$BTC is falling along with the overall market, with the total market cap at 2.82 trillion USD, down 2.47% in 24 hours. Only a few small market cap sectors are showing gains. Looking at Tokenized Pre-IPO Stocks, two Launchpad sectors, and InfoFi together, they all relate to the same thing: issuing new assets and new listings. The market cap is small, so even a little money can push the price up by double digits. Where is the money coming from? USDT market cap is down 0.03% in 24 hours, with no new issuance and no new funds coming in from outside. BTC dominance is at 59.3%, still high, and funds have not significantly moved into altcoins. This is existing capital moving around in small pools. Sentiment is cooling down as well, with the fear and greed index dropping from 71 a week ago to 62. I judge that this round of new listings rotation won't last long. The end signal to watch for is twofold: the 24-hour gains of the two Launchpad sectors both turn negative, and USDT market cap still shows no positive growth. When both happen together, this wave is over.STRK unlocks 127 million tokens monthly for 6 consecutive months, with frequent positive news, yet reasons for easy downward adjustment remain analyzed
Core summary: Unlocking 127 million tokens monthly is equivalent to 6 consecutive rounds of targeted issuance, continuously increasing circulating supply; the positive news belongs to long-term narratives, while the unlocking selling pressure is a tangible supply increase at present. The positive outlook is future expectation, while selling pressure is the realized monthly sell-off, making it difficult for expectations to immediately offset the ongoing dilution pressure.
1. Supply side: 6 consecutive "new share issuances" continuously dilute existing holders' equity
1. For six consecutive months, 127 million STRK tokens are released on the 15th of each month, totaling 762 million newly circulating tokens, accounting for about 10.3% of the current circulating supply, equivalent to six rounds of small-scale new share listings.
Traditional stock markets see one-time private placements depress valuations, but STRK’s monthly phased releases represent a long-term continuous supply shock, not a one-time event.
2. Chip structure differentiation: The unlocked portion includes a large amount of low-cost tokens held by early contributors with very low holding costs; once the price rebounds, there is a willingness to sell and realize profits; although private investors have costs, some institutions also choose to gradually reduce holdings and take profits after market rebounds.
3. The essence of token unlocking: Lock-up is only a temporary freeze; after unlocking, the number of freely tradable tokens in the market increases. When new buying demand cannot keep up with the increase in supply, the value per token is diluted. Even with strong fundamentals and technical narratives, supply-demand imbalance suppresses price.
2. Positive news belongs to long-term narratives, difficult to convert into immediate buying pressure in the short term
1. Market-promoted positives: independent L1 upgrade, native quantum resistance, QSB quantum-secure BTC, BTCFi ecosystem, privacy pools—all are future expectations, mostly without large-scale commercial revenue or user base realization yet.
Positive stories attract long-term funds, but long-term investors rarely enter with large sums at once; they mostly accumulate slowly on dips, making it hard to absorb the potential monthly selling pressure of over 100 million tokens at once.
2. Time lag in positive realization: L1 transformation and quantum resistance technology implementation are scheduled for 2027, coinciding with this unlocking cycle. Before these achievements materialize, positives remain mostly expectations, making it hard to continuously generate massive new capital.
3. Positives are easily front-run: Each positive news release triggers short-term buying, and low-cost unlocked tokens take advantage of the rally window to sell, creating a "positive news equals sell window" effect, causing prices to fall after the positive is realized.
3. Market trading psychology: Clear unlocking schedule overhead, bulls dare not continuously push prices up
1. The entire market clearly knows large unlocks occur on the 15th of each month, an openly verifiable schedule. Major funds and whales won’t actively push prices up continuously; if they do, low-cost holders will concentrate selling, trapping the pushers.
2. Formation of a "rebound ceiling effect": Each positive-driven rebound rises to a certain range, then the market anticipates unlocking selling pressure and reduces positions early. Selling pressure appears with slight gains, making sustained major rallies difficult; oscillating downward trends become normal.
3. Expectations priced in advance: The market often declines before the unlock date to digest the negative impact, not necessarily waiting for the unlock day to drop sharply. Even if a short rebound occurs on the unlock day, the expectation of next month’s unlock will suppress the market again.
4. Overall market environment amplifies supply pressure, positives alone can’t support
1. If the crypto market is generally weak and funds are risk-averse, overall incremental capital is insufficient. Even if STRK has continuous positives, without new capital to absorb selling pressure, the negative impact of increased supply is magnified.
2. Sector rotation: Crypto funds rotate quickly; the hype around quantum resistance and L2 upgrades fluctuates with market sentiment. Once the hype fades, relying solely on fundamental narratives makes it difficult to continuously attract funds to absorb monthly unlocked tokens.Pyth currently relies mainly on two approaches. One is to have exchanges and market makers directly report quotes, which is fast and mostly used in perpetual contract scenarios; the other is selling market data to traditional institutions, which is currently the main source of income.
According to official statements, 94% of RWA perpetual contracts in Q3 use Pyth prices. This figure, when placed on-chain, indeed indicates that it has become the default choice in this niche scenario.
However, being used the most and earning the most are not the same thing. The previously reported $11 million revenue mostly comes from selling to traditional institutions, not from on-chain users paying for these quotes.
The "use" on-chain and the "payment" off-chain are accounted separately. Even if an oracle occupies the majority of on-chain usage scenarios, its success still depends on whether it can sell the same data to off-chain buyers.
When looking at this type of infrastructure, the key is not to remember who has the larger share, but to distinguish: occupying the default position is reputation, but whether you can convert that position into money is what really matters.Stagflation = economic stagnation + inflation occurring simultaneously. Weak employment (29,000 non-farm jobs) indicates the economy is slowing down, and high oil prices (101) show that prices are not coming down. The Fed's nightmare: raising rates to curb inflation will worsen unemployment, while cutting rates to save the economy will add fuel to the fire. Historically, risk assets have performed terribly during stagflation periods; can BTC be an exception this time? Holding ETH for 7 years, he sold 18,000 coins and still holds 41,500 coins.
The founder of POAP, a veteran player who has been on-chain with real-name verification for nearly a decade.
In 9 days, he transferred 18,000 ETH to Gemini, worth $45.86 million.
The latest transaction was today: 10,000 coins, $25.05 million. He sold decisively but did not liquidate all holdings. Currently, there are still 41,500 ETH on-chain, valued at $104 million.
This is not a panic sell; someone is "reducing weight."
Worthalter has deeper experience in the crypto space than most. POAP started in 2018 as an NFT attendance proof protocol. He witnessed the 2021 frenzy and the 2022 crash. Such a person wouldn’t panic over a few bearish candles. Choosing to sell in batches indicates he is managing his position—keeping a base holding and recovering some cash.
But even he is selling, which is worth pondering. What is the market status now? Long liquidations total $193 million, short liquidations $153 million, 89,000 people liquidated, with the largest single liquidation at $4.88 million. Both longs and shorts are bleeding, and whales are reducing positions.
Veteran players don’t predict the top; they only take profits at the right time.

$ETH $BTC $SNDK $MU The U.S. stock market's Q3 earnings season officially kicks off this week.
The first to report are the four major banks, revealing an interesting phenomenon.
Many banks' profit data exceeded expectations,
but their stock prices fell instead.
The market threshold is now very high; simply having good profits is no longer enough to drive prices up.
Investors pay more attention to income structure and the sustainability of future growth.
Next up is the main event: AI technology and the storage sector.
This round of U.S. stock market rally heavily depends on a few tech giants.
Storage companies like Micron and SanDisk, even with strong earnings reports,
can easily face profit-taking if next quarter's guidance falls short of expectations.
Core contradiction:
The market has already priced in the expected rise from AI.
Even if earnings meet targets, it's hard to trigger a big rally;
if guidance is weak, valuations can be quickly cut.
Impact on sectors:
✅ Banking sector: Trading business is recovering, but net interest income is under pressure, mainly fluctuating.
✅ Storage/Semiconductors: Driven by AI computing demand and chip prices, even earnings beats can lead to a spike followed by a drop.
✅ AI giants (NVIDIA, Microsoft): The market closely watches AI capital expenditure returns; if below expectations, a quick pullback is likely.
✅ Consumer stocks: Watch consumer resilience; stocks with stable earnings have stronger defensive qualities.
In summary:
This earnings season is a "big test under high expectations."
Good results don't necessarily lead to gains; even slight misses can trigger sell-offs. #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike disagreements remain unresolved Today, quite a few people in the circle are feeling uneasy, and there's only one reason: BlackRock moved over 860 coins and more than 50,000 Ethereum into Coinbase's institutional custody account in one go. The first reaction from everyone: Are they about to run?
BlackRock is not a small player; the money raised by its ETF to buy coins usually just sits with custodians like Coinbase. But once a large batch is moved to an exchange, the tone changes, and the market inevitably imagines: Is it going to dump? Rebalance? Or just relocate?
Coincidentally, BTC just took a hit around 81,000, then was pulled back to around 83,000, shaking people back and forth. CPI is also stuck at this timing, making sentiment even more sensitive. This batch is worth over 200 million USD, definitely not small.
But similar scenarios have played out before; moving to an exchange doesn't mean immediate selling. What really matters is whether there is continuous selling on-chain afterward and if there are large sell orders on the order book. As for a bear trap, it's not impossible—scare the timid off first, then pull back up. Don't rush to conclusions; keep a close eye on the flow of real money.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解
#台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓
#韩股急跌后反弹收窄，半导体买盘能否持续？ $BTC short squeeze rally, shorts liquidated $43.59 million in 24 hours, accounting for 85.5% of BTC total liquidations, but don't rush to go long 📉.
Above around 87,510, there's $1.721 billion short liquidation pressure; if it really rallies there, it will be another wave of short squeeze; the question is, does the buying power have the strength to push up now?
The correlation between BTC and tech stocks is visibly rising; South Korean chip stocks already dropped a wave a few days ago, AI bubble concerns are not just talk.
Core logic: 81,000 is the lifeline. Holding it means continued grinding sideways; breaking it means shorts accelerate. Set stop loss above 84,500; if it stabilizes above the 20-day EMA resistance zone, I'll admit I'm wrong and exit.
Below, first watch 81,000; if broken, look at 80,000–79,840; further down is the dense long liquidation zone at 79,589; once triggered, it will cause a chain reaction.

⚠️ Personal observation, not investment advice.
#September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved 今晚这份 CPI，我觉得别只盯着“3.6%”这个大数。 市场现在的预期是：9月CPI环比 +0.6%、同比 +3.6%；核心CPI环比 +0.2%、同比 +2.5%。今晚 20:30 公布。美国劳工统计局确认发布时间为美东 8:30。 这次 headline 大概率不会好看，主要是油价在搞事。9月汽油价格大涨，单这一项就可能给 CPI 环比贡献接近 0.3个百分点。所以如果今晚看到 +0.6%，先别急着喊“通胀爆了”。 我更看核心CPI。 上个月核心环比是 +0.3%，今晚市场押 +0.2%。如果真能压到 0.2%甚至更低，说明能源涨价暂时还没大面积传到其他商品和服务，美债收益率、美元都有继续往下压的理由，BTC短线也能喘口气。8月核心CPI同比是2.4%，环比0.3%。 但如果核心直接给到 0.3%甚至更高，那性质就变了。 这就不是“油价把 headline 顶上去”这么简单，而是通胀粘性还在。前面市场刚开始交易“10月先不加息”，这种数据一出来，美债收益率和美元很容易重新抬头，风险资产就要挨打。 所以今晚我会这么看： 核心 ≤0.2%：偏利多风险资产。 核心 =0.3%：偏鹰，BTThe TRUMP team allocation address (Team Allocation) transferred tokens worth $11.78 million to a new address after 12 days, possibly to deposit into an exchange 👀
12 days ago, it transferred $8.87 million of $TRUMP to the address 52RDq…rkaD1. These tokens were later deposited into #OKX through 2 addresses, using a similar method.

Brother Maji added margin again to his ETH long position, pushing the liquidation price down to $2395. He's really determined to be an immortal bull.
It was $2481 before, now $2395. He lost $11.27 million in seven days, and every time there's a crash, you can see Maji getting hit 😂
At 10:05, he still had a profit of $5.46 million, but now the whole account only has $562,000 left. However, this kind of volatility is routine for him...
He added nearly $100 of buffer.
But ETH's current price is hovering around $2500.
25x leverage, 13.65K ETH.
He's only about $100 away from liquidation. With BTC and ETH both down more than 5% in a day, Maji's long position net value dropped from $12 million yesterday to $2 million now, losing over $10 million in a day.
His HYPE, PUMP, and BTC long positions were all stopped out two hours ago, now only the ETH long remains. And this ETH long isn't safe either, liquidation price at $2471, just $40 away from the current price.
Adding margin is basically pouring water into a leaking bucket.
He's not waiting for a rebound.
He's waiting for a "no liquidation" miracle.
The more he adds, the more it shows he doesn't want to admit defeat.
The more he adds, the more it shows—he's actually not far from liquidation.
Young people, don't learn from the whales who "hold positions".
You think he's gambling with his life, but actually he's gambling on how many bullets he still has. $BTC $ETH $TRUTH This morning it plunged directly from 0.0214 to 0.0156, a single 4H candle down -27%, with a long upper shadow. But I judge this is not a sell-off, it's a shakeout.
Looking at the structure: from 10-12 to 10-13 it consolidated sideways between 0.014–0.016 for two days. On the evening of 10-13, a starting K-line with 1.52 million coins opened the move, followed by three consecutive candles up to 0.0202, with volume gradually increasing. The morning's spike candle hit a low of 0.0156, almost exactly retesting the starting point at 0.0155 — a textbook false breakout pullback.
The key is the next candle: 17.6 million coins, the largest volume in the entire segment, closing back up to a new high of 0.0233. If it were a sell-off, the recovery candle shouldn't have a larger volume than the spike candle.
One more data point: funding rate +0.005%, leverage sentiment is not overheated, not a position where longs are being squeezed out.
Of course, this recovery candle hasn't closed yet; 0.0156 is the lifeline of this structure — if it breaks below, then it must be acknowledged as a sell-off. Do you think this bottom can hold? $TRUTHAfter watching this year's Singapore TOKEN 2049 conference, it feels very different from previous years: before, it was basically all about promoting projects, telling narratives, and raising funds; but this year, many traditional finance bigwigs appeared who wouldn't have been thought of before.
I chatted with a few friends and even think that web3 is at a very important turning point.
To summarize with the opening words of Xu Mingxing at OKX NOW: the crypto industry and traditional finance are merging into one system.
Why did the Nasdaq CEO take the stage to share? Why are trillion-dollar asset management giants like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs appearing together? This has never happened before. It shows these big players have seen the trend of crypto merging with traditional finance.
So I think OKX's view is correct: the end goal of Crypto is not tokens at all, but building the next generation of financial infrastructure.
This year, its strategy is clearly to slowly catch up with $BNB: aggressively pushing X Layer, partnering with ICE to tokenize US stocks, etc., all trying to break into the financial infrastructure track.
I bought some $OKB tokens, precisely because I am looking forward to this story. #CheckInWithOKX2049 We all know that to grow a small capital into a large one, you must use the "heavy position + leverage" strategy. However, if this approach is applied to the wrong asset or in the wrong direction, it will inevitably result in total loss. Therefore, my view is: Avoid individual stocks, as they have high volatility and many black swan events, and heavy positions can easily be wiped out by a single crash. Only trade major U.S. stock market indices, such as the Nasdaq 100 index (corresponding ETF is $QQQ). Behind it is a basket of leading tech companies with a survival-of-the-fittest mechanism, which ensures the index will rise in the long term. The index itself will not fall to zero, which is very important. Using "heavy position + leverage" to go long on an asset that is bound to rise in the long term is probabilistically advantageous. How to do it specifically? Here's a suggested approach for reference: 1. In an uptrend (please note this premise), every time the Nasdaq 100 index pulls back more than -3% from the previous high, buy $QQQ call options before market close; 2. Choose contracts with expiration dates >90 days and about 5% out-of-the-money; 3. Take profit when the option value increases by 100%, and stop loss at -30%. In short, using a 3:1 risk-reward ratio, applying "heavy position + leverage" on an asset that is bound to rise in the long term, and sticking to this strategy over time will rapidly grow your capital. Once your capital grows to a certain level (for example, every $100,000 increase), allocate 80% of your account funds to buy $VOO (S&P 500 ETF), and continue rolling the remaining 20% as described above. Repeat this process; this is the easiest way for small capital to grow quickly. Of course, this strategy is not without2007年底各投100元分别买入上证指数、标普500持有到2026年10月，标普500的100元变532元，A股的只剩72元亏近三成，可同期中国经济涨了5倍多，美国仅涨1倍多。
核心原因：头部互联网企业早年多赴境外上市，A股早年上市要求连续盈利错过企业成长期；美股靠高分红+回购回馈股东，A股市值增长主要靠新增上市公司，老股东股权被摊薄；早年A股上市资格稀缺，劣质公司难退市、违规成本低，散户占比高易追涨杀跌，波动更大。

Tonight’s most surreal scene: the US stock storage sector collapsed. Changxin Storage’s IPO soared 466% on its first day, scaring global storage stocks — SK Hynix dropped 10%, Micron fell 5%, and SanDisk’s stock opened down nearly 5% again. But OKX’s SNDK contract jumped from 1,403 straight up to 1,465, wildly rallying against the underlying stock, now even more expensive than the stock itself. I entered at 1,437, with an unrealized profit of +5.5U. This surge isn’t due to bulls being strong, but because shorts are too crowded: panic selling during the day pushed the contract cheaper than the stock, then when the US market opened with bad news, shorts rushed to cover, pushing the contract price above the stock price. So my choice: pocket the profits first. The stock is falling, Changxin’s competition is real, and there’s a big earnings test on 10/29 — the money made from this mismatch is just temporarily parked by the market, don’t treat it as a sure thing. Have you ever traded contracts linked to stock-crypto movements? Let’s discuss in the comments. Risk reminder: personal live trading record, not investment advice, leverage risk is extremely high, do not copy trades.Short sellers are being systematically harvested
The most tormenting part of this round is not the ups and downs — it's that just when you are sure the trend is downward, the short positions get liquidated; the more it falls, the more you dare to short, and just as you add to your position, a rebound comes.
The midday data clearly illustrates the problem: 5.6 million liquidated in 1 hour, shorts account for 76%; 20.19 million in 4 hours, shorts 71%; 32.85 million BTC liquidated in 24 hours, shorts 78.7%, ETH 63.5%. Those who can't hold on are indeed the shorts.
This is a typical short squeeze spiral: price rises → shorts forced to close positions → buying back pushes price higher → triggers the next batch of forced liquidations, self-reinforcing. The biggest pitfall is mistaking "sharp drops earlier" for "safe to keep shorting later."
But the rebound has a fragile side: spot ETFs saw a weekly net outflow of 679 million, ETH outflow 542 million; Coinbase premium index dropped to its lowest since July, even briefly turning negative. This wave relies more on passive derivative buybacks rather than active spot buying. Coupled with the South Korean stock market plunging 5.5% and tonight's CPI announcement pending, volatility will only increase.
So focus on one thing — whether the pullback after the rally can be supported. BTC holds 81,300–82,000 (where the 400-day moving average lies), ETH looks at 2,480–2,495; if the low at 2,494 holds, the structure continues. If someone steps in, it's buying pressure; if no one does, it's just a false rally.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution I don't know why, but I just feel that $ETH has already peaked this wave.
Brothers, I don't know why, but I've been consistently shorting ETH, maybe it's just a feeling. I feel like this wave has already reached its peak.
Look at the screenshot, I entered a short at 2,510.86, current price is 2,504.83, floating profit 0.71%, the direction is steady. On the order book, there's a large sell order of 399.66 at 2,504.86 above, and another 2.00 at 2,504.87, selling pressure layer upon layer. Below, the buy orders at 2,504.85 are only 54.41, and further down are sparse small orders, the support is as thin as paper.
ETH tried to break through 2,570 to 2,600 three times but failed, Ethereum ETFs have continuous net outflows, institutions are withdrawing; on-chain validator exits have surged, a large amount of staked ETH is waiting to be unlocked, supply pressure hangs overhead. Technically, the MACD death cross continues, volume shrinks, bulls have no resistance.
It's just a feeling, this wave has risen to the extreme, no one is willing to catch the falling knife, the only outcome is a crash. I continue to hold my high short at 2,510.86, with a stop loss above 2,550, and first target below at 2,450. Don't blindly bottom-fish, the rebound is an opportunity to short.
$BTC $ZEC #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved $PONS This token was initially promoted officially to get attention, and then the token issuance platform @ponsdotfamily became popular. But those who have experienced it know that the platform application is actually mediocre.
Looking at the buyback and burn dashboard, there is only burning with no buyback; buyback is zero.
In other words, the official team currently does not want to incur any costs, only wants to sell tokens to make money, occasionally burning tokens they hold to show the retail investors.
The current market cap is still 300 million, the decline is just beginning... $PONS When I had a floating profit of +55%, I didn't reduce my position, and now I'm down 12U.
Last night, the SanDisk contract surged violently, and I made some "nervous money"—the underlying stock was falling while the contract was rising, a mispriced premium that would eventually converge. I understood the logic completely and even wrote it down to warn others. This morning, the floating profit surged to +55%, and I had clearly set a strict rule for myself: once the floating profit crosses the line, move the stop loss to the cost price; if you can't do that, reduce your position by half. I didn't follow any of these rules. Not only did I not reduce, but I even added to my position when I saw it surge in the morning. In the afternoon, the expected convergence happened: the contract price dropped from 1,493 all the way down to 1,440, wiping out the floating profit and resulting in a 12U loss.
The most painful part is the accounting: if I had set a breakeven stop loss in the morning, at worst I would have exited with a profit today. The reasons I didn't set it sounded very reasonable at the time—such a good trend, just wait a bit longer, a pullback is an opportunity. Looking back now, that wasn't judgment; it was greed disguised as analysis.
The harshest trick in the market: first, it gives you floating profits to make you think you're a genius; then it takes it all back the same way, along with your principal. Floating profit isn't real money; only what you pocket counts. Discipline doesn't limit how much you can earn; it ensures you can afford your losses.
Have you ever had moments where you "know you should reduce, but your hands just won't move"? How did you deal with it? Teach me in the comments.
Risk reminder: This is a personal live trading review and does not constitute investment advice. Leverage risk is extremely high; profits and losses are your own responsibility.CPI will be announced tonight, here are my thoughts.
First, the conclusion: I tend to believe CPI will meet expectations or be slightly higher than expected; the possibility of it being lower than expected is relatively small.
The reason is simple: currently, $BZ oil prices are close to $110, the US dollar index continues to strengthen, and US Treasury yields are running high. The market's concern is inflation picking up again.
Here are the impacts of three scenarios on $BTC:
1. CPI higher than expected
Inflation pressure might be greater than the market imagines, and expectations for rate hikes may heat up again.
If the dollar and US Treasury yields continue to rise, it will be unfavorable for BTC. The weak rebound near $83,000 yesterday may further deepen bearish sentiment in the market.
2. CPI meets expectations
Not exactly a clear positive, nor a new major negative.
The key is whether the dollar and US Treasury yields continue to rise after the data release. If they keep rising, BTC may still be under pressure; if both fall back, BTC has a chance to rebound.
3. CPI lower than expected
This is a relatively favorable scenario.
The market may reduce concerns about rate hikes, the dollar and US Treasury yields may fall back, and BTC has a chance to see a wave of recovery.
But whether the rise can be sustained remains to be seen.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 Tonight at 20:30, the September CPI will be announced. The core month-on-month figures of 0.2 and 0.3 are the market watershed.
The overall CPI is expected to be 3.6% year-on-year and 0.6% month-on-month, driven up by energy price increases; the core CPI is expected to be 2.5% year-on-year and 0.2% month-on-month, lower than August's 0.3%.
This is the last inflation data before the Federal Reserve's October policy meeting, with the current market estimate for a rate hike probability at only 17%.
The core month-on-month 0.3% in August directly triggered rate hike expectations. Now the market bets this time will be a single rate hike without sustained tightening.
The key focus is on the core CPI month-on-month:
If it falls to 0.2%, the Federal Reserve is very likely to hold off on raising rates, postponing until December, easing market pressure;
If it reaches 0.3%, rate hike expectations will quickly heat up, increasing uncertainty for the October meeting. CICC regards 0.3% as the threshold to restart rate hikes.
On Thursday, there is also PPI data. Together, these two data points will determine the market's judgment on inflation and Federal Reserve policy.Recently, many people have asked me about the difference between low-volatility dividend stocks and high-yield stocks.
Dividend index funds and picking a few high-dividend stocks yourself may seem similar, but they are actually quite different.
There are three core differences.
First, metabolism. Companies age, and industries change. A high dividend yield this year doesn't mean it will be high next year. The business might decline, and dividends get cut; or the stock price might rise too much, diluting the dividend yield. Dividend indexes have rules to regularly remove underperformers and add new high-dividend stocks. The few stocks you buy manually won't remind you to switch; you have to watch them yourself.
Second, discipline. The index rules are fixed and won't change based on emotions. Don't panic when prices fall, don't get greedy when they rise, and rebalance on schedule. Individuals often do the opposite: they hesitate to sell when prices drop, chase after rising stocks, and end up buying at highs, which lowers the dividend yield.
Third, convenience and cost. Retail investors have limited energy to track financial reports, calculate dividend yields, and judge industry cycles, and they might not even get it right. Dividend indexes package all this work, have low fees, and are transparent.
But that doesn't mean you can't touch individual stocks at all. If you're really willing to spend time building your own screening and rebalancing rules and stick to them long-term, the results can approach the index. The problem is most people don't have the energy or discipline for this.
So the conclusion is simple. If you want peace of mind, buy dividend index funds. If you want to manage it yourself, that's fine, but first write clear rebalancing rules so you don't hesitate when the time comes. $ETH Ethereum sideways at 2507: like an ex who reads but doesn't reply, no CPI release, it stays silent
Sideways doesn't mean no ideas, it's "leverage washed out, ETF not returned, macro not judged" — three forces pinning Ethereum in the 2500 gap.
Why the sideways is annoying:
US ETH ETF 10 consecutive withdrawals (total about 780 million), no institutional inflow, 2,560–2,600 above 2500 is all selling pressure to break even

Bitcoin is waiting for CPI to speak, Ethereum is waiting for Bitcoin to lead. $ETH It was still red during the day, but now both have turned green. While the price is dropping, money is also withdrawing from the contracts — this is more worth pondering than just a simple decline.
In four hours: BTC open interest dropped from 2.56 billion to 2.48 billion, ETH fell from 1.7 billion to 1.5 billion. The long-short account ratio also retreated together, BTC from 1.92 to 1.52, ETH from 2.63 directly down to 1.54.
Price is falling, positions are reducing, and the number of long accounts is decreasing. My first reaction is to wonder who actually supported this rebound. Saying it's all short covering lacks enough evidence now; but I'm quite sure no new money came in. No one added positions during the rise, and everyone ran when it turned down — that's not genuine demand.
Levels: BTC resistance at 84,000–85,000, support at 82,000–82,500. ETH resistance at 2,580–2,600, support at 2,500–2,520.
I'm watching the ETH level more closely. Its previous support has flipped to resistance; if it can't reclaim the 2,580 area, the previous move was just a rebound, not a reversal.
CPI at 8:30 PM Wednesday, I won't make moves before or after, fearing a spike. If it really breaks through, I'll wait for open interest to catch up first — if money doesn't follow, I won't chase no matter how high the price goes. $BTC $ETH
*The above is personal analysis only and does not constitute investment advice*Conclusion first: This time it "stood back up," but hasn't "held its ground" yet — the real threshold is $2,590. ETH rose from $2,433 yesterday to a high of $2,539, closing at $2,515, a single-day increase of +3.58%, with a trading volume of $324 million, making it one of the strongest performers among major coins. But its situation is the same as BTC: it reclaimed the 7-day moving average ($2,505) but is stuck below the 14-day moving average at $2,590. It just lost $2,500 yesterday and took it back today, showing a back-and-forth tug of war. Looking at the structure: Spot price is $2,515, perpetual contracts are aligned, no de-peg. Open interest is about $1.398 billion; funding rate is +0.00744%, mildly positive. Price is up and funding rate is positive, indicating ETH bulls are a bit more aggressive than BTC bulls — but not overcrowded. The structure is relatively healthy. Looking at the position: Currently at $2,515, above the 7-day ($2,505) and 60-day ($2,504) moving averages, but below the 14-day ($2,590) and 30-day ($2,611) moving averages. The 14-day high is $2,778, and the 14-day low is $2,406. In other words, it is stuck between the 7/60-day and 14/30-day moving averages, with the upper moving average resistance zone ($2,590-$2,611) being its critical line. Market cap is $306 billion, ranked 2nd. ETH's DeFi, stablecoins, RWA Strive’s acquisition of 3,311 BTC stands out because it’s backed by a financing structure offering a 15% cumulative dividend on preferred shares. This could support faster Bitcoin accumulation, but it also creates greater pressure to maintain cash flow during periods of market volatility.
Compared with Strategy, the key difference is clear: growing Bitcoin reserves isn’t just about conviction — it also depends on the cost and sustainability of funding.
#DailyOrbit Don't just focus on the 24-hour inflow; that's an illusion.
What you really need to watch is where the money is moving on the weekly level.
ETH and ZEC show some short-term inflow, but stretched to a week, funds are all flowing out.
$BTC has a 5-minute net inflow of +12.87 million, 4-hour net outflow of 51 million, 8-hour net inflow of +28 million, and 24-hour inflow of +115 million. But over a week, there's a net outflow of 1.956 billion, which is weighing it down.
$ETH shows a 4-hour net inflow of +155 million, 8-hour +175 million, and 24-hour +200 million. It looks like a short-term return, but over a week there's a net outflow of 3.28 billion; the big money hasn't come back at all in the mid-term.
$SOL has +11.19 million over 4 hours, +19.34 million over 8 hours, and +36.92 million over 24 hours. A mild return flow, no bearish trend formed, but over a week there's still a net outflow of 516 million, so don't get ahead of yourself.
$ZEC shows an 8-hour net outflow of 22.65 million, 24-hour inflow of +36.84 million, and a weekly net outflow of 299 million; the big money is still moving out.
My view is: there is short-term neutral/ bottom-fishing capital returning, but all four coins show net outflows on the weekly chart; the rebound is not a reversal. Want to chase longs? First see if the weekly funds agree. Wait for CPI and PPI to be released and confirm that the big money is truly coming back before making a move. #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 Against the backdrop of the market widely expecting a pause in rate hikes in October, cross-market traders greater-fools are still increasing their bearish bets on BTC.
This account has cumulatively invested about $4,381 from yesterday to today, adding two new BTC bearish predictions in the prediction market: - "BTC falls to $65,000 by the end of the year" Yes: added about 11,000 contracts, invested about $2,639; current total position about 136,100 contracts, implied probability about 22.5%, position value about $30,600. - "BTC falls to $70,000 by the end of the year" Yes: added 4,510 contracts, invested about $1,742; current total position about 55,800 contracts, implied probability about 35.5%, position value about $19,800.
Meanwhile, this account Hyperliquid still holds a short position of 26.97 BTC, with a nominal value of about $2.2528 million, average price about $69,962, currently floating a loss of about $365,200. After the US September CPI is released tonight, if inflation exceeds expectations and drives the market to reprice the tightening path, it may become a short-term pressure source for BTC. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC 8:30 PM tonight, the whole market is waiting for one number
At 8:30 PM tonight, the US September CPI will be released. This is the most breath-held moment in the market this week: the expected overall annual rate is 3.6% (August was 3.4%), and the core annual rate is 2.5% (August was 2.4%). Oil prices have pushed the overall rate higher, but what the Federal Reserve is really watching is the core month-on-month — expected to be 0.2%, slightly slower than August's 0.3%.
The interesting point is this: the market is never really trading the number itself, but the "expectation gap." The overall 3.6% looks scary, but everyone knows it's caused by oil prices; if the core month-on-month 0.2% is realized, it would actually be a cooling signal. Currently, the market prices in about an 80% chance of another rate hike in December. Tonight's number will decide whether "to hike or not" turns into "when to hike."
BTC is now hovering around $83,000, ETH around $2,500, and the whole market is waiting for 8:30. Volatility is intense before and after the data release; on nights like this, surviving is more important than guessing right. Will you be in front of the screen at 8:30 tonight?
Risk warning: Volatility is intense before and after macro data releases; participate cautiously. For reference only, not investment advice.
#BTCI currently have a somewhat cautious view on Bitcoin.
The real danger is not that the price drops when bad news comes.
It's when good news arrives, but the price fails to rise.
On October 7, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of $485 million.
On October 12, another $65.4 million flowed out.
This indicates that at least during this period, institutional funds have not yet formed a sustained buying momentum.
Today, the market is waiting for the US CPI.
But I am more interested in seeing how Bitcoin moves after the data is released.
If inflation is lower than expected, US Treasury yields fall, but Bitcoin still can't break higher, then I would suspect there are still a large number of holders waiting to exit above.
Conversely, if inflation exceeds expectations, Bitcoin doesn't fall, and ETF funds start flowing back in steadily, then that is worth serious study.
I increasingly feel that trading is not about guessing the news.
It's about observing how much the market is willing to pay when faced with the news.
If the price doesn't fall on bad news, someone might be buying.
If the price doesn't rise on good news, someone might be selling.
Often, the price's reaction to news is more valuable than the news itself. Nightclub Girl's Crypto Trading Diary
Tonight's CPI focus isn't really about whether the core is 0.2% or 0.3%, but rather the rare divergence in fund flows among BTC, ETH, and gold.
$BTC: Institutional funds are withdrawing. The premium index has turned negative, with US capital taking profits; however, the number of addresses holding 100–1000 BTC on-chain has hit a new high, and whales have accumulated over 80,000 BTC in three weeks. Long-term holders are supporting the bottom, but short-term incremental buying is lagging.
If the core CPI is 0.2%, BTC is likely to surge and test 84,000–85,000; if the data exceeds 0.3%, the bulls around 81,000 will likely face a new round of liquidation.
$ETH: ETF continues to bleed. Last week, spot ETF net outflows exceeded 500 million, with BlackRock alone accounting for nearly 500 million. However, leverage has dropped to a seven-month low, funding rates have turned negative, and shorts are now paying to hold positions. As long as key support holds, short covering might trigger a rebound, but the prerequisite is that ETF outflows stop first, and that signal has yet to appear.
$XAUT: Futures speculative funds are exiting, but long-term allocation funds continue to enter. Gold ETF holdings keep increasing, with Q3 net inflows hitting a historic high; central banks worldwide have increased gold reserves for 23 consecutive months, with September's increase being the strongest in this cycle.
BTC's opponent in the game is on-chain whales, while gold is backed by central banks. The patience and holding logic of these two types of funds are completely different.Announcement content: Countdown 1 day! The familiar trading experience, a brand new on-chain stage. Exchange OS on-chain perpetual contracts & spot trading will launch a 30-day public beta, and related experience tasks will simultaneously be available in the Prophet S3 season. Stay tuned. From the underlying infrastructure to diverse trading scenarios, the on-chain trading ecosystem continues to evolve; the next generation of trading is now on-chain. My conclusion: This is the most important product launch for Exchange OS since the whitepaper release in May, and it is a truly meaningful substantial benefit for OKB. What this means: 1. Prediction markets can only prove that Exchange OS can run a simulated market; perpetual contracts are completely different, requiring simultaneous verification of: matching, margin, liquidation, mark price and oracle, risk limits; profit and loss settlement; unified accounts between spot and perpetual; system stability under extreme market conditions. 2. The official original design was to sink matching, margin, liquidation, settlement, and risk control to the protocol layer, allowing different venues to share this underlying system. 3. Therefore, these 30 days are not an ordinary operational event, but the first time the Exchange OS core trading engine undergoes public user, public order, and public stress testing. Once this system can run stably, external builders will no longer need to rebuild matching, liquidation, and risk management systems themselves; they only need to focus on asset selection, front-end, branding, users, and market operations. What level is this for OKB?Today's market focus is undoubtedly the upcoming release of the US September CPI data. Currently, the rebound in energy prices, volatility in AI-related stocks, rising oil prices, and long-term US Treasury yields could all push overall inflation higher. For $BTC, we need to pay closer attention to three specific things:
First, how much does the actual data differ from market expectations?
Second, is there a synchronous change in core inflation? If overall inflation is mainly driven by energy, the market's interpretation might differ from a broad rise in service prices and core inflation.
Third, after the data release, how do the dollar, Treasury yields, and risk assets react? If the data is high but the market has already priced it in, prices may not continue to fall; if the data meets expectations but is accompanied by rising yields, the market may reassess the interest rate path.
Therefore, Ajian views the CPI as a checkpoint to test market expectations rather than a reason to pre-determine direction. Especially since volatility may amplify around the data release, it is crucial not to ignore position sizing and stop-losses just because of a breaking news item #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $TRUTH 24h +30.5%, but it has already dropped 14.5% from today's highest point.

The second account is for those who chased the high at 12:00 at 0.023348,
with the same current price, they have an unrealized loss of 14.5%—
this account is in the red and if they can't hold, they have to cut losses.
The current price 0.01997 is stuck between these two groups,
standing at nearly 60% of the 24-hour range,
14.5% below the high and 33.1% above the low.

Retail investors at 0.70, nearly 60% of accounts are short.

At the high level, some are closing positions, not buying more.
My view: no participation at the current price.
MA20 is at 0.0191, this is the current line; if volume breaks below, look downward;
if bulls want to speak, they must reclaim 0.0211.

Tonight's CPI is the verdict on whether the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in October. If the core inflation data doesn't spike, Bitcoin can catch a breather; once the core month-on-month hits 0.3%, the critical 82,000 level becomes dangerous.
Let's first look at the market's current betting direction. CME data shows the probability of a rate hike in October has dropped to 17%-18%, with over 80% chance of rates remaining unchanged.
But what really decides the market tonight is the core CPI month-on-month. The market expects 0.2%; if the data meets expectations, the rate hike anticipation won't heat up, and Bitcoin has a chance to rebound around 82,000, touching 83,500.
However, if the data hits 0.3%, the judgment of economists at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce will come true: many items still grow above 3%, and the expectation of a rate hike in October will be directly revived.
Don't heavily bet on direction tonight; the CPI release could cause violent spikes, easily triggering stop losses on both longs and shorts. Wait for the data to settle before assessing market strength.百倍多空皆是双刃。$SOL 开109.06现107.36，155%收益耀眼，但百倍下回撤1.5%即吞半利。

$SNDK Micron leads the sell-off, and a technical announcement from Changxin directly stirs the entire storage sector.
The storage sector faces another correction. Micron has been weakening for days, retreating nearly 20% from its high, while SanDisk has fallen even more sharply, performing poorly both pre-market and during trading hours. Capital is clearly fleeing the sector. There isn't just one trigger for the decline: Korean storage stocks are catching up on losses, the support effect from major companies' stock buybacks has disappeared, and most critically, Changxin Storage announced new progress on 4F² technology.
Changxin revealed that by the end of the year, it will launch server DDR5 RDIMM using a 4F² architecture paired with its self-developed VSG transistor. The storage cell size is smaller, chip density higher, directly targeting the most profitable markets of servers and high-end AI memory.
With this news, the market immediately reevaluates the industry landscape. Domestic storage is no longer just about low-end substitution; the high-end track is rapidly catching up. The market's concern is not only the current competition but also the product price pressure from capacity expansion after 2027. The company's fundamentals still look strong, but valuations have already priced in expectations of the industry's peak.
This adjustment is very representative; the company's fundamentals haven't collapsed, but the market's speculative logic has changed. Previously, capital bet on continuous AI demand explosion and tight supply; now, domestic technology and capacity have become new variables.
SanDisk mainly focuses on NAND flash memory, so theoretically Changxin's DRAM technology breakthrough shouldn't directly impact it much, yet it still fell sharply. This shows how strong the emotional sell-off driven by sector linkage is.#9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息
Gold is showing weak momentum. The CPI data will be released tonight at 20:30, but it can be seen that the market's bet on the probability of a Fed rate hike has slightly increased from about 19.5% yesterday to 23% 🤔

However, 3950 should be a strong support level and was the previous "phase bottom". Be cautious of risks!"CPI is just a facade; tonight the real factor deciding Bitcoin's fate is oil!!
At 8:30 PM tonight, the US September CPI will be released. On the surface, it’s about inflation, but in reality, it’s about oil prices.
Brent crude is currently $106, just over $60 at the same time last year. With escalating Middle East conflicts and oil tankers frequently attacked, oil prices simply can’t be suppressed.
In August, US gasoline prices rose nearly 30% year-over-year, pushing CPI to 3.4%. The market expects 3.7% this month.
But core inflation, excluding oil and food, was only 2.4% in August, and the expectation for this month remains 2.4%, unchanged.
Simply put, this round of inflation is almost entirely driven by oil.
This is where the Federal Reserve’s difficulty lies. Interest rate hikes can suppress spending but can’t stop missiles in the Middle East. If oil prices don’t come down, CPI won’t either. The market now prices in nearly a 90% chance of another rate hike in December.
US Treasury bonds are already struggling. The 10-year yield is 5.21%, nearly hitting a 24-year high at the start of the month.
This is most critical for the crypto market. With over 5% yield in US Treasuries, who would take the risk? Bitcoin tried to break 84,000 four times but failed; this is the root cause.
Tonight, we’re watching two numbers:
If total CPI exceeds 3.7% and core inflation rises, it means oil is starting to transmit inflation elsewhere. Rate hike expectations will rise again, US Treasury yields will push to 5.3%, and Bitcoin will have to look lower.
If total CPI is high but core remains at 2.4%, then it’s just about oil. Most likely no rate hike at the end of the month, US Treasuries can catch a breather, and Bitcoin can relax a bit.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 7 days left, and this wave of rise from 75,000 to 87,000 has lasted for a month.
When I was browsing X today, I indeed saw quite a few bloggers complaining about the poor market.
This wave will either have another big rise or another big drop.
Perhaps only the release of important economic data can break this kind of market.
Will tonight's CPI release bring a significant breakthrough to the crypto world?
Currently, three signals can be observed:
1. BTC is mainly fluctuating around 83,000 USD before the CPI, the market is waiting for the data rather than having formed a clear one-sided trend.
2. The market generally expects overall inflation to heat up, so simply releasing a 3.6% year-on-year CPI may not be enough to cause a sustained decline.
3. The US dollar index weakened earlier, and BTC also rebounded, but this does not yet prove that funds have fully turned bullish.
There may be a wave of large fluctuations before and after tonight's CPI release, so I probably won't heavily bet on either side unless I really see a major breakthrough.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $MUBARAK Dog whales, isn't this just playing us short sellers like monkeys?$BTC
In the past 24 hours, $BTC shorts have been liquidated for $43.59 million, accounting for 85.5% of the total BTC liquidations. All the dead ones during the price rise were shorts. So what about the longs?
The short squeeze rally is like a cat pushed against the wall; coming down is only a matter of time. Moreover, after a wave of short liquidations, there is still $1.721 billion of cumulative short liquidation pressure around 87,510. If the price really reaches that level, it will be another round of short strangling. But the question is—does the current buying power have the strength to push it up there?
The correlation between $BTC and tech stocks has recently become visibly high. South Korean chip stocks have already dropped recently, and concerns about the AI bubble are not just talk.
Core logic: 81,000 is the line between life and death. Holding it means continued choppy grinding; breaking it means shorts accelerate.
Stop loss is set above 84,500. The logic is simple—breaking through and holding above the 20-day EMA resistance zone of 84,000–84,500 means the bulls have truly regained control, then I admit I was wrong and exit.$BTC
Downside targets: first watch 81,000; if broken, look at 80,000–79,840; further down is the dense long liquidation zone at 79,589, which once triggered will cause a chain reaction.
What is the biggest fear when shorting? Everyone discuss and learn $BTC #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 CPI night is here! BTC rising alone doesn't count as a win; ETH and SOL taking over is the real signal ⚡️
$BTC 83,356｜$ETH 2,505｜$SOL 107.41
Tonight PPI and CPI appear one after another, opening a critical window for the Federal Reserve. The market worries about overall inflation heating up, but the core month-on-month might cool down. The real suspense is: after the positive news lands, who will take over buying? 🤔
As of October 12, BTC and ETH spot ETFs have net outflows of 65.4 million and 85.4 million USD respectively. When funds are cautious, rebounds need spot volume confirmation.
Focus on three points tonight:
① Whether core CPI is below expectations and if US Treasury yields fall;
② After BTC rallies, can ETH/BTC and SOL strengthen simultaneously;
③ After the initial surge, can the pullback hold with reduced volume. 📊
If BTC shines alone while ETH and SOL keep lagging, I tend to see it as a news-driven stimulus rather than a full reversal. Data controls sentiment, buying controls sustainability.
With inflation cooling, do you choose BTC to run solo, or ETH and SOL to catch up? 🚀$SKHYNIX Why short Hynix but not short SanDisk???
First, Samsung and Hynix are Korean stocks, while Micron and SanDisk are US stocks. Recently, a large amount of foreign capital has started to withdraw and sell off Korean stocks [mainly selling Samsung and Hynix]. Coupled with Samsung's Q3 earnings falling short of expectations, domestic storage pressure, and Samsung's early end to its buyback, both Korean stocks and storage trends have been relatively weak. Therefore, Qiang encouraged fans to short Hynix, pocketing 3400u.
How to operate Hynix today?
You can still short it as before. There is basically no capital inflow into the storage sector now. Korean stocks closed today with a high open and low close, and the US market is likely to fall when it opens tonight.
You can continue to short in the 1070-1080 range.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $ETH $BTC Tonight at 20:30, the US September CPI will be released with major impact! Don't just focus on BTC; the reactions of US Treasuries and crude oil are even more worth watching! Brothers, tonight's data could decide the fate of the October rate hike. 📌 Market expectations: · Overall CPI month-on-month 0.6%, higher than August's 0.4% · Year-on-year up to 3.6% · Core CPI month-on-month 0.2%, continuing to slow The increase mainly comes from about a 5% month-on-month rise in energy prices. 📌 But many people still don't understand the difference between overall CPI and core CPI, so let's briefly talk about it. Overall CPI: includes all goods and services, energy and food are included. When oil prices rise, overall CPI immediately goes up. Core CPI: excludes energy and food, reflecting underlying inflation pressure. Service prices, housing costs, wage increases—these are what the Federal Reserve really watches. Why is this distinction important? If tonight overall CPI hits 3.6%, but core CPI continues to slow to 0.2%, it means inflation is driven by oil prices, not an overheated economy. The Fed may choose to ignore the energy noise and remain on hold. But if core CPI also exceeds expectations, that's another story—the underlying inflation isn't contained, and the rate hike restart scenario will be back on the table. 📌 So tonight, watch three things: First, BTC's reaction. Whether it spikes or holds steady after the data release will determine the short-term direction. Second, US Treasury yields. If the 10-year yield continues to rise, risk assets will be under pressure; if it falls back, easing expectations return. #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解
September CPI will be released tonight, where is the market divergence on Fed rate hikes?
Tonight's September CPI is the most important recent macroeconomic milestone. The biggest market contradiction currently is whether inflation is a sticky rebound or a continuous decline, leading to a battle between two major camps.
Inflation bullish, hawkish camp: believes service-side inflation is very resilient. If CPI exceeds expectations, it will prove the inflation decline process is obstructed. Many Fed officials have previously stated they reserve the option to raise rates again this year. This data will support the officials' hawkish views, the market will reprice the likelihood of rate hikes, US Treasury yields will rise, the dollar will strengthen, and risk assets will come under pressure.
Inflation bearish, dovish camp: judges that commodity prices continue to weaken, rent components continue to cool down, and CPI will likely meet or fall below expectations. With inflation continuing to decline, the Fed has no reason to continue raising rates, rate hike expectations for the year will cool down directly, liquidity expectations improve, benefiting risk assets.
Deep market divergence: some funds believe that even if CPI rises slightly, the Fed tends to hold steady, preferring to extend the duration of high interest rates rather than continue raising rates. Another group insists that as long as inflation rises, the Fed will not rule out another rate hike.
This divergence directly causes the current market's wait-and-see sentiment, with funds reluctant to bet unilaterally in advance. Once the data is released, it will quickly erase expectation gaps, whether it exceeds expectations or falls significantly, it will bring rapid asset volatility.#Korean stocks sharply drop then narrow rebound, can semiconductor buying continue?

The disagreement is not about whether a rebound will come, but whose money is pulling the index up.
The 90 trillion buyback is the company’s own money, and employee bonuses come from profits; neither changes foreign investors’ holding direction. The 173.20 trillion KRW sold by foreign investors this year is concentrated in these two heavyweight stocks, accounting for 87% of net sales— for the rebound to hold, this 87% must first stop.
The direction is to wait and see — foreign investors’ net sales turning positive for two consecutive weeks counts as taking over; relying only on buybacks means the rebound has a ceiling.
