#ETF continues to flow out, can BTC's rebound continue?
ETF is flowing out, but the price is bouncing up; this kind of divergence is the easiest to deceive.
From October 12 to 16, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a net outflow of about $229 million, and Ethereum's outflow was even more severe, reaching $320 million. On October 19, Bitcoin ETF had a single-day outflow of $139 million. Institutional buying is retreating, this is an ironclad fact, the money is genuinely withdrawing.
But BTC did bounce from around 80,000 to 83,000, and now it is fluctuating near 82,000. Funds are withdrawing, yet the price is rising—why? The two comments under the community post hit the point. This rebound is not driven by new money buying in, but by shorts covering and pushing the price up. It's a battle of existing funds; when shorts cover, the price naturally rebounds. Without incremental funds entering, the foundation of this rebound is very weak, and its sustainability cannot be guaranteed.
It's like water without a source; once drained, it's gone.
Now at the 83,000 level, which is a previously densely trapped zone, without real incremental buying with hard cash, it's hard to break through in one go. The 80,000 level below is an important psychological defense line. If ETFs continue to dump and break below 80,000, triggering long positions to deleverage, that will be the real bottom.
In terms of operation, the biggest taboo now is chasing highs. Jumping in just because it’s red can easily get you trapped halfway up the mountain. For those holding positions, reduce holdings near resistance levels during the rebound and pocket the profits. $BTC 宏观：逆风为主
• 美国9月CPI反弹至3.7%，降息空间被堵，美联储倾向“更高更久”，10年期美债收益率逼近5.2%。
• 美股高久期成长股承压，VIX单周大涨，资金从高估值资产撤出。
• 避险资金更偏向黄金，比特币当前表现为风险资产，而非避险资产。
比特币：筹码稳，边际买盘弱
• 约83%流通供应长期未动，交易所余额仍低于年初，核心持币者未系统性抛售。
• 但美国现货ETF上周净流出约6.79亿美元，现货需求转负，鲸鱼增持分化。
• 关键区间：8万美元为双底支撑，8.2万美元为阻力；跌破8万可能下探7.5万，站稳8.2万才可能测试8.5万—8.7万。
情景推演
1. 区间震荡（概率偏高）：7.5万—8.2万美元消耗，等待美联储信号。
2. 跟随风险资产修复（概率中等）：科技股财报向好+ETF转净流入，测试8.2万—8.7万。
3. 二次去杠杆（概率偏低）：通胀再超预期或ETF流出加速，跌破8万，下探7.5万甚至更低。
一句话：在美联储给出明确方向前，比特币短线涨跌本质是对宏观风险偏好的押注，而非加密周期独立行情。 $BTC $ETH $SOL $PEPE 给孙割抬轿子？The 1inch card is about to shut down; new users have long been unable to register, and existing users have been told to withdraw or spend their balances before December 18.
The money has actually never been in 1inch's hands—it’s held in wallets by the licensed electronic money institution Monavate. Account closure, KYC, and data are handled by Crypto Life, and even the card's shutdown date is decided by the issuer and service provider.
The cashback from card spending is funded by the project side, covering the full costs of issuing, compliance, and KYC. When the crypto market tightens, this card is the first to be cut.

$1INCH #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins The bulls have been struggling these past two days; funds are flowing in, but prices are grinding down. BTC has slid from 83,035 to 81,420, losing the 82,000 level; ETH dropped from 2,443 to 2,380, breaking below 2,400 as soon as it was tested; HYPE retreated from 80.34 to 78.23, failing to hold 80. In the last 24 hours, HYPE fell 2.21%, the worst performer, and over the week, ETH dropped 4.74%, the weakest.
The strangest thing is the capital flow. The US BTC ETF saw a net inflow of $527 million in a single day, the strongest since September; BlackRock's IBIT alone brought in $665 million, offsetting redemptions from Fidelity and Grayscale. Yet prices continue to drift down, indicating heavier profit-taking pressure above. Regulation is also tightening: the French National Assembly passed an amendment taxing stablecoin exchanges, self-custody wallet declarations and exit taxes are still on the table; Mastercard is imposing stablecoin risk screening on banks, checking on-chain transactions before settlement. Visa and Mesh have expanded payment channels to 175 million merchants, but compliance costs are piling up, making everyday usability more expensive.
So there's no rush to bottom-fish now. Waiting for two signals: whether ETF net inflows can continue, and whether BTC can reclaim and close above 83,000 and 82,000. Without these signals, don't get itchy-handed, especially don't bet on a rebound in assets like HYPE.
$BTC $ETH $HYPE HBAR is holding above $0.082, with a market cap of 3.6 billion but a daily volume of only 2.71 million, resulting in a turnover rate of less than 0.008%. This is not a trading market at all, but rather market makers entertaining themselves. The price has dropped less than 1% in 24 hours, with the volatility range compressed between 0.0819 and 0.0858, and very short upper and lower shadows—a typical low-volume sideways consolidation—where buyers and sellers have reached a tacit agreement, and no one wants to make the first move. Smart money signals show net short positions and net holdings at zero; institutions are neither long nor short, effectively absent, indicating a lack of institutional motivation at the current valuation range. Social sentiment is equally void, with zero mentions and zero bias; not even FUD is being generated. This kind of cold reception is scarier than negative news, meaning the project has completely fallen out of the narrative spotlight. Core judgment: HBAR has fallen into a liquidity black hole, with no incremental funds, no narrative catalysts, and no institutional backing. Unless there is a major ecological breakthrough, it is highly likely to continue grinding time for space around the 0.08 level. 最近感觉越发强烈
这个月大饼将很快跌到7.5万
美联储是进入静默期，意在不让官员发言引导市场动向，只有鸡蛋臭才需要捂着，现在情况原油维持高位，美债收益也居高不下抽走全球流动性，同时上个月的CPI-PPI超预期已经说明通胀已经到很严重的地步，下周二的货币会议加息也必须拿上桌说话的时候了！
同时在盘面结构来看，大饼8万关口有大量买盘承接，每次触及这里反弹个3-4000点，但现在反弹高点逐步降低，反复磨8万这个大支撑，只要跌破这里那么下方就是流动性真空区，行情将加速去往7.5万$BTC $ETH 散户的德行永远不变：跌的时候，群里刷屏"完了完了、牛市结束了、还要腰斩"，真敢下手的没几个；可一旦连涨几天、破个关键位，朋友圈微博立刻沸腾，目标价从8万一路喊到10万、12万，就怕错过。跌也怕，涨也急。但把线拉长看：比特币三季度涨了四成多，ETF此前大笔流入，长期供需没变差，短期不过是美联储会议和通胀数据在捣乱。技术面：BTC在82000-83500震荡，站稳了50日均线80600上方，下方支撑80000-81000，上方先看85000。ETH在2400上下盘整，200日均线2345守住了，短期阻力2480-2500——结构没坏，就是动能一般，得有效突破才开得了大方向。真正的机会，从来都藏在没人敢碰的时候。等全场热闹起来再追，价格早贵了。$SUI
Sui's object-based model and the Move language let many transactions run in parallel, which suits apps with heavy simultaneous activity. That's the technical case. The practical one is harder: developers need reasons to build here instead of on chains with larger communities. Token unlock schedules also deserve attention, since supply entering circulation can weigh on sentiment.Altcoin ETFs Enter a "Moment of Divergence": Numbered Ones Feast, Unnumbered Ones Watch
At this time last year, the market was still betting on "which altcoin ETF will get approved." Now the answer is on the table—and it's harsher than expected.
The first batch has already launched, forming clear tiers:
SOL fired the first shot (Bitwise launched in October), XRP's REX-Osprey attracted $1.37 billion AUM right at launch, DOGE became the first-ever memecoin ETF in history, LTC and HBAR quietly launched the same week. LINK and AVAX are even more competitive—each has two issuers vying for market share, with AVAX also offering staking rewards.
The script for the second batch is already written:
ADA is the "cleanest" story left: CME futures launch in February, a six-month clock runs to August, and the SEC's final deadline is October 23—this week. Grayscale, VanEck, Bitwise, and Canary are all in line.
Bitwise made a sweeping filing on December 30 last year for 11 assets including AAVE, SUI, TAO, NEAR, aiming for a March 16 effective date—the largest single batch filing in history.
Regulators are also stepping on the gas: the SEC's general listing standards have shortened review cycles from a maximum of 240 days to about 75 days.
But please note, the point I want to make is not "bullishness," but divergence.
ETF funds will not be evenly distributed across the market; they will only flow to assets covered by funds—coins backed by ETFs see narrower bid-ask spreads and deeper liquidity; coins with similar technology but no fund support get nothing.
After XRP and LTC ETFs get approved in early 2026, the so-called "altcoin season" will have shifted from retail frenzy to an institutional asset rebalancing event. Seyfat's warning is more straightforward: after hundreds of new ETFs, a major reshuffle is likely at year-end, leaving only the most liquid survivors.
The pricing logic for altcoins is shifting from "narrative" to "whether there is an institutional channel."#奈飞财报在即，广告业务成新看点
Netflix will release its Q3 earnings after the market closes tonight, with the market focusing on advertising as a new growth driver. The company guides revenue of $12.86 billion and an operating margin of 33.2%, showing significant improvement compared to the same period last year, with cost reductions and subscriber price increases continuing to pay off. Subscription growth is gradually slowing, and low-priced ad-supported plans are key to incremental growth. Whether advertising revenue and ad ARPU can be maintained will determine the quality of this earnings report. Risks include high profits relying on price hikes and cost control, as well as watching for pressure on new subscriptions and user retention.

SpaceX 今晚盘后出 Q3 财报，我是买的 Yes，认为营收大概率能超预期。
市场现在预期营收在 127 到 129 亿美元之间，比上季度涨了约 65%，调整后每股收益大概 0.15 美元 要是真能做到，这就是上市以来第一个盈利季度
我看好的第一个理由是 Q2 的表现。Q2 营收 78.1 亿，市场只预期 69.3 亿；每股亏损 0.09 美元，市场预期的是亏 0.26 美元。
第二个理由是 AI 算力业务。这块 Q2 才 25.6 亿，Q3 预期要到 64 亿左右。听着跳得很猛，但Q2 末手里的在手订单就有 475 亿美元，财报前又签了第四笔算力托管合同，年化约 130 亿美元
不过营收超预期，股价不一定涨。Q2 就是这样，营收超预期，盘后股价一度跌了 8% 以上，主要是嫌资本开支太大。这次市场预期资本开支约 196 亿美元，自由现金流大约是负 116 亿。所以我押的是营收超预期，不是押股价涨

有啥影响？
第一，稳定币的“破圈”彻底打通了。以前咱们用U，最多是币圈内部转账，或者去一些专门支持加密货币的小店消费，门槛高得很。现在Visa直接铺到1.75亿商户，等于Web2的毛细血管接上了Web3的心脏。你在街头买杯咖啡、吃个汉堡，直接花U就行。这就给了稳定币真正落地的应用场景，不再是纯粹的炒作工具。
第二，合规稳定币（比如USDC）要吃大肉。Visa、万事达这些巨头挑合作伙伴，最看重的就是合规和底层资产透明度。USDC背靠贝莱德和Circle，底子最干净。这波支付巨头的接入，会狠狠推一把USDC的流通量。你手里的U要是合规性差点，以后可能在一些巨头生态里就用不了。
说下我的看法。长线看，这是加密资产走向主流的标志性事件，绝对的大利好。但咱们做交易的得清醒点，这种消息对短期K线没啥刺激作用，今天USDC和USDT价格稳如老狗。因为这是基建，不是拉盘催化剂。真正决定大饼短期方向的，还是宏观数据。
你怎么看呢？$BTC $ETH $BTC On-Chain Breaking News!
At 2:23 AM Beijing time on October 19,
a Bitcoin old wallet from 2013 suddenly moved,
transferring all 411.45 bitcoins in one transaction to a new address, now worth $34 million.
The most striking thing about this transfer is not the amount,
but a chilling detail that makes netizens shudder.
This wallet hadn’t moved once in 13 years,
but careful netizens noticed that during these 13 years,
the wallet kept receiving tiny fractions of coins worth a few cents, dozens of times in total,
several of which have been flagged as scam addresses.
This is a scam targeting whales called "address pollution."
Scammers create a fake address that looks almost identical to yours,
send you a few cents first, so the fake address gets mixed into your transaction history.
Later, when you transfer coins and copy from the history for convenience, a slip of the hand copying the wrong address
sends your coins straight into the scammer’s pocket, unrecoverable.
The old whale didn’t fall for it but didn’t bet on never slipping up either,
so moved all coins into a clean new address and abandoned the old one.
The moving fee was less than 2 RMB,
so the scammers waited in vain for over a decade.
Coincidentally, the day before, two other old wallets that had been dormant for twelve or thirteen years also moved,
167 and 248 coins respectively, totaling 416.7 coins, also transferred in one transaction to a new address.
Three old wallets in two days, 411.45 matches 416.69, all hovering around 410 coins.On paper it's in the red, but my logic hasn't changed, and there are three reasons👇 1️⃣ Not enough room. The current price is still over three points away from 4,300. Gold only shows this kind of one-sided trend in a week during major events, such as sudden geopolitical conflicts or unexpected hawkish/dovish moves by central banks. There are no such big events on this week's calendar. 2️⃣ High levels cause hesitation. Gold prices have been fluctuating at high levels for several weeks, and every time it surges, profit-taking hits. Around 4,200 is the first barrier, 4,300 is a psychological round number barrier; breaking both in one week is unlikely. 3️⃣ The odds are calculable. No sell at 92¢ means the market only gives about a 10% chance of "touching" it, and I think the real probability is even lower. This position is originally low-volatility and steady profit, not a bet for doubling. The current -3.9% is just market sentiment wobbling, not the result. As long as the highest price this week doesn't reach 4,300, each contract will settle at 1 XP at expiration, recovering about 540 of the 500 XP invested, earning around 8%. I've also thought through the biggest risk: if a major risk-off event happens midweek and gold surges sharply, this position will hurt. So I only used part of my XP, not fully invested. Do you think gold will reach 4,300 this week? Google is setting rules for crypto ads in the UAE, effective tomorrow (October 21).
Google Ads policy update: For crypto exchange and software wallet ads targeting UAE users, advertisers must hold a license from one of four regulators: Capital Market Authority (CMA), Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), or Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and also pass Google's ad qualification certification.
On the surface, this looks like an "expansion": previously only VARA and FSRA were recognized, now CMA and DFSA are included.
But the actual threshold is raised: license + Google certification + compliance with local laws are all mandatory; CFD licenses under the same brand do not automatically cover crypto ads, each product line must be separately approved.
I think this is a signal, not noise: the UAE is a gateway for Middle Eastern crypto funds, and Google aligning ad thresholds with local virtual asset laws means acting as a gatekeeper for regulatory "traffic entry."
In the long run, mainstream assets like $BTC might actually benefit: clearer regulation means institutional funds enter with fewer concerns.
What do you think: Is Google's move "legalizing" crypto ads, or blocking the path for small and medium projects?

#CryptoAds #UAE NEAR looks a bit rough today, one of the biggest losers among major coins 📉
Down about 7% in 24 hours, now at 4.71. The daily chart has been dropping from the high of 6.06 on the 12th, with each rebound lower than the last: yesterday 5.135, today only up to 4.99. This afternoon it broke through the support level around 4.74–4.76.
Funding rate is slightly negative, shorts aren’t too crowded, but it also means few dare to take the other side.
Key levels I’m watching:
Above: 4.78–4.81, it hovered around here from noon to afternoon today, now broken, likely turning into resistance on a pullback
Higher: 4.87–4.89, the platform from last night to this morning
Below: 4.62–4.63 is yesterday’s low, further down 4.53 is the low on the 15th
My plan:
📌 Bias: bearish, waiting for a pullback
📌 Entry: 4.78–4.81
📌 Stop loss: 4.89, if it closes back above last night’s platform, admit the plan is wrong
📌 Target: take half off at 4.63, the rest at 4.53
If it drops straight to around 4.62 without a pullback, I won’t chase shorts; chasing there has a poor risk-reward ratio. If the 4H candle closes above 4.89, this plan is void.

Just my personal view, not investment advice, DYORThe South Korean market closed down nearly 4 points today, ending at 5552.
Looking back a month, this index has dropped from 7080 to now, losing more than 20%. Hynix is even more dramatic, down 35% from its peak.
Here's how the money moved today: foreign investors sold over 400 million USD, institutions sold over 300 million, and retail investors stubbornly bought over 600 million, but in the end, it still couldn't hold.
Last night in the US stock market, chip stocks actually rebounded by more than a point, but Asia still fell today without hesitation. So now the cut is no longer about how the US stock market performed last night, but someone is recalculating how much the AI investment is really worth. Today, a data center company in Korea went public and broke its IPO price, which is more telling than any slogans. There are also rumors that Hynix's subsidiary plans to list separately in the US, but this is unconfirmed, so don't take it seriously.
My macro articles' readership has dropped sharply these past two days; whenever I write about local dogs, people come in. Fine, watch whatever you want.
As for Bitcoin, from September 23 to today, others have dropped more than 20%, but it only fell 5 points, hovering between 81,000 and 83,000 in the past ten days, today at 81,700. When chips evaporated a trillion last week, I said in the square that Bitcoin wouldn't follow this wave, and that still holds true today.
80,000 is a threshold. If it really falls below that, my theory is invalid, and I'll admit it honestly. If it holds, then it's still a long position. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
#Semiconductor sector concentrated sell-off, South Korea KOSPI down over 6% Let me talk a bit about yesterday's gold short position; it went so smoothly, basically played out exactly as planned.
Previously, quite a few people saw some stirrings in the geopolitical area and got all hyped up, shouting that gold was about to take off, as if they wanted to buy out the floor price. I said clearly at the time, don't get carried away, this move is just a technical rebound, not a trend reversal. The interest rate constraint is still in place, and neither the dollar nor US Treasury yields are to be underestimated, so where does gold get the confidence to keep surging upward?
And what happened? After the surge, it softened and dropped all the way down. Our short positions were steadily profitable. Isn't this much better than chasing highs and selling lows?
This morning it bounced a bit, and some people started to panic, asking if they were going to miss out. I advise you to stay calm. This small rebound at this level is, frankly, just another opportunity for the bears. Look at the daily chart, each high is lower than the last, structurally still weak, with no sign of reversal.
So the strategy is simple: wait for it to creep up again, around 4160 to 4180, then continue to short, with the first target near 4115. Don't fear the rise; fear that you won't dare to short. $XAUFrom the perspective of holding period, distinguish between short-term event-driven and long-term fundamental market trends.
Price increases driven by positive events have a short duration; markets driven by continuous fundamental improvements can withstand multiple pullbacks.
For $BTC, look at the long-term cycle position; for $ETH, differentiate the type of market driver. Layered screening: rallies triggered by news events are suitable for short-term trading, not for long-term holding.

Key focus on the relative strength of BTC and ETH:
With continuous fundamental improvement combined with an upward market cycle, the market can be held long-term; purely news-driven moves without significant new capital inflow into BTC are only suitable for short-term quick in-and-out trading. ZRO unlocked 23.63 million tokens today, while the cumulative buyback is only 2.54 million tokens. I’m not catching this flying knife.
DefiLlama shows that LayerZero unlocked about 23.63 million tokens at 13:33 today, worth about 44 million USD, accounting for about 5.9% of circulation.
All of these went to core contributors and strategic partners, with 8 more monthly unlocks to come.
The official buyback is funded by Stargate revenue, totaling about 2.54 million tokens.
On the OKX daily chart, ZRO dropped from the October 11 high of 2.48 back to about 1.83.
My view: the buyback is real, but the monthly unlock volume is roughly 9 times the cumulative buyback, so it can’t hold.
Those who grabbed airdrops early have long left; now the monthly sellers are insiders.
Only when it firmly stands above 2.10 can it be considered a breakout.
Invalidation: if it falls below the previous low of 1.7263, don’t bottom-fish.
Do you think the buyback can support ZRO, or is the monthly unlocking weighing it down?

#OctoberFOMCapproaching What variables remain with the Fed pausing rate hikes? Eight-day losing streak ends! Philadelphia Semiconductor rebounds 1.6% on Monday—reversal or dead cat bounce?
After eight consecutive days of decline, the longest losing streak since 2008, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) closed up on Monday: +1.61%, at 11,316.34 points. The cumulative drop over eight days was 15.7%, wiping out nearly 2 trillion in market value at one point. Last Friday, the RSI hit 21.5—the lowest since the tariff panic in April 2025. Oversold to the extreme, a rebound was due.
Leading the gains were memory stocks: SK Hynix ADR +4.67%, Micron +2.97%; Intel +3% (JPMorgan just upgraded it from underweight to neutral); SOXL up 5.32% in a single day, SOXX closed up 1.73% at 501.93—bottom-fishing capital is really stepping in. Demand side isn’t actually bad: Wedbush says no credit risk seen in AI data center supply chain, storage prices are still rising, the problem lies in financing sentiment.
But don’t rush to call it a reversal yet. The key 11,500 level hasn’t been reclaimed: intraday Monday touched 11,550 but gave back gains, closing at 11,316. The first day of rebound is just a watch-and-see.
Downside is clear too: if Monday’s 1.6% gain is fully given back and it returns to around 11,100, that’s a dead cat bounce and the bottom test continues.
Are you betting on a reversal or a dead cat bounce? Tesla’s earnings after market close on 10-21 will reveal the answer.
$SOXL $AKE funding is still increasing, is something big coming??
Ake started signaling trades in mid-month, and the current trend looks like it’s gearing up for the expected October market. After an initial surge and pullback, it has been consolidating sideways for a long time, with most of the chips already digested.
Now, the full-cycle contracts maintain net inflows, indicating that leveraged longs are actively positioning. Spot funds are flowing back, and mid-to-long-term buyers are gradually catching up, so it’s not just contracts playing alone.
This kind of meme coin’s rise relies on community narratives without solid fundamental support, so selling pressure comes quickly as well.
My personal suggestion is to focus on short-term longs. #ETF continues outflows, can BTC’s rebound sustain? Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data shows that in the five trading days ending last Thursday, hedge funds' net selling of the technology sector as a proportion of holdings hit the highest record since statistics began in 2016. After reducing positions, tech stocks still account for 23.5% of their global prime brokerage book net allocation. The institutional funds in this sample are reducing exposure, which is short-term bearish for tech stocks' capital flow, but the allocation remains high; whether the retreat continues is more critical. Next, watch if net selling narrows and whether the remaining allocation continues to decline. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ [680,000 AI payments have already been recorded on-chain, is the Agent economy finally starting to generate revenue?]
As of October 20, X-Agent has cumulatively recorded 1.269 million on-chain transactions, 39,649 Agentic Wallets, and 680,300 x402 payments. The numbers are growing rapidly, but what I value most is how much these Agents have actually spent and what services they have purchased.
This sector is indeed beginning to have real data support. CoinDesk reported on October 14, citing Chainalysis data, that x402 has processed over 138 million crypto payments, but more than 87% of individual transactions are under $0.1. The fact that micropayments are working shows there is a real application space for machines to automatically purchase data, computing power, and model services; however, a large number of transactions does not necessarily mean equally large commercial revenue.
The direction of Agent automatic payments definitely has long-term value, but for now, this data alone is not enough to conclude the ecological value of X-Agent. The number of wallets does not equal active users, the number of payments does not equal unique customers, and certainly not profits. Next, we need to look at total payment amounts, repeat payment rates, and how many transactions come from genuine external demand. If these indicators continue to grow, the Agent Economy can truly be said to have crossed the threshold from demonstration to commercialization. $BTC , $ETH Hello brothers and sisters, I am Coin Brother!
Damn, the current market situation is very interesting. Leverage heat is rising rapidly, but spot funds are not following at all.
After the last round of short liquidation ended, incremental funds did not shift to spot allocation; instead, they flowed back into the contract trading sector.
The data is very straightforward: BTC's net inflow into contracts in the past 24 hours reached 859 million USD, while the spot side only had 143 million USD. In the last hour, contracts continued to see an additional inflow of 42.63 million, whereas spot actually had a net outflow of 2.49 million.
It's easy to fall into a cognitive trap here. Many people directly conclude that bulls have taken control of the market, but this judgment is not accurate. Contract fund inflows only indicate an increase in participants in the long-short game and a warming of leveraged betting sentiment. Without spot buying power to support, the rebound lacks a solid foundation and is hard to sustain.
This divergence is even more pronounced with ETH. In a single hour, contract inflow was 58.53 million, while spot inflow was only 3.4 million—a huge gap. Market makers' core reference indicator is not the loudness of bullish market voices but the real buying strength on the spot order book. Once the price pushes up to resistance levels but spot lacks real buying support, the resistance will take effect, and the price is likely to fall back after a rally.

BTC rebounded from around 80,000 USD, briefly reaching 83,000 USD on October 19, then retreating to around 82,000 USD. However, the capital side remains under pressure: from October 12 to 16, BTC spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about 229 million USD, while ETH had a net outflow of about 320 million USD during the same period; on October 19, BTC ETFs again had a net outflow of about 139 million USD, with no sustained net inflow recovery yet.
Logical interpretation: This rebound appears more like a short-term correction after overselling and leverage clearing, rather than driven by incremental funds. Price recovery is faster than capital recovery, so the sustainability of the rebound is questionable. ETH outflows exceed BTC, indicating weaker support for non-BTC mainstream assets; ETH/BTC may remain weak in the short term.
Trading strategy: 83,000-84,000 USD is short-term resistance, 80,000 USD is key support. If the rebound to above 83,000 USD occurs with low volume and ETFs continue to outflow, prioritize reducing positions or lightly shorting, with a stop loss above 84,000 USD; if the price tests 80,000 USD without breaking and ETF outflows narrow, stabilization can be observed, but heavy bottom-fishing is not advisable. When ETH is weaker than BTC, consider shorting ETH/BTC. Core principle: before capital returns, the rebound is a correction, not a reversal. Control position size and set stop losses properly.Wall Street is starting to bring the US dollar onto Ethereum, but ETH's price may not immediately benefit!
On October 19, JPMorgan Chase announced that its US dollar deposit token, JPM Coin, has launched on the Ethereum mainnet and is now available to eligible institutional clients.
Note, it is not an ordinary USDT, nor a freely circulating stablecoin available to everyone, but an institutional-grade token representing JPMorgan Chase's US dollar deposits.
What truly deserves attention is the direction behind this.
In the past, when traditional banks talked about blockchain, it was often experiments within their own closed systems; now, JPMorgan Chase is extending institutional fund settlement business onto a public blockchain.
This means Ethereum's competitiveness is not just about whether ETH's price rises, but whether it can become the infrastructure for institutions to transfer funds and settle assets.
Of course, banks adopting Ethereum does not mean banks are buying ETH, nor does it mean ETH's price will immediately go up. Technology adoption, on-chain business growth, and token price are three different things.
But I believe that to judge a public chain's long-term value, you can't just focus on the candlestick chart. Short-term capital can withdraw; what really matters is: when traditional finance starts going on-chain, who can handle real business?
This may be more worthy of long-term attention than how many times leverage some whale has opened again. #SpaceX's first full quarterly report after going public will be revealed First, to pour some cold water: when I see a 10x long position, I don't take large orders as evidence of bullishness. Core Trader 02 (0x9c062c…00560) newly opened or added to a long position in $NBIS, holding 302.13 tokens with a nominal value of about $50,000. My judgment: this position expresses a direction, but it's not enough to prove that this direction is worth betting on.
I'm stuck on two points. First, leverage compresses the margin for error: roughly calculating by nominal value and 10x leverage, the corresponding margin is about $5,000; if the price moves 1% against the position, the loss is about 10% of this margin, and the actual impact is also affected by margin mode and other factors. Second, monitoring only shows this side of the position, without seeing the full assets and hedges. Interpreting a one-sided long position directly as a strong bullish signal might be a misread from the start. If the market moves against it, the most painful situation is a heavy position with no exit plan for the longs.
Of course, the other party might have caught the right direction, and I might have poured cold water too early. If the price continues to strengthen afterward and recovers after a pullback, I will reduce my bearish bias; but I will judge the correctness of the direction and the appropriateness of 10x leverage separately. Regarding this long position, do you stand long or short? Please explain your reasons: do you value the directional signal more, or the margin pressure brought by leverage more?Does everyone think Tesla's Q3 earnings report will exceed expectations? Am I the only one who thinks it might barely meet the mark?
The current market expectation for EPS is $0.43–0.45, with revenue expected at $27.8–28.1 billion.
I guess people expect it to beat because the vehicle delivery data released at the beginning of the month was 486,500 units, exceeding the market expectation of about 460,000. But I think part of that is inventory clearance, not increased demand. #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点
Why I think the earnings report won't beat expectations:
1. Zacks earnings surprise indicator ESP is about -11%, and a negative value usually means it won't beat expectations.
2. Analysts cut their expectations by 4%–12% last month, indicating that everyone thinks the fundamentals are weakening.
3. Energy storage deployment was 13.7 GWh, below the expected 15 GWh; gross margin dropped from 26.7% in 2022 to 16.3%, and Q2 already missed expectations once.Tuesday, 2026.10.20
US stocks opened high and closed low yesterday. Monday's futures really acted as a reverse indicator, which can now be used as an important reference. Although tech stocks collectively rebounded yesterday, they plunged at the close. Assets like Bitcoin and gold followed suit. US stocks are currently performing very poorly, with clear capital flight from the highs. The power of the cycle remains strong.
On October 19, Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of 526 million, while Ethereum ETFs had a net outflow of 103 million. This Bitcoin inflow feels like a bottom-fishing army entering the market.
SpaceX will release its Q3 financial and operational results after the market closes on October 20. It is also strongly supported by Trump, which should be somewhat related. Recently, Musk has been very active, so it’s worth paying more attention to assets related to him.
Market Analysis
The real trading flow after the US market opened dragged down Bitcoin, which had been rebounding well. Despite the large ETF inflows yesterday, they couldn’t stop the plunge, indicating this is indeed a right shoulder market pattern, and it may continue until the end of this week. After next week’s Federal Reserve decision, a new market phase may begin. From a technical perspective, the next phase should break 80,000, which depends on the Fed’s decision.
As mentioned above, altcoins still have significant leveraged positions, with risks and opportunities coexisting. Those who don’t want to risk severe losses should avoid altcoins.
Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index: 49 (Neutral) Yesterday was probably my best chance to cut my losses, but greed kept me holding on. Now I’m watching $SKHYNIX again, wondering if another leg down is coming this week. 📉 The recent rebound gave me hope, but the broader sell-off in AI and semiconductor stocks is still a concern. With earnings approaching on October 28, volatility could stay high. One green day doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom is in. 😮💨 Sometimes the hardest part of trading isn’t knowing when to buy — it’s accepting when Yesterday's rebound was actually quite mediocre: $BTC just touched 83000 and then pulled back, while other coins couldn't even reclaim the 20-day moving average. In this structure, chasing highs has very low cost-effectiveness. The real discussion isn't "whether the rebound can continue," but "what signals count as a reversal." Let's first look at the most critical hurdle. The average cost for $BTC spot ETF holders is about $84358, meaning that once the rebound approaches this range, it will face selling pressure from those looking to break even. The price surged to 83000 then fell back essentially because it was pushed down below this cost zone. So 85000 isn't just a random line; it's the decisive battleground between bulls and bears—only if it holds steady can we talk about a trend reversal; if it doesn't, all rebounds are just corrections. Next, look at $ETH. It is the weakest among the mainstream coins this round, down 4.3% over 7 days, currently over a hundred dollars below the 20-day moving average of 2532, with a daily RSI of only 29, indicating an extremely oversold condition. Weakness itself isn't a buying reason, but oversold conditions combined with moving average resistance mean that once it reclaims the 20-day moving average, the significance is not just catching up but possibly a real trend reversal. This is the most flexible of the three conditions. The third condition comes from the capital side: ETF net inflows must turn positive again. Price is the result; capital is the cause. Without incremental capital inflow, a rebound is essentially just a technical repair under a zero-sum game. The three conditions—$BTC holding above 85000, $ETH reclaiming the 20-day moving average, ETF capital[Google Opens the Door for Crypto Ads in the UAE, But Not Everyone Can Enter]
Starting October 21, Google $GOOGL will adjust its crypto advertising rules in the UAE: crypto exchanges and software wallets can advertise as long as they obtain licenses from designated regulatory authorities and pass Google Ads certification. Recognized authorities include VARA, DFSA, FSRA, and CMA.
The key point is that customer acquisition channels are now tied to compliance licenses. For exchanges wanting to enter the UAE market, having a license is not enough; they must also pass Google's approval. Smaller platforms, unlicensed operators, and businesses relying on ad traffic may face higher competition barriers. Google has not fully opened crypto ads; ICOs and some DeFi trading services remain restricted.
This is a channel benefit for compliant platforms, not a major boon for the entire crypto market. Ads can bring exposure but do not guarantee new users, trading volume, or revenue realization. There is currently no evidence that this policy will directly drive up $BTC or other tokens. The next step is to see how many exchanges actually get certified and whether advertising converts into real business; otherwise, no matter how good the license looks, it may just be an expensive entry ticket.[Even a 400x subscription couldn't save it, Elice plunged 33% on its KOSDAQ debut: Is the AI infrastructure story losing appeal?]
South Korean AI infrastructure company Elice debuted on KOSDAQ on October 20, with its stock price hitting a low of 61,000 KRW intraday, down about 32.6% from the issue price of 90,500 KRW. This IPO raised approximately 201.1 billion KRW, with retail subscription oversubscribed by more than 400 times and institutional subscription close to 389 times. The contrast between the frenzied subscription and the collective foot voting after listing is striking.
In fact, Elice's fundamentals are not disastrous: revenue in the first half of this year was 34.4 billion KRW, operating profit 10.3 billion KRW, already surpassing last year's full-year operating profit. However, investors are not just buying growth; they are also paying for future data center expansion, financing costs, and return cycles. During the same period, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index fell about 3.7%, with Samsung $SAMSUNG and SK Hynix $SKHY also under pressure, and sentiment in the AI infrastructure sector clearly cooling.
I tend to view this plunge as a signal of simultaneous cooling in valuation and sentiment, and it should not be taken as evidence that AI demand has peaked. What really matters is whether Elice can convert revenue growth into sustained cash flow and whether global data center investments can deliver returns. If performance continues to grow but the stock price remains weak, it may indicate that the market's concern is not just overvaluation but the industry's overall payback speed.$APR is expected to be weak over the next three days. On October 23, tokens equivalent to 47% of the circulating supply will be released, making this week the most pressure-intensive window. Within 24 hours, the price rose from 0.02357 to 0.03141, then fell back to 0.02886. The failure to hold the high indicates that someone is selling on the rebound. Long positions worth $320,000 were liquidated, more than three times the short positions, showing that leveraged buyers have already been washed out once. Contract open interest is about $10 million, thin compared to trading volume, so the price is mainly determined by the spot market, and spot holders have more incentive to reduce positions before the unlock. We backtested events where the unlock volume exceeded 10% of circulation; in the 7 days before unlock, performance lagged the broader market, with about three-quarters of samples closing negative. The descending trendline and bearish moving averages on the chart align with this direction, and the RSI at 35 remains in the weak zone. Over the next three days, I lean toward a pullback near 0.02357. The condition to turn bullish is a volume-backed close above 0.03141 and holding that level for a trading day. Backtesting after the unlock day shows no stable direction; this judgment only applies until the 23rd.First, a bit of cold water: seeing a long position opened does not equal seeing an opportunity. Core Trader 02 (0x9c062c…00560) newly opened or added a long position on $SOXL with 10x leverage, nominal position about $50,000. I am bearish on the margin for error in this trade—not asserting the price will definitely drop, so don’t get excited too quickly.
I’m stuck on two points: First, roughly calculating with 10x leverage, the initial margin for this position is about $5,000; if the price moves 1% against it, the loss is roughly 10% of the initial margin, not including fees; the actual liquidation point depends on the margin mode and additional funding, so you can’t directly take this ratio as the liquidation line. Second, monitoring only tells me he bought, it doesn’t tell me if this is a standalone bullish bet or part of a hedged combination. Mistaking one leg of someone else’s strategy for the whole strategy is the easiest way to misread their intent. If the price moves against you, the worst is to leverage in that direction without setting risk boundaries.
I also admit, he might be right. If the price continues to stay above this reference price of about $95.2691, and after a pullback can strengthen again, I will reduce my bearish bias rather than stubbornly holding for face. These are my observation conditions, not a market that has already happened. For this 10x long position, are you bullish or bearish? Please clearly state your reasons: do you value directional judgment more, or the margin for error under leverage?After a technical rebound on Monday, Asian stocks returned to a decline on Tuesday, as key U.S. earnings reports are due Wednesday, prompting tech stocks to remain relatively cautious.
Macroeconomic pressures persist, with Brent crude prices holding near $110, causing market confidence in AI trading to remain fragile. Meanwhile, SoftBank's credit risk has risen to its highest level in four years, further fueling market concerns.
During the Q3 U.S. earnings season, the market wants to see whether companies can prove that AI can generate profits to cover the heavy capital expenditures. South Korea's Elice Group is the first to face this test; due to macro pressures and market skepticism, the Korean stock market saw a sharp drop during the opening.
The key earnings reports on Wednesday are META and TSLA, both needing to provide satisfactory answers to the market:
META: Can revenue growth cover AI capital expenditures?
TSLA: Corporate profits still cannot support the AI and autonomous taxi narrative.
If these answers fail to meet market expectations, valuations of U.S. tech stocks will need adjustment; even meeting expectations will be suppressed by macro pressures. Only an earnings report that exceeds expectations can counter the current macro pressures! The focus now is on tonight's U.S. market performance! #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 After $BAT's price was pushed up by the market maker, no one took over the position, so the tokens couldn't be sold.S&P 500 Q2 2026 profits grew 47.4% YoY with Energy (135.3%), Communication Services (109.8%), and Consumer Discretionary (90.7%) leading the way. The chart shows Consumer Discretionary surged 91% in Q2. However, it is expected to be only 2% in Q3. The reason is that Amazon's GAAP EPS in Q2 included $53.4 billion in pre-tax non-operating income, mainly from investments in Anthropic. Alphabet recorded similar valuation gains. Therefore, if calculated without Alphabet and Amazon, the growthOil prices have returned to around $110 again, but what really makes me frown is not the oil price itself. Guess what the derivatives market is betting on now? On the surface, Middle East supply concerns have pushed crude back to $110.70, and the slight easing of U.S. restrictions on Russian energy hasn't calmed the sentiment. The combination of high oil prices, inflation, and interest rate pressure continues to weigh on risk assets. But strangely, last week's outflows from spot ETFs have actually narrowed—about $228 million for BTC, about $320 million for ETH, and about $26 million for SOL. Selling pressure is slowing down, but institutions have not returned. This is what I find most awkward: prices are hovering near key levels, but funds have no clear direction. From the perspective of capital preference, it's not about who is buying now, but that no one dares to make the first move. BTC is stuck at 80,000, ETH holds at 2,400, SOL watches 100—these three levels are like three thresholds. Without a breakout with volume, any rebound can only be considered a recovery, not a reversal. The derivatives side is even more subtle—if the funding rate is still positive and positions have not been clearly cleared, the so-called "slowdown in selling pressure" may just be shorts temporarily stepping back, not longs returning. Once oil prices push higher again, the first to be squeezed will be those highly leveraged short-term longs. A bullish path also exists: if oil prices peak and fall back, inflation expectations ease, ETF outflows continue to narrow or even turn positive, BTC breaks above 80,000 with volume, ETH follows 2,400, then altcoins have a chance to breathe. But this path requires volume confirmation, 【$527 million inflow in a single day, is $BTC starting a counterattack?】
The US BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of $526.7 million on Monday, hitting a new high since September 22. It looks like institutions are coming back in force, but breaking it down, BlackRock's IBIT alone absorbed $665.2 million, while Fidelity and Grayscale saw outflows of $83.6 million and $54.9 million respectively. IBIT is the only one with a net inflow in the entire market, so the money is not evenly distributed.
Previously, the ETF had a cumulative net outflow of about $617 million in October, and one day has reduced the gap to about $90.6 million. But this can only be seen as a recovery, not a complete bullish reversal yet.
On Monday, BTC ETFs attracted significant capital, but $ETH spot ETFs had a net outflow of $103.3 million, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of losses. Funds are temporarily more willing to bet on BTC, which does not mean the entire crypto market is strengthening simultaneously.
This is a buying signal worth noting, but a single day's inflow is not enough to confirm a trend reversal. The key things to watch next are: whether BTC ETFs can maintain continuous net inflows and whether prices can strengthen in sync. If funds keep flowing in and prices hold steady, this rally will look more like a genuine handoff; if it only lasts one day, it might just be a breather after a deep decline. Visa and Mesh are testing a practical distribution thesis: stablecoin spending may advance fastest when merchants need not adopt new rails. Routing and conversion behind existing Visa systems remove a visible friction point, but they do not establish recurring consumer demand. Coverage creates optionality; payment volume still has to be earned.
#VisaMeshStablecoinPay I recently discovered a very interesting US stock trading strategy: buy the S&P 500 before the midterm elections and sell it in April of the following year. Over the past 70+ years, backtesting shows a 100% profit rate! Right now is the critical moment, so I want to share it with everyone. Recently, I have been studying the US midterm elections and looked through the S&P 500's performance over the past several decades, finding a pretty interesting pattern. When we trade US stocks, we usually study the Federal Reserve, CPI, non-farm payrolls, and corporate earnings, constantly watching various data. But actually, the US midterm elections held every four years themselves present a trading window worth paying attention to. The strategy is simple: buy the S&P 500 in October of the midterm election year, hold until April of the next year, or continue holding until October of the next year. How impressive is the historical data? From 1950 to 2022, the US has experienced 19 midterm elections. If you buy the S&P 500 in October of the election year, based on historical average monthly prices: ① Holding until April of the next year yields an average return of +14.6%, with all 19 instances profitable. ② Holding until October of the next year yields an average return of +18.2%, also with all 19 instances profitable. ③ If you buy on the day of the midterm election and hold for 12 months, the average increase is about 15.1%, again with all 19 instances showing gains. In other words, over the past 70+ years, following this historical statistical approach and participating in this trading window every four years has produced very good results. Of course, it should be noted here that the first two sets of data use average monthly prices for backtesting, actuallyU.S. stocks in storage, optical communication, and cloud services fell broadly in pre-market trading; SK Hynix ADR down 4%+, SanDisk and Micron followed the decline.
Tonight SpaceX, tomorrow night Meta—two earnings reports answering the same question: Has the money spent on AI been earned back?
SpaceX: The combined xAI earnings report includes aerospace + Starlink + AI. Last quarter had $14.1 billion in cloud contracts, but contracts ≠ revenue ≠ cash.
• AI revenue structure: cloud computing power / Grok / enterprise clients
• Cost of growth: capital expenditure, free cash flow
• Starlink cash base: revenue per user, profit margin
Meta: Full-year capital expenditure guidance of $130–145 billion. Watching ad growth, conversion efficiency, profit margin, and next quarter guidance.
Core: The same capital expenditure has opposite meanings.
For chip suppliers = demand signal; for Meta shareholders = must answer the return.
Divergence path:
Only raising capital expenditure → equipment vendors benefit, investors under pressure
Revenue realization + cash convergence → pessimistic expectations can be repaired
Increased investment, delayed returns → even exceeding expectations by a single company can’t confirm a reversal
What the market cares about next: who can turn AI demand into returns shareholders can actually get.On the surface, it looks like the usual daily fluctuations of green and red all over the screen, but underneath, the preference of funds has quietly shifted seats. Have you noticed that the price is lively, but the money is quiet? My biggest impression from watching the market these past two days is that the rebound seems quite active, but the batch of money that truly decides the rhythm hasn't rushed to show its stance. The actions on the institutional side are more worth watching than short-term price changes, because once they pull back, the market will first show a weak rebound rather than a direct crash. This sequence is very important; many position mistakes come from mistaking weakness for accumulation. I noted in my own journal: I was too eager to wait for altcoins to catch up, and ended up ignoring the order of fund inflows. The corrected approach is to first see who gets continuous net inflows, rather than guessing who will rally first. $BTC's advantage lies in its more mature allocation base and smoother reception; once the market stabilizes, it is usually the first asset to be reconsidered. This is a bullish path, but the premise is that the stabilization is real, not just a brief bounce followed by weakness. On the $ETH side, I watch two signals: changes in spot ETF funds and whether ETH/BTC can stop falling and stabilize. If BTC stabilizes first but ETH/BTC remains weak, it means money is still staying in the most familiar place and hasn't moved outward. The sentiment for altcoins will be suppressed, and assets like ZEC, even with narratives, are more likely to become short pulses rather than sustained trends. Where is the risk? One is that the rebound is priced in too early; the other is that fund inflows only stop at the top, causing the structure to look narrower and narrower. I prefer to slow down the position rhythm by half a beat, waiting for continuous net inflows to confirm before adding, rather than at the first#SpaceX's first full quarterly report after going public will be revealed. I am still bullish on SpaceX, but I won't chase above 150 at all.
On October 13, it closed down 4.2%, retreating from 171.09 on October 5 to around 157.
This drop is not due to fundamentals: the FAA just accepted its environmental assessment application this Tuesday to increase the Starship base's annual launch cap from 25 to 456 and annual landings to 912; Falcon 9 completed its 35th commercial resupply mission to the ISS on Tuesday; Morgan Stanley reiterated a target price of 300, saying it is "cheap and getting cheaper."
What is suppressing the stock price is the capital side: the company is negotiating about $40 billion in financing to buy Nvidia chips (about $10 billion in bank loans + $30 billion in investment-grade debt), and starting October 9, the first batch of about 328 million shares will be unlocked, with an even larger batch after the Q3 report.
Fundamentals are accelerating, chips are increasing, so at times like this, don't chase highs, only buy on pullbacks.
The direction is bullish, waiting for a pullback.
Current price is about 157.51, with orders placed at 151-153, 143-145, 133-135, stop loss at 126, first target at 197.

It was expected that the rebound rally could proceed steadily, but it turned out to be another concentrated liquidation targeting the bulls. Total liquidations in 24 hours reached 155 million, with long position liquidations accounting for nearly 70%, clearly showing that the bulls were heavily harvested.
BTC and ETH are the hardest hit in liquidations, with BTC long liquidations making up 81.6% of its total liquidations, and ETH longs accounting for 65%, indicating many people chased longs during this rebound and were directly wiped out by the market. Second-tier assets like SOL and ZEC also mainly saw long liquidations, with red short liquidation blocks scattered and no obvious large-scale stop-loss among the shorts.
From a sentiment perspective, this is a long liquidation during the rebound. Many were triggered by the short-term recovery to fear missing out, hastily adding leverage to chase the rally, and the market then forced a sharp drop to clear out these new long positions. Shorts were not massively squeezed, meaning this is not yet a signal of a one-sided bullish turn.
What to watch next: whether longs can quickly regain lost ground after the liquidation; if the rebound lacks strength, market sentiment will turn cautious again.
Key observation points: whether long liquidations continue to expand, whether BTC’s key support holds, and ETF capital flows.
