Seagate's next quarter guidance directly points to over $9 per share, but after hours it dropped more than 5%, $STX I see the chips are running here.
The earnings report released around 4 a.m. Beijing time this morning showed adjusted EPS of $7.68, market expectation was $7.39, revenue about $4.2 billion.
Next quarter revenue guidance is $4.7–4.9 billion, EPS $9.00–9.40, both higher than expectations (about $4.56 billion, $8.61).
On Tuesday regular trading, it first rose 3.67% to close at 667.85, then after hours dropped to about 631, a difference of nearly $37 in and out.
Honestly, the numbers are flawless, the AI data center needing large capacity hard drives line is still there.
The problem is it has already retraced more than 40% from the yearly high of about 1145, and recently Wells Fargo cut the target price from 1180 to 865, the market was already divided, a good earnings report just gives people an exit point.
Tonight at 21:30 market open, I'll first see if it can hold around 650, which is roughly Tuesday's low.
If it opens below 630 and can't recover, this move is more than just taking profits on good news.
If you want to get in, wait until the first hour is over, this kind of gap down is less risky if you are a bit late.
Do you think this is selling on good earnings news, or is the storage cycle nearing its end?

#SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 The rating covers native RLUSD on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, a detail that gives me a bit of a familiar feeling from the previous round: it's still the same asset extending across multiple chains, but this time what's on display isn't on-chain popularity, but credit issues.
Moody’s assigned an A2 and P-1 deposit rating, weighing the reserve backing against the risk exposure to holders in the event of issuer bankruptcy. I think this is more important than "just another institution's endorsement." Previously, when looking at cross-chain layouts, I tended to first look at coverage; this time it's different. No matter how widely the asset is distributed, the underlying credit of the issuer cannot be bypassed, and more chains do not equal risk diversification.
My judgment is that this is more like a signal that the industry is shifting from an expansion narrative to credit pricing, rather than proof of scale. What I want to see next is whether this set of traditional financial evaluation language can truly enter the asset choices of on-chain users, rather than just staying in news headlines.There has never been a note on the blueprint saying "just casually add some Bitcoin." When VanEck writes a 2% BTC allocation into WBMO's load-bearing system, with an adjustable range of 1% to 5%, this is not decorative lines—this is formally incorporating a highly volatile material into the structural calculation manual. Franklin's two products are even more aggressive: 95% US stocks as the main framework, 5% BTC as the core tube, and they continuously inject dividends as operating cash flow into the BTC layer. Do you understand? Traditional asset management is reclassifying Bitcoin from a "roof decoration component" to a "seismic energy dissipation node."
I've done structural design for twenty years, and the thing I fear most is the client saying "just put it in casually." Any material entering the load-bearing system must answer three questions: how is the node anchored, how is the load transferred, and how is long-term creep controlled. BTC is now facing the same set of review logic. 2% looks like a partition wall, but adjustable up to 5% means a reserved structural expansion joint—today it's a non-load-bearing partition, tomorrow it could become a shear wall. Reinvesting dividends to buy BTC is equivalent to pouring the building's operating income back into the foundation slab, a typical self-strengthening process; if the construction sequence is wrong, no one will cover the cracks in the post-pour joint.
What really made me spread out the blueprint was that term: standard practice. What does standardization mean in construction? It means it has entered the code, has acceptance standards, and the general contractor dares not change it casually. The linkage of US stock Token targets is essentially two units sharing the same pile foundation on the same master plan—if the bearing layers of BTC and Nasdaq differ in settlement, the upper structure will crack no matter how beautiful it is. The so-called multi-asset portfolio is not just dumping materials into a mixer; every beam's reinforcement must be recalculated. Franklin feeding BTC with dividends is very much like prestressing: it can suppress cracks in the short term, but once the anchor slips, the loss is instantaneous.
The adjustment knob from 1% to 5%, in my eyes, is the jack stroke in post-tensioning. Too small means insufficient prestress, too large crushes the concrete. Those who cram BTC into traditional portfolio managers are still at the stage of "adding a structural column for peace of mind," far from the level of producing structural calculation manuals. But the direction is set—when asset management starts using dividends, the most conservative cash flow, to pour into the most aggressive asset layer, it means the geotechnical survey report has already implicitly approved the bearing capacity of this site.
The blueprint's review stamp hasn't been affixed yet, but the construction team has already entered the site. #vaneckfranklinbtcetfs$JUP
Solana’s DeFi ecosystem depends on more than fast transactions; users also need efficient ways to discover liquidity and execute swaps. Jupiter has built its identity around trading infrastructure within that ecosystem. The next stage of its story depends on sustained usage, competition among aggregators, and the value its token captures from ecosystem activity. Strong product adoption and token demand are not automatically the same thing.A 24-month lock-up period means that core contributors and early supporters cannot unlock at TGE, which many people see as a positive for $PREDICT.
On the other hand, I think this sense of security is easily overestimated: locking these two types of holders does not mean there is no circulation pressure from other allocations; delaying the release only adjusts the timing of supply and does not automatically create demand. I am more interested in seeing what indispensable use cases the token has, rather than just giving it extra credit based on the lock-up period.Noticed that $BTC has nearly $38 million of spot sell pressure settled around the 82,500 level.
This batch of orders has lingered on the market for over 96 hours, coinciding exactly with the eve of the Federal Reserve FOMC meeting, making the intention quite intriguing.
From a four-hour chart perspective, this position is very tricky. It is not only the top trendline resistance of the current downtrend channel but also a clear FVG (Fair Value Gap) left from earlier.
It is foreseeable that a large number of technical traders will choose to position short orders here.
But beware of the main force's "liquidity hunting" tactic: if the price truly approaches the daily resistance, this obvious "sell wall" will very likely be instantly withdrawn.
Once the wall is removed, those who placed shorts near 82,500 will be forced to become the prime "short squeeze fuel" for this rebound.

#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that cryptocurrencies can help the dollar maintain its top position. I find that interesting, but this can't be directly translated as a bullish signal for Bitcoin, right? I understand that the real beneficiary might be the dollar stablecoins, and whether funds are willing to buy Bitcoin involves quite a few other factors. It might have a slight positive effect on Bitcoin sentiment, and if the price moves up now, some might credit her for it, but I think that's a bit of a stretch. Is this praise for the crypto space, or is it about finding new channels for the dollar?Conclusion first: $CEG perpetual futures traded only 1,252 contracts in 24 hours, about 320,000 USD. On the same day, CEG spot shares traded 3.18 million shares, about 820 million USD. The perpetual futures volume is only 0.04% of the spot volume.
At 18:00 on October 27 (Beijing time), OKX launched CEG/USDT perpetual futures, along with BAC, IBKR, and MPWR. On the same day, Constellation officially announced it secured a conditional loan commitment of up to 5 billion USD from the U.S. Department of Energy for upgrading 8 nuclear power plants totaling 1.1GW. The spot price that day peaked at 265.78, closed at 258.98, up 2.58%.
What really matters is the volume distribution: in the first 6 hours after launch, 1,166 contracts traded, accounting for 93% of the daily volume; in the following 15 hours, only 86 contracts traded, averaging about 1,500 USD per hour. With 20x leverage, 1 contract equals 1 CEG share, open interest is only 131 contracts, 34,000 USD. The best bid is 259.11, best ask 261.28, spread 0.84%, and the top 20 bid levels total only 12,900 USD. The four new contracts combined traded about 1 million USD on their first day.
If you want to leverage this news, the first question isn’t whether the direction is right, but whether there will be anyone to take the other side when you want to close your position. Do you think contracts of this volume can still be leveraged?If the FOMC really holds steady tonight, then the market's early trading is probably not about "no change in interest rates." Have you noticed that the longer BTC hovers around 80,000, the more it seems like it's waiting for an answer that's already a foregone conclusion? The most direct feeling from watching the market these past two days is: it looks calm on the surface, but underneath it's not easy. BTC's current price is roughly between 79,330 and 79,800, with a 24-hour high touching 80,291, and an intraday pullback ranging from 0.54% to 0.76%. The monthly cumulative decline is close to 5%, marking three consecutive weeks of losses. The Fear and Greed Index has slipped from 50 to 48, landing in the lower neutral zone; sentiment is neither panicked nor optimistic. What really concerns me is the structural divergence in interest rate expectations. The probability of the FOMC keeping rates unchanged this time is as high as 90.6% to 91%, a figure that is almost fully priced in, meaning the decision itself is unlikely to be a directional driver. But the probability of a rate hike in December has suddenly risen to nearly 80%, and this is the part the market is repricing. In other words, the trade is not on "no change tonight," but on "possibly tighter later." This delayed expectation shift is most likely to unsettle short-term positions because prices won't drop all at once but will repeatedly wear down the patience of those chasing longs. About $135 million was liquidated in the past 24 hours, with longs accounting for $91.74 million. The leverage longs clearly showed signs of retreating before the decision. BTC is probing back and forth around 80,000, while ETH and altcoins show weaker resilience, indicating risk appetite has not returned and funds prefer toThis post aims to answer a question a friend asked me about configuring public chain targets.
Question: Which do you think is better to configure in terms of public chains, $SOL or $ETH?
In my view, sol's long-term performance will be better than eth's. I'll just give some very simple reasons for reference. These are just some potential reasons; I won't talk about fundamentals for now.
I'm not denying eth, I just think sol's price performance will be better than eth's.
1) eth's market cap is 4.8 times that of sol, so purely from a market cap perspective, eth's growth rate will be lower than sol's;
2) From the team perspective, I still believe sol's US-based team is more proactive, and sol is a native US public chain. The US remains the center on-chain;
3) Regarding the community, sol's community activity seems much stronger to me than eth's;
4) From a technical perspective, looking at eth's performance over the past few years, it's basically stablecoin-like, no rise or fall, while sol's performance is better;
5) Whether it's meme, rwa, or stablecoins and payments, the sol ecosystem gives me the impression of rapid growth, while eth feels like slow growth, but none of these areas are anywhere near saturation yet.
6) eth's team seems a bit too grand, trying to solve everything—execution, scaling, security, privacy—because it needs to safeguard L2, but L2 gives back very little in return. I don't really like this kind of effort without reward. Sun Yuchen secretly hoarding is worth a closer look
I came across an interesting news flash: 10 hours ago, an address linked to Sun Yuchen withdrew 4.65 trillion $PEPE from Poloniex. I specifically checked Arkham's data and was shocked—his marked and inferred wallets together already hold about $51.25 million worth of $PEPE, accounting for 2.82% of the total supply, likely making him the largest individual holder.
Some say he lost 98% trading TRUMP and isn't skilled. But from another perspective: someone who suffered a huge loss on TRUMP then turns around and puts over fifty million dollars into PEPE—is that just playing around? Top players' moves are often more honest than their words.
Looking at another set of data: some dormant large PEPE holders moved 2.27 trillion $PEPE in the past two days, and another large holder deposited over 36.6 billion $PEPE to Coinbase, interpreted as possibly preparing to sell. These two events together are even more interesting: old chips are loosening, but new big money is stepping in. Chip turnover is often the classic script before a market rally.
Of course, following the big whales is not a guaranteed win—they have unlimited ammo, we don't. My approach is to use their moves as directional reference, but manage my own position. At least in terms of direction, the richest group is voting with their actions, which carries more weight than any analyst's talk.$ZEC
Privacy coins are still the strongest in this round. ZEC turns ten years old today, currently priced at 1310, up nearly 7% in 24 hours, while BTC only rose 1.5% in the same period.
At the end of September, it surged to 1700, was pushed back to 1050 in mid-October, and now has climbed back above 1300, with its market cap ranking 9th, pushing HYPE and DOGE down.
What’s driving it isn’t just the birthday atmosphere. The co-founder proposed redirecting future $125 million in block rewards into a developer fund, securing a long-term financial support for the network. Along with the NU7 upgrade on November 5, the rush of funds is understandable.
I looked at it around 1100 last round but didn’t buy because it was too slow. Looking back now, the privacy narrative always accelerates only after you confirm it. This time, I tend to believe it’s real money betting on it; this run before the upgrade doesn’t look like pure hype.

☑️Cloud & Search Ads⬆️ (revenue ~ $29B). However, AI infrastructure depreciation ⬆️ surged in Q3 (Capex⬆️ to $195B–$205B) + expensive AI/Gemini operating fees have eroded profit margins
☑️Non-operating profit in Q3
- Private capital markets did not record record valuation increases (like the $99B profit in Q2)
- Mainly from bank deposit interest + valuation of technology/startup investment portfolios (maintained at a flat/stable level, not booming as before, causing the market value assessment of the Equity Securities segment not to increase significantlyThe leverage lending structure of the current three major mainstream assets has become extremely skewed: $BTC long loans are 1,346.95 coins versus shorts at only 76.29 coins; $ETH longs at 16,200 coins against shorts at 878.16 coins; $SOL longs at 105,000 coins versus shorts at 4,012 coins. The long-to-short lending ratios reach approximately 17.7x, 18.4x, and 26.2x respectively. This is not ordinary directional bullishness but a "one-sided crowding" at the capital structure level. What is truly worth cautioning is not just the abundance of longs, but the manner in which longs are leveraged. The buying pressure for these three coins is continuously building with leverage, and the borrowing-to-buy ratio keeps climbing, indicating that the current rise is not steadily driven by spot capital but by continuously stacking leveraged funds. This structure has a distinct characteristic: when prices rise, buying power is extremely strong because leverage amplifies the efficiency of every incremental gain; yet its vulnerability lies in the same place—once the market reverses, a large number of leveraged longs will simultaneously trigger stop-losses and liquidations at similar price levels, causing rapid declines and long lower shadows with sharp wicks. The market often underestimates that many equate "long dominance" directly with "trend safety." On the contrary, when long lending suppresses shorts by more than tenfold or even twentyfold, it means shorts have been largely squeezed out, leaving thin opposing positions. At this point, price continuation upward lacks the boosting force of short covering, while dense leveraged liquidation zones accumulate below. In other words, this is not a healthy sign of strong longs but a tense state where upward fuel and downward risks are simultaneously amplified. In one sentenceWhen institutional risk budgets rebound, do infrastructure tokens benefit more? The Nasdaq rises driven by AI heavyweight stocks, indicating the market is willing to revalue the long-term tech narrative; but oracle demand ultimately depends on on-chain finance and cross-chain activity. If actual calls and integrations increase, I will raise the weighting on fundamentals-driven factors; if only tech stock valuations expand while on-chain demand stagnates, narrative premiums will be hard to sustain. On the morning of the FOMC decision day, market trading volume was extremely low. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation across the network reached $134 million, with long position liquidations at $62.26 million and short position liquidations at $71.5 million. In the double liquidation scenario, short position liquidations surpassed longs, indicating that short-selling funds were also hit, and the market leverage clearing is nearing its end.
BTC is currently trading around 81,000, with the 80,000 level continuing to see repeated tug-of-war. There is a buy support of 73 million at the 79,300 level below, while heavy sell pressure exists at the 81,000 round number above. The liquidation map shows that breaking below 76,566 will trigger $1.572 billion in long liquidations; breaking above 84,036 will trigger $1.068 billion in short liquidations.
ETH plunged more than 6% to around 2,350, with 2,285 as the short-term critical level; failure to hold this at close will expose the 2,250-2,200 range below. SOL dropped about 5.5%, losing the 100 level, corresponding to a liquidation amount of approximately 31 million; 98.5 is the support baseline, and a break below points to 93-96.
The core market variables hinge on tonight's FOMC decision and subsequent data. The strategy remains to short on rebounds: BTC can be shorted when it rebounds to 81,000-81,500 and meets resistance; if volume breaks below 79,300, follow the trend to short. ETH and SOL move in tandem and should be shorted accordingly. Leverage should be kept within 5x, closely watching closing prices: BTC at 79,300, ETH at 2,285, SOL at 98.5; intraday breaches do not count, capital preservation is priority.

Revenue hit a record high but net profit declined, with the profit drop including a one-time loss of $67 million, as well as structural expenses and increased credit provisions;
Crypto revenue shrank significantly, event contracts took over the growth baton, but they contribute to "growth contribution" rather than "profit contribution," and whether this can continue depends on regulation and event supply.$ETH At noon I was watching that 25x short position, and now looking again, it's still floating at a loss. 9,700 ETH, the person who opened the position has strong hands.
But what really made me pause is the line below: 2205. If it breaks below here, the forced liquidation strength of longs on mainstream exchanges could pile up to around 900 million USD.
What does 900 million mean? The price is now 2353, just 6 points away from this level. A little more downward stretch and it will get there.
There's another strange thing: an ancient address holds 45,000 ETH, worth over 100 million, and three hours ago just sent 5,000 to an exchange. When an old whale transfers coins to an exchange, it's usually not for sightseeing.
So this market situation is very twisted: on one side, longs are clinging to the liquidation line, a big crowd of longs queued up waiting to die; on the other side, the old whale is carrying coins to the counter; in the middle, there's a 25x short position, floating at a loss but not liquidated.
I don't dare say which way it will go. But it has dropped 4 points in 7 days, bounced 2 points today, volume is just normal level, I don't believe this rebound has strength.
The area below 2205 is where the real battle between bulls and bears happens. Let's watch first and talk when it gets stuck there. $ETH The biggest drawback of tokenized funds has always been that you can buy but not sell freely. On October 26, the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission approved the first batch of tokenized funds offered to the public, allowing secondary trading on licensed virtual asset platforms. On the same day, two money market funds from China Asset Management (Hong Kong) opened 7×24 hour trading. This is the world's first public tokenized fund to have secondary circulation on a regulated platform.
Previously, the selling point was only that shares were recorded on-chain, but to exit, you still had to go through subscription and redemption. If it was the weekend or the underlying assets' market was closed, you could only wait. The secondary market fills this gap: you can directly buy and sell with other participants, and trading time is no longer restricted by traditional financial business hours.
However, around-the-clock trading does not mean transactions occur at net asset value (NAV) all the time; prices are still constrained by liquidity, and if you urgently want to sell late at night, you still have to pay the spread.
The significance is not just having two more products, but connecting two systems: the fund manages the underlying assets, shares are recorded on-chain, the platform handles matching, and regulators oversee pricing and disclosure.
Next, there are three questions: Can deep liquidity be achieved outside trading hours? Will the order book prices deviate from NAV for a long time? How to balance convenience and underlying liquidity? Once this works, the compliant infrastructure supporting $BTC and $ETH will benefit, and stablecoins and tokenized treasury bills will also be pushed into the same pool.
Ordinary people don’t need to rush to new products but should watch the signals: public funds are starting to have 24/7 turnover on-chain, widening the compliant channels for entering and exiting the digital asset market.
Markets carry risks; make your own decisions.Seeing this, I feel a bit of familiarity from the last cycle: when an industry starts aggressively reporting results, the market tends to treat the entire concept chain as beneficiaries. After being involved for a while, I tend to first ask, who exactly is pocketing the profits?
In the material, SK Hynix's Q3 revenue reached 104.62 trillion KRW, surpassing 100 trillion for the first time; operating profit grew 632.1% year-over-year, and the stock price rose 10.14% intraday. This time, unlike merely speculating on expectations, AI infrastructure demand has already been reflected in the suppliers' revenue and profits.
My judgment is that this is a strong signal for AI hardware, but it cannot be directly counted as a benefit for the on-chain AI sector. Chip manufacturers have supply-demand and financial report support, but tokens still need to prove how value flows back; if storage shortages persist, applications relying on hardware might actually face cost pressures. Viewed in the cycle, I prefer to see this as part of the industry's realization rather than a new starting line for all AI narratives. Next, focus on revenue realization and avoid over-imagining concepts.#谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？
Google Cloud's 82% growth is real, but the free cash flow of -5.8 billion is also real.

Attention. The giant whale market shows an extremely tangled "long-short double kill" battle.
According to the latest monitoring, the total position of the giant whale reaches $10.989 billion, with short positions holding $5.91 billion, significantly higher than the long positions of $5.079 billion. The shorts hold the advantage in total positions.
But the strange thing is the profit and loss ratio 📊: longs currently have unrealized gains as high as $182 million 📈, while shorts are experiencing unrealized losses of $128 million 📉. This indicates that although the short positions are heavy, the current market price favors the longs.
Even more interesting is the funding fee: longs are paying out money ($66.08 million) to maintain their positions, while shorts are receiving money (earning $112 million). Although shorts collect interest, they are losing principal and face the risk of further short squeezes at any time ⚠️.
The current market logic is very clear: the shorts are heavily positioned at the border, but the longs have stronger pull in spot/market. If the price continues to push upward, these $5.9 billion short positions could trigger a stampede liquidation at any time. However, longs endure daily funding fee losses, and if momentum stalls, they may quickly retreat.
At this stage, the giant whale's trump card is already on the table; it’s a matter of who can hold out until the end 🛡️.Hynix's financial report gets more interesting the more you look at it; the market never really cares about the book numbers, but the real trends. $SKHYNIX $SNDK $BTC
Q2 net profit and EPS both exceeded expectations, but revenue didn't keep up; profits were mainly supported by the depreciation of the Korean won and selling idle assets, yet the stock price fell. Q3 net profit and EPS missed targets, but revenue and operating profit both hit new highs; the net profit decline was purely due to exchange losses from the won's appreciation, and the stock price actually rose. Q2 seemed like a consolation pill for shareholders, but Q3's core business was strong enough that it wasn't needed. Brother Feng predicted losing one round, but $SKHY's average cost is $138, and the stock price won.
Looking at operating profit and revenue, Hynix is still accelerating growth, but the operating profit growth rate is already slower than revenue growth, and profit margin expansion is slowing. This indicates AI storage is indeed still in short supply, but the gap may be narrowing; Q4 data still needs to be closely watched. Looking at Hynix alone, AI storage still has room, and we will cross-verify once SanDisk's financial report is out. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 #RobinhoodQ3营收增长，净利润下降 $BTC is showing losses across the board! The three short positions in BTC, ETH, and SOL have a combined unrealized loss of about 17 million, with over 11 million collected in funding fees.

The total position is now about $548,000, with a liquidation price of 2,317.56, only about $43 away from the current price. For every $1 drop in ETH, the account incurs an unrealized loss of about $232.

$PUMP: On April 28, 2026, about $370 million worth of PUMP was burned in a one-time event, after which the buyback ratio was reduced from 100% of net income to 50%, with the other half used for operations. Buybacks are still ongoing but have been halved from their peak intensity, and the token itself still lacks rigid use cases.
$RAY: 12% of daily trading fees are used to buy back RAY. Calculated at a 0.25% fee rate, the effective buyback is about 0.03% of trading volume. However, note that the repurchased RAY is held in a public protocol address rather than being burned, which is fundamentally different from "permanent deflation." The advantage is that it consumes liquidity from the entire Solana network, not just a single launchpad.
$BONK: No longer a "zero-revenue Meme." Ecosystem products do generate fee income, and part of that income is used to buy back and burn BONK. However, in July 2026, BonkDAO suffered a $20 million governance attack and was subsequently delisted by Upbit, exposing structural governance risks in the Meme ecosystem.
Summary:
PUMP is "buyback intensity halved from peak, token still lacks rigid use cases"; RAY is "underlying hub consumes liquidity from the entire network, but repurchased tokens are not burned"; BONK is "has a buyback mechanism, but governance attacks and exchange delisting severely damaged its trust foundation."

Kaspa’s proof-of-work approach offers a different route to scaling than the account-based designs used by many smart-contract networks. Its blockDAG architecture aims to support faster block production while preserving core proof-of-work principles. The challenge is turning that technical distinction into broader utility. Developer activity, security, decentralization, and sustained user demand will matter more than architecture alone.SK Hynix's earnings report today was quite good, marking a strong start. Revenue reached 104 trillion KRW, with an operating profit margin of 80%. The overall average selling price of DRAM rose nearly 30% quarter-over-quarter, NAND increased about 25%, and the price hikes combined with a higher proportion of premium products jointly drove profitability. If Samsung and SanDisk's upcoming earnings reports follow this trend, we can expect a solid rebound cycle in the market.
The number of long-term contract customers increased from about 10 to 14, with typical contract durations of 5 years, and some customers are negotiating extensions. This covers over 50% of total capacity through 2027–28, maintaining a similar ratio in the mid-term. Including volumes under negotiation, it can even be considered that DRAM and HBM volumes are "effectively sold out" through 2029. Additionally, price and volume negotiations for 2027 HBM with major customers have been completed.
The full-year shareholder return plan is about 100 trillion KRW, which includes the 40 trillion KRW buyback announced in August and recently completed; this is not an additional 100 trillion KRW buyback today, but the figure is eye-catching enough for news headlines.
This earnings report shows NAND pricing remains strong, and enterprise SSD demand is improving the product mix. This weakens concerns that "SanDisk is about to face a simultaneous downturn in demand across the entire industry."
In the future, after SanDisk's stock price rebounds to a high level, SK Hynix's expansion of high-end NAND and enterprise SSD supply can also be interpreted as competitive pressure on SanDisk.

#$BEAT $SOL Robinhood’s Q3 results show why record revenue doesn’t always translate into stronger profits.
Crypto revenue fell 55%, while event contracts climbed past $170M and operating expenses grew faster than total revenue.
The business is diversifying, but the real test is whether that growth can translate into more consistent earnings across different market cycles. 📊
#RobinhoodQ3ProfitFalls I am A Cheng. Last night, Bitcoin rose from 79,000 to 81,000. What exactly influenced this increase?
This time, BTC rebounded from around $79,000 to around $81,000, an increase of about 2.53%. The most supported explanation currently is: a rebound in US stock risk appetite, a drop in international oil prices, and renewed inflows into Bitcoin ETFs.
But this was not driven by any single major positive news.
1. The three most likely factors driving the rise
1. Strengthening of the US tech sector, rebound in risk appetite
On October 27, the US stock market was boosted by enthusiasm for AI-related investments, improving market risk appetite. Bitcoin, as a risk asset, also received some support.
This is one of the most direct macro explanations for the rebound that night.
2. Drop in international oil prices, easing inflation concerns
Oil prices fell that night, reducing market worries about energy prices pushing up inflation.
The transmission logic is: oil price drop → easing inflation pressure expectations → reduced interest rate concerns → support for risk assets.
However, this does not mean the Federal Reserve has shifted to easing.
3. Renewed net inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs
On October 26 (Monday), US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of about $110 million, ending two consecutive trading days of net outflows.
This indicates improved institutional demand, providing support for the rebound.
#10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $BTC ZEC 18 hours 1,272.6 → 1,306.1 (+2.6%), high at 1,329.3. 24h liquidation $3.62 million, shorts $3.29 million accounting for 91%, a typical short squeeze. But OI only increased by 5.4%, trading volume was 0.81 times the 14-day average, and at the new high of 1,329, OI was actually lower than at midnight — volume, price, and open interest diverged. Judgment: short squeeze ending, high-level turnover. Key level 1,290 (MA20), breaking below and OI rising indicates weakness; new high with OI declining is a bearish divergence #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 , not investment advice.Predict.fun has turned the story into a multiple-choice question this time: announcing a total supply of 1 billion $PREDICT tokens, with 16% unlocked at TGE; 70 million tokens airdropped in the first season, users can claim 35% immediately or lock for 12 months to receive all. The tokens haven't reached the claiming stage yet, but the trade-offs are already in front of the users.
I think this arrangement is somewhat favorable for short-term supply constraints but shouldn't be directly interpreted as a price boost. Early supporters and core contributors lock their tokens for 24 months first, then release them monthly over 36 months, delaying this portion of chips entering the market; however, 16% is still unlocked at TGE, so the immediate supply cannot be ignored. The airdrop choice between two options places immediate liquidity and long-term waiting on opposite ends of the scale.
The moral of this story, as I see it, is that locking tokens can postpone the test but cannot replace real demand. Do you think the outcome will be more people accepting to wait, or would they rather only claim 35% and keep liquidity?$Q Long-short ratio divergence! What exactly are the main players up to?
Brothers, the Q market situation is quite interesting! The 1-hour contract net outflow is 1.9 million U, the 12-hour outflow exceeds 3.74 million U, short-term funds are clearly retreating, but there is a return flow in the 5-minute and 15-minute intervals, indicating intense capital battles!
More importantly, the Binance account long-short ratio is as high as 2.2927, the large account number long-short ratio is 2.2755, but the large account position long-short ratio is only 1.2567. There are quite a few bullish people, but the position structure is not that optimistic, so beware of the risk of a pullback after a crowded high-level long position.
Reminder from Sister Luo: Don’t just look at the long-short ratio and assume the main players are inducing longs; focus on whether funds can continue to flow back and whether key supports can hold. If you want to catch the rhythm, wait for the signal first, don’t rush in excitedly and feed the market fuel! #美加稳定币监管推进，社区银行获邀入场 $SKHYNIX quarterly revenue surpasses 100 trillion KRW for the first time, how much further can AI memory prosperity go? The company announced Q3 revenue of 104.62 trillion KRW and operating profit of 83.33 trillion KRW, stating that HBM4 is expected to become the main product from the fourth quarter; more than half of the 2027–2028 capacity has already been signed under long-term agreements. High profits also raise the comparison base; if HBM4 volume increases and long-term contracts are fulfilled with gross margin remaining resilient, the cycle continuation is more credible; if prices or customer capital expenditures weaken, I will downgrade the prosperity outlook.$ETHW did see a volume-increasing rebound bullish candle today (October 28), but this is a short-term momentum recovery without corresponding fundamental or news catalysts. It is a typical high-volatility micro-market speculative target, not suitable as a stable entry point. Recent trend: • ETHW was around 0.29 USDT in early October, then declined steadily. Midweek this week, it hit a low of about 0.213 USDT (October 25 low was 0.2127). • Today's volume-increasing rebound: opened at 0.2262, currently around 0.2647, a 24-hour increase of about +21%, with a high of 0.2673. Today's trading volume is about 199,000 coins (quoted amount about 48,000 USDT), 2–3 times the volume of recent trading days (about 50,000–90,000 coins), indicating active capital involvement. • However, today's K-line has not yet closed, so the sustainability of the rebound still needs to be observed to see if it can hold steady. Robinhood expands RLUSD and BNY custody to XRP, current price 1.326, I won't chase for now.
Seen:
Ripple officially announced on 10/27 a strategic partnership with Robinhood: RLUSD is now listed on Robinhood Chain and Bitstamp, with plans to launch in the app within the year, and institutional settlements to run on XRPL.
On the same day, BNY custody expanded support for XRP and RLUSD, and plans to allow clients to mint/redeem directly through BNY.
At this moment (10/28 ~15:07) OKX spot is about 1.3259, up about 2.2% in 24 hours, high 1.344, low 1.291; perpetual nominal positions about 91 million USD, funding rate slightly positive at 0.01%.
My thoughts:
This is positive for stablecoin and custody infrastructure, but it doesn't mean spot XRP demand has confirmed an explosion; the positive news is stuck on the eve of the FOMC, making it more likely to be overshadowed by macro sentiment.
What I will do:
Observe and not chase. First see if it can hold above 1.30 (close to 4H MA20); if it breaks below today's low near 1.291, consider it invalid.
Do you think this wave is more like RLUSD narrative premium, or a sentiment rebound before the FOMC?

#RobinhoodQ3RevenueGrowth, net profit decline #OctoberFOMCInterestRateDecisionComingSoon79,500 was the price I bought at, and I sold everything at 81,000. Below 83,000, I don't plan to enter again.
The order placed at 79,500 was filled. I sold everything above 81,000, a 1,500 point gain, enough.
Currently, I am out of position. Today, I'll explain why I exited and why I don't plan to enter below 83,000.
① This rebound lacks one thing: money
The bounce from 79,500 to 81,000 was fast but weakly supported. Spot ETFs are still seeing net outflows; an increase without incremental funds buying in is a classic oversold correction. Corrections can be traded, but reversals cannot—these are two different things.
② The real variable isn't in the market but at 2:30 AM tomorrow
The market has fully priced in no change in October; attention is on December. Interest rate futures show over a 67.5% chance of a 25bp hike in December, with nearly all major institutions betting on action then. Betting on a trend reversal during a rate hike cycle is going against interest rates.
Wash is particularly averse to giving clear guidance; every word he says tonight will be dissected. Taking positions to guess now has very low cost-effectiveness. $BTC #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？
The 8.81 billion cloud profit on the return side, 35.6% profit margin, and 513.9 billion RPO are all real;
The cost side's -5.855 billion FCF, 350.2 billion/500.3 billion 2027/2028 Capex, and 7.1 billion quarterly depreciation that is accelerating are also real.
The most dangerous current move is to replace the judgment of whether the 2027 depreciation impact has been priced in with a "33%--44% target price upside."
Let the cloud profit margin under the depreciation-inclusive standard in the first quarter data define the margin of safety, rather than letting the target price consensus bear the time risk for you. $SNDK $SKHY Last night, the US tech and storage sectors rose, but it's just that AI sentiment has warmed up, not a complete trend reversal, just a rebound.
This week is earnings season, with Microsoft, Google, and Amazon reporting tonight, and the Federal Reserve's rate decision is also coming.
The market is only focused on one signal: after companies have spent so much money on AI, can they really make money and increase revenue?
The storage sector is worth watching: SK Hynix, SanDisk, and Micron.
AI requires not only graphics cards but also a large amount of storage. If big companies continue to invest heavily in AI expansion, storage demand will improve accordingly.
However, storage is a cyclical industry; you can't just look at AI, but also supply levels, chip pricing, and profit expectations.
Key focus is on whether Powell's stance is hawkish or dovish, along with the earnings outlook from Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and whether the Nasdaq, semiconductors, and storage can rally together. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $MU $BTC has been hovering between 80,860 and 81,150 since touching 81,226 at 10 AM, currently at 80,930, up 1.6% in 24h, with Binance spot trading volume only $970 million.
The market is really quiet; TRdesk data shows BTC total liquidations across the network in the past 4 hours are only $550,000, and 89% of the $31.9 million in 24h liquidations were from that early morning short squeeze.
$ETH is a bit more interesting, up 2.2% in 24h to 2,354, with Binance ETH contract open interest increasing from 2.345 million at 7 AM to 2.368 million, an increase of 23,000 contracts, roughly $54 million.
The ETH long-short account ratio is 2.94, while BTC is only 1.94; retail investors clearly prefer to bet on ETH. Funding rates on both sides are around 0.007%, so it's not very hot yet.
My view is that with ETH longs so crowded before the rate decision, if the outcome disappoints, ETH is most likely to get hit first. I won't chase longs at this level. I’m not chasing $TSLA; at this level, I’d rather wait for a pullback than catch Barclays’ $450 “check.” 🖐️
The stock price surged to 407.46 yesterday, up 4.04%, with a trading volume of 18.2 billion, ranking fourth in US stocks. Market cap increased by 70 billion dollars overnight—looks impressive, right? But there’s an awkward technical issue: RSI is already between 64 and 68, hovering near the overbought zone; price is nearly 6% above the 20-day moving average; ADX is only 14, meaning sentiment is rushing ahead but the trend backbone hasn’t caught up yet. The 395 to 400 range is a resonance resistance where Fibonacci extension and psychological levels overlap, so it’s not easy to break through in one go.
Most people in the market are now in a state of “itchy hands but afraid to go heavy.” Seeing Barclays raise the target price from 370 to 450 and upgrade to overweight makes you want to chase; but looking down at the 400 round number, you’re afraid of buying at a short-term peak. Institutions themselves are in a mess: Morgan Stanley at 410, JPMorgan at 430, SocGen at 400, China Merchants at 354; average target price around 415, with a nearly 100-dollar spread between bulls and bears, indicating no one really dares to confidently say this valuation is stable.
I buy the logic of Robotaxi and energy storage, but a good story still needs a good price. Chasing high is likely just carrying the bags for those trapped earlier.
Do you think this is a real breakout, or just an emotional high blown up by Barclays’ talk?BTC is once again hovering near $80,000. Tonight at 2 AM Beijing time, the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision, followed by a press conference at 2:30 AM.
Between $82,000 and $84,000, there has been heavy trading volume. Funds that entered at this level previously are likely to take profits and sell when the price returns here; the $77,000 area below is also a concentrated chip zone. The price is squeezed between these two chip zones, with $80,000 serving as the short-term key level to watch for strength or weakness. Holding above $82,000 is the foundation for a rebound to test $84,000; breaking below $76,000 means the original analysis needs to be revised.
There is a positive signal on the capital side. On October 26, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $110 million, mainly from BlackRock's IBIT. However, over five trading days, the total is still a net outflow, so this can only be considered a single-day recovery, not a trend reversal. Why is BTC still stagnant despite $110 million coming in? Because while ETFs are buying, others in the market are selling. Whether the price can be pushed up ultimately depends on how large the selling pressure above is.
For Coinbase premium, just watch the zero line: if the premium turns positive and holds, it indicates follow-up demand from US spot investors; if the price rises but the premium remains weak, it means contracts are pushing the price. ETFs reflect capital flows after market close, while premium shows intraday demand; both together provide an accurate picture.
There are three possible outcomes for the decision: no rate hike but emphasizing inflation, with a hawkish tone still suppressing prices; no rate hike and acknowledging demand cooling, easing pressure on $BTC but still watching inflation data; or a 25 basis point hike, reducing risk appetite. No predictions before the meeting; if it breaks below $76,000, admit the analysis was wrong. The notable point in the US and Canadian proposals is not simply that banks may issue stablecoins, but that the economics are being fenced in. US rules would bar issuer-paid interest, while Canada’s draft limits holder yields and caps redemption fees at 1%.
That could make existing deposit relationships and payment distribution more valuable than yield incentives. Whether those advantages can dislodge USDT and USDC remains untested.
#USCanadaStablecoinPush #Google Cloud business grows 82%, how is the AI investment return? Hello everyone, I am Kuijing. Today, I will analyze whether the European Central Bank will raise rates or maintain stability on the 29th. This article will give you a thorough analysis! Based on publicly available data and information before the decision, the probability of keeping the deposit rate unchanged at 2.50% in October is overwhelmingly dominant, and the possibility of a 25 basis point rate hike is very low. The analysis is conducted from five aspects: market pricing, inflation structure, official communication, financial conditions, and historical rhythm. Estimated probabilities: Keep unchanged (deposit rate 2.50%) about 90%–95%, Raise by 25bp (deposit rate rises to 2.75%) about 5%–10%. This probability distribution is not a subjective guess but highly consistent with market pricing before the decision: the implied probability of a rate hike in October is considered below 10%, while December is widely priced as the rate hike window. Basis of analysis: Basis one: Market pricing and institutional consensus overwhelmingly point to "no change". A Reuters survey from October 5–8 of 73 economists showed 70 expected rates to remain unchanged in October, and 64 expected a further 25bp hike in December. Mainstream institutions such as UBS, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, and ING clearly predicted "no change" in October before the decision and viewed December as a more natural timing for action. The information reflected by market pricing is a collective expectation aggregation, not the view of a single institution, which means that for an October rate hike to happen, the central bank would need to actively "surprise" the market consensus,Tether has no obligation to redeem or guarantee USAT. This sentence gives me a bit of a familiar feeling from the previous round: seeing a familiar brand makes it easy to transfer trust along with it. Now when I see this kind of news, I tend to pause first and see who truly bears the responsibility.
What’s different this time is that technical and brand support are clearly separated from issuance responsibility. USAT is independently issued by Anchorage, which differs from USDT’s legal arrangements, and the GENIUS Act approval process has not yet started. I think the significance of this news lies not in adding heat to the stablecoin sector, but in reminding the market that brand endorsement cannot replace legal responsibility.
My judgment is that this is more like an expectation adjustment as the industry moves toward rule implementation, and should not be directly regarded as a compliance benefit. If users still treat the two products as the same credit, I speculate that the boundaries of responsibility will be easily underestimated. Veteran players, when you see a familiar brand but have to recognize a new issuer, do you get that familiar feeling from the last round?Robinhood’s Q3 earnings reveal a major shift in its business model. Prediction markets are gaining momentum, while crypto trading revenue faces significant pressure. 📊 Key Highlights: ▪ Total revenue reached $1.424 billion, up 12% year-over-year. ▪ Prediction market revenue climbed to $173 million, surpassing crypto trading revenue of $120 million. ▪ Crypto trading revenue plunged 55% year-over-year. ▪ Net profit declined 14% year-over-year, while EPS missed expectations. ▪ Robinhood shares droThe storage stocks are really strong this round! $SKHY just released a stunning earnings report today, with quarterly revenue of 104.62 trillion KRW, operating profit of 83.33 trillion, and an operating margin that soared to 80%! Who still says AI storage demand is just pie in the sky? Even more impressive, SK Hynix already has long-term contracts securing over half of its capacity for 2027–2028, and management even believes that storage supply shortages could continue until 2030! This isn’t just about making quick money from price hikes; customers are already rushing to secure future capacity in advance!
Looking at $MU and $SNDK, Micron is benefiting from HBM and DRAM market booms, while SanDisk mainly relies on NAND and enterprise SSDs. SanDisk’s gross margin last quarter was as high as 84.6%, and with earnings coming tomorrow, how can the market not be excited? But with profits already this exaggerated, how much future growth is already priced into the stock? Long-term contracts can lock in some orders, but they can’t lock in ever-rising prices!
My judgment is that AI demand is real, the storage super boom is real, but the capital frenzy is also real! I acknowledge this rebound, but should I blindly chase the highs before earnings? No way! I want to see if orders and profits in 2027 can continue to exceed expectations. Even if earnings explode again, if the stock price can’t hold, it could still crash!BTC has rebounded as expected to the first target range I mentioned, 81000-81500. So, will it rise or fall next?
Yesterday, I specifically reminded everyone in my post that around 79000, many people were shorting, while some were quietly buying spot. This kind of situation often leads to a rebound. I warned everyone not to short around 79000, and as expected, the rebound happened. I reached the first position I mentioned, 81000-81500. At that time, some comments said that the big players opened shorts around 79000 and used the long-short ratio to argue. Honestly, as long as the big players aren't foolish, it's unlikely they would open shorts at the 79000 support level, ignoring 87000 and 84000. Clearly, those shorting at 79000 are retail traders, not big players. This rebound primarily forced the retail short sellers to close their positions. So, will it rise or fall next?
First of all, from the current perspective, I don't think BTC has stopped falling in the mid to long term. After this rebound ends, it will still fall. 75000 remains the first position I mentioned. The question is where this rebound will go. The first target range I mentioned, 81000-81500, has already been reached. Next, we should focus on the second target above 82000 for liquidity. This level might be reached because when BTC rebounded near 81200, there was no obvious weakness, and volume did not increase. Spot CVD is still continuously growing, and there is no obvious spot outflow. So, in this situation, it is possible that it will go up one more time Tonight's decision, the market has already bet on the answer 🏦
The general expectation is to keep interest rates unchanged, the press conference comes later, and the wording from Walsh is the key.
No new economic forecast, where December goes depends entirely on his few words tonight.
I think it's not suitable to rush for direction before the decision, the BTC 80,000 level is still in sight.
If the wording really softens, let's see if the price can hold above 81,000.
Do you think this time he will soothe the market or strike expectations?
