This feels a bit like the previous round: when the market reaches a point where direction needs to be confirmed, the stablecoin supply chart is also used as a cyclical indicator. When I see this kind of data, I usually distinguish between "weekly changes" and "trend changes" first.
In the 7 days ending October 29, Circle issued about 10.9 billion USDC and redeemed about 11.7 billion, a net decrease of about 800 million, with a total circulation of 70 billion. Unlike before when I only focused on issuance volume, this time I’m more concerned about whether the new supply can continuously cover redemptions.
My judgment is that the expansion momentum this week is relatively weak, but it’s not yet time to declare a cycle turning point. The 800 million relative to the 70 billion stock is a limited contraction; at the same time, there are still 10.9 billion issued, indicating that new demand has not stopped. Weekly data alone can’t clarify what the redemptions correspond to. I will continue to watch whether net issuance can form a continuous trend and won’t rush to label the market based on a single weekly report.Beneath the noisy $XAUT market lies an easily overlooked signal: the recent 10-year US Treasury yield has fallen below the 5% threshold, with funds continuously shifting into the bond market.
However, the anomaly is that gold and $BTC have both declined simultaneously during this period.
Bond prices rising while gold and Bitcoin fall together proves that this is not a typical safe-haven scenario. In a safe-haven trade, gold is usually favored by capital.
The current core market logic is deleveraging: the entire market is undergoing indiscriminate liquidity extraction, and market participants are selling various liquid assets at any cost to meet margin requirements, without distinguishing asset quality.
This phase is not suitable for rushing to bottom-fish. In an environment of ongoing liquidity contraction, even if valuations appear low enough, prices still have room to fall further. Much of the selling pressure is not due to subjective bearishness but passive liquidation.
We need to wait for this round of liquidity drain to end before assessing the bottom.
What level do you think this deleveraging market will continue to? $BTC Recently, cryptocurrency hacking incidents have been frequent, but surprisingly no one has tried to hack Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet, which holds over $84 billion.
What is stopping them?
A few days ago, there was an epic hacking attack that even turned the hot wallets of exchanges with top security teams into sieves, causing everyone to panic and withdraw funds overnight, leading to liquidations. Hackers searched the world for targets, yet no one dared to touch Satoshi Nakamoto's address. Why? Because it is a "one-way" black hole.
This address has had zero outgoing transactions since 2010. The 21.9k early miner addresses across the network have been thoroughly analyzed by institutions like Arkham, but as long as the private key remains hidden, it is invincible.
Now the community is constantly shouting, "Once quantum computing arrives, Satoshi's coins will be wiped out," causing widespread panic. But to be honest,
quantum computers (such as those using Shor's algorithm) can only break elliptic curve digital signatures (ECDSA) if your public key has already been exposed (for example, if you have made a transaction and the public key is on-chain).
However, Satoshi's early P2PK addresses have their public keys folded inside the hash. Unless quantum computers can reverse-engineer the SHA-256 hash algorithm (which currently seems very far off), with current computing power, they can't even figure out what his public key looks like. As long as he doesn't move, quantum machines can only watch helplessly.

#BTC持续震荡，后续走势受多重因素影响 The Federal Reserve just hit the pause button, but the market has started worrying about a rate hike in December again.
At the October FOMC meeting, the Fed voted 10 to 2 to keep rates at 3.75% to 4.00%, but two officials clearly supported continuing with a 25 basis point hike.
More notably, in recent statements, several Fed officials believe the current rates are still insufficient to fully suppress inflation, so the possibility of further tightening in December remains.
This is probably not good news for BTC.
The reason is simple: if the market re-bets on rate hikes, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields may strengthen, putting pressure on risk asset funding conditions. Although BTC has the narrative of digital gold, it is still difficult to completely escape liquidity impacts in short-term trading.
However, I don’t think hawkish signals from officials necessarily mean BTC will definitely fall.
The market often trades not on the rate hike itself, but on the gap between actual policy and prior expectations.
If inflation continues to run high and rate hike expectations heat up further, BTC’s rebound may continue to be suppressed.
Conversely, if employment and inflation data weaken, cooling December rate hike expectations, the market might see a sentiment recovery.
My judgment is that instead of rushing to guess BTC’s bottom now, it’s better to closely watch changes in December policy expectations.
What really determines the next market phase may not be what the Fed says, but whether upcoming data can change its decision.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Tether released its Q3 verification report last night: net operating profit for Q3 was about $1.5 billion, and excess reserves rose from about $4.1 billion at the end of Q2 to about $7.95 billion, nearly doubling. BDO conducted the attestation as of September 30. CoinGecko spot USDT is about $0.9992 (snapshot around 16:03 Beijing time).
The profit mainly comes from US Treasuries and repos, with issuance roughly stable in the first three quarters, not relying on printing more coins. The opposing view will remind: this is an attestation, not an audit, covering a single point in time, so don’t mistake the buffer for a cash pool that can be liquidated at any time.
This week, focus on one thing: whether the official side updates the detailed reserve composition simultaneously, especially if there are any abnormal fluctuations in US Treasuries and Bitcoin holdings. If the details don’t match or the buffer noticeably declines, treat this as a quarterly report pulse, not as a stablecoin credit upgrade.
$USDT
#USDT #TetherWhen I see this message, what comes to mind is the opportunity cost of dollar funds. Looking at stablecoins, I usually first ask: Has the macro environment changed the willingness to keep funds on-chain?
In the 7 days ending October 29, Circle issued about 10.9 billion $USDC and redeemed about 11.7 billion, resulting in a net decrease of about 800 million in circulation to 70 billion, with reserves around $71.4 billion.
I am cautious about incremental liquidity but do not take this as a credit warning. Issuance is still offsetting most redemptions, indicating demand has not stalled; reserves exceed circulation, so the mere reduction in volume does not imply redemption pressure.
My speculation is that if short-term dollar yields remain attractive, then actual use cases on-chain are more needed to retain funds. I tend to observe whether the reduction in volume continues and avoid overemphasizing single-week changes. Are people now more concerned about the Fed's interest rate path or the impact of dollar strength on stablecoin demand? 10.31-11.1 Weekend ZEC Strategy (Public Version)

#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Liquidity Squeeze Night: No Safe Haven, Only Withdrawals
Overnight, the global markets were almost universally hit: the Nasdaq plunged 2.86%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index crashed 7.2%, gold dropped sharply by 3.5%, silver fell below $50 with a decline of over 6%, and BTC also lost the $77,000 level. The market appears to be a "no-discrimination bloodbath," but the underlying logic is clear—liquidity is rapidly drained, and the market has entered a forced deleveraging mode.
The 10-year US Treasury yield fell back to 4.93%, bond prices rose, indicating panic money is flowing into risk-free assets. To cover margin calls and meet redemptions, institutions have to sell everything liquid: tech stocks, gold, silver, cryptocurrencies—all turned into cash machines. The so-called "safe-haven assets" do not have independent rallies under the pressure of liquidations.
Back to BTC, $77,000 is no longer a safety cushion. The 76,100 to 76,800 range is densely packed with long liquidations and is very close. Once a high-volume break below occurs, it could trigger a chain reaction of long liquidations, causing a more intense downward feedback. The truly darkest moment may not be the crash that has already happened, but the moment the liquidation minefield is ignited. For now, cash is king, leverage is the enemy.
$BTC $ETH $XAU
#美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 Bitcoin is now stuck in a rather awkward position: $75,900.
This number is not just an arbitrary line; it represents the cost basis of short-term holders, meaning the average price at which this recent group bought in. The price is stuck at the cost line, and this group is exactly caught between profit and loss. This position is the most prone to emotional reactions, with some wanting to sell to break even and others wanting to buy more to lower their average cost, two opposing forces canceling each other out.
What’s interesting is the market reaction. Binance experienced a hacking incident, and according to past patterns, an exchange crisis usually triggers a panic sell-off, but this time it was very restrained, and Bitcoin was not pushed down. Axel Adler Jr. compared it to the FTX collapse and concluded that the current resilience is stronger.
What’s the difference? The FTX case was an exchange itself being insolvent, with users’ funds directly at risk, causing a total collapse of trust; a hack is a single security breach issue, and as long as compensation and withdrawals go smoothly, panic doesn’t spread. One is a foundation collapse, the other is a hole in the wall.
So, the $75,900 line is the short-term boundary between bulls and bears. Holding above it means new entrants haven’t given up yet, and selling pressure above is limited; breaking below and failing to recover means this group turns from holders into trapped sellers, and any rebound becomes a sell-off. The direction of $BTC will directly lead $ETH and $SOL.
Here’s a thought worth considering: the market stabilizing so quickly after a hacking incident might not mean it’s braver, but rather that most leverage has already been cleared. A market without leverage can’t be deeply shaken.72% of funds are bullish on Apple's earnings report, with consensus expectations already priced in. The iPhone 18 shows a strong divergence: the Pro Max is selling well, but the Pro standard version continues to break price channels, and overseas market demand is cooling, relying only on the domestic high-end segment and price increases to raise the average selling price.
The market treats the ASP increase as a core positive but tends to overlook concerns: after streamlining models and abandoning the mid-range price segment, the user base will be compressed in the long term; rising storage costs will squeeze gross margin space, and the pace of AI service conversion is slower than the market expects.
The trap in this earnings battle is that most people are on the Yes side; once the data only meets expectations without exceeding gross margin and AI guidance, it is easy to see a sell-the-fact reaction. Even if the earnings data looks good, there is a risk of a pullback after the positive news is priced in. Following the crowd vote is not a safe choice. #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Recently, multiple asset classes have fallen simultaneously, mainly due to a sharp decline in risk appetite. The US stock market dropped nearly 3% in a single day, with the Nasdaq falling due to concerns over AI spending returns (Amazon and Intel earnings reports); crypto was hit by a roughly $6.3 billion hack on Binance, with liquidations exceeding $1.5 billion; gold and silver declined due to strong data raising rate hike expectations and forced selling; real estate saw a contraction in transactions under high interest rates, but it is not a full-scale collapse.
Highly leveraged tech stocks and altcoins may continue to face pressure. Relatively, cash, short-term US Treasuries, and energy-related assets have opportunities. Truly valuable assets will recover in the long term.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 $BTC Three tracks, three bets: Who is swimming naked, who is building channels?
ONDO, INJ, and SEI each fired a shot recently, but a closer look at their cards reveals completely different stories.
🔹$ONDO brings RWA products onto Solana. The $45 million locked sounds impressive, but holders don’t get a penny — this feels more like building channels for the ecosystem rather than digging wells for token holders. Net inflows and redemptions are the real test.
🔹$INJ turned GPU rental fees into perpetual contracts with 10x leverage to speculate on computing power prices. The idea is wild enough, but the problem is: it trades expectations rather than physical assets, and high leverage amplifies liquidation risks and liquidity volatility. Whether it can continuously generate fees depends on if anyone truly wants to bet against each other.
🔹$SEI’s 200,000 TPS is the most tempting but also the most dangerous. SIP-6 is just a proposal; governance, testing, and audits are still pending. Paper speed doesn’t equal mainnet performance. Even if it works, without applications and users, the fast lane is just spinning wheels.
My judgment is simple: ONDO bets on the patience of traditional capital going on-chain, INJ bets on speculative demand for financialized computing power, and SEI bets on whether the performance narrative can attract developers. Over the next month, I slightly favor ONDO — because RWA is anchored by real assets and net inflow data can be verified; while INJ and SEI’s narratives rely more on market sentiment and subsequent execution. Of course, the common risk for all three is: the story ends before the income arrives.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 Currently, 72% of the market is betting that Apple's AAPL earnings will exceed expectations, but this sentiment vote is clearly biased and cannot be taken directly as a result.
iPhone 18 represents a structural trend, with Pro Max selling well and the standard Pro weakening, relying on raising the average selling price per unit to support revenue, while the total volume has not significantly increased. The positive point is the strong demand in the high-end Chinese market and the rise in ASP; the risk lies in the low acceptance of price increases in overseas markets and the short-term difficulty for AI services to contribute incremental growth, with gross margins being pressured by storage chip costs.
The market is prone to a "fully priced-in" situation: if the earnings report only meets expectations without an additional upward revision of guidance, the positive sentiment is likely to be realized and then decline; only when both revenue and gross margin exceed consensus expectations, combined with an upward revision of AI business guidance, will there be sustained gains. Do not simply follow the majority's Yes vote in the market; the risk-reward ratio before the earnings report is not favorable. Storage price increase, the first to suffer are the computer manufacturers
$INTC fell 22% after hours, no one was accounting like this a quarter ago.
How this number comes about: storage chip prices rise, PC costs follow.
Costs rise, end products don’t sell well, and shipment prices can’t be pushed down.
Profits are squeezed from both ends, 22% is a one-time market revaluation.
One step further: the three upstream storage manufacturers are making money.
Money flows from downstream to upstream, the PC chain is just the transit segment.
A bigger drop doesn’t mean the bottom is reached, costs are still rising.
Before the accounts are settled, cheapness is an illusion.
#英特尔Q4指引不及预期，股价暴跌近30%
#$INTC Coinbase ended three consecutive quarters of losses and returned to profitability, which I think is commendable. But within the same results, trading revenue dropped 43% year-over-year to about $590.2 million, and this change also needs to be taken seriously.
Investment income and expense control improved profits, but that does not mean the trading business has fully recovered.
For the platform business, I still want to see users continuously trading, using products, and paying for services. Appreciation of proprietary investment assets can help the quarterly report but cannot replace customer activity itself.
This is also why I remain cautious about the idea that "profit exceeding expectations means overall business improvement." Behind one result, there may be contributions of different natures, and their sustainability varies.
I acknowledge the company's efforts to control costs. When the market is weak, managing expenses well is inherently a management capability. But if trading revenue can gradually stabilize afterward, profit improvement will be more reassuring.
Especially with Deribit integration and new products underway, the next thing to watch is whether they can bring actual usage, not just add length to the business presentation.
This earnings report gives me the impression that the company has weathered a period of pressure, but the market will continue to demand growth. Turning a profit is an achievement; restoring more solid customer revenue is the next step. Only by accomplishing both will shareholder confidence be easier to maintain.
#CoinbaseQ3净利润转正，交易收入同比降43% How strong is the pricing for a rate hike in December? CME data has been fluctuating, basically in the range of 67.5% to 85%.
A Reuters survey of 100 economists all expect a rate hike in December.
At the press conference, Waller refused to provide any clear guidance for December, reiterating "no belief in forward guidance unless in an emergency."
At the same time, he admitted that financial conditions have tightened since the rate hike in September. To translate, he sees the market working on behalf of the Fed, so he’s not in a hurry to lock in his words.
Nomura’s expectation is more specific: December will be the last rate hike, with rates held steady throughout 2027.
Waller himself also announced a change: starting in 2027, the number of rate-setting meetings will be reduced, meaning the policy path will shift from "fine-tuning at every meeting" to "longer intervals with larger adjustments."
For $BTC, the December rate hike itself has already been fairly priced in; what really needs attention is the new dot plot Waller will release at the December 8-9 meeting, as well as the October nonfarm payrolls and CPI released before then.

#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 SanDisk’s 378% year-on-year Q1 revenue growth and above-expectations Q2 guide show that memory demand is not a purely narrative trade. Still, a 13.47% drop after roughly 460% year-to-date gains suggests investors are testing whether operational momentum can keep justifying the valuation. The next reports matter more than the split.
#SanDiskEarningsSelloff There's another sharp drop coming, and no one has sold their chips yet $RSR This interest made me really happy
(๑><๑) Delicious meow!ETF fund flow data is out, brothers, take a look yourselves——Yesterday, the US spot BTC ETF had a net outflow of 643 million USD. After four consecutive days of net inflows, it all got withdrawn in one day.
ETH is even worse, with a net outflow of 156 million USD, marking five consecutive days of net outflows.
What does this indicate? Institutions are running. Previously, with no rate hike from the FOMC, institutions bought BTC for four consecutive days. But once the PCE data came out and rate hike expectations heated up, institutions immediately sold. A 643 million USD outflow in one day is not something retail investors can do.
This signal is very important. ETF fund flows reflect the most genuine institutional sentiment. Continuous inflows indicate bullish institutions, continuous outflows indicate bearish institutions.
Now BTC ETF just turned to outflow for one day, while ETH ETF has had five consecutive days of outflows. This shows institutions are less optimistic about ETH.
I believe in the next few days, if ETFs continue to have net outflows, BTC will keep falling. Only when ETFs return to net inflows will it truly be the bottom.

iPhone18 (Pro series) Sales + Financial Report Analysis
1. First sales day (9.18): 322,800 units sold across all domestic channels, 130% of the 17 Pro同期; Pro Max accounts for 55.5%, with demand highly skewed towards the top configuration
2. Three weeks after launch: domestic activations exceeded 3 million units, Pro Max single-week activations reached 760,000 units; standard Pro version shows weaker momentum, third-party channels quickly broke price floors, scalpers refuse to accept
3. Supply chain order adjustments: Apple made structural order changes, cutting Pro standard version orders by 10%-15%, increasing Pro Max orders by 10%-15%, total Pro series order volume basically unchanged; after price increases, market preference leans towards the highest-end models, mid-tier Pro demand under pressure
4. Overall China market: Pro series domestic sales up 29% year-on-year, core driver of this growth; US and Japan markets saw year-on-year sales decline due to price hikes, growth relies on domestic high-end segment support. It's almost 4 PM, and many brothers might feel like today's a lost cause and are ready to close their apps? Looking at the data of several popular altcoins, these manipulative whales are taking advantage of the market's nap to go wild at the bottom, with leverage maxed out, ready to shut down and crush the shorts anytime!
First, look at $ZEC, currently priced at 1268. The bears were too aggressive recently, but now the 4-hour long-short ratio has climbed from 0.48 back to 0.83. The trend looks like it can't fall further, and the funding rate occasionally turns negative, indicating the shorts are retreating. But don't rush to bottom-fish; the current rebound is weak and lacks volume support, so it's likely to keep grinding and shaking out at the bottom.
Next, $HYPE is at 88 now. It surged sharply before but is now drifting down at a high level. The long-short ratio is 1.53, and open interest is starting to drop. This clearly shows the main players have finished distributing at the top, while retail investors are still foolishly buying below. For such weakening meme coins, never try to guess the bottom.
Finally, $UNI is at 6.98, up 4.6% today. But looking closely at the 4-hour long-short ratio, it jumped to 2.48, and open interest has been soaring. This is a typical case of retail investors frantically chasing longs and bottom-fishing, with leverage stacked extremely high. If the market softens even a bit, these bulls will immediately become appetizers for the whales.
In summary, during this market consolidation, the main players are playing pump-and-dump games in local altcoins. Don't be fooled by the lively price action; the leverage underneath will shatter at the slightest touch. Control your hands and don't catch the falling knife.
Do you hold any of these popular meme coins? Are you in profit or trapped?
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 The storage sector can no longer hold up; when exactly will the opportunity for left-side positioning appear?
Market sentiment remains sluggish before the open. The storage track, which barely held up the day before thanks to SK Hynix, ultimately couldn't avoid a catch-up decline, and the previous layer of support was completely pierced. Google has fallen close to its March lows, while Micron and SanDisk are currently testing the key support formed in July; going forward, close attention must be paid to the election results and changes in the geopolitical situation.
The market is very likely to split into two scenarios: if the same party takes both the House and Senate, the market will probably continue to decline before brewing a significant reversal; if Congress ends up divided between the two parties, the market might directly reach a turning point. My plan is to slowly build positions in batches on the left side before November 3, then after the news is confirmed, to add leverage on the right side of the market. This is a window of opportunity to potentially expand capital, but leverage is a double-edged sword, and trading discipline must never be relaxed.
This is just a personal pre-market note and does not constitute investment advice. $SNDK $INTC #英特尔Q4指引不及预期，股价暴跌近30% $SOL is fluctuating around 95 dollars, dropping another 2% in 24 hours, and nearly 6% over 7 days. I won't talk about this bearish candle, but about a strange thing: over in Hong Kong, they're promoting HKDAP, a Hong Kong dollar stablecoin, natively minted and redeemed on Solana. While others open accounts to trade crypto, it provides a checkout service for Solana. Such news usually takes time to materialize and doesn't bring short-term benefits—I've heard too many grand claims of "going on-chain," but they all end up buried in wallets. The 96 price point is neither cheap nor expensive, with a 23% drawdown over half a year. Those who haven't considered betting on data landing shouldn't rush to gamble; wait until you really hear the water flowing before making a move. $SOL Some say that when a company buys Bitcoin, it's just gambling. I need to first see what money they're using and how long they plan to hold it. If their loan is about to mature and they're still hoping Bitcoin will keep them alive, then a business license isn't a talisman either.
Only if there's long-term idle funds and the operating cash flow can handle it can we even talk about long-term allocation, and even then, losses are possible. I hoard coins myself and won't increase my holdings just because some company bought in. Even if their announcement is full of passion, I still want to look into their debt repayment plans behind the scenes, which kind of spoils the mood.To pour some cold water first, opening long positions simultaneously in two wallets does not mean the bulls have effectively secured two valid votes. This time, two traders opened long HYPE positions with 3x leverage in a short period, with a combined nominal position of about $328,800. I prefer to treat this as a concentrated bet that needs verification rather than evidence that the market is going up.
I'm not in a hurry to get excited for two reasons. First, 3x leverage doesn't look aggressive, but assuming the margin remains unchanged and no additional margin is added, if the price moves about 10% against the position, the initial margin loss would be around 30%, not including fees. Even if the directional judgment is ultimately correct, the position might not hold up initially. Second, the two positions are not balanced: the larger one has a nominal value of $210,213, accounting for about 64% of the total. Although there are "two votes" in terms of number of people, the risk weight differs significantly. If the market moves against them, based on nominal exposure, the wallet with the larger position will bear a greater unrealized loss in USD; as for who will be forced to exit first, without margin details in the data, I won't speculate.
Of course, they might also be right; caution does not mean always betting against the bulls. My guess is that if the price strengthens later and does not quickly fall back below the reference price during a pullback, this aligned bet will be more convincing, and I will raise my evaluation of the bulls. I will next watch whether the price can validate the position, not applaud the number of wallets.$BTC is currently priced at 77,278.9 USDT (-0.37%), with a 24-hour low of 76,260. After a sharp drop from the high of 81,944, it has barely stabilized. The 1-hour J value has recovered from negative to 15.1, RSI6 has risen to 34.95, indicating some relief from overselling, but the MACD green bar remains as high as -507.5, showing that the downward momentum on the daily level has not truly exhausted. On the news front, a new negative feedback loop is forming. The Binance security incident involves about 6.3 billion USD in assets; although about 3 billion has been frozen, the remaining portion mainly involves BTC and ETH, and the unfrozen assets still pose potential selling pressure. ETF flows have simultaneously shifted: on October 30, spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 643 million USD, with BlackRock's IBIT outflowing 234 million and Fidelity's FBTC outflowing 201 million, sharply reversing the continuous net inflows of previous days. On a micro level, Japanese listed company Iole announced it has liquidated all 151.21 BTC, expecting a loss of 254 million JPY, with selling pressure continuing from October 30 through the end of November. On the macro side, the Federal Reserve held steady in October, but two members advocated for a rate hike, and the probability of a December hike has risen to 86%, keeping risk appetite under pressure. However, there is a dangerous contradiction in the market structure itself: prices are falling, but bulls have not withdrawn. The funding rate remains at +0.01%, long positions account for 73.56% of all market accounts, and top traders hold 63.83% of their positions long. This means that the support at 76,260 is built on the basis that leveraged long positions have not yet been cleared. 76,Every time $BTC CZ says "Bitcoin is dead," it seems like a clear signal to start moving 🤔 $BTC

#FederalReserve officials release rate hike signals, December expectations still divided The $BTC 6.3 billion hack incident remains the main storyline. Although withdrawals have resumed in batches and 80% of the losses have been compensated, market sentiment is still fragile. The Fear and Greed Index is only 30, indicating extreme fear. However, there is a divergence in capital flow: BTC spot ETFs have ignored the panic, with a net inflow of $440 million over four consecutive days.
On the macro level, the PCE data brought no surprises; macro conditions have not eased, and leverage has just undergone a major shakeout. The current market is in a state of intense tug-of-war.
In summary: The Binance black swan event has not dissipated, but ETF funds are entering against the trend.
Intraday trading strategy (maintaining the original judgment):
· BTC: Buy the dip near the 76000-76800 range, with a strict stop loss at 75200 and take profit targets at 78500-79000; the direction remains unchanged.
· ETH: Do not catch a falling knife decisively below 2211! Patiently wait for stabilization above 2280 before considering entry; if it breaks below 2150 effectively, expect further downside.
Leverage has just been shaken out, and market sentiment is still recovering. At this stage, waiting for a right-side stabilization signal is far more important than blindly bottom-fishing.

Usually, when the whole network is bearish and big players express pessimistic views, retail investors can't hold on and sell at a loss, while the main forces quietly take over.
⚠️ A reminder: Historical patterns don't guarantee a repeat this time! Don't blindly go all in, control high-leverage contracts, and steady dollar-cost averaging that fits your own rhythm is safer.

#FederalReserve officials release rate hike signals, December expectations still divided 1. Collective Withdrawal of HYPE Whales
304,600 HYPE tokens were unstaked, valued at 27.19 million; a16z-related addresses transferred 118,000 tokens to three market makers within two days, at an average price of $90.72. Unstaking, transferring to exchanges, and handing over to market makers all happening simultaneously indicates large funds are loosening up. This combination cannot be explained by simply changing wallets.
2. SEC Eases Compliance for ICOs
The public consultation for "Regulation Crypto Assets" ends on October 20, with 171 submissions, 70% conditionally supportive, and only 8% clearly opposed. The core is to establish a legal fundraising pathway: up to $5 million exempt from registration within four years, with more mature projects having two exemption tiers at $20 million and $75 million, and the creation of a "securities attribute exit safe harbor." The final version is expected to be announced within a few months, but the limits are tight—don’t expect a repeat of 2017.
3. Uber Uses Public Chain to Manage Cash
By tokenizing deposits through HSBC to purchase Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund, Uber earns an extra 1.5 days of returns over the weekend. Fireblocks expects hundreds of companies to follow within 18 months. The significance lies not in the amount, but in leading enterprises starting to manage real asset balance sheets on public chains, turning RWA from narrative into financial routine.

Today CZ clarified that he never said he would sell SpaceX stock; mentioning the holdings was just to show that Binance is not short of funds. It sounds like cooling down, but no matter how I read it, it feels like the matter was just laid out again.
The background is: Musk replied with a 😬 under the post about Binance being hacked, and CZ responded saying that the hack was no joke, casually showing his assets — $500 million invested in 2022 to participate in the Twitter acquisition in exchange for SPCX stock, now worth over $1 billion. According to his own calculations, losses exceed 6 billion, frozen assets over 3 billion, SAFU covers more than 1 billion, leaving a gap of around 200 million; this holding can cover half of that. Today he added: it won't threaten anyone, this scale is just a drop in the ocean for Musk.
I checked BNB, spot price 699.7, 24-hour range 693.4 to 710.7, hovering just below 700. The market basically hasn't priced in this verbal spat; the drop is still due to the overall environment. My feeling is that this round of responses is really meant to reassure holders about redemption concerns; the part addressing Musk is incidental.
What do you think, is the hack issue really behind us?
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 真给我整笑了😹😹😹本来我玩闪迪都冲刺100u档位了，结果来一个钱包丢了？#闪迪业绩超预期并宣布拆股，股价跌逾13%
市场定价已经一边倒押民主党横扫两院，70%的概率打满预期了。
如果最后真的是民主党拿下两院，属于利好落地，很容易走出买预期、卖事实，利好兑现之后资金趁机跑路，科技、存储板块容易冲高回落插针。
但如果结果偏离这个主流预期，比如共和党拿下其中一院，那就是预期翻车，会直接冲击现在的定价，波动会非常剧烈。
结合咱们手里$SOXL 、$SKHY 、$SNDK 这三单来看：这个事件就是一个巨大的不确定性炸弹。市场已经提前把最乐观的剧本计价进去了，
提前设好防守位，别被选举结果的黑吞掉这一大段收益。 $SNDK Multiple positive factors fully loaded (earnings report + stock split + buyback), but the stock was directly hammered in the afternoon❗️
Standard positive news realized, previous gains were large, so the invested funds took profits once landed, combined with institutions lowering target prices + the tech sector collectively weakening, the storage sector collectively plunged.
Short sellers caught a wave, and I also did a small All in on XP for fun😄
Mapping to crypto circle: cold wallets and node archives all rely on storage. Once the market worries that the storage cycle has peaked, the crypto infrastructure sector will also be affected.
💡Thoughts: A decline does not mean the story is over, it’s just a cooling of high-level sentiment. Don’t rush to stubbornly hold or bottom-fish; first observe key support levels. Subsequent stable storage pricing and cloud orders are needed for a rebound opportunity; if broken, further waiting is required. #闪迪业绩超预期并宣布拆股，股价跌逾13% $ZEC is currently priced at 1,268.27 USDT, up 3.32% intraday, rebounding from a low of 1,207 and encountering resistance near 1,297. On the 1-hour chart, the KDJ lines are converging, with the J value falling back to 54.22. The MACD shows a bearish crossover near the zero line, with the green bars slightly shrinking, indicating that short-term overbought momentum has clearly been released. The price is entangled around the middle Bollinger Band (1,275), and the SUPERTREND support has moved up to 1,212. The news front faces a double impact. Euronext, the pan-European exchange, announced the suspension of trading on CoinShares' Zcash ETP just hours after its launch in Paris. The official reason is that the central securities depository cannot support standard settlement operations; this is unrelated to regulation. However, the product will remain frozen until the infrastructure gap is fixed. Meanwhile, the NU7 upgrade has locked in mainnet activation around November 5 (block 3,543,405), reducing block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, increasing confirmation speed by about 3 times. But caution is needed regarding another aspect of the upgrade: about 22,000 ZEC (approximately $26 million) in the Sprout privacy pool will be frozen after activation, and holders who do not migrate in time will temporarily lose tradability. The capital side reveals a key change: short whales are retreating. The number of short whales has sharply dropped from 212 to 124, with positions shrinking from $135.7 million to $76.9 million. The average cost has been breached by the current price, putting them in a passive position to reduce holdings. Grayscale's ZCSH still saw a net inflow of $14.8 million in a single day, but weekly flows$BTC 📅 October 31, 2026 · Who is dumping
🚨 The market blames the Binance incident as the culprit for the dump, but the ledger doesn't add up. Hackers sold 7 types of tokens for $158 million ETH, while the total network liquidation in 24 hours was $1.112 billion, with longs accounting for $940 million — the hacker's selling pressure only accounts for 14% of the liquidation amount.
The real force pushing the price from 81,000 to 76,640 is the high-leverage longs themselves. Every time a support level breaks, forced liquidations trigger the next one.
At the same time, whales are buying: one address received 9,625 ETH ($21.57 million) from FalconX, and another new address withdrew 3,377 ETH ($7.52 million) from OKX.
Leverage is dying, smart money is buying. 👀🐷🐷🐷
#Bitcoin #Ethereum #Binance #Crypto #Liquidation$BTC $BTC
Bitcoin's market structure has a key feature that distinguishes it from most crypto assets: its security model relies on competitive proof-of-work mining. This establishes a direct relationship between mining economics, network security, and transaction validation. Long-term analysis should consider miner profitability, transaction fee revenue, and security incentives rather than relying solely on short-term price fluctuations. $BTC
Everyone is waiting for it to break 75,000, but how many have actually looked at the current cost basis of short-term holders?
Some analysts say Bitcoin is currently sitting on the cost line of short-term holders and claim its resilience is stronger than during the FTX collapse. I checked the live data: OKX spot at 77,322, 24-hour range 76,265 to 78,341, Binance at 77,307, no price difference between the two exchanges. The perpetual funding rate is slightly positive at 0.01%, open interest about $26.7 billion, no signs of panic liquidations.
My view: If it breaks below this line, this group will be fully trapped, and selling pressure could easily build up; if it holds, it means few are rushing to sell after just breaking even. The positive funding rate indicates leveraged funds haven't withdrawn, so grinding along this line for a few days is not surprising.
Of course, I wasn’t very accurate near this level last time and got proven wrong more than once or twice, so this time I’ll just watch and keep my hands off.
#美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 This is somewhat interesting, but when I see this kind of news, my first reaction is: the hype around small-cap tokens, can it withstand the test of liquidity? I'll first put away the bargain-hunting filter 👀
According to DefiLlama data, Uniswap V4 currently has a TVL of about $1.14 billion, down about 20.9% over the past week, with a daily change of -1.8%. This metric is influenced both by capital inflows and outflows and by token price changes.
My judgment is that this reflects a somewhat suppressed sentiment for small-cap tokens on DEXs, but it cannot be directly taken as evidence of capital flight. Price declines themselves can pull down TVL; if there is indeed capital withdrawal affecting small pools, then shallow depth may amplify slippage. Highly volatile assets present trading opportunities, but the on-paper price differences may not necessarily be realized.
I will observe whether pool depth and trading volume weaken in sync, rather than judging heat or coldness based on a single total volume metric. Recently, are you all more focused on DEXs or other DeFi sectors? What indicators do you use to assess their liquidity? "Airdrops are free money," this phrase now sounds a bit like a recruitment ad to me. I originally just wanted to try out new things on the chain, but later when browsing the community, everyone was guessing whether speaking counts as contribution and whether staying silent would be in vain. The tokens haven't appeared yet, but the feeling of waiting for performance evaluation has already come. When I calculate expectations, I also have to put a price on this time. Especially when I see "Thank you all for your long-term support, specific rules to be announced," how come after all this time, even the assessment form hasn't been finalized yet.The Federal Reserve held steady in October, but the two dissenting votes against a rate hike sent a very clear signal: the internal hawks are not satisfied with the status quo.
Cook cast a rare dissenting vote, Harker continued to apply pressure, and Waller repeatedly emphasized that inflation remains high and the 2% target is non-negotiable. The market quickly pushed the probability of a December rate hike above 80%, and subsequent speeches by Mouselim and Logan added fuel to the expectations—one said "tightening will be needed again soon," and the other directly pointed out at least two more 25 basis point hikes.
The essence of the disagreement lies in the pace. The mainstream voices acknowledge a strong economy, stable employment, and sticky inflation, but there is a split between "hike now" or "wait for more data." Waller deliberately downplayed forward guidance, leaving the decision to December, effectively placing all the pressure on the upcoming CPI, PCE, and employment reports. If the data continues to be hot, a December hike is almost certain; if there is a clear cooling, expectations may quickly retreat.
For trading, this means the uncertainty of the interest rate path remains high, volatility in short-term U.S. Treasuries and the dollar will increase, and risk assets will be sensitive to pricing whether the "hawkish pause is just a pause." Do not take the October hold as a signal that the cycle is over; the real game is just entering the December window. Both data and officials' speeches must be closely watched. #美联储官员释放加息信号，12月预期仍存分歧 I think this position is suitable for playing long. Last night, the ETF ran so much without breaking down, indicating there is support. This is also near the EMA200 support, the center of the previous consolidation platform.Last night, the global markets experienced an indiscriminate bloodbath. The Nasdaq plunged 2.86%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index was hammered down 7.2%, even gold, long considered a safe haven, crashed 3.5%, and silver fell below the $50 mark, plummeting over 6%. Our BTC also couldn't hold up, directly dropping below $77,000.
Looking at this market, many were stunned. What exactly happened? The comments below revealed the truth: liquidity across the entire market has been drained, and everyone is indiscriminately deleveraging.
Look at the bond market in the chart: the 10-year US Treasury yield fell back to 4.93%, and bond prices surged sharply. What does this indicate? It means that at this extremely panic-stricken moment, large funds are frantically cashing out and exiting. To cover margin calls, even hard assets like gold are being indiscriminately sold off, and ultimately all the liquidity flows into risk-free US Treasuries.
In this deleveraging meat grinder, there is no such thing as an independent "safe-haven asset" rally. When institutions face liquidation and redemption pressure, BTC, gold, and tech stocks all turn into cash machines. This is a classic precursor to a liquidity crisis.
Back to our market, BTC has fallen below $77,000 and is now on an extremely dangerous edge. Looking further down, the 76,100 to 76,800 range is the densest liquidation zone for longs, very close by. If BTC continues to crash down with volume and breaks through this area, triggering a chain reaction of long liquidations, that will be the truly darkest moment. #美股与金银同步大跌，避险资金流向分化 $BTC Seeing this message, I thought of a little insight about life: Near the end of the workday, when everyone says "It won't rain today," it carries a different weight than saying it confidently first thing in the morning. Judgments must consider the remaining time continuously.
On Polymarket, the YES probability for "Will Ethereum fall to $2100 in October?" is currently 2%, down 9 percentage points in 24 hours, with a trading volume of about $101,159 during the same period. The market will settle around November 1, 2026.
I think this indicates a mildly bullish short-term sentiment, but it’s not a strong positive. October is nearing its end, leaving less time for a drop; bettors’ judgments don’t equal the consensus of the entire market; and this trading volume is insufficient to prove how solid $2100 is. This is my understanding of the numerical weight, not a price prediction.
Young friends, don’t mistake low probability for impossibility. What do you think—is this probability drop mainly because confidence has returned, or because there’s less remaining time?There's something I've never quite understood: when the market drops by half, we panic like crazy, but not a single institution sells.
Bitwise asked 15 large institutions, and during the drop of nearly 50% from Q4 2025 to Q2 2026, none of them reduced their positions; some even increased them.
Their allocation ratio is only about 1% to 2%, so a 50% drop means just about a 1% loss for the portfolio. Meetings should be held, reports should be made.
For us, a 50% drop means our account is halved, and we wake up at 3 a.m. to check the candlestick charts.
It's the same $BTC, but for them it's a portfolio allocation, for us it's fate.
Maybe the problem isn't that we can't read the market correctly, but that our position size is too heavy—so heavy that we can't afford not to watch the market.Institutions have changed their tone on crypto. In the past, they asked when to enter and when to exit; now they ask what proportion of the portfolio Bitcoin should occupy. When the question changes, the nature shifts from trading to allocation.
Bitwise's first institutional adoption report on September 23 interviewed 15 large institutions. During the roughly 50% drawdown from Q4 2025 to Q2 2026, not a single one reduced their holdings; some even increased. Most retail investors couldn't hold on.
The allocation ranges from 0.5% to 13%, with most clustered between 1% and 2%. Precisely because the positions are small, they can hold: a 50% drop on a 1% position is only half a percentage point. $BTC is the common holding and also the earliest and largest position; $ETH and $SOL are included in some portfolios but at smaller scales. This reflects a differentiation in positioning—$BTC has secured asset status, while the others are still being evaluated for application value.
Mechanically, this is not driven by sentiment but by infrastructure. Direct coin holding requires solving private key management, auditing, compliance, and risk control, which is very costly; using securities accounts provides exposure. EY-Parthenon and Coinbase surveyed 351 decision-makers, with 66% having gained exposure through spot ETFs or ETPs.
However, 69% consider whether service providers have operational experience under regulatory frameworks as an important factor. Their willingness to hold is not because volatility has decreased, but because rules are starting to be established.
One question remains: if this capital truly shifts from cyclical speculation to long-term holding, is our decade-long bull-bear framework already obsolete for it?Coinbase premium has dropped to a 4-year low, and I analyzed it myself: more than half of this "discount" is actually because USDT itself is worth less than 1 dollar.
The common method is to compare Coinbase's BTC/USD with Binance and OKX's BTC/USDT. But USDT on Coinbase is currently only worth 0.9986 USD, so this roughly 0.14% difference is also counted as "Americans not buying."
I pulled hourly data from Coinbase and OKX for the past 4 days. Before Binance was hacked, the direct average comparison was -0.149%. After converting USDT to USD, it was only -0.010%, basically zero. After the hack, the direct average comparison was -0.215%, and after conversion, it was -0.040%.
So my view is: the US buying demand is indeed weaker, but not as exaggerated as the headline suggests. It's still too early to compare this to the bottom during the FTX incident.
When you look at Coinbase's premium, do you first deduct USDT's discount? $BTC
(Personal opinion, not investment advice)都跌成这样了,买一点总能弹吧？可昨晚有笔资金得先看清楚:比特币ETF1天流出去的钱,比前4个交易日流进来的还多。 大家下午好,我是白泽。按Farside统计,美国现货比特币ETF在10月30日净流出6.432亿美元,前4个交易日合计才流入4.408亿美元。二饼ETF同日也净流出1.557亿美元。至少从ETF这条通道看,买盘接力还不稳,不能因为价格暂时横住,就认定卖压已经结束。 宏观这边倒有一点缓和。昨晚公布的美国雇佣成本指数,季度涨幅从0.9%降到0.8%,就是企业工资和福利成本涨得慢了一点,有助于缓解部分通胀担心。但这份数据,还不能替反弹补上买盘,接下来要看价格有没有跟着转强。 大饼目前77370附近,从76260低点弹回来以后,早盘77586附近还是没过去。二饼2243附近,今天没有跌破昨天低点,相对更抗跌。所以眼下这段,先按弱势修复处理,不在区间中间追来追去。 大饼上面77550到77700,挨着今天反弹高点,这是短线压力区。二饼要等更高一点,2260到2270附近,那里靠近前一晚高点和小时均线。今天的重点,就是等价格到压力区,再按方案执行。 大饼77550到77700附近做空。To pour some cold water first, when I see a large number like "70 billion coins," I don't immediately take it as a signal of capital inflow. My judgment is that this news points to a bearish direction for incremental liquidity, but it's far from proving that the market is going to fall. Don't rush to get excited, and don't shout that funds are fleeing just because of redemptions.
Circle disclosed that in the 7 days ending October 29, about 10.9 billion USDC were issued and about 11.7 billion were redeemed, resulting in a net decrease in circulation of about 800 million coins, with a total circulation of 70 billion coins. I'm focusing on two points: first, issuance was considerable, but redemptions were even more, so at least this week USDC supply did not expand; talking about "new purchasing power" based on total volume doesn't make sense; second, reserves are about $71.4 billion, higher than the circulating supply, so the supply contraction cannot be directly interpreted as a repayment crisis. Where the redeemed money went is not mentioned in the material; exchanging it for other stablecoins or exiting the crypto market are two different things.
Of course, the bullish side might also be right. If USDC resumes net issuance later and other stablecoin supplies grow simultaneously, I will reassess the judgment of weak liquidity; if it's just migration between coins, the bearish significance of this contraction should be discounted. With this net decrease of 800 million coins, are you bullish or bearish? Share your reasons, especially on what basis you judge whether funds are switching channels or exiting the market?
