$ZEC independent market phase has ended, now it can only follow the mainstream
Since the failed attempt to break 1700, the price has been weakening continuously. Institutional funds are also withdrawing; in the first week of October, Grayscale ZCSH had a net outflow of about 59 million USD, which is a very direct signal
Currently, $ZEC has small gains and large losses, basically relying on the mood of the mainstream market. The previous explosive rally was driven by positive news plus a short squeeze, which is hard to replicate in this market
Yan Yan's trading strategy:
Light short position around 1200
Stop loss above 1235, target first around 1130. ZEC at $1195, are you still holding?
Dropped from 1650 to 1195, 28% gone. ETFs are redeeming, leverage is liquidating, everyone is asking: is the privacy narrative over? But the weekly chart isn’t dead yet—Is this the final drop or the start of a bear market?
First, look at the surface: broke support, bulls got swept.
In 24 hours, it swung from 1125 to 1310, volume expanded, long liquidations clearly exceeded shorts. Market cap still around 20 billion, ranked 10th, with over 300% gain in the past year. The candlesticks tell you: the daily chart has shifted from recovery to a bearish continuation, EMA20 pressing at 1305, EMA50 hugging around 1190, RSI 42-44 neutral to weak, MACD below zero—every indicator is shouting one thing: the short-term drop isn’t over, don’t rush to bottom-fish.
But then look at the weekly chart.
Price is far above the 200-week moving average (around 650), weekly RSI still near 60, no bearish divergence. From single digits in 2024 to four digits now, this cycle’s structure remains intact.
Daily bearish, weekly bullish. This is the most divided and critical point right now.
First thing: ETFs are running, Winklevoss is just painting a picture—the buying expectation is over.
Grayscale’s ZCSH saw a net outflow of $93.56 million in the week ending October 2, with the first week after August listing showing net redemptions. The following week continued outflows, volume dropped to 30 million. The segment pushed up by ETF locked tokens in September is being redeemed and dismantled.
Winklevoss’s WINK filed an S-1 aiming for Nasdaq listing, 0.25% fee, Gemini custody, max subscription intention of 100 million—but it’s unapproved, non-binding, and can’t be counted as buying pressure.
Second thing: leverage is clearing, many long positions liquidated, but this is not the start of a bear market.
September perpetual positions peaked over $3.4 billion, declining steadily in this correction. In this recent phase, long liquidations clearly exceed shorts—this is passive long liquidation, not new short selling crashing the price.
No one is shorting ZEC; leverage is collapsing on its own.
Oversold can get more oversold, but your margin can’t.
Daily ATR about 7%-9%, any $50-$80 fluctuation above 1195 is normal. Don’t mistake normal volatility for a trend reversal.
Third thing: macro is hanging a knife—tomorrow’s CPI.
Fed raised rates 25bp in September to 3.75%-4.00%, minutes were hawkish, another hike by year-end is priced in. Tomorrow (October 14) is US September CPI, the trigger for this week.
If CPI beats expectations, BTC and ZEC get hit together; if below expectations, only then is there a technical rebound. BTC is consolidating near 83,000, spot ETFs also saw net outflows last week. ZEC’s beta is higher than BTC’s; without market direction, it amplifies swings both ways.
Macro isn’t the main cause of ZEC’s drop, but it takes away your courage to bottom-fish.
Bull vs. bear, judge for yourself:
On one side:
Weekly trend intact, 200-week MA at 650, far below
21 million max supply, halving similar to Bitcoin, circulating 16.9 million
NU7 upgrade activation on November 5, confirming block time from 75s to 25s
AI monitoring narrative is the core of this repricing, story not dead
1130/1112 double bottom candidates, hold to rebound
On the other side:
ETF net outflows two weeks running, September locked tokens dismantling
Daily bearish alignment, EMA20 pressing, MACD below zero
Long liquidations exceed shorts, leverage still clearing
Tomorrow’s CPI, macro risk assets not cheap
EU to delist “enhanced anonymity” assets by 2027, compliance liquidity tightening
Trading strategy
Long only two types:
Aggressive: if 1130-1150 shows lower wick and no new hourly lows, light position. Stop loss below 1100. First target 1250, second 1290. Reduce half at 1250.
Conservative: wait for daily to reclaim and hold 1290, then buy the dip. Target 1400, stop loss below 1200. May miss bottom but avoids catching a falling knife.
Short only on rebound:
1250-1290 resistance with volume upper wick, light short. Stop loss above 1330. Target 1150, break 1112 to 1050.
Do not open new shorts at 1195. Too close to support, easily stopped out by a spike before CPI.
Position sizing:
Single trade risk no more than 1% of capital. ZEC daily 8%-10% moves common, 3x leverage equals betting on direction.
Existing longs above 1300 cost: rebound 1250-1290 is a reduction zone, not an add zone.
Existing profitable shorts: take partial profit near 1130, move stop loss above cost. Don’t let profits evaporate on a second dip.
Time window:
From tonight until before tomorrow’s CPI, expect volatility and false breakouts, reduce position size.
October 20 NU7 mainnet decision and November 5 activation are mid-term events. Before then, price can go down to 1050 or pull back to 1400. Don’t use event dates as stop loss.
ZEC now is like ORDI in 2024—
After a surge, everyone shouts “Privacy King returns.”
But once daily breaks and leverage explodes, you realize: the story remains, but your position is gone.
Weekly bull not dead, daily bear not finished. 1195 is observation zone, 1130 is bull-bear boundary, 1290 is rebound authenticity boundary.
Before CPI, small positions, quick in and out.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC $ETH 刚才一根针又插上来了，兄弟们怎么看？
盘面来看，ETH这波过山车从高点砸下去又硬拉回来，关键就看2540能不能站稳，收盘站上去才算确认突破，目标看2640。反过来，站不稳就是瀑布。
真正扎心的是资金面。ETF已经连续10天净流出，昨天又跑了8500多万，贝莱德的ETHA一个人就撤了7500万。上周累计流出5.42亿，机构需求明显在收缩。
这就是现在的局面：机构在撤，巨鲸在赌。 2540附近，一边是持续失血的ETF，一边是押注反转的杠杆多头，谁先扛不住谁就输。#9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #Continuous capital outflow, this set of data must be understood!
Just finished sorting out the capital flow; the intensity of institutional withdrawal far exceeds expectations.
Recently, mainstream target-related products have seen large-scale capital outflows, ending the previous trend of continuous capital inflows. The scale of weekly capital withdrawal for related varieties has reached a new phase high, with multiple consecutive days of outflow. The combined amount of capital fleeing from these two types of products is huge.
The core reason for capital withdrawal comes from the uncertainty of the macro environment. Relevant policy statements are cautious, commodity prices remain high, key economic data is about to be released, and institutions choose to reduce positions early and take profits to observe. This is not a long-term bearish view of the market, just a phase of risk aversion and portfolio adjustment.
It is worth noting that the brief slight price rebound forms a clear divergence with the capital outflow. On one side, capital continues to leave; on the other, prices slightly recover. This divergence hides risks, and institutions' short-term participation willingness has clearly weakened. Multiple consecutive days of capital outflow is a signal that cannot be ignored.
Focus next on the upcoming inflation data release. If the data shows moderation and tightening expectations ease, capital is expected to return, and prices will have the chance to test resistance levels upward. Once the data exceeds expectations and tightening expectations heat up again, capital will continue to withdraw. The support range below needs close attention; if support is broken, it will open up new downward space.
In terms of operations, do not rush to bottom-fish. Patiently wait for economic data to land, observe subsequent capital flow and price reactions, then consider entry opportunities.
$BTC $ETH A rare ordinary trading day, and the dynamics between the US and Iran have had almost 20 hours without any important news updates. At this moment, can I say — don't worry, the bosses are working?
This downgrade in rhetoric means that private communication must be frequent. At this time, it is a good opportunity to raise the stakes for both Iran and Russia; both sides need to cooperate.
Russia clearly denied Zelensky's proposed 60-day energy ceasefire agreement but did not officially announce the US-proposed plan. Although contradictory, it essentially tells the US that their chips are insufficient. To get Russia to give up Iran, enough chips are needed. Currently, Russia can be considered to be playing both sides between the US and Iran.
Looking back now, I really can't understand how Trump could simultaneously strike Iran and seek help from the Iranian big brother. What was he thinking! #RiyadhAirportAttack, Saudi Arabia accelerates land oil transport layout 113 million shorts were "buried alive," but the fuel was "one-time use"
Look at the liquidation data, this is the cruelest part.
From October 12 to 13, Bitcoin shorts liquidated $50.86 million, with total market shorts liquidated at $148.79 million, accounting for 71%. During the earlier rebound from the $80,427 low, short positions were liquidated for $113 million, accounting for 69.5% of the total network liquidation at that time.
Those who shorted at 82,000 and 82,500 had the logic that "Bitcoin fell from 87,000 to 81,260, the trend is downward, so the rebound is a shorting opportunity." 82,500 was the "resistance level," and breaking above it was a false breakout.
When "82,500 is the top" becomes a consensus, it is the most dangerous trade.
The price broke through 82,500. The short liquidation line was triggered. The system automatically bought to close positions. The buying pushed the price up, triggering more short liquidations. From 81,260 to 83,300, this $2,000 increase was mostly bought out by the shorts' own margin. $BTC $ETH $SOL #September CPI announcement imminent, Hamark says further rate hikes still needed #TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profit performance to be revealed #Semiconductor sector sell-off, South Korea's KOSPI drops over 6% Bitcoin is moving in the opposite direction of South Korea’s stock market.

#Macro #Insights $BTC 400亿美元的回购，说停就停了。
昨晚存储股集体跳楼，美光跌破1000，闪迪跌了6个点，海力士跌3个点，费城半导体跟跌2个多点，大饼被砸到81247。
前面存储之所以下跌的原因，今天终于出来了，三星和SK海力士把史上最大规模的回购计划提前终止了，400亿美元，不买了。
回购是什么？是这轮存储行情的地基。公司自己下场买自己，等于告诉市场，我家股票便宜，我来兜底。现在兜底的撤了，比什么利空都吓人。
还有个细节更要命。长鑫科技宣布4F²架构突破，单元架构上领先韩国巨头两年。一边停回购，一边被追兵咬上，韩国双雄这画面很难看。地基没了，楼盖得再漂亮也得晃。
不是我不看好存储，前面几天我也是存储的信徒，喊着永远缺存储做多闪迪，结果呢，跌了又#半导体板块集中抛售，韩国KOSPI跌超6%跌，没有一个像样的反弹，忍痛割肉，今天韩国股市又下跌6% ，存储真的还有前途吗？你怎么看#半导体板块集中抛售，韩国KOSPI跌超6% #BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？ #闪迪美光下跌，长鑫技术进展受关注 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned today in its latest "Global Financial Stability Report" that if AI investment suddenly slows down, it could quickly amplify financial market volatility through high leverage, debt financing, and forced sell-offs. Ajian looked at the share of mega tech companies in global investment-grade bond issuance, which has risen from less than 1% in 2024 to about 10%, indicating that the AI boom is indeed becoming more deeply connected to the credit market.
I think there is a transmission chain here worth continuing to track:
AI companies' profit expectations decline
→ The market reassesses the returns on massive computing power investments
→ Financing costs or refinancing pressures increase
→ Companies cut capital expenditures, investors reduce risk exposure
→ Tech stocks, bonds, and related risk assets come under pressure together
This is not to say AI will definitely crash, nor that the crypto market will necessarily fall along with it. But when more and more asset valuations are based on the same assumption that "AI profits will be realized in the future," the correlation of risks will indeed suddenly rise during times of stress.
Above all, DYOR全市场238跌/33涨，BTC纹丝不动，$SOL 单日跌4%——这种日子你打开涨幅榜，第一名是谁？
$BAT，+17.87%。
这不是情绪修复。从K线看，4H成交量从日常的70万张直接爆到1860万张，翻了24倍。而BAT这两天的走势完全独立于大盘——10月12日SOL们已经开始跌了，它还纹丝不动；今天全市场加速，它反而拉升。
为什么是BAT？
$BAT 长期在 $0.14–$0.17 区间横盘，深度拥挤度低，庄家控盘成本不高。牛市初期主流补涨告一段落后，资金开始找低市值、流动性差的币种做「结构性错配」——这类币不需要利好，只需要大盘不崩、情绪别太冷。
$BAT 最近有什么消息？目前没有官方公告。$BAT 的拉升更像是技术面自我强化：一旦突破 $0.16 区间，大量止损盘被扫、止损变买入，触发正循环。
但要注意：$BAT 4H 高点 $0.189 已回落至 $0.174，回撤约8%。低市值币的流动性很薄，进去容易出来难——如果大盘继续走弱，这类币往往比BTC多跌20%以上。
你们觉得 $BAT 能守住 $0.16 这个新支撑吗？That rebound was something else! 🔥 $ETH previously plunged toward $2,400, leaving many long positions under serious pressure.

帮主有话说
Strategy这周只买了250枚BTC，却花了1.92亿美元回购优先股，回购金额是买币的9倍。上市公司BTC单周净买入额环比降了90.6%。
财库模式在变。以前是融资买币，现在优先回购优先股，优化资本结构。BitMine持有603万枚ETH，占总供应4.9%，接近5%目标，管理层说基本买够了，ETH最大的财库买家也要收手。
企业财库的增量买盘在放缓，对市场支撑减弱。但这是慢变量，不是短线方向。
我82800的多单还在车上，止损81500，目标86000。上方压力还在，ETF上周合计流出12亿，美债30年期5.7%，宏观没松。多单是短线博弈反弹，到了目标就减。$BTC $ETH $ZEC
CPI出来之前，大饼大概率在81000到86000之间震荡。不追涨不杀跌，单子挂好止损。

为什么值得关注？ 美国30年期国债收益率已升至5.70%，创2002年以来最高水平。当无风险资产能提供5%以上的年化回报时，资金自然从比特币等风险资产撤离。与此同时，比特币现货ETF上周净流出约6.79亿美元，资金流入转负。此外，恐惧与贪婪指数已从一周前的67回落至56，重回中性区间，市场情绪明显降温。
这支持哪种观察？ 支持“宏观资金面主导短期走势”的判断。比特币与美股同步下跌，说明这并非加密市场自身的问题，而是资金正在撤离所有风险资产。BTC在83,500附近的反弹若无法站稳84,368美元上方，负资金费率与高持仓结构仍偏向回踩风险。
接下来重点观察两件事：现货ETF资金能否重新转正，以及即将公布的美国CPI数据——后者将直接影响市场对12月加息的定价，目前12月加息概率已超过80%。
如果CPI超预期，83,000这个位置还守得住吗？$BTC #半导体板块集中抛售，韩国KOSPI跌超6% 加密市场还在拉锯，关键位反复抢。BTC最低砸到81,018，反弹到84,074，又掉到83,525，一天上下三千多美元。ETH又重新站上2,500，现在2,508。SOL最惨，111.57一路跌到102.19，现价106.75，24小时跌近5%，七天跌超11%，主流币里它最弱。
这波不是币圈自己出事。韩国科技股被AI支出和中国竞争吓崩了，KOSPI暴跌7.4%，芯片股带头砸。但比特币没跟着崩，夏天以来的低位上方守住了，有点走独立行情的意思。资金也没恐慌跑路，更像是在调仓。
与此同时，机构与监管层面也释放出偏积极信号。Metaplanet宣布发行3.29亿美元零息可转债，用于还债和回购股票，而非出售其持有的比特币，显示机构对比特币的长期信心未变。英国法院最新裁决则帮助政府保住了约50亿美元被扣押的比特币，监管层面暂未出现新的利空。
$ETH $SOL $BTC #Strategy's accumulation slows down, is the corporate treasury strategy changing?
The boss has something to say
This week, Strategy only bought 250 BTC but spent $192 million repurchasing preferred shares, which is 9 times the amount spent on buying coins. The weekly net BTC purchase by listed companies dropped 90.6% week-over-week.
The treasury model is changing. Previously it was financing to buy coins; now it prioritizes repurchasing preferred shares to optimize capital structure. BitMine holds 6.03 million ETH, accounting for 4.9% of total supply, close to the 5% target. Management says they have basically bought enough. The largest ETH treasury buyer is also stepping back.
The incremental buying from corporate treasuries is slowing, weakening market support. But this is a slow variable, not a short-term direction.
My long position at 82,800 is still on, with a stop loss at 81,500 and a target of 86,000. Resistance remains above; ETFs saw a total outflow of $1.2 billion last week, 30-year US Treasury yields at 5.7%, macro conditions remain tight. The long position is a short-term play for a rebound and will be reduced once the target is reached. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
Before CPI is released, BTC will likely fluctuate between 81,000 and 86,000. Do not chase the rise or kill the dip; set stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; positions must have stop losses set. Good luck.Deceptive Index: The altcoin season index (the proportion of the top 100 altcoins by market cap outperforming Bitcoin) rose to 66, hitting a one-year high. However, the traditional confirmation threshold for altcoin season is 75%, so it still falls short. More strikingly: 20 out of 26 narrative categories are declining. Compared to the multi-track simultaneous boom of DeFi, NFT, and MEME in 2021, this time only infrastructure assets like cross-chain bridges and data availability are rising, while user-end themes such as social, Meme, and the Solana ecosystem are generally falling. Funds moved to NEAR and ICP: Ethereum ETFs have seen outflows for 9 consecutive trading days, with $75.1 million withdrawn on October 6 alone. Funds have indeed spilled out of the Ethereum ecosystem, but the two main recipients differ significantly in nature: NEAR: Supported by ETFs. Bitwise's NRR ETF attracted about $58 million at the end of September, but this accounts for only 0.55% of circulating supply, and inflows have rapidly slowed—from $35.5 million in a single day down to $3 million. Its annual revenue is only $20 million, yet it supports a market cap close to $7 billion; the Intents protocol processed $31 billion in transactions but only collected $2 million in fees. Price increases rely on scarcity narratives brought by ETFs and derivatives leverage. ICP: The 18.47% rise over 30 days depends on the AI narrative of the Cyclotron module and a deflationary policy with inflation dropping below 3%. TVL ranges from $16 million to $69 million, with 357 weekly active developers, and liquidity concentrated in small exchanges.Don't rush to go to the streets, bulls, focus on these two first! 👀
Woke up confused, bears are drooling at the mouth, bulls quickly grab a bowl and hit the streets 🍚. But the market quietly changed: BTC and ETH are being bought at the bottom, SOL is still dazed in place.
$BTC: 1-hour spot net inflow of 13.73 million, contract net outflow of 377 million, active buying dominates; but 4-hour spot net outflow of 77.48 million, 24-hour net outflow of 182 million, selling pressure hasn't fully dissipated. How far the rebound can go depends on the support.
$ETH: 1-hour spot net inflow of 13.27 million, contract net outflow of 182 million; 4-hour spot net outflow of 85.39 million, 24-hour net outflow of 263 million. If buying remains during the pullback, the recovery will be more stable.
SOL: 1-hour spot net outflow of 135,200, contract net outflow of 66.03 million; 4-hour and 24-hour spot net outflows of 21.16 million and 45.17 million respectively, buying hasn't kept up, continue to wait.
In this rebound, I prioritize watching BTC and ETH, SOL is on observation for now. Long term still bullish, but after the rebound, I also want to occasionally short to enjoy some gains 😎. The premise is: don't let the buying run away again. #September CPI announcement imminent, Hammock says further rate hikes needed #TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profit performance to be revealed 盘口忽然安静了一秒，然后BTC那根针就扎下来了。 你猜，真正被挤爆的是多头，还是那些以为自己很安全的人？ 刚盯着永续盘看，感觉特别明显。这波不是单纯的消息驱动，更像是一场针对仓位的定向爆破。BTC和ETH的未平仓合约一直挂在高位，资金费率之前又偏向拥挤的一侧，这种结构最怕的就是横盘后的突然加速。昨天那根反弹，现在回头看，更像是给追多的人递了一张假门票，然后门就关了。 有意思的是，这次不是所有币一起崩。ETH的牛旗结构被破坏之后，山寨的反应明显更脆，说明杠杆资金在往最薄的地方跑。美元走强、通胀和利率预期压着风险偏好，ETF那边又持续有赎回压力，这些宏观变量没变，变的是衍生品市场里谁在裸泳。 但我也得说，偏多的逻辑不是没有。BTC在81000附近确实有比较强的支撑，ETH在2430一带也有承接，如果CPI数据没有想象中那么糟，空头回补的力度可能会很猛，毕竟现在空头仓位也不轻。问题在于，这种反弹是修复还是诱多，得看成交量能不能跟上。 我自己的感觉是，市场现在交易的已经不是方向，而是脆弱性。高杠杆加低容错，任何一边被点燃都会很快。CPI是下一个扳机，但扳机之前，仓位结构已经先说话了。 别急着站"Exchanging $SOL for stocks, this drama is interesting"
Others see it as a dump, I see a business war.
The treasury company holding SOL sold about 1.25 million tokens in 5 days, cashing out $138 million, with over 210,000 tokens not yet confirmed sold. The money hasn't disappeared; it's being used for a $201 million tender offer at $3 per share, aiming to buy back up to 95% of the shares.
What's more interesting is the condition in the offer: SOL must stay above $100. They even rejected acquisition proposals from others in the meantime.
Do you get it? They convert the tokens into cash, then use the cash to buy back their own stock, while telling those who want to buy them: no sale.
I don't understand capital operations well, but I do know this: a company that doesn't believe in SOL wouldn't include "keeping the token price stable" as a condition for the deal. Isn't that risking themselves?
Of course, 1.25 million tokens is not a small number; dumping them would look bad on the market. But they have it planned clearly—the money is for buybacks, not running away.
The show is over, and the tokens are still in my wallet. They have their offer, I keep mine.

For personal observation only, not investment advice.$WDC Unexpectedly, Western Digital is the first to lag behind among storage stocks; SanDisk, Hynix, Micron, and Samsung are all currently priced about 20% higher than their July lows.
Western Digital is currently at 364.65, with a July low of 423. Saying it has already pulled up is an understatement; only a strong rally suits Western Digital 🤬It was said that after reaching the 8,000 level, a pullback was still expected. Bitcoin's lowest point this morning was 809, showing more resistance to decline compared to Ethereum.
On-chain data indicates large exchanges between major players, which coincides with the orderly retreat of institutions mentioned during the National Day holiday.
The main forces are creating a strong support atmosphere at high levels and definitely won't sell off all at once; otherwise, the FOMO sentiment ignited by real money in August and September would be wasted.
Therefore, even if there is a V-shaped rebound above 830 now, don't panic about the downward move.
Once you understand the intentions behind the main forces, looking back at the cycle makes everything clear.

The latest statement from Chicago Fed President Goolsbee characterizes the AI investment boom as overheated demand, bluntly stating that large-scale expansion of AI infrastructure is driving up costs for electricity, land, and equipment, causing inflationary pressures to spread outward. If inflation persists, the Federal Reserve will need to maintain high interest rates for an extended period, possibly even resuming rate hikes.
This is another round of hawkish remarks from Fed officials recently, echoing the views of Harker. Officials are no longer just focused on traditional consumer inflation but are starting to pay attention to the new inflation risks brought by AI capital expenditures.
Looking at the crypto market, the core logic is simple: the crypto space is a high-risk asset class, extremely sensitive to interest rate expectations. Multiple officials turning hawkish will continue to suppress market expectations for rate cuts, making U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar likely to strengthen, prompting capital to withdraw from risk assets.
Market sentiment will remain cautious, and bulls will be reluctant to leverage up easily. In the short term, BTC and ETH are unlikely to see a strong rebound, with altcoins facing even greater pressure.
However, it is important to distinguish that officials' speeches are about guiding expectations; the final decision still depends on inflation data such as the CPI. If inflation subsequently falls, this series of hawkish remarks will be interpreted by the market as preventive verbal warnings; if inflation data rebounds, these statements will materialize, and the market will continue to face pressure.Hong Kong has launched another Solana spot ETF, issued by PanDu, with custody and trading managed by HashKey.
My first reaction: Oh, another one.
It's not that I don't respect it, but as a short-term trader, my first question when seeing this kind of news is always—will money flow in?
Second question: Is the incoming money for allocation or quick profit?
Honestly, the Hong Kong spot ETF track has indeed unfolded step by step narratively, from $BTC to $ETH and now to $SOL.
But the secondary market's reaction has been increasingly lukewarm each time.
My guess: The direct boost this news will give to $SOL's short-term price is probably limited.
It feels more like handing a business card to outsiders rather than fueling the fire for insiders.
What really needs attention is not the listing itself, but the trading volume in the first few days after listing.
If the volume doesn't pick up, it's just self-excitement.
If the volume rises, then that's a real signal.
Don't get hyped just because of the three letters ETF; the subscription activity for this batch of spot ETFs in Hong Kong is not even in the same league as that in the US stock market.
In short: the listing is for show, the capital is what really matters.
#BTC and ETH spot ETFs see simultaneous outflows, is institutional demand weakening?
#$BTC $ETH The louder the doubts, the more calmly we should look at the data 🧐
CORE has dropped over 90%, and various doubts are flooding in. But when you connect the seven questions, the core issue is actually just one: does doubt equal zero value?
First, look at the data: about 76% of Bitcoin miners' hash power is still delegated to Core, BTC staking has fallen from a peak of 5,000 coins to about 2,335 coins, TVL exceeds $314 million, still the largest Bitcoin sidechain. Exchanges like OKX and Huobi are still running validation nodes, and 5,588 BTC staked has not been massively withdrawn. If miners and institutions really thought it was doomed, why not withdraw? Because delegated hash power does not incur extra costs but adds an additional CORE reward, this is a rational economic choice.
Next, look at the team's actions: hard fork to fix vulnerabilities, continuous construction of the BTCFi ecosystem, not lying flat and running away. Although the "income era" buyback mechanism is temporarily suspended due to SatPay delays, the direction is to let the protocol replace inflation subsidies with real income.
As for exchange delistings, CoinEx and others have indeed executed them, but it needs to be distinguished: this is a risk control measure, not proof of wrongdoing by the project team.
What about $LAB? A typical negative example. ZachXBT accused insiders of controlling over 95% of the chips before the crash, the spot price was continuously manipulated above the contract price, short sellers faced an annualized -17000% funding rate, and PiggyBank was forced to liquidate with a loss of $476,000. Shorting a coin that is highly controlled is not investing, it’s giving away money. $CORE Unrealized loss of $15.5 million! Hyperliquid's one address taught all the shorts a lesson
Let's start with some excitement: the whales on $HYPE hold a total position of about $8.35 billion, with shorts accounting for 53.39% and longs 46.61%, a long-short ratio of 0.87, shorts slightly in the lead. Now for a specific case: address 0x5b5d..60 has a 5x short position on a major coin, currently with an unrealized loss of about $15.5 million — note that on October 11, this position was at an unrealized loss of $20.84 million.
What does this indicate? Even big players can be wrong, and when they are, it's by tens of millions. Some say that having too many shorts might cause trouble, but I think the opposite: the fact that shorts and longs from all over the world are willing to bet here, with $8.35 billion of real money on the table, precisely shows that this is the main battlefield. Depth is not just talk; it is built by both sides of the bet stacking up together.
The range keeps expanding, and the more I watch, the better it looks. Hold on tight. 存储难道真的要不行了吗？$SNDK 从高点1900现在已经跌到1400了，真的要把我搞崩溃了。
现在闪迪已经跌到1400附近了，美光$MU 、希捷、西部数据也同步走弱，这说明不是闪迪一家出了问题，而是整个存储板块都在承受抛压。
看信息这轮下跌主要有三个原因：第一，长鑫存储的新技术进展让市场开始担心未来竞争加剧；第二，AI投资越来越大，资金开始重新评估投入与回报；第三，闪迪前期涨幅已经很大，一旦增长预期出现松动，估值回落就会非常明显。
但我不认为这就代表存储彻底不行了。AI和数据存储的长期需求依然值得关注，接下来真正要看的，是存储价格、行业供需和闪迪财报能不能继续支撑高增长。虽然我也比较同意科技有泡沫的说法，但是现在这个时代就应该发展科技去让时代进步，所以我不悲观。

Here’s my take:
1. Don’t heavily hold before the unlock; if you haven’t bought yet, don’t enter lightly;
2. 0.18 is short-term support; if it breaks, look down to 0.165;
3. If the market can stabilize on the worst sentiment day of the unlock, that will be the true bottom.
Many people only focus on price changes and often overlook token distribution:
1. The team, future team, and advisors hold a total of 56.13M;
2. Investors hold 36.52M;
3. These two groups have nearly zero cost basis and over 100% unrealized gains, so they naturally want to sell.
This batch is not community ecosystem funds but external financing at cost price. Supply will increase directly on the unlock day, and smart money won’t wait until October 16 to reduce positions. Historically, ARB has started weakening 1-2 weeks before previous unlocks, and today’s trend matches that pattern.
But note: 1.56% share is not large, and $18 million scale near $0.19 is only moderate selling pressure. What really determines the market is whether new funds are willing to buy on that day. The diverse fates of small coins under interest rate hike expectations: some crash, some lie flat
On the eve of the CPI release, market sentiment is tense.
$STRK has become the worst performer among new coins. At 0.09265, it plunged 22.29% in a single day. As a representative of the ZK Rollup track, Starknet has no clear negative news today; it’s purely drained of liquidity—Layer2 is the first to be hit under interest rate hike expectations, and new coins lacking trading volume support can be smashed down over 20% by a single large sell order. This is not a fundamental issue but a market structure problem.
$HYPE is testing the edge at 85. At 84.929, it dropped 1.22%, and the defense line built by 97% revenue buybacks is precarious. Big brother Maji has stopped losses and exited, and whales are withdrawing. The CPI impact on it will be fiercer than on Bitcoin; the high volatility nature of altcoins means their rises and falls are amplified.
$BICO is lying below 0.02. At 0.01918, it fell 1.08%. The account abstraction track has neither news nor funds; when the market rises, it lags behind; when the market falls, it follows. Without a narrative, there is no attention.
$RE is lying flat at 0.44. At 0.44310, it dropped 0.33%. DeFi insurance combined with small RWA logic is not accepted by the market. After losing 0.5, narrow fluctuations have become the norm, like a stagnant pool.
Four coins, four dilemmas, but all point to the same background: interest rate hike expectations suppress risk appetite, liquidity concentrates on the top, and small coins can only passively take the hits. The CPI data is about to be released; the real test is just beginning. $SNDK Short on SanDisk rebound, is this thinking wrong? I was bearish all last night, and today you should understand why Old K made this judgment!
Many might wonder why the semiconductor and storage sectors suddenly weakened collectively? Old K will explain the logic behind it.
First, competitive pressure on domestic storage is heating up!
Changxin Storage recently announced progress on a new generation DRAM architecture and plans to launch related server memory products by the end of the year. The market worries that future intensified competition in the storage industry may affect some manufacturers' market share and profit expectations. This news has already triggered a market re-evaluation of the storage sector's valuation.
Second, profit-taking at high levels is starting to loosen!
The previous AI storage rally saw huge gains, but now with rising competition concerns, funds are beginning to cash out profits, putting pressure on the semiconductor and storage sectors simultaneously. Although SanDisk mainly produces NAND flash and not DRAM directly, it is still affected by the overall weakening sentiment in the storage sector.
Brothers, take this chance to enjoy the gains #SanDiskMicronDown, Changxin's technical progress draws attention #September CPI announcement is imminent, Hamak says further rate hikes are still needed The liquidity trap is becoming apparent, don't rush to enter and catch the falling knife
A liquidity trap refers to the situation where after prices fall, capital still chooses to wait and watch, unwilling to enter the market to absorb selling pressure. Even if the price looks attractive, it is difficult to form sustained buying support to lift the market. The current market shows these characteristics, with target prices continuously under pressure. From October 5 to 9, US crypto-related funds had a total net outflow of about $1.286 billion, among which the two major mainstream coin funds saw outflows totaling $1.221 billion, indicating a lack of incremental capital.
This risk will be triggered when capital continues to withdraw and key support levels are repeatedly broken. Each main target has its corresponding support level; once support fails, more speculative assets will be hit harder and may accelerate downward. External economic data and related geopolitical events will also influence capital preferences.
The core of prevention is not to blindly enter the market during liquidity exhaustion phases. Where have you currently set your order entry and stop-loss points?
$BTC $ETH $SOL $BTC $ETH $SOL Another round of liquidation frenzy, did you get liquidated?
Look at this liquidation heatmap, the current market sentiment is clear at a glance, with high-leverage long positions collectively "sacrificed" across the board.
A total of 525 million liquidated in 12 hours, mostly longs; 813 million liquidated in 24 hours, 84.5% of which were long positions liquidated, with over 170,000 people liquidated—a typical long liquidation market.
BTC liquidations reached 141 million, with longs accounting for 67.2%; ETH liquidations were 125 million, with longs at 74%. ETH long leverage congestion is clearly higher than BTC. For second-tier coins like SOL, it's even more extreme, with longs liquidated accounting for 91.3%. Altcoin long positions are the most crowded, and the sell-off is the harshest.
The sentiment pattern is very clear: many funds previously gambled on a rebound, leveraged long, thinking the pullback was a buying opportunity. When the market turned, it triggered a chain of stop losses. Everyone originally expected a rebound but ended up having their positions wiped out, and bottom-fishing confidence quickly cooled.
A small number of red short liquidations indicate it’s not a one-sided, uncontested decline; there were brief rebounds that swept shorts, but that was just a minor episode—the main trend is still slaughtering longs.
After a large-scale washout of leveraged longs, short-term selling pressure will release some. But don’t rush to call a bottom; market confidence is already weak, and funds generally dare not easily take over positions. The overall direction still depends on the macro data’s signals.During this period, the 10-year US Treasury yield once surged past 5.3%, hitting a new high since 2002. The US dollar index strengthened accordingly, and oil prices surged above $100 per barrel. The entire crypto market was suffocated, and $DOGE also fell to around 0.08.
Seeing these macro numbers, it would be false to say I'm not afraid at all. On Friday night, lying in bed and scrolling through the news about the US Treasury yield, I stared at the ceiling for a long time. With borrowing costs rising across the board, corporate expansion is suppressed, and capital is flowing into dollar assets—under such an environment, who would be willing to put money into the high-risk crypto market?
But when I was analyzing the data, I noticed something. After the September rate hike, US spot crypto ETFs saw an inflow of $3.55 billion within one week, the largest single-week inflow for the entire year of 2026.
Money is rushing in after the rate hike. I've been pondering this for a long time.
There’s another thing that reassured me quite a bit. Dogecoin’s open interest on Binance increased by 8.16% in the past 24 hours, reaching $233 million in positions. The price is falling, but new contracts keep opening. The long-to-short ratio of top traders on Binance is 3.15 to 1, with 75.9% of leading accounts betting on a rise, and the global accounts’ long-to-short ratio is also 2.42.
High interest rates and tight capital are facts. But those putting real money on the line haven’t changed their direction.
The price is still hovering just above 0.08, and the market is mostly red. $DOGE, I’m holding.#September CPI announcement imminent, Hamak says further rate hikes still needed ETH: Price-level liquidity is quietly restructuring
Current market divergence focuses on: which side does the liquidity at the current price level favor? ETH is quoted at $2412, with a funding rate of -0.0046%, shorts pay longs, but the rate is slight with no large-scale capital bets seen.
From exchange liquidity perspective, the platform's total open interest is $1.601 billion, a 24-hour increase of 8.12%; open interest has continued to rise 1.9% in the past 4 hours, accelerating short-term chip exchange rhythm. Key price levels accumulate liquidity in different directions, with a $2.5 million short liquidation order at $2528.15, and around $2554.80 there is still $1.9 million in short stop-loss orders. ETFs saw a net outflow of $542 million last week, with BlackRock contributing $477 million outflow, while on-chain whales completed cross-asset portfolio adjustments, selling BTC and increasing ETH holdings.
The $2412 area gathers $635 million in long stop-losses, a liquidity-dense zone. The $2528–$2555 range is an options game liquidity band, where liquidity anomalies often precede price changes. If $2412 holds, long order liquidity will not be released in concentration; if it breaks, concentrated stop-loss orders will be triggered.
$ETH $BTC $SOL When Samsung's profits surge, downstream manufacturers might face even tougher times.
The preliminary quarterly operating profit of 107.4 trillion KRW is indeed eye-catching. But after reviewing TrendForce's report from the end of September, I'm more concerned about how buyers will respond to the price hikes: some PC brands have started reducing the SSD capacity in mainstream models, and smartphone production is also pressured by rising storage costs. The good business for memory manufacturers is turning into a cost that device makers have to absorb.
The report still expects server-related demand to continue supporting prices, so it's too early to say Samsung's profits have peaked. However, the purchasing enthusiasm of server clients is hard to translate directly to ordinary consumers. While enterprises add budgets for AI deployments, some are already cutting back on computer configurations. The ability to bear price increases varies greatly. As supply shifts to high-margin products, it becomes even harder for consumers to get affordable goods.
Next, when I look at the detailed financial report, I want to distinguish how much profit growth comes from sales volume and how much from price and product mix. If price hikes continue but cause more downstream buyers to reduce configurations and purchases, future sales will need to be reassessed. Long-term contracts can lock in some business but may also limit the extent of price increases for certain products in the current period, so you can't directly estimate all profits from spot prices. It's exciting to see record numbers, but I still want to know at what price buyers will start to pull back.
#SamsungQ3PreliminaryProfitBreaks100TrillionKRW Altcoins are ridiculously strong relative to BTC.
In the past four years, whenever BTC experienced this level of dump and weakness, altcoins would basically be hit to new lows.
But now it seems the pattern has changed. As soon as the dump stops, some altcoins immediately rebound strongly. Once they return to the range, they quickly hit local new highs.SBF @SBF_FTX is probably regretting it to death now in prison.

A recent fund pool theft incident on the Base chain has once again brought token permissions and contract risks to the forefront. Just because liquidity certificates look safe doesn't mean the underlying permissions have been revoked.
My judgment is: when evaluating a DeFi project in the future, besides looking at TVL, yield, and audit reports, you also need to ask—who else can move this money? Which permissions can upgrade, freeze, or transfer assets?
Open-source code does not mean no risk, and passing an audit does not mean permanent safety.
After each interaction, do you actively check and revoke authorizations that are no longer needed? CPI hasn't been released yet, but the market has already split.
At 8:30 PM on October 14, the US September CPI will be announced. However, for the same data, two groups of economists have completely opposite expectations: the mainstream expects the core CPI to rise by +0.2% month-over-month, while CIBC's chief economist bets on +0.3% and believes the Fed will raise rates this month. In the past 24 hours, BTC longs have been liquidated by $686 million, and the funding rate has turned negative.
1. What has changed? The CPI hasn't come out yet, but the market already has a serious divergence on whether "core inflation will exceed expectations"—0.2% or 0.3%. Although just one basis point apart, these correspond to two completely different paths: "pause rate hikes" or "tighten again."
2. Why is this worth watching? The 30-year US Treasury yield has surged to 5.70%, the highest since 2002. With a risk-free yield over 5 points lying there, the valuation anchor for risk assets is being redefined. Under the pattern where BTC and Nasdaq rise and fall together, CPI is the only directional referee after this round of leverage clearing.
3. Which observation is currently more supported? More inclined to wait and see before the data, with leverage clearing first. Long liquidations account for over 80%, and the funding rate turning negative indicates the market is waiting for this number in the most conservative stance.
Keep a close eye on the core CPI month-over-month: 0.2% gives the market a breather, while 0.3% could push the probability of a December rate hike from 80% even higher. Tomorrow night at 8:30, that one decimal place will decide whether BTC will recover or continue to get hit. $BTC The more active the DEX trading, does it necessarily mean liquidity providers earn more? I think this is a common pitfall.
Recent research on professional market makers on Solana mentioned that professional AMMs can reduce trading costs, but passive liquidity pools may still be exploited by arbitrageurs due to delayed pricing.
In simple terms, the more frequently users trade, it doesn't mean LPs' fees will definitely cover impermanent loss and arbitrage costs.
When I look at a pool, I don't just consider APY and trading volume; I also look at fee income, price volatility, capital concentration, and whether the strategy can truly outperform simply holding the token.
When you act as an LP, do you value APY the most, or the real returns after deducting losses?#闪迪美光下跌，长鑫技术进展受关注
Changxin Memory President Cao Kanyu stated at an industry event in Shanghai that the company plans to launch DDR5 RDIMM server memory products using a 4F² storage cell architecture by the end of 2026, and claimed the company has made "key progress" in new DRAM memory cell structures. This news became the direct catalyst for the recent concentrated sell-off in memory chip stocks.
On Monday in the US stock market, SanDisk closed down 5.97%, and Micron fell 3.88%. These two benchmark stocks declined on six of the past seven trading days. Micron has dropped nearly 20% from its historical closing high in June, approaching a technical bear market. The downward trend continued in pre-market trading on Tuesday, with SK Hynix down over 5%, Western Digital, Seagate Technology, and SanDisk down over 3%, and Micron down over 2%. In the Korean stock market, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell nearly 9% and 7% intraday respectively, with the KOSPI index dropping over 6% at one point.
The core change in the 4F² architecture lies in the transistor arrangement. Currently, mainstream commercial DRAM uses a 6F² design, where F represents the minimum linewidth in semiconductor manufacturing. Shrinking from 6F² to 4F² means the area of a single storage cell is significantly reduced, allowing more storage cells per wafer and thus increasing chip capacity. Changxin's key technology is its independently developed "Vertical Surrounding Gate" (VSG) transistor, which improves leakage issues and reduces cell area through a vertical gate architecture. Meanwhile, the DDR5 RDIMM product also plans to combine hybrid bonding technology, directly connecting stacked semiconductor layers through ultra-fine copper contacts.
The shift from 6F² to 4F² essentially represents a fundamental technological transformation from horizontal to vertical transistor channels. Samsung previously planned to mass-produce DRAM using this design by 2028, and SK Hynix announced a 4F² technology roadmap for 2025, but large-scale commercialization has yet to be realized. If Changxin launches the product as scheduled by the end of the year, it will gain a first-mover advantage in next-generation DRAM architecture competition.
Changxin's catching-up speed is the core background for the shift in market sentiment. Counterpoint Research data shows Changxin's share of global DRAM revenue rose from 4% in Q2 2025 to 10% in Q2 2026, officially breaking into double digits and firmly ranking as the world's fourth-largest DRAM manufacturer. During the same period, Samsung held 38%, SK Hynix 25%, and Micron 24%. Technically, Changxin's fifth-generation DRAM platform, mass-produced in September, relies on quadruple patterning technology to shrink the active area half-pitch of the memory array to 11.95 nanometers, increasing the number of bare dies per wafer by at least 50% compared to the previous generation. Changxin Technology's revenue in the first half of 2026 reached ¥150.31 billion, a year-on-year increase of about 8.7 times, with a gross margin on main business rising to 84.84%.
However, there remains a significant gap between technological progress and commercial implementation. Eugene Asset Management analyst He Xigen in Seoul pointed out that market uncertainty about whether the current upcycle can continue through 2028 and beyond is suppressing valuations of Korean chip stocks. Jung In Yun, CEO of Fibonacci Asset Management Global, also noted that Changxin still needs to convert technological advances into commercially competitive large-scale production. Changxin must overcome hurdles in yield, efficiency, and customer certification, and with limited access to EUV process equipment, it remains to be seen whether it can challenge Samsung and SK Hynix's positions in the server memory field in the short term.
Another background to this round of sell-off is the simultaneous weakening of support in the memory sector. Samsung Electronics ended its stock buyback program on October 6, and SK Hynix's buyback is also nearing completion, with a combined buyback support of 55 trillion Korean won about to fade. Foreign investors have net sold Korean tech stocks for five consecutive trading days, with daily sales exceeding approximately $1.3 billion, including about $782 million and $415 million sold off SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics respectively. Even Micron, which issued quarterly revenue guidance far exceeding market expectations less than two weeks ago, failed to stabilize its stock price.
The deeper logic behind this sell-off is that the market's pricing logic for memory chip stocks is shifting from "AI-driven demand momentum" to "potential changes in supply-side competitive landscape." Changxin's technological breakthrough provides a clear catalyst, but its true impact depends on the speed of yield ramp-up, customer certification progress, and actual shipment scale. Until then, the valuation system of the memory chip sector will face ongoing revaluation pressure, and the imminent end of buyback support from Samsung and SK Hynix means the market lacks an important short-term buffer.The US stock market is closed, but tokenized stocks might still be trading on-chain. This change is more worth paying attention to than just having another new coin.
Recent research on tokenized stocks points out that a significant portion of these assets' trading occurs outside the normal US stock market trading hours, and price changes may even affect the next market opening.
My judgment is: the greatest value of tokenized stocks is not just moving stocks onto the blockchain, but allowing asset trading times to start decoupling from traditional market rules.
But don't get me wrong, just because something can be traded on-chain doesn't mean it's equivalent to directly holding the stock. The issuance structure, redemption mechanism, and liquidity—missing any one of these could cause problems.
Would you be willing to trade tokenized stocks when the US stock market is closed? I was stunned for several seconds when I came across a piece of data.
There is a platform on Solana called Collector Crypt, specializing in rating card custody and card packs. Its revenue in Q3 was $433.5 million, a record high, up 8% from Q2.
You might think, cards? How big can that market be?
But their cumulative revenue surpassed $1 billion as early as August. $1 billion, just from selling card packs.
What's even more interesting is that the best-selling items on the platform aren't the small packs costing tens of dollars, but the large packs priced over $2,500, which account for 39% of card pack sales.
Imagine this scene—someone spends thousands of dollars opening card packs on-chain, the cards are automatically custodied, automatically rated, and can be traded automatically. The entire process runs on Solana, settling in seconds.
This is a completely different world from crypto speculation. People here aren't betting on price fluctuations; they're genuinely collecting things. Yet it is precisely this "non-speculative" demand that contributes real revenue to Solana.
When people on a blockchain are seriously conducting trades rather than just gambling on ups and downs, the foundation of that chain becomes solid. $SOL #BTC and ETH Spot ETFs See Simultaneous Outflows, Has Institutional Demand Weakened?
Spot ETFs for BTC and ETH both experienced outflows this week, totaling 1.22 billion over the week. Are institutions stepping back?
My answer: BTC is just taking a breather, while ETH is genuinely falling behind.
From October 5 to 9, BTC had a net outflow of 681 million, ETH had a net outflow of 542 million—this was the harshest week since January this year. The most extreme single day was October 7, when BTC saw 485 million withdrawn in one day, marking the largest single-day redemption since the end of June.
But looking at the bigger picture, the nature is completely different:
Since listing, BTC has had a cumulative net inflow of 57.6 billion, with net assets of 100.6 billion. The slight pullback in October is too exaggerated to call a retreat; it’s just profit-taking after a rally.
What about ETH? It has only had a cumulative net inflow of 13.2 billion, with net assets of 14.5 billion. In October alone, it lost 635 million, with nine consecutive trading days of outflows starting from September 29.
Here are the key price levels:
$BTC is around 82,500, with a low of 80,427 on October 8. The 50-day moving average is 79,989, the 200-day moving average is 75,840, and 80,000 is the first major hurdle.
$ETH has already fallen below the 50-day moving average of 2,501, with the next support at the 200-day moving average of 2,329, and basically no one stepping in between. On October 9, XRPL disclosed a payment calculation vulnerability that could potentially generate spendable XRP out of thin air. The fix was released on September 25, and the official statement said there is no evidence that it was exploited on the public network, so this should not be considered as an inflation event that has already occurred.
The exposed issue is very specific: the payment calculation was incorrect, and the protection originally designed to prevent "creating new XRP" also had a similar error. Adding an extra layer of checks does not necessarily provide more security if it relies on the same faulty assumptions.
My view is that when discussing token scarcity, beyond the supply cap, one must also consider the ability to enforce this rule. Years of operation provide historical records but cannot rule out the existence of latent vulnerabilities that have never been triggered.
The team has proposed incorporating regression testing of the fix into the release process. Whether future issues can be proven blocked through reproducible tests will build more trust than simply stating "fixed." $XRP is currently priced at 1.37, down 2.8% in 24 hours, with a 24-hour trading volume of 160 million — volume hasn't picked up, but the price is still going down.
This is the most frustrating thing I see about XRP today. The drop isn't severe, but there's no support. At the mid-level, volume is mediocre, and both bulls and bears are waiting for the other side to make the first move. This kind of market is more exhausting than a crash; a crash is straightforward, but a slow decline with back-and-forth action can wear you down for a week.
The news side is actually quite lively. Evernorth, a company partly owned by Ripple, holding about 473 million XRP, officially listed on Nasdaq today under the ticker XRPN, becoming the first company to include XRP as a treasury asset in a listed company. It surged to 19.38 at open but closed down 1.05%. The first to take the plunge, but the capital market didn't give it much respect.
Also, traders are saying ETH and XRP might drop another 10% before hitting bottom. I usually take such predictions with a grain of salt, but since it made the news, it shows many in the market believe this narrative, and sentiment is being shaped accordingly.
Adding to that, Asian chip stocks are crashing, Kospi dropped 6 points, and the entire risk asset space is contracting.
How do I plan to approach this? I won't add at the 1.37 level. If I really want to act, I'd rather wait for it to fill the recent dip properly; if it can't hold, it's not a bottom. Those holding positions should hold on and not get itchy-handed. $XRP $BICO Biconomy is a Web3 infrastructure project (multi-chain relayer protocol). The technology itself is not bad, but the tokenomics are disastrous—the project team and early investors took a large amount of tokens and have been dumping them continuously until now. The circulation rate is 98%, meaning almost all chips are on the market with no lock-up mechanism to protect retail investors.
On July 30, it hit a historical low of $0.0113, which is only 35% away from the current price. If it breaks below the previous low, it will be an endless downtrend.Strategy continues buying coins, spending more on repurchasing preferred shares
Strategy's announcement on October 12 shows that from the 5th to the 11th, it spent $21.5 million buying BTC, while repurchasing STRC preferred shares cost $192.4 million during the same period. Focusing only on "buying coins again" would overlook another major expenditure by this company.
Almost all the funds for buying coins came from issuing common stock, with a small amount from existing cash. The company is increasing BTC holdings while repurchasing its own issued securities, so the use of funds is not solely for expanding coin holdings.
My judgment is that the significance of this announcement for BTC demand should be discounted: there is indeed buying pressure, but the company's financing ability or cash balance should not be assumed to be money that will enter the crypto market in the future. The expenditure on repurchasing preferred shares does not directly create BTC buying pressure either.
To confirm that such companies are bringing stronger new demand, future announcements need to show a sustained increase in actual coin purchase amounts. Repeatedly mentioning "increased holdings" is not enough yet. $BTC 最近1小时，BTC全网多单爆仓43.3万美元，空单爆仓1520.4万美元
