$BTC Many of these pending orders are not genuine buy orders held to the end; quite a few are placed below to lure buyers. Once the market drops, these orders are canceled in an instant, and the support disappears immediately. Moreover, these are just pending orders for perpetual contracts on exchanges, not actual spot holdings absorbed by real buyers, which is completely different from genuine institutional spot purchases.
Another point is that order books on other exchanges are much thinner. If a large sell order suddenly hits, smaller platforms can't hold it, causing sharp price spikes that easily trigger contract stop-losses. Recently, Ethereum has been weaker than Bitcoin; even if there are short-term support orders, the selling pressure above is significant. As soon as Bitcoin turns down, Ethereum tends to fall even faster.
In short, this data only proves that some traders don't want the price to crash immediately in the short term; it's a short-term sentiment signal and cannot be taken as evidence of a major rally. If large orders continue to absorb sell orders above and spot trading volume picks up, then there is some substance; if orders just stay below without moving, it's most likely a support trap to lure buyers into chasing highs. Leverage positions must be controlled carefully, as this kind of order book can change suddenly. $ETH $ZEC
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ #索尼财报前瞻：游戏与音乐业务表现如何？ Sony will release its fiscal year 2026 Q2 (July–September) earnings report on November 5. Combining the Q1 disclosed data and the full-year guidance, the core focus for the two main segments, gaming and music, is not "which grows faster," but rather the divergence in profit quality: gaming shows revenue contraction with profit resilience, while music shows steady revenue growth but pressure on profit margins.DePIN rose 5.79% this time, and I think the most easily overestimated aspect is the independent market implication behind the term "leading the rise." According to this information, the crypto sector generally rebounded, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising simultaneously, and Aethir and Render within DePIN also showing significant gains.
When I look at sector rankings, I usually first check the background color: is the entire market warming up, or is only one corner lighting up? Leading in a broadly rising environment can indicate stronger current performance but does not directly prove that capital is making a long-term bet on this sector. Price moving in the same direction and a change in investment logic are two different things.
This is quite important for ordinary users. Rankings only show results, which can easily lead people to translate "quick bounce today" as "will be strong going forward." My guess is, if the broader market later stabilizes and DePIN can still maintain relative strength, then the explanation of an independent market is more convincing; if the advantage disappears with the broad rise, this ranking looks more like an amplification of sentiment.
So for now, I record it as a strong performance rather than evidence of sector revaluation. What I want to watch next is whether DePIN can stay at the forefront when the market is not so lively.The 1H candle at 5 AM is the one I want to break down.
$APP perpetual contract traded $3.938 million in that hour, 65.7 times the previous candle's $59,900; open interest rose from 518,000 at 04:00 to 1,669,000 at 10:00, a 222.5% increase over 6 hours.
Let's lay out the facts first: AppLovin Q3 revenue was $2.18 billion, up 55% year-over-year, exceeding its own guidance by $100 million, and Q4 guidance also beat expectations; the stock closed at 271.75 on 11-04, surged to 344.24 after hours, latest at 333.80.
Three numbers:
1. Funding rate turned negative. It was 0 all day on 11-04, settled at -0.264%/8h at 08:00, currently -0.721%. Negative means shorts pay longs.
2. Perpetual at 325.87, 0.68% below the index price of 328.11, 0.56% below OKX tokenized spot XAPP (327.69), and 2.37% below the stock after-hours price of 333.80. Going long captures discount plus subsidy.
3. Thin order book. Perpetual 24h volume is 12.84 million, spot only 455,000, 28 times difference; top 20 levels on perpetual add up to just $9,132. With 25x leverage at this depth, one slip is painful enough.
Background: Closed at 618.32 on January 2, now 333.80, down 46.0% year-to-date.
I don't chase the first gap driven by earnings. Do you think this discount is an opportunity, or that shorts haven't finished running?$BTC 80648 $ETH 2429 $SOL 96 All three RSIs are at the peak. I've already placed my short orders, waiting for the waterfall.
RSI at the peak? Brother, look at the funding rates: BTC is only 0.0086%, ETH 0.0053%. These rates are barely a splash. If it were really overheated, it would have exploded long ago. You can place short orders, but I advise you not to go all in hastily—how long can RSI overbought conditions stay without causing losses? Indicators are just secondary compared to the trend.
ETH has surged the most this round, a 7.7% increase pushing the price right up to the Bollinger upper band near 2450, RSI at 77.7, which looks scary. But MA7 has already touched 2426, and the price is moving up along the moving average. This structure looks more like a continuation than a top. BTC is steadier; above 80600, MA7 is holding firm, and there's still some distance to the upper band at 81600. If a waterfall is coming, it would first test 81300-81600.
SOL is actually the most honest; RSI at 71 just crossed the line, and the Bollinger upper band at 97.4 is its ceiling. Shorting it is more cost-effective than shorting BTC and ETH. My view is straightforward: now is not the time to short everything. If you want to short, watch SOL around 97 for a test position. BTC and ETH are indeed overbought, but until the trend turns, shorting is just giving away your position. Keep your position light, set stop losses properly, and don't fight the trend.A brief analysis of BTC short-term trend from Dow Theory, Chan Theory, Wave Theory, volume-price relationship, order flow, and price action (strategy suggestions)
Comprehensive judgment
Dow Theory trend officially reversed, confirmed by higher lows + higher highs at close
Chan Theory first buy at 75,607 confirmed, upward stroke initiated
Wave Theory C wave ends at 75,607, Wave ① V reversal target 81,879-83,550
Volume-price relationship + 2.336 billion/37.8 billion = ultimate shakeout confirmed
Order flow price has returned inside VA, buy-side dominant
Price action ultimate shakeout + V-shaped reversal, complete bottom structure
Six-dimensional comprehensive: 75,607 is the ultimate bottom after six weeks of decline, trend officially reversed. Currently in the consolidation period after Wave ① V reversal, breaking through 81,879 confirms a new bull market, target 83,550-84,150. Falling below 78,000 means V reversal failed, requiring reassessment.
$BTC Orbit Daily $SUI The SUI Foundation has completely stopped supporting the price.
After calculating, they only repurchased 1 million tokens throughout the year, but in a single month, over 20 million tokens are unlocked and dumped. A supply-demand gap of more than ten times, trying to put out a fire with a spoon here.
There isn't even a burn mechanism on the market; all newly minted tokens have to be held up by retail investors. With such heavy sell orders pressing down, what do the bulls have to push the price up? Any rebound is just giving shorts an opportunity to sell high and open positions.

👇BTC rebound hits resistance at 81300! Can the bulls continue to push, or will it turn down again?
The US midterm election results have caused the market to readjust expectations. The Democrats took both chambers of Congress, but Trump still controls the White House. In the short term, regulatory bills may face obstacles, and the market is first digesting the pressure from policy uncertainty; but from a medium-term perspective, the division of power also reduces the likelihood of radical policy shifts, so risk assets have repair expectations. Additionally, the Fed policy outlook for December remains tight, and the macro environment is not yet sufficient to support a full bullish stance.
Funding: BTC spot ETFs have seen continuous outflows, with a significant cumulative withdrawal in recent days, and institutional buying has not yet shown clear recovery.
The total supply of stablecoins is contracting simultaneously, with insufficient new on-chain funds. Combined with increased inflows to exchanges, this rally looks more like short covering after overselling rather than large-scale new capital entering.
Sentiment: Market fear has eased somewhat, with the greed index returning near 43, but still far from true frenzy.
Currently, both bulls and bears are cautious, and macro policies and the December Fed meeting remain key variables affecting the market going forward.
Technical: Yesterday BTC made a strong V-shaped rebound, but after the rise, it did not open new space directly and has now returned to a critical position of bull-bear contention.
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ a16z's $HYPE sell-off is still ongoing🤨
In the past 16 hours, a total of 148,145 HYPE has been deposited to major exchanges, with a total value of 12.63 million USD and an average deposit price of $85.26
As the largest external entity holding HYPE, since 10.30 they have transferred a total of 233,000 HYPE, worth over 20.6 million USD. If sold, the profit would be 1.141 million USD#BTC enters JPMorgan's long-term forecast, institutional allocation remains cautious
$BTC $ZEC $XAU JPMorgan Asset Management has included BTC in its long-term capital market assumptions report for the first time, marking a symbolic shift, but this does not mean a bullish stance or a recommendation for heavy allocation.
Baseline expectation: BTC's annualized return over the next decade is 10%, higher than US stocks at 7.5% and gold at 5.5%; optimistic and pessimistic scenarios differ greatly, with the pessimistic path showing negative long-term returns. The cost is an annualized volatility as high as 55%, three times that of US stocks, and significant drawdowns will directly erode compound returns.
Key points:
1. This is only a standalone scenario calculation, not included in mainstream asset allocation models; qualitatively, BTC is still considered a speculative asset, not a portfolio core holding or a standard hedge tool; BTC's correlation with other assets is unstable, making it difficult to use for stable risk diversification.
2. Institutional stance: They acknowledge BTC has long-term return potential but is only suitable for aggressive funds as a small satellite position, not for conservative funds or core holdings. Regulatory, liquidity, and compliance risks remain looming concerns.
3. Market interpretation: This news is more of a sentiment boost, representing BTC being "seen by mainstream institutions," but it does not immediately bring sustained incremental capital; it should not be taken as a reversal signal.
In summary: Wall Street is starting to account for BTC in the long term, but risk control thresholds are high; institutional acceptance is slow and limited, with caution as the main theme.
Brothers, what are your thoughts going forward? The bulls have been well fed these past couple of days…I saw the news and first did a stress test in my mind: if the policy implementation is slower than expected, can the account withstand it? I first consider the worst-case scenario; this is a habit I developed from risk control.
According to the Stand With Crypto page, out of the 435 House seats in the U.S. midterm elections, 397 have been decided, with 226 elected from the crypto-supporting camp; of the 35 Senate seats up for election, 33 have been decided, with 19 from the supporting camp elected. What concerns me more is the mismatch between the policy implementation cycle and the trading risk horizon.
⚠️ The supporter label does not mean agreement on every bill, and the number of supporters cannot be directly converted into bill passage rates; legislation still has procedures, and election results cannot be taken as execution dates; if the market prices in optimistic expectations early, the policy waiting period may become a pressure period for leveraged positions. This is my risk analysis.
My reminder is: ordinary people should first convert the worst single loss into a proportion of total capital, and not let political narratives decide their risk budget for them. #索尼财报前瞻：游戏与音乐业务表现如何？
Sony will release its FY2026 Q2 earnings report before the US market opens tomorrow evening (expected revenue down 5.5%, EPS up 8.6%). The core logic lies in the "scissors gap" between revenue and profit:
🎮 Games (G&NS): Focus on organic profit elasticity
Full-year guidance shows revenue down 6%, but profit target up 42%. Last quarter, PS5 shipments fell 36%, but digital content (85% share) and DLC (29% share) effectively provided a floor. Key points to watch this quarter:
1. Whether PS Plus subscriptions and digital software can continue to grow;
2. The marginal erosion of hardware profits due to rising storage chip prices;
3. After excluding one-time benefits such as last quarter's tariff refunds, whether profit elasticity is still independently supported by the core business.
🎵 Music: Growth is very stable, but watch out for profit margin dilution
Last quarter revenue increased 20%, with strong streaming and copyright monetization. But profit growth (14%) lagged revenue growth. This quarter, focus on: the impact of copyright amortization and content investment on profit margins, and the efficiency of converting incremental revenue into operating profit.
📊 Overall assessment: High probability of exceeding expectations, but "fluff" needs to be stripped away
Currently, 85% of the community is bullish. Baseline judgment: slight outperformance is supported by fundamentals. If the market prices only based on headline numbers and ignores the decline of one-time gains, an expectation gap may form. Key focus is whether management maintains or raises the full-year profit guidance.A crypto market maker raised $12 million in funding and is starting to target Wall Street
On November 2, London capital market company LO:TECH announced the completion of a $12 million Series A funding round, led by MMC. The funds will be used to expand into the New York and Singapore markets.
This company currently serves over 50 institutions, with businesses including digital asset market making, market data, and trade execution.
Its ambition is significant: it hopes to connect traditional financial assets with on-chain markets, laying out all-weather trading and tokenized stocks.
But one detail cannot be overlooked: the currently launched business still mainly focuses on proprietary trading and digital asset liquidity services, while regulated business still requires approval.
I believe the value of such companies lies not in how many tokens they issue, but in whether they can truly provide liquidity and reduce trading costs.
The next round of Web3 competition may not necessarily be won by token issuance projects, but possibly by companies providing trading infrastructure for the entire market. A historical pattern about $BTC and the US midterm elections:
2014: Bottomed 71 days after the election, $170
2018: Bottomed 39 days after the election, $3,200
2022: Bottomed 13 days after the election, $15,500
Afterwards, Bitcoin rose more than 100x, 20x, and 8x respectively from the lows.
Notably, the time needed to reach the bottom has been shortening each cycle.
Will the market offer a similar opportunity again this time?
Historical patterns are worth studying but do not guarantee repetition in the future."No new token issuance"—let me pour some cold water first: this does not equate to creating new demand for $ETH. EEZ launched Rollup X development testnet, demonstrating atomic cross-chain execution, with ETH as the default gas payment. What worries me more is that the market might interpret token choice directly as value increment.
I see two hurdles: what is used to pay, and how many people pay—these are two different things, and the demo itself does not prove demand; if cross-chain calls merely reroute existing operations, then in my estimation, what increases is convenience, not total consumption. The absence of a new token narrative does not mean this enthusiasm will automatically flow to ETH.
Of course, the bulls might be right. If this kind of connection truly enables applications that were previously impossible and attracts sustained usage, I will change my stance and acknowledge its incremental value. I will focus next on actual usage and fee demand, rather than voting on demand based on the phrase "no token issuance."There’s something I don’t understand: The Ethereum Foundation just finished outlining the plan for 2029, yet many people around me didn’t even make it through this morning.
From 10:13 on November 5th going back 24 hours, the entire network saw $983 million liquidated, with 130,900 people liquidated. Shorts accounted for $582 million, longs $401 million. It sounds like both sides suffered, but actually both sides were greedy. The harshest single liquidation was on HTX, a $38 million $ETH long position, gone in an instant.
The Foundation is discussing H*, I*, J*, L, and leanVM. It sounds advanced, but it’s unrelated to accounts. Five years of engineering, five hours of leverage; forcing the former to be the latter is just making up stories for oneself.XSNDK plunged 9.1% in a single day, and the thousand-dollar price cannot hide the nature of a micro-cap stock. Currently priced at 1042 USD, with a market cap of only 21.58 million, 24-hour trading volume of 8.16 million, and a turnover rate exceeding 37% — this is not trading, it's a game of speculation.
Price range is 1017-1150 USD, with volatility over 13%, a typical scenario of controlled chips and retail investors passing the baton. Social sentiment is zero, smart money is net short with zero holdings, indicating professional funds have long exited, leaving only short-term funds chasing highs and selling lows.
The thousand-dollar face value easily creates an illusion of "value anchoring," but in reality, the circulating supply is very small, and a single large order can break through the buy wall. Such tokens lack fundamental support, and their narrative often relies on marketing hype; once the heat fades, liquidity dries up much faster than expected.
Core judgment: liquidity traps in high-priced micro-cap coins; non-professional market makers should avoid entering, as the risks far outweigh the expected returns.The Ethereum Foundation released a Strawmap on X, breaking down the achievement of Lean Ethereum before 2029 into a sequence of forks. At the same time, the market shows the opposite picture: as of 10:13 on November 5, about $983 million worth of liquidations occurred across the network in the past 24 hours, with 130,900 traders liquidated.
In the roadmap, H* is the last fork without Lean features, marking the end of the old paradigm. I* brings leanVM and Lean transactions to the mainnet; the former removes historical complexity unrelated to security, and the latter restructures transactions. J* adds Lean proofs, data availability sampling, and PCS, so nodes no longer have to fully bear the data load but rely on sampling to maintain security and efficiency. Finally, Lean Ethereum is completed at stage L.
The key is not in a single feature but in the rhythm: changes are split into multiple forks rather than one big upgrade. For $ETH, this means acknowledging that the execution layer's complexity can only be offloaded piece by piece.
On the market side, of the $983 million liquidations, $582 million were shorts and $401 million were longs; the largest single liquidation was a roughly $38 million ETH-USDT long on HTX. The two-way liquidations indicate price swings back and forth.
However, current information does not establish a causal link between liquidations and the roadmap; they are just two concurrent lines extending simultaneously. What is truly worth pondering is the time scale: the protocol is priced in years, while positions are priced in hours. The chain sets its goals for 2029, but holders don't survive past a morning. How to choose between CORE, Babylon, and Merlin? Understand the differences of BTCFi public chains in one article
The BTCFi sector is booming, but the underlying positioning of CORE, Babylon, and Merlin is completely different. Many people are easily confused by the unified narrative of "Bitcoin" and choose the wrong track. Below is a comparison of mechanisms, advantages, and disadvantages to help clarify the differences.
📊 Horizontal comparison table
Table
Project Network Positioning Core Mechanism Biggest Highlight Shortcomings Suitable Audience
CORE Independent L1 public chain Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus: Bitcoin miners + BTC stakers + CORE token holders vote to select 21 validator nodes to produce blocks Non-custodial BTC staking, complete EVM public chain ecosystem, tied to Bitcoin miner narrative Only 21 validator nodes, decentralization is relatively weak; BTC only participates in voting and does not provide security backing for the CORE chain Participants who want a complete DeFi ecosystem on an independent public chain and engage in miner narrative games
Babylon BTC staking infrastructure protocol BTC locked in Bitcoin Taproot scripts, assets remain on the BTC mainnet, sharing BTC staking security capabilities with other PoS chains Native BTC self-custodial staking, assets do not need to be cross-chained, relying on BTC itself to provide security to other networks Not a mature general-purpose public chain itself, more like staking middleware, ecosystem construction depends on external networks Users holding a large amount of idle BTC, prioritizing asset security and wanting to stake for yield【Morpho Midnight and Uranium.io: Lending Expansion and the Physical Depth of RWA】
Two on-chain signals, each pointing to a structural direction.
Morpho Midnight's TVL rose 23% on November 5, reaching $163 million. Against the backdrop of a relatively consolidated leading landscape in the lending track, the expansion of the Morpho series, which focuses on institutional-grade risk isolation and customized vaults, represents the continued growth of the "professional lending infrastructure" segment — the pure yield play of the previous cycle is giving way to lending protocols with collateral management capabilities.
Uranium's TVL increased 37.1% to $10.5 million — still small in scale, but the category is worth noting: tokenized uranium. The RWA track is extending from US Treasuries and money market funds to physical commodities. Uranium, as a variety that combines an energy narrative with physical delivery attributes, will be a touchstone for observing the depth capability of "physical assets on-chain" through its tokenization experiment (regulation, custody, delivery chain).What happened? How did it jump to 80,000 overnight?
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权
After the Democrats' big win yesterday, BTC first dropped to around 75,600, then rebounded in a V-shape.
It was stable around 79,000 before sleep, so how did it suddenly surge to 80,000 this morning?
The liquidation map shows:
About 337 million shorts were liquidated breaking above 82,000, and about 919 million longs are waiting to be liquidated if it falls below 79,000.
My judgment:
The area above 81,000 is a resistance test zone, suitable for betting on a pullback after a rebound exhaustion; short positions can be built above 81,000.
Basis:
1. The 81,000–82,000 range is near the 365-day moving average + previous supply wall + a key dense resistance zone repeatedly tested without effective breakthrough; the probability of failure to break through is high.
2. This round of rise mainly relies on short squeeze liquidation + elimination of election uncertainty, lacking sustained spot buying and ETF inflows; it is a corrective rebound, not a trend reversal.
3. After the Democrats control Congress, regulation may become stricter, a medium-term bearish factor.
4. Daily RSI is low, MACD still weak, prone to "false breakouts" followed by pullbacks.
5. The 77,000–80,000 area has dense position costs; surges easily trigger profit-taking and trapped position selling pressure.
6. The current rise is linked to stock market rebound and oil price decline; once macro sentiment cools, crypto is likely to correct first.
Trading advice:
It is recommended to open short positions at the 81,000–82,000 resistance level, targeting around 78,000–79,000; stop loss if it effectively breaks above 82,000, and if it falls below 78,000, look down to 76,000 10x leverage, I'll first calculate the margin without thinking about potential profits: roughly estimated by dividing the notional value by the leverage, the corresponding margin is about $64,700. This monitoring shows that a wallet has newly opened or added a long position on $ZEC, holding 500 coins, with a notional value of approximately $646,900.
I think the key to this trade is not the large amount, but the thin margin for error. If the price moves 1% against the reference price, the position would have an unrealized loss of about $6,469, which is equivalent to 10% of the theoretical margin mentioned above, not including fees. The actual liquidation point depends on the margin mode and additional collateral; 10x leverage alone does not determine it, but the volatility definitely amplifies the principal.
I would choose to be more cautious and not assume the risk is worth it just because a large wallet is going long. Since I can't see their full risk management setup right now, I’d rather observe subsequent position changes first than take someone else’s position size as a source of confidence.$BTC #$ETH $SOL 【Minimalist Chan Theory】
#US Midterm Elections: Democrats Win Control of Both Houses of Congress
I previously wrote that this drop is unlikely to be very deep, with the price hovering around 7.5, because this level is the previous drop's chip concentration area, the lower edge of the pivot, and also the 200-day moving average support. With weekly oversold and multiple supports, a deep drop is unlikely.
I have gradually closed my short positions over the past few days, pocketing 13,000. From both the 30-minute and 4-hour perspectives, this drop is weakening, with the internal structure very full and showing clear divergence. I've been buying the dip at the bottom, riding the roller coaster back and forth, but profits have been giving back and I haven't closed to take profits yet.
Next, I plan to hold this long position for the long term, with an ETH target around 3200 and BTC target around 100,000. The target profit for this long position is 200,000, which will take a few months if all goes well. I will do swing trades and hedging as needed. This rebound is quite strong; now it just needs a pullback that doesn't break the previous low to officially confirm that this drop is completely over. Let the bullet fly a little longer.When I see "continuous profit," the accountant in my head just put on glasses, and the atmosphere team swapped the calculator for glow sticks. The most common misunderstanding in the crypto world: the financial report hasn't been fully reviewed, but the celebration banquet is already booked. 😂
According to the data, Hyperliquid's protocol revenue in the past 30 days reached $66.87 million, ranking first among crypto-native projects after excluding Tether and Circle. I think this is more like a signal of business heat, not yet proof of crossing cycles: its monthly revenue this year ranged from $38.42 million to $74.19 million, with significant fluctuations; if revenue growth mainly relies on market-driven trading stimulation, then how much activity can be retained after the rebound fades will be a real test of the business foundation. This is my speculation and income ranking alone cannot be taken as a seal of approval.
Do you value "peak monthly revenue" more, or "stable revenue during a bear market"? I stand with the latter, after all, a health check shouldn't only measure the fastest heartbeat moments. Meta issues another $15 billion in bonds, the AI boom begins to test real money!
Meta's latest issuance of $15 billion in USD bonds includes some 10-year bonds with yields about 1.6 percentage points higher than U.S. Treasuries. AI infrastructure is still expanding, but financing costs are also rising. Previously, the market worried whether AI could make money; now it also has to calculate: with such large investments, can the returns cover the costs?
Looking at the crypto market, the leader is around $78,453 (+1.28%), the slightly delayed noble is about $2,319 (+1.36%), and SOL is about $92.85 (-0.46%). BTC and ETH have rebounded, but SOL has not kept up; funds are not fully chasing risk.
My view: no matter how big the story, ultimately it comes down to cash flow. The crypto market is the same; don't just chase narratives, watch volume for breakouts, and watch support for pullbacks.

#Meta再发债150亿美元，融资成本上升 When the EUR/USD exchange rate rises, it may be wise to avoid shorting Bitcoin. A weaker dollar often benefits risk assets, and Bitcoin is generally more likely to strengthen. Conversely, when the EUR/USD falls and the dollar strengthens, Bitcoin may be more susceptible to downward pressure. This is not absolute and should not be taken as an entry signal, but it is indeed a macro correlation worth closely monitoring. The key is to trade with the trend, not against it. Bitcoin's Three-Cycle "Bottoming After Election → Rebound" Review
In the history of three midterm elections, $BTC has followed the same path: first a drop, accelerated clearing, then a violent rebound.
Data speaks:
2014 (71 days to bottom)
Election day ~$360 → dropped to $230 (-36%) → next bull peak $20,000+
Rebound: +8,600%
2018 (39 days to bottom)
Election day ~$6,350 → dropped to $3,150 (-50%) → 2019 rebound $13,800
Rebound: +338%
2022 (13 days to bottom)
Election day ~$19,500 → dropped to $15,500 (-21%) → 2024 breaks previous high $73,750
Rebound: +376%
Three patterns:
① Days lagging to bottom decrease: 71→39→13 (market pricing efficiency improves)
② The deeper the drop, the stronger the rebound (2018 dropped 50%, rebounded 338%)
③ Within 12 months after the election, prices are always higher than on election day
Implications for 2026:
Currently, with ETF support + protection fund mechanisms, expected drop is shallower and bottoming faster. If there is a pullback after the election, it is actually a "last dip" layout window.
History does not simply repeat, but it always rhymes After so many years, the nature of the crypto circle has never changed
After a big drop, it's always $BTC that gets rescued first, BTC rises first, and only after it reaches a high and consolidates do altcoins catch up
Today, altcoins generally underperformed BTC in the rebound
Usually at this time, BTC hasn't fully risen yet; once BTC is revived, then it's time to rescue altcoins
If BTC can hold steady at 78000 tonight, altcoins will most likely start catching up afterwards 11.5 SOL Positioning Today

#AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期
Yesterday BTC and gold both surged, and the US stock market overall rebounded, but the storage chip sector fell sharply against the trend, with SanDisk dropping 8 points in one day. Seagate and Western Digital followed suit, the whole sector is being hit hard.
Why? I guess the market is worried that the storage cycle has peaked. It had been rising for over a year, from under 1000 to 2300, and now the funds are starting to exit early. Has the fundamental changed? It doesn't seem so, but stock prices are like this: no top when rising, no bottom when falling.
Personally, I don't dare to catch the falling knife now. Dropping from 2300 to 1000 looks like a big fall, but how do you know how much further down it can go? Storage chips are a strong cyclical industry, and once the cycle turns, the drop is much fiercer than the rise.
If you really want to be optimistic, wait until it stabilizes above 1000 and doesn't hit new lows for several consecutive days. Now? I'll just watch and not get emotionally involved.
What about you? SanDisk has halved from the high point in this wave, do you think it has bottomed out or is it halfway down the mountain?24-hour increase of 18.33%, the last full 1 hour continued to rise by 1.67%, but after the surge, the current price has returned below the hourly close. OKX 02:18 (UTC) snapshot shows $LSK spot at 0.21547 USDT, 24-hour range between 0.18209—0.22296 USDT; the trading volume for the last 24 full hours is approximately 1.8644 million USDT.
The last full 1 hour trading volume was about 120,100 USDT, a slight increase of only 7.04% compared to the previous period; the price touched 0.22296 USDT intraday and closed at 0.21816 USDT, while the current price is even lower. The uptrend remains, but the chasing volume has not expanded in line with the 24-hour increase, so the single-hour continued rise cannot be directly regarded as a confirmed breakout.
OKX does not have LSK perpetual contracts, lacking OI and funding rate cross-verification. If the full hour volume supports a stable hold above 0.22296 USDT, the trend continuation is more credible; if it falls below 0.21121 USDT with increased volume, I would first guard against a pullback after the surge.
* NFA, DYOR$UNI is very strong
1. Because Binance still hasn't opened withdrawals, it means the missing coins haven't been replenished enough. Once withdrawals are opened, the strong opportunity will disappear and it will follow the overall market.
2. UNI and ETH share the same wallet code. ETH withdrawals have already opened, but UNI hasn't, which can help support my judgment.
3. Looking at the UNI spot order book, there really isn't enough buying power.
7.02 million coins were stole#dAfter the Republican Party's crushing defeat, assets related to the Trump family collectively plummeted, evaporating over $200 million in one day!【Brent Crude Falls Below $94, Market Begins Betting on End of US-Iran War】
The core reason for this round of oil price $BZ decline is the rapid dissipation of war risk premium. After the US midterm elections, with the Democrats controlling both houses of Congress, the political cost for Trump to continue military escalation has clearly increased. Vance also publicly linked the Republican defeat to the Iran war. The market is beginning to bet that the US will more actively push for a ceasefire.
Currently, crude oil exports from the Gulf region have recovered to 17.1 million barrels per day, about three-quarters of the pre-war level. If the Strait of Hormuz returns to normal navigation, global crude supply will further improve, and the geopolitical premium previously built into oil prices has room to continue to be unwound.
In the short term, crude oil can be viewed bearish. The Democrats winning the election does not mean the war will end immediately; there is still distance between Iran and the US in reaching an agreement, and US crude inventories unexpectedly decreased by 865,000 barrels last week, indicating that the supply side is not completely loose.
However, before any new military escalation, the dominant logic of oil prices has shifted from supply disruption to ceasefire expectations. Before $100 is firmly reestablished, any rebound looks more like a correction of geopolitical risk premium rather than a new upward trend.
#美国中选改变美伊预期，布伦特跌破95美元 The trading API is currently only open to a small number of whitelisted Alpha users, which is quite interesting, but I'm more concerned about how it will change participation once it moves from a small circle to public access 👀. Variational also disclosed progress on security optimizations, with the public mainnet approaching, the API going live publicly, the TGE planned within the year, and partnership announcements still in the pipeline.
I think this will have a stronger catalytic effect on sentiment in the trading tools sector and we shouldn't just focus on token issuance expectations. My guess is that if the API attracts more automated strategies after going public, there might be more quotes and trading opportunities for highly volatile assets; however, when strategies cluster, it could also amplify short-term volatility, and more activity doesn't necessarily mean better execution for ordinary users.
I will be watching the post-launch trading depth and the spreads during intense volatility, rather than judging by the number of integrations. Regarding this kind of API opening, is the recent focus more on on-chain derivatives or automated trading tools? Which change do you value more? That "fake fall" judgment was immediately voted on by the market with its feet.
As soon as the news that the Democratic Party took control of the House of Representatives came out, $BTC spiked to 75,734, piercing through the daily EMA200. But the panic didn't even last through lunch — at 12 o'clock it stood back at 76,550, now at 78,400, even higher than the 77,880 at the start of the vote this morning. The bearish news is real, the sell-off is real, but the shorts didn't hold.
The real tough battle is overhead: 78,430 to 78,460. The 1-hour EMA200 and 4-hour EMA50 are tightly stacked on this line, and the remaining 56.8 short positions of that 40x short seller have a liquidation price of 78,427.7, just below the line. At 15:25 he was liquidated again, his position shrinking, but he hasn't left yet.
If this line breaks, he is the last fuel; if it doesn't, this V shape is just a short covering encore. Keep your eyes on 78,430, don't blink. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 #CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% #AMD数据中心收入近翻倍，营收及指引均超预期 $66.87 million, this is Hyperliquid's protocol revenue over the past 30 days mentioned in the material, and it's the number I care about most. The report also mentioned that after the election results were finalized, the crypto market rebounded. But rather than a “bullish comeback,” I want to understand: how many barriers remain before this revenue reaches the pockets of token holders?
I run a small company, and of course, I’m happy to see a good turnover, but turnover is not net profit, let alone cash that can be freely distributed. My judgment is: protocol revenue has reference value, but using it directly as evidence that the token is undervalued lacks business logic. Input and output must account for costs, and also consider what sustains the revenue.
The same goes for buybacks; you can’t just look at whether they exist, but also at the source of funds and sustainability. My guess is, if the market cools down and trading demand drops, then protocol cash flow and buyback capacity may both be under pressure. The worst in business is to estimate annual income based on peak season revenue and then spend all risk reserves; when evaluating projects, I also don’t want to mistake hype for stable operations.
So I will treat this revenue as a starting point for further research, not as an answer to “should I get in.” For friends in business, if a company’s revenue is highly correlated with market cycles, how much risk reserve would you require to accept that it can sustainably buy back tokens?When I saw this message, the first thing that came to mind was: security in accounting is usually treated like a cost, but when something goes wrong, it feels like insurance. For me, judging odds can't just be about what is saved in the short term; it also requires considering who bears the tail risk.
According to Bloomberg, the T3 Financial Crime Fighting Alliance, jointly established in September 2024 by the organization behind the Tron blockchain, Tether, and TRM Labs, has quietly disbanded, with no specific reasons disclosed. This alliance had previously frozen $250 million in illicit assets. My judgment is that this deducts points from the stability of industry collaboration but is not enough to directly infer a negative price impact.
There are two reasons. The record of frozen assets shows that such cooperation had actual output; the alliance's exit at least increases the difficulty for outsiders to assess the continuity of collaboration. But without reasons, we cannot tell if this is a change in cooperation format or if parties are unwilling to continue bearing the costs. Betting on one explanation now is risky; the information support is too thin, the odds look tempting, but the probability of success is hard to judge.
In my speculation, if future disclosures clarify how responsibilities are divided, this change would be worth reevaluating; if only the disbandment news comes without explanation in the long term, then interpreting it as a reduced risk is not justified. For ordinary users, losing one alliance does not mean one less layer of financial risk. I will first leave a discount for uncertainty and not rush to count the unknown as a positive.This is the view I wrote yesterday about the future of BTC, which still applies.
There are two core points:
1. After the mid-term elections ended and the results came out, BTC rebounded from 76,000 to around 78,000 at the time of writing the article. How to confirm that this is a rebound?
2. If a main upward reversal trend appears, how to confirm it and how to handle it in practice?
BTC rebounded to a high of 81,000 in the early morning, so now I can clearly answer the above two questions:
First: The price quickly rose and stabilized at 79,600, and has steadily moved upward in the last 10 hours, so the rebound view is invalid. Therefore, I will not do ultra-short-term trading. You have also seen my position; I have just been holding it.
Second: The US stock market opened with volume and directly stood above 79,600. The 1H chart shows a pullback without breaking below, and now the price is running around 80,800, so I am operating according to the main upward trend strategy.
The practical operation is divided into two parts:
Select targets that can be rolled over and targets that cannot be added to (can only be held).
The targets that can be rolled over are still UNI and ETH. Other targets will only have positions established temporarily without moving!First, did I follow the original trading plan?
Second, did I enter the market based on clear criteria, or was it out of fear of missing out?
Third, during the trade, did I temporarily change my rules due to fear or greed?
Fourth, does the risk I took this time match my financial situation?
Fifth, what did this trade truly teach me?
Reviewing trades is not about making excuses for losses, nor about finding more reasons to justify profits.
Its real value is to help you distinguish which decisions are worth keeping and which mistakes need improvement.
4. Summarize weekly to identify recurring issues
Looking at a single trade alone can easily be influenced by chance factors.
But once you accumulate a certain number of records, you can try to identify recurring behavioral patterns.
For example:
Which type of trades perform relatively better?
What were the main causes of the biggest losses?
Did frequent trading lead to excessive fees? After using leverage, was it easier to incur losses beyond expectations?
After consecutive wins or losses, are you more likely to break trading discipline?
Don’t rush to change your entire strategy based on the results of just two or three trades. When the sample size is too small, randomness can be strong, and different market conditions also affect outcomes.
A better approach is to continuously accumulate records and, once you have enough evidence, determine whether the issues stem from the trading method, execution discipline, or changes in market conditions.
5. After each review, implement a specific improvement action The votes for the U.S. midterm elections have all been cast. Asking if the results are out yet requires splitting it into two sentences: the outcome is no surprise, but the official stamp hasn't been fully applied yet.
The last polling station closed in the early hours of November 4th, and states began to focus on counting votes. The conclusions calculated by various U.S. media outlets are roughly consistent—the Democratic Party won big this time, taking back control of both the House and Senate in one sweep.
The House majority requires just 218 seats, and they are expected to secure 245 or more; the Senate has about 54 seats, losing old Republican strongholds like Texas, Ohio, and Kansas that haven't flipped blue in decades, along with a string of governor seats. U.S. media calls this a "blue wave."
Trump's side has also acknowledged this, publicly congratulating and expressing willingness to cooperate with the Democrats, but leaving room in his words: "I'm not on the ballot, so this doesn't count as my loss," and he has already hinted that he will use the presidential veto if necessary.
However, strictly speaking, the numbers you see now are media estimates, not official certifications. States generally wait until mid to late November or even December to officially confirm, and some tightly contested districts may recount or engage in legal battles. The new Congress won't take office until January next year.
In short: the game is decided, the Democrats have swept everything, and now it's just a matter of waiting for the states to finish signing off. #美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 Circle’s Q3 highlights a key distinction: growing stablecoin activity does not automatically mean higher reserve income.
Results released Nov 4 included:
• Total revenue and reserve income: $865M, up 17% YoY
• Net income from continuing operations: $226M, up 5%
• Adjusted EBITDA: $317M, up 85%
• USDC onchain transaction volume: $13.9T, up 49%
• Average USDC in circulation: $73.3B, up 8%
Reserve income fell 8% to $658M, mainly due to a 61 bps decline in the reserve return rate, partly offset by higher average USDC circulation.
Transaction volume measures activity, while balances and reserve yields help determine reserve income. More transfers do not automatically mean higher issuer earnings.
Other revenue reached $207M, including $182M from the ARC token presale. Circle attributed adjusted EBITDA growth to presale revenue and lower distribution costs, partly offset by increased investment in new products.
The presale contribution should be assessed separately from reserve income when evaluating earnings sustainability. This quarter’s revenue mix may not be repeated in future quarters.
Arc public mainnet launched Sept 16 with native USDC integration and 100+ institutional and ecosystem participants. Launch participation is a starting point; sustained activity will offer further evidence of adoption.
Payments expansion adds another perspective:
• Circle Payments Network: $41.3B in annualized payment volume
• Tazapay: over $25B in annualized payment volume, with local payout coverage across 100+ markets
These are payment-volume metrics, not revenue, and should not be added together as an already combined business. Circle’s proposed Tazapay acquisition is expected to close in 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.
The next test is whether payment adoption can support durable earnings as reserve yields and costs evolve.
Which matters most for Circle’s outlook: USDC circulation, reserve yields or payment adoption?
#CircleQ3USDCVolumeUp49% The Democratic Party swept both the House and Senate. I previously said that the day the midterm election results came out was a phase low point. I even placed an order at 75,000, but it didn't execute because the rebound was too fast. Today, let's talk about who's really driving this rally.
$BTC rebounded sharply from the low of 75,618 to above 80,700. It looks fierce, but it's all due to short covering. In the past 24 hours, there was a total liquidation of 822 million across the network, with shorts accounting for 511 million, or 62%. In just one hour, 378 million shorts were liquidated; however, open interest actually dropped 4.36% to 347.7 billion, indicating that the rise is due to clearing old positions, not new money entering. Spot BTC ETFs have seen a net outflow of 1.16 billion over the last three trading days, with institutions selling and retail investors buying. Recovering 80,000 is just a psychological barrier; 82,000 is the real test, and further breakthroughs require new buying pressure.
$ETH is the strongest rebound among the three, standing above 2,400, but the fundamentals are still insufficient. On the same day, spot ETFs still saw an outflow of 85.35 million, and the old story of strong on-chain institutions but weak off-chain remains unchanged; 2,370–2,390 is the support zone to watch. This sharp bounce is due to concentrated short covering, not because institutions have returned.
$SOL is the weakest rebound, with active addresses still around 1.88 million. Adoption after Alpenglow hasn't stopped, RSI is near oversold, but no funds are coming in. It has strong fundamentals but was mistakenly punished by macro factors. When risk appetite returns, it will likely lead the rally. For now, neither flee nor chase.
So overall, this rally is mainly driven by short squeezes. The bull run will only be called when new buying enters the market. #Sony Earnings Preview: How Are the Gaming and Music Businesses Performing?

The path of the position reduction is even more interesting. He didn't dump it all at once; instead, he first closed about $2.2 million, then reopened about $1.8 million, and then closed about $6.2 million again. Close, open, then close again, with a net reduction of $6.66 million. This is not panic; someone is repositioning according to plan.
The prices also match. In these two days, the weighted average closing price of his long positions was about $80,253, and the weighted average opening price was about $80,104, two numbers almost identical.
Looking over a longer period makes it clearer: this address made 42 rounds of trades from September 18 to October 30, with a win rate of about 98%. Over more than a month and 42 rounds, his money is not made by betting on one big move but by taking a very narrow slice each round and repeating it.
My judgment: he is reducing exposure, not changing direction. The $18.1 million long position is still open; the direction hasn't changed. The $6.66 million reduction means he doesn't want to be fully invested at this level. He is taking some profits off the table and leaving room for the next dip.
What’s worth thinking about is that a person with a 98% win rate acts so boringly with just a close and open. Those who survive are often not the ones with the most accurate judgment but the ones who make a little profit each round and then pull back.The big whale on the $SOL chain has been moving goods to exchanges for 10 consecutive days.

The coin that rose 9.3% has only a little over two million USD in the contract pool.
The DePIN sector rebounded 5.79% across the board this morning, RENDER pulled from 1.477 to 1.64, now at 1.614, up 9.3% in 24 hours, leading this batch.
I checked the leverage. Perpetual positions are 1.53 million tokens, equivalent to 2.47 million USD, spot 24-hour volume is 2.83 million USD. The pool is so small that a single order of tens of thousands of dollars can draw a decent bullish candle, which has little to do with the narrative.
The volume is real though. 110k at 22:00, 175k at 23:00, shrank to just over 30k at midnight, then 130k at 5:00, 140k at 6:00, and 110k again at 9:00, with continuous buying, not just a single spike and retreat.
But the fee rate is only 0.005%, half of the 0.01% benchmark. Despite nearly a 10% rise, bulls are unwilling to pay more. Either spot is buying, or no one dares to add leverage here.
I usually watch this kind of structure without acting. It looks good rising, but the relay is insufficient. Wait until the fee rate returns above the benchmark and someone is willing to pay for long positions, then we can talk about whether it’s really starting.
#美国中期选举：民主党赢得国会两院控制权 #AMD data center revenue nearly doubled, revenue and guidance both exceed expectations
$BTC $XAU AMD's Q3 earnings far exceeded expectations, with data center segment revenue nearly doubling year-on-year. EPYC CPUs paired with AI accelerator cards continue to scale up, with AI computing power becoming the core growth engine. Q4 revenue guidance is also higher than expected, driving strength in the computing chip sector after hours.
Positive for AI semiconductors, boosting market risk appetite, but note that the prior gains were significant, so there is a possibility of a pullback after the positive news is priced in.
For gold, this is only a secondary disturbance factor. The resilience of tech company profits indirectly reinforces the Fed's high interest rate support logic, bearish for gold prices but with limited impact. The main market focus remains tonight's ADP report and Friday's nonfarm payroll data, combined with safe-haven expectations from the congressional deadlock.
Considering the current market context
This earnings report is a strong boost for the tech sector but insufficient to change gold's current employment data-driven dynamics. Gold still depends on tonight's ADP and Friday's nonfarm data; if employment data is strong, combined with tech profit resilience and rising rate hike expectations, gold's rebound pressure will increase.
Don't be one-sidedly bearish on gold just because of AMD's positive news; it is only a secondary variable, and the safe-haven premium from the congressional deadlock still exists.
Brothers, share your gold price views in the comments…$SOL Just a glance at this chart makes you sweat for the bulls.
The whale contract long-short ratio has dropped to 29.2%, with the bears holding $382 million in positions, averaging an entry price of $97.2, now calmly enjoying an 80% unrealized profit.
Looking at the bulls, the average price is 105, deeply trapped at the top. What's worse is that the lower the price falls, the more retail investors rush to catch the falling knife, with the 4-hour long-short account ratio stuck at a high level, not moving at all.
A 3.4x leverage position hangs overhead; if it drops just a bit more, this group of high-level trapped positions could trigger a chain reaction of liquidations in minutes.

This morning, I saw the 30th breaking news, the least noticeable one being that the Moscow Exchange will launch BTC, ETH, and USDT spot trading on December 1st.
Russia's largest securities exchange uses the stock market infrastructure for matching orders, with clearing handled by the National Settlement Depository. The details are interesting: retail investors must first pass a test, and each brokerage can buy up to 300,000 rubles per year, about 3,700 USD.
So the scale is symbolic, not about volume. A sanctioned exchange, providing a settlement channel for banks cut off from SWIFT, can only handle so much traffic.
The market situation further illustrates the issue. South Korea's KOSPI dropped over 5% intraday, Nasdaq futures down 1.3%, gold rose 4.3% in one day breaking 4100. Stocks are falling, safe havens are rising, BTC pulled from 76,932 to 81,200, now 80,814, about a 5% increase.
Three assets that shouldn't all rise together are rising simultaneously; I interpret this as pricing in fiat currency depreciation. But volume doesn't support this theory: at 11 PM last night, one 1H candle had 3 million contracts, the previous one 1.48 million, and the following 11 candles combined less than 2.6 million, only 80% of that single candle.
The fee rate is 0.0078%, still below the 0.01% benchmark. BTC rose 5%, yet bulls didn't even pay a premium. This doesn't look like new money entering the market, more like short positions above being cleared, with the price moved to a level where no one is floating a loss.
I tend to see this as a new consolidation zone, not a step up. To really move higher, we need to see a second 3 million volume candle.
