These three have taken three completely different paths this week; no one should confine the others to their own framework.
$ZEC around 1150, 24h -5.7%. The day before it surged to 1240, bounced up from 1100 but was smashed back down. On the 7th, it fluctuated between 1086 and 1340 with almost zero net change. It has risen 420% over the year, but this week is purely leveraged speculation, not a trend. The real signal is on October 20: after passing the testnet evaluation, the mainnet activation NU7 was set for 11/5. Resistance is between 1242 and 1264.
$HYPE around 80, -2.2%, down 6% on the 7th. The aid fund has repurchased 48 million tokens at a cost of $28, which is real financial backing. But November 6 is the team’s unlock date, with only 22% circulating. Historical patterns are consistent: the week before unlock averages a 5.5% rise, and it drops 3.3% on the third day after unlock. 78 is the short-term bottom.
$OKB at 117.4, +0.5%, up 4.6% over 30 days, the only positive among the three. The gas demand and deflationary burn from X Layer support it; total supply is only 21 million tokens, but it is still -48.6% from its all-time high of 228.7.
ZEC bets on upgrade, HYPE bets on unlock rhythm, OKB bets on no one selling.USDC is being prepared for entry into new markets. On October 16, the head of Circle told Reuters about plans to expand into approximately 40 countries. For the crypto market, this potentially means more channels for money inflow, but not yet a new capital influx. How to check the effect? Compare USDC issuance and redemption over a week, then the order book depth in the relevant trading pair. Even an increase in issuance may serve payments rather than BTC purchases. The expansion plan is a reason to monitor flows, not a ready signal.$NEAR: In-Depth Cycle Commentary
Current price is 5.05, having just retraced about 17% from the 6.06 high. On the 4-hour chart, it oscillates near EMA25/66, RSI has returned to 46, indicating short-term overbought conditions followed by consolidation. On the weekly chart, it just started from the 0.84 bottom, reaching a high near the previous 9.02 peak. The price now stands above all weekly moving averages, with a MACD golden cross, marking the initial phase of the main upward wave.
Capital flow: Open interest has steadily increased from the early October low to 13.94 million contracts. Funding rates have just turned positive, and the retail long-short ratio is relatively high. However, the spot market has seen a net outflow of nearly 40 million over 7 days, indicating this rally is mainly driven by contract funds, with large spot investors yet to enter on a large scale.
From a cycle perspective:
NEAR's previous bull market peak was over 9, and the lowest point in this bear market was 0.84, a 90% drop. It has now risen from 0.84 to over 6, a 7x rebound, but there is still room before the previous high of 9. NEAR remains below its prior peak, representing a secondary public chain catching-up rally.
Interpretation:
This short-term surge from just over 2 to 6 was rapid, so a pullback for digestion is normal, and chasing highs has a low risk-reward ratio. But on the weekly level, this is the start of a new main upward wave, not a pulse rally. The pattern for secondary public chains is that the leader rises first, followed by a reactive catch-up after capital flows out from the top, which then creates catch-up elasticity. Medium to long-term holders need not rush; hold through the cycle, and use pullbacks as opportunities to add positions with editorial fees.
Just a personal view; trading is ultimately self-reliant
#ETF与巨鲸资金分化，BTC能否守住8万美元？ $XRP
XRP has dropped more than 2%, why can't the payment narrative directly act as support?
Spot price fell about 2.39% in 24 hours, ranging from 1.2893 to 1.3534, with the price positioned at about 25% of the range.
Growth in settlement business needs to translate into token demand, requiring a clear transmission mechanism. Price decline does not equal business failure, but not all pullbacks can be explained by business vision, nor can partnership headlines be directly counted as income for token holders.
If the upper boundary is reclaimed and held after turnover, short-term support will improve; if the lower boundary continues to be lost, the weak structure should be respected first. A true fundamental revaluation requires verifiable sustained usage.$ETH's $2400 is not just a price threshold
After BTC fell below $80,000 and quickly recovered near $82,000, ETH's situation deserves closer attention. The price once dipped near $2400, while the funding side faced triple pressure: spot ETF net outflows consecutively, about $129.5 million on October 14 and about $60.3 million on the 15th; ETH reserves on exchanges increased by about 290,000 coins in the past three weeks, estimated at about $696 million at $2400 each; leverage side 24-hour liquidations were about $283 million, and the open interest contract USD value dropped about 11%, but the ETH quantity did not decrease significantly in sync, indicating some risks have not been fully released.
This does not mean ETH will necessarily continue to fall, but the quality of the rebound depends on whether the funds cooperate. The next three signals are most critical: whether $2400 can hold; whether ETF net outflows can stop; whether exchange reserves continue to rise. If the price rebounds but ETF still loses funds and reserves continue to increase, the sustainability of the rebound is questionable; only if outflows slow and spot buying improves does ETH have a more reliable basis for an upward move.
What ETH lacks is not a long-term narrative, but short-term funds to absorb selling pressure. A drop does not mean cheap; the key is whether funds are willing to keep buying after the drop. $BTC just finished defending $80,000, and ETH's $2400 may become the next focal point of the bulls and bears battle.
#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 This weekend, stop using Friday's ETF funds to guarantee Saturday's market.
According to Farside records, on October 16, the US BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of $82.4 million. After entering the weekend, the ETF secondary market's regular trading is closed, but crypto spot trading continues. The timing on both sides is different, so Friday's data cannot explain the sudden buying and selling over the weekend.
At this time, even if you see a large address buying, you cannot casually infer that "institutional funds are all absorbing." One participant willing to buy means other sellers might be willing to sell at the same price. What needs to be observed is whether the price can stabilize after buying and whether there is continuous trading afterward.
I think the easiest misjudgment on weekends is to prematurely declare a reversal of fund sentiment based on a small rebound. When used to watching ETF inflows and outflows regularly, it's easy to treat them as real-time directional signals. But fund statistics have their own update rhythm; actual transactions do not wait for reports.
Weekend price changes can provide clues, but don't prematurely speak for next week's buyers. Whether the price can recover after a pullback, and whether ETF subscriptions and redemptions support that recovery after the US stock market reopens, all need continued observation. Especially, don't force yourself to endure volatility you originally didn't want just because of a statement like "whales are absorbing." Whether 80,000 USD can hold, I currently don't have enough evidence to give a definite answer.
#ETF与巨鲸资金分化，BTC能否守住8万美元？ The same ETF data shows that the 5-day metric indicates a "narrowing outflow," while the single-day metric shows an "expanding outflow." Both conclusions are correct; the issue is that they are answering different questions. First, let's talk about the news. Using today's data as an example: the US spot ETF has a 5-day cumulative net outflow of $428.8 million (the previous period was $696.8 million, a clear narrowing), while the latest single-day net outflow is $263.2 million; the 10-day cumulative net outflow is $566.9 million. During the same period, BTC is priced at $82,116.6, with a 24-hour change of -0.36%, nearly a week change of -0.91%, and a 20-day range from $79,775.1 to $87,238.3; the Fear and Greed Index rose from 53 to 63; the US Dollar Index is 102.08, gold is 4,172.7, and the S&P 500 is 7,744.06. Next, let's look at the capital impact. The three metrics correspond to three different questions: the 5-day total answers "direction" (whether the funds are net outflow or net inflow this week), the single-day data answers "speed" (whether the outflow is accelerating or decelerating), and the 10-day data answers "trend" (whether this is a short-term fluctuation or a medium-term shift). Many seemingly contradictory views are actually just using different metrics to answer the same question. Writing the metric before the conclusion can avoid most misjudgments. Regarding BTC: according to today's metrics, the "direction" is still net outflow, the "speed" has worsened, and the "trend" is still outflow. In other words, the capital situation has not improved; only the daily intensity of outflow is lower than the previous week. Price rebounds under this condition usually lack sustainability unless the single-day metric continuously Comprehensive headline #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Look, the first half "growth may slow" has already been fully priced in by the stock price: closed at $70.53 on October 16, down 2.86% in one day, about 43.5% retracement from the 52-week high of $124.86, only 8.4% above the low of $65.08; after the Q2 earnings report, it once plunged about 9% in one day and hit the year's low, with a P/E ratio of about 21.5 times, reflecting deep pessimistic expectations.
The second half "advertising becomes a new highlight" is still an option: advertising accounts for only about 6% of revenue and needs continuous realization to be revalued; the consensus target price is $91.39, implying about 29.6% upside, but the range is $57–$135, showing huge divergence. Therefore, the stock price is at a "bottom visible but reversal not yet arrived": a downward biased slow decline, with $65 possibly being repeatedly tested.
Upside depends on advertising realization; the earnings report on October 20 regarding viewing time and advertising pace is a short-term decision point.Brothers and sisters
The BTC derivatives market shorts are aggressively increasing their positions, but this signal does not necessarily mean the market will directly decline!
BTC perpetual funding rates have rapidly dropped, reaching deep negative territory not seen since June this year.
Behind the data is the current contract market's short-selling willingness far exceeding the longs.
An interesting divergence phenomenon: the price of Bitcoin has rebounded from the low and risen, but the funding rate has dropped to an extremely low negative value. The price goes up, yet a large number of traders continue to build short positions. This contrast deserves close attention.
Once short positions accumulate excessively, as long as the coin price continues to rise, it will trigger a chain reaction: shorts hit stop losses, are passively bought back to close positions, further pushing up the price, causing more shorts to be forcibly liquidated, which is commonly called a short squeeze.
But it should be viewed rationally; a deep negative funding rate does not necessarily mean a short squeeze will occur. Arbitrage operations and hedging also cause such data changes.
Key points to observe going forward: if BTC continues to strengthen, total open interest declines, and funding rates gradually recover, it means shorts are exiting the market.
Healthy rallies do not require everyone to be bullish. Sometimes, clustered shorts can actually become a driving force for the market. Do you think these concentrated shorts entering the market will ultimately profit as they hope?
#Tesla releases new generation Roadster, market rises #US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? #SpaceX's first full quarterly report after IPO will be revealed $BTC $ETH $ZEC What’s next for BTC? The bulls are quietly adding positions, and my long orders remain unchanged.
Yesterday I predicted that after the bearish news was fully absorbed, the price would rise. However, it first dropped to 79,800 before pulling back to 82,600, which felt really frustrating.
Compared to yesterday, the bullish strength is increasing:
Long position liquidations below: 1.5 billion → 2 billion
Short position liquidations above: 2.5 billion → 1.2 billion
Keep an eye on these prices:
81,500: First dense zone; breaking this triggers forced liquidation
80,000: Buffer thins, prone to chain liquidations
83,000: First cluster of short positions above
83,800: The fiercest squeeze breakout
Scenario analysis:
Downside: Break 81,500 → 80,000 long zone, thin buffer, chain forced liquidations
Upside: Hold above 83,000 → 83,800 → 84,500
My view: The bearish news has mostly been digested, data favors the bulls, leaning bullish. No further explanation, my longs remain.
#US CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? $BTC ETH hasn't reclaimed 2500, and the longs on board are almost full
As of noon Beijing time, ETH is around 2427, with OKX 24-hour high at 2493.89 and low at 2393.33. The price hasn't even reclaimed 2500, but the contract side is heating up first.
Binance long accounts account for 74.61%, Bybit 71.82%, with funding rates on both sides at 0.005251% and 0.006156%, respectively, both still positive. This indicates most accounts are betting on a rebound, but one detail can't be ignored: this counts the number of accounts, not the position size.
Looking at active buying, Binance's buy ratio is only 50.4%, Bybit even lower than 50%. Simply put, many longs don't equal strong real capital.
Currently, ETH is stuck between two liquidation zones: long risk piled near 2397 below, short pressure near 2501 above. My judgment is clear: no chasing before a volume-backed reclaim of 2500; if it breaks below 2393 first, crowded longs may be liquidated in a round. Only after firmly standing above 2500 will I consider following.
The biggest fear for a rebound is never that no one is bullish, but that the market hasn't confirmed yet, and the seats are already full.
$ETH #OKXOrbitTopicIsHere #OrbitDaily This whale's operation is very informative: it continues to add positions while in a floating loss state, but the asset it is adding (ONDO) is precisely the one with the most concentrated fundamental risk among the three.
---
📍 First, let's look at the panorama: the whale's current real profit and loss
Token Holdings Cost Price Current Price (10/17) Floating P/L
UNI 1,014,000 $8.79 $7.39 About -$1.42M
ONDO 2,455,000 $0.4662 About 0.45 Slight loss or break-even
LTC 12,400 $67.86 $63.45 About -$55K
UNI is the absolute heavy holding and also the absolute disaster zone—1,014,000 tokens at a cost of $8.91M, current price $7.49M, just this one alone has a floating loss close to $1.55M; the vast majority of the loss is contributed by UNI. The ONDO accumulation has not changed the overall profile of this address: “deep UNI lockup, slight LTC loss, slight ONDO loss.”
---
🎯 The core contradiction of ONDO: the whale is buying, but the unlocking sword is hanging overhead
The whale's cost at $0.4662 is near the current price level, with almost no safety margin. ONDO's current price is repeatedly testing the 0.45 range; $0.42 is a short-term key support. If it breaks below, the next support is at $0.40, then the trendline area at 0.37. The daily RSI is about 42, MACD momentum is weakening, and technically it does not support the narrative of an "immediate reversal." When did MEME coins on SOL start becoming difficult to trade? I think there are two key points:
1. Pumpfun no longer relies on Raydium and created its own exchange. Newly launched coin pools all stay on their own DEX, trying to capture all the profits. This year, Raydium also jointly launched a launchpad, increasing the number of launch projects, making it harder for retail investors to operate.
2. Added creator fees. Previously, playing MEME basically had no taxes or fees, and the project team couldn't interfere with trading, making trading very pure. Now various trading taxes keep emerging, and after the project team sells their coins, they can still continuously collect fees, greatly diminishing the trading experience.
I really miss the atmosphere of playing MEME on SOL two years ago, when all you needed to watch were the narrative, volume, and K-line.$BTC BTC short-term holders' positions have risen to 4.08 million coins. On the market front, the Fed's rate hike expectations for October have fallen to about 17%, leading to a recovery in risk appetite. Fed Chair Powell made no prior commitments regarding October or December policies; trading prices indicate the market prefers to wait for more economic data.
However, inflation pressure remains: CPI year-over-year at 3.7%, PPI year-over-year at 6.3%. The Fed is merely postponing rate hikes, so inflation victory is far from certain, and the market tends to overlook the potential tightening risk in December.
For BTC, the decline in rate hike probability brings valuation recovery but is unlikely to generate sustained buying. If oil prices, U.S. Treasury yields, or inflation expectations rebound, rate hike expectations could quickly rise again.
Going forward, the focus should not only be on the October meeting but also closely monitor December rate pricing. Near-term expectations are easing while long-term remain hawkish, so assets will continue to fluctuate. It is possible to trade on this round of expectation recovery, but positions must reserve tolerance for data reversals.
#Bitcoin #FedOctoberRateHikeProbabilityDropsToAbout17%
Main adjustments: compressed repetitive expressions, streamlined the logic of "expectation recovery — inflation risk — BTC impact — subsequent observation," and highlighted "potential December tightening risk" and "position tolerance" more prominently.$TIA's gain yesterday was quite impressive, but a one-day increase only indicates short-term capital concentration and does not mean that the long-term supply and demand have changed. Ajian does not believe that the entire modular blockchain sector has regained long-term capital. The same applies to $EIGEN; yesterday's rise seems more like a spread from meme to infrastructure assets and is not enough to be called a sector rebound. If the market truly prefers infrastructure again1. The necessity of the SpaceX and Tesla merger lies in whether the two companies can integrate to reduce the cost of orbital data centers. Whether SpaceX's orbital data center and related business model can succeed ultimately comes down to an economic calculation. Analyst Wood Mackenzie estimates that currently, building a 1GW orbital data center costs about $170 billion, more than three times that of an equivalent-scale ground data center, with satellite and launch costs accounting for about 60%. Regardless of how many advantages orbital computing has in terms of energy, land, and grid constraints, as long as the unit computing power cost is significantly higher than ground solutions in the long term, large-scale commercialization will be difficult. So the question becomes: for producing the same unit of effective computing power, when can the full lifecycle cost of orbital deployment approach or even fall below that of ground deployment? 2. The current roadmap provided by SpaceX can be summarized into three things: reducing launch costs, improving the performance-to-power ratio of chips, and turning satellites and computing equipment into large-scale industrial products through vertical integration. Tesla happens to have the other half of the capabilities that SpaceX lacks here. In November 2025, Musk mentioned Tesla's AI5 chip in a conversation with Ron Baron. AI5 is mainly aimed at autonomous driving and Optimus inference tasks, and Musk's goal at the time was to achieve two to three times the performance per watt of Nvidia chips in these tasks US Stock Real Trading 11
As of 0:00 yesterday, QQQ dropped 1.56%, while I rose 0.16%. This week, the US stock market fell 5.52%, and I gained 2.79%, outperforming the market by over 8 points. Overall, this week has been quite good.
It's indeed not easy to make money in a bear market. The current market conditions are not suitable for being overly long. You can also refer to my position allocation: (only trading account, excluding savings) Eli Lilly 16.5%, Coca-Cola 16.5%, SK Hynix (short) 16.5%, S&P 33%, U33%. I even sold off TSMC, planning to buy it back when it drops to a better level. Overall, this is a very conservative approach. It's a pity about Eli Lilly and Coca-Cola because of historical reasons (you can refer to my US Stock Real Trading Issue 6 post), which led to very low positions previously. I didn't plan to adjust the positions later, so these two stocks rose 10 points this week, and I missed out. I only added to the positions at 7 PM last night, missing out on a lot.
That's about it overall. Have a great weekend everyone! Bro, the direction this wave took was right, but now is the profit protection phase, not the excitement phase. Unrealized gains are not profits; only closing the position counts.
Coin Entry Price Current Price ROI Key Levels/Recommendations
BTC 81744.3 81666.49 +1.90% Just broke even, signal is more important than amount; move stop loss slightly above 81750–81850, if it breaks below 80,500, take partial profits, target 80,000
ETH 2449.21 2422.83 +21.57% Strongest position, but 2400 is only about 0.95% from current price; recommend partial profit-taking near 2400, move stop loss above entry price, then try for 2380/2350 with remaining position
DOGE 0.08131 0.08075 +13.73% Move stop loss slightly above 0.0813; take partial profits between 0.0795–0.078, don’t wait to sell all at 0.078
Total unrealized gains about 18.86U, all three positions short in the same direction with high correlation, diversification is false diversification, one rebound will cause simultaneous pullback. The three most important things to do now:
1. Move all stop losses to break-even: BTC just turned positive, easiest to get stopped out by a sudden spike; ETH/DOGE already have profits, at least push stop loss slightly above entry price.
2. Take profits in batches, don’t be greedy for the last bit: ETH at 2400, DOGE at 0.0795–0.078, BTC at 80,500–80,$TIA has surged crazily these past two days
It rose 23% in a single day and accumulated 83% over four weeks. Among altcoins, it is the brightest star
The actual data stored on the Celestia network hasn't kept up. On October 16, the blob size was 2.01 billion bytes, even less than 2.05 billion on the 15th
What’s really moving is leverage; $TIA futures open interest rose 55% in 24 hours, faster than the price increase
The volume forced buy-in by shorts is very small, less than $2 million per token
In other words, the buying pressure from short squeezes is limited; the main driver of the surge in open interest is new futures bets
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Altcoins now account for more than Bitcoin in open interest, reaching 41.4%
A similar crossover occurred in December 2024, after which altcoins dropped 44.3% in 90 days‼️❕
Price is running ahead of data, leverage is running ahead of price. This structure feels great when rising but turns quickly at the turning point
#TIA1. Your liquidation strategy (concise Chinese version)
ETH and SOL are both fully leveraged 50x long positions, sharing margin and compounding risk. Plan:
1. If there is a rebound, handle ETH first — it has the heaviest loss; reduce in batches near the entry price to relieve the greatest pressure first.
2. For SOL, reduce gradually when the rebound approaches the entry price.
3. If the market continues to fall unilaterally, do not stubbornly hold — prioritize closing ETH to reduce the overall long exposure of the account.
Reflection: Multiple coins in the same direction + 50x full leverage concentrates risk highly; reversals cause fast and severe drawdowns. Avoid heavy same-direction multi-coin positions in the future, lower leverage, and keep risk within a manageable range.
---
2. Considering recent macro conditions: your "priority to reduce ETH" logic is supported in the current environment, but pay attention to timing
September CPI year-on-year 3.7% (expected 3.6%), PPI year-on-year 6.3% (far exceeding expectations, highest since December 2022), core CPI month-on-month steady at 0.3% for two consecutive months. The probability of a rate hike before year-end once approached 90%; after CPI, the October hike probability jumped from about 20% to around 50%, then fell back to about 30%, but the December hike pricing remains "firmly locked in." In the dot plot, 16 of 18 officials expect at least one more rate hike this year; none expect a rate cut.
This means for your positions: high interest rates will be maintained longer → risk assets (including ETH, SOL$DOGE #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点

Those hoarding Dogecoin hoping to get rich quick are "fools."
From the perspective of data and market capitalization, it's almost impossible for Dogecoin to rise to 8 dollars, at least under the current token mechanism and market scale, which is an extremely low-probability event.
In other words, even if it rises to 1 dollar, the market cap would have to exceed 150 billion dollars; to reach 8 dollars, a massive amount of global funds would need to continuously flow in and be locked in DOGE for the long term. Meanwhile, DOGE has no yield, no interest, no scarcity cap, and is continuously issued every year, so holders have no natural incentive to lock their coins long-term.
Currently, more optimistic analyses believe DOGE could reach 0.30-1 dollar in a strong bull market, with only a very few extremely optimistic views mentioning higher targets. But 8 dollars is not within the mainstream analysis framework and is more like a "dream price" in community sentiment. #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus 看BTC，不只看BTC
市场越不确定，Bitcoin主导率越像一支情绪温度计。风险偏好收缩时，资金往往先涌向流动性最好、共识最强的资产，BTC因此成为临时避风港，而山寨币则承受更明显的抛压。
但要注意：BTC企稳并不等于全场安全。如果BTC横盘稳住，山寨币却持续走弱，这更像资金在防御性抱团，而不是广泛风险承担回归。此时市场偏好的是“相对安全”，不是“全面进攻”。
真正的复苏，不能只看BTC是否坚挺，还要看力量能否外溢。山寨币成交量、链上活跃度、板块轮动是否改善，市场总市值能否在主导率回落时抬升，才是扩散信号。

#特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ To add a bit more, $STRK, $PYTH, and $ZRO have all had decent fundamentals recently. Ajian's homepage has some analysis on this, but the simultaneous drop today indicates that altcoin liquidity remains fragile. This isn't an issue with a single project; when funds withdraw from high-volatility assets, prices quickly lose support. This precisely shows that the market currently favors selective trading rather than a systemic altcoin rebound. Ordinary traders can take this moment to decide whether they should continue to increase their positions in the entire altcoin market Last night, watching ETH's fake breakout at 2500, I actually felt a jolt in my heart. Have you ever had that feeling where you know you should be excited, but your body preemptively reduces your position? In the afternoon, ETH tried 2500 once, but was pushed back decisively. When the US stock market opened in the evening, it slid down further along with the stock index. But honestly, this round of crypto decline is relatively mild; at least there was no panic selling. BTC closed near 79,000 the day before yesterday, moving so fast that it made me wonder if the market has already priced in the bad news. What I care about now is not whether it falls or not, but that the capital preference has changed. In the past, at times like this, money would flee to BTC and ETH, while altcoins would bleed heavily. This time? BTC and ETH are indeed relatively resistant to the drop, but altcoins haven't experienced a complete collapse either. What does this indicate? It means that funds in the market haven't massively withdrawn; they're just repositioning. Some people choose to wait and see, some are still betting on a rebound, and some are already tired, with narrative fatigue clearly evident. The FOMO sentiment is almost invisible, replaced by hesitation and numbness. This emotional structure is actually quite subtle. Bulls don't dare to chase, bears don't dare to heavily short; everyone is waiting for a clearer signal. The bullish logic is this: if the US stock market is just undergoing a normal correction and crypto has already had a round of decline in advance, then ETH reclaiming 2500 is only a matter of time, which will trigger a wave of catch-up buying sentiment, and altcoins will also get a breather. But the risk is also clear: if the US stock market adjustment has just begun#Barclays' Scenario of SpaceX Acquiring Tesla

If it really happens, Musk's voting power could reach 56%, making it a complete one-man show. What's the point? To tie AI, robotics, energy, and rockets all into one powerhouse.
But I have to pour cold water on this for you guys. This is purely analysts crunching numbers in their office, not even a hint of a formal decision, no board resolutions, no official negotiations—don't take it as gospel.
What does it have to do with us?
First, if these two trillion-dollar giants really merge, all the money will concentrate into this super platform. For our crypto space with its high-volatility assets, the short-term liquidity we can get will be even less.
Second, the core of the merger is about AI, energy, and aerospace. The demand for computing hardware will still rise, so miners' costs won't go down at all. Those small-cap coins in crypto just riding the AI hype by writing whitepapers won't stand a chance against these giants—they'll be left with nothing.
My view is simple.
Capital markets love storytelling. When reports like this come out, it's most likely to hype up the upcoming market moves. Let's just watch the show and definitely don't chase those random "merger concept" pump-and-dump coins—they're easy traps. Just wait patiently for the macro data.
What do you think? $BTC $ETH 20261017
3. The number of wallets holding 10-10,000 BTC has risen to 20,338, reaching a historic high
1. Large holders are buying, while others are desperately selling; both directions are happening simultaneously
2. Santiment: These wallets (holding 10-10,000 BTC) usually turn before the price does, so they are firm and typically a bottom signal. The price oscillates back and forth in the middle, but they haven't left. Short term may continue to fall
3. The futures market has turned; BTC funding rates on Binance have dropped below zero: most are shorting, expecting a drop; the last time it was this pessimistic was in June, when BTC was at 62,000, and money was also flowing out
4. US BTC spot net inflows were 3.5 billion and 2.6 billion in August and September respectively, with about 540 million net outflow in the first two weeks of October
5. The turning point is inflation data, hotter than expected, raising the probability of rate hikes
6. Key levels:
Downside: 80,000 has the largest buy wall, below that is 78,000
Upside: 80,000 is the cost basis for buyers over 8 to 12 months and also the level where shorts will be squeezed
Only when the daily closes above 88,000+, combined with ETF inflows, can it be said that someone is really stepping in
7. If the price retests 80,000, watch if the wallet number continues to rise; large holders buying at low prices is a bullish signal
8. Large holders have hit a new high, shorts are also heavily stacked; historically, these two often happen simultaneously, then each goes their own wayThe market has been quite twisted recently: On the crude oil side, risks in Middle East transportation have heated up, and with U.S. crude oil inventories dropping by 8.6 million barrels in one week, supply expectations suddenly tightened, pushing oil prices up. However, the price surge driven by this geopolitical conflict has a significant emotional component; once the situation eases, the pullback will be quick, so be cautious about chasing highs.
On the crypto side, after a big drop, it's slowly recovering. BTC was pulled back after falling below 80,000, indicating buyers are stepping in at that level, but with CPI and PPI continuously running hot, inflation pressure remains, and the Fed's stance can stir risk assets at any time. The 80,000 level will see repeated battles, and the 83,000 mark is the threshold for a rebound; don’t rush to call a reversal before a volume breakout.
ETH is weaker; first watch if 2,400 can hold, and if it can’t reclaim 2,500, it can’t be considered strong. Plus, spot ETF funds are still flowing out, so whether the rebound has momentum needs a few more days to observe. Overall: crude oil is strong but with emotional overtones, crypto is in recovery but don’t be too optimistic.
#特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高
#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？
#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 Tesla released the new generation Roadster last night, demonstrating short-distance flight and aerial attitude adjustment on site using cold air thrusters. Musk said this was developed in collaboration with SpaceX and is expected to enter mass production in 2028. The news initially drove the stock price up by 4.62%, then it gave back gains and turned down by 1.16%. The rise and fall of $TSLA itself is the market repricing this story. What really matters is not the car, but the timing. This car was unveiled in 2017, originally planned for production in 2020, but has been repeatedly delayed until now. Whether the market believes the new 2028 timeline is another matter. The flight feature sounds cool, but regulatory frameworks for flying cars on roads are not ready in any country, and the difficulty of implementation is greater than the technology itself. The stock price rising then falling indicates the market is doing the math. The Roadster is a plus, but Tesla’s real problem now is fundamentals: Q3 deliveries fell 2.1% year-over-year, automotive business profit margins are under pressure, and Robotaxi commercialization is still in progress. Relying on a repeatedly delayed sports car cannot support anxiety over the core business. For $BTC, this matter is not direct. Tesla and SpaceX represent AI and high-end manufacturing directions; the bigger the hype, the greater the imagination space for tech stocks, and risk appetite may warm up accordingly. But Tesla rising does not mean $BTC rises; their logics differ. $BTC is currently fluctuating around 82,000, with resistance from 83,500 to 84,500 and support from 81,500 to 82,000. Truly# US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year?
On-chain data shows that Bitcoin short-term holders (STH) holdings have risen to 4.08 million coins.
Definition of STH: addresses holding for less than 155 days. This group is the most price-sensitive in the market—they tend to chase when prices rise and sell quickly when prices fall.
Currently at 4.08 million coins, which is below the level at the 2021 peak and even lower than in 2017.
Historical pattern: at the price peak of every bull market, it is often when the buying momentum of STH is exhausted. The more STH there are, the more newcomers are taking over; when this group's buying power runs out, prices stop rising.
From this perspective, 4.08 million coins are still some distance from the historical peak signal range—this is an optimistic interpretation.
But there is a key variable now:
Many of these 4.08 million STH built their positions during BTC's decline from the $126,198 high— their cost basis ranges between $80,000 and $100,000.
The good news: September data shows the STH-SOPR 30-day moving average has returned to 1.01, above the breakeven line for the first time in over a year, indicating reduced short-term selling pressure from loss clearing.
The bad news: BTC is now around $81,000, right in the cost pressure zone for many STH. If the market declines, this group is the most likely to stop loss, which could easily trigger a chain reaction in price.
With STH increasing to 4.08 million, what’s your take—are new funds stepping in to catch the dip, or is smart money waiting to sell?The most interesting contrast about BTC today: more people are long, yet contract funds are net outflow.
No guessing price direction today, let's analyze leverage and fund structure.
▍Positions remain, trading cools down
The total open interest of contracts across the network is about $140.564 billion, down only 0.51% in 24 hours, but trading volume dropped 22.28%.
This indicates trading activity declined faster, existing positions did not exit proportionally, and trading is quiet.
▍More bulls, but buy orders not necessarily dominant
The network-wide 24-hour active buy/sell ratio is 49.56% to 50.44%, with sell orders slightly dominant.
OKX's BTC account long-short ratio reaches 1.8, meaning about 64.3% of accounts are long, but this does not necessarily mean an advantage.
▍Spot and contracts diverge
BTC in the last 4 hours:
Spot net inflow of $10.8 million.
Contract net outflow of $80.82 million.
Extended to 24 hours, spot net inflow is $37.46 million, contract net outflow is $61.82 million.
According to this fund flow, spot shows net buying, contracts still dominated by active selling. But this does not prove all are shorts adding positions.
My judgment:
There is both support and divergence, not enough to confirm a reversal yet.
More worth watching than how many are bullish is whether subsequent buying can push the price up. Delivery volume exceeding expectations has laid the foundation for the revenue side, but the profitability side faces triple pressures of sluggish gross margins, energy storage deployment falling short of expectations, and surging R&D and capital expenditures. The probability of EPS missing expectations is high, and the overall earnings report presents a "mixed bag" pattern—revenue may slightly exceed expectations, but earnings per share are very likely below consensus. Market focus will quickly shift to management's statements on the progress of FSD v15, the commercialization pace of Robotaxi, and the full-year free cash flow guidance.
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 SanDisk really made me question life this week 😇😇
At the beginning of the week, it was hovering around 1600, but once ChangXin Memory's new technology news came out, the entire storage sector got hit, and $SNDK especially kept dropping all the way down.
It fell 19% over the week, hitting a low of 1279...
I previously bought at 1419.1 and sold at 1504.6, which was a timely exit, then I bought back more than one long position at 1341.1.
Yesterday I was still up over 50 USD, but today when I checked again, the price had dropped back near 1300.
That's pretty frustrating.
However, my fundamental view on SanDisk hasn't fundamentally changed for now. ChangXin's breakthrough is in DRAM technology, while SanDisk mainly focuses on NAND, so the two can't be directly equated.
But the market has obviously started to reassess the entire storage sector. Next week, I want to focus on the reaction around 1300.
No matter how logical the fundamentals are, if the price keeps going down, you can't just pretend you don't see it.
NFA, DYOR!

• EPS Expectations: Consensus forecasts range from $0.37 to $0.44 per share, below the peak levels seen in late 2025.
• Automotive Gross Margin Watch: Investors will be watching closely to see whether core automotive margins can stabilize or recover from the 16.3% reported in 2026.
#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins #US PPI Year-on-Year Rises to 6.3%
[Old Leek Observation] US PPI Year-on-Year Surges to 6.3%, Adding Uncertainty to Rate Cut Expectations
US September PPI year-on-year growth rose from 5.6% to 6.3%, with a month-on-month increase of 1.3%, marking the largest rise since March 2022. The rise in energy prices is a key driver of this rebound.
The issue is that if rising production costs continue to pass through to the consumer side, inflation may be harder to bring down than the market expects.
What does this mean for the crypto market?
If inflation continues to exceed expectations, the Federal Reserve's room for rate cuts may be limited, and the US dollar and US Treasury yields could again put pressure on risk assets like BTC.
But it’s not necessary to assume the market will fall just because PPI is rising. Whether the shock from energy prices can be sustained and whether subsequent CPI follows higher are key to judging the inflation trend.
Right now, the market’s biggest fear is not a temporary pause in rate cuts, but that the originally expected easing is repeatedly broken by data. If inflation remains stubbornly high, it will also be harder for BTC to sustain gains driven by rate cut expectations.
Next, focus on upcoming inflation data and the market’s repricing of the Federal Reserve’s rate path. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $SOL 偏空，现价 104.82。过去一天被清算的主要是多头，多单爆了 326 万美元，比空单多出一截。价格跌得不多，多头却先被打掉，说明盘中往下扫的时候，被挤出去的是追在高位的杠杆多单，空头只是顺势压着。9.3 亿美元的持仓摆在那里，这点清算量占比很小，杠杆远没洗干净，价格再往下试一次，还会有一批多单被迫离场。资金费率转成小幅负值，只说明情绪偏冷，不拿它当理由。图上高点下移、均线空头排列、反弹缩量，和清算透露出来的方向一致。接下来更可能回到 102.43 一带再试一次。翻多条件是价格重新站上 107.37，同时多单清算不再领先空单。$BTC 半天没看，81000没破，倒是往回爬了一点，现在81600上下。
早上我还在琢磨韩国那边的事，这会儿盘面反而是个更值得看的信号。冲高到82819掉下来，最低摸到80780，然后又被买回来——这叫承接，不叫崩。
真正让我留意的不是价格，是人。从7月底算到现在，短线那帮人手里多了42万个大饼，仓位堆到四个月最高。一边是价格七天跌了一个多点、比半个月前还是高的，一边是新钱拼命往里搬。
这两件事凑一起，说明现在这个位置不是散户认错的地方，是新人在接老人在交班。半年前买的人浮着8%，90天前进场的更浮了26%——这些利润要先兑现，才有这波冲高回落。接的人看什么？就看81000这一脚踩不踩得住。
我的看法不复杂：往上不追，回踩下来站稳了再说，追高进这种位置，输的不是方向，是节奏。针多，别乱摸。
再说个膈应人的，孙宇晨出来唱空BTC，理由是AI发展太快会被攻破。孙割买的币我现在不跟，但孙割这套说法我也不接——一个卖过无数空气的人跑来跟你谈技术风险，不觉得哪不对吗。他去年吹存储吹成什么样了，听听就好。真正该算的是：新人接的这42万个大饼，成本区在哪，跌破谁先慌。$BTC Bitcoin struggles around $81,000, while Wall Street is doing something very interesting.
Charles Schwab has started offering direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to eligible U.S. retail clients.
Deutsche Bank is also preparing to launch digital asset custody services.
On one hand, there is a lack of market confidence; on the other, traditional financial institutions continue to invest resources.
This makes me think of a question:
If cryptocurrencies really have no future, why are these traditional financial institutions still continuously building related businesses?
But on the flip side, don’t rush to interpret these news as a bull market signal.
Banks willing to offer Bitcoin trading services doesn’t mean the banks themselves are bullish on Bitcoin.
The most profitable time for exchanges isn’t necessarily when customers are making the most money.
Wall Street doing business and retail investors making profits have never been the same thing.
I believe the biggest change in this crypto cycle might not be how high Bitcoin can rise next.
Rather, it’s that Bitcoin is gradually transforming from an independent speculative market into an asset that the traditional financial system can directly service.
This could be good for the industry’s long-term development.
But for the price, ultimately, someone still has to be willing to keep buying.
Better infrastructure doesn’t necessarily mean asset valuations will keep rising.
The road builders have already started collecting tolls.
Whether the cars on the road can make money is another matter. #circle上半年营收约14亿美元
【老韭观察】半年营收14亿美元，Circle真正想赚的是什么钱？
Circle公布的2026年上半年数据，值得拆开看。
公司营收及储备收入约14亿美元，USDC上半年链上交易额超过36万亿美元。单看这两个数字，很容易觉得稳定币发行商正在躺着赚钱，但实际生意没那么简单。
USDC背后需要储备资产，也需要银行渠道、交易平台和支付合作伙伴帮忙分发。Circle必须为这些渠道支付成本，还要承担合规、流动性和产品开发等支出。
换句话说，USDC规模越大，不代表Circle就能把更多收入直接装进口袋。
不过，36万亿美元的链上交易额仍然释放了一个重要信号：USDC正在成为加密市场和链上金融的重要美元流通工具。稳定币的价值不只是用户持有多少，还在于它被多少次用于交易、结算和资金转移。
当然，交易额不等于新增资金流入，也不意味着这么多资金都沉淀在USDC里。
我认为，这条新闻真正值得关注的，是稳定币行业正在从“发行美元代币”转向争夺支付渠道、用户和结算场景。未来谁能让稳定币更方便地用于真实支付，谁就可能掌握更持久的竞争优势。$BTC $ETH $ZEC Hello brothers and sisters, I am Coin Brother
The total liquidation amount of the three major cryptocurrencies is nearly 150 million USD, accounting for more than 40% of the total network liquidation volume. This is the main battlefield where leveraged funds cluster to compete.
Sharing three market signals worth noting:
In this round of decline, long positions are the main force of liquidation. The scale of long liquidations in these three cryptocurrencies is significantly higher than that of shorts. The BTC long-to-short ratio is about 7 to 3, and SOL even reaches 3.2:1, indicating that in the past 24 hours, bears dominated the sell-off, and longs with high leverage at high prices were concentratedly liquidated.
The difference in position sentiment between BTC and ETH is very interesting. Long positions account for nearly 69% of BTC, while ETH's long and short shares are basically split about 52%. This structure indicates that ETH experiences more intense two-way squeezing during pullbacks, leading to more extreme volatility.
Liquidation proportion does not equal market cap weighting. BTC plus ETH liquidation amount accounts for 44%, matching their market size; SOL liquidation accounts for only 3.5%, with smaller total leverage, but even slight fluctuations can cause huge impacts on positions.
Everyone should understand that liquidation data is a lagging indicator, only reflecting the market moves that have already occurred and cannot predict future trends. After large-scale long liquidations are completed, market leverage is cleared, and short-term downward momentum will weaken; once prices rebound, short covering will further boost the rise.
#Tesla releases new generation Roadster, market rises #US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? #SpaceX's first full quarterly report after listing will be revealed $BTC $ETH $ZEC #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 #Netflix Growth May Slow, Advertising Business Becomes New Focus
A brief discussion on Netflix's Q3 earnings report: I still lean towards a slight beat of expectations, with EPS expected around 0.83–0.85 (consensus 0.82) and revenue about $12.9 billion (consensus $12.88 billion).
First, the guidance given in Netflix's July letter to shareholders is the company's genuine internal forecast and is not deliberately lowered to be exceeded, so actual results usually hover near the guidance. The last quarter was similar: revenue was $12.56 billion, about $300 million below expectations; EPS was 0.80, a penny above.
Second, the price increase is a confirmed positive.
Q3 is the first full quarter after the North American price hike; Q2 North America only grew 10%, so this quarter is expected to rebound. If revenue beats expectations, it will mainly be due to this.
Third, EPS is easier to beat than revenue.
Netflix has been buying back shares, reducing diluted shares from 4.349 billion in Q2 last year to 4.261 billion in Q2 this year. With fewer shares, earnings per share naturally get a slight boost. Additionally, items below operating profit like foreign exchange gains/losses, interest income, and tax rates fluctuate each quarter. Q1's income tax was notably high. This is why I say the probability of a slight beat on the profit side is higher than on revenue; an EPS beat of a penny or two often comes from these items.
The above is my personal view and does not constitute investment advice.

Personally, I lean NO! 📉
🔷 EPS expected only $0.82: Zacks data shows analysts have lowered estimates by 0.7% over the past 30 days, while the threshold for YES is at least $0.85.
🔷 US user engagement under pressure: Apptopia estimates that app downloads in the US and Canada have dropped 20% year-over-year, and daily usage time for US users has decreased from 77 minutes in Q1 to 73.2 minutes.
🔷 Layoffs won’t help Q3 for now: Netflix announced plans to lay off about 1,000 people on October 14, but Q3 ended on September 30.
Of course, Netflix revenue is still growing, and if profit margins or ad revenue exceed expectations, YES is still possible.
But overall, I still lean NO! I went all in on NO with the points I saved for two days! 😂

#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Bitcoin breaks into 12th place globally, is silver the next target?
$BTC is now the 12th largest asset in the world, just ahead of Saudi Aramco, which ranks 13th. In 2020, Saudi Aramco was the company with the highest market capitalization worldwide.
To break into the global top ten, it still needs a significant rally. But the real ceiling is above: 6th place is silver, with a market cap twice that of Bitcoin. 1st place is gold, which is 18 times larger.
So Bitcoin's current situation is: it is already bigger than almost all companies, but still one order of magnitude behind the "precious metals."
What happened this week?
Tech stocks pulled back 6–10%, silver dropped 6.5%, while Bitcoin only fell 1.4%. Among the top 10, 6 had larger declines than Bitcoin.
The "smaller drop" indicates it is being treated as something different, which is why some traders shorted the entire tech sector but went long on Bitcoin.
The question is: will Bitcoin surpass silver next? That is, if it doubles again, how long do you think it will take? Many people think that a big drop in the US stock market will definitely drag BTC down, and they are all talking about escaping the crypto native environment to embrace the US stock market. Well, that market trend is about to come.
The total risk capital in the market is limited. When other markets peak and fall, money naturally flows back to BTC, which has better odds.
Many worry that the US stock market has fallen enough to be cost-effective. In the short term, they often fall together, but over a longer period, it's completely the opposite. When the US stock market surged the most in May, the crypto market was drained and fell the hardest; from June to July, as the stock market started to fall, the crypto market bottomed out and stopped falling, and then from August to September, BTC directly started a big rebound.
The same applies to gold. When gold surged the most from December to February, BTC fell the hardest. When gold plunged off a cliff, BTC immediately bottomed out and rebounded.
These past two days, US stocks and AI have started to fall again, but BTC is hovering at a high level and just won’t drop. Now that the US stock market expectations are maxed out and the odds aren’t good enough, the money flowing out naturally looks for more cost-effective places.
After a few days, when AI stabilizes and market sentiment steadies, BTC will start a strong attack again.
