Global central banks raise interest rates in unison: Federal Reserve, Europe, Japan, India, none left out.
China's central bank, alone, is easing liquidity.
Today it injected 700 billion, net injection 200 billion;
On October 8, it injected 1.2 trillion, net injection also only 200 billion.
In ten days, twice, net injection 400 billion.
Why is China's central bank acting opposite to the rest of the world?
Because in 2025, China's CPI is 0, PPI falls 2.6%.
Others fight inflation, China fights deflation.
Latest data as of September 2026:
CPI +0.9%;
PPI +5.0%, highest since July 2022.
Non-ferrous metals +21.4%, coal +35.3%, oil +24.5%.
Deflation is no longer the problem.
The problem is, the central bank is still easing liquidity—
Old illness just healed, medicine cannot be stopped abruptly.
China's central bank is truly a super attentive super nanny. $BTC #FromRateCutsToHikes, all Fed disagreements are public 💥 CPI across the board exploded, expectations for rate cuts were directly dashed, and the bearish atmosphere instantly intensified.📉
BTC data then plunged sharply to around 82,800, followed by repeated spikes between 82,000 and 84,000. The 81,000–82,000 range is the current key support; once 80,000 is broken, the downside space will open further.
ETH fell below 2,480, ETH ETF is still seeing outflows, and BlackRock's retreat makes short-term pressure more obvious; however, leverage has been compressed, rates have turned negative, and short covering could be triggered at any time.
The macro hammer is pressing down, large funds are withdrawing for safety, and the market is short-term dominated by bears. This wave is not a simple shakeout but a repricing under expectations of tightening liquidity.
My current strategy: don’t stubbornly hold high-leverage longs, first watch liquidation prices and secondary confirmation. If BTC can’t hold 82,000, reduce risk first; if ETH can’t reclaim 2,480–2,500, don’t rush to bottom fish.

#US September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, core inflation exceeded expectations Previously, ETFs had continuous outflows, the market just wiped out over 800 million in leverage, and most of the floating positions have been shaken out. Now, the remaining positions are basically all betting on data direction. If the core month-on-month really hits 0.3%, the probability of a rate hike in October will jump directly from 17%, BTC will first test the 80,000 support, and altcoins will collectively get hammered; if it comes out at 0.2% or even lower, the long bulls who have been holding back will rush up in one wave. Institutions haven't been idle either; Strive just spent 235 million yesterday to increase holdings by 2,822 BTC, with total holdings reaching 3 billion, but in the short term, they can't withstand macro pressure.$BTC Once tonight's US inflation data is released, many friends watching BTC will probably feel a jolt in their hearts. Originally, the market was expecting inflation to cool down, but the screenshot shows that both the September CPI and core CPI year-on-year were higher than expected. 📊 Let's first look at the data released this time: 🔹 Overall CPI YoY: 3.7%, expected 3.6%, previous 3.4%. 🔹 Core CPI YoY: 2.6%, expected 2.5%, previous 2.4%. 🔹 CPI MoM: 0.6%, in line with expectations. 🔹 Core CPI MoM: 0.3%, higher than the expected 0.2%. There is a noteworthy point in this set of data. It's not just energy prices that may have pushed up overall inflation; core inflation excluding food and energy also showed a rebound. This means inflationary pressure may not subside as easily as the market previously imagined. 💰 So why does BTC need to pay attention? The logic is actually very simple. If inflation is higher than expected, the Federal Reserve's likelihood of maintaining high interest rates or even further raising rates in the future may increase. And rising interest rate expectations often affect market risk appetite. Simply put, when US Treasury bonds can offer higher yields, some funds may reconsider the opportunity cost of holding high-volatility assets like BTC. But here is a problem. CPI exceeding expectations does not necessarily mean BTC will fall. How the market ultimately moves still depends on US Treasury yields, the US dollar index, and the actual buying and selling reactions. 💡 My personal view: What really deserves attention this time is not that the CPI was 0.- Once the 7% figure came out, the market's bit of wishful thinking was immediately crushed. Have you noticed that what's really being traded isn't inflation itself, but rather "whether the rate cut can still come on time"? The US CPI reported 3.7%, slightly higher than the expected 3.6%, and the core CPI also rose from the expected 2.5% to 2.6%. The numbers differ by only 0.1, but for interest rate path pricing, this deviation is enough for short-term funds to recalculate. BTC slid from 83.9K to 82.8K, ETH dropped from 2,515 to 2,479, with reactions almost instantaneous and little hesitation. My own feeling is that this drop isn't severe but very "honest." It didn't trigger panic selling but left those chasing highs out in the cold. This indicates that the current risk appetite hasn't truly expanded; everyone was just tentatively adding some positions during the data vacuum period, and once macro variables emerged, the first reaction was to pull back. From the perspective of fund behavior, this looks more like a collective deleveraging rather than an independent weakness in a particular sector. BTC and ETH fell in sync, indicating that mainstream funds hadn't hedged before the data release, or rather, they chose to bet on a dovish outcome. The part of the expectation priced in early was precisely the assumption that "3.6% will be smoothly achieved." Now that this assumption has been slightly revised, prices have to find a new balance. The bullish logic isn't absent either. Although the core CPI at 2.6% is higher than expected, the absolute level is not considered lostThe hardest part of this round isn't the direction, but the rhythm always being half a beat slow: just confirmed weakness, then it gets pulled up; just wanted to short, but the short positions became fuel first.
The liquidation data at noon is worth looking at:
【1 hour】Liquidations about $4.2 million, shorts about $3.1 million, accounting for 74%.
【4 hours】Liquidations about $18.6 million, shorts about $12.1 million, accounting for 65%.
Positions swept in short cycles are still concentrated on the short side.
$BTC and $ETH also show divergence:
BTC 24-hour liquidations about $27 million, shorts around 80%;
ETH 24-hour liquidations about $24 million, shorts around 60%.
BTC shorts are squeezed harder, indicating more urgent short covering during the rebound.
The easiest trap here is mistaking "previous sharp drop" for "safe to short now." Short stop-losses and forced liquidations require buying back, and the buying pressure will push prices up. The more eager you are to short, the more likely you hit the short covering.
Next, just watch: after the rally, can the pullback be supported? If someone supports it, the rebound has the confidence to continue; if no one supports on the pullback, beware of insufficient follow-through.
My idea is simple: wait for the pullback, see the support, then decide. Don't be afraid to short when it falls, then finally gather courage when it rises, only to get taught a lesson right after chasing in. #US September CPI YoY rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations #TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profit performance to be revealed Today's market movement is mainly triggered by the US CPI data exceeding expectations. September inflation rose 3.7% year-over-year, higher than market expectations, causing renewed concerns about whether the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates or even consider another rate hike. The strengthening of the US dollar and US Treasury yields naturally put pressure on $BTC and $ETH.
Looking at $BTC, it briefly fell below $82,000, indicating that short-term selling pressure has not been fully released. The key focus now is whether the $80,000 level can hold, with resistance around $83,000–$84,000 during any rebound. If the rebound lacks volume support, it means the rebound is just an illusion.
$ETH performed relatively weaker, with prices dropping to around $2,428. The short-term focus is on the $2,400 level, and whether it can reclaim $2,500 is also critical. Since Bitcoin hasn't stabilized yet, it’s not easy for Ethereum to independently show strong momentum.
International gold prices also failed to hold up, mainly due to the stronger dollar and rising US Treasury yields, which reduce gold's appeal. The key level to watch next is $4,000, and whether it can hold is very important.
What needs the most caution now is not the decline itself, but the market's volatile sentiment. Don’t rush to bottom-fish just because of a drop, nor assume a trend reversal just because of a rebound. Wait for key levels to stabilize before judging the subsequent direction. #US September CPI rises 3.7% YoY, core inflation exceeds expectations #BTC spot ETF sees net outflows again, can institutional buying recover? Funds Speak the Truth: BTC Rebounds, ETH Struggles, SOL Sneaks Buys💸
$BTC
24-hour contract net inflow of 194 million, spot +44.7 million, short-term both green. Don't pop the champagne yet: weekly still bleeding 2.8 billion, monthly leaking 5.3 billion, 12-hour outflow of 102 million. This 194 million looks more like end-of-day replenishment, a rebound test, not a reversal.🧪
$ETH
Contract +57.55 million, spot -110 million. One wants to bottom-fish, the other is busy retreating, bulls and bears not shaking hands. Big money is divided, spot keeps being sold, contracts increase, usually spot leads contracts. Chasing now risks getting hit from both sides.✋
$SOL
Contract -16.2 thousand, basically flat; spot +33.39 million, someone quietly accumulating. Bullish but not daring to leverage, spot dollar-cost averaging steadier than contracts. Weekly spot +20.06 million, the only mainstream to turn positive.🌱
Summary of the three: BTC tests inflow, ETH bulls and bears fight, SOL quietly buys spot. Common point is weekly and monthly still outflowing, big money overall cautious. BTC is strong, but the market is only testing, no all-in.🕯️Feeling it lately? It's the same pattern as in September. The Fed rate hike is basically a done deal. The market drops continuously before the meeting, then rebounds after the rate hike announcement on the meeting day. This is another case of the rate hike being priced in early, with the negative news fully absorbed in advance. #October rate hike expectations fall, tonight's PCE is key 486,532 cars served on the table, the plate is big enough, but the broth is 2.1% weaker — the financial report hasn't been released yet, but the kitchen's ledger is already turning bitter.
In the cooking business, quantity and flavor have always been two different things. Tesla pushed its delivery volume to a historic high this quarter, even more than those waiting in line expected, but regular customers know: a higher table turnover rate doesn't necessarily mean each dish is cooked to perfection. The car's gross margin is that pot of broth, simmered with beef, radish, and time; delivery volume is just adding water to the pot. No matter how much water you add, if you can't skim off that layer of oil, the taste won't be rich. Cash flow is the fire under the stove; the flame looks strong, but if the pot is empty, all you get is a hollow sizzle.
The real suspense is in the front of the house. The autonomous driving taxi menu has been drawn up for years, beautifully designed but with prices yet to be set; the humanoid robot dish is more like molecular gastronomy, with chefs tinkering with precise instruments in the lab—no one knows if it will be Michelin three-star or a culinary disaster until it's served. Capital market diners are the least patient; they want to flip the table before the appetizers are fully served.
I've stood at the stove for twenty years; what I fear most isn't picky eaters, but imbalance in the recipe. This investment portfolio is just like hosting a banquet: mainstream coins are the main dishes that hold the table; altcoins are the seasonings—Sichuan peppercorn, star anise, chili flakes—that enhance flavor, but too much overwhelms the taste; leveraged contracts are the extra-spicy chili jar—if the chef shakes and dumps it all in, the whole pot is ruined, diners get burned by the third bite, and the next day they don't even want to see the stove. Earnings night is when the fire is turned up to the max, smoke and spatters everywhere; adding more chili at this point isn't cooking, it's acrobatics.
Tokenized U.S. stocks cool down slower than traditional markets but heat up faster. Others only get to eat after the close, but your pot is on all day, watching the fire even at 3 a.m.; a moment's distraction and the bottom burns. When Tesla's report is served, the broth will first splash onto this plate—whether it's fragrant or oily depends entirely on the two chefs at the stove—one managing the gross margin's richness, the other the story's progress.
If the broth isn't simmered right, no matter how much beef you pile in, it's just beef. #TeslaQ3ProfitAndMargins The US core CPI year-on-year rose to 2.6%, hitting the highest level in nearly three months, and inflationary pressure excluding food and energy has not disappeared.
This is one of the key indicators the Federal Reserve focuses on when assessing inflation trends. Once price pressure continues to rise, expectations for rate cuts will be suppressed, and the US dollar and Treasury yields are more likely to gain support.
There are two main points to watch: whether 2.6% is higher or lower than market expectations, and the second round of market reaction after the US stock market opens. If the data exceeds expectations, there may be another short-term wave of selling pressure; but if the market has already priced in the risk of rising inflation and spot buying can timely catch the dip, a rebound after the negative news is more likely.
Whether the key support holds will determine if the bulls have another chance to regain the initiative.
$BTC $ETHTwenty-four words are the entire piece set of a chess game — and someone slipped this set into the opponent's pocket before you even made your first move.
In the game of hardware wallets, the private key is the king, and the mnemonic phrase is the king's move trajectory. Once the trajectory leaks, the king no longer has a hiding square. This incident is not a midgame tactical error; the opening sequence was tampered with: a device embedded during assembly copied the twenty-four words at the moment of initialization, then used the mobile communication network to send the game record out. Distributors in six Southeast Asian countries and Hong Kong were ordered to stop; the entire supply chain was cut off at the root — this is not a simple exchange of pieces, but someone planted a poisoned pawn in your rear flank in advance.
Third-party estimates put the loss at over 86 million USD. Official statements claim no breach in direct sales channels — but grandmasters never trust "no breach found," only the layer they have calculated. You don't see the flaw usually not because the board is clean, but because that hand hasn't moved to the square where it should be revealed. The truly terrifying thing is never being put in check, but being strangled: by the time you realize the danger, there is no move left to respond.
Chain retailers withdrawing first indicates they sensed something off on the board. Commercial institutions do not make pointless sacrifices; they only exit proactively when judging the situation is already unbalanced.
Where did the money go? When the custody supply chain cracks, funds don't stay put waiting to be taken; they immediately seek new flanks. The strengthening of tokenized US stock targets reflects this logic — $xGOOGL and similar targets provide regulatory squares, audit squares, and institutional-grade notation systems. This is not a judgment of value but pure chess logic: once a pawn breaks through, the rook must immediately advance to the open file; hesitating even a beat means being counterattacked first.
The question in the endgame is never "can tampering be detected." That is an amateur player's concern, always looking for a defensive move. The professional question is: do you dare to admit in a passive position that the mnemonic burden of twenty-four words is itself a permanent human weakness? As long as this weakness exists, every device not unboxed by your own hands could be a pre-set Zugzwang.
When the opponent can secretly solder into your opening library in advance, this game is long gone from the board — it’s on the factory assembly line. #ledgerwalletsaleshaltCPI data is out, matching the second scenario I wrote about a couple of days ago‼️
Core CPI month-on-month is 0.3%, not falling to 0.2%, overall year-on-year 3.7% is even higher than expected
I said at the time that a core of 0.3% is troublesome, $BTC will test 80400. The direction is right, but the magnitude is milder than I thought
Bitwise's CIO said he originally expected a drop of 3 to 5 points, but it only dropped about 1 point, which he thinks is quite resilient
The probability of a rate hike in October jumped from 22% directly to 49%, the 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.329%, just three basis points away from the 2024 high
Gasoline rose 9.1%, accounting for more than half of the overall increase, pushed by the Middle East. But within the core, airfares, used cars, and medical costs are also rising, which can't be explained by oil prices
At this position, don't be overly bearish, those with positions should reduce them if needed, don't be too rigid, it's better to be cautious if 80,000 is not broken
$ETH has been relatively weak these two weeks, basically falling about two points more than BTC, first see if 2400 can hold
#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 [High-Altitude Observation Urgent Report] On October 12, a warm and humid airflow from the upper echelons of traditional finance is colliding with the cold front that has long hovered over stablecoins—the Standard Chartered Bank announced institutional custody for Ripple's USD stablecoin RLUSD. This is not a light drizzle; it signals a sudden tightening of the pressure gradient.
I am watching the isobar map in the duty room and see three air currents converging: The first is the custody channel, with Standard Chartered providing a safe harbor for institutional funds; the second is trading and collateral management, with Ripple and LMAX Group applying to launch sounding balloons, awaiting testing and approval windows; the third and most critical—the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board is soliciting opinions on whether qualifying stablecoins can be classified as cash equivalents. Everyone, this is a circulation transformation at the accounting level, and once implemented, the monsoon direction of institutional funds will be completely changed.
Anyone in our field knows that what truly determines drought or flood is not a single heavy rain but whether the water cycle is unblocked. Custody is the reservoir, trading is the river channel, and accounting standards form the closed loop of evaporation and precipitation. These three segments are now under simultaneous construction. Stablecoins are no longer isolated clouds drifting on-chain; they are being integrated into the atmospheric circulation system of traditional finance.
For the U.S. stock mapped asset $xSNDK, this is a typical frontal passage. The ground temperature of market sentiment was high in the early stage, with the greed index like asphalt in midsummer, heat waves distorting vision; meanwhile, the cold air of institutional custody presses down from the upper levels, easily triggering strong convection—short-term violent fluctuations, sudden volume surges, and repeated tug-of-war between bulls and bears within a narrow range. I do not predict whether a cloud will rain; I only observe vertical wind shear and relative humidity. The current structure shows: the vapor conditions of underlying liquidity are improving, but there are still uncertain vortices of approval and testing aloft; any slight official adjustment could sweep the market like a squall line.
More notably is the revision consultation on accounting standards. The recognition of cash equivalents essentially grants institutional funds "docking berths." Without berths, ships can only circle nearshore; with berths, long-cycle air masses like pension and insurance funds dare to land. This explains why custody and trading frameworks must advance simultaneously—they are three precipitation centers on the same front, none dispensable.
Short-term weather map judgment: RLUSD-related news belongs to a mesoscale convective system, with high heat and short life cycle, prone to dry cold downdrafts after emotional peaks. In the medium term, if the standards are implemented, it will be a climate-level circulation adjustment, upgrading from "showers" to a "plum rain belt," with extended duration and impact range. As the mapped asset, $xSNDK will digest expectations ahead of fundamentals; volatility will inevitably rise, and direction depends on the movement path of the approval thunderstorm clusters.
Radar echoes show the convergence zone of traditional finance and on-chain assets is narrowing, energy accumulating. The sounding data from my observation station only restores the true atmospheric structure; it does not hold an umbrella for anyone. #standardcharteredrlusdBottom at 80,000 or chase the rise at 86,000? CPI will decide (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
Tonight's CPI is the starting gun for a shift in the crypto market. If the core month-on-month rate lands at 0.2%, BTC may first stabilize above 83,000, then test 86,000; if it hits 0.3% or higher, the 80,000 level might be lost, seeking support lower (｡•́︿•̀｡).
The market has already started to hedge. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $681 million last week, ending three consecutive weeks of inflows; Ethereum ETFs also outflowed $542 million, with institutions closing positions amid macro uncertainty (╯﹏╰).
The real tension lies in the market pricing being out of sync with the Fed's path. Prediction markets assign about a 67% chance that BTC will fall below 80,000 in October, indicating that "core CPI exceeding expectations" has not yet been fully priced in ( • ̀ω•́ )✧.
In terms of strategy, don't get ahead of the data: deleverage and trade less. If core CPI is 0.2%, consider light positions to bet on a rebound, targeting 85,000-86,000; if 0.3% or higher, avoid aggressively buying at 81,000, wait for a pullback to the dense on-chain zone at 77,000-78,000 to accumulate in batches. Also keep an eye on ETH ETF fund flows and foundation-related wallet movements (๑•́ ₃ •̀๑).I saw that Grayscale added a new custodian to the Dogecoin Trust, so I thought about it a bit.
I came across a rather niche piece of news: Grayscale's Dogecoin Trust ETF just added Anchorage Digital as a second custodian. Previously, only Coinbase held the keys; now there's a second custodian.
What does this have to do with the price? It seems like nothing; $DOGE is still hovering around 0.085 today. But think about it—an institution managing tens of millions of dollars in Dogecoin specifically added a custodian with a federal banking license, fearing that losing a single key would be catastrophic.
Then I saw some community data from 2026. Dogecoin's X (Twitter) has 4.4 million followers, Reddit has 2.6 million members—both numbers rank first among all crypto projects. But the official Discord only has 530 people online.
4.4 million followers, 530 people chatting. What are the rest doing? Probably like me, bought and held, usually silent, but if something really happens, even one-tenth stepping up means 440,000 buyers.
The number of custodians went from one to two, the community is the largest but the chatroom is the quietest. Put these two facts together in one sentence—the foundation of Dogecoin isn’t in the chatrooms, it’s in the hands of those silent holders. Keep holding $DOGE.Same drop, different ledgers
BTC, ETH, SOL, and OKB all took a hit today, but breaking down the market shows that the four do not share the same negative factors.
SOL dropped the fastest, mainly pressured by derivatives: there are $120 million short positions on the books, but the spot market hasn't seen a synchronized mass sell-off. This kind of drop looks more like the leveraged side being targeted, with sentiment amplifying the decline, which doesn't mean the chips have completely loosened.
BTC is more like "scary on the surface, not so scary inside." The ETF side saw $450 million redeemed, but at the same time, whales picked up 15,000 coins. With inflows and outflows balancing, the net outflow was clearly hedged. So it’s also falling, but the funds are not collapsing one-sidedly.
ETH is different. The ETF has had net redemptions for 8 consecutive days, totaling $640 million outflows. This is not market intimidation but a real capital withdrawal. Compared to SOL’s "fierce drop," ETH’s decline is more of a "real drop."
OKB weakened in sync but currently lacks independent capital clues, more like being dragged down by overall risk appetite.
The conclusion is straightforward: the extent of the drop does not equal the truth. SOL is a resonance of sentiment and derivatives, BTC has buffering from supporting orders, and ETH is under real redemption pressure. As for "has institutional demand weakened?" BTC is still wavering, while ETH has given a clearer answer. Next, watch two things: whether ETF redemptions continue and whether whale accumulation persists. The former determines sentiment, the latter determines the bottom.
$BTC $ETH The US September CPI data is out, all exceeding expectations: Core CPI annual rate at 2.6% (expected 2.5%), monthly rate at 0.3% (expected 0.2%), the signal of inflation rebound is clearly evident.
With the data high, the Federal Reserve's rate cut steps have to be postponed. Rate cut expectations cool down, US Treasury yields tend to rise, and risk assets like Bitcoin naturally come under pressure first. The market is already starting to bet on three rate hikes next year.
Next, watch two things: the actual reaction after the US Treasury yield announcement, and whether spot buying can hold the chips. The scenario of a rebound after a negative event has been seen several times this year.
$BTC$POL Polygon has started automating stablecoin payments, moving on-chain payments toward real business use.
On October 12, Polygon updated the Open Money Stack with a new automated stablecoin batch payment feature. Companies can predefine the range of recipient addresses, payment budgets, and execution time windows. Payments are triggered according to the rules at specified intervals without needing to re-sign each time.
This kind of feature may not be as eye-catching as a token's price surge, but it solves very practical problems for companies using stablecoins: scenarios like payroll, vendor settlements, and platform revenue sharing often require regular payments while controlling limits, recipients, and execution permissions.
The key of the new feature is to preset these rules and have the wallet verify them on-chain. Requests exceeding limits, recipient ranges, or validity periods will be rejected, and teams can also disable rules in advance.
Of course, launching the feature does not mean it has been widely adopted yet. The future depends on how many companies actually integrate it, whether payment volumes grow, and how much real demand these businesses bring to the Polygon ecosystem.
Competition among stablecoins is also expanding from "who issues more coins" to "who can make money easier to receive, pay, and settle."
If companies can arrange on-chain payments like setting up automatic transfers in the future, stablecoins will have the chance to evolve from trading tools into everyday payment infrastructure. $POL #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 ，对$BTC 和$ETH 的影响？
The US September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, with core inflation exceeding expectations. What is the impact on $BTC and $ETH?
The US September CPI exceeded expectations, directly bearish for Bitcoin and Ethereum, both of which fell in response, with Ethereum experiencing a deeper decline.
After the data release, Bitcoin quickly dropped from about $83,800 to around $81,600, while Ethereum fell to about $2,430, a decline of 2.8%. The core logic is: core inflation rose 0.3% month-on-month, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve will continue raising interest rates. The probability of a rate hike in October surged from 22% to nearly double, reaching 44%-49%. The 2-year US Treasury yield immediately jumped 10 basis points to 4.9%, increasing the appeal of risk-free returns and directly withdrawing speculative funds from the crypto market.
Leverage structures amplified the decline. Over the past 24 hours, more than $281 million in derivatives positions were liquidated, the vast majority being long Bitcoin positions betting on a rise, forced to close and further pushing prices down. Ethereum's situation is weaker; its spot ETF has seen net outflows for several consecutive days, with institutional buying continuously absent, leaving it without support amid macro headwinds. $BTC inflation data exceeded expectations. Despite such a major negative, BTC only dropped by a thousand dollars before bouncing back, unusually sluggish. The reason lies in the options market: prices are being anchored by the expiration dates.
The Bitcoin options expiring today have a maximum pain price at 83,500. The next two expiration batches fall at 83,500 and 83,000 respectively—three consecutive expiration dates with the pain points almost aligned on the same line. The current price is right on this line.
The position structure matches as well: 240,000 call open interests, 146,000 put open interests, a ratio of 0.61, with 80% concentrated in the same options exchange. Market makers who sold these call contracts have an incentive to keep the price near this line before expiration to minimize losses on in-the-money parts—the more the price surges, the more call contracts they have to pay out. This explains why despite major data hitting the market, the price barely moves.
But this effect is time-limited. With three consecutive expiration dates, the constraint lasts at most until the 17th; once expiration passes and hedging positions withdraw, the price has to find its own direction. The longer it stays pinned, the sharper the move once it breaks free.
The upper range of 84,000 to 85,000 remains the level repeatedly pushed back in recent weeks, while 81,000 still acts as support. TSMC's Q3 revenue hit a record high but profitability has not been disclosed; risk appetite swings directly suppress high-volatility assets like WLD, and I lean bearish and defensive. Both the four-hour and one-hour charts are in a downtrend channel, with 0.4893 having fallen 18.89% from the four-hour high, showing weak rebound momentum. It dropped 3.5% in 24h, hitting a low of 0.485, with a volume of 255 million, funding rate still positive at 0.0075%, and open interest at 66.031 million; crowded longs are prone to liquidation. The order book shows buy orders at 575,000 versus sell orders at 409,000, a ratio of 1.41, indicating short-term support but unlikely to reverse the downtrend; 0.485 is the last line of defense. Strategy-wise, lightly short at 0.5035 on rebound, stop loss at 0.5185, target 0.4725; if volume breaks below 0.485, chase shorts to 0.4665, stop loss at 0.4965. Single position should not exceed 5%, stop loss must be strictly executed, avoid holding losing positions.

What counts as recovery: the basis given by papers and the criteria of this article Sarr and Lybek, in the IMF working paper "Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets" (2002), divide market liquidity into trading costs, immediacy, depth, breadth, and resilience, emphasizing that no single indicator can cover all dimensions.

该修正案目前在法国国民议会财委会通过，属于2027年预算法案的一环，还不是正式落地法律，后续还要走完全院投票、两院协商流程，存在修改甚至被驳回的可能性。提案内容简单说：法国税务居民，年末自托管钱包资产总价值≥10万欧元，需要每年主动向税务部门申报，未申报最高可罚1万欧元。
现行MiCA、DAC8规则，主要针对交易所、托管平台，平台端的转账、持仓会自动上报；而自托管钱包一直是监管盲区，也是这次补申报的核心目的，打击利用自托管理
短期情绪上属于偏利空，代表欧盟区域监管开始把手伸向自持私钥的钱包，打破市场“自托管等于匿名隐蔽”的固有预期，容易带动隐私币、链上自托管相关标的情绪承压。但设置了10万欧元的高门槛，覆盖的是大额持有者，普通小额散户不受影响，短期对BTC、ETH现货盘面实质资金冲击有限，更多是预期层面扰动。
中长期是重要信号：如果法国落地，会给其他欧盟成员国提供范本，后续可能掀起跟风，代表加密监管从交易所，逐步延伸到链上端、自托管赛道。后续重点跟踪：议会最终投票结果、是否下调申报门槛，以及欧盟其他国家是否跟进类似法案。$BTC $ETH $ZEC After the data was released, market bets on a Fed rate hike in December surged to about 95%, with the probability of a rate hike in October nearly doubling from about 22% to 43%. The dollar index rose, the 10-year US Treasury yield climbed to around 5.2%, and gold fell about 1.5%.
The CPI data triggered an immediate sharp drop; I was busy at work in the evening and couldn't escape the impact, but fortunately, physical income was 200u.
Significant pressure from news: Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $542 million last week, with institutional funds continuously withdrawing, creating significant selling pressure. On-chain signals are also bearish: a certain whale/institution sold 52,000 ETH in batches at an average price of $2632, with the last 10,000 ETH fully liquidated; exchange ETH reserves rose from about 14.59 million at the end of September to 14.93 million on October 14, with more chips stored on platforms that allow quick selling.
The power of this CPI "nuclear bomb" lies in that it not only destroyed hopes for a short-term rebound but also reshaped macro expectations:
Macro alarms are fully triggered: after CPI exceeded expectations, the probability of a rate hike in December has soared to 95%, with both the dollar and US Treasury yields strengthening, putting risk assets under systemic pressure. The market narrative will shift from "when will rates be cut" to "whether rates will be hiked," which is extremely unfavorable for highly leveraged longs. Don't fantasize about a V-shaped reversal anymore.

#US September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, core inflation exceeded expectations Why am I still watching SanDisk with cautious optimism? From its September peak near $1,905 to the current consolidation around $1,450, $SNDK has experienced a significant pullback. In my view, this could be a period of consolidation as investors reassess inflation, interest-rate expectations, and the long-term demand for storage. 💾 The long-term story remains important. Growing data-center and AI workloads could support memory and storage demand, although competition, pricing, and earnings expAlthough all three are linked to crypto exchanges, their value propositions and revenue models are quite different. 1️⃣ $HYPE — The Trading Revenue Play HYPE's investment thesis is closely tied to Hyperliquid's trading activity, protocol revenue, and token buyback mechanisms. Higher trading volume can strengthen the narrative, but it doesn't guarantee price appreciation. Recently, leveraged positioning and crowded trades have added another layer of volatility. If short exposure becomes excessiveAfter I bought $ENA on a dip yesterday, I still underestimated the impact of the CPI on it.
After the data was released, market expectations for a Fed rate hike before the end of the year significantly increased, with the probability of a rate hike in October rising from about 22% to about 40%.
Impact on ENA
Deterioration of funding rate environment: USDe's yield depends on positive funding rates in the crypto market. Rising rate hike expectations will suppress the market's willingness to leverage bullish positions. If funding rates continue to decline, USDe's yield will decrease accordingly, which in turn will inhibit the growth of its supply.
Expansion into tokenized stocks: Ethena is expanding USDe's yield sources to include tokenized stock perpetual contracts to reduce reliance on crypto funding rates alone. However, this strategy requires sustained bullish sentiment in traditional financial markets, which is also suppressed by rate hike expectations.
Therefore, the CPI exceeding expectations has delayed the trigger time for the fee switch, and ENA's "buyback flywheel" cannot start in the short term.
Follow-up points to watch
FOMC meeting on October 27-28: This is the next key macro event after the CPI. If the Fed signals a more hawkish stance, risk assets will face greater pressure; conversely, if the tone is dovish, ENA may get a breathing room.
Funding rate trends: If funding rates continue to decline or even turn negative after the CPI, USDe's yield will be under pressure, and supply growth may slow further. Overall CPI year-on-year is 3.7%, core CPI year-on-year is 2.6%, both exceeding expectations, mainly driven by rising oil prices. Once the data was released, US Treasury yields surged, rate cut expectations were lowered, and the probability of rate hikes doubled. $BTC $ETH $ZEC High interest rates are unfavorable for high-valuation sectors like technology and energy storage, so it's normal for US tech stocks to collectively face pressure tonight. They earn future profits, and the higher the interest rate, the more easily future valuations are suppressed. But there's no need to be completely bearish. After the negative news settles, short-term pulse rebounds are likely. These rebounds are more suitable for swing trading T, not for heavy betting on a trend reversal. The market has now entered a phase of oscillation and game theory, with amplified volatility; be especially cautious of night spikes. Manage your positions well, set stop losses properly, and don't get taken out by the first spike. #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Don't bottom fish! 170,000 people were just wiped out, 88.9% were long positions — this is not a pullback, it's a targeted liquidation
On October 13, the crypto market once again witnessed a brutal "targeted liquidation" operation. The total liquidation amount across the network reached $620 million, with 172,000 investors instantly "wiped out," 88.9% of whom were long. Ethereum longs liquidated $169 million, Bitcoin longs liquidated $160 million, and Solana longs had an even higher liquidation rate of 94.2%.
Behind this massacre, the real culprit was not the market makers, but U.S. Treasury bonds. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surged to 5.24%, nearing a 24-year high. When risk-free yields can exceed 5%, why would capital want to play an 80% volatility game with you? Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $680 million in a single week, and Ethereum ETFs were drained of $542 million over 10 consecutive days. The withdrawal of institutional funds directly drained market liquidity.
Against the backdrop of tightening macro liquidity, highly leveraged longs became the most vulnerable prey. Binance alone handled 51.9% of all liquidations on the network, with the largest single liquidation reaching $9.65 million. The corpses of leveraged longs littered the $81,000 price level.
This was not just a simple pullback, but a precise strike against highly leveraged capital. When market sentiment is extremely pessimistic and retail investors are cutting losses and exiting, whales are quietly accumulating. This divergence between "ETF withdrawals" and "whale bottom fishing" reveals the deeper logic of the current market. Why did it drop tonight? Explained in three sentences.
🔴 First, South Korea collapsed, dragging down the entire market. The South Korean KOSPI index plummeted over 5%, led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Panic over the AI valuation bubble directly transmitted across markets. In a pattern where cryptocurrencies and U.S. stocks rise and fall together, no risk asset can stand alone.
🔴 Second, U.S. Treasury yields are pressing down. The 10-year Treasury yield soared to 5.35%, the 30-year to 5.70%, the highest since 2002. With risk-free yields this high, who would want to hold highly volatile assets? Money is systematically withdrawing.
🔴 Third, the bulls trampled themselves. Over $800 million liquidated across the entire network in 24 hours, with long positions accounting for more than 84%—it wasn’t shorts crashing the market, but long leverage blowing up itself. After BTC broke key support, liquidation cascades triggered; altcoins with thin liquidity fell even harder.
📌 Summary in one sentence: Korean stocks are the fuse, U.S. Treasuries the base color, leverage the accelerator. Tonight’s drop isn’t due to a single negative factor but the simultaneous eruption of triple pressure. Tomorrow night’s CPI data is the real directional signal; before that, controlling your hands is more important than anything. $BTC On the eve of the CPI judgment night, whales are frantically buying
On the night before the CPI data release, market sentiment was extremely compressed. Bitcoin repeatedly tugged at the $83,000 mark; beneath the seemingly calm surface, there were actually turbulent undercurrents.
On one side, institutional funds were panic withdrawing. Data shows that last week, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of as much as $679 million, marking the largest single-week outflow since June; the Ethereum ETF suffered a continuous 10-day "bloodletting," with cumulative outflows totaling $542 million. The pessimism in traditional financial channels seems to be pricing in tonight's CPI data.
However, under the shadow of retail panic selling, another force is quietly entering the market. On-chain data shows that a whale address bought 1,162 BTC in one go through Wintermute, worth about $96.77 million. Even more, a whale sold 1,074 BTC within three days and switched positions to 35,346 ETH. This "abandon BTC, enter ETH" operation is not only a bet on the recovery of the Ethereum ecosystem but also a clear market signal: smart money is using the liquidity gap caused by ETF outflows to accumulate at low levels.
This divergence between "ETF withdrawal" and "whale bottom-fishing" reveals the deep logic of the current market. ETF funds are often constrained by macro sentiment and compliance costs, reacting more sensitively and short-term; while whale funds focus more on long-term value and asset fundamentals. When the two move in opposite directions, it often means the market is at a critical node of chip exchange. Big Numbers, But How Much Profit Is Actually Generated? 📊 For $AAVE , I start by examining the actual lending activity. Deposits provide the capital for lending, but they don't automatically generate revenue. Borrowers must use that capital and pay interest, with a portion allocated to the protocol treasury according to each asset's reserve factor. That's why I look beyond total deposits. If deposits double while borrowing demand remains weak, protocol revenue may not grow at the same pace. I f$BTC 美国9月CPI、核心CPI，全都比市场预想的更高通胀没压下去。

As of Tuesday, the company increased its holdings by about 2.35 billion USD to 2,822 bitcoins, bringing the total holdings to 35,595 bitcoins. Judging by the amount and quantity alone, this was just a routine treasury accumulation. But there is a number in the same disclosure that is easier to overlook: the cumulative exercise ratio of traditional warrants has reached 94%.
This time, they exercised about 13.7 million of the remaining 15.3 million warrants, expected to generate a total revenue of 369 million USD. In other words, a large portion of the money for this round of purchases came from warrant exercises, not newly raised funds from the market. Warrant exercise means shareholders pay the company the agreed price, and the company uses that money to buy coins.
The disclosure gives a leverage ratio of 47%. This number indicates the degree to which financing instruments amplify shareholder funds. Warrants, convertible bonds, preferred shares layer on top of each other, and the number of bitcoins per share is amplified when prices rise. When the coin price rises, the bitcoin content per share increases faster than the coin price itself, which is the source of efficiency for treasury companies in a bull market.
But the same structure works in reverse. The higher the leverage ratio, the deeper the net asset value per share falls when the coin price declines. A 47% leverage ratio looks good during an uptrend, but it tells a different story when prices fall. Leverage does not pick directions.
With 94% of the warrants already exercised, the available financing tools are nearly exhausted. Going forward, the company will either rely on the stock price continuing to rise to refinance or the buying pace will stop. On-chain data can show how much it has bought, but not how much money it has left.When even the security guard downstairs starts asking if you can short ZEC
The security guard downstairs stopped me today and casually asked while handing me a cigarette, “$ZEC has dropped this much, can you still short it?”
I smiled and pointed to his electric bike blocking the passage: “Move your bike first, you’re blocking others from coming in and out.”
I gave a perfunctory reply, but my heart skipped a beat.
What does this mean? It means this trading logic has completely gone mainstream. When even a security guard who doesn’t usually watch the market can sense ZEC’s downtrend and instinctively wants to short it, it means retail investor sentiment in the market has become highly unanimous.
In the trading world, unanimity is often dangerous. When shorts become crowded, it means potential buying pressure (short covering) is accumulating. I’m not predicting ZEC will surge immediately, but chasing shorts when everyone wants to short is a very poor risk-reward scenario. At this time, rather than staring at candlesticks, maybe you should pay more attention to the emotions of the people around you—because the market always quietly turns at the peak of noisy chatter. #US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations Qivalis has obtained an electronic money institution license issued by the Dutch central bank, backed by 37 major European banks, including BBVA, BNP Paribas, ING, and DZ Bank. The next step is to issue euro-denominated electronic money tokens (EMT) within a few months after fulfilling MiCA requirements and publishing a white paper.
This EMT will not be sold directly to individual users but will be issued through banks, crypto exchanges, and payment service providers. Ordinary people probably won't see the name Qivalis directly in their wallets; it is more likely to appear in the backend settlement processes of banking apps.
Notably, the 37 banks share a single issuer structure. In the past, banks approached stablecoins individually, but this time they are collaborating to share the burden. This choice is often driven not by whether a single bank can profit, but by the concern that if others adopt it and one does not, that bank might be left behind.
Fireblocks has been selected to provide the digital asset infrastructure. This means that the entire chain from custody, transfer to compliant settlement is already handled by someone, so banks do not need to build a full crypto infrastructure themselves, enabling much faster deployment.
The key point to observe here is not the addition of a new euro stablecoin, but that the banking system is starting to integrate EMT into its own payment channels. Once the entry point is incorporated into existing systems, end users basically have no choice about whether to interact with it; it becomes a matter of whether they see it or not.$SNDK
The previous post mentioned Sandisk 1399.5, which is very critical here. If it doesn't break below, it's fine; if it breaks below, it will form strong resistance here. It will be much harder to break through afterward.
Moreover, along the way, it actually rallies very quickly but pulls back slowly, not giving retail investors time to think. By the time you react, it has already rallied 80%, then it pulls back while rallying again, making you feel miserable. It's neither good to chase nor to watch, as if you've missed out on 10 billion.
Currently, on the 4-hour chart, resistance is at 1494.9 above. Support is at 1399.5 below, about a 7% range, which is still quite good BTC had been consolidating for several days, with the market waiting for data to break the deadlock. Now that the data is out, the core CPI exceeding expectations means renewed pressure for interest rate hikes. The key support for BTC is at 82,000. If this level is breached, the next target is likely around 79,500. On the upside, 83,500 is the short-term watershed; only by holding above this level is there a chance to challenge 85,000.
However, there is no need to panic excessively. From the perspective of holding structure, BTC long-term holders' chips remain solid. After the previous pullback from around 87,000, the selling pressure mainly came from short-term floating chips. Although ETF funds have fluctuated recently, there has been no large-scale withdrawal overall. The interest rate hike pressure brought by the hotter-than-expected CPI mainly suppresses upward space rather than triggering a crash-like decline.
The Federal Reserve meeting on October 28 is the next decisive point. The current probability of a rate hike is 43.7%, indicating the market has not fully priced in a rate increase yet. OKB’s burn schedule is empty. Supply has been flat at 21M since August 2025 There’s no $OKB burn schedule left to track. Supply has sat at 21M since OKX’s one-time burn of 65,256,712 OKB on August 15, 2025, followed by a contract upgrade meant to remove minting and burning from the token entirely. Before that, the model was buyback-and-burn: 28 rounds since 2019, 213.7M coins destroyed. The arithmetic is worth doing. Start at 300M. Subtract 213.7M from the buybacks and 65.26M from the final burnAll three CPI data points in September exceeded expectations: broad year-on-year, core year-on-year, and core month-on-month. During a phase of insufficient market confidence, what is most needed are data that meet or fall below expectations to boost sentiment; all three surpassing expectations is a direct blow.
Breaking it down, energy is the absolute dominant factor in this surge. Gasoline contributed to more than half of the broad CPI month-on-month increase, against the backdrop of Middle East conflicts pushing up oil prices, with retail gasoline prices near highs at the end of September. Food remained generally stable, and core goods year-on-year growth stayed below 1%.
Housing inflation continues to rise moderately, with owner-equivalent rent up 0.3% month-on-month, primary residence rent up 0.2%, and lodging away from home up 2.0%. The housing component, which carries the greatest weight, is the main support for core inflation; it has not accelerated noticeably but also has not declined rapidly. Core services rose 0.4% month-on-month and 3.1% year-on-year; airline ticket prices increased 1.2% month-on-month and about 22.4% year-on-year, indirectly driven by fuel costs.
Although inflation is high, the causes differ, and policy responses vary accordingly. Energy is an external shock, with oil prices determined by Middle East situations, not by the Federal Reserve, and may decline. Housing changes slowly and reacts late, with stronger endogenous stickiness. The former can be waited out; the latter cannot.
Oil prices remain high, and there are recent reports of a container ship sinking in the Strait of Hormuz and two Singapore-registered oil tankers attacked, keeping short-term sentiment under pressure. The next observation point may be the end-of-month earnings reports from several cloud providers, to see if the market can shift focus from fearing inflation to looking at profitability.$ZEC Bullish and Bearish Factors — Governance Upgrade Expectations Remain, but Short-Term Funds Are Exiting!
Bullish side: NU7 upgrade vote passed with 99.9%, block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, developers plan to activate the mainnet upgrade on November 5. Grayscale's ZEC spot ETF attracted over $1 billion in inflows in its first month, and the Winklevoss brothers have also applied for a new ZEC ETF (ticker WINK, fee rate 0.25%).
Bearish side: ETF outflows exceeded 124 million for two consecutive weeks + a whale deposited 15 million to Coinbase + suspected Bitkub co-founder sold 24,100 ZEC — short-term funds are systematically withdrawing. $ZEC Contract Data and the Manipulators' Conspiracy — Shorts Liquidations Account for 68%, but Longs Liquidations Are Also Accelerating!
First, $30.16 million liquidated across the network in 24 hours, with $20.51 million from shorts, accounting for 68%; longs liquidated $9.64 million. Shorts are being wiped out, but longs liquidations are also speeding up.
Second, the funding rate is +0.01%, nearly zero. Longs aren’t celebrating, shorts aren’t panicking; both sides are holding steady. Open interest remains at 25.72 million contracts, showing leverage hasn’t been cleaned out, just no one dares to lead the charge.
Third, Binance account long-short ratio is 0.4793, OKX account long-short ratio is 0.41, retail traders are desperately shorting! Meanwhile, Binance top traders’ long-short ratio is 1.023, big players are adding longs. When retail and big players’ directions diverge sharply, it often signals manipulators are harvesting retail traders.
Fourth, the manipulators’ conspiracy: 1,285 is the "death gate" drawn by the manipulators! From the high of 1,698 on September 26 to the low of 1,112.77 on October 8, a 34.5% retracement, then a rebound to around 1,285 was immediately pushed back. 1,285 is the rebound ceiling; failing twice to break through means the rebound is basically over. Manipulators have filled the 1,240-1,285 range with short orders, waiting for retail traders chasing highs to rush in. $ZEC Funding Situation — ETF Outflows for Two Consecutive Weeks Totaling $124 Million, Whales Are Exiting!
First, ZEC spot ETFs have seen outflows for two consecutive weeks, with a net redemption total of $124 million. On October 14 alone, there was a net outflow of $5.1906 million, and the net asset value of ZEC spot ETFs dropped to $677 million. If bearish pressure intensifies, the $1,100 and $1,000 support levels may be retested or broken.
Second, whales have deposited to Coinbase for the first time in 10 months! Whale address t1Lyq transferred approximately $362.56 million worth of ZEC, of which $15 million was deposited into Coinbase. This is the first time in 10 months that this address has deposited to an exchange. Whales moving funds to exchanges is the clearest sign of impending sell-off!
Third, a wallet suspected to be linked to Bitkub co-founder sold 24,100 ZEC, worth about $18.5 million, and bought 238 BTC. Whales are rotating from ZEC to BTC — this is not good news for ZEC. $ZEC Macro and News Outlook — CPI Exceeds Expectations, Rate Hike Probability Soars to 95%!
First, the September CPI exceeding expectations is the biggest shock! The year-on-year 3.7% is higher than the expected 3.6%, and the core CPI 2.6% is above the expected 2.5%. After the data release, the probability of a rate hike in October doubled from about 22% to 43%, and the probability for December surged to about 95%. Bitcoin promptly fell below 83,000, with ZEC following the decline.
Second, the 10-year US Treasury yield is at 5.36%, the highest since 2002. The elevated long-term interest rates directly increase the holding costs for leveraged funds. Even if the Federal Reserve holds steady in October, risk assets will struggle to escape the heavy pressure of valuation contraction.
Third, the South Korean stock market plunged 6%, triggering cross-market deleveraging. The KOSPI index dropped over 6%, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix fell about 8% respectively, with market concerns over AI-related valuations acting as the catalyst. Tom Lee publicly warned that if broker margin liquidations and investor deleveraging occur simultaneously, major crypto assets like ETH and ZEC may face greater short-term selling pressure and volatility. September CPI year-on-year rose 3.7%, exceeding expectations. The expectation of a rate cut was eliminated, and the market directly switched to pricing in a longer duration of high interest rates. Tech stocks with high valuations are the first to come under pressure, and the strengthening dollar is pulling global funds into the US.
The Federal Reserve is facing a dilemma this time: continuing to raise rates risks problems first in the fragile sectors of commercial real estate and small to medium banks; not raising rates means the inertia of spiraling wages and prices cannot be broken. Both options are painful.
Everyone is complaining about oil prices, but the truly sticky factors are services and housing rents. These two items are insensitive to interest rates, and once prices rise, they are hard to reverse. Oil prices can fall back, but rents will not.
What’s more troublesome is the de-anchoring of inflation expectations. A one-time price jump is volatility, but when businesses and households start treating price increases as the norm, inflation shifts from a short-term issue to a structural expectation. At this stage, rate hikes can suppress demand but cannot suppress habits.
Therefore, the Federal Reserve is very likely not choosing whether to raise rates or not, but rather dragging between two bad options. Maintaining high interest rates longer, using rhetoric and occasional actions to suppress expectations. The market will face not a one-way direction, but valuation pain and wide fluctuations.💥 姐妹们，$ETH 的底裤，真快被扒光了。

#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 🔥 CPI directly smashed expectations! Tonight, the bears got to enjoy a win first.
US September CPI year-over-year at 3.7%, higher than the expected 3.6%; core CPI year-over-year at 2.6%, month-over-month at 0.3%, all exceeding expectations. The market was originally betting on core cooling down, but instead, core did not drop, reigniting rate hike expectations — the probability of a rate hike in October jumped from about 20% directly to around 40%-50%.
Energy is the main cause, with gasoline and diesel both rising, but this time it's not just "energy causing trouble"; the core month-over-month stayed at 0.3% without dropping, indicating price increases are spreading to other sectors.
Once the data dropped, gold plunged, US Treasury yields rose, the dollar rebounded, and US stock futures turned negative. For the crypto space, the real pressure is not the CPI numbers themselves, but whether US Treasury yields and the dollar continue to rise.
Looking at $ETH now, it's not surprising to see volatility before the data; if yields continue to surge after the data, short-term rebounds are easily suppressed; if yields fall back, ETH has a chance to retest upper resistance.
Don't hold high-leverage positions stubbornly tonight; the post-data spike is the harshest. Which level are you defending for ETH tonight? Let's talk in the comments? Let's talk in the comments👇
⚠️Personal observation, not investment advice.
#US September CPI YoY rises to 3.7%, core inflation exceeds expectations $ETH CPI is the key to breaking the deadlock
Short term (48 hours): Most likely to fluctuate between 2,400-2,537. 2,506 is the short-term watershed—if volume breaks through, the target is 2,537-2,600; if it falls below 2,416, the target is 2,400-2,344. After CPI exceeds expectations, the market needs time to digest the rate hike pricing.
Medium term: If ETH holds the 2,400-2,420 support, with ETF funds flowing back and whales continuously accumulating, it is expected to challenge 2,537-2,600. But last week ETF outflows of 542 million + CPI exceeding expectations + whales being defensive— a pullback could happen at any time.
The biggest risk: CPI exceeding expectations pushes the rate hike probability to 43% + ETF outflows of 542 million last week + dense long liquidations below 2,400. Some analysis explains it well: "If broker margin liquidations and investor deleveraging occur simultaneously, major crypto assets like ETH may face greater selling pressure and volatility in the short term." At the 2,439 level, chasing highs is like sending New Year's gifts to the bears. Control your hands, wait for the direction to become clear before acting.

#BTC spot ETF sees net outflow again, can institutional buying recover?
$ETH I'll first calculate the supply changes.
Base fees will be burned, validator rewards involve new issuance, and the specific issuance amount will also vary with the staking scale.
So after "someone uses the network," we still need to ask: how much is actually burned, and how much is newly issued?
If the number of transactions increases, but the fee per transaction decreases, the total burn amount may not increase correspondingly.
I prefer to track issuance and burning over the same period, then judge whether the supply has tightened. Picking only days with high burn numbers easily overlooks changes at other times and can mistake a phase phenomenon for a long-term trend.
For $BTC, I separate on-chain transfer volume and buying demand.
Fees mainly depend on the space occupied by the transaction, not the transfer amount, and fees are paid to miners.
Therefore, a large transfer does not directly prove someone is buying, nor can the direction of funds be judged solely by the amount.
When studying demand, I want to confirm whether there is new buying and continued holding, rather than interpreting every large movement as a price signal.
For $SOL, when creating a token account, a certain amount of funds must be reserved as storage balance, which can be reclaimed after closing accounts that meet the conditions.
This kind of fund occupation has its own purpose and an exit path.
So an increase in account numbers cannot be directly equated with a permanent reduction in circulating supply.
I look at account additions, closures, and net occupation simultaneously. More users coming in is worth noting, but how much actual usage demand remains requires further data explanation.
