🔥 $187 million liquidated, long and short positions both crushed! $ZEC whale shorts floating a loss of $18 million, liquidation price 1312, hanging by a thread
In the past 24 hours, 65,660 people across the network were liquidated, totaling $187 million. Long liquidations were $128 million, accounting for 68.7%; short liquidations were $58.55 million, accounting for 31.3%. In the past 4 hours, both longs and shorts were liquidated: longs $25.5 million, shorts $17.55 million, both sides suffering heavy losses.
But the worst hit are the ZEC shorts. On Hyperliquid, the largest short position in ZEC added $36.81 million margin in the past 24 hours, holding $34.09 million in short positions, with floating losses reaching $18.04 million, opening price 305.9, liquidation price 1312.58. Current price 1254, only $58 away from liquidation.
ZEC surged 2.33% in one hour to 1250, shorts liquidated $410,000, longs liquidated only $10,000, a complete one-sided slaughter.
$BTC repeatedly liquidated around the 80,000 mark, ZEC squeezed shorts above 1250. Longs died on BTC, shorts died on ZEC. On the liquidation map, all shorts are above 1228, and below 1184 is a big liquidation pit. The manipulators profit from both ends, no one escapes. FOMC, PCE, $11 billion options settlement
$BTC, $ETH repeatedly tug-of-war, three major events this week will focus on pricing short-term direction
October 29 FOMC decision and press conference
The Federal Reserve is very likely to maintain 3.75%—4.00% unchanged, with CME pricing the probability of no change at about 91%. The real trading variable is not whether to move or not, but the chairman's wording on the December path—the market has priced in nearly an 80% chance of a rate hike in December, and any hawkish confirmation will push up real rates and suppress risk assets. Wintermute warns that the current implied volatility is low, and the market may be underestimating the volatility risk around the decision
October 29 PCE + Q3 GDP
September PCE is the Fed's true anchor inflation indicator, released the day after the FOMC meeting. If core PCE continues the previous cooling trend of 3.0%, it is slightly favorable for BTC; if it remains sticky and exceeds expectations again, the "higher for longer" narrative will directly suppress rebound space
October 30 about $11 billion BTC options monthly settlement
Deribit's monthly options nominal expiration scale is about $10.97 billion, with call contracts about twice the number of puts. But nominal scale does not equal directional signal—the market makers' hedging adjustments before and after expiration often amplify short-term volatility, with the $83,000—$85,000 range as the short-term battle focus
#OctoberFOMCRateDecision to be announced this week A giant whale nearly "died" last night, with a $272 million position just $30 away from liquidation.
$ETH dropped as low as 2282. Among his nearly $400 million long positions in $BTC and ETH, the liquidation price for ETH was set at 2256, just $30 away. In the early morning, he urgently added 9.21 million USDC as margin, forcibly pulling the liquidation price from 2256 down to 2181, temporarily climbing out of the ICU.
ETH plunged from 2527 to 2358 within 4 hours, sweeping out almost all liquidity below. The densest near-term long liquidation zone is between 2340 and 2370. For BTC, the short stop-loss cluster is between 82000 and 83800 above. Over the past 24 hours, the entire network saw over $800 million liquidated, with longs accounting for more than 93%. 213,000 traders were wiped out, and BTC alone liquidated $235 million.
The current structure is: ETH’s near-term long danger zone has been fully triggered, the whale added margin and retreated to a safe distance; BTC still has a long liquidation band just above 80000 underfoot, not completely cleared yet.
$ETH #ETH强势拉升，空头清算超11亿美元 $SOL perpetual contract open interest returned to 8.82 million contracts at 13:00 on 10-26, which is 300,000 contracts more than the 8.52 million at the same time on 10-25. The price remained flat around 101.34 to 101 during the same period, basically unchanged.
The rise in open interest without a price increase indicates that the additional 300,000 contracts are not longs bottom-fishing but rather shorts or hedgers entering the market. If longs were truly accumulating, the price wouldn’t stay flat; there would be at least a small rebound. Currently, positions are increasing while the price is waiting.
From 10-24 to 10-25, open interest dropped from a peak of 8.79 million contracts to 8.52 million, a decrease of 270,000 contracts, signaling a deleveraging phase. Now it has risen back to 8.82 million, 30,000 contracts above the previous peak, indicating that not all positions that exited have left the market; some have re-entered at lower levels.
This batch of re-entered positions is likely biased toward shorts. At 00:00 on 10-26, the funding rate turned negative to -0.00002055%, with a mark price of 101.59, signaling that shorts are paying. By 08:00, the funding rate returned positive at 0.00008764%, indicating a tug-of-war between longs and shorts. However, open interest continues to rise and the price remains flat near 101, meaning longs have not gained an advantage.
If open interest rises to 8.82 million and the price subsequently breaks above 104 with increased volume, that would confirm longs re-entering. If the price continues sideways or breaks below 100, shorts within these 8.82 million contracts will start taking profits, and open interest will decline again. The current 8.82 million contracts represent a buildup of positions awaiting directional movement. Macro Background: A "Bidirectional Bearish" Week for FOMC + Tech Earnings
FOMC (October 27–28): The market pricing maintains about a 91% probability of holding the rate steady at 3.75%–4.00%, with about a 9% chance of a rate hike. But the real risk lies in December—the market expects the probability of a rate hike in December to surge to nearly 80%. The statement from Chair Powell's press conference regarding December's signal is key. BTSE's COO bluntly stated: It is highly likely to hold steady this week; what really matters is how strong the Chair's signal is for a December rate hike. Against the backdrop of high oil prices, US-Iran conflict, and inflation, the Federal Reserve could very well adopt a hawkish tone.
Tech earnings are a "bidirectional bearish" variable: Microsoft and Google report earnings on Wednesday, Amazon on Thursday. The huge AI spending impacts BTC in two bearish directions—if earnings prove growth, funds may divert from BTC into tech stocks; if concerns over AI returns trigger sell-offs, BTC will also be under pressure. BTC only benefits in the narrow window where tech stocks rebound and risk appetite recovers.
Geopolitical marginal easing: Trump announced that the US will not attack Iran that day, with S&P futures up 0.5%, Nasdaq futures up 0.7%, and oil prices falling inversely. However, geopolitical risks remain unresolved, and oil prices are still high. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Tonight $BTW's two 1H candles played out the "perpetual futures crash before spot, then rebound before spot" scenario.
At 22:00, the candle went O 1.4041 → L 1.0618 → C 1.2082, with a single candle volume of 7.27 million USD, 10.8 times that of the previous candle; at 23:00, the low was 1.0255 and the high 1.5951, down nearly 39% from the 24h open, then pulled back 55% from the bottom.
What matters is not the drop percentage, but three prices: OKX index price (external spot composite) 24h low was 1.0655, but the perpetual futures dropped to 1.0255, 3.8% below the index anchor—this drop affected the entire market, not just OKX; around 23:24, the perpetual futures discount was -3.3%, at 23:00 the funding fee settled at -0.97%, this coin settles funding every hour, so shorts were paying out; open interest was 1.63 million USD, 24h volume was 26 million USD, 16 times turnover, all short-term funds fighting each other.
On OKX, BTW has no spot yet, only 20x perpetual futures; on November 2, 101.6M BTW will unlock.
During the 22:00 hour, even if you correctly predicted the direction and went long, you still got stopped out by the wick—the damage came from timing and leverage.
Which candle was the deepest wick that hit you? $BTW It now feels more like a game of event repricing rather than a mindless chase for gains. When you see institutions buying, do you get excited and follow? At first glance, when I saw the data from October 19 to 25, I actually calmed down a bit. Strive added 6,182 BTC in a single week, about $511 million, which is not a small amount for any week; Bitmine added 10,452 ETH, about $24.6 million; Strategy had zero increase this week. On the surface, it looks like institutions are continuing to accumulate, but when you include the ETF data, the picture changes: Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of about $301.2 million, while Ethereum ETFs had a net outflow of about $220.7 million. The activity is real, but the support is uneven. My own understanding is that this week the market is not trading on "institutions being broadly bullish," but rather on "BTC being repriced while ETH is still waiting for confirmation." Strive's large purchase seems more like a clear directional statement, which will strengthen the market's imagination of BTC's support below and also make leveraged bulls see a pullback as an opportunity. But the detail that Strategy had zero increase is quite key; it shows that the top players are not in sync, yet the market tends to simplify this as "institutions are still buying." ETH is even more subtle. Bitmine is increasing positions, but ETFs are flowing out, with opposite directions on both sides. I don't see this as purely a bad signal; it seems more like traditional capital is...$UNI Arthur Hayes just sold off all his UNI holdings, but the market barely reacted.
With such huge institutional selling pressure, the price only dipped less than 1% in a single day. The 6.8 support level was tested several times but never broke; the market is very resilient. Honest signals lie in the pairing of decline and volume; even with this level of negative news, the price didn't break down, clearly showing big money is eagerly buying at the bottom.
The chips have been cleaned so thoroughly that even a blatant sell-off can't break it. Next, just a little emotional spark could send it soaring.

👇🔥 $BTC Midterm Election Theory: Will History Repeat?
Bitcoin has often declined after previous U.S. midterm elections. But there’s a key detail many overlook: in past cycles, BTC’s final bottom came after the elections. 👀
This suggests the post-election decline may be a historical correlation, not a direct cause.
If Bitcoin has already established its cycle bottom this time, the pattern may not repeat. Could BTC have bottomed before the midterm elections this year?
#OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ $SK海力士 Q3 earnings countdown. Citi expects operating profit of 81.3 trillion KRW, exceeding market consensus by 8%, with HBM4 explicitly identified as a key variable for upward profit revision. Mass production of 12-layer HBM4 began in September, and SK Hynix is expected to secure about 60% of Nvidia's total HBM4 supply, with HBM4 sales share officially surpassing HBM3E in Q4. The pricing power and volume ramp of HBM4 are the real highlights of this earnings report. #SK海力士 #HBM4 #Q3财报💥 Over $400 million in long positions are stuck on the brink of liquidation. BTC is at 80,887, ETH at 2,365; spot prices are weakening, but perpetual contracts are still holding strong; funding rates on both sides remain positive at +0.00125%, longs are paying despite price drops—this is not strength, it's stubbornness.
📉 $BTC and $ETH leverage diverge: 24h BTC open interest rises instead of falling, with new leverage entering; ETH open interest significantly shrinks, funds are withdrawing. BTC retail long-short ratio is 0.4861, with concentrated liquidations; whales at 0.77, holding longs cautiously, shorts dominate. ETH long-short ratio is 2.46, with bullish positions not yet fully cleared.
🔥 24h total network liquidations are about $578 million, with longs accounting for 91%; BTC liquidations at 235 million, ETH at 184 million, almost all longs. A certain giant whale holds nearly $400 million in BTC+ETH longs, with ETH liquidation price at 2,181 and BTC at 70,396; ETH lowest price hit 2,282, just $30 above liquidation, triggering emergency margin top-up. This "liquidation bomb" itself is a catalyst for downside. #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？ The top big short who has historically made a total profit of $180 million and earned $25.22 million in the past 24 hours now has a combined unrealized loss of about $22.78 million on BTC, ETH, and SOL short positions.
With a nominal position of $530 million, the funding fees have already collected about $11 million; at this rate, it will take roughly two weeks to break even on the unrealized loss, and the liquidation price is still quite far from the entry price. Retail investors really shouldn't blindly copy a few candlesticks when big money is playing this long-term game.Retail investors treat 80,000 as the exit window, while whales have been holding back for two consecutive months — this divergence occurs before the PCE release
On-chain data shows that in the past 30 days, retail investors' BTC deposits to Binance doubled from $5.5 billion to $10.75 billion, hitting a roughly 6-month high; meanwhile, whale deposits dropped from $5.9 billion at the end of August to $3.8 billion, a decrease of about 36%. Retail investors are selling, whales are waiting, and the PCE won't be released until the day after the rate decision.
$BTC around 80,500. Weekly ETF net inflow of $301 million ended two weeks of consecutive declines, but October still shows a net outflow of $314 million; last Thursday and Friday combined outflow was $773 million, partially offsetting the midweek inflow of $1.07 billion.
$ETH around 2,340. ETH ETF has had four consecutive weeks of net outflows, with another $221 million last week, totaling about $1.18 billion lost in October; SOL saw a cumulative outflow of about $68 million in October, with zero net inflow on the 24th.
$SOL around 101, barely holding the integer level. ETF monthly cumulative outflow of $68 million, buying pressure is temporarily absent, but the on-chain tokenization narrative is still progressing.
In short: the rate decision will most likely remain unchanged, but the PCE will be released a day later. Retail investors are selling, whales are waiting, and ETF money is only flowing through the BTC channel. All three coins are waiting for the same thing — whether the inflation data provides a decent reason.
For record-keeping purposes only, not investment advice.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK Hynix Q3 Earnings Report Approaching, Can HBM4 Boost Profitability? On October 28, SK Hynix will release its third-quarter earnings report. The market's real focus is not just on how much profit can grow, but on the ramp-up progress of HBM4, whether storage price increases can continue, and if AI demand can keep supporting high profitability. First, performance expectations are already very high. The market predicts SK Hynix's third-quarter revenue to be about 9.82 trillion KRW, operating profit about 7.7 trillion KRW, with an operating margin expected to approach 78%. These are still market forecasts, not officially announced company results. In Q2, the company’s revenue reached 7.932 trillion KRW, operating profit was 6.054 trillion KRW, with an operating margin of about 76%. This means the Q3 report must not only verify the strength of AI storage demand but also see if profitability can continue to improve. Second, HBM4 is the core highlight of this earnings report. SK Hynix previously stated that shipments of HBM4 began in Q2 and plans to expand production in the second half of the year. The next focus is on actual shipment volume, yield rates, and customer demand to see if they can support the next phase of growth. However, it should be noted that starting HBM4 shipments does not mean capacity has fully ramped up. The market is more concerned whether the new product can scale as planned and continue to maintain advantages in technology, cost, and supply. Third, storage market conditions and shareholder returns are equally important. AI server demand not only drives HBM but also supports traditional DRAM and enterprise-grade SSDs. If storage prices continue to rise, the company’s profitability may further#GENIUS Act details released, stablecoin reward restrictions adjusted The OCC has implemented the GENIUS Act details, with the core adjustment being the removal of the clause in the proposal that "third-party issuers paying interest is presumed illegal." However, platform stablecoin reward programs have not obtained a compliance safe harbor and will be judged on a case-by-case basis to determine if they violate the ban. The underlying law still prohibits simply holding stablecoins to distribute interest or rewards to users; distinguishing the motivation behind reward distribution has become key to regulatory judgment.
For the industry, this represents a marginal easing, not a direct full liberalization of interest-bearing business. Existing stablecoin annual reward rates of 3.75%-4.5% on platforms like Coinbase and PayPal still face compliance uncertainties and will require separate regulatory verification, increasing compliance costs for platform operations.
In the medium to long term, the rule implementation provides a clear federal regulatory framework for the stablecoin sector. Hard requirements such as 100% high liquidity reserves and regular audits will eliminate small and medium players, increasing industry concentration. On the risk side, if multiple platform reward programs are later deemed non-compliant, the attractiveness of stablecoin funds will decline, putting pressure on crypto market liquidity. Currently, this is a stage of regulatory and industry negotiation, with rising capital wait-and-see sentiment, increased volatility in the stablecoin sector, and a strong need for risk control. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Today's "ECG" review: The line is straight, the person is lying down

On the other side, retail has deposited $10.75 billion BTC into Binance in nearly 30 days, while whale inflows shrank to 3.8 billion—small retail rushing in, whales quietly packing up. $BTC
Calmness is for the market, risk is for the account. The straighter the line, the easier to relax vigilance; the Fed meets Wednesday, don’t let yourself turn into an ECG in the straight line. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Now comparing market sentiment. The Fear and Greed Index is at 54, but I am skeptical of this reading because I see more fear in the market. The reason is simple: the Fear and Greed Index uses a calculation model, and most investors who bought BTC in the past two to three months are currently in profit. These investors are experienced because they bought at the bottom and know when to enter, which can be called smart money, while inexperienced investors either have not entered yet or are those who sold in the last few days. To illustrate my point: if BTC were $120,000 now, retail concentration in BTC would be very high, and the Fear and Greed Index formula would classify BTC in the fear zone. However, so far, experienced investors have not engaged in massive panic selling, only a large number of weak holders have been shaken out. Therefore, the Fear and Greed Index analyzes the behavior of 100% of BTC holders, seeing that 80% of experienced traders are holding and not panicking. But if the Fear and Greed Index were applied only to the remaining 20% minority group in the market, the Fear and Greed Index would now be at extreme fear levels. ⚡ The night before FOMC: BTC barely moved, but money quietly shifted positions
Today $BTC hovers around 85,000, down only 0.03% in 24h, $ETH at 2,336 down 0.35%, ETH/BTC steady at 0.029. Looks like a stagnant pool. But among 24 major pairs, 15 rose, 8 fell, 1 unchanged — the declines are minor, indicating selling pressure isn't on the main market, just no one willing to pump before the meeting.
The real movement is on the edges: ZEC +2.83% leads again, with 58.2 million in volume; NEAR +2.54%, HYPE +1.56% follow. The losers are all previous flyers — IRYS -24.8%, down a quarter in one day, volume only 13.5 million, typical liquidity drain. BTC dominance at 37.5%, down 1.66% over 7 days, money isn't hiding in BTC but shrinking within the market looking for small openings.
Fear & Greed 50, neutral. My stance: wait and see. This kind of "main market stable, edges volatile" before FOMC is the easiest to get hit from both sides if you chase; wait for the decision and see if breadth can hold.
Will you stay out of the market tonight or keep some position?
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#BTC #FOMC #Crypto Abraxas has opened two accounts on Hyperliquid, with short positions totaling $1.29 billion, and has already earned $353 million in the accounts.
But on-chain, these two accounts are marked as hedging, not bearish. They also hold spot positions simultaneously; the shorts are only used to offset spot price fluctuations, canceling each other out on both sides, so the net value barely changes.
Therefore, this $353 million is not a reward for betting on the right direction. One-sided figures are the easiest to mislead; you need to calculate the net exposure and not just look at the nominal value. When shorts and spot positions are close, it’s a neutral strategy, and following it for directional bets is meaningless.The $80,000 area is also a very important support level for big players, which small retail investors often overlook. The average buy-in cost of Bitcoin treasuries is $80,200, and the average buy-in price for treasuries and US spot ETFs is around $80,000 to $81,500. It is reported that Binance spot buy orders near $80,000 have been re-established after the $88,000 pullback before October 20. Meanwhile, the realized profit-taking pace has slowed to about half of the September peak. Overall, this means that institutional investors' average entry price is between $80,000 and $81,500, with a clear slowdown in profit-taking. This tells me that the current selling pressure comes from retail investors, combined with short positions in the futures market, while spot selling mainly comes from short-term holders, but medium- to long-term holders dare not sell their BTC bought at $60,000 to $70,000. This situation usually appears at local bottoms, which is exactly why I am going long in the $80,000 to $81,000 area. There is a fund on-chain holding $1.29 billion in short positions, with an account profit of $353 million.
This fund, called Abraxas Capital, is a crypto hedge fund. It has opened two accounts on Hyperliquid, with short positions nominally worth over $1.29 billion and cumulative profits of $353 million.
Most people see this number and their first reaction is that the whales are bearish, so just follow the shorts. But the on-chain data platform labels these two accounts as hedging accounts.
The key is that they also hold spot positions. When the spot price falls, the shorts make money; when the spot price rises, the shorts lose. The two sides hedge each other, so the net asset value barely moves. Therefore, the $353 million is not a bonus for betting on the right direction, but the book result within the hedging structure.
What really needs to be calculated is the position ratio. The shorts are $1.29 billion; how much spot corresponds to that? If the two sides are roughly equal, this is a neutral strategy with zero directional information. If the shorts far exceed the spot, then it is truly bearish. These two situations are completely different on-chain.
Following whale shorts for direction is where most losses happen. You see the nominal value but not the other leg.
My approach is to separate the spot and perpetual positions of the two accounts, look at the net exposure, not the one-sided numbers. Net exposure represents what they are really betting on.
With $1.29 billion in shorts in front of you, is your first instinct to follow the shorts, or to first check if it is a hedge?$AAVE
Near 24-hour low, what validations are needed for lending demand?
In this morning's spot snapshot, AAVE's 24-hour price change was -2.49%, ranging between 133.9 and 139 USDT.
The snapshot close to 133.9 indicates limited rebound from the low point. Dollar locked value may be affected by collateral prices and cannot be directly regarded as net user flow; utilization and net revenue are more critical.
If real borrowing demand recovers and risk costs are controllable, the basis for recovery increases; if liquidation pressure rises, optimistic assessments should be downgraded, even if the locked amount remains temporarily stable.Funding situation: ETF lost 770 million in two days, perpetual "hard holding" is a hidden risk
ETF—Net outflow of $773.5 million in two days
On October 22, net outflow was $635.6 million, and on October 23, another $137.9 million outflow, totaling about $773.5 million in two days. BlackRock IBIT and Fidelity FBTC together outflowed $471.6 million on the 22nd, accounting for nearly three-quarters of that day's outflow. Although the weekly net inflow was still about $301 million, the cumulative net outflow in October was about $314 million. The weekly "turning positive" is the residual effect of concentrated inflows at the beginning of the week.
Perpetual contracts—Over $400 million long positions hanging near liquidation price
BTC dropped to around 80,887, but the perpetual funding rate remains positive at +0.00125%—the price is going down, yet longs are still paying to hold positions, "this is stubbornness, not strength." BTC open interest rose against the trend; new positions are still entering; retail long-short ratio has dropped to 0.4861, with many liquidations; large holders' long-short ratio is 0.77, with longs flattening and shorts dominating. A certain whale holds nearly $400 million in BTC+ETH long positions, with BTC liquidation price at 70,396, which itself is a catalyst for downside.
Liquidations in the past 24 hours: about $578 million network-wide, longs account for 91%; BTC liquidations $235 million. Although the liquidation scale is far below the previous several hundred million level phases, the high proportion of longs indicates that traders positioned for a rise have limited buffer space for drawdowns.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 If you're stuck, you have to brainwash yourself, so good news for X Layer = good news for $OKB 😂
This wave of USDe basically adds a new interest-bearing USD asset on the X chain, and it's not purely reserve-backed; it's through hedging to earn funding fees and staking rewards. So staking into sUSDe or later one-click recycling in the wallet can directly participate in earnings.
For users, no need to bother with cross-chain; you can deposit, trade, and later amplify earnings right in the OKX wallet. For OKB, it's even more straightforward: the chain becomes more active, gas consumption increases, and funds are more willing to stay on X Layer, which can provide more price support for OKB. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？
From the data, Robinhood's blockchain trading volume has been declining since mid-September.
From the user sentiment perspective, there is also little discussion about Robinhood's market on social platforms, and the sentiment is declining.
There is a positive trend as deposits in on-chain lending and trading applications have been rising over the past week.

However, high capital expenditures continue, extending the return cycle. In the short term, compute supply, peer competition, and massive capex will suppress further increases in return rates, representing a "phase of realized interim gains but not yet at the harvest period's end"
✅ Highlights of returns already seen
1. Revenue surge + significant profit margin increase
Google Cloud's quarterly revenue reached $24.8 billion, up 82% year-over-year, with operating profit at $8.8 billion. Profit margin rose from 20.7% last year to 35.6%. Profit growth outpaced revenue growth, scale effects are emerging, proving that AI compute power and Gemini enterprise orders can convert into solid operating profits.
Nearly 90% of Fortune 100 companies use Gemini; Vertex platform and Gemini API call volumes continue to surge, showing strong enterprise customer willingness to pay.
2. Ample long-term contract orders, high performance visibility
Cloud business backlog reached $514 billion, with over half planned to convert into revenue within the next 24 months, providing strong performance floor for upcoming quarters. AI-related long-term contracts continue to increase.
3. Self-developed TPU long-term cost reduction benefits gradually realized
This quarter confirmed TPU full machine external delivery revenue for the first time. Self-developed chips reduce reliance on externally purchased NVIDIA GPUs $BTC $ETH $ZEC Opening the market chart at noon, $BTC is consolidating with a slight rise. Has it sparked your urge to buy the dip again? Don’t rush to act just yet. The few green bars on the left side of the chart do look promising—there’s about $50 million to $60 million net inflow on the 1-hour and 2-hour timeframes respectively, and retail investors think the opportunity has arrived, rushing in. But shifting your view to the long-term data on the right side, the picture completely reverses: the 30-day contracts show a net outflow as high as $7.682 billion, and the spot market has also withdrawn $1.237 billion. The short-term money coming in is only paving the way for retail investors to take the bags; the big players started their frantic exit a month ago.
Looking at $ETH, the data is even more painful. The 1-hour short-term just saw an inflow of over $80 million, but the 30-day contract funds have a net outflow of $8.595 billion, and the spot market withdrew another $3.784 billion—ETH’s bleeding is more severe than BTC’s. Every brief rebound essentially provides liquidity for big players to unload, not a signal of a trend reversal.
$SOL’s resistance to decline is slightly better, but the 30-day contracts also saw nearly $2 billion outflow, with the overall direction still being capital outflow.
The conclusion is very clear: don’t be fooled by green bars lasting just a few minutes. That’s a little sweetness given to you by the short-term, but the long-term is draining your principal. Big money is quietly distributing and exiting during the rebound; without real money supporting the bottom, what is there to push prices up? I insist on staying out and watching the show.
#OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek Is Bitcoin saved? Oil prices have started to fall, is a rebound coming?
1. Have you noticed that to trade crypto well, you have to guess the next move of Trump, the king of tweets?
2. Over the weekend, US oil $CL soared to 105, reaching a price Trump couldn't tolerate, so he immediately crashed the market, saying he wouldn't attack Iran today. Oil prices plummeted 5%, and both the crypto market and US stocks finally began to recover.
3. So what will happen to $BTC after that? Actually, from Trump's actions above, we already have a conclusion. Trump doesn't ignore the market; if it falls too much, he will back down or soften his stance. I believe the downside risk is still relatively limited, and since there has already been quite a pullback recently, you can consider buying on dips. For those who have already bottomed out, patience is advised.
4. I don't know if you've noticed, but there have been so many negative factors in the market recently—US-Iran tensions, Saudi Arabia and Yemen conflicts. Despite so many bad news, Bitcoin hasn't dropped much. It was around 82,000 before, now 80,000, only about a 2% drop. This is actually a relatively strong signal, at least compared to the US stock market.
5. So now the market is such that even with negative news, it doesn't fall much, or it falls and then rebounds. What if there is good news later? Think about it, something big could come! Besides the US-Iran conflict, there could also be positive inflation data. We just need to wait patiently now and keep an eye on the strong support around 78,200. Buy when it reaches that, if not, then forget it.
6. Over the weekend, I analyzed that oil prices are in the fifth wave of an upward trend, and the fifth wave is close to the top #Coinbase整合Deribit，Q3收入能否改善？ $COIN One year after acquiring Deribit for 2.9 billion, the revenue structure has changed, but revenue has not increased.
▪️ Announced acquisition on May 8, 2025, for approximately $2.9 billion
▪️ Only consolidated for 47 days in Q3 2025, contributing $52 million in revenue
▪️ As of Q2 2026, 88% of net income comes from sources other than Bitcoin spot
▪️ Subscription and service revenue accounts for 48%, whereas two years ago it was almost entirely from spot trading
▪️ Expected revenue for Q3 2026 is $1.221 billion, compared to $1.869 billion in the same quarter last year
▪️ Q2 2026 revenue was $1.22 billion, down 19% year-over-year and 14% quarter-over-quarter
▪️ Expected EPS this quarter is -0.109, compared to +1.50 in the same period last year
The transformation is real. This company's revenue used to rely almost entirely on spot trading, but now nearly half comes from subscriptions and services, and 88% does not depend on Bitcoin spot trading.
Scale has not kept up. Expected revenue is $648 million less than the quarter when Deribit was acquired, a loss roughly equal to 22% of the acquisition price. Derivatives have stabilized the structure but have not sustained the revenue.Bought Ethereum for $31,000 in March 2015, started selling today.
An old ICO address transferred out 5,000 ETH within two hours, 1,500 went to exchanges, worth $3.45 million.
Back then, subscribed 100,000 tokens at $0.311 each, sold 50,000 tokens in 2016 at $5.47 each, principal was recovered long ago. The remaining 50,000 tokens held for ten years are now worth $115 million.
An address that hasn't moved for ten years suddenly makes a transfer, usually not just once. The remaining 45,000 tokens are worth watching.#英特尔代工转型迎来Terafab新变量 $INTC Intel has postponed its earnings report by a week, and the main player of Terafab has changed.
▪️ Initial phase $55 billion, located in Texas, with a planned total scale of $119 billion
▪️ Intel joined on 4/7, committing to the full chain from design to packaging, mass production using 14A
▪️ On 10/7, Musk defined the boundaries: "We will build and operate the fab," TSMC can only sublease
▪️ 14A mass production advanced from 2029 to 2028, version 0.9 of the kit to be delivered to customers this month
▪️ Q2 foundry revenue $5.765 billion, Q1 was $5.4 billion
▪️ Operating loss narrowed from $2.4 billion in Q1 to $2.1 billion
Terafab provides Intel with process technology, not capacity. Within the $55 billion, what it gets is "14A written into this plan," while building and operating the fab remains with Musk; TSMC's involvement is limited to subleasing the fab.
The timeline is another matter: In May, mass production was said to be in 2029; in July, it was changed to 2028, and version 0.9 of the kit is to be delivered this month. The earnings report was postponed from 10/22 to 10/29, and the conference call will need to address which quarter this process technology starts generating revenue.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ SK Hynix's Q3 earnings have a chance to hit a new profit high, supported by AI demand + HBM4 ramp-up and storage price increases, but uncertainties lie in HBM4 yield and delivery progress. Consumer storage remains weak, coupled with previously high expectations, so even if the performance is impressive, a conservative Q4 guidance could easily lead to profit-taking. Focus on HBM shipments and customers' long-term contracts. $$This week's macro data and the Fed's October rate decision meeting are one of the three main themes. The logic is very simple: the consensus is generally that there will be no rate hike in October. The core focus is on Wash's speech regarding inflation views and how he explains the decision not to raise rates in October.
I personally expect Wash to say that pausing rate hikes in October is just to allow observation, while shifting the pressure to raise rates to December. It depends on how he describes the current inflation and energy price inflation, and this description will soon be tested.
Because after his speech early Thursday morning, the Q3 US GDP and September core PCE data will be released Thursday evening. If Wash still bases Fed policy on data, then Thursday's data could very likely push the probability of a December rate hike above 80%.
Secondly, the importance of September's PCE has diminished because September's CPI has already significantly increased market concerns about inflation. In contrast, the PCE rise is in line with expectations. The key is to see whether the inflation transmission to the consumer side is more severe than expected.
On the macro data side this week, once the probability of a December rate hike rises to 80%, the market will deeply price in the hike. Once it reaches 90%, it is basically locked in. Of course, it is not 100% without a chance for change. As long as subsequent data before the December meeting can prove that inflation pressure is easing, combined with Brent falling below $95, it could weaken the probability of a rate hike before the December meeting. However, at present, this is indeed quite difficult! #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 An abnormal situation about $WLFI that needs to be mentioned: The dYdX community is voting to shut down the batch of $WLFI markets, including ENA, ONDO, and others. Normally, such news should cause a crash, but surprisingly, it’s still up 1.3% in the last 24 hours, down only 2% in 7 days, and volume hasn’t increased. The price is 0.0538, stuck mid-level, fluctuating. My simple interpretation is — no one really cares about this market; whether it closes or not won’t stir any waves. Those who wanted to leave have already left; what’s left are just holders lying low. No volume, no story; the green and red are all fake. Anyone who truly cares should ask: if even the exchange doesn’t want to list this market anymore, who else do you expect to take over? I won’t treat it as an opportunity; this kind of half-dead market is the most frustrating.
$WLFI ETH long position is stuck, how to defend it this week?
Entered long at 2362, current price around 2327, slight floating loss. Honestly, this position is hard to hold:
• Fell about 12% in October, price is below the 20-day moving average at 2473 and 50-day moving average at 2546
• Spot ETF continues outflows, Glamsterdam testnet upgrade delayed, no catalysts within the year
• This week is macro-intensive: Federal Reserve (Beijing time 2 AM on the 29th), ECB, BoJ, and options expiration on the 30th
Only one key level to watch: 2220. Holding it means bottom consolidation; breaking it leads to next support around 1820.
My plan:
• Set stop loss at 2200, admit mistake if hit
• Possibly halve position before Fed
• Break even if it rebounds above 2400, consider adding if it climbs back above 2473
Do you think 2220 can hold? #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC's major coin at 79,000 is still holding for now.
The short-term resistance at 81,000 is also tough to break.
Today, the highest point was around 80,500.
There was a 1,000-point fluctuation back and forth between 80,500 and 79,500.
It has risen again now; let's see if it can break through and hold above. If the short-term resistance at 81,000 doesn't hold, reducing positions should be considered.
$ETH's resistance near 2,340 is also significant.
It struggled all day at this level and couldn't go higher.
But currently, the 4-hour chart still looks relatively strong with this rebound candle. If it can hold, the next resistance to watch is around 2,360-2,370.
From the long-short ratio, the market appears weak on the surface, but there is an undercurrent of activity beneath. The current market is called a "bear trap." Retail investors are frantically bearish and dumping, while the main players are quietly scooping up bloodied chips with big bags. Following retail sentiment easily becomes fuel for the whales.
The above are personal views for reference only #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
My judgment: Q3 will be a record-breaking good performance, most likely reaching or slightly exceeding the revised profit forecast of about 77 trillion KRW, but the main contributor is the price increase of general DRAM, not HBM4. HBM4 shipments fell short of expectations due to Nvidia Rubin's delay, and the real profit boost will come after Q4, with Samsung also competing for market share. The market will focus more on guidance rather than Q3 itself.Fragile balance at the compression end
Bitcoin currently resembles a tightly compressed spring: a 9-day narrow range has caused the 30-day price spread to shrink from 13% to 6%. Historical experience shows that the longer volatility is compressed, the more explosive the breakout tends to be once a direction is chosen, with a magnitude potentially far exceeding the current ATR-indicated $2100. At this point, heavily betting on direction is not cost-effective.
Technically, 82,700 is the invalidation line for the mid-term bearish pattern. Until the daily chart recovers this area, the price remains in a range-bound bearish bias, with short-term moving averages pressing overhead, and the bull market narrative lacks objective confirmation.
The funding situation is also unstable. IBIT's $566 million inflow this week almost supported the entire market, but once this single-source inflow slows, the net inflow across the market could quickly turn negative; the recent $774 million outflow over the past two days has already exposed this fragility.
In the next 48 hours, the FOMC is the biggest variable. The October hold is likely priced in, but the real risk is the hawkish hints from Waller regarding December; if rate hike expectations heat up, the lower boundary of the 79,200 range will come under pressure.
More troublesome is the coexistence of $117 oil prices and declining US Treasury yields: the market is trading on AI recession fears rather than oil-driven inflation. Bitcoin lacks a clear beneficiary chain, and weakness in tech stocks may instead drag it down. Meanwhile, a divergence forms between the Taker sell ratio of 0.67 and 67% net long accounts—positions are bullish, but actions are selling. If resistance near 82,300 holds, passive long covering could turn into selling pressure. At the compression end, patience is more important than direction.
$BTC $ETH
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Ethereum is repeatedly testing the $2,300 support line, the market is weak, but the "sellable ETH" is visibly decreasing.
Current price is about $2,305, RSI at 36.68 below the moving average, MACD histogram negative, the four-hour chart shows continuously lower highs, a complete bearish structure.
$2,300 is the immediate support-resistance line: daily close below exposes $2,250 and $2,200 levels; to talk about recovery, it must first reclaim $2,400–$2,420, otherwise any rebound only supplies bullets to the sellers.
The pressure on price comes from macro factors, and the direction hasn't changed. The probability of a pause at the October FOMC is 90.6%, but the pricing for a 25 basis point hike in December remains at 68.6%, with no short-term signs of reversal in the high interest rate environment. Oil prices and AI credit concerns alternate in disturbing the market, and the valuation ceiling for risk assets remains intact.
On-chain tells a different story: staking volume hits a record around 43.7–43.8 million ETH, accounting for 35–36% of supply, exchanges see a net outflow of about 170,000 ETH in a single day, and the other side of the ETF outflow exceeding $1 billion in October is that circulating supply is being systemically locked.
FOMC is the only catalyst this week that can pull ETH out of the $2,300 quagmire; before that, direction depends on who exhausts the $2,300 line first.
But always go long, always with tears of passion 100,000 people liquidated in one day, how I survived
Market in October: Big surge on the 13th, 170,000 liquidations (shorts wiped out); big drop on the 23rd, another 100,000 liquidations (longs buried). Up or down, liquidations happen—contracts have become a meat grinder killing both longs and shorts.
Three survival lessons learned the hard way:
① Leverage is an amplifier, not an accelerator. 10x feels great if you’re right, but a 10% move against you wipes you out. Beginners should stick to spot trading, and use only 2-3x leverage on contracts to practice and survive first.
② When funding rates are high, longs bleed money daily. Recently, Monero’s funding rate annualized around 70%, so holding longs means paying daily. When everyone crowds one side, that’s often the most dangerous time.
③ Stop-loss is insurance, not surrender. This round of altcoin deleveraging saw ZEC positions drop 7%, but price only fell 2%; veterans actively reduce positions. "Wait for a rebound before exiting" is the most common phrase from those who get liquidated.
This market doesn’t lack stars, it lacks survivors. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
My judgment: Q3 will be a record-breaking good performance, most likely reaching or slightly exceeding the revised profit forecast of about 77 trillion KRW, but the main contributor is the price increase of general DRAM, not HBM4. HBM4 shipments fell short of expectations due to Nvidia Rubin's delay, and the real profit boost will come after Q4, with Samsung also competing for market share. The market will focus more on guidance rather than Q3 itself.The issue with the short positions on $LIGHT and $CAP is not the direction, but the underlying assets.
Both coins have too small a circulating supply; just a few SOL can push the price up 15%. Shorting in such a market is essentially betting against the market maker, with inherently unfavorable odds. Using 10x full leverage only amplifies this problem.
The opening average prices were LIGHT 0.266 / CAP 0.0856, with mark prices now at 0.279 and 0.0999 respectively, resulting in unrealized losses of 50% and 167%. The lesson is clear: for contracts on small market cap coins, liquidity itself is the biggest risk premium, unrelated to whether the direction is right or wrong.
Turn off leverage and reconsider; the fundamentals of these two coins do not support this price surge—but this is not a time for fundamental pricing, it’s a time for chip pricing. Wait until the market makers finish unloading before talking about a return to fundamentals. $DOOD DOOD is currently reported at 0.002172 USDT, surging 52.85% intraday, with a 24-hour amplitude nearly doubling from 0.001380 to 0.002685.
Technical analysis: On the 4-hour chart, the MACD formed a golden cross below the zero line with increasing red bars. The KDJ's J value soared to 82.6, entering the overbought zone. The price once broke above the upper Bollinger Band (0.002156) but quickly fell back below it, a typical wick followed by resistance. The 0.002685 level above is the 24-hour high and a strong short-term resistance.
News: This rally is almost without substantial positive support. South Korea's Upbit is the main driver, with DOOD's single-day trading volume on Upbit exceeding $100 million, accounting for about 10% of the platform's total volume. Social buzz exploded simultaneously, with AltRank soaring from 761 to 10 and 142,000 posts in 24 hours. However, the project team faces a serious trust crisis; the co-founder once told holders to "floor it and gtfo," causing massive community loss. More critically, about 13.51 million DOOD will unlock on November 9, 2026, which could catalyze profit-taking after the surge.
On-chain signals: Previously at the 0.0016 low, on-chain data showed large holders accumulating against the trend, with a net inflow of about $1.8 million, but retail holders were rapidly clearing positions. The whales' earlier high-level short position prediction has been realized; shorts have profited from the spike and currently dominate the nominal long-short ratio. @懂币猫 仍然把这轮下跌看作牛市进程中的回调，并判断回调可能已经接近尾声。但他这场最重要的话，不是“牛市来了”，而是：长期看多，不能成为合约扛单的理由；此前加仓的结构失效，就得承认那笔交易已经错了。 对$BTC，他给出的方向没有变：当前可以考虑低杠杆、分批布局，但盘面尚未形成明确的右侧企稳信号。越想抓住下一段行情，越不能在确认之前把资金和杠杆一次用完。 先把八万美元这道整数关口放下。懂币猫认为，一个价格被反复跌破、收回，再跌破，说明它已不能简单当作一条绝对有效的支撑线。守着八万美元机械抄底，或者一破整数就恐慌，并不能替代对整个结构的判断。 他回看了上周的交易计划：当时82000至84000附近曾出现四小时级别的右侧机会，可以依据82000一带防守。但后续价格跌破原有的小三角形，原来的突破逻辑已经失效。因此，基于那次突破增加的仓位必须止损，不能因为自己对大周期仍然乐观，就把新增仓自动升级成长期底仓。 这也是他要求每笔新增仓单独设置止损的原因。底仓成本低，不代表后来追进去的每一笔都能承受同样的回撤。把不同入场逻辑、不同成本的仓位混在一起，最容易出现前面小仓位赚了一点，后面大仓位一回撤，就把Has Egypt officially entered the fray? On Monday, the Egyptian parliament authorized President Sisi with a two-thirds majority to provide military support to Saudi Arabia against the ongoing attacks by the Houthis on Saudi airports and oil pumping stations.
Three points I am focusing on:
1. Egypt's official stance is to only defend Saudi territory, not to attack Yemen. Regional officials say no ground troops will be sent; it seems more like air defense and air force support.
2. The Houthi-threatened Bab el-Mandeb Strait is the gateway to the Suez Canal. With the Strait of Hormuz blocked, the security of the Red Sea route directly affects crude oil exports.
3. After camps solidify, the risk premium on oil prices is unlikely to drop in the short term, but as long as the conflict does not escalate into direct combat, $BTC still has support around the $80,000 oscillation range.
My view: Most of the negative news has already been priced in. What really needs monitoring are Red Sea shipping and Saudi crude oil export data. Do you think Egypt's involvement is a deterrent to cool tensions, or the start of a new round of escalation? #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ About 55,000 more to go, BitMine is about to reach 5% of Ethereum's supply.
Ember statistics: BitMine bought 10,452 ETH last week, about $25.41 million; total holdings rose to about 6.0519 million ETH, approximately 4.95% of the supply, with an average cost of about $3,331, and an unrealized loss of about $6.118 billion. At the time of writing, BTC is about 80,200, ETH about 2,326.
Honestly: With a 30% unrealized loss and still buying hard every week, just half a point away from the self-set limit, this looks more like treating 5% as a hard KPI rather than aiming for short-term breakeven — will watch if they slow down early.
Do you bet they stop to protect the unrealized loss first, or continue to buy the last 55,000 ETH?
I'll keep writing as the 5% progress changes, stay tuned so you don't miss it.
$ETH Long positions liquidated for $128 million, just after a rebound, now it's the shorts' turn to get hit.
Tonight's liquidation data suggests the long-term cycle is killing longs, while the short-term cycle is starting to kill shorts; the market is harvesting on both sides.
1️⃣ Market-wide liquidations
In the past 24 hours, $184 million was liquidated, with longs accounting for $128 million, or 69.6%, and shorts $55.94 million.
In the last 4 hours, $41.24 million was liquidated, with longs at $25.59 million, still showing greater losses for the bulls.
In the last hour, the trend suddenly reversed: $12.55 million liquidated, shorts $8.42 million, longs only $4.13 million. Prices slightly rebounded, and short positions chasing the market were cleared first.
2️⃣ BTC and ETH remain the main drivers of liquidations
In the past 24 hours, BTC liquidations totaled $46.55 million, with longs making up 72.1%, ETH liquidations were $45.59 million, with longs at 70.3%. Together, they exceed $90 million, nearly half of the total market.
The largest single liquidation was an ETHUSDT long position, amounting to $6.97 million.
3️⃣ My judgment
The 24-hour data indicates that a round of concentrated long liquidation has been completed, while the 1-hour data shows shorts are now chasing too aggressively.
Tonight, a rebound to clear shorts is likely before the market chooses a new direction. A short-term rebound does not mean a reversal; until BTC firmly reclaims key resistance levels, I remain bearish.$ENA
ENA is now at 0.21, with a 24-hour high reaching 0.213. While the overall market lost the equivalent of a meal over the weekend, it bucked the trend and gained 6%.
I checked the news but found no solid positive updates; it might just be that funds are seeking shelter in a bear market, and stablecoins have always had this privilege. The 0.20 level has been tested for a long time, so whether this breakout is genuine or just another test, I’m not sure.
In the previous round, I chased this kind of counter-trend rally and got hit after buying in. This time I’ve learned my lesson: I’ll add it to my watchlist and wait for a pullback confirmation before making a move. In a bear market, eight out of ten counter-trend coins are just fund tests—I believe half of that, and leave the other half to be proven wrong.
#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
The boss has something to say
Samsung will release the full Q3 financial report on October 29. Preliminary results showed operating profit increased nearly 8 times year-on-year. The core drivers are rising AI storage demand, HBM4 shipments, and storage chip prices.
However, I believe that no matter how high the profits are, we must be wary of the "good news being fully priced in." Two comments in the discussion section are crucial. First, Samsung's profits hit a record high but its stock price fell; foreign investors are reducing holdings and buybacks are ending, retail investors are moving to US stocks, and Korean stocks lose net buyers. This indicates a deteriorating buying structure and foreign capital is withdrawing. Second, SK Hynix's HBM4 backend equipment orders are postponed to next year, and expansion is slower than expected. This means the AI storage capacity bottleneck remains; the short-term shortage logic holds, but once long-term expansion kicks in, prices will need to be re-evaluated.
Today, Samsung rose 2.02% pre-market, betting on earnings beating expectations. Your previous long position on SK Hynix at 1250 was also based on this logic. But remember, when earnings are realized, it is often when short-term funds take profits. Take profits in batches when there is profit above, and always maintain your stop-loss.
BTC had a waterfall drop last night and now we watch if the 80,000 level can hold. If it doesn't hold, expect a deeper pullback; resistance above is between 84,000 and 85,000. Do not chase the rise or sell in panic; set your stop-loss orders properly.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set your stop-loss orders. Good luck. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $SNDK cashing out, although I admit it was a bit early to exit, I never greed for the very last bit. I also didn't expect the US tech stocks to surge several hours after the open. Mainly, I noticed a few key points: storage leader Micron Technology broke through the moving average, plus optical communication and US power leader $BE managed to stabilize and continue rising. US tech stocks have a resonance effect, so I judge that SanDisk can catch up with a rebound.
