$SNDK 🫀 Regarding SanDisk's stock split, I don't think there's a need to be too anxious.
A stock split basically just lowers the unit price, adjusts the holding quantity proportionally, and the total value doesn't disappear out of thin air. After the price drops, the participation threshold is lower, and liquidity might improve.
But what you really should focus on isn't the stock split, but the position size.
SanDisk has dropped from around 1900 to about 800, a nearly 58% decline, with heavy trapped positions above. Currently, long accounts consistently make up about 86%-90%, and the long-short ratio can even reach 6.5-9 times.
So I've been wondering, is 800 really the bottom?
If I were the main force, with so many trapped positions above and a bunch of leveraged longs below, why would I rush to push it up?
I'd first shake out the unsteady longs, accumulate chips at the bottom, then use the low price and liquidity after the stock split to push it up more easily.
Of course, it might also complete the stock split smoothly without scaring itself.
The stock split isn't scary; what you really need to guard against is that 800 might not be the bottom.
With heavy trapped positions above and an imbalanced long-short ratio, without major positive news, a quick V-shaped recovery is difficult in the short term. It looks more like a downward choppy grind, slowly finding the bottom.
For longs that are trapped, I tend to do T trading to reduce cost; stubbornly holding to break even costs too much time.
For now, I see the bottom area around 550-720.
If it can't hold near 750, then this area will likely be tested.
Long term, I still am optimistic about SanDisk, but being optimistic long term and bearish short term are not contradictory.
The worst is using long-term logic to justify short-term trapped positions.
$BTC
Just my personal humble opinion, feel free to chat.Five Heavy Mountains Pressing Down on Bitcoin
These five mountains are not short-term news disturbances; they are structural bearish factors that accumulate and resonate with each other, making them difficult to resolve all at once in the short term. This is the core logic behind the current pressure on BTC's trend:
First Mountain: Irreversible theft, lost assets cannot be recovered
Once a Bitcoin transaction is confirmed on-chain, it cannot be rolled back. Major theft cases on leading platforms have proven that even the industry benchmark BTC, after being hacked, has a large amount of assets that are difficult to freeze, trace, or recover.
Hackers' chips cost almost nothing; as long as the market rebounds, they will gradually liquidate, creating a long-term selling pressure ceiling hanging over the market.
This breaks investors' most basic expectation: even Bitcoin held on top custodial platforms cannot guarantee asset safety, and there is no safety net after incidents occur. This is not a problem with the mainnet's computing power but a permanent pain point caused by the custody system combined with the irreversible transaction mechanism.
Second Mountain: Continuous selling by large institutions, main buyer camp turns into sellers
In the last bull market, institutions, corporate treasuries, and spot ETFs were the core bullish forces.
Now the situation has completely reversed: ETFs continue to have large net redemptions, which must be passively sold into the spot market; benchmark companies and leading funds are gradually reducing or even liquidating their holdings.
Previously, institutions bought on dips and held long-term; now risk controls have tightened, prioritizing reducing crypto asset exposure.
The largest batch of bottom-supporting funds have exited, the main pool of buyers has disappeared, and the market lacks counterparties to absorb large sell orders.
Third Mountain: Large capital short-selling forces continuously suppress the market
Short positions in futures and options markets continue to increase, with professional funds continuously building short positions using multiple bearish logics.
Shorting in a bear market has natural advantages: liquidity thins, support levels weaken, and once selling pressure arrives, it easily triggers long stop losses and cascading liquidations, causing multiple long positions to be wiped out.
Rallies are often treated by short sellers as windows for secondary suppression, with rebound heights continuously capped, making it difficult to form a decent reversal.
Fourth Mountain: AI + quantum future cryptographic risks, valuation logic re-evaluated
Bitcoin’s underlying secp256k1 elliptic curve signature faces theoretical cracking risks against fault-tolerant quantum computers. AI accelerates the development of quantum algorithms and vulnerability detection, causing the market to price in this long-term risk in advance.
The risk cannot be cracked immediately today, but it raises the risk discount rate for holding BTC long-term: institutions no longer assign "digital gold" the same low-risk valuation.
Compared to new quantum-resistant public chains, Bitcoin’s outdated cryptographic system’s weaknesses are increasingly exposed, fracturing the foundation of its long-term narrative.
Fifth Mountain: Collapse of consensus confidence, failure of the digital gold narrative
Bitcoin’s core survival depends on consensus: decentralization, secure value preservation, digital gold.
A series of security thefts, institutional exits, and quantum risk discussions have gradually dismantled this belief.
Retail investors dare not hold large positions, whales continue withdrawing coins and exiting, and funds prioritize shifting to gold and U.S. Treasuries for safety.
Once consensus loosens, the biggest problem is not an immediate crash but the lack of incremental funds willing to enter and support the market. Without new faith capital, all rallies are just downward pauses.
The Core Destructive Force of the Five Mountains Resonating Together
One mountain alone, the market still has opportunities to digest and repair;
Five stacked together form a negative feedback loop:
Confidence collapses → capital withdraws → institutional selling → market weakens → shorts increase profits → security incidents and quantum risks are repriced by the market again, further damaging confidence.
They reinforce each other and do not exist in isolation.
Moreover, none of these five issues can be overturned by short-term positive news:
Stolen chips won’t disappear out of thin air, institutional risk controls won’t reverse overnight, quantum cryptographic risks won’t be quickly resolved, and market confidence recovery cycles are extremely long #إنفيديا aims to achieve a quarterly revenue record of $100 billion 【Breaking｜November 8 Reuters】
NVIDIA plans to invest several billion dollars to support the expansion of ASE's advanced CoWoS packaging capacity, a critical part of the Blackwell GPU unit, as packaging capacity shortage has become a new bottleneck in providing computing power.
Funding disputes: easing long-term delivery pressure, highlighting short-term computing power supply constraints, awaiting consumer price index and NVIDIA earnings reports.$BTC is sideways at 76,000, but the bulls are actually still holding on.
On the 4-hour chart, it dropped from 81,200, touched a low of 74,800, and is now stuck around 76,000, neither up nor down. On the surface, it looks like consolidation, but looking at the data, the fundamentals aren’t looking good.
The long-short ratio is 2.79, with 73.63% of accounts crowded on the long side. The funding rate is only +0.001%, almost at the zero line. To translate: there are many bulls, but the amount they’re willing to pay has dropped to the floor. If the trend were strengthening, the funding rate would rise along with the long-short ratio, creating positive feedback; since the funding rate isn’t rising, it means this wave of bulls is holding on, not attacking.
This combination has a classic name in the market: a breeding ground for a bull trap. When the bottom is truly being tested, the long-short ratio usually drops below 40%. Now, with over 73% crowding, it means those wanting to sell haven’t finished selling, and those wanting to hold are still holding.
The resistance above is first seen at 77,400 (50-EMA). If it can’t break above, there’s no talk of recovery. Below, around 73,300 is the lower Bollinger Band, which is the real battleground for the next round of bulls and bears.
In short: the sideways movement is not stabilization; it’s bulls paying to wait for direction. Let the bullets fly a little longer. #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #BTC高位回落，黄金联动受考验 The US dollar, oil prices, and crypto assets are separated by several transmission steps
Geopolitical events do not directly determine BTC price movements; the process involves oil prices, inflation expectations, the US dollar, and interest rates.
Using $BTC as a reference, the price is about $75,810, down 0.25% in 24 hours; OI up 2.0% in 24h, funding rate +0.0072%/8h (CoinGecko perpetual summary). Contract participation is rising, but the funding rate is mildly positive, indicating bulls are present but it’s not yet extremely crowded.
$XRP is about $1.16, down 0.13% in 24 hours; OI down 3.6% in 24h, funding rate +0.0054%/8h (CoinGecko perpetual summary). Price is nearly flat but positions are decreasing; the market is still adjusting direction, so a positive funding rate should not be interpreted as confirmed buying pressure.
BTC OI increased by 2%, XRP OI decreased by 3.6%; the position changes do not show a unified direction.
Breaking down the transmission chain is more reliable than making directional judgments just based on news. Which intermediate variable do you watch first?

SoftBank's Q2 earnings look impressive, with a net profit of 347.3 billion yen, more than double the market expectation of 166 billion. But looking closer, this money wasn't earned from AI. The real support came from a one-time revaluation gain of Intel's stake, about 1.3 trillion yen, which is non-recurring. The Vision Fund's pre-tax profit was only 5.4 billion yen, a year-on-year plunge of 98.8%.
The most watched OpenAI, SoftBank has cumulatively invested $44.6 billion, with a book value of 89.6 billion, showing a paper gain that looks doubled. But the problem is OpenAI's valuation didn't move this quarter, so profit contribution was zero. SoftBank promises to increase total investment to $64.6 billion, relying on bond issuance and pledging Arm shares for funding. CDS has already soared above 383 basis points; the market is really worried about whether SoftBank can afford to wait, not whether OpenAI is worth the money.
For the crypto circle, SoftBank is a thermometer of AI risk appetite. Its earnings quality thinning indicates the market is repricing "AI spending," and BTC follows risk appetite in the short term. BTC is now around $74,800–75,800, with resistance at 75,000 above and the next support reference at 73,000 below. ETH is near 2,220; first watch if 2,188–2,208 can hold, and if it can't break above 2,350, it will remain volatile Circle Q3 revenue exceeded expectations, USDC on-chain transaction volume increased by 49%, and the rebound in stablecoin capital activity provides sentiment support for payment narrative coins like BCH. However, the current market has not followed the rally. My judgment is weak consolidation, waiting for a breakout. BCH current price is 245.4, down 4.4% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of only 1.719 million, showing a significant shrinkage in volume; the 1-hour and 4-hour moving averages are both trending downward, having fallen 17.69% from the 4-hour high, but only 0.20% above the low. There is support around 243.23, but the top 10 bid-ask ratio is 0.38, indicating heavy selling pressure. The funding rate of -0.0143% shows shorts are paying, and sentiment is bearish. Strategically, if it rebounds near 251.6, a light short position can be tried with a stop loss at 256.8 and a target of 243.7; if it breaks below 242.6 with volume, follow the trend to short with a stop loss at 247.9 and a target of 236.5. Single position size should not exceed 5% of total capital.

$BCH #Moderna Q3 turned profitable, raising full-year revenue growth forecast
#Circle Q3 revenue exceeded expectations, USDC on-chain transaction volume increased by 49%
$BCH The first thing people who steal hundreds of millions do is not to run, but to convert altcoins into Bitcoin.
44 million $XRP were swapped for $BTC through THORChain, while 148 million remain untouched.
Do you think they are bullish on Bitcoin, or do they simply know that when things really go wrong, only Bitcoin is easy to liquidate?
Even more absurd is the coin mixing—they only mixed 88 coins, worth over six million dollars, less than 4% of 175 million, while the rest boldly lie on the chain.
The main BTC and $ETH remain completely still.As of 16:00 on November 7, a stolen fund outflow from Binance sent a clear signal: about 2,300 BTC, equivalent to approximately $175 million, has been transferred to a new address. But what’s more worth pondering is the subsequent move — swapping about 44 million XRP (around $51 million) for BTC via THORChain.
First, let's see what remains. The address still holds about 148 million XRP, valued at roughly $173 million, which could be swapped for another large sum at the same ratio.
Next, let's look at how the traces are handled. About 53 BTC, worth around $4 million, went into Wasabi-like CoinJoin mixing, totaling about 88 BTC, approximately $6.7 million, serving to sever on-chain associations.
This round of operations has three characteristics: cross-chain swaps without going through centralized exchange accounts; swapping for $BTC instead of stablecoins; the hacker’s main BTC and $ETH holdings remain untouched.
So this is not a liquidation but a structural portfolio swap. Converting well-divisible, liquid XRP into the most consensus-strong BTC is equivalent to concentrating assets in the direction easiest to offload.
One detail: the total mixed coins are only 88 BTC, about $6.7 million, less than 4% of the $175 million. If this were a complete laundering, the pace is too slow; it looks more like making a small clean sample first, with the main body holding position, waiting for better prices or safer channels. Macro Game: Who Is Manipulating the AI Act?
The recent AI crisis proposal directly triggered an epic panic sell-off in the US stock market. Many people panicked, but if you look at it from the perspective of political maneuvering, the logic behind this is actually very blatant.
The Democrats are very clever. Their calculation is: rather than waiting for their own people to be in power when the AI crisis breaks out, it's better to trigger this AI bubble during Trump's term.
Why? Because Trump set a very bad precedent. Previously, it was assumed that the rights of American elites could not be exploited, but he almost openly cashed in on it. Since you play that way, your opponents, including his close associates, start to imitate him — you blow up the bubble, and I make money by shorting at the top with my associates.
The recent AI proposals are actually just a detonator. Many proposals won't pass, but it doesn't matter, as long as they create enough panic selling and expectations of collapse.
They have calculated this very clearly: first short to make money, then when the financial crisis breaks out, use the money from shorting to engage in politics, making Trump the Hoover president of this century. When the world is wailing again, they will start a rate-cutting cycle, re-enter the market at a low point with the money earned from shorting, playing the role of savior. $GRASS
Decentralized data infrastructure presents an interesting question for the AI economy: who controls the resources used to collect and organize information? Grass explores a distributed approach to web data collection. Its potential depends on data quality, transparent sourcing, sustainable demand, and the economics of its network. AI-related attention alone cannot establish whether its underlying business model is durable.The night I was so down I wanted to quit the scene, I actually saw what the bottom of emotions looks like. Have you noticed that the most desperate moments often aren't when the market is at its worst? Last night I saw a post where the blogger said the money was gone, the relationship was broken, leaving only the phrase "wait for my revival," accompanied by the codes BTC, ETH, ZEC. Honestly, I felt a pang in my heart after reading it—not because I wanted to laugh, but because that feeling was too familiar—every time greed takes over, we say "this time I can control it," but it gets worse each time. But what I want to talk about isn't her, it's the signal behind this post. Let's look at the facts first: this is a typical personal liquidation-style emotional outburst, with no specific position, no price, no time point, only the result. Yet it is precisely this expression of "losing everything" that often appears near phase emotional extremes in the crypto market. The fact that an old coin like ZEC is mentioned together indicates her position is very likely not pure BTC spot, but a leveraged, altcoin, and fantasy-laden portfolio. What is the market actually trading? Not her story, but "how many others are like her." When retail sentiment slides from "one more push" to "forget it, I'm out," it usually means two things are happening simultaneously: first, high-leverage longs have mostly been liquidated; second, outsiders watching from the sidelines start comforting themselves with "others have lost everything" to avoid entering. These two emotions combined lighten short-term selling pressure, but the willingness to buy back won't immediately return. The bullish path here is: emotional clearing often precedes price clearing. If BTC can hold in this atmosphere of "no one wants to talk about the market"... #Oklo推进核电项目建设，商业化进展受关注 This type of infrastructure narrative is unlikely to provide substantial liquidity to the crypto market in the short term. BTC is still priced based on its own chip structure. My judgment is that the weak consolidation remains unchanged, with discipline prioritized over prediction.
The rebound strength at the 76037.3 level is relatively weak, with the one-hour and four-hour trends both moving downward, respectively -5.76% and -6.98% from the high, and only 0.71% and 0.62% from the low, leaving limited room below. The buy-sell ratio of 6.33 indicates buy orders dominate, the funding rate of 0.0013% is relatively neutral, and the 35,000 contracts open interest shows that the bulls have not collapsed but there is no increase either. The 24-hour slight rise of 0.4% looks more like a halt in the decline rather than a reversal.
In terms of operation, do not chase the rally: if the rebound above 75890 is weak, you can lightly try short positions, stop loss at 76240, target 74980; if it pulls back to 74860 and buy orders clearly support, then go long, stop loss at 74420, target 75610. Single trade risk should not exceed 1.5% of total funds; exit immediately if the position breaks.

This increase is not driven by demand, but because the float is too light.Every time I watch the market, I feel like the market is gently holding my wrist, and the more I add, the more I lose—this feeling is all too familiar 🫧 Have you ever experienced that as soon as you add to your position, the market turns against you? Reviewing my records over the past half month, it's almost always the same story: seeing a sector strengthen, I can't help but chase in, and as my position grows heavier, the direction immediately reverses. My account's unrealized losses have already reached over a hundred thousand U; it's hard not to feel the pain. But after calming down and reviewing, the problem isn't luck—it's that I misread the rhythm of derivatives. What’s really trading in the market now isn’t the story of a particular coin, but the strength differences between sectors. Positions in strong sectors are piling up, and funding rates are relatively high, indicating crowded longs; meanwhile, weak sectors are losing attention. In this structure, chasing strength actually fuels the squeeze—the price doesn’t need to crash hard, just one quick pullback will liquidate high-leverage longs, then the next phase begins. The more bullish path is: strong sectors first wash out floating positions, holdings decline, funding rates cool down, then reorganize for an upward move—at that point, following in is actually more stable. The risk is that if funding rates don’t retreat and positions keep piling up, any small negative news could trigger a chain liquidation, with altcoins experiencing sharper drawdowns than BTC or ETH, and risk appetite will shrink before recovery can be discussed. My current feeling is: don’t add the last position when the sector is hottest—that’s often where fragility is most concentrated. Wait until sentiment cools and leverage lightens, then the rhythm will be on your side 🌙 The above is just my personal market observation and does not constitute any trading advice. #BTC #ETH #Crypto$ARB
Arbitrum's challenge is no longer simply demonstrating that Ethereum can scale through Layer-2 technology. Competition between scaling networks has become increasingly important. Developer retention, application diversity, transaction economics, and liquidity distribution will help determine its position. A growing ecosystem is encouraging, but network activity must eventually translate into sustainable value rather than relying entirely on incentives.The vast majority of traders clearly know to set stop losses and will write down the stop loss price in advance at the moment of opening a position. But many overlook a fatal problem: a stop loss is not a fixed line; rather, during the holding period, it is gradually softened and relaxed psychologically, changing from a rigid rule to a flexible option. This is why, even though every trade has a stop loss set, large losses still occur in the end. First, distinguish between two types of stop losses. Rigid stop loss: the position is set at the time of opening, with a single condition—exit unconditionally when the price is reached, unaffected by intraday fluctuations or subjective thoughts. Flexible stop loss: there is an initial stop loss when opening the position, but when the market moves unfavorably, the mind begins to self-persuade—let’s wait and see, this support should hold, it’s just a spike, it will quickly recover. Quietly moving the stop loss further away, continuously expanding the tolerable loss, and the bottom line keeps retreating. The birth of flexible stop losses is often not an impulsive moment but a series of self-rationalizing psychological suggestions. When the price first approaches the stop loss level, you tell yourself: the volatility is so large, give a little more tolerance to avoid being stopped out. So you move the stop loss out a bit. The market continues to weaken, unrealized losses further increase, and sunk costs start to take effect. You have already lost some and are unwilling to admit the trade was a mistake, beginning to reject the outcome of “I was wrong” and instead seek every reason to support holding the position: the overall market structure hasn’t changed, the fundamentals of the asset are fine, there was previous support here. In the end, the stop loss becomes nominal only, and the trade turns into a forced hold. The originally planned small, controllable loss evolves into an unresolvable deep trap. ManyI'm focusing on one thing next week: the CPI at 9:30 PM on Tuesday.
The Nasdaq has already pulled back about 11% from its October 6 high and is still in a technical correction. This data is even more awkward—last October's shutdown meant no price data was collected, so the official report doesn't provide year-over-year figures, only month-over-month. The market expects about +0.3%, with the core at +0.2%.
The non-farm payrolls have already heated up: an increase of 165,000, unemployment rate at 4.1%, and about an 80% chance of a rate hike in December. If the CPI comes in hotter again, I'll continue to avoid high-valuation chips. I use the earnings reports from CoreWeave, Cisco, and a few others to see if AI spending is still ongoing, not as a reason to chase gains.
I won't make any moves before the CPI is released.
How about you? Are you staying in cash this week waiting, or have you already adjusted your positions?

Crypto is high-risk. Personal observation only, not investment advice. DYOR.BTC's movement today is relatively stable. The current price is about $76,000, fluctuating within ±0.1% over 24 hours, with a daily high of 76,245 and a low of 75,571. It has dropped 3.04% over the week, closing basically flat.
Position data better reflects market sentiment: the total network open interest has dropped to $44.2 billion, shrinking 2.07% in 24 hours, with leveraged funds withdrawing; the funding rate is +0.0073% (CoinGlass open interest weighted at 0.0087%), in a neutral range, with both bulls and bears reluctant to add positions. Binance shows 49% of accounts are long, retail longs and shorts are nearly equal; however, top traders on Hyperliquid are 94% short, with nominal short positions increasing by about $2.15 billion and longs decreasing by about $734 million, indicating a clear bearish bias among leading funds. ETF single-day net outflow is $412 million, with no inflow from institutional funds.
It is likely to continue oscillating narrowly between 75,571 and 76,245, with reduced volume and crowded short positions, making it prone to a dip followed by a rebound. A break below 75,571 points to the next target at 74,888; only a move above 76,245 would suggest a rebound. Avoid chasing orders or betting on direction; weekend liquidity is thin, and volatility can expand at any time. #BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 Political meme, this trend really pushed emotional pricing to the extreme this year.
$TRUMP came back to life riding the election cycle narrative. Among people I know, some used it to break even, while others got stuck at the peak.
$WLFI is the coin issued by the Trump family's DeFi project. The hype is real, but the more I look, the more it feels like the old "celebrity coin" routine, with liquidity shockingly shallow.
As for $DOGE, it twitches every time Musk tweets; holding it long-term is like raising a neurotic cat.
But for these kinds of coins, I only allocate up to 5% of my portfolio as a lottery ticket—happy if it rises, and no big deal if it goes to zero. When the celebrity halo fades and the narrative ebbs, how many candlesticks can that "political faith" in your hands really hold up?CT volume surged to a 24-hour low, but there was no additional leverage on the contract side.
From 20:00 to 21:00, this candle closed with an hourly trading volume of 102,100 USDT, which is 1.97 times the average volume of 51,900 USDT over the previous five hours, closing at 0.12242 with a low of 0.12219. The current price is 0.12187, down 7.7% in 24 hours, with a trading volume of 2.302 million USD.
Yesterday afternoon, I wrote about CT's volume breakout at 0.13877, with the invalidation condition being a drop back to 0.129. It is now 12.2% lower than that, having broken below early, so the breakout is void.
The driving force is in the spot market. The perpetual funding rate is 0.0050%, which is the lower limit under OKEx's benchmark, with no obvious crowding on either side. Open interest is 2.2798 million contracts, approximately 2.777 million USD. There is only one time point, so position changes cannot be judged; this is a gap.
Don't mistake the volume surge at a new low as a bearish dump waiting to be filled. What determines whether 0.1214 holds is how many sell orders remain in the spot market. Within 1%, buy orders total 88,000 USD, sell orders 52,200 USD; the buy side is thicker but failed to support the price. Placing orders and absorbing them are two different things.
My judgment is that this round of breakdown is driven by the spot market. To change it, watch two signals: the funding rate turning clearly negative with open interest expanding simultaneously, indicating leverage entering; and a recovery above 0.1242 with continued volume expansion, meaning selling pressure is being absorbed.
The candle closed at 22:00; first, see which side it stands relative to 0.1214.
$CT The hardest thing about $ETH right now is whether there will be another bull market. Even if there is another bull market, whether your altcoins will enter the next bull market or be delisted is still uncertain. Even if they are not delisted, your coins might not increase in value. And even if your coins do rise, given the current situation where countless altcoins are going to zero, how many times they can multiply and whether you can break even is another question... So do you think you still have a chance~There are dozens of crypto theft news reports every year, but this time it's different: the incident didn't happen to an exchange, but to an open-source wallet deployed by a user on their own server — the Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet LNbits. The official advice is not to "fix" or "wait for compensation," but for everyone to immediately shut down their servers.
Behind this statement lies the structural problem of self-custody. When an exchange is hacked, the platform can freeze assets, compensate users, and issue announcements; but for tools like LNbits, the code is in your hands, the node is on your server, and the official team has no authority to remotely take you offline or even know how many instances are running. The only thing they can do is call for a halt.
From a price perspective, $BTC is unlikely to experience directional volatility due to this news. The Lightning Network supports small payment channels, not large storage layers for big holdings, so the amount of funds involved is not on the same scale as the spot market. What is truly weakened is the long-repeated notion that "self-custody equals security."
The $ETH and $SOL ecosystems also have many self-hosted nodes and self-custody wallets, with the same logic: open source does not mean audited, and audited does not mean free of vulnerabilities. The gap between discovering a vulnerability and exploiting it is often just one public disclosure away.
A patch is in development and will be released eventually. What’s more worth considering is what comes next: among the thousands of self-hosted instances scattered worldwide, how many people will actually upgrade just because of one announcement? What centralized platforms solve with a forced update in one go may take months in the self-custody world.To be honest, when I saw that the weekly net outflow of BTC and ETH spot ETFs exceeded $1.6 billion, my first reaction was that institutions were pulling out. But when I looked back at the data from 11-08 04:24, it didn’t seem that simple.
The total trading volume of $BTC ETFs is $2.69 billion, with a total market value of $98.15 billion. This scale basically represents the main channel for institutional entry; if money wants to allocate to crypto assets, it can’t bypass this. $ETH ranks second, with a trading volume of $710 million and a market value of $29.4 billion, which is quite a bit less than Bitcoin but still a legitimate channel. As for $HYPE, the trading volume is only $8.0472 million, with a market value of $370 million. Frankly, the market cap is too small, making it inconvenient for large inflows or outflows, so expecting it to absorb big funds is unrealistic.
My own habit is to watch the trading volume: when volume increases, it means off-exchange money is really flowing in; when volume shrinks, it’s mostly just waiting and watching, with no one in a hurry to act. Net outflow is one thing; willingness to enter is another. These two need to be viewed separately. WLD's AI iris scanning identity solution cannot solve the underlying security issues
Many people are misled by Worldcoin's narrative: iris is unique, AI recognition, proving you are a real person equals security, anti-sybil, and risk resistance.
The core essence: the iris is only used for "real person verification," it is not a cryptographic security system, nor is it quantum-resistant, and it cannot stop hackers from stealing coins.
The iris is an identity entry point, not an asset security lock.
1. First fundamental flaw: once biometric features are leaked, they are permanently compromised and cannot be changed
Private keys, passwords, wallet keys can be replaced after being compromised;
The iris is an innate, fixed, lifelong biometric feature that cannot be reset or modified.
- Once the iris code or template is stolen or leaked by hackers, your World ID is permanently invalid;
- Attackers can repeatedly reuse this iris information to mass forge identities;
- This is the biggest difference from ordinary keys: keys can be rotated, but the iris exists only once.
AMPC multiparty computation only performs off-chain iris data privacy sharding, protecting the original iris plaintext from direct exposure, which does not equal resistance to quantum attacks or prevention of proof forgery.
2. Second fatal shortcoming: the on-chain ZK proof system is still a classic fragile curve, not quantum-resistant
WLD's World ID uses Groth16 zkSNARK with BN254 pairing curve; this cryptography is classical and can be broken by fault-tolerant quantum computers, and proofs can be forged.
Here we must distinguish two completely different things:
1. Off-chain: AMPC multiparty computation focuses on iris privacy; the project claims post-quantum security;
2. On-chain: used to submit and verify "I am a real person" ZK proofs, still using the old scheme vulnerable to quantum attacks.
The consequences are critical:
Once quantum computing power is available, hackers do not need your iris; they can directly forge ZK proofs, generate countless valid World IDs out of thin air, bypass iris scanning, and sybil attacks will directly break the entire system's foundation.
No matter how accurate iris AI recognition is, it cannot stop on-chain proofs from being mathematically broken.
Meanwhile, STRK follows a STARK native quantum-resistant route, with an underlying proof system that fundamentally avoids the quantum weaknesses of pairing curves; the two routes differ greatly.
3. Third layer: iris hardware recognition itself can be deceived; AI recognition is not an invincible shield
Orb devices rely on multispectral cameras and AI algorithms to distinguish real from fake irises, but deception methods keep evolving:
- High-definition iris photos, specially made optical masks, deepfakes can all potentially bypass recognition;
- Orb is specialized hardware; the device itself can be hacked or firmware hijacked;
- Recognition is AI image judgment on the device side, a "pattern recognition," not a mathematically unbreakable cryptographic commitment.
AI recognition accuracy will decline as deception techniques improve; there is no iris recognition AI that can never be fooled.
4. Fourth layer: asset security and iris identity are two completely independent systems; iris cannot prevent WLD coin theft
This is where most people get confused:
✅ Iris = proves "you are a unique human," used to claim identity and airdrops;
❌ Iris cannot protect wallet private keys, cannot protect on-chain transfers, cannot prevent exchange hacks or contract theft.
WLD tokens run on the Ethereum ecosystem; wallet signatures use secp256k1, same as BTC, which is quantum-vulnerable elliptic curve.
Even if you get a World ID through iris verification, if your wallet private key leaks or the exchange is hacked, WLD can still be transferred away and cannot be recovered.
Iris scanning only solves "is it a real person," it does not solve asset custody or transfer signature security.
The lessons from Binance hacks apply here too: custody vulnerabilities and private key hijacking have nothing to do with whether you have iris verification.
5. Fifth layer: centralized hardware dependency, high single point of failure risk
World ID verification heavily depends on Orb scanning devices:
- Device distribution, firmware upgrades, verification processes are controlled by the project team;
- Once the device supply chain is penetrated or backend logic tampered with, the entire identity system's trust foundation is directly shaken;
- It is a "hardware + AI + biometric" semi-centralized identity solution, not a fully decentralized cryptographic base.
Unlike the STARK system, security is constrained by cryptographic rules and does not rely on any single scanning machine or AI recognition model.
6. Summary in one sentence
Iris AI can only be used for real person identity screening; it cannot solve the three core security problems:
1. Biometric leakage is irreversible;
2. On-chain proof systems have quantum cracking risks;
3. It is independent from token asset signatures and wallet custody security, so it cannot prevent coin theft.
AI iris recognition is an identity tool, not a security foundation; identity verification ≠ asset security, and certainly not quantum resistance.
This is also the fundamental reason why WLD struggles to break out independently and its valuation remains under pressure.$PYTH
Oracle infrastructure rarely receives the same attention as consumer-facing crypto applications, yet accurate external data is essential for decentralized finance. Pyth addresses this need through its price-data infrastructure. Its long-term opportunity depends on expanding genuine data consumption across applications. One important question remains: how effectively does growing oracle usage translate into sustainable economic demand for PYTH?The most cautionary signal on Wall Street may not be the sharp drop in U.S. stocks, but that Berkshire Hathaway still holds over $350 billion in cash and has quietly started to take action!
On November 7, Berkshire released its latest Q3 earnings report.
A few numbers deserve serious attention from all investors:
🔴 Cash reserves: about $356.9 billion!
🔴 Single quarter buybacks: $9.6 billion!
🔴 Operating profit: $12.7 billion, down 5.8% year-over-year!
🔴 Insurance underwriting profit: plummeted 42.9%!
🔴 Q3 stock trading: still a slight net sell!
Putting these figures together, you’ll notice a very intriguing phenomenon:
Berkshire is spending money but not fully bottom-fishing!
This is the real point to watch.
In the past, the market has been discussing:
Why is Berkshire hoarding so much cash?
Is it anticipating a crash in U.S. stocks?
But this earnings report reveals another possibility:
It’s not that they don’t dare to invest, but that they are waiting for truly worthwhile prices to act on. #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% $xSOXL$BTC$【Has the bottom-fishing signal appeared as SOL falls near $90?】
$SOL is currently hovering around $89.5, down about 6% in the past 7 days and about 18% in the past 30 days. It was above $102 in late October, but now it has returned near $90, with the rebound strength clearly unable to keep up with the previous decline speed. On November 5 and 6, SOL faced continuous pressure, with significantly increased trading volume during this period, indicating that funds are still actively exiting this round of adjustment, and no clear trend reversal is visible for now.
Institutional funds have not given positive signals either. The US SOL spot ETF saw a net outflow of about $25.07 million on November 6, marking two consecutive trading days of net outflows, with a total outflow of about $26.3 million over the past 5 trading days. Meanwhile, SOL's total open interest (OI) across all contracts is about $3.11 billion, up about 0.7% in 24 hours, funding rates remain positive, and Binance's holding accounts have a long position ratio of 78.3%. The price is falling while contract positions are increasing, and longs are relatively crowded; this structure easily turns subsequent rebounds into liquidity sources for long position liquidations.
I am currently bearish on SOL and do not recommend heavy bottom-fishing around $89 for the time being. $88.5 is the immediate support; if broken, focus on around $85, and further down, watch the $84 area. On the upside, first watch $90.7–$92, and only after firmly reclaiming $95 can we discuss short-term structural recovery. My approach is to wait for it to complete deleveraging first, then see if spot funds can flow back.A single screenshot and a two-month earnings figure can stir up the Chinese crypto community for a long time — this time the main character is He Yi, co-founder of Binance.
The trigger was a post by user TuanX, showing a screenshot claiming that X paid He Yi nearly $300,000 in creator earnings over two months. He casually asked how much Zhao Changpeng himself received from X. Zhao Changpeng's response was straightforward: this claim is false.
What’s really worth pondering is not whether this $300,000 is true or not, but why people believe such numbers as soon as they appear.
Top figures in the crypto industry inherently carry huge potential for monetizing their influence. When a platform mechanism like creator incentives overlaps with the identity of an exchange founder, $300,000 doesn’t even sound exaggerated. The rumor spreads because it fits most people’s expectations of this industry.
Another layer is the information structure. X’s creator earnings are not fully public; outsiders can only rely on screenshots and speculation. With opaque data sources, any image can be treated as evidence, while the spread of refutations is always slower than the original post.
For holders, the focus is not on gossip. Reputation incidents involving top exchanges may amplify $BNB sentiment fluctuations in the short term, but true pricing still comes down to trading volume and capital flow. This time, $BTC and $ETH barely reacted, indicating the market categorized it as noise rather than risk.
Next time you see a similar internal screenshot, ask first: who can verify this number? BTC ETF weekly outflow of 1.28 billion, but the price did not drop proportionally
Capital flow and price are not moving in sync; this kind of divergence most easily leads to premature conclusions.
Looking again 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, not yet extremely crowded.
Using $ETH as a reference, price about $2,234.31, down 0.63% in 24h; OI 24h -0.1%, fee rate +0.0055%/8h (CoinGecko perpetual summary). Price has fallen but open interest is almost flat, temporarily more like waiting for direction rather than new leverage clearly entering.
Compared to daily price changes, I care more whether the capital evidence of $BTC and $ETH is aligned; currently, it is insufficient to make a combined judgment.
ETF is spot fund subscription/redemption, OI is derivative open interest; they cannot be mixed as one sum of money. Who do you think is supporting the price?
#BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 #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% [US chip stocks rebounded on Friday, SK Hynix rose 4.5% in advance: Is capital starting to bet on memory chips?]
The US stock market was closed over the weekend, but perpetual contracts on stocks at Trade.xyz did not stop. The most obvious divergence was: US tech stocks like Nvidia, Micron, and AMD generally fell slightly, while SK Hynix $SKHY and Samsung rose about 4.5% and 2.6% respectively compared to Friday's closing price. The market is clearly pricing in higher expectations for Korean semiconductor stocks on Monday.
What is worth noting behind this is memory chips. Hynix is an important supplier of HBM high-bandwidth memory, and Samsung is also actively competing for AI memory market share. The expansion of AI data centers requires not only GPUs but also a large amount of high-performance memory. Compared to recent sell-offs in US tech stocks due to AI valuation, regulation, and capital expenditure concerns, capital may be reallocating to parts of the semiconductor supply chain supported by actual demand.
Last week, after the US semiconductor index plunged on Thursday, it rebounded 4.2% on Friday, but the Nasdaq still fell 3.4% for the week. This indicates the market has not fully recovered from the adjustment.
The key observation on Monday is whether the Korean market can realize this premium. If Hynix and Samsung continue to strengthen at the actual market open, it may mean memory chips are becoming a new capital inflow direction in the semiconductor sector. However, Trade.xyz’s weekend contracts use an internal price discovery mechanism, so the final outcome still depends on the real stock market opening performance.78000 and 2300: Prices are holding, but funds are retreating
78000 and 2300 are like two gates being repeatedly tested. Prices stubbornly hold at these two levels, but funds are withdrawing, which is the most conflicted aspect of the current crypto market.
First, looking at the macro picture: the midterm election voting day coincides with the non-farm payroll release, sharply increasing uncertainty; BTC options implied volatility has surged to 43.5%, with large funds busy buying protection.
On the BTC side, there are plenty of bearish factors: Binance hack, ETF net outflows exceeding $600 million in a single day, and cooling rate cut expectations. In the past, these would have triggered a sharp drop, but this time not even a 3% decline was given, the gap remains unfilled, and the resistance level is stronger than expected. However, the rebound momentum is questionable—it looks more like short covering rather than new funds entering. Above, between 78556 and 78836 lies the densest cluster of 100x long positions in the entire market; once the price touches this, it could trigger a chain sell-off.
ETH barely returned to 2300, but the spot ETF has seen net outflows for more than twenty consecutive trading days, with BlackRock withdrawing $138 million in a single day. Regaining the round number does not equal a trend reversal; 2350–2370 remains a dense resistance zone where previous rebounds failed.
Ultimately, 78000 and 2300 are psychological stop-loss levels for bulls and bears respectively; whoever loses them first will surrender their chips. Until the direction is clear, whether to chase or not is a test of patience.

#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC $ETH $ZEC had absolutely "no movement" in the crypto market over the weekend; is another drop coming next week?
Wall Street institutional funds determine crypto liquidity; once they clock out, trading stops.
Although crypto trades 24/7, the institutional funds that truly set prices follow traditional financial hours: hedge funds, market makers, and proprietary desks reduce or close over the weekend.
The US Bitcoin spot ETF suspends subscriptions and redemptions on weekends, and bank fiat channels also narrow, leaving the market dominated only by retail investors and bots, causing order books to suddenly thin.
Data shows weekend trading volume as a proportion of the whole week has dropped from about 25% in 2018 to around 16% in recent years, with price discovery almost entirely concentrated during US stock market hours. Thinner liquidity raises costs: average weekend spreads widen by about 11%, effective depth for $100,000 trades worsens nearly 9%, and overall liquidity declines over 5%.
So, the lack of weekend volatility is more accurately described as fragile calm: without institutional directional drivers, volume shrinks and consolidation occurs; but under thin liquidity, small sell orders or stop losses can trigger disproportionately large "spikes."
Additionally, CME Bitcoin futures close on weekends while spot trades 24 hours; weekend spot deviations often cause Monday futures to gap "catch up," which also explains larger Monday volatility. In short: it’s not that the heartbeat stopped, but the pacemaker was turned off over the weekend. #BTC与ETH现货ETF单周净流出超16亿美元 A long position of 1000 $BTC held for half a year has a paper profit of 3.25 million USD. This looks like a winning trade, but when you break it down, it's not that simple.
First, the process. This address used about 3x leverage to open the position, at one point suffering a floating loss of over 10 million USD, and only managed to bring the position back to break-even by adjusting the position. 3x leverage is moderate in the crypto world, but with 1000 BTC, a nominal value of about 76.02 million USD, any fluctuation is significant.
Next, the cost. Over half a year, funding fees paid totaled about 2.83 million USD. With a floating profit of 3.25 million and funding fees of 2.83 million, offsetting each other, the wait over these six months was almost for nothing. Its historical cumulative profit is only 376,400 USD, with a total net value of about 24.97 million USD — over the long term, this address is actually very close to breaking even.
Here's the mechanism: perpetual longs have to continuously pay funding fees to shorts. As long as the funding rate is positive, the longer you hold, the higher the cost. This is a definite expense deducted hourly, while price direction is probabilistic. Those holding positions often only consider if the direction is right, not how much they pay daily for waiting.
So this is not a position to copy, but a lesson to learn. Directionally, it was a correct bet, but in terms of profit, it barely earned anything.
One question remains: if even a whale with a floating profit of 3.25 million USD is stripped by funding fees to near break-even, what exactly are those holding higher-leverage longs waiting for?Buying ASTS = buying 13 turning into 45 in the first half of 2027, and receiving the operator service fee for the first time. The baseline scenario (a bit slow but no collapse) is already priced in at $32 — to make money, you have to bet on faster than the baseline,
and the self-developed rocket Blacklift's maiden flight won't be until the end of 2028, so the 1.3 billion Firefly expenditure looks more like a passive payment after being bottlenecked, not expansion. #ASTS推进手机直连卫星服务，商业化进展待披露 Elon Musk is making big promises again. He announced that SpaceX's annual revenue could exceed $500 billion by the end of next year. At the same time, he officially announced a joint development with NVIDIA on the Starmind Starlink computer, which will be directly launched into space. First, let's understand what Starmind really is: It is a plan to move AI data centers to low Earth orbit. Each satellite itself is an independent computing node, running AI training and inference directly in orbit, interconnected via inter-satellite laser links, transmitting computation results back to Earth. Musk's core logic: Space has no day or night, no atmospheric attenuation, solar energy is nearly unlimited and the lowest cost energy source. The biggest bottleneck for ground computing power is not chips, but power and cooling, and space just happens to solve this pain point. But we need to distinguish two things: The vision is grand, but the implementation threshold is ridiculously high. Starship production capacity, satellite yield, space radiation damage to GPUs, Earth-space latency, regulation, and orbital resources are all unresolved tough challenges. The $500 billion annual revenue and space-distributed computing clusters are long-term stories told to the market, not performance already realized. This time, what he is betting on is not rockets, but the next era of AI computing power.$SPCX Just after 11 PM, I checked the market again before shutting down the computer! BTC has reclaimed 76,000, ETH is still struggling around 2,240, and HYPE has dropped nearly 0.5%! Looking at the weighted funding rates on positions, longs continue to pay, but the price is stuck without rising—this market might be a bit risky.
First, $BTC: $76,046, up 0.20%
US spot ETFs have seen continuous outflows recently, and tech stock sell-offs are suppressing risk appetite. Funding rates remain positive, indicating leveraged longs are still willing to pay to hold positions, but the price lacks a breakthrough. Short-term support to watch is 75,000; only a stable hold above 77,000 offers room for recovery.
Next, $ETH: $2,239, down 0.19%
ETH spot ETFs are also under pressure. Funding rates are mostly positive, but the price continues to oscillate at low levels, showing that crowded longs have not translated into upward momentum. Watch support at 2,200; only a break above 2,300 offers a chance to strengthen.
Finally, $HYPE: $77.42, down 0.48%
Binance has resumed HYPE withdrawals, improving short-term liquidity somewhat. However, funding rates remain positive, leveraged longs are still active, but the price has not shown clear strength. Short-term support is at 75, with obvious resistance between 80 and 85.
A few final words:
Positive funding rates do not guarantee a price increase! When longs keep paying but the price fails to break through, be cautious of sudden pullbacks.
What do you think will happen first: BTC breaking above 77,000, or HYPE falling below 75?
#ModernaQ3扭亏为盈，上调全年营收增长预期 After the Democratic Party swept Congress, the crypto market has entered a "rule restructuring period": short-term volatility, long-term revaluation.
After the midterm elections, the Democratic Party is expected to control both the House and Senate. The CLARITY Act is stalled, and regulatory stances may swing back to the SEC. The crypto industry is shifting from "rushing for legislative benefits" to "defending against censorship + striving for compliance."
Given the current situation where BTC is consolidating around $76,000 and ETFs have seen weekly outflows exceeding $1.2 billion, this article breaks down the key capital, regulatory, and sector signals to watch closely next, and provides a response framework for ordinary investors. With the midterm elections concluded and Washington's political balance shifted, the crypto industry suddenly realizes that the policy tailwinds gained through lobbying over the past two years are rapidly fading.
The political spending in this cycle for the industry is about $190 million (Public Citizen statistics show approximately $189 million through Q1 2026, with other estimates close to $200 million). The plan was to replicate the "pro-crypto Congress + executive orders" double boost after 2024, but the Democrats took both chambers.
The money was not wasted, but clearly not spent effectively—the Fairshake bet on 34 races and won 29, yet key swing seats and committee chair positions have shifted to regulatory hawks. This is not a "fully negative" event for the crypto space, but rather the beginning of "expectation repricing." #ModernaQ3扭亏为盈，上调全年营收增长预期 $BTC $ETH $SNDK The most easily overlooked risk is never a crash, but rather your belief that "I have been very careful." Does one-click login really mean one less hassle and one less risk? When I saw Keplr's announcement, my first reaction was not panic, but a bit of chill. Accounts created using Google or Apple one-click login were suspected of being compromised, with the issue lying in the security measures of the login service provider Web3Auth, causing some users' private keys to be exposed. Wallets self-built with mnemonic phrases and hardware wallets are unaffected. This statement is actually very important as it clearly defines the boundary of risk: the problem is not the chain or the assets themselves, but the "entry point." Many people interpret this as just another ordinary security news and scroll past it. But what concerns me more is the psychological misconception it exposes: people always understand security as "I don't click on unknown links or accept airdrops," but rarely examine the entry point they use daily to access the market. The smoothness brought by one-click login is itself an invisible cost. The steps saved might be the only buffer between you and your private key. At the market level, such incidents won't directly crash the price of BTC or ETH in the short term, but they will quietly change risk appetite. Experienced players will re-examine their wallet structures and move large assets to hardware wallets; new entrants will hesitate, especially those accustomed to logging in with social accounts. The activity of clones and DeFi is most sensitive to this hesitation because their marginal buying depends on the "dare to act" sentiment.🔥The biggest fear when trading BTC now is not missing out, but mistaking a normal rebound for a market reversal! Strong non-farm payrolls and ETF outflows have already sounded the alarm for the market.
📉US October non-farm payrolls increased by 165,000, significantly exceeding the expected 65,000, with the unemployment rate falling to 4.1%. The market immediately raised bets on a Fed rate hike in December, the dollar index rose about 0.7%, and US Treasury yields climbed. The macro environment is not favorable for the crypto market.
💸Meanwhile, last week saw a net outflow of about $1.28 billion from US spot BTC ETFs, the largest weekly outflow since the end of June, turning the year-to-date net inflow negative. ETH ETFs also experienced net outflows for the sixth consecutive week. Institutional funds have not shown a clear return, indicating the market still lacks a strong driver for sustained gains.
🧭I will not change my risk assessment based on one or two bullish candles. Short covering can cause a rebound, but only when spot funds re-enter, ETF flows improve, and prices recover key levels with volume, is there more reason to believe the trend is changing.
⚠️Next, focus on CPI, the dollar index, and US Treasury yields. Trading doesn’t require guessing the direction correctly every time; controlling position size and preserving capital are what qualify you to wait for the next opportunity.
Will you choose to position early now, or wait until funds flow back before acting? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 🔥Don't mistake every rebound for a bull market restart! BTC is currently facing dual challenges from macroeconomic factors and capital flows.
📉 In October, the US added 165,000 nonfarm jobs, far exceeding the market expectation of 65,000, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. Strong employment data has pushed the December rate hike expectations to 78%, the dollar index rose about 0.7%, and US Treasury yields rose in tandem. The previously anticipated easing environment may not arrive so easily in the short term.
💰The capital side is also not optimistic. Last week, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $1.28 billion, turning the year-to-date net inflow negative; the ETH ETF has experienced net outflows for six consecutive weeks. Without sustained spot buying support, a rise driven solely by short covering is hard to prove a trend reversal.
📊 My judgment is: rebounds can be observed and participated in, but the market should not be prematurely assumed to have reversed. The truly promising signals are ETF capital flowing back in, increased spot buying, and prices breaking through key resistance with volume.
⚠️ Tonight and in the coming days, focus on inflation data and changes in US Treasury yields. Position sizes should be controlled until confirmation.
Brothers, do you now trust technical rebounds more, or are you waiting for institutional capital to return? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 In the past, you only needed to remember one sentence: "Tightened regulation = negative for the industry."
On November 8, this was half torn apart: South Korea plans to set a single shareholder ownership cap at 15%-20%, giving existing platforms a 1-2 year buffer period. It sounds like a shackle, but it's actually a change of control: the forced reduction in holdings is essentially paving the way for traditional financial institutions like banks and securities firms to enter the market.
Look at three accounts:
① Founders are hit the hardest. Upbit's Song Ji-hyung holds 25.5% and must sell 5-10%, Bithumb Holdings must sell 53-58%, and Binance's Gopax holdings must sell 47-52%.
② On the other hand, people are being allowed to enter. The FSC plans to lift the corporate investment ban since 2017, and institutional entry will begin by the end of the year: forced reduction of old money + introduction of new money, this is a "shareholder swap," not an "industry kill."
③ The pain is real. The equity swap between Dunamu and Naver has been postponed for the second time until the end of 2026 for reconciliation. Last year, 160 trillion KRW flowed overseas.
What does this have to do with your account?
1. Don't rush: The November draft text is not finalized, and constitutional and property rights disputes remain unresolved — even Dunamu, with stronger information advantages, is waiting for reconciliation, so why should retail investors move first?
2. Watch the "buyer list": who the buyers are and at what price. Once the list is out, the valuation anchor for exchange equity will be established.
3. Don't mistakenly hurt global positions: this round only reprices "exchange equity," with a bonus being the FSC lifting the corporate investment ban and institutional funds entering by year-end.
No action in the short term, bullish on the mid-term change of control market — discuss positions again when the November text is finalized.Has $XLY consumer income outpaced inflation?
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is scheduled to release CPI and real income data simultaneously on November 10. Discretionary spending depends more on purchasing power adjusted for price changes and is also constrained by installment costs. If real income improves and retail sales keep pace, demand is more reliable. If the increase is mainly driven by nominal price hikes and sales weaken, the assessment of consumer resilience should be lowered.On Thursday, trading volume surged to nearly three times the average during the sharp drop, while on Friday's rebound, volume noticeably shrank. Most leading tech stocks only recovered about 30% of Thursday's losses, indicating that large institutional funds remain mostly cautious.
At the same time, recent valuation expectations for leading AI unicorns in the primary market have also been revised downward. The market is shifting from simply chasing the scale of computing infrastructure to rigorously testing AI's commercial monetization and cash flow returns.
This downturn is essentially squeezing out the valuation excess from AI tech stocks that surged too rapidly over the past two years. The market is using the election and economic data as an opportunity to wash out uncertain positions.
Next, the Nasdaq is likely to continue oscillating and consolidating near the 200-day moving average. It will be much safer to wait until next week's inflation data is released and the index truly shows volume expansion and stabilization before taking action.
$QQQ 🔥How much strength does the BTC rebound still have? What’s really troubling the bulls now isn’t just the strong nonfarm payrolls, but also the continuous withdrawal of institutional funds!
📉The US added 165,000 nonfarm jobs in October, far exceeding the market expectation of 65,000, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. The robust employment data has heated up expectations for a Fed rate hike in December, with market bets rising to 78% at one point. The US dollar index rose about 0.7%, and US Treasury yields also moved higher. The originally anticipated easing trades are being repriced.
💸What’s even more concerning is the funding side. Last week, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $1.28 billion, the largest weekly outflow since the end of June, and the cumulative net inflow for the year has turned into a net outflow. The ETH ETF has also been bleeding for six consecutive weeks, with institutional funds showing no clear bottom-fishing intentions for now.
📊I believe the short-term rebound may come from oversold recovery and short covering, but to truly reverse the trend, spot buying and ETF funds need to re-enter.
⚠️Next, focus on CPI, the US dollar, and US Treasury yields. No rush to chase the rebound today; first, see if funds turn back.
Brothers, do you think BTC still has a chance to turn this rebound into a reversal? #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 $BTC $ETH Brothers, I just can't figure it out, really can't! Tonight's nonfarm payrolls came in at 16.5, far exceeding expectations, and the probability of a December rate hike jumped 10%. Logically, there should have been a big drop, with BTC going to 74000 and ETH to 2100, but the market barely fell, not even a decent downward spike. What's more coincidental is that BTC tonight landed exactly at 74800—the lowest point of the last pullback. This level might not be broken in the short term, indicating that support below is stronger than expected. The fact that it didn't drop on bad news suggests we should be wary of short-selling momentum fading. I plan to close my short positions around 75000 and try a short-term long, first seeing if 74800 holds and then a rebound near 76300. Of course, if volume breaks below 74800, the short-term long idea is invalid. What do you guys think?
