Bitcoin Penetration Rate and Price Trend Analysis
Penetration rate is already high: The biggest impact on Bitcoin's price is that the penetration rate is already quite high.
Each bull market peak's increase is less impressive than the previous one.
Early bull market peaks rose tenfold each time: $20,000 in 2017, over $60,000 in the previous round, and over $100,000 this round.
Whether the next round can reach $200,000 is uncertain.
Bitcoin is gradually becoming like gold: The increased penetration rate makes Bitcoin similar to gold. Volatility decreases, and gains narrow.
Its positioning is digital gold, no need for flashy technology. $ETH has been hovering around 2,300 all morning
From 9 to 11 o'clock, three consecutive hourly candles tested 2,291-2,298, all were supported, now bouncing up to 2,319. But each high is lower than the last: 2,364 at midnight, 2,351 at 6 AM, 2,341 at 7 AM, now 2,320.
Honestly, the short position from last night was stopped out at midnight, this time the stop loss is set above that high.
Funding rate is slightly positive (about +0.005%), open interest at 627,000 ETH hasn't dropped much, bulls are still holding. With the Fed meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday, I don't think there's big money rushing to buy the rebound.
Key levels:
· 2,338-2,345: area where this morning's rebound failed to break through
· 2,366: above the midnight high
· 2,296: three tests of the morning bottom
· 2,282: near the three-day low
My plan:
· Direction: short on rebound
· Entry: 2,338-2,345
· Stop loss: 2,366
· Target 1: 2,296
· Target 2: 2,282
If it doesn't bounce into the entry zone, no chase; if it breaks below 2,290, no chase either. If the hourly candle closes above 2,366 with volume, admit the mistake and wait.
Do you think 2,300 can hold?
Just my personal view, not investment advice, DYOR
#ETH #ContractStrategy #FedMeetingBosses, I just opened my eyes and took a look at the market, and I came to one conclusion: the price hasn't moved, but the money has already left. This is the coldest divergence I've seen tonight.
The total open interest across the network shrank by 1.15% in one day, down to 139.466 billion. The contract trading volume shrank even more drastically, dropping 39.82% in one day to just 87.708 billion. With volume shrinking like this, BTC is still hovering above 80,500, ETH is oscillating around 2,350, and SOL is grinding near 101, with price changes all under 0.25%.
BTC open interest shrank by 1.65%, ETH by 2.63%, and SOL by 1.83%. The price hasn't collapsed, but positions are withdrawing first. This isn't panic selling; it's big money pulling chips off the table. Without strong data support on Monday, a 40% volume drop isn't surprising; but positions moving out simultaneously means it's not just Monday sluggishness.
Only ZEC is moving in the opposite direction: its open interest rose 3.80% in one day to 2.43 billion, and its price jumped near 1,216. But its liquidation amount reached 3.76 million, surpassing SOL's 3.31 million. The hotter the money chases, the more people get liquidated inside; this wave isn't purely strength.
It's like people haven't left yet, but half the chairs are already empty. If BTC can't hold the 80,500 level, the next step depends on whether trading volume returns to fill the gap; for ZEC, with this chasing pattern, if the three major mainstream coins don't add positions and ZEC doesn't chase higher, positions will be pressed down another level, and direction will be discussed once volume returns. $PEPE $RLS $XRP #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $PUMP
ai16z founder Shaw said that their reverse engineering of pump.fun's contract is not a simple copy but aims for byte-level consistency.
That doesn't sound quite right to me. pump.fun has long stopped losing on the code front; its moat is the early batch of players and liquidity it accumulated, the code is the least valuable part.
PUMP is now at 0.004194, down 2.6% in 24h, with a volume of over 15.8 billion tokens, equivalent to more than sixty million USD. The volume is there, indicating people are still in the pool, but no one is willing to push it up.
I've always been skeptical about the token issuance platform track; the threshold is low, there are many imitators, and in the end only one or two remain. The new king's rise has never relied on code alignment but on harsher fees or a crazier community.
So I have a question mark on ai16z's current promotion. If they really want to grab market share, subsidizing creators with money is much more effective than being stingy over contract bytes.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 To start with the conclusion: $CAP rose 37.8% in the last 24 hours today, climbing from 0.0826 to 0.1175, just 3% shy of the all-time high of 0.1208 on October 12. But on-chain data is moving in the opposite direction.
Cap protocol's TVL dropped from $232 million on October 22 to $201 million today, a 13% decline over 4 days; its native stablecoin cUSD circulation shrank from 82.83 million on October 21 to 75.43 million, down 9% in 4 days, yet the price remains steady at 0.9999. The protocol's 24-hour fees are only $11,000, with a 30-day total of just $474,000.
On OKX, $CAP has no spot anchor, only perpetuals: open interest rose from 340,000 contracts to 557,000 (+65%) in one day; 24-hour trading volume reached 149 million CAP, about $155 million, which is 25 times the open interest; funding rates climbed from a floor of 0.005% to 0.0375% over 4 hours, with longs starting to pay real money. CoinGlass readings align with this: a long-short ratio of 1.65, and a whale-retail difference of -0.066, indicating retail investors are pushing.
What’s rising is leverage and sentiment, not protocol cash flow. With this volume-price divergence from on-chain data, who do you think is making money chasing $CAP now? $ETH
6.42 million USD. The Ethereum Foundation just sold 2,785 ETH through CoW Swap, at a price just over 2300 each, roughly the same as the current 2319.
At the same time, another more interesting news: an ancient giant whale that hasn't moved for 11 years transferred out 5,000 ETH in 2 hours, worth over 11 million USD at the current price.
I've long been immune to the Foundation selling coins; they need to pay salaries and grants monthly, so selling coins is tied to payroll, unrelated to bearish or bullish views. Every time they sell to stir the market, I find it boring.
But money that hasn't moved for 11 years suddenly moving is different. Such old addresses either mean a team wallet is unfrozen or early participants really need the money; in any case, it's not a casual transfer.
ETH is now 2319, with a 24h low touching 2293, having dipped below 2300. My view is that this wave of selling pressure mainly comes from old coins changing hands, not from new negative factors. As for what comes next... let's first see if 2300 can hold back.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The post released by $UNITREE last Friday said that if you want to ride the continuation of the emotional premium, you could open long positions on Friday, and today is the time to take profits.
Continuing from last week's post, on Friday the robot sector resonance index and quantitative flattening caused an intraday peak, and Monday was the day to realize expectations. The opening today extended the profit effect, then divergence appeared, and many robot stocks fell back, which was already considered last Friday.
After the quantitative realization here, no new themes emerged to take over these funds, so the probability of intraday outflow is relatively high, which can also be understood as quantitative trading doing intraday arbitrage, selling high and buying low.
So after saying so much, the summary is quite simple. As I said before, the resonance index repair theme is not ending so easily; at least it will fluctuate repeatedly in the next few days. Plus, a few hours ago during sector divergence, Yushu Technology performed very well, stabilizing the sector's lower limit, so there is no rush to short yet.
I've said a lot of valuable points, not sure if anyone can understand. Because I professionally trade A-shares, what I say might only be understood by those who trade A-shares. If you don't understand, just focus on the key point: don't rush to short. 【Whales earned $353 million, I don't even have that many Happy Beans】
On October 26, Abraxas Capital's two accounts on Hyperliquid accumulated profits exceeding $353 million, still holding about $1.29 billion in short positions. The numbers are intimidating, but don't rush to follow the shorts: the nominal value of shorts does not equal actual invested capital, and cumulative profits do not mean all these positions are profitable.
This institution was previously tracked shorting ETH while buying spot as a hedge: in August, it withdrew about $173 million worth of $ETH from Binance, possibly running a long-short strategy.
The market environment is indeed weak: $BTC dropped back near $80,000, and on October 23, the US spot BTC ETF saw a single-day net outflow of about $636 million, so selling pressure is not imagined.
Next steps: watch whether Abraxas continues to increase shorts, simultaneously reduces spot holdings, and whether shorts take profits when prices fall; if BTC stabilizes and shorts start to cover significantly, this "smart money" trade could also turn into bullish fuel.Sisters, the most dangerous part of this ETH wave is not how much it has already dropped.
It's that the price keeps weakening, key supports are getting closer, yet more and more people in the market are bullish!
You might think the drop is a buying opportunity, but what if the support breaks? Would those buying the dip instead become the driving force for the next wave of decline?
Look at the trend over the past two days, $ETH has been pressured down from 2368, with the lowest point around 2291.
There were rebounds in between, but every time it pulled up, it failed to truly reverse the downtrend.
Now the price is back around 2312, which looks like it has stabilized.
But what I’m more concerned about is: is this rebound really someone stepping in to buy, or just a breather that makes people let their guard down during the downtrend?
First, look at the long-short data: long accounts already account for 71.52%, shorts only 28.48%, with a long-short ratio of 2.51.
Market sentiment is clearly leaning bullish, and many are expecting a rebound.
But sisters, remember, more long accounts don’t mean these people have bigger funds, nor does it guarantee the market will move the other way.
What’s truly worth cautioning is that if everyone is waiting for a rise but the price can’t move up, once disappointment spreads, the market could get uglier.
So my view still leans bearish.
The trend is weakening, support is right ahead, but bullish sentiment is getting more crowded.
What we need to watch next is not who shouts the loudest, but where the price actually goes.
$BTC
$ZEC
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $ETH's drop this round looks worse than $BTC's, and the reason isn't in the market itself but in the October subscription and redemption report.
The spot ETH funds have seen a cumulative net outflow exceeding one billion dollars this month. During the same period, Bitcoin funds still had a net inflow of three hundred million last week—the early-month losses were basically recovered in the following days.
This is not a general market decline; it's capital choosing between the two leaders. On the BTC side, corporate treasuries are financing and taking positions off-exchange, but on the ETH side, there are no corresponding buyers: the largest listed company buyer stopped once their position hit a self-imposed limit, leaving only the ETF route, which is currently flowing out.
The significance of 2300 is not because it's a round number. If spot falls below 2286, leveraged long positions worth nearly seven hundred million dollars on major exchanges will enter forced liquidation zones—this threshold lies just below the critical level. So what really matters is not where it closes relative to 2300, but whether 2286 is touched.
What's more troublesome is that there's no compelling narrative now. Funds are leaking, the upgrade timeline remains unclear, and on-chain fees are so low that no one is queuing. Money, narrative, and usage are all simultaneously absent.
Above, 2370 is a resistance level, and beyond that is 2440. To rebound, we first need to see the subscription and redemption report turn from negative to positive—the price can bounce somewhat on liquidations, but that path is blocked, and after the bounce, it returns to the same place.
#BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ $BTC Gold price fell below $4,000, and the crypto community is saying "BTC has dropped back to 80,000." Let's measure with a different ruler: How many ounces of gold can 1 BTC exchange for now?
🥇 2025/8 High: 36.7 ounces
📉 2026/3/1 Low: 12.3 ounces
📍 Now: 19.9 ounces
From March 1 to now, BTC has only risen about 22% in USD terms; in gold terms, it has risen 62%. The difference is all in the gold price: it dropped from 5,360 to 4,014 during the same period, a 25% decline.
So "BTC is weak" and "BTC is stronger than gold" can both be true, depending on what ruler you use. Just don't celebrate too early; it's still nearly half away from the 36.7-ounce high.
Price changes are not just about the price itself, but also about what you use to measure it.
Data compiled, not investment advice｜OKX BTC-USDT ÷ XAUT-USDT daily close #现货黄金跌破4000美元关口 $BTC Midterm election “curse” about to replay? November 3rd becomes the observation window 🗳️📉
🔍 Historical review: After the 2018 midterm election, $BTC dropped about 45.5% within a month; in the same period in 2022, the decline was about 7%, showing a big difference in magnitude. The sample size is small, so "post-election must fall" cannot be taken as an ironclad rule.
🌐 Macro perspective: Elections may disturb regulatory expectations, fiscal imagination, and risk appetite, but BTC is more influenced by liquidity, interest rate paths, and institutional funds. The real signal lies in the capital flow, not slogans.
📌 Key observation: Around $80,000 is an important short-term support. If it breaks down effectively, beware of deeper pullbacks; if it rebounds with volume and retakes this level, short-term pressure may ease.
💭 Personal view: Volatility may rise before and after the election, but history will not simply repeat. Rather than betting on a crash date, focus on support levels and whether ETFs continue net outflows.
⚠️ Risk reminder: The above is a review of history and market conditions, not investment advice. Do not heavily short due to the election cycle; manage leverage and position size carefully.
Do you think the “curse” will replay this time, or will BTC chart an independent course?

Hyperliquid perpetual contract market shows that $SOL just fell below $100, currently at $99.96, down 2.37% in 24 hours.
⚠️ I am more concerned about two risks: the position size is about $551 million; if volatility increases, leverage may exacerbate forced liquidation pressure, but position size alone cannot confirm a chain liquidation; the funding rate is 0.0013% per hour, if it remains positive, longs have to bear funding costs while waiting. This is data from a single platform and should not be taken as a complete picture of the entire market.
My risk control habit is to first write down the maximum loss per order that the account can bear, then check if the position size and stop loss match. Stop loss may also experience slippage, so preset loss should not be treated as an absolute limit.$BTC

现在已经是这次回调尾声了 In the past month, $BTC dropped 5%, $ETH dropped 14%, almost three times that of the big brother.
ETH/BTC is now 0.0290, the lowest in two months; it was still 0.032 at the end of September. BTC ETF had a net inflow of 300 million last week, while ETH has been continuously flowing out. Money only recognizes the big brother; it’s said that ETH has dropped too much and should rebound, but currently, no one seems to be picking it up.
BTC rebounds, and ETH bounces a bit along doesn’t count. If the ratio can’t get back above 0.030, ETH is just a more volatile BTC. The same applies when it falls.$ETH is bullish on ETH today, why? The price has already dropped to a level where it can't fall much further, increasing the probability of a short-term rebound.
Here are a few reasons:
1. There are whales rotating positions to buy ETH
On-chain data shows that large holders have bottom-fished and bought about 3,000 ETH. Such a level of capital buying during a decline at least indicates some believe the current price is not expensive.
2. The most critical level is right ahead
The 2300 to 2320 range is a short-term defense zone; as long as it is not effectively broken downward, bulls have the confidence to organize a rebound. The first upward target is 2360 to 2400. Santiment also views 2400 as a short-term watershed, and only standing above 2500 can it be considered a true confirmation of a bottom.
But a word of caution: ETF funds are still flowing out, with over $1 billion running off cumulatively in October, which is a heavy stone pressing down. So while bullish, don't get carried away. Keep light positions and use stop-losses; if it breaks below 2280, admit the mistake and exit, don't stubbornly hold on. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $XRP 今天早间现货快照中，XRP的24小时涨跌幅-1.46%，区间1.2834—1.3157 USDT。 相对差异不大，尚不足以证明新增业务需求。支付周转可以很快，业务使用增长未必要求长期持币，价值传导需要独立证据。 若相对表现跨多个时段改善且有真实使用增量，判断更扎实；若只有价格微小差异，应优先按市场波动理解。Computing Power and DePIN: Who Is Subsidizing Inflation by "Stepping on Their Own Feet"?
Decentralized computing power sounds disruptive, but beneath the surface, many projects' "real demand" heavily relies on token inflation subsidies.
$TAO, although a leader, takes the example of top subnets like Chutes: it receives about $52 million in TAO rewards annually, but the actual fiat income is only between $1.3 million and $2.4 million. The subsidy-to-income ratio is as high as 22:1 to 40:1, meaning that in these subnets, for every $1 a user pays, the network subsidizes tens of dollars in tokens. This prosperity heavily depends on token price appreciation to maintain miner enthusiasm, essentially "stepping on their own feet."
$GRASS is a fundamentally solid water seller, with a 2026 revenue guidance of $65 million to $75 million. But the pain point is extremely awkward: all profits remain in subsidiaries like DataCo, and the token lacks direct mandatory buybacks (public market buybacks are only about a few hundred thousand dollars). When you buy it, you earn emotional premium, not company dividends.
$VVV is a pragmatic player who only recognizes cash flow. It does not do node subsidies but directly enters privacy AI, with real Web2 user payments, and clearly uses 5% of API revenue directly for buyback and burn. It makes money and directly buys tokens, no gimmicks.
💡 Conclusion:
When buying computing power and DePIN, do the math beyond the surface: can its real external income cover inflation subsidies? And among the profits, is there a hard path to convert them into token buy pressure? $XRP
Slightly outperforming BTC, has payment demand already been priced in?
In this morning's spot snapshot, XRP's 24-hour change was -1.46%, ranging between 1.2834—1.3157 USDT.
The relative difference is not significant enough to prove new business demand. Payment turnover can be very fast, and business usage growth does not necessarily require long-term holding of the coin; value transmission needs independent evidence.
If relative performance improves across multiple periods with real usage increments, the judgment is more solid; if there is only a slight price difference, it should be primarily understood as market volatility.现在这个阶段更像博弈期，不是追涨期。 80000附近到底是护盘还是接人？ 周末复盘了几只票，最直观的感受是风险偏好没有继续扩散，反而在关键位前收缩了。BTC现价80191，81000已经破过一次，80000整数关口有人接，但链上两边打架：长期看做市商把7.7亿量级的BTC收回手里，短线又有5.59亿量级往交易所送，摆明了是准备卖的姿势。下周二议息，84.5%概率按兵不动，这种位置重仓押方向性价比不高，80000是这周的情绪锚。✨ OKB回到107.73，平台币的弹性一向大，大盘跌它跟着跌，但它绑着手续费折扣、打新资格和月度销毁，属于放着不用天天盯的品种。真正值得留意的是ZEC，从1187滑到1157，隐私币的监管模糊性一直在，弹性大但确定性低，这种仓位我会看轻一点。🍓 小币这边RE今天涨得最欢，链上风险补偿基金，合约里写死自动赔付规则，日内+1.7%。但成交量只有31万美金级别，池子最薄，涨得快撤得也快，想要走出趋势得等链上真的出现连环清算才有故事。BICO在0.01519，账户抽象方向没错，可市场现在还没给基础设施付钱，158万量级的成交只是跟着大盘微涨，要等链上应用真拉到新用户才#Oklo核能供电布局距离商业化还有多远？ AI算力的尽头是什么？以前大家说是显卡，现在行家告诉你，是电！谁手里有电，谁才有资格玩AI。 美股公司Oklo马上要在11月中下旬公布Q3财报了。这公司搞的是啥？小型核反应堆，专门给那些嗷嗷待哺的AI数据中心供电。现在它的算盘打得特别响，手里捏着大概14GW的AI数据中心供电意向订单，连Meta的核电项目、甚至英伟达都在跟它联手搞“核动力AI工厂”。前景听起来是不是极其科幻？但你看盘面，它的代币化股票OKLO却微跌了0.84%。为啥？因为商业化还没真正落地，审批、建设、巨额的资金投入，全是一座座大山。 小马哥的个人看法： 这个赛道方向绝对是正确的，AI数据中心最缺的东西正在从GPU慢慢变成电力。谷歌都开始签几十年的核电合同了，说明传统巨头对稳定电力的渴求已经到了极点。但资本市场是残酷的，正如社区里有人一针见血指出的：这属于“方向可能完全对，但价格已经开始提前交易未来”的股票。现在市场满脑子都是科幻故事，真到了财报季，资金就要看实打实的东西了：你工程进度到哪了？手里的现金还够烧多久？一旦进度不及预期，或者烧钱速度太快，哪怕你有英伟达背十月按兵不动的概率约 94%，几乎没悬念；但市场对 12 月加息的定价约 80%。所以周四凌晨（北京时间 29 日 2 点）美联储主席沃什的发言，才是真正的变量。周四还有 PCE 通胀，科技巨头财报也扎堆。 明日看点：周一无重磅数据，留意油价和美债收益率。$ETH #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ In the futures market, when I see big players increasing their positions as prices fall, I usually first ask whether there is leverage involved and if they might be forced to reduce positions, rather than just looking at how large their accounts are. There are several layers of accounting between big players' unrealized losses and market risk.
According to Arkham's monitoring, 0xfAb holds ONDO and LINK spot assets with a combined unrealized loss of nearly $400,000; about a year ago, they started buying $ONDO and have been adding in batches, with an average price of around $0.55, while LINK is a recently established position.
I see this more as a slice of holding pressure, not necessarily a bearish signal for the entire sector: the data refers to spot assets, so the logic of adding margin in futures cannot be directly applied; the combined unrealized loss of the two assets does not clarify how much pressure each individually bears; lacking information on total assets and fund allocation makes it even harder to judge the urgency to sell. My conclusion is that the amount of unrealized loss does not equal potential selling pressure.

In the future, will the storage chip market be dictated by buyers or sellers? For many years, the storage chip industry has had one characteristic: when supply exceeds demand, prices plummet and manufacturers' profits shrink; when demand exceeds supply, prices rise and profits explode. But I think this round of the market might really be different! Did you know? Hynix management previously warned that by 2027, the globalThis morning I saw BTC drop below 80,000 again, and my first reaction was that another wave of bulls got shaken out, so open interest should drop.
I checked OKEx BTC perpetual contracts, and the price kept falling during these morning hours, but open interest actually increased by over 1,200 contracts, reaching the highest in two and a half days. When it dropped below 80,000 last Saturday night, open interest decreased by five or six hundred contracts during that hour.
The number of long positions climbed a bit again, while the accounts with the largest positions actually leaned a bit more towards shorts. Small accounts are buying the dip below, while big accounts are adding shorts on the other side; both sides are increasing their positions.
So this morning's drop didn't scare anyone off; instead, it attracted a new batch of positions betting against the 80,000 level. If by this time tomorrow OKEx BTC open interest falls back below 30,000 contracts, it means these people have withdrawn, and I'll admit I was wrong.
Just to reconcile, I said yesterday that if ETH open interest dropped below 600,000 contracts by noon today, I'd be wrong; in reality, it’s just over 620,000, holding steady.LIT experienced a volume-driven drop lasting over an hour, with the price again approaching the previous hour's low. At 12:25, OKEx spot was around $3.011, down 7.4% in 24 hours. By 11:00, the hourly traded volume had reached approximately $662,400, about three times the average of the previous 22 completed hours; the 12:00 hour is not yet closed, but volume has already reached about $530,000.
My judgment is that the selling pressure has not yet passed. The 12:00 volume has clearly increased, and the price remains close to the 11:00 low. OKEx contract open interest hourly series declined by about 0.79% from 11:00 to 12:00. Net open interest shrank, but it is unclear whether this was due to closing long or short positions, so it cannot be taken as evidence that selling pressure has fully eased.
The 11:00 low was 3.0045. If the price subsequently breaks below this, and the final volume at 12:00 remains significantly above the recent average, I will continue to monitor selling pressure. If the price recovers above the 11:00 opening price of 3.1149 and open interest rises, this judgment will need to be reconsidered.
$LIT Breaking down this set of capital flows makes everything clear at once 📊
The core message: The funds fleeing now are basically all leveraged capital; the spot market is not experiencing a collective stampede. This distinction is crucial to avoid being misled by the market panic.
BTC 30-day contracts have a net outflow of 7.71 billion, and short-term capital inflow has long since cooled off.
ETH is even worse, with 30-day contracts outflowing 8.46 billion; its capital structure is weaker than BTC’s, and it has struggled to recover these days, which aligns perfectly.
Only SOL shows a contrast: 24-hour spot net inflow of 8.86 million, indicating some quiet accumulation at low levels; but contract funds continue to flee with an outflow of 24.01 million. Without leveraged capital returning, any rebound lacks sustainability.
ZEC is suffering in both spot and contracts, with 30-day contracts outflowing 1.04 billion. The previous wave of enthusiasm has completely faded, leaving only turnover, not capital return.
There is currently no positive news to support the market: The Federal Reserve is in a blackout period with no guidance; oil prices have risen above 116, reigniting inflation expectations. The market can only endure and wait for Thursday’s FOMC, GDP, and PCE data releases.
My judgment: BTC is oscillating below 80,000. The current slight replenishment is just short-covering to grab a rebound, not a trend-driven buy.
There are two paths ahead:
✅ Hold above 80,000, slow down contract outflows, and then the rebound has room to grow
❌ Fail to hold and break previous lows, continuing to seek support lower
Before the data releases, I treat all rebounds primarily as opportunities to reduce positions and never chase highs.
ETH’s capital situation is the weakest, so hold off on bottom-fishing ideas; focus on SOL’s spot accumulation strength. Without leveraged capital returning, a major rally is unlikely.
$No technical analysis, just thinking about two questions regarding $BTC:
1. From 120K down to 60K, with the bottom oscillating for over half a year, have all the people who cut losses already done so?
2. From 60K up to 80K, among those who bought within this 20K range, how many are still in a hurry to sell?
The main trend of BTC is driven by spot trading. Most of the trapped and bottom-fishing groups do not sell, so it enters a fair value searching phase. Former resistance will gradually weaken and eventually become as thin as paper.Regarding SK Hynix’s Q3 earnings and the contribution of HBM4, the key takeaway is clear: HBM4 remains a major driver of the company’s latest profit surge. However, stronger-than-expected earnings alone may no longer be sufficient to generate significant additional market enthusiasm.
📈 Earnings Outlook: Another Potential Record-Breaking Quarter
#SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
2. Key signals to watch in the earnings report that directly determine market reaction
✅ Positive signals (likely to exceed expectations)
- HBM4 yield meets standards, management provides clear Q4 ramp-up guidance, NVIDIA long-term supply agreement finalized;
- Overall HBM revenue share continues to rise, standard DRAM contract prices remain strong with no price cuts or loosening;
- Capital expenditure pace is restrained, no reckless capacity expansion to disrupt supply and demand, shareholder returns (dividends/repurchases) exceed expectations.
⚠️ Negative signals (likely to crash the market)
- HBM4 yield below expectations, ramp-up delayed, with Samsung and Micron capturing some market share;
- Spot prices for standard DRAM weaken, with weak demand in consumer and mobile storage outside of AI;
- Management signals increased capacity expansion, raising market concerns about oversupply in 2027-2028, directly hitting cyclical valuations.
3. Summary of future market logic
Short-term Q3 earnings: HBM4 is a story of expectations, not the main performance driver. Earnings beating expectations likely come from HBM3E plus general storage price increases; missing expectations often results from weak storage spot prices or HBM4 progress setbacks.
In the medium to long term, HBM4 is the core for SK Hynix to maintain its HBM leadership premium and extend high profits into next year. If the upcoming conference call provides solid HBM4 guidance, capital will continue to trade the storage AI supercycle; otherwise, the market will start worrying about the cycle peaking.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ In short: For Q3, the main profit driver is still HBM3E; HBM4's contribution to Q3 profits is minimal. It will be the profit weapon for Q4 through next year.
1. Why it's hard for HBM4 to boost profits in Q3
1. Timing issue: HBM4 only started small-scale shipments in Q4. In Q3, it was basically still in sample delivery, validation, and small-batch trial production stages, with very low shipment volume, so it can't contribute significant revenue or profit. The current earnings report market focus isn't on how much HBM4 sold, but on yield rates, ramp-up progress, and Nvidia's long-term contract implementation—these are the key factors affecting valuation.
2. Attractive pricing but delayed realization: HBM4 pricing is about 50% higher than HBM3E, with gross margins over 70%, making it a super high-margin product, but volume growth is expected next year. Institutions have already priced in some expectations for next year's HBM4 price increases and capacity lock-ins.
3. The real dual profit engines in Q3: continuous delivery of existing HBM3E + price increases in general DRAM and server DDR5. These two are the core supports for high profits in Q3 and the primary indicators to watch in this earnings report.$ETH still couldn't hold 2,300 this morning; the lowest point on Binance at Beijing time 11 AM dropped to 2,293. From 9 AM, it hovered around 2,300 for three consecutive hours, now pulling back to about 2,316, down nearly 2% in 24h.
$BTC hit 79,368 on the same candle, even lower than the morning dip, and just recently climbed back above 80,000.
PANews cited Coinglass data showing $215 million liquidated across the network in the past 24 hours, with longs accounting for $163 million; BTC liquidations were $75.29 million, ETH liquidations $41.18 million.
What concerns me most is Binance's ETH contract long-short ratio reaching 3.37, meaning about 77% of accounts are long, even more extreme than BTC's 2.26, with positions holding around 2.33 million ETH.
After a week of decline, longs are actually accumulating more. I think below 2,300 is not safe; better to wait for this batch of leverage to be washed out before watching again. #SKhynixQ3HBM4Earnings Regarding SK Hynix's Q3 earnings report and the boosting effect of HBM4, the core judgment is: HBM4 is indeed the key incremental factor for this round of profit surge, but relying solely on the better-than-expected profit figures may no longer be enough to independently drive market sentiment.$BTC This time, the Bitcoin price dropping below 80,000 and then quickly rebounding essentially represents a volume contraction probe + leverage washout + integer level support test, and it does not directly reverse the mid-term downtrend. The core details and subsequent logic can be broken down into the following points:
1. Details of the recent market movement
On Saturday, October 25, Bitcoin's intraday low dipped to $79,150, momentarily breaking below the 80,000 mark. Within 4 hours, about $404 million long positions were liquidated, with the total daily network liquidation close to $480 million, over 70% of which were long positions. Subsequently, the price quickly pulled back above $80,900.
As of midday October 26, Bitcoin spot price hovered narrowly around $80,270, with a slight 24-hour decline of 0.74%. Trading volume was only 67% of the 30-day average, indicating a clear volume contraction rebound rather than a systemic capital bottom-fishing.
2. The core reason for this "break but no fall"
- Leverage squeeze is the direct driver: Currently, derivatives trading volume is 10 times that of spot. A large number of newly opened long positions accumulated in the $80,000-$82,000 range. The dip below 80,000 essentially represents capital actively sweeping out this high-level long liquidity, rather than genuine large-scale spot selling.SK Hynix Earnings Report Approaching: To What Extent Must HBM4 Progress Be Realized to Truly Be Positive?
For this SK Hynix earnings report, I’m not keen on hearing phrases like “HBM4 progress is going smoothly.” The company already disclosed in Q2 that HBM4 began mass production and shipment in Q2, with continued ramp-up in the second half; so reconfirming “started shipping” in the Q3 report is not new information for the market. What really needs to be realized is whether the ramp-up has accelerated, whether customer demand can translate into continuous shipments, and whether HBM4 will start improving product mix and profit margins.
Currently, the market is torn between two things: AI storage demand remains strong, but I worry that high expectations may already be priced in. If HBM3e continues to support revenue and gross profit, the earnings report may not be bad; but this only proves the old generation is profitable and does not automatically prove that HBM4’s new growth curve is being realized.
I will focus on whether the earnings call clearly outlines the subsequent shipment rhythm, capacity ramp-up, and supply-demand assessment, and watch if the stock price can hold its gains after the report. If management only talks about strong demand and technological leadership but does not provide rhythm or guidance, the positive sentiment is likely just expectation trading; if shipments ramp up faster than previously planned, order visibility improves, and the stock price volume sustains post-earnings gains, that would be a true catalyst. Conversely, if cost, yield, or capacity issues cause shipments to lag plans, even if revenue beats expectations, I would retract my judgment on HBM4’s realization. The proof is not whether HBM4 can be made, but whether it can contribute profits.
$SKHYNIX #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Binance Wallet's AI wallet has recently been widely discussed in the new token launch circles. I've been watching for a few days and found that the truly interesting part isn't the functionality itself, but how fast ordinary people can get it.
One user posted their bill: on Ptahtrade, they bought over 200 tokens at $6 to $7 each, cleared all in the $15 to $20 range, making about $1800 in one round.
They also put all the tokens they shot out into flap's AI internal market, accumulating 12 BNB, close to $10,000. Looking at these two numbers together, it's not about vision but speed.
The goal set for their bot is to complete purchases within 10 seconds; four.meme just updated their GitHub, and they pushed the expectation down to 4 to 5 seconds. That means from seeing the announcement to completing the transaction is even shorter than the time many people take to open their wallets.
My view is that these kinds of tools shift the threshold from judgment to configuration. If you judge wrong, you can still avoid losses; if you configure wrong, it means continuous small losses every round. If you want to play, first set a hard cap per order and stop-loss; don't go all in right away.
He won't be home tomorrow and says he’s counting on Binance AI pro to help him catch this wave.80,000 is not a bottom, it's a paper-thin door. Funds are running, don't guard the gate for institutions.
Yesterday, some were watching the 15-minute candlestick chart shouting, "Funds are replenishing, a rebound is coming." I glanced at that chart and just wanted to say: that's not buying pressure, it's shorts closing positions, gamblers trying to catch a rebound risking their lives.
$BTC is now hovering below 80,000, around 80,151, slightly down 0.91%, $ETH at $2,329, down 1.23%, $SOL down 2.8%. On the surface, the declines don't look big, but if you check the capital flow column, it's not a matter of "small declines." In 24 hours, $BTC spot net outflow is 19.56 million, futures net outflow 257 million; extending to another metric, spot 64.86 million, futures 385 million, 30-day futures net outflow 7.71 billion USD. $ETH looks worse, 30-day futures net outflow 8.46 billion, heavier than $BTC. $SOL spot side has 8.86 million net inflow support, but futures still have 24.01 million net outflow, leveraged funds simply don't want to stay. $ZEC is the same, spot and futures both withdrawing, 30-day futures outflow 1.04 billion.
This is not a "short-term capital return fading" issue. The short-term flame has gone out, the mid-term pipeline is leaking, both directions are draining funds.
What really makes me firmly bearish today is not the capital data itself, but the collision of capital data with this week's macro schedule. On October 27-28, the Federal Reserve meeting; October 29, September PCE release; Q3 GDP and initial jobless claims data all packed into this week. Before that, September CPI and PPI already blew past expectations—PPI surged 1.3% month-on-month, nearly three times the forecast, the largest single-month increase since March 2022, with energy components exploding, gasoline up 20.3% in one month. Inflation is not dead, the rate cut narrative is being ground into the dirt, the 10-year US Treasury yield stubbornly stuck above 5.1%. Crypto assets live on liquidity; if Treasury yields don't come down, large-scale buying won't return.
Looking at oil prices, Brent crude has risen above $110, US-Iran hostility risks heating up, oil price rise directly feeds inflation expectations inversely, pushing risk assets into safe-haven mode. This is the "risk portfolio" QCP mentioned: AI credit pressure plus oil prices, two lines dragging $BTC into safe-haven trading. ETFs are voting with their feet too, on October 22 single-day net outflow was 636 million USD, IBIT and FBTC were the main drivers, the largest single-day loss since late June. Institutions are not panicking, but they are proactively reducing positions before events—that action itself is an attitude.
$ETH's situation is even more awkward than $BTC. It is caught between two narratives: one side is interest rate sensitivity, it dropped nearly 6% on the day CPI exceeded expectations, the market never treated it as "digital gold," still trading it like a tech stock; the other side is institutional channels opening, Standard Chartered UAE desk launching, the narrative slowly shifting from public chain token to institutional allocation asset. But right now, funds don't care about narratives, only positions. Ethereum ETFs have had four consecutive weeks of net outflows, Glamsterdam's Hoodi testnet activation delayed again, technical expectations disappointed, over 670 million USD in leveraged longs below 2,313 waiting for liquidation. The weaker capital structure compared to BTC is not new; the 30-day futures net outflow of 8.46 billion is the most honest answer.
$SOL's problem is even more naked. In October, $SOL fell about 15%, $BTC about 4%, nearly four times the difference. ETF five-day net outflow 30.3 million, five of seven products had zero liquidity on October 22. The little support on the spot side is a drop in the bucket compared to 24.01 million net outflow on the futures side. Leveraged funds are not staying; any rebound just fuels the shorts.
$ZEC is the same. After the strong rally ended, the signs of fund withdrawal no longer need guessing. 30-day futures net outflow 1.04 billion, spot and futures both moving out, this structure is not a "pullback," it's a "closing time."
$BTC is grinding below 80,000, 15-minute level fund replenishment looks lively, but put it in the context of 30-day futures net outflow of 7.7 billion, it's just a drop in the ocean. That's not trend buying, it's shorts covering, low-level rebound catchers using leverage to bet on an answer the Fed won't give. Retail funds have net flowed into exchanges 10.75 billion in the past 30 days, a six-month high, but whale net inflow dropped from 5.9 billion to 3.8 billion. Retail is buying, whales are selling, this picture is familiar.
At the 80,000 level, Glassnode shows enterprise treasury cost basis is in the 80,000–81,500 range; if price breaks below here, enterprise holdings enter average loss, psychological support turns into psychological pressure. KuCoin's report is blunt: break below 79,200, next support is 78,000–78,600.
I'm not calling for a crash. I'm saying at this level, the odds for going long are off. Funds are withdrawing, macro is pressing, ETFs are shrinking, leverage is fleeing, what do you have to bet on a trend reversal? Until the Fed's wording, PCE numbers, and tech giants' earnings reports land, rebounds are friends of shorts, not bulls.
Hold your hands. Don't guard the gate for institutions below 80,000.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议
The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision for October 29 is basically certain now. The market is no longer trading on whether there will be a rate hike in October, but on whether high rates can be maintained longer or even raised again.
The latest rate forecast shows a 90% probability of maintaining the current rate, and only a 10% chance of a 25 basis point hike. The market has fully priced in a pause in rate hikes this month.
For $BTC and $ETH, holding steady in October is no longer considered positive. The press conference will continue to release hawkish signals, with the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields strengthening again, further compressing the rebound space for the crypto market.
$ZEC 💻 I treat this news as a requirements review: According to Reuters, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu proposed using cryptocurrency to help the economy cope with potential international sanctions, which has been criticized by economists and political opponents. The input is "potentially facing broader sanctions," not that sanctions have already been fully implemented.
My judgment: This seems more like a backup payment plan rather than a direct industry benefit. The logical flaw is mistaking "being able to transfer money" for "being able to do business." If the counterparty refuses to accept payment due to compliance requirements, switching payment tools won't solve the problem; even if they are willing to accept, how to convert the funds and whether goods can be delivered remain another layer of dependency.
If I were to revise the requirements, I would first clarify the applicable transactions, the payee's acceptance, and conversion conditions before discussing how much economic activity can be covered. Otherwise, it's just that the interface is connected, but the business hasn't been executed. Please help me review: The biggest loophole here is whether the counterparty is unwilling to accept payment or if it's difficult to convert after acceptance?27到28号开会，按兵不动是共识，市场把十二月的加息概率押到七成六。这几句话没人不知道，我想说的是另一层：真正在定价的不是这次会议，是声明里"通胀上行风险"那句措辞会不会被删。删了，是给风险资产的礼物；留着，就是把通胀的责任顺手推给油价，剩下的账市场自己扛。 先把账摆清楚。布伦特周五收116.72美元、一周涨6%，四月以来最高；十年期收益率贴着5.3%，进口价格同比8.1%，是2022年7月以来最快的一次。这种感觉很少见：油价涨、利率不降、美元不松，风险资产还得自己找理由上涨。80,000破了以后没站回去，周末十亿美元级别的仓位被打掉，其中近七亿是做多的——这一刀不是恐慌砍的，是被动产品按份额砍的，跌的时候它反而卖得更多，机械的卖盘不看情绪。 这里有个反直觉的地方：加息预期变强，市场未必立刻跌。2013年5月伯南克只是第一次暗示缩减购债，十年期收益率三个月从1.6%冲到2.7%，可标普中间还创过新高——因为预期提前不等于水立刻被抽走。2018年10月不一样，鲍威尔把"离中性利率还很远"说出口，六个星期标普跌掉一成。区别就在这：前者是预期先动，后者是预期被确认。这次属于前一种，真正的坑在In previous years, there has always been a downturn at the end of a bear market, and this year seems no different. Now, with the added factor of the U.S. midterm elections, which generally cause a decline before the election and an increase afterward, it means the possibility of a market reversal in the near term is low. So, those wanting to bottom-fish will have to wait a bit longer to see whether the market will replicate the 2018-19 pattern or the 2022-23 pattern. The difference is that 2018-19 had two downturns, while 2022-23 had one. I tend to lean toward the 2022-23 market pattern, meaning this year-end decline may not be too severe. The market will mainly be in a consolidation phase, and then the next bull market will likely start as early as summer or autumn next year, or in spring 2028.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
Optimistic: Q4 guidance raises ASP and profit margin, official announcement of special dividends, HBM4 shipments exceed expectations → valuation recovery has a catalyst, but upside is constrained by overall sentiment in the AI sector;
Neutral (most likely): performance meets the expected 77 trillion KRW, guidance remains stable, dividends undecided → stock price will likely continue to fluctuate within a range, "good news is not new";
Pessimistic: HBM4 share and shipments are revised down again, 2027 price increase less than 2x, no additional shareholder returns → the market will reinterpret the "3x PE" as a "cyclical peak discount" rather than "undervaluation."$BTC On the eve of the FOMC: Don't bet two days as one direction
The real challenge this week is two days, not choosing one direction:
1) Wednesday, October 28, 14:00 Eastern Time, FOMC decision. The probability of "no change" on Polymarket has reached 94%, up from 52% on October 14. The market has fully priced in "no change," so the decision itself has little room for surprise; the only variables left are the statement wording and post-meeting remarks—betting on the decision's direction is equivalent to betting on an already priced-in outcome.
2) Friday, October 30, about 136,000 $BTC options expire on Deribit, with a notional value of about $11 billion, accounting for about one-third of Deribit's $BTC options open interest. The Put/Call ratio is about 0.55; bullish volume does not equal bullish sentiment, as selling, hedging, and spreads are included. The maximum pain point is around 78,000, which is the cost line calculated from the options ledger, not spot support—don't treat it as a bottom line for buying. Based on 32% implied volatility, the one standard deviation range before expiration is about 77,600–83,835.
This week is not about choosing a direction, but enduring volatility. Don't heavily bet on direction before the FOMC; if 79,220 breaks, first watch the 77,600 area; only after reclaiming 82,100 (the 200-day moving average) and holding for 1-2 days can a reversal be discussed.BTC is now at $79,500, down 1.44% in 24 hours.
But its 3-month implied volatility is at the 0.8 percentile over the past three years. The 6-month is at the 0.2 percentile.
The market is pricing in "nothing will happen" for a night that is about to explode with four consecutive shocks.
This is the most dangerous time. Volatility doesn’t disappear; it just shifts—from pricing into your positions.
Thursday 02:30 Wash speech—focus on wording, not rates. 90% chance no change this week, that’s not the point. The only point: will he still describe financial conditions as "accommodative"? As long as that word remains, the December rate hike sword still hangs.
Thursday 20:30 Core PCE + GDP—core PCE YoY ≥3.1%, overall PCE ≥3.6%, if either exceeds, the December hike narrative adds another brick. The probability of a December hike is already at 68.9%.
Starting early Friday, tech earnings—Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon one after another. Don’t look at revenue, only two things: AI capital expenditure guidance and cloud business growth. If free cash flow continues to deteriorate, Nasdaq will crash first, will BTC follow?
Three paths | Trigger conditions:
Path A | Hawkish Wash + accelerating PCE
USD and US Treasury yields rise together. If BTC can’t hold, watch 79,400—that day’s intraday support. Below that, 74,800 (short-term holder cost) to 77,600 (real market average) is the real dividing line.
Path B | Neutral Wash + PCE meets expectations + solid earnings
Volatility releases from historical lows but with an upward bias. BTC tests 82,500. But don’t expect altcoins to strengthen independently—liquidity squeezed from "ultra-low volatility" always first goes to BTC, not altcoins.
Path C | Unexpectedly dovish Wash, or PCE below expectations
December hike pricing pulls back from 68.9%, risk assets pulse short-term. But dovishness alone won’t keep BTC above 85,000. Whether it continues depends on earnings cooperation. Dovishness gives a rebound, not a reversal.
IV is at a three-year low, meaning "buying insurance" is very cheap now.
You don’t need to predict direction to survive this week. You just need to pay the cost of protection before taking any directional position.
Volatility has already given you a discount; if you don’t buy, that’s your own problem.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ Folks, on October 28, the global storage leader SK Hynix will release its Q3 earnings report. This report can be said to be a lifeline for the entire AI hardware industry chain.
All eyes in the market are now on HBM4. AI server demand is still surging, and the mass production progress of HBM4 directly determines whether Hynix can continue to dominate the market. As long as shipment volume, price, and profit margin keep rising, quarterly profits are very likely to hit a new high again.
But just looking at profits in this report is no longer enough. Recently, Micron and Western Digital had good earnings data, yet their stock prices were still hammered. Why? Because the market is extremely picky now, fearing endless capital expenditures by giants and fearing the peak of the cycle. If Hynix only delivers explosive profits but the guidance isn’t bright enough, or if there’s even a hint of hesitation in HBM4’s pricing power, the market will immediately turn sour.
This matter directly impacts our BTC. The sentiment of global tech stocks now hinges entirely on AI, and Hynix is at the very core. If its earnings greatly exceed expectations and the guidance is very strong, the risk appetite for tech stocks can stabilize, and BTC can catch a breather around the 80,000 mark. But if its performance disappoints and drags down the entire semiconductor sector, BTC definitely won’t escape and will have to fall further. $SKHYNIX $BTC $81,300.
This is the average cost line for US spot ETF investors.
Hold it, and the ETF buying continues to support the price. If broken, the next support is between 73,000-75,000.
CME FedWatch: 92.8% probability of maintaining rates in October, 7.2% probability of a rate hike.
The data is clear; betting on a surprise has zero cost-effectiveness.
The real information is not in the rate itself, but in what Waller says. He is very unlikely to give you confirmation of "tightening ending." September PPI month-on-month is 1.3%, the hottest since March 2022. Against this backdrop, the last thing a Fed chair would do is give you a break.
December rate hike probability: 67.5%-68.9%. Goldman Sachs baseline: one hike in December and one in March next year.
"Pause" is not a "pivot." There is a whole inflation issue between these two words.
The Fed gives you a candy in October and a slap in December. The candy is fake; the slap is real.
ETF cost basis is about 81,300, the 50-day moving average is about 81,700, both lines overlap in the same area.
ETFs have replaced corporate reserves as the main buyer of BTC. Since August, ETF net inflows are about $6.4 billion, while corporate reserves are only $1.5 billion.
ETFs are holding on, but struggling. Stablecoin supply has dropped about $12.7 billion from the May peak; on-chain "bullets" are decreasing.
Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, combined capital expenditure guidance for 2026 is about $730 billion, while direct AI annual revenue is about $25 billion—only 4% of the expenditure.
Meta has already fallen in advance: free cash flow turned negative $2.1 billion, the first time since listing. Microsoft’s free cash flow dropped 23% last quarter.
Revenue beating expectations? No one cares anymore. The market now asks only one question: who will pay the bill?
The AI story has been told for three years; starting this week, the market wants the receipts.
Thursday and Friday: PCE + ECB + BOJ
Core PCE year-on-year expected at 3.1%, previous 3.0%. The direction is up, not down.
BOJ is expected to keep rates unchanged but may hint at action in December or January. ECB appears the same day.
Five events: FOMC, Waller press conference, GDP + PCE, ECB, BOJ—all packed into 72 hours.
This week’s volatility is not driven by one event. It’s five events knocking at the door simultaneously.
October FOMC has no "surprises," only "confirmation."
BTC’s 81K defense line and the AI bill for tech stocks are the two real variables to watch this week.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC 先交成绩单。上一轮我摆的是三个做空——BTC 80,105.71→79,784.19（+0.40%）、ETH 2,328.18→2,310.04（+0.78%）、ZEC 1,204.02→1,196.80（+0.60%），三个全中，三个都没碰到止盈止损。赚的都是零头，这种成绩我不吹。真正值钱的不是那千分之几，是方向没站错边：那一轮全市场都在等80,000守住，我写的是守不住。 数据截至12时。这一轮我不追跌了——跌得最狠的地方，杠杆已经先被清洗过一轮，这时候跟着追空，是把最肥的那段行情让给已经在场的人。本轮三张单：ZEC继续做空，BNB和TRX反手做多。 ZEC｜做空 1,196.80｜止损 1,226.05｜止盈 1,148.06 这一个月的节奏很清楚：从480拉到1,368，再吐掉两成多，每次弹起来的高度都比上一次低。周日一个小时跌2.71%，24号单日跌7.76%把杠杆多头成串扫掉，隔天那根反弹是被扫掉的人的仓位在回补，不是新钱进来。年化资金费率算到10%以上，多头每天在付钱硬扛——这不是价格撑不住，是持仓成本撑不住。链上有两个地址一个月从交易所提走24,706枚、均价1,140$BTC is weak. Current price is 79,782.4, just a few hundred dollars above the 24-hour low of 79,321.8. The main liquidations today are longs, with amounts clearly outweighing shorts. This round of decline is a deleveraging of long positions; every drop in price forces a batch of stop losses. Contract open interest is still 7.55 billion USD, long leverage hasn't been fully cleared, so there is still fuel below. Options put/call ratio is 0.60, indicating some short-term bets on a rebound. DVOL at 38.4 is relatively low, the market wasn't prepared for a sharp drop, so volatility will amplify if a real breakdown occurs. Funding rates are slightly positive, just background info. Stablecoins totaling 303.2 billion USD are present, but there's no sign of them entering the market to support the bottom. On the chart, moving averages are in a bearish alignment with lower highs, consistent with this view. The previous low is very likely to break, and new lows will be seen next. Conditions to turn bullish: reclaim and hold above 80,929.5, otherwise this view is invalid.
