#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？
The leader has something to say
The capital flow of BTC spot ETFs has been fluctuating recently. From October 19 to 21, there was a continuous inflow of 1.075 billion, followed by an outflow of 774 million in the next two days. However, the overall net inflow this week is still about 301 million, with BlackRock IBIT contributing 566 million. During the same period, BTC once fell below 80,000 and the 50-day moving average, currently down 0.37%, with the price still under pressure.
I believe this data indicates that funds are rotating, not retreating. The comments are accurate: ETF funds are rotating, not retreating; the weekly net inflow is still about 300 million, and net positions have not significantly decreased. The underlying buying interest remains, but short-term fund volatility has clearly increased. The key now is whether new buying can continue to support BTC to stabilize at 80,000. Only sustained net inflows can confirm stabilization; otherwise, spot support will thin out.
Last night, BTC took a waterfall drop; now we see if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper correction, with resistance above at 84,000 to 85,000. Do not chase the rise or sell in panic; set your stop losses properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop losses set. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC A new gameplay has emerged on Solana, $LAUNCH now has a market cap of about 1.4M USD.
What it aims to change is the act of issuing tokens itself. Developers cannot bundle chips and sneak away at block 0, the same ticker cannot be issued repeatedly, and repeated tweet spamming by one person is not recognized. Creator fees are 100% automatically used for buyback and burn, not going into anyone's wallet.
These few rules happen to hit the three dirtiest spots in the meme scene: insider trading, copycat projects, and volume manipulation. The rules are hardcoded in the contract, which is more effective than slogans.
What's more interesting is that it was caught by a tool on its first day. An AI coin selection system gave a signal when its market cap was only 1.39K USD, later rising all the way to 33.4K USD, more than twenty times. The machine doesn't care how pretty the story is, it only looks at whether the funds and chips are really moving.
I personally look at three points for this kind of target: whether the rules are truly written into the contract, whether the creator's fee usage is locked, and who holds the early chips. The first two points for $LAUNCH seem serious, the third requires pulling data yourself, don't trust screenshots.
1.4M is neither high nor low; going up depends either on narrative spread or real buyback with actual money. DYOR, don't go all in at once. #The October FOMC rate decision will be announced this week; a pause is almost certain, the real focus is on the wording and the December path
The Federal Reserve's October 27-28 FOMC meeting decision is expected to be announced at 2:00 AM Beijing time on October 29. The market widely expects rates to remain unchanged. No new economic projections will be released this time, so there is no dot plot to reference. The focus is entirely on the statement and the chair's press conference: how the Fed evaluates the hotter-than-expected September CPI and PPI, whether it still sees inflation risks as tilted to the upside, and whether it leaves the door open for action in December.
Logical analysis: The pause is fully priced in and is not a new positive for BTC. The real expectation gap lies in the wording. If the statement is hawkish and the press conference emphasizes stubborn inflation and hints at possible December action, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar will strengthen, making a BTC rebound difficult. If the wording is moderate and emphasizes data dependence, risk assets may get a short-term breather. The preliminary Q3 GDP and September PCE at 8:30 PM on October 29 are also critical: strong GDP and hot PCE will raise year-end rate hike expectations, suppressing BTC; moderate PCE will reinforce the pause narrative.
Trading strategy: Do not bet on a one-sided move before the meeting. After the decision, if BTC rallies on low volume and the statement is hawkish, prioritize reducing positions or lightly shorting with a stop loss above the previous high. If the wording is moderate and BTC rallies with volume to hold above the 83,000-84,000 resistance, consider light long positions for a short-term move. 80,000 remains a key support; if broken and not quickly recovered, be cautious. Core principle: the pause is not a pivot; the expectation gap is in the wording, not the result. Manage position size and set stop losses properly.data📊 shows that Google's cloud backlog currently reaches $513.9 billion, with explosive future fulfillment demand!
Second is the search advertising business, which grew 17% in Q2. With AI features increasing search queries and using AI to improve ad matching, this segment's exceeding growth is also quite certain✅, as referenced by Meta's recent earnings report.
Third is YouTube and streaming ecosystem monetization, including YouTube ads + subscriptions, and the rapidly growing Shorts Anthropic filed its IPO prospectus on Monday: revenue of $16.3 billion in the first half of the year, a 13-fold year-on-year surge
Net loss of $80.7 billion in the same period, with $72.4 billion being non-cash book losses
Q2 quarterly revenue of $11.56 billion, first operating profit of $974 million
But Q3 guidance is $16.8 billion, only a 45% quarter-on-quarter increase, much slower than Q2's 147%
Chip stocks still rebounded across the board on Monday: ARM up 6.19%, Intel up 4.04%, AMD up 2.8%
I think this prospectus saves sentiment, not valuation: a $2 trillion valuation depends on growth not falling behind to hold up, observing not chasing
Failure point: roadshow pricing falls below $1.5 trillion, or growth continues to narrow after Q3
Which side are you on: Is Anthropic worth $2 trillion, or is the AI bubble about to burst?
$AMD $ARM $NVDA
#Anthropic #AI#SK Hynix Q3 earnings report is coming, can HBM4 boost profitability? $ZEC Everyone says 1150 is a solid bottom, but be careful—this might be a safety illusion created by the main players!
Folks, yesterday's ZEC stop-loss point was still too conservative; it went up to 1267.
Next, let's talk about how to view ZEC today?
Grayscale ETF had a net inflow of about $41.1 million last week, ending three weeks of outflows, with institutions repositioning at low levels. Currently, contract open interest increased by 8%, trading volume expanded by 20%, buying is active, and short-term funds are entering proactively. But don't chase the highs just yet; with the ETF supporting the bottom and contract volume increasing, the current trend is bullish.
My approach is to wait for a pullback to around 1200 to stabilize before considering entry, and confirm after breaking through 1230. If it falls below 1180, it means funds didn't catch it—stop loss immediately. In a volatile market, follow the money, not the emotions.
Chip data shows 73% of holders are in profit; 1150 has strong support, but the 1280-1300 range is heavily pressured, indicating a lot of positions are waiting to break even above. Today's operation is to wait for a pullback or breakout before acting; preserving capital is more important than making quick money.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #微软Azure增长43%，AI商业化能否提速？ Microsoft is a company with enormous long-term technological potential, but a good company and a good price are always two different things. I don't have much prejudice against memes, but when I see active trading, I always want to click into the pool to take a look. If it's just the same batch of wallets moving funds around between different low-quality tokens, that's just existing capital changing tables, which is quite different from new money coming onto the chain. Especially after liquidity is withdrawn, the price on the screen remains, but when actual selling happens, the slippage can be shocking. So just looking at screenshots of price increases doesn't really excite me. Everyone is quite active when talking about memes, but when asked how much stablecoin is in the pool, no one responds?In the early hours today, $ETH barely moved for over three hours. It just stayed flat, no buyers coming in, no sellers in a hurry.
This kind of narrow range isn’t a suppressed narrow range. When it’s suppressed, volatility shrinks, positions increase, and volume slowly accumulates at the bottom. Now volatility has shrunk, positions haven’t moved, and volume is still dropping. Price is flat, but the number of participants keeps decreasing.
What illustrates the issue even more is last night: the Nasdaq $QQQ was triggered by $ANTHROPIC’s IPO filing, but crypto showed no reaction at all. The news isn’t lacking, buyers are.
There are still liquidations within this narrow range, and those being wiped out are longs. Price barely moves, but people are gradually leaving — this is more exhausting than a sharp drop.
At the current level, the technical line above was effectively lost yesterday, and now it’s sitting on a round number level. If that round number level doesn’t hold, the next demand zone below isn’t far away.
Everyone is waiting for the decision early Thursday morning. But most people can guess the outcome, and predictable things don’t bring market moves. What really matters is whether volume can return after the announcement — if volume doesn’t come back, this sideways trading will continue.
#Anthropic正式申请IPO，或创上市估值纪录 $BTC $ETH Hotspot Tracking｜Whales Concentrate Transfers to Exchanges, On the Eve of FOMC, Market Sell-off Signals Fully Triggered
Let's first review yesterday's market: BTC peaked at 80820 but failed to break above 81000, facing heavy selling pressure above. After the surge, it quickly fell back, hitting a low of 79422.
ETH also weakened, reaching a high of 2344, then following BTC down to a low of 2292. It can't even hold above 2350 now; the market is extremely weak.
The latest CME FedWatch data is out, showing the market's probability of keeping rates unchanged in October has reached 89.5%. Many think no rate hike is good news, but there's a hidden downside that's easy to overlook!
The market expectation is fully priced in, with nearly 90% of funds betting on no rate hike this time. If the result meets expectations and there is no other positive stimulus, the market will likely see a pullback after the good news is realized.
Moreover, with the FOMC meeting approaching, market sentiment is quite low. I have monitored some recent whale movements; the next article will analyze whether whales are quietly accumulating or dumping their positions! #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 SK Hynix Earnings Report Approaching: Which Will Impact Expectations More, HBM4 Progress or Profit Guidance?
My inclination: In the short term, focus first on profit guidance; HBM4 progress will determine whether the premium can continue. SK Hynix already disclosed in Q2 that HBM4 has started mass production and shipment, with further ramp-up planned for the second half of the year. So this time, the market is not lacking the story of "the product is made," but rather whether it can translate into more deliveries and profits. If the company cannot provide stronger signals on next quarter's demand, shipments, and profit margins, capital might also feel the good news has already been priced in.
I will watch two things: what management says about next quarter's orders, shipments, and profit margins; and whether HBM4 has clear ramp-up, delivery, and customer validation progress. The former answers "can we still make more profit," the latter answers "can high profits be maintained." The company previously stated that capacity expansion will proceed in phases based on customer demand and investment efficiency, so if demand and shipments are realized while capital expenditures remain controlled, that confirms both profit and growth quality.
Conversely, having only HBM4 technological leadership without a mass production rhythm may not be enough in the short term; achieving a quarterly profit record but with a flat outlook may also mean the good news is fully priced. My judgment has a counterexample: if the earnings call provides clear large-scale delivery milestones, yield improvements, and customer order expansions, while profit outlook is just stable, then HBM4 itself will overshadow the current quarter guidance and become a stronger expectation variable.
$SKHY $SNDK #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 BTC has been stuck around 80,000 for several days, fluctuating just a few hundred U up and down, so boring. Why hold at 80,000? Because the US spot ETF and the Treasury's average holding cost are basically concentrated in the 80,000 to 81,500 range. In other words, if the price firmly closes below 80,000, these two groups of "big money" will collectively be at an unrealized loss. So you can see that every time it dips, there are buy orders around 79.3k to 79.6k, but it softens again when it rebounds to 80.5k to 80.8k — funds are doing short-term trades within this gap. No one wants to make the first move; everyone is waiting for the FOMC statement on October 28. There is actually no good news on the macro side. It is consensus that the FOMC will hold steady, with a 90% probability of a hike, but what really suppresses risk appetite is the tech and AI sector — KOSPI had an intraday circuit breaker, the Nasdaq weakened, chip stocks softened, and BTC was tagged again as a "risk asset." If Powell hints even a little hawkishness after the meeting, this 80,000 support might not hold. ETH/BTC has already broken down to 0.0294, losing the long-held 0.0300 support. ETH itself saw a net outflow of 170,000 coins from exchanges in a single day; on-chain data looks like accumulation, but the exchange rate doesn't agree at all. The privacy sector is moving against the trend, with XMR and ZEC still slightly rising, indicating that funds have not decisively left In the past 24 hours, the spot prices of $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL have generally remained sideways and stable. The contract market is overall "calm with a bullish bias": open interest (OI) has slightly increased, funding rates are moderately positive, and liquidations are low and balanced. Leverage is not overstretched, prices lack clear direction, making it suitable to observe for subsequent breakouts.
1️⃣ Open Interest
🔻BTC OI is about $54.14 billion, up approximately 0.95%-1.06% in 24 hours, indicating a slight net inflow of leveraged funds.
🔻ETH OI is about $29.57 billion, basically flat (+0.08%).
🔻SOL OI is about $6.23 billion.
Overall, OI is stable with a slight increase, combined with sideways prices, indicating both bulls and bears are accumulating rather than one-sided sentiment dominating.
2️⃣ Liquidation Data
🔻BTC liquidations are about $36.45 million (bulls and bears nearly evenly split, bulls $18.46 million, bears $17.99 million).
🔻ETH liquidations are about $39.93 million (bull liquidations $27.60 million significantly exceed bear liquidations $12.33 million).
🔻SOL liquidations are about $6.34 million, with a higher proportion of bulls.
The liquidation scale is low and relatively balanced, indicating no large-scale bull or bear squeezes recently, and leverage risk is controllable.
3️⃣ Long-Short Ratio and Position Sentiment
The long-short ratio shows that both retail and top traders are clearly biased bullish: BTC long-short ratio on Binance accounts is about 2.3, ETH even higher at 3.4. Top traders’ positions are also bullish. Market buy orders account for nearly 50%, sentiment is neutral to slightly bullish but not extremely crowded.$IRYS This wave is obviously a rat warehouse cash-out scheme.
900 newly created wallets on-chain just finished claiming the airdrop, then immediately transferred and dumped 4 million USD on Bitget.

👇Elon Musk just raised 40 billion, and Mark Zuckerberg is about to raise 95 billion! Can AI boost it?
It's good news for chip stocks.
If Meta can raise the money, procurement will be more secure, easing concerns about "AI orders not holding up."
But the 95 billion needs to be broken down.
This time about 35 billion is launched, and another 60 billion is a stock sale plan to be launched next year. Chip companies intend to subscribe to 5 billion, but it's just an intention and not finalized yet.
Meta shareholders are calculating a different set of numbers.
Q3 operating cash flow was 32.8 billion, capital expenditure 34.9 billion, and free cash flow has turned negative. The money earned that quarter is no longer enough to spend.
Continuing to raise funds lets Mark Zuckerberg go all out, but shareholders have to bear dilution and wait for returns. So the same news makes chip sellers happy, but Meta holders not necessarily so.
I'm more reserved.
Financing can ease concerns about order cuts, but doubts about AI returns remain. Raising more money, increasing expenses, and cash flow not recovering means the excitement won't last long.
Mark Zuckerberg needs to prove not only that he can raise the money, but also how much shareholders can actually earn from spending it.There was a scene on Monday worth pondering: US chip stocks collectively rallied, the Nasdaq rose nearly one percent, the VIX pulled back below 19, showing a risk-on mood. But what about $BTC? It stuck around 80,000 without moving, with the day's high and low separated by just about a thousand.
Stocks rise, crypto doesn't follow — this kind of divergence often carries more information than a simple drop. It indicates that the crypto market's current weakness isn't caused by macro factors but internal issues: funding rates have returned to neutral, and liquidation data shows that it's the longs chasing rebounds who are getting wiped out. In other words, they're killing their own people.
Outside it's sunny and calm, but inside they're clearing out crowded longs. At times like this, chasing the rebound to go long is basically catching a knife that hasn't fallen yet. I'd rather stand on the sidelines and wait for it to wash out the players. Do you think this knife has hit the ground yet? > #Strive added 6,182 $BTC in a week — let's do the math on cost first

#AlphabetQ3CloudAndAI $ETH Ancient Whales Are Selling — But There May Be More to the Story! 🐋 Ethereum's early holders have started moving $ETH to exchanges in batches, but focusing only on their selling activity could mean missing a bigger part of the picture. With an estimated cost basis of just $0.31, these long-term holders are sitting on enormous unrealized gains. Even selling a portion of their holdings at current prices would represent an extraordinary return. However, the other side of the story deserves atEveryone is focused on Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting, waiting for the phrase "rate cuts are coming soon." I advise you to first take a look at the cold water poured by Capital Economics tonight: global inflation year-on-year has already climbed from 2.6% at the beginning of the year to 3.6%, and they predict it will break through 4% early next year. The driver is energy, with Brent crude oil prices pinned around the $100 mark, pressured down until early 2027.
With inflation rising and oil prices not falling, betting on the Fed to flood the market with liquidity is somewhat wishful thinking. The longer interest rates stay high, the more uncomfortable assets like $BTC, which rely on liquidity, will be.
I'm not saying it will crash immediately, but don't take the "rate cut narrative" as a reason to buy the dip. I have a clear sense of the direction and have positioned accordingly. Which scenario do you believe more: rate cuts or a second wave of inflation?80,000 is not a “psychological barrier,” but the “cost anchor” for ETFs and whales.
The reason why the 80,000 level was quickly bought back after being broken is not because “round numbers look good.”
It coincides with two real cost lines: the average cost basis of ETF holders at about $81,300, and the 50-day moving average. This means that when the price dropped to 79,146, ETF buyers as a whole entered unrealized losses, and the technical buying at the 50-day moving average was also triggered at the same level.
More importantly, on-chain data shows that near $80,000, there are over 870,000 long-term holders’ base positions accumulated. These chips are not necessarily “actively defending the price,” but their holders did not sell at the 79,146 level. The absence of selling pressure gave the buyers some breathing room.
The whales’ actions are even more direct. Wallets holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have cumulatively increased their holdings by 85,000 to 89,000 BTC during the consolidation. The total whale holdings have risen back to 3.03 million BTC, with the monthly accumulation speed being the fastest since February this year. Market maker Wintermute transferred over $770 million worth of BTC to new wallets during the same period, indicating cold storage after OTC block trade settlements rather than panic selling. $BTC $ETH $DOOD #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ SK Hynix will release its Q3 report before the market opens tomorrow, but tonight it already dropped a big bombshell: rumors say it plans an additional shareholder return of 50 to 60 trillion KRW, plus a special dividend worth over ten billion USD. The market is cheering, but I feel skeptical.
When is a company most willing to give money to shareholders? Usually when it thinks reinvesting its cash won’t yield better returns than just handing out bonuses directly. A sign of a cycle peak is rarely bad news; it’s often this kind of "generosity that’s almost unbelievable."
The louder the supercycle anthem plays, the more I want to step back and clearly see where I stand. I’m not predicting whether tomorrow’s earnings candle will go up or down, but I do know that at this point, position sizes must be small enough that even if proven wrong, I can still sleep well. What do you think—how much longer can this memory chip frenzy last?Skim off the layer of oil from 95% of the US stock broth surface, and pour every drop into the 5% chili oil. Franklin Templeton is slowly simmering a broth for Bitcoin.
The recipes for these two new dishes, FBEQ and FIBT, are clearly laid out: the main ingredient, 95%, is US stocks. Large-cap blue chips go into the thick-bottomed pot of FBEQ, innovative companies go into the high-heat stove of FIBT; the remaining 5% share is seasoned with Bitcoin ETP. But what really catches the chef's eye is the phrase "using dividends to increase Bitcoin holdings": they don't start a new pot, but instead take the floating oil and broth from the main dish and pour it back into the seasoning jar. This technique in the kitchen is called "returning the juice," emphasizing not wasting a single drop of the original flavor. However, the filing has been approved, but the start date is still pending, meaning the recipe is stamped but the stove hasn't been lit, and the guests can only smell the aroma and wait.
The key question is, does returning the juice add a new flavor, or just serve the original flavor on a different plate? Dividends were originally distributed to diners, but now they are intercepted to feed that 5% chili oil. The total amount in the pot hasn't increased by a drop; only the ratio slowly shifts over time. Today, 5% is a garnish; three years later, compounded it might grow to 8% or 10%, and diners still think they ordered the pure US stock set meal. This is not new demand, but more like a slow-cooked flavor change: low heat, no boiling, but the taste subtly shifts without notice.
Looking at tokenized US stock targets like $xMSTR, they are essentially pre-made dishes. The packaging shows the origin, but when opened and cooked, the heat is separated by a layer, the linkage with the underlying stock is sometimes tight, sometimes loose, the aroma comes from the same source, but the timing of serving is not up to you. When the dividend channel truly connects to Bitcoin, the flavor of this pre-made dish will be carried along: the bit of chili heat from Bitcoin seeps into the broth, not obvious at first, but the aftertaste is sharp.
There is an old saying in my industry: chili doesn't deceive people; the one who deceives is the hand that refuses to report the amount. This 5% is actually chili powder, not super spicy chili, mild on the palate, but it automatically replenishes through dividends, meaning the kitchen is adding ingredients to the pot by itself, but the guests can't see the spoon. Leveraged contracts are super spicy chili, too much and it burns the stomach immediately; this return-juice style increase is a chronic spice, not noticeable after one or two meals, but after ten meals the taste buds are completely changed. The ratio is the kitchen's lifeblood; whoever controls the seasoning spoon controls the direction of this pot of broth.
Once the ratio is left to compound to automatically add ingredients, the person holding the spoon is left only with plating. #franklindividendstobtcI look at the gainers list like watching a company annual meeting: CHIP takes the stage and sings three songs in a row, while BTC and ETH quietly applaud from the audience. If the host shouts "the whole venue is boiling," I first check if the people in the back row are still peeling oranges. 😂
This list comes from Hyperliquid perpetual contract public market data: as of 11 AM Beijing time, among contracts with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $20 million, CHIP rose 18.17%, quoted at $0.05053; HYPE rose 3.15%, BTC and ETH rose 0.26% and 0.30% respectively. My judgment is that the market is partially differentiated, not broadly heating up: the gap between the leaders and the rest carries more information than "who ranks first."
CHIP clearly pulls ahead of HYPE, but BTC and ETH show little volatility, and WLD even fell 1.38%, indicating that this excitement is not uniform. Another easily overlooked point is that the list sets a trading volume threshold and only shows the performance of specific contracts, so it cannot be directly taken as a thermometer for the entire market. Based on this snapshot alone, I can't confirm whether the rise is sustainable, nor can I directly translate the gains into the scale of capital inflow.
I usually ask first, "Is the excitement spreading?" then see who stands in the spotlight. Which side are you on: A, the leaders pulling away is worth watching; or B, BTC and ETH also strengthening clearly to count as atmosphere? Pick a seat, and don't mistake a solo concert for a chorus.Open chest. Hemostatic forceps clamp the first intercostal space. I see three hearts lying on the same operating table, yet each shows completely different hemodynamics—this is the real knife that pierces the sternum in #CryptoTreasuryShifts.
Strategy stopped positive inotropic drugs. Zero Bitcoin input, instead repurchasing about $205 million STRC preferred shares, effectively clamping off each external coronary bypass to stabilize myocardial perfusion pressure first. It lies on the table, 848.5K BTC like a left ventricle thickened to the limit, with an average end-diastolic pressure stuck at $75,446—this is its coronary perfusion baseline. Now it receives no blood transfusion, only repairing vascular pathways. The lesion is not in the myocardium but in the vascular resistance on the financing side. Diagnosis: contractility is still acceptable, but stroke volume is being drained by preferred stock dividends, so volume management is necessary.
Strive is another surgical approach. 6,182 BTC pushed in, total 43K, but new preferred stock dividends at 15%—this is not bypass grafting, but a high-resistance artificial vessel. Blood flow can pass, but intimal hyperplasia will arrive prematurely. Financing costs are like continuously rising systemic vascular resistance; the left ventricular wall must contract harder and harder. This heart has a nice ejection fraction initially, but the myocardial oxygen consumption curve steepens alarmingly over time.
BitMine takes the mechanical circulatory support route. 10,452 ETH pushed in, total about 6.05M, of which 5.23M is staked, annualized about $318 million. This is not open chest surgery, but percutaneous implantation of an assist pump—it runs steadily but depends on the flow and pressure of this extracorporeal circulation machine called the network. Pump thrombosis and driveline infection are its long-term complications. ETH staking yield is its pump speed; once it drops, the right heart fails first.
Viewing all three tables simultaneously, the imaging significance of treasury size is limited. What truly determines survival is the match between myocardial oxygen consumption and coronary perfusion pressure. Repurchasing preferred shares reduces preload; high-dividend preferred shares increase afterload; staking rents out by borrowing an extracorporeal pump to maintain cardiac output. The linkage with the US stock token $xMSFT resembles blood flow coupling after combined heart-lung transplantation—if the aortic clamp time on either side is too long, reperfusion injury occurs on the other side.
The last forceps clamp the key point: sustainability has never been about treasury volume, but the net oxygen balance between the narrowing degree of this coronary artery called financing cost and myocardial metabolic demand.The recent rise in mass spectrometry-related stocks is a resonance of three logics: performance catalysts from overseas leaders, expectations of domestic substitution policies, and the realization of domestic companies' earnings.
🚀 Overseas Leaders: Thermo Fisher's Performance and New Products as Dual Catalysts
Global scientific services giant Thermo Fisher Scientific released its Q3 earnings this week, reporting quarterly revenue of $12.14 billion (up 9% year-over-year) and adjusted operating profit of $2.968 billion (up 15% year-over-year). The better-than-expected results drove its stock price to a historic high of $705.79 on October 21. Investment banks including Goldman Sachs and Rothschild have unanimously raised their target prices to an average of $736.17.
A more direct stimulus comes from breakthroughs in the mass spectrometry product line: the company launched the Orbitrap Isora mass spectrometer, the first Orbitrap system specifically designed for isotope ratio analysis, further expanding high-end mass spectrometry applications in life sciences and environmental research. Meanwhile, Thermo Fisher and Mayo Clinic jointly initiated the Precure research program, which will leverage the Orbitrap mass spectrometer and proteomics platform to conduct multi-omics research, opening new possibilities for mass spectrometry applications in precision medicine.
🏛️ Domestic Substitution: Resonance of Policy and Industry Trends
The rise in the domestic mass spectrometry sector is underpinned by a deeper logic—the localization rate of high-end scientific instruments is extremely low, leaving huge room for substitution. The localization rate for mass spectrometry is only about 10%, chromatography about 11%, and over 80% of high-end instruments rely on imports. The "15th Five-Year Plan" includes high-end instruments and meters as a major national research project, marking a critical window for domestic companies to break through in a field long dominated by overseas giants.
Industry-level validation is also happening simultaneously: LabTech's independently developed series of mass spectrometers have achieved the first domestic ICP-MS application in semiconductor chip production lines and passed SEMI certification, breaking the long-standing dependence on imported high-end scientific instruments. Additionally, Haineng Technology clearly identified mass spectrometry as a key focus in its Q3 report, investing 21 million yuan in Anyipu, directly entering this high-growth sector.
📊 Domestic Companies' Earnings Realization: From "Layout Period" to "Harvest Period"
Some A-share mass spectrometry-related companies have begun to validate commercialization. Antu Bio's Q3 net profit attributable to the parent company grew 21.30% year-over-year, with gross margin significantly increasing by 5.23 percentage points to 70.84%. Research reports clearly state that its mass spectrometry and gene sequencing platforms have formed a complete closed loop, with 13 reagents approved and 40 detection targets covering multiple clinical scenarios. Precision testing is moving from the layout phase to the earnings realization phase. Haineng Technology's net profit attributable to the parent company for the first three quarters increased 93.45% year-over-year, with non-recurring net profit up 112.68%. The company explicitly stated that growth benefits from the significant trend of domestic high-end instruments replacing imports and the gradual implementation of equipment upgrade policies. Dean Diagnostics strengthened its mass spectrometry layout through the acquisition of Dipu Diagnostics, coinciding with the national release of inspection project initiation guidelines. The mass spectrometry charging path is clear, and commercialization is accelerating.
💎 Summary
The recent rise in mass spectrometry stocks is a superposition of three logics: Thermo Fisher's new products and performance igniting sentiment + domestic substitution policies providing mid-term narrative + Q3 earnings realization by companies like Antu and Haineng. However, it is important to note that some stocks (such as LabTech) still have a very low proportion of mass spectrometry/semiconductor-related revenue. There is a gap between thematic heat and earnings realization rhythm, and the risk of short-term chasing needs to be acknowledged. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ $BTC $ETH $ZHIPU CZ confirmed one thing on X: BNB Chain is going to launch another chain, a high-speed L1 running parallel to the current one.
It's not an upgrade, but a completely new chain. EVM compatible, natively bridged in between, with gas, staking, and governance all still using BNB. His own words were quite straightforward: multiple chains, one coin.
The speed parameters are very aggressive. Block time of 200 milliseconds, pre-confirmation of 20 milliseconds. This scale is not for ordinary transfers but aimed at high-frequency trading and real-time payments. Currently, BSC block times are sub-second, but to enable merchants to scan and confirm instantly and market makers to place orders without lag, the missing piece is this 20 milliseconds.
There are two more features on the list. One is native account abstraction, so wallets won’t need to preload gas to operate in the future. The other is an on-chain privacy pool, which is something that is both desired and approached cautiously under increasingly strict regulations.
Regarding progress, the internal multi-validator devnet is already running, with public testing targeted for the end of 2026 and mainnet in early 2027. That means it will be more than a year before we see the real thing.
What does this mean for BNB? Currently, BSC relies on low costs and ecosystem scale but has been criticized for congestion and MEV issues in its architecture. Launching a parallel chain has the advantage of not disturbing assets and contracts on the old chain, but the downside is liquidity will be split in two.
The real focus should be on that native bridge. Bridges are the most vulnerable part of this design and the only gateway for funds moving in and out. Once public testing starts, first look at who the bridge validators are and how multisig is configured, then see if the TVL is willing to cross the bridge.$ETH Fantasy time: If you had bought 100,000 ETH 11 years ago at a cost of $0.31 each, how much would you still have now?
The real answer from this ancient whale is: half left 🤠
On-chain data shows this big player sold 50,000 ETH at an average price of $5.47 in early 2016 (at the time, seeing a 1600% return probably felt like a huge win). Who would have thought the remaining half was held onto until now. Only a few hours ago, 1,500 ETH were transferred to an exchange to cash out.
At the current price, the return on the remaining ETH is a terrifying 744,017%... Want to know what diamond hands mean? Just look at the total asset balance in the screenshot.$TSLA Conclusion first: I absolutely won’t chase at this level; short-term shorting around 395-400 is possible.
Last night, Barclays raised the target price directly from 370 to 450 and upgraded the rating to overweight. The stock price surged to 391.62, up 5.21%, with a turnover of 20.7 billion, ranking third in US stocks. But if you look closely, half of the rally’s logic is based on FSD and Robotaxi, and the other half is actually the merger expectation that "Elon Musk wants to put SpaceX into Tesla." In plain terms, people are buying the story, not the profits. The technicals are also awkward: RSI is already at 64, the price is hugging the upper Bollinger Band at 391, and ADX is only 14. The trend strength can’t keep up with the price increase, a typical case of "emotion rushing too fast, the structure not keeping up."
Most people in the market right now are basically itching to act. They see a break above the 200-day moving average and want to chase, but when they look down at the chip distribution, 60% of positions are concentrated in the 365–395 range, with more trapped positions than profitable ones. Every step up has people waiting to break even and exit. The institutions are also arguing fiercely: Goldman Sachs sticks to neutral at 360, Morgan Stanley at 400, UBS at 425, RBC calls 480. The long-short spread is 120 dollars, indicating no one really dares to confidently say this valuation is stable.
My strategy is simple: short-term short around 395–400, target price 368.
Do you think this rally is a "real breakout" or just a "fake move blown up by talk"? #特斯拉Q3汽车毛利率回升，自由现金流转正 Sacrificing a pawn right from the start to open the line—this kind of move is only dared by those who have calculated the variant tree up to the twentieth move.
The 4 billion commitment for GPU and data center equipment leasing financing is essentially not about buying pieces, but about borrowed piece advantage. The lease is not cash; it’s discounting future initiative into today. The biggest taboo in the opening phase is treating borrowed rooks as your own: every step forward requires paying interest; and that interest will become the sharpest knife in the opponent’s hand during the midgame.
The real chess insight lies in three places, not in the headline. First is the delivery schedule—actual deployment won’t start until the first half of 2027, with a dozen or so moves of checks and counterchecks in between; any delivery delay equals your offensive being forced to stall on a half-open file, instantly losing initiative. Second is financing cost—once the interest spread widens, it’s like the board is invisibly compressed, reducing your mobility; what used to take three moves now takes five, and this efficiency loss is the starting point of defeat. Third is computing power monetization—the rented pieces must generate returns exceeding the rent, or that rook is a liability, not an asset.
Starlink and launch revenue form the pawn structure of this game. A solid pawn structure allows long-distance piece maneuvering; if the pawn structure collapses, the queen’s power immediately diminishes. Elon Musk himself mentioned that computing power cloud companies might fail or consolidate due to credit tightening and lack of other revenue sources—this is the most honest statement. It admits that after the midgame, some players will be forced to make equivalent exchanges in unfavorable positions, or even concede and leave the board. The longer the front line, the more vulnerable the weakest game in the war of attrition will collapse first.
Now look at another board. Tokenized US stock targets opened simultaneously with this news—this is a mirrored variant: the same position is being played out on two boards in parallel, with funds flowing along an invisible diagonal. The faster the pawns move on that side, the emptier the central squares here. So-called linkage is never about synchronous rises and falls, but about the misalignment of initiative: whoever mobilizes pieces first gains an extra passed pawn in the endgame.
What concerns me more is that this news shifts the risk from "can it be built" to "can it be paid for." The former is a tactical question; the latter is an endgame question. In the endgame, there are no flashy sacrifices, only piece exchanges one square at a time, waiting move by move, and quietly advancing under the opponent’s time pressure.
The 4 billion is not a check, just a proposal to exchange pieces. Whether it’s accepted depends on how much time the opponent has left; what I’m watching for is whether on delivery day the first pawn truly crosses the river. #spacex40bgpudealagreedCZ confirmed: BNB Chain is launching a new parallel high-speed L1.
EVM compatible, with native bridging back to the old chain, gas, staking, and governance remain BNB. Block time is 200 milliseconds, pre-confirmation 20 milliseconds, clearly targeting high-frequency trading and real-time payments. It also includes native account abstraction and on-chain privacy pools.
The internal multi-validator devnet is already running, public testing is targeted for the end of 2026, and mainnet early 2027.
Points to note: Not moving old chain assets is a good thing, but liquidity is effectively split in two. Also, the most vulnerable part of this design is the native bridge; once public testing starts, we should first see how validators are configured.As soon as the US stock market opened, the $BTC 80,000 whole number level was instantly broken like paper, with the price plunging to around 79,600. Some in the group have already started shouting "golden pit" ready to bottom-fish — but don’t rush, after looking at the data you might not want to jump in. Current price is 79,980, the psychological defense line has been broken, logically it should cause panic, but the 4-hour long-short ratio is still as high as 2.24. Retail investors are treating this drop like a discount sale, with open interest unchanged, all holding firmly as longs.
Looking at $ETH, current price 2,311, right on the edge of a cliff. The data is even stranger than BTC, the 4-hour long-short ratio has soared to 2.69, the price has dropped like this but they still don’t give up and are adding positions. This kind of "true love" is what the main players like most — they won’t raise the price unless they pull your leverage out.
Finally, $SOL, current price 101.3, the battle to defend the 100 level has officially begun, the 4-hour long-short ratio is surprisingly as high as 2.94, the short button has almost been pressed to death, and below are densely packed optimistic positions. Once 100 is broken, a chain stampede will start.
My judgment: seeing the momentum of retail investors rushing in at the US market open, I continue to hold short positions and watch with tea. Don’t think a drop will definitely rebound; in such a crowded long market, there is often one last heavy hammer hidden.🎯
#OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek This bullish whale has a floating profit retracement of 30 million, so why is it adding to its position?
Don't be scared by the retracement; first, look at the moat.
This whale has accumulated over $220 million in profits at the bottom of this round, yet the 24-hour retracement reached 30 million; currently, the combined floating profit of three long positions has shrunk: BTC retraced 12.8 million, ETH retraced 9.2 million, SOL retraced 8 million. On the surface, it looks pressured, but the capital rate is the trump card.
First, the bullish base is very stable. BTC longs are 1,850 coins, nominal 150 million, 4x leverage, average price 64,200; ETH longs are 78,000 coins, nominal 180 million, 4x leverage, average price 3,180; SOL longs are 550,000 coins, nominal 56 million, 5x leverage, average price 132. Total nominal position is nearly 400 million.
Second, the stop-loss line is very deep. BTC around 48,000, ETH around 2,100, SOL around 85, making it hard for regular shakeouts to hit the bottom line. He uses low leverage to withstand volatility and uses retracements to bet on trend continuation.
How to read the market? There are bullish whale longs supporting the bottom below, but the real test is not the retracement, but whether macro liquidity is turning. Whether to follow or not, don't just focus on price changes; first look at risk control boundaries.
BTCETH $SOL #ThisWeekFocus November Nonfarm Data #NvidiaQ3EarningsUpcoming #MiddleEastSituationEasing #CanCrudeOilCrashBenefitRiskAssets?Two events you must know tonight
The Federal Reserve FOMC meeting is on 10/27~28, with the decision at 02:00 Beijing time on 10/29: CME pricing maintains 3.75%~4.00% at 90.6%, with a 9.4% chance of a 25bp rate hike; the probability of a rate hike in December is 72%~80% (two different metrics at different times). The real risk is not "whether to hike or not," but the wording — at 20:30 on 10/29, core PCE and Q3 GDP will also be released, meaning a second pricing within 24 hours.

Any supertall project knows one iron rule: the more aggressive the superstructure, the thicker the foundation slab must be. Meta's current approach is to first push the upper steel frame all the way up to the clouds, then go back and use massive financing to reinforce the piles. The 22.5 billion in common stock-related financing is equivalent to cutting holes in the existing load-bearing walls to relieve stress; the 12.5 billion in mandatory convertible bonds act as temporary support columns that can hold up short-term, but once converted at maturity, the property rights held by original shareholders will be quietly diluted. This is not financing; it's adding to the structure while subtracting from equity. Even more troublesome is the subsequent supplementary limit of up to 60 billion, which is like leaving an open slot on the blueprint to add more floors at any time — with an undefined load limit, any review agency would raise a red flag.
NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom together subscribe to at most 5 billion, seemingly top-tier suppliers forming a consortium endorsement, but essentially the equipment vendors become minority shareholders. In engineering terms, this is called "material suppliers participating in advance payment," binding the supply chain, not cash flow. It can stabilize concrete supply but cannot secure construction payment returns.
What really keeps structural engineers awake at night is another set of numbers: free cash flow turned negative in Q3, with annual capital expenditure guidance between 135 billion and 145 billion. What does this mean? The project is still being poured upward, but the operating cash flow drainage system is already backflowing. The biggest fear in building construction is not running out of money, but the mismatch between cash flow and schedule — all expenses are front-loaded, all returns are back-loaded, and the entire mismatch period relies on external financing as scaffolding to hold up. Scaffolding can hold temporarily, but not for the entire construction period, and certainly not for a tower without a topping-out date.
The steel structure of AI infrastructure itself is not wrong; computing power is the foundation for the next decade. The mismatch lies in the construction sequence: laying the groundwork first, finding money later, then discussing returns. Diluting shareholder returns for expansion is like using a thin foundation slab to resist the overturning moment of a supertall building — calm in the short term, but once lateral cyclical forces come, the first cracks will appear at the thinnest joints.
Long-term scalability is never written in white papers; it is recorded in reinforcement ratios and settlement monitoring logs. This pile has not yet been driven to the bottom. #meta35baifinancing$BTC $ETH Many people are puzzled: the market stabilizes, but accounts find it hard to profit. The core reason is that the market has completely stratified.
BTC and ETH are supported by ETFs and institutional base positions, with deep order books and solid backing, representing a slow institutional bull market. Meanwhile, the vast majority of altcoins suffer from continuously shrinking liquidity and lack active buying: they struggle to follow the market rebound, and even slight selling pressure leads to a gradual decline, with spikes and slippage becoming the norm.
This reflects a mismatch between old and new bull market mindsets. Previously, there was widespread flooding and rotation-driven broad gains; now it’s a zero-sum game where capital only embraces certainty. Even if macro conditions improve later, the top assets will recover strongest, while most altcoins will only see brief pulses and struggle to sustain trends.
Currently, these approaches are more suitable:
Abandon simply lurking for low-priced small coins, as “cheap” without capital support is often a trap; concentrate positions in leading coins and reduce frequent switching; avoid altcoin contracts as much as possible to lower turnover frequency.
The bull market hasn’t disappeared; it just no longer blooms everywhere. The strong get stronger. Adapting to this structural market is the most important trading insight right now.The super monomer has already completed vertical development over Nasdaq, with the cloud top temperature dropping below minus eighty degrees—code-named ANT, it submitted its generation report to the U.S. SEC on October 26, and is expected to officially launch the week of November 16.
I spread out the sounding data and reviewed it: revenue for the first half of the year was $16.3 billion, about 14 times year-over-year growth. This is the precipitation efficiency seen only during an outbreak period; one hour of rainfall equals a whole month’s usual amount, and the echo intensity is very impressive—anyone looking would be excited. But flipping to the loss column, the net loss of 80.7 billion hides a thick inversion layer—72.4 billion comes from non-cash valuation adjustments. It’s like a warm cover not grounded to the surface; it looks hot but doesn’t rain, just a segment of the curve elevated in the numerical model. Removing this layer, the operating loss is 693 million, so the real precipitation is far less violent than the cloud map suggests.
The real risk lies in the terrain: the future computing power expenditure commitment cap reaches $750 billion. This is a ten-year typhoon path forecast; the longer the timeline, the larger the error circle, and the probabilities at both ends of the path thicken. Its wind shear, i.e., the divergence between bulls and bears, is continuously strengthening and has already begun to tilt vertically.
The fixed range of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion, if it hits $2 trillion, would overturn SpaceX’s historical peak of about $1.77 trillion. Breaking the historical peak is not impossible, but after breaking it, the climate state usually needs to be rebuilt, and the first record from the rebuilt meteorological station is rarely good news.
Looking downstream at the basin: the US stock tokenized target XLITE has historically shown lag and attenuation in response to upstream heavy rain: when upstream convection just starts, the downstream water surface only ripples; by the time the flood peak arrives, the cloud system has mostly dissipated, and water levels recede faster than they rise. Storage capacity is limited, and visibility is low.
I’m not issuing a clear weather conclusion here, only a signal level: orange. The reason is that the jet stream at the edge of the subtropical high is still transporting moisture, the divergence between revenue growth and computing power commitments continues to widen, the front has not passed, the subsidence airflow has not been established, and the foehn effect has not appeared. Everyone is looking up taking photos in the calm wind, while the outer spiral rain band has already appeared on radar echoes. #anthropicipofiledToday's data set is perfect for explaining to newcomers the concept of "emotion and price being out of sync": the crypto market fear and greed index dropped from 50 yesterday to 48, still neutral; BTC is currently at $79,994, up 0.35% in 24 hours.
📌 I prefer to see this as a slight cooling of sentiment rather than evidence of a bearish market. The index ranges from 0 to 100, with lower values indicating more fear, but it measures sentiment, not price changes. This example makes it clear: the sentiment score dropped by 2 points, yet BTC price slightly increased, so the two are not contradictory. Moreover, just looking at readings from two consecutive days is not enough to confirm a trend change.
When I teach newcomers, the most common correction I make is to stop them from directly translating "score drop" into "price will fall." That's like using a thermometer to predict wind direction—it's the wrong tool. Next, I will observe whether sentiment and price continue to diverge, without rushing to dramatize this 2-point change.10,452 ETH, about 24.6 million USD, Bitmine's weekly buying record continues!
Total holdings surged to 6,051,900 ETH, accounting for 4.95% of ETH circulation. The "5% alchemy" is 99% complete. But the cost of this "faith" is glaring: the average cost is about 3,331 USD, and at a market price around 2,360 USD, the unrealized loss reaches 6.1 billion USD, a drop of 30.3%.
Tom Lee's response is very "Lee style": $ETH has pulled back 13% from its high, while US semiconductor stocks fell 20% in the same period, so the crypto correction is "relatively shallower," which is exactly evidence that the bull market is still ongoing. He even boldly stated that in the next cycle, ETH conservatively estimated at 25x would target 62,000 USD. Believe it or not, but he is buying with real money.
However, the truly alarming signal is hidden in the capital flow: in the same week, Bitmine spent about 45.9 million USD repurchasing shares, nearly twice the amount spent increasing ETH holdings. The weekly purchase volume also slid from 15,112 ETH down to 10,452 ETH, the lowest since mid-August. The hard 5% cap is within sight, with only about 55,000 ETH remaining. When the "largest buyer's" buying engine is about to shut down, ETH loses not only a bullish symbol but also a solid marginal buy-side support.
Faith remains, but the direction of the bullets is already changing the chamber
#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ Where did the 69 million abnormal coins go? Behind the CORE hard fork lies the harshest on-chain battle
In the August vulnerability incident, a few validators exploited a protocol loophole to unlock future block rewards early, releasing a total of 255 million CORE tokens ahead of schedule. This was not a new issuance beyond the 2.1 billion total supply cap, but rather an early release of rewards that were originally meant to be gradually unlocked over many years. On September 3rd, an emergency hard fork was executed to clean up: 186 million tokens still held in addresses related to the vulnerability were directly erased and destroyed on-chain; however, about 69 million CORE tokens had already been transferred out to external independent wallets before the fork execution, escaping the project team's direct cleanup scope. The hard fork could not trace or destroy this portion of the tokens, which the community has long feared as "ghost tokens."
This is the cruelest aspect of this on-chain battle:
1. Historical transactions cannot be rolled back: This hard fork is a forward fix and does not revoke already confirmed transfers. Once abnormal tokens are transferred to external wallets, the project team has no simple means to forcibly reclaim them;
2. After token dispersion, selling pressure remains long-term: The 69 million abnormal tokens have already been released, and holders can sell them off in batches when the market recovers. As long as these tokens are not fully absorbed, the market will always worry about sudden dumps;
3. Vulnerability fix ≠ root cause resolution: Although the reward loophole was patched, this incident indirectly reflects flaws in the protocol's economic model. Coupled with the ongoing withdrawal of official validator nodes, market confidence is further undermined. Many investors mistakenly believe that once the hard fork is implementedI look at on-chain opening positions, and I usually first place them within the framework of liquidity and risk appetite: whether capital is willing to take risks is more important than which side a single wallet is betting on. Core Trader 57 just opened a short position on $BTC with 7x leverage, with a notional value of about $166,900. This is a new position, and the outcome is not yet revealed.
My judgment is that this trade is more suitable as a clue to observe defensive willingness and is not enough to indicate an overall shift of capital toward risk aversion. The reason is practical: the notional position includes the leveraged portion and cannot be directly treated as an equivalent principal outflow; also, we cannot see the wallet's other assets, so the short position may also serve a hedging function.
According to my speculation, if US dollar liquidity tightens, the willingness to take on risk assets may weaken, making such short positions more likely to benefit from macro tailwinds; if liquidity expectations improve, then shorts will have to bear the pressure of rising risk appetite. With 7x leverage, a price move of about 1% in the opposite direction corresponds to an initial margin loss of about 7%, not counting fees, and directional judgment also requires time.
So I tend to first observe whether the macro environment can validate this short position, and I am not in a hurry to label it as "smart money." What are you most concerned about now: the US dollar trend, US Treasury yields, or rate cut expectations? Which of these changes would most affect your judgment of this BTC short position? Some people's $BTC faith is truly engraved on their lips but trapped in their accounts.
ETF outflows reached $773.5 million, long-term holders reduced supply by 50,017 BTC, while ETF purchases were only about 3,700 BTC.
Comparing both sides, how exaggerated is the gap? $BTC
The reduction in supply by long-term holders is about 13 times the amount purchased by ETFs!
Yet some people keep shouting every day: institutions are coming, the bull market is secured, and corrections are just free points. $BTC
The problem is, institutional money is still money, not an unlimited ATM.
Strategy holds 848,517 BTC, which is indeed a lot. But after two consecutive weeks of buying, the pause in accumulation also shows that past purchases cannot be directly taken as a promise of future buys.
More ironically, BTC and gold have both become two of the worst-performing major assets since 2026, down 7.3% and 7.5% respectively.
What was once touted as a safe-haven asset is now getting hit together.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ The Truth About the CORE Hard Fork: Fixing the Faucet Without Chasing the Dirty Water? Understand These 3 Points, Don't Be Fooled by the 'Rollback'
Core DAO previously had a validator reward vulnerability, where a few validators exploited the flaw to mine a large amount of excess CORE ahead of time. Subsequently, the project team initiated an emergency hard fork to fix the vulnerability. Many mistakenly believe the hard fork would roll back transactions and recover the stolen minted tokens. In reality, it only plugged the source of the vulnerability; some tokens already distributed were not fully recovered, meaning "the faucet was fixed, but some dirty water already flowed into the market."
✅ Understand these 3 core truths:
1. This is not a transaction rollback but a forward upgrade
This hard fork does not revoke historical transactions already on-chain, completely different from Ethereum's DAO event which fully rolled back funds. It simply closes the vulnerability to prevent further excess rewards. Tokens already distributed to external wallets remain in circulation, known in the community as "ghost chips." 2. Burning tokens does not equal full recovery
The hard fork executed partial token burns, but not all excess CORE minted from the vulnerability were zeroed out. Some excess tokens have already been dispersed to external wallets, posing ongoing potential sell pressure. This is a key reason why the market continued to dump after the fork. 3. The hard fork only fixes a single vulnerability and cannot solve long-term fundamental issues
Even if the reward vulnerability is plugged, it does not address core risks like continuous validator withdrawals, SatPay delays, and lack of on-chain revenue. Fixing the vulnerability ≠ network security or a fundamental ecological transformationI am the mid-term intelligence guy.
Today, combining capital flow and liquidation data, I will walk everyone through the game and risks of BTC, ETH, and SOL.
$BTC short-term spot inflow, but 30-day contracts have a net outflow of 7.69 billion. Short-term buying has returned, but mid-term selling pressure is not over; don't blindly chase the highs.
$ETH has the weakest overall structure, with a 30-day contract net outflow of 8.39 billion, exceeding BTC. Both spot and contract have outflows in 24 hours, with funds concentrated on selling.
$SOL spot is being bought, with a 24-hour net inflow of 13.86 million, but 30-day contracts have a net outflow of 1.99 billion. Leveraged funds have not returned, so keep a close watch.
The entire market saw 118 million liquidated in 24 hours, with 55,000 people wiped out. Long positions account for 69.2%, and high-leverage longs were liquidated, with BTC and ETH as the hardest hit.
4-hour and 24-hour data only show short-term trends; 30-day data defines mid-term pressure. It seems funds are being redistributed after the decline. Control your positions, avoid high leverage, and wait for signals.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #三星Q3利润预增近8倍，完整财报即将揭晓
On October 29, Samsung will release its full Q3 earnings report. This profit increase of nearly 8 times holds the market code for the entire AI storage sector for the next two months:
This profit surge is not just an ordinary cyclical rebound; it is entirely driven by AI demand directly boosting performance: HBM4 shipments tripled quarter-on-quarter, DRAM and NAND chip prices have risen for four consecutive quarters, and Samsung's quarterly operating profit surpassed 100 trillion Korean won for the first time, pushing the entire storage industry's prosperity to a historic high.
But there is also a key signal that is easy to overlook: since the end of August, analysts have already lowered profit expectations by nearly 8%. The pace of storage chip price increases has begun to slow, and with Samsung and SK Hynix's combined 55 trillion won stock buyback just completed, the short-term buying momentum in the Korean semiconductor market has experienced a gap.
The upcoming earnings night will focus on two key points: first, whether the revenue share of HBM4 business exceeds market expectations; second, whether the storage price hike guidance for Q4 has shifted. These two figures will directly determine whether the AI storage sector's current rally continues as a main upward wave or peaks and falls in the short term. #Strategy Earnings Preview: BTC Book Gains Rebound Sharply
Strategy will release its Q3 earnings report on October 29. The digital asset book gains reached $21 billion, ending four consecutive quarters of losses, with analysts expecting an EPS of $17.98. On the surface, it looks like a turnaround.
But this money was not "earned," it was "calculated." The new FASB rule requires BTC holdings to be accounted for at fair value in profit and loss. Bitcoin rose 43% in Q3, causing the reported profits to surge; in Q2, when BTC fell, the same company recorded a net loss of $8.32 billion. The income statement swings wildly with the BTC closing price at quarter-end, while operationally there was almost no change—Q2 revenue was only $122 million.
More telling details lie in the holding actions. In Q3, the company only increased its BTC holdings by 334 coins, while spending $193 million to repurchase STRC preferred shares, with the buyback authorization raised to $3 billion. The preferred shares have an annual dividend of about 12%. Stopping "unlimited accumulation" and shifting to buybacks to reduce leverage essentially means using real cash to repair the capital structure rather than continuing to expand exposure.
A word from old Mo: The $21 billion on the earnings report is the effect; stopping accumulation is the cause. What the market should really watch is not how much the EPS jumps, but whether the mNAV discount can narrow and whether preferred share buybacks can continue. When a company known for "never selling" starts calculating dividend accounts, its narrative is quietly shifting.
$ETH $ZEC $BTC The number of non-empty Bitcoin addresses decreased by 30,000 over 10 days. According to Santiment data, on October 26, there were about 59.95 million non-empty addresses, a net decrease of 30,000 compared to October 16. This is not a crash, but a slow, painful exit.
What happened? Small holders are "frustrated and exiting" during a long sideways market, but addresses do not equal people; one person can control multiple wallets, so this only indirectly reflects retail behavior.
Why is this worth attention? Stablecoins are also "shrinking" during the same period—USDC's market cap evaporated by $4.69 billion in one month, but the funds are not exiting the market; rather, they are being intensely redistributed among different issuers. The disappearance of addresses and stablecoin migration point to the same thing: chips are changing hands, not funds being liquidated.
Which observation is currently more supported? It is more supported that "retail investors are disarming, but there is no evidence that institutions are absorbing, nor does it constitute a reversal signal." The ETF saw a single-day outflow of 2,123 BTC, but a net inflow of 3,344 BTC over 7 days; short-term disturbances are greater than trend reversals.
Next, focus on one thing: Are these 30,000 disappearing addresses surrendering, or are they "another pocket of the same person" merged into large wallets? BTC is stuck near 80,000, and the answer will soon emerge.
Do you think this is a bottom signal or a bull trap? Let's discuss in the comments. $BTC Accumulated 10,452 $ETH
10,452 ETH, approximately $24.6 million, Bitmine's weekly buying record continues. Total holdings surged to 6,051,900 ETH, accounting for 4.95% of ETH circulation, with the "5% alchemy" nearly complete at 99%. But the cost of this "faith" is glaring: an average cost of about $3,331, and at a market price around $2,360, the unrealized loss reaches $6.1 billion, a drop of 30.3%.
Tom Lee's response is very "Lee style": $ETH has retraced 13% from its peak, while US semiconductor stocks fell 20% in the same period, so the crypto pullback is "relatively shallower," which is exactly evidence that the bull market is still ongoing. He even boldly stated that in the next cycle, ETH conservatively estimated at 25x, targets $62,000. Believe it or not, but he is buying with real money.
However, the truly alarming signal is hidden in the cash flow: in the same week, Bitmine repurchased stock spending about $45.9 million, nearly twice the amount spent on increasing ETH holdings, and the weekly coin purchase volume slid from 15,112 to 10,452, the lowest since mid-August. The 5% hard cap is imminent, with only about 55,000 ETH remaining to reach it. When the "largest buyer's" buying engine is about to shut down, ETH loses not only a bullish symbol but also a solid marginal buy-side. Faith remains, but the direction of the bullets is already changing chambers. $BTC $ZEC
#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ 【Market is poor, but it doesn't stop Sun from making money】
A suspected address related to Sun Yuchen has moved out 4.65 trillion $PEPE, worth about 20.32 million USD. Since October 17, the total amount transferred out has reached 48.76 million USD, holding about 11.8 trillion tokens, with an unrealized profit of 2.085 million USD.
The $PEPE contract's 24-hour trading volume is about 374 million USD, spot about 67 million USD, and open interest contracts about 289 million USD. Contract trading is about 5.6 times the spot, showing clear speculative activity, but this does not yet prove bulls are dominant. Previously, from October 19 to 22, after net outflows from exchanges, 2.11 trillion PEPE flowed back, increasing potential selling pressure.
In the short term, the key is whether the $0.0000042–$0.0000043 level can hold. On the upside, first watch $0.0000046, then the previous high at $0.0000051. Large holders adding positions provide some room for imagination but are not enough to reverse the retracement structure. Holding support accompanied by increased spot trading volume is the only chance for a renewed rally; if support fails and contract open interest remains high, be cautious of a bull stampede. Chasing the rally now risks buying into a party others are ready to cash out from.The 7-day average funding rate dropped to -1.8%, the lowest since 2023. Long positions no longer pay fees, shorts start collecting money.
What happened? Bitcoin's funding rate flipped from positive to negative, with the overall market average rate turning negative. However, mainstream platforms like Binance, OKX, and Bybit are still struggling around the zero line; the negative value is dragged down by extreme readings from a few platforms.
Why is this worth attention? VanEck dug up historical data: since 2020, during periods of negative funding rates, BTC's 30-day average return was +11.5%, with a hit rate of 77%. But the crack this time is that the retail long-short ratio has dropped to 0.4861, with massive liquidations, while the large traders' long-short ratio is 0.77, indicating they are flat or watching, with shorts dominating. The funding rate turning negative is true, but long positions have not been completely cleared.
Which observation is currently more supported? It favors "leveraged longs are being forcibly deleveraged" rather than simply "negative funding rate = free money signal." ETF weekly inflows just turned positive at 301 million, but the cumulative outflow in October is still 314 million, and the spot side hasn't caught up.
Next thing to watch: whether weekly ETF inflows can continuously cover the monthly outflow gap, and whether the retail long-short ratio of 0.4861 will wash out the last stubborn batch of longs.
Is the negative funding rate a "historic buying opportunity" or "the prelude to the final drop"? Feel free to discuss in the comments. $BTC $ETH
