held up to +39%, basically saved my life.
UNI and NEAR are still in the red, but compared to last night's despair, the losses have shrunk to just over ten percent, a small blessing in misfortune.
The most headache-inducing 100x BTC short position pulled back from -200+ to -100+, looks less suffocating now.
Why did it come back?
BTC surged to 84,000 but then lost momentum, the selling pressure above was too heavy, funds simply couldn't hold it.
No volume to push it up forcibly, it had to fall eventually, and altcoins naturally followed with a catch-down drop.
Having learned the painful lesson from yesterday, my hands are still shaking.
This time I won't be greedy.
I'm planning to take profits on AAVE first.
Looking for opportunities to reduce positions and leverage on BTC and NEAR to control risk.
First stabilize this loss recovery, no reckless moves.
Brothers who got liquidated last night, have you recovered today or already cut losses and left? 👇

#ETF买盘持续回流，BTC为何仍未走强？ #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 先看现状。现在超过四成大市值山寨的杠杆率快顶到年内最高了，中市值的杠杆也创了新高。10月15号刚爆掉差不多8.5亿美元，转头又有一堆人借钱冲进去做多。价格根本不是现货真金白银托住的，全是杠杆借来的钱架在那儿。小币订单簿薄得像纸，做市商一撤，连环爆仓说发生就发生，这就是当下的真实情况。$BTC $ETH $SNDK 10月29号美联储决议，11月3号中期选举，中间就隔六天，大饼的横盘随时会被打破。机构最怕不确定性，资金全往BTC、ETH里缩，山寨一周跌了5.69%，BTC才跌1.99%，资金往哪儿跑一目了然。 ETF的数据更说明问题。BTC近30天净流入大概20.9亿美元，ETH净流出3.19亿美元，SOL净流出3320万美元。最大的机构贝莱德旗下ETF只买大饼和以太，山寨币根本等不到大盘涨完溢出来的那点钱。 最恶心的就是各种VC的解锁抛压。最近ZRO一笔就解锁了4330万美元，ALLO 11月解锁量占到流通盘的64%，HUMA团队和投资人的份额也在集中释放。现货买盘本来就薄，价格百分百承压，怎么还有那么多人往上撞。 未来能活下来的只有这三种。 第一类，得有真实现金流。不是光项目有收入Midday: $BTC 82.9k grinding near the low, the bulls are running out of steam
Conclusion first: this morning's move isn't stable. $BTC at 82,909, 24-hour high 84,899, low 82,642, amplitude 2.6%, currently right at the low boundary. $ETH 2,445 (-0.05%), $SOL 105.46 (-0.40%), none of the brothers want to be the first to step forward.
Worth a closer look at the futures side: BTC funding rate +0.0051%, hasn't turned negative—bulls are still paying interest to hold on, not giving up yet. OI 29,885 BTC (2.48 billion U), positions neither increased nor fled. This "fell but not giving up" combination likely means continued grinding this afternoon: no V-shaped rebound, no fuel for a sharp drop.
What to watch this afternoon, in one sentence—whether the 24-hour low of 82,642 holds. If it holds, the afternoon will grind in the 82.6k–84k range; if broken, look directly at around 81,000, a sharp drop might be worth a glance.
Falsification written upfront: if $BTC closes above 84,000 today, my "weak grinding bottom" judgment is void, and I'll admit it first thing tomorrow morning.
At this position, are you reducing your holdings or waiting for a rebound? Let's discuss in the comments. $BTC ⚠️Why did BTC plunge?
1. Technical aspect: After surging above 84000, a strong supply zone formed. Multiple tests failed, and a CHOCH structure appeared on the 15-minute chart, causing bulls to fail and triggering a cascade of leveraged long liquidations. The selling pressure self-reinforced, driving BTC down rapidly.
2. Macro sentiment: U.S. Treasury yields remain strong, rate cut expectations cooled, high-volatility risky asset valuations under pressure, and funds actively reduced risk exposure.
3. Market transmission: BTC is the market anchor; after its breakdown, altcoins like ETH and ZEC followed with a stampede. ETF fund outflows further weakened buying support.
4. Capital structure: Much of this rally was driven by leveraged funds without solid spot buying support. Once the trend reverses, liquidations will accelerate the decline.
In short: stagnation at high levels + bearish macro environment + concentrated leveraged liquidations caused the synchronized drop. Sister 24 directly liquidated all long positions in $BTC and $ETH in the early session, precisely escaping the top with a million-level position. Big money trading really has some skills!
Currently, only a small trial position is left, and all mainstream positions have been taken profit and secured:
$CRCL: Long position with 5x leverage, opening average price at 86.86, current price 86.82, floating loss 86U, margin 31,000U
Interpretation:
Looking at her trading record, she closed all 20x BTC and 10x ETH contracts in the early session, cashing out precisely at the top, holding spot positions waiting for a pullback.
She has fully exited now, indicating she believes the short-term rebound has peaked and is waiting for a pullback. It is recommended to avoid risks first and not chase the highs!
Keeping the CRCL position is purely a light bet on the recovery of the US stock payment sector. Don’t blindly follow just because of liquidation; she has strong margin backing and only lightly follows. Don’t recklessly go all-in on high leverage bets. The main point is to learn from the big players’ thinking!
Just a personal opinion, trading is ultimately self-reliance!
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ On the 19th, Ajian mentioned that from this week until the FOMC on the 27th, there are no new major macro factors, so prices usually fluctuate within existing information, making it the most likely vacuum period for false breakouts. Meanwhile, the escalation of geopolitical risks and crude oil $BZ once again rising near $110 have increased inflationary pressure. Therefore, even though the US spot BTC ETF net inflow yesterday reached as high as $528.41 million, $BTC still quickly retreated after approaching $85,000. Currently, Ajian's judgment remains unchanged, still recommending minimizing operations before the FOMC, while keeping an eye on major central banks' policy decisions #ETF买盘持续回流，BTC为何仍未走强？ BTC and ETH, this "loving couple," are each doing their own thing
The implied volatility of options has dropped to a five-year low of 33.5%, skewness has collapsed nearly 3 points in a week, but traders are holding long positions while quietly buying put options at 78,000 and 80,000 dollars, single trades worth 204 million dollars. In plain language: saying no with their mouth, but buying insurance with their body. Even more cunning is that the funding rate has turned negative, and the fear and greed index is still in the "greedy" zone—leverage is retreating, sentiment is holding strong, a typical case of "talking bullish with the mouth" for $BTC
ETH's "staking and running race" sees the staking rate hit a historical high of 36.13%, which sounds solid; but on October 7, exchanges saw a single-day inflow of 87,258 ETH, Binance reserves dropped another 11.5%, and the Ethereum Foundation transferred 4,393 ETH to Kraken during the same period. The locked chips are at a new high, but selling pressure is also lining up—very much like signing up for a gym membership and then ordering fried chicken delivery. $ETH
The capital flow "living apart" is confirmed. BTC ETFs had net inflows over two days, ETH ETFs suffered five consecutive days of outflows; at the whale level, small whales holding 100–1000 BTC are still buying, while large whales holding over 10,000 BTC are net reducing. A correlation of 0.91 only means they rise and fall together, not that they are loved by the same money. 
This is not a bull vs. bear battle, but a structural mismatch. BTC is buying "peace of mind" with cheap options, ETH is covering liquidity cracks with high staking rates. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ $BTC Tesla's Q3 operating profit was $718 million, more than halved year-on-year.
In the same quarter, it didn't move a single one of its 11,509 bitcoins, resulting in an unrealized gain of $288 million (pre-tax) on the books, equivalent to about 40% of operating profit.
The reason is simple: BTC was about 58,600 at the end of June and about 83,600 at the end of September, rising more than 40% in one quarter.
But this money is accounted for at market price: when the coin price rises, the profit statement looks good; when the coin price falls, it must be recorded as a loss. BTC is now about 82,800, slightly lower than at the end of September.
The most worry-free line in the financial report may also be the scariest line next quarter.
Not investment advice #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 ZEC surged from under 500 in August to 1650 on September 27, then retraced to 1055 on the 19th, and bounced back to 1291 this week. The rise was sharp and the pullback deep; the key is to see how far the rebound can go.
The 0.5 retracement of the entire move from 500 to 1650 is at 1075, and on the 19th it just stopped falling at 1055. Capital recognizes this line as the last defense level. More importantly, around 1200: the 0.382 retracement of the whole move is at 1211, the recent 0.236 retracement from 1650 to 1055 is at 1196, and adding the round number resistance at 1200, these three lines coincide. I consider this the strongest support at present. The current price is resting on 1283 (the recent 0.382 retracement) and 1250, which has been tested several times this week, but both have only single support and are relatively weak; a retest will likely break them first.
Looking upward, the recent 0.5 retracement is at 1353. It was pushed back after hitting 1363 early this morning, plus the trapped positions at the previous high of 1389 on the 6th, making this the toughest resistance zone. Short sellers place stop losses mostly above 1390; once there is a volume breakout, a short squeeze could easily push the price straight to the 0.618 retracement at 1423.
Contract open interest is 2.8 billion, daily volume is 7.7 billion, while spot volume is only 590 million, so there will be many spikes. I judge that in the short term, the price will likely oscillate between 1200 and 1390. Using 10x leverage, a single spike can liquidate you. If you really want to trade: use isolated margin, keep leverage under 3x, and place stop losses just below the support zone; do not chase longs near resistance.
Honestly, I personally avoid coins with such high volatility; they are no different from big meme coins. If you really can't resist, open a low-leverage position to keep risk manageable. $ZEC I don't currently consider this short position as a trend-following trade—a single short position only indicates direction, it doesn't prove a trend. Core Trader 14 (0x24fb65…bed0f) opened a new short position of 50 $PAXG with 5x leverage, nominal value about $204,700; the result is not out yet, so let's first look at the risk.
I have three principles for trading trends. First, price leads and judgment follows. Since the material doesn't explain the prior price movement or market sentiment, I won't assume a downtrend just because a large wallet opened a short. If the price is still rising, this short is against the trend, and no matter how large the position, that fact doesn't change.
Second, sentiment must align with direction. If the market is bullish but the price weakens, opening a short has more observational value; if bullish sentiment and rising price coincide, the short must withstand two opposing forces. Here, lacking evidence, I'd rather be a bit late.
Third, leverage must allow room for being wrong. Roughly calculating by nominal value, 5x leverage corresponds to about $40,900 margin; if the price moves against the position by about 10%, the loss approaches half the initial margin, not counting fees and not equal to liquidation calculation.
The trend is the best friend; my attitude is to wait for price confirmation and not substitute wallet actions for trend. When encountering such short signals, what conditions do you use now to confirm direction—moving averages, price structure, or multi-timeframe analysis? What specific criteria do you wait for to recognize the trend?融资1.4亿美元、背靠a16z的区块链公司，最终决定关掉自己开发的公链，搬到竞争对手的网络上。 这是近几年区块链行业正在发生的变化：曾经人人争着造链，后来一些项目开始主动退出。与此同时，交易量和资金越来越集中在少数头部生态，新公链的生存空间似乎正在被压缩。 决定关闭自有链 昨日，原名Story Protocol的DATA宣布逐步关闭自己的Layer 1区块链，并在获得Sui基金会3000万美元投资后，将业务迁移至Sui。 Story曾是知识产权上链领域的明星项目，累计融资1.4亿美元，目标是把音乐版权、专利、商标等资产搬上区块链，实现自动授权和交易。 但现实远比想象复杂。传统知识产权行业已有成熟的授权体系，大型版权持有人缺乏改变现有模式的动力。DATA首席执行官Andrea Muttoni承认，公司试图同时解决太多问题。 今年6月，Story更名为DATA，转向AI训练数据市场。其核心产品Trace负责记录数据来源、授权和使用权。截至10月，官方称已登记超过2.5亿条数据贡献记录。随着业务聚焦，公司意识到：既然真正的产品是数据验证工具，为什么还要花大量资源维护自己的区块链？ 于是，DAThe story focuses on Boss Shi. An old familiar figure in the crypto trading circle, his track record is shocking: starting with 20,000 yuan, he rolled it up to 40 million in two years. Until last night, his positions were flawless—1.2 million XRP short positions with an unrealized profit of $180,000, a 101% return; 150 BTC short positions with a $400,000 gain. The margin rate was close to 6000%. What does this number mean? It means, logically, no matter how the market moves, he should be untouchable.
Then 84,000 broke.
In one day, over 2.5 million yuan evaporated from the account. Note, this is not a loss of 2.5 million, but the total assets took a nosedive. The unrealized profit figures were still there, but the net value was completely distorted. He posted just one sentence himself: "Bitcoin is rallying again, me?"—I read this question mark over and over; it hits harder than any loss screenshot.
Many people don’t understand: the positions are making money, so why is the account bleeding?
Let me explain. Boss Shi used a full-position mode, a single 10x leveraged short position, with the entire account sharing one margin pool. The price moved sharply upward, and the short position losses continuously drained the net value like a pump. The unrealized profit was local, the drawdown was global. On paper, every battle was won, but the war was lost.
The comment section was the most interesting. A user named "Anhui Boss" openly declared he was ready to empty Boss Shi’s pockets. Spectators of legends always outnumber participants; this is the norm in the crypto world.
I’m not writing this to mock. On the contrary, I think this is the most valuable case for full-position leveraged traders to keep—directional judgment was perfect, but the position structure was wrong, and it still ended up back to square one overnight. What broke at 84,000 was not analytical ability, but risk management.
The account safety buffer looks like a waste in normal times, but it’s life-saving at critical moments. 🚨Morning plunge! BTC surged to 84,900 then crashed back to 82,750. Bears just got liquidated, and bulls are taking the hit now?
This morning it hit 84,899, how many thought it would break 85,000 and chased in? Instead, a single bearish candle slammed it back to 82,750, a 24h drop of 2.11%. In the past 24 hours, BTC shorts liquidated $77.6 million, while longs only $7.99 million—those chasing shorts got wiped first, then those chasing longs took the hit, a classic "two-way kill."
ETFs saw a net inflow of $524.8 million yesterday, sounds strong, but October still has a net outflow of about $88 million; one day’s strong medicine can’t fix a month’s bleeding. On-chain is even clearer: a certain whale sold 1,847 BTC for ETH over 11 days, short-term whale unrealized profits halved in a month by 53%, and on October 20 alone transferred 10,605 BTC to exchanges, 2.8 times the daily average.
CPI at 3.7% beats expectations, 10-year US Treasury at 5.3%, macro is suppressing the market. 82,000 is short-term defense, above 85,500 there’s heavy short liquidity, but that’s only if it holds. This morning’s move—were you among those swept out or just watching the show? Discuss in the comments👇$BTC #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Strategy's Bitcoin exposure makes its financial performance closely connected to BTC's price movements.
But investors need to distinguish between changes in the market value of Bitcoin holdings, accounting gains or losses, financing costs, and cash generated by the underlying business.
Each measure tells a different part of the story.
The key question is how Strategy manages Bitcoin volatility while maintaining its long-term accumulation strategy.
#StrategyQ3BTCGains Many people in China have a misconception that as long as they buy a house outright with full payment and have no bank mortgage, even if they lose their job and eat instant noodles at home every day, their life will be rock solid and no one can kick them out onto the street.
But in the United States, even if your detached mansion has long been paid off 100% in full, if you lose your job and your cash flow stops for more than half a year, you will still trigger the brutal "middle-class kill line" and go bankrupt, ending up on the streets!
Because in the U.S., you are always "renting from the government" when it comes to your house, and you have to pay a property tax of 1% to 3% of the house value every year without fail.
For example, if you have a school district house worth 1 million USD in Texas or New Jersey, even without a mortgage, you have to shell out more than 20,000 USD annually just for property tax.
This doesn’t even include the mandatory house insurance costing several thousand dollars per year, several thousand dollars in HOA community fees, and sky-high lawn mowing and heating maintenance fees (if the lawn grows beyond a certain height and you don’t mow it, the municipality will directly fine you a huge amount).
Once a big company lays off employees and your salary stops, if you can’t pay that 10,000 to 20,000 USD property tax, the local government tax office will directly auction off your home's tax lien, and the police will come to seal your house and kick you out.
In the U.S., if you stop running, you don’t even have the right to lie down and relax in place.#MetaQ3 revenue exceeds expectations, legal fees and AI expenses under pressure $BTC
Meta's revenue exploded, but Wall Street is calculating a different figure
Meta Q3 revenue was $64.6 billion, up 26% year-over-year, surpassing the expected $63.4 billion, with the advertising engine still firing.
But the profit statement looks less favorable on the other side: total costs surged 68% to $51.6 billion, including a $9.89 billion legal fee (settlement on adolescent mental health), net profit was $9.86 billion, EPS $3.83 — excluding this fee, EPS should have been $7.4.
More striking is the cash flow: free cash flow was negative $2.12 billion, the first time since listing; full-year capex guidance was raised to $135-145 billion, AI spending is relentless.
The highlight is Muse: over 10 million users in the US and Canada, 25% daily active users. Q4 revenue guidance is $73-76 billion, exceeding expectations, with after-hours trading up as much as 6%.
From the crypto perspective: the giant is making money while going all in on AI, risk appetite hasn't collapsed, which is the macro confidence behind BTC holding 84,000. But the money-burning race continues, liquidity expectations remain tight — before the October FOMC, the whole market has to watch the Fed's moves.The surge is not a sign that the bull market is back; it's just that the shorts have been dragged out for a "parade" again.
$BTC touched 85,000, $ETH peaked at 2527, and many truly thought a breakout had arrived at that moment. What happened? A single candle smashed back down, $BTC fell below 83,000, and $ETH couldn't even hold 2440. $350 million liquidated in 24 hours, 90,000 people taken out, longs at 160 million, shorts at 190 million.
See, both longs and shorts are losing. More shorts were liquidated, not because shorts are dumb, but because at that surge, shorts were the first to be trapped. CryptoQuant's data on April 22 was very straightforward: during that $BTC rally, shorts were liquidated over $600 million in a single day, and $ETH shorts were liquidated $580 million, totaling nearly $1.2 billion in short positions forcibly closed in one wave. But what pushed the price was contract squeezes, not spot buying. Open interest rose from 24.8 billion to nearly 28 billion, fueled by leverage, not new money.
So after the surge, no one caught the fall. Spot didn't follow, although ETFs are still flowing in—April saw a net inflow of $1.97 billion into US spot $BTC ETFs, the strongest month this year—but miners are selling, macro pressure remains, and once derivatives retreat, the price reveals its true face.
Glassnode added another point: the 85,000 to 87,500 range is naturally a dense sell zone. Short-term holders' profit-taking intensified noticeably in late April, with realized profits hitting $4.4 million per hour, three times the baseline level this year. At this position, relying on contracts to hold the price is unsustainable.
So is this round a failed surge, or will longs and shorts continue to be repeatedly cleansed?
My view leans toward the latter. This is not a one-sided market but a tug-of-war exhaustion battle. The selling pressure above is real, the ETF support below is real, and in the middle lies a heap of high-leverage positions. When the price falls, first watch the open interest: if it falls with the price, leverage is being cleared, and after the pain, there might still be some breath left; if the price falls but open interest rises, be cautious—that means new shorts are entering, and the next squeeze might already be on the way.
Whether $BTC can reclaim 83,000 and $ETH can hold above 2450 is the dividing line for short-term strength or weakness. But what’s even more worth monitoring is: after this drop, did open interest shrink or expand? Shrinking means clearing out; expanding means the next meat grinder is warming up.
$BTC $ETH #ETF买盘持续回流，BTC为何仍未走强？ #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 #MetaQ3营收超预期，法律费用与AI支出承压 💻 I want to break down this opening position by code review: The input is Core Trader 07 (0x8afaca…28113) opening a short position on $PLTR with 3x leverage, holding 505.306 units, nominal value about $100,000, reference price $197.9827. The action is clear, but the result hasn't come out yet.
My judgment: This order is worth monitoring, but the current information is insufficient to "approve" the short logic. Opening a short indicates this position is betting on a price decline, but it doesn't prove the entire wallet is net bearish; if there are other long assets, it might also serve a hedging function, which is my speculation.
A potential bug is interpreting "only 3x" as low risk. Dividing nominal value by leverage, the initial margin is about $33,300; if the price rises 10% against the position, the short loss is about $10,000, roughly 30% of this estimated margin, excluding fees. The leverage isn't high, but the absolute exposure is still significant.
If it were me, I would first complete the entry rationale and invalidation conditions before considering execution; lacking information on margin mode, margin calls, etc., you can't directly treat the inverse of leverage as the liquidation distance. Help me review: To judge whether this short order is reasonable, would you prioritize checking the wallet's hedging positions or the stop-loss conditions of this order? What key variable am I missing in this judgment?未来十年大概率往六千美元附近靠拢，中间可能冲一波更高，短期情绪极端的时候甚至可能摸到一万五到两万，但那个位置很难站住，最后还是会回到黄金作为商品的合理价值附近，再慢慢往上走。$XAU $BTC $ETH 逻辑其实就一条。现在各国当家人面对的问题都一样，财政赤字年年涨，政府债务越滚越大，能用的办法无非就是压低利率，或者借新债还旧债。欧美日利率越高，财政利息支出就越吓人，美国现在百分之五的利率对应两万亿利息，占财政支出将近四成，长债已经发不动了，只能靠短债续命，说明市场在定价未来的高通胀。 供给侧也有变化。当前四千多美元的价格让金矿企业能赚到合理利润，以前两千多美元的时候大多数矿企根本没动力去勘探和建新矿，供给弹性很弱。 真正的大推手是中国。今年前八个月进口已经超过一千吨，全年预计冲到一千六百五十吨左右，加上国产三百多吨，总消费接近两千吨，差不多占全球产量的六成。与此同时中国还在持续减持美债，外汇盈余除了买黄金也没更好的去处，有点像明朝时期全球白银往中国流的局面。 美国高利率客观上在压低金价，帮中国低价吸筹。但这个窗口不会一直开着，等债务和通胀压力真正爆发，黄金会螺旋式上涨。 对做交易来I saw BTC dropping for several hours this morning and thought there would be fewer people going long on OKX, but the number of people actually increased.
The OKX BTC perpetual long-short ratio was 1.04 at 7 AM and rose to 1.44 by noon. During the same period, the open interest decreased by about 1,200 contracts.
At first, I also thought the drop meant the bulls were exiting. But looking closer, there are two groups: large positions are withdrawing—the top 5% of accounts by position size have already turned bearish; meanwhile, small accounts are buying in one by one.
Last night I said the batch of new positions opened yesterday afternoon would be liquidated first when the price dropped. This morning, the open interest roughly returned to the level of 2 PM yesterday, so that prediction holds.
So this downward move is large holders exiting while small accounts are accumulating. If by this time tomorrow the OKX BTC ratio falls back below 1.2, it means this batch has left and I was wrong.
Just to reconcile, I said yesterday that if the ETH ratio returned above 2.2, I’d be wrong. At noon today it’s 2.16, just short of that, so I won’t admit it yet.The US OCC just confirmed on October 21 that the GENIUS Act and regulatory rules will take effect on January 18, 2027.
This is not some bullish news that will double ETH tomorrow; it's purely the US trying to use stablecoins as a new global channel to harvest dollars. In the future, as long as you have a phone and a wallet, the whole world can use USDC or USDT.
What's even more extreme is that compliant stablecoin reserves have to buy US Treasuries. Global retail investors convert their money into stablecoins, and in the end, they all end up holding US Treasuries. It seems like crypto compliance, but in reality, it's the dollar using the blockchain shell to spread its network everywhere. This move is indeed clever Another L2 has shut down. Sophon announced it will completely go offline on November 30, with November 25 as the withdrawal deadline. After that day, coins on the chain might be lost forever. This chain once raised about $70 million, SOPH has now dropped over 98% from its peak, and TVL fell from $20.1 million to 16,500. After Abstract and Blast, this is the third one. Passengers who got on board! Is it that we don’t need so many chains, or have these chains never really found their users?
$SHOP Tesla Q3: Profit Halved, So Why Aren't the Bears Laughing Yet?
The earnings report looks scary at first glance: Q3 revenue at $28.05 billion, basically flat; net profit at $787 million, down 43% year-over-year; operating profit also dropped 56%.
But the market is seeing another side: adjusted EPS of $0.48, beating the expected $0.45; deliveries of 486,500 vehicles, exceeding expectations; free cash flow turned positive at $1.53 billion; and $45.4 billion cash on hand.
What really bothers the bears is the gross margin: vehicle gross margin returned to 18.5%, total gross margin at 19.6%, up 1.6 points quarter-over-quarter. FSD subscriptions reached 1.74 million, up 67% year-over-year, with over 75% of new cars in North America equipped with FSD — the software story is starting to pay off.
Crypto reflection: Tesla's earnings also hide $288 million in unrealized Bitcoin gains, with 11,509 BTC sitting on the books. The tech giant earnings season warming up = risk appetite warming up, and BTC's recent rise above 84,000 owes something to this momentum. #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 $BTC $XRP
Among the major coins, it's the only one in the green today, yet leveraged funds haven't followed at all.
XRP rose 1.07% in 24 hours, trading at $1.3466. At the same time, BTC rose 0.08%, ETH fell 0.01%, SOL fell 0.35%, ADA fell 1.21%, DOGE fell 1.51%. While everything else is bleak, it's moving up on its own.
But if you look at the contract side, you'll be surprised. XRP's perpetual funding rate is only 0.0047%, the lowest among the six major coins; open interest is $91.27 million, while ETH is $1.4 billion, BTC is $2.47 billion, XRP doesn't even reach a fraction of that. The price is rising on its own, but no one is leveraging up.
This is quite interesting. The rise is driven by spot buying, not contract piling. Is there really capital accumulating, or is this a short squeeze caused by shorts covering and triggering a FOMO rally? Does this position make your hands itch? Do you dare to get on board?

Tonight (October 22), up to 1.3 billion SpaceX shares will be unlocked, the largest batch since listing, accounting for 28% of the 180-day lockup pool. This unlocking is based on the financial report, not the calendar: the Q3 report was released after market close on October 20, with terms specifying unlocking on the second trading day after the report, with no price conditions. On Saturday, another 328.4 million shares will expire, tradable next Monday—about 1.63 billion shares in total within a week, increasing the float from 22% to 32%.
The timing is even more critical: the earnings exceeded expectations, the stock price rose 7.8% last night, closing at $159, with positive news realized and high volume at a peak, perfectly leaving the selling window open for employees and early investors who have waited four months. Musk’s 6.4 billion shares are locked until June 2027 and cannot be moved, but others’ locks open tonight.
Unlocking does not mean mandatory selling; previous unlock days saw both rises and falls. But this time the volume is historically the largest and follows the earnings-driven price surge, so supply and timing favor the bears. Opening shorts tonight. On December 8, another 798 million shares await unlocking, so selling pressure won’t be a one-day event.
#SpaceXQ3营收大增161%，AI业务成增长主力 $ETH
The ETF money has all flowed back, yet Ethereum is showing you a drop instead.
Yesterday, the Ethereum spot ETF had a net inflow of $14.95 million, ending five consecutive days of net outflows. According to the usual script, money coming in should push the price up, but ETH still fell 0.01% in 24 hours, now at $2445. It surged to $2526 in the morning session but then dropped back, and it barely touched the $2550 barrier without daring to break through.
On-chain activity is actually lively. Three addresses withdrew 24,000 ETH last night, about $60.68 million, with one address that had been dormant for four months immediately staking upon activity. Another address accumulated 4,500 ETH again after nine months. ETFs are buying, whales are withdrawing, and the price is falling.
The most contradictory is the contract side. The ETH perpetual funding rate is only 0.0081%, with $1.4 billion in open interest, showing no excitement following this wave of capital flow. Spot ETFs are entering, but leverage refuses to get on board.
Is this smart money knowing something in advance, or are the bulls scared from the last drop? Do you dare to hold your ETH long positions overnight now?
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 BTC touched 84,853, but the money only returned in one direction
$BTC once surged to $84,853, with ETF single-day net inflows of $289.8 million, and on October 19 recorded the largest near-month single-day inflow of $526.6 million. However, the order book sell orders between $85,000 and $87,000 heavily overlap with liquidation clusters, and $87,000 has been rejected three times. ETF inflows "have direction but lack depth," supporting the bottom is possible, but breaking through the wall is insufficient.
$ETH last night had a false breakout at 2,527, then smashed down to 2,446 after hitting the 20-day SMA. October ETH spot ETF net outflows exceeded $1 billion, with 10 consecutive days of outflows—the longest since May. 2,500 is a moving average resistance zone, not support.
$SOL is trading around $106, with the head and shoulders neckline at 100; a daily close below this confirms a drop toward 80. The seven-day average ETF flow has reversed to a daily net outflow of about 40,000 tokens, the deepest since 2026; however, on-chain RWA is about $4.4 billion, doubling since May, with issuers including BlackRock and State Street. On-chain is long, ETF is withdrawing, so short-term price is still set by the latter.
On the macro side, 94% of economists expect no change in October, but all 100 respondents expect a rate hike in December.
Summary: BTC has ETF support but hits resistance, ETH is bleeding, SOL’s on-chain and price are disconnected. Among the three coins, only one is attracting capital. Without broad relay, BTC’s solo upward push is harder than it looks. #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 $BTC's surge to 84000 yesterday—was it a bull trap or a reversal? Why do I still remain bearish today?
Yesterday's pullback of Bitcoin to 84000 indeed confused many, with some even wondering if the bull market has returned. Today, let's break down yesterday's abnormal movement and why, after reviewing the data, I remain firmly bearish.
The core reason behind yesterday's rally was actually a battle between sentiment and chip distribution. First, geopolitical easing combined with rate cut expectations activated short-term speculation. BlackRock saw a net inflow of over $600 million on Monday, providing ignition for a liquidity-starved market. Coupled with extremely crowded short positions, the main players triggered a chain of forced liquidations, and passive buying pushed the price sharply upward.
From the current perspective, this rally is a news-driven impulse, not a trend reversal. $ETH #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 The long-short ratio is greater than 1, but that doesn't mean the bulls have won
For large accounts of $BTC and $ETH, the long-short ratio is above 1.
For $CORE, almost all short positions in the short-term liquidation are shorts.
How this number is calculated: the long-short ratio is the volume of long positions divided by the volume of short positions.
$BTC is 1.1093, with long positions about 10% more than short positions.
$ETH is 1.0433, only 4% more longs, showing weaker strength.
A common misunderstanding: this number only counts the positions placed.
It doesn't tell you how much leverage these positions have.
Nor does it tell you who will break first.
Large holders leaning long means they are not in a hurry to exit.
But with high leverage, if the price moves against them even a little, they will be the first to be sold out.
$CORE shorts have been cleared; the next to be cleared might be those who just chased longs.

The Sandbox represents a bet on digital ownership, user-created content, and blockchain gaming. Its biggest challenge is simple: virtual worlds need engaging experiences to keep users active. Token utility can support an ecosystem, but it cannot replace genuine entertainment value. SAND’s long-term prospects will depend on whether creators and players continue finding reasons to return.
#SAND #Gaming #Web3The ETH airdrop narrative is "overdrawn": what most people interact with may not be opportunity, but cost!
From a professional perspective, what truly deserves attention in ETH right now is not short-term price fluctuations, but the distortion of ecological participation behavior caused by airdrop expectations.
In the past, airdrops were seen as incentives for early users, liquidity providers, and genuine builders; but now, a large amount of on-chain interaction has evolved into a standardized "task farming" process: cross-chain, staking, testnets, protocol interactions, community engagement... Users continuously invest time, Gas fees, and opportunity costs, yet may not receive returns commensurate with the risks.
More extremely, the airdrop track is shifting from "rewarding genuine contributions" to "filtering low-cost traffic." Project teams strengthen anti-sybil measures, delay token issuance, and compress allocation ratios, meaning the marginal value of simply increasing interaction counts is declining. For ordinary participants, what is most easily overlooked is not missing out on the airdrop, but mistaking a large amount of inefficient interaction for asset accumulation.
The ETH ecosystem still possesses deep liquidity, a developer base, and infrastructure advantages, but this does not mean every airdrop expectation has value support. What may become scarcer in the future are verifiable long-term contributions, genuine capital usage behaviors, and sustained retention, rather than wallet counts and task screenshots.
Airdrops are not free lunches; when everyone is "lying in wait," the costs are often already written into the rules.$APR will continue to be weak on the last day before unlocking on October 23rd, as the chips accounting for about 47% of the circulating supply are still weighing it down. For this kind of large-scale unlocking, underperforming the market in the week prior is normal, and today's big bearish candlestick falls right within this window. Almost all liquidations are long positions, $170,000 versus $20,000. The drop liquidated longs who wanted to buy early; shorts were not squeezed out. Contract open interest is only at the tens of millions of dollars level, so support is thin. The structure with the raised high point on the chart hasn't broken yet, but the new supply close to half the circulating supply is outweighing the technicals; the moving averages show a bearish alignment and RSI at 37 better reflects the current situation. Before unlocking, I expect it to move toward today's low around 0.02611. If it climbs back above 0.0318 before unlocking, it means selling pressure has been digested early, and the outlook turns bullish. After unlocking, the retest shows no stable direction; this time, I only focus on the day before unlocking.First, consider the worst-case scenario: a 20x short position facing a sudden reverse surge, where the unclosed portion could quickly lose profits or even trigger a forced liquidation. In this monitoring, Core Trader 64 partially closed about 50% of the $ETH short position, closing 500 ETH and realizing a profit of $15,515.
From my previous risk control experience, when seeing such trades, I first set aside "how much was earned." My judgment is that this exit reduced the risk exposure, but partial profit-taking should not be interpreted as the entire trade being safely secured.
⚠️ I’m watching three points: the closing amount this time is about $1,222,500, so scale should not be judged by coin quantity alone; from the opening average price of $2,476.03 to the closing price of $2,445, there was a favorable fluctuation of about 1.25%, and 20x leverage also amplifies reverse losses; only about half was closed, so the remaining position still carries risk. Since there’s no information on stop-loss or margin, I won’t guess how long it can hold.
For ordinary people, my more practical habit is to first set the maximum loss per trade as a portion of account funds, then calculate position size backward from stop-loss distance, rather than deciding bet size by leverage multiple. How much do you usually set as the stop-loss loss limit per trade relative to your account funds? When encountering partial profit-taking like this, do you recalculate the remaining risk?Brothers, tomorrow is the first trading day after Tesla and Meta's earnings reports are released, and the market will likely show significant divergence. As of now, the probability of Tesla being bearish is indeed increasing, but bearish does not necessarily mean a decline; it is also entirely possible for the stock to rise directly after the earnings report.
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正
The pressure on the automotive business, changes in profit margins, and delivery expectations are all areas the market has been closely watching. If the data in the earnings report does not significantly exceed expectations, or if management expresses a relatively conservative outlook on future deliveries, margins, and cash flow, the stock price may initially come under pressure. Especially before the earnings report, many funds have already traded in advance on the possibility of "missing expectations," so when the results are actually released, short covering may occur.
Tesla stock price support: around $388
Therefore, Tesla is most likely to show two types of movements. The first is that the earnings report is not bad, but the guidance does not provide a stronger imagination space, so the stock price opens high and then falls back, forming a spike and retreat. The second is that the market originally expected very poor results, but the actual data is not as bad as anticipated, and with management mentioning AI, autonomous driving, energy storage, or subsequent product progress, funds may pull the stock up directly after the bad news is fully absorbed.
Meta's boss chooses to place a small long position near 700 to rebound $META Meta's Q3 shows an advertising engine still expanding: impressions rose 10% while average ad prices climbed 14%, helping push revenue to $64.601B. That points to growth from both reach and monetization.
The harder question is capital discipline. Q3 free cash flow was negative $2.12B alongside $34.91B in capex, so the $135B-$145B annual plan raises the bar for AI returns.
#MetaQ3RevenueBeat For Tesla's earnings report, I first look at the profit metrics, then listen to the future story.
Looking at the just-released Q3 data on October 22: revenue was about $28.046 billion, basically flat year-over-year; GAAP earnings per share were $0.22, adjusted earnings per share were $0.48.
The two figures differ by $0.26, so you can't just pick the more favorable one. The adjustments include stock-based compensation and other factors; to judge earnings quality, you have to consider both metrics together.
But the business has improved: excluding regulatory credit revenue, automotive gross margin rose from 16.3% last quarter to 18.1%.
I think this report is better described as "automotive gross margin recovery, overall profitability still under pressure"; it's too early to conclude a full turnaround.
Going forward, I will continue to watch automotive gross margin and cash flow. If the improvement doesn't persist, expectations for recovery will need to be lowered. The goals for robotics and autonomous driving also require actual operating results for validation.
Do you value this gross margin rebound more, or are you more concerned about profits still being under pressure?
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Brothers, ZEC has returned to 1293, but this time the rally is not driven by whales, it's ETF funds turning around
$ZEC $1,293
ZEC has rebounded from the October 18 low of 1049 to around 1293, with a cumulative increase of about 15% this week, closing higher for three consecutive trading days. Your reported 1293 is just below the 1300 resistance level
There has been a key shift in capital flow. The Grayscale ZCSH ETF recorded a net inflow of $15.18 million on Wednesday, a 30-day high, while Monday's $1.6 million was just a drop in the bucket. This is the first decent recovery after three consecutive weeks of net outflows. The ETF has shifted from selling pressure back to buying, which has a significant marginal impact on a relatively low-liquidity asset like ZEC
The date for NU7 is set. Developers submitted the proposal on October 21, activating block height 3,543,405, expected to launch on the mainnet on November 5. Block time will be cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, with 60% of fees going into reserves. The positive news is no longer just "expected," there is a clear timetable.
But there is a data point to watch. Derivatives open interest has risen to $2.89 billion, the highest since September 29, with retail investors chasing. Meanwhile, the 24-hour open interest adjusted CVD is negative, indicating some are selling during the rebound. ETFs are buying, retail is chasing, and some are selling — a three-way game
Technically, 1300 is immediate resistance; a breakout could target the previous high of 1698. Below, 1210-1235 is the EMA support zone

This is the first time traditional industries like General Electric, Novo Nordisk, and AstraZeneca are brought into crypto perpetual contracts together.
Three things about your wallet.
1. Today $SOXL dropped 9.1% (104.46→94.9), while $NVDA only dropped 1.0% and $AMD dropped 2.5% in the same period — 3x leverage directly amplifies index-level drawdowns into your principal loss. If you want to hedge tech stocks, now there’s a tool: $SOXS rose 9.5%.
2. These contracts have no spot anchor (GE, VST spot markets are not available), settlement prices follow US stocks, and contracts keep moving even when the underlying is closed, so gaps are likely during holidays.
3. VST and GE have up to 20x leverage, with wide spreads and thin volume on the first day; don’t rush in if 15-minute volume hasn’t picked up.
Will you open 20x long positions on $GE, or hedge with $SOXS? $AI #Tesla currently holds 11,509 $BTC, valued at nearly 1

Now let's do the merger math. $BTC #TeslaQ3MarginRecovery Retail investors are fearful, while whales are buying.
$BTC long positions at 51.43%, long-short ratio 1.0589, the advantage is very thin; but Santiment shows retail sentiment slipping into the FUD zone (bearish overtaking, reading 0.94), while whales' long-short ratio across the platform is greater than 1—retail reducing positions, whales accumulating, with real buy support at 77K.
$ETH long-short ratio 1.0133 nearly neutral, but perpetual funding rate crushed to an annualized -72%, the worst among major coins, shorts extremely crowded, any rebound will squeeze shorts; meanwhile, an address borrowed 10.6 million USDT to add 5,001 coins at an average price of 2,120, holding 137,400 coins, liquidation price 1,324.
$CORE 24h +10.73%, shorts account for 50.31%, 4H pullback -3.98%, this is a deep dip oversold play rather than a reversal.
Long-short ratio only indicates who holds positions, not who is making mistakes: BTC shows retail and whale sentiment divergence, ETH shows crowded shorts plus a giant whale adding spot leverage, CORE shows shorts adding positions during the pump.
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Brothers, SNDK has dropped back to 1337, but this time the reason for the sell-off is different from before
$SNDK $1,337
SNDK closed around 1378 on Wednesday, with 1337 basically the post-market pullback level. Since the June peak, this correction has exceeded 40%. The market is now worried not about the disappearance of AI demand, but that the pace of NAND price increases may slow down.
Guangfa Securities expects NAND's quarter-on-quarter price increase in Q4 to slow to low single digits, and the technological progress of China Yangtze Memory is also intensifying competition concerns. However, orders for data center and enterprise SSDs are still accelerating. TrendForce expects enterprise SSD prices to continue rising in Q4, with most orders from hyperscale cloud providers being QLC drives, specifically used for storing AI context data.
SNDK estimates that the proportion of NAND demand from data centers has risen from about 30% last year to roughly half now. The consumer side is indeed soft, but the certainty in the data center segment remains.
Mizuho reiterated outperforming the market before the earnings report, with a target price of 2050, based on the logic that NAND supply will tighten significantly by 2027. Analyst consensus target price is 2173, implying about 57% upside.
The Q1 earnings report on October 29 is the next validation point. Whether the gross margin can hold the 83%-85% guidance is more important than the stock price itself.
#特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正
#MetaQ3营收超预期，法律费用与AI支出承压 It's getting dark, and this afternoon's gradual decline is the most frustrating, like a dull knife cutting flesh; many brothers' mentality has already loosened. Those who wanted to lightly test the waters during the day are now mostly stuck halfway up the mountain, but don't rush to average down or add positions yet.
$BTC has fallen below 82K, and $ETH and $SOL have also broken key support levels. Normally, bulls should retreat, but the contract data shows the opposite: ETH's 4-hour long-short ratio has surged to 2.52, SOL to 2.31. This indicates retail bulls haven't given up and are still holding or even adding positions.
This crowded long structure is the most dangerous. The load is too heavy; the main force has no reason to carry it for free. Only a leverage blowout or a wick down to shake out positions below can move it. Bottom fishing now has an unfavorable risk-reward ratio.
Tonight, the US stock market still faces tough battles. Those with positions should prepare defenses and not stubbornly hold on by luck; those without positions shouldn't guess the bottom but wait for the right-side stabilization and liquidation to finish before considering entry. Principal intact, only then is it qualified to get on board when the trend comes.
#ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ Meta's latest earnings report looks quite divided. Is AI really generating cash for it or just burning money? META
Meta's Q3 revenue reached $64.601 billion, up 26% year-over-year. Earnings per share were $3.83, but excluding $9.89 billion in litigation costs, the actual EPS was as high as $7.40.
The core advertising business remains solid, with impressions up 10% and average prices rising 14%. However, capital expenditures soared to $34.91 billion, resulting in free cash flow turning negative at -$2.12 billion. The full-year capital expenditure guidance was raised to $135 billion to $145 billion.
Notably:
First, a fundamental change in capital structure.
Meta plans to introduce non-voting Class C shares. This is Zuckerberg's move to maintain absolute control amid aggressive AI compute expansion, preventing Wall Street from constraining future cash flow under pressure.
Second, compute conversion efficiency.
Compared to peers, Meta's AI monetization is more directly embedded in ad recommendation algorithms, driving up ad unit prices. But hardware investment growth still outpaces cash flow accumulation.
Short-term free cash flow is expected to be suppressed by infrastructure spending, but as long as ad AI monetization efficiency does not decline in the mid to long term, high-intensity investment will build very high technical barriers.
$META #MetaQ3营收超预期，法律费用与AI支出承压 Brothers, BTC and the second coin surged and then fell back on the eve of the FOMC, but there's a data point on ETH that's much more eye-catching than the price
$BTC $82,850 | $ETH $2,443
Bitcoin once surged above 84,300 intraday, then fell back to around 82,850. Ethereum slid from 2,478 to 2,443, basically flat over 24 hours. In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $269 million, with shorts accounting for $189 million; shorts were liquidated during the surge.
ETH's ETF outflows have already exceeded the hundred-billion level. Since October, the US spot Ethereum ETF has seen a net outflow of $1.08 billion, setting the largest single-month outflow record since 2026, wiping out the $832 million inflow from September. BTC, on the other hand, is recovering—Monday alone saw a net inflow of $527 million, with BlackRock's IBIT absorbing $665 million. The institutional treatment of BTC and ETH is now completely on different levels.
Technically, 83,000 is the short-term watershed for BTC. Only above this can we look at the previous high of 84,300; below, 81,500 is the starting point of this rebound. For ETH, 2,430-2,440 is a dense trading zone; holding this range is necessary for recovery space.
Let's discuss in the comments: ETH ETF ran off $1 billion in October, does this count as institutions voting with their feet?👇
