On paper it's in the red, but my logic hasn't changed, and there are three reasons👇 1️⃣ Not enough room. The current price is still over three points away from 4,300. Gold only shows this kind of one-sided trend in a week during major events, such as sudden geopolitical conflicts or unexpected hawkish/dovish moves by central banks. There are no such big events on this week's calendar. 2️⃣ High levels cause hesitation. Gold prices have been fluctuating at high levels for several weeks, and every time it surges, profit-taking hits. Around 4,200 is the first barrier, 4,300 is a psychological round number barrier; breaking both in one week is unlikely. 3️⃣ The odds are calculable. No sell at 92¢ means the market only gives about a 10% chance of "touching" it, and I think the real probability is even lower. This position is originally low-volatility and steady profit, not a bet for doubling. The current -3.9% is just market sentiment wobbling, not the result. As long as the highest price this week doesn't reach 4,300, each contract will settle at 1 XP at expiration, recovering about 540 of the 500 XP invested, earning around 8%. I've also thought through the biggest risk: if a major risk-off event happens midweek and gold surges sharply, this position will hurt. So I only used part of my XP, not fully invested. Do you think gold will reach 4,300 this week? Google is setting rules for crypto ads in the UAE, effective tomorrow (October 21).
Google Ads policy update: For crypto exchange and software wallet ads targeting UAE users, advertisers must hold a license from one of four regulators: Capital Market Authority (CMA), Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), or Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and also pass Google's ad qualification certification.
On the surface, this looks like an "expansion": previously only VARA and FSRA were recognized, now CMA and DFSA are included.
But the actual threshold is raised: license + Google certification + compliance with local laws are all mandatory; CFD licenses under the same brand do not automatically cover crypto ads, each product line must be separately approved.
I think this is a signal, not noise: the UAE is a gateway for Middle Eastern crypto funds, and Google aligning ad thresholds with local virtual asset laws means acting as a gatekeeper for regulatory "traffic entry."
In the long run, mainstream assets like $BTC might actually benefit: clearer regulation means institutional funds enter with fewer concerns.
What do you think: Is Google's move "legalizing" crypto ads, or blocking the path for small and medium projects?

#CryptoAds #UAE NEAR looks a bit rough today, one of the biggest losers among major coins 📉
Down about 7% in 24 hours, now at 4.71. The daily chart has been dropping from the high of 6.06 on the 12th, with each rebound lower than the last: yesterday 5.135, today only up to 4.99. This afternoon it broke through the support level around 4.74–4.76.
Funding rate is slightly negative, shorts aren’t too crowded, but it also means few dare to take the other side.
Key levels I’m watching:
Above: 4.78–4.81, it hovered around here from noon to afternoon today, now broken, likely turning into resistance on a pullback
Higher: 4.87–4.89, the platform from last night to this morning
Below: 4.62–4.63 is yesterday’s low, further down 4.53 is the low on the 15th
My plan:
📌 Bias: bearish, waiting for a pullback
📌 Entry: 4.78–4.81
📌 Stop loss: 4.89, if it closes back above last night’s platform, admit the plan is wrong
📌 Target: take half off at 4.63, the rest at 4.53
If it drops straight to around 4.62 without a pullback, I won’t chase shorts; chasing there has a poor risk-reward ratio. If the 4H candle closes above 4.89, this plan is void.

Just my personal view, not investment advice, DYORThe South Korean market closed down nearly 4 points today, ending at 5552.
Looking back a month, this index has dropped from 7080 to now, losing more than 20%. Hynix is even more dramatic, down 35% from its peak.
Here's how the money moved today: foreign investors sold over 400 million USD, institutions sold over 300 million, and retail investors stubbornly bought over 600 million, but in the end, it still couldn't hold.
Last night in the US stock market, chip stocks actually rebounded by more than a point, but Asia still fell today without hesitation. So now the cut is no longer about how the US stock market performed last night, but someone is recalculating how much the AI investment is really worth. Today, a data center company in Korea went public and broke its IPO price, which is more telling than any slogans. There are also rumors that Hynix's subsidiary plans to list separately in the US, but this is unconfirmed, so don't take it seriously.
My macro articles' readership has dropped sharply these past two days; whenever I write about local dogs, people come in. Fine, watch whatever you want.
As for Bitcoin, from September 23 to today, others have dropped more than 20%, but it only fell 5 points, hovering between 81,000 and 83,000 in the past ten days, today at 81,700. When chips evaporated a trillion last week, I said in the square that Bitcoin wouldn't follow this wave, and that still holds true today.
80,000 is a threshold. If it really falls below that, my theory is invalid, and I'll admit it honestly. If it holds, then it's still a long position. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
#Semiconductor sector concentrated sell-off, South Korea KOSPI down over 6% Let me talk a bit about yesterday's gold short position; it went so smoothly, basically played out exactly as planned.
Previously, quite a few people saw some stirrings in the geopolitical area and got all hyped up, shouting that gold was about to take off, as if they wanted to buy out the floor price. I said clearly at the time, don't get carried away, this move is just a technical rebound, not a trend reversal. The interest rate constraint is still in place, and neither the dollar nor US Treasury yields are to be underestimated, so where does gold get the confidence to keep surging upward?
And what happened? After the surge, it softened and dropped all the way down. Our short positions were steadily profitable. Isn't this much better than chasing highs and selling lows?
This morning it bounced a bit, and some people started to panic, asking if they were going to miss out. I advise you to stay calm. This small rebound at this level is, frankly, just another opportunity for the bears. Look at the daily chart, each high is lower than the last, structurally still weak, with no sign of reversal.
So the strategy is simple: wait for it to creep up again, around 4160 to 4180, then continue to short, with the first target near 4115. Don't fear the rise; fear that you won't dare to short. $XAUFrom the perspective of holding period, distinguish between short-term event-driven and long-term fundamental market trends.
Price increases driven by positive events have a short duration; markets driven by continuous fundamental improvements can withstand multiple pullbacks.
For $BTC, look at the long-term cycle position; for $ETH, differentiate the type of market driver. Layered screening: rallies triggered by news events are suitable for short-term trading, not for long-term holding.

Key focus on the relative strength of BTC and ETH:
With continuous fundamental improvement combined with an upward market cycle, the market can be held long-term; purely news-driven moves without significant new capital inflow into BTC are only suitable for short-term quick in-and-out trading. ZRO unlocked 23.63 million tokens today, while the cumulative buyback is only 2.54 million tokens. I’m not catching this flying knife.
DefiLlama shows that LayerZero unlocked about 23.63 million tokens at 13:33 today, worth about 44 million USD, accounting for about 5.9% of circulation.
All of these went to core contributors and strategic partners, with 8 more monthly unlocks to come.
The official buyback is funded by Stargate revenue, totaling about 2.54 million tokens.
On the OKX daily chart, ZRO dropped from the October 11 high of 2.48 back to about 1.83.
My view: the buyback is real, but the monthly unlock volume is roughly 9 times the cumulative buyback, so it can’t hold.
Those who grabbed airdrops early have long left; now the monthly sellers are insiders.
Only when it firmly stands above 2.10 can it be considered a breakout.
Invalidation: if it falls below the previous low of 1.7263, don’t bottom-fish.
Do you think the buyback can support ZRO, or is the monthly unlocking weighing it down?

#OctoberFOMCapproaching What variables remain with the Fed pausing rate hikes? Eight-day losing streak ends! Philadelphia Semiconductor rebounds 1.6% on Monday—reversal or dead cat bounce?
After eight consecutive days of decline, the longest losing streak since 2008, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) closed up on Monday: +1.61%, at 11,316.34 points. The cumulative drop over eight days was 15.7%, wiping out nearly 2 trillion in market value at one point. Last Friday, the RSI hit 21.5—the lowest since the tariff panic in April 2025. Oversold to the extreme, a rebound was due.
Leading the gains were memory stocks: SK Hynix ADR +4.67%, Micron +2.97%; Intel +3% (JPMorgan just upgraded it from underweight to neutral); SOXL up 5.32% in a single day, SOXX closed up 1.73% at 501.93—bottom-fishing capital is really stepping in. Demand side isn’t actually bad: Wedbush says no credit risk seen in AI data center supply chain, storage prices are still rising, the problem lies in financing sentiment.
But don’t rush to call it a reversal yet. The key 11,500 level hasn’t been reclaimed: intraday Monday touched 11,550 but gave back gains, closing at 11,316. The first day of rebound is just a watch-and-see.
Downside is clear too: if Monday’s 1.6% gain is fully given back and it returns to around 11,100, that’s a dead cat bounce and the bottom test continues.
Are you betting on a reversal or a dead cat bounce? Tesla’s earnings after market close on 10-21 will reveal the answer.
$SOXL $AKE funding is still increasing, is something big coming??
Ake started signaling trades in mid-month, and the current trend looks like it’s gearing up for the expected October market. After an initial surge and pullback, it has been consolidating sideways for a long time, with most of the chips already digested.
Now, the full-cycle contracts maintain net inflows, indicating that leveraged longs are actively positioning. Spot funds are flowing back, and mid-to-long-term buyers are gradually catching up, so it’s not just contracts playing alone.
This kind of meme coin’s rise relies on community narratives without solid fundamental support, so selling pressure comes quickly as well.
My personal suggestion is to focus on short-term longs. #ETF continues outflows, can BTC’s rebound sustain? Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data shows that in the five trading days ending last Thursday, hedge funds' net selling of the technology sector as a proportion of holdings hit the highest record since statistics began in 2016. After reducing positions, tech stocks still account for 23.5% of their global prime brokerage book net allocation. The institutional funds in this sample are reducing exposure, which is short-term bearish for tech stocks' capital flow, but the allocation remains high; whether the retreat continues is more critical. Next, watch if net selling narrows and whether the remaining allocation continues to decline. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ [680,000 AI payments have already been recorded on-chain, is the Agent economy finally starting to generate revenue?]
As of October 20, X-Agent has cumulatively recorded 1.269 million on-chain transactions, 39,649 Agentic Wallets, and 680,300 x402 payments. The numbers are growing rapidly, but what I value most is how much these Agents have actually spent and what services they have purchased.
This sector is indeed beginning to have real data support. CoinDesk reported on October 14, citing Chainalysis data, that x402 has processed over 138 million crypto payments, but more than 87% of individual transactions are under $0.1. The fact that micropayments are working shows there is a real application space for machines to automatically purchase data, computing power, and model services; however, a large number of transactions does not necessarily mean equally large commercial revenue.
The direction of Agent automatic payments definitely has long-term value, but for now, this data alone is not enough to conclude the ecological value of X-Agent. The number of wallets does not equal active users, the number of payments does not equal unique customers, and certainly not profits. Next, we need to look at total payment amounts, repeat payment rates, and how many transactions come from genuine external demand. If these indicators continue to grow, the Agent Economy can truly be said to have crossed the threshold from demonstration to commercialization. $BTC , $ETH Hello brothers and sisters, I am Coin Brother!
Damn, the current market situation is very interesting. Leverage heat is rising rapidly, but spot funds are not following at all.
After the last round of short liquidation ended, incremental funds did not shift to spot allocation; instead, they flowed back into the contract trading sector.
The data is very straightforward: BTC's net inflow into contracts in the past 24 hours reached 859 million USD, while the spot side only had 143 million USD. In the last hour, contracts continued to see an additional inflow of 42.63 million, whereas spot actually had a net outflow of 2.49 million.
It's easy to fall into a cognitive trap here. Many people directly conclude that bulls have taken control of the market, but this judgment is not accurate. Contract fund inflows only indicate an increase in participants in the long-short game and a warming of leveraged betting sentiment. Without spot buying power to support, the rebound lacks a solid foundation and is hard to sustain.
This divergence is even more pronounced with ETH. In a single hour, contract inflow was 58.53 million, while spot inflow was only 3.4 million—a huge gap. Market makers' core reference indicator is not the loudness of bullish market voices but the real buying strength on the spot order book. Once the price pushes up to resistance levels but spot lacks real buying support, the resistance will take effect, and the price is likely to fall back after a rally.
#ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 #奈飞财报在即，广告业务成新看点 $BTC $ETH $ZEC #ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ BTC反弹但ETF未回流：价格修复快于资金修复
BTC rebounded from around 80,000 USD, briefly reaching 83,000 USD on October 19, then retreating to around 82,000 USD. However, the capital side remains under pressure: from October 12 to 16, BTC spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about 229 million USD, while ETH had a net outflow of about 320 million USD during the same period; on October 19, BTC ETFs again had a net outflow of about 139 million USD, with no sustained net inflow recovery yet.
Logical interpretation: This rebound appears more like a short-term correction after overselling and leverage clearing, rather than driven by incremental funds. Price recovery is faster than capital recovery, so the sustainability of the rebound is questionable. ETH outflows exceed BTC, indicating weaker support for non-BTC mainstream assets; ETH/BTC may remain weak in the short term.
Trading strategy: 83,000-84,000 USD is short-term resistance, 80,000 USD is key support. If the rebound to above 83,000 USD occurs with low volume and ETFs continue to outflow, prioritize reducing positions or lightly shorting, with a stop loss above 84,000 USD; if the price tests 80,000 USD without breaking and ETF outflows narrow, stabilization can be observed, but heavy bottom-fishing is not advisable. When ETH is weaker than BTC, consider shorting ETH/BTC. Core principle: before capital returns, the rebound is a correction, not a reversal. Control position size and set stop losses properly.Wall Street is starting to bring the US dollar onto Ethereum, but ETH's price may not immediately benefit!
On October 19, JPMorgan Chase announced that its US dollar deposit token, JPM Coin, has launched on the Ethereum mainnet and is now available to eligible institutional clients.
Note, it is not an ordinary USDT, nor a freely circulating stablecoin available to everyone, but an institutional-grade token representing JPMorgan Chase's US dollar deposits.
What truly deserves attention is the direction behind this.
In the past, when traditional banks talked about blockchain, it was often experiments within their own closed systems; now, JPMorgan Chase is extending institutional fund settlement business onto a public blockchain.
This means Ethereum's competitiveness is not just about whether ETH's price rises, but whether it can become the infrastructure for institutions to transfer funds and settle assets.
Of course, banks adopting Ethereum does not mean banks are buying ETH, nor does it mean ETH's price will immediately go up. Technology adoption, on-chain business growth, and token price are three different things.
But I believe that to judge a public chain's long-term value, you can't just focus on the candlestick chart. Short-term capital can withdraw; what really matters is: when traditional finance starts going on-chain, who can handle real business?
This may be more worthy of long-term attention than how many times leverage some whale has opened again. #SpaceX's first full quarterly report after going public will be revealed First, to pour some cold water: when I see a 10x long position, I don't take large orders as evidence of bullishness. Core Trader 02 (0x9c062c…00560) newly opened or added to a long position in $NBIS, holding 302.13 tokens with a nominal value of about $50,000. My judgment: this position expresses a direction, but it's not enough to prove that this direction is worth betting on.
I'm stuck on two points. First, leverage compresses the margin for error: roughly calculating by nominal value and 10x leverage, the corresponding margin is about $5,000; if the price moves 1% against the position, the loss is about 10% of this margin, and the actual impact is also affected by margin mode and other factors. Second, monitoring only shows this side of the position, without seeing the full assets and hedges. Interpreting a one-sided long position directly as a strong bullish signal might be a misread from the start. If the market moves against it, the most painful situation is a heavy position with no exit plan for the longs.
Of course, the other party might have caught the right direction, and I might have poured cold water too early. If the price continues to strengthen afterward and recovers after a pullback, I will reduce my bearish bias; but I will judge the correctness of the direction and the appropriateness of 10x leverage separately. Regarding this long position, do you stand long or short? Please explain your reasons: do you value the directional signal more, or the margin pressure brought by leverage more?Does everyone think Tesla's Q3 earnings report will exceed expectations? Am I the only one who thinks it might barely meet the mark?
The current market expectation for EPS is $0.43–0.45, with revenue expected at $27.8–28.1 billion.
I guess people expect it to beat because the vehicle delivery data released at the beginning of the month was 486,500 units, exceeding the market expectation of about 460,000. But I think part of that is inventory clearance, not increased demand. #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点
Why I think the earnings report won't beat expectations:
1. Zacks earnings surprise indicator ESP is about -11%, and a negative value usually means it won't beat expectations.
2. Analysts cut their expectations by 4%–12% last month, indicating that everyone thinks the fundamentals are weakening.
3. Energy storage deployment was 13.7 GWh, below the expected 15 GWh; gross margin dropped from 26.7% in 2022 to 16.3%, and Q2 already missed expectations once.Tuesday, 2026.10.20
US stocks opened high and closed low yesterday. Monday's futures really acted as a reverse indicator, which can now be used as an important reference. Although tech stocks collectively rebounded yesterday, they plunged at the close. Assets like Bitcoin and gold followed suit. US stocks are currently performing very poorly, with clear capital flight from the highs. The power of the cycle remains strong.
On October 19, Bitcoin ETFs had a net inflow of 526 million, while Ethereum ETFs had a net outflow of 103 million. This Bitcoin inflow feels like a bottom-fishing army entering the market.
SpaceX will release its Q3 financial and operational results after the market closes on October 20. It is also strongly supported by Trump, which should be somewhat related. Recently, Musk has been very active, so it’s worth paying more attention to assets related to him.
Market Analysis
The real trading flow after the US market opened dragged down Bitcoin, which had been rebounding well. Despite the large ETF inflows yesterday, they couldn’t stop the plunge, indicating this is indeed a right shoulder market pattern, and it may continue until the end of this week. After next week’s Federal Reserve decision, a new market phase may begin. From a technical perspective, the next phase should break 80,000, which depends on the Fed’s decision.
As mentioned above, altcoins still have significant leveraged positions, with risks and opportunities coexisting. Those who don’t want to risk severe losses should avoid altcoins.
Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index: 49 (Neutral) Yesterday was probably my best chance to cut my losses, but greed kept me holding on. Now I’m watching $SKHYNIX again, wondering if another leg down is coming this week. 📉 The recent rebound gave me hope, but the broader sell-off in AI and semiconductor stocks is still a concern. With earnings approaching on October 28, volatility could stay high. One green day doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom is in. 😮💨 Sometimes the hardest part of trading isn’t knowing when to buy — it’s accepting when Yesterday's rebound was actually quite mediocre: $BTC just touched 83000 and then pulled back, while other coins couldn't even reclaim the 20-day moving average. In this structure, chasing highs has very low cost-effectiveness. The real discussion isn't "whether the rebound can continue," but "what signals count as a reversal." Let's first look at the most critical hurdle. The average cost for $BTC spot ETF holders is about $84358, meaning that once the rebound approaches this range, it will face selling pressure from those looking to break even. The price surged to 83000 then fell back essentially because it was pushed down below this cost zone. So 85000 isn't just a random line; it's the decisive battleground between bulls and bears—only if it holds steady can we talk about a trend reversal; if it doesn't, all rebounds are just corrections. Next, look at $ETH. It is the weakest among the mainstream coins this round, down 4.3% over 7 days, currently over a hundred dollars below the 20-day moving average of 2532, with a daily RSI of only 29, indicating an extremely oversold condition. Weakness itself isn't a buying reason, but oversold conditions combined with moving average resistance mean that once it reclaims the 20-day moving average, the significance is not just catching up but possibly a real trend reversal. This is the most flexible of the three conditions. The third condition comes from the capital side: ETF net inflows must turn positive again. Price is the result; capital is the cause. Without incremental capital inflow, a rebound is essentially just a technical repair under a zero-sum game. The three conditions—$BTC holding above 85000, $ETH reclaiming the 20-day moving average, ETF capital[Google Opens the Door for Crypto Ads in the UAE, But Not Everyone Can Enter]
Starting October 21, Google $GOOGL will adjust its crypto advertising rules in the UAE: crypto exchanges and software wallets can advertise as long as they obtain licenses from designated regulatory authorities and pass Google Ads certification. Recognized authorities include VARA, DFSA, FSRA, and CMA.
The key point is that customer acquisition channels are now tied to compliance licenses. For exchanges wanting to enter the UAE market, having a license is not enough; they must also pass Google's approval. Smaller platforms, unlicensed operators, and businesses relying on ad traffic may face higher competition barriers. Google has not fully opened crypto ads; ICOs and some DeFi trading services remain restricted.
This is a channel benefit for compliant platforms, not a major boon for the entire crypto market. Ads can bring exposure but do not guarantee new users, trading volume, or revenue realization. There is currently no evidence that this policy will directly drive up $BTC or other tokens. The next step is to see how many exchanges actually get certified and whether advertising converts into real business; otherwise, no matter how good the license looks, it may just be an expensive entry ticket.[Even a 400x subscription couldn't save it, Elice plunged 33% on its KOSDAQ debut: Is the AI infrastructure story losing appeal?]
South Korean AI infrastructure company Elice debuted on KOSDAQ on October 20, with its stock price hitting a low of 61,000 KRW intraday, down about 32.6% from the issue price of 90,500 KRW. This IPO raised approximately 201.1 billion KRW, with retail subscription oversubscribed by more than 400 times and institutional subscription close to 389 times. The contrast between the frenzied subscription and the collective foot voting after listing is striking.
In fact, Elice's fundamentals are not disastrous: revenue in the first half of this year was 34.4 billion KRW, operating profit 10.3 billion KRW, already surpassing last year's full-year operating profit. However, investors are not just buying growth; they are also paying for future data center expansion, financing costs, and return cycles. During the same period, the Korea Composite Stock Price Index fell about 3.7%, with Samsung $SAMSUNG and SK Hynix $SKHY also under pressure, and sentiment in the AI infrastructure sector clearly cooling.
I tend to view this plunge as a signal of simultaneous cooling in valuation and sentiment, and it should not be taken as evidence that AI demand has peaked. What really matters is whether Elice can convert revenue growth into sustained cash flow and whether global data center investments can deliver returns. If performance continues to grow but the stock price remains weak, it may indicate that the market's concern is not just overvaluation but the industry's overall payback speed.$APR is expected to be weak over the next three days. On October 23, tokens equivalent to 47% of the circulating supply will be released, making this week the most pressure-intensive window. Within 24 hours, the price rose from 0.02357 to 0.03141, then fell back to 0.02886. The failure to hold the high indicates that someone is selling on the rebound. Long positions worth $320,000 were liquidated, more than three times the short positions, showing that leveraged buyers have already been washed out once. Contract open interest is about $10 million, thin compared to trading volume, so the price is mainly determined by the spot market, and spot holders have more incentive to reduce positions before the unlock. We backtested events where the unlock volume exceeded 10% of circulation; in the 7 days before unlock, performance lagged the broader market, with about three-quarters of samples closing negative. The descending trendline and bearish moving averages on the chart align with this direction, and the RSI at 35 remains in the weak zone. Over the next three days, I lean toward a pullback near 0.02357. The condition to turn bullish is a volume-backed close above 0.03141 and holding that level for a trading day. Backtesting after the unlock day shows no stable direction; this judgment only applies until the 23rd.First, a bit of cold water: seeing a long position opened does not equal seeing an opportunity. Core Trader 02 (0x9c062c…00560) newly opened or added a long position on $SOXL with 10x leverage, nominal position about $50,000. I am bearish on the margin for error in this trade—not asserting the price will definitely drop, so don’t get excited too quickly.
I’m stuck on two points: First, roughly calculating with 10x leverage, the initial margin for this position is about $5,000; if the price moves 1% against it, the loss is roughly 10% of the initial margin, not including fees; the actual liquidation point depends on the margin mode and additional funding, so you can’t directly take this ratio as the liquidation line. Second, monitoring only tells me he bought, it doesn’t tell me if this is a standalone bullish bet or part of a hedged combination. Mistaking one leg of someone else’s strategy for the whole strategy is the easiest way to misread their intent. If the price moves against you, the worst is to leverage in that direction without setting risk boundaries.
I also admit, he might be right. If the price continues to stay above this reference price of about $95.2691, and after a pullback can strengthen again, I will reduce my bearish bias rather than stubbornly holding for face. These are my observation conditions, not a market that has already happened. For this 10x long position, are you bullish or bearish? Please clearly state your reasons: do you value directional judgment more, or the margin for error under leverage?After a technical rebound on Monday, Asian stocks returned to a decline on Tuesday, as key U.S. earnings reports are due Wednesday, prompting tech stocks to remain relatively cautious.
Macroeconomic pressures persist, with Brent crude prices holding near $110, causing market confidence in AI trading to remain fragile. Meanwhile, SoftBank's credit risk has risen to its highest level in four years, further fueling market concerns.
During the Q3 U.S. earnings season, the market wants to see whether companies can prove that AI can generate profits to cover the heavy capital expenditures. South Korea's Elice Group is the first to face this test; due to macro pressures and market skepticism, the Korean stock market saw a sharp drop during the opening.
The key earnings reports on Wednesday are META and TSLA, both needing to provide satisfactory answers to the market:
META: Can revenue growth cover AI capital expenditures?
TSLA: Corporate profits still cannot support the AI and autonomous taxi narrative.
If these answers fail to meet market expectations, valuations of U.S. tech stocks will need adjustment; even meeting expectations will be suppressed by macro pressures. Only an earnings report that exceeds expectations can counter the current macro pressures! The focus now is on tonight's U.S. market performance! #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 After $BAT's price was pushed up by the market maker, no one took over the position, so the tokens couldn't be sold.S&P 500 Q2 2026 profits grew 47.4% YoY with Energy (135.3%), Communication Services (109.8%), and Consumer Discretionary (90.7%) leading the way. The chart shows Consumer Discretionary surged 91% in Q2. However, it is expected to be only 2% in Q3. The reason is that Amazon's GAAP EPS in Q2 included $53.4 billion in pre-tax non-operating income, mainly from investments in Anthropic. Alphabet recorded similar valuation gains. Therefore, if calculated without Alphabet and Amazon, the growthOil prices have returned to around $110 again, but what really makes me frown is not the oil price itself. Guess what the derivatives market is betting on now? On the surface, Middle East supply concerns have pushed crude back to $110.70, and the slight easing of U.S. restrictions on Russian energy hasn't calmed the sentiment. The combination of high oil prices, inflation, and interest rate pressure continues to weigh on risk assets. But strangely, last week's outflows from spot ETFs have actually narrowed—about $228 million for BTC, about $320 million for ETH, and about $26 million for SOL. Selling pressure is slowing down, but institutions have not returned. This is what I find most awkward: prices are hovering near key levels, but funds have no clear direction. From the perspective of capital preference, it's not about who is buying now, but that no one dares to make the first move. BTC is stuck at 80,000, ETH holds at 2,400, SOL watches 100—these three levels are like three thresholds. Without a breakout with volume, any rebound can only be considered a recovery, not a reversal. The derivatives side is even more subtle—if the funding rate is still positive and positions have not been clearly cleared, the so-called "slowdown in selling pressure" may just be shorts temporarily stepping back, not longs returning. Once oil prices push higher again, the first to be squeezed will be those highly leveraged short-term longs. A bullish path also exists: if oil prices peak and fall back, inflation expectations ease, ETF outflows continue to narrow or even turn positive, BTC breaks above 80,000 with volume, ETH follows 2,400, then altcoins have a chance to breathe. But this path requires volume confirmation, 【$527 million inflow in a single day, is $BTC starting a counterattack?】
The US BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of $526.7 million on Monday, hitting a new high since September 22. It looks like institutions are coming back in force, but breaking it down, BlackRock's IBIT alone absorbed $665.2 million, while Fidelity and Grayscale saw outflows of $83.6 million and $54.9 million respectively. IBIT is the only one with a net inflow in the entire market, so the money is not evenly distributed.
Previously, the ETF had a cumulative net outflow of about $617 million in October, and one day has reduced the gap to about $90.6 million. But this can only be seen as a recovery, not a complete bullish reversal yet.
On Monday, BTC ETFs attracted significant capital, but $ETH spot ETFs had a net outflow of $103.3 million, marking the fourth consecutive trading day of losses. Funds are temporarily more willing to bet on BTC, which does not mean the entire crypto market is strengthening simultaneously.
This is a buying signal worth noting, but a single day's inflow is not enough to confirm a trend reversal. The key things to watch next are: whether BTC ETFs can maintain continuous net inflows and whether prices can strengthen in sync. If funds keep flowing in and prices hold steady, this rally will look more like a genuine handoff; if it only lasts one day, it might just be a breather after a deep decline. Visa and Mesh are testing a practical distribution thesis: stablecoin spending may advance fastest when merchants need not adopt new rails. Routing and conversion behind existing Visa systems remove a visible friction point, but they do not establish recurring consumer demand. Coverage creates optionality; payment volume still has to be earned.
#VisaMeshStablecoinPay I recently discovered a very interesting US stock trading strategy: buy the S&P 500 before the midterm elections and sell it in April of the following year. Over the past 70+ years, backtesting shows a 100% profit rate! Right now is the critical moment, so I want to share it with everyone. Recently, I have been studying the US midterm elections and looked through the S&P 500's performance over the past several decades, finding a pretty interesting pattern. When we trade US stocks, we usually study the Federal Reserve, CPI, non-farm payrolls, and corporate earnings, constantly watching various data. But actually, the US midterm elections held every four years themselves present a trading window worth paying attention to. The strategy is simple: buy the S&P 500 in October of the midterm election year, hold until April of the next year, or continue holding until October of the next year. How impressive is the historical data? From 1950 to 2022, the US has experienced 19 midterm elections. If you buy the S&P 500 in October of the election year, based on historical average monthly prices: ① Holding until April of the next year yields an average return of +14.6%, with all 19 instances profitable. ② Holding until October of the next year yields an average return of +18.2%, also with all 19 instances profitable. ③ If you buy on the day of the midterm election and hold for 12 months, the average increase is about 15.1%, again with all 19 instances showing gains. In other words, over the past 70+ years, following this historical statistical approach and participating in this trading window every four years has produced very good results. Of course, it should be noted here that the first two sets of data use average monthly prices for backtesting, actuallyU.S. stocks in storage, optical communication, and cloud services fell broadly in pre-market trading; SK Hynix ADR down 4%+, SanDisk and Micron followed the decline.
Tonight SpaceX, tomorrow night Meta—two earnings reports answering the same question: Has the money spent on AI been earned back?
SpaceX: The combined xAI earnings report includes aerospace + Starlink + AI. Last quarter had $14.1 billion in cloud contracts, but contracts ≠ revenue ≠ cash.
• AI revenue structure: cloud computing power / Grok / enterprise clients
• Cost of growth: capital expenditure, free cash flow
• Starlink cash base: revenue per user, profit margin
Meta: Full-year capital expenditure guidance of $130–145 billion. Watching ad growth, conversion efficiency, profit margin, and next quarter guidance.
Core: The same capital expenditure has opposite meanings.
For chip suppliers = demand signal; for Meta shareholders = must answer the return.
Divergence path:
Only raising capital expenditure → equipment vendors benefit, investors under pressure
Revenue realization + cash convergence → pessimistic expectations can be repaired
Increased investment, delayed returns → even exceeding expectations by a single company can’t confirm a reversal
What the market cares about next: who can turn AI demand into returns shareholders can actually get.On the surface, it looks like the usual daily fluctuations of green and red all over the screen, but underneath, the preference of funds has quietly shifted seats. Have you noticed that the price is lively, but the money is quiet? My biggest impression from watching the market these past two days is that the rebound seems quite active, but the batch of money that truly decides the rhythm hasn't rushed to show its stance. The actions on the institutional side are more worth watching than short-term price changes, because once they pull back, the market will first show a weak rebound rather than a direct crash. This sequence is very important; many position mistakes come from mistaking weakness for accumulation. I noted in my own journal: I was too eager to wait for altcoins to catch up, and ended up ignoring the order of fund inflows. The corrected approach is to first see who gets continuous net inflows, rather than guessing who will rally first. $BTC's advantage lies in its more mature allocation base and smoother reception; once the market stabilizes, it is usually the first asset to be reconsidered. This is a bullish path, but the premise is that the stabilization is real, not just a brief bounce followed by weakness. On the $ETH side, I watch two signals: changes in spot ETF funds and whether ETH/BTC can stop falling and stabilize. If BTC stabilizes first but ETH/BTC remains weak, it means money is still staying in the most familiar place and hasn't moved outward. The sentiment for altcoins will be suppressed, and assets like ZEC, even with narratives, are more likely to become short pulses rather than sustained trends. Where is the risk? One is that the rebound is priced in too early; the other is that fund inflows only stop at the top, causing the structure to look narrower and narrower. I prefer to slow down the position rhythm by half a beat, waiting for continuous net inflows to confirm before adding, rather than at the first#SpaceX's first full quarterly report after going public will be revealed. I am still bullish on SpaceX, but I won't chase above 150 at all.
On October 13, it closed down 4.2%, retreating from 171.09 on October 5 to around 157.
This drop is not due to fundamentals: the FAA just accepted its environmental assessment application this Tuesday to increase the Starship base's annual launch cap from 25 to 456 and annual landings to 912; Falcon 9 completed its 35th commercial resupply mission to the ISS on Tuesday; Morgan Stanley reiterated a target price of 300, saying it is "cheap and getting cheaper."
What is suppressing the stock price is the capital side: the company is negotiating about $40 billion in financing to buy Nvidia chips (about $10 billion in bank loans + $30 billion in investment-grade debt), and starting October 9, the first batch of about 328 million shares will be unlocked, with an even larger batch after the Q3 report.
Fundamentals are accelerating, chips are increasing, so at times like this, don't chase highs, only buy on pullbacks.
The direction is bullish, waiting for a pullback.
Current price is about 157.51, with orders placed at 151-153, 143-145, 133-135, stop loss at 126, first target at 197.
The Q3 report will be released after market close on November 5, which is the next real variable.$BTC $ETH $SOL 【Volume-Based Market Observation】
It was expected that the rebound rally could proceed steadily, but it turned out to be another concentrated liquidation targeting the bulls. Total liquidations in 24 hours reached 155 million, with long position liquidations accounting for nearly 70%, clearly showing that the bulls were heavily harvested.
BTC and ETH are the hardest hit in liquidations, with BTC long liquidations making up 81.6% of its total liquidations, and ETH longs accounting for 65%, indicating many people chased longs during this rebound and were directly wiped out by the market. Second-tier assets like SOL and ZEC also mainly saw long liquidations, with red short liquidation blocks scattered and no obvious large-scale stop-loss among the shorts.
From a sentiment perspective, this is a long liquidation during the rebound. Many were triggered by the short-term recovery to fear missing out, hastily adding leverage to chase the rally, and the market then forced a sharp drop to clear out these new long positions. Shorts were not massively squeezed, meaning this is not yet a signal of a one-sided bullish turn.
What to watch next: whether longs can quickly regain lost ground after the liquidation; if the rebound lacks strength, market sentiment will turn cautious again.
Key observation points: whether long liquidations continue to expand, whether BTC’s key support holds, and ETF capital flows.There was a small rebound last night, and platform coins also rose!
$BNB around 728, 24h +0.6%, a ballast stone, driven by the depth of the BNB Chain ecosystem rather than speculative heat, not very elastic to drops, a typical defensive type.
$HYPE around 79, 24h +1%, funding rate +0.008%, longs are paying, indicating some are still betting on the bulls. Continuous burns + protocol revenue verified money printing narrative remains intact, the only one among the three with real cash flow.
$OKB around 114, dropped 4.5% on 10/15, the weakest, highly correlated with BTC purely following the market, eagerly waiting for ecosystem catalysts, otherwise just a volatile follower.
Platform coins are about cash flow; HYPE has the strongest logic, BNB is defensive, OKB is waiting for the wind.When prices fall, the group chat is full of "It's over," "The bull market is over," "It will halve again"... 😂 Yet very few actually dare to buy.
But once prices rise for several consecutive days and break through a key level, the moments on Moments and Weibo instantly become lively, with target prices shouted from 80,000 directly to 100,000, 120,000, fearing missing the next big surge.
Fear when prices fall, rush when they rise. 🤷
$BTC is currently fluctuating around 82,000-83,500, basically holding above the 50-day moving average near 80,600. Support below is seen at 80,000-81,000, with resistance above at 85,000.
$ETH is consolidating around 2,400, holding the 200-day moving average near 2,345, with short-term resistance at 2,480-2,500. The overall structure is intact but momentum is moderate; an effective breakout is needed to open a major direction.
Looking at a longer timeline, Bitcoin indeed rose more than 40% in Q3, and ETFs previously saw large capital inflows. Although short-term disruptions from the Fed meeting and inflation data exist, the long-term supply and demand pattern has not worsened.
True opportunities often hide when everyone else dares not touch them. Waiting until the market heats up to chase usually means prices are already expensive.
#ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？
#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓
#奈飞财报在即，广告业务成新看点 $BTC ETF brought in $527 million yesterday! Don't get too excited!!!
Brothers, seeing the ETF net inflow of $527 million yesterday, do you think Bitcoin is stable now?
Don't be silly! Look closely, it's all BlackRock buying, while the others are actually quietly selling!
The main players are using the data to push prices up and accumulate, while covering for retail investors to enter and lift the price. As a result, the market corrected sharply today, and those who chased the high yesterday are completely stuck!
Now the technicals continue to weaken, and the rebound is totally weak. At this time, don't impulsively chase longs; the main players may reverse and dump the market at any time. This is a perfect opportunity for us to short on rallies and take short-term profits!
Let's continue the strategy from this morning: a weak rebound is a good time to open shorts! The first target is the 80,000 round number, the second target is 78,000!
$ZEC $SOL #ETF continues to flow out, can BTC's rebound continue? It's really brutal, the Korean stock market is being jointly sold short by foreign institutional investors again, and Hynix has already been halved in this panic atmosphere. Can it recover after this joint beating?
This drop really can't be blamed on Hynix; it's not because of poor performance, but because it was hurt by rising crude oil prices. High interest rates caused a global tech stock crash + collective withdrawal of foreign institutional investors + emotional stampede, resulting in this tragedy.
This drop has little to do with Hynix itself; the main reasons are threefold:
1. Crude oil is the master switch, putting pressure on U.S. bonds, and the Korean stock market is one of the markets with the highest foreign ownership, so foreign institutions are collectively fleeing.
From September to October, foreign investors net sold 12 trillion KRW worth of Hynix shares, directly halving Hynix's price, with collective selling pressure that retail investors couldn't absorb.
2. The previous 55 trillion KRW semiconductor stock buyback plan that supported the stock price has now officially ended, with no follow-up support.
3. Global memory stocks are collectively falling; Hynix is a leveraged amplified version. With SanDisk and Micron collapsing in succession, and Hynix being the leader in HBM, the combined effect is even more severe.
To recover in the short term:
First, crude oil must fall.
Second, U.S. bond yields must decline.
Third, foreign capital must gradually return.
In the long term, recovery is just a matter of time because this is an emotional sell-off caused by crude oil staying above 100, creating pressure. Once energy inflation from crude oil subsides, capital will slowly flow back.
Because Hynix's industry position remains, its performance is gradually improving, and AI computing power is shifting from training to inference, storage demand will expand again, so a rebound is just a matter of time.
In the short term, expect Hynix to fluctuate, consolidate, and form a bottom; in the long term, Hynix is still a buy and expected to rise.
Currently, Hynix is priced at 917, and it's perfectly feasible to slowly go long with 3x leverage, buying in batches at 900-850-800. The cycle won't be too long since it has already boarded the Nasdaq spaceship.#Strive Large-scale Accumulation, Strategy Buyback Scale Exceeds Coin Purchase
Previously, these companies would just mindlessly buy once they got the money, but now each has a completely different calculation.
First, look at Strive, a typical aggressive player. In one week, they swept up another 4,045 BTC, with total holdings approaching 37,000 BTC. Their CEO is very straightforward, aiming to continuously increase the coin content per share. This move is actually very clever, equivalent to using a traditional company shell to indirectly add leverage of BTC for shareholders.
Next, look at Ethereum whale BitMine, which follows an interest-earning strategy. They increased their holdings by over 12,000 ETH, with total holdings accounting for nearly 5% of the entire circulating Ethereum supply. The most ruthless part is that most of it is staked, which means they benefit on both ends—gaining from coin price appreciation and earning network interest.
The most interesting is the veteran player Strategy. This week, they symbolically bought only 267 BTC but then spent $193 million to buy back their preferred shares. What does this indicate? It shows that large funds are starting to be more calculated at this stage. Under the current macro environment, the cost-effectiveness of buying coins is temporarily not as high as buying back their own stock to stabilize the base.
Whether they continue aggressive buying, earn interest, or do buybacks, at least it shows institutional funds are still in this pool and have not completely withdrawn, just switching methods to weather this winter. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC $ETH $ZEC
### Sectors Where Funds Are Concentrating
1. **Privacy Coin Sector**: This sector has the highest fund attention today. ZEC and XMR are clearly attracting capital. Funds tend to favor this sector as a safe haven narrative; when the overall market is unstable, funds like to hide here, with frequent pulse-like movements.
2. **AI Computing Power Sector**: Funds are making small back-and-forth trades, such as TAO and WLD. This is intermittent rotation; after a rise, a pullback is common, and sustainability is generally limited.
3. **Storage Sector** (the $FIL you care about): Only a small amount of short-term funds are playing here. It’s leftover capital making minor moves, not a main theme. There was a rally a few days ago, but most funds have now withdrawn. It can only passively rebound with the overall market and struggles to strengthen independently.
4. **SOL Ecosystem Small Coins**: A small number of speculative funds are quickly entering and exiting. These small coins show strong explosive potential but also heavy dumping, making them very risky.
### Simple Summary
Currently, market funds are conservative. Most funds are either watching or hiding in privacy coins for safety, with no major leading sectors. Storage $FIL is just a secondary rotation, not the main focus of current funds. In this market, avoid chasing high-priced altcoins; rotations are too fast, and it’s easy to buy at the top.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index closed up 1.61%, ending an eight-day losing streak, with memory stocks leading the gains. But Old Mo says this is an oversold rebound, not a reversal.
Barclays bluntly states that the "best phase" of AI trading is over. The core problem lies in financing: cloud providers' capital expenditure next year is about 1.2 trillion, at least 35% of which must come from bond issuance. CoreWeave's bond yields have soared to 15%. Goldman Sachs warns that if credit tightens, the semiconductor industry may face an "order cliff" in the next two years. This week's earnings reports from Meta and others will be the litmus test—the market wants monetization, not just promises.
BTC current price is about 82,200, with support at 81,400-81,700 and resistance at 83,000. For those with positions, set stop-loss below 80,500; for those without positions, wait for a pullback to support with reduced volume to stabilize before entering—don't chase the rally.
Whether the AI market can continue depends not on K-lines but on earnings reports. What do you think? Let's discuss in the comments. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 📊 Daily Brief｜October 20, 2026
🌐 Market: Total market cap around $2.84 trillion, BTC Dominance about 57.7%, funds still favor BTC. BTC around $82K–83K, currently testing the key level you’re watching at $82,800. The market overall has shifted from a decline to a consolidation and recovery phase.
💰 Volume/Funds: Recent total 24h market volume is about $60–75 billion, still not reaching the sustained volume increase needed for a full bullish rally. BTC spot ETF had a net outflow of about $229 million last week, but on October 19 suddenly saw a net inflow of $526.7 million, showing a clear improvement in funding.
📈 Phase: Bull Score 57/100; Altcoin Season 57/100;
Assessment = early bull/recovery preparation phase. Altcoins are spreading but have not yet reached the true altcoin season standard of 75 points.
🚀 Potential coin: PONS.
💡 Quote of the day: The ETF has already turned first, but the price hasn’t fully caught up yet; 82,800 is the threshold, 90,000 is the starting gun — currently, you should position early, but it’s not yet time to go all in.Both BTC and ETH are recovering, but ETF funds have not yet turned around together
BTC returned to around $82,000 in early trading, and ETH is hovering around $2,400. It looks like both have stabilized a bit, but I don't want to call this small rebound a reversal just yet.
Looking at the most recent full trading week (October 12–16), the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $228.4 million, and the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $320.1 million. The direction is the same—outflows; the intensity differs, with ETH outflows exceeding BTC by about $91.7 million. At least for now, there’s no sign that "institutions have come back to buy"; it seems more like prices have stopped falling first, while funds remain cautious. ETF flows don’t represent the entire market’s capital, but they are an important buying force in this rally and can’t be ignored.
I will watch two things: whether BTC can hold $82,000 and reclaim $83,000, and whether ETH can get back above $2,450; then see if ETFs continuously turn to net inflows. Price recovery followed by capital inflow makes the rebound more credible. Otherwise, I’d rather do less and not mistake a stop in the decline for a market reversal.
Do you think the buying has returned first this time, or have the shorts just taken a breather?
$BTC #ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ $ETH $SOL $ETH is running, but the three run differently, don't treat it as the same thing.
$BTC: Fidelity FBTC outflow of 83.63 million, BlackRock IBIT inflow of 665 million, net inflow of 527 million overall — selling pressure hasn't disappeared, it's just been absorbed. 81823 is the most honest level; only if it recovers can we talk about the continuation of the rebound, failure to recover means consolidation and consumption between 80781.
ETH is the most worrisome: Fidelity's retreat is more decisive than BTC's, institutions are reducing positions rather than waiting; supported at 2380–2390, moving averages at 2410–2430 are pressing down, each high is lower than the last, capital pressure is structural — sellers are more urgent than buyers.
$SOL is the most conflicted: ETF outflow is the smallest, yet the price is pressed near 100, 50-day EMA at 106.73 is the ceiling, 200-day EMA at 98.61 is the last defense; on-chain active addresses hit a 13-month high, daily new wallets 1.7 million, but ETF is still withdrawing — more users but less investment, this divergence means either the ETF is mistaken or the price will capitulate first.
In 24 hours, long positions exploded to 104 million, short positions were also liquidated; don't believe "it should rise after falling too much" under this two-way squeeze. Macro-wise, the probability of no action in October is about 79%, but tail risks of rate hikes remain after CPI and PPI exceeded expectations. #ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ TSMC's earnings report shows truly strong growth, but there is also a notable change to watch.
In Q3 2026, net profit increased by 68.7% year-over-year, revenue reached $46.72 billion, up 41.2% year-over-year, with earnings per ADR at $4.60.
Advanced processes of 7nm and below have contributed 79% of wafer revenue, with 2nm accounting for 8%.
More importantly, TSMC expects Q4 revenue to reach $52.3 billion to $54.3 billion, even higher than Q3. This indicates that demand for AI and advanced processes remains very strong.
However, profit margins are starting to face pressure.
Q3 gross margin was 66.4%, which, although significantly higher year-over-year, declined by 1.3 percentage points quarter-over-quarter. The main reason is the cost from ramping up 2nm capacity, and upcoming overseas factory costs will continue to have an impact.
My view is that TSMC currently does not lack demand; the real test is whether it can massively expand production while maintaining profit margins.
The Q4 gross margin guidance is 65%–67%. Let's see if they can hold steady!
Long-term, I remain optimistic about TSMC.

Nevertheless, this event remains symbolic; it not only adds a token contract to a traditional exchange but also enables institutions to express their price views on DeFi assets through standardized derivatives.

#ETF持续流出，BTC反弹能否延续？ The corporate treasury narrative of $SOL (DAT) recently had a rather interesting counterexample 🧐
On October 19, SkyAI disclosed that the company has sold all its SOL holdings and is now holding a large amount of cash to prepare for a stock buyback.
This move is somewhat dramatic 😂
A few years ago, when the crypto treasury concept was booming, listed companies competed to stuff BTC and SOL onto their balance sheets, as if just buying coins could conveniently gain a valuation premium in the capital market.
But now, some companies are starting to do the opposite...
Actually, it's not hard to understand. When a company thinks buying back its own stock is more cost-effective, continuing to hold coins may not be the best capital allocation.
Of course, one company's decision doesn't represent the entire industry; but at least it reminds us that corporate treasury coin holdings demand can also change.
Public companies ultimately have to do the economic math; storytelling can't go on forever.
#MSCI新规冲击财库股，Strategy公开反对 @OKX星球 Hold on to the AAPL cash cow, holding good companies will bring good returns, steady rise $AAPL $ARB broke below the previous low, no buying for now
The 5-minute candlestick for ARB just closed at 0.19088 USDT, already below the previous few hours' low of 0.19232 USDT. I don't plan to buy at this level because the price is below the lower boundary of the range, and the reference high of 0.20074 is currently out of reach; the short-term structure is weak.
The recent 15-minute spot trading volume is about 3.12 times the average per 15 minutes over the previous 3 hours, while the price dropped 1.21%. The volume-increasing downward candlestick makes me more inclined to wait and see rather than rush to catch a rebound.
My approach is: wait for the next 5-minute close to move back above 0.19232 USDT before reassessing long opportunities. Chasing shorts now is uncomfortable since the price has already dropped, and there is no new reference point below.
