#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 Why am I still watching SanDisk with cautious optimism? From its September peak near $1,905 to the current consolidation around $1,450, $SNDK has experienced a significant pullback. In my view, this could be a period of consolidation as investors reassess inflation, interest-rate expectations, and the long-term demand for storage. 💾 The long-term story remains important. Growing data-center and AI workloads could support memory and storage demand, although competition, pricing, and earnings expAlthough all three are linked to crypto exchanges, their value propositions and revenue models are quite different. 1️⃣ $HYPE — The Trading Revenue Play HYPE's investment thesis is closely tied to Hyperliquid's trading activity, protocol revenue, and token buyback mechanisms. Higher trading volume can strengthen the narrative, but it doesn't guarantee price appreciation. Recently, leveraged positioning and crowded trades have added another layer of volatility. If short exposure becomes excessiveAfter I bought $ENA on a dip yesterday, I still underestimated the impact of the CPI on it.
After the data was released, market expectations for a Fed rate hike before the end of the year significantly increased, with the probability of a rate hike in October rising from about 22% to about 40%.
Impact on ENA
Deterioration of funding rate environment: USDe's yield depends on positive funding rates in the crypto market. Rising rate hike expectations will suppress the market's willingness to leverage bullish positions. If funding rates continue to decline, USDe's yield will decrease accordingly, which in turn will inhibit the growth of its supply.
Expansion into tokenized stocks: Ethena is expanding USDe's yield sources to include tokenized stock perpetual contracts to reduce reliance on crypto funding rates alone. However, this strategy requires sustained bullish sentiment in traditional financial markets, which is also suppressed by rate hike expectations.
Therefore, the CPI exceeding expectations has delayed the trigger time for the fee switch, and ENA's "buyback flywheel" cannot start in the short term.
Follow-up points to watch
FOMC meeting on October 27-28: This is the next key macro event after the CPI. If the Fed signals a more hawkish stance, risk assets will face greater pressure; conversely, if the tone is dovish, ENA may get a breathing room.
Funding rate trends: If funding rates continue to decline or even turn negative after the CPI, USDe's yield will be under pressure, and supply growth may slow further. 整体CPI同比3.7%，核心同比2.6%，都超出预期，主要被油价推起来。 数据一出，美债收益率拉升，降息预期被下调，加息概率翻倍。$BTC $ETH $ZEC 高利率对科技、储能这类高估值板块不友好，今晚美股科技股集体承压很正常。它们赚的是远期利润，利率越高，远期估值越容易被压。 但也不用完全看空。利空落地后，短线容易出现脉冲反弹。这种反弹更适合当波段做T，别当成趋势反转去重仓赌。 现在市场进入震荡博弈阶段，波动会放大，夜里插针风险要格外留意。仓位分好，止损设好，别被第一根针带走。#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Don't bottom fish! 170,000 people were just wiped out, 88.9% were long positions — this is not a pullback, it's a targeted liquidation
On October 13, the crypto market once again witnessed a brutal "targeted liquidation" operation. The total liquidation amount across the network reached $620 million, with 172,000 investors instantly "wiped out," 88.9% of whom were long. Ethereum longs liquidated $169 million, Bitcoin longs liquidated $160 million, and Solana longs had an even higher liquidation rate of 94.2%.
Behind this massacre, the real culprit was not the market makers, but U.S. Treasury bonds. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 5.24%, nearing a 24-year high. When risk-free yields can exceed 5%, why would capital want to play an 80% volatility game with you? Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $680 million in a single week, and Ethereum ETFs were drained of $542 million over 10 consecutive days. The withdrawal of institutional funds directly drained market liquidity.
Against the backdrop of tightening macro liquidity, highly leveraged longs became the most vulnerable prey. Binance alone handled 51.9% of all liquidations on the network, with the largest single liquidation reaching $9.65 million. The corpses of leveraged longs littered the $81,000 price level.
This was not just a simple pullback, but a precise strike against highly leveraged capital. When market sentiment is extremely pessimistic and retail investors are cutting losses and exiting, whales are quietly accumulating. This divergence between "ETF withdrawals" and "whale bottom fishing" reveals the deeper logic of the current market. Why did it drop tonight? Explained in three sentences.
🔴 First, South Korea collapsed, dragging down the entire market. The South Korean KOSPI index plummeted over 5%, led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Panic over the AI valuation bubble directly transmitted across markets. In a pattern where cryptocurrencies and U.S. stocks rise and fall together, no risk asset can stand alone.
🔴 Second, U.S. Treasury yields are pressing down. The 10-year Treasury yield soared to 5.35%, the 30-year to 5.70%, the highest since 2002. With risk-free yields this high, who would want to hold highly volatile assets? Money is systematically withdrawing.
🔴 Third, the bulls trampled themselves. Over $800 million liquidated across the entire network in 24 hours, with long positions accounting for more than 84%—it wasn’t shorts crashing the market, but long leverage blowing up itself. After BTC broke key support, liquidation cascades triggered; altcoins with thin liquidity fell even harder.
📌 Summary in one sentence: Korean stocks are the fuse, U.S. Treasuries the base color, leverage the accelerator. Tonight’s drop isn’t due to a single negative factor but the simultaneous eruption of triple pressure. Tomorrow night’s CPI data is the real directional signal; before that, controlling your hands is more important than anything. $BTC On the eve of the CPI judgment night, whales are frantically buying
On the night before the CPI data release, market sentiment was extremely compressed. Bitcoin repeatedly tugged at the $83,000 mark; beneath the seemingly calm surface, there were actually turbulent undercurrents.
On one side, institutional funds were panic withdrawing. Data shows that last week, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of as much as $679 million, marking the largest single-week outflow since June; the Ethereum ETF suffered a continuous 10-day "bloodletting," with cumulative outflows totaling $542 million. The pessimism in traditional financial channels seems to be pricing in tonight's CPI data.
However, under the shadow of retail panic selling, another force is quietly entering the market. On-chain data shows that a whale address bought 1,162 BTC in one go through Wintermute, worth about $96.77 million. Even more, a whale sold 1,074 BTC within three days and switched positions to 35,346 ETH. This "abandon BTC, enter ETH" operation is not only a bet on the recovery of the Ethereum ecosystem but also a clear market signal: smart money is using the liquidity gap caused by ETF outflows to accumulate at low levels.
This divergence between "ETF withdrawal" and "whale bottom-fishing" reveals the deep logic of the current market. ETF funds are often constrained by macro sentiment and compliance costs, reacting more sensitively and short-term; while whale funds focus more on long-term value and asset fundamentals. When the two move in opposite directions, it often means the market is at a critical node of chip exchange. Big Numbers, But How Much Profit Is Actually Generated? 📊 For $AAVE , I start by examining the actual lending activity. Deposits provide the capital for lending, but they don't automatically generate revenue. Borrowers must use that capital and pay interest, with a portion allocated to the protocol treasury according to each asset's reserve factor. That's why I look beyond total deposits. If deposits double while borrowing demand remains weak, protocol revenue may not grow at the same pace. I f$BTC 美国9月CPI、核心CPI，全都比市场预想的更高通胀没压下去。

As of Tuesday, the company increased its holdings by about 2.35 billion USD to 2,822 bitcoins, bringing the total holdings to 35,595 bitcoins. Judging by the amount and quantity alone, this was just a routine treasury accumulation. But there is a number in the same disclosure that is easier to overlook: the cumulative exercise ratio of traditional warrants has reached 94%.
This time, they exercised about 13.7 million of the remaining 15.3 million warrants, expected to generate a total revenue of 369 million USD. In other words, a large portion of the money for this round of purchases came from warrant exercises, not newly raised funds from the market. Warrant exercise means shareholders pay the company the agreed price, and the company uses that money to buy coins.
The disclosure gives a leverage ratio of 47%. This number indicates the degree to which financing instruments amplify shareholder funds. Warrants, convertible bonds, preferred shares layer on top of each other, and the number of bitcoins per share is amplified when prices rise. When the coin price rises, the bitcoin content per share increases faster than the coin price itself, which is the source of efficiency for treasury companies in a bull market.
But the same structure works in reverse. The higher the leverage ratio, the deeper the net asset value per share falls when the coin price declines. A 47% leverage ratio looks good during an uptrend, but it tells a different story when prices fall. Leverage does not pick directions.
With 94% of the warrants already exercised, the available financing tools are nearly exhausted. Going forward, the company will either rely on the stock price continuing to rise to refinance or the buying pace will stop. On-chain data can show how much it has bought, but not how much money it has left.When even the security guard downstairs starts asking if you can short ZEC
The security guard downstairs stopped me today and casually asked while handing me a cigarette, “$ZEC has dropped this much, can you still short it?”
I smiled and pointed to his electric bike blocking the passage: “Move your bike first, you’re blocking others from coming in and out.”
I gave a perfunctory reply, but my heart skipped a beat.
What does this mean? It means this trading logic has completely gone mainstream. When even a security guard who doesn’t usually watch the market can sense ZEC’s downtrend and instinctively wants to short it, it means retail investor sentiment in the market has become highly unanimous.
In the trading world, unanimity is often dangerous. When shorts become crowded, it means potential buying pressure (short covering) is accumulating. I’m not predicting ZEC will surge immediately, but chasing shorts when everyone wants to short is a very poor risk-reward scenario. At this time, rather than staring at candlesticks, maybe you should pay more attention to the emotions of the people around you—because the market always quietly turns at the peak of noisy chatter. #US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations Qivalis has obtained an electronic money institution license issued by the Dutch central bank, backed by 37 major European banks, including BBVA, BNP Paribas, ING, and DZ Bank. The next step is to issue euro-denominated electronic money tokens (EMT) within a few months after fulfilling MiCA requirements and publishing a white paper.
This EMT will not be sold directly to individual users but will be issued through banks, crypto exchanges, and payment service providers. Ordinary people probably won't see the name Qivalis directly in their wallets; it is more likely to appear in the backend settlement processes of banking apps.
Notably, the 37 banks share a single issuer structure. In the past, banks approached stablecoins individually, but this time they are collaborating to share the burden. This choice is often driven not by whether a single bank can profit, but by the concern that if others adopt it and one does not, that bank might be left behind.
Fireblocks has been selected to provide the digital asset infrastructure. This means that the entire chain from custody, transfer to compliant settlement is already handled by someone, so banks do not need to build a full crypto infrastructure themselves, enabling much faster deployment.
The key point to observe here is not the addition of a new euro stablecoin, but that the banking system is starting to integrate EMT into its own payment channels. Once the entry point is incorporated into existing systems, end users basically have no choice about whether to interact with it; it becomes a matter of whether they see it or not.$SNDK
上个帖子有提到闪迪1399.5这里很关键，不跌破还好，跌破，这里就会形成强压力。到时候再突破就比较难了。
而且这一路走来，其实它拉盘非常的快，但是回调很慢，就是不给散户们思考的时间，等你反应过来，已经拉了80%了，然后边回调边拉盘，又让你难受的要死。追也不是，看也不是，好像错过100亿一样
现在4小时上方受阻1494.9。下方1399.5，差不多7%的空间，还是很不错的BTC此前横盘数日，市场一直在等数据打破僵局，现在数据出来了，核心CPI超预期意味着加息压力重新升温，BTC下方82000是关键支撑。一旦此线失守，下一目标很可能是79500一线。反观上方，83500是短期分水岭，站稳才有机会冲击85000。
但也不必过度恐慌，从持仓结构看，BTC长期持有者筹码依然稳固，此前从87000一线回落后，抛压主要来自短期浮筹。ETF资金近期虽有波动，但整体未出现大规模撤离。CPI偏热带来的加息压力，更多是压制上行空间，而非引发崩盘式下跌。
10月28日的美联储议息会议是下一个决定性节点。目前加息概率43.7%，意味着市场尚未完全定价加息。 OKB’s burn schedule is empty. Supply has been flat at 21M since August 2025 There’s no $OKB burn schedule left to track. Supply has sat at 21M since OKX’s one-time burn of 65,256,712 OKB on August 15, 2025, followed by a contract upgrade meant to remove minting and burning from the token entirely. Before that, the model was buyback-and-burn: 28 rounds since 2019, 213.7M coins destroyed. The arithmetic is worth doing. Start at 300M. Subtract 213.7M from the buybacks and 65.26M from the final burnAll three CPI data points in September exceeded expectations: broad year-on-year, core year-on-year, and core month-on-month. During a phase of insufficient market confidence, what is most needed are data that meet or fall below expectations to boost sentiment; all three surpassing expectations is a direct blow.
Breaking it down, energy is the absolute driver of this surge. Gasoline contributed more than half of the broad CPI month-on-month increase, against the backdrop of Middle East conflicts pushing up oil prices, with retail gasoline prices near highs at the end of September. Food remained generally stable, and core goods year-on-year stayed below 1%.
Housing inflation continues a mild upward trend, with owner-equivalent rent month-on-month +0.3%, primary residence rent +0.2%, and lodging away from home +2.0%. The housing component, which carries the greatest weight, is the main support for core inflation; it shows no obvious acceleration but also no rapid decline. Core services month-on-month rose 0.4%, year-on-year +3.1%, airline ticket prices month-on-month +1.2%, year-on-year about +22.4%, indirectly driven by fuel costs.
Although inflation is high, the causes differ, and policy responses vary accordingly. Energy is an external shock; oil prices are determined by Middle East situations, not by the Federal Reserve, and may fall back. Housing changes slowly and reacts late, with stronger endogenous stickiness. The former can be waited out; the latter cannot.
Oil prices remain high, and there are recent reports of a container ship sinking in the Strait of Hormuz and two Singapore-registered oil tankers attacked, keeping short-term sentiment under pressure. The next observation point may be the end-of-month earnings reports from several cloud providers, to see if the market can shift focus from fearing inflation to looking at profitability.$ZEC Bullish and Bearish Factors — Governance Upgrade Expectations Remain, but Short-Term Funds Are Exiting!
Bullish side: NU7 upgrade vote passed with 99.9%, block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, developers plan to activate the mainnet upgrade on November 5. Grayscale's ZEC spot ETF attracted over $1 billion in inflows in its first month, and the Winklevoss brothers have also applied for a new ZEC ETF (ticker WINK, fee rate 0.25%).
Bearish side: ETF outflows exceeded 124 million for two consecutive weeks + a whale deposited 15 million to Coinbase + suspected Bitkub co-founder sold 24,100 ZEC — short-term funds are systematically withdrawing. $ZEC Contract Data and the Manipulators' Conspiracy — Shorts Liquidations Account for 68%, but Longs Liquidations Are Also Accelerating!
First, $30.16 million liquidated across the network in 24 hours, with $20.51 million from shorts, accounting for 68%; longs liquidated $9.64 million. Shorts are being wiped out, but longs liquidations are also speeding up.
Second, the funding rate is +0.01%, nearly zero. Longs aren’t celebrating, shorts aren’t panicking; both sides are holding steady. Open interest remains at 25.72 million contracts, showing leverage hasn’t been cleaned out, just no one dares to lead the charge.
Third, Binance account long-short ratio is 0.4793, OKX account long-short ratio is 0.41, retail traders are desperately shorting! Meanwhile, Binance top traders’ long-short ratio is 1.023, big players are adding longs. When retail and big players’ directions diverge sharply, it often signals manipulators are harvesting retail traders.
Fourth, the manipulators’ conspiracy: 1,285 is the "death gate" drawn by the manipulators! From the high of 1,698 on September 26 to the low of 1,112.77 on October 8, a 34.5% retracement, then a rebound to around 1,285 was immediately pushed back. 1,285 is the rebound ceiling; failing twice to break through means the rebound is basically over. Manipulators have filled the 1,240-1,285 range with short orders, waiting for retail traders chasing highs to rush in. $ZEC Funding Situation — ETF Outflows for Two Consecutive Weeks Totaling $124 Million, Whales Are Exiting!
First, ZEC spot ETFs have seen outflows for two consecutive weeks, with a net redemption total of $124 million. On October 14 alone, there was a net outflow of $5.1906 million, and the net asset value of ZEC spot ETFs dropped to $677 million. If bearish pressure intensifies, the $1,100 and $1,000 support levels may be retested or broken.
Second, whales have deposited to Coinbase for the first time in 10 months! Whale address t1Lyq transferred approximately $362.56 million worth of ZEC, of which $15 million was deposited into Coinbase. This is the first time in 10 months that this address has deposited to an exchange. Whales moving funds to exchanges is the clearest sign of impending sell-off!
Third, a wallet suspected to be linked to Bitkub co-founder sold 24,100 ZEC, worth about $18.5 million, and bought 238 BTC. Whales are rotating from ZEC to BTC — this is not good news for ZEC. $ZEC Macro and News Outlook — CPI Exceeds Expectations, Rate Hike Probability Soars to 95%!
First, the September CPI exceeding expectations is the biggest shock! The year-on-year 3.7% is higher than the expected 3.6%, and the core CPI 2.6% is above the expected 2.5%. After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in October doubled from about 22% to 43%, and the probability for December surged to about 95%. Bitcoin promptly fell below 83,000, with ZEC following the decline.
Second, the 10-year US Treasury yield is at 5.36%, the highest since 2002. The elevated long-term interest rates directly increase the holding costs for leveraged funds. Even if the Federal Reserve holds steady in October, risk assets will struggle to escape the heavy pressure of valuation contraction.
Third, the South Korean stock market plunged 6%, triggering cross-market deleveraging. The KOSPI index dropped over 6%, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell about 8% respectively, with market concerns over AI-related valuations acting as the catalyst. Tom Lee publicly warned that if broker margin liquidations and investor deleveraging occur simultaneously, major crypto assets like ETH and ZEC may face greater short-term selling pressure and volatility. September CPI year-on-year rose 3.7%, exceeding expectations. The expectation of a rate cut was eliminated, and the market directly switched to pricing in a longer duration of high interest rates. Tech stocks with high valuations are the first to come under pressure, and the strengthening dollar is pulling global funds into the U.S.
The Federal Reserve is facing a dilemma this time: continuing to raise rates risks problems first in the fragile sectors of commercial real estate and small to medium banks; not raising rates means the inertia of spiraling wages and prices cannot be broken. Both options are painful.
Everyone is blaming oil prices, but the real sticky factors are services and housing rents. These two items are insensitive to interest rates, and once prices rise, they are hard to reverse. Oil prices can fall back, but rents will not.
What’s more troublesome is the de-anchoring of inflation expectations. A one-time price jump is volatility, but when businesses and households start treating price increases as the norm, inflation shifts from a short-term issue to a structural expectation. At this stage, rate hikes can suppress demand but cannot suppress habits.
Therefore, the Fed is very likely not choosing whether to raise rates or not, but rather dragging between two bad options. Maintaining high interest rates longer, using rhetoric and occasional actions to suppress expectations. The market will face not a single directional move, but valuation pain and wide fluctuations.💥 Sisters, the bottom of $ETH is really being stripped away fast.
I'm not trying to be bearish, but institutions are running faster than rabbits.
Ethereum spot ETFs have seen net outflows for 9 consecutive trading days, totaling about $542 million, with BlackRock's ETHA alone accounting for about $477 million. Institutions are voting with their feet, while retail investors are still shouting "bulls will return quickly" in the groups.
The 1-hour MA5, MA10, and MA20 have already formed a death cross downward, and the MACD's DIF and DEA are both below the zero line, with the green bars stubbornly not retreating. It dropped from 2733 all the way down to 2405, now rebounding to around 2500, not even touching MA20.
On-chain is even more painful: Ethereum Foundation-related addresses transferred 4393 ETH to Kraken; meanwhile, F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun has recently been selling more WBTC to buy ETH, not simply transferring ETH into exchanges, so don't misread this. But when whales transfer coins to exchanges, it's usually a potential sell pressure signal.
Institutions are running, ETFs are bleeding, whether 2500 can hold really depends on whether there is volume to push it back tonight.
Don't stubbornly hold high-leverage long positions; if 2500 breaks, reduce your risk first. What level are you defending ETH at now? Let's talk in the comments👇
⚠️ Personal review, not investment advice.
#US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations 🔥 CPI directly smashed expectations! Tonight, the bears got to enjoy a win first.
US September CPI year-over-year at 3.7%, higher than the expected 3.6%; core CPI year-over-year at 2.6%, month-over-month at 0.3%, all exceeding expectations. The market was originally betting on core cooling down, but instead, core did not drop, reigniting rate hike expectations — the probability of a rate hike in October jumped from about 20% directly to around 40%-50%.
Energy is the main cause, with gasoline and diesel both rising, but this time it's not just "energy causing trouble"; the core month-over-month stayed at 0.3% without dropping, indicating price increases are spreading to other sectors.
Once the data dropped, gold plunged, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar rebounded, and US stock futures turned negative. For the crypto space, the real pressure is not the CPI numbers themselves, but whether US Treasury yields and the dollar continue to rise.
Looking at $ETH now, it's not surprising to see volatility before the data; if yields continue to surge after the data, short-term rebounds are easily suppressed; if yields fall back, ETH has a chance to retest upper resistance.
Don't hold high-leverage positions stubbornly tonight; the post-data spike is the harshest. Which level are you defending for ETH tonight? Let's talk in the comments? Let's talk in the comments👇

#US September CPI YoY rises to 3.7%, core inflation exceeds expectations $ETH CPI is the key to breaking the deadlock
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to fluctuate between 2,400-2,537. 2,506 is the short-term watershed—if volume breaks through, the target is 2,537-2,600; if it falls below 2,416, the target is 2,400-2,344. After CPI exceeds expectations, the market needs time to digest the rate hike pricing.
Medium term: If ETH holds the 2,400-2,420 support, with ETF funds flowing back and whales continuously accumulating, it is expected to challenge 2,537-2,600. But last week ETF outflows of 542 million + CPI exceeding expectations + whales being defensive— a pullback could happen at any time.
The biggest risk: CPI exceeding expectations pushes the rate hike probability to 43% + ETF outflows of 542 million last week + dense long liquidations below 2,400. Some analysis explains it well: "If broker margin liquidations and investor deleveraging occur simultaneously, major crypto assets like ETH may face greater selling pressure and volatility in the short term." At the 2,439 level, chasing highs is like sending New Year's gifts to the bears. Control your hands, wait for the direction to become clear before acting. Remember, surviving longer in crypto is ten thousand times more important than making more profit! Meeting adjourned!Very popular, but the three sets of accounts must be separated
#BTC spot ETF sees net outflow again, can institutional buying recover?
$ETH I'll first calculate the supply changes.
Base fees will be burned, validator rewards involve new issuance, and the specific issuance amount will also vary with the staking scale.
So after "someone uses the network," we still need to ask: how much is actually burned, and how much is newly issued?
If the number of transactions increases, but the fee per transaction decreases, the total burn amount may not increase correspondingly.
I prefer to track issuance and burning over the same period, then judge whether the supply has tightened. Picking only days with high burn numbers easily overlooks changes at other times and can mistake a phase phenomenon for a long-term trend.
For $BTC, I separate on-chain transfer volume and buying demand.
Fees mainly depend on the space occupied by the transaction, not the transfer amount, and fees are paid to miners.
Therefore, a large transfer does not directly prove someone is buying, nor can the direction of funds be judged solely by the amount.
When studying demand, I want to confirm whether there is new buying and continued holding, rather than interpreting every large movement as a price signal.
For $SOL, when creating a token account, a certain amount of funds must be reserved as storage balance, which can be reclaimed after closing accounts that meet the conditions.
This kind of fund occupation has its own purpose and an exit path.
So an increase in account numbers cannot be directly equated with a permanent reduction in circulating supply.
I look at account additions, closures, and net occupation simultaneously. More users coming in is worth noting, but how much actual usage demand remains requires further data explanation.$ETH Contract Data and the Dog Trader Conspiracy — $814 Million Liquidated, Bulls Bloodied
First, in the past 24 hours, the entire network saw $814 million liquidated, with long positions liquidated at $686 million, accounting for 84.3%. Ethereum long liquidations reached $143 million, nearly equal to Bitcoin's $142 million — the ETH derivatives market has higher leverage density and a more extreme concentration of bulls.
Second, the funding rate differences across exchanges have widened. Binance is at -0.0042%, Bitget at 0.0018%, Bybit at 0.0016%, while OKX is at 0; CoinEx is at -0.0702%. The market-wide average funding rate is approximately -0.0019%, superficially favoring shorts paying longs, but the account structure still clearly leans bullish: Binance long accounts make up 74.2%.
Third, the divergence between bullish accounts and bearish active trades. Only 37.5% of Binance's active trades are long, 62.6% are sell-side; OKX long trades are only 45.6%. Position holders are waiting for a rebound, but short-term funds are still selling — a typical "passive bulls holding the line, active bears applying pressure" structure.
Fourth, the dog trader's conspiracy: using the South Korean stock market crash as a trigger to liquidate leveraged longs. The dog trader exploited the South Korean stock market plunge to trigger cross-market deleveraging, smashing ETH from 2,579 down to 2,413 to trigger long liquidations, while quietly accumulating near 2,420. A large buy order was formed at $2,421.54, accounting for 81.1% of the top 5 buy orders, indicating technical support near 2,420. #Tesla Delivery Exceeds Expectations, Profit Recovery Becomes the Focus
The Boss Has Something to Say
Tesla released its Q3 earnings after the market closed on October 21. Deliveries reached 486,500 vehicles, exceeding market expectations, but still down 2.1% year-over-year. The market is now focused on two things: whether the automotive gross margin can recover, and if there are any new developments with Robotaxi and Optimus.
Exceeding delivery expectations does not mean profits exceed expectations. The price war is still ongoing; whether gross margins can rebound and cash flow can improve is key. If gross margins continue to be squeezed, Tesla’s stock price will be under pressure, tech stock sentiment will cool down, and Bitcoin will be indirectly affected. If gross margins recover and the AI business has new stories, risk appetite will warm up, which is mildly positive for crypto.
But Tesla is not a crypto asset; it cannot change Bitcoin’s direction. Bitcoin mainly depends on CPI and U.S. Treasury yields. September CPI was 3.7% year-over-year, core CPI 2.6%, both fully exceeding expectations. Inflation has risen for three consecutive months, rate hike expectations have intensified, U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and Bitcoin is under pressure.
I have already closed my long Bitcoin position at 84,000, locking in a profit of 1,200 points, and am currently flat. CPI exceeded expectations, so the short-term direction is bearish; I’m not in a hurry to go long. Support below is at 80,000; holding 82,000 means consolidation. Tesla’s earnings report is industry validation, not a directional switch. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
Don’t chase the rally or panic sell; wait for the market to fully digest the CPI data. Set your stop losses well.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop losses on your trades. Good luck.How many people got trapped during this drop of the three storage giants?
I've been watching the market for a few days and found a problem: the biggest drop areas are actually not the most dangerous places.
The real danger is that many people see continuous declines and think the drop is enough, but the funds have not truly returned.
$SNDK
Current price around 145, still weak in the short term.
Price continues to be under pressure, RSI is in a low area, indicating buying power has not fully recovered.
Resistance above is around 148-150, support below is around 140.
Without a volume breakout, the rebound looks more like a corrective move.
$SKHYNIX
Current price around 1070.
Recently affected by storage cycle adjustments, the trend is clearly weak.
The market is focusing on whether HBM demand can continue to support the AI storage logic.
Resistance above near 1120, support below around 1050.
If funds do not flow back, short-term still needs to wait.
$MU
Current price around 946.
Also in an adjustment phase, but AI server demand remains the biggest support.
Short-term focus on resistance at 973 and support at 930.
The biggest market controversy now is whether AI demand can continue to drive the storage cycle.
My judgment:
The storage sector cannot yet be simply defined as an opportunity or an end.
The real signal is not how much it has dropped, but when funds re-enter the market.
A rebound without fund support can easily become a false rally again. #TSMC Q3 revenue hits a new high, profit performance to be revealed 阿斯麦尔营收也不错，看这个月tsm和月末intel了，虽然现在半导体板块整体低迷，费城连跌，但我认为这个大概率是市场重新调整的一段时间，下个月antrophic上市，结合这段时间霍尔木兹海峡的混乱情况，股市估计会进入很长一段时间的调整期，就像上半年的深度调整一样，只不过上半年是去杠杆，而这半年是一场深度的价值重审，这次下跌不是结束，明年半导体估计还有一波大的行情，但是估计不会出现在存储，而是芯片代工制造，低点补仓英特尔，静待过程$SOXL The semiconductor decline is not over yet!!!
Currently, SOXL has fallen back to around 118, with a significant short-term drop. The possibility of a rebound on Thursday is also not low. However, there is a point worth noting: ASML's release shows that AI and semiconductor equipment demand is not bad, yet the market has not responded with corresponding buying support. Despite the positive news, the stock price continues to weaken, indicating that the pressure on semiconductors now is not just fundamentals, but also a large amount of profit-taking and valuation pressure accumulated earlier, coupled with rising US Treasury yields, making funds clearly unwilling to continue buying at high levels.
Thursday's TSMC earnings report is very critical. The market already has high expectations for AI demand growth, so good performance does not necessarily mean the stock price will rise. What really matters is whether the capital expenditure guidance can continue to exceed expectations, and whether funds will re-enter heavyweights like NVDA, AMD, and AVGO.
Personally, I tend to expect a rebound on Thursday first, with 121–126 being key levels to watch. If TSMC's positive news only brings a short-lived rally and semiconductor heavyweights do not see sustained buying, this rebound will likely be hard to maintain.
Looking ahead to Friday, I still lean towards SOXL falling back to around 113–117. If selling pressure continues to expand, 104–111 is also possible. Only if TSMC significantly exceeds expectations and inflation data cooperates, leading to sustained capital inflows in the semiconductor sector, will I change my current bearish view!Three types of people who are doomed to fail at rolling positions, with almost no exceptions
The indecisive: eager to take profits at a slight rise, quick to cut losses at minor pullbacks, hard to hold through major trends
The reckless leveragers: heavily leveraged all in at once, when the direction reverses and liquidation happens, they only blame the market
The over-traders: frequently thinking about rolling positions for compound interest, repeatedly opening trades, ending up with all profits eaten by fees
Sharing a rolling position strategy (extremely high risk, one wrong step leads to liquidation)
Step 1 - Initial position: prioritize BTC, ETH, SOL with ample liquidity, keep the first position under 20%, reserve most funds for key opportunities, refuse to go all in directly.
Step 2 - Adding positions: add only when price breaks previous high with volume expanding simultaneously, single add not exceeding 30% of total funds. Exit rules: close half if closing price falls below 7-day moving average, exit all if below 14-day moving average.
The biggest enemy of rolling positions is always greed. Continuing to add after reaching target profits, always trying to chase more gains, easily gives back all earned profits.
The market itself has no absolute right or wrong; many lose trades because execution fails to follow the plan, and after profits, they struggle to decisively take profits.
$ETH $BTC #US September CPI year-over-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations $BTC Normally, if it were really going to drop, with such a strong macro headwind, the main force would have at least pushed it down 8-10%, directly breaking below 75k, using the opportunity to liquidate the long positions below. But the main force did not do this. The Nasdaq dropped 1.2%, Bitcoin dropped 1.5%, so they clearly don't want to push it down. This is exactly what I have been saying before: wide-range oscillation, using sideways movement instead of a drop, which is a sign of strength. The main force is once again reminding everyone not to think about picking up chips at low prices. Therefore, at this time, I must take profit on hedging positions and focus on building positions.
Buying spot requires a plan. Everyone should plan ahead, place orders in advance, just wait for them to be filled, and then rest. Don't watch while walking, as it's easy to miss out $BTC Contract Data and the Dog Whales' Conspiracy—820 Million Liquidation Storm, Bulls Bloodied
First, in the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $814 million, with long position liquidations at $686 million, accounting for 84.3%. Ethereum long liquidations reached $143 million, nearly equal to Bitcoin's $142 million—ETH derivatives market has higher leverage density and a more extreme concentration of bulls.
Second, the direct trigger for the 800 million liquidation was the plunge in the South Korean stock market. On October 13 during the Asian trading session, the South Korean KOSPI index dropped over 6%, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix falling about 8% each. Concerns over AI-related valuations and competitive pressure from Chinese memory chip manufacturers were the catalysts. Approximately $595 million in liquidations occurred concentrated in the last 12 hours, closely matching the sell-off rhythm of the Seoul market.
Third, whales had already shifted to a defensive stance before the drop. Before liquidation, the whales' long-to-short position ratio was 0.87, with shorts accounting for 53.39%, while retail traders' long-to-short ratio was 0.5223 and sharply rising. The divergence structure between large holders reducing longs and opening shorts and retail chasing longs on dips had formed before the liquidation occurred.
Fourth, funding rates turned negative, with shorts paying longs. The current funding rate is about -0.0109%, meaning shorts pay longs, completely opposite to the bullish frenzy in October last year.
The Dog Whales' Conspiracy: Using the South Korean stock market crash as a trigger, they smashed BTC from 84,000 down to 81,000 to trigger long liquidations, while quietly accumulating at the low. 81,000 is a strong support at the 400-day moving average, with rapid rebounds after each pullback touch. The dog whales accumulate between 81,000-82,000, sell between 84,000-85,000, and retail picks up between 82,000-83,000—a complete harvesting chain. $BTC CPI is tonight's "trump card"
First, tonight's CPI data is the "trump card" that will decide life or death. The September ISM Services Prices Paid Index rose to 74.0, the highest since July 2022, and the University of Michigan's one-year inflation expectation for October rebounded to 4.7%. HTX Chief Analyst Cloud believes the probability of CPI exceeding expectations is high; if so, year-end rate hike pricing will be further strengthened, with the 81,000 support level taking the brunt.
Second, Fed voting member Harker sends a hawkish signal. Cleveland Fed President Harker clearly stated that smaller, more frequent rate adjustments are preferable to waiting and then being forced to make large corrections, and pointed out that inflationary pressures are not limited to the energy sector. AI infrastructure-driven demand for electricity and tech components, as well as related bond issuance demand, are all contributing to inflation. The probability of a rate hike in October is about 20%, but it has warmed compared to before Harker's speech.
Third, the 10-year US Treasury yield is 5.36%, the highest since 2002. The elevated long-term rates directly increase the holding costs for leveraged funds, and even if the Fed holds steady in October, risk assets will find it difficult to escape the heavy pressure of valuation contraction. 🔥 CPI directly smashed expectations! Tonight, the bears got to enjoy a win first.
US September CPI year-over-year at 3.7%, higher than the expected 3.6%; core CPI year-over-year at 2.6%, month-over-month at 0.3%, all exceeding expectations. The market was originally betting on core cooling down, but instead, core did not drop, reigniting rate hike expectations — the probability of a rate hike in October jumped from around 20% directly to about 40%-50%.
Energy is the main cause, with gasoline and diesel both rising, but this time it's not just "energy causing trouble"; the core month-over-month stayed at 0.3% without dropping, indicating price increases are spreading to other sectors.
Once the data was released, gold plunged, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar rebounded, and US stock futures turned negative. For the crypto space, the real pressure is not in the CPI numbers themselves, but whether US Treasury yields and the dollar continue to rise.
Looking at $ETH now, it's not surprising to see volatility before the data; if yields continue to surge after the data, short-term rebounds are likely to be suppressed; if yields fall back, ETH has a chance to retest upper resistance.
Don't hold high-leverage positions stubbornly tonight; the post-data spike can be the harshest. Which level are you defending for ETH tonight? Discuss in the comments👇
⚠️ Personal observation, not investment advice.
#US September CPI YoY rises to 3.7%, core inflation exceeds expectations $USELESS Today's big dump candle is worth analyzing.
At 12:00 it surged to 0.18323, then slid down over 11 hours
all the way to 0.16471, a retracement of 10.11%.
The key point isn't how much it fell, but how the volume changed:
At 20:00 the dump candle had 9.02 million U volume, a single candle down -3.21%
After that, volume collapsed:
7.43 million → 5.3 million → 1.1 million
The latest candle is only 12% of that dump candle's volume.
Selling pressure is visibly fading.
But I still hold, the space is skewed.
Downward, the 24h low at 0.16324 is only 0.89% away
Upward, reaching the 24h high requires 11.24%
Returning to MA20 (0.1727) needs 4.83%
Going down near the floor yields less than 1% profit
So you have to bet on it breaking the 96h low at 0.16124.
No basis for a rebound upward:
MA20 resistance above at 4.83%, MA60 at 7.91%
The bearish alignment hasn't been broken by a single candle.
Funding rate +0.0188% per period, annualized 20.6%
Price dropped like this, yet bulls are still paying.
No clean liquidation, so no bottom yet.
Two observation markers:
Volume recovery above 0.1727, then structure breaks
Breaking below 0.16124 means the next step down
Neither has happened yet.
I’m not making a move tonight.
(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)Dogecoin ETF delisted in less than a year: Is it a community issue or a product issue?
Today, the first Dogecoin ETF officially stopped trading. From launch to termination, it lasted less than a year.
Many people ask me what this means. To start with the conclusion: it's a product issue, the community is not to blame.
Let's look at the numbers. Before closing, this ETF's assets were only $726,000, not even enough to fill a large investor's wallet. The issuer's CEO made it clear: traditional investors who buy funds and those who use coins on-chain are fundamentally two different groups. To translate: it's not that no one wants Dogecoin, it's that the packaging didn't reach the right hands.
The failure of the ETF essentially stems from a mismatch between traditional financial narratives and crypto-native culture. Traditional investors value compliance, stability, and predictable returns, while Dogecoin's value foundation lies in community consensus, cultural identity, and on-chain activity. When an asset that started as "fun" is dressed in a serious financial suit, it loses the most charming part of its soul.
More importantly, this ETF never truly reached Dogecoin's core users. On-chain data shows daily active addresses continue to grow, the DApp ecosystem covers multiple scenarios including gaming and retail, and the community's social media followers exceed 4 million—these are the real manifestations of Dogecoin's vitality. The ETF's quiet trading precisely indicates it failed to become a bridge connecting the two worlds and instead became a dividing wall.
#US September CPI year-over-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations ETF outflows, how does that directly turn into "institutions no longer trust BTC"?
Whenever the market experiences a pullback, headlines like "institutions massively selling off" and "capital fleeing in panic" always appear, and the most commonly cited evidence is the net outflow of Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs on certain days. For example, Farside data shows that on October 12, US BTC and ETH spot ETFs had net outflows of $65.4 million and $85.4 million respectively. The numbers are indeed striking, but the question is: does this really equal "institutions no longer trust BTC"?
First, ETFs are just one tool for holding crypto assets; they do not distinguish who the buyers are. The fund names and amounts listed in the tables cannot tell us whether the sellers are pension funds, registered investment advisors (RIAs), family offices, or ordinary retail brokerage accounts. Blanketly attributing all redemptions to "institutional behavior" is a typical attribution error.
Second, what truly reflects some institutional holdings trends are the 13F filings required by the SEC. These quarterly reports are usually submitted within 45 days after the end of each quarter and disclose holdings of qualifying institutional investors in US stocks and ETFs. But 13F filings also have limitations: they do not cover all institutions (for example, some hedge fund positions are exempt), and the data is delayed, making it unsuitable for real-time judgment. 【法老看盘】
CPI 3.7%超预期，核心也干到2.6%，大饼是不是要直接崩了？
法老直接说，别被表面数字吓到，这次超预期最要命的是“核心通胀也抬头了”，这比油价那点事严重得多。 数据一出，大饼直接从83,900被砸到81,850附近。
核心CPI环比0.3%高于预期的0.2%，同比2.6%也比市场想的2.5%高。这意味着通胀不只是油价在闹，底层价格压力也在扩散。2年期美债收益率瞬间飙了13个基点，市场重新开始押注10月加息，概率从不到22%跳升到超过50%。
短期就是“抽血+踩踏”双杀。 加息预期一回来，美元走强，风险资产集体挨锤。大饼下方关键看81,500到80,000这个区域能不能撑住，守不住就得去79,000找妈妈。上方压力回落到83,000到83,500
操作上别急着抄底。 数据刚出，市场还在消化，插针行情没完。等回踩81000附近出现放量止跌信号再轻仓试多，止损79800，知音82700-83500附近！
记住，核心通胀超预期是硬伤，美联储有理由继续鹰。$BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 The market generally bets on a pause in rate hikes in October, but traders known as "greater-fools" are still increasing their short $BTC bets. From yesterday to today, they have invested about $4,381: predicting the market will "fall to 65,000 by year-end" with 136,100 contracts (implied probability 22.5%, valued at $30,600); and "fall to 70,000 by year-end" with 55,800 contracts (probability 35.5%, valued at $19,800).
Even more aggressive is Hyperliquid, who still holds 26.97 BTC short positions (average price 69,962, valued at $2.25 million), currently with an unrealized loss of $365,200, struggling to hold.
Tonight's US September CPI is critical. If inflation exceeds expectations, the market will reprice tightening, which could become a short-term pressure source for BTC.
In the mid-term view, institutional selling pressure has not stopped; this position is an extreme battleground between bulls and bears. Don't blindly chase; hold your chips and wait for direction.

#September CPI announced tonight, Federal Reserve rate hike divergence awaits resolution #US September CPI YoY rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations Inflation is rising again, the crypto space needs to recalculate this funding account
Oil prices have risen, and the pressure ultimately passed on to the financial markets. The US September CPI released tonight rose 3.7% YoY, higher than the previous 3.4% and the expected 3.6%; core CPI rose 2.6% YoY, also exceeding the expected 2.5%. For funds expecting a looser monetary environment, this data is clearly unfriendly.
Looking closely at the components, gasoline rose 9.1% MoM, contributing more than half of the overall monthly increase. But housing prices also rose 0.4% MoM, and core CPI rose 0.3% MoM, unchanged from last month. Energy is the main driver, and other price pressures have not disappeared.
The market has already started repricing: after the data release, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar strengthened, and expectations for further Fed rate hikes increased. However, inflation exceeding expectations does not necessarily mean a rate hike at the next meeting; subsequent employment and price data remain key.
My view is that BTC will next depend on whether it can withstand this funding pressure. With the dollar and US Treasury yields continuing to rise, any rebound will require real buying support. Especially for contracts, do not take the first candlestick after the data release as confirmation of direction; wait for the volatility to settle and see the support before deciding whether to act. You can miss the market, but don’t let your position be driven by a single news item. @OKX Planet Why is everything dumping today?
Almost $1.3 Trillion has been wiped out from the stocks, metals, and crypto in just 2 hours.
Key reasons:
1. US CPI hits a 4-month high, while the Core CPI hits a 3-month high.
2. October rate hike odds jumped to 51.3%.
3. DXY spiked to its highest level in 18 months.
3. US 5Y bond yield hits a 19-year high.CPI really exploded.
At 8:30 PM when the data came out, BTC directly dropped from 83,500 to 81,676, a big 4-hour bearish candle, down nearly 2,000 dollars. Now at 81,863, it hasn't stopped yet.
MA5, MA10, and MA20 are all overhead; that drop just broke through the consolidation box that lasted a week.
Of the two scenarios mentioned before, the worst one happened: core CPI also exceeded expectations. The 23% probability of a rate hike in October will probably surge back tonight.
Next to watch is the previous low at 80,400. If it holds, a double bottom could trigger another bounce; if it doesn't hold, the next support is the 80,000 round number, and below that, 78,000.
Don't bottom-fish tonight. The data just came out, and the sentiment hasn't fully released yet. Wait until tomorrow morning to see if 80,400 holds before making a move.
Go to bed early; tomorrow morning will bring another liquidation story.Both tokens are down, but positioning differs. $PENGU: $7.35M longs vs $5.56M shorts. Longs are down $635K, while shorts hold +$471K. $TRUMP: $12.2M shorts vs $9.32M longs. Shorts are up $1.78M, while longs are down $1.69M. 30m flow: $PENGU: $68K buying vs $34K selling. $TRUMP: $108K buying vs $109K selling $PENGU shows stronger buying pressure, which could support a rebound. $TRUMP remains short-heavy, with no clear shift in momentum yet🚨 Brothers, the real risk in the crypto market tonight might not be in the candlesticks, but in the Federal Reserve!
I just looked at a set of interest rate expectation data, and the changes behind it are worth watching.
📉 October: Rate hike expectations suddenly rise. The probability of keeping rates unchanged is 77.3%, but the chance of a 25 basis point hike has already increased to 22.7%. A month ago, the market barely considered a rate hike; now the wind has clearly shifted.
⚠️ December expectations are even more aggressive. The probability of a 25 basis point hike reaches 68.7%, and a 50 basis point hike is at 19.1%. According to this data, the market’s bet on no rate hike in December is only 12.2%.
What does this mean?
Previously, everyone expected liquidity from rate cuts, but now concerns about rising rates are growing. Once funds shift to risk-off, high-volatility assets like BTC and SOL will naturally struggle to break through easily.
The most critical thing coming up is the CPI data:
🔥 If inflation exceeds expectations, bets on rate hikes may continue to heat up, and the crypto space could face renewed pressure.
📈 If inflation is below expectations, the market might readjust rate expectations, giving risk assets a chance to breathe.
My view is simple: don’t rush to guess the market’s rise or fall tonight. First, watch the inflation data, then see if BTC can withstand the pressure. The real danger isn’t missing out, but blindly leveraging before the macro direction is clear.
Brothers, do you think this CPI will make the market see hope for rate cuts again, or further strengthen rate hike expectations?
#Bitcoin #Fed $BCH
BCH recovery is stronger than BTC; is payment usage the only driver?
Today's midday spot 24-hour observation window: range 267.5—282.4 USDT, change +3.43%, trading volume about 3.7 million USDT.
Within the same window, elasticity provides relative performance but cannot confirm real settlement or merchant adoption changes. Market recovery, reduced prior selling pressure, and independent demand could all cause the rise; usage alone cannot explain it.
If BTC remains stable but BCH falls below 267.5, reduce independent relay; if real settlement improves and maintains above 282.4 after recovery, then increase economic demand assessment. #BofA survey reveals stock-bond divergence, BlackRock increases short-term bond allocation ahead of time The latest Bank of America fund manager survey clearly reflects the current institutional divergence in stock and bond expectations: many fund managers still maintain overweight positions in U.S. stocks and AI tech stocks, betting on a soft landing and high computing power demand; but at the same time, a large number of respondents rank the disorderly rise in U.S. Treasury yields as the top tail risk, maintaining underweight positions in bonds, worried that high interest rates will continue to impact valuations.
BlackRock, however, offers a different allocation answer: it has raised its short-term U.S. Treasury allocation to overweight while lowering U.S. stocks from overweight to neutral, a typical "realizing some stock gains and shifting to short-term bonds to lock in coupon income" strategy. The logic is that short-term bonds offer attractive coupons and lower duration risk, so even if the Fed maintains high interest rates, the drawdown is controllable; in its view, the market's pricing of further rate hikes is overly aggressive, and the risk-reward ratio of short-term bonds already surpasses that of stocks.
Translating to the crypto market, this signals a convergence in risk appetite. Leading asset managers are actively reducing equity exposure and embracing risk-free returns, and the opportunity cost of capital logic will suppress high-beta assets like BTC, ETH, and others. If more large asset managers follow suit in rebalancing, the rebound potential for risk assets will be limited; but if inflation data continues to decline and rate cut expectations return, this "stock-to-bond" rotation logic will reverse again.
Key follow-up points: short-term U.S. Treasury yields, CPI and other inflation data, and whether other leading asset managers' allocation views converge. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 73.7% betting on a rate hike, short position on ETH at 2511 finally got the chance
After the core CPI exploded to 0.3% at 8:30, the market's reaction was more honest than the data itself—no one is talking about rate cuts now, everyone is rushing to bet on rate hikes.
Latest CME FedWatch data: The probability of at least two rate hikes before the end of January 2027 has surged to 73.7%, while the probability of maintaining the current rate is only 1.2%; the probability of a 25 basis point hike in October jumped from 21.6% before the data to 43.7%, doubling, and some are even pricing in three more hikes by the end of 2027.
This explains why BTC plunged right after touching 84000. Before the data, many were shouting "bad news is priced in, rate cuts are coming," with longs fully loaded; but with core at 0.3% and overall at 3.7%, both exceeding expectations, the logic reversed overnight—from "when will rate cuts happen" to "how many hikes will there be," turning the previously positioned bulls into fuel for a stampede.
The market doesn't lie:
$BTC
Failed to hold 84000, already dropped below 82000, after breaking 82200, next targets are 80900 and 80000
$ETH
ETH is even more straightforward, broke 2500 directly, now around 2420
Sharing a position: My ETH short entry was at 2511, now at 2420, 91 points profit secured

During a rate hike cycle, rebounds are not buying opportunities, they are giving shorts some points. Don't rush to catch the first spike $UNI Actually, deep down I really want to keep buying the dip and going long, but my instinctive reaction to $UNI's upcoming trend is still worry! A few days ago, when it was above 8 dollars, I bought some at the bottom. There are brothers in the comment section with similar cost bases. Fortunately, they all strictly set stop losses, so the losses should not be large. What I want to say is, the bottoming point for $UNI might still need to be watched at 6 dollars! It has dropped from 10.95 to 7.2 now, a decline of 34%. Although this is an acceptable level, the recent bearish candlestick bodies are clearly much larger than the bullish ones, indicating there are still more sell orders, and the short-term moving averages have been suppressing the price, making it tough for the bulls! From a fundamental perspective, UNI is certainly a quality asset. Whether it's revenue or the buyback and burn model, it satisfies the market. Moreover, while other decentralized exchanges have seen severe revenue declines, UNI remains resilient, which highlights its uniqueness! To sum up UNI in one sentence: it's hard to stop the decline in the short term, but worth investing in for the long term!
