The profits from this bull market in A-shares mainly come from valuation premiums.
Now this wave of premiums is being paid back.
- **Iron bottom indicator: The author compares the CSI 300 with secondary bond funds. Once stock returns fall below bonds, it basically signals a major bottom. Currently, there is still a 24.6% gap to this “iron bottom.”
- **Timing determines returns: Buying the CSI 300 in September last year could earn nearly 40%. Buying 20 days later on October 8th leaves only 3%. Even if the direction is right, entering at the wrong time still results in losses.
- **Risk premium is ebbing: The stock market rise in the first half of this year mainly relied on earnings. But valuation contribution has reached a historical peak. This indicates that the previously borrowed sentiment premium is being given back.
- **Historical patterns are harsh: After the last five peaks in premiums, all fell back near the iron bottom. None stopped halfway. This time the highest deviation was 43.5%, almost the same as the 2015 peak.
- **Why the rapid rise: Low starting point, ETF funds aggressively pushing broad gains, plus policies directly raising market risk appetite.
**The premium borrowed during the bull market must eventually be paid back with principal and interest through volatility. Hello everyone, I am Xiuluo Di
In my view, trading earnings reports in the US stock market has long become extremely crowded and competitive, making it very difficult for retail investors to achieve positive EV.
Many traders like to use options to bet on direction before earnings, but when earnings are released, the high IV collapses instantly. Even if the direction is correct, profits are easily eaten up by volatility. Choosing futures to speculate is equally tricky; during earnings, repeated spikes and stop-loss sweeps can easily turn long-term operations into a liquidity source for the main players.
Earnings reports themselves rarely reverse the major trend of a stock. In an uptrend, positive earnings continue the rise, and negative earnings cause only a brief pullback before continuing upward; in a downtrend, good earnings result in just a rebound, while bad earnings lead to continued decline. The two phases of SNDK’s price action are a typical example.
Based on my practical experience, I prefer counter-trend earnings opportunities: in an uptrend, a bad earnings report means a quality point to add positions on the pullback; in a downtrend, a good earnings report means a good shorting window during the rebound.
Rather than betting on the instant volatility of earnings, prioritizing the judgment of the major trend is more important in trading. #SanDisk receives Rosenblatt buy rating, target price $2400 After the "triple hit" of CPI/PPI/interest rate hike expectations, where will the market go? 🤔
After the data was released, short covering drove a rebound of "selling expectations, buying facts" 📈. The PPI surge was mainly pushed by oil prices; core inflation has not spiraled out of control. The market did not immediately price in a rate hike, but rather pushed back the timing of rate cuts ⏳.
The Fed has two rate meetings left this year: October 27–28 and December 8–9 🗓️. In October, the market began to bet on a "possible rate hike" due to sticky CPI, but the probability of it happening is low, so maintaining the status quo is more reasonable; if a rate hike does occur, it will disrupt events around November 3 ⚠️. However, even without a rate hike, as long as the tone is hawkish and emphasizes higher rates for longer, risk assets will remain under pressure 🧊.
December is the final meeting, with the dot plot and officials' rate path judgments having a greater impact, and there is a high probability of another rate move 📊. The main focus remains on U.S. Treasury yields; the October decision will set the short-term direction for BTC, ETH, and SOL.
In terms of rhythm, I personally lean toward a southward pullback first, then a northward move to test 90,000 🔁:
BTC: 69,590–76,289
ETH: 2,067–2,123
SOL: 86–95
This is just a personal view, not investment advice; the market is highly volatile, and profits and losses are your own responsibility 🙏#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus $SOL is bearish, current price 102.74, next step will test below 101.16. In the past 24 hours, the main liquidations were longs, $3.74 million, while shorts were only $2.08 million. The price is moving down, but the forced liquidations are mostly from long positions betting on a rise. This drop mainly squeezed out the old long leverage, with no sign of new funds stepping in below. The trading volume is 800 million, still less than the 900 million open interest, turnover is relatively weak, no one is willing to add on the rebound, which matches the volume contraction shown on the chart during the rebound. Shorts also liquidated 358 times, the spike to 105.24 wiped out short chasers, but the price failed to hold and fell back near the previous low. Both longs and shorts have been shaken out once, the remaining longs are not fully cleared yet. If the previous low breaks, stop losses and forced liquidations will overlap, amplifying the decline. The fee rate has been fluctuating around zero, just background information. Condition to turn bullish: retake and hold above 105.24, with the upper resistance broken, then this bearish judgment will be invalid.Strive priced its SATS preferred shares at $90, planning to raise $630 million, with part of the funds used to increase Bitcoin holdings. Following Strategy, this is another U.S. listed Bitcoin treasury company raising funds through issuing preferred shares to accumulate coins.
My view: Institutional financing to buy BTC is a medium- to long-term fundamental positive, but it carries hidden risks. SATS comes with a 15% high dividend, essentially leveraging to accumulate coins. If Bitcoin continues to drop sharply, the company's dividend pressure will quickly intensify. This news signals long-term capital but does not mean an immediate short-term rally; a bullish spike followed by a pullback is common.
Contract strategy: Do not chase longs directly. These companies buy coins in batches, and there is a time lag for funds to settle. For short-term operations, prioritize watching ETF funds and BTC key support levels. If you want to try going long, wait for buying pressure to return and hold above resistance; when the market is weak, bullish rebounds are opportunities to reduce positions. Always use stop-loss orders and strictly control leverage.ETH does not have a unified “whale standard”; thresholds vary across different platforms, and it is distinguished from BTC (≥1000 BTC) criteria: The two most commonly used classifications in the community (Santiment / Glassnode) 1. Super Whales: ≥100,000 ETH Very few addresses, ranging from several dozen to over sixty. ⚠️ The majority here are: Beacon Chain staking contracts, exchange custody wallets, ETF custody addresses; genuine individual whales are very rare. 2. Standard Whales: ≥10,000 ETH (the tier most closely watched) Approximately 800 to 1100 addresses; this tier represents the whales commonly referred to who actively trade and influence the market, including funds, large holders, and institutional self-custody wallets. 3. Large Holders/Sharks: ≥1,000 ETH This tier has many more addresses, numbering in the thousands, including many mid-sized funds, staking service providers, and DeFi treasuries. The most important misconception (same as BTC) Address ≠ real independent person - Beacon Chain deposit contracts, Lido, Coinbase staking pools, and major exchange cold wallets are all counted as whale addresses; - One whale can split assets into dozens of wallets; one wallet can hold tens of thousands of retail investors’ funds (custody). Therefore, on-chain data can only count wallet addresses and cannot accurately determine how many real independent “people” are whales. A simple comparison with the BTC you just asked about - BTC whale standard: ≥1000 BTC,Using 100u for fully automated $ETH trading, Day 59 (07:55)｜Grinding all day, one candle pierced through
The main battlefield drawn yesterday saw the price crawling inside all day. Only at midnight did a big bearish candle slam down to 2355, 1 point below that 2356 level.
Between 5 AM and 6 AM, volume was the highest in the entire window, accounting for one-fifth. The 15-minute bandwidth was still 15 points yesterday morning but expanded to 61 points today, signaling a pending breakout, with the direction downward. The 4-hour candle just turned positive yesterday but almost returned to zero today.
Positions retreated by 3%, but the trader stayed put. Around midnight, 70% of accounts were long, 5 points more than yesterday, with big players adding longs for the fourth time. During that midnight drop, 90% of the liquidated positions were longs. The next funding rate is only one-third left, with buy orders 30,000 less than sell orders.
🤖 Not much action, no room during the day, some short positions closed around 2410 at night, just before the crash started. Long positions were picked up between 2369 and 2387 after the crash began. Unfortunately, the overall market is bearish now.
That 2356 level, like before, has become a strong iron bottom for back-and-forth testing, which is good. If it really breaks, it might plunge all the way down to 2150.The whole network is shouting about long positions getting liquidated, but the real bulk of liquidations are shorts!
There's a counterintuitive detail in this morning's liquidation data:
In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw $183 million liquidated, with $107 million from shorts and only $75.93 million from longs.
This morning when BTC dropped to 81,000 and ETH fell below 2,400, there was indeed $115 million in long liquidations within one hour, but stretching the timeframe to 24 hours, the cumulative short liquidations were actually higher.
What does this mean? Both longs and shorts are being cleaned out, but the shorts are not benefiting. With thin liquidity over the weekend, every seemingly "breakdown" drop is baiting shorts to chase in, only to be swept out by a rebound.
Regarding ZEC, there's a key calendar event: the NU7 mainnet decision on October 20. Paradigm's Matt Huang just revealed an investment in ZEC, calling it "a privacy complement to Bitcoin." But ZEC has already fallen back from 1,338, so both longs and shorts will be cautious before the event.
My positions: still holding ZEC shorts, still holding BTC longs. CL is unmoved...
Short liquidations have exceeded longs—did this reverse liquidation sweep catch you?

#机构资金持续流出，BTC能否企稳？ Dogecoin (DOGE) Whale (Mega Whale) Classification Standards (Market Common Criteria) - 🐬 Dolphin: 1 million to 10 million DOGE - 🦈 Shark: 10 million to 100 million DOGE - 🐳 Whale: ≥100 million DOGE (can significantly influence the market) - 🦑 Super Mega Whale: ≥1 billion DOGE (institutional/exchange level) Quantity and Chip Situation According to Santiment statistics: there are about 140 wallets holding ≥100 million DOGE, these addresses collectively hold over 108 billion DOGE, with chip concentration far higher than BTC and ETH. Key Big Pitfall: The top on-chain rich list is not a single whale, but Robinhood's custody cold wallet (about 27.2 billion DOGE, nearly 17.5% of circulating supply), which contains coins from hundreds of thousands of retail investors, not one person; second is Upbit, third is Binance, both are exchange custody wallets, representing user asset custody, not private mega whales. The legendary super address that once held nearly 30% of DOGE was split by the end of 2021 and is no longer a single large holder. Characteristics (Compared to BTC/ETH Whales) 1. DOGE is a meme coin with thinner liquidity; a large private whale's big transfer or dump causes much more violent market fluctuations than BTC or ETH, easily triggering panic and chain liquidations. 2. High chip concentration: the top 10 addresses together account for the circulating supplyWhen that ETH line crashed down, 2400 didn't hold at all. Within an hour, Binance, Bybit, and OKX combined saw $27.02 million worth of long positions wiped out, while shorts only cleared a few hundred thousand. The price slid from 2424 straight down to 2355, without even a decent rebound. BTC wasn't doing any better, dropping to 81000, with over $115 million in long positions liquidated within sixty minutes. Weekend liquidity is thin to begin with, and when leverage kicks in, it's as fragile as paper.
What's even worse is the ETF side. ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow exceeding $1.4 billion in a single week, breaking both the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, signaling a bearish technical pattern. On-chain, a batch of old addresses holding for 3 to 10 years are selling at the fastest pace since 2021. On the macro front, CPI at 3.7% exceeded expectations, and the 10-year Treasury yield surged to 5.26%. With money this expensive, assets that don't generate cash flow naturally get hit first.
But interestingly, during these days of decline, large addresses have been accumulating in the opposite direction, with several giant whales buying over a billion dollars worth of ETH cumulatively.
The liquidation chart structure is also very fragmented now: if ETH breaks below 2392, there's another $475 million in long liquidations waiting. On the upside, short liquidations at 2618 have a strength of $466 million, but that's a story for later.
At this point, those cutting losses are handing chips over to the ones catching falling knives. I'm not advising to bottom-fish, but weekend leverage sweeps never play by the rules.
Are the long positions in your hands still holding up? Mainstream on-chain analysis (Santiment) defines addresses with ≥1000 BTC as BTC whales (whales) - Latest statistics: 2044 addresses with ≥1000 BTC, holding about 7.17 million BTC in total, accounting for nearly 36% of the circulating supply But! Address ≠ real independent person/institution, this is the easiest pitfall: It includes: exchange cold wallets, ETF custody addresses, platform reserve wallets, not all individual large holders. For example, an exchange may have several such whale addresses, but they actually belong to the same institution. More detailed stratification (another classification standard) - Sharks: 1000–5000 BTC - Whales: 5000–10000 BTC (narrow sense of whale) ≈100 addresses - Humpback whales (super whales): >10000 BTC, fewer than 100 addresses, including MicroStrategy, the US government, early tycoons, large custodians in this category Two key misconceptions 1. It is impossible to accurately know the real "number of whales": one person can control dozens of wallets; one wallet may also hold funds from many users (exchanges), on-chain can only count addresses, cannot distinguish the underlying entities. 2. Different platforms have different thresholds: some media are more lenient and call ≥100 BTC large holders, which increases the number to nearly 20,000 addresses, these should not be confused. Simple one-sentence summary According to the most commonly used standard in the circle 1 U.S. stocks fell on Friday, mainly due to two events hitting at the same time. One was the repricing of debt for AI infrastructure, and the other was the rise in oil prices caused by the Middle East. The market is not trading on "how much longer tech can rise," but rather on whether borrowing money to build data centers can hold up under higher interest rates and higher energy costs. The Dow closed at 52,002 points, down 0.34%; the S&P fell 1.09% to 7,659 points; the Nasdaq dropped 2.15% to 26,140 points. The Nasdaq fell about 4.5% this week, marking its worst week in several months. The VIX jumped close to 20. The most direct news was about CoreWeave. This computing power company endorsed by Nvidia fell about 12% again on Friday, down more than 20% for the week. Its bond yields surged to around 15%, and the cost of credit default swap protection once exceeded 1,100 basis points, with the market starting to view it as a "default risk." The company itself has about $50 billion in debt, relying on borrowing to buy chips and build data centers. Nvidia expressed optimism on Thursday, causing a rebound in its stock price that day, but it still couldn't hold on Friday. This news has brought the financing issues of the entire AI infrastructure sector back to the table. Meanwhile, oil prices are rising. WTI crude rose to around $99, and Brent touched $109.86 intraday, the highest since May. Iran's actions in the Strait of Hormuz continue, and the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia also did not stop this week. The energy sector rose accordingly, but higher oil prices also leave inflationary pressure. Earlier this week, the CPI annual rate was 3.7%, with the core also running hot. On Friday, Walsh was in ManThe sell orders are only slightly more, yet the bulls bear nearly 90% of the liquidations. Which is suffering more, BTC or ETH?
After reviewing this data this morning, I think what deserves more attention now is how fragile the long positions are.
① Buy and sell volumes are close, but bulls are hit harder
In the past 4 hours, active buying was $2.467 billion, active selling was $2.585 billion, with sell orders accounting for 51.17%, a slight advantage.
But during the same period, liquidations were about $225 million, with long positions around $200 million, nearly 89%.
The transaction volume difference is small, but liquidations clearly skew toward the bulls. This decline has hit the endurance limit of many long positions.
② BTC: First see if the support can hold
In the past 4 hours, BTC liquidations were about $15.86 million, with longs accounting for 91.1%.
Liquidations happening doesn’t mean selling pressure is over. I will watch if the subsequent pullback continues to make new lows and whether the rebound can hold. For now, I’m not rushing to treat liquidations as a bottom signal.
③ ETH: Liquidation pressure is more pronounced
In the same period, ETH liquidations were about $61.1 million, roughly 3.9 times that of BTC, with longs accounting for 95.3%.
In this round of liquidations, ETH bulls suffered noticeably more concentrated losses. Going forward, besides watching if ETH can stop falling on its own, we also need to see if ETH can follow when BTC stabilizes, rather than falling deeper at every dip.
For now, I’m leaning cautious. Longs being liquidated is one thing; whether there is sustained buying support is another.#Meta's Massive AI Investment Enters the Payoff Test Period
Meta's AI gamble is entering the realization phase: The more revenue from ads, can it fill the computing power black hole?
After the U.S. stock market closed on October 21, Meta is about to release its Q3 earnings report. Q2 revenue grew 28% year-over-year to $60.8 billion, but free cash flow plummeted 91% to $784 million, with full-year capital expenditure guidance as high as $130 billion to $145 billion. Revenue is racing ahead, but cash is being devoured by investments—this is the real market anxiety.
📈 Advertising Engine: Can AI-optimized recommendations and ad placements continue to boost revenue and ad pricing?
🧠 AI Gamble: New products like Muse bring imagination space, but when will the massive computing power investment convert into sustainable profits?
⚠️ Dual Test: The market is not only watching if revenue can exceed expectations but also whether capital expenditures will continue to rise, if free cash flow can recover, and the impact of legal costs on profits.
The harshest reality of the AI era: technological leadership does not equal investment return leadership.
Do you think Meta is buying the future in advance, or paying too high a price for AI prosperity? See you in the comments!
#Meta #ArtificialIntelligence #USStocks #EarningsSeason #AIInvestment $SNDK is currently stuck at the 1286 line, and the market's pricing logic for it might be reversed. As long as the weekly line does not fall below 1286 this week, the price will enter a 1286~1500 oscillation range — this is not a reversal, but a temporary pause in the bears' momentum. The real watershed is at 1500: if it can't break above, the 1450~1500 range becomes a resistance zone, and any rebound is easily pushed back down, just a corrective move within a downtrend. I lean more towards another scenario: a valid break below 1286 and closing underneath, with the next target pointing directly to the previous low near 972, which currently has a higher probability. The reason is structural, not emotional — the rebound can't even reach the resistance zone, indicating buyers lack the willingness to continue; in this pattern, support is often "tested" rather than "held." In other words, 1286 is not the bottom, but the starting line for the bears to regroup. There is an easily overlooked secondary effect here: the oscillation range itself creates an illusion. The sideways movement between 1286~1500 causes many to misread it as "forming a bottom," but every surge within the range consumes bullish ammunition, and the trapped positions above 1500 have never loosened. The longer the range lasts, the greater the damage when it breaks down — because stop losses will cluster below 1286, triggering a chain reaction once hit. The confirmation signals are very clear: whether the weekly closing price can stably hold above 1286, and whether the rebound can break through 1500 with volume. The former determines if it will oscillate or break down, the latter decides if it is a correction or a reversal. Until both conditions are met simultaneously, any rebound is just feeding chips to the bears A slow decline doesn't mean no one is buying; it means no one is in a hurry to buy.
$BTC slid from 82,816 to 81,602 in one day, with a low of 80,761.
The 80,000 round number was tested again.
What does this price level mean: all three major mainstream coins have declined over 7 days, but daily drops are not large.
In other words, sellers are not in a rush, and buyers aren't either.
Who is placing orders here: $BTC has a 24-hour trading volume of $24.3 billion, $ETH less than $10 billion.
If pushed further down, there will be sellers when prices spike because there are fewer buyers to catch the fall.
$SOL dropped 4.62% over 7 days, with the thinnest order book around the hundred-dollar mark.
Before volume returns, rebounds are likely to spike and then fall back.
Where order books are thin, price moves by one tick don't require much capital.

#$BTC $ETH The Hormuz Strait reignites conflict, but don’t rush to bottom-fish: this wave is "war priced as rate hikes"
Another incident has occurred in the Strait of Hormuz. The second supertanker hit a mine, Iran directly announced the closure of the strait, and armed forces even fired on vessels violating passage rules. As a result, WTI crude surged to $99, and Brent approached $110.
Many thought this was a geopolitical risk-off move, but the logic now is completely different. Essentially, the market has priced the war as rate hikes.
The oil price spike directly pushes up inflation expectations, fueling bets on rate hikes. Barclays has clearly bet on two 25 basis point hikes in December and January next year. The result is a mad rush of funds into gold for safety, with gold hitting new highs, while Bitcoin and risk assets are under pressure.
Adding to this is the deleveraging bloodbath in the US stock AI sector, with the Nasdaq weekly dropping 4.5%. The crypto market is in a low-volume downtrend, Bitcoin is firmly suppressed near $81,400, unable even to hold the Bollinger middle band. Ethereum is leading the decline, directly losing the critical weekly 200-day moving average support.
Before true risk appetite recovers, every rebound is an opportunity to reduce positions, not a bottom-fishing point.
As long as macro pressure is not relieved, any rally could be a bull trap. Protecting principal and enduring this deleveraging pain period is the most important thing to do now.
Discuss in the comments, do you think this oil price shock will force the Fed to be more hawkish? $BZ $CL Why should users bear the risk of exchange deposit addresses? It's time for a change!
For a long time, exchange deposit addresses have been fixed. This seems convenient but actually hides huge risks. Once the address is public, others can track your fund flows through on-chain records. Even more critically, if someone maliciously transfers unknown funds (commonly called "poisoning") to your fixed address, and that money is flagged as illicit, your account could face risk control measures or even be banned. To comply with regulations, platforms often require users to prove their innocence, effectively shifting the security cost onto customers.
Recently, I saw a user share that Bitget actually supports one-click changing of deposit addresses, allowing new addresses to be generated anytime for receiving funds. This truly addresses a pain point that many exchanges have not solved in the past five or six years!
This is a reform that must be supported! Constantly updating deposit addresses can prevent privacy leaks and cut off malicious "poisoning" paths. Users should not have to pay the price for exposure risks caused by fixed addresses.
Preventing problems before they happen is always more effective than freezing and appealing afterward. I call on the entire industry to quickly follow suit and truly return security options and privacy protection to users. This is not just polishing product details but a substantial responsibility for users' assets.
Let's discuss in the comments: Have you ever encountered issues on other platforms because of fixed addresses?#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new highlight allin$ETH Can we bottom-fish over the weekend?!
Last night, Ethereum already cleared out the long positions below, and now the market is starting to enter a recovery phase.
Looking at the chart, although there was heavy selling, the support at 2390 was not effectively broken, and it rebounded back above 2420, indicating that the bulls' base remains solid. This drop was more of an emotional sell-off rather than a trend reversal.
Market liquidity tends to be weaker over the weekend, so the market may continue to oscillate and recover. Pay attention to whether bottom-fishing funds enter tomorrow.
Those who bought at low levels can patiently hold with targets at 2450-2480. Those who haven't entered yet can wait for the market to pull back and stabilize around 2420-2400 before bottom-fishing.
$BTC #Tesla releases new generation Roadster, market rises #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus The most dangerous place for Ethereum right now is not the drop, but "no one stepping in to buy".
Currently, ETH is around $2389, down 1.32% in 24 hours, over 5% in 7 days, and nearly 12% in 14 days. Short-term bears have firmly taken control — EMA15, 30, and 60 moving averages are all pressing down from above, MACD has a death cross below the zero line, Bollinger Bands are sliding from the middle band toward the lower band, and the price is being suppressed.
But the real concern is the underlying structural issue: BitMine holds about 6.03 million ETH, accounting for 4.9% of the circulating supply, and has set a 5% cap for itself — meaning the most stable weekly buying over the past 15 months is about to stop. Meanwhile, the US spot Ethereum ETFs have seen continuous net outflows recently, with institutional funds withdrawing. On one side, the largest buyer is about to stop; on the other, institutions are running away. Who will support the bottom in the short term?
Key levels: resistance zone above at 2420-2450, support zone below at 2340-2365. Breaking below 2340 could accelerate the bears.
In terms of strategy, a rebound to the resistance zone without breaking it is a shorting opportunity; if the support holds steady, a light long position can be tried, but avoid heavy bets on a reversal. Now is not the time to recharge faith, but to wait for signals #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins The slowdown in subscriber growth is a real negative, and ads are just a compensation, not a primary growth driver since they represent only a small portion of revenue. With the continued rise in content and live sports costs, the profit margin will not easily return to 31.5%, and Brazil's tax highlights the risks in emerging markets. Therefore, I do not expect Netflix to exceed expectations this quarter.#TSMCQ3RecordProfit "2718 BTC Exited: ETF Is Siphoning, I'm Bearish and Defensive 🛡️"
ETF withdrew 2718 BTC over five trading days: 2147 in on the 13th, 3144 out on the 14th, 62 back on the 15th, and another 1002 fled on Friday — institutions are exiting faster than retail.
ETH saw 28,600 withdrawn on Friday, all credited to BlackRock; their BTC fund withdrew 873 on Friday.
The three major coins all took hits: SOL was the worst, down 1.5% at 102.78, holdings cut by 3.78%, overnight cost turned negative; ETH dropped 1.41% to 2389, holdings cut by 2.37%, overnight cost highest at 0.0049%; BTC stuck at 81286, down 0.57%, holdings shrank by 1.37%.
In 24 hours, the entire network exploded with 325 million volume, 94,000 people liquidated, longs accounted for 79% — bottom fishing is happening halfway up the mountain.
Three anomalies stand out: ETF keeps siphoning without price collapse, spot market passively hit; holdings shrink faster than price, no one dares to bet on the weekend; top five gainers are all small coins, hot money avoids the big ones.
My current view:
① 2718 BTC exited in five days, big money retreat matters more than price, I won’t catch a falling knife this weekend;
② Leveraged longs are surrendering, until surrender ends, all rebounds are fragile;
③ BTC support at 81000 is still watchable, if broken look at 80000; ETH at 2370, SOL at 102 — wait for break, no chase if no break.
I’m holding my BTC short position, will consider bottom fishing after ETF inflows.A hacker stole money and came to trade crypto, a 40x short position is about to be liquidated
A hacker, after painstakingly stealing money, didn’t launder it or run away, but actually came to the crypto space and opened a 40x short position.
Just saw on-chain an address labeled as "hacker wallet" (0xf15d...bddf). He sold 262 ETH, gathered 640,000 USDC, and directly shorted 305 BTC at 40x leverage on Hyper, with a nominal position size as high as $25.4 million.
The most ridiculous part is his liquidation price: $84,086.
BTC is currently around $84,000. This means that if the price bounces up by just a few dozen dollars, this 40x leverage position will be liquidated on the spot. He used zero-cost stolen funds to leverage a $25 million position, putting the liquidation line right at his nose.
Normally, hackers launder money by mixing coins, cross-chain transfers, or using the dark web. But this guy directly put the stolen money into the contract market and started gambling with the whales.
This is not money laundering; it’s clearly handing himself over to the whales.
He might think BTC can’t rise anymore and wants to use zero-cost funds to bet on high leverage. But the market punishes all kinds of arrogance, especially "smart people" who put their stop-loss line right on their forehead.
My judgment is simple: this position most likely won’t survive tonight. Even if he guesses the direction right, this kind of position management is doomed to lose profits.
What do you think? Can his 40x short hold until BTC drops below 80,000? Discuss in the comments.
The above is compiled from on-chain data and does not constitute any trading advice.
$BTC $ETH Today is the weekend market open, and SanDisk and Hynix are both showing full-screen gains, while shorts are almost clustered in the storage sector. Clearly, with the US stock market closed, why is the market experiencing such an extreme sell-off?
The core reason lies in the superposition of three negative expectations. First is the pinpoint emotional explosion: major short seller Michael Burry publicly questioned the valuation of storage chips and increased his short positions, directly damaging the confidence of the bulls. Second, the two Korean storage giants have recently faced extreme sell-offs; Hynix has pulled back significantly from its highs, and the global storage sector's linkage effect has rapidly spread panic. Finally, China's ChangXin Memory's progress in DRAM technology has triggered deep market concerns about the competitive landscape of storage and future pricing power.
But a careful breakdown of this selling pressure shows that what is really falling is the leveraged sentiment on AI infrastructure, not the rigid demand for storage. The bond yields of some cloud service providers have surged, causing the market to reassess the high costs of AI infrastructure. Storage stocks, which had the largest prior gains and highest crowding, naturally became the first choice for capital clearing. However, fundamentally, the capital expenditures of large cloud providers have not been canceled, and the logic behind rising storage contract prices has not been disproven. This looks more like an extreme deleveraging washout.
My own long position in SanDisk is at 1588, currently deep in the floating loss zone, with significant pressure. Shorts are aggressively pushing over the weekend, betting on continued panic at next week's open. At this point, cutting losses has lost cost-effectiveness; what's left is to see whether contract prices and real demand can correct this extreme emotional sell-off in the upcoming earnings season. $SPCX 从225跌到100再弹回176又掉到144，这过山车坐得我手心冒汗。 你还在用"星舰、火星、AI"给自己打气吗？ 这两天盯盘最直观的感受是，SPCX 的定价锚已经换了。市场现在交易的是 AI 叙事和 Starlink 收入兑现，不再是那个"人类移民火星"的远期故事。所以你会发现一个很别扭的节奏：AI 板块一抖，它跟着软；纳指情绪回暖，它弹得又比 BTC 快。这种高 beta 的联动，说明持有它的人里，有一批是拿它当 AI 敞口在用的。 往下拆一层，有几个被忽略的点。FAA 启动了环境评估，监管调查还在走流程，这类事件短期不改变现金流，但会压估值倍数。10月26日大约7%的股份解锁，是摆在台面上的供给压力，ARK 已经在减仓，聪明钱的动作比新闻更早。换句话说，反弹到176那一段，更像是空头回补和情绪修复，不是新资金进场建仓。 放到 crypto 的镜子里看会更清楚。BTC 这段时间走的是自己的节奏，ETF 和宏观预期撑着，波动收敛；ETH 跟着生态叙事慢慢磨；山寨则是典型的"等风来"，没有增量就横着。SPCX 这种跨市场标的，恰好卡在传统科技和风险偏好之间，它弱的时候，山寨很Brothers and sisters, many people are wondering, with institutional funds continuously withdrawing, can Bitcoin hold the market?
Let's first see through the current situation: the coin price has not experienced a sharp plunge for the time being, but institutional funds are continuously withdrawing from the market, indicating that large funds are gradually reducing their holdings in batches, patiently waiting for a more suitable entry price, with no intention to buy aggressively.
Holding the market does not mean an immediate new high. The key is to continuously observe three signals: whether spot ETF outflows will stop, changes in stablecoin premiums, and whether the existing funds within exchanges can recover.
From a mid-term perspective, as long as market expectations for interest rates do not turn towards easing, BTC is likely to maintain a high-level range-bound oscillation, mainly to clear floating chips rather than to restart a bull market.
Short-term traders should not be misled by intraday spikes; for mid-term positioning, avoid heavy bets on a breakout before the capital flow turns from negative to positive.
In summary, the trading idea is: institutional funds returning and key supports holding firm are the true signs of stabilization. At this stage, patiently wait for confirmation signals and avoid subjectively predicting the bottom.
#特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 $BTC $ETH $ZEC During the adjustment period, focus on defense first, no rush to chase elasticity
In this round of pullback, asset ranking is more important than "who rebounds faster." $BTC fell about 2.9% in a week, nearly flat in the past month, with a shallow decline; its defensive characteristics are more prominent. It can be given higher attention, but this recognition only extends to its resistance to decline and does not yet indicate a new round of rally has started, so there is no need to hastily raise return expectations.
$ETH fell about 4.8% in a week and about 6.6% in a month, still relatively weak. Long-term recognition cannot replace short-term reasons; trading frequency should be reduced to avoid increasing positions while waiting for a catch-up rally. $SOL fell about 7.3% in a week, around $103.7; the hundred-dollar mark does not automatically equal attractiveness. If participating in recovery, control positions according to recovery logic and do not switch to long-term after weakness. RE fell about 11.5% in a week and about 12.6% in a month, weakness unchanged; research can continue, but trading should control positions first; low price does not mean more opportunities.
With Deutsche Bank planning to custody BTC and ETH and institutional funds continuously flowing out, first see who is stable, then who recovers; this is more practical than chasing elasticity.
#US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be more rate hikes this year? #Institutional funds continue to flow out, can BTC stabilize? #Deutsche Bank plans to custody BTC and ETH, accelerating digital asset business 朋友们，早上好，快速梳理盘面与风险。
一、BTC/USDT永续$BTC
宏观压力仍在。CME显示10月28日美联储加息25个基点概率升至24.9%，一周前仅17.7%；美国9月CPI同比3.7%、核心CPI2.6%，均略超预期；10年期美债收益率处于2007年以来最高附近，持续压制风险资产。短线看情绪，关键看美债收益率与加息预期是否继续升温。
二、$SNDK
核心风险有三：一是估值透支，Forward PE约6.5倍看似不高，但股价一年涨超860%，市场对“能否持续超预期”极为敏感；二是竞争压力，中国长鑫存储CXMT在DRAM领域进展，引发市场对亚洲存储厂商长期定价权的担忧；三是回购支撑，董事会已批准140亿美元回购计划，剩余授权充足，股价下跌时或有一定缓冲。关键节点是10月29日新一季财报，重点验证AI存储需求是否持续。
三、$MUBARAK
山寨币没啥好说的，主流涨它就涨，主流跌它大跌？？？节奏跟主流，但波动更极端，别把反弹当趋势。个人看法，不构成投资建议。$BTC 跌穿8万，兄弟们这波仓位还顶得住吗？😮💨
先捋一下这轮“血洗”：不是单纯技术面，核心是美联储预期又收紧了。10月初鲍曼放话年内没必要再调利率，中金也判断未来一年降息概率低，高利率或成常态。翻译一下：便宜钱别想了💸。
盘面很惨：$BTC 破80000，ETH到2300附近，24小时18.5万人爆仓，9.82亿美元，九成多单。插针那下真冒汗😵。山寨更别提，有铁子ZEC+SOXL套一千多刀；还有50倍空ZEC浮盈+1409%没止盈，一根大阳线直接爆。做多做空都难受。
高利率为啥致命？美元资产更香，资金从加密抽走，ETF流入放缓，现货承接不足，价格自然承压。咱们是在跟美联储抢流动性。
我的应对：1️⃣先降杠杆，80000再破清算会更凶，活着第一；2️⃣仓位暂不动，Q4有基本面支撑，回调可能是机会，但等月底FOMC落地再抄；3️⃣少盯5分钟线，多睡觉😴。

#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ 麻吉这组仓位，像三张牌：一张收租，一张熬底，一张踩雷😅
行情先摆着：$BTC砸到79694后被拉回82000附近，8万下方承接变薄；24小时全网爆仓9.29亿美元，多头占7.77亿。$ETH在2450磨底，2600上方空头压着。宏观上PPI、CPI超预期，ETF单日净流出2.61亿美元，追多确实容易挨打📉
① $BTC 空单：40倍全仓，243.96个，开84070。现浮盈约47万U，资金费还收6.84万U。核心不是杠杆猛，是位置高、爆仓价104583远，只要不站回84000，它就是现金流提款机💰
② $ETH 多单：25倍全仓，7223个，开2500.18。浮亏约32万U，加资金费34万多。现价2450附近，回撤约2%，爆仓价1672，保证金70.95万U。麻吉没砍，明显在赌2400-2450是阶段底，扛得住但反弹力不足🤔
③ $HYPE 空单：5倍全仓，26.83万个，开66.24，现价81附近，浮亏418万U。保证金439万U，爆仓价100.6，而历史高点97.98——这空单位置太被动，监管或业务利好一来，一根大阳线就难受🔥 当$BTC在81000美元附近横盘、$ETH守着2400美元时，真正被砸出深坑的其实是上游硬件。SanDisk已回落至1304，三倍杠杆半导体基金SOXL跌到94，距离前低86只差一步，这种相对历史高点的折价，比主流币的温和回调刺眼得多。 市场注意力仍锁在币价本身，却忽略了AI与算力叙事的上游才是本轮情绪的出清口。半导体与存储板块的估值压缩，本质是流动性预期收紧下的被动去杠杆，而非需求崩塌。SOXL从6月高点约300一路滑至94，较峰值缩水约七成，即便对照前一轮高点也回撤40%至50%，这种跌幅已经把悲观预期打得相当充分。 技术面上，存储与半导体两端的超卖状态仍在延续，这构成了一个不对称的观察窗口：一旦流动性边际改善，或补库需求重新抬头，上游存储与半导体的弹性会先于大盘释放。$BTC和$ETH的稳定并不代表风险偏好已修复，资金更可能沿着"跌得够深、预期够低"的方向寻找再定价机会。 我的判断是，当前上游硬件的赔率优于主流币，但胜率取决于政策路径。若紧缩延续，SOXL不排除击穿86前低、进一步下探的可能，因此更合理的做法是轻仓试探性建多，而非一次性押注。真正值得盯的确认信号是成交量能否在超#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins

The most intense scene on-chain today: Garrett Jin closed a $BTC long position of 112 million yesterday, pocketing 8.38 million in profit, then reversed at 85,994 to open 500 short contracts at midnight, pressing down with 43.31 million directly. At the same time, the "die-hard bulls" whale couldn’t hold on, stopped out a long position of 93.82 million, losing 1.689 million, still holding a bunch of 10x long positions on PUMP and FARTCOIN, floating losses hanging there. One is full and turns hostile, the other holds on until breaking point, the whales are tearing themselves apart internally.
Even more bizarre are the ancient addresses. Two wallets dormant for 12 to 13 years transferred 416.69 BTC to the same address at midnight. The original cost was 100,000 USD back then, now worth over 33 million. The old zombies are moving, whether it’s a rotation or selling, no one knows, but smart money is moving while retail is still guessing the bottom.
No good news from the ETF side either. On October 16, net outflow was 82.41 million, with BlackRock IBIT alone running off 71.8 million, accounting for 87%. The macro situation is even more twisted, core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month, beating expectations consecutively, 16 out of 18 Fed officials believe more hikes are needed this year, no one believes in rate cuts, but the market bets on no change in October. Inflation is pressing down hard, yet the market reaches out for candy; the hardest hit are the bulls caught in the middle.
BTC is now around 81,500, with 40.11 million liquidated in 24 hours, longs accounting for 60%.Under the surgical light, the heart's output per beat was recorded at 486,532 times, stronger than expected but 2.1% less than the same period last year—the ECG hasn't stopped, but the perfusion pressure is dropping. The market cheers the delivery volume, but surgeons don't declare recovery just because one ventricular contraction is strong; the year-on-year decline is due to increased end-diastolic pressure, indicating myocardial blood supply is not ample. The real lesion is not in the delivery curve but in the automotive gross margin: the price war is like continuous bleeding, and the better-than-expected deliveries are just fluid replacement, not a hemostat. If the gross margin cannot improve month-over-month, the cash flow extracorporeal circulation machine won't last long; valuation relies on narrative positive inotropic drugs to sustain the heart rate, and once the medication stops, the sympathetic storm will first impact the liquidity of the mapped target. The autonomous driving taxi and robot projects are long-term bypass grafts and cannot replace the current myocardial blood supply; they require verifiable milestones, not optimistic preoperative talks. The third-quarter results must be judged by three vital signs: whether automotive gross margin has stopped falling, whether operating cash flow has restored perfusion, and whether new business progress has formed effective collateral circulation. Delivery volume is just a symptom, gross margin is the lesion, and cash flow is the lifeline; if the gross margin shows no improvement, any better-than-expected delivery only prolongs ischemia time. #teslaq3profitandmargins#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 The market is now more concerned about whether the gross margin and profit margin can be maintained steadily, rather than simply how many cars are sold. If it still relies on price cuts to boost volume and profits continue to be thin, then the outperformance is only a temporary sentiment. The thirty minutes after the close on October 20th were merely the countdown before making a move—the real chessboard was set up thirty-three moves earlier, and Netflix was just the pawn pushed to the center.
Revenue of about 12.86 billion, a year-over-year increase of about 12%, operating margin of 33.2% compared to last year's 28.2%—this is not a financial report, it's a comparison chart of chess pieces. A five percentage point increase in margin is equivalent to turning a hanging pawn on an open file into a passed pawn by force. The question has never been "how strong is this pawn now," but rather "are there any pieces left to stop it before promotion?"
Subscriptions are its old opening system—stable, predictable, but long studied by opponents; the advertising layer is a mid-game opening change, moving from a single closed line to a double open line. The textbook is very clear: those who change openings mid-game must pay a tempo cost. So, suppressing margins in the short term for advertising investment is a standard sacrifice—whether the sacrifice is correct is not judged at the moment of sacrifice, but by whether it can be recovered three moves later. If it can't be recovered, then it's not a sacrifice, it's a free gift of material.
The real battlefield is beyond the chessboard. The linkage of tokenized assets like $xTSLA is a mirrored endgame: on the surface, two companies, two sectors; in reality, two diagonals on the same color squares. Streaming media and tech heavyweight stocks seem like bishops on opposite colors—never meeting—but always jointly supporting the same center. Whose center collapses first, the other diagonal immediately becomes a lone bishop.
The three candidate moves I care about: whether subscription net additions show marginal dulling; whether the unit economics of ad monetization have passed the breakeven inflection point; whether the pace of content amortization has been prematurely overdrawn. Without calculating these three steps, 33.2% is just a pretty number, not a sustainable material advantage.
The intense volatility after hours is the most testing period for endgame technique—those who calculate one move more collect the time of those who calculate one move less. Waiting here is costly: not moving means waiting for the opponent to expose weaknesses in their pawn structure first; moving recklessly means pushing the pawn in front of your king first.
Whoever's pawn structure shows an irreparable weakness first doesn't have to wait for the endgame. #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins Financial Performance: Netflix has shifted from a subscriber growth company to a profit machine. 2025 revenues reached $45.2 billion (+16%), net income $11 billion, and operating margin 29.5%. In 2026, growth slows to 12–14% with revenue forecasts of $50.7–51.7 billion and a target margin of 31.5%.
· Ads are the new growth driver: from $1.5 billion in 2025 to about $3 billion expected in 2026, with a goal of $9 billion by 2030. The ad tier attracts cheaper subscribers butTwo sets of unexpectedly hot readings are like two typhoons simultaneously pressing into the 24-hour warning line, yet no one in the duty room dares to turn the red alert knob.
The producer price index in September surged 6.3% year-on-year and 1.3% month-on-month, with the core item also surpassing the forecast line; the consumer price index rose to 3.7%, even hotter than the consensus value given by the consultation room. According to conventional meteorological logic, this level of dual warm high pressure superposition should have triggered an upgrade response in the policy wind field. But in the consultation speech on October 16, Walsh gave no signal of an October rate hike, only saying he would not predict rate decisions; Daly and Goolsbee also simultaneously advised caution. As soon as the words landed, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in October plummeted from a high level to around 15%, like a strong cold front in the forecast suddenly dissipating before landing, with the subsequent path falling entirely into an uncertainty zone.
This is a textbook inversion layer structure—the surface temperature is soaring, but a warm cap tightly suppresses the upper air, preventing convection. The data side shows a hot low pressure, the policy side is a stable wind field, creating a huge vertical wind shear between the two, with radar echoes full of clutter and the sounding curve bending into a dangerous angle. For the US stock market mapped targets, this is neither clear skies nor heavy rain, but the swirling space before a storm surge: the sea surface looks calm, but the waves are secretly accumulating energy layer by layer.
More troublesome is the conduction chain. The scorching readings on the production side should transmit heat vertically to the consumption side, but the policy warm cap suppresses it, trapping the heat in the lower layers, forming a sultry and stuffy sauna-like pattern. This kind of weather is most easily misjudged as "nothing wrong," because there are no thunderstorm anvils overhead, but the geopotential height has quietly risen.
From a meteorological perspective, the most dangerous period is never the typhoon that has already sounded the alarm, but the time when the barometer is off the scale and warnings are delayed. The timing of the rate hike is pushed into the fog, which means the visibility of the entire risk cycle is reduced to the lowest, and when the wind field restarts, the gust factor will only be greater than initially forecasted. #USCPIAndPPITopForecasts #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ Around 4 a.m., the synchronized crash of tech stocks and $BTC $ETH was not triggered by a single event but was a "risk asset resonant liquidation" ignited by the AI debt crisis and sharply amplified by the high interest rate environment and liquidity exhaustion. This timing coincides with the fragile window where after-hours US stock trading intersects with global market sentiment, making any negative news easily magnified.
Core Fuse: AI Debt Crisis Shifts from "Narrative" to "Reality"
Previously, market concerns about AI were limited to the narrative level of "whether investments can break even," but around October 17, these concerns materialized into concrete credit risk events.
The most direct trigger was AI cloud service provider CoreWeave. Its bond prices plummeted to levels implying about a 60% default probability, with some bond yields soaring above 15%. This completely ignited market panic over the financial health of AI infrastructure companies, as leading cloud providers’ annual capital expenditures approach $1 trillion, heavily reliant on debt financing. When the market saw CoreWeave’s debt on the brink, it began to question whether the "debt-driven growth" model of the entire AI computing power chain was sustainable. Panic quickly spread from CoreWeave to all AI hardware-related stocks like Nvidia, AMD, and Micron.
Amplifier: Oil Price $CL Surge and Rate Hike Expectations Form a "Double Whammy"
The AI debt issue triggered such a severe sell-off because it collided with an extremely unfavorable macro environment, creating dual pressure.
· Oil Price Adding Fuel to the Fire: Brent crude surged near $110/barrel, WTI broke above $101. High oil prices directly pushed up inflation expectations, forcing the market to reprice the Fed’s rate hike path.
· Rate "Davis Double Whammy": Inflation worries heated up rate hike expectations (the market even began expecting a 50 basis point hike in December). Higher rates both lowered the present value of tech stocks’ future cash flows and raised debt financing costs for AI infrastructure construction. This dealt a double blow to AI companies relying on forward earnings and high leverage, squeezing both valuation and profit logic.
🏃 Accelerator: Liquidity Exhaustion and "Multiple Forced Liquidations"
Market liquidity was thin during the early morning hours, with fragile buying support, creating conditions for a "stampede-style" decline. #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切
· Buyers Disappear: Due to prior institutional concentration in tech stocks, when selling began, retail buying weakened, and tech companies’ own stock buybacks also diminished due to tight cash flow. The market lacked sufficient absorption power to handle selling pressure.
· Risk Asset Linkage: Bitcoin and the Nasdaq index are both high-risk assets with strong capital linkage. When the tech stock crash triggered widespread risk aversion, speculative funds simultaneously withdrew from Bitcoin and other crypto assets. Data showed that global digital asset investment products saw a weekly net outflow of $434 million, Bitcoin briefly fell below $81,000, and nearly 80,000 liquidations occurred market-wide within 24 hours. This was not a problem with Bitcoin itself but because it was sold off as a high-beta risk asset amid a liquidity squeeze.
Summary #创作者激励
The 4 a.m. crash was essentially a concentrated outbreak of AI debt credit cracks, a high interest rate environment, and liquidity exhaustion. The AI debt crisis provided the "story," the high interest rate environment provided the "logic," and the early morning liquidity vacuum provided the "stage for the stampede." Bitcoin’s decline reflected its risk asset nature and linkage with tech stocks, not a failure of its own independent narrative. When the market begins to "settle accounts" for AI’s massive investments, all assets relying on future growth and high leverage will undergo a painful value restructuring. BTC holds at 81,000, ETH first drops 1.15%, but ETFs are flowing out
In the OKX snapshot, BTC is quoted at 81403.3 USDT, down only 0.47% in 24 hours, with an intraday high-low difference of less than 1,000 USD; ETH is quoted at 2396.65 USDT, down 1.15%, pressured from 2441.9 down to 2356.62, showing a significantly wider amplitude. In the same time window, ETH's trading volume is 140 million USDT, higher than BTC's 111 million, falling more sharply with heavier turnover, indicating short-term selling pressure is on the ETH side.
What concerns me more is the mismatch between price and capital. On the US trading day of October 16, BTC spot ETFs had a net outflow of 82.4 million USD, ETH spot ETFs had a net outflow of 69.7 million USD, marking the second consecutive day of outflows with expanding scale. The price hasn't collapsed, but ETFs are withdrawing, indicating that this sideways movement around 80,000 is not supported by incremental spot capital.
So I am not in a hurry to interpret BTC's resistance to decline as a strong bullish signal.
#BTC #ETH #ETFfunds #OKXmarket#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus Oil market "goes crazy," crypto market better not celebrate just yet 🎢
Oil prices surged to $110 before retreating, but what the market really fears is not the rise itself, but the reignition of inflation expectations 🔥. Middle East tensions, transportation risks, and declining US inventories have tightened crude supply, making oil prices unusually sensitive to news; even small events can trigger big fluctuations.
If energy costs continue to rise, interest rate hike expectations heat up, and the dollar and US Treasury yields strengthen, risk assets will naturally come under pressure, and the crypto market will find it hard to stay unaffected ⚠️.
$BTC is not advisable to be blindly optimistic in the short term 📉. First, watch if previous support holds and if the rebound has volume backing; if the price hits resistance with insufficient volume, be wary of another pullback. $ETH should be watched relative to BTC's strength: if BTC rebounds but ETH lags, it indicates that investor confidence is still lacking 🧐.
Currently, it is more suitable to defend and wait for confirmation, not chase emotions, and closely monitor volume, price, and macro signals 📊. #Tesla launches new generation Roadster, market rallies #US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? #SpaceX to release first full quarterly report after going public Charles Schwab, with approximately $13.33 trillion in client assets and 40.3 million brokerage accounts, has integrated $BTC / $ETH directly into its everyday account system. Eligible clients can buy and sell on Schwab.com, Schwab Mobile, and thinkorswim, with a 0.75% fee rate and single transactions ranging from $1 to $2 million. Holdings are displayed alongside stocks, bonds, and ETFs, effectively removing the entry barrier.
But don’t rush to see this as a "massive spot market gateway." Withdrawals still come with risk control restrictions: new addresses must be registered and wait 24 hours, with a limit of 3 transactions within 24 hours and a single transaction cap of $5,000. The fee rate is also significantly higher than native exchanges. The brokerage offers a "configuration window," not a "high-frequency trading channel" 😮.
The real suspense lies before the end of the year: SOL, AVAX, and LINK are all set to be added, but the order has not been revealed. Based on client familiarity and ecosystem depth, SOL is very likely to lead; however, if Schwab wants to prioritize the "institutional narrative," LINK or AVAX are also possible.
Who do you bet will be the first to get listed on Schwab? 🤔
$BTC $ETH #Tesla releases new generation Roadster, market rises #US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? #SpaceX’s first full quarterly report after IPO will be revealed $152 million quietly withdrawn, the real focus shouldn't be on the outflow itself. When you see ETF net outflows, is your first reaction "It's over, institutions are leaving"? I was startled when I checked the data last night, but the more I looked, the more I felt this interpretation was too superficial. On October 16, the US spot Bitcoin ETF had a net outflow of $82.39 million, returning the money that had just flowed in the day before; the Ethereum spot ETF has been bleeding for three consecutive trading days, with another $69.68 million outflow in a single day. Looking closely at the structure, IBIT alone contributed $71.78 million of Bitcoin withdrawals, while the ETH side was almost entirely handled by ETHA. The numbers look intimidating, but this is not a "collective institutional retreat" scenario. Let me first share my own position perspective. Such a single-day reversal easily causes panic; last week I almost chased to cut positions in a similar rhythm, but later reviewing the situation, I realized I cut at the peak of emotion. So this time I forced myself to first look at the derivatives structure instead of being led by the ETF headlines. The key signals are here: - Bitcoin outflows are highly concentrated in a single product, more like a certain type of fund rebalancing positions rather than a broad risk preference shift - Ethereum has had net outflows for three consecutive days, but the perpetual contract funding rate for ETH has not turned negative simultaneously, indicating the leverage side has not entered panic pricing - The total $152 million is not large relative to the overall ETF scale; what is truly worth cautioning is the timing of its occurrence, right at the gap when sentiment just shifted from optimism to hesitation. My understanding is that the market is currently trading not "institutional exit"
