6.5 million WLD tokens deposited to the exchange, let's start with a bit of cold water: this is not evidence that the tokens have "already been dumped," I tend to see it as supply pressure waiting to be absorbed. In the material, this dormant address that once received tokens from the Worldcoin team has transferred out the entire batch, and the token price has recently been declining.
I lean bearish for two reasons: tokens entering the exchange means potential selling becomes easier; if selling follows, actual selling pressure will form, this is my speculation. Another point is that a decrease in value does not mean holders are reluctant to sell; the background of token recipients is different, so you can't apply ordinary users' loss aversion psychology here. Interpreting a significant value drop as a reason for holding back from selling, I think, doesn't hold up.
Of course, bulls might disagree. If we later see this batch of deposits being continuously absorbed by buying demand, and the price no longer weakens due to new selling pressure, I will retract my bearish stance. Are you bullish or bearish? Do you see this deposit as a warning of selling pressure, or as an overreaction of sentiment? Share your reasons.The October FOMC decision will be released tonight, and the real direction of BTC may only be clear by 2:30!
The interest rate decision will be announced at 2:00 AM, and the market reaction after Powell's speech at 2:30 AM is the main event tonight.
Currently, the probability of a rate hike is only about 7%, and the market has basically priced in no change in rates. The real uncertainty lies in how Powell balances "pausing rate hikes" with the possibility of a hike in December. Market expectations for a December hike have exceeded 70%. If he emphasizes that high rates will be maintained longer, BTC and risk assets may still face pressure.
There is also a clear divergence in capital flows:
📊 BTC spot ETF net inflow was $110 million in a single day, but the cumulative net outflow in October is still $202 million, so a trend reversal cannot be confirmed yet.
⚠️ The contract long-short ratio has risen to 2.39, near the 98th percentile historically. Large holders are reducing positions, while retail investors keep levering up, so short-term sentiment is unstable.
Tonight's trading approach:
Do not bet on direction in advance; wait for the real movement after the press conference.
🔹 If BTC rebounds and the long-short ratio continues to rise, cautiously chase longs and beware of a false rally driven by leverage.
🔹 If hawkish remarks cause BTC to pull back to 79,100–79,200, and spot CVD starts to rise while the long-short ratio falls simultaneously, watch for a healthier buy signal.
#FedKeepsRatesUnchanged Riding on AI, $LPT is completely dead. Why is $LINK the only one thriving as a cash cow? Let's talk about the fate of $0G.
From its peak at $27.6, it has dropped over 94%, currently breaking below $1.5. The combined daily spot trading volume of the two major mainstream platforms is less than 200,000 U, with liquidity almost flatlining like an ECG. Both are early infrastructure projects, so why have most become zombie coins, while only LINK can survive the cycle? The core issue is whether there are irreplaceable native paying customers.
LINK's payers are DeFi systems on-chain with hundreds of billions of dollars in scale. Without oracle price feeds, they would directly face liquidation failures and hacker attacks, making paid calls a rigid demand. LPT is pegged to traditional off-chain tech companies, but in reality, privacy-sensitive and time-critical transcoding and inference are hard to deliver to anonymous nodes with no guarantees on latency or SLA. Lacking external revenue, the protocol can only subsidize nodes through inflation, ultimately becoming a volume-less hemorrhage of one-way selling and market maker withdrawal in the secondary market.
This dilemma also applies to new AI modular infrastructure like 0G. Even if wrapped in a custom public chain shell, the underlying layer still faces dual pressure: "on-chain native applications can't support computing power consumption, and off-chain institutions lack adoption willingness." Without establishing a cash flow loop, relying solely on high valuation and low circulation, the medium to long term will most likely follow the path of the former.
Extreme weekly volume contraction is not a bottoming signal but a liquidity vacuum after market makers exit. Does anyone still hold such long-term declining old infrastructure in their positions? Microsoft's Azure revenue growth of 48% this time indeed casts a significant vote for AI demand. But I am more concerned about another disclosure: commercial remaining performance obligations reached $677 billion, a year-on-year increase of 73%.
This figure can be understood as commercial contract commitments that have been signed but not yet fully recognized as revenue. It covers Microsoft's commercial business and cannot all be counted as Azure orders, nor can it be considered cash already received.
Even so, this scale still makes me more confident about subsequent demand. Customers willing to sign contracts is at least a step beyond simply expressing purchase intentions.
The next test is how contracts turn into actual services and revenue. Delivery arrangements, contract terms, and the pace of customer usage will all affect the speed of fulfillment. The total order amount is growing rapidly, but if the fulfillment time is also significantly extended, short-term performance may not increase proportionally.
I am optimistic about Microsoft, but this optimism needs continued support from operating results. Azure has already delivered high-speed growth, and if it can smoothly convert large-scale contracts into revenue going forward, this round of investment will be even more convincing.
In the past, the market often asked "Is there really demand for AI?" Now customer commitments are getting bigger and bigger. Next, we should ask more about delivery and payment collection. For shareholders, signing contracts is worth celebrating, but stable fulfillment is what truly reassures.
#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 China's daily average token calls exceed 500 trillion, commonly interpreted as AI applications about to take off comprehensively. On the contrary, I think the threshold for enterprises to choose suppliers might be higher.
Looking at it from another angle: first, call volume does not represent exclusive capability; second, if intelligent agents deeply integrate into business processes, then issues of authority and error responsibility become unavoidable. My speculation is that the hype may not benefit all applications, but might instead accelerate the screening process. I will be watching closely to see who can clearly define responsibility boundaries, and I am not in a hurry to applaud the entire sector.The Federal Reserve kept interest rates at 3.75% to 4.00%, which met most people's expectations. But the most noteworthy aspect this time was the dissenting votes from Cook and Harker: they wanted a 25 basis point rate hike.
These two votes indicate that some members within the committee still believe the current policy stance is not strong enough. For markets hoping for a looser funding environment, this divergence is probably uncomfortable.
The statement also described economic activity as robustly expanding, with inflation still elevated. At least based on these expressions, the Federal Reserve is not yet at a stage where it can confidently discuss rate cuts.
However, the two dissenting votes do not directly imply a "definite rate hike in December." Upcoming data releases will influence whether other members change their views. Writing today's divergence prematurely as the outcome of the next meeting is also prone to misjudgment.
My impression of this decision is that the clearest result has already been established, but the subsequent uncertainty has not diminished much.
BTC traders no longer have to guess about moves in October, but will soon face pricing for December. In such an environment, a rebound does not necessarily mean macro pressure has eased, nor does a decline mean the story is over. Rather than rushing to take sides, I am more concerned about whether subsequent data will expand the rate hike camp. That will affect how much risk the market is willing to take on next.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Today's storage news is almost scary good: Goldman Sachs predicts DRAM prices will rise until 2028, next year HBM market revenue will more than double; Samsung says 2027's HBM is already sold out and plans to invest heavily in expanding production; rumors say Hynix will buy back nearly 30% of its shares in two years. All good news, not a single negative to be found.
But it's precisely at times like this that I sleep more soundly holding these short positions in storage.
Anyone who plays cards knows this truth: when everyone at the table is betting on one side and the news is so clean that no counterpoint can be found, that's usually not the safest moment, but the most crowded one. When positions are crowded on one side, once someone runs first, the stampede is faster than anyone else.
What I’m betting on is never whether tonight’s numbers are good or not, but to what extent this “good” has already been priced in. With the position hanging here, I accept the floating loss—I haven’t changed direction, but when it’s this crowded, you have to start loosening your grip.INIT Don't chase shorts, say something practical.
It just pulled up 14 points directly, the short-term rebound momentum is strong, if you rush in to open a short now, a single wick can blow you out.
In 24 hours, the whole network liquidated $1.25 million, shorts accounted for over $740,000, even more than longs — this wave has already trapped a bunch of retail short-sellers, going in now is just giving your head away.
Open interest has been rising steadily, it's an increase in positions with a rising price, bulls are genuinely entering with real money to take the goods, there is support below, the downside space is not as big as you think, it's easy to get shorted halfway down the mountain.
The long-short structure also tells a lot: the whole network's bulls slightly dominate, more obvious on Binance — retail accounts cluster in shorts, but large holders still have heavier long positions. The chips are concentrated in the bulls' hands, if it really rallies, shorts simply can't hold on.
The funding rate just turned negative, all dumped by retail rushing to short. Every time retail rushes to short in a swarm, it's basically a signal that they're about to be harvested.
At this position, the risk-reward ratio for chasing shorts is extremely low, don't just look at the previous drop and think you can short all the way down, be careful of getting trapped by a reversal.Google Cloud revenue doubled, but the stock price was hammered—what exactly is the market worried about?
Last night’s Google earnings report probably surprised many AI bulls.
Q3 revenue was $127.6 billion, up 25% year-over-year. Google Cloud revenue was $30.7 billion, soaring 103% year-over-year.
With such a large scale, the cloud business doubling in a year is indeed impressive.
But on the other hand, Google’s GAAP EPS was only $2.12. OKX predicted the market had a question before: could Google exceed $3.10 this quarter? Now the earnings report has answered that.
However, this EPS shouldn’t be viewed in isolation. Google had about $8.7 billion in equity investment losses this quarter, which dragged EPS down by about $0.55.
I’m actually more concerned about how fast it’s spending money.
Google’s capital expenditures reached $51.4 billion this quarter, and free cash flow was negative $9.07 billion, marking two consecutive quarters of negative free cash flow.
The rapid growth in cloud business shows AI demand is indeed strong. But if capital expenditures continue to rise in the coming quarters and cash flow doesn’t improve, the market will likely find it hard to keep valuing it highly.
I’m not bearish on Google just based on one earnings report, after all, both search and cloud businesses are still growing.
But if it were you, would you value Google Cloud’s doubling revenue more, or two consecutive quarters of negative free cash flow?
This is just a personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice.#MicrosoftQ1AzureSurges Holding contracts worth hundreds of billions, but the data center doesn't even have power?

HowevAn address that had been dormant for a full three years suddenly woke up early this morning, and it woke up very thoroughly.
9.57 million WLD were transferred out all at once within 4 hours, leaving the original address with zero balance. About 6.5 million were first sent to an intermediary address, then split and processed, eventually marked as deposits into multiple exchanges, with an estimated value of only $2.828 million at the current price. The remaining approximately 3.07 million were not identified as exchange deposits and may still be held in new addresses; their exact whereabouts have not been disclosed.
Going back three years, when these tokens entered the address, their book value was about $14.45 million. The same batch of WLD, from the time of deposit to now, with part pushed to exchanges, has depreciated about 71.2% in book value, a result of multiple fluctuations over three years rather than a single-week market crash.
But timing is critical. WLD has dropped about 26.41% in the past week and remains weak in the short term. An address that had almost no activity of this scale for three years chose precisely this moment to liquidate, sending more than 60% directly to exchanges. This stark contrast from long-term silence to concentrated unloading is hard for the market not to associate with potential selling pressure.
It should be clarified that there is currently no confirmed actual sell record, and the team has not provided any explanation. What can truly change expectations will be the on-chain activity in the coming days.
Whether this $WLD move is portfolio adjustment or a loss of confidence, the answer will be written in the transactions.$BZ #霍尔木兹重开方案浮现，油价回落能否持续？
Stalemate amid talks and clashes! The US-Iran game cools down, oil prices give back risk premiums—is this a peak or a consolidation?
The 1-hour chart shows Brent crude currently at $110.30, retreating and fluctuating from the phase high of $114.36. Short-term moving averages are flat and converging, MACD near the zero line, indicating a temporary balance between bulls and bears. Short-term resistance is at $111.70, strong support at $110.20, with the high-level range consolidation pattern intact.
News is pulling in two directions:
✅ Clear cooling signals: Iran advances a "7-day ceasefire plan," Trump confirms no military action against Iran before midterm elections, market quickly gives back short-term conflict pricing, Brent falls rapidly from the $116 level.
⚠️ Risks remain: US continues to deploy carrier strike groups to the Middle East, large-scale strike plans are ready and likely to be launched after the elections; Houthi forces keep attacking Saudi energy facilities, underlying geopolitical support remains strong.
Physical market also shows divergence, Iraqi crude is discounted over $25 against the Dubai benchmark, sellers cut prices to compete for Asian buyers, widening discounts reflect pressure on the physical side. Additionally, on-chain derivatives show anomalies, with Hyperliquid platform's over $170 million crude orders suspected as fake listings, adding uncertainty to trading.
Overall, the current pullback is a risk premium retreat, not a substantial improvement in supply. Short-term is likely to remain range-bound between $110 and $117, with the real directional choice waiting on the outcome of the US midterm elections.Samsung's revenue and operating profit show strong performance: Revenue of 195.3 trillion KRW, operating profit as high as 107.4 trillion KRW. This indicates that Samsung's main business (especially selling chips) is extremely profitable. 1. Net profit below expectations: Net profit of 75.2 trillion KRW, far below the market expectation of 83.6 trillion KRW. This may be the direct reason for the stock price's short-term plunge after the earnings report was released. (Note: Operating profit is much higher than net profit, usually indicating high taxes, financial expenses, or non-operating expenses.) 2. Extremely unbalanced business structure: "Success and failure both lie in semiconductors" • Semiconductors are an absolute cash machine: The chip division's operating profit is 106.5 trillion KRW, almost equal to the company's total operating profit (107.4 trillion KRW). This means other divisions basically made little money combined. • Display business is mediocre: Profit of 1.1 trillion KRW, considered a stable cash cow. • Mobile division (phones, etc.) seriously drags behind: Recorded an operating loss of 600 billion KRW. This may mean Samsung is facing an extremely fierce price war or weak demand in the smartphone or consumer electronics field (possibly also impacted by AI phones, considering the 2026 context). 3. Semiconductor industry cycle: in a super uptrend • Foundry revenue surges: The fourth quarter is expected to achieve double-digit growth in this business. This shows Samsung has made significant progress in the foundry field (competing for TSMC's business). • Memory chip supply is tight: Management is extremely optimistic, not only expecting Q4 memoryTo be honest, I used to think that people who dared to open large positions always had better judgment than me. It wasn’t until I learned the hard way that relying on others’ positions as confidence makes it easy to forget how much you can actually lose.
This time, I saw Core Trader 14 open a long $SOL position with 9x leverage, with a nominal position size of about $221,500. I’m more concerned about how he plans to admit mistakes rather than how confident this trade looks. Position size doesn’t equal position ratio; without knowing the account’s capital, you can’t judge how aggressive he really is.
Roughly calculating based on initial margin, if the price moves 1% against him, the margin loss would be about 9%, not including fees; leverage amplifies the cost of hesitation. I now follow two rules: first, decide the maximum loss per trade, then work backward to determine position size; second, set the stop-loss level before opening the position and don’t move it just because you’re reluctant to take the loss. The outcome of this trade is still unknown, but I’m making sure to leave myself enough room to retreat first.Whales just scooped up 600 million DOGE, but the FOMC didn't deliver any sweeteners: With this small unrealized loss, should they add to their positions?
My judgment is that this batch of "smart money" is neither breaking even nor deeply underwater right now. Based on assumed costs, the unrealized loss is about 2%. For DOGE, a token with sentiment swings even longer than a dog leash, this can only be considered as just entering the exam room, far from the point where whales need to collectively rescue themselves.
Let's calculate a "whale cost account." If these 600 million DOGE were mainly bought between $0.081 and $0.082, and after the FOMC the price returned to $0.080, the unrealized loss would be between 1% and 2.5%, with a midpoint close to 2%. In terms of money, the paper loss might be between $600,000 and $1.2 million. Sounds painful, but the total value of these chips is close to $50 million, and the unrealized loss ratio is not enough to prove that the big players bought wrong, nor can it directly infer that they will cut losses immediately.
The FOMC kept interest rates unchanged, and the problem is that the market didn't receive new "liquidity candy." Without a rate cut, short-term funds lose a reason to chase risky assets higher, so $DOGE naturally tends to hover near the cost line first. But whales have been continuously buying since October 12, which may not be a bet specifically on this meeting, but rather a pre-arranged layout for the expected future easing. Therefore, the meeting didn't deliver good news, but that doesn't mean their script is invalid, it just means the short-term didn't hit the fast-forward button.#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期
Google crashed 10% after hours, is the AI business getting harder to sustain?
Just finished watching the market, and Google's earnings report made me shake my head. The performance missed expectations solidly. Revenue was 127.5 billion, missing by a few billion, and EPS was even more ridiculous, 2.12 versus the expected 3, nearly a dollar short. After hours, the stock plunged over 10%, wiping out more than half a year's gains in one go.
I listened to the earnings call; the only highlight was cloud. Revenue surged 103% to 30.7 billion, profit margin jumped from 23% to 36%, and TPU sales contributed a lot. Gemini users surpassed 1 billion, which sounds impressive. But the focus was all on the negatives: search ads underperformed expectations, free cash flow was negative for two consecutive quarters, this quarter directly negative 9 billion, while the market expected only negative 3.5 billion. Capital expenditure was 51.3 billion, lower than expected, but the full-year guidance was not lowered, and a "significant increase" is planned for 2027. The CFO's words were painful to hear.
As for whether funds will return to AI trading? Look, the Nasdaq still rose 0.55% that day, but Google itself crashed. It's not that money is leaving AI, it's becoming more selective. Just telling stories isn't enough; cash flow has to speak. This wave for Google is the growing pains of AI investment, but market patience is clearly thinning.Opening the spot grid, you see “Grid Profit +30U” and feel a bit happy, but next to it, it says “Total Return -70U.” How can these two numbers appear at the same time?
Because they are not accounting for the same thing.
You can think of the grid as a small shop that buys and sells according to rules. After completing several rounds of buying and selling, it indeed earns the price difference; but the inventory in the shop that hasn’t been sold yet will also fluctuate with market prices.
Here’s a simplified example: completed grid trades, after deducting related transaction fees, earned 30U; the remaining holdings have a floating loss of 100U due to a price drop. Without other fees or income, the total result is negative 70U.
So, “the bot is continuously executing trades” and “the account is overall profitable” are not the same thing. The grid can follow the rules, but it can’t stop the coins held from depreciating.
When evaluating performance, put grid profit, holding gains and losses, and total returns together, and confirm the calculation criteria of each platform metric.

When it rose to 2807, I said
The first wave of the rise starting from 1505 was nearing its end
If it can't break through 2810-2820
The rise will be over
Subsequently, ETH repeatedly failed upward tests
Then started to decline

Target: Expect continued bullish continuation towards local highs.
Strategy: Cash reserves give flexibility to buy dips if market retests support My friend Da Liu always prides himself on being a “die-hard bull,” often laughing at those of us who set stop losses in the group chat: “What’s there to fear when it drops? Just buy more to lower your average cost; as long as it rebounds once, you’ll break even!”
Last month, a certain altcoin he heavily invested in kept falling steadily. Starting from a 10% unrealized loss, he was convinced it was just a shakeout and put in his salary; when it dropped 30%, he redeemed his financial products to add more; at 50% down, he even secretly took out an online loan.
The night before yesterday, the market suddenly crashed again without warning. I received his voice message, his voice trembling: “Bro, I have no money left to add, I’m about to be liquidated.”
I ruthlessly exposed the truth: “Bro, this isn’t dollar-cost averaging to catch the bottom, this is the Martingale strategy! Every time you add on a floating loss, you’re amplifying the risk. As soon as you hit a one-way drop that doesn’t bounce back, all your bullets will be spent.”
He didn’t get to see a miracle. At dawn, that big bearish candle directly broke through his last line of defense for adding positions. He was liquidated.
Yesterday, he posted an empty account screenshot in the group and left this final message before quitting: “I always thought I could hold on, but adding on floating losses is the Martingale strategy. It tricks you into thinking you can break even if you survive this wave, but at your heaviest position, it takes away all your cards.”
Seeing the notification that he left the group chat, I felt uneasy. The scariest thing in this market isn’t being on the wrong side, but fooling yourself with the excuse of “adding to lower cost” and walking down a Martingale path with no way back. Surviving is always more important than breaking even. #Coinbase整合Deribit，Q3收入能否改善？
The boss has something to say
Coinbase will release its Q3 earnings after the US stock market closes tonight. Q2 revenue has already dropped about 18% year-over-year, and now the market is watching whether the Deribit integration can bring new growth and whether USDC-related business can break through.
I believe this earnings report will most likely still be under pressure. The entire crypto market is currently in a low volatility, low volume phase, and trading volume fundamentally cannot rise. COIN fell 2.10% in pre-market trading today, with funds already moving to hedge in advance. A comment in the discussion section hit the mark: Circle only retains 7 cents of revenue per 1 US dollar of USDC, and Coinbase takes the largest share, relying on thin margins dependent on compliance barriers and settlement volume. This indicates that its profit model is extremely dependent on settlement scale; without market volume, revenue will be hard to look good.
For crypto, Coinbase is a barometer for US institutional investors. If the earnings confirm weak trading volume, it means there is indeed insufficient buy-side demand on the exchange, and BTC lacks capital support.
The Federal Reserve held steady early this morning, but there were two internal votes for a rate hike, and BTC fell 1.62% under pressure. Now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper pullback, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase gains or panic sell; set your stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC A must-read for CORE holders: After TVL crashes 80%, is it a golden opportunity or a value trap?
Many people split into two camps when they see TVL plummet by 80%: one believes the worst is over and this is a rare golden opportunity; the other thinks the ecosystem is collapsing and it’s a huge value trap. The key to judgment remains distinguishing the two completely independent asset structures of CORE. ✅ The TVL that crashed sharply is the native DeFi capital on the Core chain.
The liquidity funds in on-chain DEXs and lending protocols have shrunk significantly, representing a large-scale flight of DeFi traders and speculative funds, causing on-chain fee income to dry up. The foundation’s envisioned fee buyback flywheel cannot run for now. However, BTC locked in the Bitcoin mainnet CLTV time-lock staking has not collapsed simultaneously. This portion of BTC assets remains on the Bitcoin chain to participate in Satoshi Plus consensus and earn CORE rewards, independently supporting the BTCFi narrative. ✅ To become a golden opportunity, three major conditions must be met: independent validators stop withdrawing, 69 million ghost chips no longer concentrate on dumping, and on-chain DeFi activity gradually recovers. The resonance of these three indicates market panic has cleared and fundamentals are reversing. ❌ If these three points fail to materialize for a long time, the current position is a value trap.
Relying solely on a small amount of BTC staking to support the narrative, with on-chain DeFi continuously in shock and competitors like Babylon constantly capturing BTC staking market share, even if the coin price experiences a short-term rebound, it will be difficult to enter a large-scale bull market, continuously testing holders’ patience. Seeing buybacks exceed emissions, I would also be greedy. Pendle cites the Q3 report: yield per dollar TVL increased by about 76% year-on-year, and the buyback volume reached 3.2 times the emission volume.
I think this is a positive sign of operational efficiency: incentives cut by over 50%, yet TVL still grew by 43%. The project team emphasizes buybacks, possibly to convey confidence; onlookers, however, tend to mistake it as a price increase guarantee.
I have to guard against my own confirmation bias and not just pick the numbers that sound good 🫠 When you see 3.2 times, is your first reaction excitement or skepticism?The Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates, yet BTC fell below $80,000 again, ETH dropped to around $2,300, and SOL struggled repeatedly around the $100 whole number mark. The market was originally waiting for the Fed's policy decision, hoping for a rebound after the policy was implemented. But what is truly noteworthy is that although the FOMC kept rates unchanged this time, two members advocated for a 25 basis point hike. Meanwhile, the total stablecoin supply continues to shrink, Solana's weekly DEX trading volume dropped by over 22%, and institutional ETF funds have not signaled a full return. The interest rate not being raised does not mean the liquidity environment has turned loose. I believe what the market needs most now is not more positive news, but confirmation of whether funds are truly willing to take on risk again. 📉 Market: BTC falls below $80,000 again, SOL holds near $100 As of approximately 11:04 HKT on October 29, BTC was quoted at $79,878.14, down 1.20% in 24 hours; ETH at $2,304.41, down 2.30%; SOL at $100.01, down 1.50%. CoinGecko data shows the total crypto market cap is about $2.81 trillion, with BTC dominance around 56.97%. The three major mainstream coins fell simultaneously, with ETH experiencing a relatively larger decline. BTC falling below $80,000 again indicates that the previous short-term rebound did not immediately translate into sustained gains. SOL has returned once more to around $100. ThisThe meeting is over, no rate hike, just as everyone guessed. But there were two votes in favor of a hike, indicating the hawks haven't left, they're just temporarily held back.
This is not purely good news. On the surface, it looks like no action was taken, but internal divisions have been exposed. The expectation of a December rate hike still lingers, and US Treasury yields remain above 5%, so the risk assets still have that knife hanging over them.
Interestingly, the market rose first, and US stocks closed collectively higher after the meeting. This shows that the short-term negative factors have been exhausted, and everyone is taking a breather.
So $ETH will most likely use this momentum to push upward. I added to my short position to lower the average price, and after making some profit, I chose to close the position. But despite the surge, the key is whether it can hold its ground. If it breaks out with volume on the meeting's positive news, that would be a real shift to bullish, and I'll accept the loss and exit; if it spikes up then pulls back, that's a false breakout to lure bulls, and the bears still have a chance.
As for $BTC, I'm still watching whether it follows. If ETH rises alone and BTC stays still, it means the money is limited and can only push one up, which won't last long; if BTC also rises, then it's a full bullish reversal, and I won't hesitate with my short position.
The meeting only removed short-term uncertainty; the December threat still remains. I won't guess how it will close today, just watching if it's a real breakout or a fake move.

$ETH around 2,331. October ETF cumulative outflow 1.32 billion, just about 100 million shy of the worst historical record. On-chain cost at 2,310 overlaps with the 200-day EMA at 2,315, forming the narrowest and most critical support band. ETFs are withdrawing, order books are supporting.
$SOL around 102. Spot and staking ETFs have had two consecutive weeks of outflows in October, totaling about 50 million; down nearly 20% year-to-date, on-chain perpetual market share dropped from 17% to 6%. But Bloomberg reports it is shifting from Meme to stablecoins and tokenized assets, with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered, and Visa active on the network.
In short: BTC is supported by a narrow ETF channel, ETH is caught between record outflows and a key support band, SOL is balancing between a transformation narrative and ETF hemorrhaging.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 #三星Q3营业利润创新高，净利润不及预期 This quarter, Samsung's operating profit reached an impressive 107.4 trillion KRW, soaring 783% year-on-year, with revenue of 195.25 trillion KRW, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of record-breaking performance. It is also the world's first technology company to surpass 100 trillion KRW in operating profit in a single quarter. The core driver of this performance is the semiconductor business, with the AI wave driving explosive demand for HBM high-bandwidth memory, combined with rising prices of DRAM and NAND, making the storage business contribute the vast majority of profits.
However, the impressive operating profit did not translate into net profit exceeding expectations. The financial report shows a net profit of 75.21 trillion KRW, below market estimates, mainly due to high financial expenses dragging down pre-tax profit, along with income tax deductions, causing net profit margin to decline compared to the previous quarter. It is also evident that other company businesses are weak, with segments like mobile phones struggling to generate profit, making earnings highly dependent on the single storage chip sector.
The market is optimistic about the long-term prosperity of AI storage but is also beginning to be cautious about two major risks: first, the huge capital expenditure pressure brought by HBM capacity expansion; second, the performance being highly tied to AI manufacturers' capital expenditures. This financial report also reminds investors that although the AI storage super cycle continues, factors such as costs and taxes will directly affect the final realizable returns for companies. The last time Google experienced a nearly 10% single-day plunge was back on October 23, 2023.
At that time, $GOOG released its Q3 earnings report, and the market was worried whether Google would gradually fall behind Microsoft in AI and cloud computing competition.
On that day, Google's stock price plummeted about 9.5%, wiping out over $160 billion in market value in a single day, marking the largest single-day drop since the 2020 pandemic.
In 2023, the market was concerned that Google was falling behind in the AI race;
In 2026, the market started worrying that Google was spending too aggressively on AI.
In three years, the market's concerns about Google have almost completely reversed.
Can the values for contract/spot positions be different for $DOGE? It has gradually risen quite a bit, hasn't it? Looking at this xGOOGL chart, the stock recently hit a high near 364 in late September before sliding down to test a recent low around 289. This sharp drop looks very similar to past market pullbacks where big tech stocks face heavy profit-taking after steady climbs. Notice how moving averages like MA5 and MA10 are currently sitting above the price line, showing short-term selling pressure. However, heavy volume candles at the bottom suggest buyers are starting to step in near support. Historic #Coinbase整合Deribit，Q3收入能否改善？
Coinbase will release its Q3 2026 earnings report after the U.S. market closes today (October 29). The following forecast is based on the Q2 earnings baseline, Q3 industry trading data, and the latest sell-side estimates. It is a scenario simulation, not a confirmed fact.
---
Baseline judgment: Revenue continues to bottom out, losses likely to persist
The Q2 baseline was not good: total revenue was $1.22 billion, down about 18.5% year-over-year, marking the third consecutive quarter of quarter-over-quarter decline; net loss was $359.5 million, whereas the same period last year saw a net profit of $1.42 billion. Trading revenue was $599.2 million, and subscription and services revenue was $555.1 million.
The core contradiction in Q3 lies in the trading side. Although the total market capitalization of the crypto market rebounded about 39.6% in Q3, the spot trading volume on centralized exchanges declined about 14% quarter-over-quarter, and the average daily trading volume dropped 8.6% quarter-over-quarter. Market cap rising while trading volume shrinks means the "on-paper recovery" has not translated into fee income. Bernstein estimates Coinbase's Q3 spot trading volume to be about $150 billion, roughly flat with Q2, while the overall industry is shrinking, indicating Coinbase's market share may not be lost, but the absolute volume has no growth. 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. Looking at this kind of news, first calculate the risk and return, and don't treat the big holder's turnaround as a safety net. According to Ember monitoring, trader @Salem1299534 liquidated 20.06 million AI tokens 5 days ago, causing the price to drop by 15%; this time, they repurchased 7.445 million AI tokens, driving a 25% increase.
My judgment: This is somewhat positive for $AI's short-term sentiment, but it is not yet evidence of a trend reversal. The repurchased amount is less than half of what was sold previously, so it cannot be interpreted as a full bullish stance; a single trader's in-and-out moves cause significant volatility, which makes me more cautious about liquidity risk. The price increase has already happened, but that doesn't mean latecomers have the same odds.
In my speculation, if there is sustained follow-through and potential returns can cover drawdown risks, then it is worth studying; if it's just betting on him to keep buying, the expectation relies too much on one person's actions. When facing such a big holder's replenishment, do you value the win rate of following funds more, or the remaining odds after the price rise? The meeting is over, no rate hike, just as everyone guessed. But there were two votes in favor of a hike, indicating the hawks haven't left, they're just temporarily held back.
This is not purely good news. On the surface, it looks like no action was taken, but internal divisions have been exposed. The expectation of a rate hike in December still lingers, and US Treasury yields remain above 5%, so the risk asset's looming threat hasn't been removed.
Interestingly, the market rose first, and US stocks closed collectively higher after the meeting. This shows that short-term negative factors have been exhausted, and everyone is taking a breather.
So $ETH will likely use this momentum to push upward today. I added to my short position to lower the average price, and after making some profit, I chose to close it. But despite the surge, the key is whether it can hold its ground. If it breaks out with volume on the meeting's positive news, that would be a real shift to bullish, and I'll accept the loss and exit; if it spikes up then pulls back, that's a false breakout to lure bulls, and the bears still have a chance.
As for $BTC, I'm still watching if it will follow. If ETH rises alone and BTC stays still, it means the money is limited and can only push one up, which won't last long; if BTC also rises, then it's a full bullish reversal, and I have no choice but to close my short.
The meeting only removed short-term uncertainty; the December threat remains. I won't guess how it will close today, just watching if it's a real breakout or a fake move.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $PEPE When I see this message, what comes to mind is the "usage radius" of US dollar liquidity. Regarding stablecoins, I usually separate stock and turnover: money sitting in wallets and money being spent have different implications for liquidity.
According to this information, global stablecoin payment card spending is about $1.231 billion in September 2026, exceeding the entire 2024 annual amount in a single month, with a cumulative $3.394 billion in the third quarter. RedotPay accounted for about $403 million that month, with its share dropping from about 85% in the early stage to about 33%; transactions still heavily rely on traditional card networks, with Visa processing the vast majority of transactions.
My judgment is that this has greater significance for payment applications than for the direct impact on coin prices. Spending volume represents cash flow, not new funds; the same money circulating repeatedly can also contribute to scale. On the other hand, the decline in leading market share indicates that the growth beneficiaries are more dispersed, but this does not yet mean that industry profits are expanding in sync; reliance on card networks remains an unavoidable constraint.
According to my speculation, if subsequent consumption growth can continue and is not just an acceleration of existing funds turnover, then stablecoins are more likely to form sustained holding and settlement demand, broadening the reach of US dollar liquidity. I tend to see this as a positive signal on the application side but will watch whether net inflows and spending volume can grow together, rather than directly treating card transaction volume as incremental market ammunition.$MSFT Microsoft earnings exceeded expectations, this time indeed more convincing than Google.
Microsoft's Q1 revenue was $92.28 billion, up 19% year-over-year, with adjusted earnings per share of $4.89, both surpassing market expectations. The highlight was Azure, with revenue growing 48% year-over-year, and Microsoft's cloud revenue reaching $63.9 billion, up 30% year-over-year.
I believe the greatest value of this earnings report is proving that AI is not just burning money; cloud services and enterprise demand are generating real revenue. Microsoft's free cash flow reached $18.6 billion, also alleviating market concerns about the return on AI investments.
Of course, capital expenditures remain high, and it remains to be seen whether Azure can sustain growth and whether AI investments can continue to convert into profits. Overall, the quality of growth in this earnings report is good, and Microsoft's advantage in AI commercialization is further validated.
#微软Q1营收增长，Azure增速至48%超预期 Can CORE still be held now? Understand the TVL structure before deciding
Many people are misled by the hype of high TVL, but CORE's TVL consists of two separate asset sets. Only by understanding the structure can you judge whether to continue holding✅TVL is divided into two parts: 1. BTC locked by CLTV time lock staking on the Bitcoin mainnet: The BTC assets themselves are not cross-chained into Core chain contracts, but are locked on the Bitcoin chain to participate in the Satoshi Plus consensus and earn CORE rewards. This part of the asset is self-custodied and forms the facade of the BTCFi narrative. 2. Native DeFi TVL on the Core chain: funds in on-chain DEX and lending protocols. This part is the real asset that can generate fees and support the token buyback flywheel. Currently, this part of the funds has significantly shrunk, daily activity is sluggish, DEX trading volume is extremely low, and the ecosystem's self-sustaining ability is seriously insufficient✅Holding judgment logic:
If you are a position playing the sector: you can continue to hold but should not increase your position. You need to continuously monitor three major verification signals: whether the number of independent validators has stopped falling and is rising, whether on-chain DeFi activity has recovered, and whether the 69 million ghost chips have been concentratedly transferred out to dump. Once negative signals appear, prioritize reducing your position and exiting❌If you are heavily invested for the long term, expecting multiples of growth: the current TVL structure is a huge hidden risk. Relying solely on BTC time lock staking to support the narrative, on-chain DeFi cannot generate income, and the foundation's planned fee buyback flywheel is difficult to operate; compounded by competitive pressure from Babylon and other competitors in the same sectorSeeing news about several risk nodes clustering together, my first reaction is: avoiding high leverage indeed reduces a lot of worries. I'm a slow investor holding spot assets, not keen on using long-term positions to guess the direction over a few days.
According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin hovered around $80,000 this week, with about $1.1 billion in options expiring on October 30, coinciding with the upcoming U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Among the expiring contracts, there are more call options, with strike prices concentrated at $90,000, $95,000, and $100,000, which will most likely expire worthless in the short term.
My judgment is that this is very important for short-term risk management but more like noise for $BTC's long-term value. Option expirations may change short-term trading and hedging demands, but a large expiration amount does not mean an equivalent scale of funds must buy or sell; having more call contracts does not directly translate to a price increase.
Regarding the elections, I separate emotions from actual changes. If subsequent policies truly change industry participation thresholds or capital entry conditions, that would be the long-term signal I care more about. This is my observation framework, not implying these changes have already occurred.
Anyway, I hold steady and continue to watch for real changes. Spot assets also carry pullback risks, but leverage adds an extra layer of forced exit pressure. Don't confuse the ability to withstand volatility with the ability to withstand liquidation.I saw "more call options," and the first image that popped into my mind was a table of people raising their hands to order lobster, but the waiter asked: "Everyone, is your budget enough?" 😂 Wish statistics really can't be taken as payment records.
According to Bloomberg, Bitcoin hovered around $80,000 this week, with about $11 billion in options expiring on October 30, coinciding with the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. My judgment is: this looks more like a volatility alert, not a bullish signal just because there are more call options. The number of calls does not equal net bullish capital; strike prices at $90k, $95k, and $100k are far from the current price, and the report also suggests these contracts will likely expire worthless in the short term. If election news changes expectations, then hedging adjustments near expiration could amplify price swings—this is my speculation.
I will pay more attention to how the price reacts after the news comes out, rather than guessing direction based on option volume. Do you stand by "call volume has reference value," or "first look at how far the strike price is from the current price"? So, is this lobster order really an order or just a wish list?I don't really like calling memes lottery tickets. Lottery tickets are bought and then you wait for the draw, but memes can be bought and sold anytime, which easily gives me the illusion that "you can still fix things by trading." When it drops, you want to buy more; when it rises, you can't bear to sell; even exiting can drag on like a soap opera.
Also, lottery winnings have redemption rules, but meme profits on paper depend on whether you can actually sell them. When I see those lively dog coin groups, a buzzkill question always pops into my head: when everyone really wants to leave, is there enough money in the pool for whoever leaves first?Italian major banks slash IBIT common stock by 94%, shifting to staking ETH. However, the market still broadly declines after the portfolio adjustment; institutions are calculating returns, while the market is factoring in macro conditions.
$BTC is at 79,897.2. They cut spot longs and increase bearish options, showing a clear defensive stance. Although ETF inflows can provide support, they struggle against macro sell pressure ahead of the FOMC.
$ETH is at 2,308.1. Institutions increase ETH staking, valuing its attached yield and cost-effectiveness. But the price has not strengthened due to structural preference, showing divergence between short- and long-term pricing.
$SOL is at 99.79. Institutions have almost fully exited SOL staking ETFs, with the price falling below $100. After losing this key support, there is a lack of structural buying in the short term.
Summary
Institutions buy "yield" in ETH, "hedge" in BTC, and exit directly from SOL—this is a calculated portfolio adjustment. But before macro decisions are finalized, portfolio shifts are slow variables, while defense is the fast variable.
#意大利大行减IBIT普通股94%，加仓质押ETH Remember today's lesson: No rate hike ≠ positive for the crypto space
The Federal Reserve decision landed early this morning, keeping rates unchanged, but the entire tone was hawkish with no sign of easing at all!
The vote was 10:2
Two members strongly demanded a 25BP rate hike
The statement repeatedly emphasized: strong economy, stubbornly high inflation
The market clearly read the bottom line:
The December rate hike expectation shot up to 86%!
Don't be fooled by the small rise in US stocks or the short-term dip in the dollar
The 10-year US Treasury yield firmly stands at 5.05%
Crude oil is approaching 99.90, energy inflation pressure has not eased at all
The high interest rate environment is far from over, liquidity has not improved!
So BTC's movement fully reflects the truth:
Rallied to 81674 as a bull trap, then quickly dropped back to the 80446 range 📉
To put it plainly:
81600–82000 is strong resistance, without volume to hold above it, it's a false breakout
Currently, it can only be considered a rebound, not a reversal!
ETH is weaker than BTC, the support is completely insufficient
Weak rebound, deeper decline, if 2300 breaks, it will continue to test the bottom
To sum up the most critical point:
This pause in rate hikes was already priced in by the market, no unexpected positive surprise
The real test is in December!
At this stage, I only watch the rebound, never chase the rally
The market looks lively but risks are hidden
Is this rally and fall a shakeout or the start of a new downtrend?
$BTC $ETH【19 major holders bought $20.56 million to bottom-fish Google — catching a falling knife or getting a bargain?】
After Google's $GOOGL earnings report, the stock price dropped more than 10% in after-hours trading, yet on Hyperliquid, 19 accounts added about $20.56 million in long positions, somewhat counter-trend buying the dip. But this decline is not just pure panic: Alphabet's Q3 revenue was $127.6 billion, below expectations, net profit fell about 25% year-over-year, and free cash flow turned negative to minus $9.1 billion. Even a 103% surge in cloud business revenue couldn't save the day; the market is starting to worry about when the heavy AI investments will pay off.
These 19 accounts added about $20.56 million in longs, but the open interest increased by about $43.09 million, indicating new money is entering the game, though this can't yet be taken as ironclad proof that these 19 major holders are collectively bullish. More strikingly, 15 of these accounts with new longs are already showing unrealized losses; another whale who previously held a heavy long position in Google has been liquidated for about $10 million.
A short-term rebound is certainly possible, as short-covering after a sharp drop can bring recovery, but the bottom-fishing funds have yet to prove they can absorb the selling pressure. Whether the price can stabilize around $292 and whether the rebound can reclaim $300 are more important to watch than how many major holders enter. If the decline continues with volume, the bottom-fishing list may well become the next batch of liquidations.
#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 🔥 Don't just focus on the gains in the early session; what really matters is the short liquidations! 💥 Across the entire network, $132 million liquidated in 24 hours, with shorts accounting for 71.31%. BTC, ETH, and SOL shorts have all been clearly squeezed.
📈 BTC reached 81465, ETH at 2369, SOL at 102.5. Although there was a collective rebound, the gains were not extreme. My understanding is: shorts are retreating, but whether the bulls will take over still needs to be verified by volume and price structure.
🎯 If BTC can effectively break through 82000, the short squeeze rally will have more confirmation; ETH needs to be watched to see if it can break through around 2400; SOL must hold the key psychological level of 100.
⚠️ If the breakout fails, a pullback after the rebound cannot be ruled out. Don't rush to go long just because shorts are liquidated, and definitely don't bet your entire position on direction. Will you wait for breakout confirmation, or wait for a pullback to stabilize before entering? #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 BTC staking of 1,453 coins supports the scene, but DeFi daily active users are less than triple digits: CORE's tale of two extremes
A set of fragmented data reveals the most authentic current state of the CORE ecosystem: relying on the time-locked staking of 1,453 BTC to uphold the BTCFi narrative facade, but the daily active DeFi users on the Core chain are less than triple digits. The consensus layer and application layer are completely disconnected, forming an extreme tale of two extremes ✅ Why BTC staking continues:
The staked BTC is locked on the Bitcoin mainnet through CLTV time locks, and the assets remain custodially held by users. It only contributes BTC weight to the Satoshi Plus consensus to earn CORE token rewards. The BTC assets themselves have not migrated into Core chain DeFi contracts. Many users participating in staking only want token rewards and do not engage in DEX, lending, or other DeFi operations on the Core chain ❌ The harsh reality: on-chain DeFi is nearly in shock
DeFi daily active users are less than triple digits, and DEX trading volume is extremely sluggish, indicating that retail and DeFi speculative funds have largely withdrawn from the ecosystem. Without active users trading or lending, on-chain fee income is almost exhausted. The foundation's envisioned value flywheel of fee buybacks for CORE cannot operate, exposing the core contradiction that BTC staking only provides weight support for network consensus and does not equal ecological prosperity. Even if BTC staking data looks acceptable, it cannot cover up the reality of bleeding on-chain applications; combined with the continuous withdrawal of independent validators and 69 million ghost chips looming over twoAs of now, the October 2026 Bitcoin return rate is -4.2%, significantly below the average +18.1% for October since 2020. Bitcoin closed September at $83,567 and dropped to $80,051 on October 25, 2026, potentially marking the second consecutive negative return October. Reports show Bitcoin spot demand has been negative daily since October 14, with a cumulative apparent demand of -76,000 BTC as of October 25 over 30 days; U.S. investor buying interest remains weak, with the daily Coinbase premium dropping to -0.146 on October 24, the lowest since June 30, and an October average of -0.093, three times that of September. Trader profit margins have fallen from 33% to 8%, with most of the buffer provided during September's decline now exhausted. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC $PENDLE
There is a number that really stands out. The amount of tokens PENDLE repurchased in Q3 is 3.2 times the emissions during the same period; the project team is buying with real money.
There is another figure in the report: the yield generated per USD TVL increased by 76% year-over-year, indicating that the money entering the protocol is actually working, not just artificially inflated. Two years ago, I could have read this kind of financial report over and over three times.
Then look at the price. Tested on OKX: PENDLE is now 1.898, down 5% in 24 hours, ranging from 1.89 to 2.04, with a neutral fee rate of 0.05%. The positive fundamentals are on paper, but the price moves in the opposite direction.
The repurchase money is real, but given the scale and the unfavorable overall environment, it's basically a wait-and-see on the fundamentals. I bought a bunch of "buyback deflation" tokens in the early days, and in the end, the only thing deflated was my account. Now when I see this kind of data, I first check whether the price is rising or falling before deciding how much to trust it.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $DOOD DOOD This dealer is so blatant they don't even bother to pretend.
Over 10 million dollars net inflow in 30-day contracts, equivalent to forcibly buying 46% of the total market cap. On the surface, the market looks calm, but underwater, they're quietly scooping up.
Controlling the market with this density, the resistance above is basically cleared. Anyone still stubbornly shorting at the top is just leaving fuel for the main force to squeeze shorts.
Just waiting for the dealer to be in a good mood and hit the gas to explode the price.
#DOOD
$DOOD
👇An 86% close ratio makes me pause more than how much profit was made: this is not a full liquidation, nor just a casual partial reduction, but a withdrawal of most of the exposure. In the monitoring, Core Trader 67 partially closed a 12x leveraged $BTC short position, realizing a profit of about $226,100.
If I were to write this as a strategy, I would first set a rule: "If a single close exceeds 80% of the original position, mark it as a significant risk exit and do not treat the remaining position directly as a directional signal." This is a classification rule I added to the monitoring data, not a guess of the trader's intent. By proportion, the remaining position is about 14% of the original, and its sensitivity to subsequent price changes is already different from before the reduction.
I think the advantage of this rule is to avoid being misled by "he still holds a short position." Keeping a position does indeed preserve the possibility of continued profit, but most of the profit has already been taken, so that small remaining part cannot represent the attitude of the entire trade. After learning quantitative methods, I always want to first distinguish scale before interpreting direction 🤖
The flaw is also obvious: 80% is a tentative threshold I set, and the material does not provide his complete plan. If he adds to the position later, then this reduction might just be a phase adjustment. I will continue to observe position changes and remind myself not to forcibly translate a single exit action into a market prophecy.ETF funds are flowing back, but BTC has fallen below 80,000 — the buying hasn't disappeared, it's just a different group of people.
$BTC: $79,959. Spot ETF net inflow for the day is $176 million, with IBIT alone accounting for $151 million, but the cumulative net outflow in October is still about $202 million. More importantly, the structure: Galaxy Research points out that hedge funds have cut about 68,000 BTC worth of ETF exposure, becoming the main force behind institutional outflows this round. ETFs are buying, leveraged funds are selling; the long-short divergence at the 80,000 level is not about direction, but about the identity of the holders.
$ETH: $2,309. Ethereum ETFs have seen net outflows for the fourth consecutive week, with a cumulative outflow of $1.22 billion since September 28. BlackRock's ETHA led with a single-day outflow of $104.7 million. $2,300 is the psychological bottom line; if broken, the next support is at $2,200.
$SOL: $99.86, breaking below the 100 mark. SOL ETFs have had net outflows of about $50 million for two consecutive weeks in October, and the on-chain perpetual contract trading volume ratio has dropped from 17% to 6%. Meme fade, transformation pains combined with ETF bleeding, $100 has turned from support into resistance.
Summary: The FOMC holding steady has already been priced in; the hidden line is that two members advocate for a rate hike. ETFs act as shock absorbers, not engines; hedge funds are reducing positions, retail investors are taking over. This structure cannot sustain the trend, it can only hold the bottom.
#现货ETF资金分化，BTC卖压仍在 The real culprit, the morning report just said $BTC's long position at 79919 is dangerous, and it exploded as soon as it turned around.
I still hold the same view as yesterday: simply not raising interest rates can only bring a small rise because the market won't pay for what has already happened. It only pays for what is about to happen, so the main focus last night should have been on the Fed's speech tone.
This recent drop was obviously to trigger the shorts at 79919, and after triggering, it bounced back.
Actually, BTC's trading volume also gave a signal: yesterday the volume rose 50% to $391 million, but the price only rose 0.44%. Volume up but price lagging indicates it's not new money entering but rather a turnover.
$ETH is even worse, having fallen below MA7 (2345), moving further away from MA20 (2417), MA30 (2490), and MA60 (2521), but getting closer to the 30-day floor price of 2282.
$ZEC is much better, holding above MA7 (1245) and MA20 (1215), RSI at 54 is neutral and not overbought, right at the middle 50% position of the 30-day range (1048-1546). It is one of the few major coins with an intact daily structure now, with support at 1263 below.
