Conclusion first: $GRVT surged from 0.218 to 0.261 within 3 hours after 9 PM last night, now at 0.2387, down -8.6% from the peak.
The driver is Mirae Asset Securities (HK), the Hong Kong subsidiary of Korea's Mirae Asset: they arranged a tokenized funding note issuance, subscribed by Grvt, with exposure used for their own Grvt Earn.
But the on-chain funds don't match: DefiLlama shows only $34.02 million in the Grvt bridge, down 70% from the March 22 peak of $113.7 million; CoinGecko market cap is $27.28 million, FDV $238.66 million, with only 11.4% circulating.
The action is on exchanges: OKX perpetual 24-hour volume is $22.22 million, open interest only $3.05 million; funding rate at floor price 0.00005, premium -0.05%, indicating buying turnover in perpetuals, not a short squeeze, spot 24-hour volume only $6.1 million.
So institutional money is going into on-chain products, not the $GRVT token; you are holding the 11.4% circulating supply, FDV 8.75 times market cap portion. Grvt Earn is also only open to qualified users and permitted jurisdictions.
What do you think: with broker money stuck on-chain and not moving, how much premium is left on the token? My judgment: DOGE has a higher chance to experience a rapid rise first when risk appetite recovers; FIL also has room for a catch-up rally, but sustained strength depends more on project demand improvement and easing supply pressure. Based on current data, I do not yet believe a full altcoin bull market has been confirmed. The Altcoin Season Index on October 27 was about 57, which has not reached the usual confirmation threshold of 75 for an altcoin season. 1. First, look at the current positions of FIL and DOGE 2. From November to Q1 2027: three market scenarios The following prices are scenario ranges I set based on current prices, volatility characteristics, and macro conditions, not target prices that will definitely be reached. Scenario FIL DOGE Optimistic: ceasefire implemented, capital inflow, altcoin season starts $1.30–$2.00 $0.12–$0.18 Neutral: situation eases, but market remains divided $0.75–$1.25 $0.065–$0.105 Pessimistic: war escalates, interest rates remain high, crypto market declines $0.45–$0.70 $0.045–$0.065 I do not treat the optimistic scenario as the baseline; the neutral range is more suitable as an observation range, and falling below the pessimistic range is also possible. Potential upside from current reference price to the upper bound of the optimistic scenario This also highlights a key point: DOGE does not necessarily rise more than FIL; both have high elasticity, but the driving forces behind their rises are completely different. 3. Why might there be positive factors after the election? 1. Iran ceasefire is the first catalyst October 25 @颜驰 believes that a rebound can be traded, but one should not automatically treat a rebound as a trend reversal. When $BTC approaches 81200, it is safer to first take profits on short-term long positions rather than enduring high funding rates on one side while hoping for a direct surge to a higher level. The risk he repeatedly warns about in this situation is that funding rates remain high, and the possibility of a downward spike cannot be ignored. First, distinguish between two issues: whether short-term long trades are possible, and where to stop taking profits on the rebound—these are not the same. He does not deny short-term longs after a low-level bottoming, but believes traders need to understand what kind of profit they are making. If the rebound opportunity is only due to a break and recovery or a trendline breakout, it should be treated as short-term and not suddenly switched to a long-term position when approaching resistance. The key focus for BTC remains the resistance on the upside rebound. Around 81200 is a frequently mentioned reference point for taking profits on short-term longs, and the range from 81200 to 82200 is included in the observation zone for seeking short opportunities on the rebound. This area does not guarantee a price drop upon touching it, nor is it a stop-loss-free short order alert: he also differentiates between left-side probing orders and right-side confirmations, requiring traders to first clarify which method they are using before discussing position sizing and defense. He specifically corrects a mechanical idea: BTC reaching 81200 does not mean an immediate sharp drop in one candle. The price may first consolidate between 81000 and 82000, and some altcoins may continue to rebound during this time. Therefore, observing BTC's resistance above and the short-term upside potential of other assets can both be true simultaneously; one should not simply tie the rhythm of all assets to the same minute. However, consolidation does not equal an upward breakout. He$BTC holders are starting to collectively lose money! From 75% to 16%, how fast has the market turned?
Stop just staring at $BTC's candlesticks; the chips inside exchanges might be revealing even more painful signals.
On October 27, short-term Bitcoin holders' inflows to exchanges have shifted to being dominated by losses.
The balance of loss and profit inflows changed from +10,400 $BTC a week ago to -18,600 BTC.
Even more striking, in the past week, the proportion of hourly inflows in profit dropped from 75% to 16%.
What does this mean?
A week ago, most chips entering exchanges were still in profit; now, the proportion of profitable chips has clearly shrunk, and the pressure from loss-driven selling is taking over.
This doesn't mean all short-term holders are cutting losses, but the market's chip structure is changing.
As more people move from floating profits to floating losses, two choices usually follow: accept losses and exit, increasing selling pressure; or hold on and wait for a rebound to break even. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 Brazil just demonstrated why 24/7 crypto markets matter.
Sunday: Corporate clients generated 78% of Mercado Bitcoin's trading volume. USDT turnover surged nearly 800% versus the previous Sunday.

This wasn't a memecoin frenzy. Companies were seeking protection from currency volatility.

#TetherFreezes550MUSDT But there’s another side to this. Google still has ground to make up in AI products, while Meta’s challenge is proving that its massive investment will deliver sustainable returns.
In this cycle, spending big gets you into the race. Turning that spending into profitable growth is what separates the winners from the rest.
#MetaAISpendingConcerns Google and Meta are taking different paths to fund the AI race, and the market is weighing more than just how much they spend.
Google’s advantage is its cloud business, which can turn AI demand into revenue. Meta, meanwhile, is spending aggressively while free cash flow comes under pressure, raising questions about how it will finance the next phase without unsettling investors.
#MetaAISpendingConcerns Those in the group who post daily about "NU7 upgrade" and "Grayscale ETF crazy inflows"—doesn't it feel like a scam gang sending official-looking documents and free eggs in the chat? They trick you into feeling ecstatic, thinking you're about to get rich quickly, and you rush in to go long. And the result? Look at the backend data: 68% of retail investors have jumped in. This isn't just boarding the train; it's walking straight into a telecom fraud zone in northern Myanmar! You keep staring On the eve of the data release, the market is extremely fragmented, with all three positions in the account showing floating profits, but structural risks have not been eliminated.
$ETH short position floating profit +39.12% (+621.8U), mark price 2352.64 has widened the gap from the liquidation price 2588.17, with a margin rate of 2334% providing a buffer. However, the funding rate dropped sharply by 56% in the past 24 hours, and ETH broke below the approximately 2350 USD uptrend line, indicating a clear weakening of leveraged long demand. This profit must be partially realized; floating profits should not be held as a drawdown.
$BNB long position floating profit +15.59% (+113.99U), margin rate 930%, with tolerable error margin. After CZ rang the Nasdaq opening bell today, he stated that crypto assets will become the "native currency of AI," hoping BNB Chain will become the main network, providing short-term narrative support. However, it is not advisable to increase exposure before the data; set a trailing stop to secure profits.
$BTC short position floating profit +27.59% (+180.25U), margin rate 2220%, is the account's most resilient trump card. BTC is repeatedly contesting the 80,000 level, with over $150 million in forced liquidations in derivatives in a single day; short liquidations accounted for 58% in the past 12 hours, indicating a shift in short-term selling pressure structure. Volatility will only increase before the Fed decision, so hold onto this trump card.
In terms of operations, reduce ETH positions to lock in profits, move BNB stop loss upward, hold BTC short positions for hedging, avoid betting on one-sided moves, and stay alive until the data is released. #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ The market is warming up, but sector differentiation is obvious. Let me share my observations
Just took a look at the market and the latest ETF data, quite interesting,
Here are some personal tracking notes:
1. A few days ago, ETFs were collectively retreating, but the data on October 21 shows BTC, ETH, and SOL all turning to net inflows. Although it turned positive in a single day, ETH and SOL have still been net outflows over the past 30 days overall; a short-term warming does not mean a complete trend reversal.
2. Market details: Looking at it together, BTC is steady at 80,523, XRP leads in gains. But notably, the platform coin $OKB is the only one showing a slight decline.
3. Key point: The Federal Reserve meeting on October 28 is coming soon.
Personally, I feel that although institutional funds are turning back, it’s not yet a time for full optimism. 85,000 is a relatively important psychological threshold for BTC.
Would like to hear everyone’s thoughts. Do you think the short term is dominated by capital flow or by macro news?
This is just a market record and does not constitute investment advice.

#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
#美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 ZEC Developer Proposal
📝 Zcash co-founder proposes to cancel the automatic community funding grants!
🗞️ The Block: Sean Bowe submitted a draft on October 26, suggesting to stop automatic grants to Zcash Community Grants (ZCG) and transfer the remaining 8% of the block subsidy to the Network Sustainability Mechanism.
📊 Draft data: ZCG holds 91,452.98 ZEC and about $8.8 million in assets, with outstanding grant liabilities of about $2.4 million; under the current 8% allocation, it can generate over $68 million worth of ZEC annually; while Q1 2026 ZCG reported expenditures of about $1.53 million.
🧮 Estimating annual expenditure by multiplying Q1 spending by 4 gives about $6.12 million, so annual income is about 11 times the expenditure (my own calculation).
⚠️ The proposal does not specify an activation height and is not included in the November 5 NU7 upgrade, so it requires a future upgrade to take effect.
This is a proposal, not a decision. I am not sure if it will pass, and I might be mistaken.
📍 Events I am watching:
• Community reaction to the proposal
• Whether the November 5 NU7 activates as scheduled (9 days from now)
Do you think canceling ZCG automatic grants is beneficial or controversial for ZEC?
$ZEC #Zcash #OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek $BTC $ETH $OKB #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ SK Hynix's Q3 earnings report countdown has begun. The market focus is likely not on "whether there is growth," but on the quality of growth: whether the traditional DRAM/NAND cycles continue to recover, and whether the shipments, certifications, and gross margin contributions of HBM high-bandwidth memory can offset the pressures from capacity switching, depreciation, and R&D ramp-up. For the AI computing power chain, Hynix is one of the best windows to observe "demand heat" and "supply fulfillment." This earnings report suggests watching five signals: First, the average prices and inventory digestion of DRAM and NAND to judge if cycle elasticity remains; second, structural gross margin improvements brought by the increased proportion of HBM3E/advanced process nodes; third, customer validation, mass production timetable, and yield metrics for HBM4, especially whether a clearer 2026 volume ramp-up path is provided; fourth, capital expenditure and cleanroom/equipment investment rhythm, being wary of "hot demand but profits eaten up by investments"; fifth, management's statements on the sustainability of AI server demand, cloud vendor order visibility, and competitors' capacity expansions. Scenario-wise, if HBM4 certification and mass production guidance exceed expectations and HBM revenue share continues to rise, the market may revise upward the profit center, with stock price reactions leaning toward a "Davis double play"; if revenue is strong but gross margin is dragged down by depreciation, initial yields, and product mix, short-term gains may be "profit-taking"; if guidance is conservative, the high-valuation AI storage chain may first see sentiment sell-off. Also watch external variables: Korean won exchange rate, U.S. export controls, GPU platform iteration pace, and whether cloud vendors' capital expenditures shift from "stockpiling" to "inventory optimization." Conclusion: HBM4 is not simply a new product story but a key leap for Hynix to convert AI demand into the profit statement. In the short term, watch the earnings report and conference call wording; in the mid-term, watch yields, customer structure, and mass production fulfillment; do not automatically equate "technology leadership" with "quarterly profit margin realization." Volatility will be large; do not let position size and leverage follow sentiment. #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #存储股抛压缓和，AI内存牛市还稳吗？ $BTC remains trapped in a converging range on the hourly chart, and none of the staged downside targets given yesterday have been met — this in itself is a signal. The real risk is not the uncertain direction, but the familiar script before a breakout: whales first sweep out stop losses on both sides, then choose the true direction. So the correct stance now is to "stay put"; wait for an upward BOS on the hourly chart and a real breakout of the converging range before considering short positions around 81700. During this process, the 15-minute chart's bullish moves can be used for tactical hedging; if a downward BOS appears, then place shorts at the pullback zone or FVG. $ETH is in sync rhythmically; once the hourly trendline is broken, 2405 is the first key level for bears to watch. 🎯 But today's real main theme is not the coin price, but the risk reversal in the storage sector. Yesterday we were still discussing buy points for Micron and SanDisk, but today the tone has changed: the false breakout at Micron's 930 high is becoming apparent, with the 4-hour Vegas channel overlay — since the Vegas gold line crossed upward in April this year, signs of a downward cut are now emerging, making this rebound risky. Adjustment levels can be seen at 956-960, with 943 as a transition zone; for SanDisk, watch the false breakout at the 23rd's high of 1318, with resistance around 1335, and long-term bearish traps still lurking at 1400. 📉 In short: the most costly mistake during a consolidation phase is acting too quickly, and the most costly mistake in the storage sector is chasing highs. The storage price hike narrative remains, but prices have started to speak with false breakouts — when Micron and SanDisk bothCapital rotation is worth watching, especially with the FOMC decision approaching.
BTC outflows alongside fresh inflows into ETH and SOL suggest some traders may be repositioning for opportunities beyond Bitcoin. But a single day of flows tells us little about whether this shift has staying power.
The real signal will be whether ETH and SOL continue attracting capital while BTC stabilizes.
That would make this rotation more convincing.
#BTCETFOutflowPressure It seems to be negative news. Currently, there are still 58,067 tokens short of the 5% holding target. That means buying will stop in about four to five weeks, and the market is already pricing in this turning point. However, in the long term, with 5% of the total supply locked, the concentration of chips increases, and selling pressure decreases. Moreover, Bitmine's focus will shift to staking yields and business expansion. Other institutions and funds seeing the returns will also become potential buyers. Ultimately, $ETH will shift from a pure coin-buying narrative to a holding-for-yield narrative.#OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek
#The October FOMC rate decision will be announced this week
BTC is tugging repeatedly around $80,000, and the real risk is a liquidation chain triggered by the FOMC.
There are about $100 million long liquidations near 78.7K below, while a large number of short positions gather at 81.7K and 83.1K above. If Powell signals hawkishly, the risk of dropping to 78K is worth watching; if the tone is mild, a short squeeze could also bring a rebound.
Additionally, with oil prices falling and AI IPOs competing for funds, the market direction remains unclear. Before the rate decision, don't rush to bet on a direction; first see which side's liquidity gets triggered. The market needs to see ETF flows stabilize and fresh spot demand return. Staking reduces liquid supply, but it can not guarantee price appreciation.
With the October FOMC decision approaching, macro sentiment could determine whether ETH finds a solid base or faces another leg down.
The next move depends on whether buyers can absorb the selling pressure.
#OctFOMCDecisionThisWeek In this rare earth price hike cycle, USA Rare Earth shows the greatest elasticity — on OKX xUSAR at 10.06, +11.90%, rising steadily from 8.91 to 10.16 within 24h, staying near the high, with a turnover rate of 4.67% and volume of 4,525, making it quite active among x stock tokens; MA5/30/120 all trending upwards; the underlying stock USAR hit 10.13 intraday, +13.6%.
What’s driving this? At the beginning of October, China’s two major rare earth leaders (Northern Rare Earth and Baogang) raised the price of concentrate for Q4, confirming the price hike cycle. Capital is sweeping domestic rare earth stocks along the China-US supply chain narrative — MP Materials is also rising, and USAR, as the US domestic rare earth permanent magnet benchmark, shows the greatest elasticity, breaking 10 and rising for two consecutive days, with sentiment fully ignited.
My judgment: In a sector rally, pick the high-elasticity leaders; volume of 4,525 with turnover of 4.67% means there are real players trading actively; but this stock is highly volatile and story-driven, so those chasing it need to be clear whether they are buying the cycle or the story.
Watch the signals: a volume breakout above 10.16 (24h high) is a new level; if the underlying stock holds above 10.17 intraday, sentiment remains strong; the key is to watch Q4 price hike execution and linkage with MP Materials — if the leader cools off, the followers will be left exposed.
#xUSAR #RareEarth #USStockToken
Not investment advice, DYORThe logic of this trade is very simple: to capitalize on a weak rebound pullback. Technically, the 81488 level is right below the previously broken dense chip area, which also serves as the resistance zone for this weak rebound. Bitcoin is pulling up from the 80,000 mark, but the volume simply can't keep up, a typical low-volume bull trap. The area from 82,000 to 82,500 is full of trapped positions; the bulls don't have the strength to break through in one go. As long as the rebound stalls near 81488 or forms a long upper shadow, it's an excellent shorting opportunity at a high level. Looking at the macro and news environment, the current overall conditions do not support Bitcoin running an independent rally. The Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting is ongoing, inflationary pressures persist, and long-term US Treasury yields are stubbornly stuck near 5%. With risk-free interest rates so high, funds are seeking safety. On the tech side, Meta's nearly 100 billion financing plan has drained liquidity, and the risks of AI giants burning cash wildly are growing. Coupled with the volatile Middle East situation, oil prices have temporarily fallen but could rebound at any time. Overall risk appetite is extremely fragile. My order placement method is very strict. I place a short order directly at 81488, with a stop loss above 82300. If volume increases and price holds above 82300, it means the short logic has failed; I will admit defeat and exit without holding the position. #ThisWeekAnnouncement Brothers, don't be blinded by those so-called "technological breakthroughs." Today's market looks calm on the surface but is actually turbulent underneath. Take a close look at this extremely contrasting magical reality: on one side, Ethereum researchers are crazily tweeting, celebrating EIP-8025 running successfully on the testnet. On the other side, ETF funds are fleeing nearly $90 million in a single day, Arthur Hayes is dumping to cash out, and even foundation-related wallets are secretly selling coins for U on CoW Swap. They shout about the stars and the sea, but their hands are frantically unloading. The main players' trick of "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Wei River" is really slick. The $ETH price lies like a stagnant pool at 2321. The three EMA lines above are like three mountains pressing down hard, and although the MACD has slightly shrunk the green bars underwater, it can't even reach the zero line.

**The role of HBM4 in Q3**
- **Already contributing incrementally**: 12-layer HBM4 has started mass production and supply, with yields close to mature products, and new shipments maintain high gross margins.
- **Proportion still climbing**: The company expects HBM4 shipments to continue increasing in the second half of the year, driving up the proportion of high value-added products and average selling price.
- **Limited scale in the short term**: Customer platform progress, certification, and capacity expansion are still underway, making it difficult for Q3 performance to be mainly driven by it.
The market focus is: **actual HBM4 shipment volume, sustainability in Q4, and how long general DRAM prices can continue to rise**. Previously, institutions revised earnings expectations upward, mainly factoring in both the realization of high-priced long-term HBM contracts and general DRAM price increases[^5].
Therefore, if this earnings report exceeds expectations, HBM4 will strengthen the valuation story of the “AI storage leader”; the real determinants of profit elasticity remain **the overall prices, shipment volumes, and capacity utilization rates of HBM and DRAM**.DOGE is currently trading around $0.077 to $0.078, with a slight 24-hour increase of 0.5% to 0.8%, but it has dropped about 4.6% over 7 days and nearly 20% over 1 month. Technical outlook is bearish: the price is suppressed below EMA20 (0.0815), EMA50 (0.0841), and EMA200 (0.0910), with all moving averages sloping downward, remaining within the downtrend channel since late September. RSI is around 36, weak but not yet oversold. Immediate support lies between $0.075 and $0.077; if broken, look for support at $0.070 to $0.072. On the upside, $0.087 to $0.088 coincides with the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, representing a strong resistance that must be overcome for a rebound. There is a hidden factor overshadowed by the price action. The 365-day MVRV has dropped to 0.74, indicating that buyers over the past year are on average at a deep unrealized loss; historically, this range often corresponds to near exhaustion of selling pressure rather than the start of a new downtrend. Meanwhile, whales have cumulatively increased holdings by about 600 million DOGE since October 12, with historical cost accumulation of approximately 36 billion DOGE near $0.081. However, there is noise on the ecosystem front: the Dogecoin Foundation has terminated its exclusive partnership with House of Doge, which must pay $400,000 and relinquish exclusivity, with Dogecoin Labs taking over the official commercial role. The quality of defense at $0.075 and whether volume can break above the EMA20 at $0.0815 are more worth watching than any single indicator.SK Hynix Earnings Night, AI Siphoning, Crypto Market Lacking Fuel
SK Hynix's Q3 operating profit is expected to be about 77 trillion KRW, with Citi even betting on 81.3 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 614%. However, the stock price has dropped 52% from its June peak; despite earnings beating expectations, the price can't rise — the market has long priced this in. The real focus is on the HBM4 production schedule and shareholder return intensity discussed in the earnings call.
For the crypto market, the impact of this earnings report is not a "positive," but a "siphoning." Capital expenditure on AI chips in South Korea and crypto are competing for the same pool of risk capital. Bitcoin miners are also shifting hash power toward AI hosting because contract revenue is more stable than mining. DRAM price increases continue to raise mining rig costs, systematically pushing up BTC's marginal production cost. More subtly, the 20-week rolling correlation coefficient between BTC and KOSPI has turned negative to -0.41. When Korean chip stocks fall, BTC doesn't necessarily follow, but the ongoing AI capital cycle continues to absorb incremental funds, leaving crypto lacking upward fuel.
$BTC is stuck in a tug-of-war around the $80,000 psychological level. The Fed is holding steady with an almost open hand, and the real test will be the leverage liquidation chain if $80,000 is breached. $ETH has broken below the 2350 uptrend line, with the 24-hour funding rate plunging 56%. Whales are turning bearish, and the EMA120 (around 2333) is the mid-term watershed that bulls must defend.
The earnings report confirms one thing: AI's capital attraction remains strong, and crypto's "relative weakness" is not a sentiment issue but a structural one.
#OctoberFOMCRateDecisionToBeAnnouncedThisWeek turns AI infrastructure into a capital-structure question, not just a spending one. With Q3 free cash flow negative and capex guided at $135B-$145B, the funding mix may preserve flexibility while putting dilution squarely in view. The real test is whether those assets create durable cash generation before financing becomes a recurring offset to investment.Offering effective: FBEQ tracks the US stock market 500, fee rate 0.09%; FIBT tracks Innovation 100, fee rate 0.19%. Starting with 95% stocks and 5% Bitcoin, each time a component stock pays a dividend, the day after the ex-dividend date at market open, the dividend is used to buy BTC. This buying volume has a ceiling. During quarterly rebalancing, if BTC proportion exceeds 5%, it is cut back to 4.5%; if it surges over 20% between two rebalancings, it must also be cut back to 4.5% within two trading days. Simply put, it is a stock fund with a bit of Bitcoin; before scaling up, the coins exchanged from dividends are very few. The offering being effective does not mean trading has started; the listing date has not been announced yet. So I don't consider it a short-term positive. What matters is that this path is open; in the future, when someone buys a large-cap index, they will conveniently have BTC exposure included. This kind of money is slow but tends to stay. On the market, $BTC is still hovering around 79,800, with a 24-hour high of 80,822 and low of 79,427, funding rate 0.01%. The FOMC decision will be released at Beijing time early morning on the 29th; no one wants to leverage before that. Short-term support zone is 79,400 to 79,550; if it breaks 79,400, reduce positions first. The upper side at 80,350 was tested twice today, with 80,800 capping further rise. Stop loss below 79,200; if it stands above 80,350, reassess.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Preview of SK Hynix Q3 Earnings: With such strong AI demand, why do I still lean towards NO?
AI storage demand is indeed strong, but I am more inclined to believe that Hynix's quarterly earnings will fall short of expectations.
1️⃣ Market expectations are not low
Currently, the market expects Q3 revenue to be about 98.2 trillion to 98.5 trillion KRW, while Q2 revenue was about 79.32 trillion KRW. This means revenue needs to grow about 24% quarter-over-quarter this quarter, which is not a low bar.
2️⃣ Performance divergence was already seen last quarter
Q2 traditional DRAM underperformed expectations, and HBM shipments also fell short of analyst estimates, although net profit and earnings per share significantly exceeded expectations. This shows that strong AI demand does not necessarily mean all performance indicators will beat expectations.
3️⃣ Strong HBM demand does not guarantee performance will exceed expectations
I focus more on actual shipments, DRAM prices, product mix, and profit margins. If HBM shipments fall short or other storage businesses underperform, even with strong demand, the final results may still be below market expectations.
My conclusion: NO, below expectations.
This is not to deny the growth of AI storage, but to say that market expectations are already high, and actual results may not cross this threshold. The above is my personal earnings forecast; the final data will be based on the official release.Akash plans to move the entire chain from Cosmos to Solana. The vote lasted more than a day with about 98% in favor, but its entire compute power market only generates about 0.075 SOL in on-chain fees per day. $SOL is currently around 101. I don't see the direct impact on the coin price as big as everyone is shouting about.
Prop 346 will close around 11 PM Beijing time on 11/2, with a current voting rate of about 59%. After it passes, AKT will be swapped 1:1 for SPL tokens, with an audit taking about 2 to 3 weeks. The migration gateway will be unidirectionally open for two years. The market will need to vote again separately when it truly moves over.
OKX current price is about 101.08 (24h high about 101.55 / low about 99.17). It has been grinding around 100 on the 4H chart all day, dropping but then being bought back. CoinDesk data says that when SOL contracts fell on Monday, open interest actually rose about 3.6%, and the funding rate remains positive.
The ecosystem moving this way is a solid plus, but honestly it feels more like a long-term play. Short term still follows the overall market and the Fed decision early Thursday in Beijing.
If 100 holds and 4H closes back above about 102.7, we can look higher. If 4H closes below about 99.2, it might test 97.
Do you think the project migration counts as real demand for SOL, or is it just narrative padding?
$SOL $BTC
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The $80,000 level has not been effectively broken down, so don't treat every lower wick as the start of a new round of decline. @梁老表's core judgment on $BTC hasn't changed significantly: the daily candle hasn't consistently closed below 80,000, so for now, interpret it as a wide-range consolidation; only if it breaks below and fails to recover within 24 hours is there a basis to expect further downside. Long-term spot holders can talk about patience, but short-term contracts must focus on position and stop-loss. He does not deny the possibility of further downside, nor does he claim that 80,000 is an iron bottom that can never be broken. What he opposes is traders treating 74,000, 75,000, and 76,000 as inevitable stops while the price is still repeatedly contested around the round number. A point of divergence can accommodate two directional judgments; the key is not who shouts more firmly, but which condition actually occurs. First, look at BTC. What he values most is the close, not the intraday spike. A price spike down that recovers is different from a true breakdown and being held below. In his framework, the 80,000 line needs to be judged in combination with the daily close and the duration of the breakdown; you can't chase shorts just because it dips momentarily, nor can you cancel risk boundaries just because it repeatedly recovers. The short-term action is more like a liquidity-clearing tug-of-war. He pays attention to the upper area of 81,000–81,500 and the lower area near 79,000, but he is not certain the lower area will definitely be swept. He reminds that at that time BTC did not have a particularly concentrated single liquidation point, so you can't draw an exact market route from one chart. If it can't break above the top, it may still return to the range to continue consolidating. This means the direction looks When the vulnerability erupts, Core faces three options upfront: do nothing, roll back the ledger, or hard fork forward. The first two options are essentially dead ends. ✅ No fork, no action = waiting to die. The vulnerability will continue to be exploited, continuously releasing a large amount of CORE prematurely, causing inflation to spiral out of control. Tokens will keep getting diluted, market confidence will keep collapsing, the coin price will keep falling, and the entire chain's economic model will directly fail, resulting in a slow death. Choosing to roll back transactions = courting death. If the chain transactions are directly rolled back to forcibly recover all abnormal tokens, although it temporarily eliminates the pressure from ghost tokens, it will directly shatter the core trust foundation of the BTCFi track. Once the project team can arbitrarily rewrite the ledger and revoke confirmed transfers, BTC stakers will doubt that their assets staked on the Core chain can be altered at any time, and no one will dare to stake BTC anymore. The BTCFi narrative will collapse, even causing community splits. So the final solution: hard fork forward (only fix the future, not the past, plug the source of the vulnerability, destroy the 186 million CORE still stuck at the vulnerable addresses; but the 69 million ghost tokens already transferred out will not be rolled back or forcibly recovered, acknowledging the completed on-chain transactions. This is the only survivable choice among the three, but it is a difficult survival, not a direct pass. The hard fork only stops the massive bleeding and preserves the underlying trust of the public chain. Risks still exist: the 69 million ghost tokens could crash the market at any time, compounded by the continuous withdrawal of validation nodes and SatPay delays #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落
OKX Market: Two liquidation levels, waiting for Walsh to "pull the trigger"
OKX community trader "Ouyang Linlin" clearly outlined the liquidation distribution before the meeting: about $100 million long liquidations near $78,701 below, about $61 million short liquidations at $81,705 above, and another $110 million short liquidations at $83,145. Their personal strategy is "no position increase before the rate decision, first see which side between 78.7k and 81.7k gets swept first."
This is not a symmetrical game. The long liquidation volume below is more than 1.6 times the recent short volume above, meaning if the announcement triggers a downward test, the liquidation chain near 78.7k could be more intense in depth and speed than the upward short squeeze. QCP Capital’s judgment points in the same direction: standing pat will confine BTC within the $78,000–$86,000 range, but "a rate decision locking in a December hike" will break the range and push it downward.
The liquidity environment also does not favor the bulls. BTC repeatedly tested $80,000 before the FOMC but failed to hold, barely maintaining net inflows thanks to early-week inflows. The liquidity siphon effect of the Anthropic IPO is also underestimated by the market: if the AI giant’s listing drains risk appetite, BTC faces not only hawkish rhetoric at the $80k level but also competition from capital migrating from high-volatility assets to new stocks.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ It can boost profits, but the main drivers of Q3 earnings are still the price increases of HBM, traditional DRAM, and shipment growth; HBM4 currently serves as an incremental bonus.
SK Hynix is expected to announce its Q3 2026 earnings on **October 28**. Analysts forecast revenue of about **98.2 trillion KRW** and operating profit of about **77 trillion KRW**, potentially setting a record high for six consecutive quarters[^3].
**The role of HBM4 in Q3**
- **Already contributing incrementally**: 12-layer HBM4 has started mass production and delivery, with yields close to mature products, and new shipments maintain high gross margins.
- **Still ramping up share**: The company expects HBM4 shipments to continue increasing in the second half, driving the proportion and average selling price of high value-added products.
- **Limited scale in the short term**: Customer platform progress, certification, and capacity expansion are still underway, so Q3 performance is unlikely to be mainly driven by it.
The market focus is: **actual HBM4 shipment volume, sustainability in Q4, and how long general DRAM prices can continue to rise**. Previous analyst upgrades to earnings forecasts mainly accounted for both the realization of high-priced long-term HBM contracts and general DRAM price increases[^5].
Therefore, if this earnings report exceeds expectations, HBM4 will strengthen the valuation story of the “AI storage leader”; the real determinants of profit elasticity remain the **overall prices, shipment volumes, and capacity utilization of HBM and DRAM**.revenue range after Q2's 25% year-on-year rise, but it does not settle the harder question. AI demand and progress on 18A and 14A matter only if they translate into durable data-center growth and narrower foundry losses. The report should clarify that bridge, or expose how much remains assumed.For the question "No" was chosen. These two things are not contradictory: the long position bets on the storage cycle, while the prediction bets on whether this quarter's report card can exceed consensus expectations. First, why take the long position. AI servers' demand for HBM and high-end DRAM is still rising, and SK Hynix is at the forefront of HBM supply. The recent stock price reflects the market's view that "the boom is not over yet." As long as HBM volume expansion and DRAM price increases are not disproven, the trend remains. Now, why choose No. Last quarter, it did not deliver numbers exceeding expectations, and this quarter, HBM volume expansion and price increases have already been factored into expectations, raising the bar very high. The performance itself can be good, but exceeding such high expectations is much harder. For this earnings report, I mainly focus on three points: HBM shipments and prices, DRAM contract price trends, and management's guidance for the next quarter. There was a divergence in today's market that many ignored: US tech and semiconductor stocks were partying together, the Nasdaq and S&P surged, and the VIX dropped below 18, showing a clear risk-on mood. But what about $BTC? It stayed stuck around eighty thousand all day, with ETH and SOL grinding along, trading volume so thin it was like the market collectively held its breath.
Stocks dare to rise, but the crypto world refuses to follow — this is no coincidence. Coinbase's premium is still negative, indicating that US spot buying hasn't truly returned. This melt-up feels more like a localized tech stock rally, with crypto left out on the sidelines.
Risk appetite has returned, but crypto remains stagnant, so the question is: is it that no one believes, or that no one has the money to catch it? After Wednesday's Fed meeting, this answer will become much clearer.Trump declared: The U.S. will receive the first batch of 1 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil, with "billions of barrels" more to come, saying gasoline and diesel prices will soon plummet. Whether this will be fulfilled is another matter, but this direction is worth watching.
Why is this important? Recently, many have treated the Middle East conflict as a risk-off positive, calling to buy gold and expecting oil prices to skyrocket. But the real transmission chain is: oil rises, inflation sticks, the Fed finds it harder to cut rates, and risk assets get hit together. Conversely, if oil prices are truly suppressed, the inflation thorn loosens, and the whole narrative will turn.
So don’t focus on the word "war" for trading; focus on how oil prices and inflation expectations move. Before the Fed meeting on Wednesday, this line is more important than any headline.#HOODQ3TradingGrowth
Robinhood's Q3 earnings report is about to be released. Looking back at the previous performance data, it’s really impressive: Q2 revenue grew 32% year-over-year to $1.31 billion, and net client deposits surged to $22 billion, hitting a record high.
Currently, its growth foundation looks quite solid: stock options, as a traditional core business, have consistently contributed stable income, while the crypto business has posted an astonishing triple-digit growth for several consecutive quarters; even more exciting is the strong momentum in new business lines—short-term price volatility contracts for Bitcoin, gold, and crude oil have become the fastest-growing categories in the prediction market. Additionally, with the gradual rollout of Robinhood Chain tokenized trading, they are fully penetrating their existing user base of over 28 million into more trading scenarios.
The only minor concern is whether a significant fluctuation in the crypto market might temporarily reduce overall trading activity. But overall, it seems Robinhood has shifted from purely relying on new user acquisition to boost revenue in earlier years to now deeply mining the value of existing users. I’m personally optimistic about the sustainability of this growth and am just waiting for tonight’s earnings report to confirm this judgment.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ AI算力需求持续增长，SK海力士即将公布的第三季度财报，真正值得关注的并非营收能否再创新高，而是HBM业务的高利润率能否持续。
I believe the market needs to verify three questions.
First, can the HBM product portfolio upgrade continue to improve overall gross margin? Second, do HBM4's customer certifications, mass production progress, and order visibility meet expectations? Third, can the traditional DRAM and NAND businesses simultaneously contribute to profits?
There is an easily overlooked logic here: technological leadership does not equal immediate profit realization.
Even if HBM4 has competitive advantages, it still takes time from customer certification to scale delivery; yield, capacity utilization, and capital expenditure will also affect actual profitability.
More importantly, the market often trades not on the financial report itself, but on the gap between performance and expectations.
Even if quarterly profits are strong, if management's guidance for future growth is not optimistic enough, the stock price may still face pressure.
My judgment is that SK Hynix's long-term competitiveness is worth attention, but whether valuation can continue to expand depends on whether future profit growth can be realized.
Do you think HBM4 will further consolidate SK Hynix's leading advantage, or will intensified competition gradually compress its profit premium? 😨 Seeing the long-short data really gives me chills: Bitcoin keeps dropping, yet retail traders' long-short ratio still hangs at 69%, with nearly 70% going long. The funding rate is +0.01%, indicating bulls are still paying to hold their positions. This isn't bottom fishing; it's lining up to be fuel 🔥
The more it falls, the "cheaper" it feels, and leverage keeps stacking higher, like building blocks on the edge of a cliff. Once 79,000 is truly broken, a chain reaction of liquidations will push prices down like dominoes, and even 78,000 might not hold 📉💥
Looking back at history is even more painful: every major bottom saw retail long-short ratios drop below 40%, with desperate cut losses. Now, with 69% bulls still stubbornly holding, it shows panic isn't enough yet; the bottom hasn't been formed 🩸
The big players are probably waiting for this moment—waiting for leverage to pile up, then a big bearish candle will wipe everything out. Don't be the one getting wiped; lighten your positions and wait for a true bottom before entering 💡$BTC Woke up to: Bitcoin surging to 81,000, is it a "real stabilization" or a "fake charge before FOMC"?
The truth behind the "full steam ahead":
It's not new capital aggressively entering, but short covering + successful defense at 80,000, derivatives positions rebounded but spot volume didn't expand
ETF inflow on Monday was 110 million (all thanks to IBIT), but overall October still saw net outflows, institutions didn't really charge in
81,000–82,500 is the "ETF cost wall + 874K BTC chip zone," every rebound meets selling pressure
Is it stable? — Not stable, it's a "bleeding stop rebound"
✅ Holding above 80,000: short-term no crash, 79.2K previous low effective
❌ Not holding 81,200 (4H neckline) + no volume increase: both treated as bull trap
Three proofs of real stabilization: daily close above 81,200 + volume expansion + no pullback after FOMC
BTC: support 79,800 / 79,200; resistance 81,200 → 82,400 → 85K
ETH: support 2,300 / 2,282; resistance 2,360 → 2,422 → 2,500
The change of trend is an illusion, it's a "breather rebound at the 80,000 threshold."
Before FOMC lands, failure to break 81.2K = continued consolidation, only breaking through qualifies as "stable."
Don't get carried away by a single bullish candle, Bitcoin now is like being pulled up after a fall — only bouncing to 81.2K counts as alive. $BTC #Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？

I am personally optimistic about the sustainability of this growth and am just waiting for tonight's earnings report to confirm this judgment.On the eve of the Super Week, the market has entered a quiet game phase, with both bulls and bears watching and waiting for key catalysts to emerge.
$BTC is repeatedly tugging in the 80,000 range. The mainstream market expectation is that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged this time, with the real variable being the bias released in the post-meeting statement. Coupled with the approaching expiration of large BTC options, position games will amplify volatility. 80,000 is a short-term emotional watershed; once broken, the deleveraging trend will continue.
$ETH pressure continues to accumulate, with a significant decline this month. Funding rates have quickly fallen, and bullish leverage willingness has clearly cooled. Pay close attention to the 2180 whale liquidation defense line, which is very close to the current price. If the price breaks below, a chain of forced liquidations could easily trigger a rapid downward move, so the risk needs to be taken seriously.
$XRP's chip structure is biased toward lock-up, with short-term circulating chips shrinking. Even if positive news arrives, buying momentum remains weak, and it has yet to break upward. 1.26 is the support level to watch closely next.
Overall strategy: With intensive news during Super Week, avoid betting on one-sided moves prematurely. BTC awaits Federal Reserve guidance, ETH focuses on the 2180 defense line, BNB pays close attention to the 750 level, and XRP must hold 1.26 to have a chance to stabilize. At this stage, patiently waiting for confirmation signals is much safer than guessing price moves in advance.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The Middle East "oil mine" hasn't been defused yet, but BTC is already bearing liquidity 🔻
Don't rush to label BTC as "digital gold." Right now, it looks more like a high Beta risk asset: high oil prices → inflation expectations rebound → US Treasury yields remain firm → the Fed is very likely to hold steady on 10.29 with a hawkish tone, causing risk assets to be drained of liquidity first. When geopolitical tensions escalate, the crypto market often falls first as a sign of respect 😮💨
The safe-haven narrative will only come into play mid-term: if the conflict drags on and fiat currency credit is questioned, funds may gradually shift to "non-sovereign assets." This is a slow logic, not a switch flipped tonight ⏳
Watch two indicators:
🛢️ Oil price steady above 110 + dovish FOMC: BTC could rebound to 81.2K–82.4K, ETH to 2,360–2,400;
🚨 Brent crude hits 120 + US military action: $BTC breaks below 80K targeting 78K–76K, ETH drops to 2,290→2,180.
Currently $BTC at 79.6K, ETH at 2300, under dual pressure from geopolitics and interest rate decisions, with a bearish oscillation. Oil at 110, BTC at the 80K threshold, both waiting for the starting gun at midnight on 10.29 🔔
Not investment advice, for reference only. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Currently, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot funds are flowing in, but it's uncertain how long this inflow can last.
Bitcoin has seen a 24-hour spot inflow of $141 million, but over the past 30 days, it has accumulated an outflow of -$1.039 billion.
Bitcoin's price has reached $80,600, getting closer to its upper liquidation pain point. According to 24-hour liquidation pain point data: the largest short position pain point is at $81,134, valued at $110 million; the largest long position pain point is at $78,744, valued at $65.277 million. It depends on whether this rebound will reach the $81,000 level. Currently, short positions are still quite risky.
Ethereum has accumulated a 24-hour spot inflow of $73.4439 million, but over the past 30 days, it has accumulated an outflow of -$3.785 billion. This outflow is very large and has a significant impact on Ethereum. It remains to be seen if funds can flow back in later.
Ethereum's current price is around $2,350. The 24-hour liquidation pain point data shows: the largest short position pain point is at $2,358, valued at $16.038 million; the largest long position pain point is at $2,288, valued at $28.911 million.
The price is now very close to the short position pain point. After this short squeeze, will the market continue to rebound? Or will it rise and then fall again? It's hard to say. There is data to be released on Thursday, and I feel the major market movement will happen when the results are announced.BTC is repeatedly tugging at the 80,000 level, but the funds taking over are no longer the same group.
$BTC: Price stuck at $80,659, with $81,500 above being the weighted cost line of ETF investors' holdings, causing intense sell pressure to break even; below $77,500 is the true average market support. More importantly, the capital structure—retail deposits have doubled to $10.75 billion, while the scale of large whales transferring to exchanges has dropped from $5.9 billion to $3.8 billion. Big money is pulling back, retail investors are taking over.
$ETH: $2,353, with October ETF net outflows exceeding $1 billion, marking the worst October performance in eight years, but BitMine increased holdings by over 10,000 coins in the same period, with holdings approaching 5% of circulating supply. Paper ETH is running, but real chips are being accumulated.
$SOL: $101, with Alpenglow upgrade launched and JPMorgan entering the market, positive news fails to push the price, and 480,000 SOL transferred to exchanges creating potential selling pressure. $100 is a psychological battleground fiercely contested by bulls and bears.
Summary: Funds are not fully taking over but rotating structurally—BTC is supported by retail investors, ETH is accumulated by institutions, and SOL is caught between positive news and selling pressure. Before the FOMC decision, chasing highs is less advisable than waiting for confirmation.
#BTC加速拉升，资金还能继续接力吗？ SK Hynix Earnings Night, AI Siphoning, Crypto Market Lacking Fuel
SK Hynix's Q3 operating profit is expected to be about 77 trillion KRW, with Citi even betting on 81.3 trillion KRW, a year-on-year surge of 614%. However, the stock price has dropped 52% from its June peak, and despite earnings beating expectations, the price can't rise — the market has already priced this in. What really matters is the production schedule of HBM4 and the intensity of shareholder returns discussed in the earnings call.
For the crypto market, the impact of this earnings report is not a "positive," but a "siphoning." South Korea's AI chip capital expenditure competes for the same pool of risk capital as crypto. Bitcoin miners are also shifting hash power toward AI hosting because contract revenue is more stable than mining. DRAM price increases continue to raise mining rig costs, systematically pushing up BTC's marginal production cost. More subtly, the 20-week rolling correlation coefficient between BTC and KOSPI has turned negative to -0.41 — when Korean chip stocks fall, BTC doesn't necessarily follow; but the ongoing AI capital cycle continuously draws incremental funds away, leaving crypto without upward fuel.
$BTC is stuck tugging back and forth at the $80,000 psychological level, with the Fed holding steady almost openly. The real test is the leverage liquidation chain if $80,000 is breached. $ETH has broken below the 2350 uptrend line, funding rates have plunged 56% in 24 hours, whales have turned bearish, and EMA120 (around 2333) is the mid-term watershed that bulls must defend.
The earnings report confirms one thing — AI's capital attraction remains strong, and crypto's "relative weakness" is not a sentiment issue but a structural one.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $ETH 2300: Survive the FOMC first
[Capital side] October ETH ETF net outflow of $1.18 billion, a new record for the year; ETHA single-day redemption exceeded 75 million. ETH/BTC retreated from 0.0319 to 0.0291, down nearly 9% in 30 days. This looks more like institutions actively reducing high Beta rather than a simple oversell.
[Chip side] 43.7 million staked, accounting for over 35% of circulation; exchange holdings hit a new low at only 3.49%, with 170,000 withdrawn in a single day. But OG realized at 2300. Locked positions supporting the bottom and ETF drainage coexist and should not be confused.
[Referee side] Wednesday's FOMC is the focus: 90% probability of no change in October, 68.9% probability of a rate hike in December; U.S. Treasury yields near 5%, oil prices peak inflation. If Powell leans hawkish, ETH will take the hit first.
[Position and strategy] 2300 is an emotional barrier, not a valuation bottom. A break looks toward 2280, 2220-2250, with an extreme test of 2000; resistance remains at 2473/2546. Approach: do not add or hold above 2300; wait for the daily chart to stabilize above 2300 and for ETF net inflows for two consecutive days, missing one counts as a bet. Leave the story for the next round, first preserve this week's position. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 Fragile calm on the eve of the FOMC
Not raising rates itself is a card already played
The market has already fully priced in no rate hike in October. CME data shows a 90.6% probability of rates remaining unchanged in October; among 100 economists surveyed by Reuters, 94 expect no rate hike in October.
This means that the single event of "no rate hike" is unlikely to bring incremental positive impact. The crypto market's repeated tug-of-war around $80,000 has already reflected this expectation in advance. What could really trigger volatility is not whether rates are raised or not, but the wording of Powell's remarks at the press conference. If he characterizes the pause as a "hawkish pause," emphasizes inflation risks, and keeps the option of a December rate hike open, risk assets will come under immediate pressure! Only if the wording is clearly dovish could there be room for a short-term rebound. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 ⏳FOMC Countdown! Analysis of the game logic behind 3 on-chain assets
$HYPE 77.2 📊
Hyperliquid distributes trading fees proportionally to token holders; protocol dividends are real cash flow.
On-chain trading data looks strong this week, but the token price remains stagnant. The market is waiting for the quarterly dividends to be paid out, not speculating on expectations. At the 77.2 level, holders are waiting for dividends to arrive, while buyers at higher prices are watching for a return flow. Both bulls and bears are patiently waiting.
$ENA 0.214 🌾
The interest rate cut expectation here is actually a double-edged sword.
USDe relies on short-term US Treasury collateralized yield, with returns anchored to Treasury yields. The market currently bets on no change this time, but if the statement is hawkish, the market will reprice for a prolonged high-rate cycle, which would increase the appeal of yield-bearing stablecoins. It cannot be simply regarded as a beneficiary of rate cuts.
$WLD 0.478 🌐
World App users continue to grow, but the token price has not followed.
Worldcoin focuses on human identity verification in the AI era, with user scale rising for multiple consecutive quarters, but biometric privacy controversies persist and regulatory stance remains unclear. Its volatility is much greater than mainstream coins, making it unsuitable for heavy positions.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Google's core business shows short-term resilience, but the long-term structural conditions are loosening. Q3 revenue is very likely to be solid, but the market is more focused on how long the key conditions can hold.
Search ads: The cash cow is still running. Q2 search revenue increased by 17%, and AI currently mainly enhances monetization. However, AI search diverts users and reduces ad click motivation, and the antitrust ruling requiring the termination of exclusive default agreements is simultaneously eroding the moat on both the demand and distribution sides.
Cloud business: The strongest growth driver. Q2 revenue grew 82%, operating margin was 35.6%, and backlog reached $514 billion. But the cost is capital expenditures soaring to $195 billion–$205 billion for the full year, turning free cash flow negative.
Profit signals: Q3 revenue is expected to grow about 25%, but adjusted net profit is forecasted to decline by 7.6%. The market no longer only asks how fast growth is, but when the return on AI investment will be visible.
At the digital level, the core business can hold in the short term, but the monetization logic of search and the default distribution mechanism are being pulled in two directions.
What really matters in Q3 is the pace of capital expenditure and the marginal changes in the search business narrative—this will determine whether the core business is "temporarily under pressure" or "starting to loosen."
