Long positions liquidated, not caused by shorts
$498 million liquidated across the entire network in 24 hours.
Among them, long positions accounted for $340 million, or 68%.
How is this calculated:
Forced liquidations are executed by the system.
When the price falls below the margin line, positions are automatically sold.
Sell orders then push the price down, triggering the next batch.
Who placed these orders:
Nearly 180,000 people were liquidated, not targeted by anyone.
It’s the leverage setting the stop-loss line too close.
A 1% drop with 10x leverage equals 10% loss.
Where does the money come from:
5183 BTC entered spot ETFs this week.
This volume cannot hedge the selling pressure from derivatives.
The real problem is not the price drop.
It’s that long positions are crowded above 80,000.
Once the price touches it, the chain reaction runs its course.
$BTC support is created by the drop, not by defense.

#$BTC 【Tanker freight rates hit $1.41 million per day, and Scorpio is taking this “bill” to court】
The dispute centers on whether the industry should continue to settle using the original freight rate index after the war disrupted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz involving $BZ. Scorpio is asking the court to declare the TD3C benchmark invalid since early March, shifting from claiming compensation to challenging the validity of the pricing itself.
This index is not just a reference price list; it influences billions of dollars in freight derivatives and long-term charter contracts. On October 8, the TD3C freight rate surged to $1.41 million per day, then fell about 7% to $1.31 million, still at an extremely high level.
Scorpio’s argument is that the route was almost cut off by the war, so continuing to quote prices may be misleading; the Baltic Exchange platform, however, states that vessels are still passing through and that quotes are assessed by experienced brokers. The real conflict is whether the “market benchmark” under extreme conditions should follow actual transactions or allow professional assessments to maintain continuity.
Whoever wins this case faces trouble: if the index is unreliable, hedging loses its anchor; if the court retroactively invalidates it, settled trades might be reopened and recalculated. What to watch next is how the court defines the responsibility of the benchmark publisher and whether existing contracts can be retroactively overturned.After surviving the ordeal, I closed this ETH position first. BTC is really a bit too weak. Rather than waiting for profits to retract, I’d rather close now, having already taken a 70-point profit.
Looking at the market, BTC, although up +1.02% and back above 80,000, hasn’t stabilized at 81,000. Yesterday’s probe to 79,506 looks like a bull trap, with support turning into resistance; ETH is up +1.92%, probing 2,282 yesterday and closing at 2,338. Building a position at 2,283 and adding at 2,297 shows a good trend, but the 2,400 level is a resistance with trapped positions. On the macro side, the October FOMC looms, Middle East oil at $116 plus Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia push inflation higher, US Treasuries “higher for longer” suppress rate cuts, ETF funds fluctuate, smart money’s long-short ratio is 30.83% with two-way holding, daily chart suggests a high probability of oscillating decline, with consecutive shakeouts after yesterday’s probe, bottoming near 80,000. I feel the decline isn’t over yet, so I’m protecting profits and not blindly following the trend. I’ll wait for a pullback to 2,280-2,300 or BTC to stabilize above 82,500 before reconsidering. Small capital to preserve principal, “slow is fast,” spot is better than futures, waiting for the next opportunity to trade! Yesterday’s probe really looked like a bull trap, those consecutive probes were really frustrating. $BTC $ETH $ZEC I don't touch high-leverage contracts; usually, I just watch and ponder slowly. I hold without moving anyway. But when it comes to asset security news, I pay extra attention, as this affects my judgment on long-term holding more than short-term price fluctuations.
According to Salus monitoring, Tether has blacklisted 9 addresses related to the CoinDCX security incident, freezing about 2,212,900 $USDT. The investigation was triggered by an abnormal transfer, and subsequent on-chain evidence led to this freeze.
My view is that this is not a direct bullish signal for the market but more like a long-term risk indicator: the security of stablecoins depends not only on whether abnormal funds can be blocked but also on how much control the issuer has over disposal rights.
The fact that on-chain traces can drive freezing shows that tracking and handling are indeed effective; however, freezing does not mean the funds have been recovered, nor does it mean user losses have been resolved. On the other hand, the fact that addresses can be blacklisted also reminds ordinary holders that on-chain assets may still be subject to centralized authority constraints, so they shouldn't just focus on the convenience of transfers.
Hoarding spot assets doesn't mean ignoring risks, and high leverage can easily amplify accidents, so don't press your position to the point you can't sleep. For friends holding long-term: does this freeze make you more confident in USDT's secure disposal capability, or are you more concerned about the issuer's freezing authority? BTC made a losing trade in the past fourteen hours: climbed from 79168 back to 80850 spending 1.9 million contracts, then dropped from 80850 to 80459 spending only 250,000 contracts.
From 08:00 to 12:00, five candles totaled 553,000 contracts, only pushing the close from 80844 up to 80896 — a 52-point increase. At 13:00, one candle with 250,000 contracts smashed 80896 down to 80459. The same amount of contracts moved the price down 338 points but up only 52 points.
Current price 80589 is stuck at MA20 80550, 39 points above, not standing above the moving average but barely breathing next to it.
At 14:00, US stock spot market is closed, CME is running, Asia dares not take over, Europe and America are off duty, 13:00 close at 80578 is the afternoon’s scale.
If it rebounds to 80780~80850 but can’t hold + 1H candle closes bearish with volume (≥120,000 contracts), short with stop loss at 80930, first target 80459.6 with odds 3.3; if broken, look at 80260 with odds 5.1.
If volume closes above 80900 (≥150,000 contracts), short positions are invalid; bulls should not rush either, buy on pullback at 80780, stop loss 80550, target 81008 with odds 1.0, no weak signals accepted.

Currently, the market's bullish sentiment is very strong and consistent, with most leaning towards a bullish outlook. This consensus expectation is a double-edged sword: following the sentiment can easily lead to a surge, but after crowding, the probability of a short-term shakeout also increases.🚨🚨🚨New warning signs for Bitcoin! Long-term holders have started selling, should we be worried?
Latest on-chain data from CryptoQuant shows a highly notable change is happening.
The 30-day net position change of Bitcoin long-term holders (LTH) has turned negative again!
📊 From the chart, we can see:
🟢 In May to June this year, long-term holders significantly increased their positions, with a 30-day net increase approaching one million BTC.
🔴 But since the end of August, this trend has gradually reversed.
By October, the net position reduction of long-term holders has even expanded!
What does this mean?
Investors who were willing to hold Bitcoin long-term are now overall reducing their holdings.
This group is usually less affected by short-term price fluctuations in the market.
When long-term holders start reducing their positions, we must pay attention to whether the market is facing new supply pressure.
However, I believe we cannot directly conclude that a bear market is imminent.
Historically, declines in long-term holders’ positions have also occurred during bull market rallies.
What truly matters is not that someone is selling, but whether the market has enough buying power to absorb it!
If long-term holders continue to reduce positions, but ETF inflows and spot demand increase simultaneously, the market may still absorb this supply.
$BTC $ETH $IRYS #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ "The spike recovery is just an illusion! The weak cycle hasn't changed, don't mistake the rebound for a reversal"
Don't think the trend has strengthened just because mainstream coins had a spike last night followed by a V-shaped recovery. In fact, the market is still deeply stuck in a weak cycle.
$BTC: Although the current price has returned above 80,000, the top is still firmly suppressed by MA7/20/30 (around 82,000/82,600/83,100), and the bearish structure hasn't changed at all. There were three main reasons for last night's sharp drop: ETF net outflow of 773 million over two days, forced liquidation of leveraged longs across the market totaling 837 million (accounting for 82.8%), plus Arthur Hayes publicly liquidating positions. Poor weekend liquidity directly amplified the stampede. The current 80,000 level is just barely supported by panic-cleared bottom-fishing funds.
$ETH: Technically the weakest among all. It bottomed at 2,320, a two-month low, with RSI at 31.8 entering oversold territory, but all moving averages above are pressing down, with the 30-day position only at 3.5%. The capital situation is even worse: ETF net outflows have continued for 14 trading days this month, with cumulative bleeding reaching 1.175 billion USD. Without fresh capital, any rebound is just empty talk.
$ZEC: Rebounded from 1,119 to 1,210, seemingly above MA7, but firmly suppressed by MA20 and MA30. RSI at 41.3 is not oversold at all, and the 30-day position is 25%. This is purely a technical rebound after a sharp drop. The previous crash was due to concentrated forced liquidation of leveraged longs, with hourly liquidations accounting for 98% of the entire market.
#With the October FOMC approaching, what changes remain if the Federal Reserve pauses rate hikes? First, consider the worst-case scenario: if you chase the price increase by going long, and then the price reverses while the funding rate remains positive, both unrealized losses and holding costs could squeeze your margin simultaneously. When I used to do risk control, seeing such data, I was accustomed to first calculating how much could be lost rather than how much could be gained.
This public market data comes from Hyperliquid: the contract with the highest absolute current funding rate is $XMR, with a positive rate of 0.0087% per hour, approximately 76% annualized, and a 24-hour price increase of 4.98%. A positive funding rate means longs pay shorts.
My judgment is that this is more like a holding cost alert and should not be directly interpreted as a bearish signal. ⚠️ There are three risk points: if longs hold positions continuously, fees will accumulate; shorts, even though they receive fees, may still incur losses due to price increases; the approximately 76% annualized rate is just a conversion of the current rate, not a locked-in return, and changes in the funding rate, even turning negative, will alter the ledger.
For ordinary traders, a practical risk control habit I recommend is: before trading, include the stop-loss price, estimated funding fees during the holding period, and slippage all in the same maximum loss budget, rather than focusing only on the stop-loss price. For contracts with such high funding rates, how much stop-loss do you usually set per trade, and do you also factor in the funding fees?$BTC BTC is now at 80600, with more short orders hanging above than long orders below.
From the liquidation map, if it rises to 81384, about $152 million in short orders could be liquidated; if it falls to 79368, the total long orders are only $110 million, and they are farther away. One side is about 700 points away, the other more than 1200 points.
At the 81384 level, just the 100x short orders amount to 29.37 million, all high-leverage orders opened close to the current price. With low volume over the weekend, a few hundred points can sweep one side. Let's first see which side, 81384 or 79368, gets hit first.Next week is the "final battle" before the midterm elections: Federal Reserve meeting + Q3 earnings reports concentrated outbreak. A simple recap of the live broadcast views by Little Cat:
1. Federal Reserve: Most likely to remain unchanged. Although last month's inflation exceeded expectations, officials previously stated it "will not have a direct impact on the next meeting."
2. Trump/US-Iran: Iran has sent a second peace signal, already at its last gasp; Trump said "oil prices will fall from high levels after the war ends," the US-Iran farce may be coming to an end.
3. Focus on US stocks:
$AMZN: Regardless of earnings results, it is recommended to pay attention. The seasonal low from July to October and the rise from November to January next year come from the Christmas Q4 e-commerce peak season, currently at a short-term low.
$DELL: Squeezing NBIS space, Nvidia has cooperated with Dell; Dell is also one of the first companies to issue TRUMP children's account stock funds, optimistic in the short term after Trump's favorable policies take effect.
$SPCX: The "big rocket" is currently priced reasonably, with promising earnings and business direction, strongly related to TRUMP; tech stocks may have a significant rebound next week, can prepare to layout $BTC
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ Arthur Hayes sold another $2.73 million worth of ENA
Since yesterday, he has transferred a total of $28.81 million worth of coins to exchanges, converting back to 14.15 million USDC, with most already executed.
The list of assets sold is very telling: ETH, ENA, UNI, ETHFI, AERO, PENDLE — all altcoins he publicly favored in the previous round.
The timing is also notable. A few hours after his large sell-off, the market briefly dropped below 80,000, and now it has bounced back to the level where he sold.
There is something worth pondering here: after he sold, the price returned to the starting point. This means the drop was caused by liquidity being pulled out, not a narrative collapse.
When watching a big player reduce positions, the most valuable insight isn’t whether to follow the sell, but how the price moves after the sale. If within a week the price returns above his sell point, it indicates strong support; if it doesn’t, it means this is just the beginning.
I will be watching two things: how much position he still holds that hasn’t been converted, and whether the trading volume of these altcoins continues to shrink.一周前还在0.012附近徘徊，24小时内最高冲到0.32，随后回落至0.0498——$IRYS这轮走势把“逼空”两个字演绎得淋漓尽致。24小时跌幅53%，但相对低点仍翻了几倍。真正值得追问的不是涨了多少，而是谁在为最后一棒买单。 链上数据指向一个清晰逻辑：资金费率长期为负，空头越堆越多，价格突然拉升触发连环清算，有报告称24小时内超过2000万美元的空头仓位被强平，被迫买盘进一步推高价格。空头出清后买盘消失，价格自然回落。这是一场典型的流动性猎杀，而非基本面重估。 市场主流叙事停留在“逼空”层面，但可能低估了两件事。第一，小市值叠加极端负费率的组合本身就是结构性陷阱——做空看似顺势，实则是在为多头提供燃料，$IRYS的走势证明空头在错误的时间站在了错误的一边。第二，价格垂直拉升时追多，本质是在接最后一棒，因为推动上涨的是清算引擎而非持续买需。 更值得关注的是后续供给压力。有报告提到下一轮代币解锁即将到来，这意味着当前价格区间面临新增流通量的考验。0.045成为短期关键观察位：守住，则市场进入消化期；跌破，则波动远未结束。 可引用的判断：在负费率加小市值的结构里，空头不是交易者，而是燃料Meta delivered a clean revenue beat and constructive guidance; Tesla beat numbers but the stock was punished (high expectations + auto + heavy AI/robot spend).

Did this shake you up yesterday?
Now it's over 88,000, barely moving in 24 hours, but it hasn't been calm in between: it first surged close to 85,000, then selling pressure pushed it down, even briefly dropping below 80,000 during the session. Bulls were wiped out of 400 million dollars in a few hours. Finally, it was pulled back to 88,000. Honestly, this back-and-forth sweep is more exhausting than a one-way drop.
The capital flow isn't cooperating either; spot ETFs saw over 700 million outflows combined on Thursday and Friday, with Thursday marking the largest single-day outflow since June.
My current view: treat 80,000 as a contested level, not support. The area from 84,000 to 85,000 was just taken down, and I won't chase until it stabilizes above that. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ difficult now might be that even though customers are urging for deliveries, they still have to restrain the impulse to expand production.
SK Hynix previously discussed increasing capacity and maintaining capital expenditure discipline together. It doesn't sound very exciting, but I actually think this statement is worth remembering.早盘刷到这条链上数据时，我盯着屏幕愣了两秒。 八家交易所的储备一起涨，真的是大家在往里面冲吗？ 先把事实摆清楚：八家平台 tracked reserves 从约 2219 亿美元升到 2402 亿，账面多了 183.3 亿。但其中 158.5 亿只是价格抬上去的估值幻觉，真正新增的币只有 21203 枚 BTC，而且几乎全落在 Binance 一家。更微妙的是，Binance 自己增了 25155 枚，另外七家合计反而少了约 3950 枚。 这个结构比总数有意思得多。表面看是储备普涨，拆开看却是单点堆量、其余小幅流出，情绪上更像分歧阶段而不是启动阶段。价格贡献占了新增储备的八成以上，说明账面繁荣里真正的新买盘没那么多，场外资金还在试探，没有全面转向风险偏好。 偏多的解读也有：大额 BTC 往头部平台集中，往往意味着交易意愿在升温，一旦现货买盘跟上，ETH 和主流山寨容易先被带着修复，节奏上会是先龙头后扩散。但风险同样清楚：如果这些币是用来做对冲或准备卖出的，那储备上升反而是压力在积聚，价格一松动就容易变成抛压，山寨的弹性会先被抽走。 我自己的判断是，现在更像情绪从冷转温的过渡段，不是派$APR drew two strokes on today's 4H K-line, the first being a textbook false breakout.
At 05:30, the 15-minute candle surged from 0.0264 to 0.0318; at 06:00, the 1H candle touched 0.04399 with a volume of 9.03 million USD; by 07:00, it was pushed back to 0.0278, retreating 37% from the high, closing below the starting point of the rise. The second stroke happened after 10:00, this time without turning back. At 13:00, the 1H candle had a volume of 24.72 million USD, 42 times that of the same period the previous day. The highest was 0.0549, now around 0.040, having fallen more than 20% from the peak.
Three numbers: 24-hour volume is 2.18 billion APR; open interest rose from 870,000 USD to 2.54 million, nearly 3 times; the top 20 buy orders total less than 11,000 USD. OKX has no APR spot, only perpetual contracts.
CoinGecko market cap is 17.2 million, FDV 42.7 million, current price only 5.7% of the ATH $0.7396; Coinbase spot APR/USD also reached a high of 0.0548 today. The one-year unlock just passed on October 23, yet the price has risen from 0.0247 that day to now.

Can you still chase a perpetual contract without spot backing?France’s 10-year yield reaching about 5.14% and moving above the US equivalent is notable because it puts fiscal credibility back into Europe’s market pricing.

#FrenchBondYieldsTopUS [South Korea's Crypto Tax Postponed for the Fourth Time, Will the 22% Tax Rate Be Delayed Again?]
South Korea has finally relented this time. The cryptocurrency income tax originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027, was reported by Korean media on October 25 to have been postponed again by a decision from the presidential office. Under the current plan, annual crypto asset gains exceeding 2.5 million KRW are subject to a maximum comprehensive tax rate of 22%.
This has already been delayed three times, and now it is being rescheduled again for a simple reason—the data systems of exchanges and tax authorities are not adequately prepared, and it is difficult to fully obtain transaction records from overseas platforms and DEXs. Moreover, the U.S. plans to join the crypto asset information exchange framework CARF only by 2029. If South Korea imposes taxes earlier, domestic users may face stricter information tracking, while cross-border transactions could suffer from enforcement gaps.
For Korean investors, the delay means temporarily less tax burden concerns. The most direct beneficiaries are local Korean traders. The presidential office's statement does not mean the legal amendments are finalized; the final outcome depends on the tax law review results in November. If the new law is officially passed, it will truly take effect; otherwise, the current arrangement for taxation in 2027 remains the benchmark. $BTC To pour some cold water first, when I see a large long position opened, I don't directly take it as a bullish signal. Core Trader 14 just opened a long on $HYPE with 10x leverage, holding 3,333 tokens, with a nominal value of about $253,700. My judgment is: the risk of this trade is more worth monitoring than the direction; a large amount doesn't mean the judgment is more accurate.
I have two concerns. First, 10x leverage amplifies timing errors: roughly, ignoring fees and keeping position size constant, if the price moves about 5% against the position, the loss would be about half of the initial margin; the actual liquidation price depends on the margin mode. Second, the monitoring only shows this long position, without explaining if there is any hedge or how long it is intended to be held. Translating the actions of a single address into a clear bullish conclusion lacks evidence. When facing a reverse market, the most painful situation is often those who add leverage following the direction but haven't figured out how to exit.
Of course, the other side might be right; my bearish bias doesn't mean I oppose every long. If the price continues to strengthen afterward and the pullback can be contained, I will reduce my suspicion of this long; these are my observation conditions, not a market that has already happened. Are you long or short? Regarding this 10x long position, which do you value more: the directional judgment or the ability to withstand adverse volatility, and why?$SOL
Last night SOL dipped to a low of 98.62, breaking below the 100 mark once again. It has climbed back now, with OKX currently at 101.91 and a 24-hour high of 102.77.
There's a small contrast: calculated from the start of today in UTC+8, it has risen by two points from 99.77 until now; but calculated on a rolling 24-hour basis, it actually dropped by 0.04% from the 102.31 opening. The same coin on the same day, but different calculation methods give opposite results, so now when I check the market, I first ask myself which method I'm using.
The only decent news is that Solana Company has been included in Hong Kong's seventh batch of strategic enterprises, the only blockchain company to enter this year. I mentioned this in my previous post, and looking back, the same applies — status does not equal funding.
The fee rate is still negative, and the open interest hasn't moved for days. The 100 level has been broken through several times but bounced back, indicating buyers below; after buying, it softens, indicating buyers are not in a hurry to push it up. It's grinding within this range, so I'll keep watching.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ The previous full 1-hour period rose 14.92%, but the current price has already fallen below the low of that hour. According to OKX public data at 14:18 (UTC+8), $APR perpetual contract is quoted at 0.04293 USDT, with a rolling 24-hour increase of 66.78%, ranging from 0.02508 to 0.05485.
During that full hour, the price rose from 0.04559 to 0.05239, with a trading volume of approximately 22.87 million USDT, an increase of 33.18% compared to the previous period; the current price is now below its low of 0.04376. The rapid pullback after the peak indicates intensified high-level turnover, so the volume and price increase in a single hour should not be directly interpreted as a trend continuation. The total perpetual contract trading volume over the last 24 full hours is about 71.32 million USDT.
OKX currently only offers APR-USDT-SWAP, with no spot cross-confirmation. The open interest snapshot is about 57.26 million APR (approximately 2.47 million USD), with a funding rate of about +0.0378%; a positive funding rate increases the cost of long positions, but a single-point open interest cannot determine the direction of new positions.
If in the following full hour the price rises back above 0.04376, with trading volume recovering and open interest no longer expanding rapidly, I will continue to observe for recovery; if it remains below this level, with increased volume and still high open interest, then be cautious of concentrated leverage withdrawals.

Peter Schiff says the next support for BTC is at 75,000. Killa says the higher low after the weekend breakout is holding above 74,000. bitbank says the range between 80,000 and 85,000 will continue before the FOMC. Three price points, with a difference of 11,000 from lowest to highest, and everyone seems quite confident.
I tested it myself: OKX current price is 80,657, 24-hour high is 81,070, low is 79,220. This morning the news even shouted a breakthrough of 81,000, but now it has already pulled back over 400 from that morning high. It's still more than 6,000 dollars away from Schiff's 75,000.
I used to like drawing support levels too, but after drawing many, I found these lines are mainly to boost one's own confidence. When it really falls, there's still a 1,000-dollar gap between 75,000 and 74,000, and no one knows if it will hold. I did take a closer look at the midterm election data: in the past four election cycles, BTC dropped 72%, 65%, 52%, and 27% respectively, each time less severe than the last. Voting is on November 3.
So I just listen to the price points and keep my position more honest than my words. Around 80,000 I won't move; I'll let it choose its direction first.
#10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ 韩国总统办公室在10月25日决定，推迟原定于2027年1月1日生效的加密货币所得税。这已经是这项政策自2020年立法引入以来的第四次推迟，原本的生效时间已从2022年一路延后。 按照原计划，韩国将对虚拟资产转让或出借的年度收益，在扣除250万韩元基础免税额后，征收22% 的税（含地方所得税）。但这一纸政令，让一切再次回到了原点。 为什么又推迟了？ 表面上的理由是“税务基础设施不完善”。但更深层的原因，指向了一个被反复提及的结构性矛盾：公平性。 韩国执政党议员Park Min-gyu提出的修正案，直接将征税时间与OECD的加密资产报告框架（CARF）挂钩。核心逻辑是：美国要到2029年才会加入CARF，在此之前，韩国税务机关无法从美国交易所获取韩国用户的交易数据。如果韩国在2027年就开征，那么只在韩国本土交易所交易的用户将被“精准征税”，而通过海外交易所（尤其是美国平台）交易的投资者则可以继续游离在监管之外。这会造成事实上的税负不公，也是反对声音中最有力的论据。 另一个无法忽视的因素是民意与政治压力。韩国政府官员明确表示，这项政策“影响多达1The wreckage from the weekend's leveraged flush tells a narrower story than the headline numbers suggest. $BTC pierced $80,000 at 22:15 with a heavy-volume candle, bottoming at $79,773, while $ETH broke $2,350 in the same window. Roughly $200 million in positions were liquidated inside fifteen minutes; across 24 hours the toll reached $812 million and 225,000 traders, with longs accounting for $668 million. That is not a bear market repricing — it is the mechanical hunting of leverage. No single🟢$UNI Falling below $7 means bearish? The most interesting thing is here: the price is dropping, but the protocol is still upgrading! Are those cutting losses now really thinking it through?
Brothers, this UNI pullback is indeed fierce; those chasing highs are trapped, those bottom-fishing are buried, and market sentiment is at rock bottom. But on October 22, Uniswap officially launched Aggregator Hooks, integrating 7 external liquidity sources. The key is not how fancy the name sounds, but that some trades completed through external platforms can now bring protocol revenue to Uniswap and participate in the UNI burn mechanism.
Look at another detail! Data from October 24 shows UNI added 2,295 new wallets in a single day, the highest since November 2022. The price is falling, yet new addresses are increasing—this divergence is worth continued observation. Of course, wallet growth doesn't necessarily mean funds are buying in, nor does it confirm a bottom.
📊 How to watch key levels
Currently, around $6.50 is an important level to watch; only if it holds and shows a stop in the decline structure should a rebound be considered; above, first watch $6.80–$7.00, and after stabilizing there, look near $7.30. If it effectively breaks below $6.50, be cautious of further decline; don't be reckless.
Personally, I lean toward a medium-term recovery opportunity for UNI. The logic is simple: the protocol is competing for trading entry points, the fee mechanism continues to expand, and the token value capture has new imaginative space.

As of October 25, BTC spot ETF buying remains unstable. The apparent positive weekly net inflow masks structural fragility: BlackRock's IBIT is the sole supporter, while other funds generally experience outflows, and institutional absorption is not solid.
On the funding side, for the week ending October 23, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs had a combined net inflow of about $301.2 million, ending two consecutive weeks of outflows. However, IBIT alone had a weekly net inflow of $565.7 million, while other funds combined had net outflows of about $264.5 million. In terms of timing, the first three trading days saw cumulative inflows of $1.0747 billion, followed by a single-day outflow of $635.6 million on Thursday (the largest single-day outflow since the end of June), and continued outflows of $137.9 million on Friday, erasing over 70% of the early-week inflows in two days.
On October 25, Bitcoin briefly surpassed $81,000, but the gain was very limited; HTX data showed $80,968 with a 24-hour increase of only 0.04%. This slight rise occurred against the backdrop of two consecutive days of large ETF outflows, appearing more like a technical stabilization rather than a stabilization driven by incremental funds.
In the short term, the key is whether IBIT inflows can be sustained and whether outflows from other ETFs narrow. The next macro variable is the Federal Reserve's policy meeting from October 27 to 28, where interest rate path expectations may directly impact ETF fund flows.$UNI
Still declining after the rebound, whose benefit should DeFi valuations focus on first?
In this morning's spot snapshot, UNI's 24-hour price change was -0.84%, ranging between 6.521—7.035 USDT.
Protocol transaction volume, net fees, and token economic rights should not be conflated into a single metric. Price moving away from the low point does not mean the value capture mechanism has improved, and a busy business does not necessarily benefit holders equally.
If verifiable fee growth creates token demand through a clear mechanism, then valuation judgments can be raised; if the rights remain unchanged, one cannot expect an inevitable rebound based solely on the price drop. Electrum 4.8.3 前版本高危漏洞：一次对“信任模型”的精准打击 10月24日，比特币老牌轻钱包Electrum发布了4.8.3版本，修复了一个已在野外被利用的高危漏洞。官方确认收到两起攻击报告，其中一名用户在通过RBF提高手续费时，资金被发送到了攻击者地址。 这个漏洞的技术链条，恰恰击中了轻钱包架构中最脆弱的一环：对服务器的不设防信任。 Electrum是轻钱包，自身不存储完整区块链，交易历史和广播都依赖服务器。恶意服务器可以拦截用户刚广播的交易，并在钱包历史中插入一笔向攻击者地址付款的冲突交易。关键在于，旧版客户端在展示这笔未确认交易时，没有验证输入签名，直接将其显示为正常待处理交易。当用户对这笔“假交易”使用RBF提高手续费时，钱包会对这笔伪造交易进行签名，资金就此流向攻击者。更隐蔽的设计是，攻击者生成的地址被刻意设置为与用户原定收款地址末尾四位相同，利用用户核对时的视觉惯性来蒙混过关。 4.8.3的修复方式直接堵住了这个缺口：未确认交易进入本地历史之前，先验证其输入签名是否属于本钱包的UTXO。签名验证前置，伪造交易根本无法进入展示环节。 专家视角：这不是“钱包被盗”SpaceX's surge ignites enthusiasm for tech stocks, but SanDisk in the storage sector carries potential risks worth noting. Its core flash memory business's recent price hikes are more about production cuts to support prices rather than a surge in downstream demand. Most of the incremental storage for AI servers is captured by high-end storage manufacturers, while SanDisk has a relatively high share in consumer-grade storage, limiting its flexibility. If revenue and gross margin in the earnings report fall short of market optimistic expectations, it could easily trigger a sell-off. Tech earnings rotation is not a broad rally; some stocks take over, while others use sector heat to offload shares. SanDisk is a key stock I am cautiously bearish on. #Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 An experienced arbitrage trader got liquidated, and he says this time it really wasn’t his fault.
He only opened short positions on Binance, with the program set to automatically reduce positions at 4 times the liquidation price, keeping margin up to 10 times.
Triple insurance, but it all failed. The $IRYS contract price can be over 50% more expensive than the spot price, and there’s no hard cap.
He said when entering the market he saw a 5% positive premium, thinking it was the corpse of previous shorts, but it turned out to be a trap at the start.
Arbitrage is about probabilities, but the platform sets the boundaries. When probability is on your side, you make small profits; when boundaries are breached, you go to zero in one shot.Over 210,000 BTC positions liquidated, with total market liquidations exceeding 800 million. Amid the rapid deleveraging crash in the market, this "double short, one long" strategy combo has completely won big.
Directly reviewing the hardcore data: 30x full-position short ETH (average price 2383), gained +45.96% profit; 20x isolated short BTC (average price 81662), steadily secured +27.90%. Meanwhile, reversing to long BNB (average price 731), aggressively grabbed +48.69% against the trend.
Market strategy and related info:
$BTC currently at 80,524. ETF net outflow of 774 million over two days, institutional buying temporarily receding. The 80k level is a fragile balance after leverage clearing, not absolutely safe; trend-following shorts remain the preferred resistance position.
$ETH currently at 2,347. Although whale funds rotate, Ethereum ETFs have seen four consecutive weeks of net outflows (about 220 million), heavy selling pressure. Must hold above 2,415 for the trend to truly strengthen.
$BNB’s strength amid the big drop is mainly due to high-frequency activities within its ecosystem (like Launchpool), creating a capital safe-haven clustering effect, making it one of the very few assets able to independently force a short squeeze.
The current main theme is "deleveraging." Follow the trend to short weak mainstream coins or precisely target strong independent coins; blindly bottom-fishing is absolutely not recommended. #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ An experienced arbitrage trader said after liquidation: This time it's not because I'm bad, but because the rules are incomplete
He was doing long-tail asset arbitrage, and this round was completely shut down, with funds withdrawn.
The risk control was originally designed as follows:
Short positions only opened on Binance to avoid quirks of smaller exchanges
The program automatically reduces positions at 4 times the liquidation price
Margin is reserved up to 10 times before liquidation
Sounds conservative enough. But all three measures failed:
First, the contract price can be more than 50% higher than the spot price.
Second, there is no hard cap on price deviation, theoretically allowing unlimited positive premium.
Third, when he entered, there was already a 5% positive premium, which he thought was the corpse of previous shorts, but it was actually a trap at the start.
The main point here is not who is right or wrong, but that the term "extreme market conditions" is misused. A 50% positive premium is not extreme; it means the rules did not define boundaries. Any mechanism without a hard cap will inevitably be tested to its limit.
He mentioned another platform where, when the index deviated too much, they directly risk-controlled the market maker and compensated users. The difference is not technical, but whether they are willing to cover this layer for users.
For arbitrageurs, this is a reminder: you calculate probabilities, the platform sets boundaries. You make small profits when probabilities are in your favor, but when boundaries are breached, you lose everything at once. The risk-reward ratio is unequal from the start.
Next, I will watch two things: whether the positive premium of this asset narrows, and whether similar platforms will add a hard cap on price. These two are more useful than watching bullish or bearish opinions.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ 能提振，但市场真正关心的是：利润增幅还能不能跑赢已经很高的预期。SK海力士将于10月28日公布2026年第三季度财报，并在当天上午9点举行电话会议，时间均为首尔时间。 这份财报不只看AI故事讲得好不好，更要验证需求有没有继续变成出货、价格和利润。 ════════════ 📊【第一道关：Q2把比较基准抬得太高】 SK海力士Q2营收79.3187万亿韩元，营业利润60.5426万亿韩元，营业利润率达到76%，三项都创下单季历史最佳。 这样的基数意味着，Q3即使继续增长，也未必自动等于利好兑现成功。 财报前最容易误判的地方，就是只看“同比增长很猛”，却忽略市场早已在交易AI存储的高景气。真正影响短期定价的，往往是实际利润与一致预期之间的差，以及管理层对下一季度的口径。 ════════════ 🔍【第二道关：HBM4要看三个细节】 • 【出货】HBM4已在Q2量产出货，下半年进入扩产阶段，Q3需要验证爬坡是否顺利。 • 【价格与利润率】出货增加只是第一步，高附加值产品占比和定价能否继续支撑利润更关键。 • 【后续指引】公司此前预计Q3#三星Q3利润预增近8倍，完整财报即将揭晓
"Samsung's Profit Soars Eightfold; The Real Battle for Computing Power Has Just Begun"
Samsung just released its Q3 earnings guidance, with operating profit expected to surge nearly eight times year-over-year.
The numbers on paper look intimidating, yet the management unusually issued an apology letter to the market. The core bottleneck lies in Nvidia's supply chain, with high-bandwidth memory validation continuously delayed, and the wafer foundry lines still losing a lot of money each quarter.
The price hike in bulk storage only provides temporary relief. Once the full financial report breaks down each business segment, we'll truly see how this tough battle for high-end computing power is being fought. $BTC A $40 billion pot, SpaceX wants to use a "special purpose entity" as a vacuum bag to seal off the debt and slow-cook it—off-balance-sheet financing, which basically means putting the spiciest chili into another sealed jar, so the soup served on the books looks clean and clear, while the kitchen is already so spicy that the range hood is smoking.
The main ingredient of this dish is Nvidia chips, the broth is AI infrastructure, and the heat is the sentiment of the credit market. The problem is, the flame under this AI credit stove has been flickering lately; investors keep testing the temperature with thermometers, re-evaluating the project's risk seasoning. Goldman Sachs is negotiating the menu and pricing with Apollo-led investors in the front hall; the talks haven't been canceled, but the fire is unstable, so the broth won't thicken. The financing cost and the final amount raised directly determine whether this AI dish is stir-fried on high heat or slow-cooked on low heat—if the fire is low, the chips have to queue to go into the pot.
The scenario I'm most familiar with is this: the main course hasn't fully arrived, but the seasonings are already spread across the table. The $40 billion is the main pot, but it deliberately doesn't want diners to see the spicy oil at the bottom. The off-balance-sheet structure is that layer of aluminum foil, which can cover the books but not the flavor—the debt is still the same debt, just served on a different plate. When the fire really flares up, the foil can't block it; the first to cook in the kitchen is the person closest to the fire.
Looking at the linkage with the US stock token $xMSTR, this is the logic of the side dish: when the main dish stirs the pot, the side dish flips along. When the main ingredient's heat fluctuates, the side dish gets restless first because its plate is smaller, flips faster, and is most easily splattered by oil droplets. Treating it as the main dish is amateurish; treating it as seasoning to test the saltiness is barely professional. As for leveraged contracts? Those are the extra spicy chili peppers—adding a pinch enhances aroma, adding a spoonful burns through the intestines. Kitchen fires are never the main ingredient's fault; it's always because too many chilies were added.
If financing pricing talks stall, it's like the supplier and the chef are stuck at the door—the menu is written, but neither wants to be the first to reveal the cost price. Whether this $40 billion pot can really be cooked depends not on how pretty the menu looks, but on whether the stove's fire is stable, the pot is sealed tight, and if anyone is willing to pay for this layer of foil. No matter how thick the foil is, it can't withstand the steam when the lid is lifted. #spacex40baifinancingUnder the surgical light, the phase 3 data was just prematurely unveiled, yet the cardiac monitor first reported a 26% ventricular tachycardia—this positive result was not a hemostat but instead tore open the blood vessels of the expected pricing. Moderna and Merck's Keytruda combination cancer vaccine reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 42% and the risk of distant metastasis or death by 38% in resected stage IIB-IV melanoma, statistically significant with the primary endpoint achieved; pathology reports showed clean surgical margins. However, the market first experienced a sharp drop in price: intraday fell over 26%, closing with a loss of about 17.6%. This is not an efficacy lesion but an overdose of optimism injected during preoperative talks; the depth of anesthesia had already infused the "positive data" into the price, and the early disclosure merely cut open old expectations, triggering reperfusion injury.
I am used to viewing the market as a heart: a price plunge is just a symptom on the monitor, the real cause to find is the hemodynamic root. The phase 3 positive is "histological improvement," but the stock price had surged earlier this year, meaning all optimism was already loaded as volume preoperatively; the earlier the data is disclosed, the more it resembles an intraoperative frozen pathology report given prematurely, with the surgeon not yet sutured and the anesthesiology department first discovering "expectations are full, compensation insufficient." At this point, the stock price drop is not tumor recurrence but a rejection reaction of the pricing system to "known positives"—vasodilation, sudden drop in afterload, loss of perfusion pressure. The linked movement of this US stock token is not an independent new lesion but more like adjacent organs sharing the same circulation: when risk appetite contracts, blood flow first withdraws from the frontier target back to the great veins. Diagnosing solely based on 42% and 38% would miss the core contradiction: the trial has already met the primary endpoint, and the market is re-evaluating "how much optimism remains unpriced," not "whether the drug works." Early disclosure at this moment is not incremental information but a reopening of old stitches, letting excessive expectations continue to bleed in the wound. The real lesion lies in expectation management, not tumor shrinkage; the 26% on the monitor is just compensatory withdrawal, with hemodynamics speaking before pathological conclusions. #modernaearlydisclosure#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ ETF资金反复就是诱多陷阱
Brothers, first share your views. Don’t treat the weekly net inflow of 300 million as a free pass. This round of ETF fund fluctuations is not a sign of stable underlying buying; it’s purely short-term funds rapidly cycling in and out like a meat grinder. Anyone who takes this pulsing in-and-out as a reversal signal is just taking the bag.
Look at Bitcoin’s current situation. In the first three days, over 1 billion rushed in, then in two days, more than 700 million was dumped out. Is this long-term capital entering? No, it’s emotional trading pockets picking each other’s pockets. The community is still hyping turnover as not a retreat, but Bitcoin has broken below both the 80,000 level and the 50-day moving average, with clear pressure on the chart. Funds come in fast and run even faster, indicating huge disagreement among big institutions at this level, unwilling to hold their positions to the death. The trapped positions above are layered thickly; a few billion going back and forth can’t chew through that.
Now look at the macro side, which is the most fatal. CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, the October FOMC is coming soon, and the high-interest environment is tightly suppressing. Whenever US Treasury yields spike, risk assets tremble. The market treats a pause in rate hikes as a positive, but as long as December’s tone doesn’t soften, incremental funds won’t dare enter on a large scale. Without fresh liquidity to support, the ETF funds are like rootless trees.
In summary, the current market is just emotion-driven garbage time. Don’t take ETF data as gospel to bottom-fish; Bitcoin is a bull trap until it firmly holds key levels.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ SK海力士Q3利润大概率靠HBM3E与DRAM涨价支撑，HBM4尚在爬坡，对三季度盈利贡献有限，它的价值更多是锁定明年AI存储订单、守住技术领先地位。$ORDER These past two days have been absolutely crazy 😵
Yesterday afternoon it took off around 0.035, and at 18:00 it shot straight up to 0.103, more than triple. Then what? The highs kept getting pushed down: 0.0836, 0.078, 0.0733, and even the bounce at noon today only reached 0.064 before being slammed back down. Current price is 0.0568, still showing +60% in 24h, but on the 1-hour chart, it’s a textbook case of lower highs.
My plan is to wait for a retracement before shorting, not chasing:
Direction: Short
Entry: 0.0615–0.0630 (the upper shadow area of the candles at 12 and 13 o’clock today, both times it failed to hold above)
Stop loss: 0.0662, if it breaks above this, the structure is invalidated
Target 1: 0.0525
Target 2: 0.0505 (the platform where it bottomed twice this morning)
One pitfall to mention: the current funding rate is about -0.14%, shorts are very crowded, and short positions have to pay each period. Also, with this kind of coin, a single spike can wipe out a bunch of stop losses. So I’m only using a small position; if it doesn’t reach the entry zone, I won’t trade. If it directly breaks above 0.0662 with volume, this plan is void and I won’t flip to chase longs.
For these altcoins after a surge, do you wait for a pullback to go long, or like me, wait for a retracement to short?
Just my personal view, not investment advice, DYOR
#ContractStrategy #Altcoins #ORDERFour load-bearing walls simultaneously sealed off the maintenance access today—JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley have blocked third-party agents from entering the firewall zone of customer accounts.
I've been in this industry for thirty years, and what I've feared most is never ugly blueprints, but someone taking the owner's master key and arbitrarily altering the load-bearing structure. A bank's account system is like that building: the authentication system is the main load-bearing wall, login credentials are the master key, and every fund transaction is a pipeline drawn from structural nodes. What happens if you hand the master key to a construction crew that hasn't read the structural plans? They might remove a structural column and then tell you it was just decorative molding.
The banks' explanation is actually quite straightforward: the existing authentication system can't distinguish between "people" and "programs," nor can it verify the authorization signature for each step. Translated into architectural terms—that means the access control only verifies faces, not work orders; the blueprints were approved for three floors, but they secretly built up to five floors without anyone reviewing the reinforcement. Even trickier is the question of responsibility: if the building collapses, is it the design institute, the general contractor, or the outsourced team that entered with the key? The lifelong liability clause doesn't even account for such a role.
So they chose the dumbest but most stable approach: sealing off third-party entry points and only opening interfaces within the scope of structurally verified calculations. Access permissions, explicit consent, and responsibility definition—none can be missing. This is exactly the principle I follow when reviewing blueprints: if one signature is missing, the entire blueprint is sent back for redrawing, no exceptions.
The linkage with $xLLY in the news is essentially the same structural logic replayed on another site: the foundation is financial trust, the load-bearing walls are identity authentication, and how high the building can be constructed depends on how finely the authorization granularity is polished on each floor. It's not about whose exterior rendering looks flashier, but whose node detail drawings can withstand repeated verification. An ecosystem that clearly designs "who can enter, which floor they can access, and who signs off on each step" will have scalability that isn't just empty talk on a rendering; if access control and work orders are mixed together, the faster you build, the closer you get to a systemic collapse.
This cut is not conservatism; it's a refusal to build on an unverified foundation. #usbanksrestrictaiagentsThe cold front that swept over SK Hynix and Micron's sounding curves on October 23rd caused the readings to rebound immediately—but note, clear skies after the front do not mean the rainy season is over; surface pressure is still rising.
The signal from Western Digital is on a climatic scale: major customers are already discussing supply demands for 2030 to 2031. This is not a short-term forecast for the next 72 hours; it is a decade-level adjustment in circulation patterns. The warm and moist conveyor belt of intelligent computing clusters continues to transport moisture to the storage segment, and cumulonimbus clouds on the demand side are still growing taller, with sufficiently low cloud-top temperatures and considerable potential. But tall clouds do not necessarily mean rain will reach the ground—the precipitation efficiency depends on cloud base height, dry layer entrainment, and the organization of updrafts.
SK Hynix has paused the review of its sub-brand's initial public offering and U.S. stock listing plans. In my jargon, this is like a temporary suspension of upper-air reports from an observation station, but the sounding instruments haven't been replaced, and the balloons haven't been withdrawn: it clearly states that growth outlook and investment demand remain unchanged. In other words, the circulation background hasn't shifted, only the reporting rhythm has been adjusted. The market, however, tends to interpret a single suspension as system dissipation, which is a typical visibility misjudgment.
The real three isobars are tightening: capital expenditure, supply expectations, and valuation. The steeper the pressure gradient, the stronger the wind speed, and the more irrational the gusts of price. The current market is in a transition zone repeatedly tugged between a high-pressure ridge and a low-pressure trough, warming during the day and cooling by radiation at night, with a large diurnal temperature range. Bulls feel the sunshine; bears focus on the dew point difference—two readings from the same chart.
Back to that critical question: can demand growth translate into stronger profitability? This is a conversion problem between cloud base height and surface precipitation. Orders are echo intensity; gross margin is the millimeters in the rain gauge. I've seen too many cases where the echo tops reach 15 kilometers but no rain falls. Once capital expenditure outpaces revenue realization, it's a dry thunderstorm—loud lightning with disastrous ground impact. Conversely, if supply discipline is maintained and product structure improves, this rainfall can replenish soil moisture.
What deserves the most attention now is not the rebound magnitude in the headline, but the convergence point of the three lines: the incremental cloud of capital expenditure, the time window for supply release, and the dew point temperature corresponding to valuation. Only when all three are met simultaneously will a stable precipitation echo band form; meeting only two results in scattered convective bubbles that come and go quickly.
When a front passes, the wind arrives first, then the rain. The current price is the wind. #aimemorydemand🔥Sunday Morning Session｜ETH Plummets! From 2433 Down to 2314, 2300 Level is the Watershed
$ETH
This week ETH has clearly underperformed BTC, dropping straight from 2433 to 2314, breaking through the 2400 support directly, now facing the critical psychological level at 2300.
The decline stems from two main points: BTC breaking below 81000 triggering a crash; $93 million long positions liquidated, wiping out leveraged positions in one sweep.
However, on-chain data reveals a contrasting picture: exchange ETH reserves sharply decreased by 170,000 in 48 hours, with a whale directly withdrawing 246 BTC to swap for 8,286 ETH, accumulating against the trend.
Market sentiment is extremely bearish in the short term, but large mid-term funds are quietly buying. Holding 2300 would indicate a deep correction; if broken, the next stop is directly at 2200.
$BTC 80300｜Intense Tug-of-War at 80000 Level 📈
A few days ago, it was still oscillating around 82000, with a low probe to 80191 breaking through 81000. A whale transferred 4000 BTC to exchanges, releasing short-term selling pressure concentratedly, but fortunately, funds stepped in to support at 80000.
Market expectations for next week's rate decision show an 84.5% probability of rates remaining unchanged; at this stage, avoid heavy speculative bets.
$RE 0.37724｜On-Chain Insurance Token Slightly Rebounds 😴
Relying on the on-chain risk compensation fund pool, it followed the broader market with a slight 1.7% rebound today.
Current price is 0.377 with a trading volume of only $310,000; liquidity is very thin, so gains are quick but pullbacks are sharp. For this token to develop an independent trend, a large-scale chain liquidation event needs to occur; for now, it can only oscillate with the broader market.Interesting, Kraken was criticized for questioning the source of funds for Monero withdrawals, publicly apologized, and withdrew the inquiry, but the personal 30-day rolling withdrawal limit is still only $1,500. This limit basically means the function is offline for a real XMR user, but today's XMR price increase fully shows that holders no longer rely on centralized exchanges. It should be noted that in this round of $BTC -36% (from the $126k peak) bear market, the privacy sector is the only track that has shown an independent trend. Yesterday, while almost all mainstream assets were declining, $ZEC also stubbornly rose, with its market cap surpassing HYPE to rank 10th.
However, Ajian wants to remind friends that even within the same sector, there are differences in quality. According to current data, ZEC's market cap is less than twice that of XMR, but both daily trading volume and turnover rate significantly lead XMR. The market still tends to pay a premium for compliant privacy rather than unlimited privacy, so the pricing power in this sector currently remains in ZEC's hands. If you want to judge the direction of the privacy narrative, just look at ZEC's capital flow.What storage manufacturers find most difficult now might be that even though customers are urging for deliveries, they still have to restrain the impulse to expand production.
SK Hynix previously discussed increasing capacity and maintaining capital expenditure discipline together. It doesn't sound very exciting, but I actually think this statement is worth remembering.
It's easy to get support for increased investment when there is a shortage, but the real difficulty is judging how much demand will be willing to take delivery at a good enough price after the new capacity is put into production.
Especially for advanced storage, the investment is not just a single equipment purchase order. After factories, production lines, and supporting facilities are put into use one after another, depreciation and other costs will also enter the financial statements. Good profits now do not mean every expansion later will yield the same returns.
I still am optimistic about the storage demand brought by AI, but I don't want to directly extend "customers are currently short of stock" to "any amount of capacity increase can be absorbed."
Going forward, I will pay attention to whether companies explain which products and customers the new investments correspond to, and whether the expansion pace leaves room for adjustment. Advancing with real demand is more reliable than fully planning long-term projects at once.
This round of the market has already provided storage companies with a good business opportunity, and I hope they use this opportunity for a longer time. Earning a little less now and expanding more steadily may be better than having all capacity built in a few years but then starting to desperately cut prices to compete for orders.
#AI需求支撑存储市场，芯片股行情反复 $ETH $BTC $SOL 225,000 traders suffered liquidation, with $702 million in liquidation funds all concentrated on the long side.
On October 24, the total contract liquidation across the network was $846 million, of which long liquidations accounted for $702 million, and short liquidations only $144 million, with a long-to-short liquidation ratio close to 5:1.
This was not the usual market two-sided washout but a one-sided slaughter targeting the longs.
The largest single liquidation on that day occurred on Binance ETHUSDT, with a single position liquidated for $11.85 million. By category, BTC liquidations were $236 million, ETH liquidations $183 million, and 225,000 people received liquidation alerts on the same day.
On the same day, the so-called "100% win rate whale" address in the circle chose to buy the dip against the trend. Since entering on the 24th, this address has accumulated losses of $39.9 million, with the account turning from profit to an unrealized loss of $30.02 million, and the legendary win rate directly falling to 77.7%.
Even the deified whale cannot withstand a one-sided market any better than ordinary traders entering for the first time.
Behind the $846 million liquidation funds, the vast majority of longs held the same idea: after such a drop, a rebound should come. Instead, the next candlestick took away both their bottom-fishing conviction and margin.
Every bottom-fishing attempt in a downtrend is not a bottom signal on the liquidation heatmap but just a new batch of longs entering, becoming chips waiting for liquidation in the subsequent market. #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？

Has the smaller drop eased the supply and demand issues?
In this morning's spot snapshot, WLD's 24-hour price change was -0.57%, ranging between 0.4576 and 0.4846 USDT.
The narrowing 24-hour decline may also result from rolling benchmark changes and does not directly prove that selling pressure has cleared. Registration, activity, and token demand for identity products are different variables; product popularity does not automatically translate into supply.
If effective usage begins to generate sustained demand, the basis for recovery will increase; if only the number of users grows while demand remains unchanged, price pressure may still persist.
