900 billion computing power commitments, beyond the hype, costs must be considered
Seeing nearly $900 billion in computing power commitments, it becomes clear that AI development is not just about storytelling but also about paying the bills. Anthropic still aims to push forward with its IPO in November, but potential investors are more selective about valuations.
An example on the market is $TAO: on November 7 at 12:00 UTC, about $225.08, 24h +0.42%; Binance contracts at 09:00 show open interest around $53.5 million. A slight rise does not mean the AI sector is broadly warming up.
At the same time, $AKT is about $0.6428, 24h -1.16%. The theme is reasonable but doesn’t mean funds recognize it today.
So don’t rush to conclusions: financing costs and infrastructure expenses may affect overall tech valuations, but crypto computing power tokens do not automatically benefit proportionally.
If you really want to verify the AI sector strengthening, you should see more than one token increasing volume to keep pace, rather than just a few headlines repeatedly trending.
Would you look at computing power order fulfillment, or first check token market trading and leverage?
#Anthropic仍计划11月IPO，投资者下调估值预期 #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% Code bugs can be fixed, but consensus collapse is hard to save: The essential difference between the Ethereum and CORE crises
Both suffered major security incidents and relied on hard forks to fix vulnerabilities. Ethereum grew stronger through the fire, while CORE plunged into a liquidity crisis. The biggest gap between the two has never been the code itself. The Ethereum DAO crisis had vulnerabilities at the DApp application layer, while the underlying public chain protocol remained intact. After the incident, the community engaged in thorough debate, and miners, developers, and exchanges formed a strong consensus. Even though ETC split off, the vast majority of ecosystem participants chose to follow the main chain, and the crisis instead tempered the consensus. CORE’s reward vulnerability directly hit the L1 underlying token distribution mechanism. More fatal was the project’s already weak consensus foundation: only 21 validator nodes, insufficient decentralization, and a community mostly composed of speculators driven by narratives rather than long-term builders. After the vulnerability was exposed, the market immediately worried about inflationary sell pressure, compounded by 69 million ghost tokens looming overhead, exchanges adjusting support, and competition siphoning off BTCFi track users, causing confidence to quickly collapse. Bugs can be fixed through hard forks, but once investors’ trust in project governance and economic models collapses, it is difficult to rebuild. Technical defects can still be repaired, but consensus disintegration is the most irreversible deadlock. #US Crypto Regulation: "CLARITY Act" Progress Stalled, 401(k) Rules Enter Final Review ⚠️ Nonfarm Payrolls Exceed Expectations but Can't Shake Gold or BTC! The Market Isn't Really Waiting for Rate Hikes
October nonfarm payrolls significantly exceeded expectations, showing strong employment resilience, which pushed up the probability of a Fed rate hike in December, with the dollar and US Treasury yields rising together. According to traditional interest rate logic, assets sensitive to real rates like gold and BTC should be under pressure, but the market showed a counterintuitive move: after the data release, there was only a brief quick dip before bottoming and rebounding; the negative news failed to break key support and instead reversed to rally.
The core of this abnormal move is that the market's pricing logic switched in advance. This nonfarm report is a "boot dropping" type of negative news; the market had already priced in a weakening expectation beforehand, so when the data was released, shorts took profits en masse, quickly easing selling pressure and supporting prices. Nonfarm payrolls are just a reference; the real determinant for December rate hikes is the November CPI. Before the inflation data is out, funds won't bet unilaterally on rate hikes; safe-haven buying supports gold and BTC to hedge against the pressure from high rate expectations.
Do not blindly short at key support levels; the downside support is strong, and shorting risks being stopped out by volatility. Conservative traders can continue to wait and watch, check their stop losses, and consider positioning only after CPI and rate decision signals become clear.
$BTC $ETH $SOL 69 million ghost chips hanging overhead: Is the CORE reward vulnerability really just a simple code bug?
CORE exposed a validator reward duplication vulnerability, with a total of 255 million CORE tokens released prematurely. After a hard fork, about 186 million were recovered, but approximately 69 million have already spread to external wallets, becoming ghost chips that cannot be directly reclaimed, continuously suppressing market sentiment.
Many people simply attribute the incident to a single line of code error, but the hidden risks go far beyond that. The vulnerability occurred in the L1 underlying block reward accounting logic, directly touching the token issuance rules, representing a defect at the economic model level. The entire network only sets 21 validator nodes, with highly concentrated nodes and inherent decentralization deficiencies, embedding risk hazards from the protocol's initial design.
Compared to the Ethereum DAO incident: Ethereum's vulnerability was an upper-layer DApp contract issue with a solid underlying layer; CORE's problem lies in the chain's own block reward mechanism. Coupled with competition pressure from BTCFi track rivals, long-term low on-chain Gas revenue, and continuous liquidity contraction, the selling pressure expectation caused by ghost chips further amplifies panic.
The code bug is only the surface; the underlying architectural flaws, governance centralization, and compounded downward cycle are the real fatal roots. One vulnerability exposed the project's long-hidden weaknesses to the market all at once.US October Nonfarm Payrolls Released:
New jobs added 165,000 (expected 65,000), unemployment rate 4.1%, wage growth higher than expected, previous two months' data revised upward, labor market resilience exceeds expectations
Market reaction: CME shows December rate hike probability rising to 77%-80% for a 25bp increase; US Treasury yields surged, US stocks diverged, growth stocks under pressure
Several Fed officials stated they do not rule out further rate hikes, while warning of inflation risks brought by AI
Nonfarm payrolls only raise the probability of a rate hike, not a certainty; the key will be the October CPI on November 11

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Why can Ethereum be reborn from the same type of vulnerability, while CORE heads towards liquidity exhaustion?
The two crises appear similar on the surface, but the vulnerability levels and fundamental bases are completely different, ultimately leading to opposite outcomes.
In the 2016 DAO attack, the vulnerability existed only in the upper-layer DApp contracts; Ethereum's underlying protocol remained intact. The stolen funds were subject to a lock-up period of several tens of days, giving the community ample time to respond. After thorough network-wide debate, a hard fork was implemented to roll back the assets. Although ETC split off, the vast majority of hash power and exchanges chose to follow the main chain. The consensus was tempered and became stronger, and the liquidity foundation was not shaken.
CORE's current excessive release vulnerability directly hits the L1 underlying reward issuance mechanism, which is a native defect of the public chain. There are only 21 validator nodes on the entire network, resulting in inherent decentralization deficiencies. After the vulnerability was exposed, multiple leading exchanges suspended deposits and withdrawals, directly impacting liquidity; meanwhile, some excess tokens have already entered the market, creating selling pressure. The hard fork can only upgrade forward and cannot fully roll back transactions, leaving unresolved outstanding chips.
Coupled with long-term meager on-chain Gas revenue and competition siphoning in the BTCFi sector, market confidence continues to collapse.
Essentially: Ethereum was wounded at the application layer, with upward momentum; CORE has problems in the underlying economic model and is already in a downward cycle. The crisis is just a magnifier, and the outcome of liquidity exhaustion had long been foreshadowed.$BTC and $ETH long positions borrowing is very crowded, but don't mistake borrowing ratio as a countdown to a crash
In the data from early morning, BTC long borrowing was 1864.85 BTC, short borrowing only 50.9 BTC, about 36.6:1; ETH long borrowing was 17,600 ETH, short borrowing 663.81 ETH, about 26.5:1. Long positions are indeed very crowded in the borrowing channel.
But borrowing is just one way to leverage; shorts can directly open perpetuals or options, not necessarily through borrowing. So "short borrowing is low" does not mean "shorts have no positions," nor does it mean the whole market long-short ratio is dozens to one.
What BTC and ETH should really focus on are funding rates, open interest, and key support levels. Borrowing ratio only indicates long position crowding; crowding is a risk but not a timing signal. Before panicking, first understand what it measures.
This is only a data review and does not constitute investment advice. #BTC现货ETF年内累计净流出约4.16亿美元 $BTC This round of liquidations is a leverage washout, not a faith washout
$BTC dropped to around 75,700, with over $1 billion liquidated in 24 hours, mostly long positions. But unusually: the funding rate hasn't turned negative, and Binance's BTC long-short account ratio actually rose to 2.16. This indicates that high-leverage positions were liquidated, not bullish logic—bottom-fishers are still holding.
The real drag is the ETF: about $1.28 billion net outflow in November, with no institutional support for the rebound. Whales covered 3,009 BTC worth about $228 million, but that's only a bit more than half of the previous sell volume, so don't take it as a reversal signal.
So in the short term, don't just watch liquidation amounts; watch 7.5–7.7: holding this range means leverage cleanup, losing it could mean a second cleanup of bottom-fish positions. Liquidation is the result, funding rate is the attitude; if the funding rate doesn't turn negative, don't rush to say surrender. #BTC现货ETF年内累计净流出约4.16亿美元 A 25x full-position long was mercilessly taken by the market, a scene more heartbreaking than the candlestick chart. Do you think leverage is just a numbers game? Just finished reviewing this set of positions, and my heart skipped a beat. A whale opened a 540 ETH long position at 2304 with 25x full leverage, nominally about $1.21 million, but before the price even approached the 2203 liquidation line, the position was already taken by the system. On the other side, the largest short holder took 5318 ETH short, nominally about $11.94 million, also 25x leverage, with an average entry price of 2269 and a liquidation price at 7907, with unrealized profits accounting for more than 60% of their gains. At the same time, same coin, same leverage multiple, but the outcomes are two different worlds. What concerns me most is not who wins or loses, but the derivative structure signal revealed here: the long side's margin for error is extremely narrow, while the short side's margin buffer is absurdly thick. This means the current ETH leverage balance clearly favors the sellers; any upward spike could first trigger long stop-losses, then create short covering pressure. The difference between initiation and distribution lies here—the real initiation phase sees the liquidation map gradually shift above the price; right now, the dense liquidation zone still hangs below, indicating the market is closer to a post-divergence exhaustion phase rather than a clean continuation. A bullish path also exists: once spot buying takes over, the shorts' 60% unrealized profits become the most fragile chips, and a short squeeze could come fast and fierce. But the risk is equally straightforward—survival rate for 25x full positions is inherently low, and if BTC fails to drive risk appetite, altcoins will follow down, and ETH's 如果周末你也在盯盘，大概会和我一样，被 $BTC 那根几乎拉直的线弄得有点走神。 这到底是没人愿意接单的底部，还是大家都在等一个确认？ 这几天价格贴着 75,900 附近来回磨，振幅窄得像用尺子画出来的。周末本来就清淡，期权痛点又几乎压在现价附近，买方卖方都没什么动力把方向推出去。我看到的不是"稳"，更像一种集体按兵不动：想追的人怕追在半山腰，想空的人又怕周末突然来一根针。FOMO 没有消失，只是被低波动暂时按住了，叙事疲劳倒是很明显，群里聊来聊去都是"等确认"。 这里有个容易忽略的点：低波动从来不等于底部信号。真正的底部往往伴随成交量突然放大、情绪崩到不敢看盘，而不是周末这种慢慢横着磨。现在市场实际在交易的，是"谁先忍不住"这件事。偏多的一边会想，卖压枯竭、痛点集中，只要有一点增量就能往上捅一下；偏空的一边则盯着量能，觉得没有恐慌盘就没有干净筹码。两边都有道理，但都没被验证。 传导到节奏上，$BTC 横太久，ETH 和山寨更容易先失去耐心，资金偏好会变得更短、更挑叙事，追高的容错率反而下降。所以我现在更在意风险管理，而不是猜方向：仓位有没有留出被针扎的空间，止损是不是放在结构外，盈利1491 brothers +665%, win rate 83%, very impressive. But the profit leaderboard only shows results, not the process: left-side layout first bears the order, margin fluctuates drastically, maximum single loss, proportion of replenishment funds, whether there has been liquidation.
High leverage order sharing most easily creates three illusions: mistaking unrealized profit for ability, mistaking long-short positions for hedging, mistaking leverage for method. Cross-asset long-short correlations change, and full-position margin is shared; true drawdown control lies in single order risk limits, isolated margin per position, unrealized profit protection, and reserved funds, not the word "hedging."
So don’t rush to copy 25x. First ask: how much do you lose if you make one mistake? Can you survive three consecutive mistakes? Is your replenishment fund sufficient? Can you sleep through the maximum drawdown?
You can look at the profit leaderboard, but don’t treat it as a strategy manual. Don’t go all-in when opening a position; it’s the premise of staying in the game. #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 At 2:40 AM, I was waiting for my clothes to finish washing at the self-service laundromat near my residence. I was the only person in the store. Three washing machines were running side by side, producing a steady sound like some large animal snoring while asleep. One of the fluorescent tubes was flickering every ten seconds or so due to a poor connection, stretching and shrinking the shadows on the wall. I sat on a plastic chair, holding a laundry token in my hand, flipping it back and forth like a coin with no heads or tails. The clothes still needed twenty minutes. I took out my phone and opened the options chain. Data scrolled down line by line. NVDA 186.64. AMD 449.04. MU 690.00. SNDK 835.06. Four numbers, four breaths. The washing machine spun once, the numbers jumped, spun again, jumped again. I stared at them for a long time, long enough for the flickering tube to finally stabilize and stop flashing. The first thing I read that early morning was four words: all four positions negative. Net GEX, all four positions were negative. NVDA -11.1M, MU -8.2M. What does negative GEX mean? It means market makers hold negative gamma exposure. In plain language: they are forced to chase rallies and sell into declines. When prices fall, they sell; when prices rise, they buy. They are amplitude amplifiers, not stabilizers. Next week, there will be no mean-reverting stabilizers. Declines will accelerate, rebounds will be sharp. Amplification in both directions. This is not a prediction. This is structure. Structure is stronger than prediction. Like the water in the washing machine, no matter what you think, it will only flow toward the drain. I continued reading. Four positions at resistance levels. 11-On November 5, the U.S. Department of Labor's EBSA submitted the final rule No. 1210-AC38 to the White House OIRA for review, marking the last administrative hurdle for whether 401(k) plans can allocate to crypto assets. This is not a directly celebratory positive— but the market may be underestimating its structural significance. 401(k) is the largest retirement savings channel in the U.S., with assets measured in trillions of dollars. In the past, the Department of Labor has always been cautious or even warning about crypto assets entering retirement accounts. Now that the rule text has entered White House review, it means moving from "attitude" to "framework," opening a legal channel for long-term funds. The logic is similar to institutional demand for spot ETFs: once implemented, mainstream assets like $BTC and $ETH will be the first to be accepted. But the pace must be clear. The final rule still needs to complete review and publication, usually with a transition period before taking effect. Real capital inflows will take time. Short-term prices are more likely to reflect sentiment recovery rather than actual fund arrivals. Reading "rule submitted for review" directly as "trillions of dollars about to buy in" is a typical narrative jump. What is really worth watching are two details: first, the allocation cap, custody standards, and due diligence requirements— the clearer the terms, the easier the execution; second, the publication and effective dates. If the final version retains enough flexibility, the imagination space for long-term fund entry will significantly expand. For $BTC and $ETH, the direction is positive, but the trigger conditions lie in the text details, not the headline. A one-sentence shareable judgment: the crypto channel for 401(k) is moving from "policy ZEC: Sharp Drop Deleveraging, Buyers at Low Levels
ZEC keeps falling even after hitting the foot, but there are buyers at the low levels. It dropped 6.33% in 24 hours, just 1.04% above today's low of 1,235. The 1-hour RSI is 32.54 oversold, with a volume ratio of 4.96 indicating a surge in volume. Positions cut by 9.67% in one day, the most intense deleveraging, but it has rebounded 3.34% in the last 3 hours. Net capital outflow in 24 hours is still 88.61 million, retail account ratio fell from 0.96 to 0.92, leaning bearish. Buyers pick up when it drops, but overall money is still flowing out throughout the day.
ETH: Retail Buyers Hold Firm, Main Players Withdraw
ETH is quiet, down only 0.33% in 24 hours, 0.48% above today's low of 2,220, with little market movement. Positions of 1.512 billion withdrew 2.28% in 24 hours, net capital outflow of 216 million. Retail account ratio is 3.26, strongly bullish, while large accounts have a long-short ratio of 0.89, not following or slightly bearish. Money is withdrawing, retail buyers hold, main players do not follow; this is retail holding firm. Liquidations near zero, no one got wiped out.
BTC: The Quietest, Money Left Early
BTC is quieter than the other two, moving only -0.30% in 24 hours, with an amplitude of 0.91% and volume ratio of 0.56, almost no fluctuation. Positions of 2.616 billion withdrew only 1.14% in 24 hours, with a 0.51% rebound in the last 3 hours, price barely moved. Net capital outflow in 24 hours is 422 million, more than the other twoNonfarm payrolls explode, what’s the outlook for BTC and ETH!!!
This time, nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000, while the expectation was only 65,000, greatly exceeding expectations. The unemployment rate fell and wages rose simultaneously, typical hawkish data. After the data release, the probability of a December rate hike quickly rose, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened, and liquidity tightening expectations suppressed BTC and ETH.
BTC: As the core of the market and highly correlated with the Nasdaq, it first quickly dipped after the data release, with long leverage positions concentratedly liquidated. Spot ETF funds are prone to outflows, and once support levels are broken, selling pressure will accelerate; however, BTC’s larger scale and deeper institutional holdings mean its downside elasticity is less than ETH’s. Check stop-loss protections around 74,000.
ETH: Has stronger high Beta characteristics, combined with DeFi and derivatives leverage positions, its volatility is significantly greater than BTC’s. Rising interest rates increase funding costs, DeFi funds will contract, bearish for the ETH ecosystem, and the pullback is usually larger than BTC’s. Focus on the 2200 support level.
Market rhythm: The data release is a bearish realization. The first wave was the instant sharp drop killing longs at the moment of data release; the second phase is to observe whether U.S. Treasury yields can continue to rise, and check the defensive pullback price level for ETH positions.#

On November 7, Musk announced that SpaceX's annualized revenue by the end of this year would exceed $100 billion, but he specifically added a disclaimer: this is a "personal expectation, not a commitment."
Elon Musk directly revealed the key: the surge is driven not by Starlink or launches, but by AI computing power. Q3 revenue was 14.6 billion (annualized about 58 billion), with AI alone generating 7.6 billion in a single quarter, an 830% year-over-year surge, surpassing traditional business.
However, there is a significant weakness. Anthropic alone contributed 34.5% of Q3 revenue. The customer base is highly concentrated, meaning that if Q4 aims for nearly 25 billion, any hesitation from major clients could collapse the valuation logic. $BTC $SNDK $ZEC Complete CORE Coin Trust Breakdown: From Mobile Mining Hype to Multiple Incidents, Ultimately Losing Trust and Being Delisted
Many people initially participated in CORE attracted by the narrative of “zero-cost mobile mining, fair distribution, consensus by computing power, the next Bitcoin,” only to end up deeply trapped in losses. The root cause is not short-term market fluctuations but the project team's continuous breach of trust, with promises severely disconnected from reality, gradually eroding participant trust layer by layer until consensus completely collapses.
1. Initial Stage: Mobile Mining as a Traffic-Generating Packaging, Planting the First Seed of Broken Trust
1. Slogan: Everyone can mine with a mobile phone, low threshold, fair distribution, no private pre-mining, emphasizing decentralization and fair coin minting, attracting many ordinary retail investors who hoped to hold coins long-term.
2. Reality:
The so-called mobile mining is not true PoW computing power mining; mostly it is a check-in or task-based points release mechanism, with computing power just a packaging term.
Mining rules can be unilaterally adjusted by the project team: reducing output, lowering rewards, changing release cycles, with ordinary users having no say.
Many spent time idling or recruiting others to promote, investing significant time and effort, but early expected generous returns kept shrinking.
The core harm at this step: using the story of “fair mining” to attract traffic, but output rules are not rigidly constrained by on-chain hard rules, allowing the project team to modify them arbitrarily, causing early trust to start depreciating.
2. Exchange Listing Stage: Expectations Maximized, Fulfillment Continuously Discounted
Before listing, hype was intense: immediate surge upon listing, scarcity deflation, public chain ecosystem implementation.
But after listing, problems emerged one after another:
1. Token release schedule inconsistent with whitepaper claims, unlocking volume far exceeding expectations, continuous selling pressure;
2. Ecosystem progress seriously delayed, promised public chain functions, DApps, and ecosystem partnerships repeatedly postponed or missed deadlines;
3. Price surged quickly then steadily declined, with early mining teams and whales concentrating sales, leaving ordinary retail investors to buy at high prices.
Retail investor psychology shifted: from expecting to get rich quickly → confused by delays → gradually realizing the project team’s verbal promises lack strong constraints.
3. Multiple "Unexpected Incidents" Accelerated Trust Collapse (The Most Damaging Phase)
The multiple thefts, contract vulnerabilities, and security incidents you experienced were not just technical bad luck but compounded by the project team’s mishandling, amplifying broken trust:
1. Staking contract thefts, large asset losses, massive token outflows causing market panic;
2. After incidents, project team promised compensation, coverage, freezing hacker assets, but mostly failed to deliver;
3. Incident explanations changed repeatedly—sometimes blaming external hackers, sometimes contract bugs—with insufficient contingency plans and no mature risk control solutions;
4. Repairs after incidents were only temporary patches, with no substantial upgrade to the underlying security architecture, giving the market the impression that incidents can recur endlessly with no end to risk.
What ordinary investors fear most is not a single incident but the repeated occurrence of the same type of risk, with promised security guarantees and compensation plans all falling through. Each incident washes away part of the faith, gradually zeroing out trust.
4. Root Cause: Excessive Project Team Authority, Centralized Nature, Decentralization Only a Facade
This is the underlying logic of all tragedies:
Under the banner of public chain and decentralized mining, the project team holds core authority:
- Can modify release rules and adjust mining output;
- Contract upgrades and permission controls are highly centralized;
- Ecosystem progress and partnership news rely solely on verbal announcements, with no enforceable or verifiable hard timelines;
- After incidents, whether to cover losses and how to handle them depends entirely on the project team’s choice, with no contract-based automatic user asset protection.
Decentralization is just a promotional slogan; decision-making power is highly concentrated in the project team’s hands.
Retail investors in crypto easily get attracted by grand narratives but overlook a key point: if the project team is unrestrained and promises can be broken at any time, no matter how good the story sounds, it has no foundation.
5. After Trust is Exhausted, the Final Path to Delisting and Marginalization
Exchanges have risk control standards for listing a coin: continuous project failures, frequent security incidents, team breaches of trust, exploding community complaints, and ongoing negative public opinion.
To avoid their own risks, exchanges gradually reduce trading weight, restrict trading, and eventually delist.
Once delisted, liquidity dries up:
Retail investors find it very difficult to sell their tokens, with no market despite value, locking in losses—this is the ultimate outcome for many who suffered heavy losses.
Exaggerated promotion to attract traffic (mobile mining) → arbitrary rule changes, initial breach of trust → ecosystem delays and selling pressure after listing → multiple security incidents with unfulfilled compensation promises → community consensus collapse and concentrated negative outbreaks → exchange risk assessment leading to gradual delisting → investors’ assets trapped and losses realized.The funding rate hasn't surrendered, don't rush to bottom-fish
$BTC is back just above 75,000, $ETH dropped to 2226, $SOL is holding the 90 mark. The backend chatter about "bottom-fishing" is getting louder, but I still say: no rush.
Prices can be deceptive, funding rates are more honest. True oversold rebounds usually push the funding rate deeply negative first—only when shorts are crowded and squeezed is there fuel. But now the funding rate is still mildly positive: no panic, no surrender, bulls are still paying to hold on.
What does this mean? It looks more like a breather in a low-volume downtrend, not what a bottom should look like. Bottoms aren't called out loud, they're earned by chips conceding. If the funding rate doesn't turn negative, the rebound is mostly just a correction, not a reversal.
Bottom-fishing isn't about who acts fastest, it's about who can wait. Without fuel in place, I'd rather stay on the sidelines. BTC at 75,000, ETH at 2226, SOL at 90 are just milestones, not starting pistols. Wait for the funding rate to signal, then get on board—it won't be too late.
For personal review only, not trading advice.$BTC $ETH $ZEC BTC Historical November Performance Review
From 2010 to present, out of 16 Novembers, 10 closed up and 6 closed down. The average gain looks high but is mainly skewed by the extreme 2013 market, so it can't be taken as a rule. The median return is 10.26%, making it a high-volatility month with significant bullish and bearish divergence.
✅ Bull Market / Halving + Election Years (Strong Rally)
• 2017.11: Bull market main wave, monthly gain +53.6%, continuously accelerating to new highs, market sentiment was frenzied, altcoins collectively exploded.
• 2020.11: Election + liquidity cycle, monthly gain +42.8%, steadily pushed up from lows, sharp wick and shakeout at month-end but closed higher.
• 2024.11: Post-halving + US election catalyst, monthly gain 37.4%, bullish driven by election expectations, then volatility and pullback after news release.
❌ Bear Market / Recession Years (Sharp Declines)
• 2018.11: Major bear market, single month plunge of 36.4%, slow decline + concentrated liquidations, almost no decent rebound, worst November historically.
• 2022.11: FTX crash, monthly drop 16.2%, black swan panic sell-off, continuously probing cycle lows, panic at maximum.
• 2025.11: High-level weakness, monthly drop 17.5%, ETF outflows continue, bulls take profits, volatile downtrend, altcoins fall even more.
2. Drivers prioritize macro factors: Federal Reserve inflation data, US elections, regulatory news have much greater impact than seasonal effects. Buying back government bonds is not buying crypto
I don't count it as printing money.
BTC spot price is $75757.5, 24-hour low is $75569.1, the Treasury is buying back its own bonds, not the Fed expanding its balance sheet, and definitely not sending money to the crypto circle.
First, recognize who is making the payment.

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 $ETH whale that bought at $1,626 adds again at $2,245
A whale that in June bought 10,376 ETH at about $1,626 spent roughly $19.7 million USDT about an hour ago to buy 8,775 ETH at about $2,245.
The wallet now holds 23,097 ETH (about $51.7 million), with an average cost near $1,909.Binance is facing difficulties, and stablecoins are also experiencing significant capital outflows. Switching trading platforms is easy; the real challenge lies in maintaining capital flow.
According to data from DefiLlama, the market capitalization of stablecoins is currently $291.56 billion, down 1.96% this week. It is reported that the market share of decentralized exchanges (DEX) has increased from 17.2% to 21.1%.
A larger decentralized exchange does not necessarily mean a stronger cryptocurrency market. If users switch exchanges but funds continue to flow out of the market, what is there to celebrate?This morning I glanced at the data: contracts had a net outflow of about 700 million in one day, while spot only saw an inflow of 2.7 million. I draw only one conclusion: the money isn’t just changing hands, it’s exiting the market 💸.
Looking at contracts: BTC contracts had inflows of 9.4 billion and outflows of 9.97 billion, a net outflow of 569 million; ETH had inflows of 5.57 billion and outflows of 5.68 billion, net outflow of 114 million; SOL had inflows of 922 million and outflows of 948 million, net outflow of 25.38 million. BTC, ETH, and SOL combined saw just over 700 million leaving, leverage money is exiting decisively.
Looking at spot: BTC received 2.7 million, ETH received 2.27 million, SOL still had a net outflow of 10.72 million. No one is taking over on the spot side; the money isn’t moving elsewhere, it’s just leaving directly 👀.
Looking at volume: total network volume dropped 56.7% in one day, down to just over 141.6 billion. With volume shrinking this much, fake moves on the charts can’t even be made.
An anomaly: ZEC contracts had inflows of 2.14 billion and outflows of 2.13 billion, net inflow of 12.38 million; spot had a net inflow of 19.18 million. It’s the only asset with money flowing in both directions; while others exit, it’s entering. I’ll note this money for now.
Options have also changed: BTC options volume shows 61.68% bullish, surpassing the 57.11% open interest. The bulls are still there, but only dare to bet hidden in options.
My judgment in one sentence: contract money has left, spot money hasn’t arrived, volume hasn’t returned, I’m not catching this falling knife 😤. The money has exited; will it come back? I’ll leave that question for the results on Tuesday night next week.A beat didn't protect a stock this quarter.
43 of 52 companies reporting from Oct 20 to Nov 4 beat consensus on adjusted earnings.
At the Nov 5 close, 35 of the 43 sat below their pre-report price.
The median of the 43 sat 13.25% under it.WTI fell 13%, will altcoins really get easier?
The cooling oil prices look comfortable, but high-elasticity coins have not all turned green because of this, and that is the key. Concerns about further US-Iran conflicts remain; negotiations do not mean that navigation has fully resumed.
I'll first focus on $SOL: around $89.93 at 12:00 UTC on November 7, 24h -0.47%; perpetual open interest on three exchanges about $1.7 billion. Volatility is sensitive to risk appetite; a rebound requires spot buying to take over.
On the contrary, $DOGE: around $0.0719, 24h -0.88%; perpetual open interest on three exchanges about $380 million. Sentiment coins need volume and price coordination; you can't just chase stories; its sensitivity to geopolitical news still needs to be verified by actual capital flows.
Putting them on the same chart, easing energy cost pressure does not mean the leverage and spot buying in the crypto market will immediately change; transmission takes time.
The real confirmation condition is substantial improvement in navigation and supply, not treating the willingness to negotiate reported in the media as an executed agreement.
Will you wait for crude oil to continue falling first, or wait for altcoins to strengthen their own price structure?

Strong employment is backed by industry structure; don't just assume AI and public chains will all benefit. The December rate hike bet reportedly rose from about 70% to 78%, but the hike hasn't happened yet.
I'll first watch $LINK: On November 7 at 12:00 UTC, about $10.82, 24h -0.37%; perpetual open interest on three exchanges about $168 million. The price hasn't broken out independently; need to watch subsequent spot trading.
On the contrary, $NEAR: about $3.70, 24h -0.96%; perpetual open interest on three exchanges about $331 million. The price is soft; similar themes may attract different capital choices; news still needs to be verified through price and actual buying.
Putting them on the same chart, employment distribution and on-chain commercial revenue are two different matters; whether the tech narrative can translate into coin price depends on actual trading and positions.
If funding rates remain positive but price doesn't break out, position costs may first consume patience; don't mistake a stalemate for a confirmed rise.
If traditional industry data is strong but on-chain tech coins are weak, would you chase the narrative or look at on-chain evidence?
#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% #BTC现货ETF年内累计净流出约4.16亿美元 Once the non-farm payrolls were released, the bulls' last hope for a rebound was dashed. Last night’s employment data significantly exceeded expectations; I thought the market could catch a breather, but BTC couldn’t even reclaim key psychological levels. Today, the focus is on where the funds have gone?
$BTC is currently in the most awkward position. The non-farm data directly pushed up rate hike expectations, with the US dollar index and US Treasury yields strengthening simultaneously. BTC dipped to 74877 and is now grinding around 75700. The spot ETF continues to bleed, with a cumulative net outflow of $870 million in the first four days of November, making redemption pressure very apparent. I believe it will oscillate around 75000 recently.
$ETH is weaker than BTC, with ETF outflows for more than twenty consecutive trading days. The rebound is just short covering, with no institutional entry. It can’t hold above 2300, and the weak pattern remains unchanged.
$SOL is relatively resistant, oscillating near 90, but the Lujiazui offline event was halted, and domestic regulatory risks loom overhead. It is currently liquidity following the decline; only after volatility is digested will there be opportunities.
With rate hike expectations pressing down and ETFs still continuously flowing out, it is difficult for the market to have a major reversal in the short term.
#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Short sellers' profits are being eroded bit by bit, which is more alarming than losses. According to the latest data, the unrealized gains on short positions for $ETH, $SOL, and $DOGE have all shrunk simultaneously. Previously, the combined paper profits exceeded 380U but have now clearly been given back—this is not a random fluctuation in a single coin but a signal that the short-selling camp is collectively under pressure. Let's first look at the most resilient $ETH: the average entry price is 2418.00, the current price has rebounded to 2239.34, with unrealized gains still at +147.57U (ROI +147.77%), and a margin rate as high as 2967%. The profit buffer is very thick, but the price has already turned upward. The high margin rate means the position is temporarily safe, but it also indicates that the safety margin of this short position is being eroded by the rising market. $SOL's situation illustrates the problem even more clearly: the average entry price is 95.94, the current price has bounced back to 90.91, and unrealized gains have shrunk to +104.82U (ROI +104.85%). The key point is that it just broke below 89.6 and was quickly pulled back near 91. After a false breakout-style dip followed by a rebound, a single profit evaporated by more than twenty dollars. This kind of "unable to fall further" movement is often an early sign of weakening short momentum. $DOGE has also followed the rebound: entry price 0.07675, current price 0.073184, unrealized gains +92.89U (ROI +92.92%), already falling below the 100U threshold. Meme coins are the most sensitive to sentiment, and its pullback indicates that risk appetite has not truly cooled. Putting the three together, the conclusion is clear: this On one side, IBIT dumped about 1.21 billion in a week, while on the other, FBTC still net absorbed about 93 million — both are US spot Bitcoin ETFs, but last week's scripts were completely opposite.
The whole category saw a net outflow of about 1.28 billion USD from 11/2 to 11/6, the worst week since late June; the year-to-date cumulative also flipped from slightly positive to about 914 million net outflow. ETH spot ETFs lost about 365 million in the same week, marking the sixth consecutive week of net outflow.
Why it matters: Just looking at "whether ETFs are buying or not" is too rough; breaking it down to individual ETFs reveals whether funds are just shifting seats or truly exiting.
Confidence: Medium-High | Weekly updates from SoSoValue / The Block / Farside and other media and data providers; outflow ≠ on-chain dumping. You should watch whether Monday continues to be positive, or first see if IBIT alone can stop the outflow? $BTC #美军再度打击伊朗，霍尔木兹海峡重开仍存分歧 Once the non-farm payrolls were released, the market's previous hopes for a rate cut were immediately dashed. Employment data significantly exceeded expectations, wages did not stabilize, and the labor market remains very resilient. Funds quickly raised bets on a December rate hike, U.S. Treasury yields surged, and the dollar strengthened.
The logic is simple: with a hot job market, the Federal Reserve has no pressure to ease monetary policy hastily; instead, it has the confidence to continue controlling inflation, prolonging the period of high interest rates. For U.S. tech growth stocks, valuation pressure has returned. There was a sharp drop earlier, and the subsequent rebound is just short covering, not a trend reversal.
This macroeconomic trend directly impacts Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a high-risk asset; with rising interest rate expectations, the cost of leveraged funds increases, and capital prefers risk-free returns like U.S. Treasuries, making the market prone to pressure. Recently, BTC spot ETFs have seen continuous outflows, institutional funds remain cautious, and combined with rate hike expectations, the market is unlikely to sustain a strong rally.
Going forward, focus on CPI inflation data, as this is the ultimate basis for the Federal Reserve's decisions. Currently, it is just an expectation game, volatility will increase, so do not chase rebounds with heavy positions. Manage your positions and wait for macro fundamentals to materialize before acting.

$BTC $ETH $SOL A signal overshadowed by the Middle East and crypto markets, which I find more honest than candlestick charts: According to Nikkei statistics, nearly half of Japan's manufacturing sector has raised its full-year profit forecasts, indicating a prosperous outlook. But hidden in the report is a sentence saying the market has started to worry that "capital expenditures by U.S. tech companies may slow down."
The weight of this statement lies in who said it. Japan's electrical machinery and chemical industries are upstream suppliers in the global AI hardware chain, and they rely on this wave of U.S. capex. Even those holding the rice bowl are beginning to worry about running out of food, which is far more convincing than downstream voices shouting "bubble."
I've always said that the tech peak won't be announced with fanfare; it will first leak out cautiously through the supply chain. $BTC is now tightly linked to tech, and the sentiment upstream will sooner or later be reflected on your screen.
Do you trust the downstream voices more, or the upstream ledgers?Bitcoin's false boom may not last for many more years. It can't exactly be called a scam, since many early investors have made a fortune, but the inherent nature of speculative assets requires a continuous stream of new buyers. Please note, here’s the key point: over the past 5 years, those who invested regularly have basically made no profit. The average transaction price over 5 years was $60,000, and now Bitcoin is at $70,000. After accounting for the opportunity cost equivalent to bank CoreWeave did something quite intriguing today: before the new governor of Texas took office, they specifically sent a letter seeking cooperation, promising to "responsibly complete approved projects and establish long-term sustainable standards."
To translate: a company that builds data centers by borrowing money suddenly starts emphasizing "sustainability" and "responsibility"—usually not because business is going well, but because the financing side is starting to demand explanations. Just as rumors circulate about Microsoft pulling out and delivery delays, they rush to show loyalty to local governments; this sequence itself is a signal.
The narrative around AI this round has never been about whether it will collapse, but about when this "borrow-to-expand" financing chain will have to repay its debts. $BTC is deleveraging alongside tech stocks this week, and it's the same underlying story.
Don't just focus on the K-line charts; pay attention to who is in a hurry to justify themselves. Do you think AI capex this round is just warming up or about to repay debts?It's almost dawn, and I'm studying the order opening strategies of the experts. I found one address holding 1,352 BTC short positions, with an unrealized profit of 3.74 million, total position size 187 million, all three legs are short.
BTC is the main position: 25x full position, opened at 78,645, nominal 103 million, accounting for 84%, the entire account relies on it. ETH and SOL are satellite positions, 15.62 million and 3.21 million respectively; ETH opened at 2,262, unrealized profit When losses become so large that all you want is to quickly end this pain, are the decisions you make next truly trading judgments, or are your emotions making the choices for you? What’s even more concerning is that when a person's decision-making system has been taken over by stress, how can they regain a sense of control, and by what standards can they judge whether they have truly recovered? This article discusses how to get the part of yourself outside the account back on track after returning. First, let's talk about a very common phenomenon: many people, once they experience a significant drawdown, their first reaction is to quickly make back the losses. This is actually very dangerous because from that moment on, your purpose in trading may have changed. Originally, you were looking for high reward opportunities, but now you just want to end the pain. Originally, you were judging the market, but now you just want your account to quickly return to its previous position. These two states may both look like trading, but their essence is completely different. When people are under the greatest pressure, what they most want to solve is often not the market problem, but their own emotional problem. This is also the starting point of many uncontrolled trades: one loss leads to immediately making the next trade, then another loss, increasing position sizes, increasing frequency. You think you are working hard to recover losses, but in reality, you are just becoming more and more unable to tolerate the current state. So after a big drawdown, the first question is not what to trade next, but whether you are actually trading or just trying to stop the pain. If the answer tends toward the latter, then you should stop, because what you most need to recover at this time is not your profitability, but your judgment ability. This also explains a phenomenon very familiar to retail traders: why they always feel like they are about to cut"Against Human Nature, Don't Run Naked Against the Wind"
The most counterintuitive aspect of trading: positions that make you comfortable often hide landmines, while decisions that make you uncomfortable may actually yield good results. Once you get complacent, the market will always deliver a critical hit.
The Nasdaq dropped 6% overnight, like a gift to those holding no positions — the more it falls, the more you buy, provided you still have ammo and aren't tied up by leverage. After US stocks went on-chain, leverage became easily accessible, with 10x or 20x leverage common on X and Square, going long 3x semiconductor ETFs, SanDisk, Micron, Hynix. Bottom-fishing against the downtrend, going long is 10 times riskier than shorting; combined with high leverage, a stampede is almost inevitable. This year has already seen three rounds of traders falling.
Looking back at 2015 data: after the Nasdaq fell more than 6% in a single day, the probability of a rise the next day was 88.9%, with 8 rebounds out of 9. For those without positions, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a position, with cheap chips everywhere, albeit bloodied.
But probability is not a talisman. Going against human nature does not mean running naked against the wind; when catching flying knives, don't use high leverage.

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Don't rush to bottom-fish; first check if the "fuel" is enough
BTC has returned above 75,000, ETH slipped to 2226, and SOL is holding firm near the 90 mark. There are clearly more voices in the background asking "Can we bottom-fish now?" but my answer remains: no rush.
Price creates sentiment, but funding rates are closer to the facts. A truly decent oversold rebound usually first drives the funding rate deeply negative—shorts are crowded, positions imbalanced, and only then is there fuel for a short squeeze. But now the funding rate is still mildly positive, with no panic selling or capitulation in sight.
What does this indicate? It looks more like a pause in a volume-shrinking downtrend rather than the shape a bottom should take. Bottoms usually aren't "called out"; they are forced out by shorts being crowded to the extreme and then squeezed out.
Bottom-fishing is never about who acts fastest, but who can wait longest. Without the fuel in place, I'd rather stay on the sidelines and watch. The market doesn't lack opportunities; it lacks patience.

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 US tech stocks sentiment transmission, Democrats' sweep ignites AI regulation panic
Nasdaq fell 5.5% on Thursday, S&P dropped 4.4%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged as much as 10%. After the Democrats took both chambers, the market worries about data center construction being blocked and tighter AI regulations. This BTC drop is synchronized with tech stocks, not its own issue. The question is, when tech stocks rebound, will BTC follow? Last night the Nasdaq rebounded, but BTC barely moved up. Now with the US stock market closed, Bitcoin also shows no rebound. The hype continues to decline steadily.Bitcoin mining difficulty has not returned to its historical peak for 374 consecutive days.
The peak was at 155.97T on October 29, 2025. This is the longest "no new high" period in the network's history, surpassing the 364 days after the 2011 crash and also exceeding the period after China's ban in 2021.
In the past, such a prolonged difficulty stagnation had only two explanations: a crash or a ban by a major country. This time, the explanation is: AI is bidding higher.
Facts: The current difficulty is 148.36T, about 4.9% lower than the peak, with the next adjustment on November 13, expected to remain basically flat. The 7-day average hash rate at the end of July was about 868 EH/s, while it exceeded 1 ZH/s at the end of last year; year-over-year difficulty has turned negative for the second time in history. Miners sold more than 32,000 BTC in the first quarter, exceeding the entire previous year. Core Scientific will confirm in this week's earnings report: it will completely exit mining in the fourth quarter and transition to data center hosting — in the third quarter, $233 million in revenue, of which $215 million came from colocation services.
Electricity has not disappeared; it has just been sold to customers who bid higher. This is not a network security issue; it is the industry changing its business.

Next, let's see where Bitcoin's low point will be. The historical low is 57,800; can it break below that and create a new low? Or will it just test the 60,000 level twice and then end the bear market? Or maybe right now it's a big V-shaped recovery, starting a bull market.Will the $NBIS earnings report exceed expectations? I am optimistic Yes
Predicted price Yes 70¢, the overall market is bullish, and I am optimistic too. Reasons:
1️⃣ Revenue for the last two quarters has exceeded expectations, Q2 actual about $582 million, expected about $577 million, Q1 exceeded by about 6.6%
2️⃣ EPS has repeatedly beaten expectations by a large margin, Q2 loss of $0.12, expected loss of $0.82, Q1 loss of $0.33, expected loss of $0.73
3️⃣ AI computing power demand still exceeds supply, Q2 adjusted EBITDA margin has risen to 41%, both growth and margin are moving in a positive direction
⚠️ Risks also need to be clearly seen:
· Q3'25 and Q4'25 revenues are both below expectations, by about 5%, not every time exceeding
· Q3 revenue expectation about $920 million, compared to Q2's $580 million, the bar is not low Staying up late watching Hyperliquid positions

Don’t follow the crowd shouting directions Nonfarm payrolls explode, what’s the outlook for BTC and ETH!!!
This time, nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000, while the expectation was only 65,000, greatly exceeding expectations. The unemployment rate fell and wages rose simultaneously, typical hawkish data. After the data release, the probability of a December rate hike quickly rose, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened, and liquidity tightening expectations suppressed the market.
BTC: The core of the market, highly correlated with the Nasdaq. After the data release, it quickly dipped as long leverage was concentratedly liquidated. Spot ETF funds are prone to outflow, support levels are broken, and selling pressure will accelerate; with larger volume and deeper institutional holdings, its downside elasticity is less than ETH. Focus on the 74,000 support level.
ETH: Has stronger high Beta characteristics, combined with DeFi and derivatives leverage positions, volatility is significantly greater. Rising interest rates increase funding costs, DeFi funds contract, bearish for the ecosystem, and the pullback is usually stronger. Focus on the 2,200 support level.
Market rhythm: The data release is a realization of bearish expectations. The first wave is a sharp drop killing longs at the moment of release; the second phase depends on whether U.S. Treasury yields can continue to rise. If they spike and then fall back, a short-term corrective rebound will occur, which is a weak bounce after a decline.

$BTC $ETH $ZEC Investors are pushing prices down, but what should traders actually be looking at?
A valuation cut in IPO negotiations doesn't necessarily mean the company suddenly got worse; it could also mean the cost of capital has increased. Previously, quarterly revenue growth was about 144%, compared to 47% this quarter. High growth doesn't mean it will accelerate forever.
Shift your focus to $NEAR: around $3.70 at 12:00 UTC on November 7, down 0.96% in 24h. Neither the AI narrative nor the public chain narrative can replace buying pressure; short-term gains do not equal the project securing orders from traditional AI companies.
In contrast, $WLD is about $0.3386, down 2.82% in 24h. The market has not broadly strengthened due to AI news.
I actually think the same applies to AI tokens: price pullbacks need to distinguish between valuation compression and real usage deterioration; you can't simply label it as negative news.
If the roadshow date and issue price are not finally confirmed, you can't write the expected progress as completed, nor can you replace on-chain data.
Do you see the valuation pullback as risk release, or are you worried the entire sector needs to be repriced?
#Anthropic仍计划11月IPO，投资者下调估值预期 #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% $SOL The most fragile part of this rebound is not the price, but the sentiment on the derivatives side that hasn't been fully squeezed out yet. - Is the support at 90 really that solid? I've been watching SOL's order book these past two days; the spot market looks like it's slowly stopping the bleeding, but the derivatives side feels completely different to me. The price is recovering from a sharp drop, superficially it seems like buyers are defending the 89 to 90 range, but in reality, it looks more like leveraged positions are tentatively covering rather than new money entering firmly. What really needs attention is that the open interest in perpetual contracts is still hanging there, and the funding rate hasn't clearly turned negative, indicating that the longs haven't been completely washed out and floating positions remain. I break down the key signals into two groups. Momentum side: - The 89 to 90 range has been repeatedly tested but not broken, short-term buying is indeed stepping in. - After the price returns to the range, the natural short-covering target levels are 97, 103 to 113. - As long as open interest doesn't continue to accumulate, the rebound has room to develop into a corrective rally. Risk side: - If the funding rate turns positive again and open interest increases, it means new longs are being put back into a position vulnerable to being squeezed. - Once 89 is breached, stop-losses and liquidations will pile up, and the decline could be sharper than the previous round. - This rebound is not accompanied by obvious spot volume expansion, indicating weak support and sentiment recovering faster than real demand. My own understanding is that the market is not trading on "SOL has bottomed," but rather on "where the shorts are willing to stop." In this structure, rebounds can move quickly but lack a solid foundation; around 97 is very likely the first barrier On the surface, ETFs have tamed BTC into a smooth straight line, but staring at this trend actually gives me a bit of a chill down my spine. That straight line—does it represent maturity, or has the explosive power been quietly drained away? From 2011 to 2017 and 2019 to 2021, BTC's acceleration phases surged like an ECG spike—steep, sharp, and emotional; from 2022 to 2025, it almost crawls upward along a slanting line. At first glance, this seems positive: volatility converges, institutions enter, and the narrative becomes respectable. But when I keep position diaries, I fear this kind of "too smooth" chart the most—it easily misleads people into thinking risks have been ironed out, so leverage quietly increases, stop losses quietly loosen, and the rhythm quietly shifts from "waiting for a pullback" to "fear of missing out." What’s truly being traded this round is not just the incremental volume brought by ETFs, but also the expectation that "BTC has already become a mature asset" being priced in early. The cross-market linkage also reveals this flavor: it increasingly behaves like a risk asset breathing with macro interest rates and dollar liquidity, rather than an isolated island telling its own story. The benefit is that allocation demand from traditional capital pools is more stable, support during pullbacks is stronger, and ETH and leading altcoins are more easily taken care of as well. The risk is that once external interest rate expectations reverse, this straight line will be pulled along too, and because everyone is used to low volatility, the psychological gap during a stampede will be even greater. My own adjustment is: not to bet on 2025’s acceleration with the violent experience of 2017, nor to relax position discipline just because the chart smooths out. The bullish path lies in institutional allocation not yet being complete, a slow-paced bull; the bearish risk lies in volatility being compressed afterThere's something I've never quite understood: opening the group chat shows a bear market everywhere, opening the K-line, $BTC is just slowly drifting down, no crash.
Today the dominance dropped to 59.24%, down 0.26 points, with a 24-hour trading volume of $9.207 billion. Sounds intimidating, but the circulating market cap is $1.51 trillion, and with that volume spread out, there really aren't many people selling. The pain comes from no one buying, not from people dumping.
$ETH dominance did rise a bit, but that's because others shrank while it didn't, not because it got stronger itself. This kind of rise is the easiest to deceive.$MUBARAK was the star meme of March 2025: meaning "blessed." CZ bought about $600 worth with 1 BNB, it rose 200% in two days, and the market cap touched 200 million. Now the market cap is only 40 million.
In the past two weeks, it has only done one thing: bleeding. It slid down from 0.0525 to 0.040 without a crash or black swan event, just no buyers—daily volume shrank from 6 million to 1.78 million, and the ceiling kept lowering step by step: 0.0445, 0.0438, with each rebound weaker than the last.
At 00:00 this morning, a sharp drop hit 0.03889, the largest single-hour volume in several days, approaching the previous low of 0.03856 on 11/3, then weakly pulled back to 0.040. The project team has no new updates, and CZ has not interacted again—the story is over, only existing holders are watching each other now.
The real risk for this token is not how much it falls, but if volume continues to dry up, the previous low will be breached on contact. The main bet is on a weak bottoming with a bias toward breaking down: if 0.0386 doesn't hold, look for 0.034-0.035.
Watch volume to confirm: after this drop, is there volume to follow? Can daily volume return above 3 million? Any rebound without volume is fake; only after holding above 0.0438 can a turnaround be discussed.
