Five consecutive weekly declines, should we bottom-fish or wait for 67800?
Tonight's market is really frustrating me—not a drop, but grinding down patience. $BTC is now at 75973, fluctuating about 450 dollars within 24 hours, and the weekend felt like a standstill. But with the weekly close, this week marks basically five consecutive weekly losses; historically, only twice has there been a longer losing streak: the 2022 wave and the six weeks at the start of this year.
My judgment is: consecutive losses aren't scary; what's scary is money actually flowing out. The US Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of 1.28 billion this week, and for the whole of 2026, it has turned negative 914 million; BlackRock alone withdrew 1.21 billion; the fear index is 28, still in the fear zone.
On the flip side, over five weeks, the drop is only 12.4%, not a crash-level decline. On Thursday, 1.27 billion in leverage was liquidated, with longs accounting for 1.1 billion; the leverage washout is mostly done; 76000 has been tested for two days without holding, but there are buyers below. Tuesday's CPI is the next hammer.
So to ask plainly: with five consecutive weekly losses confirmed, do you think this is the bottom area, dare to slowly buy near 75000, or do you think the ETF turning negative for the year means waiting for CPI to land before considering 67800?

#美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 There is a balance on-chain, and money can be accessed anytime, separated by several doors
$SLX is quoted at 0.03753 USDT, down 6.8% in the last 24 hours. Solstice's yield vault has a minimum seven-day redemption period. After the money is put into strategies, the rhythm of entering and exiting products changes, and when calculating yields, this temporarily inaccessible period must be included. $RE is quoted at 0.29262 USDT, down 4.6% in the last 24 hours. Reinsurance funds need to support policies, and the amount of capital to reserve must be estimated together with underwriting and potential claims. This is more suitable for comparing where assets are and how long they can be released; the product's deposit scale is just the starting point, while the funds occupied by underwriting have their own terms.
$AAVE is quoted at 131.68 USDT, up 1.6% in the last 24 hours. How much depositors can withdraw depends on how much is still unborrowed in the lending pool. No matter how high the interest rate is, if the pool temporarily has no money, withdrawals cannot be made; one must wait for borrowers to repay or for new deposits to be added. ENA is quoted at 0.15456 USDT, down 5.9% in the last 24 hours. Ethena's sUSDe is unbonded according to rules, with a seven-day cooling-off period before USDe can be withdrawn. This waiting period is written into the product in advance and is different from temporary liquidity shortages in the lending pool.
ICP is quoted at 2.413 USDT, down 0.3% in the last 24 hours. When recharging native Bitcoin to its network, one must wait for Bitcoin confirmations before minting the corresponding on-chain certificate. This waiting cannot be solved by depositing more money; it depends on the original chain confirming that transfer.If you are comparing "buying stocks through a broker," "depositing USD in the Robinhood App," and "doing strategies on-chain yourself," this chapter clarifies two things: the full cost of moving money from on-chain to off-chain, and which assets are actually accessible in your region. The most expensive part is not gas. When it comes to on-chain costs, many people's first thought is gas. On Robinhood Chain, this is the least of your worries. On November 2, the base fee on this chain was about 0.02 gwei. A typical swap consumes about 200,000 gas; at an ETH price of approximately $2,270, the cost is less than 1 cent. Moreover, swaps within Robinhood Wallet are gas-free until December 31, 2026 (originally set to expire on September 29, but extended). The real costs lie in three other areas: bridging, slippage, and spreads. These charge proportionally; the more money and the more frequent the transfers, the bigger the difference. First part: On-chain. To send money onto Robinhood Chain, there are three routes: Within the Robinhood App: qualified U.S. users buy USDG in the app and deposit it into Earn; funds enter the app's built-in self-custody wallet. This route is almost seamless for users; Robinhood Wallet: in supported countries and regions, users can transfer crypto assets into WallI prefer to see these remarks as a correction in valuation logic rather than a new bullish slogan. Judging ETH's value solely by the amount burned is like only looking at how many coupons a store redeems daily, while forgetting to ask why customers keep coming back.
Vitalik stated on X that compared to fee token burns, he values ETH's property as a store of value more. He supports retaining EIP-1559 and the burn mechanism but believes that even if fee burns remain below the 10% break-even level long-term, there is no need for regret, as value also comes from other aspects.
I agree with this direction: optimizing the network just to increase burns might prioritize fee income over decentralization and censorship resistance. For ordinary users, usage costs and the burn volume expected by asset holders do not necessarily always align.
Another key point is that "stability" should not be conflated with "price stability." I understand the emphasis here is on the reliability of network rules and the asset's operating environment, not on low price volatility. This kind of reliability can support long-term trust, but bridging from network reliability to users' willingness to hold ETH long-term still requires genuine demand.
Therefore, I will not raise my assessment of ETH based solely on these remarks, nor will I score it just by burn numbers. Moving forward, I want to observe whether this underlying reliability can translate into sustained reasons to hold.BTC around 75,800, ETH around 2,239. Fear and Greed Index at 28.
Leverage and Funds: Over 1 billion liquidated in 24h, mostly long positions. However, funding rates have not turned negative, and the long-short ratio rose to 2.16, indicating bulls are still holding on stubbornly. The real drag is ETFs, with weekly outflows of 1.28 billion—the largest since June—and cumulative negative flows for the year. BlackRock redeemed over 1.2 billion in a single week, with very weak spot market absorption.
Whales and Macro: On the contract side, whale short positions (676 million) far exceed long positions (13.2 million). Although there has been some on-chain covering, it does not constitute a reversal. The stronger-than-expected non-farm payrolls raised December rate hike bets to 77%, continuing macro pressure.
Key Levels:
BTC support at 75,500 is the lifeline; if broken, look for 73,850. Resistance lies between 76,500-77,000 as a recovery threshold.
ETH support at 2,218, resistance between 2,268-2,281.
In short: Leverage has mostly been flushed out, but ETFs are exiting and whales are short. Do not chase shorts or rush to buy longs; wait for ETF outflows to slow or for a strong move back above 76,500 before considering. Position control is paramount. The weekend market was eerily quiet, but the non-farm payroll bomb had already exploded.
On Sunday night, BTC was at 75,962, ETH at 2,239, SOL at 89.6. The weekend saw such narrow fluctuations that watching the market was soporific. However, many overlooked that the non-farm payroll bomb had already detonated on Friday.
October added 165,000 jobs, while the expectation was only 65,000, nearly triple the forecast, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.1%. Once the data was released, the dollar surged, gold plunged, and traders aggressively bet on a December rate hike. BTC swung between 74,900 and 76,400 that day, barely holding above 75,000.
Despite the calm, leverage hasn’t been fully cleared. 15% of BTC long positions are still queued for forced liquidation. If there’s any sudden movement at this level, a chain of liquidations could happen in minutes.
$BTC at 75,962, 75,000 is the critical support; if it holds, consolidation can continue, but if broken, look down to 74,063 and 73,113.
$ETH at 2,239, 2,183 with 7.5 million is the next support; if broken, look to 2,133.
$SOL at 89.6, with resistance at 87.99 and 87.32.
The real drama will be on Tuesday when October CPI is released. This is the last inflation reading before the December meeting. If the data is hot, rate pressure will continue to rise. I suspect that the day of restarting withdrawals and deposits will never come; what core should expect is delisting and market exit.#BTC and ETH Spot ETF Weekly Net Outflow Exceeds $1.6 Billion
Weekly net outflow reached $1.647 billion, with IBIT (BlackRock) alone contributing over $1 billion in redemptions. Many are shouting "the crypto bear market is here," but from the perspective of financial analysts, this is not a collapse of the cryptocurrency's own fundamentals; rather, it is a typical case of macro liquidity withdrawal and institutional asset rebalancing.
Sharing three core logics:
$BTC #US Crypto Regulation: "CLARITY Act" Progress Stalled, 401(k) Rules Enter Final Review Nonfarm Payrolls Exceed Expectations, What’s Next for BTC and ETH!!!
This time, nonfarm payrolls increased by 165,000, far exceeding the expected 65,000, a significant beat. Unemployment rate fell and wages rose, typical hawkish data. After the data release, the probability of a December rate hike rose, US Treasury yields and the dollar strengthened, and tightening expectations suppressed BTC and ETH.
BTC: Highly correlated with the Nasdaq, it quickly dipped after the data release, with long leverage positions concentrated in liquidation. ETF funds are prone to outflow, and once support breaks, selling pressure will accelerate; BTC has a larger market cap and less downside elasticity than ETH, key support at 74,000.
ETH: Exhibits stronger high Beta characteristics, combined with DeFi and derivatives leverage, volatility is significantly greater. Rising interest rates increase funding costs, DeFi funds contract, bearish for the ETH ecosystem, pullbacks are usually stronger, key support at 2,200.
Market rhythm: This is a realization of bearish factors. The first wave was a sharp drop killing longs at the moment of data release; the second phase depends on whether US Treasury yields can continue to rise, a short-term weak rebound will come only after a peak and pullback.
The above is for market review reference only and does not constitute any trading advice.
Check your positions and verify stop-loss levels align with the two key supports at 74,000 and 2,200.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Evening session on November 8 | Shrinking volume grinding bottom ahead of CPI, who is quietly accumulating?
BTC 75,936 (+0.27%): Narrow consolidation above 75,000 over the weekend. Resistance at 76,668, support line at 75,542. Last week, ETF net outflow hit a new phase high of 1.28 billion, but 4-hour spot shows absorption while leverage is withdrawing, indicating short-term funds are quietly bottom fishing.
ETH 2,238 (+0.08%): Strong resistance at 2,330 remains unbroken. About 3 billion outflow in spot over 30 days, indicating weak capital flow. However, a whale withdrew over 18,000 coins in five days, with 2,200 as its core cost defense line. ETF is exiting, whales are accumulating.
ZEC 1,269 (+0.97%): NU7 upgrade launched, currently in the "sell the fact" digestion period. The most notable on-chain activity: about 1,670 mixed ETH coins transferred in the past 20 hours to buy nearly 3,000 ZEC. Watch closely for signs of gray capital rotation, with support at 1,235.
On the macro side, stronger-than-expected non-farm payrolls reinforce rate hike expectations, Democratic control of both houses raises regulatory tightening concerns, and funds are mostly cautious ahead of Tuesday's CPI release.
ETF is bleeding, whales are defending, ZEC shows hacker fund rotation—before the CPI release, who do you think is most likely to break out independently first?
Defense bottom lines: 75,542 (BTC), 2,197 (ETH), 1,235 (ZEC).
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 There's something I've never quite figured out. ETH burns tokens every day, the data looks better year after year, so why doesn't the price move much?
Only after hearing Vitalik's explanation did I understand the issue—he said not to take the fee burn too seriously; even if it stays below the breakeven level by 10% long-term, there's no need to be disappointed.
So all this time I've been watching the burn data, but in their eyes, it's not the core. Optimizing for deflation might sacrifice decentralization.
Therefore, $ETH should lean towards being a store of value. But isn't that position already held by $BTC? Are they competing for the same pool of money or each occupying their own? I haven't figured it out yet, so I won't make a move for now.On the surface, CORE is still telling stories, but underneath it has already become quietly chilling. A four-year cycle, what exactly does it still have left? Looking over CORE's recent trend, what stings me most isn't the drop, but the disconnect of "lively yet structurally lagging." Occasionally, some in the community call for a counterattack, but the market depth is as thin as a sheet of paper, unable to support a decent rebound. It feels more like retail investors passing chips among themselves rather than new money entering.✨ The signal I see is very clear: the project has completed a full cycle, the ecosystem hasn't materialized, market cap hasn't grown, and the price has almost returned to the starting point. This isn't simply "not the right time yet," but rather the development logic has been falsified by time. The most costly thing is never unrealized losses, but the sunk time cost; waiting four years for an undelivered result is the answer itself. Looking at the bigger picture, this kind of asset is now in the most awkward position. Once BTC and ETH regain attention, the denominator effect on altcoins will amplify, making the weak even weaker. Without institutional endorsement or main force support, the remaining liquidity can only be propped up by sentiment, and sentiment is the first to withdraw. Nominally still trading, but in essence, risk appetite has quietly been downgraded. The bullish path is not entirely impossible: if there is a large capital injection later or verifiable business progress, the narrative can be repriced, and the oversold rebound elasticity would be significant. But this path requires hard catalysts, not slogans. Until then, any rally I prefer to see as a correction within a trend, not an independent market.🫧 The real overlooked risk is that many people are still usingThis time, Vitalik is not talking about the technical roadmap but about giving ETH a new valuation anchor.
In the past few years, ETH bulls loved to cite the burn volume: the more burned, the more deflationary, the more valuable. But now he makes it very clear—positioning ETH as a fee-burning token and optimizing around this goal may come at the cost of decentralization and censorship resistance. These two are precisely what make Ethereum hardest to replicate, and giving them up for a deflationary narrative is not worthwhile.
Specifically, he did not deny EIP-1559; the burn mechanism remains. But he gave a wide tolerance: even if the burn is long-term below the breakeven level by 10%, there is no need to be disappointed. In his framework, burn volume has been downgraded from a target to a byproduct.
This pushes ETH onto a different track. Store of value—these four words have belonged exclusively to $BTC for the past decade. For ETH to squeeze in, it relies not on more deflation but on the stability brought by the combination of a smart contract ecosystem and maintained decentralization. For long-term holders, stability can be priced.
Worth pondering: if valuation no longer looks at burn, then what does it look at? On-chain settlement scale, staking yield, and whether it can occupy a position in institutional allocation that is not as expensive as $BTC but more useful.
This narrative will not immediately reflect in the price in the short term, but it determines how bulls will open their pitch about ETH in the coming years.Someone asked me, BTC contracts brought in 39.43 million in one day, does the 75,943 level count as a reversal?
I'll give the answer first: This amount of money in 24 hours can't fill the hole dug in 30 days!
BTC spot also brought in 7.38 million in 24 hours, double inflow is correct. But the 7-day contracts issued 1.795 billion, and the 30-day contracts issued 8.558 billion. The amount coming in one day is just a fraction of what was issued in less than a month.
ETH is even more straightforward, all three windows are flowing out. Spot issued 54.75 million in 24 hours, contracts issued 105 million, and 30-day contracts issued 6.75 billion, not even enough to cover the 24-hour shame.
SOL is a twisted link: spot brought in 215.4 thousand in 24 hours, contracts issued 52.2633 million. The 7-day spot brought in 49.84 million, contracts issued 420 million. SOL is still stuck at 89.57, hasn't stood back above 90, I’m still holding the short at 106.52.
ZEC is the opposite: spot brought in 8.3482 million, contracts brought in 33.2011 million. But ZEC still dropped 1.22% in one day, the long cost at 0.0281% is the most expensive among the four coins, money came in, but the knife hasn't stopped.
So for this 24-hour set of numbers, I only treat it as a breather, not a reversal. Money is moving in two batches, one batch goes into spot, the other batch withdraws leverage. Before the direction is unified, I neither add positions nor flip to long.
If the money really comes back, first ask: when will the 8.558 billion issued in 30 days be willing to return?There was a breaking news report stating that the tokenized assets on another chain are about $26.37 billion, saying it has already surpassed the approximately $15.11 billion here. But these two figures are not measured by the same standard.
That $26.37 billion is the "representative asset value" shown on the dashboard, which records off-chain assets registered on-chain, and does not equal the amount already distributed to others or transferable. On the other chain, the transferable amount is roughly only $54.07 million. The $15.11 billion compared here uses the standard of assets already distributed and transferable.
The number of holders here is about 292,000, while there it is 210; the amount transferred in the last 30 days here is about $6.67 billion, while there it is about $1.74 million. Larger numbers only indicate different accounting standards, and it does not mean this side has already been overtaken.
$ETH Tesla $TSLA closed at about $358.22 on Friday, rebounding approximately 4.23% that day. After Musk said the Texas Cybertruck production line would be repurposed for Cybercab, buyers partially recovered Thursday's roughly 10.77% drop.
Musk stated that the Texas Gigafactory will gradually stop Cybertruck production around mid-2027 to free up capacity for Cybercab. This vehicle is currently only produced in Texas. He did not say whether production would continue at another factory, only mentioning that the fleet on the road will run for a long time.
Sales have not met his original expectation of 250,000 units annually. Some data shows that about 20,237 units were sold in the U.S. last year, about 48% less than the 38,965 units expected in 2024. The market interprets this production line handover more as a shift of capacity toward autonomous taxis.
Thursday's sell-off was triggered by concerns after the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, where Democrats took both houses of Congress, raising worries that the timeline for autonomous driving regulations might be delayed and that potential mergers are less optimistic than before. On Friday, the company itself announced production increase plans, and after the oversell, buyers returned somewhat. In the short term, I am bullish on this repair rally.
#美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% #軟銀重金押註OpenAI，Q2財報能否交出亮眼成績？ According to current market analysis and financial report performance, SoftBank Group's fiscal year 2026 Q2 financial report shows "book profit exceeding expectations, but structural differentiation and high risk."
Here are the key highlights and analysis points:
1. Financial data and highlights
Net profit far exceeds expectations: SoftBank's Q2 net profit reached ¥347.3 billion, significantly better than the market expectation of ¥166 billion.
Main profit source is not AI core business: The key to supporting this quarter's impressive book profit mainly comes from a one-time revaluation gain of about ¥1.3 trillion from Intel shareholdings.
Vision Fund performance is weak: The Vision Fund's pre-tax profit was only about ¥5.427 billion (a year-on-year plunge of 98.8%), indicating that most AI-related investment projects' operations and cash flow returns have not yet fully materialized.
OpenAI investment status: Although SoftBank has significant book unrealized gains (valuation uplift) on OpenAI, the large profits in this quarter's financial report are not from direct profit distribution by OpenAI itself.
2. Key impacts and risks of "heavy bet on OpenAI"
"Book wealth" attribute is strong: This quarter's profit heavily relies on non-recurring asset revaluation rather than stable operating cash flow.
Continued pressure on capital investment: Heavy bet on OpCan the $SPY rebound on Friday indicate the end of selling pressure in the market?
The S&P 500 rose about 0.3% on Friday but still fell about 2.7% for the week. The rebound was not enough to offset the previous correction, so next we need to see if buying interest can spread. If the equal-weighted performance improves and both cyclical and defensive sectors stabilize simultaneously, the recovery will be more stable. If only a few heavyweights rise while the decline spreads to other sectors, the outlook remains cautious.NFT sold for 220,000, then immediately put into the contract

#$ZEC Combining the contract data provided by $BTC with the current market information, directly going heavy long now carries extremely high risk. A more prudent strategy is to wait for a breakout above key resistance levels before entering on the right side with the trend. The current market is in a phase of "low volume sideways movement and bullish complacency," making direct long positions likely to become "fuel" for liquidations.
📊 Current core data interpretation: funding rate is neutral to slightly bullish — the position-weighted funding rate is about 0.0087%, overall in a neutral range. However, the rate has not reset despite price declines, indicating bulls are still paying to hold positions, and the market sentiment remains "complacent" without signs of panic liquidation.
· High open interest: open interest remains high at $2.628 billion, with significant divergence between bulls and bears, but price has not broken through, indicating heavy leverage funds are competing, which can easily trigger violent fluctuations.
· Bull-bear ratio not directly shown: the "long-short account ratio" at the bottom of the screenshot needs specific confirmation, but if it shows a very high proportion of long accounts, it is often a contrarian indicator and should be watched carefully.
⚠️ Key risks and strong resistance above price: strong resistance at 77,419 (50-EMA) and $79,913 (upper Bollinger Band). Before a volume breakout above $76,500, the space for going long is limited.
· Downside liquidation risk: if price falls below $72,476, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major exchanges will reach $515 million. Although the current price is $75,915, it is not far from the liquidation concentration zone, and a dip could easily trigger a chain reaction of liquidations.Unlike $CORZ mentioned earlier, IREN $IREN is taking the AI cloud service route, not just simple cabinet leasing.
$IREN closed at $21.64 on Friday, soaring 20.02%, nearly recovering the 16.95% drop on Thursday. On Thursday, it followed the AI and data center sectors in a collective sell-off, hitting a low of $17.16, approaching a one-year low. The trigger was also market concerns about a slowdown in data center expansion after the midterm elections.
The Q3 report shows a rapid business shift: total revenue was $228 million, up 66% quarter-over-quarter; AI cloud revenue surged from $71 million to $200 million, a quarter-over-quarter increase of 182%; mining revenue shrank to $28 million, accounting for only 12% of total revenue.
Unlike CORZ, which directly exited mining, IREN has not announced shutting down mining but is fully focusing on AI cloud. However, it postponed its annual revenue target of $4 billion from the end of this year to January next year, possibly as late as the end of February, citing customer solution adjustments and supply delays.
In the short term, Thursday’s drop was an emotional panic sell, with funds flowing back on Friday to recover. In the short term, I am bullish on this rebound. #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4% In summary, the current market condition still looks more like a leverage cooldown rather than the market having re-entered a bull market rhythm. At least let's wait and see what next week's CPI says.
Today, the funding rates for BTC and ETH remain overall neutral, which is a relatively healthy signal for the market. But a reminder to all friends, this only means that leverage sentiment hasn't gone to extremes for now; it doesn't mean the trend has reversed. If spot buying doesn't keep up, prices may still continue to consolidate or move down to seek liquidity. So, has the buying kept up or not? Let's take a look:
BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of $1.28 billion last week, the worst week since the end of June. More importantly, this week alone turned the year's account negative. On Monday, year-to-date net inflow was still $368 million, but by Saturday it had become a net outflow of $914.1 million. The speed of institutional withdrawal can already be described as embarrassing.
ETH is even worse, with ETFs seeing a net outflow of $365.3 million last week, marking the sixth consecutive week of net outflows, totaling about $2.02 billion over six weeks. If BTC accelerated suddenly this week, ETH has been bleeding out continuously for six weeks, and this slow hemorrhage is probably harder to endure.
You can check your BTC and ETH open orders in your positions to confirm whether your stop-loss levels meet your own risk tolerance standards.
$BTC $ETH $SOL The current crypto market is stuck in a "can't fall deeply, can't rise strongly" deadlock. $BTC is repeatedly tugging between $76,000 and $78,000, while $ETH is consolidating narrowly between $2,250 and $2,350. In October, both fell about 7.3% and over 13% respectively, with market activity sharply shrinking.
The core issue of the sideways movement lies in the capital structure: both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs have seen net outflows, with Ethereum experiencing a considerable monthly hemorrhage, and institutional demand tactically contracting. More subtly, the total open interest in the market has dropped to a 12-month low, leverage has basically been cleared, yet the perpetual funding rate remains positive—longs are still stubbornly paying fees, unwilling to admit defeat.
The market is very likely not to break out unilaterally but to first bottom out and then diverge. Some institutions expect Bitcoin to still potentially challenge $90,000 by year-end, but the premise is to first complete the final shakeout; Ethereum, meanwhile, will continue to underperform Bitcoin due to value being siphoned off by Layer 2 solutions. The real signal for a reversal is when the funding rate turns negative, which would mean longs have completely conceded and the bottom is established. Until then, any rebound is merely a recovery, not a reversal.
On the macro front, the US non-farm payrolls in October exceeded expectations, and bets on a rate hike in December have intensified, adding further shadows to market liquidity. Polygon is discussing using a one-time hard fork to zero out approximately 70.49 million stolen native POL tokens from five already frozen attacker addresses and transfer them into verified recovery wallets.
About 46.63 million correspond to the Binance incident, and about 23.86 million correspond to Polymarket; based on the spot price cited in the proposal on October 29, this is roughly equivalent to 6.5 million USD, subject to price fluctuations. The total supply remains unchanged. Previously, block producers blocked transfers by filtering transactions, and Tether separately froze the same case's USDT—this proposal only concerns native POL.
After the governance meeting on November 5, internal planning will begin; the activation height, client release, and mainnet launch date have not yet been finalized. Even when recovery wallets are set up, it does not mean ordinary users have already received compensation.
Why this matters: This is a case study on whether governance can be used to modify balances after a public theft; the case is not closed.
Confidence level: Medium | Forum proposal and media restatements (Polygon Community Forum / crypto.news / TokenPost), based on the proposal text. Are you more focused on whether this precedent will be set, or waiting for the activation height to be announced first? $POL #I have always had a simple understanding: the more ETH is burned, the less remains, so shouldn't it be more valuable?
But then Vitalik himself came out and said it's not that simple. To support a $270 billion market by burning transaction fees, 700,000 ETH would need to be spent on development annually, and this money comes directly out of the validators' pockets, cutting their income by two-thirds.
What's even more ironic is that to keep the burn rate high, Gas fees have to be raised. When Gas fees go up, ordinary people can't afford to use it anymore. So the end of the deflation narrative is essentially pushing users away.

The Democratic Party will continuously target projects related to the Republican Party and Trump. It's not that they are bad, but these projects have funded Trump and the Republicans, not the Democrats. If the funding shifts to the Democrats, the issue could be resolved.
Think about how Gensler handled crypto projects when he was SEC chairman. Of course, Bitcoin wasn't much affected.
Trump and WLFI: Trump Coin was initially popular, WLFI is just a money grab. I've always warned everyone not to buy these two coins. Sun Gu also invested in WLFI, which will likely be liquidated together, directly impacting the token TRX.
XRP funded the Republicans to push the Clear Act.

He first provided a reference point. To support an ETH market cap of about $270 billion through burning, Ethereum would be equivalent to a company ranked around 55th globally by market cap, with a size comparable to L'Oréal. L'Oréal invests about 0.58% of its market cap annually in R&D; if Ethereum followed this ratio, it would need to allocate about 700,000 ETH from the protocol each year.
This money doesn't come from nowhere; the only source is the validators. According to his estimate, validators' income would decrease by about two-thirds as a result. In other words, the more aggressive the burning, the more the actual returns of stakers are drained—this is an implicit tax on the staking community.
The second layer is even more troublesome. To optimize fee burning, the most direct method is to push gas prices higher, at the cost of some users being completely priced out. He made it very clear: a pricing model that maximizes "price times usage" results in less usage than one that "maximizes usage within safe resource limits." It looks good on the short-term books but undermines the foundation in the long run.
So he concluded: to maintain competitiveness on this path long-term requires highly interventionist governance, which inherently conflicts with decentralization and resistance to capture.
What’s truly worth pondering is the unsaid last sentence: if the protocol shouldn’t pay these 700,000 ETH, then who exactly should foot Ethereum’s R&D bill?Spot ETFs have seen a net outflow of about $416 million this year, a figure more striking than any narrative of "institutional long-term bullishness." $BTC is currently struggling repeatedly around 75,700, with each rebound seeming to hand a ladder to exiting funds rather than paving the way for bulls. The causal chain is actually very clear: non-farm payroll data exceeded expectations, December rate cut expectations were dashed, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields rose in tandem, and after recalculating, Wall Street institutions found crypto assets no longer cheap and chose to retreat. The ETF, the most important incremental funding channel this year, was directly cut off, and major coins immediately lost support. What is even more worrisome is that the U.S. tech sector itself is also adjusting, with overall risk appetite contracting, making $BTC's rebound strength appear unusually weak. One point the market tends to underestimate is that ETF outflows are not isolated events but a chain reaction of the "rate cut trade" retreating. When macro liquidity expectations shift, institutions won't stay out of faith but will leave due to cost. This means rebounds are more likely used to reduce positions rather than confirm a reversal. The real signal is not in the price itself but whether extreme panic positions have been fully liquidated—that is the sign of emotional clearing. Structurally, $BTC faces a clear resistance zone between 76,500 and 77,000; if a long upper shadow appears on the 15-minute chart, it indicates selling pressure still dominates, supporting a short-term bearish bias. Stop loss reference is 77,600, with support levels at 75,000 and 74,000 below. $ETH is highly correlated with $BTC and is similarly constrained byWeekend Review: 225,000 People Liquidated, Have the Whales Had Their Fill?
The crypto market did only one thing over the weekend: crushed the bulls.
In 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $812 million, with long positions liquidated at $668 million and shorts only $144 million, sweeping out 225,000 traders. Over 80% of Ethereum longs were liquidated; this is not a correction, it's a one-sided massacre.
$BTC flashed down from 81,000 to 75,200, then was pulled back above 76,000. The 75,000–75,400 range is a dense liquidation zone for longs, and the rebound started exactly here; the 76,800–77,200 range is the first liquidation zone for shorts.
What’s unusual: despite so many longs being liquidated, the funding rate didn’t turn negative, and Binance’s long-short account ratio actually rose to 2.16. Those liquidated were high-leverage gamblers, not the fundamental bullish logic.
$ETH is still bleeding, with a net outflow of $1.28 billion in November. A dormant whale withdrew 3,009 BTC between 75,000–76,000, about $228 million, but only replenished half of the previously sold volume—this is a buyback, not new capital.
Conclusion: Leveraged longs have been cleaned out once; spot buyers are stepping in, but institutions are still withdrawing. Holding 75,000 is a recovery; breaking below leads to the next stop at 74,500–74,800.
Were you among those liquidated over the weekend, or waiting below to buy the dip? #美军扩大对伊朗封锁，霍尔木兹重开仍存分歧 #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 $CRCL stablecoin popularity is rising, ETF funds continue to flee, and BTC is still in the bottoming phase.
Circle's Q3 revenue reached 865 million USD, USDC on-chain transaction volume increased nearly 50% year-on-year, and on-exchange stablecoin liquidity looks ample. But this heat has not transmitted to BTC: currently consolidating around 75980, range 74890–76380, with low volume, funding rates close to zero, and quiet weekend trading.
The core contradiction lies here: USDC volume expansion does not equal capital entering to buy BTC. On November 6, US stock BTC spot ETFs saw a net outflow of 412 million, with BlackRock IBIT alone outflowing 403 million, marking two consecutive days of withdrawals.
Continuing with the range trading approach: support at 74890–75500, first resistance at 76380. Do not chase highs before breaking resistance; if it falls below 74890, prioritize reducing positions to hedge risk, with a short-term rebound target at 76800.

Over a longer period, central banks' continuous gold accumulation, geopolitical risks, global economy, and debt vulnerabilities still provide fundamental long-term support for gold prices.
The biggest short-term pressure comes from strong U.S. employment data, which has led the market to raise expectations for the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates, pushing up the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, thereby squeezing gold's valuation space. On the funding side, in Q3 global central banks net purchased 321 tons of gold, a year-on-year increase of 42%, while gold ETFs saw a net inflow of 211 tons during the same period, showing solid official and institutional allocation intentions; however, rising gold prices suppress physical demand such as jewelry.
In summary: the long-term support foundation remains intact, but short-term is constrained by interest rate expectations. Going forward, key focus will be on U.S. inflation, Federal Reserve statements, dollar strength, and central bank gold purchasing pace #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 $SOXL $SOXL is experiencing a rare event not seen in nine years: the forward PE has been halved to 17, with valuation now below the broader market, and the bubble has been thoroughly squeezed out.

Looking at $GOOGL, the slowdown in data center expansion is a heavy blow to the chip sector; however, for the giant itself, reduced spending actually benefits cash flow.

At 20:00, only 540,000 contracts in these eight minutes; after the surge, no one followed up, and the price slid back to 1278.96, with MA20 at 1260.5 still 17 points below.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) This capital flow statement seems to be missing a page.
Some media quoted SoSoValue: The 12 US spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively saw a net outflow of about $1.28 billion last week, marking the second consecutive week of outflows, ranking as the 7th largest weekly outflow since listing; year-to-date funds have flipped from a net inflow of about $368 million to a net outflow of about $914.1 million. The spot Ethereum ETFs also had a net outflow of about $365.3 million last week, marking six consecutive weeks of bleeding.
But on the OKX spot side, BTC is currently priced at 75,979.7, with a 24h change of only -0.02% and a volatility of 0.60%; ETH is currently priced at 2,240.45, with a 24h change of -0.21% and a volatility of 1.14%.
So I’m not buying the translation that "institutions are exiting, so the market should immediately crash." The redemption statement looks ugly, but the spot market hasn’t played it out as a new storyline. Is the pressure already absorbed by the price during the week, or has the market reaction not yet arrived?

$SNDK Three short positions have cumulatively collected 12.53 million U in funding fees, but the real risk lies in the cross margin mode
The three short positions on BTC, ETH, and SOL use 5 to 7 times leverage, with a nominal position totaling about 420 million U. Currently, the unrealized profit is about 9.97 million U, and the cumulative funding fee income is about 12.53 million U. The funding fee income even exceeds the book unrealized profit, indicating that the strategy's profit source is not just directional judgment but also relies on the cash flow obtained from continuous holding.
However, this does not mean one can be complacent. Low leverage can only reduce the impact of price fluctuations on margin but cannot eliminate the risk of trend reversal. Especially in cross margin mode, the account margin may be interconnected with other positions; once BTC, ETH, and SOL rebound simultaneously, unrealized profits may be given back, margin pressure and funding fee changes may occur simultaneously.
A truly mature funding fee strategy looks not at how much was collected today, but whether it can survive extreme market conditions. Funding fees are a source of income, not risk insurance. $BTC #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 When I look at the crypto prediction markets, I always feel that options like “the big coin suddenly surges to an absurd price” tend to be overpriced. Normally, when buying coins, people complain about high valuations, but here, seeing the potential returns is tempting, so they start finding reasons to believe in miracles. Odds are created by money being pushed in, mixed with emotions, and can’t be taken as true probabilities. Low-probability stories are easy to tell, but not many are willing to pay to bet against them. From a business perspective, it’s somewhat like paying a premium for imagination. Ironically, I myself can’t help but take a closer look at these scenarios—they really know how to do business.Oil prices fell more than 16% in a week, the reason being the US midterm elections. The Democrats took both chambers, and Vice President Pence openly blamed the defeat on the war with Iran, so the market assumed the war wouldn't continue. On Friday, Brent was still above $97, and WTI was around $90.
There was no cooling down in the Gulf. After the elections, several oil tankers near Oman were attacked, resulting in one crew member's death. On Saturday night, the US Central Command said it intercepted a tanker flying the St. Kitts flag that had visited Iranian ports. Iranian state media reported explosions on Qeshm Island and Jask Port in the Strait of Hormuz, but CNBC could not verify this. A third aircraft carrier strike group is heading there.
On Thursday, Trump said he would soon decide whether to strike again, saying, "We are already loaded," and on Friday he spoke with the Emir of Qatar. Iran submitted a nuclear proposal via Qatar but wants the US to meet its conditions first. Rapidan estimates an 80% chance of renewed conflict, and CEO McNally said once fighting starts, oil prices will return above $100.
Congress can't be relied on; the Democrats won't be sworn in until January, and even if the War Powers Resolution passes, Trump can veto it. RBC's Croft is watching the budget, which expires on December 11.
This 16% drop is the market pricing in a ceasefire expectation early, but the risks remain high. Tuesday's CPI is already expected to be pulled down by gasoline prices, but if fighting breaks out, November's numbers are uncertain, and a rate hike in December is inevitable. WTI at $90 is a threshold; if it holds, it means the market is still betting on both sides, but if it falls below, it means the market truly believes in a peace deal. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #美股暴跌后科技股反弹，纳指周线仍跌约3.4%
On October 19, 1987, "Black Monday," the S&P 500 index plummeted 20.47% in a single day, not only an unprecedented record in modern financial history but also a regulatory milestone that effectively sealed off the possibility of the U.S. stock market experiencing another "single-day drop exceeding 20%" in the future.
Why did it fall more than 20% in 1987?
The 1987 crash was not due to fundamentals collapsing overnight but was triggered by the liquidity deadlock caused by the then-emerging "portfolio insurance" and early program trading on Wall Street. The computer models at the time set mechanical stop-loss logic: the market falls ➡️ automatic selling of stock index futures for hedging ➡️ futures discount triggers arbitrageurs to sell spot stocks ➡️ spot market continues to plunge, triggering more computer selling. Without any physical brakes, automated programs drained all the market's buying liquidity.
Learning from the 1987 lesson, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced circuit breakers in 1988 and revised them in 2013 to the current three-tier thresholds based on the S&P 500 index:
Level 1 circuit breaker (7% drop): trading halts for 15 minutes during the session
Level 2 circuit breaker (13% drop): trading halts again for 15 minutes during the session
Level 3 circuit breaker (20% drop): whenever triggered, the entire U.S. stock market closes for the rest of the day. Therefore, under current rules, unless there is an extremely rare opening gap down exceeding 20%, 20% is the institutional physical limit for a single-day drop in the U.S. stock market In the past two years, leading Bitcoin mining companies in North America have collectively scaled back their mining operations. The essence is not that the industry is failing, but that the computing power track has completely shifted focus: traditional Bitcoin mining profits are thin and volatile, while AI computing power hosting demand is booming with more stable cash flow!
Core Scientific ($CORZ) is a veteran leading publicly listed Bitcoin mining company in North America, holding mature data centers, power, and cooling infrastructure. It is the core target for mining companies transitioning to AI computing power in this round.
The latest Q3 financial report clearly shows signals of a complete transformation: the company’s self-operated Bitcoin mining business continues to shrink significantly, with mining revenue and the number of online miners nearly halved compared to last year; in contrast, the computing power hosting business is exploding, with single-quarter hosting revenue soaring nearly 60% quarter-over-quarter, already becoming the company’s absolute core revenue, while traditional mining business accounts for only single-digit percentages.
Because the track value has completely switched, the company officially announced: it will completely shut down all Bitcoin mining operations by the end of this year, finishing in Q4, and will fully focus on high-density AI computing power cabinet hosting next year. Currently, the company has locked in 1.1 gigawatts of long-term hosting contracts, which, once fully operational and billed, can bring stable annual revenue of $1.8 billion. The business model shifts from highly volatile mining to stable computing power leasing, a must-have for institutions.
On Thursday, dragged down by the AI crash, the stock fell 10%, but on Friday, with funds flowing back into the tech sector, $CORZ rebounded 3.34% to close at $11.76. With mining business fully cleared and financial report structure thoroughly optimized, the company’s valuation will be re-evaluated. I remain bullish in the short term.After the neighboring exchange's coin theft incident, assets were gradually reopened for withdrawal in batches, except for HYPE, which was delayed repeatedly and forcibly locked for eight days, only recently announcing an expected resumption next week. How much impact has the prolonged withdrawal blockage had on liquidity?
$HYPE is undoubtedly the hardest hit; it can be sold during trading, but the funds cannot be withdrawn, forcing on-exchange sell-offs that directly cut off more than half of the liquidity. Hyperliquid's TVL dropped 8.6% in a week, and the price repeatedly bottomed around 77.65. Although the FBI confirmed that the North Korean TraderTraitor was responsible and most assets have been recovered, it is an independent L1 native token, making security audits more complicated. Additionally, the code name confusion led many to mistakenly believe it had already resumed. Even with expectations of relisting, the liquidity damage is evident, making a major rebound unlikely in the short term.
$BNB is the smoothest to recover among the three platform tokens. Binance is also supplementing PoR data, gradually restoring market trust. It is currently holding support around 695, and as long as 700 is not broken, I am temporarily bullish on its stabilization.
$OKB needs no further comment—stable in one word. Among the platform tokens, it has an independent market with minimal impact; you can always trust it!
Freezing for one day versus a full eight days represents two completely different concepts in liquidity pricing. After this incident, if an exchange suspends withdrawals again, would you still dare to heavily bet on a single coin?The hottest gainer tonight is $JCT (Janction). According to CoinGecko data (Nov 8, 20:05 Beijing time): current price about $0.00977, 24h increase about 254%, 7-day increase about 94%, 24h trading volume about 160 million USD, exceeding the market cap of about 112 million USD; around 19:48 it just hit a new all-time high of about $0.01066.
Janction is a decentralized GPU computing power network incubated by Jasmy, riding on the AI + DePIN narrative, but this surge lacks corresponding product or partnership news, mostly driven by sentiment and capital.
My view: trading volume exceeding market cap indicates very fast turnover, mostly short-term funds in the market. On November 10, about 1.18 billion JCT will be unlocked, about 2.4% of the total supply, close to 10% of the market cap at the current price. After the price surge, the unlock follows immediately; whether the chips can be absorbed will become clear in the next two days. I will watch the volume and price around the unlock and will not chase near the new high. A piece of news overshadowed by the market, which I think is more worth pondering than the $full-screen "AI bubble burst": Apple announced progress on its robot brain, directly calling Alibaba's Qianwen model, validated on the Unitree G1, with an average success rate of 91% on individual tasks.
Why is the market panicking this week? Because the money invested in data centers can't be recovered, because of Microsoft's order cancellations, and because of financing chain squeezes. But this news is about something else: the part of AI that can truly be implemented and work is still moving forward.
This is also what I've been saying all along — this round of deleveraging is killing capital expenditures that were wasted, not AI itself. Bubble and trend are always two different things. When you short, can you tell exactly which one you're shorting? $BTC $ETH $UNITREE $BTC $ETH Weekend Review: 225,000 People Got Wiped Out, Have the Main Players Had Their Fill?
The crypto market did only one thing over the weekend: crushed the bulls.
In 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $812 million, with long positions liquidated at $668 million and shorts only $144 million, wiping out 225,000 traders. Over 80% of Ethereum longs were liquidated; this is not a correction, it's a one-sided massacre.
BTC flashed down from 81,000 to 75,200, then was pulled back above 76,000. The 75,000–75,400 range is a dense liquidation zone for longs, and the rebound started exactly from here; the 76,800–77,200 range is the first short liquidation zone.
What’s unusual: despite so many longs being liquidated, the funding rate didn’t turn negative, and Binance’s long-short account ratio actually rose to 2.16. The liquidations hit high-leverage gamblers, not the bullish logic itself.
ETFs are still bleeding, with a net outflow of $1.28 billion in November. A dormant whale withdrew 3,009 BTC between 75,000–76,000, about $228 million, but only replenished half of the previously sold volume, so it’s a refill, not new capital.
Conclusion: leveraged longs were cleaned out in a round, spot buyers stepped in, but institutions are still withdrawing. Holding 75,000 is a recovery; if broken, the next stop is 74,500–74,800.
Were you among those wiped out over the weekend, or waiting below to buy the dip? #美军扩大对伊朗封锁，霍尔木兹重开仍存分歧 #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 AI infrastructure is not a bubble; it is deleveraging
Serenity directly refutes the "AI bubble" claim: storage companies have forward P/E ratios of only 1 to 3 times, HBM manufacturers have signed long-term price floor contracts with cloud providers, and the optical company POET's market value is even lower than its net cash by about $97 million, essentially giving away its operating business. On the other hand, long-term agreements of about $20 billion for Coherent and about $5 billion for Lumentum are still being honored.
The uncomfortable truth is for two types of people: one is those who take high leverage on Neocloud and startups with overpriced private valuations as AI exposure, and the other is those who want to cut positions at the sight of "bubble" headlines. The former's problem is real leverage, the latter's problem is mistaking differentiation for the whole.
What deserves attention is not slogans but financial reports. Serenity characterizes this round as deleveraging by 2026, not demand collapse, so the verification point is straightforward: can the revenue and free cash flow from bottleneck segments be realized.On November 6, the U.S. military carried out a new round of limited strikes against Iran; the next day, the U.S. Central Command announced the establishment of the "Iron Gate" task force. The key word this time is not "strike," but "extension"—the transportation restrictions on sanctioned goods to Iran have expanded from maritime routes to land routes, and even towards the Caspian Sea. Reviewing the past eight months, the outline becomes very clear: · On February 28, the U.S.-Iran war broke out, and Iran effectively blockaded the Strait of Hormuz—before the war, about a quarter of the world's seaborne crude oil and 20% of LNG passed through here · In April, negotiations in Islamabad broke down, and the U.S. Navy turned to blockading Iranian ports, forming a "double blockade" · In June, a ceasefire memorandum was signed but soon became nominal; the blockade resumed in July · On November 2, the U.S. military carried out "defensive strikes" on Qeshm Island and other locations · On November 7, the "Iron Gate" was implemented, turning the blockade from two-dimensional to three-dimensional The true significance of this round of escalation, in my opinion, has three layers. First, the physicalization of sanctions. Past sanctions on Iran relied on the financial system; now military force is directly choking logistics. Maritime blockades can still be circumvented—Lloyd's List recorded at least 26 ships breaking through the blockade line in April—but with the addition of land routes and the Caspian Sea, Iran's evasion space is systemically compressed. Trump claimed in April that the blockade caused Iran a loss of $500 million per day; the figure may not be accurate, but the direction is correct. Second, a typical "dilemma of making the first concession." Trump says Iran wants to negotiate; Iran says the blockade and sanctions must be lifted first. The Qatar and Pakistan-mediated proposal essentially is "stop attacks in exchange for lifting the blockade," with both sides wanting the other to move first.Start a fixed column, reporting only four numbers every day, no predictions, no calls, just 60 seconds to read.

Daily crypto circle #BTC #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温 Nonfarm payrolls release hawkish signals! The global asset pricing logic is changing
U.S. nonfarm payrolls for October increased by 165,000, far exceeding the expected 65,000, with the unemployment rate dropping to 4.1% and average hourly earnings rising 0.4% month-over-month. More notably, the employment data for the previous two months was revised upward by a total of 84,000, with an average monthly increase of about 137,000 over the past three months, showing employment resilience significantly beyond market expectations.
After the data release, the probability of a December rate hike rose from about 67% to 80%, with the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly rising to 4.52% and the 10-year yield to 4.88%. This indicates the market is repricing the duration of high interest rates.
The transmission logic is clear: a stronger dollar and rising financing costs put pressure on growth stock valuations; gold faces upward pressure from rising real interest rates; high-risk assets like BTC may encounter a double hit from liquidity contraction and leveraged fund withdrawals.
However, strong employment does not necessarily mean a rate hike; ultimately, inflation remains the key focus. The next key points to watch are CPI and whether U.S. Treasury yields can continue to rise.
My judgment: short-term risk appetite remains suppressed. The real turning signal is not a single rebound but a resonance formed by a weaker dollar, falling yields, and funds flowing back into risk assets. $BTC #美国10月非农超预期，12月加息押注升温
