Bitcoin has been unable to break through for a long time; who exactly is suppressing it?
Bitcoin repeatedly tests the $80,000 mark but never manages to hold above it. What is the real issue?
Data shows that short positions dominate the futures market, with about $96.45 million liquidated in 24 hours, including approximately $52.67 million in long liquidations, indicating clear pressure on the bulls.
However, spot funds have not completely withdrawn. From October 26 to 28, BTC ETFs saw net inflows for three consecutive days, totaling about $428 million. Funds are coming in, but the price can't rise, indicating significant selling pressure above.
On the macro side, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates unchanged, but inflationary pressure remains; with the U.S. midterm elections approaching, policy expectations may further increase market volatility.
The focus going forward is on three points: whether $80,000 can hold, whether ETF funds will continue to flow in, and whether short positions will begin to ease.
If funds keep flowing in but BTC still can't break through, the real key may be how much selling pressure above has yet to be released.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 The Federal Reserve voted 10 to 2 to keep interest rates steady at 3.75% to 4.00%, with two dissenters advocating a 25 basis point hike. The three major U.S. stock indexes rose for the third consecutive trading day, but after earnings, Microsoft rose in after-hours trading while Google's parent company Alphabet dropped sharply.
From this news, my judgment is: keeping rates unchanged is not a comprehensive positive; the input-output accounting of companies is more important. Anyone running a small business knows that just because financing costs haven't risen doesn't mean orders have increased, let alone cash flow has improved.
AI investment is like expanding stores—money is spent first on equipment and personnel, but payments may not come in sync. My guess is, if investments don't soon translate into revenue and cash flow, the market's patience for high valuations will wane. However, since the data doesn't provide specific financial indicators for the two companies, I won't directly attribute the stock price divergence to which AI business is more profitable.
On the other hand, inflation remains high, and there are still two votes supporting a rate hike. I wouldn't interpret the pause in adjustments as an immediate easing of funds. Doing business requires keeping a risk reserve, and the same goes for trading: if you arrange funds solely based on expectations of improved financing conditions, once those expectations are dashed, turnover can easily become passive.
This time, I'm more concerned about how long it takes for companies to recoup the money they spend, rather than the index rising another day. Business friends, facing the risk of unchanged rates and costly expansion, would you demand shorter payment cycles or keep more cash on hand? On October 19, the US spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of $526.7 million, continuing with an inflow of $23.2 million on the 20th, and another $40.8 million on the 21st. The cumulative net inflow over these three trading days was about $591 million. Especially on the 19th, BlackRock's IBIT attracted $665.2 million in a single day, indicating that institutional buying has not completely disappeared despite the previous continuous decline. However, after BTC rebounded above $84,000, it fell back below $82,000 on the 22nd. I still tend to be optimistic about the subsequent rebound, but the selling pressure around $85,000 obviously has not been fully absorbed yet. If the ETF continues to see inflows but the price fails to break through for a long time, attention should be paid to whether other holders are reducing their positions during the rebound. $BTC $SOL $SNDK #Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, December rate hike disagreement intensifies $FIL runs across the entire network all day, but the real storage income is only 4 yuan.

Miners' electricity bills are rigid costs; what they mine can only be immediately dumped on the market to exchange for cash.
There is basically no new capital coming in to settle.
No business generates cash flow; it purely relies on miners continuously bleeding out.
Those now stepping in to hold long-term positions are, frankly, just paying the miners' electricity bills.

👇$BTC After analyzing the market changes above, let's now analyze and interpret the inflow and outflow of contract funds and ETFs.
Putting these two charts together reveals a very clear signal: short-term funds are starting to recover, but medium- to long-term pressure has not been fully relieved!
First, looking at the contract fund flows, the inflows and outflows have been fluctuating in recent cycles, especially in the 7D and 15D long cycles, with outflows still dominating overall. This indicates that the market's previous selling pressure remains; don't rush to catch the dip just because of one or two rebounds.
Next, looking at the ETF spot for BTC, from October 26 to 28 there have been three consecutive days of net inflows. Directionally, ETF funds are indeed continuously returning, and institutional buying shows signs of recovery, which is a short-term positive worth noting.
Now the key is to see if BTC can break through resistance with volume, while also observing whether ETFs can continue net inflows. If the price surges without volume and funds start flowing out again, beware of bulls getting trapped.
Further explanations will follow.
#三星Q3营业利润创新高，净利润不及预期 #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 The most important macro factors tend to lean toward which side.$BNB, can the exchange ecosystem buffer macro risk reduction? The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates but stated that inflation remains high, with dissenting votes leaning towards rate hikes, so risk appetite has not received a clear easing signal. Platform ecosystems can provide demand sources different from pure narrative coins; however, regulation, trading volume, and platform activity ultimately determine transmission. If on-chain fees and real usage remain stable, I would increase my resilience assessment; if funds withdraw while ecosystem indicators decline, the platform attributes will also struggle to remain intact.$GOOGL $BTC
Google plummeted after releasing its earnings report, retail investors panicked, but big players started bottom-fishing
After the earnings release, GOOGL plunged, with the price dropping from 328.04 to 288.22 USD
Interestingly, while the price was crashing, big players on Hyperliquid began to go long, with 19 accounts adding long positions totaling about 20.56 million USD
This is intriguing! On one side, the stock price is crashing and market sentiment is weakening; on the other, some are choosing to enter at this level, betting on a rebound later
Currently, some long positions have an average cost higher than the current price, so if Google continues to fall, these holders will also face pressure
I suggest focusing on the round number 300
Holding above 300, bullish
Sustained bottom consolidation, bearish
#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 [Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Google's Q3 revenue rose again, so why did profit and earnings per share fall short? Is the script reversed?
Pharaoh says directly, the script is not reversed; this is called "revenue is the face, profit is the inside, and Google's inside was bitten through by the AI money-eating beast."
First, look at the surface. Q3 revenue was $102.35 billion, up 16% year-over-year, exceeding the market expectation of $100 billion; Google Cloud revenue was $15.2 billion, soaring nearly 30% year-over-year. Everything looks pretty good.
So where is the trap?
First, the sky-high fines hit hard. The EU antitrust fine directly smashed $3.5 billion, forcibly pulling net profit down to $34.97 billion, a 9.5% year-over-year decline. Earnings per share were $2.87, not only missing the expected $2.95 but also down 4% year-over-year.
Second, AI capital expenditure is frightening. Google's capital expenditure guidance this year was directly raised from $91 billion to $93 billion, up to the upper limit of $93 billion.
Third, free cash flow is bleeding. Although it didn't turn negative like last quarter, to support this massive computing infrastructure, Google's cash flow pressure has reached its limit. Pichai himself said a strong cloud business must be built, otherwise "AI will eat up all the profits."
In the long run, the money giants pour in will eventually turn into data centers, power, and chip demand, solidifying the underlying narrative of the big pie. $BTC $SOL #谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 📌 SNDK SanDisk Earnings Preview
Earnings Release Time: October 30th, 04:30 AM (Beijing Time)
▪️ Current Revenue and EPS: Highly likely to meet expectations, with a probability of 75%-80%
▪️ Next Quarter Guidance (Key for Market): Low probability of providing strong guidance comparable to SK Hynix, about 45%
▪️ Key Logic: SK Hynix drives the entire storage sector, and expectations are likely already fully priced in. Historically, there have been cases of "earnings beating expectations but guidance being flat, followed by a market pullback after the earnings release."
▪️ Market Observation: Current long positions are crowded, so watch for profit-taking pressure. #三星Q3营业利润创新高，净利润不及预期 Is the AI sector about to collapse? After Google's disappointing results, Samsung is also falling
Today in the Korean stock market, Samsung Electronics initially surged about 3% at the open, but once the details came out, it immediately reversed and before noon it had dropped about 4%. The Kosdaq also fell below 6000 points
Are the results bad? I looked and they are not bad
Revenue was 195 trillion KRW, operating profit 107.4 trillion KRW, about 80.4 billion USD, soaring nearly 8 times year-on-year. The semiconductor DS division alone earned 106.5 trillion KRW, with a profit margin of 72%. The global tech companies' single-quarter operating profit basically set a new record again. They also announced a quarterly dividend of about 30 trillion KRW.
So why the drop?
To translate: all the good news is already priced in.
The day before, SK Hynix just reported strong results and also delivered a bigger shareholder return story, pushing the Kosdaq up 6% in one day. Today Samsung DS made 106.5 trillion KRW, some were betting it could reach nearly 110 trillion; the 30 trillion dividend is relatively weak compared to the buyback narrative nearby. The numbers are record-breaking but did not meet the elevated expectations.
Also, the mobile and home appliance DX division has lost 800 billion KRW for two consecutive quarters. Chip price increases feed the semiconductor division but also eat into the profits of their own finished products.
The market is starting to calculate how long this shovel rally can last, and it might be ending soon
Buy US stocks, follow @MSX_CN$BTC fell below 80,000 in the Asian session today. The trigger actually isn't in the crypto space but in Samsung's earnings report: the chip division's quarterly profit was 106.5 trillion KRW, slightly below the expected 108.5 trillion, causing Samsung's stock to drop over 5%. Nasdaq futures fell as much as 1.4%, dragging crypto down with it.
Binance spot BTC rebounded to 80,527 at noon but was pushed back down, now around 79,900, down 1.3% in 24h; $ETH at 2,309, down 1.9%.
From 0:00 UTC to 3:00 PM Beijing time today, seven exchanges liquidated a total of 96.9 million USD, 87% of which were long positions. ETH liquidations reached 33.6 million, more than BTC's 27.1 million. The largest single liquidation was actually a Binance ETH short at 2,333.8 liquidated for 6.53 million USD at 13:14 Beijing time.
OKX long-short account ratios are still 2.12 for BTC and 2.75 for ETH, with funding rates positive, indicating longs haven't fled much.
My view is that this time the entire risk asset class is being sold off together, not just crypto's own issue. How the Nasdaq performs when the US market opens tonight is more critical than on-chain data. Around 78,400 on Hyperliquid, there are still about 100 million USD in long liquidations pending.One of the most easily misunderstood things in October: more losing days does not mean the system has failed. Have you noticed that what really needs monitoring is not the win rate, but whether the position size is out of control on losing days? Reviewing: 17 profitable days and 10 losing days made it the worst performing month this year; but looking closer over 30 days, there is still a positive return of 40,000. The reason is not mysterious—it mainly involved altcoins, and when volatility increases, losing days naturally extend. On the other hand, discipline remained, so it did not escalate into a total loss of control, and later the focus continued on $BTC. What concerns me more is not this set of profits and losses, but the derivative structure behind it. When altcoin positions increase, the account curve becomes more dependent on funding rates and contract positions: when funding rates are positive and positions crowded, the cost-effectiveness of chasing longs actually decreases; once the price stalls, leverage costs first wear down patience, then trigger position reductions. This also explains why losing days cluster but the overall ledger is not yet harmed. Translated to sectors, BTC’s contract depth and liquidation absorption are more stable, with pullbacks being slowly digested; ETH follows risk appetite, with elasticity but more dependent on overall rhythm; altcoins are the volatile extremes, surging quickly when sentiment is good, but when funding rates reverse, chain reactions of deleveraging easily occur. So this is not a simple ranking of strength or weakness, but a reallocation of the same risk budget among three asset types. Bullish path: if BTC positions are moderate and funding rates not extreme, there is still a chance after consolidation to bring risk appetite back to ETH and some altcoins. Potential risk: altcoin contract positions continue to build up This round, Fasanara Capital's head of short positions is making a killing, holding $125 million in contracts, with 98.4% being shorts, currently floating a profit of $6.49 million! The largest position is a $ETH short, over $60 million, leveraged 25x! The average short entry price was 2458, and just the ETH position alone is floating a profit of $3.91 million, accounting for more than half of the total profit. But the most exciting part is the liquidation price at 3353; if ETH shows a bit of strength and surges upward a few times, this $60 million position will evaporate on the spot. Besides Ethereum, they also opened a basket of shorts: $ZEC, XMR, $BTC, SOL are all being shorted, not even sparing the recent popular small coins—it's basically indiscriminate shooting. However, such extreme one-sided positions are either genius moves or just appetizers for the main players.Wall Street has not rejected tokenized stocks. It has simply launched its own version, one that maintains the same ownership rights. DTCC's tokenization service went live today. Most people would see this as a headline. For $ONDO holders, the important and more useful part is smaller. What was actually launched:
1. DTC, a subsidiary of DTCC that holds most U.S. securities, can now create tokenized versions of the securities it holds.
2. These are digital twins of traditional securities with the same ownership rights and protections.
3. Institutions can switch eligible securities between traditional and tokenized forms and use them as collateral.
4. Early partners include Ondo, Broadridge, DRW, and Fireblocks. Ondo has already used these channels. In July this year, CRCLon and SPYon became the first tokenized stocks supported by DTC tokenized equities.
This is more important than the usual RWA announcements: public companies have always opposed unauthorized versions of tokenized stocks. They oppose control issues. This service is located within existing market infrastructure, not outside. This is a structure that institutions are actually willing to use.
My view: product appeal and institutional connections are not Ondo's unresolved issues. Value capture remains the issue as the protocol revenue switch directing fees to $ONDO is still not turned on. The market is pricing the infrastructure. But it has not yet priced who benefits when the infrastructure scales. Democrats sweep both chambers No, 453.9 shares, cost 149.78 XP, currently +3.03% in the green — the key to the sweep is the Senate, the market gives Democrats about a 65% chance to sweep, but the prediction model only gives about 56%, I think the probability of Republicans holding the Senate is underestimated $BTW This coin is already extremely inflated, with all the spot tokens held by the whales. The top 10 addresses hold 94%, the top 100 addresses hold 97%, not including the whales' insider trading. Retail investors basically have no tokens. The unlocked tokens are mostly given to investment institutions. Liquidity is only $1.65 million, causing extremely high slippage. The platform protocol income is only a few tens of thousands of dollars over 30 days, but the corresponding released market value is $18 billion. This kind of heavily controlled coin is just so willful; they play however they want, and no one can control it.BTC has been repeatedly tugging near $80,000 these past two days, each time looking like it might break down but then pulling back. These repeated recoveries are just clues and don't prove that the main players have already accumulated.
The market is not waiting for the Federal Reserve, but for the Bank of Japan's policy meeting on Friday. The pre-meeting expectation leans toward a pause in rate hikes in October, but the key is not whether to hike or not, but whether the pause is dovish or hawkish. Similarly, if they hold steady but signal that it's paving the way for a December hike, the funds will interpret that differently. Japanese officials are beginning to worry about runaway inflation; if this concern dominates the meeting, even if rates remain unchanged, a hawkish tone could push up Japanese bond yields and strengthen the yen.
We also need to watch the pace of the Fed and the BOJ. If the Fed leans dovish and the BOJ hawkish, the interest rate spread may narrow, causing funds that rely on the spread to shrink, adding another layer of pressure on risk assets. The timing is also tight, with Friday's close and the weekend overlapping with the meeting, which could amplify volatility.
Back to the daily chart. The 365-day moving average is around 78,500, and the bull-bear band is near 76,000. I still watch these two levels but don't consider them unbreakable bottoms. The repeated retests of 80,000 remind us that a cooling of speculation does not mean spot demand has recovered.
I guess large funds are slowly accumulating with limit orders between 75,000 and 80,000 — there are many bearish players, but the price is sluggish. But this is just speculation; if the structure deteriorates, it must be corrected. Besides BTC, high-beta assets like ETH and SOL often amplify volatility during such windows.
The approach is simple: wait for the meeting outcome before deciding whether to participate.#Microsoft Q1 Revenue Growth, Azure Growth Rate Reaches 48% Exceeding Expectations Microsoft delivered an earnings report for fiscal Q1 2027 that exceeded expectations, with total revenue of $92.3 billion, up 19% year-over-year; net profit of $36.6 billion, a significant 32% increase year-over-year, and EPS also higher than market expectations. After the earnings release, the stock strengthened in after-hours trading, forming a sharp contrast with Google. The core highlight this quarter is Azure, with quarterly revenue of $33.2 billion, a 48% year-over-year growth rate, accelerating further despite a high base. Copilot and Foundry are driving enterprise paid conversions, and AI business commercialization continues to progress smoothly. Microsoft Cloud's overall revenue reached $63.9 billion, up 30% year-over-year, with ample commercial order backlog, providing strong future revenue certainty. $MSFT also made significant investments in computing power, with capital expenditures of $45.2 billion this quarter and guidance to exceed $50 billion next quarter, with full-year CAPEX expected at $170 billion. The key difference is that Microsoft still maintains positive free cash flow; AI investments have not eroded profits. While expanding computing power, profitability and cash flow are growing simultaneously, which is the core logic behind investors willing to assign it a higher valuation. Compared to $GOOGL, the market is redefining AI camps: one group burns money for growth with profit pressure; the other is Microsoft, where AI computing power investments can directly convert into cloud orders and Copilot subscription revenue. Risks also exist: rising computing costs may suppress gross margins, and competition in the intelligent agent field is intensifying. Going forward, it will be important to see if Azure's gross margin can be maintained and if Copilot... $MKR

Here's an analysis of $BTC $SOL $ETH
The market has been continuously dropping from around 84900 to a low of 79000, with a wick stabilizing but without volume. Afterwards, it has been consolidating sideways between 79000-81000. Last night, the Federal Reserve meeting met expectations with no change in interest rates. The Fed Chair's speech caused the market to rise first then fall. There was a 24-hour long/short liquidation of 357 million.
This morning, the market dropped to around 79600 with clear signs of stabilization. There is capital supporting the downside, plus a large order of 85 million USD between 79500-79550, forming a support level. Therefore, a bottom-fishing opportunity is present. Current position is 79800 #Google Q3 revenue growth, net profit decline, earnings per share below expectations Looking at the overall trend of Ethereum, the complete bearish wave from the 2750 high is the most certain and profitable phase of this round of the market. Currently, the core bearish profits of this wave have been fully realized, and the market pattern has completely changed.
The current key support at 2280 is strongly defended by major funds. This point is a watershed for the short-term market. Once it is effectively broken, the market is very likely to enter an uncontrollable decline. Therefore, at this stage, decisively avoid short-selling operations; the bearish trading window has closed.
Considering the medium- to long-term trend, the subsequent quality layout points are very clear: the high short opportunity around the 2500 range and the low long opportunity around the 2130 range are the only high cost-performance trend trades. Other ranges are only suitable for small position short-term arbitrage.
Currently, I have positioned a small long at 2300. As the monthly close approaches, the market is expected to form a long lower shadow, laying a quality high and low point foundation for next month's market. In trading, I always maintain a light position, never choosing to be out of the market and waiting. I continuously align with the market rhythm, waiting for precise trend opportunities to materialize and seize subsequent certain wave opportunities. $BTC $ETH #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 BTC at $79,900, do you dare to take it?
The Fed just turned hawkish, whales sold off 8,000 coins in 24 hours, BTC dropped to 79,900 — but RSI is already oversold. Is this the bottom, or the last cut before the bottom?
Someone in the group shouted "It's going back to 60,000," your finger hovers over the close position button, wanting to cut losses but afraid of cutting at the floor.
I understand. Because every key support level is a slaughterhouse for retail investors.
First thing: The Fed didn’t kill you, it’s the words "higher for longer" that did.
On October 28, the FOMC kept rates unchanged at 3.75%-4.00%, as expected. But the statement changed the economy description from "solid" to "strong," inflation still described as "elevated," and two officials directly advocated for rate hikes.
After the meeting, BTC surged to 81,700, then fell back during the Asian session. The probability of a December rate hike once soared to 70%-85%.
The market isn’t afraid of no rate cuts; it’s afraid that "the economy is too strong, so no rate cuts."
But note — the hawkish signals are partially priced in. The real verdict comes from Q3 GDP and September PCE on October 29. Core PCE is expected at 3.6%; if hotter, 79,000 won’t hold; if cooling, a rebound is imminent.
Second thing: Whales sold 8,000 coins, are you panicking? But ETFs are still buying.
Whales sold over 8,000 BTC in 24 hours, sounds scary. But on the same day, US spot Bitcoin ETFs had net inflows of about $137 million, mainly into IBIT.
There were outflows from ETFs earlier this month, but buying is still ongoing. BTC has dropped 36% from the October 2025 ATH of 126,000, with leveraged longs liquidated repeatedly.
Third thing: The technicals are walking a tightrope, 79,000 is the lifeline.
Falling from 84,500-85,000, breaking below the 50-day EMA (80,700-81,700), now testing 79,000-80,000. Daily RSI is 34-40, oversold but no clear divergence yet. Volume expands on declines, dominated by long liquidations.
Daily structure shows lower highs, oscillating downward.
Hold 79,000 and rebound with volume to reclaim 81,000: short-term bottoming.
Break 79,000 with 4H confirmation: opens space to 76,000.
Bull vs. bear, you decide:
On one side:
ETFs still have net inflows, IBIT supports
Supply shrinks post-halving, circulating 20.1 million coins, high hash rate
BTC dominance at 59%, still resilient against altcoins
RSI oversold, leveraged positions cleared
On the other side:
Fed hawkish, 70%-85% chance of December hike
PCE/GDP data risks, US bond yields near 5%, strong dollar
Whales taking profits, technical breakdown
End-of-month options expiry + midterm elections in November amplify volatility
Key levels:
Resistance above: 80,500-81,000 (former support turned resistance + moving averages) → 81,700-82,500 → 84,000+
Support below: 79,600-79,000 (recent lows + Fibonacci) → 77,000-78,000 (structure/cost zone) → 76,000
Trading strategy:
Short term (1-3 days):
Hold 79,600-79,000, rebound with volume and reclaim 80,500, light long positions targeting 81,000-81,700, stop loss below 78,800.
Break 79,000 with 4H close confirmation, go short targeting 78,000-77,000, stop loss above 79,500.
Leverage within 5-10x, position size 5-10%.
Mid term (1-2 weeks):
Buy in batches near 79,000, reduce positions at 81,000-82,500; if break 77,000, wait or hedge.
Wait for three signals: PCE/GDP data release + continuous ETF inflows + reclaim 50-day moving average. Once above 81,000, consider mid-term longs.
Long term:
Current position near structural support, can dollar-cost average in batches, but short-term volatility is high, don’t go all in. Halving won’t save your short-term trades but can save your long-term positions.
Strict stop loss, never fully loaded. Watch liquidation heatmaps and funding rates; currently neutral to bearish. If worried about systemic risk, use options or reduce overall exposure.
BTC now is like the end of 2022 —
Everyone waits for lower prices, but it starts when no one believes. But this time, don’t gamble. 79,900 is neither bottom nor top, it’s a truth mirror: revealing who is betting and who is waiting.
You fear the drop; the whales fear you won’t cut losses.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Brokerages will be the first to qualify for testing clients. Reading this Russian news, what I care most about is this order of priority. The investor testing standards have been finalized, and the draft was submitted last week to the Central Bank's Basic Standards Committee. It is expected that brokerages will begin testing as early as the end of November.
In this story, an exam has been added before the entry to crypto investment, with brokerages taking the examiner's position first. I tend to see this as a positive development in the construction of regulated channels, rather than a positive for coin prices: understanding ability must be tested before purchase, at least putting risk awareness on the table. But whether the test can truly screen for understanding cannot be judged solely by the existence of standards.
My own speculation is that if the questions can verify investors' understanding of risks, then this threshold is meaningful; if it is just about memorizing answers to pass, it easily becomes a mere formality. What do you all think? Will this story lead to effective user protection, or just another procedural step?Looking toward 2027, the challenge is sustaining margins as production expands and competitors invest to capture the same opportunity.
Multi year contracts can improve revenue visibility, but pricing power and execution will determine how much of that demand translates into lasting profit.
Samsung is benefiting from the AI memory boom. The bigger test is whether it can preserve that advantage as the industry scales.
#SamsungQ3RecordProfit Yet the quarter was not entirely smooth. Net profit came in below expectations, while the Device Experience division posted an operating loss.
Samsung’s headline numbers are impressive, but the strength remains concentrated in semiconductors.
The company also spent KRW 29T on capital expenditure during the quarter, showing how expensive it is to build capacity for this demand.
#SamsungQ3RecordProfit I prefer to see Sony's incubation plan this time as a "commercial shortcoming remedy" rather than the starting gun for an imminent explosion of on-chain entertainment. For development teams lacking publishing and operational capabilities, this support might be more tangible than a big company's brand.
Sony Group announced the launch of a global on-chain entertainment incubation plan, targeting global creators and startups, supporting entertainment products and services developed based on Soneium, providing technical, collaboration, business development, marketing, community operation, and financing support. The previous two rounds have supported 43 projects since 2024, and the new plan's application period is from October to December 2026, with selection expected to continue until March 2027.
What concerns me is that the support list does not stop at technical infrastructure. Creating entertainment products is only halfway; how to reach the audience, build communities, and maintain operations also consume resources. If these supports can be implemented, I speculate that the resistance for small teams to move from prototype to commercialization will be somewhat reduced.
However, I will not automatically translate "Sony incubation" as "Sony popular IP going on-chain," as the materials do not promise this. The 43 projects indicate previous investment but cannot directly prove commercial success; this round still requires application and selection, so there is a distance from results being realized.
My judgment is that this is more favorable to the developer supply side and still far from certainty on the consumer side. What I want to see next is how the incubation support is implemented, rather than pricing the big company's halo in advance.Two tech companies released earnings reports early this morning. Looking at them together is more interesting than reading the resolutions.
Google's revenue is growing, but profits are falling, and earnings per share missed expectations. Microsoft’s Azure grew 48%, exceeding expectations.
Both are in AI, but the difference lies in this: Google is still spending money to compete for talent, while Microsoft has already started charging enterprises.
Whether enterprises are willing to pay for AI has been debated for a year. Microsoft's earnings report provides a reference answer: yes, and they are paying more and more. The 48% growth is not just a story; it comes from contracts signed with one enterprise after another.
So now AI should be viewed in layers, not as a single sector: chip sellers, cloud sellers, and those spending money to develop applications. The first two layers are counting money, while the third is still struggling. Google's problem is not that its AI is bad, but that its AI hasn’t figured out who to charge yet.
In the future, when you see AI news, don’t first ask if the technology is good; first ask, who is paying?
Where the money is, that’s where the market is.
Who do you think will be the next to deliver impressive results?
#微软Q1营收增长，Azure增速至48%超预期 $MSFT $GOOGL Spending big on AI again, but this time the market only rewards the one "showing revenue"
After hours on 10/28, GOOGL plunged about 10%, while MSFT surged nearly 7% before pulling back. Both are heavily investing in AI, but the market reacted oppositely.
The difference in one sentence: whether the money turns into revenue. Alphabet Q3 GAAP EPS was $2.12 (an $8.7 billion equity investment loss dragged down EPS by 0.55); adjusted EPS was 2.67, below the expected 3.02. Quarterly capex was 51.4 billion, FCF negative 9.07 billion, negative for two consecutive quarters. MSFT Azure grew 48%, and the market sees investment turning into revenue.
That same night, ServiceNow and Fortinet both dropped over 15% after hours, with Fortinet also lowering its full-year service revenue guidance.
I think the AI market has shifted from "who invests the most" to "who recovers the most." Tonight at 20:30 (Taiwan) Q3 GDP preliminary + September PCE, 21:30 US market opens. Who will be next to be tested?
The same theme can yield completely opposite results. Rather than betting on a single stock, it’s more important to organize your judgment into a trackable strategy, which is what the on-chain strategy platform OWL is doing.
#AI #USStocks The most eye-catching on today's afternoon trending list is $AXIS (Axis Robotics). As of 15:00 Beijing time on October 29 (CoinGecko), AXIS is priced at $0.1449, down about 35% in 24 hours, down about 54% in 7 days, more than halved from the October 24 high of 0.370; 24-hour trading volume is about $116 million, nearly 5 times the market cap (about $23.9 million), indicating extremely high turnover.
No negative news about the project itself has been seen; the main reason is profit-taking after a more than threefold surge earlier. The project focuses on physical AI/robot training data, where people teach robots to work in simulated environments to generate data, riding the hottest narrative this year.
My view: Only 16.5% is circulating, FDV is about $145 million, a thin market cap means fast rises and falls. A good narrative does not equal a price bottom; amplified trading volume often signals the greatest divergence. I am more concerned whether the volume can shrink and how the subsequent unlocking schedule will be arranged. Real opportunities usually appear after everyone stops discussing it.As soon as Anthropic's prospectus came out, why is the entire internet questioning its huge computing power commitments? Is it about to blow up? Pharaoh directly said, it's not about blowing up, it's Wall Street's "accounting mode" kicking in. This isn't a prospectus; it's a sky-high IOU, and the market is now afraid it won't be able to repay it. Let's first see how big this IOU is. The prospectus reveals that Anthropic promises to pay SpaceX, Amazon AWS, and Google Cloud up to hundreds of billions of dollars in computing power fees over the next few years. Just the agreement with SpaceX requires paying $1.25 billion per month by 2029. It's like Pharaoh ordered water in the desert for ten years; whether anyone buys my camels or not, I have to pay for the water on time. What is the market questioning? First, can revenue keep up with the bills? Although Anthropic's annualized revenue has surged to $65 billion, can the speed of earning that money cover these fixed expenses that run into hundreds of billions? If AI demand slows down even a bit, this will become a crushing burden on cash flow. Second, over-reliance on computing power. Most computing power is locked with a few giants. SpaceX has the right to reclaim computing resources under certain conditions, leaving Anthropic extremely passive in negotiations, basically being choked. Third, amortization pressure. To support this computing power, the upfront investment in buying GPUs and building data centers is huge, and the depreciation expense allocated to each quarter will directly eat up profits completely. What does this mean for Bitcoin? The whale channel has been quite conflicted these days — the US spot BTC ETF has seen net inflows for three consecutive trading days (approximately 110M / 176M / 137M USD, totaling about 420M USD); meanwhile, in the same window, the ETH ETF is still bleeding, with a cumulative net outflow of about 1.3B in October.
The key point: within the same institutional channel, BTC is quietly accumulating while ETH is losing — this is a divergence in allocation preference, not the whole market shouting the same direction.
A two- or three-day inflow ≠ trend reversal; a large monthly outflow ≠ zeroing out. Keep an eye on whether IBIT / ETHA can narrow this divergence going forward.
Source: Farside (disclosure caliber), confidence medium-high. Do you trust more in "money piling into BTC" or "ETH being temporarily squeezed"? See you in the comments. $BTC $ETH The Federal Reserve pauses rate hikes, with a second test tonight.
The Fed kept rates at 3.75%–4.00%, as expected, but this is not truly positive news. The vote was 10 to 2, with two members directly supporting a 25 basis point hike; the statement also upgraded the economic assessment to "strong expansion," while emphasizing that inflation remains high, indicating growing internal hawkish divisions.
Market reactions are also contradictory. The S&P and Nasdaq both rose about 0.3%, the dollar index fell back to around 102, but the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.02%. Brent crude remains above $110, and high oil prices continue to increase the risk of inflation volatility. The Bank of Canada also raised rates by 25 basis points, so the global monetary environment has not shifted to easing.
Tonight at 20:30 Beijing time, the U.S. will release the preliminary Q3 GDP and September PCE inflation data, which will be the key for the next round of volatility.
For BTC and ETH, the pause in rate hikes has already been priced in. With data still hot, U.S. Treasuries and the dollar strengthening again, BTC may retest $80,000, and ETH’s decline could be greater; only if PCE cools down and the dollar and Treasury yields fall together will the rebound be sustainable.
Therefore, I remain neutral to slightly bearish and will not rush to go long just because of the words "no rate hike.""The vulnerability has been disclosed," these are the words I care about most. In daily life, discovering a leaking roof is actually a good thing, but marking the leak spots doesn't mean the tiles have been repaired. After retiring and studying digital assets, I often remind myself: don't mistake finding a problem for solving it.
This time, the language model discovered three vulnerabilities that can crash bitcoin nodes on Windows and Mac, which are also the first cases disclosed under Core's new disclosure policy. In my view, this matters more to node operators than market sentiment. AI helping to find vulnerabilities is progress in security tools; but after disclosure, whether maintainers can respond promptly is what determines if the nodes can run stably. The material doesn't mention the repair status, so I won't declare it safe on its behalf.
A reminder to young friends: don't just focus on the fresh term "AI discovery," also pay attention to the follow-up repair notes. When you judge the impact of such news, do you first look at how severe the vulnerability is, or whether the fix is adequate? $BTC contract long-short ratio directly hit 2.39, with historical percentile reaching 98%.
Large accounts have been reducing positions all along, while retail investors are aggressively adding leverage and holding on desperately.
The spot market has no bottom-supporting buy orders at all; it's just a bunch of high-leverage contracts stacked precariously on the edge of a cliff.
With this structure, the market makers even save the cost of smashing the market; by removing a few support orders, the longs will trample each other and bring the market down.

👇[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
As expected, the Federal Reserve held steady, but the noise about a rate hike in December is growing louder. What’s next for Bitcoin?
Pharaoh says straight up, don’t just focus on “holding steady”—that’s already an open secret. The real action is in the dot plot and what Waller says; whether there will be a hike in December is now like a mystery box.
First, look at this statement. The Fed unanimously voted to keep rates at 3.75%-4.00%, but the statement removed the phrase “inflation is moving down toward the 2% target” and replaced it with “inflation remains elevated.”
Why such a big split? Hawks (like Harker and Logan) think inflation is too resilient and financial conditions aren’t tight enough, so another hike is necessary. Doves (like Williams) see cracks in the labor market and think there’s no rush to act.
What does this mean for Bitcoin?
In the short term, the bad news is priced in, and Bitcoin caught a breather. After the decision, Bitcoin stabilized around 79,000 and didn’t continue to drop.
But in the medium term, the sword hanging over its head hasn’t been removed. As long as the possibility of a December hike remains, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields will struggle to truly fall. The 80,000 level is a psychological barrier above, and 78,000 is strong support below.
Pharaoh gives you a practical strategy: This is a classic “consolidation shakeout,” so don’t chase highs or panic sell in the middle. Wait for a pullback to 78,500–78,800 to stabilize, then lightly try going long with a stop loss at 77,800 $BTC $ETH #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Bitcoin has fallen back below the $84,000 to $85,000 range, which has blocked price increases four times this year. The inflow of funds into the US spot Bitcoin ETF has significantly cooled, with a net inflow of only about $67 million in the past two weeks; the main buy orders on Binance's spot order book have also shifted down to $78,000 to $79,000, with a scale of about $42 million. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's one-month realized volatility has dropped to about 25%, returning to the summer 2023 level; since August, the realized losses triggered by each round of declines have also continued to narrow, indicating that selling pressure has eased. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC In today's market rebound latest updates, it mentioned again the "high overlap of all Litecoin and Dogecoin miners."
Many people worry daily whether miners will sell off DOGE to crash the market, but they actually don't understand the brilliance of merged mining. Because LTC and DOGE are mined using the same algorithm, miners don't need to spend extra on electricity or computing power to get DOGE rewards while mining LTC for free.
This means the miners' costs are already covered by Litecoin, and selling $DOGE is pure profit. There won't be panic sell-offs due to "mining losses." This effectively builds an extremely strong reinforced concrete safe harbor for DOGE's network hashrate security and price defense.
The market bounced back from $0.07743 to $0.07848, with buying pressure and accumulation still steady.
Fundamentally, there are solid moats everywhere; short-term fluctuations should be seen as shakeouts that bring blessings.Strategy's earnings report is approaching, and the rebound in BTC book gains is likely to be the most eye-catching headline. But there is a date worth remembering: the company already disclosed on October 5 that it expected Q3 digital asset gains of about $20.91 billion.
In other words, this large figure did not suddenly appear only when the earnings report was released.
If the final result is close to the previous estimate, the market is more likely to next ask: Are there any new financing arrangements? Is the dollar reserve sufficient? What changes have occurred in the capital structure?
This is also why I am reluctant to judge Strategy solely based on net profit. BTC price increases can quickly improve book performance, but funding needs such as interest and preferred stock dividends still require specific cash arrangements.
Taxes will also affect the final profit. The company previously disclosed related deferred tax expense estimates, so digital asset gains cannot be directly regarded as the final profit shareholders receive.
I acknowledge the improvement brought by the BTC rebound, but the report confirms a market trend that has already occurred; the stock price still needs to consider upcoming changes.
Therefore, for this earnings report, I am more interested in how management plans for the next few quarters. Large gains are worth noting, but if you use a number the market already knows to expect a brand-new valuation increase, you must first think clearly: where exactly is the new information?
#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 BTC今天涨0.49%，但这一周还跌4.25%。日线转涨、周线仍跌——这是止跌信号吗？ 先说新闻。价格侧：BTC报80,948.4美元，24小时 +0.49%、近一周 -4.25%；20日区间79,220.1到84,899.6。资金侧：ETF最新单日净流入1.115亿、5日净流出2,870万、10日净流入3.082亿。情绪侧：恐惧贪婪指数48到51。宏观侧：美元102.43（+0.10%）、黄金4,065.7（+0.68%）、标普500 7,722.6（+0.60%）。 再看资金影响。判断止跌要看三个条件：一是日线转涨（已满足）；二是情绪止跌回升（已满足，48到51）；三是资金转为持续流入（部分满足，单日转正但5日仍负）。三个条件里两个半满足，说明止跌信号正在形成，但还没确认。 对BTC的含义：止跌和反转是两件事。止跌只需要卖压消失，反转需要买盘持续。目前是止跌的早期——价格在79,220上方反复测试，卖压递减。要确认反转，需要看到周线转正加资金连续流入。 我接下来盯四个指标：一是周线能否收窄跌幅；二是5日资金口径能否转正；三是BTC能否站上82,000；四是79,220是否继续守住。#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温
The most interesting thing about the Fed this time
is not that it kept interest rates unchanged,
but that internal divisions have already emerged.
Some worry about the economy,
while others are more concerned about inflation.
This indicates that the upcoming rate cuts
may not be as simple as everyone thinks.
Cut rates,
but if inflation rises again,
previous efforts might be wasted.
Don't cut rates,
interest rates remain high,
corporate financing costs won't come down,
and the economy and employment might not hold up.
The Fed is now facing
a dilemma between inflation and the economy.
For the crypto community,
you can't simply take rate cuts as a positive.
Moreover, the market never just trades on the final interest rate outcome,
but also on the gap between that outcome and the original expectations.
If everyone has already priced in a rate cut in December,
and the final cut is less than expected,
even without a rate hike,
the market could still fall.
So going forward,
besides watching the Fed's statements,
you also need to see how inflation and employment data develop.
What do you think?
Is it still possible for the Fed to continue cutting rates in December,
or is the market's expectation for rate cuts
somewhat too optimistic?
$BTC "Compensation will be given for staking rewards missed during user migration," this statement from Solflare gives me a bit of a déjà vu from the last round: usually, we check yields, but only revisit service providers and trust boundaries after a security incident. Veteran users seeing such announcements will somewhat pause first.
This time, unlike simply switching nodes, the compensation also brings the user costs during migration to the forefront. The material mentions that after a security incident with the staking service provider, a new validator node has gone live, and users can migrate themselves or wait for the application update to operate. I think compensation is a plus for repairing trust, but it is not proof that the security issue has been resolved: making up for rewards and preventing future incidents are two different matters.
Looking at it in the cycle, I prefer to see this as a test of the service's ability to handle aftermath rather than a positive sign for the sector. To really assess the quality, we still need to see if the migration and compensation can be effectively implemented. Do veteran users share the same familiarity? Would you migrate first or wait for clearer explanations about the security incident?#谷歌Q3營收增長，淨利潤下滑、每股收益不及預期 This earnings report from Google might put a damper on this round of AI rebound.
After hours, AI-related stocks collectively turned down, with Google plummeting nearly 10%, wiping out half a year's gains overnight.
The most glaring issue isn't revenue—$127.58 billion, up 25%, just slightly below expectations—but cash flow: operating cash flow for the quarter was $42.29 billion, but capital expenditures hit $51.36 billion, pushing free cash flow down to negative $9.07 billion, worsening quarter over quarter.
But saying AI demand has collapsed doesn't hold up. Cloud revenue doubled to $30.71 billion, showing real demand being converted into actual money.
The real question is: when will this growth cover the continuously expanding bills?
If other giants also report "rising revenue but pressured cash flow," market faith in AI returns will be discounted; conversely, if cloud business profits and cash recovery improve, doubts will naturally fade.
The answer isn't in sentiment but in the next quarter's earnings report.The Predict airdrop isn't very significant for those who farm tokens on-chain. I remember He Yi said back in 2023 that if you want to farm tokens, use Binance Wallet with one-on-one real-name verification to avoid fake farming.
This has indeed been proven now. Hard work farming tokens on-chain doesn't yield as much as participating in Binance Wallet's new token launches. The current airdrops no longer have a beneficial effect. After farming zk in 2024, I stopped farming tokens on-chain altogether.
Also, farmers can choose between two airdrop options: one is to take the airdrop immediately but only get 35% of the tokens; the other is to stake for one year and receive all the tokens. For this, I have no hesitation in taking the 35% and selling them right away.
Farming tokens is farming tokens, trading coins is trading coins—these are two different things. Because I didn't understand this, I didn't sell the STRK I farmed, which was worth 300,000 RMB, and even bought $10,000 more, only to see it drop over 90% in the end.
In most cases, the tokens farmed hit their highest price when they first list on exchanges, then steadily decline to zero. Predict won't be an exception, especially starting with a market cap of over $1 billion. Given the current state of altcoins in the crypto space, only a saint could hold the bag and keep them afloat.BTC smart money position core data analysis, take a look before placing orders to avoid many detours!!!

Only up 0.64% in 24 hours. Nasdaq rang the bell and did quarterly burns, full spectacle, surged to 751 but was immediately pushed back to 734. The 751 to 755 range is a dense resistance zone on the 4-hour chart, buyers aren't following, the sense of ceremony is just a sense of ceremony

#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 My summary of this market situation is: yesterday the shorts were liquidated, today the longs are liquidated, this round of washing out is really even 😅
The liquidation direction flipped really fast today. Yesterday the shorts couldn't hold and got taken out first, today it's the longs getting washed out: so far today, about 94.4 million contracts across seven exchanges have been liquidated, with longs accounting for 87% and shorts only 12.1 million.
By coin, ETH had the most liquidations, about 33.48 million; BTC about 26.9 million, with longs making up 95.6%. This drop clearly targeted those chasing longs just above the round number levels; SOL only had a bit over 3 million liquidated, leverage there is not heavy; ZEC about 2.2 million, volume is also small.
But I have to say, the total volume isn't actually large. This isn't a waterfall-style stampede, but a liquidation caused by a slow grind down. Interestingly, the largest single liquidation was actually a short on ETH of about 6.5 million. Even in the main story of longs being washed out, some shorts also bet wrong and got hit. Over two days, leverage on both sides has been cleared in turn. This kind of two-way clearing usually happens before major events land.
Tonight is data night, with GDP and PCE first, followed by Europe's decision. One advantage of cleaning out positions early is that when the data really gives direction, the market moves more decisively without having to first digest a bunch of leveraged positions.
My view is, short-term I won't bottom-fish nor chase shorts: longs have just been washed out, shorts are barely hurt, the initiative is still in the shorts' hands; wait for the data to land and see if positions get refilled. Only if refilling follows can it be considered truly stable. I don't recognize a price bounce first.The Federal Reserve did not cut interest rates; surprisingly, there were two votes in favor of a rate hike! What should FIL and DOGE watch out for?
On October 28, the Federal Reserve kept the federal funds rate target range at 3.75%–4.00%, passing the decision with a 10 to 2 vote. The two dissenters did not call for a rate cut but advocated for a 25 basis point increase.
I believe this is the detail that altcoins need to be wary of. The statement noted that U.S. economic activity remains strong and employment is generally stable, but inflation is still elevated. "Maintaining the rate" should not be directly interpreted as "imminent easing," nor does it mean altcoins are about to take off.
Next, I will focus on three signals:
① Whether U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar continue to strengthen, affecting market risk appetite;
② Whether BTC can maintain its trend after the news settles, rather than just a brief spike;
③ Whether FIL and DOGE show sustained trading volume and capital support during their rise.
There is also a distinction that must be made clear: two votes supporting a rate hike do not mean the next meeting will definitely raise rates; an unchanged policy rate does not mean liquidity remains completely unchanged.
The Fed's schedule shows that the minutes of this meeting will be released on November 18, and the next rate meeting is scheduled for December 8–9. My strategy is to guess less about news and focus more on capital verification.
Do you think FIL and DOGE need a rate cut or new capital the most for their next rally?
#BTC #FIL #DOGE #FOMC
Not investment advice.Firedancer collects vulnerability reports, now requiring burning 1 SOL upfront, regardless of whether the report is useful or not, this 1 SOL is non-refundable. The rules were updated on October 26, triggered by an audit competition held this spring.
The competition ran from April 9 to May 9, with a prize pool of 1 million USD. 162 researchers submitted 809 reports, averaging 5 reports per person. Jump judged that almost every report involved AI. Only 127 independent findings were considered valid, about half of which were duplicates, and the audit backlog peaked at 299 reports. If this rule had been applied then, burning 809 SOL for 809 reports would have cost about 80,000 USD.
The competition did uncover serious issues, including a scheduling vulnerability that could alter the transaction execution order, causing consensus divergence among validator nodes. Someone at Jump wrote that AI makes finding vulnerabilities cheap, but verifying the correctness of a report remains expensive.
In the previous competition, each report cost 100 USD, and a person could submit only one report per day. Now it’s changed to burning tokens; at 100 USD per token, the threshold is basically unchanged, but token price fluctuations will affect the threshold accordingly. The highest reward for a serious vulnerability related to Alpenglow is 300,000 USD. Burned SOL is permanently removed from circulation, but even with many reports, it has basically no impact on the total supply. $SOL The outcome of the Federal Reserve meeting on October 28 was leaked in advance: a 90% probability of maintaining the 3.75%–4.00% rate unchanged, and the result was exactly as predicted. DOGE applauded along—bouncing from 0.078 to 0.080, then retracting to 0.0797 as the applause faded. My assessment: this is not a reaction, but a courtesy.
Whether holding steady counts as good news depends on whether there was a surprise. This meeting had no surprises and was actually a "hawkish enhanced version": the dissenting votes were from those who thought it wasn’t hawkish enough, the economic description was upgraded from "solid" to "strong," and the probability of a rate hike in December was 70-80%—translated into plain language, it’s not that there won’t be a hike, just that there won’t be one this time. A meeting whose script can be recited verbatim cannot provide the surprises needed for good news.
What’s more interesting is DOGE’s composure. After dropping nearly 90% from its peak, the chips scared off by the rate hike have long fled, leaving holders who watch Bitcoin’s mood, community enthusiasm, and ecosystem progress. No matter how loud the Fed’s voice is, it only registers as white noise in this dog’s ears—the marginal effect of macro narratives diminishes like this.
So the real information from this event is not what was said in Washington, but what $DOGE did not do. Going forward, what’s worth watching is whether inflation data will throw out lines beyond the script, and the activity on the dog’s own chain.
