$BNB Some people are treating Futu enabling BNB deposits and withdrawals as a big positive, but after looking at the announcement, I think this news basically has no impact on the price. On the 23rd, Futu announced that qualified professional investors in Hong Kong can deposit BNB to its crypto account via BEP20 or withdraw to whitelisted addresses. The two restrictions are very strict: only for PIs, and only via BEP20. Actually, Futu launched BNB spot trading back in July, using its licensed PantherTrade for the order book; this time they are adding the deposit and withdrawal channels. BNB is currently priced at 747, up 1.7% in 24 hours, and the market reaction is just like that. Brokerages are gradually extending compliant channels, which I am optimistic about in the long term, but don’t expect any single news to pump the coin. I don’t hold BNB myself; I’m just watching their territorial battles with interest. #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? Bitcoin is about to lose the 80,000 mark. Yesterday was quite scary: Previously, whenever US Treasury yields dropped with rate cut expectations, crypto would rise. This time, with a sharp drop in US Treasury yields, crypto, US stocks, and gold all fell. Why? Everyone got scared and rushed to buy the safest US Treasuries. No one is bottom-fishing; everyone is fleeing. What will happen next? After losing 80,000, the next stop is around 77,600. Those wanting to bottom-fish should wait; many are stuck above, and even a slight rebound triggers panic selling, so it can’t rise. Next, we’ll watch: Friday’s data and next week’s Federal Reserve meeting. In summary: This wave is everyone running away, not an opportunity. Don’t rush to catch the fall; wait until it stabilizes.Three tokens, three very different kinds of stress. The market's attention is fixed on this week's violent two-way swings, but the more instructive drama sits beneath the surface in $STRK, $NEAR and $BCH, where price action is telling three separate stories about leverage, resilience and the last line of technical defense. Start with $STRK, the clearest case of a market still working through the aftershock of a collapse. The token fell another 13% to 0.0546, extending a seven-day drawdown to 43%$ZEC Grayscale's ZEC fund had a net purchase of $14.23 million on the 22nd, marking the third consecutive day of net inflows. On the 20th, it gained $1.6 million, and on the 21st, $15.2 million. Since listing, the cumulative amount is nearly $200 million. However, ZEC itself has dropped in the past 24 hours, opening at 1259, now around 1222, with a low touching 1187, down about 3%. Money is flowing in, but the price is falling; I've been watching this divergence for a while. That day, only four altcoin ETFs had net inflows: XRP, HBAR, NEAR, and ZEC. Solana and Hyperliquid are still bleeding out. ZEC perpetual funding rate is roughly zero, with $134 million in positions, yet no one is rushing to go long. I tend to think this is big money slowly accumulating during the pullback—ETF subscriptions are real share creations. Of course, inflows don't mean an immediate price surge; it can take a long time. On this side, I side with the inflows. #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? $DNA Observation: Fundamental Collapse Yet Surging Against the Trend, an Extremely Heavy Controlled Harvest Scheme The price action of DNA truly exemplifies the term "controlled." From an initial 0.3184, it was smashed down to 0.1704, washing out a wave of bulls, then directly V-shaped reversed to surge 26%, currently at 0.2178. The most surreal aspect is the extreme divergence between news and market: the news clearly states "StandX is scaling back operations," meaning the project's fundamentals are substantially deteriorating. Yet NeoSoul, under the pretext of "first batch airdrop," cooperates with the whales to forcibly pump the market. MACD shows a golden cross below the zero line, momentum looks strong, but this is a typical high-control new coin scheme. 1. The market cap is extremely light (trading volume only 43 million), so whales can easily spend a little money to draw perfect candlesticks. 2. Using "airdrop expectations" to generate hype and attract retail investors to chase and take the bags. The project is about to scale back operations, the underlying logic has already collapsed. This pump is most likely the main force exploiting the last residual hype to create liquidity for distributing chips, or to inflate market cap before the airdrop settlement. This kind of scheme completely detached from fundamentals is purely a whale's cash machine. No matter how high it pumps, without real business support, it will ultimately end with a big bearish candle.Yesterday we were liking each other's posts in Moments, and today I wake up to find the other party has read but not replied. This is BTC on October 23rd. First, let's talk about today's market: BTC touched $85,000 yesterday but was slapped back down. Today it hovers around $81,600, down about 3% in 24 hours. ETH is around $2,400, dropping even harder than the big brother. The fear and greed index fell directly from 68 to 50, going from passionate love to neutral in one day. The whole network liquidations are about $430 million. The above data is public for October 23rd; platform quotes may have time differences, so refer to your own exchange. There are three reasons for the decline: First, US tech stocks led the plunge; the Nasdaq dropped about 2.6% on Thursday. AI valuations are being reassessed. The crypto market has been following the Nasdaq these days; when the leader sneezes, the followers catch a cold immediately. Second, oil prices are ruthless; Brent crude rose to $111-$112. The Middle East situation hasn't cooled down. Inflation concerns rise, and all risk assets are suffering alongside the cold war. Even gold has dropped significantly, indicating a real liquidity drain. Third, funds are retreating; the US spot BTC ETF had a net outflow of about $635 million in one day. Money that just flowed back a couple of days ago was more than half withdrawn in one day. Also, large whale addresses are transferring coins to exchanges. Transferring to exchanges doesn't necessarily mean selling, just like taking out a suitcase doesn't mean breaking up, but it does make people uneasy. What about tomorrow? There is no US stock market rhythm on the weekend, so the crypto market will return to its own pace $APR is bearish. The current price is 0.02587, exactly stuck on the unlocking day of 10-23, and the intraday weakness is not over yet. The past week has been the toughest window in the backtest; historically, about three-quarters of similar events underperform the market in these seven days, and $APR hasn't escaped this time either. After today, the backtest cannot provide a stable direction, so the bearish bias is not based on the unlocking itself but on the order book. In 24 hours, 112 long positions were liquidated, while only 18 short positions were closed; the side consistently taking hits is the counter-trend longs. Open interest remains only 10 million USD, and trading volume is almost empty, with very thin support—any selling pressure can push the price down. The intraday low of 0.02533 is very close to the current price and will likely be tested again. The chart shows lower highs and a bearish moving average alignment, consistent with this judgment; RSI at 35 is not weak enough yet to support a decent rebound. Conditions to turn bullish: a volume surge to reclaim and hold the intraday high of 0.02807, indicating that the unlocked chips have been absorbed and invalidating the bearish view. $XAU 1. Turkey (TRY): -18.5% 2. Egypt (EGP): -16.2% 3. Libya (LYD): ~ -15.2% 4. Iraq (IQD): ~ -13.6% 5. Ethiopia (ETB): ~ -7.6% Lacking reserve assets independent of the US dollar system. When the dollar tide arrives (Fed rate hikes and dollar capital repatriation), these nations are heavily exposed to its impact. Their fiat currencies have depreciated steadily against the US dollar over the past year. See if your country is on the list.$IRYS Observation: Korean stock funds overflow, Upbit listing effect ignites localized frenzy IRYS surged 67% in a single day, soaring directly from 0.0244 to nearly 0.038, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding 220 million USD 15-minute RSI soared to 82.29, CVD shows a net inflow of over 6.2 million funds, the market shows extreme short squeeze frenzy. The core underlying driver is very clear: South Korea's largest exchange Upbit announced the launch of IRYS trading pairs in KRW, BTC, and USDT Recently, the Korean stock market (KOSPI) semiconductor and other heavyweight stocks suffered heavy losses, with risk aversion sentiment combined with extreme demand for high-volatility assets, causing local funds to accelerate rotation into the crypto market. This typical "kimchi premium" effect allows newly listed tokens to instantly receive massive local liquidity injection However, caution is needed as the rapid surge faces heavy selling pressure above; without support from the macro market (BTC/ETH), a market driven purely by localized fund sentiment is prone to severe pullbacks when profit-taking occurs. The overall market is still awaiting the final outcomes of the FOMC and midterm elections; this kind of independent speculative coin rally led by local Korean funds is more of a localized celebration under a zero-sum game.Watch whether CapEx guidance stabilizes or keeps marching higher, whether Meta can clearly quantify incremental revenue and margin from AI beyond vague claims of better engagement, and how the Class C issuance is actually used and at what dilution cost. This is not anti-AI. It is pro-capital discipline. The companies that win the next decade will be the ones that treat compute as a scarce, expensive input with measurable payback periods, not an unlimited option funded by hope and share issuanceBitcoin previously surged and then retreated, briefly falling below $81,000. However, despite macro pressures and market sell-offs, some institutional figures and traders remain optimistic about a rebound. Recent bullish views are as follows: Coinbase Institutional published that chip stocks have experienced double-digit declines over the past two weeks, marking the second significant drop since June, while Bitcoin has shown more resilience during both adjustments. They believe the market no longer views Bitcoin as a leveraged proxy for tech stocks. Renowned trader Doctor Profit stated that he sees strong support for Bitcoin in the $81,000 to $82,000 range and considers it a local bottom, with the next target still at $94,000. Yi Lihua believes that with the US midterm elections approaching and Trump facing unfavorable circumstances, market volatility will increase. However, the judgment of a crypto bull market trend remains unchanged, expecting the market to quickly rebound after the decline and start a new upward movement $BTC #交易之声:你的经验值得被听到 In Anthropic's IPO filing, what I find more concerning is that it simultaneously relies on cloud giants to provide computing power and assist with sales. According to the confidential draft reviewed by the media, about 47% of sales in 2025 will be completed through Amazon and Google's cloud channels. Note, this does not mean these two companies themselves purchase nearly half of the services; many transactions are still ultimately from end customers. But channel dependency is still worth noting. Cloud platforms can bring enterprise customers and reduce procurement and deployment resistance; on the other hand, Anthropic has to purchase a large amount of infrastructure services from these partners, and their relationship has already penetrated multiple operational aspects. This kind of cooperation can drive growth but also makes negotiation terms important. How the channel splits revenue, how computing power is priced, and who controls customer relationships will all affect how much profit the company ultimately retains. I don't think relying on big platforms is a weakness. Enterprise customers naturally want to procure AI services through familiar cloud providers, and it makes sense for the company to do business according to demand. However, when facing huge long-term computing power arrangements, investors still need to ask how much of the future revenue growth will remain with Anthropic rather than continue flowing to channels and infrastructure partners. The more popular the product, the more important it is to clarify this issue. What you buy at IPO is the company's profit rights; you can't just assume that because Claude is easy to use, all the revenue created by the entire industry chain will belong to it. #AnthropicIPO草案披露巨额算力承诺 There are reports that Grayscale has opened 10 crypto ETFs to investors all at once. Is this new capital for BTC, or will it divert existing funds? First, the news. Key points: Grayscale has opened 10 crypto ETFs to investors, covering multiple crypto assets but with conditions attached. Market at the same time: BTC at $83,383.1 (24h -1.37%, past week +1.17%); ETF latest single-day net inflow $30.2 million (fifth consecutive day), 5-day net inflow $211.2 million, 10-day net outflow $72.2 million; Fear & Greed Index 68; USD 101.71, Gold 4,128.3, S&P 500 7,757.17. Next, the capital impact. Product expansion has two opposite effects on BTC: one is "new capital"—more compliant products lower the allocation threshold, bringing incremental funds; the other is "capital diversion"—the same money spread across 10 products, possibly reducing inflows to individual BTC ETFs. The key is the total scale, not the popularity of a single product. Implications for BTC: In the short term, Grayscale's expansion has limited direct impact on BTC (BTC remains the most mature and largest compliant channel among crypto assets). But it reflects a trend: the ETF-ization of crypto assets is spreading from BTC to more varieties. In the long term, this will bring the entire crypto market into the traditional asset allocation framework, which is neutral to slightly positive for BTC. I will be watching four indicators next: first, the actual fundraising scale of Grayscale's new products; second, BTC ETF's I don't play with high leverage. When I usually see this kind of news, I tend to put aside the price sentiment first. Anyway, I hold without moving, but holding long-term also requires looking at how the project's fundamentals are arranged. This time, the dYdX Treasury SubDAO completed its seventh periodic staking review, adjusting about 25.87 million $DYDX: approximately 10.72 million tokens previously repurchased but not staked were included in delegation for the first time, and about 15.15 million existing staked tokens were redistributed. The total delegated amount increased from about 90.04 million to about 101 million. My judgment is that this signals ongoing treasury management execution, which is somewhat positive, but it cannot be directly regarded as new buying pressure. The 10.72 million tokens were already purchased before; what changed this time is their usage. The 15.15 million tokens are just repositioned existing stakes, not new stakes. Interpreting all 25.87 million tokens as new demand would likely overestimate the significance of the news. Looking at the long term, I am more concerned about the basis for the redistribution and whether the delegation is overly concentrated. Periodic reviews help continuously examine arrangements, but just an increase in total volume does not reveal whether business demand and long-term value are improving in sync. I will continue to observe this part. The news can be digested slowly, but leverage may not give people the luxury to wait. For friends holding long-term, do you value this new delegation more, or the destination and reasons for the redistribution of existing stakes?When free cash flow turns negative and future commitments harden into multi-hundred-billion-dollar rigidities, the market stops giving the benefit of the doubt. Credit markets are already reacting, with CDS spreads hitting records. Equity follows when dilution or higher-cost debt enters the picture. The bull case remains coherent. Its AI spend primarily feeds the ad machine and experimental agents — an approach that works until the returns lag the cost of capital and the locked-in lease obligations become binding. We’ve seen versions of this movie before in crypto, where overbuilt mining capacity and L1 infrastructure never found product-market fit at the scale of the spend; in DeFi, where TVL chased incentives while unit economics stayed negative; and in traditional growth stocks that treated CapEx as an infinite optionFor a company whose economic engine remains overwhelmingly advertising, every incremental dollar of AI infrastructure is a bet that better recommendations, Muse agents, and engagement will eventually expand ad margins enough to cover the depreciation, energy costs, and opportunity cost. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon can directly monetize compute through their cloud businesses. $META cannot. Crude oil quietly surpassed 100! $BZ $CL Today, crude oil rose again, with the core trigger still being the ongoing tension in the Middle East geopolitical situation. The market is worried about potential disruptions in the energy supply chain, and funds are rushing ahead to price in supply risks. The Strait of Hormuz is a key global crude oil transportation route. As long as the situation does not ease as expected, oil prices can easily be pushed up. Coupled with market expectations of tightening inventories later, this directly drives the rebound and strengthening of oil prices. Many people might wonder what rising oil prices mean for the crypto space; the logic here is actually not simple. Sustained oil price increases will push up overall inflation expectations, causing the market to reassess the Federal Reserve's pace of interest rate cuts. Once inflation pressure rises, expectations for rate cuts tend to cool down, and U.S. Treasury yields strengthen accordingly. Risk assets like $BTC and $ETH will face liquidity tightening pressure, which is a macro signal leaning bearish. Of course, it’s not all one-sided negative. Some funds treat Bitcoin as an inflation hedge and choose to allocate during inflationary phases. These two forces will tug at the market. In other words, rising oil prices are a double-edged sword, causing more short-term market disturbances and amplifying volatility, but not necessarily leading to a one-sided trend. Going forward, two key points to watch: First, whether the Middle East situation will further escalate and continue to push up oil prices; Second, the correlated changes in U.S. Treasury yields. #中东原油供应风险再起,油价持续走强 Future commitments, including leases and non-cancellable contracts for data centers, energy, cloud capacity, and Reality Labs hardware, now sit around $825 billion, up sharply from about $700 billion just a few months earlier. Much of this sits off-balance-sheet or has not yet commenced. On top of that, the company authorized a new class of non-voting Class C shares, classic equity currency designed to fund growth while preserving Zuckerberg’s control. $META #MetaAISpendingConcerns $BTC $ETH $SOL The mainstream market trend has basically ended this time. Yesterday's drop caused many large whales to liquidate. The current mainstream trend is really much weaker compared to the last bull market. This wave has been a continuous consolidation and shakeout. Last time, when BTC surged to 87,000, the consolidation and shakeout lasted for a whole month. Currently, ETF funds are flowing out, but there might be a rebound tonight with funds flowing back in. Yesterday, BTC saw an outflow of 400 million, ETH an outflow of 111 million, which caused the price to drop. We'll wait and see how the US stock market opens tonight and remain cautious for now. If there is a suitable opportunity, Chai Ge will pin a notification on the homepage. #ETF单日流出超6亿美元,BTC价格能否企稳? #BTC现货ETF重回流入,ETH资金持续流出 #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? This morning I said I would handle $BTC first during the day. Finished it in the morning: cut it in half. Position reduced from 6,192.87 to 3,106.93, margin from 418.69 to 209.62. The loss was also halved, from -68.53 to -28.14. Then I watched the page waiting for one thing—the liquidation price should have moved down, right? 76,942.548, it didn’t move at all. In isolated margin, position halved, margin halved accordingly, both shrank together, ratio unchanged, the line just stayed put. I originally thought reducing position could push the line away, that was a misunderstanding. So is this half reduction meaningless? Yes. If the price drops by one dollar, the loss now is half of before; at the moment of liquidation, I lose half as much. But the line is still waiting at 76,942.548, the price is more than five points away from it. To push it away, there are only two ways: add funds, or reduce to zero. I don’t plan to add funds today. So for the remaining half position, I will act before it hits that line, not wait for it to act for me. $SOL and $ETH have the same structure, the line won’t move away just because I don’t watch it. The $TSM incident was taken away by the line, this time I want to get ahead of it. Honestly: the most valuable lesson in the past half month is that every action must first clearly see what exactly has moved. Reducing position moves the cost, not the risk line. #ETF单日流出超6亿美元,BTC价格能否企稳? There is an analysis that explains it very clearly: stablecoins have become quite mature for on-chain settlement, but to truly enter offline merchant cash registers, there is a "consumer layer" hurdle in between. On-chain transfers only require Gas and block confirmation, but cash registers involve ISO 8583 messages, acquiring institutions, risk control, chargeback rules, foreign exchange... Merchants simply don't want to know what Gas fees are. So the practical path is: rely on payment card networks to cross this hurdle, packaging crypto balances into the familiar experience of "swiping or tapping a card." This is also the fundamental value of the U Card — it is not "just another flashy method," but translates on-chain assets into a language merchants can understand. When I select a card on PayAll, I pay special attention to how extensive its acceptance network is, because that is the key to "whether it can really be spent."$CT The rigging here has already fled 😰The latest 24-hour liquidation data is here: $BTC liquidated 167 million, the largest in the market, with longs accounting for 58.7%. The structure is very clear—price oscillates repeatedly above 80,000, and those chasing longs get cut back and forth; a slight rebound triggers long liquidations, and a slight drop triggers more long liquidations. This is not caused by shorts dumping, but by the choppy consolidation. Bulls have not given up, indicating the market still has heat, but from a leverage perspective, all are floating corpses; the positions of those chasing highs are not clean, and the rebound can be dragged down anytime by their stop-loss orders. $ETH liquidated 88.5 million, with longs at 54.6%, slightly milder than BTC. Interestingly, the liquidation structure is similar to BTC’s, indicating that ETH is not an independent market being dumped but purely taking hits along with BTC’s oscillation. The tone for this week remains unchanged: ETH itself has no direction; it follows BTC’s moves. It’s better to watch BTC’s leveraged positions than to trade ETH’s. $ZEC is the only large red area in the market, with 15.94 million liquidated dominated by shorts. This is very eye-catching—all over the network longs are being killed, but here shorts are being liquidated. Recall my long position opened at 1400, which seemed absurd at the time; now seeing it struggle repeatedly near 1000 with shorts liquidating in large numbers shows that someone is firmly supporting the bottom. This is the pattern of a speculative coin: when shorts feel secure, it’s time for a breakout.A 3x ETF perp down about 35% from the top will test anyone's patience. $SOXL flushed to 77.99 on heavy volume and is now bouncing into the 7 EMA near 86.7. The 21 EMA around 92.5 is still overhead and the trend still points down, so this is a bounce until proven otherwise. A 4h close above 92.5 would be my first sign of a shift. A new low under 77.99 and the bounce is over. Are you treating this as a bounce or a bottom?#SK Hynix Q3 earnings report is coming, can HBM4 boost profitability? Regarding Meta's earnings report, I think the market is no longer just concerned about how much money was made. Q3 revenue grew 26% year-over-year, with advertising business still strong, but free cash flow turned negative, with a quarterly outflow of about $2.1 billion; At the same time, $META adjusted its full-year capital expenditure forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion and announced the creation of a new class of non-voting shares to provide more room for future financing and acquisitions. This is quite interesting 🧐 On one hand, the advertising business is still making crazy profits, on the other hand, AI infrastructure investment is increasing, even a cash cow like Meta is starting to prepare for long-term financing. What's even more interesting is that the new shares have no voting rights, meaning the company can gain more financing flexibility while maintaining existing control arrangements. I think what’s truly worth paying attention to in this earnings report is that AI competition is evolving from a battle over computing power and models to a competition over capital structure and financing capability. Money can indeed buy computing power, but when exactly the money will be earned back is the answer Wall Street increasingly wants to hear now. #MetaQ3营收超预期,巨额AI投入引发担忧 @OKX星球 "Strong AI demand doesn't automatically equal frothy valuations. The Solidigm IPO cancellation is a healthy reality check that investors are getting more selective about which parts of the AI supply chain actually deserve premium multiples." #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings Liquidations of $475 million, ETF outflows of $635 million, while whales quietly withdrew $770 million worth of tokens Today's market has retail investors being crushed. In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw $475 million liquidated, with long positions accounting for $435 million. $BTC longs liquidated $135 million, Ethereum longs liquidated $74 million. Those chasing longs got taken out again. The ETF side didn't show any mercy either. Bitcoin spot ETFs had a net outflow of $635 million in a single day, with BlackRock's IBIT alone withdrawing $254 million. The inflows of over half a billion dollars from a few days ago were all given back in one day. But on-chain players are playing a different game. A whale deposited 949.7 BTC (worth $77.55 million) to Binance and Deribit, clearly intending to sell; meanwhile, 40 new wallets have withdrawn 9,458 BTC (worth $771.5 million) from the market maker Wintermute since October, directly removing it from circulation. One side is dumping, the other hoarding—whales are fighting among themselves first. $ZEC is also restless. Two whales opened nearly 30,000 ZEC 10x long positions within 15 hours, worth $37.57 million, openly betting on the NU7 upgrade; meanwhile, wallets suspected to be linked to Bitkub co-founders sold $26 million worth of ZEC to buy BTC. Retail investors are being liquidated, ETFs are fleeing, whales are dumping on exchanges while secretly withdrawing and hoarding tokens. Don't just buy the dip when you see a drop, and don't chase the rebound either. Wait for these players to settle their scores before deciding which side to take. SK Hynix remains the highest-quality pure-play on AI memory. The numbers will be large either way. The qualitative signals on execution and competitive intensity will matter more. Structural demand is intact. The question is how cleanly the next generation scales and who captures the incremental share. #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings The bigger picture For traditional markets, this is the purest listed expression of AI memory intensity. Strong numbers plus confident 2027 guidance would reinforce the multi-year supercycle. Softness on HBM4 ramp or customer mix could pressure a sector already off its highs. #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings Overnight US stock drama! AI faith faces sell-off! The Nasdaq plunged 2.6%, with Meta as the core trigger. Meta's revenue clearly exceeded expectations, but free cash flow turned negative for the first time in over a decade, and it plans to issue new shares to finance AI computing power. The market is starting to doubt: with continuous heavy spending on AI, when will it actually turn a profit? The market is extremely polarized: Nvidia, AMD, and Micron all plunged together, as the AI chip chain is abandoned by investors. Only Apple hit a new high against the trend. Apple's strength lies in not recklessly spending money and having stable cash flow. The AI rally no longer relies on storytelling; now the market wants to see solid cash flow returns. Just exceeding revenue expectations can no longer support high valuations. Recently, AI hardware and storage sectors need to be cautious of pressure. #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? Where the friction appears Shipments have run behind earlier hopes. Export data and analyst work (including Bernstein) suggest Samsung may have edged ahead on HBM revenue this quarter for the first time in recent periods. Back-end capacity and equipment timing also remain open questions, with some tool deliveries reportedly slipping into 2027. Peak margins are not automatic once ramp costs and yield realities hit. #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings SK Hynix reports Q3 2026 results on October 28. Consensus points to another record quarter roughly ₩77 trillion operating profit at ~78% margins. That would mark the sixth consecutive peak print, driven largely by HBM4 shipments into Nvidia’s Vera Rubin platform. This is no longer just an “AI demand is strong” story. It’s a test of execution and competitive positioning at the next technology node. #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings On November 3rd, with the US midterm elections approaching, everyone has started discussing the "election curse." $ETH Midterm elections affect risk assets mainly due to policy uncertainty. Currently, $BTC has been widely accepted by traditional financial channels and increasingly resembles a high Beta risk asset. The policy expectation changes brought by the midterm elections will to some extent also transmit to BTC. So, how has BTC performed during past midterm elections? $ZEC I pulled data on BTC market performance around the midterm elections over the past four 4-year cycles and found it is not a case of "always falling during elections." First, in the 30 days after the election, there is intense short-term shakeout. You cannot be sure whether BTC will rise or fall after the election; this is just a variable, and each 4-year BTC cycle differs in market size, acceptance, and macro conditions. After the 2018 election, BTC nearly halved in a month; whereas 30 days after the 2010 election, it surged by 30%. Second, one year after the election, it almost always rises. In the past four elections, the price one year after was always higher than on election day. The lowest increase was +23.0% (2014), and the highest reached +1580.0% (2010). Even in 2018, when there was a short-term crash, extending the holding period resulted in a positive return of 45.2% one year later. Therefore, the so-called "curse" may hold in the short term but has no support from a long-term perspective. #中东原油供应风险再起,油价持续走强 $BTC is hovering near 81,400, gasping for breath around the $80,000 lifeline, with an overnight low of 80,900, while $ETH is stuck at 2,395, having previously dipped to 2,360. What is truly worth watching is not the price itself, but the ETF capital flow plummeting from $526 million to $23.2 million within a day, a 95.6% drop — this is not sustained buying, but a one-time pulse. While the market still comforts itself with the narrative of “ETF entry,” the funds have already voted with their feet. The transmission chain of this round of decline is brutally clear: Middle East tensions push oil prices higher, inflation expectations remain elevated, and risk assets collectively come under pressure. $BTC slid from 84,300, with short strategies realizing over 3,000 points; $ETH simultaneously dropped nearly 120 points. The direction is consistent, and the rhythm unbroken. But what most overlook is that the cliff-like contraction of capital flow is the real driver of this adjustment — the $526 million single-day ETF inflow was like a stimulant, and the next day’s $23.2 million immediately exposed the fragility of demand. The crowd misreads the single-day surge as the start of a trend, which is the biggest current pricing deviation. On the daily chart, 82,500 is the dividing line between bulls and bears. If it can’t hold above this, all rebounds are just corrections, not reversals. Below, 80,900 is short-term support; once broken, the 80,000 whole number level will face a direct test. $ETH’s 2,400–2,430 zone also forms a rebound selling pressure area, 2,360 is the short-term defense line, and 2,320 is the next threshold. Capital flow, geopolitical risk, technical structure.The recent international situation is extremely tense. An oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz "hit a mine" and caught fire. The Israeli Prime Minister ordered to "overthrow the Iranian regime," and Iran's new defense minister bluntly stated they are ready for the "fourth round of war." According to the simple understanding of ordinary people: when the cannons fire, gold is worth a fortune! At times like this, shouldn't gold and silver just take off? But actually, when the cannons fire, oil flies first; once oil flies, inflation expectations explode; when inflation expectations explode, the Federal Reserve becomes hawkish; when the Fed is hawkish, gold has to kneel. $XAU $ARB Market downturn: Why is the pressure on scaling tokens more pronounced? In this morning's spot snapshot, ARB's 24-hour price change was -6.56%, ranging between 0.17762 and 0.19301 USDT. The decline exceeds that of BTC and ETH, indicating higher risk discounting in this sector. Network activity may grow, but if the token lacks a clear benefit path, new usage might not be enough to absorb selling pressure. Next, watch whether the relative weakness against ETH can narrow. If the industry recovery continues to lag, the assumption of "natural recovery following the main chain" should be reconsidered.First, consider the worst-case scenario: if foreign currency digital payments become increasingly convenient while the domestic currency lags behind, Sweden might face the situation where the krona is gradually pushed out of everyday payments. When I see this news, what concerns me is who will bear the risk after payment habits shift. According to CoinDesk, the Swedish central bank is urging lawmakers to reconsider the necessity of issuing an electronic krona. Deputy Governor Per Jansson stated that if the krona lacks a convenient digital form, it may struggle to compete with digital payment tools that can be used cross-border. This is about reassessment, and there is still uncertainty before implementation. My judgment: this is more like a risk warning about payment sovereignty. Interpreting it directly as a positive for the stablecoin sector is a bit premature. ⚠️ I will watch two risks: if payment entry points migrate to foreign currencies, the usage space for the krona may be pressured; if ordinary users use foreign currency tools for payments but still calculate income and expenses in krona, there will be an additional layer of exchange rate exposure. Convenience does not mean the risk disappears. A habit from previous risk control work is to first clarify the loss scope. Ordinary people can unify related transactions into the domestic currency to check whether, after overlaying exchange rate changes and price fluctuations, they are still within an acceptable range. When encountering such policy news, how much stop loss do people generally set for single transactions, and is it calculated based on the holding price or the total account funds?France’s 10-year yield reaching 5.14%, alongside a roughly 175 bp gap to Germany, says the strain is not simply a broad rise in global rates: German and US yields fell as investors sought safety. That divergence puts fiscal credibility and political progress at the centre of the test. Wider bank-credit gauges warrant attention, but ratings decisions, budget talks and bank funding will show whether this remains a European stress point. #FrenchBondYields24YHigh Dogecoin's MVRV is only 0.74, what does it mean for long-term holders being stuck? Long-term holders of Dogecoin are still at a loss on paper. The 365-day MVRV is stuck at 0.74, which means that those who bought and held over the past year are on average down 26%. Compared to watching intraday charts, this number better reflects the real market situation. MVRV, simply put, is the current market value divided by the total cost basis of all holders. Greater than 1 means most people are in profit; less than 1 means most are at a loss. 0.74 means a significant portion of the coins are at a loss, and market sentiment is far from hot. Being underwater causes two forces. Deeply stuck holders are unwilling to sell at a loss, reducing selling pressure and causing coins to settle; but once the price approaches the cost line, many will rush to break even, making the rebound bumpy. So $DOGE at 0.74 is neither a bottom nor a top; it points to a stalemate where "no one wants to move." Watch two things going forward: whether MVRV can climb back near 1 on low volume, and whether on-chain active addresses are warming up simultaneously. The signal is only complete when indicators recover along with a return of popularity; relying on a single number to tell the story risks being proven wrong by the market.$SPCX Simplified Strategy Positioning: Not a core asset like NVDA, but a high-volatility thematic growth stock; only maintain an observation position, no base position. Current key points: Stock price at $144.75, dropped 9% in one day after 1.3 billion shares unlocked, about 36% retracement from the high, price-to-sales ratio at 87x, facing significant pressure on both shareholding and valuation. Short term: Do not chase or bottom-fish. Breaking below the previous low of $145 worsens the structure; the $155–$160 rebound zone is seen as resistance for reducing positions, not a buying opportunity. Medium term: Focus only on two things — the true profitability quality of the SI business after excluding incentive expenses; whether the free cash flow gap is continuously narrowing. An 830% revenue growth rate alone is not a reason to buy. Long term: Tesla merger is only an option; share swap dilution is a real risk. Do not increase positions based on rumors before official trading terms are released. Position discipline: Single holding ≤ 1.5%–2% of the portfolio, only use spot or ≤ 2x leverage. Do not hold losing positions, do not average down, do not chase more in the rebound resistance zone. In a nutshell: Put SPCX in the “continuous verification” drawer first, wait for the unlocking digestion, cash flow improvement, and merger terms to be finalized before considering upgrading the position. $CL The market's first reaction this time is to slam crude oil. But loosening production increase permissions doesn't mean more oil immediately; capacity implementation is a slow process, so the short-term supply pattern remains unchanged. The risk premium in the Middle East is still there, so the bulls really can't blindly push prices up like before. Therefore, my view is very clear: short-term bearish on crude oil. What do you think, can this production increase expectation suppress the Middle East risk premium? #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? #MetaQ3营收超预期,巨额AI投入引发担忧 #存储芯片股再度下跌,AI投资回报担忧加剧 SK Hynix Q3 Earnings Report Approaching: Can HBM4 Boost Profitability? On October 28, SK Hynix ($SKHYNIX) will release its Q3 earnings report, with market expectations for operating profit around 7.69 trillion KRW, potentially marking a sixth consecutive quarter of record highs. Citibank is more optimistic, projecting 8.13 trillion KRW, a 614% year-over-year increase. The key variable is HBM4. On the positive side, SK Hynix has secured about two-thirds of Nvidia's HBM4 supply share, with some institutions estimating close to 70%. HBM4 will officially start contributing revenue from Q3, seen as the critical engine for new profit highs. However, concerns are also concrete. Samsung's HBM4 yield rate has improved to about 80%, narrowing the market share gap. More importantly, some of SK Hynix's downstream HBM4 equipment orders have been postponed to 2027, next year's investment plans remain unclear, and some capacity has even shifted to general DRAM. Management's wording on expansion pace during the earnings call will directly determine whether expectations are revised up or down. The on-chain market is already pricing in advance. The tokenized product SKHYx has recently fluctuated between $150 and $170, with a 24-hour trading volume of about $4.6 million. When the Korean stock market is closed, on-chain contracts often serve as the first global capital response to the HBM4 narrative. On the trading front, the biggest risk on earnings day is not the numbers themselves but the gap between HBM4 expansion pace and high expectations. Do not chase based on headlines of "record profit highs" #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings Recent Q3 regression analysis from firms like Bernstein indicates a tight, intensifying race. While SK hynix's Q3 HBM revenue rose 11% quarter-over-quarter to $7.6 billion, data suggests Samsung may have temporarily overtaken them in total quarterly HBM revenue at $8.7 billion due to aggressive contract shipments and pricing variations.Brothers, ZEC has dropped to 1220, but this time the sell-off is due to leverage, not ETFs $ZEC $1,220 ZEC rebounded from the October 18 low of 1049 to around 1300, then was pushed back to 1220, down about 3.8% in 24 hours. From the late September high of 1698, the retracement is still around 28%. This drop is leverage actively retreating. ZEC futures open interest fell 12.45% in 24 hours to $2.37 billion, and volume also dropped 10.28%. Price down, positions down, indicating traders are closing leveraged positions. During the same period, long liquidations were about $2.01 million, shorts only $30,000; longs are actively conceding. But ETF funds are actually flowing back in. Grayscale ZCSH had net inflows exceeding $14 million on October 21 and 22 for two consecutive days, with cumulative net inflows rising to $183 million. The last three days have seen continuous net inflows, turning ETFs from selling pressure back to marginal buying. The NU7 date is locked in. Activation block height is 3,543,405, expected mainnet launch around November 5, with block time cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. However, the old Sprout pool will become completely invalid after the upgrade, so holders of old addresses must transfer before November. Technically, 1200 is the short-term lifeline; holding it means consolidation and accumulation, breaking below points to 1150. Discuss in the comments: with leverage retreating and ETFs recovering, which side are you on this time?👇 #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? It's very easy to find data to confirm any bias you want to hold about the market Bull market or bear market For example: You can argue using Q4 seasonality and the four-year cycle theory that from here the risk-reward ratio favors an upswing Or you can emphasize the historical performance of cryptocurrencies around the US midterm elections to argue that we will decline further Both sides can build a convincing argument by cherry-picking the right data But when you zoom out and focus on what's happening right now: - The US stock market has lost trillions in market value amid accelerated sell-offs - Asian markets have suffered significant tech-driven crashes - AI-driven cybersecurity risks are escalating, potentially causing severe impacts on global digital infrastructure - The US-Iran war is escalating, with the risk of further military action remaining a major uncertainty... especially now that Trump no longer has to worry about the upcoming election - The situation in Saudi Arabia and the broader Gulf region is deteriorating - US macroeconomic data is not as optimistic as many expected Yet, despite all these factors, $BTC still refuses to decisively collapse How easy is it to build a convincing argument that the market will significantly worsen from here if Bitcoin absorbs so much uncertainty without a major crash? Not saying this situation is impossible But ignoring $BTC's performance during this period and focusing only on bearish historical patterns is just as biased as blindly expecting Q4 seasonality to save us Today's Asian stock market situation is quite bleak. Obviously, the Asian stock markets are also undergoing a revaluation of risk assets centered around AI and semiconductors. Especially now, the high oil prices limit the space for central banks' monetary policies to rescue valuations. This clearly proves what I mentioned in Q2—that macro factors determine whether the money we hold is expensive or not. Now that money is expensive, traders are reluctant to easily pay for current valuations. This issue is vividly reflected in both Asian and US stock markets. Of course, with the AI narrative, the US stock market is still a bit stronger and more resistant to macro pressure. However, today's Chinese stock market is relatively divergent, and it is obvious that the funds supporting the market should be motivated. To improve the environment, relying solely on market support is difficult; the fundamental problem must be solved—energy prices must return below $110! #MetaQ3营收超预期,巨额AI投入引发担忧 Brothers, daily mainstream altcoin quick report $XRP $1.32 | $SOL $104.1 | $DOGE $0.0801 XRP 1.27 is the lifeline. Analyst Casi Trades points out that the short-term key support for XRP is at 1.27, corresponding to Fibonacci 0.618 and Elliott Wave 2 target zone. Holding this level and showing a lower shadow rebound is considered an initial bottom signal; if broken, the price could drop to 1.08-1.10 or even 0.87. On the upside, breaking through 1.65 is needed to confirm a trend reversal, with several hurdles at 1.35, 1.41, and 1.46. The 24-hour trading volume shrank by 27%, the drop was quiet, but selling pressure has not fully dissipated. SOL ETF funds are still withdrawing. The US SOL spot ETF saw a single-day net outflow of $8.515 million, with Bitwise BSOL alone losing $5.718 million, while Canary SOLC only gained $419,000. The price is around 104, the 7-day SMA is at 105, and the 50-day SMA is at 109.7, with five short- and mid-term moving averages all pressing overhead. DOGE is in a descending channel. The price at 0.0801 remains stuck within the downtrend channel since late September on the daily chart; today's rebound is just a fluctuation within the channel, not a breakout. Santiment data shows the 365-day MVRV dropped to 0.74, indicating deep unrealized losses for buyers over the past year, and selling pressure may be nearing exhaustion. #10月FOMC临近,美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数? 10月22日,费城半导体指数重挫6.72%,存储芯片板块成为重灾区。SK海力士($SKHYNIX )ADR跌超6%,闪迪($SNDK )跌近7%,美光科技跌4.6%,西部数据跌超7%,希捷科技跌近9%。这不是一次简单的回调,而是市场对AI投资回报逻辑的集中质疑。‌ 导火索来自$META 的财报。Meta第三季度营收利润均超预期,却同时上调全年资本开支指引,并披露未来支出承诺升至8250亿美元,自由现金流转为负21.2亿美元。五年期信用违约互换(CDS)价格升至历史高位,投资者对AI投资规模、融资需求和回报周期的容忍度正在快速下降。这一信号迅速传导至整个AI硬件产业链,存储芯片首当其冲。‌ 更深层的问题在于,存储芯片的涨价红利正在消退。过去一年,HBM和先进存储芯片供不应求,相关企业毛利率创下历史新高。但边际效应已经明显减弱:全球主要存储厂商都在加速扩产,三星、SK海力士以及中国的长江存储和长鑫存储持续加大投入,一旦新增产能集中释放,供给格局将发生根本性变化。长鑫存储在DRAM技术上的突破,进一步加剧了市场对竞争格局的担忧。‌ 摩根大通的数据提供了一个值得对照的视角:全
