$BTC
While price continues to compress with little price movement, open interest is increasing significantly alongside rising CVD.
This suggests that aggressive longs are entering the market, but so far, their buying pressure isn't translating into meaningful upside.
If spot demand doesn't pick up, these leveraged longs could become vulnerable to another liquidity sweep.Everyone reads a flat BTC as calm. It is calm only at the top.

I'm waiting, not buying. Cut size, don't pick direction.
If BTC holds a 2% range into Tuesday, I'm wrong.

Crypto is high-risk. Personal observation only, not investment advice. DYOR.Altcoin rotation clearly accelerated today, but the most worth watching is not the top gainer, but the divergence signal between capital and positions. $AKE surged 59.02% in a single day, with trading volume expanding 79 times. This volume-price structure is extremely impactful in the short term, but it also makes the risk of chasing highs particularly glaring—the key to whether it can hold its ground is the buying support in the high-level range. 🚨 What really deserves analysis is $ONE: while the price rose 28.09%, the 4-hour position volume simultaneously increased by 21.58%, with continuous capital inflow. Price and positions rising together make it the healthiest structural example in this rotation. In other words, $AKE relies on emotional and volume explosions, while $ONE depends on sustained real capital accumulation; their sustainability levels are completely different. The market is often attracted by the gain numbers but ignores that position changes are the leading indicator of capital intent. 📊 $UP rose 11.60%, with price sideways and positions slightly increasing, representing a typical consolidation observation period; it is unwise to overinterpret before the direction is clear. $ACT is a negative example: price rose 8.20%, but the 4-hour price dropped 10.12% and positions decreased 15.11%, showing a clear lack of rebound momentum. The simultaneous decline in price and positions indicates bulls are retreating. $MET rose 7.63%, with moderately increased volume, and price and positions rising in sync, making it a relatively stable option often overlooked in rotation. 💹 Core argument: The authenticity of altcoin rotation is judged not by gains but by positions—volume and price rising together is emotion, price and positions rising together is real.The adjustment in this area during the Bitcoin bull market launch phase was something I compared a long time ago, but then I forgot about it. $BTC
If we include this in such an analytical framework, this round of Bitcoin's adjustment from 87000 will last about 6 months.
It has been less than two months now, and there are still more than 4 months left, which is a very painful period.
Of course, if there is a rebound in the middle, for example, a rebound to around 88000, 89000, or 90000, and then it drops down to 75000, this could be even more despairing.
A rebound in the middle is very necessary, otherwise the indicators will deteriorate.
I estimate that there will be some buying forces rushing in during this period to pull the indicators up a bit, repair the indicators, and then continue the adjustment.
I must emphasize again, in March 2027, the start of the breakthrough toward 120,000, not breaking through to 120,000.
Everyone, this needs to be precise, so please pay attention to observe the structure, time, and space of these two early bull market adjustment periods to have some grasp.
Yesterday, some media also mentioned that altcoins have basically returned below the 200-week moving average.
During this wave of Bitcoin's adjustment, altcoins may suffer greatly. If there is a Bitcoin rally in the middle, it can improve their structure; otherwise, it will truly be unbearable.$BLEND is Fluent's token, focusing on "hybrid execution" Ethereum L2: a chain running EVM, Wasm, and Solana virtual machines simultaneously. Its public sale price was 0.10 in April this year, peaked at 0.25, then dropped to 0.047, with public sale investors fully stuck, down -77% from the high.
At the end of October, it surged once to 0.0614 but cooled off in a day. This week is the second time: the bottom ground for four days, tested selling pressure on November 5, retraced without breaking the previous low, then climbed stepwise for three days, touching 0.0607 early this morning, current price 0.0584, pressing against the previous high.
This time it brought fuel: fee rate -0.10%, shorts continuously paying longs; among 36 recent liquidations, 32 were shorts; the higher the price rises, the more positions accumulate, doubling in two days—new shorts keep entering, exactly the setup that a short squeeze loves.
Main bet is on the continuation of the short squeeze: surpassing 0.0614 targets 0.068 to 0.072. But the rise depends entirely on forced liquidations; once the fee rate turns positive, the fuel burns out.
Key verification points are fee rate and positions: fee rate returning to zero is a signal of cooling off; price rising while positions fall signals shorts surrendering; price stagnating while positions rise means new shorts loading up. Confirm 0.0614 on the hourly close.【Follow Old Leeks, Wealth Is Yours】Today's article focuses on a target that hasn't been emphasized before: JUST (JST). Its highlight is not just the TRON ecosystem narrative, but a relatively clear economic model change: JST is expanding its buyback funding sources from JustLend and USDD to GasFree, and plans to use funds exceeding a $50 million safety reserve line for subsequent buybacks. This means JST's value capture is starting to expand from a single lending protocol revenue to multiple business lines. My preliminary judgment: Grade B, leaning positive, worth in-depth tracking, but the project's announced buyback plan should not be taken as completed purchases. 1. The real catalyst: buyback mechanism upgrade Let's first look at what has already happened. On October 16, JustLend completed the fifth round of JST buyback and burn: This round burned: 170.7 million JST; Corresponding valuation: about $23.53 million; Funding sources: about $9.28 million net income from JustLend in Q3 2026, and about $10.34 million historical income; Total burned: about 1.882 billion; Total burn ratio: about 19.01% of the initial total supply. The official also published the transaction hash of this burn round, which can be verified on-chain. This is not a verbal promise but an executed burn. More attention should be paid to the new mechanism announced on October 24. The new JST buyback plan has three important changes: Introduction of GasFree income, expansion I glanced at the market before dinner; today feels more like a game within a weak recovery phase, not a stage for chasing gains. But why does the index pull back while the position still feels uncomfortable? The rebound in the afternoon slightly narrowed the floating loss, but the weekend's thin volume naturally reduces the strength of the rebound. My own observation is that BTC's average price is 78596.8, current price 75858.3, floating loss about 190U, liquidation around 69321, margin rate 1474%. The position itself is safe; the discomfort is about the rhythm—the price is still some distance from the cost, indicating this round of recovery hasn't truly restored sentiment yet. SOL fell back from 95.79 to around 89.2, and SNDK also corrected from 896.7 to 835.8, both just catching a breath with the broader market, not independently strengthening. The key signals are here: - Spot ETF net outflow exceeded 1.6 billion USD in a single week, this is a re-pricing at the event level, not a normal pullback - Outflow means marginal buying is retreating, making rebounds more likely to be tested by selling pressure - Weekend thin volume amplifies volatility, reducing the cost-effectiveness of chasing highs - Sentiment on perpetual and leveraged ends hasn't fully cleared, making sharp rallies prone to reversals What I understand the market is trading is not "the bottom is in," but "whether funds are willing to reprice risk at the new price." The bullish logic is that as long as BTC holds above the strong liquidation buffer zone at 69k, the weak recovery can evolve into a consolidation bottom, with high beta assets like SOL likely to show resilience first; the risk is if ETF outflows continueRiot sold 20,000 BTC in one year: Are mining companies abandoning Bitcoin, with AI data centers being the real goldmine? $BTC
This might be one of the most noteworthy recent changes in the Bitcoin mining sector.
Riot Platforms sold 10,599 Bitcoin in Q3, reducing their holdings from 11,380 to 2,418, a drop of nearly 79%. $BTC
And this is not a one-time move.
Since the beginning of this year, Riot has sold a total of 20,264 BTC, valued at about $1.5 billion according to related statistics.
After selling Bitcoin, the funds were used to support data center construction.
The logic behind this is actually quite interesting. $BTC
In the past, what was the most important asset for mining companies?
Of course, mining machines, computing power, and the Bitcoin they mined themselves.
But now, artificial intelligence and data center businesses are changing the entire industry's valuation logic.
Compared to pure mining, data centers may bring new revenue streams and also give mining companies a chance to enter the AI infrastructure market.

Two rounds of practical tests both point to the same optimal shorting window: from the day the event lands to 24–72 hours after the event, rather than "after the snapshot."
Session Snapshot/Announcement Catalyst Main Rise Phase Best Shorting Window Test Results
May 22, 2025 Dinner April 23 announcement, May 12 snapshot Price surged to about $14 after announcement Evening of May 22 to May 23 Price dropped about 10% during the event
April 25, 2026 Sea Lake Manor March 13 announcement, April 10 snapshot Rose from about $2.7 to about $4.4, a 49.65% increase Event day April 25 Price dropped over 11% that day, down to $2.51
Data source: public reports and market records. Price standards may vary due to exchange, spot/perpetual differences. The comparison below is based on a unified "shorting window" rather than precise daily closing prices.
May 2025 Dinner: Purely "selling the fact"
- Shorting window ranking
1. Evening of May 22 to May 23 (optimal): Price already turned down during the event, representing the final confirmation point; about 10% drop during the dinner
2. May 24 to May 27: Continued decline, suitable for light follow-up positions, not the best odds
3. After May 12 snapshot: Not a good window because whales still hold positions and the event narrative has not yet been fulfilled
- Key observation: On the dinner day, the price peaked near $16 but fell back to $14 before the event officially started, indicating buying ended early. For shorts, entering near $16 was a mistake; breaking $14 confirmed entry.
Conclusion: The winning window for this event is after 17:00 on May 22 to May 23, short at event start, add positions the next day.
April 2026 Sea Lake Manor: Whales ran early, event day confirmation
This pattern is more important:
- Price surged nearly 50% in one day after March 13 announcement, peaking around $3.77
- Rose from about $2.7 to about $4.4, a cumulative increase of about 49.65%
- Snapshot was April 10, but no immediate crash after snapshot; the drop only happened when the event landed
- On April 25 event day, price dropped over 11%, once down to $2.51; about 40% of the top 20 wallets cleared positions around the event
- About $46 million tokens transferred to exchanges in the prior three weeks, representing early distribution, but real acceleration was on event day
Shorting window ranking:
1. Event day April 25 (optimal): over 11% drop, most efficient that day
2. April 24 to April 25: Short early after seeing on-chain signals of whales clearing and team transfers to exchanges; best odds but high risk
3. Evening April 25 to April 26: Continue short after rebound fails, suitable for reducing leverage and following
4. After April 10 snapshot: Possible but not the best of the two times, as support demand still exists
Mapping to November 22, 2026 Dinner
You are now facing the third event, with changed rules: VIPs with balances below the November 12 snapshot will lose rights. This forces some of the top 29 to stay in, delaying selling pressure compared to the first two events.
Based on the timing structure of the first two events:
- Snapshot just ended at 02:00 on November 12 (Beijing time): possible to try shorting, but not optimal
- November 12 to November 14: Observe wallet reductions, transfers to exchanges, and exchange balance increases; short after seeing data is more reliable than blind shorting
- Daytime November 22 to November 23 (preferred): corresponds to the "event landing and immediate sell-off" point of the first two events
- Sharp drop before November 22: represents expectation overreach; should not chase shorts then, as it risks catching the knife
- If no obvious drop by November 20, it means support or new narratives remain; shorts should reduce positions or stop loss
Final strategy judgment
- Highest historical win rate: event day and 24 hours after
- Best odds: 24 hours before event, combined with on-chain transfer signals
- Least suitable: heavy shorting immediately after snapshot; the first two events did not see the biggest drops then
- Additional variable this time: about 28.7 million tokens unlocked on November 18, and top 29 constrained by snapshot positions, possibly causing more dispersed and prolonged selling pressure than 2025
In short: The best time to place main short positions this round is from daytime November 22 to November 23; after the November 12 snapshot, only observe and try small positions; whether shorts truly hold depends on exchange inflows and whale balances, not just dates.This time, it’s not the stock market falling by 5%, but the 10-year US Treasury yield crossing the 5% threshold again. It acts as the "pricing anchor" for global assets; once it stabilizes, funds will withdraw from stocks, gold, and commodities, flowing into more certain US dollar assets, causing market volatility to increase significantly. The reasons behind this are not complicated: US inflation has fallen less than expected, delaying the pace of rate cuts; meanwhile, the large supply of US TrI want to share with everyone a few ways to look at market trends.
【1. One big bullish candlestick doesn’t mean an uptrend.】
If it rises for one day, I’m not in a hurry to call a reversal. What I’m watching for is whether it can continue to strengthen afterward.
【2. A rebound after a crash doesn’t mean the correction is over.】
I reviewed the recent 7 historical samples where the Nasdaq 100 index dropped more than 5% in a single day and had a complete three-month outcome. Only 3 times did it rebound the next trading day. By the 5th trading day, 4 times it was still below the closing price on the crash day.
This time, on November 5th it dropped 6.36%, and on November 6th it rebounded 1.35%. A rebound the day after a drop can happen, but it can also fall back again after a few days. Be prepared for both scenarios.
【3. Over a longer time frame, the outcome might be different.】
Still looking at these 7 cases, 6 of them closed higher after three months. Compared to the closing price on the crash day, the 7 samples averaged about a 12.8% increase.
My view is simple: find good targets for dollar-cost averaging, maintain patience and discipline, and that’s the most important way to stay in the game.🚨 November's L1 competition is shifting from slogans to real usage and security verification. Three pieces of news put together, worth thinking about where funds are focusing. ① ETH: Ethereum Foundation disclosed Nov 6, Glamsterdam test found some contracts may be affected by EIP-8037, 8038, developers decided to postpone Hoodi hard fork, first check compatibility. This is risk control at test stage, not mainnet failure. Short-term beware upgrade expectation failing, later watch audit fixes, teMy two short positions are still floating in profit, but I'm actually hoping the market takes a hit first 😮
In 24 hours, the whole network exploded with 61.38 million, longs accounted for 69.5%, and 47,579 people were eliminated. But in 1 hour, it reversed; shorts were lifted by 5.11 million, more than twice the other side.
ZEC is the most typical case: in 1 hour, shorts lost 358,500, longs only lost 33,500, more than ten times difference, and open interest even increased by 1.62%. The more the cuts, the more people take over. BTC and ETH are the same, with more shorts in 1 hour, only SOL is the opposite 😅
I'm not afraid of the hit, I'm afraid no one takes the hit. Bulls don't give up, bears don't concede, positions just keep draining like this, no one can calm down.
After the explosion, the market calms down, then I dare to think about the next step.📊 Market Insight: Capital Is Playing Defense, Not Chasing Direction.

#USJobsBeatExpectations A French bank was robbed of more than $133 million, and in the end, it wasn't the police or the bank's risk control that uncovered it, but a person monitoring addresses on the blockchain. Crédit Mutuel Arkéa confirmed to CoinDesk that fraudulent transactions occurred but refused to disclose the exact amount, only emphasizing that customer funds were not affected. Lawyer Renato Mariotti named ZachXBT as the person of the week, citing that the clues were traced by him.
The wording of the statement is worth close attention. They admit fraud but don't say how much, and first assure that customers are safe — the order itself is the answer: the stolen money was on the bank's balance sheet, not the depositors' funds. Depositors' money is backed by reserves, but the bank's own money is not.
The real highlight is the investigation path. Traditional financial theft cases rely on internal audits, judicial assistance, and cross-border evidence collection, with timelines measured in months. This time, the clues came from on-chain traces: addresses, transactions, timelines, all publicly verifiable and immutable. An independent investigator can get ahead of institutions because they don't need permissions, only patience.
The market impact is indirect and won't change the short-term direction of $BTC or $ETH. But the signal is becoming clearer: on-chain transparency is shifting from a privacy flaw to a foundation for accountability. $SOL, with its high-frequency ecosystem, has the most transaction counts and the densest traces.375 days — BTC mining difficulty this time "can't break the peak," longer than about 364 days after the 2011 crash, and also longer than about 253 days after China's mining ban in 2021.
The peak is about 155.97T, occurring on October 29, 2025, around block 921,312. Every adjustment since then has been below the peak. The mid-year low is about 124.93T, roughly 20% below the peak; after two increases in October, it is about 148.36T, still about 4.9% below the peak.
Bitcoin.com News roughly verified this record against Mempool.space around November 7. The next adjustment is expected around November 13, with Mempool.space currently estimating a further drop of about 5.2% — the estimate fluctuates with block production and is not final; if the trend holds, the peak break will be pushed further back.
Why it matters: Difficulty below the peak does not mean the network security has collapsed; block production still follows the roughly ten-minute target; it more reflects miners' margins and hashrate reallocation, not that the coin price will crash or that miners have been wiped out.
Confidence: Medium-high | Mempool.space difficulty history, media double-checked. What do you think — is this long delay more like miners enduring a cycle, or is the hashrate being diverted? $BTC The overnight market can be the most misleading. Bitcoin is hovering around $75,900, with almost no price movement and noticeably weaker trading activity. Liquidity is thin, and sudden price spikes can trigger stop-loss cascades even when overall market participation is low. The 1-hour volume has dropped sharply from around 299 to just a handful of trades. For now, neither buyers nor sellers seem willing to make a decisive move. My strategy tonight: • Avoid opening fresh positions in low-liquidiNovember 9
$SNDK has a long-short ratio of 9.15, but the funding rate is 0. I don't like this combination.
The price dropped from 1100 to 834, RSI is 24.7, technically indeed oversold. But 90% of accounts are long, with a long-short ratio of 9.15—after a 24% drop, the bulls not only haven't fled, they are crowding together.
The funding rate is even more subtle: previously the bulls were paying (+0.054%), now it’s zero. It’s not balanced; the bulls can’t afford to pay anymore, but they still hold their positions. The basis is -0.073%, contracts are cheaper than spot, bulls hold positions but the market offers no premium.
Downside: if 797.97 breaks, 90% of longs will be forced to liquidate, and with such thin liquidity, the stampede won’t have a decent exit price.
Upside: if 855.98 recovers with volume, the short covering at 9.15 ratio will be ready fuel.
The news-driven 24% drop has been largely priced in, but before the 1:8 stock split on November 20, liquidity structure will change, and many haven’t entered positions yet.
My view: now is neither a position to chase shorts nor to bottom-fish. Oversold only means the odds of going down have worsened, not that the direction has reversed. Wait for 855.98 to recover before considering longs, or wait for a secondary clearance after breaking 797.97—between these points, watch more and act less. #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% #美光加码AI存储，十年研发投入100亿美元 Ethereum 2236, down 0.42%, weaker than Bitcoin. Here are three points for you, read them and then sleep:
1. The 2222 level has been tested twice today and bounced back both times, but the bounce height is getting lower each time, which is called a weak rebound.
2. If it breaks below 2210, no need to discuss, just exit, don’t try to guess the bottom.
3. If you want to bottom-fish, wait until 2232 holds firmly, don’t catch blindly at 2236.
Bitcoin 75900 remains steady, Ethereum is dropping on its own, this kind of divergence is usually not a good sign.
#ETH #BTCLooking at my $ZEC short position showing 1184% ROI, then checking the chart, I can see why the bulls are struggling. ZEC dropped sharply from 1388 to 1235 and is now hovering around 1264. The recovery still looks weak. On the 15-minute chart, MA5, MA10, and MA20 are tangled around 1260, showing no clear direction. MACD has produced a weak golden cross below the zero line. The histogram bars are barely visible at 0.49, suggesting that bullish momentum remains limited. For now, this looks more liConclusion first: On 11-07 at noon, I posted about $ONE, saying it was +61.2% in 24 hours, ending with the question "With this depth, would you chase?" Today's answer: those who chased above 0.0019 are currently at a floating loss of 8%~29%.
1. This is not consensus pricing. The 1H candle at 00:00 on 11-08 touched 0.0024798 as the peak, current price is 0.00176, down 29.1%. Three-day trading volumes were 45.59 million, 129 million, and 75.33 million USD, peak open interest was 3.548 million, now 2.552 million, down 28%. 24-hour trading volume is 99.95 million against open interest of 2.55 million, a 39x turnover.
2. No one is taking the bids. Perpetual contract volume is 99.95 million, spot ONE-USDT only 5.3 million, a difference of 18.8 times. The order book shows twenty levels with bids at 60 and asks at 64 USD; when I posted on 11-07, it was 5100 bids and 2500 asks.
3. Funding rate turned negative. At noon on 11-08, it was still at the floor price +0.00005, then turned negative for three consecutive periods: -0.0511%, -0.3096%, -0.2478%, meaning shorts are paying longs. Those chasing longs weren't killed by shorts, they just didn't wait for the second bullish candle.
Lesson: With 39x turnover and structural reversal, first ask "Who is setting this price?" 7 days +52.2% paired with the same day -23.1%, this is not a trend, it's a meat grinder.
When you chase, do you look at the gains or the depth? #软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？ SoftBank's Q2 financial report numbers are highly likely to be "impressive" (with an outperformance probability of about 60%-65%), but this is purely "accounting fluff."
The profit relies entirely on the paper revaluation gains from OpenAI's valuation rising from 852 billion to 1.25 trillion USD. But behind the impressive numbers lie three thorns:
1. Market disbelief: Analyst consensus actually expects a slight loss; no one treats this one-time unrealized gain as real profit.
2. Debt drain: Issued $11 billion in high-yield bonds (coupon 9.75%), doubling financing costs; CDS has surged to a two-year high.
3. Doubtful momentum: OpenAI's target fundraising amount has shrunk, valuation expansion slope has slowed, leaving less room for the next revaluation.
The better the income statement looks, the louder the alarms on the balance sheet; leverage levels and cash flow gaps are the real lifelines of this financial report. $OPENAI XPL's "most fatal flaw is that the long position ratio is as high as 71%," this extremely crowded chip structure means that above are all retail leveraged traders who are trapped and holding on desperately. The main force "is very likely to pierce down through the bottom edge of the box again, using a panic-driven volume surge to thoroughly cleanse this batch of bloodied leverage." In other words, from the flash crash on November 1 to November 8, although XPL has experienced a significant decline, the long positions have not been effectively cleared. The market structure remains a "powder keg" that could ignite at any time. Under this structure, the decline itself becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: as long as there is a small downward pulse in price, it will trigger a batch of forced liquidations of highly leveraged longs; the sell orders generated by forced liquidations further depress the price, triggering the next batch of forced liquidations. The decline "an hour ago" is very likely another routine outbreak of this mechanism under the 71% long position ratio, not necessarily requiring a new external catalyst. Macro background: The liquidity vacuum in altcoins continues. This short-term decline cannot be separated from the higher-level macro background. As of November 8, Bitcoin's price remains suppressed below $76,000, and the entire crypto market is heading toward its fifth consecutive week of decline, with major altcoins generally recording double-digit drops over the past seven days. Market sentiment on November 8 remains in the "fear" zone (Fear and Greed Index at 28), and the previous sell-off of AI tech stocks has not eased risk appetite suppression. In this environment, mid-to-small cap tokens like XPL, with a market cap of only about $272 million and a daily trading volume of about $27 million,Rocket Lab Q3 Earnings Preview: I Choose Yes!
After the U.S. market closes on November 9, $RKLB will release its Q3 earnings report. Although currently 74% of people choose No, I am more optimistic about revenue exceeding expectations.
The reasons are clear:
① Increased launch frequency. In Q3, Electron completed 6 launches, higher than Q2's 4 launches, supporting growth in launch service revenue.
② Strong order backlog. At the end of Q2, the backlog reached $2.36 billion, a 137% year-over-year increase, providing a solid foundation for continued deliveries in the aerospace systems business.
③ Modest revenue expectations. The market consensus is about $257 million, with the company's guidance ceiling at $265 million. I believe actual revenue has a chance to exceed $260 million.
The Neutron delay is indeed a negative factor but has limited impact on this quarter's revenue.

This weekend, BTC fluctuated repeatedly around $75,000, with no panic selling and no strong rebound. On the surface, it looks calm, but the capital data is not reassuring.
📉 On November 6, BTC spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about $411.9 million, ETH ETFs had a net outflow of about $93.3 million; BTC ETFs had a cumulative net outflow of about $1.282 billion last week. The total stablecoin market cap dropped about 2.23% over the week, indicating that the on-chain USD liquidity pool is also contracting.
🧩 Another detail: BTC contract open interest decreased over the weekend. The price did not drop significantly, possibly because previous long positions were cleared and some shorts started taking profits, leading to a temporary balance between buyers and sellers. But this is only a possible explanation and does not confirm a bottom.
🧭 Next, I will monitor spot trading volume, ETF capital flows, and contract open interest changes. Only if spot volume increases with price rises and ETFs show continuous inflows will there be more reason to be optimistic about the rebound's sustainability. Do you think the short side is weakening now, or have the bulls not truly returned yet? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #RocketLab financial report ahead: How is the progress of the Neutron rocket? 🔥In the current market, the most important thing is not to rush to bottom-fish, but to distinguish clearly between price stabilization and capital inflow!
Over the weekend, BTC fluctuated around $75,000 without continuous panic selling, but the capital side remains weak. On November 6, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $411.9 million, and the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $93.3 million; last week, BTC ETFs had a cumulative net outflow of about $1.282 billion, and the total stablecoin market cap dropped about 2.23% in one week.
⚠️ Taken together, these signals indicate that institutional and on-chain funds have not yet shown strong offensive intentions. The decline in contract open interest may also mean that leveraged funds are withdrawing, and the market is entering a brief cooling-off period.
📊 But I will not directly turn bearish because of this. The price has not continued to drop sharply, which may mean selling pressure has eased or that bulls and bears are temporarily balanced. The real direction still needs to be confirmed by subsequent trading volume and capital flow.
🛡️ Today, first check your BTC-related positions: whether your total position is too heavy, whether stop-losses are set in advance, and whether single-trade losses are within your tolerance. Without confirmation of capital inflow, don’t rush to add leverage. Are you choosing to stay out and wait now, or keep a small position to observe? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Conclusion: Leaning Yes, confidence moderate.
Earnings report time: After market close on November 12 Eastern Time (early morning November 13 Beijing Time)
Reasons supporting an upside surprise:
1. Full-year guidance pressure — The company reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $3.0–3.4 billion. The first three quarters met expectations at only $1.887 billion; if Q3 is just $906 million, the full-year baseline depends entirely on a Q4 surge. Management has motivation to push volume.
2. Physical basis for capacity — Contracted power target raised from 4GW to 5GW, indicating deliverable computing power is increasing.
3. High contract quality — Q2 signed order value quadrupled quarter-over-quarter, new customer contracts increased more than ninefold quarter-over-quarter, 70% include customer prepayments covering 50–60% of capital expenditures. This is not just empty promises.
4. Improved pricing power — Rates for older generation GPUs are also rising, capital expenditure payback period shortened from 2–3 years to 1 year 10 months.
5. Low policy exposure — Projects located in Missouri, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, avoiding data center areas 🔥Don't be fooled by the appearance that BTC didn't continue to plunge over the weekend! Price stabilization and capital inflow are two completely different things.
💸On November 6, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $411.9 million, and the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $93.3 million. Looking at the entire period from November 2 to 6, BTC ETFs had a cumulative net outflow of about $1.282 billion, with only Wednesday showing a net inflow in five trading days. Meanwhile, the total market cap of stablecoins dropped about 2.23% over the week, so the capital environment cannot be considered loose for now.
📊BTC is fluctuating around $75,000, with trading volume below recent normal levels, and contract open interest has also declined. This may indicate that some leveraged positions are exiting, and the bulls and bears are temporarily balanced, but this does not mean the main players have started bottom-fishing.
⚠️I prefer to wait for three signals: spot volume expansion, continuous net inflows in ETFs, and ETH and major altcoins strengthening simultaneously during the upward movement. Without these combined, don't rush to treat a short-term rebound as a trend reversal. Today, are you more focused on whether the price has stopped falling or whether off-exchange funds have truly returned? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 🔥BTC did not crash over the weekend, nor did it rally strongly, but this is not necessarily good news! What is truly worth watching out for is that while the price has temporarily stabilized, off-exchange funds have not yet shown a clear return.
📉 First, let's look at the fund data: On November 6, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $411.9 million, and the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $93.3 million; from November 2 to 6, the BTC ETF experienced a cumulative net outflow of about $1.282 billion over five trading days. The total market cap of stablecoins dropped about 2.23% over the week, also reflecting a contraction in the on-chain USD liquidity pool.
⚠️ Next, looking at the market structure, BTC oscillated around $75,000 over the weekend with low trading volume, and contract open interest also declined. My understanding is that this currently looks more like a temporary balance after funds have reduced risk, rather than the start of a new round of bottom-fishing.
🧭 Going forward, the key points to watch are whether spot trading volume can recover, whether ETFs will continuously turn to net inflows, and whether there is real buying support during BTC’s rebound. Price not falling does not mean funds have entered the market. Do you think the market is building a bottom, or are funds still waiting for a lower level? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #RocketLab财报前瞻：Neutron火箭进展如何？ Despite setbacks in the Neutron narrative, this Q3 earnings report is unlikely to look bad, with clear revenue support:
· Revenue and guidance: Wall Street expects revenue of about $257 million (up 66% year-over-year), company guidance range is $250-265 million, median $257.5 million, basically matching.
· Launch business: Q3 Electron completed 6 orbital launches (4 in Q2), launch revenue is expected to increase from $44.6 million to about $59.8 million.
· Space Systems: Q2 revenue already reached $189.5 million, combined with a full quarter contribution from Mynaric and Motiv acquisitions, expected to exceed $200 million, the current main driver of revenue growth.
· Backlog: At the end of Q2 reached $2.36 billion (up 137% year-over-year), about 45% of which is expected to be recognized in the next 12 months, providing strong short-term visibility.
The real concern lies in profit quality: the company's Q3 GAAP gross margin guidance is 29%-31%, significantly down from 36.1% in Q2; adjusted EBITDA is expected to show a loss of $17 million to $23 million. Although revenue growth is fast, profitability improvement has not kept pace. #RocketLab财报前瞻：Neutron火箭进展如何？ Despite setbacks in the Neutron narrative, this Q3 earnings report is unlikely to look bad, with clear revenue support:

Although revenue growth is fast, profitability improvement has not kept pace. Maji just cashed out BAYC, then immediately pushed his chips onto the ETH long table. Over the past five days, he sold 15 NFTs, losing about $505,000, only cashing out $223,000; yesterday he sold another BAYC for 12.5 ETH (about $28,000). The funds recovered did not exit the market but were instead used to increase a 25x leveraged long position.
Current bet:
· Long position size: 540 ETH
· Leverage: 25x
· Entry price: $2304.23
· Liquidation price: $2203.40
· Current unrealized loss: about $32,000
The signals on the other side are not friendly: BTC and ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow of over $1.6 billion in a single week, institutions are withdrawing, but Maji is holding on. Faith and leverage stacked together mean the buffer before the liquidation line is thin.
Will ETH save him this time? Or will the next bearish candle answer for the market.The market is heavily leaning bearish, but I don't think the bullish scenario should be ignored. According to Hyperliquid positioning data, whale BTC shorts have reached their highest level since October 2025, with net short exposure nearly twice the size of longs. Meanwhile, ETF outflows and macroeconomic uncertainty continue to weigh on sentiment. However, crowded bearish expectations can create opportunities if price refuses to break lower. Key BTC levels: • $75K – First important support. • #软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？
SoftBank's net profit for the quarter was ¥347.3 billion, far exceeding Bloomberg's consensus analyst forecast of ¥166 billion, and the 18% year-on-year decline was also better than market concerns.
The profit driver was Intel, not OpenAI. SoftBank's Intel shares surged 216% that quarter, contributing about ¥1.3 trillion in one-time revaluation gains. OpenAI's valuation remained flat compared to the end of the previous quarter, with no revaluation, contributing zero to SoftBank's investment gains or losses. In the previous quarter, OpenAI contributed about $25 billion in valuation gains, but this quarter the core engine directly "shut down." Dragged down by this, the Vision Fund's pre-tax profit was only ¥5.427 billion, a year-on-year plunge of 98.8%.
SoftBank has cumulatively invested $44.6 billion in OpenAI, with a fair value of $89.6 billion, nearly doubling the book profit, but this is a cumulative figure, not a new contribution for the quarter. SoftBank has committed to a final investment of about $64.6 billion, holding about 13%, with part of the funds coming from a $40 billion bridge loan, even pledging Arm shares. Betting on unrealized AI valuations with certain assets is a more worrisome signal behind the financial report.
When OpenAI's valuation stalls, SoftBank's profit engine slows down accordingly—this is a direct reflection that the "heavy bet" has yet to translate into sustainable profitability.
$OPENAI $AI $AKE At the 0 o'clock settlement, $ZEC longs paid shorts 0.0936%. Seeing this number and shouting that longs control the market makes me want to laugh a bit.
Those willing to pay to hold positions, frankly, it just means there were many crowded on the long side at that time and they were anxious. But once the settlement passed, the lowest price could still be seen at 1235; yesterday the price was still fluctuating around 1310–1330. If there was really that much driving force, would the price drop right after paying the fee?
High fees only indicate that longs were very crowded at that time, not the direction. The money that needed to be paid was paid, but the price was still not pushed up. Positions first paid the cost.
As for what happens next, this number itself doesn't give me an answer.🔥For BTC to sustain its rebound, relying solely on short covering might not be enough! In October, the US added 165,000 nonfarm jobs, significantly exceeding expectations, with the unemployment rate falling to 4.1% and wage growth also surpassing forecasts. The more resilient the employment, the less pressure the Fed has to cut rates quickly, which has intensified bets on a rate hike in December.
💵The rise in the US dollar and Treasury yields increases the opportunity cost of risk assets; when Treasury yields become more attractive, some funds may choose to wait and watch rather than chase BTC. Coupled with weak flows into spot ETFs, for the market to form a sustained uptrend, it needs stronger spot buying to take over.
⚠️But don’t equate macro headwinds directly with price drops; the market may price in these factors early or readjust expectations after the CPI release. Watching the market today, the key is to observe whether BTC’s rebound is supported by volume and spot demand, rather than just short-term price spikes. If only contracts are driving the move and spot lags, the sustainability of the rebound is questionable. Remember, funding rates and liquidation data can only assist judgment, not replace spot trends. Do you think BTC’s next move is more constrained by a lack of buying or by macro positives? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 165K jobs are not the whole story; revised numbers are also changing expectations
Don't just focus on the addition of 165,000 people; the data for the previous two months was revised upward by a total of 84,000, which will also affect market judgment.
Looking at $BTC: current price about $75,810, down 0.25% intraday. OI 24h +2.0%, fee rate +0.0072%/8h (CoinGecko perpetual summary), contract participation is rising, but the fee rate is mildly positive, indicating bulls are present but it’s not yet extremely crowded.
Using $SOL as a reference, price about $89.14, down 1.11% in 24 hours; OI 24h -4.8%, fee rate +0.0062%/8h (CoinGecko perpetual summary). Price and open interest are falling together, risk appetite is contracting, and spot follow-through still needs observation.
BTC’s OI is increasing while SOL’s OI is shrinking; capital’s reaction to macro news is inconsistent.
If employment continues to be resilient, interest rate expectations may be harder to ease; are you more concerned about new jobs or historical revisions?
#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% #BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 #软银重金押注OpenAI，Q2财报能否交出亮眼成绩？ SoftBank's heavy investment in OpenAI results in a strong Q2 financial report only due to valuation gains on paper, not actual realized profits. The performance heavily depends on OpenAI's valuation changes, representing a high-leverage AI bet that looks good short-term but carries significant long-term uncertainty.
Positive: The rise in OpenAI's valuation brings substantial fair value gains, boosting SoftBank's net assets and book profits, which is the core support for this quarter's results; SoftBank uses this to anchor itself in the general AI track and to build out the computing power ecosystem story.
Risks: The gains are unrealized and lack cash flow; OpenAI itself continues to incur large losses and has yet to prove its commercialization; SoftBank keeps selling assets and increasing leverage to fulfill funding commitments, with investment concentration too high. If AI valuations correct downward, the financial report will quickly come under pressure, risking a repeat of past investment pitfalls.Big brother, this position clearly shows a large capital move. The total scale of perpetual contracts is about 600 million USD, with $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL all shorted simultaneously, using 5 to 7 times leverage on the full position. The opening positions are generally high, and currently, the combined floating profit of the three short orders is close to ten million USD, with funding fees still continuously flowing in. Looking at the leverage alone, it’s not aggressive; the liquidation price is far from the current price, clearly indicating a long-term short squeeze strategy to earn fees and add positions on pullbacks.
But what really needs attention is not the floating profit, but the volume. Such a large short position concentrated on three mainstream assets means that once the market shows a strong rebound, large holders are very likely to actively take profits and close positions. The massive short covering will create a push similar to "short fuel," potentially triggering long liquidations and a follow-up rally. Don’t treat large capital directions as ironclad rules; oscillating rebounds can disrupt the rhythm at any time. #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Weekly Review｜ETF Funds, Leverage, and Price: Which Signals Are Truly Useful?
This week, BTC first surged to about 81,000, then sharply dropped to about 75,000 on Thursday, and afterward traded sideways around 76,000.
📌 Cause and Effect Ranking
On Thursday, the entire network liquidated about $1.25 billion, nearly 90% of which were long positions (CoinGlass rolling 24h), acting more like an amplifier of the decline rather than the cause. Spot ETFs had a net outflow of about $1.28 billion over 5 trading days this week, with inflows only on Wednesday, indicating a weak capital flow, but the flow data is delayed and price and flow influence each other.
✅ Useful Signals
1. Whether ETFs have continuous outflows and if the price can hold during outflows
2. Whether leverage is truly cleared after liquidations or quickly added back
3. The Fear and Greed Index at 28 only indicates a cold sentiment and cannot be used alone as a bottoming signal
🔭 Next Week's Watch
The US October CPI is scheduled for release on 11/10 (Tuesday) at 8:30 AM Eastern Time.
· If ETFs turn to inflows and the price holds above 78,000, the rebound may continue
· If outflows persist and the price breaks this week's low, leverage may be liquidated again
This is only a personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice $BTC #BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 Last Wednesday afternoon, the number of $USELESS token holders suddenly surged by 40%, but the average holding per address dropped from 1,200 tokens to 380 tokens, a typical "breaking up chips and distributing to retail investors" pattern. Short 10x at 0.1369, exit at 0.12847, 61.57% profit.
A surge in address count combined with a sharp drop in average holdings is a textbook distribution signal, but Meme coins can also "fake distribution and then pump" to shake out shorts.
The break-even line is firmly welded, the mark price is not the transaction price, and slippage will bite. Withdrawal capital is firmly welded to stop losses on the move. If you missed it, wait for the next structural cycle. $BTC $ETH Price and Market Overview
As of early November 2026, SOL is in a clear correction cycle, showing pressure in performance:
· Price Level: Recently fluctuating between $89 - $95, down nearly 47% from the 52-week high of about $172; the decline in just the past month ranges from 13% to 19%.
· Market Cap and Staking: Total market capitalization is approximately $53 - $56 billion. Although the annualized staking yield is about 5.23%, 4.82 million SOL have been unstaked in the past month, indicating some holders are exiting.
· Capital Outflow: The stablecoin supply on the network decreased by $1.6 billion during the same period, reflecting a decline in capital activity within the ecosystem.
Despite the weak coin price, the Solana network completed its most significant technical upgrade in history in October 2026:
· Alpenglow Consensus Launch: Activated on the mainnet on October 21, this was the first full consensus mechanism replacement, compressing transaction finalization time from about 12.8 seconds down to 150-196 milliseconds.
· Block Time Halved: On October 9, through an upgrade, the target slot time was shortened from 400 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds, further enhancing network throughput.
· Performance Positioning: This upgrade makes Solana highly competitive in real-time financial scenarios such as high-frequency trading, stablecoin payments, and RWA (Real World Assets). Capital flow in one sentence: $BTC withstood a $416 million ETF outflow, holding price near 75,784, with resilience driven by capital flow dependence rather than a rebound in risk appetite.
Even though market discussions are dominated by $BTC ETF outflows as high as $416 million, $BTC still maintains around $75,784. This resilience is noteworthy, indicating that despite selling pressure, the price has not significantly broken down. However, it should be clear that current support depends more on whether capital flow remains stable rather than broad risk appetite driving it. In other words, the market relies on capital support, not a recovery in sentiment. If outflows accelerate again, this assessment will be challenged. This is not financial advice. $BTC
#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温
#BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 Negative factors dulling, not equal to bottom confirmation
Bitcoin is reported at $75,799, Ethereum at $2,234.69, both slightly down intraday but hugging the lower edge of the near one-week range: BTC is at the 14.4% percentile, ETH only 11.7%. Over the past three days, both have dropped 5.93% and 7.95% respectively, with the seven-day decline narrowing to 2.51% and 1.27%. The sideways movement after continuous pullbacks looks more like a pause in selling pressure rather than a signal of stabilization.
Notably, negative factors are not few: continuous outflows from ETFs, stolen funds from Binance being moved, changes in US regulatory expectations, and bearish community discussions, yet prices hardly dip further. Behind this is the fact that leveraged funds have been cleared in advance—open interest decreased by 1.42% in 24 hours, liquidations around $60 million, down 70% from the previous day; funding rates are positive but only 0.0087% for BTC and 0.0061% for ETH, bulls dare not rush ahead, bears have no intention to aggressively attack. The long-short ratio is 58 to 42, and the fear and greed index is 26, all pointing to low-level wait-and-see.
Therefore, the current market is not "all negative factors exhausted," but rather "negative factors dulling." Reduced floating positions lower the momentum for further sharp declines, but the lack of incremental buying makes rebounds difficult to proceed smoothly. In the short term, it is more likely to maintain weak oscillation, waiting for new directions from funding or regulatory aspects. It is too early to treat the sideways movement as a bottom. #RocketLab财报前瞻：Neutron火箭进展如何？ Neutron is the core of Rocket Lab's mid-to-long-term valuation and also the biggest highlight of this earnings report. The project has been postponed again to its maiden flight in 2027, with the main bottleneck focused on manufacturing defects in the first stage carbon fiber tank; progress on the engine, fairing, and second stage subsystems is relatively smooth, but the tank issue will extend the overall testing cycle, increase R&D expenses, and delay the realization of medium-sized reusable launch revenue. Market expectations have already been lowered, but management's statements during the call regarding the tank process rectification, testing plans, and cash burn pace remain key variables for short-term stock price fluctuations. #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温
The US added 165,000 non-farm jobs in October, far exceeding the expected 65,000, and the market's bet on a Fed rate hike in December has risen to 78%.
The previously anticipated easing trades are facing repricing, and beyond macro pressures, institutional funds are also withdrawing. Last week, US spot BTC saw the largest weekly outflow since the end of June.
This means BTC is currently facing not only interest rate pressure but also a shortage of incremental funds. Short-term rebounds can come from short covering, but to form a trend reversal, spot buying and ETF funds need to re-enter.
