SOLANA'S NEXT “CRASH” COULD BE A CHART ILLUSION. 📉
Oct. 21: $SOL 's Alpenglow upgrade targets ~150ms transaction finality, down from ~12.8 seconds.
Here's the twist: validator votes will disappear from onchain transaction counts. Reported TPS could plunge even if real user activity doesn't.
A lower number on the dashboard may actually accompany a faster network.
Don't confuse fewer counted votes with fewer users.

#DailyOrbit "Halving Node Countdown, How Much Longer Can FIL's Expectations Be Speculated?"
After a round of sharp decline and subsequent recovery, the market seems to have stabilized, but a rebound does not equal a reversal. The biggest risk currently is not how much it has fallen, but the lack of sustained buying in the market. On the eve of the release of macro data (CPI/PPI), incremental funds are insufficient, and high-leverage positions remain fragile. The worst thing at this time is to hastily fill positions just because of a few small bullish candles.
With only one or two days left until the halving node on October 15, the market is preemptively trading on the logic of "buy the expectation, sell the fact." From the chart, the area around 1.27 has already shown characteristics of a phase top, with obvious volume-price divergence and signs of capital distribution.
The upper resistance at 1.2085 (Bollinger upper band) is strong; several attempts have failed to break through, with dense trapped positions. On the downside, focus on the previous low at 1.0703, where current support is weakening. If it breaks down with volume, a new round of downward space may open.
Halving reduces the speed of future new selling pressure but does not mean demand will immediately surge. A volume-less rebound can easily lure buyers into a trap. The 1-hour Bollinger Bands are gradually narrowing, moving averages are suppressing the market, and bullish follow-up volume is insufficient.
Currently, FIL's focus is on the support after halving and the efficiency of recovery after pullbacks.
Don't call a bull market just because it rises a bit, and don't assume a bear market just because it falls a bit. In the current market, whether key levels can hold is more important than sentiment. $FIL $RAY broke below the observed low point, but volume has shrunk
The observation order has dropped from 2.1325 USDT to the current 2.0165 USDT, a decline of 5.44%, and the just closed 5-minute candlestick at 2.0174 USDT also broke below the previously noted reference low of 2.0575 USDT. The price is moving down, but I don't plan to short here.
The key is that volume hasn't kept up. The recent 15-minute trading volume is only 0.63 times the average of the previous 3 hours. This kind of breakdown looks more like a slow decline rather than a volume-driven sell-off. If it can rebound above 2.0575 USDT and then stall, I would be more inclined to see it as a weak retracement; if it directly drops with volume, then I'll consider following the trend. For now, I'll keep the observation order open.Saudi Arabia plans to expand its oil pipeline capacity, but pipeline capacity cannot be directly equated to new export volume.
On October 12, the Energy Minister mentioned plans to increase the pipeline network's transport capacity to 10 million barrels per day in the coming years. Bypassing the Strait of Hormuz is certainly valuable, but this is a construction goal. Aramco's previous official materials also noted that of the approximately 7 million barrels per day capacity of the east-west pipeline, about 2 million barrels are transported to refineries. The figures include domestic use and cannot all be counted as crude oil delivered to the international market.
I think that after the Riyadh airport attack, the most important discussion should be whether these backup routes can operate continuously. Oil entering the pipeline still needs to pass through pump stations, reach ports, and then be shipped by vessels. Having an additional land route can reduce dependence on a particular strait, but the security of facilities along the route and export ports still needs to be considered separately.
The expansion is worth attention. However, the immediate supply risks remain. The completion time, actual flow, and port loading capacity are closer to the amount buyers can ultimately receive than the maximum numbers in the plans.
I hope these investments can stabilize supply. But recently, the energy market has been too quick to treat a long-term project as a solution that can fix problems next week. When discussing oil prices, separating planned capacity, actual transport, and export volume can reduce false reassurance. 10 million barrels is eye-catching, but the actual delivered quantity is what needs to be continuously verified.
#RiyadhAirportAttack, Saudi Arabia accelerates land-based oil transport layout #Tokenized US Treasuries Used for Large-Scale Tri-Party Repo for the First Time This marks the first time a mainstream tri-party repo platform has accepted tokenized US Treasuries as collateral. Key point to note: This trial runs on institutional private ledgers, not public blockchains, and is part of traditional finance infrastructure pilots, not open to ordinary crypto users.
Under the traditional process, US Treasuries settle on T+1 after the transaction, so newly purchased bonds cannot be used as collateral for repos on the same day, resulting in high capital and asset occupation. After tokenization, transaction, confirmation of ownership, and collateral financing can be completed within minutes, improving the turnover efficiency of high-quality collateral, commonly referred to in the industry as an upgrade in "collateral mobility."
Qualitatively, this is a milestone in compliant RWA (Real-World Asset tokenization), meaning traditional fixed income, money markets, and on-chain tokenized assets have connected with institutional standard financing processes. But it should be clear: this is a technology validation, transaction scale has not been disclosed, and it will not immediately change the US Treasury repo market landscape in the short term, nor does it mean incremental funds are directly flowing into crypto.
The medium to long-term significance is greater: if scaled promotion follows, tokenized US Treasuries are expected to become the standard interest-bearing collateral for institutions and compliant stablecoin reserves, continuously strengthening the RWA narrative.
In terms of crypto market impact, it leans more toward a long-term positive narrative; short-term sentiment impact is limited and unlikely to directly drive large rallies in BTC, ETH, belonging to slow-moving variables.
Key follow-up points: whether more large custodians and asset managers will follow through with implementation, and whether regulators will release clearer approval signals. Only continuous expansion will translate into substantial incremental expectations. $BTC $ETH $ZEC The market seemed calm on the eve of the CPI release, but the derivatives structure had already quietly set the direction.
Many people think that before the CPI data comes out, the market can only stay flat. But the contract market structure has actually already secretly chosen a direction.
Are the three major mainstream coins BTC, ETH, and SOL really just waiting for the data to land? BTC is oscillating between 83,000-84,000, supported by positions accumulated in perpetual contracts; ETH sees whales increasing positions against the trend while spot continues to flow out; SOL is stuck near 110, with leverage not yet fully cleaned up.
CPI is a clear catalyst, but the market odds have long been hidden in the contract structure.
If BTC breaks above 84,000, short covering will drive ETH and SOL higher, and altcoin sentiment is likely to recover; if it falls below 82,000, long stop losses will cascade, and support will fail immediately.
Bullish logic: ETF selling pressure weakens + large holders accumulate, so if CPI doesn’t surprise negatively, shorts are likely to be squeezed quickly.
Risks: Perpetual positions are too crowded, and a negative funding rate signals capital withdrawal.
The market is most likely to be led by BTC first; the sideways oscillation before the data release is unlikely to end quietly. $BTC is falling along with the overall market, with the total market cap at 2.82 trillion USD, down 2.47% in 24 hours. Only a few small market cap sectors are showing gains. Looking at Tokenized Pre-IPO Stocks, two Launchpad sectors, and InfoFi together, they all relate to the same thing: issuing new assets and new listings. The market cap is small, so even a little money can push the price up by double digits. Where is the money coming from? USDT market cap is down 0.03% in 24 hours, with no new issuance and no new funds coming in from outside. BTC dominance is at 59.3%, still high, and funds have not significantly moved into altcoins. This is existing capital moving around in small pools. Sentiment is cooling down as well, with the fear and greed index dropping from 71 a week ago to 62. I judge that this round of new listings rotation won't last long. The end signal to watch for is twofold: the 24-hour gains of the two Launchpad sectors both turn negative, and USDT market cap still shows no positive growth. When both happen together, this wave is over.STRK unlocks 127 million tokens monthly for 6 consecutive months, with frequent positive news, yet reasons for easy downward adjustment remain analyzed
Core summary: Unlocking 127 million tokens monthly is equivalent to 6 consecutive rounds of targeted issuance, continuously increasing circulating supply; the positive news belongs to long-term narratives, while the unlocking selling pressure is a tangible supply increase at present. The positive outlook is future expectation, while selling pressure is the realized monthly sell-off, making it difficult for expectations to immediately offset the ongoing dilution pressure.
1. Supply side: 6 consecutive "new share issuances" continuously dilute existing holders' equity
1. For six consecutive months, 127 million STRK tokens are released on the 15th of each month, totaling 762 million newly circulating tokens, accounting for about 10.3% of the current circulating supply, equivalent to six rounds of small-scale new share listings.
Traditional stock markets see one-time private placements depress valuations, but STRK’s monthly phased releases represent a long-term continuous supply shock, not a one-time event.
2. Chip structure differentiation: The unlocked portion includes a large amount of low-cost tokens held by early contributors with very low holding costs; once the price rebounds, there is a willingness to sell and realize profits; although private investors have costs, some institutions also choose to gradually reduce holdings and take profits after market rebounds.
3. The essence of token unlocking: Lock-up is only a temporary freeze; after unlocking, the number of freely tradable tokens in the market increases. When new buying demand cannot keep up with the increase in supply, the value per token is diluted. Even with strong fundamentals and technical narratives, supply-demand imbalance suppresses price.
2. Positive news belongs to long-term narratives, difficult to convert into immediate buying pressure in the short term
1. Market-promoted positives: independent L1 upgrade, native quantum resistance, QSB quantum-secure BTC, BTCFi ecosystem, privacy pools—all are future expectations, mostly without large-scale commercial revenue or user base realization yet.
Positive stories attract long-term funds, but long-term investors rarely enter with large sums at once; they mostly accumulate slowly on dips, making it hard to absorb the potential monthly selling pressure of over 100 million tokens at once.
2. Time lag in positive realization: L1 transformation and quantum resistance technology implementation are scheduled for 2027, coinciding with this unlocking cycle. Before these achievements materialize, positives remain mostly expectations, making it hard to continuously generate massive new capital.
3. Positives are easily front-run: Each positive news release triggers short-term buying, and low-cost unlocked tokens take advantage of the rally window to sell, creating a "positive news equals sell window" effect, causing prices to fall after the positive is realized.
3. Market trading psychology: Clear unlocking schedule overhead, bulls dare not continuously push prices up
1. The entire market clearly knows large unlocks occur on the 15th of each month, an openly verifiable schedule. Major funds and whales won’t actively push prices up continuously; if they do, low-cost holders will concentrate selling, trapping the pushers.
2. Formation of a "rebound ceiling effect": Each positive-driven rebound rises to a certain range, then the market anticipates unlocking selling pressure and reduces positions early. Selling pressure appears with slight gains, making sustained major rallies difficult; oscillating downward trends become normal.
3. Expectations priced in advance: The market often declines before the unlock date to digest the negative impact, not necessarily waiting for the unlock day to drop sharply. Even if a short rebound occurs on the unlock day, the expectation of next month’s unlock will suppress the market again.
4. Overall market environment amplifies supply pressure, positives alone can’t support
1. If the crypto market is generally weak and funds are risk-averse, overall incremental capital is insufficient. Even if STRK has continuous positives, without new capital to absorb selling pressure, the negative impact of increased supply is magnified.
2. Sector rotation: Crypto funds rotate quickly; the hype around quantum resistance and L2 upgrades fluctuates with market sentiment. Once the hype fades, relying solely on fundamental narratives makes it difficult to continuously attract funds to absorb monthly unlocked tokens.Pyth currently relies mainly on two approaches. One is to have exchanges and market makers directly report quotes, which is fast and mostly used in perpetual contract scenarios; the other is selling market data to traditional institutions, which is currently the main source of income.
According to official statements, 94% of RWA perpetual contracts in Q3 use Pyth prices. This figure, when placed on-chain, indeed indicates that it has become the default choice in this niche scenario.
However, being used the most and earning the most are not the same thing. The previously reported $11 million revenue mostly comes from selling to traditional institutions, not from on-chain users paying for these quotes.
The "use" on-chain and the "payment" off-chain are accounted separately. Even if an oracle occupies the majority of on-chain usage scenarios, its success still depends on whether it can sell the same data to off-chain buyers.
When looking at this type of infrastructure, the key is not to remember who has the larger share, but to distinguish: occupying the default position is reputation, but whether you can convert that position into money is what really matters.Stagflation = economic stagnation + inflation occurring simultaneously. Weak employment (29,000 non-farm jobs) indicates the economy is slowing down, and high oil prices (101) show that prices are not coming down. The Fed's nightmare: raising rates to curb inflation will worsen unemployment, while cutting rates to save the economy will add fuel to the fire. Historically, risk assets have performed terribly during stagflation periods; can BTC be an exception this time? Holding ETH for 7 years, he sold 18,000 coins and still holds 41,500 coins.
The founder of POAP, a veteran player who has been on-chain with real-name verification for nearly a decade.
In 9 days, he transferred 18,000 ETH to Gemini, worth $45.86 million.
The latest transaction was today: 10,000 coins, $25.05 million. He sold decisively but did not liquidate all holdings. Currently, there are still 41,500 ETH on-chain, valued at $104 million.
This is not a panic sell; someone is "reducing weight."
Worthalter has deeper experience in the crypto space than most. POAP started in 2018 as an NFT attendance proof protocol. He witnessed the 2021 frenzy and the 2022 crash. Such a person wouldn’t panic over a few bearish candles. Choosing to sell in batches indicates he is managing his position—keeping a base holding and recovering some cash.
But even he is selling, which is worth pondering. What is the market status now? Long liquidations total $193 million, short liquidations $153 million, 89,000 people liquidated, with the largest single liquidation at $4.88 million. Both longs and shorts are bleeding, and whales are reducing positions.
Veteran players don’t predict the top; they only take profits at the right time.
What is the coin you have held the longest? Are you still holding it?

$ETH $BTC $SNDK $MU The U.S. stock market's Q3 earnings season officially kicks off this week.
The first to report are the four major banks, revealing an interesting phenomenon.
Many banks' profit data exceeded expectations,
but their stock prices fell instead.
The market threshold is now very high; simply having good profits is no longer enough to drive prices up.
Investors pay more attention to income structure and the sustainability of future growth.
Next up is the main event: AI technology and the storage sector.
This round of U.S. stock market rally heavily depends on a few tech giants.
Storage companies like Micron and SanDisk, even with strong earnings reports,
can easily face profit-taking if next quarter's guidance falls short of expectations.
Core contradiction:
The market has already priced in the expected rise from AI.
Even if earnings meet targets, it's hard to trigger a big rally;
if guidance is weak, valuations can be quickly cut.
Impact on sectors:
✅ Banking sector: Trading business is recovering, but net interest income is under pressure, mainly fluctuating.
✅ Storage/Semiconductors: Driven by AI computing demand and chip prices, even earnings beats can lead to a spike followed by a drop.
✅ AI giants (NVIDIA, Microsoft): The market closely watches AI capital expenditure returns; if below expectations, a quick pullback is likely.
✅ Consumer stocks: Watch consumer resilience; stocks with stable earnings have stronger defensive qualities.
In summary:
This earnings season is a "big test under high expectations."
Good results don't necessarily lead to gains; even slight misses can trigger sell-offs. #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike disagreements remain unresolved Today, quite a few people in the circle are feeling uneasy, and there's only one reason: BlackRock has moved over 860 coins and more than 50,000 Ethereum into Coinbase's institutional custody account in one go. The first reaction from everyone: Are they about to run?
BlackRock is not a small player; the money raised by its ETFs to buy coins usually just sits with custodians like Coinbase. But once a large amount is moved to an exchange, the tone changes, and the market inevitably imagines: Is it going to dump? Rebalance? Or just relocate?
Coincidentally, BTC just took a hit around 81,000, then was pulled back to around 83,000, shaking people back and forth. CPI is also stuck at this timing, making sentiment more sensitive. This batch is worth over 200 million USD, definitely not small.
But similar scenarios have happened before; moving to an exchange doesn't mean immediate selling. What really matters is whether there is continuous on-chain selling afterward and if there are large sell orders on the order book. As for a bear trap, it's also possible—scare the timid off first, then pull back up. Don't rush to conclusions; keep a close eye on the flow of real money.
#September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike disagreements await resolution
#TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profitability performance to be revealed
#Korean stocks narrow rebound after sharp drop, can semiconductor buying continue? $BTC short squeeze rally, shorts liquidated $43.59 million in 24 hours, accounting for 85.5% of BTC total liquidations, but don't rush to go long 📉.
Above around 87,510, there's $1.721 billion short liquidation pressure; if it really rallies there, it will be another wave of short squeeze; the question is, does the buying power have the strength to push up now?
The correlation between BTC and tech stocks is visibly rising; South Korean chip stocks already dropped a wave a few days ago, AI bubble concerns are not just talk.
Core logic: 81,000 is the lifeline. Holding it means continued grinding sideways; breaking it means shorts accelerate. Set stop loss above 84,500; if it stabilizes above the 20-day EMA resistance zone, I'll admit I'm wrong and exit.
Below, first watch 81,000; if broken, look at 80,000–79,840; further down is the dense long liquidation zone at 79,589; once triggered, it will cause a chain reaction.
What is the biggest fear when shorting? Let's chat in the comments 👇
⚠️ Personal observation, not investment advice.
#September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved For tonight's CPI, I think we shouldn't just focus on the big number "3.6%". The market's current expectations are: September CPI month-over-month +0.6%, year-over-year +3.6%; core CPI month-over-month +0.2%, year-over-year +2.5%. It will be released tonight at 20:30. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmed the release time as 8:30 Eastern Time. This time the headline number is very likely not to look good, mainly because oil prices are causing trouble. Gasoline prices surged in September, and this item alone could contribute nearly 0.3 percentage points to the month-over-month CPI. So if we see +0.6% tonight, don't rush to shout "inflation exploded." I pay more attention to the core CPI. Last month, the core month-over-month was +0.3%, and the market is betting on +0.2% tonight. If it can really be suppressed to 0.2% or even lower, it means the energy price hikes haven't broadly passed through to other goods and services yet, giving reasons for U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar to continue downward pressure, and BTC can also catch a short-term breather. August core CPI year-over-year was 2.4%, month-over-month 0.3%. But if the core directly hits 0.3% or even higher, the nature changes. This is not just "oil prices pushing the headline up" so simply, but inflation stickiness remains. Earlier, the market just started trading "no rate hike in October," but once this data comes out, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar can easily rise again, and risk assets will take a hit. So tonight I will look at it this way: Core ≤0.2%: slightly bullish for risk assets. Core =0.3%: hawkish, BTThe TRUMP team allocation address (Team Allocation) transferred tokens worth $11.78 million to a new address after 12 days, possibly to deposit into an exchange 👀
12 days ago, it transferred $8.87 million of $TRUMP to the address 52RDq…rkaD1. These tokens were later deposited into #OKX through 2 addresses, using a similar method.
Wallet address 2JEPvvG1kACwDJgacgEABnY3uiL7RLRncPW3APjNPNmeI also laughed out loud 😂
Brother Maji added margin again to his ETH long position, pushing the liquidation price down to $2395. He's really determined to be an immortal bull.
It was $2481 before, now $2395. He lost $11.27 million in seven days, and every time there's a crash, you can see Maji getting hit 😂
At 10:05, he still had a profit of $5.46 million, but now the whole account only has $562,000 left. However, this kind of volatility is routine for him...
He added nearly $100 of buffer.
But ETH's current price is hovering around $2500.
25x leverage, 13.65K ETH.
He's only about $100 away from liquidation. With BTC and ETH both down more than 5% in a day, Maji's long position net value dropped from $12 million yesterday to $2 million now, losing over $10 million in a day.
His HYPE, PUMP, and BTC long positions were all stopped out two hours ago, now only the ETH long remains. And this ETH long isn't safe either, liquidation price at $2471, just $40 away from the current price.
Adding margin is basically pouring water into a leaking bucket.
He's not waiting for a rebound.
He's waiting for a "no liquidation" miracle.
The more he adds, the more it shows he doesn't want to admit defeat.
The more he adds, the more it shows—he's actually not far from liquidation.
Young people, don't learn from the whales who "hold positions".
You think he's gambling with his life, but actually he's gambling on how many bullets he still has. $BTC $ETH $TRUTH This morning it plunged directly from 0.0214 to 0.0156, a single 4H candle down -27%, with a long upper shadow. But I judge this is not a sell-off, it's a shakeout.
Looking at the structure: from 10-12 to 10-13 it consolidated sideways between 0.014–0.016 for two days. On the evening of 10-13, a starting K-line with 1.52 million coins opened the move, followed by three consecutive candles up to 0.0202, with volume gradually increasing. The morning's spike candle hit a low of 0.0156, almost exactly retesting the starting point at 0.0155 — a textbook false breakout pullback.
The key is the next candle: 17.6 million coins, the largest volume in the entire segment, closing back up to a new high of 0.0233. If it were a sell-off, the recovery candle shouldn't have a larger volume than the spike candle.
One more data point: funding rate +0.005%, leverage sentiment is not overheated, not a position where longs are being squeezed out.
Of course, this recovery candle hasn't closed yet; 0.0156 is the lifeline of this structure — if it breaks below, then it must be acknowledged as a sell-off. Do you think this bottom can hold? $TRUTHAfter watching this year's Singapore TOKEN 2049 conference, it feels very different from previous years: before, it was basically all about promoting projects, telling narratives, and raising funds; but this year, many traditional finance bigwigs appeared who wouldn't have been thought of before.
I chatted with a few friends and even think that web3 is at a very important turning point.
To summarize with the opening words of Xu Mingxing at OKX NOW: the crypto industry and traditional finance are merging into one system.
Why did the Nasdaq CEO take the stage to share? Why are trillion-dollar asset management giants like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs appearing together? This has never happened before. It shows these big players have seen the trend of crypto merging with traditional finance.
So I think OKX's view is correct: the end goal of Crypto is not tokens at all, but building the next generation of financial infrastructure.
This year, its strategy is clearly to slowly catch up with $BNB: aggressively pushing X Layer, partnering with ICE to tokenize US stocks, etc., all trying to break into the financial infrastructure track.
I bought some $OKB tokens, precisely because I am looking forward to this story. #CheckInWithOKX2049 We all know that to grow a small capital into a large one, you must use the "heavy position + leverage" strategy. However, if this approach is applied to the wrong asset or in the wrong direction, it will inevitably result in total loss. Therefore, my view is: Avoid individual stocks, as they have high volatility and many black swan events, and heavy positions can easily be wiped out by a single crash. Only trade major U.S. stock market indices, such as the Nasdaq 100 index (corresponding ETF is $QQQ). Behind it is a basket of leading tech companies with a survival-of-the-fittest mechanism, which ensures the index will rise in the long term. The index itself will not fall to zero, which is very important. Using "heavy position + leverage" to go long on an asset that is bound to rise in the long term is probabilistically advantageous. How to do it specifically? Here's a suggested approach for reference: 1. In an uptrend (please note this premise), every time the Nasdaq 100 index pulls back more than -3% from the previous high, buy $QQQ call options before market close; 2. Choose contracts with expiration dates >90 days and about 5% out-of-the-money; 3. Take profit when the option value increases by 100%, and stop loss at -30%. In short, using a 3:1 risk-reward ratio, applying "heavy position + leverage" on an asset that is bound to rise in the long term, and sticking to this strategy over time will rapidly grow your capital. Once your capital grows to a certain level (for example, every $100,000 increase), allocate 80% of your account funds to buy $VOO (S&P 500 ETF), and continue rolling the remaining 20% as described above. Repeat this process; this is the easiest way for small capital to grow quickly. Of course, this strategy is not withoutAt the end of 2007, if you had invested 100 yuan each in the Shanghai Composite Index and the S&P 500 and held until October 2026, the S&P 500's 100 yuan would have grown to 532 yuan, while the A-shares would have dropped to only 72 yuan, a loss of nearly 30%. Yet, during the same period, China's economy grew more than fivefold, while the U.S. economy grew just over twofold.
The core reasons: Leading internet companies went public overseas early on, while A-shares required continuous profitability for listing in earlier years, missing the growth phase of companies; the U.S. stock market rewards shareholders through high dividends and buybacks, whereas A-share market capitalization growth mainly relies on new listings, diluting existing shareholders' equity; early A-share listing qualifications were scarce, poor-quality companies rarely delisted, regulatory costs were low, and a high proportion of retail investors prone to chasing rallies and panic selling caused greater volatility.
Good systems do not guarantee stock prices won't fall, but over the long term, they protect shareholder rights. Investors should pay close attention to company dividends, whether equity is being diluted, and the mechanisms for shareholder rights protection.The underlying stock plummeted, but the contract surged — I feel uneasy about the money I made. Tonight’s most surreal scene: the US stock storage sector collapsed. Changxin Storage’s IPO soared 466% on its first day, scaring global storage stocks — SK Hynix dropped 10%, Micron fell 5%, and SanDisk’s stock opened down nearly 5% again. But OKX’s SNDK contract jumped from 1,403 straight up to 1,465, wildly rallying against the underlying stock, now even more expensive than the stock itself. I entered at 1,437, with an unrealized profit of +5.5U. This surge isn’t due to bulls being strong, but because shorts are too crowded: panic selling during the day pushed the contract cheaper than the stock, then when the US market opened with bad news, shorts rushed to cover, pushing the contract price above the stock price. So my choice: pocket the profits first. The stock is falling, Changxin’s competition is real, and there’s a big earnings test on 10/29 — the money made from this mismatch is just temporarily parked by the market, don’t treat it as a sure thing. Have you ever traded contracts linked to stock-crypto movements? Let’s discuss in the comments. Risk reminder: personal live trading record, not investment advice, leverage risk is extremely high, do not copy trades.Short sellers are being systematically harvested
The most tormenting part of this round is not the ups and downs — it's that just when you are sure the trend is downward, the short positions get liquidated; the more it falls, the more you dare to short, and just as you add to your position, a rebound comes.
The midday data clearly illustrates the problem: 5.6 million liquidated in 1 hour, shorts account for 76%; 20.19 million in 4 hours, shorts 71%; 32.85 million BTC liquidated in 24 hours, shorts 78.7%, ETH 63.5%. Those who can't hold on are indeed the shorts.
This is a typical short squeeze spiral: price rises → shorts forced to close positions → buying back pushes price higher → triggers the next batch of forced liquidations, self-reinforcing. The biggest pitfall is mistaking "sharp drops earlier" for "safe to keep shorting later."
But the rebound has a fragile side: spot ETFs saw a weekly net outflow of 679 million, ETH outflow 542 million; Coinbase premium index dropped to its lowest since July, even briefly turning negative. This wave relies more on passive derivative buybacks rather than active spot buying. Coupled with the South Korean stock market plunging 5.5% and tonight's CPI announcement pending, volatility will only increase.
So focus on one thing — whether the pullback after the rally can be supported. BTC holds 81,300–82,000 (where the 400-day moving average lies), ETH looks at 2,480–2,495; if the low at 2,494 holds, the structure continues. If someone steps in, it's buying pressure; if no one does, it's just a false rally.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution I don't know why, but I just feel that $ETH has already peaked this wave.
Brothers, I don't know why, but I've been consistently shorting ETH, maybe it's just a feeling. I feel like this wave has already reached its peak.
Look at the screenshot, I entered a short at 2,510.86, current price is 2,504.83, floating profit 0.71%, the direction is steady. On the order book, there's a large sell order of 399.66 at 2,504.86 above, and another 2.00 at 2,504.87, selling pressure layer upon layer. Below, the buy orders at 2,504.85 are only 54.41, and further down are sparse small orders, the support is as thin as paper.
ETH tried to break through 2,570 to 2,600 three times but failed, Ethereum ETFs have continuous net outflows, institutions are withdrawing; on-chain validator exits have surged, a large amount of staked ETH is waiting to be unlocked, supply pressure hangs overhead. Technically, the MACD death cross continues, volume shrinks, bulls have no resistance.
It's just a feeling, this wave has risen to the extreme, no one is willing to catch the falling knife, the only outcome is a crash. I continue to hold my high short at 2,510.86, with a stop loss above 2,550, and first target below at 2,450. Don't blindly bottom-fish, the rebound is an opportunity to short.
$BTC $ZEC #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved $PONS This token was initially promoted officially to get attention, and then the token issuance platform @ponsdotfamily became popular. But those who have experienced it know that the platform application is actually mediocre.
Looking at the buyback and burn dashboard, there is only burning with no buyback; buyback is zero.
In other words, the official team currently does not want to incur any costs, only wants to sell tokens to make money, occasionally burning tokens they hold to show the retail investors.
The current market cap is still 300 million, the decline is just beginning... $PONS When I had a floating profit of +55%, I didn't reduce my position, and now I'm down 12U.
Last night, the SanDisk contract surged violently, and I made some "nervous money"—the underlying stock was falling while the contract was rising, a mispriced premium that would eventually converge. I understood the logic completely and even wrote it down to warn others. This morning, the floating profit surged to +55%, and I had clearly set a strict rule for myself: once the floating profit crosses the line, move the stop loss to the cost price; if you can't do that, reduce your position by half. I didn't follow any of these rules. Not only did I not reduce, but I even added to my position when I saw it surge in the morning. In the afternoon, the expected convergence happened: the contract price dropped from 1,493 straight down to 1,440, wiping out the floating profit and resulting in a 12U loss.
The most painful part is the accounting: if I had set a breakeven stop loss in the morning, the worst outcome today would have been exiting with a profit. The reasons I didn't set it at the time all sounded reasonable—such a good trend, just wait a bit longer, a pullback is an opportunity. Looking back now, that wasn't judgment; it was greed disguised as analysis.
The harshest trick in the market: first, it gives you floating profits to make you think you're a genius; then it takes it all back the same way, along with your principal. Floating profit isn't real money; only what you pocket counts. Discipline doesn't limit how much you can earn; it ensures you can afford your losses.
Have you ever had moments where you "know you should reduce, but your hands just won't move"? How do you deal with it? Teach me in the comments.
Risk reminder: This is a personal live trading review and does not constitute investment advice. Leverage risk is extremely high; profits and losses are your own responsibility. CPI will be released tonight, here are my thoughts.
First, the conclusion: I tend to believe CPI will meet expectations or be slightly higher than expected; the possibility of it being lower than expected is relatively small.
The reason is simple: currently, $BZ oil prices are close to $110, the US dollar index continues to strengthen, and US Treasury yields are running high. The market's concern is inflation picking up again.
Here are the impacts of three scenarios on $BTC:
1. CPI higher than expected
Inflation pressure might be greater than the market imagines, and expectations for rate hikes may heat up again.
If the dollar and US Treasury yields continue to rise, it would be unfavorable for BTC. The weak rebound near $83,000 yesterday could further deepen bearish sentiment in the market.
2. CPI meets expectations
Not a clear positive, nor a new major negative.
The key is whether the dollar and US Treasury yields continue to rise after the data release. If they keep rising, BTC may remain under pressure; if both fall back, BTC has a chance to rebound.
3. CPI lower than expected
This is a relatively favorable scenario.
The market may reduce concerns about rate hikes, the dollar and US Treasury yields may fall back, and BTC could see a wave of recovery.
But whether the rise can be sustained remains to be seen.
#September CPI released tonight, Fed rate hike disagreements await resolution Tonight at 20:30, the September CPI will be released. The core month-on-month figures of 0.2 and 0.3 are the market watershed.
The overall CPI is expected to be 3.6% year-on-year and 0.6% month-on-month, driven up by energy price increases; the core CPI is expected to be 2.5% year-on-year and 0.2% month-on-month, lower than August's 0.3%.
This is the last inflation data before the Federal Reserve's October policy meeting, with the current market estimate for a rate hike probability at only 17%.
The core month-on-month 0.3% in August directly triggered rate hike expectations. Now the market bets this time will be a single rate hike without sustained tightening.
The key focus is on the core CPI month-on-month:
If it falls to 0.2%, the Federal Reserve is very likely to hold off on raising rates, postponing until December, easing market pressure;
If it reaches 0.3%, rate hike expectations will quickly heat up, increasing uncertainty for the October meeting. CICC regards 0.3% as the threshold to restart rate hikes.
On Thursday, there is also PPI data. Together, these two data points will determine the market's judgment on inflation and Federal Reserve policy.Recently, many people have asked me about the difference between low-volatility dividend stocks and high-yield stocks.
Dividend index funds and picking a few high-dividend stocks yourself may seem similar, but they are actually quite different.
There are three core differences.
First, metabolism. Companies age, and industries change. A high dividend yield this year doesn't mean it will be high next year. The business might decline, and dividends get cut; or the stock price might rise too much, diluting the dividend yield. Dividend indexes have rules to regularly remove underperformers and add new high-dividend stocks. The few stocks you buy manually won't remind you to switch; you have to watch them yourself.
Second, discipline. The index rules are fixed and won't change based on emotions. Don't panic when prices fall, don't get greedy when they rise, and rebalance on schedule. Individuals often do the opposite: they hesitate to sell when prices drop, chase after rising stocks, and end up buying at highs, which lowers the dividend yield.
Third, convenience and cost. Retail investors have limited energy to track financial reports, calculate dividend yields, and judge industry cycles, and they might not even get it right. Dividend indexes package all this work, have low fees, and are transparent.
But that doesn't mean you can't touch individual stocks at all. If you're really willing to spend time building your own screening and rebalancing rules and stick to them long-term, the results can approach the index. The problem is most people don't have the energy or discipline for this.
So the conclusion is simple. If you want peace of mind, buy dividend index funds. If you want to manage it yourself, that's fine, but first write clear rebalancing rules so you don't hesitate when the time comes. $ETH Ethereum sideways at 2507: like an ex who reads but doesn't reply, no CPI release, it stays silent
Sideways doesn't mean no ideas, it's "leverage washed out, ETF not returned, macro not judged" — three forces pinning Ethereum in the 2500 gap.
Why the sideways is annoying:
US ETH ETF 10 consecutive withdrawals (total about 780 million), no institutional inflow, 2,560–2,600 above 2500 is all selling pressure to break even
Futures OI cleared 337 million in five days, fee rate +0.0005%/8h → no crazy longs, no crazy shorts, purely waiting for data
Daily MACD green bars below zero axis shorten, RSI 43–49 → bearish momentum weakens, but no golden cross = no backbone
2,450–2,500 = critical zone, no break on 4H = sideways waiting for CPI
Failing to hold 2,560–2,600 = false strength, don’t be fooled by a single bullish candle
Daily close below 2,450 → 2,355 (100-day EMA) / 2,310 (200-day EMA)
Real direction key: 20:30 US September CPI (overall expected 3.7% / core 2.5%)
Core soft → 10Y back to 5%, ETH surges to 2,650
Core hot → October rate hike pricing rebounds from 18%, ETH retests 2,450→2,350
Bitcoin is waiting for CPI to speak, Ethereum is waiting for Bitcoin to lead. $ETH It was still red during the day, but now both have turned green. While the price is dropping, money is also withdrawing from the contracts — this is more worth pondering than just a simple decline.
In four hours: BTC open interest dropped from 2.56 billion to 2.48 billion, ETH fell from 1.7 billion to 1.5 billion. The long-short account ratio also retreated together, BTC from 1.92 to 1.52, ETH from 2.63 directly down to 1.54.
Price is falling, positions are reducing, and the number of long accounts is decreasing. My first reaction is to wonder who actually supported this rebound. Saying it's all short covering lacks enough evidence now; but I'm quite sure no new money came in. No one added positions during the rise, and everyone ran when it turned down — that's not genuine demand.
Levels: BTC resistance at 84,000–85,000, support at 82,000–82,500. ETH resistance at 2,580–2,600, support at 2,500–2,520.
I'm watching the ETH level more closely. Its previous support has flipped to resistance; if it can't reclaim the 2,580 area, the previous move was just a rebound, not a reversal.
CPI at 8:30 PM Wednesday, I won't make moves before or after, fearing a spike. If it really breaks through, I'll wait for open interest to catch up first — if money doesn't follow, I won't chase no matter how high the price goes. $BTC $ETH
*The above is personal analysis only and does not constitute investment advice*Conclusion first: This time it "stood back up," but hasn't "held its ground" yet — the real threshold is $2,590. ETH rose from $2,433 yesterday to a high of $2,539, closing at $2,515, a single-day increase of +3.58%, with a trading volume of $324 million, making it one of the strongest performers among major coins. But its situation is the same as BTC: it reclaimed the 7-day moving average ($2,505) but is stuck below the 14-day moving average at $2,590. It just lost $2,500 yesterday and took it back today, showing a back-and-forth tug of war. Looking at the structure: Spot price is $2,515, perpetual contracts are aligned, no de-peg. Open interest is about $1.398 billion; funding rate is +0.00744%, mildly positive. Price is up and funding rate is positive, indicating ETH bulls are a bit more aggressive than BTC bulls — but not overcrowded. The structure is relatively healthy. Looking at the position: Currently at $2,515, above the 7-day ($2,505) and 60-day ($2,504) moving averages, but below the 14-day ($2,590) and 30-day ($2,611) moving averages. The 14-day high is $2,778, and the 14-day low is $2,406. In other words, it is stuck between the 7/60-day and 14/30-day moving averages, with the upper moving average resistance zone ($2,590-$2,611) being its critical line. Market cap is $306 billion, ranked 2nd. ETH's DeFi, stablecoins, RWA Strive’s acquisition of 3,311 BTC stands out because it’s backed by a financing structure offering a 15% cumulative dividend on preferred shares. This could support faster Bitcoin accumulation, but it also creates greater pressure to maintain cash flow during periods of market volatility.
Compared with Strategy, the key difference is clear: growing Bitcoin reserves isn’t just about conviction — it also depends on the cost and sustainability of funding.
#DailyOrbit Don't just focus on the small inflows over 24 hours; that's an illusion.
What you really need to watch is where the money is moving on the weekly level.
ETH and ZEC show some short-term inflows, but stretched to a week, funds are all flowing out.
$BTC shows a 5-minute net inflow of +12.87 million, 4-hour net outflow of 51 million, 8-hour net inflow of +28 million, and 24-hour inflow of +115 million. But on the weekly scale, there's a net outflow of 1.956 billion, which is weighing it down.
$ETH has a 4-hour net inflow of +155 million, 8-hour +175 million, and 24-hour +200 million. It looks like a short-term return, but the weekly net outflow is 3.28 billion; the big money hasn't come back at all in the mid-term.
$SOL shows 4-hour +11.19 million, 8-hour +19.34 million, and 24-hour +36.92 million. A mild return flow, no bearish trend formed yet, but the weekly net outflow is 516 million, so don't get ahead of yourself.
$ZEC has an 8-hour net outflow of 22.65 million, 24-hour +36.84 million, and a weekly net outflow of 299 million; the big money is still moving out.
My view is: there is short-term neutral closing/bottom-fishing capital returning, but all four coins show net outflows on the weekly chart; the rebound is not a reversal. Want to chase longs? First see if the weekly funds agree. Wait for CPI and PPI to be released and confirm that the big money is truly coming back before making a move. #SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved Against the backdrop of the market widely expecting a pause in rate hikes in October, cross-market traders known as greater-fools are still increasing their bearish bets on BTC.
This account has cumulatively invested about $4,381 from yesterday to today, adding two new BTC bearish predictions in the prediction market: - "BTC falls to $65,000 by the end of the year" Yes: added about 11,000 contracts, invested about $2,639; current total position about 136,100 contracts, implied probability about 22.5%, position value about $30,600. - "BTC falls to $70,000 by the end of the year" Yes: added 4,510 contracts, invested about $1,742; current total position about 55,800 contracts, implied probability about 35.5%, position value about $19,800.
Meanwhile, this account still holds a short position of 26.97 BTC on Hyperliquid, with a nominal value of about $2.2528 million, an average price of about $69,962, and a current unrealized loss of about $365,200. After the US September CPI is released tonight, if inflation exceeds expectations and drives the market to reprice the tightening path, it may become a short-term pressure source for BTC. #TradingVoice: Your experience deserves to be heard $BTC Tonight at 8:30, the whole market is waiting for a number
Tonight at 8:30, the US September CPI will be released. This is the most breath-held moment in the market this week: the expected overall annual rate is 3.6% (August was 3.4%), and the core annual rate is 2.5% (August was 2.4%). Oil prices have pushed the overall rate higher, but the Federal Reserve is really focused on the core month-on-month — expected to be 0.2%, slightly slower than August's 0.3%.
The interesting point is here: the market is never really trading the number itself, but the "expectation gap." The overall 3.6% looks scary, but everyone knows it's caused by oil prices; if the core month-on-month 0.2% is realized, it would actually be a cooling signal. Currently, the market prices in about an 80% chance of another rate hike in December. Tonight's number will decide whether the question is "to hike or not" or "when to hike."
BTC is now hovering around $83,000, ETH around $2,500, and the whole market is waiting for 8:30. Volatility is intense before and after the data release; on nights like this, surviving is more important than guessing right. Will you be in front of your screen at 8:30 tonight?
Risk warning: Volatility is intense before and after macro data releases; participate cautiously. For reference only, not investment advice.
#BTCI currently have a somewhat cautious view on Bitcoin.
The real danger is not that the price drops when bad news comes.
It's when good news arrives, but the price fails to rise.
On October 7, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of $485 million.
On October 12, another $65.4 million flowed out.
This indicates that at least during this period, institutional funds have not yet formed a sustained buying momentum.
Today, the market is waiting for the US CPI.
But I am more interested in how Bitcoin will move after the data is released.
If inflation is lower than expected, US Treasury yields fall, but Bitcoin still can't break higher, then I would suspect there are still a large number of holders waiting to exit above.
Conversely, if inflation exceeds expectations, Bitcoin doesn't fall, and ETF funds start to flow back in steadily, then that is worth serious study.
I increasingly feel that trading is not about guessing the news.
It's about observing how much the market is willing to pay when faced with the news.
If the price doesn't fall on bad news, someone might be buying.
If the price doesn't rise on good news, someone might be selling.
Often, the price's reaction to the news is more valuable than the news itself. Nightclub Girl's Diary of Getting Out and Trading Crypto
Tonight's CPI focus isn't really about whether the core is 0.2 or 0.3, but rather the rare divergence in fund flows among BTC, ETH, and gold.
$BTC: Institutional funds are retreating. The premium index has turned negative, with U.S. capital taking profits; however, the number of addresses holding 100–1000 BTC on-chain has hit a new high, and whales have accumulated over 80,000 BTC in three weeks. Long-term holders are supporting the bottom, but short-term incremental buying is lagging.
If the core CPI is 0.2%, BTC is likely to surge to test 84,000–85,000; if the data exceeds 0.3%, bulls around 81,000 will probably face a new round of liquidation.
$ETH: ETFs continue to bleed. Last week, spot ETFs saw net outflows exceeding 500 million, with BlackRock alone accounting for nearly 500 million. However, leverage has dropped to a seven-month low, funding rates have turned negative, and now shorts are paying to hold positions. As long as key support holds, short covering might trigger a rebound, but the prerequisite is that ETFs stop bleeding funds, and that signal has yet to appear.
$XAUT: Futures speculative funds are exiting, but long-term allocation funds keep entering. Gold ETF holdings keep increasing, with Q3 net inflows hitting a historic high; central banks worldwide have increased gold reserves for 23 consecutive months, with September's increase being the strongest in this cycle.
BTC's opponent in the game is on-chain whales, while gold's backers are central banks. The patience and holding logic of these two types of funds are completely different. Announcement content: Countdown 1 day! The familiar trading experience, a brand new on-chain stage. Exchange OS on-chain perpetual contracts & spot trading will launch a 30-day public beta, and related experience tasks will simultaneously be available in the Prophet S3 season. Stay tuned. From the underlying infrastructure to diverse trading scenarios, the on-chain trading ecosystem continues to evolve; the next generation of trading is now on-chain. My conclusion: This is the most important product launch for Exchange OS since the whitepaper release in May, and it is a truly meaningful substantial benefit for OKB. What this means: 1. Prediction markets can only prove that Exchange OS can run a simulated market; perpetual contracts are completely different, requiring simultaneous verification of: matching, margin, liquidation, mark price and oracle, risk limits; profit and loss settlement; unified accounts between spot and perpetual; system stability under extreme market conditions. 2. The official original design was to sink matching, margin, liquidation, settlement, and risk control to the protocol layer, allowing different venues to share this underlying system. 3. Therefore, these 30 days are not an ordinary operational event, but the first time the Exchange OS core trading engine undergoes public user, public order, and public stress testing. Once this system can run stably, external builders will no longer need to rebuild matching, liquidation, and risk management systems themselves; they only need to focus on asset selection, front-end, branding, users, and market operations. What level is this for OKB?Today's market focus is undoubtedly the upcoming US September CPI data release. Currently, the rebound in energy prices, volatility in AI-related stocks, rising oil prices, and long-term US Treasury yields could all push overall inflation higher. For $BTC, we need to pay closer attention to three specific things:
First, how much does the actual data differ from market expectations?
Second, is there a synchronous change in core inflation? If overall inflation is mainly driven by energy, the market's interpretation might differ from a broad rise in service prices and core inflation.
Third, after the data release, how do the dollar, Treasury yields, and risk assets react? If the data is high but the market has already priced it in, prices may not continue to fall; if the data meets expectations but is accompanied by rising yields, the market might reassess the interest rate path.
Therefore, Ajian views the CPI as a checkpoint to test market expectations rather than a reason to pre-determine direction. Especially since volatility may amplify around the data release, it is crucial not to ignore position sizing and stop-losses just because of a breaking news alert. #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution $TRUTH 24h +30.5%, but it has already dropped 14.5% from today's highest point.
I split this position into two accounts.
The first account is for those who caught the morning dip at 0.015005,
current price 0.01997, they have an unrealized profit of 33.1%—
this account is in the green and can be cashed out anytime.
The second account is for those who chased the high at 12:00 at 0.023348,
with the same current price, they have an unrealized loss of 14.5%—
this account is in the red and if they can't hold, they have to cut losses.
The current price 0.01997 is stuck between these two groups,
standing at nearly 60% of the 24-hour range,
14.5% below the high and 33.1% above the low.
Looking at positions: the long-short ratio of large holders dropped from 1.345 to 1.262,
four consecutive declines, big money is withdrawing.
Retail investors at 0.70, nearly 60% of accounts are short.
Funding rate +0.042%, longs are still paying shorts.
At the high level, some are closing positions, not buying more.
My view: no participation at the current price.
MA20 is at 0.0191, this is the current line; if volume breaks below, look downward;
if bulls want to speak, they must reclaim 0.0211.
If they can't reclaim it, treat this wave as a pullback.

The counterparty is the one taking these added positions.
If the price doesn't reverse, all the grid's buy orders become others' selling outlets.
Only the two quick in-and-out trades actually got the direction right.
The grid doesn't predict direction; it only bets that the price will return.
During the period when the price doesn't return, it keeps adding to the position.
#BTC spot ETF sees net outflow again, can institutional buying recover?
#$NEAR $MET The higher the hype of the new narrative, the easier it is to trigger a capital realization market.
Just showing the current 20x short position floating profit of +249.82%.
The logic is very clear: the short-term market is entirely an emotional rise driven by rotating hotspots, and the project's fundamentals have not made any substantial breakthroughs. During the market's surge phase, spot funds are weak in following up, and the upward momentum mainly relies on contract leverage funds pulling it up. Open interest continues to climb, with a large number of trend-following longs concentrated in the high range. Once the theme's heat fades, profit-taking will quickly drive the price down. #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved
Key observation: The market for small-cap coins comes quickly and goes quickly; positive news often marks a capital exit point. Continuously monitor sector capital flows and long liquidation ranges. Under 20x leverage, be wary of sudden short-term short squeeze pulses; stop-loss rules must not be relaxed. $DOGE $SNDK Nightclub girl's diary of getting into crypto trading
Tonight's CPI is the verdict on whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in October. If the core inflation data doesn't explode, Bitcoin can catch a breather; once the core month-on-month hits 0.3%, the critical 82,000 level becomes dangerous.
Let's first look at the market's current betting direction. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in October has dropped to 17%-18%, with over 80% chance of maintaining the current rate.
But what really decides the market tonight is the core CPI month-on-month. The market expects 0.2%; if the data meets expectations, the rate hike anticipation won't heat up, and Bitcoin has a chance to rebound around 82,000, touching 83,500.
However, if the data reaches 0.3%, the judgment of economists at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce will come true: many items still grow above 3%, and the expectation of a rate hike in October will directly revive.
Don't heavily bet on direction tonight; CPI data can cause violent spikes, and both bulls and bears are prone to stop-loss triggers. Wait for the data to settle before assessing market strength.百倍多空皆是双刃。$SOL 开109.06现107.36，155%收益耀眼，但百倍下回撤1.5%即吞半利。

$SNDK Micron leads the sell-off, and a technical announcement from Changxin directly stirs the entire storage sector.
The storage sector faces another correction. Micron has been weakening for days, retreating nearly 20% from its high, while SanDisk has fallen even more sharply, performing poorly both pre-market and during trading hours. Capital is clearly fleeing the sector. There isn't just one trigger for the decline: Korean storage stocks are catching up on losses, the support effect from major companies' stock buybacks has disappeared, and most critically, Changxin Storage announced new progress on 4F² technology.
Changxin revealed that by the end of the year, it will launch server DDR5 RDIMM using a 4F² architecture paired with its self-developed VSG transistor. The storage cell size is smaller, chip density higher, directly targeting the most profitable markets of servers and high-end AI memory.
With this news, the market immediately reevaluates the industry landscape. Domestic storage is no longer just about low-end substitution; the high-end track is rapidly catching up. The market's concern is not only the current competition but also the product price pressure from capacity expansion after 2027. The company's fundamentals still look strong, but valuations have already priced in expectations of the industry's peak.
This adjustment is very representative; the company's fundamentals haven't collapsed, but the market's speculative logic has changed. Previously, capital bet on continuous AI demand explosion and tight supply; now, domestic technology and capacity have become new variables.
SanDisk mainly focuses on NAND flash memory, so theoretically Changxin's DRAM technology breakthrough shouldn't directly impact it much, yet it still fell sharply. This shows how strong the emotional sell-off driven by sector linkage is.#September CPI announcement is imminent, Hamak says further rate hikes are still needed
Gold is weak, and the CPI data will be released tonight at 20:30, but it can be seen that the market's bet on the probability of a Fed rate hike has slightly increased from about 19.5% yesterday to 23% 🤔
Since the Fed under Powell is different, the cancellation of "forward guidance" makes data like CPI more "sensitive"
It can be seen that IBIT and BTC ETF opened high, but there seems to be some pullback at the close
If CPI is lower than or meets expectations, and Middle East tensions ease, gold is expected to rise, but if hawkish signals appear or performance worsens, gold $XAU has a high probability of falling. However, 3950 should be a strong support level and was the last "phase bottom." Pay attention to risk!CPI is just a facade; tonight the real factor deciding Bitcoin's fate is oil!!
At 8:30 PM tonight, the US September CPI will be released. On the surface, it’s about inflation, but in reality, it’s about oil prices.
Brent crude is currently $106, just over $60 at the same time last year. With the Middle East conflict escalating and oil tankers frequently attacked, oil prices simply can’t be suppressed.
In August, US gasoline prices rose nearly 30% year-over-year, pushing CPI to 3.4%. The market expects 3.7% this month.
But core inflation, excluding oil and food, was only 2.4% in August, and the expectation for this month remains 2.4%, unchanged.
In short, this round of inflation is almost entirely driven by oil.
This is where the Federal Reserve’s difficulty lies. Interest rate hikes can suppress spending but can’t control missiles in the Middle East. If oil prices don’t come down, CPI won’t either. The market now prices in nearly a 90% chance of another rate hike in December.
US Treasury bonds are already struggling. The 10-year yield is at 5.21%, nearly hitting a 24-year high at the start of the month.
This is most critical for the crypto market. With over 5% yield in US Treasuries, who would risk investing elsewhere? Bitcoin tried to break 84,000 four times but failed, and this is the root cause.
Tonight, we’re watching two numbers:
If total CPI exceeds 3.7% and core inflation rises, it means oil is starting to transmit inflation elsewhere. Rate hike expectations will rise again, US Treasury yields will push to 5.3%, and Bitcoin will have to look lower.
If total CPI is high but core remains at 2.4%, then it’s just an oil issue. Most likely no rate hike at the end of the month, US Treasuries can catch a breather, and Bitcoin can relax a bit.
#SeptemberCPIReleasedTonight FederalReserveRateHikeDisagreementPending 7 days left, and this wave of rise from 75,000 to 87,000 has lasted for a month.
When I was browsing X today, I indeed saw quite a few bloggers complaining about the poor market.
This wave will either have another big rise or another big drop.
Perhaps only the release of important economic data can break this kind of market.
Will tonight's CPI release bring a significant breakthrough to the crypto circle?
Currently, three signals can be observed:
1. BTC is mainly fluctuating around 83,000 USD before the CPI, the market is waiting for the data rather than having formed a clear one-sided trend.
2. The market generally expects overall inflation to heat up, so simply releasing a 3.6% year-on-year CPI may not be enough to cause a sustained decline.
3. The US dollar index weakened earlier, and BTC also rebounded, but this does not yet prove that funds have fully turned bullish.
There may be a large fluctuation in the market before and after tonight's CPI release, so I probably won't heavily bet on either side unless I really see a major breakthrough.
