#TSMCOct15Earnings TSMC's revenue record was already known to the market before October 15. Treating the same fact as a sudden positive surprise on the earnings day might already be a step behind the rhythm.
The company announced on October 8 that September revenue increased by 54.6% year-over-year, but decreased by 0.6% month-over-month. This contrast is very interesting: strong long-term growth does not mean every month is higher than the previous one. Small monthly fluctuations are also insufficient to draw conclusions about the entire AI demand.
After the monthly revenue is disclosed in advance, the focus of the earnings report should move forward. How the next quarter's orders are arranged, which demands can be sustained, and whether customers are pulling orders ahead are all more informative than simply repeating the already public total amount.We tested 405 grids on ETC since 2020: 111 were liquidated and only 28 profited.
If ETC drops 40%, a long grid that bought between 19.6 and 18.0 ends at −36%, and below its range it does not operate.
The best with a drop less than 40%: long 1×, 20 levels at 3% → +45.7% in 6 years, +2.8% in 2026.
DCA gained +595%… with a 97% drop.
First choose how much you accept to lose.
This is not financial advice.
#ETC #GridTrading #DCA At 3 a.m., the kitchen fridge was still humming. I stared at my phone screen watching the news of the tokenized treasury repo transaction, nearly cutting my finger with the fillet knife in my hand. BNY Mellon put two-year U.S. Treasuries on a private ledger for Castle Securities and settled it within minutes, just before the overnight repo financing—what does this mean? It’s like you just finished making the broth, but before it even hits the stove, the customer has already finished drinking and left. In the past, U.S. Treasury collateral bounced back and forth between custodians and tri-party repo platforms like a serving window piled with a dozen cold dishes waiting for the clearinghouse to stamp and sign—by then, the food was spoiled. Now, the ledger turns tables in minutes, and the turnover rate of collateral speeds up from a "slow cooker" to a "wok stir-fry."
But don’t rush to add salt. Having cooked for thirty years, I know one thing well: the faster the heat, the more it tests the base flavor. This tokenized U.S. Treasury dish smells great, but it has two fatal steps. First, cross-platform liquidity—it's easy to pour beef bone broth into one pot, but if you want to pour from Platform A’s clay pot into Platform B’s stainless steel pot, who compensates for the spillage in between? On the Canton Network, DRW and Marex played the total return swap linked to the tokenized bond index quite well, but whether the broth of this dish can freely switch pots determines if it’s a main course or just a garnish. Second, the heat of compliance and risk control—the amount of regulatory seasoning decides the customer base. Ondo’s three tokenized treasury products broke 3 billion in scale, showing the diners approve, but once the scale grows, the kitchen workflow, fridge temperature, and serving order all need rearranging. If one cutting board isn’t properly sanitized, the whole table of guests has to leave.
Let me break down the proportions for you. Tokenized treasuries, repos, and money market fund tokens are the real main courses—like Australian beef or East Star grouper in quality: steady, chewy, and able to hold the scene. They shouldn’t just be shrunk to the plate’s edge as decoration. As for those scraps claiming "on-chain U.S. Treasury yields," most are MSG-mixed broths—smelling fresh but leaving you dry after drinking. The super spicy chili? That’s the leverage and circular collateral stacked on top—staking U.S. Treasury tokens to borrow stablecoins to buy more U.S. Treasury tokens. This "self-spicing" play, a little adds aroma, too much burns your gut, and at 3 a.m., you’ll be kneeling at the cold storage door regretting it.
The real trick isn’t who got on-chain first, but whether the collateral’s "table turnover rate" can be raised and financing costs truly lowered. It’s like kitchen workflow design: shortening the distance between the serving window and stove by two meters speeds up serving by 30%, but if hot and cold food paths cross, a food safety incident is inevitable. Tokenization compresses settlement time from T+1 to minutes; the saved time is saved heat, and saved heat is saved cost. But if cross-platform interoperability, custodian trust anchors, or regulatory snapshot consistency aren’t thoroughly done, the whole dish ends up undercooked.
My final taste of this broth: the ledger revolution in settlement speed is already on the stove, and the fire can’t be held back. #tokenizedtreasuryrepo$RIVER continues to be held, it has already broken 1, let's wait and see. A coin highly controlled by whale manipulators, be cautious when bottom-fishing.

$BTC $ETH #美国CPI超预期升至3.7%，今晚PPI再迎考验 Crypto exchanges are starting to buy banks. Don't just focus on which coin benefits; the real point to note is: they want to keep your money entirely within their own ecosystem.
Kraken's parent company Payward announced the acquisition of Lithuania's Saldo Bank, pending regulatory approval, expected to complete in 2027.
Consider the business logic: previously, when you traded crypto on an exchange, fiat deposits/withdrawals, lending, and bank cards were separate processes. Now, platforms want to put cash, crypto assets, credit, and even tokenized stocks into one account.
For users, the experience might be more convenient; for platforms, the greater value is increasing user retention time and financial service revenue.
But don't equate "buying a bank" directly with "the platform is safer." The more complex the business, the more you need to look at client asset segregation, deposit protection, and regulatory boundaries.
The key to future exchange competition may not be who lists new coins fastest, but who can control the user's entire capital chain. Convenience or security—which are you willing to compromise on? The numbers on the monitor are still jumping, but the perfusion pressure can no longer hold. In this round of Strive's operation, what I’m watching isn’t how much it bought, but whether its myocardium can still contract autonomously—single transactions of 2,822 coins, about $235 million, total holdings pushed to 35,595 coins, with two rounds totaling 6,133 coins. This isn’t a small incision; this is a full open-chest surgery.
First, look at the circulatory system. It expects about $369 million in gross warrant income and will also issue SATS preferred shares with an annual cumulative dividend of 15%. What does 15% mean? This is like an extracorporeal circulation machine working for the heart; the machine spins, the person lives, but the myocardium is dormant. Preferred stock dividends are a mandatory outflow; regardless of BTC’s rise or fall, this 15% must be drawn from the vessels every year. Once BTC stagnates or declines, the dividends become a continuous bleeding point, while common shareholders receive the residual perfusion after dividends are paid first—the BTC content per share is either diluted by new issuance or slowly drained by fixed dividends.
Next, look at Metaplanet. A zero-coupon convertible bond of 52 billion yen, with a clearly stated purpose: to repay BTC mortgage loans and repurchase shares. Zero-coupon means no interest burden in the short term, but principal must be repaid at maturity. This replaces short-term pressure with a long-term tumor located in the mediastinum; it doesn’t hurt now, but it’s there. And using BTC as collateral for loans is equivalent to mortgaging the heart to exchange for blood—price drops trigger margin calls, causing acute cardiac tamponade, blood can’t return, heartbeat stops suddenly, forced to sell coins to repay debt, the more you sell, the more it falls, the more it falls, the more you sell.
Strategy’s preference for STRC buybacks shares the same logic: using financing tools to maintain the coin content per share, betting that financing costs are lower than BTC appreciation. This is a complex bypass performed under extracorporeal circulation; if the surgeon’s hand is steady, it works, but a tremble causes anastomotic bleeding.
Three surgeries, the same risk exposure: they all assume BTC’s long-term slope is upward and volatility is controllable. But in real vital signs, BTC’s blood pressure is paroxysmal. Financing can increase coin content per share—on the premise that financing costs are lower than coin price gains and there is no forced liquidation. Once entering a downtrend, leverage is not an amplifier but a defibrillator repeatedly shocking an already ischemic heart, each shock consuming the last myocardial reserve.
My judgment is simple: this is not balance sheet expansion; it is gradually replacing its own myocardium with an external pump, showing good short-term blood pressure but questionable long-term autonomous heart rate. #striveholdsover35kbtc$LAB Continue holding or bearish? Bull-bear ratio. Bottom-fishing again, be cautious when bottom-fishing. This is strongly controlled by a dog whale.

On-chain core signals: In the past 7 days of actual balance changes, Gate balance surged 127.63%, Bitget increased 51.28%, MEXC increased 9.2%, CoinEx increased 10.79%.
The main force is massively shifting chips to exchanges like Gate, combined with the top 10 holders (Gate cold wallet 11.6%, Gnosis Safe team/investors over 18% in total), the selling pressure signal is extremely clear.
$BTC $ETH #TSMC Q3 revenue hits a new high, profit performance to be revealed On the radar echo map, a strong convective cloud cluster codenamed "ASML" has just set a new historical record—the third quarter precipitation equivalent to €11.662 billion, with 57.5% humidity saturation far exceeding the forecast lower limit. This should have been a signal of clear skies, yet ground stations recorded a sudden 3.9% drop in stock wind speed, and the entire chip basin is shrouded by a low-pressure trough.
As someone who has been watching weather maps for twenty years, I must say: this is not an ordinary shower; it’s a battle between a high-pressure ridge and a shear line. CEO Fu Guicheng’s words are like data transmitted from a high-altitude weather balloon—between 2027 and 2028, cumulonimbus clouds of artificial intelligence and advanced processes may exceed the current water vapor transport capacity. More dangerously, customers are already inquiring about procurement plans for 2029 to 2030, but no formal orders have been placed yet. It’s like someone pointing at a satellite cloud map five days ahead asking if a typhoon will make landfall, but the tropical disturbance hasn’t even been numbered yet.
The Q4 revenue forecast is €1.42 to €1.52 billion, with the full-year guidance lower bound raised—the water vapor flux is indeed strengthening. But the problem lies in the inversion layer: if demand cannot condense from "inquiries" into "orders," the 2028 expansion plan will remain just a theoretical sounding on a weather balloon—no matter how high it rises, if it can’t land, it’s all for nothing.
Currently, this cloud system is stuck at the jet exit region; to the left is valuation high pressure, to the right is order low pressure, and strong convective weather could be triggered near the front at any time. The chip sector’s overall wind speed is weakening, with downstream cyclones like AMD taking the brunt first; heavy rain warning signals have already been raised.
I have seen this kind of situation too many times. In atmospheric circulation, the most dangerous are often not the typhoons already formed, but those disturbances that look loose on satellite cloud maps yet quietly accumulate latent heat. ASML is now like such a system—the radar echo intensity is off the charts, but the central pressure is not low enough, and the eyewall has not yet closed. Wall Street’s gusts have already arrived; the 3.9% drop is just the peripheral spiral rainbands sweeping through.
Whether it can shift from "climate forecast" to "weather reality" depends on whether those cumulonimbus clouds in 2027 really drop the raindrops of orders. If they don’t fall, even the best humidity conditions are just a beautiful climate map. If they do fall, once the eyewall closes and pressure drops sharply, the entire semiconductor basin will have to reissue a high wind warning.
Current circulation situation: demand latent heat is sufficient, but vertical wind shear is large, suppressing convective development. Ground order stations have not yet observed sustained east winds. It is recommended to closely monitor the closure of the water vapor transport channel from 2027 to 2028. #asmlq3revenuerecord#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Netflix's earnings report is coming soon, can advertising save the day?
Netflix will release its Q3 earnings after the market closes on October 20, and this report is quite critical. After all, the stock price has dropped significantly this year, and the market is watching closely to see if there will be any surprises.
First, the basics: the company expects Q3 revenue to be about $12.86 billion, up roughly 12% year-over-year, with an operating margin of 33.2%, slightly better than the same period last year. The numbers look okay, but growth has definitely slowed down and is not as strong as before.
So where's the new story? Advertising business.
Currently, Netflix's ad-supported plan has reached 250 million monthly active users globally, and ad sales in the U.S. have nearly doubled. The advertising revenue target for next year is set at $3 billion. It sounds impressive, but honestly, advertising only accounts for about 6% of total revenue right now and can't carry the business yet.
What Wall Street really cares about is whether the ad inventory is fully filled and how CPM prices are trending. These are the key factors to determine if the advertising business can really take off.
Netflix's forward P/E ratio has dropped to around 21 times, and the market worries about slowing growth in the core business and the new business not yet picking up. So whether this rebound is a real recovery or just a false alarm will be revealed on October 20.
In short: if the earnings report shows good advertising data and the full-year guidance holds steady, Netflix can still tell a story; if the performance is mediocre, the market will likely continue to struggle.$PONS continue holding; the overall trend is still bearish. Small positions, low leverage for trading, more margin.
Long-short ratio: Retail and large holders are all stubbornly holding long positions.
Binance retail long-short ratio is 1.5082, OKX retail long-short ratio is 1.72.
For large holders: the number of large holders long-short ratio is 2.0066, and the large holders' position long-short ratio is as high as 2.2443.
Project fundamentals and on-chain data: Market makers are frantically depositing to exchanges (major selling pressure signal!).
PONS is the leading Launchpad on Robinhood Chain, with 80% of protocol fees used for buyback and burn, and it is already 100% fully circulating.
But according to Arkham on-chain data, the past 7 days of entity balance changes released an extremely clear selling pressure signal: Wintermute balance surged 108.21%,
Kraken increased 71.11%,
CoinSpot increased 75.21%,
LBank increased 22.66%.
Market makers are moving a large amount of chips to exchanges, combined with frequent exchange deposit actions, short-term selling pressure is extremely heavy.
$BTC $ZEC #US CPI unexpectedly rose to 3.7%, tonight PPI faces another test 大盘还在给CPI还钱，RSR却连拉第三天，Upbit这碗饭还能吃几口？
比特币趴8.1万、ETH跌2.7%，RSR（Reserve Rights）却逆势+10%冲到0.00218，成了涨幅榜上除ZK外最扎眼的那个。
但得说清楚，这不是今天的新故事。真正的导火索是10月12日Upbit给它开放了KRW和USDT交易对，韩国散户一拥而上，当天一根线拉了五六十个点；再叠加9月社区投票改成绩效解锁加销毁的供给收缩预期。今天这+10%更像上线后第三天的余温反抽，我翻了一圈没看到新增利好。
我的判断：新所上线第一口肉最香，第三天再去追，往往就是给前两批人抬轿。欧易这个盘24小时成交额才140多万USDT，主战场其实在Upbit韩元盘，欧易只是跟涨的薄盘口，RSI已经67、价格贴着布林上轨，易拉也易砸，滑点和插针都会咬人。
盯两个信号：能不能放量站稳0.0022前高且韩盘量能不塌；一旦韩币买力退潮、缩量冲高，基本就是短线兑现窗口。DYOR，非投资建议。
#RSR #稳定币 #UpbitNetflix's earnings report tonight, market hype focuses on: advertising business growth + new subscriber recovery.
But streaming benefits are historically easy to realize and then decline; looking only at revenue can be misleading. Tonight's key observations are three points:
New paid subscribers, operating profit margin, Q4 performance guidance
Positive logic: continuous penetration of ad packages, monetization of account sharing, overall cash flow improvement.
Hidden risks: high content costs, competition diversion, lack of hit shows leading to weak new additions.
Market consensus expectations
Revenue ≈ 12.9 billion, EPS ≈ 0.82, net margin 32%, new subscribers ≈ 4.5 million
Three earnings scenarios
Neutral (highest probability)
Data basically meets expectations, Q4 guidance is conservative.
Market: slight gap up with fluctuations, mainly rising then falling.
Action: do not chase highs, reduce positions on rallies, no new longs.
Better than expected (positive)
Subscribers, margins, and ad revenue all exceed expectations, Q4 guidance raised.
Market: after-hours surge.
Action: do not chase the rise, wait for stabilization next day to reassess.
Below expectations (negative)
New subscribers weak, margin declines, Q4 guidance lowered.
Market: rapid plunge.
Action: avoid long positions directly, no bottom fishing or speculation.
Key hidden observation points
1. Whether advertising ARPU is shrinking (inflated subscribers is a hidden negative)
2. Whether free cash flow is under pressure
3. Q4 guidance determines mid-term trend
Netflix's earnings are highly volatile; avoid heavy positions betting on the outcome in advance. #NetflixGrowthMaySlow, advertising business becomes a new focus Just now: Uniswap launched the VolatilePair dynamic fee Hook on the Ethereum mainnet, with the first supported trading pair being ETH/USDC. Such moves usually do not affect the price of $UNI, but Ajian knows that many new LPs have recently joined, so he especially reminds everyone that although dynamic fees have the potential to improve LP efficiency, the parameter design and governance permissions will also become more complex.
Most traders providing liquidity probably won't use dynamic fees, but since Uniswap v4 starts to more actively link AMM fees, price deviation, and LP earnings together, if you want to go further, you should proactively understand the fee formula, impermanent loss, governance permissions, and handling of extreme market conditions.三个数字，别急着照单全收
$INJ 看到“回购”，我会先问，谁拿币出来，谁拿收入回去？
它的社区回购允许参与者提交INJ，按比例领取生态收入，提交的INJ随后销毁。
所以普通持有人，并不是拿着币就能自动收到这笔收入。
我更关心每轮收入从哪里来、能持续多久。机制把收入和代币联系起来了，但联系有多强，还得看实际规模，不能只凭“回购”两个字提高预期。
$APT 则要留意质押数量的含义。
官方代币说明中，锁定和未锁定的代币都可以参与质押。
这意味着质押率高，不一定都是流通市场上的买家主动减少卖出。
我会把锁定安排和质押情况分开研究。否则把两者重复当成供应收紧，就容易高估它的作用。
$SHIB 我觉得销毁涨幅尤其需要看基数。
假设前一天销毁很少，第二天多几倍，百分比会很抢眼，但占总供应的比例可能仍然很小。
因此我会先看实际销毁数量，再看持续时间。
偶尔一次大幅增加，可以带来讨论；连续几个月减少多少供应，才更适合用来判断长期影响。数字很热闹，意义还得自己算。Reconciliation first: Last night I watched 81,600–82,800 to see if it could hold; this morning I watched 81,400 to see if it could stand, if not then 80,400. At noon BTC was 80,920, 24-hour low was 80,228. 81,400 didn't hold, 80,400 is being tested. The direction is all correct, the drop is faster than expected. One sentence this morning: CPI is a bit hot (September YoY 3.7%, expected 3.6%; core MoM 0.3%, expected 0.2%), the market starts betting on the Fed raising rates three more times. BTC -3.3%, ETH -5.83% dropped below 2,400, SOL -4.65%. The glaring thing is the fee rate: BTC last night 0.0089%, this morning 0.00416%, now 0.00215%. The bulls' willingness to pay has collapsed by three-quarters in one day. Price broke below 81,000, fees have not turned negative yet, shorts are also spending money to chase shorts. Open interest of 30,686 coins remains high, both sides are paying fees, the divergence is intensifying. Judgment #22: In the afternoon, only watch if 80,400 (October 9 low) can be reclaimed. If held, 80,400–81,600 will consolidate; if not, the 80,000 round number will appear. Falsification is definite: if before 21:15 tonight it reclaims 81,600 and holds, the bearish bias is invalidated, and the opening chapter tomorrow night will acknowledge it. Fear and greed index 48, neutral. Sentiment is not yet panicked, the desperate sell-off candle has not come. This afternoon, will you act or hold back?Lost $12 million in 7 days, account left with only $150,000, Maji is back to square one
A month and a half ago, his account was $150,000.
Then: 150,000 → 12,000,000 → 800,000 → 10,000,000 → 1,000,000 → 560,000 → 150,000.
Went full circle, back to the starting point.
And in this month and a half, he paid $1.36 million just in funding fees.
But now it’s even more dangerous than "back to square one"

台积电的营收纪录，10月15日之前市场就已经知道了。到财报当天再把同一件事当成突然降临的利好，节奏可能已经慢了一步。
公司10月8日公布，9月营收同比增长54.6%，环比下降0.6%。这个反差很有意思：长期增长很强，并不意味着每个月都比上个月更高。单月的小幅变化，也不足以替整个AI需求下结论。
月度营收提前披露以后，财报的看点就要往前挪。下一季订单如何安排，哪些需求可以持续，客户是否提前拉货，都比重复念一遍已经公开的总额更有信息量。
电话会上，我尤其想听订单的时间分布。如果客户为了锁住供应，把后面的需求提前下单，和最终使用需求同步扩大，对未来几个季度的意义就不同。现在还不能确认是哪种情况。这一问值得留着。
看好台积电，没必要要求每个环节都只有好消息。强公司也会遇到订单节奏变化。真正让我警惕的是，大家越来越需要更大的增长数字才能满意，却没人问下一季还能拿什么超出预期。这次财报，我想多听一点后续安排，少听一点对已有纪录的庆祝。 历史上这个时间段跌了45%

#BTC现货ETF再度净流出，机构买盘能否回暖？ At 1:30 PM, the market continues to fall. After last night's CPI, I said to wait until the spike is over before taking action. Now it seems the spike is still halfway up the mountain.
$BTC broke below 82,000, hitting a low of 80,168, now around 81,050. $ETH is weaker, dropping from 2,537 straight down to 2,315, now at 2,359. $SOL also fell below 105, bottoming at 100.46, now at 102.2.
The long-short ratio is the most critical: SOL is now 2.68, ETH 2.66, BTC 1.88; bulls are still very crowded. Funding rates remain negative, the cost for bulls holding positions is getting higher. The price has dropped so much, yet bulls haven't fully exited, which itself is a risk.
Open interest is also decreasing: BTC dropped from 2.58 billion to 2.4 billion, ETH from 1.5 billion to 1.35 billion, SOL from 337 million to 309 million. Although there was some intraday rebound, overall positions are being reduced. On active trading volume, selling pressure has consistently outweighed buying.
I still have no positions and don't plan to catch the fall at this level. I'll wait until this stampede fully blows over and the market consolidates with lower volume before considering small position trial trades.
Remember these key support levels below: BTC 80,000, if lost then look at 78,000; ETH 2,300, if lost then look at 2,200; SOL 100, if lost then look at 95.
Are you getting liquidated or watching empty-handed?
#US CPI unexpectedly rose to 3.7%, tonight PPI faces another test
#BTC spot ETF continuous outflows
#ETH fluctuates after hitting $2,500 #TSMCOct15Earnings بعد الكشف المسبق عن الإيرادات الشهرية، يجب أن تنتقل نقاط التركيز في التقرير المالي إلى الأمام. كيف سيتم ترتيب الطلبات للربع القادم، وما هي الطلبات التي يمكن أن تستمر، وهل قام العملاء بالطلب المسبق، كلها معلومات أكثر قيمة من تكرار المبالغ الإجمالية التي تم الإعلان عنها بالفعل.
في المؤتمر الهاتفي، أود بشكل خاص سماع توزيع مواعيد الطلبات. إذا قام العملاء بالطلب المسبق لتأمين الإمدادات، وتزامن ذلك مع زيادة الطلب الفعلي، فسيكون لذلك معنى مختلف للأرباع القادمة. The most easily misjudged aspect of this downturn is thinking that "after a drop, it's time for altcoins to catch up." But have you noticed that when ETH weakens, many small-cap coins don't even bother to rebound? My own position isn't large, so I can still hold through this pullback, but when I see $ETH going down, my heart still skips a beat. Those with large positions standing at the peak probably feel even colder. The same goes for $BTC — it looks stable on the surface, but internally it's not easy. What concerns me more isn't how much it has dropped, but that the sector strength has already changed. The heat around $STRK has clearly cooled; it no longer has that sharp momentum to soar with a single surge. TSMC's Q3 revenue hit a record high, but profits haven't been announced yet; US September CPI year-over-year is 3.7%, with core inflation exceeding expectations; Netflix growth may slow, and its advertising business has become a new focus. These traditional market signals are quietly influencing crypto risk appetite. The bullish logic is: if CPI doesn't continue to spiral out of control and BTC can hold steady, funds might flow back into ETH and quality altcoins, especially those with real narratives and ecosystem support. The bearish risk is: core inflation exceeding expectations will push back rate cut expectations, strengthen the dollar, pressure risk assets, and make altcoins more likely to lose attention. What the market is trading now isn't just whether rates will be cut, but "who can remain strong under high pressure." Sector strength matters more than index rises or falls. The cooling of $STRK's heat indicates short-term funds are contracting, not expanding. ETH is weak, BTC is stable, altcoins are diverging, #TSMCOct15Earnings
Q3 revenue is old news. The real focus is Q4 guidance and rising capex.
The market wants to see stronger growth, not just numbers that meet expectations. If guidance comes in line while spending keeps rising, investors may see it as a disappointment.
Sometimes, meeting expectations isn’t enough.CoreWeave's backlog exceeded $100B, yet its 2032 bond yield briefly topping 15% shows investors are discounting the path from contracted demand to cash generation. With roughly $52.1B in debt and lease liabilities, data-center delivery now matters as much as order growth. Inflation and weaker tech sentiment may keep that funding test unforgiving.
#CoreWeaveStockBondDrop People feel refreshed when good things happen, very refreshed.

The NU7 mainnet upgrade won't go live until at least November 5, and the decision to deploy will only be made on October 20. The positive news was already fully priced in by the sharp rise in September.
The most ironic thing is that a whale built a position at 425 two months ago and dumped all 25,001 ZEC a few days ago, making a profit of 27 million without looking back.
From a technical perspective, the 4-hour EMA5, 10, and 20 are all diverging downward, with the price tightly suppressed by the moving averages, and each rebound's high point visibly decreasing.
I never advise people to follow trades blindly, just laying out the facts here. The support below is first at 1080, and if broken, then 1000.

#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes a new focus On-chain sell-off of 6 million, purchases only a bit over 1 million, yet the token price is rising. Who the heck is buying? Let's take a look at the data!
Data changes of the top 40 holders of #我踏马来了 on 2026.10.15
alpha: inflow of 11 million tokens
gate5: no change
gate1: outflow of 800,000 tokens
mexc: inflow of 0 tokens
New entries in top 40: 3 people total, 1 new position opened, 2 normal increases
Dropped out of top 40: 3 people total, all 3 reduced positions, among them 2 both increased and decreased
Top 40 increased positions: 0 people total
Top 40 reduced positions: 4 people total, all reduced positions
$我踏马来了 Daily Key Summary:
This time, 3 new addresses entered the top 40, with one opening a new position by buying. Three addresses dropped out of the top 40 and reduced their holdings, one nearly liquidated, and two reduced slightly. Total sell-off is about 3 million tokens. No one in the top 40 increased positions, 4 reduced positions totaling about 3 million tokens. Binance alpha exchange saw an inflow of 11 million tokens. Overall market fluctuation is minimal. The token price has risen about 15% since the last statistics. On-chain data shows a total sell-off of about 6 million tokens, purchases about a bit over 1 million, yet the token price rose. So the question arises: who bought the extra 5 million tokens and even pushed the token price up by 15%? Although an address suspected to be bg bought 4 million tokens, it cannot absorb the sell-off and cause the price to rise alone. Therefore, it is speculated that a user within a certain exchange is buying, but it cannot be confirmed which one at this time.#US September CPI rises to 3.7%
[Old Leek Observation] The US CPI has risen to 3.7%, and what Bitcoin will face next is a renewed warming of interest rate expectations.
In September, the overall US CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, higher than last month's 3.4%; month-on-month it increased by 0.6%. Core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year, with a 0.3% month-on-month increase. This data indicates that inflationary pressure is rising again, but it should also be noted that gasoline prices rose 9.1% in a single month, which is an important reason for the overall inflation increase this round.
Why does the crypto community need to watch this report? If inflation continues to exceed expectations, the Federal Reserve will find it harder to easily pivot to rate cuts and may even reconsider rate hikes. Rising interest rate expectations usually put pressure on risk assets like BTC and ETH.
However, I don't think a CPI rise to 3.7% necessarily means Bitcoin must fall. The key lies in how much rate hike expectations the market has already priced in, and how US Treasury yields and the dollar react next.
I will be watching two signals next:
First, whether US Treasury yields continue to rise; second, whether BTC can hold recent support during declines and reclaim key resistance levels during rebounds.
If the dollar and yields continue to strengthen, BTC's rebounds may face more selling pressure; if the market has already priced in the inflation downside, prices may stabilize, indicating that funds may have already traded the worst expectations in advance. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins [ANALYSIS] Netflix Q3 Financial Picture: Balancing Act Between Advertising Segment and Operating Margin 📈🍿
The market is focusing on Netflix's Q3 earnings report, where two core factors—Advertising Segment (Ads) and Operating Margins—continue to be the guiding compass shaping the company's value.
Here are 3 strategic highlights you can't miss around the hashtag #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins:As shown in the chart, this is the recent 4-hour structure of ETH, spanning about twenty days.
The previous rebound peak stopped at 2,579, stuck between EMA55 and EMA200, unable to advance further. After that, the rhythm changed: the highs moved from 2,579 to 2,538, then 2,530, each lower than the last — a stepwise decline in highs is the most direct evidence of a downtrend structure.
The previous two pullbacks both found support and stopped falling around 2,406-2,409, forming a double bottom. The market once thought this level was stable. But today, a high-volume long bearish candle pierced through the double bottom, hitting a near one-month low at 2,318, followed only by a slight rebound.
The cycles are layered. On the 4-hour chart, EMA20, EMA55, and EMA200 are all above the price, forming a complete bearish alignment; on the daily chart, since that long upper shadow candle, the trend has continuously weakened, with the broader background also turning bearish. When both cycles align in direction, trading against the smaller cycle only causes trouble.
My bias: after the breakdown, follow the bearish momentum.
Trigger conditions: a rebound to 2,406-2,409 (previous double bottom, which turns from support to resistance after breaking) or pressure and pullback around EMA20 at about 2,469 is considered confirmation of a valid breakdown and continuation of the trend.
Stop loss: if the 4-hour close moves back above around 2,530 (the recent two highs), this bearish bias is invalidated.
Targets: first watch if the 2,318 low can extend downward; below that is the 2,300 round number, then further down around 2,221 — the starting point of this rally.
Why this view: the breakdown was on high volume, with two long bearish candles last night and this morning showing obvious volume; lower highs, double bottom broken, bearish moving average alignment, and daily chart weakening all point to the same direction.
Risks: today’s high-volume sell-off may lead to a short-term oversold rebound; a rebound confirmation after a double bottom break is common, and only a rebound failing at resistance counts. Also, the current ATR is about 2%, so stop loss distance should be set according to volatility, not fixed points for all assets.
Judgment can wait for confirmation, but position sizing cannot. Position sizing based on loss means first knowing where to admit being wrong, then considering how far the trade can go if right. #US CPI unexpectedly rises to 3.7%, tonight's PPI faces another test; KOSPI falls over 8% in the morning: this is not a "correction," but Korean assets being hit simultaneously by "AI faith + presidential crisis + foreign capital withdrawal"
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) extended its decline to 8%, at one point falling over 8.5% intraday to hit its lowest level since 2025. The Korean won weakened in tandem, and the three-year government bond yield surged — this is not ordinary "profit-taking," but a systemic tremor caused by the combination of semiconductor weight, political risk, and leveraged funds stampede.
Three forces squeezing together:
AI chain coalition breaks up: Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix account for nearly 30% of KOSPI's weight. The US semiconductor index has fallen six consecutive times, and HBM valuations are questioned with "whether customers borrowing to buy GPUs is worth it," causing Korea's narrative as the "global AI memory supplier" to crack first; Samsung is caught between HBM lagging, foundry yield issues, and storage cycle peaking. When the leader shudders, the index falls first.
Blue House drama returns: President Lee Jae-myung faces a pincer attack from opposition parties with "special investigations + impeachment," and the justice minister turmoil remains unresolved. The market fears a "policy vacuum + chaebol regulation backlash," and foreign capital hates uncertainty the most, selling first and asking questions later.
Leveraged positions self-destruct: Korean retail investors, the "ant army," heavily hold semiconductor ETFs on margin accounts, reversing to full positions and catching the falling knife. The 8% drop triggered margin calls → forced liquidations → further declines, almost the same script as the "9% intraday drop and circuit breaker" on August 8, 2024. ETH's liquidation volume today has surpassed BTC, becoming the hardest hit area for leverage.
What happened? Over the past 24 hours, the entire market saw liquidations exceeding $1 billion. ETH liquidations were about $360 million, less than BTC's $480 million, but the proportion of long positions is alarming—ETH long liquidations reached $146 million, while shorts were only $83.73 million, meaning those who went long were wiped out the worst. The largest single liquidation occurred on Binance ETHUSDT, valued at $11.99 million.
Why is this noteworthy? This is not an ordinary pullback. ETH dropped 9.8% over seven days, with 83% of liquidations coming from longs, far exceeding the 58% median for similar past periods. Long leverage was systematically cleared, but below 2319 there remains $703 million in long liquidation pressure, and above 2548 short liquidations reach as high as $1.264 billion. Both sides are volatile.
Which observation is more supported? After long liquidation cascades, chips are transferring from high-leverage gamblers. This is not a trend reversal, but a position reshuffle.
Keep an eye on 2319. If it holds, conditions for a short squeeze will start to build. Who was the one who got lifted at the last second in that $11.99 million liquidation? $ETH #TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profit performance to be revealed $PONS challenges turning 100u into 10,000u
025 predicts there will be a rebound
Whales hold large long positions, but the market is filled with many small and medium short sellers, and combined, the total short capital slightly leads.
In this structure, if the $BTC market stops falling, its rebound potential will be stronger than $LAB; but if BTC continues to decline, coins that surged earlier will also experience sharp drops.
#美国CPI超预期升至3.7%，今晚PPI再迎考验 #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 BTC broke below 81000, over $1 billion in leverage liquidated with one click.
What happened? BTC crashed from above 84000 to 80241, with 166,769 people liquidated in 24 hours, totaling $1.16 billion, of which longs accounted for $1 billion—almost all long positions were wiped out. ETH was even worse, with $324 million liquidated in 24 hours, more than BTC's $240 million.
Why is this worth attention? Long positions accounted for 87%, this is not shorts actively attacking, but longs trampling themselves. Short-term holders transferred over 50,000 BTC to exchanges within 24 hours, 59% of which were transferred at a loss, the largest in nearly four months. The largest buy order cluster on Binance is absorbing at 81000-81250.
Which observation is more supported? This is a passive deleveraging of leveraged longs, not a confirmed trend reversal. Money is moving from weak hands to strong hands.
Keep an eye on whether the buy orders at 81250 can hold. If they hold, the loss pressure from short-term holders can be absorbed.
Are those 50,000 BTC transferred at a loss to exchanges panic selling or strategic positioning? $BTC #TSMCOct15Earnings TSMC's revenue was known in the market before October 15. When the same matter is treated as a surprising positive news on the financial report day, the timing might be a step late.
The company announced on October 8 that September revenue rose by 54.6% year-over-year and fell by 0.6% month-over-month. This variation is interesting: strong long-term growth does not necessarily mean every month is higher than the previous one. Minor monthly changes are not enough to conclude the demand for AI as a whole.
After the monthly revenue pre-disclosure, BTC dropped directly from above 84,000 to 80,241 today, currently at 81,204, down 2.76% in 24 hours, with the 1-minute MACD showing a death cross below the zero line.
What happened? The US September CPI year-on-year was 3.7%, core CPI 2.6%, both exceeding expectations. The probability of a rate hike in October surged from 22% to over 44%, the 10-year US Treasury yield shot up to 5.3%, and the dollar approached 103. As a non-interest-bearing asset, BTC was directly pressured down by the high interest rate expectations.
Why is this worth attention? But there is a divergence in capital flow. On October 13, ETFs just had a net inflow of 176 million, and BlackRock's IBIT single-day inflow was 209 million. Whale holdings also rose to 3.03 million coins, hitting an 11-month high, with a 30-day growth rate the fastest since February. On one hand, macro is dumping, on the other, big money is buying; however, Coinbase premium index fell to the lowest since July, indicating US institutional buying is withdrawing.
Which observation is more supported? The macro bearish driver is a deleveraging of long positions, not a confirmed trend reversal. There is support around 80,241, but volume did not expand, indicating a weak balance after an event-driven sharp drop.
Watch the 80,000 round number and whether ETF funds continue to flow in tonight. If 80,000 holds and ETFs continue inflows, conditions for a short squeeze are accumulating.
That 377 million USD whale transfer dormant for 6 years is still pending on-chain. $BTC #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 TSMC's Q3 revenue reached approximately 1.49 trillion New Taiwan Dollars (about 46.7 billion USD), a year-on-year increase of about 50%. This not only set a historical record but also exceeded the company's own guidance upper limit of 44.6–45.8 billion USD and the market consensus of 1.46 trillion, demonstrating strong substance. The core driver is the continued surge in AI computing power demand, with strong orders for advanced processes from customers like Nvidia and Apple, combined with new smartphone inventory buildup, indicating that the AI capital expenditure wave has not yet peaked. However, revenue is already clear; the market focus shifts to the profit quality in the October 15 financial report: the gross margin guidance of 65%–67% is a slight decline from Q2's 67.7%, with overseas factory construction and 2nm mass production ramp-up potentially diluting profits. What truly determines the stock price direction is the Q4 guidance, whether capital expenditure will be increased, and the visibility of AI orders in 2027. If the guidance only meets expectations, the high valuation might instead trigger profit-taking.$XRP is bearish, down 4.58% in 24 hours, with no signs of a bottom yet. This round is a process of long leverage being squeezed out. Long positions were forcibly liquidated for $5.84 million, while shorts only $200,000; during the decline, almost no shorts were forced to cover, and the price dropped along with long stop losses. The rebound volume contraction matches this, as the liquidated longs did not return, and new entries are thin. The funding rate just turned negative, but this is only background information and not used to judge direction. The current price of 1.3074 is not far from the intraday low of 1.2831 and is close to the previous low. The long stop losses in this area were already swept in the previous round, with the remaining stops hanging below the previous low; once broken, they will trigger in a chain reaction, making a new low highly probable. Conditions for a bullish reversal: the price must reclaim and hold above the intraday high of 1.3863, indicating the squeeze is over and new funds are willing to take over; otherwise, this judgment is invalid.ETH一根针扎到2318，24小时跌了5.69%，现报2364。
发生了什么？ ETH从2529高点直接砸穿2400，最低探至2318，1分钟级别插针后快速收回，留下长下影线。
为什么值得关注？ 这不是单纯的下跌——同期ETF已连续10个交易日流出，9月底以来撤了7到8亿美元。但10月13日ETF突然转为净流入2480万，灰度在托。一边是机构止血回流，一边是巨鲸向交易所充值1.8万枚ETH的真实抛压。更关键的是，2319下方聚集着7.03亿美元多单清算强度，而上方2548处空单清算高达12.64亿美元——多空都被架在火上。
更支持哪种观察？ 插针后迅速收回，说明2318附近有承接，但成交量并未放大。这更像洗完杠杆后的弱震荡，不是趋势反转。
接下来盯住两个位置：2319守不守，以及ETF资金能否连续两天净流入。守住且资金持续回来，空头才有被挤压的条件。
巨鲸在卖，机构在买，谁在接那1.8万枚ETH的货？$ETH 比特币资金流突然掉头，但有个数据对不上
上周现货BTC ETF净流出6.81亿美元，四个月来最差。但10月13日单日净流入1.757亿美元，直接逆转。更巧的是，链上监测到某巨鲸通过Wintermute一笔买入1162枚BTC，价值9677万美元。
发生了什么？ ETF资金从大幅流出迅速转为强劲流入，同时出现大额链上买盘。
为什么值得关注？ 钱在回来，但杠杆交易者却在加码做空——BTC八小时资金费率已跌至-0.0044%，空头在向多头付费，创九个月新低。恐惧贪婪指数却仍在55-63的贪婪区间。一边是资金回流，一边是衍生品押注下跌，情绪却还没降温。
更支持哪种观察？ 这种背离通常意味着衍生品市场已经提前定价了现货尚未完全反映的卖压，而不是趋势确认。资金回来了，但敢加杠杆的人反而少了，这更像仓位出清后的试探期。
接下来盯住81,000美元。如果守住且负费率持续，空头回补的条件会逐步积累；如果跌破，负费率只是在确认价格已经说过的话。

#TSMCOct15Earnings Kraken's parent company Payward officially announced the acquisition of Lithuania's Saldo Bank (pending regulatory approval, expected to close in 2027) — the first time in crypto history that a crypto company has acquired a European banking license in reverse. Deposits, loans, credit cards, and euro payments are all integrated, allowing customers to use crypto as collateral to borrow money without selling their coins. Yesterday, banks were queuing to open crypto channels; today, a crypto company directly bought a bank: in this war, offense and defense have switched roles. Today's lunch menu: The Big Three Set Meal, the last lunch before PPI🍽️
Appetizer: BTC cucumber salad. 81602 (-2.51%), fee rate 0.0058%, open interest 52.4 billion. Despite the drop, longs paid every bit of the tax—1.98 billion liquidations in 24 hours, mostly long orders. I took a bite: cold, chilling to the bone, even my teeth hurt.
Main course: ETH braised large intestine. 2384 (-5.11%), fee rate 0.0029% still positive, open interest 30.3 billion, liquidations 288 million even more than BTC. Down 5% and still paying to go long, these bulls really don't give up. But I noticed: Binance's ETH fee rate has turned negative at -0.0013%. Smart money at big exchanges is turning, while retail at smaller exchanges is still averaging down. This dish is all about the phrase "dead bulls."
Side dish: SOL garlic vermicelli. 102.99 (-3.95%), fee rate 0.0077% highest in the market, open interest 6.69 billion, liquidations 31.61 million with 92% longs. Fell less than BTC, paid more tax than anyone—SOL bulls are the most devout believers.
My takeaway: All three giants have positive fee rates, indicating bulls aren't dead yet; but Binance ETH turned negative, SOL longs got liquidated 92%, smart money is exiting, retail is holding on. Before the PPI release at 20:30 tonight, no adding positions, control your hands. BTC breaking 81000 looks at 80000, ETH 2350 is the bottom line, SOL 100 is the lifeline.
Waiter, the check please! Of course, during an expansion cycle flooded with liquidity, the more useless and harder to price something is, the higher it can be driven up; Wang Ning's POPMART follows this logic. But now that the interest rate hike cycle has just begun, POPMART has also come down from its high, so it's better to wait and see.
If the US really enters a recession and China enters deflation, then cash will become king. However, I don't think it will be that pessimistic; this wave still belongs to a normal correction after a high rise. Let's wait for APEC and G20 later.#HBM4 mass production: Can it drive SK Hynix's profits to new highs again? 【BTC Falls Below $81,000, Don't Rush to Call the Bottom, Even Macro Factors Are Adding Pressure This Time】
$BTC has fallen below $81,000, and it's not just the candlestick chart looking bad. The South Korean stock market is plummeting, the Nikkei is sharply down, and U.S. tech stocks are continuously retreating—risk assets are all taking hits together.
The U.S. September CPI exceeded expectations, bringing back concerns about interest rate hikes. The liquidity once hoped to come from rate cuts now needs to be reconsidered.
What’s even more painful is that on October 13, the U.S. spot BTC ETF still had a net inflow of $176 million, yet BTC couldn’t hold steady. The presence of funds buying the dip doesn’t mean the buying pressure is strong enough, nor does it mean the selling pressure has ended.
There’s no need to rush to guess the bottom now. First, watch if the $80,000 level can hold and whether ETFs continue to see inflows. If BTC recovers above $81,000 and spot funds keep warming up, this might just be a leverage liquidation; but if U.S. stocks keep falling and funds flow out again, $80,000 might not be a solid bottom.#韩股盘中跌近8%，全球科技股集体承压
This morning's plunge ultimately sent "Big Brother Maji" and a bunch of leveraged longs packing. BTC spiked just above 80,000, triggering $485 million in liquidations across the network within an hour, with longs liquidated for $464 million, ETH alone accounting for $200 million.
Huang Licheng rolled 56,000 up to 12.25 million in 4 months, but this wave of liquidation knocked him back to 21,800, basically wasting half a year of effort and even losing money. There's also a whale holding 352 million ETH longs now facing an unrealized loss close to 19 million, with only $60 left before liquidation—any further drop will trigger a precise blowout.
This is BTC's third time testing the 81,000 level, and the losses from each dip are actually decreasing, indicating panic selling is subsiding. More so, it's swing traders cutting losses and exiting rather than a full-blown crash. On the macro side, US inflation exceeding expectations is weighing on risk assets, but the crypto market's repeated support tests look more like clearing out floating chips to prepare for the next rally.
As for altcoins, no need to mention—ETH has dropped below 2,400, and smaller coins are bleeding heavily. But it's precisely at times like this that you need to focus on projects with real narratives and capital attention, rather than blindly bottom-fishing junk coins.
Now is definitely not the time to short; the 80,000 level has been tested three times. A break would mean a real crash, while holding means a fakeout. It's recommended to wait for stabilization signals, such as a strong bullish candle reclaiming 81,000 with volume, before considering scaling into longs. Keep positions light, as macro pressure remains. $ETH $BTC has dropped to around 80,000. Does this really count as a drop below value?
But if you look closely at the market, this correction is not an ordinary technical adjustment—CPI exceeded expectations at 3.7%, the Fed's rate cut expectations have been directly postponed, US Treasury yields are pressuring risk assets upward, and the macro environment of the crypto market has quietly changed.
The biggest contradiction now is: on one hand, ETFs are still maintaining net inflows, while on the other hand, nearly $940 million has been liquidated across the network in 24 hours, with long liquidations making up the vast majority. Buying depth is rapidly shrinking; previous support levels have turned directly into resistance. The ETH/BTC exchange rate is bottom searching, and around 2200 there is still a large amount of DeFi leveraged positions not yet liquidated.
The market is not lacking positive news, but rather sufficient liquidity to absorb it. Before seeing volume contraction and a clear end to selling pressure, rushing to bottom-fish is essentially catching a falling knife in a liquidity vacuum.
Instead of guessing the bottom, it's better to wait for the market to wash out the last batch of high-leverage longs. The true consensus bottom is never something you can snatch prematurely.
#美国CPI超预期升至3.7%，今晚PPI再迎考验 #USCPI3.7%PPIInFocus US September CPI year-on-year rose to 3.7%, core inflation exceeded expectations
That line last night fooled a lot of people.
The moment CPI was released, it pulled up, many took it as a sign that the bad news was over and chased in, but the bears smashed down directly from above, crashing all the way until morning.
Looking clearly on the four-hour chart: BTC dropped from 84,100 to 81,300; ETH hit the 2,400 door from 2,530; SNDK was the worst, nearly 9% in one day. Moving averages are in a bearish alignment, the descending channel is intact, the direction hasn't changed.
On the one-hour chart, it is now moving sideways at a low level. I don't consider this a bottom. It's just a breather after the drop, volume hasn't picked up—if real bottom-fishing money came in, the rebound wouldn't be this weak.
The idea is simple: look for short positions on the rebound, don't chase on the drop.
$BTC short around 82,600–82,900, first target 81,200–81,500, if 81,000 breaks then the next barrier is 80,000.
$ETH short at 2,455–2,475, target 2,390–2,405. It's even weaker than BTC; if 2,400 doesn't hold, look directly at 2,329.
$SNDK short at 1,405–1,425, target 1,345–1,360. After a 9% drop in one day, the rebound is most likely to deceive.
The initiative is in the bears' hands, don't fight them.
*The above is personal analysis only and does not constitute investment advice*#bastion pressures skyai over sol sales
[Old Leek Observation] Holding over 2 million $SOL, now only about 600,000 left! Major shareholder Bastion starts questioning SkyAI: Where exactly did the coins go?
This matter is more worth pondering than just a simple whale selling coins. SkyAI previously emphasized its Solana reserve strategy, disclosing in mid-September that it held over 2 million SOL. But in the latest document on October 13, the company revealed remaining holdings of about 600,000, a reduction of about 70% in just about a month.
The question arises: SkyAI previously said it sold about 1 million SOL, but subsequent documents show holdings further dropped to about 600,000. When was the remaining difference sold, at what price, and where did the funds go? Public information has not provided a complete explanation.
Bastion, holding about 9.99% of SkyAI shares, therefore challenges: demanding disclosure of transaction details, restructuring the board, and raising the $3 per share buyback offer to at least $3.50. Bastion states it will not participate in this buyback offer until the issues are resolved.
The most noteworthy aspect of this for SOL is that the corporate coin hoarding logic is being tested. If the company buys coins for long-term holding but sells a large amount of SOL to buy back its own stock, investors must reassess whether it is managing crypto asset reserves or adjusting its capital structure.#Korean stocks fell nearly 8% intraday, global tech stocks collectively under pressure
[Korean stocks are almost hitting the limit down, and the AI table is starting to settle accounts]
South Korea's KOSPI fell nearly 8% intraday, the Nikkei dropped over 4%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has declined for six consecutive trading days. This is no longer just a single chip company blowing up; funds are retreating together. Samsung $SAMSUNG and SK Hynix $SKHYNIX, core players in the AI industry chain, can't hold up, indicating the market's doubts go beyond just whether stock prices are expensive.
Foreign investors in South Korea net sold about $2.15 billion in one day, and semiconductor stocks fell significantly more than the broader market.
This issue is no longer just about the Federal Reserve possibly raising interest rates: AI servers and storage chips are expanding production, but financing costs are rising, and competition among Chinese memory manufacturers is intensifying. Money is starting to ask: how much of these investments can actually be recouped?
Crypto shouldn't rush to be a safe haven either. The Nasdaq fell 1.88%, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 4.3%, and when risk appetite contracts, BTC may also be sold off.
However, a decline in tech stocks does not mean the AI rally is completely over; TSMC's earnings report is the key test to see if demand is lagging.
What we are trading now is high valuations meeting high interest rates, so short-term risk contraction is the first consideration. If TSMC's performance and capital expenditures remain strong, it may just be a valuation bubble being squeezed; if orders and profit expectations also start to be revised downward, then this is not a story where you can just buy after the drop.
