Regulatory side: Brazil's largest private bank Itaú Unibanco has "filed" under the central bank's new regulations, becoming the first bank to officially conduct crypto trading + custody—not a new license application, but an authorized institution following a notification procedure before the 10/30 deadline.
It has been selling coins since the end of 2023, currently about fourteen or fifteen assets (including BTC/ETH/USDC), with trading + custody aligned with the "brokerage" classification. The key point: Latin America's largest bank is incorporating existing business into a compliance framework, which ≠ instant mass account openings, ≠ immediate doubling of trading volume, and certainly not a price stance.
Filing ≠ new product launch; bank notification path ≠ independent VASP authorization application. Media/regulatory disclosure tone, confidence medium-high. What do you think about Latin America's major banks becoming compliant—does it add to the "bank gateway" narrative, or is it something that should have happened long ago? $BTC $ETH $USDC Tonight at 20:30, initial jobless claims and September PCE data will be released simultaneously.
Market expectations: initial claims around 198,000–200,000 (previous value 194,000), core PCE month-over-month 0.3%, year-over-year 3.1%.
The logic is simple: employment looks at whether layoffs are rising, inflation looks at whether stickiness is confirmed. As long as initial claims remain near 200,000, the impact is limited; the real direction is determined by whether core PCE reaches or exceeds 0.3%.
My view: the data is more likely to be strong or meet expectations, which will continue to support the December rate hike expectations. In the short term, the impact on risk assets is slightly neutral to bearish, but it won't push the rate hike probability close to 100% directly. The key is still the actual reading of core PCE.
$BTC $HYPE has an unlock scheduled for early November, and the team's data activity shows that the token economy currently has about 222 million HYPE in circulation (22.2% of the total supply), with most tokens still locked. The system rates the supply pressure as high (pressure score 75): • Next unlock: 2026-11-06, categorized under team & founders, approximately 9.917 million tokens, equivalent to 4.46% of the current circulating supply; • On-chain monitoring shows that on October 28, the team-related address (HyperLabs) applied to redeem about 180,000 HYPE from staking (approximately $14.49 million), expected to arrive on November 4. Historically, this has been handled OTC through the market maker Flowdesk — meaning there will be a continuous token release window in early November. Given the already small circulating supply and limited liquidity, such concentrated unlocking usually creates real selling pressure on the price, especially near rebound neckline levels, warranting caution.Hawkish pause, bulls failed to take over
BTC 81,340 (+0.53%), ETH 2,359 (+0.39%). After the decision, BTC surged to 81,823 but met resistance and pulled back, fear and greed index at 51.
Macro pressure remains. The Fed's 10-to-2 vote maintained rates unchanged, with two members advocating for a hike. Walsh emphasized high inflation; the hawkish pause limits the upside for risk assets.
Leverage and funding: 24h total liquidations on the network reached 259 million, shorts accounted for 156 million, the rebound was driven by short covering, lacking new capital inflows. BlackRock IBIT bought 151 million, but overall ETF inflows slowed, and some earlier inflows have partially withdrawn.
Key levels:
BTC support at 80,700-81,000, break below targets 80,000; resistance at 81,500-81,750, only a steady break signals upside.
ETH support at 2,323, resistance at 2,391, reclaiming this level would indicate escaping weakness.
In short: Hawkish pause suppresses space, capital inflows slow, and bulls fail to take over. Do not chase longs; wait for BTC to hold above 81,750 or ETH to reclaim 2,390 before lightly testing longs. ARK Invest made a major buy-in after Robinhood dropped 23%, marking the largest scale in six months. This news is circulating in the stock community, but it's truly worth a look for crypto players.
Robinhood is not an ordinary broker. In its revenue structure, crypto trading contributes a significant portion; retail trading fees for BTC, ETH, and SOL directly determine its quarterly reports. So its stock price essentially serves as a leading indicator of retail trading enthusiasm.
Now that this indicator has dropped 23%, ARK has increased its position at this level, and to the largest extent in half a year. Cathie Wood's style has always been to buy more aggressively the harder the drop, but the timing of this buy-in is worth pondering—she's not betting on the broker itself, but on retail trading volume bottoming out and rebounding.
What does this mean for the crypto market? If institutions judge that retail trading enthusiasm is returning, the first beneficiaries will be the most liquid assets. $BTC is the unavoidable first stop, with ETH and SOL usually following, having greater elasticity but also lagging behind.
Of course, ARK can also be wrong; she has a history of unrealized losses. This news should not be taken as a buy signal but rather as an observation window: in the coming weeks, if exchange trading volume and on-chain active addresses rise in sync, her judgment will be validated; if they continue to shrink, this bottom-fishing will just be another case of catching a falling knife.The market keeps testing patience! Tonight's PCE is the decisive factor ⚠️
The surge and fall was unexpected, now stuck in consolidation
$BTC currently at 80300
Liquidation pain points:
Short pain point 80759 (40.239 million U)
Long pain point 79017 (42.469 million U)
Above 80500-81000 is a dense short liquidation zone
Very close, beware of sudden upward spikes
Below 79400-78800 is a dense long zone
Temporarily safe, if the 80k level breaks, it’s dangerous
$ETH
Short pain point 2331 (25.96 million U)
Long pain point 2284 (28.695 million U)
Above 2330-2360 is a liquidation cluster
Below 2300-2270 is the long lifeline
ETH follows BTC
Focus on BTC direction tonight!
Do you think when PCE lands, it will spike up first or break below 80k directly?

#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹
#BTC财库优先股融资升温
#谷歌Q3营收增长，净利润下滑、每股收益不及预期 $HYPE
Some say this wave of HYPE is about to take off, rising 8 points in an hour. I'll pour cold water first.
The rise is real, reaching a high of 86.2. But at the same time, in the past 5 days, a huge whale sold 694,300 HYPE, cashing out $53.27 million, at an average price of over 76. Short-term it rose 8%, but someone is offloading over 50 million worth of tokens mid-term.
Putting these two facts together, I personally see this wave as a rebound, not a new round of launch. Last time I chased the high during someone else's sell-off rally, with my stop loss set below the starting point of the rise, a memory still fresh. Now I’m just watching, not taking action.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $BTC
BTC is now at 80250, with a 24-hour low touching 79709, another day defending the 80,000 mark.
Looking at the numbers: Strategy holds 848,000 BTC, with an average cost around 75440, currently showing just over 6% unrealized profit. The 334 BTC added in early October, at an average price of 85838, are still underwater.
So the talk about returning above some cost line sounds impressive, but it's actually just a 6% buffer that can disappear in a day of decline. My own position is light; I neither added nor reduced at 80,000. What really shows me the direction is whether the 79,000 support leg holds, not the small unrealized gains above.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Don't rush to define this sharp rise as a reversal; it looks more like an emotional pulse. Twenty minutes before the FOMC results were announced, market sentiment suddenly heated up, social platforms were flooded with "bullish rebounds," BTC climbed back above 80,000, and ETH was pushed from 2330 to 2336. On the surface, it looks like a bottom confirmation, but this time window itself is worth caution: if this were truly the start of a trend-level rally, why would controlling funds choose to make a big push at a moment when the entire market is holding its breath? Are they afraid latecomers won't catch the train?
Looking at the resistance above: ETH faces tens of millions in short positions around 2377 and 2400, and BTC encounters dense resistance near 81,800 and 84,000. A surge now would hit almost entirely decompression zones of trapped chips. If big money were genuinely bullish, they wouldn't choose to be "active saints" here. A more reasonable path is: a sharp rise on low volume to heat up sentiment first. Once the meeting statement lands, as long as the wording leans hawkish or hints at a slightly tighter path for December, the chasing buyers will immediately feel the pressure. Everyone can see the bullish candle, but few think carefully about who is distributing behind it.
Therefore, there is no need for shorts to rush out. The real direction will only be clear after the FOMC shoe drops.
$BTC $ETH $SOL
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $ETH Just now, these few candlesticks were moving along the upper band of the 15-minute Bollinger Bands. Although the price is creeping up, the Bollinger Bands' upper and lower bands have not expanded. The 15-minute bandwidth is at a low percentile around 20%. The latest few candlesticks show reduced volume; the buying pressure hasn't pushed the upper band away.
Taking a glance at the 4-hour chart startled me. The 4-hour Bollinger Bands have contracted to the 14% percentile, and the price has been consolidating here for a long time. This pattern indicates the trend is choosing a direction. Currently, the price is still running below the 4-hour middle band; the bulls have not yet reclaimed the middle band.
Zooming out, the current price has already touched around 2328. This is a previous swing low on the daily chart, now converted into resistance. On the 4-hour chart, EMA20 and EMA50 are diverging along the downtrend. The price rebound has hit a major resistance level.
Next, I lean bearish. The daily resistance is just above, and the 4-hour EMA is pressing down. If it cannot hold above with volume, the expected trend is a pullback first, then testing support near 2290.
$BTC $SOL #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 🔥The crucial battle for BTC tonight is here! Whether 82500 can be taken will decide if the short-term bulls can further prove themselves.📊 But remember, piercing the resistance level does not equal a valid breakout.
📈 Bullish signals: a volume breakout above 82500, a pullback that doesn't break below, and short-term periods consistently closing above.
⚠️ Risk signals: after the breakout, volume doesn't keep up, and the price quickly falls back below 82500, chasing highs easily leads to getting trapped.
🧭 My approach is to wait for confirmation, not to rush the first surge. If conditions are met, then test with a small position; if it can't hold steady for a long time, it's fine to stay out and watch.
💬 Brothers, tonight are you ready to wait for confirmation to get in, or continue patiently waiting for an opportunity? #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Google crashed badly. Before yesterday's earnings report was released, the whales who kept adding positions were subsequently liquidated twice, with a total liquidation scale of nearly 10 million USD and a total loss of over 500,000 USD. Continuously adding positions on floating profits made the guy's motorcycle turn back into a bicycle.
At first, I thought this guy had some insider information, but it turns out he was just a gambler betting on the direction.Before looking at Coinbase's financial report, I first verified the Deribit migration date: the perpetual contract trading previously supported by Coinbase International Exchange was migrated to Deribit starting October 1.
This date is important because Q3 ended on September 30.
Therefore, Deribit already had business that could contribute to Q3, but operational effects generated only after the migration completed in October cannot be counted in the previous quarter. Acquisition, business consolidation, and platform migration also need to be understood separately.
I have expectations for this integration. With trading platforms and liquidity more concentrated, if the experience can be improved and customers use more products, there is a long-term opportunity to enhance competitiveness.
But these effects need to be reflected through actual trading and operational data. Completing the technical migration only means a step forward; it does not automatically prove simultaneous improvement in revenue and profit.
For this financial report, I will separate Q3 actual revenue from the company's disclosed October business progress. If management talks about customer activity and product usage after the migration, that will be more helpful in judging Q4.
The market likes to combine a string of good news into one positive, and I understand this excitement. But financial reports have clear cut-off dates. Putting future possible improvements prematurely into a quarter that has already ended can easily lead to overestimation and then disappointment.
#Coinbase整合Deribit，Q3收入能否改善？ Samsung's Q3 earnings report is out, with 3 hardcore signals at the trading level👇
1️⃣ Quarterly performance structure is singular
Out of 107 trillion KRW net profit, the semiconductor division contributed 99% of pure profit
The mobile division suffered a loss of 0.8 trillion KRW. The core business of AI storage and HBM is fully tied to the future revenue and profit development of AI storage and HBM, making sensitivity extremely high.
2️⃣ Positive factors realized
Both revenue and operating Eli Lilly LLY Q3 Earnings Preview: The Game and Concerns Under High GLP-1 Growth
$LLY will release its Q3 earnings report and hold a conference call at 22:00 Beijing time on October 29.
Market consensus expectations: revenue of $22.61 billion, adjusted EPS of $6.26. The core anchor of this earnings report remains the GLP-1 pipeline, which is also the market's pricing focus.
Mounjaro and Zepbound prescription volumes are expected to continue rising, with capacity release driving strong overall revenue growth; however, ongoing US healthcare cost controls continue to suppress individual product prices, combined with increased expenses from capacity expansion, R&D investment, and external acquisitions, profit growth is very likely to lag behind revenue growth, limiting earnings leverage.
Subsequent market scenarios are divided into three:
1. Revenue and dual-drug sales exceed expectations, with an upward revision of full-year guidance → stock price strengthens;
2. Data just meets expectations, likely leading to a positive realization followed by a pullback;
3. Weight loss drug prescription growth falls short of expectations, or guidance is lowered → valuation pressure causes a decline.
Long-term risks come from new competing products from Novo Nordisk and others, and continued price reductions on the payer side. Unlike AI giants with high capital expenditures and cash burn, Eli Lilly is a pharmaceutical growth stock with solid cash flow, better suited for waiting for a pullback before investing.
Key tracking points: sales of the two core drugs, clinical progress of retatrutide, and full-year revenue guidance.
#ModernaQ3财报将揭示疫苗销售趋势 #医药#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 I am the Mid-term Intelligence Brother.
The Federal Reserve maintains the interest rate at 3.75%-4.00%, as expected but not truly positive news. The vote was 10 to 2, with two members supporting a rate hike, indicating increased hawkish divergence. The economic assessment was upgraded to "strong expansion" but inflation concerns remain.
Market reactions are mixed. U.S. stocks rose slightly, the dollar retreated, but the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 5.02%. High oil prices increase inflation risks, the Bank of Canada raised rates, and global currencies have not shifted toward easing.
Tonight at 20:30, focus on the U.S. Q3 GDP and September PCE, which is the second round of tests and will trigger the next wave of volatility.
For $BTC and $ETH, the pause in rate hikes has been priced in. If data is hotter, BTC may test 80,000, and ETH could see a larger decline; only if PCE cools down and U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar retreat will the rebound be sustainable.
$ZEC
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 It's almost 7 PM, brothers, have you eaten and drunk enough? The market is dragging without direction, but I just glanced at the data of several popular altcoins. This is not a lack of market activity; it's clearly a massacre orchestrated by the main players. Let me quickly review it for you all.
First, look at $HYPE, current price 85.6, it directly pulled up a big bullish candle. The 4-hour long-short ratio shot up to 2.19, and open interest surged sharply. This shows the main players are aggressively buying with real money, and retail investors are frantically following. Although the position is heavy, the momentum is very strong. Don't lightly try to top pick in this kind of short squeeze market.
Next, look at $NEAR, current price 4.41, it plunged nearly 6%. The most ridiculous thing is the long-short ratio, which was forcibly raised from a bottom of 1.59 to 2.25. This means the more it falls, the more retail investors buy, all crazily bottom fishing! With so many long leverages, the main players won't pump unless they wash out the bottom fish.
Finally, look at $ZEC, current price 1270, it is drifting down 3.3%. The long-short ratio is stuck at an extremely low 0.79, and open interest is still decreasing. Retail investors are crazily shorting at the top; the shorts are extremely crowded. This kind of extreme inverse data means that once the market gains some strength, it will most likely trigger a short squeeze.
Summary: The main players are causing localized moves now. HYPE is violently pumping, NEAR is baiting longs to kill them, and ZEC is brewing a short squeeze. Don't chase the highs or sell the lows now; if you don't understand, just hold your hands.
What are you holding tonight? What do you think about these popular altcoins? Are you bullish or bearish?
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 The evening market feels chilling. After the FOMC announcement, the market didn't celebrate; instead, it just laid flat ahead of the GDP and PCE data releases. BTC barely held around 80,200, ETH directly dropped to 2,310, and SOL was the worst at 100.19, on the verge of breaking below 100. In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $259 million, with shorts liquidated at $156 million and longs only $103 million. Those who chased shorts a few days ago have now become fuel, but that doesn't mean the bulls have won; the price hasn't rallied at all.
The ETF side is even stranger. BTC spot ETFs have had net inflows for three consecutive days, with BlackRock's IBIT buying $136 million in one day; institutions are quietly accumulating, but ETH saw net outflows, showing a bias in funds. BTC dominance surged to 60.1%, and altcoin liquidity is being drained.
Data will be released tonight at 20:30. If the data is strong, rate hike expectations will heat up, and BTC may dip to 79,500; if the data is moderate, there might be a chance to test 81,500.
Based on my current positions, the strategy is clear: longs on ETH at 2308 and SOL at 104.31 are holding firm. ETH's bottom line is 2280; if it breaks, cut losses. SOL's critical point is 100; if it closes below 100, reduce positions. BTC is watching the 79,500 support; don't move before the data release. Keep leverage within 5x; tonight, don't bet on direction but on who gives up first after the data is out. Preserving capital is more important than anything. #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 🔥No rate hike does not equal a full bull market! Today's performance of the three major coins already shows that capital attitudes toward different assets are diverging.
📊 BTC bounced above 81,000 but then fell below 80,000; short-term support still needs confirmation. ETF inflows are a positive signal, but continuity is more important than single-day data.
⚠️ ETH is currently one to watch patiently; before reclaiming 2400, rashly treating the rebound as a reversal carries significant risk. Institutional capital outflows are worth noting, but price and subsequent flow must also be considered.
🌱 SOL is relatively strong; the Alpenglow upgrade provides an independent catalyst for the market, but "strong narrative" does not mean "price only rises without falling."
🛡️ Don’t chase highs or blindly bottom-fish; wait for signals to appear first. Brothers, if you could only pick one key focus, would you watch BTC’s critical levels, ETH’s 2400, or SOL’s sustained strength? #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 #GoogleQ3MixedResults Perpetual contracts are coming to the US. Intercontinental Exchange, the parent company of the NYSE, is partnering with Trade.xyz to bring perpetual contracts into the regulated US market.
This news hasn't caused much of a stir, but it could be the most important change in the derivatives space in the past two years. Perpetuals are the flagship product of offshore exchanges, with no expiration date, allowing indefinite leveraged positions, supporting the entire contract market's trading volume. They've always operated in a gray area: US retail investors wanting to trade have to go through offshore platforms, keeping funds in unregulated places, and if something goes wrong, they have no recourse. Now, a domestic exchange group is proactively incorporating this product category, effectively giving it a legal status.
The price is that leverage is being put under control. Low leverage, mandatory margin, and clearinghouse endorsement mean that 100x contracts won't appear in this product. In the short term, this will blunt $BTC's intraday spikes. Offshore platforms rely on high leverage to create chain liquidations, but this won't work in a compliant market, so the market-moving spikes wiping out tens of millions will become less frequent.
However, reduced volatility does not mean reduced risk; the risk is shifting from the order book to the system. Clearing is backed by centralized institutions, and under extreme market conditions, issues like shutdowns, margin call failures, and forced liquidation queues—old problems in traditional futures markets—may arise, which the crypto space hasn't encountered before.
$ETH and SOL will be affected later, as their contract liquidity originally depended more on offshore platforms.
When reading this news, don't just focus on the partnership itself; pay attention to who is setting the rules for perpetual contracts.$XAU gold current price is $4023, the whole network is cutting losses, but the whales' trump cards have already been revealed.
Brothers, gold prices fell again today, spot gold intraday decline expanded to 1%, quoted at $4023.82
The screen is full of "gold has peaked" and "bull market is over," the panic can be felt through the screen.
But if you zoom out a bit and see what has happened in the past few months.
Since September, COMEX gold has fallen more than 9%, once breaking below the $4000 integer mark, domestic gold ETFs have shrunk by more than 18 billion yuan in total scale, and gold stock ETFs have fallen more than 24%.
The whole network is shouting "the safe-haven logic has failed," but no one tells you that this round of gold decline is not about "credit," but about "liquidity."
Guotai Fund's analysis puts it bluntly: the transmission chain of this round of gold decline is not the traditional safe-haven logic at all
But rather "oil price surge → inflation rekindling → interest rate hike expectations heating up → real interest rates rising → suppressing non-yielding assets," gold has instead become the "loser" in the energy inflation trade.
Even worse, the AI sector correction triggered localized deleveraging, forcing investors to sell the most liquid gold to replenish margin.
In plain language: it's not that gold is failing, it's that the market is short on cash, so gold is the first to be cut. This is a liquidity shock, not a credit crisis. In the evening, the three major mainstream cryptocurrencies all slipped down together, with declines around 2%. The Federal Reserve did not move, and the market is calculating a rate hike in December. Under this market condition, whether BTC, ETH, and SOL can hold depends on whether there is real money behind them.
$BTC near 80115, money is coming in but the price doesn't rise 💰
Down 1.62% in 24 hours. Spot ETFs have had net inflows for three consecutive days, totaling $424 million, turning October into a net inflow of $111 million. But the 50-day moving average at 81831 is pressing down, and Glassnode says buy orders around 80,000 only have $3.4 million left, with large orders moved to 78000-79000.
$ETH near 2318, ETFs bleeding every day 🩸
Down 2.16% in 24 hours. Ethereum ETFs saw another $21 million outflow on Wednesday, totaling $1.35 billion outflow in October. Glamsterdam says the mainnet launch is in Q4, but the date is not set.
$SOL near 100, tug-of-war at the round number 🪚
Down 2.51% in 24 hours, at 100.1, just 0.1 away from breaking 100. The future asset securities Hong Kong subsidiary just issued tokenized notes on Solana, but institutional note issuance is a different matter from coin price.
BTC is supported by ETF money. Ethereum looks the worst among the three, with $1.35 billion running out in a month, and without a fixed upgrade date, it's hard for anyone to come back. SOL has news but no buying pressure; if 100 cannot be reclaimed, it is the most vulnerable to a spike down.

Samsung Q3 Earnings Report: The Most Profitable Ever, Yet Still Disappointing the Market
On October 29, Samsung Electronics delivered a "split" Q3 report: operating profit set the highest single-quarter record ever for a tech company, but net profit dragged the stock price down.
Key data at a glance:
📊 Revenue 195.25 trillion KRW, +127% YoY, record-breaking for the fourth consecutive quarter
💰 Operating profit 107.44 trillion KRW, +783% YoY, +20% QoQ, first global tech company to surpass 100 trillion KRW in a single quarter
📉 Net profit 75.21 trillion KRW, market expectation 89.06 trillion, nearly 14 trillion short
📈 Operating margin 55%, but net margin fell from 41.8% in Q2 to 38.5%
Semiconductors are the sole engine and the only "problem." The DS division posted 106.5 trillion KRW in operating profit for the quarter, contributing over 99% of the group's profit, with a margin as high as 72%. HBM4 ramp-up, server SSDs in short supply, and price hikes across all storage categories drove storage revenue to 140.7 trillion KRW, a staggering 427% YoY increase. Yet even this "money printer" fell short of analysts' optimistic forecast of 108.5 trillion KRW by about 2 trillion. The market isn't upset that it earned less, but that it didn't squeeze even higher margins amid the peak AI storage demand and tight supply.
On the other hand, smartphones are "repaying debt" to semiconductors. The MX division's revenue grew to 37.7 trillion KRW YoY, but operating profit was -600 billion KRW, compared to +3.6 trillion KRW last year. The irony: smartphones need memory, and memory price hikes are the source of Samsung Semiconductor's profit surge. Within the same group, the more upstream earns, the tougher it is for downstream terminals.
The net profit gap lies outside operations. Financial expenses of 9.5 trillion KRW reduced pre-tax profit from operating profit of 107.4 trillion to 98.5 trillion KRW, and after deducting 23.4 trillion KRW in income tax, net profit fell to 75.21 trillion KRW. This is a non-operating impact, not a slowdown in the core business, but the market showed no patience for explanations amid record profits.
After the earnings release, Samsung's stock price dropped over 6% intraday. Capital expenditure was simultaneously raised to 84.4 trillion KRW (52.7 trillion in 2025), with 76.8 trillion related to chips. This was interpreted short-term as cash flow consumption and mid-to-long term as raising concerns about whether expansion might prematurely end the storage boom.
However, industry signals have not weakened. Samsung itself warned that chip supply shortages will be more severe next year than in 2026, and plans to mass-produce HBM4E in the first half of 2027 are progressing. The drop reflects the gap of over ten trillion between single-quarter net profit and optimistic expectations, not the underlying AI storage narrative.
In summary: Semiconductors have pushed Samsung to unprecedented profit heights, while smartphones and non-operating items have brought it back under market scrutiny. Record-breaking is true, and falling short of expectations is also true. "A 1.99% buffer against the volatility of $DOGE with 50x leverage—this is the most dangerous aspect of this position."
$DOGE 50x long, 0.07659→0.07812, +99.88%. Conversely: if it falls about 2.00%, that 99% gain disappears entirely.
What does 2.00% mean for $DOGE? A normal downward spike, or even a large sell order hitting the order book. In other words, this position doesn't require any fading of bullish momentum, no trend reversal, nor anyone deliberately shorting—it only takes a technical pullback to wipe it out.
50x leverage magnifies 1.99% into 99%, and likewise magnifies 2.00% into zero. It offers huge profits but is always ready to take them back.
The market itself is holding up: price is running high. But key support below is not far away.
So I never decide to close based on "how much profit" I have, only on how far it is from the cost line. 1.99% looks like a buffer, but market volatility never makes sense.
The only move: push to break even, at worst lock in zero, and avoid expanding exposure. $BTC $ETH #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 My judgment on what will happen: 1. The probability of exceeding expectations is high, but it's not the main focus. Understanding EPS adjusted from $46.11 one month ago to $46.67, and $43.94 three months ago — the expectation is a monthly upward revision, indicating the industry chain's prosperity is being realized (SK Hynix, Micron, Seagate, Western Digital all reported strong results). Along with a history of four consecutive beats, an EPS of $48-52 is the baseline argument. But the stock price reaction depends not on what has already happened, but on the Q2 guidance. 2. The three numbers that truly determine the stock price: What to watch and why the passing line matters. Q2 revenue > $12.87 billion (consensus). If below this figure, the market will start to believe the "cycle has peaked." Whether gross margin can rise again quarter-over-quarter is the top signal of the storage cycle's peak; gross margin always levels off first, not revenue. Whether NAND contract prices have another round of increases is the only evidence of pricing power. 3. A fact you must know: the market is already betting on your "peak." Stock price $1,404.77, TTM EPS $46.07 → static PE 30.5x. But based on FY2027 EPS $208.94 → forward PE only 6.7x. A company that has risen 641% in 52 weeks, with a forward PE of only 6.7x — this shows the market fundamentally does not believe the $208 figure can be sustained. The rule for storage stocks is: the lowest PE is the most dangerous because that is when profits are hottest. 4. Results and corresponding price levels: Exceeding expectations + strong guidance (Q2 > $14 billion) probability 35% +12% ~ +2 Who exactly is making money from crypto trading? The people who profit and the people who "trade crypto" are often not the same group.
On the retail side, about 70% of trading addresses incur losses, while the top 0.0385% of addresses take more than 70% of the profits; over 60% of frequent traders lose money, and among a sample of 450,000, only 254 made over $10,000.
So who is taking the money? Exchanges and market makers first take fees, profiting regardless of market conditions; insiders and manipulators exploit information asymmetry and structural advantages to harvest profits, coordinated wallets simultaneously dump assets; KOLs show public wallet losses while their related wallets profit.
The so-called "nearly 60% profitability" mostly comes from veteran players who have survived three years, while those who lost money and exited are not counted. Survivor bias is the biggest filter in the crypto world.
In short: the money made from crypto trading is not from "trading" itself, but from fees, information asymmetry, structural advantages, and harvesting rights. Retail investors are not investors—they are liquidity itself.
Therefore, both those who have lost and those temporarily profiting are just liquidity. People are inherently self-righteous, deceiving themselves and being deceived by others. They believe they are smarter than others, so we all remain in the market to prove our uniqueness, to prove we are the one-in-a-million dragon or phoenix, unaware that such cases are extremely rare.This morning I said the 14.49 million redemption by HyperLabs was nothing, but then at noon another transaction came: a certain whale transferred 387,000 HYPE to Coinbase, which at the current price I pulled is just over 30 million.
Today's HYPE news basically all goes in one direction. But the market here, current price 79.4, 24-hour low 78.14, after the morning dump it pulled back, and the fee rate is still slightly positive.
The volume comparison is even more interesting: OKX's HYPE 24-hour trading volume is 1.81 million, and this one transfer accounts for one-fifth of that, while the open interest remains steady near 100 million USD without moving. Money is moving towards exchanges, and the price still holds above 78.
78 has held twice today. When the third time will come, and whether it will hold again, I won't guess. No position changes, just watching.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 As soon as the no-rate-hike hammer dropped, the sprinting postures of BTC, ETH, and $SOL were completely different:
BTC indeed acted as the leader of the relief rebound, once climbing back above 81,000. After an early morning dip to 79,919, it quickly recovered. The spot ETF's net inflow for three consecutive days confirms institutional pricing of "bad news fully priced in." However, Powell emphasized that inflation remains too high, combined with December rate hike disagreements and high US Treasury yields, making a unilateral surge before the midterm elections on the 3rd unlikely. The 80,000 level remains the core battleground between bulls and bears.
ETH is arguably the weakest among the mainstreams, with a weak rebound of less than 0.5% after the decision, completely missing the dividend. The root cause lies in continued institutional selling: last week, the ETH spot ETF saw a net outflow of $576.9 million over five days, the largest five-day outflow this year, indicating structural liquidation. Without reclaiming 2,400, a reversal is hard to say, and its high Beta characteristic is temporarily abandoned by institutions.
SOL is the L1 standout, with the Alpenglow upgrade providing an independent narrative combined with ecosystem support, rebounding over 1.2% after the decision, showing clear on-chain capital preference. In the short term, SOL's ecosystem resilience is sufficient, but under macro pressure, overall caution against pullbacks is advised, with light positions for defense.
The Federal Reserve maintained rates unchanged, with December rate hike disagreements heating up $BTC $ETH $ZEC 20261029
3. Large holders hold onto BTC without selling, while retail investors frantically move coins into exchanges; it hasn't been this intense in half a year
1. First, look at retail investors
In April, $5.5 billion worth of BTC was transferred to exchanges in one month; now it's $10.75 billion, doubling
Transferring coins doesn't equal selling, but coins entering exchanges means they can be sold anytime. Retail investors are scared; with the price stuck at 80,000, they want to rebound and recover losses quickly by selling
2. Then, look at the whales
Since the end of August, transfers have decreased by 36%. The volume transferred by retail investors is 2.8 times that of whales
They accumulated at low prices; selling at 80,000 isn't profitable. October's inflation data dropped by 3.3%, yet they remain inactive—not fleeing but waiting for better prices
3. Next, see who will sell
If the price rises further, large holders still won't move; all sellers will be retail investors, who will collectively flee halfway through the rise
If large holders move, sellers will double, and the crash will be faster
4. From Wednesday to Friday this week, BTC must pass through three hurdles; the first hurdle has been cleared
1. First hurdle
The Fed meeting on Wednesday has concluded, maintaining interest rates unchanged, but that doesn't mean December rates won't change
Reuters asked 100 economists: all 100 raised their hands for a rate hike in December
Some institutions also said: it's too close to the November 3 midterm elections; even if a hike is due this week, it can't happen
2. Second hurdle
Thursday's inflation data release is expected at 3.7%, while the Fed's target is 2%. The last rate cut fizzled out late, causing Bitcoin to drop from 82,000 to just over 60,000
3. Third hurdle
On Friday, $11 billion worth of Bitcoin bets expire, the largest in history📊 Latest Whale Activity Summary on the Evening of October 29 🐳
The whale market currently shows a strong sense of division. Although the bears hold an absolute advantage in total positions, the bulls are outperforming them in profit and loss ratio 📉.
From the overall data, the total whale positions reach $10.816 billion, with short positions at $5.811 billion, clearly heavier than the long positions at $5.004 billion.
But looking at profits and losses, the longs currently have unrealized gains as high as $109 million 📈, while the heavily held shorts are suffering unrealized losses of $42.6293 million.
Regarding funding fees, it's the same old story: the bulls are continuously bleeding, having cumulatively paid $66.5042 million;
while the bears comfortably collected $112 million in funding fees 💰
The bulls are holding on through funding payments, the bears are earning interest, but the market price favors the bulls.
Looking at the latest specific whale moves:
The most active shorting is on ETH: two consecutive "sell to open short" trades (1.0156 million, 1.8539 million) indicate strong conviction in shorting Ethereum.
On the BTC side, the divergence is extreme: some addresses are "selling to open short" at levels of 870,000 and 1.17 million, but there are also big players dropping $4.4435 million to "buy to open long."
The most intriguing move: a whale directly "buying to close short" for $4.2913 million, indicating some previously profitable shorts are choosing to take profits and exit or admit defeat at the current level.Data as of 18:40: HYPE is at 82.96, up 1.3% in 24 hours. The most recent hourly candle surged from 79.2 to 83.0 in one go, +4.6% in a single hour, +5.3% over three hours; meanwhile, the entire basket dropped between 1.5% and 3.7%, BTC is at 80,202, down 1.55% in 24 hours. This is not a follow-up rally; it’s standing on the opposite side. First, let's clarify the easiest misinterpretation: this is not a short squeeze. Open interest only increased by 1.16%, short liquidations totaled $2,628, barely a ripple; funding rate is 0.005%, close to zero after settlements, and the long-to-short ratio is 1.74. A short squeeze is when leverage is pushed up to raise prices, but this market is not that—it’s real money on the spot side taking chips away, and shorts no longer dare to add more positions. Why this round? Two real events overlapped. The first: the unlocking window for 9,920,000 tokens is imminent, worth about $785 million at current prices. This sword hanging for a long time has already been priced in by the market; by the time it lands, those who want to sell have already sold, and only the buyers remain. The second: the HIP-3 whitelist mechanism has launched on the testnet. Payward, the parent company of a long-established overseas exchange, is set to be the first deployer regulated under the US Commodity Futures regulatory framework. The deployer must stake 500,000 tokens locked for 183 days. Connecting the US-compliant perpetual channel to its own ledger is the most valuable part of the valuation.Market Overview｜Bullish Crowding, BTC, ETH, SOL Leverage Sentiment Heating Up
The Federal Reserve's early morning decision released a hawkish signal, with inflationary pressures not yet fully alleviated, suppressing short-term market sentiment. GDP and PCE data will be released tonight, and macro variables remain unresolved. The more one-sided the sentiment, the more cautious one should be about reverse fluctuations.
From the borrowing data, BTC bulls borrowed 1324.08 BTC, while bears only 72.88 BTC; ETH bulls borrowed 16,100 ETH, bears 856.89 ETH; SOL bulls borrowed 106,700 SOL, bears 3,412.31 SOL. The three major mainstream assets all show a pattern where bullish borrowing significantly exceeds bearish borrowing, indicating a clear clustering of leveraged bulls.
This means market bullish sentiment is concentrated but also increases volatility risk under crowded trades. Around the release of macro data, if expectations diverge, short-term reverse fluctuations may be amplified. What deserves more attention now is the resonance between sentiment and data, rather than a single direction.
This is only market data recording and does not constitute any investment advice.

#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $ETH brothers, after the FOMC announcement, Bitcoin and Ethereum didn't rise but fell instead, but the reason for this sell-off is completely different from before.
$BTC $80,140 | $ETH $2,319
Bitcoin slid from above 81,700 to around 80,140, Ethereum dropped from 2,391 to 2,319, down about 2.2% in 24 hours. The whole network liquidations reached $259 million, with shorts accounting for $156 million, a 60% ratio.
The Federal Reserve held steady, but the two dissenting votes scared the market. The FOMC voted 10:2 to keep rates unchanged, with two officials advocating a 25 basis point hike. This was the most divided vote since 2023, Powell gave no dovish signals, and risk assets surged then pulled back.
But one signal is more worth watching than the price: leverage didn’t keep up at all. This rebound was driven by short covering, not new leverage entering, so the drop is also fast.
ETF funds are still flowing in, but the differentiation is obvious. On the 28th, Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of $137 million, with IBIT alone accounting for $136 million. Ethereum ETFs had a net outflow of $21.4 million, ETHA lost $44.8 million, and Fidelity’s FETH gained $18.8 million, which couldn’t make up the difference.
Technically, BTC’s 80,000 is near the 365-day moving average; holding this level is necessary for recovery space. ETH’s 2,300 is a psychological threshold Saw the news: "A certain Bitcoin ETF's asset size has hit a new high again!" Did you immediately think: institutions bought a lot more coins?
Hold on, an increase in asset size could also mean the coins originally held have appreciated in price.
For example, if you own a house valued at 1 million that rises to 1.1 million. Your total property value increased by 100,000, but you didn't buy another house.
The same logic applies to ETFs. Suppose a fund holding only Bitcoin had assets originally worth 10 billion; ignoring fees and no new subscriptions, if BTC rises 10%, the size can also increase to about 11 billion.
So, "size growth of 1 billion" and "net inflow of 1 billion" are two different things.
When looking at related news, you can compare fund size, coin holdings, circulating shares, and net inflow data together, aligning the dates. Don't mistake appreciation from price increases as new buying.
Next time you see "size hits a new high," you'll know which items to check further.
Next article will discuss a contract issue: when positions are clearly profitable, why are they still automatically reduced?ETF has had net inflows for three consecutive days, yet the coin price has fallen back below 80,000. Do these two markets seem like they're each doing their own thing?
Yesterday, the spot ETF had another net inflow of $137 million, marking the third consecutive day. I casually checked OKX's price; the current price is 80,287, with a 24-hour low of 79,666, still hovering below 80,000.
The futures side is even more interesting. Open Interest is still $2.58 billion, and this drop barely caused any withdrawals. The fee rate is 0.035%, and almost no one is eager to go long.
My stance: don't treat the ETF's slow money as a bottom-fishing signal. Institutions will rebalance their portfolios as they see fit, and they will boost prices as they please. Below 80,000, I'll keep watching the show and won't add any long positions.
#美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 $GOOGL, why hasn't a 25% revenue growth alleviated concerns? Alphabet's Q3 revenue was about $127.6 billion, but below market expectations; net profit dropped from about $35 billion last year to about $26.2 billion, with earnings per share of $2.12 also impacted by equity investment losses. Revenue expansion and profit decline coexist, and the market will question the return on capital expenditure. If advertising and cloud growth improve cash flow and investment losses can be excluded, the fundamentals remain strong; if spending rises and profit margins continue to decline, I would lower the valuation. Why is the sentiment in the crypto community so cold around Bitcoin's $80,000 mark? Because Bitcoin's price no longer represents the account balances of most retail investors.
The core reason is that many people's main holdings are not in Bitcoin but in altcoins, which can drop 90% and then fall another 90%. Repeated crashes, unlocking, and chasing hot trends have drained not only confidence but also the principal needed to keep participating. Some people don't want to play anymore; they simply don't have the money to continue.
Those who remain are also less willing to pay up. Projects launch with fully diluted valuations of tens of billions of dollars before their products and revenues have proven themselves, selling future expectations to retail investors in advance. New narratives lack breakthroughs, old concepts are repackaged to keep issuing tokens, and Meme has become a zero-sum game of speed and information asymmetry. After several rounds of harvesting, people naturally don't want to easily carry the burden again.
Moreover, capital has more options now. Binance announced on October 15 that its tokenized US stock product bStocks has accumulated over $40 billion in trading volume, with assets under management exceeding $1 billion. This doesn't directly prove that altcoin funds have moved to US stocks, but it does indicate that US stock assets are competing for the same users' money and attention. When participating in US stocks becomes as convenient as buying crypto, why should crypto projects expect investors to keep paying for a story that hasn't yet been realized?
Adding macroeconomic uncertainty makes it even harder for capital to sustain high risk. The market isn't completely lacking liquidity; rather, there isn't enough incremental capital willing to flow into altcoins, and the limited funds are increasingly dispersed across more tokens.Someone asked me, since the contracts are at a discount, is it time to look for a downside? My answer is just one sentence: Hold on!
Let me first present the evidence. BTC perpetual contracts are trading at about a 0.04% discount relative to spot, with shorts dominating the contracts. On the other side of the spot order book, buy orders within ±1% are actually thicker than sell orders. Buyers are reaching out first; contracts are calling for shorts, spot is taking the bids—these are not the same play.
Now looking at positions. In the past day, BTC positions shrank by 1.26%, ETH by 0.75%, SOL by 1.69%, ZEC by 10.99%. The total network positions also shrank by 1.98% to 140.507 billion, but volume actually increased by 22.61% to nearly 198 billion. Volume up, positions down—more are exiting than entering, so I’m not calling a reversal.
But the short-term picture has changed flavor. In the last hour, BTC positions increased by 0.03%, SOL by 0.15%, ETH only shrank by 0.07%, ZEC only shrank by 0.03%. The four coins basically held steady, and the momentum of a collective pullback paused. BTC is still holding above 80,000, hovering around 80,110; SOL is also sticking close to 100 without letting go. The round number support hasn’t been lost, so buyers dare to keep their bids.
So here’s my plan: before tonight’s data release, I won’t chase shorts or bottom-fish. As long as buy orders remain thick above 80,000, I’ll hold my positions and wait for the discount to narrow. If bids thin out and 80,000 breaks, I’ll exit immediately—no stubborn holding!Today is October 29, 2026. Welcome to the 4th issue of the Old Wei Bitcoin Diary market commentary:
Last night, we were all watching the Federal Reserve's interest rate changes. Today, let's do an in-depth summary.
1. Interest Rate Path:
With ten votes in favor and two against, the rate was held steady in October. However, combined with the statements from Waller and Basset and the CME probabilities, the market is betting on a 25 basis point hike in December, and possibly a 50 basis point hike in January next year. The two dissenting votes came from extreme hawks within the Democratic camp—Cook (who has always opposed Trump) and Harker (who openly called for a "sharp rate hike"), reflecting that there are still hardline voices within the Democratic Party.
2. Two Major Federal Reserve Reforms:
First, the Fed will cancel forward guidance and no longer provide the market with a future interest rate path unless a crisis occurs. This effectively cuts off the "invisible power" of the past twenty-plus years, returning pricing power to the market and economic data;
Second, starting next fall, the number of voting meetings will be reduced. In 2027, there will be one meeting for discussion only without decision-making, and in 2028, there will be two meetings without even interest rate votes. On the surface, this is a schedule adjustment, but in essence, it reduces the Fed's short-term influence on financial markets.
3. Logic for the Crypto Circle:
Previously, the biggest uncertainty in cycles came from the Fed "turning hostile" and policy reversals. If the Fed truly transforms into a data-driven, less interventionist neutral institution, the market variables will be significantly reduced. Risk assets like cryptocurrencies and U.S. stocks will actually benefit from this loosening reform that returns pricing power to economic data and the market itself. In the long run, this is a "loosening" for risk assets. #美联储维持利率不变，12月加息分歧升温 Is the rebound before the Federal Reserve news a trend reversal or the last liquidity gathering before a waterfall drop?
My short positions are still open here, but honestly, it's not easy. On October 29, BTC is currently around 80,300 USDT, down 1.53% in 24 hours; ETH is about 2,325.55 USDT, down 1.90% in 24 hours. Both had intraday spikes followed by pullbacks, with BTC peaking at 81,788.56 and ETH at 2,391.55, indicating selling pressure remains above.
From the daily chart, BTC RSI(6) is 37.69, ETH is 31.19, both near short-term lows; however, both MACDs are still in a death cross, BTC's moving average structure is mixed, and ETH's supertrend remains bearish. Although there is net inflow of large orders, the trading volume is only about 49% of the 7-day average. I prefer to interpret this as a probe before the news rather than a clear reversal.
Before the Federal Reserve announcement, the market is most prone to liquidity sweeps both up and down. My short position size is not large; I am not betting on a one-sided waterfall drop. If the price continues to surge, I will keep room to cover and do T trades to reduce costs. What really matters is whether there is a volume-supported breakout or another failure after the spike.
The above is only market analysis and does not constitute investment advice. A quarter-end unrealized gain of $20.9 billion hits the books, yet no new grain is seen at the barn door—this is the divergence between the green shoots account and the actual receipts account.
An old farmer looks at the land by first checking the weather and then the soil moisture. That big holder hoarding Bitcoin crops will only reveal their Q3 financial report after the U.S. market closes on October 29, but the preliminary yield estimate is already laid out in the sun: a fair value gain on digital assets of about $20.9 billion. By October 4, about 848,000 Bitcoin crops were still in the field, and they had just repurchased approximately $176 million in preferred shares. What does this look like? Like standing on the ridge before harvest estimating the yield—tall stalks and heavy ears don’t mean the grains are already stored; a gust of wind can flatten the crop, forcing a recalculation of the green shoots on the books.
In the bull and bear seasons, during sowing you watch the water source, during harvest you watch the granary capacity, and in the cold winter you watch the soil fertility. The current rise in unrealized gains is like a sudden soaking rain during the grain-filling period—the landlord’s face lights up, but where the irrigation channels lead, whether the water cellar is filled, and whether the granary capacity expands—that’s the real story. Repurchasing preferred shares is like first filling in the old accounts of the water cellar to stabilize rent and morale; if the book gains continue to grow, financing methods might shift from short channels to long channels for water storage, and capital allocation will first focus on replenishing granary capacity, fixing fences, and saving seeds before expanding planting. No rush—if the accumulated temperature isn’t enough, early sowing will only rot the seedlings.
The linkage with the tokenized stock target is more like the grain tickets on the drying ground following the mother granary’s yield estimate. When the mother granary’s numbers rise, the drying ground gets lively; but grain tickets ultimately depend on actual receipts, settlement, and whether the irrigation channels have dried up. The $20.9 billion unrealized gain is chaff blown far by the wind during winnowing—not every grain falls into the sack. The tighter the linkage, the more people watch the soil moisture, and the easier it is to leave chaotic footprints on the ridge; the mid-to-long term focus should be on the financing irrigation channels and capital allocation seams, not the chaff stirred up by a gust of wind.
The $20.9 billion on the books isn’t millet—it’s green shoots that can be changed by the wind; once the financing irrigation channels change course, the first to suffer drought will always be the newly sown row. #strategyq3btcgains#Federal Reserve Holds Interest Rates Steady, December Rate Hike Disagreement Heats Up
After the FOMC dust settles, the market enters a bottoming and oscillating phase.
BTC found support after dipping to 79666, currently trading narrowly around 80210; ETH dipped to a low of 2292, now at 2322, with hourly volatility narrowing and volume significantly shrinking.
The unchanged interest rate is only a superficial result; the real pressure comes from the tug-of-war over December rate hike expectations.
The market is reluctant to make a unilateral bet, with both bulls and bears choosing to wait and see, resulting in a sideways consolidation pattern. The 20-day moving average still exerts downward pressure; this round is just a weak consolidation after a sharp drop, not a reversal.
Resistance at 80500 and 2335 is the first short-term barrier, while the lower lows serve as the defensive bottom line. The market will continue to fluctuate with upcoming inflation data.

"Last chance before the earnings report, rather than chasing after it takes off, better to position now.
The long-term logic is very strong: 15 institutions unanimously buy in, average target price 2205, the most optimistic sees 3000, the most conservative also gives 2000.
Short-term rhythm to watch: upper resistance first looks at the 1430-1500 range, below 1350 is the lifeline (moving average + dense chip area). If it falls below 1350, bulls will directly give up.
A reminder: after-hours earnings expected to have a 12% amplitude, profit and loss share the same source, don't over-leverage, set stop-loss properly!"$BTC contract longs are still crowded above 78,000, with liquidity below 80,000 pointing to the 79,700 area.
The contract market flavor is getting stronger. BTCUSDT is currently around $80,195.90, down 1.37% since UTC midnight, with a 24-hour range stretched to $79,666.90–$81,759. From a short perspective, this is not calm after a drop, but a liquidity battle where each rebound is pushed back: longs above are still hoping to recover, but the price never stabilizes.
The 1-hour MACD is still a death cross, DIFF at -216.02, green bars at -59.82; price is below the MA25 at $80,666.19, super trend pressure at $81,116.78 and maintaining downward. What worries me more is that current volume is only about 0.48 times the 7-hour average volume, so the rebound lacks sufficient volume support. The market seems to be sideways but is actually wearing down long patience.
The recent funding rate on the contract side is +0.0053%, with the next estimated at +0.0072%, meaning longs are still paying fees; the overall long ratio across accounts is about 68.96%, and top traders’ long ratio by position value is 67.33%. With longs crowded and positions increasing by 0.38% in the last hour, I’m more focused on whether stop-loss and liquidation liquidity below will be triggered in concentration.
I will not treat the short-term rebound as a trend reversal. $CT the end of the project with TVL over 1B but the Token is terrible, proving the project cannot develop long-term, holders of the CT Token do not benefit from anything from the project itself.
