A $500 billion market cap wiped off the board in a single day is not an ordinary piece capture, but a forced response after the king's wing wall was blasted open. Alphabet Inc. plunged 12.64% on the first full trading day after its Q3 earnings report, marking the largest single-day drop since listing and vaporizing about $500 billion in market value; free cash flow was negative for the second consecutive quarter, approximately negative $9.1 billion. At this point in the game, the market is not just looking at a single move's gain or loss but recalculating the entire variation.
The earnings report is like a powerful move that first pushes the "cloud growth" active piece to the forefront, then raises the cost of the position with capital expenditures, while causing the search advertising piece—which should have stabilized the center—to loosen. Active pieces do not equal positional advantage, and sacrificing a piece does not automatically mean compensation. The cloud business running fast is like a rook occupying an open file; the slowdown in search ads means the central formation is pinned by the opponent; consecutive negative free cash flow indicates a hanging pawn in the formation, which short-term offensive moves can mask, but the endgame will be repeatedly bitten. Investment banks lowering target prices is like the engine evaluation suddenly going offline; some still maintain positive ratings, unwilling to concede easily under time pressure. The essence of the disagreement is not the speed of cloud revenue but whether the capital expenditure sacrifice can promote transformation after twenty moves.
The US stock token with the code XLLY is the flank board of the same position. The sharp drop in the parent stock price first compresses risk appetite, then amplifies volatility through liquidity depth and leverage structure. Don't just ask if it follows the drop; watch the bid-ask spread, the supporting pieces, and the order book depth when it does. Once the center of the parent position loosens, the active pieces on the flank are most likely to become isolated; seemingly having the initiative, but in fact, every move is plugging holes in the king's wing.
A true grandmaster does not look for a response only when the news headline drops but calculates the endgame of cash flow the moment capital expenditure rises. Position management is not about taking one step at a time but calculating twenty moves ahead: where is forced, where is a false sacrifice, and where is just borrowed time. The winning move in this game is not in the cloud revenue square but whether free cash flow can transform from negative; before transformation, any beautiful midgame combination is just borrowed time. #googlepostearningsdrop$BTC #US stocks and gold & silver plummet simultaneously, safe-haven funds diverge
BTC, ETH, and SOL collectively enter narrow-range oscillation, with 1-hour volatility all narrowing to within 2%. The liquidation wall closely follows the current price; both bulls and bears are waiting for the FOMC signal. Whoever moves first will be swept first.
Market data is extremely divergent: BTC is quoted at $77,424, with 1-hour volatility at only 0.64%, the narrowest among the three. The 4-hour MACD maintains a death cross. The large holders' long-to-short ratio is 0.5, with bears accounting for 67%. The breakout points are within ±1% range; ETH positions have quietly rebounded 1.8% against the trend in nearly 8 hours, the only one among the three with capital quietly flowing back, but large holders' shorts still account for 61%; SOL has the largest volatility but the most concentrated shorts, with large holders' long-to-short ratio only 0.41 and bears accounting for 71%, showing the weakest market acceptance.
From a technical perspective, BTC daily chart is in an ABC correction structure since the high of 87,374. 76,260 is the low point of wave A. Currently, it is running a weak wave B rebound, with core resistance at the $80,000 level; if volume increases and it stabilizes above, the rebound space opens. Falling below 76,260 will confirm wave C decline, with the downside target below the previous low.
On the news front, bulls and bears are fiercely competing: After Binance's $6.3 billion theft incident, BTC only dropped 5%, showing significantly improved resilience compared to historical black swan events; however, spot ETF net outflow in a single day reached $643 million, a new high since June. Coinbase premium has been negative for 38 consecutive days. BTC is expected to close October down 7%-8%, the worst October performance since 2014.28.6% is not a drop, it’s a load-bearing column being completely pulled out in front of everyone’s eyes—the upper forty floors are still lit normally, but the load path has already been broken.
I have worked in structural engineering for twenty years. What I fear most is not ugly drawings, but beautiful drawings that can’t be realized. The data center and AI line revenue rose 78% to 7.3 billion, which on the drawings is called a "significant increase in design load"; but server chip supply is limited. Translated into construction site language: the owner wants to build up to eighty floors, but your underground pile foundation only reaches the depth for forty floors, and 30% of the rebar hasn’t arrived yet. The load has increased, but the bearing capacity hasn’t kept up. This is not a demand problem, it’s a structural problem.
The personal computer line dropped 5%, and the weakness is expected to continue into the first half of 2027—that’s the old wing building. The old wing’s floor slabs are still there, the MEP is still connected, but tenants are moving out. You can renovate the facade and apply a beautiful curtain wall, but vacancy rates won’t drop just because the facade looks good. What truly determines the residual value of this building has never been the curtain wall, but the floor slab thickness and column grid.
So the $140 billion market value evaporation is not a "negative news landing," it’s the market re-evaluating the entire structural system. A 28.6% drop in one day, in engineering terms, is called a progressive collapse: a certain node fails, the load instantly redistributes, adjacent components can’t bear it, and floors collapse one after another. The Q4 guidance is held back by capacity and supply chain constraints, which means the construction schedule slipped before the main structure was topped out—once the schedule slips, cash flow follows, and once cash flow breaks, even the grandest blueprint is just tracing paper.
As for the on-chain mapped asset, $xINTC, it’s just a piece of glass hanging on the building’s facade. The glass faithfully reflects structural displacement, but it is not the structure itself. The building is settling, so the glass will inevitably crack; don’t mistake the glass cracks for the cause, nor expect that replacing the glass will stop the settlement.
In my life, I only believe in one thing: floor area ratio can be negotiated, height limits can be negotiated, but the foundation cannot be negotiated. The 7.3 billion computing power demand is there, but the site can’t pour the corresponding concrete—the capacity allocation is like mix design; if it’s wrong, the grade won’t reach the mark, and the higher you build, the more dangerous it becomes.
The drawings say 78%, but the site only poured 43%. This is not a narrative gap, it’s a structural gap. #intelsharesdrop28.6%Is Bitcoin's Layer 2 still "pseudo-decentralized"? Only 31 Core validators, how much influence do exchange nodes really hold?
Core relies on the Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus, expanding the validator set from the early 21 seats to the current 31. The hybrid score is calculated by weighting Bitcoin delegated hash power, locked BTC staking amount, and CORE token staking. Every day, the top 31 ranked nodes are selected to produce blocks. This is its core selling point that distinguishes it externally from ordinary PoS public chains and ties it to Bitcoin's security narrative. However, the market continues to debate: with a limited number of validator seats combined with the staking weight of exchanges and large institutional nodes, does the "Bitcoin security foundation" narrative become mere packaging, essentially remaining a semi-centralized architecture controlled by a limited number of entities? From the original design intention, the triple weighting system was meant to balance each other: Bitcoin miner hash power delegation can hedge against the risk of monopoly by a single large token staker; non-custodial BTC staking and CORE staking form a second layer of constraints, theoretically making the decentralization dimension more diverse than pure token PoS chains. But the contradictions are also prominent: 31 validators is just the number of seats, which does not mean the underlying stakeholders are sufficiently dispersed. If multiple high-ranking validators' delegated hash power, large BTC stakes, and CORE token stakes ultimately concentrate in the hands of a few mining companies, leading exchanges, and whales, even if the node list has 31 independent names, actual decision-making power remains highly centralized.At 10 PM, on the OKEx market, among 31 major pairs: 22 up, 9 down, 0 sideways. Not a single sideways move; this isn’t dead water, someone is rotating positions. Yet the fear and greed index is still stuck at 30, indicating fear. My view: slightly bullish, but cautiously. Breadth has returned, but sentiment hasn’t. This is the kind of time when it’s easiest to rush in and get hit first, and also easiest to miss the initial move. I’ll add more if BTC holds above 78,000; if it doesn’t, I’ll just keep my base position. Do you currently hold more cash or more coins? $BTC $ETH $SOL #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Cryptocurrency #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Fed infighting? Senior officials call for "at least two more hikes," but the market votes with its feet; the crypto world faces a life-or-death crisis on November 6! Brothers, the Fed is currently in a state of "hawkish alarm," but the market's reaction is extremely surreal! On October 30, two Fed executives made harsh statements: St. Louis Fed President Bullard said that to curb inflation, further monetary tightening is needed soon; Dallas Fed President Logan was even more aggressive, saying at least two more 25 basis point hikes are needed! Normally, such a strong hawkish signal would scare risk assets out of their minds. But strangely, the market is not buying it! According to the latest pricing, the market's probability of a rate hike in December has dropped from about 85% to a range of 70% to 80%. Why is there this split between "officials hawking" and the market "playing deaf"? Experts analyze the underlying game and the fatal impact on our crypto world: First, inflation is indeed stubborn. Core PCE rose to 3.1% year-on-year in September, still far from the Fed's 2% target, giving officials confidence to hawk. Second, the market has become "desensitized" or even "giving up." The market's logic now is: you say there will be two more hikes, but the US economy and banking sector may not withstand the continued high-rate bleeding. If two hikes really happen, the risk of recession will rise exponentially. So, funds are betting the Fed won't dare to go all in. But no matter how they... This really made me laugh 😹😹😹 I was already sprinting to the 100u level playing SanDisk, and then a wallet got lost? #SanDisk beats expectations and announces stock split, stock price drops over 13%
The market pricing has already overwhelmingly bet on the Democrats sweeping both chambers, with a 70% probability fully priced in.
If in the end the Democrats do take both chambers, it would be a positive outcome realized, which could easily lead to a buy-the-rumor, sell-the-fact scenario. After the positive news is confirmed, funds might take the opportunity to exit, causing tech and storage sectors to spike and then fall sharply.
But if the result deviates from this mainstream expectation, for example if the Republicans take one chamber, that would be a busted expectation, directly impacting current pricing and causing very volatile swings.
Looking at our holdings SOXL, SKHY, and $SNDK: this event is a huge uncertainty bomb. The market has already priced in the most optimistic scenario, so set your defense positions early and don’t let the election results swallow up this big chunk of gains. $#KMTThe first reaction on the night of the incident was to withdraw coins to one's own wallet, which might be a bit awkward now.
Binance said that about 90% of the affected assets have been replenished, with mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL fully compensated. The funds came from the SAFU fund and their own capital. A new round of reserve proof snapshot was taken at 8 AM today, and the full report will be given on November 3.
The remaining 10% are coins with poor liquidity and will have to be bought slowly. I believe this — thin order books get aggressively swept, and prices soar first.
Interestingly, a single theft ended up becoming a public demonstration of solvency. Those who withdrew coins avoided the risk, while those who stayed got the narrative. No one should call anyone stupid; it's just that the fears are different.The real test after an exchange hack is not the night it happened, but the following two months.
Binance has reported this time: about 90% of the affected assets have been replenished, with BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC all achieving 100% full reserve support. The remaining approximately 10% is due to lower liquidity and requires more time to fully repurchase.
This 90% figure is worth pausing to consider. It’s not a random patch-up; the order logic is "easy-to-buy assets replenished first, harder-to-buy ones later." Mainstream coins have enough depth and can be swept on the market within a day or two; small coins have thin order books, and buying them at market price would push their prices up. So that 10% is more like an execution cost rather than a repayment gap.
The source of funds is also clearly stated: SAFU fund, contract insurance fund, and Binance’s own funds. None of these three pockets contain user money, which is more important than any yield in a bear market.
Regarding the reserve proof, a new snapshot was completed on October 31 at 08:00, with the full proof expected to be generated on November 3 at 08:00. The three-day interval is for data organization and third-party verification, not a delay.
The real question is not "Has the replenishment been completed?" but "Will it happen again next time?" A hack is a security incident, replenishment is a financial incident, and PoR is a transparency incident. Doing all three well does not guarantee the first won’t recur.Once the market stabilizes, public chains take the lead.
$SOL is back to $96, up 0.9% intraday;
$XRP is at 1.26, up 1.5%;
$LINK is the star today, rising 8.1% to $11.48. The logic behind LINK remains the same: the oracle avoids exchange risk exposure, so if a CEX runs into trouble, the valuation of on-chain data infrastructure is actually re-evaluated.
This week, LINK only dropped 0.4%, making it one of the most resilient among mainstream coins, much better than BTC’s -4% and SOL’s -5.6%.
Interestingly, SOL’s 5.6% drop this week is still in recovery, indicating that funds haven’t truly returned yet; currently, it’s more of a passive stop to the decline rather than active buying.A $5,000 plunge in one day! Bitcoin's price is falling, but the cost-effectiveness of long-term investment may be quietly improving!
Brother Murphy's on-chain chart is, in my opinion, very worth serious study!
On October 25, $BTC was around $80,000, with a PSIP of 64%; after the Binance security incident, PSIP further dropped to 61%, entering the 55%–65% bull-bear transition zone shown in the chart. What’s even more worth pondering is that during the US banking crisis in March 2023, PSIP fell to 58%, after which BTC experienced a clear recovery rally.
I believe the truly important thing is not whether history will repeat itself, but the underlying chip logic. A decline in PSIP means fewer profitable chips and increased market pressure, but it may also indicate that the cost-effectiveness of long-term allocation is improving. Of course, 61% is not an absolute bottom, and undervaluation does not mean the market will immediately rebound.
I still insist that BTC has entered the early stage of a bull market; the current situation looks more like a chip redistribution caused by external shocks. What really needs to be tested next is whether the panic selling pressure can be absorbed by sustained spot demand.
Bull markets are often not born when everyone is cheering, but gradually complete chip exchanges amid panic and doubt!Is SanDisk's stock split a good thing or a bad thing?
From a long-term perspective, current profits and gross margins remain strong, holding AI long-term contract orders, while launching a stock split plus buyback, with solid cash flow. The business itself has no major issues; growth is just slowing down, not a decline in performance.
For long-term investors, liquidity improves after the stock split. If storage prices remain high and AI data center orders continue to materialize, there is a chance for price recovery; but the risk lies in: original manufacturers expanding production, NAND supply increasing, ending the price hike cycle, which will lower the profit ceiling.
Therefore, this sharp drop is not due to fundamental problems but the realization of positive news: although this period's performance exceeded expectations, the NAND flash price increase rate has slowed, and the next quarter's guidance failed to meet market optimism, leading investors to take profits.

This time, the strategy is very straightforward, focusing on the Pro high-end model and foldable screen, raising the average product price, and prioritizing profit protection.
The initial launch phase looks fairly good in terms of hype, but there are reports from the supply chain about adjustments in orders for some models, causing the market to start doubting whether consumers can continue to accept this high price. Gold prices are falling, Bitcoin prices are falling, and stock prices are also falling. What exactly is happening?
This may not just be a price correction, but a liquidity shock. $XAU $BTC
When margin pressure increases, investors are forced to sell the most liquid assets to raise funds. At this time, regardless of the asset type, gold, Bitcoin, or stocks may be sold off.
There are two catalysts involved:
- Technology:
Poor performance and below-expectation outlooks have led to a sharp sell-off in tech stocks.
- Cryptocurrency:
Binance's security incident has intensified anxiety, triggering a wave of leveraged liquidations.
What to watch next is not only the prices of Bitcoin or gold but also U.S. Treasury yields and the potential recovery of the cryptocurrency market.
If liquidation pressure eases, the market may recover as selling pressure gradually subsides. However, if macroeconomic risks continue to worsen, the sell-off could last longer.Storage can't hold up either, where is the left-side bottom-fishing window?

The entire market is deleveraging indiscriminately! With the non-farm payroll test imminent, is bottom-fishing just catching a falling knife?
Current price is $2249.99, fluctuating narrowly intraday. After the sharp drop, short-term moving averages still show a bearish alignment, and the overall weak trend remains unchanged. The $2262 level is the 24-hour strong/weak dividing line; only a volume-backed hold above this level allows room for recovery. If it breaks below the recent low effectively and the rebound is weak, the downward channel will further open.
Don't be misled by the "risk aversion divergence" narrative. The essence of this round of decline is the high-level drainage of U.S. Treasury bonds, causing synchronized deleveraging across the entire market. In a high-interest environment, capital clusters to earn risk-free returns, leading to sell-offs across gold, semiconductors, and cryptocurrencies alike. There is fundamentally no independent risk-hedging logic. ETH has higher elasticity, compounded by continuous ETF outflows and no new explosive points in its ecosystem, resulting in a decline significantly greater than BTC. Blind bottom-fishing is very likely to get trapped.
The November 6 non-farm payroll data is the next key node. Don't simply apply the formula "worse employment, higher coin price":
If the data is weak, leading to a drop in rate hike expectations, and the coin price can hold the low point at data release, then the rebound is credible;
If employment weakens sharply causing recession fears and a comprehensive risk appetite contraction, ETH will instead be pressured along with the broader market.
Before the data release, watch more and act less. Use $2262 as the observation point; consider light trial positions only after holding above it. If it breaks the previous low and the rebound is weak, abandon short-term recovery ideas and wait for deleveraging to fully clear before proceeding. #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单 #苹果新CEO迎来iPhone18首份成绩单
The new CEO Ternus faces his first major test, with the Q3 earnings report to be released after the market closes on November 2, and the iPhone 18 series serving as the core touchstone.
Apple has taken a differentiated AI path: integrating Google overseas and partnering with Qianwen domestically, avoiding heavy in-house R&D spending, thus sidestepping the cash flow drain of the computing power arms race, resulting in relatively solid profitability. However, pressures are also clear: upstream storage components continue to rise in price squeezing profits, the global smartphone market is weak combined with competition from domestic flagship models, some channels have already shown price loosening, making sales growth unlikely to exceed expectations.
Market sentiment is cautious: Apple's market value has just surpassed Nvidia to reclaim the global number one spot, but under the broader context of the Nasdaq's continuous pullback, tech stocks overall are under pressure. The market bets on a 56% chance of a post-earnings decline, generally believing that even if performance meets expectations, it is hard to reverse the trend of benefits being fully priced in.
For the new leader, the initial sales enthusiasm is just the starting point; the real test lies in whether he can maintain the high-end base and profit levels amid rising costs and the AI race industry cycle.
$AAPL $xAAPL Liquidation Pain Point Sniper: ETH Short Squeeze Imminent, ZEC Hanging Below
Core Logic: The market is brewing a wave of "upward hunting" with short positions far more crowded than longs, making the main force's pump to trigger short squeezes extremely cost-effective
1. ETH (2240): Short Target
Signal: Only 1.08% above (2264) there is a huge short order backlog of 25.6 million U
Interpretation: This is a typical "bear trap" structure. The main force only needs a slight pump to trigger a chain of liquidations. A short-term upward spike is very likely, and 2264 is a critical battleground
2. HYPE (87.24): Lightest Selling Pressure
Signal: Very few long stop-loss orders below (only 500,000 U), ample space above
Interpretation: Minimal downward resistance, well-locked chips. As long as the overall market doesn't crash, it is the easiest candidate to see an independent upward trend.
3. ZEC (1265): Hanging Below
Signal: 1.7 million U long orders pending liquidation 5.14% below, with volume larger than short orders above
Interpretation: The only "hidden risk" asset. If the trend weakens, the temptation to dump downward to gain liquidity is greater than moving up, watch out for a pullback to 1203
Operation Strategy:
Keep a close eye on ETH's $2264 breakout, which is the starting gun for a short-term surge; HYPE is suitable for holding and waiting for a rise; ZEC requires defensive attention
$ETH $BTC $ZEC Are hackers just scapegoats? Even if that $6 billion theft of $BTC hadn't happened, this wave of everyone being trapped is bound to collapse sooner or later!
Last night saw an epic crash in the crypto world. Besides the black swan event of Binance losing nearly $6 billion triggering panic, the chip distribution reveals a deeper crisis.
Currently, only 4.03% of BTC holders are in profit, meaning 96% of positions are underwater, with an average cost as high as 78,967. The 78,000-81,000 range is piled with a huge amount of red trapped positions. This means massive resistance above; once the price rebounds, these positions will rush to sell to break even, creating huge selling pressure.
Simply put, this is a triple blow of a black swan crash, everyone trapped, and heavy selling pressure on rebounds. Until this heavy trapped position is digested, any rebound could be a last-ditch escape wave. Do not blindly bottom-fish.

#Strategy Earnings Preview: BTC's book profits rebound sharply Predicted Meme Coin: IRYS$IRYS
Speculation Index: 6🌟 Growth Index: 1🌟
Token Analysis: This token surged more than twentyfold a few days ago, attracting plenty of attention then. Its current position still allows for small-scale long positions to speculate on a rebound. The price is not expensive now, having dropped over 90% from its peak. Actually, the best cost-performance entry would be after another major crash.
Token Outlook: IRYS's fundamentals are "team, sector, and funding," but the token's current state is "high valuation, low circulation, large unlocks, and extreme volatility." The medium to long-term price likely depends on two factors: first, whether real storage and usage volume on the mainnet can pick up; second, whether the unlocking period can be absorbed by demand. If you want to follow it, it's recommended to monitor on-chain usage data and unlock announcements, and avoid chasing short-term spikes or crashes. Panic has just passed, but market sentiment suddenly became one-sided: contract buy-side lending for $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL surged simultaneously, while short-side lending is so low it's almost negligible. This is not an ordinary rebound but a collective bet on a "recovery." Let's look at the hard data first. $BTC buy-side lending is 1496.51 units, short-side lending only 71.52 units; $ETH buy-side lending is 17,300 units, short-side lending 645.37 units; $SOL buy-side lending is 115,400 units, short-side lending 3147.39 units. These three sets of numbers point to the same thing: bulls are borrowing money to enter the market, while bears are almost absent. The direction of leverage is already written in the ledger. Many interpret this as a "bottom confirmation." But what is truly worth cautioning against is this very unanimity. When everyone feels comfortable with their position and starts to preemptively position for recovery, the market direction becomes overly consensual, and the stronger the consensus, the higher the probability of short-term volatility. The recovery phase looks tempting but is actually the most prone to "shakeout" pullbacks that first clear out leveraged longs. From another perspective, this data also exposes the market structure's fragility: the continuous increase in buy-side lending means long positions are supported by borrowed money; the extremely low short-side lending means bears lack enough fuel to drive a short squeeze. In other words, the rise lacks the boost of short covering, while the fall triggers a chain reaction of long liquidations. This is an asymmetric leverage structure, and once the direction reverses, the speed will be rapid. My judgment is: currently, it looks more like an "emotional repair" rather than a "trend reversal." $BTC's Don't be fooled by nonsense like "risk-off divergence." The truth is that U.S. Treasuries are hemorrhaging cash, and the entire market is indiscriminately deleveraging.
Look at $BTC, Bitcoin, dropping below 77,000. Don't keep fooling yourself with the idea of digital gold; under high interest pressure, it's a high-risk asset. When Wall Street runs short on cash, it's the first to get hammered. The overhead resistance is heavy, and ETFs are still seeing massive outflows. Holding long-term spot is fine, but short-term chasing rebounds is pure suicide.
Look at $ETH, Ethereum, falling even worse, always the hopeless follower. The ecosystem has no new breakout points and no support. When the market softens, it crashes the hardest. Catching a falling knife now is a surefire way to become a big loser.
Look at $XAUT, gold, plunging more than three points. Do you think the risk-off logic is dead? Wrong. Institutions are using gold as an ATM to cover margin holes in tech stocks and crypto. There are too many profit-taking positions from earlier, and liquidity squeezes make no sense. Central bank buying at the base level continues, but don’t rush to bottom-fish before the stampede ends.
Also, look at the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging seven points, brutally cutting valuations. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is hitting nearly 5%, and bond prices are surging. This is the essence: all the money is fleeing to risk-free interest. Who still wants to play with high-risk tech stocks and crypto? In a high-interest environment, cash is king. Don’t think a big drop means cheap; the market is killing greedy retail investors. Control your hands and don’t be a stepping stone for Wall Street big shots. Wait until this deleveraging wave is completely cleared before making a move. #美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 It's Saturday night this week, is everyone out partying and getting ready to relax? But weekend liquidity is the worst, the market looks dead calm, yet behind the scenes, everyone is holding back big moves! Looking at the contract data, be cautious and definitely avoid heavy positions overnight.
$BTC is currently around 77400, with a 4-hour long-short ratio of 2.74. There's little volume on Saturday; the main players are just drawing gates and wasting time here. There's heavy selling pressure at 78000 above and support orders at 76000 below, both bulls and bears are probing.
Looking at $ETH now at 2247, with a long-short ratio of 2.69, it still follows BTC, but if you look closely at its funding rate, it occasionally turns negative, indicating the bulls lack confidence. As soon as the market softens a bit, it will run faster than anyone else. Don't expect it to lead the charge.
Finally, $SOL is at 95.9, with a 4-hour long-short ratio soaring to 3.71. This data is nerve-wracking; it's all bulls stubbornly holding and adding positions above 95. With such heavy load, if the market shakes even slightly, the main players will definitely target SOL, with a high chance of a downward spike to shake out long positions!
Summary: Weekend late-night liquidity is the worst, and the main players love to launch surprise attacks. Don't lose control just because the market hasn't dropped; beware of sudden gate drawing at midnight.
This Saturday night, are you holding positions overnight or sleeping with an empty book? Do you think Sunday will start with a rebound to lure longs or a direct dump to shake out the bulls?
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 DOGE to hit $0.10 by year-end: 25% rise in two months, effort alone isn't enough, the storyline matters
My judgment is straightforward: $0.10 is not the bull-bear switch for DOGE, but the most direct emotional threshold to close out 2026. If it closes above this by year-end, the whole year can barely be defined as a recovery after a weak consolidation; if it closes below $0.08, the label of a "complete bear market year" basically can't be removed.
Let's do a simple calculation. $DOGE needs to rise 25% from $0.08 to $0.10. This magnitude over two months is not a task that can be done with a casual bounce; it requires capital to reprice. Based on an approximate 25% intra-year drawdown, if it can close near $0.10 at year-end, the annual decline will narrow to about 6%. In other words, the significance of $0.10 is not to make holders proud, but to revise the annual report card from "took a hard hit" to "a wasted year, but at least didn't collapse."
Catalysts are certainly important, but I divide them into igniters and engines. Elon Musk's endorsements and political events are igniters; they can quickly draw full attention but don't necessarily bring sustained buying. Without follow-up capital taking over, it's easy for the "hype team to clock out, and prices to clock out". So for these kinds of markets, I look at sustainability, not just how lively the news night was. #DailyOrbit 【Intel Plummets, U.S. Government's Stake Loses $12 Billion in a Single Day】
Intel $xINTC stock price plunged 28.58% in one day, marking its worst performance since the 1970s. The U.S. government’s roughly 10% stake lost $12 billion in value in a single day, while Nvidia $xNVDA holdings also evaporated by about $6 billion. Intel’s earnings guidance was quite disappointing, with Q4 revenue expected to be only $15 billion to $16 billion, well below the market’s forecast of $17.1 billion, and adjusted EPS nearly half of expectations.
Intel’s Q3 revenue actually reached $16.5 billion, up 21% year-over-year, with data center business growing 78%. The company is not without AI growth, but the revenue from AI demand is still insufficient to cover expansion costs, and the PC business was dragged down by rising memory prices. Gross margin is expected to drop from 43% to 38% in Q4, and the company even expects to fail to generate positive cash flow for the full year.
This is what the market truly fears: AI infrastructure investments are increasing, but not every company in the supply chain can convert demand into profit. Intel’s plunge reflects its own operational issues and serves as a warning to the entire chip sector. Especially after rising about 150% this year, previous valuations included too much optimism about successful transformation. Now the market is demanding performance to back up the story. The AI rally may not be over, but the phase where simply associating with AI could drive stock prices up is clearly becoming more difficult.Why not do altcoins 1. Extremely weak liquidity, a small amount of funds can leverage huge price swings The actual tradable circulating volume of the vast majority of altcoins is less than 10% of the total supply, with very thin order book depth. A single small buy or sell order can directly consume all the orders on the market, causing the price to instantly fluctuate by more than ten points. Meanwhile, a large amount of tokens are concentrated in the hands of the project team and early large holders. Their concentrated selling or pumping actions can directly trigger violent price shocks. 2. High leverage liquidation creates a chain death spiral Altcoins are a gathering place for short-term speculative funds, generally with 2-5x or even higher leverage. Once the price fluctuates more than 30%, it triggers a large number of liquidations. The forced liquidation sell orders generated by these liquidations further push the price down, causing more altcoin positions pledged for stablecoins to be liquidated, forming a negative feedback loop of "price drop → liquidation → further drop." In extreme cases, the daily decline can exceed 90%. 3. Imbalanced capital structure, completely dependent on crypto-native hot money Bitcoin has compliant ETFs to absorb institutional long-term funds, while altcoins almost have no compliant funding channels. The capital sources are only VCs and short-term retail investors within the crypto circle. Once macro risks rise, funds will immediately withdraw from high-risk altcoins first, flowing preferentially to Bitcoin, gold, and other safe-haven assets, directly causing altcoin buy orders to dry up instantly. $After such a big event, the market only dropped a little.
At first, I thought all the money would run away.
Those Bitcoin funds in the US sold 643 million in one day.
They manage a total of 981.4 billion.
Out of every hundred dollars, only seventy cents moved.
The money didn't run.
Either they haven't reacted yet, or they simply don't believe it will crash.
If it recovers next week, this matter will be over.
If it doesn't recover, that's when it really starts.
Which side are you betting on? Many people see AKE rallying and immediately shout "major reversal." To be honest, this is just a rebound.
To put it simply: during the rise, futures surged with high volume, but the spot market buying couldn't keep up, so this is a leverage-driven move; there are still batches unlocking later, and existing sell pressure remains. Without solid new funds entering, such rallies are mostly pulses—don't dive in headfirst chasing it. #US stocks and gold & silver plummet simultaneously, safe-haven capital flows diverge. Next week, US stocks are highly likely to continue a pattern of high volatility with a shaky bottom search. Multiple Wall Street institutions have already entered defense mode in advance.
🗳️ First level of contention: Midterm elections (November 3)
The Democratic Party is highly likely to take the House of Representatives, and expectations for tighter AI regulation will quickly intensify. Strengthening environmental and energy consumption reviews of data centers will directly impact capital expenditure mainstays like Alphabet and AMD. If a "blue wave landslide" occurs, tech stocks will face rapid short-term downward adjustments.
📉 Second level of contention: Nonfarm payrolls "determine interest rate fate" (November 6)
This is the core window to verify the Fed's pause on rate hikes logic. September's nonfarm payrolls added only 29,000 jobs, already a significant cold surprise.
· If nonfarm payrolls weaken again: It will reinforce cooling employment, consolidate expectations for a rate hike pause, push US Treasury yields down, and benefit growth stocks.
· If data again exceeds expectations: The market will reprice a December rate hike restart, US Treasury yields will rebound, and high-valuation AI tech stocks will be directly hit.
💸 Third level of contention: AI earnings reports and valuations (throughout the week)
Next week marks the intensive Q3 earnings disclosure period. Previously, Google plunged over 12% in a single day due to capital expenditure and profit misses, sounding an alarm for the market. The market's patience with AI has run out; it is no longer "buying on growth" but demanding to see real profits and free cash flow. Morgan Stanley bluntly stated that the semiconductor sector may still fall another 10%-15% before mid-November. $SNDK [Discounted for 38 consecutive days, BTC lacks US buying power]
The US market has not been willing to pay a premium to buy $BTC for 38 consecutive days. The Coinbase premium index recently dropped to -0.2434%, whereas on October 24 it was -0.1353%, showing a further widening of the discount within a week. This change is more concerning than just a continuous negative value: the US market's buying power has not only failed to recover but has continued to weaken recently.
This makes BTC's rebound somewhat awkward. The weak buying power in the US spot market represented by Coinbase means that further price increases will rely more on funds from other regions, ETFs, and the derivatives market to take over. Coinbase's institutional report on October 23 also mentioned that although there was a significant net inflow in US spot ETFs in October, the incremental funds were highly concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT, with about $6 billion net inflow since August, while other US spot ETFs combined only about $500 million.
Additionally, the stablecoin supply has decreased by about $12.7 billion from the May peak, and CryptoQuant's statistics show a spot demand gap of approximately 76,000 BTC as of October 25 over the past 30 days. Several data points indicate the same issue: the market does not lack trading enthusiasm but lacks sustained inflows of spot US dollars.
I remain cautious on BTC in the short term. Occasional large inflows from ETFs can support the price, but they have not yet formed a sustained buying power strong enough to drive the entire US spot market.#PalantirQ3Valuation A cross-chain protocol was hit for $783,000. The amount isn't large, but the attack vector is worth a look for all holders.
zkLink was attacked on October 29. The attacker didn't break private keys or signatures; they exploited a vulnerability left by the contract itself: the verification value brought in by cross-chain messages was not cleared after use.
The process was very clean. The attacker first obtained a valid verification value through a genuine cross-chain message, then reused it within the same transaction. The contract neither cleared it nor bound it to the current call, so the reused value still counted as a valid credential. Then, leveraging relay and gateway contracts, they wrote a forged batch root into the system. After successful forgery, the rest was just execution: 1 $ETH withdrawal and 11 ERC-20 withdrawals.
What’s more concerning is the verification of batch root updates. It only checks whether the caller is the gateway, without independently verifying the batch root itself. This effectively places the security boundary on "gateway identity trustworthiness" rather than "the withdrawal is cryptographically valid."
Cross-chain bridges rarely fail due to cryptography; most fail due to state management. Residual variables, over-privileged checks, and reusable credentials are all issues from the same family.
What can be done practically: don’t let assets sit idle in the bridge. What’s worth considering is that if even the most basic cleanup like "verification values are burned after use" can be missed, then when evaluating a bridge, you should look not at how many audits it has undergone, but how simple its state machine is.#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 非农临近：BTC、ETH会先交易就业变化，还是利率预期？ 非农还没公布，市场已经开始猜：就业越差，是不是币价越容易涨？ 我觉得这次先别急着套公式。短线市场可能先通过利率预期交易数据，但如果就业弱得让人担心经济，BTC和ETH也可能跟着承压。 上一份报告里，新增非农只有2.9万人，失业率为4.2%；另一边，美联储官员仍有人认为需要尽快收紧。就业和通胀两头拉扯，这就是下周数据难交易的地方。 11月6日非农公布后，我先看就业人数、失业率和工资有没有共同走弱，再看利率期货对12月的定价怎么变。如果数据偏弱、加息预期随之回落，两币又能守住数据公布时的低点，修复才更可信。 反过来，如果就业明显弱于预期，但BTC、ETH反弹后迅速跌回数据公布前的价格，那就要小心市场开始担心增长，而不是单纯庆祝政策可能松动 现在先记两个观察位：BTC的78088附近、ETH的2262附近，是核对时各自的24小时高点。数据后若小时线收上、回踩守住，再考虑轻仓；如果跌破各自24小时低点且反抽收不回，就放弃短线修复思路 $BTC $ETH #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍#VoiceOfTrading: Your experience deserves to be heard 🔥🔥🔥Reviewing three long-term positions for everyone's reference, be sure to save this🔥🔥🔥@OKXPlanet $ZEC $SOL $ETH On-chain address tracking has identified a top-tier whale account, with cumulative profits reaching $214 million. In the past seven days, net value surged again, earning $71.07 million, with a single 24-hour profit of $7.51 million. The current perpetual contract position market value is $653 million, with all positions leaning toward the short side. Its trading structure deserves in-depth analysis. The account's profit foundation relies on two major short base positions in ETH and ZEC: The ETH short was established at the 2322 price level, currently unrealized profit of $6.97 million; the ZEC short entry cost is 1478, with a floating profit of $7.61 million. Even though the market expects the ZEC block upgrade to be implemented next week, this whale has not chosen to exit. These two positions form a solid profit buffer. The portfolio also contains assets under passive pressure. The BTC short was opened at 76366, currently showing a floating loss of $2.73 million; the SOL short entered at 94.33, with a floating loss of $1.16 million. If the bulls launch a phased counterattack, these two positions will be the first to bear the impact of price pullbacks. The core highlight of this strategy comes from funding fee income. The four major coin short positions have cumulatively earned over $12 million in funding fees, continuously generating passive cash flow during the holding period. The account has sufficient safety margin, with the BTC liquidation price projected up to 135878, which is a distance from$USDT
Last month I was still pondering whether to move half of the USDT I had to USDC for stability. After reading Tether's financial report today, I'll hold off for now.
Q3 net operating profit was $1.5 billion, totaling $4.5 billion for the first nine months, matching Q2. Excess reserves doubled from $4.1 billion at the end of Q2 to nearly $8 billion, with total assets of $191.5 billion against liabilities of $183.5 billion, and U.S. Treasury holdings exceeding $130 billion.
What's interesting is the issuance volume. At 184 billion, it basically stayed flat for the first three quarters. The volume didn't increase, but the money earned more and more, all from U.S. Treasury interest and reverse repos. While others compete on exchanges and L2, it just lies back collecting Treasury interest. I casually checked OKX spot; USDT/USD quoted at 0.999, the market still shows full confidence.
They stockpile U.S. Treasuries in their vault, while I watch K-line charts late into the night. The envy is real, but the data speaks for itself.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 81688.3 short $BTC, 100x leverage, target 77458.6, floating profit +517.78%. To wrap up, just three points:
1. First, close a portion; only the amount transferred into the account counts, the number on the screen reflects the market;
2. Set the trigger line for the remaining position above the cost; too close to the current price will get shaken out by normal fluctuations;
3. Do nothing during sideways consolidation, neither add positions nor exit early.
From the trend perspective: after a zigzag decline, it enters a low-level sideways consolidation. Whether this is a continuation of the downtrend or a bottom rebound can’t be determined from the chart; we have to wait for it to develop. Here are some specific reference numbers for myself: target 78000, floating profit about 451; 79000, about 329; 80000, about 207; 81000, about 84; cost 81688.3, break-even; below 77000, about 574; 76500, about 635; 76000, about 696. For every approximate 817 increase in price, floating profit decreases by 100 points—remember this conversion well, so you won’t be dazzled by that 517 during sideways movement. Both ends have considerable elasticity, which is why I close part first and keep a small portion: closing part secures the result, keeping some preserves the possibility. If it breaks below 77000, accept more loss; if it rises above 79000, exit according to the line, not leaving the decision to a single guess. $BTC $ETH
#OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 $UNI
Last week I said that UNI's rally had no substantial fundamentals and was purely emotional, but today I have to admit I was wrong.
Uniswap has opened the TJAR fee conversion system to all applications. Last month, this system handled over $15.3 million in swaps on its own and now covers 7 chains. Robinhood has already integrated it—their new chain directly runs Uniswap v2/v3/v4, and all token fees generated by user trades are uniformly converted into USDC and USDG through Uniswap's API for accounting.
A US stock brokerage-level platform handing over the entire fee settlement process to an on-chain protocol is unprecedented. Previously, DeFi was considered just hype, but now their chains are paying tolls to it.
UNI is currently at $6.90+, having touched a 24-hour high of 7.23 before dropping back. I won't speculate on the price, but this fee revenue line is truly materializing, unlike last year's pure governance token speculation.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 ⚠️ This weekend's slight rebound is just a breather after the waterfall drop, not a bottoming out
$BTC $ETH $SOL
The weekend market gave a little sweetness
BTC bounced near 77,000
ETH stood back above 2250
SOL followed with a slight rebound
It's already predictable
Many are starting to shout: the decline has stopped, a rebound is coming
Let me pour a bucket of cold water on that
It's the weekend now, liquidity is extremely thin
A rebound without volume is the least valuable
A single large order can push it up
Likewise, a single large order can smash it back down
The real bottom doesn't bounce up like this
The bottom is formed by heavy volume selling
It's when panic sellers give up their chips
After the drop stalls, it stabilizes for a few days to confirm
This current wave
Feels more like a brief breather after a big drop
Don't mistake a breather for a market reversal
Watch the volume, don't just look at the red and green candlesticks
Do you think this rebound will be smashed through directly on Monday?
Just my personal market observation, not investment advice
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 BTC ETF's continuous 4-day net inflow streak was interrupted, with a single-day net outflow of $643 million yesterday, led by BlackRock IBIT with $234 million outflow. The previous claim that "industry internal events do not affect institutions" no longer holds. Institutional patience is wavering. The Fear and Greed Index dropped to 30, the lowest in a week, bottoming out in the 30-54 range. Unease is deepening, not easing. Stablecoins shrank by 1.39% over 7 days, and off-exchange standby funds are still withdrawing, not waiting to buy the dip. ETH ETF has had 5 consecutive days of net outflow, totaling nearly $887 million over 14 days, showing institutions are more cautious about Ethereum. What's worse is the spread. Another Nasdaq-listed company is considering selling $450 million in BTC, citing concerns over the Binance hack and quantum computing. The trust shock is spreading beyond Binance itself. The Nasdaq fell 0.35%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.18%, with 7-day declines of 2% and 0.6% respectively, indicating traditional markets are also moving into risk-off mode. On the flip side, derivatives remain relatively stable; BTC and ETH funding rates and open interest have not seen drastic changes. There is no new round of leveraged panic liquidation; this drop is more about spot and sentiment, not amplified by leverage. On-chain BTC and ETH have seen net outflows from exchanges over the past week, indicating hoarding, but this is a lagging signal and does not explain today's movement. Next, watch two things: whether ETF outflows are a single-day fluctuation or a continuous trend—continuous outflows would signal a deeper confidence crisis; and whether Binance can resume withdrawals as planned on Sunday and recover 80% of the funds, which is key to repairing trust.On October 29, OKX, Intercontinental Exchange ICE, and Trade.xyz announced a cooperation plan to bring perpetual contracts into the regulated U.S. market. According to the information in the article, ICE and Trade.xyz have already signed an agreement, but regulatory approval is still required; the plan will use Hyperliquid technology and will be launched by a joint venture between ICE and OKX targeting retail users. ICE will be responsible for exclusive operations and will build the trading and clearing system. Market reactions have been mixed. After the news broke, HYPE briefly rose more than 13% against the trend, then fell back to 88.262, down 4.42%; OKB was at 110.77, down 0.85%. This indicates that although the cooperation narrative brought short-term buying, after expectations were realized, funds did not continue to push related assets higher in sync. ZEC was at 1284.44, up 4.58%. The article links this round of performance to the NU7 upgrade expectations and judges that market attention has been diverted. It should be noted that the cooperation is still in the promotion stage, the approval results and product launch time are not yet determined, and ICE's operational arrangements cannot be directly equated with having already gone live. 💡 My view. This looks more like a theme-driven but slow-to-materialize market: HYPE first trades on expectations, then bears profit-taking; OKB did not follow the strength, indicating the market has not yet priced the cooperation as a sustained positive. Going forward, the progress of approvals, whether the product truly launches, and whether HYPE can regain buying interest are more worth watching than a single price spike. You place more emphasis on the long-term cooperation between ICE and OKX $200 million. This is not the fundraising amount of a project, but the lobbying budget spent by the crypto industry in this election cycle.
The accounts are clear. Fairshake and its affiliated super PAC support 33 House candidates; Coinbase and Ripple each spend $25 million in 2025; just opposing Sherrod Brown costs $55 million to support his opponent Jon Husted. Stand With Crypto endorses another 45 people.
So this is not scattered money, but targeted spending with clear objectives: whoever loosens market structure legislation, the money goes to them.
The mechanism is simple. The bill is blocked not by technical issues, but by the willingness of legislators. The industry cannot vote directly, but can decide who has money to advertise and who can survive the primaries.
My judgment: no matter who wins, regulatory clarity will increase. Ryan VanGrack put it bluntly—regardless of the outcome, the industry will still gain more clarity. It sounds like consolation, but it’s a calculated fact: $200 million can’t buy the presidency, but it can buy the baseline of no legislative regression.
What’s worth thinking about: compliance costs change from unpredictable to predictable, and the pricing logic changes. $BTC and $ETH used to be discounted due to policy black swans, and this discount is now converging.$ENA rose nine points to 0.19, $AAVE rose eight points back to 129.
Don't get excited, this is just the pit dug yesterday being filled back in. On the day of the incident, these two were the first to be hammered down, for a very practical reason: good liquidity, easy to cash out. Today's rise is due to short covering and bargain hunting, not because someone suddenly became optimistic about DeFi.
$xSKHY is on the other side. SK Hynix dropped nearly eight points last night, the entire storage sector was wiped out by Intel's earnings report, and the mapped coins can only mimic the face of the US stock market.
In short: the money on-chain is circulating among insiders, while the money for the mapped coins is being controlled by outsiders.
My bias: I usually just watch and don't act on rebounds like ENA, the hacker addresses haven't finished unloading their holdings; I've caught knives like XSKHY for most of my life, and my fingers still hurt now.🚨 The storage sector finally can't hold on! SNDK and MU are under continuous pressure, how far is the real bottom-fishing opportunity?
Brothers, the storage sector is really a bit dangerous this time!
The day before, SK Hynix was still supporting the scene, but now the catch-up selling pressure has arrived, and the whole sector's cover has been completely lifted.
📉 Several key stocks have already shown obvious pressure:
Google: Approaching the March low again, market sentiment continues to cool down.
Micron (MU): Testing an important support area from July.
SanDisk (SNDK): Also facing a key support test; if it continues to fall, bottom-fishing funds may have to wait a bit longer.
Intel (INTC): Q4 earnings guidance is below market expectations, stock price under pressure, adding more stress to the semiconductor sector.
🔥 What’s truly worth watching next is the U.S. midterm elections on November 3 and changes in the geopolitical situation.
I am currently considering two possibilities:
First: If the Republican Party loses control of both chambers, the market may continue to be under pressure in the short term, possibly experiencing a round of emotional sell-off, but after extreme emotions are released, a new reversal opportunity may brew.
Second: If Congress ends up split, market policy expectations may be repriced, and an early rebound cannot be ruled out.
📊 My trading plan:
Before November 3, focus on observing the storage sector’s support and capital absorption, consider phased left-side positioning rather than going all in at once.
Wait for election results and macro news to become clearer, then decide based on price confirmation whether to... Just came across some big news: ICE, the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, is actually targeting perpetual contracts. As soon as this news dropped, HYPE went absolutely hyped up.
Checked the on-chain data, and Wall Street’s instincts are truly impressive. Within just half an hour of the news, 12 new positions worth millions of dollars each popped up.
And all of them are long positions—9 longs versus 3 shorts, pushing the long-to-short ratio up to 3.64:1. There’s even a massive whale who went all in with a single trade of over $12 million at an average price of 82.47, which is probably already showing a profit now.
Looking at the weighted average price of this wave of longs, it’s roughly around $83. The fact that these major players are willing to put in hundreds of millions of real money at this level shows they’re not here for short-term plays. Even traditional financial giants are entering the market; these players are clearly positioning themselves early to bet on a breakout. That kind of execution is hard to argue with.

#OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 🚨 Stop blaming this crash on Binance being hacked! What you really need to watch out for is that BTC had already shown distribution signals!
Recently, many people have attributed this downturn to the Binance hack, but personally, I think this explanation clearly underestimates the market's own adjustment pressure.
Setting aside the news, just from a technical structure perspective, I believe there were signs of this decline early on.
📉 First: Around $87,000, BTC already showed obvious distribution signs.
A large amount of chips changed hands at high levels, and selling pressure in the market gradually increased. My judgment is that some major funds likely completed a phased reduction near $87,000.
Since there is already clear selling pressure at the high level, why expect the price to only pull back to $83,000 or even $80,000 and then immediately re-enter on a large scale?
For big money, this limited space may not be enough to form an attractive opportunity to reposition.
So I have been emphasizing the need to be cautious of a deeper round of pullback before the end of the month. First, release the trapped positions above and market risks, then talk about the next round of rally — this is more logical.
📊 Second: Refer to the historical trend from January 2023.
At that time, BTC also experienced a rapid surge followed by a deep correction. The current market structure, in my view, has some similarities to that period.
This does not mean history will definitely repeat itself, but historical trends are worth referencing.
If we are still in the early stage of a bull market, then this adjustment might just be the second wave pullback in the upward process, and does not necessarily mean the bull market is over.To be honest, I used to easily mistake a sharp increase in income as a market start signal, with only "don't miss out" on my mind. Later, I realized that a single impressive data point can't support long-term expectations.
This time, Lido's unexpected income from execution layer rewards rose to $605,000, and the DAO received 269.69 stETH in staking fees. But in the subsequent daily rewards report, the amount paid to the treasury was significantly reduced.
I think this is short-term good news on the income side and can't be taken as evidence of sustained growth: rewards fluctuate, and a drop in the next period is a reminder; protocol income also can't be directly equated with token holders' earnings. This kind of atmosphere easily makes people focus only on headlines and leverage themselves with reasons.
Now I follow two rules: first, investigate the source of abnormal income and then see if it can be sustained; second, don't increase leverage based on a single piece of information. Surviving is more important than being fast. Have you ever fallen into the trap of mistaking a one-time income surge for a trend? Would you be willing to share one of your own rules?STRK, XTZ, and CFX continuously add new tokens, persistently diluting the existing supply. Inflation is a long-term burden, and the coin price gradually faces downward pressure over time.
AVAX, APT, and DOT have capped supplies, with incremental supply steadily decreasing. Scarcity is the long-term strength, which, over time, drives price appreciation.The US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a recent large outflow on the 30th, with a single-day net outflow of $643 million, the highest in four months.
BlackRock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, and ARK's ARKB all experienced significant capital withdrawals, with Ethereum ETFs simultaneously seeing an outflow of $156 million.
Short-term market sentiment is weak; the key focus going forward is whether the funds can stabilize and if there are any signs of inflow.
