The company estimates that Q3 revenue and EPS will both be below Wall Street's previous expectations, but operating profit margin is expected to improve significantly; the market is focusing on the advertising business and user activity.Couldn't resist checking the market again over the weekend—damn, I just can't control this habit.
Let's start with the data, no beating around the bush.
$BTC spot net outflow is 17.19 million in 1 hour, 26.25 million in 4 hours. Futures are running even faster: 85.73 million in 1 hour, 59.8 million in 4 hours. Spot still shows a 17.5 million net inflow over 24 hours, but in the last few hours, active selling clearly dominates. Long-term money hasn't left, but short-term buying is falling behind. For the rebound to survive, someone has to step up and take over, but no one is doing that now.
Macro is also conflicted: Trump's tussle with the Fed has pushed the dollar down, $BTC briefly touched 87,600, but uncertainties about tariffs and interest rate paths still hang overhead. In this environment, rebounds can happen, but those chasing the rebound need to ask themselves if they can handle the pullbacks.
$ETH is making me itch. Spot net inflow over 24 hours is 41.3 million, but only 360,000 in 4 hours, and a direct net outflow of 5.87 million in 1 hour. Futures saw 75.27 million inflow in 4 hours, but 30.37 million outflow in 1 hour. Bulls and bears are indecisive, coming in and out repeatedly, which is exhausting. But one thing can't be ignored: $ETH spot ETFs have had net inflows for 10 consecutive days, with BlackRock and Fidelity continuously accumulating. Institutions are acting as a human floor in the 2300-2400 range. The floor is real, but so is the ceiling—I won't guess the direction, I'll wait for it to choose itself.
$SOL is the most conflicted among the three. Spot net inflows in 1 hour, 4 hours, and 24 hours are 180,000, 2.83 million, and 26.19 million respectively—spot is catching, no problem there. But futures show a 93.37 million net outflow over 24 hours, running faster than anyone else. There's news: BlackRock's spot $SOL ETF application has been officially submitted, and Alpenglow's upgrade aims to push final confirmation to the millisecond level. But FTX/Alameda still hold $SOL potential selling pressure worth 1.1 billion dollars, and ETF inflows are slowing. Spot catching is good, but futures not turning back means the rise won't go far. The two sides are fighting; it's entertaining to watch, but not good for the market.
I opened a $BTC ant position short at 81,431 on OKX. The position isn't large, but my stance is clear.
The logic is simple: short-term buying is falling behind, active selling dominates, and leveraged longs are crowded on one side—the long-short ratio once broke 3:1, with long liquidations twice the size of shorts, making the structure fragile. I'm not bearish long-term; I'm betting that the buying won't catch up in this phase and someone has to feel the pain first. If it breaks 83,904, I'll admit defeat and exit, taking profits in batches on the way down. The ant position means: right, don't be reckless; wrong, don't get hurt.
So on this "buying falling behind" wave, which side are you on? Do you think the spot net inflow can hold, or like me, believe short-term needs a washout first? Let's discuss in the comments, everybody 😀
#欧洲央行上线代币化结算平台 $BTC $ETH $SOL #BTC成交萎缩，ETF买盘能否回暖 #特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 Brent crude oil has touched $110 for the first time since May
The main reasons are Saudi Arabia intercepting missiles and oil tankers being attacked. During the US trading session, oil prices surged rapidly, long-term bond markets fell, and yields rose
The number 110 is just a surface figure; the real market impact is that high oil prices will slow inflation decline, delay rate cuts, cause interest rates to rise, and put pressure on high-valuation assets
Going forward, the focus remains on whether oil prices can hold above $110, the trend of long-term yields, and whether crude oil transportation routes are interrupted
Missiles are just an emotional shock; short supply is the fundamental factor. Short-term emotions will quickly be digested by the market.

Tokenized real-world assets offer crypto markets a potential bridge to traditional financial instruments. Ondo’s positioning in this sector makes distribution, regulatory compliance, asset transparency, and access restrictions especially important factors. Growth in tokenized products would not necessarily translate proportionally into ONDO token demand. Separating the success of the underlying business from the economics of the governance token is crucial when evaluating this narrative.September CPI year-on-year 3.7%, core CPI month-on-month steady at 0.3% for two consecutive months, PPI year-on-year directly hit 6.3%, marking the largest increase since 2022. Energy is the obvious driver, with diesel once surging to a historic high of $6.528 per gallon, but the real killer is housing and core services—housing month-on-month rose from 0.3% to 0.4%, contributing nearly half of the core CPI increase, and "super core" services year-on-year rebounded from 3.1% to 3.2%. The foundation of inflation is not rotten; its stickiness remains. Logically, with such data, risk assets should be down. But Wash's stance at the IMF annual meeting was subtle: acknowledging stubborn inflation but refusing to make any commitment to a rate hike in October, only dropping the line "reality broadly aligns with our expectations." The market instantly pushed the probability of an October rate hike from 43.7% after the data release down to 15%. But if you relax just by looking at this number, you fall into a trap—the probability of a 25 basis point hike in December still hangs around 77%. This is the most contradictory aspect of the current market: loose in the near term, tight in the long term. #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes a new highlight
My view is that I believe the golden era of this iconic company has passed.Today, while browsing on-chain data, I discovered a very strong player. BitMine released its latest position update on October 12: last week, it bought another 12,532 ETH, bringing its total holdings to 6,028,946 ETH—about 6.03 million. What does 6.03 million ETH mean? It accounts for 4.9% of the total ETH supply. In other words, for every 20 ETH in circulation, 1 is held by BitMine. At the current price of $2,430, this position is worth about $14.6 billion. Including cash and other investments, BitMine's total assets are approximately $16.2 billion. Even more astonishing is the timeframe. Fifteen months ago, BitMine's ETH holdings were zero. Starting from zero, it bought 6.03 million ETH in 15 months, averaging 400,000 ETH per month. This is not investing; this is stockpiling. Moreover, it bought during a crash. Last week, BTC broke $80,000, ETH dropped to $2,317, the market panicked, and 185,000 people were liquidated. BitMine bought another 12,532 ETH at this time—while others were cutting losses, it was adding to its position. Why is BitMine so bullish on ETH? I think there are three reasons. First, ETH's deflationary model. After EIP-1559, a portion of the transaction fees for every ETH transaction is burned. When the network is active, more ETH is burned than newly issued, making ETH a deflationary asset. BitMine is hoarding an increasingly scarce asset. Second, ETH staking income...At Friday's close, the Nasdaq fell 2.15%, the S&P dropped 1.09%, and the Nasdaq lost 4.48% for the week, marking the worst week since April. None of the 30 components in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index were up; the storage index fell 6.28%. CoreWeave dropped 12% in one day and 25% for the week, with debt exceeding 51 billion, and the price of default insurance implies a more than 60% probability of default over the next five years.
On the other hand, Bank of America said U.S. equity funds saw inflows of 39 billion in a single week, annualized to 636 billion, a record. But the same firm's strategist also said they want to lay low for the next month. Money is flowing in, people are at the doorstep, but it's all so twisted.
Waller swallowed his words and said he won't predict the remaining two meetings this year. The bet on a rate hike in October dropped from 27.7% to 17.2%, while the odds of no change rose to 82%. Starting today, the blackout period begins, and no one is coming out to correct the narrative.
Oil prices are still pressing overhead, WTI at 101.9, Brent at 110; energy is one of the few sectors closing in the green among eleven sectors.
Anyone who drives sports cars understands this kind of tension—when cash flow is still coming in, the real question is whether you dare to run the tank dry. I've been watching these past two days, waiting for it to give its own answer.
Personal record sharing, not investment advice. What do you think over there? Let's chat together.布油冲击年内第二高，月底美联储利率来袭，中期选举在即！市场何去何从？
一觉睡醒布油冲击110刀，纽约油冲击100关口；压制了风险资产的超跌反势头以及黄金白银的中短反抽需求；
加之本周的大超预期的CPI/PPI已经彻底把老特架在火上烤了，窗口只剩不到半个月，虽然表态不打算消灭波斯猫新的领导层，但是远远不够，谎话可以说，但是市场很诚实，这一次老特共和党不妥协丢的不仅仅是中期选举，更是选民的信任，那么2028大选基本就没戏；
民众要的很简单，就是实实在在的生活成本降低而已；控制了几年通胀，老特一朝冲突直接干废了几年努力，CPI/PPI既是年内第二高也是近四年第二高；
这一场冲突绝不是几百亿军费那么简单，长债利息不断攀高，每年新增利息就不止这点；民众生活成本提高，每年社会成本上浮抑制消费对GDP影响更是巨大；
没有行动，那么下半任就不要指望有任何作为，会被两院限制；有行动才是此刻最务实的举措，此刻已经是箭在弦上不得不发的时刻，不是靠嘴说说就可以的，因为已经没有窗口期了；
按照目前趋势发展，如没有快速压下油价的举措，那么月底利率决议加息概率就较高，这是不得已而为之的结果，沃什修改了利率前”吹风会#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus $OKB's market cap is only one-tenth of its parent company's valuation. In the same exchange business, $BNB's market cap is nearly forty times that of OKB, while the business scale of the two companies differs by just over two times.
To put the numbers straight: OKX's latest funding round values it at $25 billion, with Standard Chartered, Circle, and Ripple all on the shareholder list; OKB's total of 21 million tokens at current price amounts to a market cap of $2.6 billion, which is 10.8% of the parent company's valuation. On the other hand, Binance's derivatives market share is 35%, OKX's is 16%, a 2.2 times difference; yet BNB's market cap is $103 billion, forty times that of OKB.
The business difference is twofold, the token difference is fortyfold, and the gap of over ten times lies not in the business but in how value flows back to the token.
BNB has two channels: quarterly profits are used for buyback and burn, and every on-chain Gas fee is burned in real time—the better the business, the fewer the tokens. OKB, conversely, after a one-time burn last year, permanently locked the total supply at 21 million, removing the authority for minting and burning—scarcity is achieved, but the cost is that no matter how much the exchange earns, the token quantity won't decrease, relying only on fee discounts and Jumpstart quotas as soft bindings.
So the current price of OKB is not set by OKX's business but by whether the X Layer can take off. If the chain takes off, the $2.6 billion market cap has enough elasticity; if not, it's just a membership card without dividends.
115 is the current support level in this pullback, with resistance at 124 above. The rebound is fake; the money simply hasn't arrived.
$BTC just broke below 81,000, down 1.77% in 24 hours, with nearly 80,000 liquidations across the market. The chart looks like it's recovering, but if you separate the capital flows of $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL, heat and money are two different things.
$BTC — The support strength is weakening. Spot net outflow of 13.7 million in 1 hour, 133 million net outflow in 24 hours; contracts are also withdrawing. The brief 24-hour net inflow is an illusion—over a longer period, contracts have a cumulative net outflow of 3.3 billion over a week. This rebound looks more like passive repair, not new money actively buying in. The ETF side confirms the same: institutional buying has clearly hit the brakes, with frantic buying last week but a sharp drop in inflows this week.
$ETH — The most deceptive one. 24-hour contract net inflow of 375 million looks strong at first glance. But in the last 1 and 4 hours, it has turned to net outflow; spot also saw a 57.05 million outflow in 24 hours. Spot ETFs are more honest—11 consecutive trading days of net outflow totaling 780 million USD, with a brief inflow followed by another 129 million net outflow. The impressive data is on display, but the buying is slipping beneath.
$SOL — The best among the short ones, but don’t rush to be moved. Spot 1h/4h/24h are indeed all net inflows, with capital supporting on the spot side; this is the only structure worth watching among the three. But contract funds continue to exit, and the spot ETF side isn’t solid either—on October 15, $SOL spot ETF had a single-day net outflow of nearly 9.82 million USD, and BSOL itself recorded outflows. Whether spot support can hold is the only lifeline for $SOL’s current strength. Once spot funds weaken, the previous strength was just a flash in the pan.
The news side is also pressuring sentiment. Although the Fed has a 71.8% probability of holding rates steady in October, the shadow of another rate hike this year hasn’t lifted. The CLARITY Act failed a procedural vote in the Senate; the regulatory framework boot is still pending. Brent crude is approaching 110 USD, and the macro backdrop for risk assets is unfriendly. In this environment, a rebound propped up by sentiment can be knocked down by any random news.
So my attitude is straightforward: before the signals arrive, chasing longs is all illusion.
Wait for two things: $BTC and $ETH spot funds turning positive, and $SOL spot support holding steady without being eaten up. Without these two, no matter how lively the market looks, it’s irrelevant to you.
Right now it’s consolidation, not a trend. Contract funds are withdrawing, spot support is weak, and the market is hanging by sentiment. Once sudden news hits, the pullback will be much faster than the rebound.
Don’t fear missing out; fear chasing in only to find you’re the only one holding the baton.

Saudi Arabia intercepted missiles and oil tankers were attacked, causing oil prices to surge directly during the US trading session, while long-term US Treasury yields rose. Oil prices are not just a simple commodity; they will hold back inflation and delay interest rate cuts.
With high interest rates, high-valuation assets are under pressure. The current logic for $BTC is very contradictory, as risk assets and inflation-hedging properties pull against each other, causing the market to fluctuate repeatedly.
Sentiment shocks are short-term; a true supply cut in the shipping lanes is the major fundamental factor. Stay tuned, I will continue to monitor oil prices and long-term bond yields.

Judging the linkage between the crypto market and US stocks doesn't need to be complicated; here’s a simple method to watch the market.
First, look at the time period. Around the US stock market open, if $BTC moves in sync with the Nasdaq, that indicates strong linkage; if the Nasdaq moves but Bitcoin remains still, the linkage is weak and the crypto market is driven by its own capital.
Second, observe the market level. During major negative news or macro data releases, both move synchronously, showing maximum linkage; during regular volatile markets, the linkage weakens and the crypto market behaves independently.
Third, distinguish by coin type. (BTC, )ETH show the clearest linkage with the Nasdaq. Small altcoins basically do not follow US stocks and only respond to internal capital rotation within crypto.
A small tip: if the Nasdaq and Bitcoin move in opposite directions for several consecutive days, it means short-term linkage has failed, so prioritize watching the crypto market itself.
But remember, linkage is only a reference signal and should not be used alone as a basis for trading decisions.
#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 Let's talk about a point that almost no one thinks deeply about: In September, the US CPI showed that prices for computers and peripherals rose 9.7% year-over-year, the largest increase since 2006; software accessories were even more extreme, rising 28.4%.
What does this mean? The AI infrastructure boom is no longer just a story in financial reports; it is concretely pushing up technology product prices through the frantic scramble for computing power and hardware, which in turn seeps into inflation data.
This creates a very ironic closed loop: the hotter AI gets → the more expensive hardware becomes → the stickier inflation gets → the more the Federal Reserve needs to raise interest rates → the harder it is for tech stocks that rely on future profits to sustain their valuations. The AI boom is literally creating an environment of interest rate hikes for itself.
Those still shouting "this AI rally will never end" are missing the most critical layer: it’s not just burning money, it’s burning the floor beneath its own feet. Short BTC?
Current price is around 82,200, with short-term moving average resistance between 82,600–83,000. The 20-month moving average at 87,165 and the year's opening price at 87,490 coincide, creating a strong major resistance. Fundamentals are also bearish: October ETF outflows have exceeded 1 billion, Hut 8 related wallets dumped 1,589 BTC to exchanges in two days, worth $130 million, the on-chain selling pressure is real.
But I have to say something I probably shouldn't: whales are on the other side. The number of wallets holding 10–10,000 BTC has hit a record high of 20,338, and they've been buying steadily over the past three months. This means shorting is a tactical trade, not a trend conviction. My plan: lightly short on a rebound to 82,800–83,000, set stop loss above 83,600, first target 81,200, add more if it breaks below to target 80,400; if it breaks 81,200 with volume, chase shorts targeting 78,000–79,800. Never hold through a squeeze; a short squeeze is more painful than a stampede when shorts are crowded.$BTC
Shorting is fine, but only short the rebound, don't chase the bottom on a breakdown. Are you siding with whales or shorts? Report your position in the comments. I'll be watching ETF net outflow data tomorrow morning; if it exceeds 200 million, I'll add shorts, if it turns inflow, I'll cut back immediately. #Tesla launches new generation Roadster, market rallies #US CPI and PPI both beat expectations, will there be more rate hikes this year? #ETF and whale funds diverge, can BTC hold $80,000? This morning I focused on a signal many people overlook: overnight silver once dropped over 6%, and gold was also pushed down. According to the old script, with the Middle East in conflict, oil prices surging, and risk aversion sentiment, gold and silver should have been lifted, so why did they both get sold off?
The answer is two words: interest rates. September inflation exceeded expectations across the board, pushing the market to raise the probability of rate hikes. Even gold, a traditional safe haven, can't withstand the pressure of real yields, let alone $BTC, a pure risk asset.
The biggest mistake in this market is treating war and geopolitics as bullish signals to bottom-fish. But the current pricing logic is not "risk aversion," but rather "war → oil price rise → sticky inflation → rate hikes." Understanding this chain explains why I'd rather hold a short position than catch that seemingly cheap falling knife.沃什今早在 IMF 年会上把话说得滴水不漏：不预判、不透露十月到底加不加。结果一群人立马解读成「鸽派、要暂停了」，美元应声走软，风险资产开始幻想反弹。
我只提醒一句：暂停加息不等于转向宽松。巴克莱、花旗、美银这两天全在往上修预期，不是不加了，是十二月、明年一月接着加。九月 CPI 反弹到 3.7%，核心还在往上走，油价把通胀往各个角落里渗。这种底色下满仓追多的人，跟牌桌上对手只是过了一手、就以为这局赢定了的鱼没区别。
我手里的空单为什么拿得住？因为逻辑没变过：利率不松，风险资产就没有真正的地板。$BTCEvery earnings season, the market feels like a pre-scripted exam.
Before the earnings are even released, capital has already started to place bets. Will revenue exceed expectations? Can profit margins continue to improve? Is management optimistic about guidance for the next quarter? Even a single phrase in the earnings call can become a reason for stock price fluctuations.
But interestingly, a company that clearly made more money might see its stock price fall; another company with seemingly mediocre results might instead experience a strong rally.
Because what the market trades on is never just what happened in the past, but what will happen in the future.
When everyone believes a company's performance will be strong, good earnings may already be priced into the stock. What truly determines the stock price is whether it is good enough to exceed market expectations.
So, rather than simply focusing on revenue and net profit, I prefer to look at a few things: whether growth is sustainable, if profit margins have improved, whether capital expenditures are converting into real revenue, and if management’s outlook for the future has changed.
Especially in sectors like AI, semiconductors, and storage, market valuations are often based on growth expectations for the coming years. The key question worth spending time on is whether today's high growth marks the peak of the industry cycle or the start of a new wave of demand expansion.
Of course, earnings reports are not a cure-all. Even the best companies can be overpriced; even poor results can lead to price increases if the bad news has already been fully absorbed.
#财报季专属话题 #财报观察员：财报季回顾与展望 Altcoins dropping 90% from their peak doesn't mean their valuation is cheap. The price is just the quote per token and cannot alone explain supply, demand, or valuation.
If a large amount of tokens continue to unlock and enter circulation without a corresponding increase in demand, the additional supply will keep suppressing the price. What needs to be checked is not the extent of the drop, but the current circulating supply, future unlocking schedule, and real demand.
Only looking at historical highs to buy the dip can easily mistake "big drop" for "low risk." When supply keeps expanding and usage and demand are insufficient, low prices can still be relatively expensive.ETF两天撤10亿，巨鲸却在闷声扫货
短线看着吓人：美国现货比特币ETF 10/14净流出约2.61亿美元，10/15再流出约2.62亿美元，机构资金短期确实在撤退。
但链上另一面更值得盯：巨鲸持仓从294万枚升到303万枚BTC，30日增持速度是2026年2月以来最快；新巨鲸成本约7.7万美元，已实现市值占比从18%升到33%，矿工抛压也明显下降。

$BTC $ETH $ZEC Mid-October 2026, BTC at $81,000, still down 5% for the year.
But don’t rush to call a bear market. Q3 just rose 42.7%, the strongest quarter in over two years. Fast rises, fast falls — only the volatility logic has changed:
Previously, pricing was set by retail investors, on a four-year halving cycle;
Now pricing is set by ETF funds, a $320 billion stablecoin pool, and institutional treasuries.
Institutional money is slow, so surges are no longer sharp; institutional money is resilient, so crashes no longer plummet all the way down.
The cycle isn’t dead, it’s been smoothed and extended.
How to view Q4? Don’t bet on direction, watch three things:
① US Dollar Index strength → defense, pullback → add positions
② ETF fund flows
③ Regulatory implementation progress
The harshest lesson for retail this round: the old tricks of on-chain smart money are rapidly losing value.
Position management > timing, asset allocation > single-coin faith, survival > profit.

Tesla's Q3 earnings report is scheduled for after market close on October 21. Delivery numbers have already been released: 486,532 vehicles delivered, 464,391 produced. Delivery is just one of two financial performance indicators, so don't use it alone to predict earnings.
The first is the automotive gross margin, which is the key metric. GAAP includes regulatory credits; Q2 was 16.9%. Excluding credits, non-GAAP was 16.3%, and Q1 was 19.2%. To see if profit recovery has occurred, only the latter should be used.
The second figure: regulatory credit revenue. These are zero-cost emission credits; Q2 was $146 million, Q1 was $380 million, a 60% drop in one quarter. If it drops further, gross margin will have to bear the burden itself.
The third is operating margin. Q2 operating profit was $398 million with a 1.4% margin, Q1 was 4.2%—even if gross margin recovers, expenses might still be a bottleneck. The fourth is free cash flow: operating cash flow of $4.697 billion minus capital expenditures of $5.789 billion, Q2 was -$1.092 billion. Negative does not equal loss; first look at how large the capital expenditures are.
The fifth is energy storage gross margin, calculated from the income statement: (31.39 - 24.99) ÷ 31.39 is about 20.4%, Q1 was about 39.5%. The company said on the call that about $240 million of warranty adjustments are included in this drop. One-time items are all hidden in the call; after reading the numbers, you still need to listen. WTI crude oil has once again risen above $100, driven primarily by geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, with multiple oil tankers recently attacked. According to India's Shipping Minister: on October 16, the MT ST 3 was hit by projectiles in the strait, but all 15 Indian crew members on board are safe and unharmed.
Positive factors: Freight rates for VLCCs from the Gulf of Oman to China have fallen 7.7% from their highs; about 400 commercial vessels have passed through the strait in the past 7 days, and the US military has assisted Gulf allies in transporting over 100 million barrels of crude oil.
Under multiple balancing factors, crude oil is unlikely to rise unilaterally, favoring a steady upward trend. With oil prices remaining high, inflation is unlikely to ease, and a major bull market in US stocks is out of the question. Negative factors no longer suppress the stabilization signals of risky assets. If negative news does not cause a drop, even slight positive news can easily trigger a rebound. So far, lifting sanctions on Russia has not produced significant effects.
4-hour chart: Overall trend is upward, with lows continuously rising, MACD remains positive, and the major bullish structure intact.
Crude oil trading advice:
Buy on dips around 97.8-98.3 with support at 97, target 100.5-101.6 U.S. stock market opened just an hour ago, and $BTC, $ETH, $SOL all turned green collectively. But the real eye-catching factor isn't the price, it's another data point most people overlook: open interest is retreating. $BTC is currently at 82358, up 1.47%; $ETH at 2475, up 4.34%; $SOL at 106.3, up 3.12%. On the surface, it looks lively, but underneath it's shrinking. BTC open interest dropped from 2.58 billion to 2.45 billion, the long-short ratio slid from 1.88 to 1.76; $ETH long-short ratio plunged from 2.73 to 1.85; $SOL dropped from 2.72 to 2.31. These three data sets together send a very clear signal: leverage is exiting, not new money entering. Prices are pushed up by short covering, not active buying. After the U.S. market opened, tech stocks did not crash, giving crypto a breather. But this is a correction, not a reversal. $BTC faces heavy resistance in the 83000–84000 range, $ETH has dense trapped positions around 2500, and $SOL's key threshold is 110. Unless these levels are broken, this rebound is merely a reduction of positions, not an accumulation. Notably, $ETH's long-short ratio dropped the most, from 2.73 to 1.85, indicating the most intense clearing of long leverage. If subsequent ETF funds turn into net inflows, $ETH's rebound potential might even surpass $BTC—provided 2500 is effectively reclaimed. $BTC then#ETF and Whale Funds Diverge, Can BTC Hold $80,000?
The anticipated bull market hasn't arrived; BTC is currently around $81,300–$81,600. Recently, it has repeatedly tested the $80,000–$81,500 range and rebounded. So far this month, it has declined about 2%, clearly lagging behind the historical "Uptober" trend.
October has seen significant net outflows overall. So far this month, net outflows are approximately $500–540 million, with large outflows concentrated on October 7 (about $485–$487 million), October 8, and October 14 trading days; occasional small inflows occurred in between. This sharply contrasts with the strong inflows in September. The average cost basis for the US spot Bitcoin ETF is around $81,500. After multiple price tests below this level, it has recovered, making it an important "magnet" level.
Analysts from CryptoQuant and other institutions also point out that whales shifting from selling to buying is a common early bull market characteristic. There is also net inflow pressure on exchanges, but the overall narrative leans toward large holders accumulating at low prices.
The ETF cost basis and whale accumulation provide clear support logic, with prices repeatedly validating this area's effectiveness; however, ongoing ETF net outflows plus macro pressure from hot CPI are the main risks. If outflows slow or turn positive, combined with continued on-chain accumulation, it will be easier to test $84k upwards; conversely, a decisive break below $80k could open the way down to $78k or even lower.
Hang in there, brothers, the real winter hasn't arrived yet.🐻
$BTC Since last night until now, the crypto market has been declining on low volume, with bulls' several counterattacks being suppressed.
$BTC slid from 82,816 to 81,736, holding above 80,000;
$ETH retreated from 2,488 to 2,424, losing 2,500 again;
$HYPE is the weakest, dropping from 82.42 to 80.20, down 1.82% in 24h and over 4% in 7 days.
The pullback can't avoid the Federal Reserve. Warsh gave no hint on rate hikes, the market lowered its bets, Korean stocks' selling pressure paused temporarily, sentiment slightly eased, but recovery is only enough for BTC to hold above 80,000, still far from the previous high.
On the other hand, Musk showcased the flying Roadster, Hyperliquid Tesla contracts' hourly volume surged from 2.8 million to 47 million, the platform is lively, yet HYPE continues to decline. No matter how high the turnover, it hasn't entered holders' wallets, and the hype hasn't turned into buying pressure.
Now, don't rush to bottom-fish or short: wait for rate hike expectations to settle and BTC to expand volume and reclaim the pressure zone before attacking again; for HYPE to rebound, it must first prove it can keep up with Hyperliquid's trading volume. If support holds, it will consolidate at the bottom; if lost, it's hard to say.#Tesla Delivery Beats Expectations, Profit Recovery Becomes the Focus
The recent market has been volatile, with bulls and bears tugging back and forth, leaving many confused. But it's precisely at times like these that a calm mind and iron discipline are needed.📈
Let's focus on my forecast for Tesla (TSLA) Q3 earnings.📈
First, the logic. Tesla delivered about 486,000 vehicles in Q3, a slight increase quarter-over-quarter but a year-over-year decline. This can't be entirely blamed on weak demand—last year the US had a tax credit policy, causing many to buy cars early and pushing the base too high. Wall Street currently generally expects earnings per share around 44 cents and revenue about $27.8 billion. Personally, I feel the energy storage business has been strong recently and can provide some support, but the automotive core business's profit margin is still under pressure. So I tend to think: revenue might be about the same, but EPS will most likely miss expectations, and the after-hours stock price will probably be volatile. The specifics will depend on management's comments on FSD and new vehicles. $BTC $ZEC $xTSLA The market's game on SK Hynix essentially boils down to judging between the "profit peak of cyclical stocks" and the "revaluation of growth stocks." Looking at it separately, the evidence directions of the two main lines are inconsistent.
Can the strong demand for HBM offset the cyclical downturn in traditional storage?
From the perspectives of "volume" and "price," the support for HBM is real, but not without cracks.
The demand certainty for HBM4 is very high. SK Hynix has secured about 70% of the HBM4 orders for Nvidia's Vera Rubin platform, far exceeding the previous market expectation of slightly above 50%; HBM4 has been mass-produced and shipped since Q2 2026, and the company plans a significant capacity expansion in the second half of the year. The price of the 12-layer HBM4 product is expected to exceed $600, and the company has signed long-term supply agreements (LTA) with about 10 customers, setting differentiated pricing mechanisms to smooth out cyclical fluctuations.
However, on the traditional storage side, the "cyclical downturn" is not a complete collapse but a severe structural divergence. In Q1 2026, traditional DRAM contract prices surged 90%–95% quarter-on-quarter, NAND rose 55%–60%; by Q3, the quarter-on-quarter increase in DRAM contract prices had narrowed to 13%–18%, NAND to 10%–15%. More critically, some consumer-grade storage spot prices have slightly declined due to inventory buildup, with 64GB eMMC even showing an inverted situation where spot prices are lower than contract prices. The trends of high-end AI storage and consumer-grade storage are diverging #HBM4量产能否推动SK海力士盈利再创新高？ Deutsche Bank pushed that stainless steel cold storage cabinet right next to my stove.
Reuters reported on October 16 that within weeks, it plans to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum custody stoves for institutional and corporate clients in Germany, with USDC, EURC, and EURAU also on the shelf. This isn’t just adding a side dish; it’s turning the entire restaurant’s storage room into a temperature-controlled wine cellar—main courses, broths, and sauces all packed inside, with the keys firmly in your own hands.
The essence of custody is temperature control. A two-degree difference overcooks the steak a bit; a layer off on the private key ruins the whole banquet. Institutional clients are the most demanding; they don’t ask how well-done your steak is, they first open the freezer to check temperature logs, kitchen workflows, and who can reach in. Deutsche Bank says it wants to make this a standard product and plans to open branches in Asia by 2027, also aiming to develop molecular dishes like stablecoin broth swaps, deposit tokenization, and digital bonds. The menu looks great, but molecular cuisine fears shaky hands in the kitchen—once the broth swap goes wrong, the whole pot must be discarded.
The neighboring stove hasn’t been idle either. Standard Chartered is opening Bitcoin and Ethereum trading for professional diners in the UAE and managing RLUSD storage; BNY Mellon has expanded a row of cold storage in Europe. Three old-school Western restaurants crowding this street means the diners have truly arrived. But whether they are just curious tasters or regulars booking daily tables will only be clear after the first wave of payments.
Turning demand into custody assets involves a whole serving window in between: compliance approval is the health inspection, internal risk control is the food delivery process, and if any link gets stuck, the dish cools at the window. The promise of "a few weeks" in the kitchen is like "15-minute meals"—easy to say, but whether it can withstand the lunch rush is another matter. More importantly, having only a freezer without a stove means only accepting stored grain, not banquets; stock comes in, but flow may not keep up.
Looking at pre-made dishes like $xNVDA with stock labels, the logic is simple: institutions put money into cold storage but may not want to share it with the hot stir-fry stalls. The bigger the cold storage, the more it shows some just want to store, not cook. The main course must be stable first before seasoning can be sprinkled; the freezer is powered on before the stove dares to light the fire.
I’ve never focused on the menu’s thickness but on the serving speed. Whether the freezer can be powered on within three weeks, the temperature can be maintained, and the first batch of custody assets can safely lie for a full quarter—that’s where the judges really dig in. Installing three freezers but only using them to chill beer means the restaurant won’t survive the first off-season.
My only ratio advice: the main course can be slow, but the cold storage can’t be empty. Whoever wants to add that spoonful of extra spicy chili, go ahead; I’m just here to watch who gets burned inside but still claims to be savoring the flavor. #deutschebankcustodyBrent crude oil hits the second highest level of the year, Federal Reserve rate hike coming at the end of the month, midterm elections approaching! Where is the market headed? Waking up to Brent crude hitting $110, New York crude hitting the $100 mark; this has suppressed the oversold rebound momentum of risk assets as well as the short-to-medium term rebound demand for gold and silver; coupled with this week's CPI/PPI far exceeding expectations, which has completely put Trump on the hot seat, with less than half a month left in the window. Although the new leadership has stated they do not intend to eliminate the Persian cat, it is far from enough. Lies can be told, but the market is honest. This time, the Trump Republicans' refusal to compromise costs not only the midterm elections but also the voters' trust, basically ruining the 2028 presidential election prospects; The public wants something very simple: a real reduction in living costs; After controlling inflation for several years, Trump's administration's conflicts have directly undone years of effort. CPI/PPI is the second highest this year and the second highest in nearly four years; This conflict is far more than just a few billion in military spending. Long-term debt interest keeps climbing, and the annual new interest is more than that; Rising living costs for the public and increasing social costs each year suppress consumption, which has a huge impact on GDP; Without action, do not expect any achievements in the second half of the term, as it will be restricted by both houses; Taking action is the most pragmatic measure at this moment. This is already a moment where the arrow is on the string and must be released, not something that can be solved by just talking, because there is no longer a window of opportunity; According to the current trend, if there is no quick measure to suppress oil prices, the probability of a rate hike in the rate decision at the end of the month is high. This is an unavoidable result. Walsh modified the pre-rate hike "briefing".#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 For SpaceX, the first full quarterly earnings report after going public is not really about the profit numbers themselves, but about how the capital market will re-evaluate the company's commercial value.
I believe investors need to break SpaceX into two parts: the rocket launch business provides technological barriers and strategic value, while Starlink determines whether it can generate scalable, sustainable cash flow.
The focus is not just on revenue growth, but on whether Starlink's user expansion can translate into profits, how much capital expenditure satellite deployment and rocket development require, and whether free cash flow can improve.
The biggest risk for high-valuation companies is that the market has already priced in growth expectations for several years ahead. Once actual profitability falls short, even excellent companies may face valuation adjustments.
What SpaceX truly needs to prove is not whether it can continue to change the aerospace industry, but whether these technological advantages can continuously translate into shareholder returns.
Do you think the core of SpaceX's future valuation should be Starlink's profitability or the long-term monopoly advantage of aerospace infrastructure?80K不是价格，是心脏骤停前最后一段冠脉灌注压；跌破它，心肌不会立刻坏死，但监护仪上的ST段已经开始抬高。
先看生命体征：市占率仍在60%附近，说明主干血流尚未彻底改道，可这不是安全，而是代偿。真正危险的是容量。美国现货比特币基金单日净流出三千二百零九枚、约两亿五千八百万美元，这不是普通回撤，是围术期持续失血；血压还能撑，乳酸已经在爬。价格暴跌只是症状，病灶在边际买盘被抽走。
再看侧支循环。大持有者在八月末以来增持约六万枚，成本区集中在80K至86K，这像自体血回输和侧支开放：能争取时间，但不能替代主动脉。若80K附近只有鲸鱼接血、基金持续放血，那就是低灌注下的心肌顿抑，心电图会先于主观感受恶化。
宏观层面，消费者物价指数与生产者物价指数高于预期，利率上行预期把全身后负荷推高。风险资产像被夹闭的主动脉，左心室壁应力上升，任何杠杆头寸都相当于大剂量正性肌力药：短期把血压顶上去，长期增加氧耗。三倍做多半导体代币标的$xSOXL的联动，不是额外病灶，而是同一循环系统里的高交感张力；纳斯达克一抖，它的冠脉血流就先掉。
所以80K能不能守，不看情绪，看灌注压与容量负荷是否同步。若现货基金净流出收窄、大持有者承接不撤、市占率不因反弹而失血，80K是可复灌的临界带；若基金继续放血而杠杆资金抢反弹，那就是在心律失常台上加除颤，电压越高，心肌越顿抑。80K若失守且现货基金流出未止，这不是回调，是围术期低灌注，监护仪已经在报警。 #canbtchold80k$SNDK In the last 24 hours, Sandisk long positions liquidated across the network totaled $5.861 million, and short positions liquidated totaled $1.412 million
Yesterday's drop in Sandisk was entirely its own fault, not Hynix's. When the Korean stock market opened yesterday, Hynix stabilized the stock price and even rose slightly. Sandisk followed, reaching a high of 1409.4. By the time the U.S. market opened last night, Sandisk traded sideways for over two hours, then completely collapsed late at night#Tesla delivery exceeds expectations, profit recovery becomes the focus Bitcoin $BTC What's the next move?
Yesterday: The highest was only 82,941 — 59 dollars short of the 83,000 I predicted.
Just that little bit short, it didn't touch.
1. Compared to yesterday, today's data
Long liquidation intensity below: about 2 billion USD → about 1.1 billion USD
Short liquidation intensity above: about 1.2 billion USD → about 1.6 billion USD
2. Key price levels to watch
80,800: The first dense zone below, breaking this triggers the first wave of strong liquidations
80,000: Next segment down, the buffer starts to thin here
82,000: The first cluster of short positions above
82,900: Breaking through here squeezes shorts the hardest
3. Path projection
Downward: Break below 80,800 → dense long zone around 80,000 → this buffer is thin, prone to chained strong liquidations
Upward: Stand above 82,000 to start squeezing shorts → 82,900 → 84,000
4. My judgment
Today's data is the complete opposite of yesterday's:
Yesterday the top was thin and the bottom thick; today the bottom is thin and the top thick.
More importantly — that wall above is moving downward.
Yesterday the first cluster was at 83,000, today it’s at 82,000. And yesterday the price touched 82,941 but was pushed back,
indicating the 83,000 level was never passed.
But that cluster of short positions is being pushed down — it's not "shorts being squeezed," it's "shorts chasing downward."
What’s your take?If the pile foundation doesn't reach the bedrock, no matter how beautiful the renderings are, they're just a piece of worthless paper — and the real weight of this news is that Germany's largest established developer has finally decided to drive piles through the backfill soil, directly onto the bedrock.
In the past decade, the crypto world has never lacked renderings. Whitepapers are proposal documents, roadmaps are bird's-eye view renderings, and community enthusiasm is like the crowd at the sales office on opening day. What is truly lacking is the load-bearing structure. Institutional funds are not unwilling to enter the market; they just stand at the edge of the foundation pit and can't see a single qualified cast-in-place pile — without compliant custody, there is no legal load path, and hundreds of millions of dollars in assets have nowhere to be placed, hanging in midair. Custody services correspond to foundation and basement engineering in architecture: they don't appear in any promotional images, but they determine whether the building can be constructed up to thirty floors. Opening Bitcoin and Ethereum custody to institutional and corporate clients within weeks essentially means completing the pile foundation inspection first, then discussing the superstructure.
But I am more concerned about the construction organization design. From announcement to delivery, only a few weeks are left, which is quite an aggressive schedule. Custody is not about buying a server and powering it on; it is concealed work: decentralized management of private keys, cold and hot channel workflows, audit trails, seismic rating of disaster recovery data centers, dual acceptance of insurance and compliance — every step requires supervisor sign-off. Regulatory approval is the construction permit; without it, you can only have a construction fence; with it but without acceptance of concealed work, cracks will appear after delivery.
Stablecoin exchange, tokenized deposits, and digital bonds — I see these as the standardization of mechanical and electrical systems and prefabricated components. Civil construction completed is just a shell; whether it is livable depends on whether plumbing, fire protection, and low-voltage electrical systems are complete. If tokenized bonds are standardized prefabricated components, their value lies not in how refined each component is, but whether the interfaces are compatible and can be mass-installed. Without modular coordination, it will forever remain at the model room stage.
Asia's 2027 expansion is phase two development. The biggest fear in phased development is not selling out, but rushing to start phase two before phase one cash flow turns positive, ultimately draining both ends.
Standard Chartered in the Gulf and BNY Mellon in Europe are starting construction simultaneously; the three sites compete for the same batch of tenants. This competition ultimately is not about renderings but about the speed of completion filing and the stability of property management. The so-called conversion of demand into custody assets and continuous inflows, translated into engineering language, means: how many units are truly occupied after delivery, and whether property fees can be collected monthly. Locked-up scale is sales area; continuous inflow is occupancy rate, and occupancy rate depends on whether the elevators in this building still work ten years later.
When judging whether a project is valuable, I never look at what it has released; I only look at its pile foundation inspection report and supervision logs — everything else is just the curtain wall. #deutschebankcustodyElon Musk personally held a funeral for "human driving": That flying Tesla, the impressive part isn't actually the flying
October 15, Texas, SpaceX rocket test site. A Tesla flew over a row of car roofs in front of the whole world—flipping 180 degrees in the air and landing steadily. It can even drive upside down on the ceiling, with a 0-60 acceleration tested at 0.81 seconds.
The second-generation Roadster, delayed for nine years, really "flew" this time.
First, a quick explanation of why it can fly, the principle is simpler than you might think:
First is the [fan suction]. High-power exhaust fans are installed under the car, sucking away the air beneath it, so atmospheric pressure "presses" the car firmly against the contact surface, generating 2G downforce even when stationary—this is why it can drive upside down. This trick isn't new; in 1978, an F1 fan car used this to dominate races but was banned after one race for "being too advantageous." Second is [cold air propulsion]. There are 10 nozzles at the rear and around the body, releasing compressed air from a 600-liter high-pressure tank instantly, pushing the car into the air by reaction force. No ignition, no combustion; the technology shares origins with the thrusters used for attitude control during Falcon 9 rocket recovery.
But to reveal the truth: [this is not a flying car]. The rocket version that can fly is invite-only and cannot be driven on public roads; the launch event had to apply for a temporary no-fly zone from aviation authorities. The version you can pre-order for 332,000 yuan does not fly.
So the question arises: What is Musk's purpose with a "flying show" car that can't be sold or driven on roads?
The first answer: timing. Six days after the launch, Tesla will release its Q3 earnings report. Its main battlefield, Robotaxi, is collectively stuck in "profit anxiety"—the story has been told for years, but the books haven't balanced yet. At this critical moment, what is most needed is a [technology faith booster] that doesn't rely on earnings or approvals. JPMorgan's evaluation is straightforward: this launch showcases engineering capability, not a commercialization plan.
The second answer is hidden in Musk's own words. He said this car is one of the ["last few best human-driven cars"]. Consider this sentence. A company that has bet everything on "humans not needing to drive" spent nine years building a car that must be driven by a human, and driven to the extreme. This is not showing off skills; it's an admission: the fulfillment cycle for autonomous driving is much longer than he publicly stated. [Human driving is not dead; it even has a "final era".]
The third layer is the truly profound impact: the car's air tanks come from SpaceX rockets, the AI assistant Grok is already installed in Tesla, and the two companies are co-building a chip factory. [The technological boundaries between Tesla and SpaceX are dissolving]—the flying car is just a facade; the real signal from this launch is the merging of the "Musk ecosystem" companies. And when a car breaks the century-old rule that "wheels must stay on the ground," global traffic laws, safety standards, and insurance systems are all blank slates. [A new species has been born, but the rules are not yet written.]
Finally, a principle that resonates with our crypto world: Tesla's stock price has never been supported by car sales but by "technology narrative." After the launch, its pre-market price rose 4.7%—no one expects this car to sell in volume, but everyone is willing to pay a premium for the story of "defining the future." [Narrative-driven assets rise on faith and fall on faith.] This is exactly the same for stocks and crypto.A $60 billion warm and moist airflow is being forcibly pumped over Silicon Valley, and what condenses near the surface is heavy precipitation with a 10% coupon rate—this is not an ordinary rainy season, but an energy transfer at the level of a high-altitude jet stream.
First, let's look at the sounding observations: $16.8 billion revenue in a single quarter, a sequential warming rate of about 45%, and adjusted profits turning positive. On radar echoes, this is indeed a structurally complete, vigorously vertically developing strong convective cell, with the cloud top already reaching near the tropopause. But the problem has never been how high the cloud is, but whether the moisture flux convergence can be sustained. Computing power expenditure is a dew point curve that keeps rising, and revenue is the condensation output; when the transport volume is consistently greater than the precipitation, the cloud body can only maintain its form by continuously drawing upstream warm and moist airflow. Once the upstream supply is cut off, what follows is not precipitation but a collapsing downdraft.
More worrisome is the model divergence. In ensemble forecasts, some members have already lowered the market valuation from $2 trillion to $1.5 trillion, with the dispersion suddenly widening—this is one of the most dangerous signals in numerical forecasting: it’s not that one member predicted heavy rain, but that members are starting to conflict with each other, indicating the initial field itself is unstable. $9 billion and a 10% coupon rate represent strong wind shear brought by the high-altitude jet stream; the greater the shear, the easier it is for convection to be torn apart and also more likely to suddenly organize at some point.
Next, look at the boundary layer. New York requires a safety governance plan before listing, and related legislative drafts are already moving upstream; this inversion layer acts like a lid on top of the cumulonimbus, suppressing vertical development in the short term, but once broken through, the outbreak will be even stronger. The real unresolved question is whether the moisture budget can close: can the convergence line of computing power input be caught up by the precipitation efficiency of revenue and cash flow?
Responses at adjacent stations have already appeared—the elements of related targets are synchronously fluctuating, with pressure, wind speed, and visibility changing in the same direction, indicating they are controlled by the same weather system, with no independent microclimate.
My judgment is: a typical environment of high humidity, high shear, and low precipitation efficiency; the typhoon eye is still there, but eyewall replacement has already begun. #anthropic60bfinancingBrent crude oil surged by four to five percent overnight. The Middle East situation is becoming increasingly chaotic; the Houthis and Saudi Arabia are already at each other's throats. Oil prices can no longer be effectively suppressed by just the bluster of the yellow-haired leader. The market is increasingly dismissive of his empty talk. Furthermore, the yellow-haired leader recently issued threats against Iran, but just a few days ago he said there would be no bombing of Iran before the midterm elections, which emboldened Iran even more, making them more defiant. Recently, some news of bombings was released, and Iran has quieted down. The Houthis are essentially directed by Iran, and now they want to play the good guy and mediate. Oil prices are wildly fluctuating. The yellow-haired leader has reconciled with the big goose, lifting sanctions on it, which has caused dissatisfaction in Congress. The yellow-haired leader is currently beset by internal and external troubles: externally, the Iran issue is repeatedly unresolved, oil prices remain high, and inflation is hard to suppress; internally, the Democrats are eyeing him closely. If the Republicans lose both houses in the midterm elections, it will be a disaster for the yellow-haired leader. Not only could he be impeached, but he might also face criminal charges. It is widely known that the yellow-haired leader has made hundreds of millions of dollars exploiting geopolitical issues. It is uncertain whether he can live out his later years in peace. $BTC $ETH $SOL #US CPI and PPI both exceed expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? #ETF and whale funds diverge, can BTC hold $80,000? Full latest in-depth interview with Sun Yuchen: Bearish on BTC, bearish on the Nasdaq, neutral on ETH, bullish on AI applications, not playing A-shares... Seriously shared many market views and trading positions, worth a look. Bearish on BTC. He believes Bitcoin faces significant threats from AI and quantum computing and is unlikely to escape unscathed; the market underestimates the potential impact of these risks on BTC. Quantum-resistant upgrades can only save "those willing to save themselves," and hard forks freezing old coins are almost impossible to reach consensus on under Bitcoin's decentralization. However, his BTC is a base position, and he has not reduced holdings during the past year's decline. Currently, ETH is only about 20% position and on the sidelines. Last year, he reduced 80-90% of ETH between 3600–4000 (in Nov–Dec last year, the logic for reduction was the "second top relying only on Tom Lee" at 4800), and so far has not bought back. During ETH reduction, he increased allocation in US stocks. He is "slightly bearish" on the Nasdaq mid-term, bearish but has not shorted yet. He thinks capital concentration is too severe, hardware stocks are hyped as software stocks, and if the AI financing cycle encounters problems, everything will collapse. US Treasuries are the "parent" of all funds, now being drained by the "child" equities; interest rates must be high to attract money, but if too high, money will flow back. Short-term chip oversupply is not ruled out, similar to the 2000 fiber optics bubble. The AI sector he is most optimistic about is applications, especially AI health management (data collection → mining → decision-making, no need to wait until illness to go to the hospital). The least optimistic are storage and optical modules.

Current (October 2026) macro environment reference
BTC price: about $81,000–$86,000
Network difficulty: about 132.7 T
Hashprice: about $39–$40 / PH / day
Under this environment, the shutdown prices for various tiers of machines are roughly as follows (estimated based on common industrial electricity prices of $0.06–$0.08 per kWh):
Shutdown prices for various mining machines
🟢 New liquid-cooled high-efficiency machines (S23 Hyd, S21 XP Hyd, ~9.5–12 J/TH)
Shutdown price: about $30,000–$50,000
Strongest resistance to price drops, can still operate even if the coin price halves
🟡 Mainstream new machine S21 Pro (~15 J/TH)
Electricity price 0.06 → Shutdown price about $46,000
Electricity price 0.08 → Shutdown price about $62,000
🟠 Previous generation S19 XP (~21.5 J/TH)
Electricity price 0.06 → about $67,000
Electricity price 0.08–0.09 → about $80,000–$89,000
🔴 Old models S19 / M30 / Avalon old series (above 23 J/TH)
When electricity price is above 0.08, shutdown price directly reaches $85,000–$90,000+
As long as the coin price is around $80,000, these machines basically unplug first
Summary corresponding to current market
Now BTC is just above $80,000:
New liquid-cooled machines → Stable
S21 series → Still holding
S19 XP high electricity price scenario → Critical
Old S19/M30 → Already shut down or close to shutdown
Two common pitfalls to avoid
① "Shutdown price" by default only counts electricity cost
If you include hosting fees, maintenance, machine depreciation, financing costs, the actual survival line will be higher than the pure electricity shutdown price.
② Difficulty will change
Each time difficulty increases, the same machine mines fewer coins → shutdown price automatically rises.
So if calculated as $60,000 today, next week with difficulty adjustment it might become $63,000.
Lazy formula (apply yourself)
Daily electricity cost = Power (kW) × 24 × electricity price
Daily BTC output ≈ miner hashrate / total network hashrate × 450 BTC
Shutdown coin price = daily electricity cost ÷ daily BTC output I am the mid-term intelligence brother.
$BTC Night Report: Glassnode just spoke, yesterday's decline showed another "seller capitulation."
Looking back at early August, mid-August, and mid-September, every loss-driven sell-off precisely corresponded to a local bottom. Since the pullback from the September high, profit-taking has clearly slowed down. This time, the selling pressure just above $80,000, if history repeats itself, is very likely a phase bottom.
Combining recent intelligence, enterprises have aggressively bought 193K BTC this year, ETFs have accumulated over 57 billion, and institutional base holdings remain firm. On-chain panic selling vs. institutions quietly accumulating—a classic shakeout.
The $80,000 level is a battleground between bulls and bears. From a mid-term perspective, the supply-demand imbalance remains unchanged. After the bottom is solidified, there is still a main upward wave. Hold steady and don’t get shaken off.

#US CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, will there be another rate hike this year? Not talking about the crypto market drop, let's talk about a signal I've been watching for a week.
AI is now being asked a question no one asked before: when will the money invested be earned back? CoreWeave has dropped 25% cumulatively this week. The market isn't complaining about its high valuation; it's doubting whether borrowing money to build data centers is still a viable path.
This doubt is far more important than the crypto market's own drop. The water level of risk assets these past two years has been supported by the story that "AI will deliver"—once the story loosens, the first to suffer are those priced mostly on the story.
Altcoins are exactly in this position. $DOGE, $GRASS, $UNI—frankly, when they rise it's driven by sentiment and liquidity; when they fall, no one bothers to calculate their real value.
So I still hold these three short positions. I won't add when they drop, nor will I close when they bounce—if I really move, it will be after the money propping up the story leaves first.
A quick note: will the story collapse first or the price? I bet on the former. What do you think? Let's discuss in the comments👇
#ETF and whale capital divergence, can BTC hold $80,000? The current average transaction price is over 137, which is equivalent to buying BTC at a 10% discount. Although I know MSTR hasn't hit bottom yet, I'm quite satisfied with this price. Before the main upward wave starts, being able to buy below the 200-day weekly moving average and below all long-term daily moving averages is a good opportunity. My price is higher than predecessors, but I save a lot of waiting time and it's more cost-effective than buying BTC spot directly. The 10% discounted $BTC price is basically around 815, which hasn't moved much. However, last night $MSTR dropped more than 10% due to panic from being removed from the index, with rumors that passive funds would sell 2 billion. For a 60 billion market cap, 2 billion isn't that panic-inducing; sellers often issue 2 billion with each increase. I believe the market is overreacting, making this a very good buying window, but it will take time to verify my judgment. I plan to build positions in batches from September to November. My investment work in October has made significant progress ✅ Currently, MSTR is at a 11% discount, October is the discount month, I'm not lying to you #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins

The trigger is straightforward: Saudi Arabia intercepted a missile, and an oil tanker was attacked. When the news broke during the U.S. afternoon session, oil prices surged sharply, long-term bond prices fell, and yields rose accordingly.
But the number 110 itself is not the key point; the key is that it brings two issues back to the forefront.
First, energy is the stickiest component of inflation. If oil prices stay high, inflation will fall more slowly, and the timeline for rate cuts is likely to be pushed back.
Second, when long-term interest rates rise, the global cost of capital increases. Risk asset valuations rely on discounting by interest rates; when discount rates rise, high valuations get hit first.
$BTC’s current role is very delicate: on one hand, it is treated as a risk asset, moving with liquidity; on the other hand, some see it as a hedge against currency devaluation.
When oil prices push inflation expectations higher, these two logics clash, so its reaction is often not one-sided—it first jitters with the broader market, then investors decide whether to buy it as an "inflation hedge."
Next, watch three things: whether oil prices can hold above 110 rather than just spike and retreat; whether long-term yields jump briefly or continue rising; and whether transport routes are materially disrupted. Missiles affect sentiment, but supply cuts affect fundamentals.
If it’s just a sentiment shock, risk assets usually digest it within a few days; if oil prices stay high and inflation expectations are repriced, that’s a different script for the overall market.
#HormuzMerchantShipAttack, oil transport continues to be under pressure That one minute last night, BTC suddenly bounced back from below eighty thousand, and I stared at the order book in disbelief for two seconds. Would this count as a classic "false breakdown" repricing? Back to the main topic. Last night BTC once dropped below eighty thousand, then quickly recovered, now standing back near the uptrend line. The defense zone at eighty thousand still looks stable for now. But I don't think there will be an immediate breakout upward in the short term; the downside space is actually limited too. It feels more like both buyers and sellers are tired and entering a tug-of-war. My own thinking is, if it returns near eighty thousand, I would consider buying in batches, keeping leverage within ten times for comfort. ETH is a bit disappointing. Before last night's open, I saw it continuing to fall and was quite hopeful, thinking I could wait to act at the lowest support line. But it didn't even break the first support, giving no chance to get in. So I can only keep waiting, not forcing it. This kind of "waiting in vain" market is actually more comfortable than chasing highs, because at least you won't make mistakes. SOL this time did show a somewhat convenient structure. There is resistance below the trend line, so theoretically, you can wait for a short opportunity. I might try a short-term short position, but the premise is to wait a bit longer for confirmation, not rushing in. Looking at these three together, the market is actually trading one thing: expectations for the "depth of the correction" have been disrupted. Originally, many were waiting for a deeper shakeout, but BTC was caught at eighty thousand, and ETH didn't even touch the first support, indicating selling pressure isn't as heavy as imagined. But conversely, BTC's rebound couldn't pull out strong momentum in one go, and altcoins overall are still followingConclusion first: $ZIL dropped 29% today, not a gradual decline, but a sharp sell-off during the 10-16 noon 4H volume spike—single transaction volume reached 8.9 million tokens, 20 times the average volume during the consolidation period, directly dropping from 0.00337 to 0.00269.
Currently, the 24h high is 0.00346, the low is 0.00233, and the current price is 0.00235, hovering near the daily low. Two key figures to note:
1. Funding rate is -0.06%, shorts pay longs, indicating the drop is due to active selling, not a long squeeze;
2. Contract open interest is only $760,000, with 24h trading volume around $9 million, turnover more than ten times, meaning spot selling is happening.
My judgment: This is a volume-driven breakdown followed by sideways consolidation near the low. The 0.00259 4H low from the breakdown is the short-term boundary between bulls and bears—breaking below it targets around 0.0022, while reclaiming 0.0028 is needed to talk about stopping the decline.
Do you think the 0.00259 level can still hold? $ZIL
