40x short position, I see this message as reinforcing bearish sentiment, but it is not enough to prove it follows the trend. Arkham detected James Wynn holding about 0.24 $BTC short position, with a screenshot showing an unrealized profit of about $26, that's the fact.
I have three principles for trading trends. First, look at the market direction, not who placed the order. This short position only reflects his choice, it cannot confirm the direction for the entire market.
Second, leverage does not equal certainty; 40x amplifies profit and loss sensitivity, not the reliability of the judgment. Third, unrealized profit is not evidence of a trend; a screenshot is just a moment in time. If onlookers treat high leverage as a strong signal, I speculate it will amplify short-term bearish sentiment but may not increase the accuracy of the judgment.
The trend is the best friend; I still wait for market confirmation and do not follow celebrities' positions. Facing this kind of message, do you now use price structure, volume, or other methods to judge the trend?$BTC is now around 80,400, up +2.5% in 24h, but it basically stalled between 80,270–80,800 this afternoon, with no direction since last night's big bullish candle that squeezed out shorts.
Looking at liquidation data makes it clearer: TRdesk reports BTC liquidations of about $270 million in the past 24h, 95% of which were shorts, but only $9.1 million in the last 12 hours, and just $460,000 in the last 4 hours. Shorts that needed to be liquidated have basically been cleared out.
$ETH is similar, with $136 million liquidated in 24h, only $1.2 million in the last 4 hours, price at 2,418, not far from the 24h high of 2,450.
OKX perpetual rates for BTC and ETH are both 0.01%, leverage hasn't been rebuilt.
My view is that the fuel has burned out; next, it will rely on spot and tonight's US market ETF flows to push it. Without new volume, sideways movement is more common than further rallies.
$BTC $ETH The most fragile link was actually the batch of people in the early session who "didn't dare to take it." The reversal came so quickly—is it a shakeout or has the capital preference really changed? When I was watching the market in the morning, my first reaction was not excitement but tension. The news of the Democratic Party's victory suppressed the market; the Nasdaq once fell 2% intraday, BTC followed down, and that drop below 76,000 was just a breath away from 75,000, with everyone in the group chat talking about even deeper levels. At that moment, the most fragile was not the price but the support—those willing to place orders suddenly became fewer, and the selling pressure seemed particularly heavy. But the script did not follow panic. BTC sharply pulled back from the low, ETH rebounded in sync, and high-beta tokens like SOL and Koru also bounced back quite well. What I was watching was not how much it rose, but the speed of the pullback: the decline took half a day, but the recovery only took a short time, indicating that low-level chips were unwilling to let go, and the short squeeze component was very obvious. What the market was actually trading here was not the election itself, but "who is still willing to hold risky assets after the bad news has landed." The morning sell-off priced in some policy concerns in advance; once the index stopped falling and capital preference shifted from defense back to offense, the pace became very fast. After BTC stabilized, ETH and altcoins had the confidence to follow the rise; conversely, if BTC breaks the previous low again, high-beta tokens will be the first to be sold off. The bullish side: volume recovered at low levels, panic selling was absorbed, and sentiment shifted from one-sided to hesitant, which is usually the starting point for a short-term recovery. The risk is also clear: a rebound that is too fast can be overextended, and if the Nasdaq weakens again, today's lower shadow will be retested, and those chasing highs will become the new fragile link. There's something quite counterintuitive: BTC rose 7%, but contract open interest actually dropped 6%, and ETH even more sharply, down over 20%.
Prices go up, but positions go down. It's not that everyone is rushing to buy; it's that the shorts are giving up and closing their positions. Once the shorts exit, prices naturally get pushed up.
This kind of rise is fast but not solid. When real money comes in, open interest will rise together. Now the long-short ratio has dropped from 2.92 to 1.53, and the number of people daring to go long has halved. The fear and greed index just hit 50, meaning fear is gone but greed is still far off.
So I didn't chase this wave; I'll wait until it stabilizes at 80,000 before making a move. BTC pulled from 75,736 to 81,196 USD, a 7.2% rebound. Among the top 100 assets on the entire network, 84 rose, and the fear and greed index went from 34 back to 50.
But the futures market is sending a contrary signal. BTC futures open interest is 20.54 billion USD, down 6.30% in 24 hours; ETH is even worse, down 22.29%. The long-short ratio dropped from 2.92 to 1.53.
Price rising, open interest falling, and long-short ratio dropping all point to one explanation: the main driver of this rally is short covering, not new buying. Shorts giving up and covering pushed the price up, but the money driving it did not stay in the market.
$BTC market dominance is 58.55%, rising 0.12 percentage points in 24 hours, with capital preference still concentrated on Bitcoin. But rising dominance does not equal net inflow—altcoins fell more, so dominance can rise anyway. A healthy broad rally would see $ETH follow and dominance decline.
Politically, the Democrats took both houses of Congress, and the market worries the CLARITY Act legislation will slow down. But the already enacted GENIUS Act and strategic Bitcoin reserves will not automatically become invalid, and the ETF pathway does not depend on any individual. What changes is the speed, not the existence of the system.
Technically, 80,000 is a key observation level, and 82,600 is the next hurdle. One point to consider: short covering consumes selling pressure, it does not create buying demand. If the spot market does not catch up after covering, the ground beneath is empty.#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？
The market currently expects an increase of 65,000 jobs, with the previous figure at 29,000, better than expected, indicating that the U.S. job market has not yet shown a clear slowdown.
However, the context of this non-farm payroll is somewhat different. The Federal Reserve chose to pause rate hikes in October, with two officials even voting to continue raising rates. The market's expectation for a rate hike in December is already quite high.
If tomorrow night's employment and wage data remain strong, it may further reinforce the Fed's hawkish stance, putting pressure on $BTC, gold, and U.S. stocks.
$ETH $ZEC Heat dissipates, and the market falls into sideways consolidation
$PEPE is currently fluctuating around 0.000005.
After the previous theft incident triggered sell-offs, a fund swept in 45.08 billion tokens at once.
Simple calculation:
45.08 billion tokens × 0.000005, valued at about 2.25 million USD.
This large buy order of over 2 million USD quickly drove the coin price up in the short term.
The root cause of the difficulty in sustaining heat:
The market rally completely depends on this one-time buy order.
When this fund stops buying, subsequent transactions cannot continue, and the price quickly returns to the original range.
$TRUMP remains around 1.58, with no new funds entering on the voting day.
$UNI has been consolidating around 7 USD for a long time; the protocol fundamentals are profitable, but incremental buying continues to be absent.
The three targets show the same market characteristics: event-driven catalysts bring pulse-like rallies, but after the hype fades, there is a lack of follow-up buying.
Potential incoming funds are mostly still waiting for volume signals or new narratives to emerge.

#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ ADP data is so strong that I reversed and opened a small short position on $BTC — tonight's Nonfarm Payrolls will reveal the truth
ADP added 86,000 jobs, and the ISM Services Employment Index has risen for two consecutive months, directly crushing the market's expectation for tonight's Nonfarm Payrolls (60,000).
I have to pour cold water on myself first. Inflation is far from dead, the Fed held steady in October, and now the employment data is so robust, clearly showing the economy doesn't need saving. If tonight's Nonfarm Payrolls also beat expectations, the December rate hike expectations will surely soar. Once US Treasury yields rise, all risk assets will take a hit.
So I'm not stubborn; I opened a small short position on $BTC following the trend, with a cost roughly above 80,000. The logic is simple: with macro data like this, short-term bearish sentiment will definitely dominate. Bitcoin is already shaky around the 80,000 mark, and once the negative data is digested, the probability of a downward smash to take some profit is very high.
But I won't get carried away. The position is small, no leverage, this is just a short-term trade betting on macro data. If tonight's Nonfarm Payrolls unexpectedly disappoint and the market rallies sharply, I'll immediately admit my mistake, stop loss, and exit—no stubborn holding.
This is all my personal market feeling and plan, not investment advice.
What do you think? Will Bitcoin smash through 80,000 following the trend tonight, or hold firm at support? #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ Bitcoin’s violent rebound has handed the market a clean, if uncomfortable, test: was the midterm-driven selloff a genuine shift in risk appetite, or simply a liquidity air pocket that gave way once the political fog lifted? $BTC broke through its prior range and climbed to 81,000, while $ETH pushed straight to 2,450. The move was as abrupt as the drop that preceded it, and the sequence matters more than the levels themselves. The source narrative points to a chain of political causality. Trump lBTC was still hovering just above 80,000 in the evening; don’t mistake the daytime recovery as a free pass before the US market opens.
Watching it climb back from around 75,000 during the day looks lively, but it’s mostly shorts covering at the top. Has real money re-entered? Spot ETF has still seen net outflows in recent days, so the market doesn’t really look like "everyone believes again." The fear and greed index jumped quickly from the low 30s to around 50, flipping sentiment too fast—this kind of comfortable sideways movement is the easiest to get carried away in.
US stocks haven’t opened yet, and the quiet sideways action in the Asian late session is the easiest way to fool yourself into thinking "it’s stable." When the US market opens tonight, that 80,000 line can break just like that. Don’t chase the green line to add positions; keep some in reserve, and don’t treat the daytime rebound as a ticket to the night session.
Are you watching first tonight, or have you already got your hand on the add position button? $BTC $ETH $SOL Net profit of 126 million USD, ABTC has turned the page on its loss story this quarter. This Trump family mining company was still losing money last quarter, but now it has turned profitable, mainly relying on gains from the fair value of digital assets, and its Bitcoin holdings have also increased.
What I care more about is where the profit comes from: appreciation of book assets does not equal a stronger mining business. My judgment is that this financial report is still insufficient to prove operational improvement. Will this story continue to be written by mining, or will it continue to be dictated by the price of $BTC? What does everyone think?Big Brother Maji has made profits again this round! But this time, the risks are getting more and more exciting!
Latest position data shows that Maji is not only continuously going long on $ETH but also constantly rolling and increasing positions. With 25x leverage, the holdings have increased from over 2,000 contracts initially to nearly 6,700 contracts, with the latest average opening price around $2366, and the unrealized profit once exceeded $460,000.
However, as the position size keeps expanding, the liquidation price has also been pushed to around $2391.
Big Brother seems very confident, but I am actually more cautious about ETH's short-term trend ahead.
Personally, I prefer to wait for a rebound opportunity near $2450 before considering setting up short positions.
Why not rush to chase longs?
1️⃣ The nature of the rebound still needs observation
After the US midterm election results were released, the market experienced a quick rebound. I tend to interpret this as short covering after uncertainty dissipated, rather than confirmation of a new upward trend.
2️⃣ There is resistance near $2450
If ETH rebounds to around $2450, it may face strong selling pressure above. If it cannot break through effectively, chasing higher in the short term is not cost-effective.
3️⃣ Risks of high-leverage longs are accumulating
When a large number of high-leverage positions concentrate in a similar direction, once market sentiment reverses, chained liquidations may further amplify the decline.
My short-term trading plan:
Rebound to $2450–$2480: Observe if short signals appear.
Break below $2350: Wait for confirmation before considering following the trend to short.
Feng$SNDK staring at this sluggish candlestick on the screen, I took a deep drag of my cigarette and cursed inwardly: "Why isn't it dropping yet? This damn manipulator is way too stubborn!"
【My current market analysis】
I opened a short position around 1008, now with a slight profit of +0.35, and the forced liquidation price is far away at 1114. Seeing it stubbornly hold above 1000, I calmly realized: the 1000 round number is the psychological barrier for retail traders. After the previous sharp drop, many shorts took profits here, plus the 15-minute MACD formed a weak golden cross below the zero line, temporarily propping up the price.
The 1-hour MA20 and MA60 still press down like Mount Tai, the main trend remains bearish. This current "stubbornness" is at most a minor pullback in the downtrend. From a behavioral finance perspective, the 90% of die-hard bulls from a few days ago haven't fully given up cutting losses yet, so the manipulator must repeatedly tug at this level to wear out impatient shorts like me and fatten the bulls bottom-fishing, before delivering a fatal blow.
【My iron-blooded operation】
I'm not panicking! According to the Kelly criterion, my position is very light, and my break-even stop loss is set just above the entry price. I'm going to tough it out! The resistance at the 1020 moving average above is closely watched; if it breaks out with volume, I'll run immediately. Below, I'm waiting for the previous low at 990.8; only a volume-driven break below that will be a true waterfall crash with big profits.
In trading, patience is more precious than gold. Don't shoot the hawk without seeing the rabbit. We'll outlast this manipulator!Nasdaq approval for listing does not mean trading can start. Canary's staked INJ ETF (ticker INJC) stated in the Form 8-A submitted on November 3: Nasdaq has approved the listing application; the fund aims to stake at least 90% of INJ, with custodian BitGo, and an annual fee of 1.10%. Both Injective official and Cointelegraph are reporting the same news.
The key issue is that the S-1 registration statement has not yet become effective. Listing approval is just the exchange's clearance; the public cannot buy shares yet, and there is no trading start date. Opponents interpret the 90% staking plan as the institutional channel being open; without an effective date, funds cannot flow in.
Until the S-1 becomes effective, treat this excitement as a document progress, not as the buy orders being in place. Wait for the SEC to announce effectiveness or Nasdaq to give a trading date, then see if funds follow. Snapshot around 18:03 Beijing time, Binance INJ about $8.35, 24h approximately +8.6%.

#INJ #Injective #cryptocurrency Exchanges are delisting one after another, liquidity is in crisis! Has CORE's "countdown to zero" begun?
Multiple platforms have successively cleaned up trading pairs involving CORE, essentially due to the continuous depletion of liquidity. The chain reaction from exchange delistings is highly damaging: with each lost trading channel, order book depth thins further, bid-ask spreads widen, and the cost of exiting grows increasingly high.
To make matters worse, while external liquidity is under pressure, fundamental internal project issues remain unresolved: an 81-year continuous token release inflation pressure, meager on-chain Gas revenue, and a lack of rigid constraints on buyback commitments. Once large sell orders appear, slippage cascades can easily be triggered.
⚠️ But delisting does not mean immediate zero value. As long as the chain is still running, tokens can still circulate in wallets and on DEXs, though monetization becomes significantly more difficult. The real tipping point: if leading platforms follow suit with delistings and on-exchange buy orders continue to shrink, liquidity death will accelerate.
Holders must plan their exit strategies in advance and not hope for a sudden market reversal to save the day. Liquidity risk is often more fatal than a simple price drop.On-chain data doesn't lie: CORE's Gas fee revenue is only $200, what supports its tens of millions market cap?
The underlying on-chain data exposes a huge contradiction in CORE's valuation: the base Gas revenue of the entire public chain is extremely low, yet it carries a market cap in the tens of millions, revealing a clear shortfall in value support.
The meager base Gas revenue means the public chain itself cannot generate sufficient native income. Additionally, the project has adjusted its burn mechanism; transaction fees are no longer used for deflationary burns but instead flow to ecosystem and node incentives, making it difficult for Gas revenue to feed back into token value.
The buyback logic the project team hopes for requires the ecosystem to generate enough profit to be realized. But with severely insufficient base chain income, even if the application layer generates some transaction fees, whether they can be passed on to the CORE token remains unknown. Coupled with inflationary selling pressure from token releases lasting 81 years, the gap between valuation and fundamentals continues to widen.
This also serves as a warning to investors: don't be simply swayed by the BTCFi narrative. The valuation of a public chain ultimately must return to the real on-chain cash flow. After the narrative hype fades, the revenue shortfall will become the biggest drag on the token price.Can the BTCFi narrative save CORE? Compared to Babylon and Merlin, how much chance does it still have?
With the resurgence of BTCFi's popularity, many hope this sector can reverse CORE's decline, but a horizontal comparison with competitors shows that CORE faces significant challenges to break through.
Babylon firmly holds the native BTC staking track, attracting massive institutional capital, with a significantly leading TVL scale, and controls the most core BTC yield narrative; Merlin, as a Bitcoin ZK-Rollup, deeply cultivates BRC20 and inscription assets, with outstanding on-chain interaction and liquidity advantages.
CORE's advantage lies in being an independent L1 + EVM-compatible chain, capable of directly supporting DeFi needs after staking on-chain, suitable for retail investors who prefer to complete all operations on a single chain. But its shortcomings are fatal: an 81-year continuous token release causing high inflation, an unfulfilled buyback plan, and an architecture with only 21 validator nodes, raising decentralization concerns. Institutional funds tend to prefer Babylon.
The sector's recovery can bring short-term sentiment rebounds, but relying solely on the BTCFi narrative is unlikely to fundamentally solve the tokenomics issues. Only with real ecosystem revenue landing and effective inflation hedging does CORE have a chance to turn around; otherwise, it will most likely just follow sector fluctuations and struggle to achieve an independent major rally.Tonight's review has one main theme: the boot has dropped. The results of the U.S. midterm elections are out, with the Democrats taking both the House and Senate. Logically, this should be a major upheaval, but the Dow rose about 3%, the S&P 500 rose 1.6%, and BTC pulled back from a seven-week low of 75,700 to above 80,000, around just over 80,000 during the day. ETH is above 2,400, up about 6%. Why the rise? It's like dating: the worst thing is not your partner controlling you, but your partner having a different idea every day. Now that someone is in control, you can actually sleep well. The market fears not bad outcomes, but uncertainty. Another reason is technical: short positions were liquidated about $378 million in one hour. Simply put, it's a short squeeze, not a large influx of new money. The fear and greed index returned to a neutral 50. Spot BTC ETF saw a slight net inflow on Wednesday, ending three consecutive days of outflows, but the cumulative outflows from previous days remain. This is like on the third day after a breakup, the other party sends a "Are you there?" message—not necessarily a real comeback; it depends on whether there are sincere apologies over the following days. There's also regulatory talk: the CLARITY Act was already stuck, and with the change of control in both chambers, advancing it will be more difficult. The Democrats are still discussing whether to strengthen investor protections; rules may become stricter, but that's better than no rules. Don't treat this as either bad or good news—just consider the "wedding date" postponed. Don't forget the macro picture: September CPI at 3.7% was higher than expected, and the market prices in a significant chance of a rate hike at the December FOMC. Risk assets are celebrating today, but the Fed may be quietly preparing the bill on the side. Outlook for tomorrow: watch if 80,000 can hold. If it holds, it means the buying is real; if not, it's just the inertia of a short squeeze.The rebound in major cryptocurrencies is real, but it is not uniform. $BTC, $ETH and $SOL have all moved off their lows, yet the composition of each bounce tells a different story about who is actually buying. $BTC offers the clearest case of short covering. After touching $75,600, it was pulled quickly back above $80,000, a move that suggests bids remain underneath the market but also carries the fingerprints of forced buybacks rather than fresh conviction. The immediate test is whether $80,000I smell that familiar feeling from the last round when people used corporate earnings reports to talk about a bull market again.
Trump family mining company ABTC posted a net profit of $126 million in Q3, with holdings increasing to 8,427 coins. This time, I pay more attention to the holdings: the profit turning positive mainly relies on fair value gains of digital assets, which does not mean mining is more profitable.
I judge this as a magnifier of coin exposure, not yet solid proof of a mining industry recovery. Old players, seeing mining companies hoarding coins and valuation gains supporting profits, do you feel that familiar vibe from the last round?Preparing to eat dinner in the evening, I checked the futures capital flow and found a warning signal: BTC and ETH prices are both rising, but short-term funds are starting to withdraw! DOGE is even more dominated by long-term outflows. How much strength does this rebound really have?
First, look at $BTC: $80,356, up 2.42%
After the US midterm elections, the dollar weakened, US stocks rebounded, boosting risk appetite. But futures capital data shows BTC net inflow of about $130 million in the past 24 hours, yet an outflow of $19.26 million in the last 4 hours, and a cumulative outflow of $9.16 billion in the past 30 days. Short-term support is at 80,000, with resistance at 82,000 above.
Next, look at $ETH: $2,414, up 3.97%
ETH's gains lead BTC, but capital flow shows divergence. Net inflow of about $704 million in the past 24 hours, outflow of $61.85 million in the last 4 hours, and outflow of $91.59 million in the last 6 hours. This indicates short-term enthusiasm for chasing gains is still divided. Hold 2,400 and then look to 2,500.
Finally, look at $DOGE: $0.07706, up 2.49%
DOGE futures capital flow is even more worrisome! The chart shows net outflows for most of the year, and the price rebound lacks sustained capital support. Short-term support at 0.075, break through 0.08 to look for continuation.
A few final words
24-hour inflows do not mean sustained short-term bullishness; capital divergence is the key! For this wave, I prefer to wait for confirmation and am not in a hurry to chase.
#CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49% Money market funds, those things with such low returns that no one pays them any attention, are actually the first type of fund to be tokenized on the blockchain.
I always thought the first to be tokenized would be the high-growth, story-rich varieties. But it turns out that a European asset manager turned the least sexy cash fund into a token, still keeping half to sell to old clients.
Frankly, it’s a way to avoid offending either side: old clients don’t accept tokens, new clients find the process cumbersome, so they just opened both paths.
Recording shares on $ETH and having more transparent records—these terms sound great. But ordinary people only care about two things—whether there’s one less fee, or if the payment arrives a day faster? No one talks about that.
So even now, I still don’t understand who this is actually convenient for. Binance has just survived a hacker attack with losses as high as $6.3 billion and is now showing signs of recovery. Its tracked assets have increased by about $5 billion, reaching $133.12 billion. $BNB
The cash flow in the past 24 hours was positive $774 million, but the cash flow over the past 7 days is still negative $10.88 billion. Withdrawal pressure remains.
One day’s inflow is not enough to offset a week’s sell-off. Do you think Binance has regained trust? 🔥 #USJobsReportInFocus — FRIDAY DECIDES THE FED 👀
ADP October: +86K vs +69K expected. Private hiring beat.
BLS Friday 15:30 SA: +65K expected, unemployment 4.2%. September was just +29K.
JOLTS: 1.06 jobs per unemployed — still tight.
What it means for crypto:
Hot jobs = Fed hawkish = risk pressure.
Weak jobs = cut hopes = risk relief.
Don't trade the headline. Wait for confirmation, manage risk.
Your call: Hot or weak on Friday? 👇
#USJobsReportInFocus #JobsReport #Fed #Crypto #Bitcoin #OKXTomorrow night at 21:30, the US October nonfarm payroll report will be released. Let's talk about my views.
The market expects an increase of 65,000 jobs, up from 29,000 previously, with the unemployment rate expected to remain at 4.2%. Last night, ADP added 86,000 jobs, better than expected, indicating that the US job market has not yet shown a clear slowdown.
But the background for this nonfarm report is somewhat different:
The Federal Reserve paused rate hikes in October, with two officials even voting to continue raising rates. The market's expectation for a rate hike in December is already quite high.
If tomorrow night's employment and wage data continue to be strong, it could further reinforce the Fed's hawkish stance, putting pressure on $BTC, gold, and US stocks.
Personally, I lean towards a moderate recovery in employment data, but it may not be enough to change the policy expectations already formed by the market.
So the most worth watching tomorrow night is whether risk assets can hold up if the data exceeds expectations.
After all, the rate hike expectation is already in place. What the market really fears may be stronger-than-expected employment and inflation pressures 🫡
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ A European asset management company has tokenized the shares of a money market fund on-chain without cutting off the old channels.
Amundi, in collaboration with CACEIS, launched the first tokenized share for its AMUNDI FUNDS CASH EUR money market fund, using a hybrid distribution model: investors can either go through traditional channels or buy the tokenized shares J28 EUR DLT (C). The underlying ledger is the public Ethereum.
Why is the money market fund the first to go on-chain? Because it is most like cash: short term, low net asset value volatility, naturally suitable for collateral and settlement. Institutions are not looking to speculate on it, but to move idle cash onto a track that can settle 7×24 hours and serve as collateral.
Note the four words "hybrid distribution." It is both a convenience and a compromise—the custody, registration, subscription, and redemption still go through CACEIS's old channels; the token only adds an additional entry point, not a replacement. The official emphasized benefits are transparency and traceability, not returns or speed.
The real signal is that "public Ethereum" is written into the plan: using a regulated public chain for share registration means acknowledging this path is viable. $ETH thus gains an additional use unrelated to price, and $USDC and $ONDO will also be mentioned along the way.
What is worth considering: if after a year only this money market fund is on-chain, the resistance lies in custody and regulation; if stock funds are also brought on-chain, it will truly shift from an experiment to a channel. For now, it is just the first one. Binance was hacked, and 48 hours later, hackers continue to attack multiple targets in the cryptocurrency market!
According to CryptoCeek, days after the Binance incident, attacks continue targeting Mercado Bitcoin, EU organizations, BTCPay merchants, and 12 DeFi platforms. $BNB

Volume ~$26.6M, about 40% of the cap. Circulating 22.8% out of 100 billion.
Red flag: November 21 unlock ~2.108 billion AKE (~9% of circulation). Burn and payments to stakers announced but not confirmed.
Verdict: there is volume, no demand for the platform seen. Waiting for verifiable payments. Ready for −30%.
Will the unlock crush the price? 👇Some existing and potential investors discussing Anthropic's valuation have lowered it from about $2 trillion to around $1.5 trillion. This is an investor valuation discussion and should not be directly written as the confirmed IPO offering price.
The drop of about 25% seems large, but it only indicates a change in the price acceptance range between both parties and cannot alone prove that it is cheap now.
What I care more about is the company's disclosed future funding arrangements: approximately $895.4 billion committed to computing power and infrastructure expenditures, of which about $69.8 billion is expected to occur within the twelve months ending September 2027.
These are cross-period commitments and cannot all be counted as current quarter expenses; however, the upcoming payment demands will affect how much financing the company needs and how fast future revenues must grow.
Demand and revenue have already shown strong momentum, but valuation still needs to consider capital costs, spending pace, and profitability. Willingness to pay a high price for growth is understandable; extending growth indefinitely easily leads to a valuation that only holds in the most optimistic scenario.
I am actually not opposed to the cooling down of valuation discussions. Investors starting to seriously talk about price and terms is more useful than just arguing over who can become the biggest AI company. The company can be excellent, but shareholder returns still depend on how much was paid and how much more needs to be invested later.
#Anthropic潜在IPO投资者建议估值降至1.5万亿美元 Gold rose 0.43%, the US dollar fell 0.28%, but BTC fell against the trend by 0.66%. External conditions are clearly favorable, so why doesn't BTC follow? 1. News. COMEX gold closed at $3,957.4, up 0.43% for the day; spot gold around $3,946.5; the US dollar index at 101.46, down 0.28% intraday; BTC at $77,187.6, down 0.66% in 24 hours and down 4.18% over the past week, with a 20-day low of $76,265.2. The three show obvious divergence. 2. Capital impact. BTC ETF latest single-day net outflow was $663.6 million, 5-day net outflow $226.5 million, 10-day net outflow $351.2 million. Gold rising and the dollar weakening should benefit risk assets, but large ETF redemptions offset the macro tailwind. The fear and greed index rose from 26 to 34, but the improved sentiment did not immediately translate into BTC buying. 3. BTC implications. Gold first attracted safe-haven funds, while BTC remains suppressed by ETF redemptions and exchange risks. This is not simply a case of "safe-haven assets winning," but a gap in BTC's own capital flow. Only when ETF outflows narrow and BTC reclaims 79,220 can it indicate that the macro tailwind is starting to transmit. Otherwise, a weaker dollar only reduces pressure, it is not an engine for price increase. 4. Observation indicators. I will focus on four indicators next: first, whether single-day ETF outflows can drop below $100 million; second, whether the 5-day cumulative can turn positive; third, whether the dollar can continue below 102; fourth, BTSun Ge's recent moves are really baffling!
He boasts a net worth of up to $85 billion, but when it comes to raising $140 million, reports reveal he's shuffling funds around and even seems a bit strapped for cash?
First, he pledged 580 million $TRX, then issued an additional 60 million USDD, subsequently exchanging them for USDT through the official liquidity pool, and finally transferred everything to Binance to earn a 10% financial yield.
This series of operations looks like a grand financial juggling act.
On the surface, he's a glamorous figure with a net worth in the hundreds of billions, but behind the scenes, it's a complex web of pledges, exchanges, and fund movements.
The question is: how much truly free cash does Sun Ge have? Of the so-called $85 billion net worth, how much is real hard capital?
The financial story behind $TRX might be even more worth watching than the market itself!The contract price rising does not mean institutions are buying
Last night the contract surged sharply, and many thought big money had entered.
But the spot ETF data on the same day tells a different story.
How this number is calculated:
$BTC net inflow is 9.63 million, with Fidelity contributing 30 million.
BlackRock ran nearly 26 million in the same period, hedging between the two sides.
Common misinterpretations:
$ETH shows a superficial net inflow of 23,300, which looks like a positive shift.
BlackRock sold nearly 100 million in a single day, and Grayscale is buying.
This is turnover, not adding positions.
$SOL’s three data points are all zero; institutions don’t even provide numbers.
The contract side is lively, but no one is placing orders on the spot side.
Contracts reflect sentiment; spot is real money.
When several institutions turn positive together someday, that will be the bottom.
#BTC进入摩根大通长期预测，机构配置仍谨慎 $BTC $ETH Brothers, daily mainstream altcoin quick report
$XRP $1.32 |$SOL $96.8 |$DOGE $0.0771
XRP's ETF is the only one that hasn't run in this wave. Last week, Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had a combined outflow of $634 million, while XRP ETF had a net inflow of $4.32 million, positive for the second consecutive week. The price bounced back to 1.32, up about 2.8% in 24 hours, with 71.6% of global accounts long, and 74.1% of top traders bullish. But 1.35 above is the 200-day moving average, also the first hard resistance in this rebound.
SOL is very active on-chain, but ETFs are running out. Samsung's 82 million phones will connect to Solana's USDC transfers by the end of the month, Securitize issued 12 tokenized US stocks on Solana, with 1.7 million new wallets daily. However, the US spot SOL ETF has had net outflows for four consecutive days, with on-chain activity and institutional funds moving separately. The price is 96.8, 90 is a structural breakout level, only above it is there a chance to see 100-114.
DOGE's ETF is basically gone. The Dogecoin spot ETF pool only has $720,000 left, with total trading volume in September just over $50,000, liquidity is exhausted, exit is only a matter of time. The price is 0.0771, up about 2.6% in 24 hours, but technically still bearish, down nearly 20% in a month.
Let's discuss in the comments, between XRP's lone ETF and SOL's on-chain prosperity, which do you trust this time?👇
#非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ In my spare time at work, I looked through Brother 800's open orders. Despite losing 3.81 million, he’s still adding more long positions. I think I understand this big player’s strategy.
First, look at the performance, quite scary: a total loss of over 3.81 million USD, performance -86.78%, 30-day win rate 10.9%. At his peak, four accounts lost over 30 million and are now recovering.
All positions are long, three trades totaling 4.54 million USD. Two BTC trades: the 67701 old position has an unrealized profit of 375%, the 77997 new position has 59% unrealized profit; one ETH trade at 2289 with 94% unrealized profit. Leverage ranges from 17 to 20 times, margin rate at a minimum of 943%, liquidation price left empty, far from liquidation.
The strategy is clear: left-side bottom fishing, buying more as prices fall, splitting orders and positions. Not relying on win rate, enduring nine losses in a row, relying on big trades to recover losses. The 67701 trade was picked up during a big drop and held until now.
Positioning sense and margin discipline are real skills. But the -86% performance shows the old problem remains: the curve went from earning 1.59 million to losing 3.83 million, winning but not stopping, giving back even more. One BTC trade is still full position at 19x leverage, the biggest risk is one sharp move wiping out the entire account.
The market is currently favoring his style: BTC holding around 80,000, ETH recovering, SOL weaker, ZEC the most volatile. He only trades BTC and ETH, which is disciplined. Tonight the Bank of England rate decision and initial jobless claims, tomorrow night the nonfarm payrolls. If the market really crashes, he will just keep adding. Just learn his margin rate, don’t copy the position size.The Democratic Party took control of both chambers of Congress (the "Blue Wave").
The market rebounded in the short term due to the elimination of uncertainty, but long-term concerns increased: the Democratic Party may strengthen investigations and regulations on Trump-related crypto businesses and large tech companies, and pro-crypto legislation such as the CLARITY Act may face obstacles.
The large amount of money invested by the crypto industry in the election failed to prevent the loss of some key seats. $SPCX Beichen once again provided precise entry points, nailing this wave of entry points perfectly 🤩
Yesterday, Beichen suggested a short strategy on the 137-138 rebound range. After the rebound reached that range in the evening, it was smashed all the way down, hitting a low of 129, even lower than Beichen's target point.
For why to short, you can check the blog post Beichen posted yesterday (Image 1). The sharp rebound after bottoming out yesterday was mainly due to profit-taking on short positions established during the rapid drop, which pushed the price up quickly.
Today it has pulled back again to the current 134 level, indicating that selling pressure and trapped positions above still exist, and the bulls lack momentum.
The short-term outlook remains bearish. Consider shorting on rebounds at 136-137, manage your positions well, with a target below 130! #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ You don't need to blindly trust us; we hope you will continuously verify us.
Recently, the community has raised many serious questions: Where is the development progress? How will the eight-year plan be implemented? Can cross-border payments truly work? How should contract permissions, liquidity, and actual usage value be assessed?
These questions should not be avoided.
1. Vision cannot replace delivery.
Discussing global payments and blockchain infrastructure does not mean the related capabilities have been realized. Code repositories, test records, and phased results can help the community understand actual progress. But open code does not mean the product is complete, nor does it mean security has been fully verified.
2. Long-termism does not mean indefinite waiting.
The eight-year plan should be broken down into verifiable phased goals as much as possible. What work has been completed? What is still in progress? What evidence can the community verify?
Long-term goals are worth discussing, but trust must be built gradually at every stage.
3. Cross-border payments require real scenario validation.
Cross-border payments are not just about transferring tokens from one address to another; they also involve exchange costs, exchange rate spreads, arrival times, failure handling, recipient usage conditions, and compliance requirements.
Specific scenarios should be validated first, and then broader application prospects discussed based on actual test results. Why is it easier to find problems in a strategy when the trade records are more detailed?
Because if you only record profits and losses, you can only know the outcome; recording entry reasons, execution deviations, trading costs, and risks allows for further analysis of the causes.
Reviewing trades is not to make excuses for losses but to validate your trading hypotheses.
Do you record the entry reason for each trade?The most expensive lesson this hacker learned wasn't how to access the hot wallet, but that the stolen stablecoins could still be reclaimed by the other side. So before the freeze took effect, they quickly swapped what could be clawed back into ETH, which no one could claw back. Someone calculated this price difference to be about $119 million — marking the first time the "decentralization premium" was quantified in real money.
Originally, about 200,000 ETH were taken, but after trading, it turned into over 520,000 ETH. Tether and Circle can freeze USDT and USDC, but they can't freeze native ETH or those 18,270 bitcoins. So in the following days, the whole market debated the refill percentage; on-chain, the coins truly still alive were these ones without any on/off switch.
Do you think next time someone steals from an exchange, their first reaction will still be to move stablecoins?Does holding 10 types of cryptocurrencies mean your risk is diversified?
Not necessarily.
Different tokens may be affected by the same market sentiment, liquidity, and capital flows. Even in different sectors, they can face pressure simultaneously during a market downturn.
True diversification is not about increasing the number of coins, but understanding the sources of risk and the correlations within your overall portfolio.
Do you focus more on the number of coins or on risk correlation? #非农在即，就业数据能否强化12月加息预期？ The market has already priced in a high probability of a rate hike in December in advance. This non-farm payroll report is a key verification window. The focus is not only on new employment but also on wage growth, unemployment rate, and revisions to previous data, which have a stronger impact on expectations.
If the non-farm payrolls significantly exceed expectations, wages rise, and the unemployment rate falls, it indicates sufficient labor market resilience, household income supports consumption, and the pace of inflation decline is hindered. This will directly strengthen the pricing of a December rate hike, causing U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar to strengthen, while U.S. stocks, gold, and crypto assets come under pressure.
If the data meets expectations, it will likely maintain the current pricing with limited market volatility, awaiting further confirmation from subsequent CPI and PCE inflation data. Employment is steady but not overheated, and the Federal Reserve will remain cautious.
If the non-farm payrolls are clearly below expectations, unemployment rises, and wages cool down, it will weaken the rate hike logic, and trading funds will start betting on a pause in rate hikes. U.S. Treasury yields will decline, and risk assets will see a phase rebound.
But note: The Federal Reserve's core goal is inflation; employment is only an auxiliary signal. Even if employment is strong, if inflation continues to decline afterward, rate hikes remain uncertain. The short term is an expectation game, prone to a "buy the rumor, sell the fact" scenario. $BTC $ETH $ZEC I immediately felt a sense of familiarity from the previous round: financing to buy coins, and the market is once again telling stories around capital structure.
DDC is issuing preferred shares SAVOR, planning to raise $24 million to repay convertible bonds, reserve dividends, and increase BTC holdings, with an annual dividend rate of 13.5%.
Compared to the hoarding narrative, this time I'm more focused on the financing cost. I see this as a signal of the treasury sector competing on financing capability; it can't be fully counted as new buying pressure since funds still need to cover old debts and dividends. I'll be watching whether the cash flow can hold up. There's something that has always been quite counterintuitive: Ethereum being slow isn't because no one is trying; in a way, it's intentional. Every node has to recalculate the same transaction from scratch, preferring to be slow rather than trusting results calculated by others.
On November 5, Vitalik said that in the coming years they plan to use GPUs to turn this into parallel processing, while still ensuring decentralization. In plain language: they want speed but don't want to revert to a single server.
My first reaction was, isn't this wanting it both ways? But he said "in the coming years," which shows he knows it's not easy. $ETH holders are probably familiar with this dilemma—complaining about slowness when prices rise, but grateful for stability when it's slow.
Keep this statement in mind; don't rush to see it as a positive signal.What is currently most worth being cautious about is not how bullish the bulls are, but that the long-short leverage ratio has already reached an extremely unbalanced position. The borrowed coin buy volume for $BTC is 1540.29 coins, while borrowed coin sell volume is only 77.48 coins; for $ETH, the buy side is 15,100 coins versus 1603.49 coins on the sell side; for $SOL, the buy side is 128,000 coins versus 7401.42 coins on the sell side. The long-short lending ratios of all three point in the same direction—the market sentiment is almost unanimously betting on a rise. The key implication of this structure is often misinterpreted. Most people simply understand "increasing borrowed coin buying" as a bullish signal, but the essence of leverage borrowing is to amplify exposure, not to create direction. When the density of borrowed coin buying continuously climbs, it means a large number of positions are built on borrowed chips, and the holding costs and sensitivity to price fluctuations of these positions are much higher than spot buying. In other words, they accelerate the push up when prices rise, and also accelerate exits during pullbacks. What is more noteworthy is that this feature appears simultaneously in the three mainstream coins. $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL all show a pattern where buying leverage far exceeds selling, indicating this is not a localized phenomenon of a single asset, but a consistent behavior of funds on mainstream targets. Historical experience shows that when buying density is concentrated and continuously rising, the probability of short-term concentrated profit-taking and oscillating adjustments also rises simultaneously—not because the trend must reverse, but because the leverage structure itself becomes fragile, and any price stagnation may trigger a chain of deleveraging actions. The truly underestimated signal is the absolute low level on the sell borrowing side. $Once Circle's Q3 earnings report was released, the stock price surged pre-market and then fell back. My view is simple: the reason this market outperformed expectations is driven by the token issuance narrative, not stablecoins. #CircleQ3营收超预期，USDC链上交易量增长49%
Regarding the earnings report, here are answers to the three most concerned questions:
1. Did revenue really increase?
Yes, it reached a new quarterly high of 865 million. However, 182 million of that was one-time income from selling their own ARC tokens. Excluding this, the core business revenue actually declined.
2. Is there a problem with USDC itself?
The coin is normal. On-chain transaction volume has grown nearly 50% over the past year, and about 80% of all market transactions use USDC; after the incident next door, there was still a net inflow of 2.5 billion within 24 hours, so it remains relatively stable. But circulation volume is stagnant, and market share has been eroded. People use it as cash to spend, not as an asset for investment.
3. Will it rise or fall next?
USDC will always be one dollar, so asking about rise or fall is meaningless. The real question is CRCL: a company that lives off interest hitting a rate cut cycle, and in Q4 still has to give concessions to the competitor next door. The stock price has already been cut in half from its peak. This earnings report has no major negative news, but also no new narrative. I lean towards a volatile bottoming process.
Friends holding USDC now don’t need to panic; buying CRCL at 70-80 is also a good position. The project is still running, but the previous story of easy money printing has ended. On November 5th, Vitalik Buterin said something: In the coming years, Ethereum will use cutting-edge technologies including GPUs to achieve multitasking parallel processing while maintaining decentralization.
The weight of this statement lies in that it touches Ethereum's most fundamental structure. On-chain execution has long been single-threaded, with each node recalculating the same transaction. The slowness is the cost but also the confidence behind its claim of decentralization. To speed up, this structure cannot be bypassed.
But using GPUs is not as simple as just changing hardware. GPUs excel at running many identical computations simultaneously, while Ethereum processes general state updates, which don't align. A new execution and verification structure must be added in between. When he says "in the coming years," it's not just politeness; this work really will take years.
More informative is the latter half of the sentence: the Foundation will next focus only on four areas—technical level, security, privacy protection, and openness. Anything beyond their expertise will be left to users and the community to explore. This is a boundary contraction—from "the Foundation pushes everything" to "setting standards, providing tools, and letting the ecosystem grow on its own."
In terms of trading, $ETH gains a direction of certainty spanning several years, and the narratives for scaling layers $ARB and $OP are also reconfirmed. But there is no tradable timeline in the short term; the news itself is not a catalyst.
What’s truly worth considering is: once parallel processing really runs, will the node threshold capable of running GPUs be raised? Is the phrase "maintain decentralization" a promise or just reassurance?"Nonfarm Payrolls Night Attack, Don't Directly Equate Weak Employment to Rate Cuts"
ADP employment increased by about 91,000, while the market's expectation for nonfarm payrolls is only 65,000. The data divergence is amplifying market uncertainty. If nonfarm payrolls fall short of expectations, it may not be favorable for risk assets, and recession concerns could trigger sell-offs; if the data is strong, the expectation for a December rate cut may cool further, and the rebound in U.S. Treasury yields will suppress liquidity.
BTC's current rebound lacks volume support, ETF funds are insufficiently sustained, and selling pressure above remains obvious. ETH is performing even weaker, with limited capital support, so it is temporarily unwise to blindly bottom-fish.
$XAUT Gold benefits from safe-haven demand and central bank gold purchase expectations; the higher the macro uncertainty, the more the defensive value of gold deserves attention.
The boss says: Tonight's focus is not on guessing the rise or fall of nonfarm payrolls, but on observing the capital reaction after the data release. There is a high risk of spikes up and down, so do not chase gains or blindly bottom-fish, and orders must have stop-losses set.
Latest news: After the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party took control of both houses of Congress. The market bets that the U.S.-Iran situation may ease, Brent crude oil briefly fell to around $94, and safe-haven and inflation expectations are being repriced. Reuters +3
