The market is cooperating as well, OKX is now hovering around 79,800, with a 24-hour low of 79,400, just grinding below 80,000. Those who chased above 80,000 and got in now are selling at a loss, no surprise. Last time I bet it would break through a similar threshold directly, but it was ground down for three days with no reaction. This time I’ve learned my lesson; at this kind of level, I won’t act—neither cutting losses nor adding. Also, the original Bitcoin DEX, the old version V1 of DotSwap, was hacked; within four hours, 8.5 BTC were drained from the pool, about 685,000 USD, due to the outdated server-side signature mechanism. The amount isn’t large, but the old protocol managing the custody pool is like this—when something happens, it’s a total mess. The sell-off orders are piled up at the door, either triggering a wave of accelerated decline or grinding into a bottom. I’m betting on the latter. Integer thresholds like 80,000 are always ground out, not broken through. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 agree with this article; it is indeed the case. The details of the capital flow in the past two days are worth pondering: short-term money is indeed flowing back, but the way it moves is very sneaky. BTC spot inflow reached 111 million in four hours, and 179 million in a day, but contracts still saw an outflow of over 90 million in a day, and 7.83 billion over thirty days without turning back. Simply put, someone is buying spot, but the big leveraged money hasn't acknowledged it yet. A $30 million financing round has changed the fundamental nature of the AI chip business. Hyperbolic completed its A-1 round, led by Walden Catalyst. This firm was co-founded by Chen Liwu and former Samsung president Young Sohn, with participation from Dell Capital and General Catalyst. Semiconductor veterans and AI funds are investing simultaneously, not in matchmaking software, but in the position of "who intermediates AI chips and computing power." When industrial capital comes in, the first thing it provides is not money, but conditions. They are familiar with the sensitivity of chip regulations, and from the investment decision stage, clauses on cross-border compliance and controllability of technology exports are incorporated. The bottlenecks are two old issues. First, export controls: platforms that facilitate cross-border sales or leasing must answer who the end user is, which data center the deployment is in, and whether there is any re-export. Simply acting as an information intermediary without controlling the flow of goods will collide with sanction lists. Second, financial boundaries. Pure matchmaking and "matchmaking + settlement" are two different things in terms of regulation. Once you advance funds for both buyers and sellers, unify clearing and settlement, and add tokenized incentives, under the current enforcement environment for DePIN, it is easy to be held accountable for unregistered securities issuance. This is also the problem that $TAO and $RENDER have to face. The demand for computing power is real, but whether funds are willing to give a valuation depends on whether the compliance path can be clearly explained.Just now, this message might be more worth paying attention to than a certain token's surge. BlackRock, SBI, and Startale have joined forces to study connecting tokenized money market funds with the yen stablecoin JPYSC. This means that future on-chain finance might not just involve buying coins with USDT, but will try to create a more direct link between stablecoins and traditional financial assets. Imagine a scenario: a company holding on-chain yen needs to allocate short-term cash management assets, and it doesn't have to go back to the traditional financial system at every step; fund shares and payment funds could connect within the same digital process. But don't rush to think of this as a product already launched. The three parties have currently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and are still researching technical, distribution, and regulatory issues, with no specific fund, launch date, or complete trading mechanism announced yet. I believe the real highlight of this news is not "BlackRock is on-chain again," but that financial institutions are seriously studying whether stablecoins can become the cash layer of on-chain assets. If assets can be tokenized and payments can be stablecoin-based, the next challenge is to enable safe settlement, redemption, and liquidity between the two. The next step for Web3 might not be creating more assets, but making existing assets truly flow. #SK海力士Q3营收首破100万亿韩元 Currently, the only worthwhile investment targets left are google-no, hood is down, sandisk-yes, sandisk was unfairly punished, calculated on a non-GAAP basis, by this standard SK Hynix exceeded expectations, hood fell 8 points pre-market, currently no is still only 70, it can be considered as giving money away All three current positions are showing gains across the board. ETH short positions have an unrealized profit of 37.90%, BTC shorts have gained 18.77%, and BNB longs contributed 9.84%, resulting in a solid overall profit buffer. ETH mark price is 2,353.61, yielding the most substantial profits. Since October, spot ETFs have seen a cumulative net outflow exceeding $1 billion, maintaining redemption pressure and giving bears the upper hand. BTC mark price is 80,895.68, with dense chip accumulation between 81,000 and 82,500; the 81,300 level has flipped from support to resistance after breaking down, with shorts positioned just below this ceiling. BNB mark price is 734.7, with longs steadily following the upward trend. The quarterly burn removed tokens worth approximately $119.7 million, combined with CZ's narrative of BNB Chain as an AI-native currency, providing strong bottom support. Stop-loss levels for all three positions have been raised to lock in profits; before the FOMC announcement, only defensive moves will be made without actively increasing exposure. ETH: From October 1 to 22, spot ETFs recorded a cumulative net outflow exceeding $1 billion; exchanges saw a single-day net outflow of about 169,800 ETH during the same period, the largest in nearly four months. BTC: A large amount of historical chips accumulated between $81,000 and $82,500; the $81,300 level has turned from support to resistance, and without spot buying to absorb, rebound resistance is significant. BNB: The 37th quarterly burn permanently removed 1.6462 million BNB (about $1.197 billion), reducing total supply to approximately 131.5 million; CZ is pushing BNB Chain to become an AI-native currency network.*🛢️ Hormuz in CHAOS - Oil $113, BTC at RISK!* STRAIT COLLAPSING Oil flow: 14M barrels = only 82% pre-war Ships: 20/day → 10/day 30 attacks this month = 20% of entire war Freight: $37.37/barrel RECORD Insurance: 3% → 10% 🔥 BTC HISTORY: Falls first, then PUMPS 2022 Russia: -8% → +14% in 4 days 2023 Hamas: -6% → +40% in 30 days 2025 India-Pak: -3% → recovered next day Feb 2026 US/Iran: -6% → +17% Iran says Hormuz "will never be same" BTC bounce = oil flow.

Conclusion first: Most likely no rate hike tonight, but definitely a hawkish pause, with over a 70% chance of another hike in December. Baseline scenario (no change + hawkish remarks): Most likely all bad news is priced in, market has already priced it in, so volatility won't be too high, and Bitcoin will likely continue its current consolidation rhythm. Unexpected rate hike: A low-probability black swan event, risk assets will collectively come under pressure, and Bitcoin will likely dip. Unexpected dovish stance: Almost impossible, with inflation as it is, dovish stance would mean all previous efforts wasted. Don't hold heavy positions tonight, wait for the outcome before making moves. Focus on what Waller says about the December path and the latest judgments on inflation and employment. If a clear signal for a December hike is given, the short-term outlook is bearish; if ambiguous and leaving room, that's bullish. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 Bitcoin has pulled back from $84,000 and is once again testing the psychological $80,000 level. The big question now is whether buyers can defend this key zone or if more downside is coming. Meanwhile, Asian tech stocks are moving higher, while crypto markets remain cautious. With the Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting underway, traders are waiting for Wednesday’s decision and clearer signals on the future path of interest rates. 📉 Market sentiment remains cautious. Volatility is tightening, andStandard Chartered just cut BTC's year-end target price from 150,000 to 100,000, Bernstein cut it to 125,000, while Citi actually raised it to 113,000. Each of the three is more pessimistic than the last, with one bullish voice in the middle—this combination is quite interesting. I checked the market; BTC on OKX is hovering around 80,900 now, with a 24-hour low of 79,500 and a high of 81,300. After dropping below 80,000, it climbed back a bit, so sentiment is barely holding steady. As for target prices, I stopped using them as entry criteria a long time ago. When the price was 150,000, they shouted 150,000; now at 80,000, they start shouting 100,000—always half a step behind the price. Last time I bottomed out following a certain report and set a stop loss below, it got hit hard. Since then, I only pay attention to when they change their stance, not the numbers. If I had to pick a side, I stand with Citi—not because it's optimistic, but because 113,000 is the number closest to what the market is willing to pay now. Standard Chartered cuts the most aggressively and is often the first to give up. When the day comes that they stop mentioning target prices altogether, that will be the real bottom for this cycle. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 In April 2025, the "Liberation Day Tariff" triggered a sharp plunge in the crypto market, with $BTC dropping to $74,000 at one point and $ETH hitting $1,384. By 2026, BTC bottomed out at $57,800, setting a new low; however, ETH only fell to $1,504 and did not break down in sync. Behind this divergence in trends, there may be funding reasons: during the bear market, MicroStrategy was no longer able to continue increasing its BTC holdings and might even have turned to selling; BMNR, on the other hand, kept borrowing to buy ETH, with its holdings reaching 5% of the total ETH supply. The continuous buying pressure supported ETH, making its decline appear shallower. But this is a double-edged sword. BMNR has yet to face a truly deep bear market test. ETH’s drop to $1,504 this time was relatively mild; if extreme events similar to the crashes on March 12, May 19, or the chain of collapses in 2022 occur, can it hold up? Some say BMNR borrows without rushing to repay and has ample cash. Yet financial history repeatedly proves: if borrowing money to buy coins guaranteed wealth, why have leveraged funds rarely survived for centuries? Debt must eventually be repaid. Unless one can time entries and exits perfectly every time, leveraged players will always face their darkest moments. Spot trading is a friend of time, while leverage stands opposed to it; steady accumulation is more likely to endure. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ $PEPE's largest individual holding has moved again. I've been watching this for a while and still stick to the old saying: on-chain transfers speak louder than the person themselves. An address that had been dormant for over a year suddenly moved 1.45 trillion tokens to a new address in one go. Before the move, it held over 4 trillion. Meanwhile, the news is still shouting about increased holdings being bullish, but the price hasn't followed suit, only rising 9.7% in 24 hours with volume just 1.2 times the usual — think about it, this volume doesn't match the news, new money simply hasn't come in. $PEPE Today, October 28, the market will face two important policy decisions: the Bank of Canada will announce its interest rate decision and monetary policy report, and the Federal Reserve will announce its interest rate decision and hold a press conference. Ajian will directly guide everyone through a quick framework for judgment and position suggestions: First, you need to know that the market is not only focused on whether the interest rate changes this time; in fact, most of it has already been anticipated and priced in. The main focus is still on the assessment of inflation, economic growth, and the future policy path. Because even if the central bank keeps the interest rate unchanged, if the statement or press conference releases stronger inflation concerns, the market may still reprice the future rate cut space, and crypto assets will directly come under pressure; conversely, even if there is no immediate rate cut, as long as the policy guidance is more moderate than the market expects, it may also ease the pressure on risk assets 2. Core Variable: The Federal Reserve Decision Is the Biggest Short-Term Game Changer The Federal Reserve interest rate decision will be announced tonight. The market generally expects the benchmark rate to remain unchanged at 4%, but recent inflation has been sticky, coupled with Middle East turmoil pushing up oil prices. Investors are highly alert to the Fed signaling a hawkish stance, hinting at a rate hike restart in December. In a high interest rate environment, interest-bearing assets become more attractive, which directly suppresses the valuation of high-volatility risk assets like BTC. With the U.S. midterm elections approaching on November 3, global risk asset caution is clearly rising. The market widely expects BTC to experience a 10%-15% significant fluctuation around the decision. 3. Funding: Institutional Actions Diverge, Buying Demand Temporarily Vacant - The U.S. BTC spot ETF still recorded a net inflow of about $442 million this week, but there was a large single-day outflow of $635 million in between, showing significant capital divergence. - The world's largest corporate holder, Strategy, has paused its continuous BTC accumulation and instead used $205 million in cash to repurchase preferred shares. This force, long regarded by the market as a core buyer, is temporarily out, further weakening short-term upward momentum. - Downside protection demand in the options market has surged sharply. The DVol volatility index on the Deribit platform rose to 38, with implied volatility of put options significantly higher than call options, indicating institutions are hedging against downside risk in advance.#ETF仍在流入，BTC为何下跌？ On October 28, 2026, at 14:33, BTC is currently quoted at about $81,138, with a 24-hour increase of 1.43%, a total market capitalization of $1.63 trillion, overall in a volume-price divergence observation state under a key macro window. The core situation can be analyzed from four dimensions: 1. Short-term market: The dividing line between bulls and bears is right ahead Currently, BTC is oscillating narrowly in the $80,000-$82,000 range, just rebounded from the recent low of $79,416, but there is a clear volume-price divergence: total market trading volume has sharply shrunk by 11% compared to the previous day, derivatives market 24-hour trading volume has dropped by 20.27%, yet open interest contracts have increased by 8.27% to $347.19 billion, indicating that funds are betting on imminent events, but actual trading willingness is very low. - Key resistance upwards: $81,000-$82,500. If effectively broken through, it is expected to quickly test $85,000, $87,500, and even challenge the $95,000-$98,000 range - Core support downwards: $78,500-$79,500. If buying in this area is insufficient, the next decisive level is $75,500. Once broken, the bullish structure established since the summer low will be destroyed, opening up deeper correction space October's decision to hold steady was almost a foregone conclusion, but the real knife is hidden in Waller's wording — the probability of a rate hike in December has soared to 84%. $BTC: $80,920. Risk was "reduced" ahead of the meeting, briefly dropping below 80,000 to $79,800. The $80,000-$81,500 range is the cost basis for ETF holders and treasury companies, forming the first psychological support wall; above $82,000 is the previous resistance turned support level, and without a volume breakout, any rebound is just a correction, not a reversal. $ETH: $2,353. $2,400 is the key intraday round number and also the previous top-to-bottom conversion level. ETH ETFs have seen net outflows for the fourth consecutive week, totaling $220.7 million. Staking yields lack appeal in a high risk-free rate environment, casting doubt on the sustainability of the rebound. $SOL: $102. $100 is a barely held defensive line, pressured before the meeting. Historical data shows that after the September rate hike, SOL rebounded 18.7% within 7 days, showing much greater elasticity than BTC and ETH — but the premise is "uncertainty eliminated," not "uncertainty escalated." Summary: The decision itself will not bring direction. Any hint from Waller at the press conference about a December rate hike is the real variable determining whether BTC can hold $80,000 and SOL can hold $100. Holding steady is known; the wording is unknown. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 Can the recovery of macro risk appetite drive a re-pricing of the payment narrative for $XRP? On Tuesday, US stocks strengthened under the boost of AI, but interest rate uncertainty remains ahead of the meeting; if risk appetite spreads, cross-border payment assets may gain more attention. On the downside, the macro rebound may not translate into real network demand; if on-chain transfers and liquidity do not improve simultaneously, I would consider the market movement as sentiment-driven.$CORE still has mindless people saying core is the successor to Bitcoin. Bitcoin's last coin will only be mined in 2140, but core will be exhausted by 2104 according to 81 years. Can't understand who the real fool is, fooling the mindless uncles and aunties out there Broadcom rose 4% in one day, but a large part of the risk for this $63 billion financing falls on itself The $63 billion AI chip financing deal was announced, and Broadcom surged 4% in a single day, closing at $342.33. However, this money is not from Anthropic, nor is it currently Broadcom's revenue. The structure involves BofA, Citi, and Morgan Stanley arranging the first-lien debt, Blackstone providing the second-lien debt, and a newly established SPV purchasing Broadcom's accelerators and networking equipment to lease to Anthropic, with deliveries starting in 2027. The most intriguing part is that Broadcom provides residual value support for this debt, amounting to roughly the first-lien debt, Reuters citing insiders at about $43.5 billion. Simply put: if the equipment depreciates in the future, Broadcom must absorb the loss first. Do you think suppliers backing customers is proof of AI demand, or is the risk being shifted onto the suppliers' balance sheets? $AVGO $BAC $C $MS $BX$UNITREE No matter how much it rises, you still have to short the toy factory; it's just overvalued. The key point of this wave of $UNITREE's market is no longer whether the robot has a future prospect, but how much the current high stock price has already overdrawn future expectations. First, valuation pressure is increasing. As of October 26, $UNITREE Technology's stock price rose 7.69% in a single day, with a market value returning to about ¥271.8 billion, and a trailing P/E ratio reaching 465.22 times, far exceeding the average level of the general equipment manufacturing industry. The company also previously warned in announcements that the robotics industry is still in the early stage of commercialization, and future performance realization is uncertain. Second, the more aggressively funds chase the rise, the more the risk of pullback cannot be ignored. The stock price has rebounded continuously since October 16, rising about 65.89% over 7 trading days. Such rapid surge easily accumulates short-term profit-taking; once subsequent buying cannot keep up, profit-taking by funds may amplify the correction. It is important here to observe trading volume, support after the peak, and whether funds continue to flow in during the rebound. Third, positive news does not equal immediate performance realization. $UNITREE has attention in robotics technology and products, but from product display to large-scale commercialization, it still requires continuous order growth, customer repurchase, and profitability to be jointly verified. The company also clearly warns that if commercialization falls short of expectations, it may face valuation reversion risk.Calculating, $176.4 million divided by 175.7 million tokens, the average reserve per token is about $1.004. When I saw this number, my first reaction was not "stable," but to first check: how can ordinary holders redeem this reserve? ① According to the reserve amount and circulating tokens, the book balance is about 0.4%. This can explain the coverage at the report date, but I wouldn’t treat this small balance as insurance against all risks. ② The 175.7 million tokens in the report are listed as redeemable USAT. The terms only allow approved clients to mint or redeem directly; other holders usually have to go through exchanges or the secondary market. For me, having asset coverage and having direct exit options are two different matters. ③ The reserve report date is August 31, which is 57 days before October 27. It is a historical snapshot and cannot directly replace today’s reserve assessment; the rest of the facts summarized: Anchorage issues independently, Tether provides support but is not responsible for redemption or guarantees, USAT and USDT have different legal arrangements, the GENIUS Act application process has not started, and no public materials show USAT has been licensed. My judgment is that these numbers carry weight but are insufficient alone to support ordinary users’ sense of security. If secondary market support weakens, holders who cannot redeem directly may be more affected by liquidity — this is my speculation. I will next look at redemption qualifications and exit conditions alongside reserve coverage.In the early stages of a BTC bull market, it is often when the market's "panic narratives" are most intense. Looking back at 2020, the OKX withdrawal incident triggered panic, with off-exchange USDT dropping to around 4.5, forcing many to cut losses and exit, yet the market soon saw a strong rally. Looking at 2023, crypto-friendly banks encountered consecutive troubles, and BTC fell from around $25,000 to $19,000, with the whole network shouting $15,000, but ironically, the peak of panic was close to a phase bottom. And now? AI bubble, US stock market crash, interest rate hike expectations, midterm elections... a series of negative factors emerge one after another, and market sentiment is once again shrouded in fear. History does not simply repeat itself, but human nature remains similar. The harshest part of the early bull market is not the lack of opportunities, but that before opportunities arrive, the market is always filled with various pessimistic narratives. When everyone is panicking, rather than blindly following emotions, one should calmly examine the market structure and key supports. What truly deserves attention is not how many negative factors there are, but whether the market still cannot fall further despite the continuous fermentation of negative factors. $BTC $ETH #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 $XRP Franklin's fund size on XRPL surged 4 times, yet $XRP actually dropped 13.4%. Many retail investors are still foolishly waiting for institutional buying, but they issued sgBENJI, which has nothing to do with $XRP spot. Road repairs and price increases are completely different matters. The on-chain activity is lively, but lacking spot buying support, the market will most likely continue to seek a bottom. #XRP $XRP 👇AI companies are busy going public, while CZ is pondering another matter: AI working on its own, where the money comes from, and how it gets paid. On October 26, Anthropic filed IPO registration documents under the ticker ANT, planning to list on Nasdaq. Revenue in the first half of the year was about $16.286 billion, compared to $1.163 billion in the same period last year. Net loss was $80.748 billion, mostly due to non-cash valuation changes of convertible notes. On the same day, after ringing the bell at BNB Standard, CZ gave his judgment: cryptocurrency could become the native currency for AI. This company was formerly CEA Industries, holding 515,000 BNB, worth about $383.5 million. The scenario he envisions is specific: AI agents call models, buy data, rent computing power, with service providers scattered across countries. Each transaction requires manual confirmation and card binding, breaking automation. Wallets plus smart contracts plus stablecoins would allow machines to pay themselves per task, with assets possibly in BTC, stablecoins, or even tokens issued by AI companies. But he said that using crypto for daily expenses is currently inconvenient. Entrepreneurs shouldn’t rush to compete with Apple Pay; instead, they should first target markets where cross-border remittance is expensive and traditional payment coverage is poor. AI revenue surging doesn’t mean it will settle on blockchain. What really matters is whether high-frequency, small payments will go on-chain. Mainstream services use credit cards, so no matter how hot AI gets, it won’t drive $BNB usage.$XRP on-chain whales just dumped over 100 million XRP, but the market didn't even flinch. The ETF has only been live for a month and its scale has already broken $100 million. Institutions are wide open underneath, swallowing all the dumped coins whole, forcing the price to bounce hard from 1.25 back up to 1.35. In the past, when big holders dumped, retail investors would panic sell, but now if these old whales sell all their holdings, when the real rally kicks in later, they might have to chase the price higher themselves. #XRP $XRP 👇$BEAT The real big money among the bulls is actually all buried alive at the peak! Don't be fooled by the surface showing 86.8% of bulls making money; looking deeper at the leaderboard, those profiting are just retail traders with small orders of one or two hundred U. The real heavy hitters are the large group of anonymous bulls underwater, holding a combined heavy position of over 1.5 million U, averaging an entry price of 0.124, and currently still at a loss of 240,000 U on the books. As soon as the market rebounds slightly, the first reaction of these trapped big holders is to rush to sell and break even. Whatever price surge happens, they will hammer it down mercilessly. With big money waiting to escape overhead pressure, smart money has already started shorting around the current price. Just follow the shorts and you're set!BTC is approaching 81,000, this rally is mainly driven by renewed AI expectations and short covering, rather than spot buying continuation. There is about 870,000 BTC selling pressure accumulated in the 81,000-82,500 range above, and the quality of capital continuation is facing a major test. $BTC is quoted at 80,944.9 (+0.51%). Daily ETF inflows exceed 110 million, fully supported by IBIT. 81,300 USD is a key previous defense line; if it cannot break through with volume, it is likely to become a false breakout. $ETH is quoted at 2,354.58 (+0.37%). Nearly 36% of ETH is staked and locked, but spot ETFs saw a net outflow of nearly 90 million in one day. Long-term chips are locked, short-term institutions are exiting, lacking an independent strength foundation. $SOL is quoted at 102.08 (+1.17%). Although it has slightly rebounded, SOL ETFs have had net outflows for two consecutive weeks this month, and Meme trading activity has sharply declined. Under BTC's dominance, high-beta altcoins are temporarily neglected. Summary This rally is driven by sentiment recovery and short covering; capital has only continued with BTC, not spilling over to altcoins. Waiting for the Fed decision to land, watching if BTC can break through 81,300 with volume is the moment to confirm a "real continuation". #BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ After reading this message, I feel that the USAT story has reached a point where the division of roles is clarified: Anchorage independently issues it, Tether provides technical, branding, strategic, and distribution support, but is not the issuer and has no redemption or guarantee obligations. The report on August 31 shows about 175.7 million redeemable USAT, corresponding to approximately $176.4 million in reserves. My judgment is that the most important aspect of this message is not that the reserves slightly exceed the circulating supply, but that it puts "who is responsible" front and center. A familiar brand can bring trust, but USAT and USDT have different issuers and legal arrangements, so trust cannot be directly transferred. For ordinary holders, there is another hurdle: only approved clients can directly mint or redeem; others usually have to go through exchanges or the secondary market. I consider this very important because whether the reserves are sufficient is one thing, but whether you can directly redeem yourself is another. The regulatory process is also not complete. As of October 27, the OCC has not yet initiated the application process, and public materials do not show that USAT has obtained issuance approval under the GENIUS Act. If the market treats the rule issuance as product approval, I speculate that this expectation is ahead of the facts. The reminder this story gives me is that the confidence in stablecoins must be found along the lines of responsibility and redemption paths. I will be watching the actual approval progress closely, rather than writing its ending prematurely.First consider the worst-case scenario: if the issuer goes bankrupt, can the money still be smoothly recovered? My habit in risk control is to ask this question first. Moody's has assigned A2 and P-1 deposit ratings to RLUSD under Ripple, covering native RLUSD on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. My judgment is that this news is more significant for risk identification than for stimulating trading sentiment. The rating weighs both the reserve protection measures and the risk exposure of holders in the event of issuer bankruptcy: having reserve protection does not mean there is no uncertainty in bankruptcy proceedings; if redemption is blocked, those urgently needing funds may face liquidity pressure, which is my stress scenario. Ordinary people might as well do a check on the use of funds: assuming you temporarily cannot withdraw, will it affect your living expenses? Don't just focus on the rating letters. When dealing with rated stablecoins like RLUSD, how much stop loss do you generally set for a single transaction?After lunch, I studied Robinhood's Q3 earnings report. How to put it? It was unexpected yet predictable. The company's overall revenue hit a record $1.42B, but crypto revenue was only $120M, and nominal crypto trading volume dropped 38% to about $50B. Crypto is no longer RH's strongest growth engine; options, stocks, and event contracts are diverting user attention. In a way, this also reflects the overall market situation—retail traders' trading enthusiasm is shifting, and improved risk appetite doesn't necessarily mean users are buying crypto. Also, there's an interesting data point: the report shows about 200,000 customers opened Agentic Trading Accounts, with related nominal trading volume exceeding $1.6B. Considering Binance's recent hot agentic wallet, the trend of automated trading is unstoppable, friends. Don't get hung up on $HOOD's price fluctuations; go have fun with your wallet #RobinhoodQ3营收增长，净利润下降 After breaking down the competition into four layers, which market is ONDO ultimately competing in? 1/ When discussing ONDO's competitors, common answers are "BlackRock, Circle, Robinhood." But these names appear at different levels, and putting them all in the same table for comparison actually confuses the issue. This time, the competition is broken down into four layers: Treasury layer, Stock layer, Distribution layer, Settlement and Collateral layer. After breaking it down, it becomes clear that ONDO's real competitors may not be within the crypto circle. 2/ First layer: Tokenized Treasuries — evenly matched, but different customers As of September 23, the total size of tokenized treasury funds is about $14.9 billion, covering 108 products. The top three single tokens are very close: Circle's USYC about $2.5 billion, Ondo's USDY about $2.27 billion, BlackRock's BUIDL about $2.23 billion. Data from early October shows the gap among the top three has narrowed to about $150 million. More noteworthy is the holder structure: on the same day, USDY had about 18,000 holders, BUIDL only 107, USYC only 36. BUIDL's minimum subscription is $5 million, USYC starts from 100,000 USDC and targets non-US entities. Ondo's USDY is more like a "channel outside wholesale" for retail and small to medium institutions, not entirely competing for the same batch of customers as BUIDL. 3/ Second layer: Tokenized Stocks — leading, but the meaning of "stocks" is diverging The I personally hold SKHY. When the earnings report came out this morning, the first thing I looked at wasn't revenue but why net profit didn't keep up. Revenue was 104.6 trillion, operating profit 83.33 trillion, both indeed beating consensus and setting records. But net profit was 39.78 trillion, below the expected 61.29 trillion. To put it plainly, it's not that operations lagged; the Q2 base included a one-time gain from Kioxia, so a sequential drop is normal. Shareholder returns are truly materializing: Q3 dividends of 14 trillion, plus 20 trillion in buybacks, with a per-share price of 20,000 KRW. Half of that is the Kioxia gain being returned, which I like~ HBM4 is expected to surpass HBM3E in Q4, both in volume and revenue, officially becoming the mainstay. Long-term contracts with 14 major customers have already booked over half of the capacity for 2027 and 2028, so order visibility is definitely solid. Of course, there are some concerns: right after the earnings call, the CFO clarified the net profit issue: it's not the core business underperforming, but non-operating losses totaling 32.63 trillion, mainly 11.63 trillion from exchange rate losses and 22.92 trillion from investment asset valuation losses. The CEO added that the special dividend is not a one-time event; in the future, profits from strategic investments will mostly be distributed to shareholders. DRAM shipments are expected to increase by more than 20% in Q4, with HBM4 officially becoming the main driver. The company sees the shortage lasting until 2030. Investments will also increase significantly next year, with Yongin Phase 1 fully operational.#AAOIQ3800GOutlook Applied Optoelectronics ($AAOI): Facing valuation tests after consecutive sell-offs as capex doubts swirl. #LumentumQ1OpticalGrowth Broad Market Focus (AI Optics & Infrastructure) AI capex remains a massive talking point heading into earnings season. The spotlight is firmly on fiber optics and AI infrastructure: • Lumentum ($LITE): Strong optical demand pushing capacity limits. $SOL Climbed from 99.11 to 102.39, only moving 3.28 points, with 3.69 million units traded. The last 0.37 points were the most expensive: at 11:00, 308,000 units were bought to push it up to close at 101.98; at 12:00, another 199,000 units were bought, resulting in a doji candle. The next three candles are even more interesting — 199,000 → 115,000 → 46,000 units, volume dropped by 85%, but the price bounced from 101.77 back to 102.06, just about three cents below 102.39. This is not a buildup. No one is willing to pay more here, and no one is in a hurry to sell. Current price 102.06 / 24h +2.24% / MA20 101.18, standing 0.88 above the line. Break 102.39 (1H volume ≥ 350,000) → pullback to 102.0~102.1 for long positions, stop loss at 101.55, target 103.30 with odds 2.5, extension to 104.0 with odds 3.9. Break 101.66 (1H volume ≥ 200,000) → short on rebound at 101.85~101.95, stop loss at 102.45, target 100.10 with odds 3.3, if broken look for 99.11 with odds 5.1. No trades in the middle range. (Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)#OkloQ3NuclearOutlook OKLO remains fundamentally pre-revenue, but institutional capital continues utilizing it as an infrastructure proxy for tech-adjacent power demands. Momentum persists as long as the forward commercial construction timeline remains clean. ETF money has shifted from "rushing out" to "tentative inflow" Looking at ETF fund flows, this is the most divisive part. On October 22, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net outflow of $635.5 million, the largest single-day outflow since June 2025. On October 23, another $137.9 million flowed out, totaling $773.4 million over two days. Then what? On October 26, IBIT had a single-day net inflow of $110.3 million, ending the two-day outflow streak. On October 27, IBIT again contributed all the net inflow, about $110 million. Last week (October 20 to 26), Bitcoin ETFs had an overall net inflow of about $443 million, reversing the net outflow from the previous week. Do you understand this rhythm? First run, then return. This is a shakeout, not a retreat. But there is one detail you must see clearly: Monday's rebound had net inflows entirely concentrated in the IBIT fund, while other ETFs had zero inflow or outflow. This means the "breadth" of new demand remains questionable. If funds cannot spread from IBIT to other funds like Fidelity and Ark, the "spot foundation" of this rebound is fragile. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 This Friday afternoon, a large batch of Bitcoin options will expire. At the current price, most of the bullish bets will become worthless 🎲 According to data compiled by Base Camp from Deribit and OKX: about 144,000 Bitcoin options will settle at 16:00 on October 30 (Beijing time), with a notional value close to $12 billion, of which about 8,217 are on OKX. The "max pain" point is at $78,000, but the total payout difference for buyers between $75,000 and $81,000 is less than $9 million, resembling more of a depression than a magnet. The largest positions are all bullish: three levels at $95,000, $100,000, and $90,000. Bullish options at $90,000 and above total about 58,800 contracts, accounting for two-thirds of all bullish options. At the time of writing, only about 14% of these bullish options are in the money. On Deribit, $ETH options expiring the same day are worth about $764 million, with a pain point at $2,500. At 14:04 today (Beijing time), OKX spot $BTC is about 80,916 USDT. My understanding: before settlement, the focus should be on the interest rate decision early tomorrow morning rather than the pain point numbers. High-level bullish options will most likely expire worthless and be hedged off after settlement, allowing the price to "freely" reset. Will you reduce leverage during the settlement week or continue as usual? This is my personal opinion and does not constitute investment adviceWhat the Federal Reserve lacks most now is not data, but a unified statement. Since Powell became chairman, he has strongly promoted "silence is virtue," deliberately limiting his public speeches since taking office, wanting the market to focus only on data and not on officials' statements. However, he failed to convince his colleagues. Sixteen officials who have served for a year gave a total of 59 speeches, interviews, and public statements between the two meetings, almost the same as the 54 during the same period last year—while the chairman kept quiet, his colleagues filled the gap; as long as they want to speak, the microphone is there. The consequence is very direct. After the last meeting, the market read from Powell's press conference that "rate hikes will continue," with the probability of a rate hike in October once reaching 70%; two vice chairmen then came out saying "no rush to act," and the probability dropped to 15% within a month. Expectations were not overturned by data but by insiders themselves. Waller's metaphor is very accurate: this is "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." Cutting forward guidance promises is acceptable, but cutting the explanation of "how to respond to economic changes" as well leaves the market guessing, and what it guesses is just noise. The disagreement is not only about communication methods. Some think monetary policy is clearly too loose, while others see this round of rate hikes merely as insurance against inflation expectations; the committee cannot even tell a coherent story. For assets like $BTC and $ETH, which are most sensitive to interest rates, the problem is not whether to raise rates or not, but that no one can provide a stable narrative. When the narrative falls apart, volatility speaks for it. The working group will submit recommendations by the end of the year, but until then, don't expect the Federal Reserve to provide direction.The buyers of the rise and the buyers of the fall are the same group of people $BTC touched 80,823, just 14 dollars short of 80,837 and couldn't go higher. The ratio of call options to put options is 2.6, heavily favoring calls. But the price difference on both sides was raised to 13, indicating the same group is also buying puts. How this number is calculated: more call orders, but puts are more expensive. Willing to pay more for downside protection means no confidence in this rebound. In plain language: they talk bullish but bet bearish. The next step down is: $BTC eyes 80,400, $ETH eyes 2,340. If these two numbers break down, the next levels are 79,505 and 2,312. Prices haven't moved yet, but protection fees have already risen. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ #$BTC $ETH Hundreds of millions at stake!

Each of the three is more pessimistic than the last, with one bullish voice in the middle—quite an interesting mix. I checked the market; BTC on OKX is hovering around 80,900 now, with a 24-hour low of 79,500 and a high of 81,300. After dropping below 80,000, it climbed back a bit, so sentiment is barely holding steady. As for target prices, I stopped using them as entry criteria long ago. When the price was 150,000, they called for 150,000; at 80,000, they started calling for 100,000—always half a step behind the price. Last time I bought based on a certain report, my stop loss was hit hard below, wiping me out. Since then, I only pay attention to when they change their stance, not the numbers. If I had to pick a side, I stand with Citi—not because it's optimistic, but because 113,000 is the number closest to what the market is willing to pay now. Standard Chartered cuts the hardest and is often the first to admit defeat. When the day comes that they stop mentioning target prices altogether, then this cycle will truly be over. #10月FOMC利率决议即将公布 I agree with this article; it is indeed the case. The details of the capital flow in the past two days are worth pondering: short-term money is indeed flowing back, but the way it moves is very sneaky. BTC spot inflow reached 111 million in four hours, and 179 million in a day, but contracts still saw an outflow of over 90 million in a day, and 7.83 billion over thirty days without turning back. Simply put, someone is buying spot, but the big leveraged money hasn't acknowledged it yet. ETH is the opposite: leverage surged first—contract inflow was 221 million in four hours, 185 million in a day, showing the most active replenishment. But over thirty days, spot outflow was 3.77 billion and contracts outflow was 8.29 billion, leaving a big gap. Before the decision is finalized, leverage is being grabbed, betting that tonight's wording will soften; if wrong, this batch of bulls will be the first to get hit. I actually find SOL's structure the most straightforward: spot inflow was 23.7 million in a day, with consistent buyers, while contracts are still withdrawing, with 2.17 billion outflow over thirty days. A rebound not relying on leverage but on solid fundamentals is more robust than one built on contracts. ZEC remains the playground for hot money, with the most aggressive position increases and the most restless sentiment. This kind of money comes fast and goes fast; I just watch the show and don't join. The calendar is still packed: Thursday night GDP and PCE will be released, with one variable after another. My view: tonight's inflow looks more like a pre-decision positioning rather than a trend ticket. Wait for the decision and press conference to land, then see if the four-hour inflow can continue and if BTC contracts can turn positive. Only if it continues can it be considered a real recovery; if not, the rebound is just for you to reduce positions, don't mistake replenishment for a reversal to chase 🎯When I saw this message, what popped into my mind wasn't "Can we still push?" but rather: Is the story of small-cap coins going to be even harder to tell from now on? This is somewhat interesting, but I'll first temper my expectations for the hype.👀 According to DefiLlama data, the total DEX trading volume across the network in the past 24 hours was about $7.446 billion, down 11.3% from the previous day and down 17.1% from a week ago. The top trading volumes were from Uniswap V4, Uniswap V3, and PancakeSwap AMM V3. My judgment is that this set of data is somewhat unfavorable for sentiment diffusion around small-cap coins, but it cannot be used to conclude that all sectors have no opportunities. The day-over-day and week-over-week declines indicate that overall trading enthusiasm is lower compared to these two references; however, trading volume itself does not distinguish between active buying, selling, or position switching, so it cannot be directly interpreted as capital outflow. Opportunities in highly volatile assets often lie in differentiation. My speculation is that if a certain sector can still continuously attract trading during an overall volume contraction, it might be more likely to gain attention; but if the hype is supported only by a few trades, price volatility might disguise "attention" as "consensus." I will treat the total volume as background and then look at whether sector trading is continuous and participation concentrated, rather than getting excited by a single volume spike. What on-chain sectors have you been paying attention to recently? Facing DEX volume contraction, do you prioritize observing its active addresses or the continuity of trading?SK Hynix's financial report is quite interesting, and there are also industry trends here ┈➤ The market's focus remains on the trend of actual performance Interestingly, the Q2 financial report's net profit and EPS exceeded expectations, but the actual performance was not ideal, so the stock price fell. In contrast, the Q3 financial report's net profit and EPS missed expectations, but the actual performance was good, and the stock price rose. Q2's operating revenue missed expectations; the net profit growth came from the depreciation of the Korean won and a large sale of idle assets. Q3 operating revenue and operating profit grew well, but net profit declined due to the appreciation of the Korean won. It is speculated that the Q2 EPS beat was a consolation for shareholders from SK Hynix, while Q3 did not need such a consolation. Brother Feng lost the prediction but won the stock price, $SKHY average holding cost is $138. ┈➤ SK Hynix's performance and the storage supply-demand trend SK Hynix's operating revenue and operating profit are still in an accelerating growth trend. However, the growth rate of operating profit is lower than that of operating revenue. Therefore, although the operating profit margin and gross margin are still on a growth trend, there is a trend of slowing growth in 26Q2. This may reflect the supply-demand trend of AI storage, which is still in a state of undersupply, but for now, the gap may be narrowing. Further observation of Q4 data is needed. Looking only at SK Hynix's financial data, AI storage still has room for growth. Let's check SanDisk later. The hand-drawn charts are ugly, please bear with them.Volatility compressed to the lowest point since 2026, these three days will give it back​ First, look at a neglected reading: Bitcoin's 7-day realized volatility is approaching a multi-year low, DVOL around 37, Bollinger Band width compressed to about 6.5% of price. K33 attributes this calm to collective wait-and-see before events. Blockchain Academics Calm comes at a cost. The next 72 hours are packed with three events: FOMC statement at 2 AM Beijing time tomorrow (market 90% priced in to hold at 3.75%–4.00%); September PCE and Q3 GDP tomorrow night; October 30 Deribit options expiration of about $11 billion, with max pain around 78,000. Today's BTC fluctuated between 79,700–80,300, briefly dipping below 80,000, with no breakout or reversal. What really matters is not the rate itself, but the wording. The market has fully priced in "no rate hike," so a "hawkish pause" is the biggest risk—if the statement hints at a December hike (currently about 73% probability), even if no move this time, prices will first drop as a warning. Conversely, if the wording softens and PCE is below expectations, the compressed volatility will release upward all at once. This judgment is supported by funding data: Coinbase premium continuously negative, put skew turning positive, leverage not fully cleared—the market is already paying for a "hawkish pause." The weekend drop to 79,146 triggered over $800 million liquidations, but the rebound was weak, indicating buyers are also waiting. Technical levels: support at 79,800 / 77,600 / 76,000; resistance at 81,400–82,000. Breaking below 79,800 turns the dense options zone at 78,000 from theoretical to a path. Discussion: With volatility compressed to the lowest, do you think it's "the calm before the storm" or "the market is really dead"? I choose the former, but with one premise: the calm before the event and the intensity after are often disproportionate. The tighter the compression, the stronger the rebound—direction will only be clear after the statement. Poll: Which combination scares you most in these three days—A. No rate hike but hawkish wording; B. PCE exceeding expectations; C. Options expiration crashing to 78,000; D. All three together. Not investment advice, risk at your own discretion. #MarketAnalysis $BTC#RobinhoodQ3ProfitFalls Robinhood’s latest earnings show a clear shift: crypto revenue fell 55% YoY to $120M, while prediction-market revenue surged 6x+ to $173M. Total revenue still hit a record $1.42B. Retail trading isn’t disappearing — but where traders speculate is changing. Crypto platforms should pay attention.
