I bet No, and the underlying logic behind this judgment is not that the financial report is bad; on the contrary, the financial data is very strong.
First, the AI storage theme had already experienced a big rally before the financial report, so the positive news was largely priced in by the market, turning the good news into bad news upon realization.
Second, although the current revenue and orders are outstanding, storage is a cyclical sector.Bitcoin is around 77,200 today, basically moving sideways all day with very small volatility. This sideways movement is meaningful because it occurs on the second day after a sharp drop and under the premise that there are no new negative news from the Binance incident, indicating that the 77,000 level has real market support. However, it should be clear that the current sideways movement is fragile because it lacks volume support; it is a "no one trading" sideways rather than a "bull-bear balanI divided the stolen 6.3 billion this time into three piles: frozen stablecoins, unfrozen BTC and ETH, and user balances covered by the company's own funds.
The first pile, about 3 billion, is blocked by the issuer; the second pile is still in the hacker's address, 18,270 bitcoins neatly bundled in groups of 1,000 and untouched; the third pile is paid by the exchange itself, with the announcement stating coverage of about 95%.
Treating the third pile as if the first and second piles have been resolved would underestimate the risk. Users' accounts haven't lost money, but that doesn't mean the on-chain assets have been recovered. My judgment: the real tail risk lies in those native coins that cannot be frozen, not whether the withdrawal button is enabled or not.Is Apple becoming tech’s new safe haven? 🚨
As AI computing stocks like $SOXL and $SNDK face valuation pressure from rising oil prices and inflation fears, investors are seeking safer options. Capital isn't leaving tech—it’s simply shifting away from volatile AI infrastructure toward more defensive names like $AAPL.
#AppleQ4iPhone18Outlook I went all-in with my XP and bet NO. My view isn't that SNDK's earnings are weak—they're actually impressive. But the AI storage rally had already priced in much of the good news. As a cyclical sector, future guidance matters more than strong past results. With storage and optical hardware also facing pullback pressure, I’m betting on a classic sell-the-news correction rather than another rally.

#BTCMarketSignalsDiverge Bitcoin's last three cycle bottoms all occurred shortly after the U.S. midterm elections. 2014 → 71 days later; 2018 → 39 days later; 2022 → 13 days later. The next U.S. midterm election will be held tomorrow, November 3. If this pattern repeats, then the end of 2026 to early 2027 could be a window worth watching.
The next cycle bottom. The three examples show an interesting pattern, but they do not prove that the elections drive the cycle. How serious is Binance's risk this time? Because many big players in the crypto circle, A8A9, with assets ranging from tens of millions to over a hundred million, they all treat Binance as a bank to store their coins. Although everyone is currently saying they support Binance, at the moment withdrawals are opened, they will run faster than anyone else, immediately moving their funds into cold wallets. So the only solution for Binance now is not to delay withdrawals, but to limit withdrawal amounJust saw this set of data: the total trading volume of prediction markets in October reached $123.3 billion, with Kalshi accounting for about 80%; Polymarket's US platform had nearly $10 billion in trading volume in October, an increase of about 15% over the previous record. The numbers are huge, but as someone running a small company, I’m used to first checking the books.
My judgment is that the sector's heat has indeed risen, but the trading volume alone cannot directly prove that the business model is working. Revenue is not profit; it’s like the cash register ringing nonstop in a store—after deducting customer acquisition and operating costs, how much is left is the real return on investment.
I’m more concerned about the cash flow after the excitement. The data shows that the US midterm election market’s trading volume exceeded $1.4 billion. If users mainly come for big events, then whether they stay after the event ends and whether the customer acquisition costs can be recovered are the operational issues I would focus on. This is my speculation, not a conclusion already given by the data.
Kalshi’s roughly 80% share also indicates that this round of growth is uneven. I wouldn’t take the industry’s total volume as the opportunity for each platform directly. Doing business requires keeping a risk reserve: if trading enthusiasm declines but fixed expenses can’t be reduced, the bigger the revenue, the easier it is to overlook this account.
If you were running a prediction market platform, which risk would business-minded friends worry about more: user loss after big events end, or pushing customer acquisition costs higher and higher just to grab market share?Tomorrow is the US election, but the crypto community is waiting for a "curse" that has hit four consecutive times!
Is Bitcoin about to repeat historical patterns?
After the last four US midterm elections, Bitcoin without exception has experienced significant declines. What's even stranger is that the drop has narrowed each time, yet it has never escaped this hurdle.
Here are the data:
2010: down 72%
2014: down 65%
2018: down 52%
2022: down 27%
Looking only at the fourth quarter of election years, 2014 saw a 16.7% drop, 2018 a sharp 42.2% plunge, and 2022 a 14.8% decline. In the last four midterms, Bitcoin closed lower three times.
Even more coincidentally, the previous three cycle lows appeared 71 days, 38 days, and 13 days after election day, respectively.
Is this going to happen again?
However, after CoinDesk analyzed the data, an interesting reversal was found: what really deserves caution may not be the US midterm elections themselves, but Bitcoin's own four-year cycle.
The Nasdaq did not show a similar pattern of decline, while Bitcoin's three previous major bottoms highly coincided with its halving cycles.
In other words, the elections may just coincidentally fall within the time window of cyclical declines. What truly drives market adjustments may not be the votes, but the cycle.
So, where exactly does Bitcoin stand this year?
The current market situation is indeed far from optimistic. The market is heading into a week where macro uncertainty and leveraged positioning could make every move more aggressive.
BTC is hovering around $78.3K, ETH around $2,290, and SOL near $94.7. The liquidation picture is particularly interesting because BTC has substantial liquidity sitting on both sides.
#USOctJobsReportInFocus In the early morning, I analyzed a set of long and short borrowing data, and the more I look, the more uneasy I feel!
BTC, ETH, and SOL long borrowings are simultaneously piling up, with leveraged long positions becoming increasingly crowded, while shorts are almost inactive.
When the vast majority of leveraged funds are on the long side, there is often hidden liquidation risk, making a rapid shakeout very likely.
$BTC: Long borrowings 1507 BTC, short borrowings 68.54 BTC
$ETH: Long borrowings 16,400 ETH, short borrowings 874.9 ETH
$SOL: Long borrowings 119,500 SOL, short borrowings 3430.47 SOL
This is only a data review record and does not constitute any investment advice.
#OctoberFOMCApproaching, what uncertainties remain with the Fed pausing rate hikes? $86.7259. Remember this first. Don’t rush. ⚡ This is the reference price for shorting $HYPE in this trade. Core Trader 25 used 10x leverage, with a nominal position of about $863,400.
My judgment: The key thing to watch here is the price gap, not how big the short position is. Receiving the news doesn’t mean the entry window is still open. If you see the price has already dropped a bit by the time you get the news, chasing the short means selling at a lower price in the same direction; any slight rebound afterward could wash you out first. Even if you guess the direction right, you can still get the timing wrong.
According to my short-term trading habit, I’d first see if the rebound weakens before deciding whether to test the position; exit conditions are set in advance, and if the expected continuation doesn’t appear, I’d pull out. This is my response plan, not saying the market has already moved this way. Suppose when the news hits, the price is already 1% below the reference price—would you wait for a rebound to find an entry point, or just skip this opportunity altogether? Long $HYPE with $171,600, many people at first glance would think large capital shows confidence. I, on the contrary, do not take this 10x long position as a strong bullish signal.
Think about it the other way: first, roughly calculating with leverage, the initial margin is about $17,200, so the nominal position size does not equal the actual investment; second, if the price moves 5% against you, the loss would eat up about half of the initial margin, leaving little room to withstand volatility. Those who disagree, come argue: is the nominal size of this position enough for you to ignore its leverage risk?$ETH is currently priced at 2,292.56 USDT (+1.18%), with the 4-hour MACD forming a golden cross below the zero line, red bars expanding, indicating short-term momentum recovery. However, the upside is constrained by dual resistance from the Bollinger upper band (2,298) and SUPERTREND (2,341), making the rebound difficult.
The capital flow is showing extreme divergence. Ethereum spot ETFs have seen a cumulative net outflow of about $1.6 billion in October, bleeding for five consecutive weeks, with BlackRock alone accounting for about $1.4 billion; meanwhile, on-chain whales are accumulating against the trend. On November 2, multiple addresses aggressively bought, with one whale purchasing over $34 million in a single day, and another whale buying nearly $63 million within 5 hours, with costs concentrated between 2,270-2,290. Institutional channels are withdrawing, while large off-exchange funds are stepping in.
Mid-term bullish signals are emerging on the ecosystem side. ENS v2 has officially launched on the Ethereum mainnet, and projects like Synthetix are returning to L1. With the mainnet gas limit increased and transaction costs falling, the "return to mainnet" trend is strengthening ETH's L1 value capture capability.
Key levels: The upper range of 2,298-2,341 is a strong resistance formed by overlapping moving averages and trend lines; only a breakout with volume can open up space. The lower level at 2,246 is a short-term defense line; breaking below it will test the whale cost zone. The tug-of-war between ETF outflows and whale accumulation limits the margin for chasing longs before reclaiming 2,298. The figure of 6.3 billion USD has resurfaced. This time, it’s not a hacker’s confession but an accusation from the FBI—attributing the approximately 6.3 billion USD stolen assets from Binance to North Korea. On the same day, when asked about this matter and related statements by Trump, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded with "no knowledge."
Three actors, three distances. The FBI is making a determination, Trump is making statements, and the Foreign Ministry says it has no knowledge. One of the largest thefts in crypto history now lives within political narratives.
Mechanically, the consequences don’t depend on who did it but on who takes responsibility. Whether an exchange can cover losses after a hack depends on reserves and insurance, not on an investigative report. The scale of 6.3 billion USD is not a small figure for the balance sheet of any single platform.
The real watershed is when a state actor is officially accused. State-sponsored hacking means no extradition, no recovery, no negotiation; the old paths for asset recovery basically fail. Such cases will increasingly resemble geopolitical incidents rather than criminal cases. $BTC and $ETH have shown no reaction; the market is pricing this as old news.
Assessment: For $BNB, this is an emotional disturbance, not a fundamental change. What matters is not what the FBI said, but whether $BNB’s spot liquidity and depth have changed.
One point to note: when "who stole it" is decided by intelligence agencies, the security narrative of exchanges shifts from a technical issue to a diplomatic one. At this level, retail investors will never get firsthand information.Today, let's look at how Bitcoin has performed historically after the midterm elections. Recently, we've seen news saying that the U.S. stock market tends to rise after midterms, so how has Bitcoin historically behaved? Previously, I wrote an article titled "Crypto Decline After Midterms," which many people disputed. First, I want to clarify that these are my subjective judgments and may not necessarily happen; it's just that we anticipate the worst outcomes and prepare accordingly. Actually, there was news recently about the crypto industry donating money to the Republican Party for votes. Why is the crypto industry investing so much to support Trump? As mentioned in the article "Crypto Decline After Midterms," partisan competition inevitably involves courting some companies for support, including financial backing. If the party comes to power, those companies benefit greatly. Similarly, the Democratic Party also courts its own companies, but if the Democrats take office, they will favor their own supporters, not the opposing party. So, I think there might be some crackdown on American crypto companies! This is a risk point. Now, let's look at how Bitcoin has performed historically after midterm elections. I believe that even if the Democrats come to power and suppress the crypto industry, Bitcoin is decentralized and can't really be suppressed. However, related companies like Musk's ventures, Circle, and Coinbase might not have an easy time. Interestingly, we know Bitcoin operates on a four-year cycle, and the U.S. midterm elections also occur every fourThe contrast is worth noting. Despite attracting approximately $1.47B in net inflows since launch, these ETFs have now recorded their largest weekly withdrawal on record.
This doesn't erase the capital that has already entered, but it does suggest that institutional demand is weakening in the near term.
One important distinction: ETF outflows don't automatically translate into equivalent spot selling. Redemptions, fund holdings and SOL price movements all influence the picture.My private messages exploded, everyone is asking Pharaoh, the US midterm elections are about to start, what does this have to do with Bitcoin? Pharaoh directly said, this is not an election, this is a reshuffle of the script for crypto regulation, both bulls and bears are waiting for this "blind box" to open. First, look at the timing: voting is on November 3 local time, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 seats in the Senate up for election. Currently, the Republican Party controls both chambers but with a very slim margin, holding just one more seat in the House and a 53 to 47 majority in the Senate. The prediction market Kalshi shows the Democrats have a 90% chance of taking the House and 64% for the Senate. What does this mean for crypto? Pharaoh breaks down three scenarios for you. Scenario one (highest probability), Democrats sweep both chambers. This is the worst-case scenario for the crypto industry. The chair of the Senate Banking Committee will change to Elizabeth Warren, who is the top opponent of the CLARITY Act, holding subpoena power and will focus on scrutinizing Ripple, Coinbase, and even the bank license of World Liberty Financial supported by the Trump family. TD Cowen bluntly states that the CLARITY Act will face even greater difficulty advancing in the next two years. Scenario two, a divided Congress. Democrats take the House, Republicans hold the Senate. Tim Scott continues to lead the Banking Committee, which is overall more favorable to the industry, but bills will still face tug-of-war and compromise, so don’t expect a one-step solution. Scenario three (lowest probability), coBitcoin ($BTC), Ethereum ($ETH), and SOL ($SOL) currently show severe imbalances in leveraged lending data, with long positions heavily leveraging while shorts are almost absent. $BTC long buy lending reaches 1,507 BTC, while short sell lending is only 68.54 BTC; $ETH longs borrow 16,400 ETH, shorts only 874.9 ETH; $SOL longs borrow 119,500 SOL, shorts just 3,430.47 SOL. The market's one-sided betting pattern continues to intensify. Once the market slightly pulls back, the over-leveraged longs will be forced to liquidate consecutively, triggering a chain liquidation. Currently, shorts have almost no lending exposure, so there will be no short covering during a decline, lacking a buffering force, making a rapid sharp drop very likely. There is no need to rush to predict price direction now; focus on monitoring the lending ratios. If long lending rapidly contracts or short lending begins to rise significantly, it indicates that funds are starting to hedge risks. In phases of highly uniform market sentiment, one-sided leverage is hard to sustain long-term, and just one piece of news could trigger a large-scale long liquidation. $BTC $ETH $SOL🔥Don't rush to call a reversal! BTC is currently just betting on an election.
Hackers smashed the market down to 76k, after scooping up long liquidity, the weekend was spent grinding sideways. A slight midday rally, now pulling back to the 4H EMA20. Two heavy resistance levels above are tightly holding: 79170, 80450. Without a volume breakout, all rebounds can only be considered as consolidation.
The real drama is the midterm election tomorrow, which will determine the regulatory narrative going forward.
If the Democrats sweep, with about a 95% chance in the House and 70% in the Senate, the market's expectation for deregulation will cool off, and BTC will likely continue to languish in a range; only if the Republicans hold the Senate is there a chance to challenge the resistance above.
There is also a harsher looming threat: whether the conflict with Iran will escalate after the election. Once geopolitical warfare ignites, crypto will hardly remain unaffected and could trigger a sharp drop at any time.
This is not a trend-driven market, but an expectation game. It looks stable, but big pitfalls lurk on both sides.
$BTC I see this as a cooling off of bullish sentiment, not a confirmation of a downtrend. The long-short ratio of OKEx $BTC contracts dropped from 2.60 24 hours ago to 2.20, with long accounts still dominant.
I follow three rules for trends: look at price—this data can't determine direction; look at crowding—this pullback shows the bullish side isn't completely one-sided; look at funds—the number of people doesn't represent position size. Trend is the best friend; I don't rely on the number ratio to time the top. Do you use volume or open interest to verify BTC trends? Because many big players in the crypto circle, A8A9, with assets ranging from tens of millions to over a hundred million, they all treat Binance as a bank to store their coins. Although everyone is currently saying they support Binance, at the moment withdrawals are opened, they will run faster than anyone else, immediately moving their funds into cold wallets.

$1.61 billion. This is the net outflow figure for the US Ethereum spot ETF in October, the largest since its launch in July last year. The net inflow from the first three months was completely reversed in one month.
Normally, this would cause a crash. However, ETH climbed back from the low of 2247 overnight to 2288, still up (+0.8%) in 24 hours, with a high touching 2317. Coinbase premium turned negative, indicating weak buying on the US side, yet the market did not collapse.
I also checked the funding rates and positions: perpetual funding rate at 0.0049%, basically zero, neither longs nor shorts willing to pay a premium; total open interest across the network is $1.5 billion, with no liquidation of a batch of positions. In the afternoon, a whale spent $62.97 million to buy 27,500 spot tokens, and the 25x long ETH position on Machi turned from a small loss to a slight profit.
My interpretation: the ETF channel is reducing positions, but on-chain and perpetuals are not following; these two groups are not on the same side this time. As for which side is correct, we need to see if the ETF replenishes in the next few days; just looking at the price alone doesn't clarify for now.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $PEPE brothers, the market is playing a differentiation game again! Binance has resumed withdrawals, BTC and ETH both turned green, but PEPE dropped nearly 2%!
A few days ago, PEPE was surging wildly, but now no one is following up, and MEME funds are starting to diverge!
According to Reuters, Binance has resumed withdrawals of assets like BTC and ETH, using its own funds to cover about 95% of the stolen assets. Platform trust is slowly being restored, but risks have not completely disappeared.
PEPE is lively on the other side, with large sell-offs on one hand and whales buying on the other, making short-term trading very active.
$BTC: 78012, up 0.67% in 24h
Finally standing above 78000, whether it can hold is the key
$ETH: 2265, up 0.80%
A bit stronger than BTC, steadily recovering, still needs to push through the 2300 barrier
$PEPE: 0.00000494, down 1.98%
The previous strong momentum has clearly faded, 0.000005 lost, no continuous buying, MEME market can easily end in one wave
In short: BTC is trying to stabilize, ETH is slowly recovering, PEPE depends on whether funds are willing to continue supporting it.
Remember! The overall market turns green, MEME doesn’t necessarily follow, sector rotation can happen anytime!
Share your thoughts: Is this PEPE wave just a pullback and shakeout, or has MEME’s heat already cooled down?

The leader has something to say
Iran has proposed a conditional "two-day reopening plan" for the Strait of Hormuz, demanding that the US first lift the blockade, sanctions, and release frozen funds. No agreement has been reached yet; the strait's shipping volume is about half of pre-war levels, and OPEC+ is maintaining December production unchanged. Influenced by the negotiation news, oil prices fell today, with CL down 1.72% and BZ down 1.48%.
I think don't be fooled by this one-day drop. The comments section is very insightful; the market's pricing focus has shifted from "whether there will be a conflict" to "when the conflict will happen after the election." November 4 is a key catalyst window. Also, crude oil can bypass the Red Sea, but Qatar's LNG can only go through Hormuz, making it irreplaceable. This structural vulnerability means oil prices are unlikely to truly plunge.
For crypto, the oil price drop can temporarily ease inflation expectations, but as long as this Middle East bomb isn't defused, macro pressures can return at any time.
BTC fell below 77,000 last night and is still hovering below. Let's see if it can climb back above 80,000. If it can't hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance between 84,000 and 85,000 above. Don't chase the rise or kill the fall; set your stop-loss orders properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $SOL "76,000 has been tested three times, each time with a different reason"
Bitcoin is currently at 78,088, up 0.36%, with a daily range from 77,488 to 78,777. ATR is 2,023 — volatility hasn't disappeared, but the range is narrowing.
What’s really worth watching is the past week: the 76,000 to 77,000 range has been tested three times, each with completely different excuses. On October 30, Binance hot wallets were hacked for $6.3 billion, crashing the price to 76,400; in between, there was a sell-off in AI tech stocks, with Intel down 25% pre-market; before that, there was options expiry and leverage clearing. Three reasons, one landing point.
Technically, this is called "support being repeatedly confirmed," and psychologically it means: sellers have changed batch after batch, but buyers are defending the same price level.
Looking at the money flow: on October 31, Bitcoin spot ETFs had a net outflow of $643 million in a single day, the largest single-day outflow in October, wiping out the previous four days’ combined net inflow of $441 million; the weekly net outflow was about $202 million, and the total for October was about $516 million. Cumulative net inflows have dropped to 57.4 billion, with total net assets around 103.2 billion — the bottom line hasn’t broken, but the direction is clear.
Tomorrow (November 3) is the US midterm election. Polymarket pricing as of October 20: Democrats taking both chambers 63%, divided government 28%, Republicans holding both chambers 9%. There is a more easily overlooked data point: in the past four midterm elections, three saw significant declines within 1–2 months after the election, a 75% probability. BTC pricing mainly depends on macro liquidity and ETF funds, so its sensitivity to congressional control is actually lower than that of DeFi and stablecoins.
Key levels: pivot at 77,769; above at 78,214, 78,620, 79,065; below at 77,363, 76,918, 76,513; 20-day low at 76,173.
My judgment: the sideways movement isn’t due to balance, but because no one wants to bet the day before the election. If a direction is to be chosen, it will most likely be after November 4.
Discussion: with a 75% historical probability, would you use it to make position decisions?
My answer: I wouldn’t use it alone, but I would use it to adjust timing. Three hits out of four samples aren’t statistically sufficient as a basis, but the mechanism it points to is real — pre-election optimism is priced in, and the post-election realization period is the stress test.
Poll: which do you care about more — A. Will 76,000 break; B. The 1–2 month post-election historical pattern; C. Continuous ETF net outflows; D. None of the above, I’m just waiting for 80,000 to come back.
I choose C. Prices can deceive, but money flow direction rarely does.

#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ #加密行业协同守护资产安全 $BTC $ETH October has ended, and Ethereum's report card is: down 16.1%, the second worst October since 2016.
Let's put the numbers back in context. A 16.1% drop in the crypto market is not a disaster; everyone has seen days with a 20% drop or a halving in three days. But the qualifier "second worst" doesn't describe the magnitude, it describes the position — in the past decade, only one October was worse. This is not a one-day flash crash, but a sustained downward shift throughout the month.
What really matters is the frame of reference. Most people look at monthly gains and losses using the last two years as a ruler: a 16% drop roughly counts as a correction. But when you stretch the timeline to ten years, the same 16.1% immediately becomes the second worst in history. The number hasn't changed, but its position has. Historical ranking measures relative to the past, not relative to the present.
Mechanically, this kind of sustained monthly downward shift is harder to handle than a single-day crash. A crash has clear causes and emotional outlets; once it hits bottom, it's over. A slow decline doesn't; it wears down holders' patience daily, turning "wait a bit longer" into "reduce a little first." This kind of distributed and continuous selling doesn't erupt all at once, making it difficult to signal a clear bottom.
Judgment has two layers. In the short term, after continuous weakness, the emotional pricing is relatively sufficient, so a technical rebound is quite probable. In the medium term, there is no evidence of a trend reversal here — the 16.1% just confirms that "October was bad," without pointing in any direction.
One question remains: Is the ETH in your hands because it is getting better, or because it has dropped enough?$ZEC is currently priced at 1,256.46 USDT (+1.48%), with a 4-hour MACD golden cross, J value at 75.88 indicating overheat, and the first resistance at 1,284 above. SUPERTREND support is at 1,212.
The capital situation is like fire and ice. An on-chain whale bought 3,052 ZEC spot (about $3.8 million) and went long with 2x leverage on 8,000 ZEC (about $10.16 million), with a total exposure close to $14 million betting on the upgrade. On the other hand, community governance disputes have caused some whales to withdraw, and ETF (ZCSH) funds are also wavering, failing to form sustained buying pressure.
The NU7 upgrade brings a substantial supply-side contraction. The mainnet is expected to activate around November 5, reducing block time to 25 seconds. More importantly, about 22,000 ZEC (around $26 million) in the old Sprout pool will be permanently locked if not migrated in time, effectively removing them from circulation.
Key levels: Above 1,284 needs strong volume to hold to open up space; below 1,212 is the short-term long-short defense line. With whales betting long and short combined with upgrade lock-up expectations, there is limited tolerance for chasing highs before the upgrade lands. Beware of short-term pullbacks driven by "buy the rumor, sell the fact."$RENDER
Decentralized GPU infrastructure addresses a practical problem: access to computing resources is increasingly important for graphics, rendering, and AI-related workloads. Render has an interesting position in this market. Its long-term relevance will depend on whether decentralized supply can compete with established providers on reliability, pricing, performance, and consistent demand.When $BTC price falls, the status of miners reveals the quality of the bottom more than the price itself. Surrendering miners first shut down their machines, then sell coins, leaving traces on the chain. The on-chain traces this time point in a different direction.
The total network hash rate of $BTC has climbed to 1025 EH/s, increasing by 13.4% over thirty days, with difficulty standing at 148T. The price is near a six-week low, yet the hash rate is hitting new highs, indicating no shutdown wave, which is usually a bottom characteristic rather than a top one.
$BCH and LTC lack an ETF narrative; their pricing relies entirely on mining economics, making them more sensitive to hash rate. BCH around 282 and LTC near 56 are following BTC's rhythm, with no independent market movement.
$ETC is the most typical case; the halving narrative was hyped for many years, but now no one talks about it. The price hovering around 7 dollars shows the market has already crossed out that line.
The PoW line follows the hash rate, not the sentiment.$ONDO
Tokenized real-world assets represent a meaningful bridge between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure. Ondo operates in this evolving sector, where credibility, regulatory requirements, liquidity, and accessibility are essential. However, growing interest in tokenization does not automatically guarantee equivalent demand for ONDO. The distinction between product adoption and token value deserves careful attention.$ARB
Arbitrum faces an interesting challenge: scaling Ethereum is only part of the equation. The bigger question is whether lower transaction costs translate into sustainable economic activity. DeFi liquidity, application retention, and recurring user demand matter more than temporary incentive-driven growth.

Last night, the overall trading strategy was quite clear. Considering the high-level short liquidation and changes in news, although the market showed a rebound, the overall support logic was not particularly solid, and there is still potential for further short selling.
Currently, the lead trader has taken profits in batches, pocketing 4,788U, with a total gain of 342 points.
Short-term market strategy:
The 1-hour level support is currently strong, so there is no rush to chase shorts. Priority is given to waiting for a second entry opportunity after the rebound faces resistance.
The second trader's position is temporarily held, waiting for further structural confirmation before considering adding to the position.
#非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $BTC Mt.Gox repayment delayed again for one year, will 34,400 $BTC crash the market?

The Mt.Gox repayment deadline has been postponed again, from October 31, 2026, to October 31, 2027. According to public data, the related wallet still holds about 34,400 BTC, valued at approximately $2.8 billion.
This news cannot be simply interpreted as either bullish or bearish.
In the short term, the repayment delay means there is no need to worry excessively about the selling pressure from a concentrated release of these BTC soon, giving the market a temporary breather. However, this does not mean the risk has completely disappeared. It remains worth watching whether creditors will choose to sell after receiving the BTC.
What really needs attention is not the word "delay" itself, but how the on-chain funds will move next.
If the BTC continues to stay in the original wallet, the actual selling pressure may be limited; if large transfers occur, especially inflows to exchanges, caution should be heightened. However, transfers do not necessarily mean sales, so one should not immediately assume the market will drop just because of transfers.
My view is: there is no need to panic or be bearish in the short term because of this news, but also do not treat the delay as a definite positive. The focus going forward should be on large on-chain transfers, exchange fund flows, and whether $BTC key support levels can hold.
Will these 34,400 BTC become potential selling pressure later, or continue to lie dormant in the wallet? I will keep monitoring the subsequent developments.$BTC is currently priced at 78,126.2 USDT (+0.23%), fluctuating between 77,555 and 78,831 over the past 24 hours. The 1-hour MACD shows the initial appearance of a bearish crossover with green bars, the J value has fallen back to 16.6, indicating short-term momentum exhaustion, and the rebound is approaching the liquidation "magnet" at 78,000. The thunder on the safety front has not stopped. BTCPay Server has confirmed that multiple instances' hot wallets were unauthorizedly drained; the official recommendation is for operators to immediately shut down instances. The attack vector targets older versions, but the scope and amount of losses have not yet been disclosed. This is another trust breach exposed in the Bitcoin payment infrastructure layer following Binance's $6.3 billion incident. Macro and capital factors are resonating to "kill valuations." The Federal Reserve has turned hawkish, and expectations for rate cuts have cooled; the 10-year US Treasury yield is approaching 5.27%, continuously raising the opportunity cost of risk-free assets. ETFs saw a net outflow of $643.3 million on Friday alone, led by redemptions in IBIT and FBTC; Coinbase premiums turned negative, and institutional spot buying has clearly contracted. However, funds are not fleeing across the board—IBIT still had a weekly net inflow of $177 million, while FBTC and ARKB saw outflows; money is concentrating in leading products rather than exiting the market entirely. The liquidation heatmap provides the clearest script: around 78,000 is the densest area for long position liquidations across the network; a price rebound to this level is highly likely to trigger liquidation-driven sell-offs; 76,500 serves as support below; leverage positions above 79,000 are sparse, so if volume breaks through 78,000, the upward move will be smoother. Coin🚨 The real test Binance needs to face may not be the market downturn, but the change in users' trust in the platform!
The most noteworthy aspect of the current controversy surrounding Binance is actually the attitude of large capital.
For many crypto investors with assets reaching tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, exchanges have long been more than just trading venues; to some extent, they also serve as asset custodians. But there is a practical issue: if market confidence changes, will large investors still be willing to keep their assets on the exchange long-term?
Verbal support for the platform is one thing, but when it comes to actual fund security, choices may be completely different.
Especially if there is a future surge in withdrawal demand, the platform’s liquidity, reserve assets, and withdrawal processing capabilities will all be put to the test.
Here are several key questions worth discussing:
1️⃣ Withdrawal pressure: Can the platform maintain normal withdrawals if a large number of users transfer assets simultaneously?
2️⃣ Asset reserves: Is the proof of reserves sufficiently transparent? Can it cover the real user liabilities?
3️⃣ Withdrawal restrictions: If there are limits or delays in processing, how much will user confidence be affected?
4️⃣ Industry trust: After the FTX incident, the entire crypto industry has deeply recognized the risks of centralized exchanges.
The FTX crisis back then made the market re-examine exchanges’ asset management and transparency issues, and the historical disputes between CZ and FTX have always been a topic of industry discussion.
However, historical events cannot be directly equated with current platform insolvency issues, nor can they be used without sufficient... 🚨 The imagination space for $HYPE has been opened again! When ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, starts to layout the Hype-related market, is this still just an ordinary contract platform?
As of November 2, HYPE is around $86, still leaving room from the historical high of $97.96. Although there has been some short-term profit-taking, what really deserves attention is that traditional financial capital is looking for new on-chain trading entry points!
📌 First, heavyweight cooperation opens up imagination space!
On October 29, ICE and trade[XYZ] announced an agreement to plan to introduce Hype perpetual contracts into the U.S. market. Although regulatory approval is still required and the launch date has not been announced, this means Hype has the opportunity to further connect traditional finance with the on-chain derivatives market.
📌 Second, the buyback logic is still worth watching!
In the past 30 days, the protocol has repurchased about $66 million worth of HYPE. The platform generates fees from trading, part of which is converted into market buy orders; if trading volume and revenue continue to grow in the future, there is a chance to gain stronger demand support.
📊 Third, how to watch key price levels?
🟢 Support: $85–$86, observe for pullback acceptance.
🔴 First resistance: $90–$92, only a breakout with volume can continue the rebound.
🚀 Second resistance: $94–$98, close to previous highs, may face stronger selling pressure.
⚠️ About 9.92 million tokens are expected to unlock on November 6, short-term supply pressure cannot be ignored. #非农来袭，12月加息会否生变？ $ETH I always feel a bit awkward about the phrase "voting with money" in prediction markets. Votes can be counted per person, but money isn't equally distributed among everyone. Ordinary coin holders can hold on slowly, but predicting the big coin's trend depends on whether something happens within a limited time. Odds can show which side the funds favor, but that doesn't mean many people agree. Sometimes when I watch the odds, I wonder if it's a consensus of many people or just one big player shifting their position.Current Status of Colend (Core Chain Lending Protocol) 1. The contract has not been shut down; the on-chain contract still exists, and the frontend website is still accessible, but the business is basically "effectively frozen," with activity almost at zero. - In March 2026, a massive chain liquidation was triggered by a sharp drop in the CORE token price, severely damaging the entire protocol. Although the official statement says the protocol code itself was not hacked and the issue was caused by market leverage liquidations with no bad debt, liquidity was severely destroyed. - The current TVL is only a few million USD, with the vast majority of collateral assets being CORE/stCORE; liquidity for stablecoins and BTC-type assets is almost depleted. - Almost no assets can be borrowed: even if collateral is deposited, the lending pool has no available liquidity; ordinary users can mainly only make deposits, and the lending function is basically unusable. 2. Status of the CLND Token - The CLND token is still listed on exchanges, but trading volume is extremely low, depth is poor, and the price has dropped drastically compared to its peak. - Colend's official social updates have significantly decreased in frequency, and large-scale incentive activities have ceased. 3. Key Reminders for Existing Users - The contract is not frozen; you can withdraw your deposited collateral assets by manually redeeming and withdrawing through the app; do not continue to deposit new funds. - The protocol has experienced extreme liquidation events, and the collateral is the highly volatile CORE token, carrying very high leverage risk. Simple Summary ✅ The contract has not been abandoned or closed on the technical level; it is still accessible and assets can be withdrawn ❌$LTC is trading 26% below its 200-week sma

watch whether buyers can reclaim that long-term averageApple's earnings report hasn't been released yet, but institutions are already clashing: Goldman Sachs raised the target price to 390 and rated it a buy, while Jefferies, despite underperforming the market, says the guidance will be disappointing. Such a big divergence indicates this quarter is quite complex.
My personal judgment is: this quarter's revenue and EPS will likely just meet or slightly exceed expectations, but this conclusion of beating expectations should be taken with a grain of salt.
The market expects Q4 revenue around $113.4 billion, EPS about $2, iPhone revenue estimated at $56.5 billion, a 15% year-over-year increase, driven by strong sales of the high-priced iPhone 18 Pro series, plus a wave of early purchases before the September price increase that pulled demand forward. So the revenue side is solid, not a big problem.
But the big issue lies in the gross margin. Apple's own Q4 gross margin guidance is 47% to 48%, which sounds okay, right? But this includes about 1 percentage point of tariff refunds. Excluding that, the core gross margin is only 46% to 47%, while the adjusted gross margin last quarter was 48.1%. This decline, Apple itself said, can be fully explained by rising memory costs. AI data centers have pushed DRAM and NAND prices sky-high, and even a hardware giant like Apple can't absorb the cost pass-through. Moreover, once the low-priced inventory is used up, the pressure will extend further.
Summary: This quarter's earnings will show both a beat on numbers and pressure on profit quality. Revenue is supported by high-end models, but profits are eaten away by costs. How the stock moves after hours will depend on how the new CEO sets the tone for next quarter's guidance during the earnings call.
#财报观察员：财报季回顾与展望 Core DAO Business Truth on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) The $CORE token itself is not listed on the London Stock Exchange. What is listed is a BTC staking ETP product (1VBS) issued by a third-party issuer Valour (under DeFi Technologies), with the underlying staking technology supported by Core. Many community promotions simplify this as "Core listed on the London Stock Exchange," which is a promotional statement and not a listing of the CORE coin for trading. Product: 1Valour Bitcoin Physical Staking (1VBS) 1. What it is: An ETP (Exchange Traded Product, similar to an ETF), publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, regulated by the UK FCA, with physical Bitcoin as the underlying asset. Bitcoin enters the Core network for non-custodial staking to generate yields. 2. Business logic - Valour holds real BTC, stored in institutional cold storage; - BTC is delegated to Core network validators for staking, generating staking rewards (nominal annualized about 1.4%); - Staking rewards are included in the product's net asset value, so investors buying this London Stock Exchange security indirectly receive "BTC price appreciation + staking rewards"; - Open to professional investors in 2025-09; FCA license obtained in 2026-01, opening trading to UK retail investors. 3. Core's role here: underlying technology service provider - providing Satoshi-PWhen prices fall, the status of miners reveals the quality of the bottom more than the price itself. Surrendering miners first shut down their machines, then sell coins, leaving traces on the chain. The on-chain traces this time point in a different direction.
$BTC network hashrate climbed to 1025 EH/s, increasing 13.4% over thirty days, with difficulty standing at 148T. The price is near a six-week low, yet the hashrate is hitting new highs, indicating no shutdown wave, which is usually a bottom characteristic rather than a top one.
$BCH and LTC lack an ETF narrative; their pricing relies entirely on mining economics, making them more sensitive to hashrate. BCH around 282 and LTC near 56 are following BTC’s rhythm, showing no independent market movement.
$ETC is the most typical case; the halving narrative was hyped for many years, but now no one mentions it. The price hovering around 7 dollars indicates the market has already crossed out that line.
The PoW line follows the hashrate, not the sentiment.CORE is a small-cap altcoin without an industry-standard whale threshold (unlike BTC which is fixed at ≥1000 BTC, or ETH commonly at ≥10000 ETH). Generally, within the community, there are two commonly used thresholds for tracking CORE whales (Nansen / Lookonchain): 1. CORE Mega Whales (capable of impacting the market): ≥1,000,000 CORE 2. Large holders/Shark tier: 100,000 to 1,000,000 CORE Core characteristics (the biggest difference from BTC and ETH) 1. Extremely high concentration of holdings The top wallets include: Core DAO treasury, team/investor lockup contracts, staking contracts, and exchange cold wallets. The top 10 addresses hold a very high proportion of the circulating supply, which is the fundamental reason why CORE’s volatility is much greater than BTC/ETH. 2. No fixed official number - The ≥1,000,000 CORE tier: the real-time number of addresses is usually in the dozens (dynamic, changing with unlocking, staking, and transfers) - The ≥100,000 CORE (large holders): a few hundred addresses Many addresses are staking contracts, foundation treasury, or exchange reserves, not individual large holders. The number of independent mega whales who can freely sell and actively trade is much smaller than the number of addresses. 3. Data pain points: CORE’s on-chain statistics are not as mature as BTC or ETH. Santiment and Glassnode do not provide stable whale-specific statistics like they do for Bitcoin and Ethereum; data can only be found on Core ScanZcash's NU7 network upgrade will activate at block height 3,543,405. Zakura estimates around November 6 at 00:50 UTC, Coindaro estimates around 02:30 UTC based on recent block times, with block height as the reference. The most direct change: block interval drops from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. It's not just faster. According to Zebra 7.0.0 release notes: daily issuance remains unchanged (block reward divided by 3, remaining halving interval multiplied by 3); ZIP 235 moves 60% of each block's fees out of circulation into reserves, miners get the remaining 40%; Orchard throughput increases from 2.9 to 6.6 TPS. The real action involves three groups. Nodes: must upgrade to Zebra 7.0.0 or Zakura 1.7.0, Coindaro estimates the old Zebra 6.4.2 will shut down around November 3 at 19:20 UTC, earlier than NU7. Mining pools: coinbase can only claim 40% of fees, only 'time' can be changed in getblocktemplate. Wallets and exchanges: after activation, v4 transactions become invalid (v5/v6 still valid), coins still in the old Sprout pool will be unspendable. Also, the upgrade migrates the database to v29, unreadable by 6.x; to roll back, you must first back up state/v28. My view: this is a rare "performance + economic model" simultaneous change on an old chain. Next, watch three things: orphan rate after activation, exchanges are$XIAOMI
Today's move is not mystical. Last night, Xiaomi officially announced that October deliveries exceeded 50,000 units, setting a new single-month high for this year. The Hong Kong stock surged more than 6% today, closing near HKD 28. The cumulative total for the first ten months is about 340,000 units, completing just over 60% of the full-year target of 550,000 units, so the pace is on track. The real growth comes from the recently launched Pengcheng series in September, also known as Sky Nomad, which locked in over 70,000 orders within 30 days of launch. This product has directly reversed the year-over-year decline trend. Citibank gave a buy rating with a target price of HKD 33.2; 94% of the 29 institutions are bullish, with an average target of HKD 34.4. Additionally, Xiaomi invested RMB 1.7 billion to acquire a 5.34% stake in Sunwoda Power, bringing the battery supply chain under its control. Technically, the price has just risen above the short- and medium-term moving averages but is still below the 200-day moving average, so this move looks more like sentiment repair plus fundamental realization rather than the start of a major uptrend. My own interpretation is that Q4 is the quarter with the lowest base for the year; the financial report will be released on November 24. If the automotive gross margin continues to improve, the premium on contracts will become stronger. The only risk point is liquidity. This X-Perp on OKX only has a daily trading volume of around USD 4 million, so if large funds come in or out, slippage will be painful. Therefore, my position is light, just as a lookout for myself, not betting heavily. The U.S. midterm elections are on November 3rd, and starting from November 4th Beijing time, election results from various states will gradually come out. I think the crypto community really needs to pay attention this time. Many people might think, what does electing a senator or representative in the U.S. have to do with trading BTC? But if you think carefully, many changes in the U.S. crypto industry over the past two years are actually inseparable from politics. From BTC spot ETFs, stablecoin legislation, to RWA, on-chain U.S. stocks, and the SEC's regulatory stance on crypto assets, U.S. policies are directly influencing the entire industry's development direction. So for this midterm election, what I care about most is not who wins or loses, but who will decide crypto policy for the next two years. 1. First, let's see who will control Congress. Currently, the Republican Party controls both the House and Senate, but the latest polls and forecasts show the Democrats have a better chance of taking the House, and the Senate race is very competitive. I think there could be three possible outcomes. The first: Republicans continue to control both chambers. In this case, the resistance to crypto-related policies pushed by the Trump administration might be relatively smaller. The market may raise expectations again for progress in crypto legislation, especially on exchange regulation, DeFi, and digital asset classification—issues that have long been unresolved. But here is a detail: Republican control of both chambers does not mean all bills will pass smoothly; many Senate legislative procedures still require bipartisan support. The second: Democrats take the House, Republicans hold the Senate. This situation is more interesting.
