Brothers, I've been watching $OKB for several days, and today this candle appeared, finally presenting a shorting opportunity.
First, let's look at the latest news: the positive factors for OKB have basically been exhausted. On October 6th, the OKX conference declared "the exchange is no longer the end point," causing OKB to jump from 119 to 134, but "conference day pumps" are often the peak of sentiment. The SEC's approval for tokenized stocks hasn't materialized yet, and Deloitte's audit is just routine. With catalysts realized, what's left is selling pressure. Looking at today's market, BTC and ETH are both rebounding, but OKB actually dropped 1.98%, clearly underperforming the market and showing obvious weakness.
Looking at the trend, the chart has already given the answer. OKB is currently around 122.59, failing to reach the 24-hour high of 129.82 before turning down, hitting a low of 120.82, with long upper and lower shadows. The daily technical rating is "sell," with 11 indicators bearish, and 9 out of 11 moving averages signaling sell. Both the EMA200 and SMA200 long-term moving averages are pressing above the price.
The capital side also doesn't support further rallies. The total OKB contract open interest across the network is only $26 million, a small market with thin liquidity, so even slight selling pressure can break it down. In this structure, any rebound is a shorting opportunity.
I entered a short at 122.59 directly, with a stop loss above 126. The first support to watch below is 118, and if it breaks, then 115. Don't chase longs, don't catch falling knives.
$BTC $ETH #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved After income increases, the accounts are not yet settled
For $ENA, this time I will first see if the earnings can withstand market fluctuations. Ethena's revenue sources include funding rates, which may turn negative. The official statement also notes that protocol earnings will vary and there is a reserve fund to cope with related pressures. So after scaling up, I will ask: can the new assets still earn the same proportion of returns? If the scale grows rapidly but the yield declines, total income may not increase at the original pace. I prefer to track scale, yield, and reserve changes simultaneously, then study how these results affect token demand. Looking at just one scale figure can easily lead to overly optimistic growth assumptions.
For $AVAX, the burn and issuance must be accounted for in the same ledger. Mainnet transaction fees are burned, while staking rewards come from newly issued tokens. Therefore, the burn caused by active transactions should be compared with the new supply added during the same period. What I want to see is not the cumulative amount burned, but the net supply increase in the recent period. Historical cumulative numbers will keep growing, but current changes are more worth calculating carefully.
For $PYTH, the "all" in the buyback rules must also be clearly understood in terms of calculation scope. The official commitment is that the tokens accumulated come from product funds received by the DAO; some product income is first distributed proportionally before entering the DAO. So total product revenue, DAO receipts, and actual purchase amounts cannot be equated directly. I will track these three steps in sequence. The ratio looks good, but the final market purchase scale determines the weight of this logic.$NES is a new coin launched less than 4 months ago, with only 20% of its 1 billion circulation available, the remaining 80% is fully locked. Today it surged 11%, who pushed it? The project team did. Why push? To make those trapped feel a bit better, so they continue to sell.
The 1 million tokens airdropped by Binance have long been claimed, now the market is full of retail investors passing the bag to each other. A trading volume of 1.85 million indicates that big money hasn't entered at all; it's just small retail investors hyping themselves up.
NES teaches you a truth: no matter how smart AI is, it still can't predict when you'll catch the bag. $BTC $ETH #SeptemberCPIAnnouncedTonight, FedRateHikeDisagreementPending
The Fear and Greed Index is at 62, indicating the market is in a greed zone, but BTC funding rate is -0.0029% — sentiment is overheated, yet leveraged longs are paying to hold positions. This is the most conflicted signal before tonight's CPI release.
What has changed? The core CPI month-over-month expectation slowed from 0.3% to 0.2%, while overall CPI year-over-year may jump from 3.4% to 3.6%, with energy prices as the main driver.
Why is this important? The market prices about a 77% chance that the Fed will hold steady in October, but an 88% chance of a rate hike in December. The core CPI month-over-month reading directly determines whether December’s move will be a rollback or a confirmation.
Which view is currently more supported? The "wait for confirmation" oscillation structure is favored. The Fear and Greed Index is in greed territory, but the funding rate turning negative indicates that the bulls’ willingness to chase higher prices is not solid, and buying pressure is retreating.
Focus on one thing tonight: whether the core CPI month-over-month lands at 0.2% or 0.3%. If it’s 0.2%, December rate hike pricing may ease; if it hits 0.3%, forward rate hike expectations will be reactivated.
Here’s the question — if the data falls between 0.2% and 0.3%, which side will the market trade first? CPI Approaching｜Key Market Focus Tonight Summarized in One Sentence✨
The CPI release is imminent, so here’s my personal take～
Considering the high oil price environment, I lean toward tonight’s data being hawkish. Currently, the probability of a rate hike in October is 21.6%. An inflation rebound is basically expected; now it’s just a matter of how strong the rebound will be.
If the data is higher than the previous value but doesn’t exceed expectations, the market, which was overly pessimistic and oversold recently, might actually have a chance to recover and rebound.
But if the data broadly exceeds expectations, the US stock and crypto markets will likely continue to face pressure and weaken. As for a significant miss below expectations, I think the probability is very low and unrealistic.
Tonight’s real decisive factor isn’t energy inflation, but the core monthly rate!
It’s currently the only subcategory expected to decline. As long as core inflation remains stable and doesn’t spread, the market won’t be too bad.
The most favorable scenario: overall mild inflation with core inflation suppressed, driving US Treasury yields further down, allowing risk assets to truly recover.
Conversely, if core inflation is hot and combined with tomorrow’s PPI confirming pressure, the recent weak market trend will have to persist.
No wild guesses on direction tonight; just patiently wait for the data release and then trade with the trend～
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $BTC $ETH Spot demand for $BTC is picking up alongside growing futures demand.
After two negative months, total demand is now around +69K BTC. This pattern has often appeared during bull phases and supported further upside.
If this momentum continues, Bitcoin could be setting up for another strong move. I'm leaning bullish for now.
$ETH #BTC spot ETF sees net outflows again, can institutional buying rebound? The market is fleeing altcoins on one side while betting on Ethereum's decline on the other.
Currently, many are exiting after repeated sharp drops in altcoins, forming a consensus: Ethereum's rebound is weak, with heavy resistance above, so shorting in line with the trend is the choice to repair accounts. Most assume that as long as the overall market remains weak, prices will continue moving toward lower support.
An often overlooked variable is emotion-driven trading behavior. Many short sellers' decisions stem from psychological imbalance caused by losses in altcoins, not purely based on market structure analysis. Once funds concentrate in the same direction, a short-term unexpected rebound can occur.
If this bearish consensus fails, the first signal will be stabilizing above the resistance zone, breaking the current downward structure. At that point, a reassessment is needed; the original approach can no longer be applied. Even if bearish, position sizing must be controlled and stop-losses set to avoid repeating past mistakes.
The market is like tides; emotional waves always turn back where crowded.
$ETH $BTC $SOL 2500横了四天，但有一件事很奇怪。
价格几乎没动，合约持仓量却一路往上堆。
四天时间，多空双方都在加码，谁也没撤退。
这种局面不像平静，更像一个压力锅火一直在烧，只是还没到冒气的时候。
为什么会这样？
因为10月17日有一批ETH期权要到期，名义价值超过30亿美元，最大痛点就在2500附近。
做市商为了对冲，会在这个区间来回压价，让价格动弹不得。
但到期日一过，这层压制就撤了，方向会自己选出来。
盘面信号偏空。4小时MACD在零轴下方粘合，RSI在50附近来回晃，两次试探2530都被摁回来。
下面2420是买墙，但一旦被吃掉，2400就露出来了。
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 There is only one hour left before the CPI data is released. Here's my personal conclusion: bullish
But how far will the rebound go? Should the subsequent strategy be long or short?
Currently, the probability of a rate hike in October is 21%, because the market is somewhat overly pessimistic and oversold, combined with the high oil prices in September, so the probability of a rebound tonight is relatively high. The key is whether it meets expectations or exceeds them [If it exceeds expectations, the US stock market might face a massive sell-off], and whether inflation is further spreading?
There are four CPI data points tonight. I think the most critical one is the core monthly rate, which is currently the only expected value lower than the previous one. If this data can hold steady tonight, then the market really might start to turn. Also, I think the recent decline has already priced in the December rate hike expectations in advance. As long as tonight's data is below or meets expectations, there will definitely be a big bullish candle stretch.
In short, one word: rise!
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 现在$ETH 就围绕2500走震荡了，前期我预判最高不会超过2850，因为2530突破上2700，而2700-2800区间全是空头爆仓止损平空买入近一步推高价格上行。
上周我就喊了数次直接市价空进去，都在2500跟83000上方，我$BTC 也是在上周天20倍杠杆，均价83491冰山拆单的。
昨天最高浮盈30多万美金，没减仓没平仓，我也没想到反弹力度这么大，就继续睡觉没管了，因为不管怎么样，没有到底。

整体通胀大概率是汽油推上去的，市场早就定价了，真正决定方向的是核心CPI。
核心低，美元和美债回落，BTC有机会冲84500，站稳再看87000；核心到0.3%，加息预期重燃，先回踩82000，破80600多单容易连环爆。
还有一种最可能，整体高核心低，数据打架，来回插针，多空都被洗一遍。
另外别被带节奏，ETF不是天天跑，是前几天连续大额赎回，机构情绪确实谨慎，但单日流出不能当趋势看。
我偏向第三种，数据出来前不重仓赌。我一般等落地后看美元和美债，再配合持仓量和资金费率决定，无量突破直接放弃，进场就设死止损。 姐妹们，$ETH 的底裤，彻底被人扒光了。
不是我想唱空，是这帮机构跑得比兔子还快。
先给你们报个让人后背发凉的数字。
以太坊现货ETF，已经连续9个交易日净流出，月内累计跑了6.35亿美元。
贝莱德一家就撤走了4.77亿，灰度跟着跑了几千万。
机构在用脚投票，散户还在群里喊牛回速归。
看看盘面，1小时线MA5、MA10、MA20全部死叉向下，MACD的DIF -1.71、DEA -1.17，两根线死死趴在零轴下面，绿柱子根本收不回去。
从2733一路砸到2405，现在反抽到2500附近，连MA20都摸不到。
再看看链上，以太坊基金会关联钱包向交易所转了4393枚ETH，F2Pool联创王纯也转了2160枚进去。
大户往交易所转币意味着什么？意味着可能要卖。
机构在跑，大户在转，ETF在失血，拿什么去撑住2500？
下方2400这个心理关口，我看悬得很。
我2715的空单，现在稳稳吃下393%的利润。
操作上，反弹到2520-2550附近可以轻仓补空，目标先看2400，破了再看2200。

Friends who still hold long positions should be careful; once you break even, you can exit quickly 🤭🤭
With last week's Samsung Q3 earnings report released 【revenue did not meet market expectations】 and the recent withdrawal of foreign capital, there has been strong selling pressure on both Korean stocks and the memory sector. The rise of our country's memory sector has also put significant pressure on Samsung and Hynix. Additionally, Samsung's early end to its buyback program are all reasons for the recent continued weakness in memory stocks.
All positive factors for the memory sector have been realized, and negative factors keep coming. It will be difficult to see a significant rebound in the short term.
Therefore, the overall trading strategy is still to short at high rebounds. You can hold long positions for the initial waves and then switch to short positions later.
#September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved #SanDisk MSCI rebalancing takes effect, NAND valuation under focus #Hynix responds to US expansion rumors 如果这轮波动你只盯着K线，那大概率会错过真正的信号。 为什么有人刚在原油上认输，转头却说还是更爱加密？ 昨晚看到一位交易者晒单，$BZ 和 $BTC 的空单一起止损，亏了3800美元，说资金费率贵到离谱，干脆把这几千刀当成给OKX交学费，还放话以后不碰原油了，等下次再赢回来。看着有点好笑，又有点真实，因为这种"投降"往往不是终点，而是情绪换手的开始。 我更在意的不是他亏了多少，而是他为什么最后选择回到币圈。原油那边资金成本高得让人难受，说明杠杆拥挤、持有代价变贵，短线博弈的性价比在下降。而加密这边，至少还有24小时不停歇的节奏、更细的板块轮动、更快的叙事切换，对习惯高频反馈的人来说，确实更有吸引力。这背后其实是风险偏好在换场，不是简单的"哪个更好"。 从波动阶段看，这种认输离场往往带着两层含义。偏多的路径是：高成本空头被挤出后，短期抛压减轻，如果$BTC 能稳住关键区间，$ETH 和部分山寨会迎来更轻的反弹环境，情绪修复会先从合约市场开始。偏空的风险是：资金费率贵本身就在提醒杠杆过度，一旦价格反向，连环止损会比想象中更急，山寨的承接也会更脆。 所以现在真正要观察的，是这种"认输"会不会Robinhood 过去半个月，股票交易量掉得很快，现在几乎只剩套利的毒订单。这类单子看准了价差进来，稳赚不赔，但对 LP 来说，每一笔都是实打实的损失。量看着还有，性质已经变了。
AMM 里的交易量本身不是目的。真的想换币的人下单，池子有进有出；只想从价差里占便宜的套利单，走量再大，也是抽池子。两个量摆在一起看，数字差不多，对 LP 的伤害完全不同。
股票交易量下滑之后，LP 会一直顶着 LVR 再平衡的损失。池子深度撑不住，做市机制就只是空转。要救的不是把交易量堆回去，是搞清楚这些量到底谁在贡献。
meme 和股票的交易对是实打实的有机订单。meme 天生带着大量不计成本、情绪驱动的买卖，正好补上套利订单留下的空。这部分量不理性，但它养池子。
想在 AMM 体制下做代币化股票，光把股票做得更像股票没用。得在它旁边接上最活跃、最有情绪的那类资产，让有机订单先进来。套利者的量再大，也养不活一个池子。"On the Differences in Value Investing Under Different Institutional Systems"
Different sovereign countries rely on their respective institutional systems to develop value investing paradigms adapted to their local environments.
The Western capitalist system is based on market economics as its underlying logic. At the macro level, money and capital spontaneously flow toward equity assets with the highest capital return efficiency, giving rise to the long-term bull market narratives of Nasdaq and the S&P; South Korea follows a state capitalism model, where resources and credit funds are tilted toward core industrial conglomerates like Samsung, Hynix, and LG; China implements the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, adhering to public ownership as the main body, with sovereign capital and long-term funds continuously concentrating in low-volatility dividend and China-specific valuation sectors, covering core central enterprises such as state-owned banks, state-owned power companies, and state-owned telecommunications.
Within the framework of socialist political economy, the logic of value investing also holds. Its fundamental essence is to understand the institutional foundation of a country and to grasp the underlying capital flow rules within that system.ASML's latest report is not bad. Net sales in the third quarter reached €11.7 billion, with net profit around €5 billion; the company also raised its full-year 2026 sales forecast to between €44 billion and €45 billion. More importantly, the equipment demand driven by AI remains strong, with some customers even inquiring about orders for 2029 and 2030. But here is a question worth considering: if AI demand is so strong, why are chip stocks still pulling back due to market concerns? I believe the core lies in three aspects. 1️⃣ AI demand is real, but stock prices may have already priced in expectations in advance. The market is buying not only today's performance but also growth for the next few years. If investors had overly high expectations before, even good earnings reports might lead to profit-taking. 2️⃣ Strong orders for ASML do not mean all chip companies will benefit. ASML is part of the semiconductor equipment supply chain. Strong equipment demand indicates the industry is still expanding, but whether this translates into profits for chip companies depends on order fulfillment, capacity utilization, and end-user demand. 3️⃣ TSMC is the next key validation point. The focus will be on TSMC's statements regarding AI chip demand, advanced packaging, and capital expenditures. If order growth and future guidance remain strong, market confidence in the AI industry chain may be supported; if guidance falls short of expectations, beware of further valuation adjustments.

这种极度高控的币为啥非要去空呢？ The event truly worth watching tonight may not be the September CPI, but Anthropic's closed-door meeting.
According to CNBC, Anthropic is holding a closed-door meeting tonight for core institutional investors, publicly disclosing its complete Q3 financial data for the first time to pave the way for its upcoming IPO. Two anonymous insiders have also confirmed the meeting arrangements.
The core purpose of this closed-door meeting is to convey the latest revenue growth and profitability metrics to the capital market before formally submitting the S-1, helping institutions establish a clearer valuation reference. Management and cooperating investment banks will also assess market acceptance and pricing expectations for the IPO based on feedback from attendees.
What’s truly worth pondering is the sequence of events: the normal process is for everyone to see the numbers together after submitting the S-1, but Anthropic is showing the most complete quarterly financials exclusively to institutions before the public filing. Letting buyers who can price the shares access the data first, then the public market sees it later—the time gap itself constitutes a pricing event.
Anthropic previously delayed its IPO pace to wait for Q3 financial data. Being able to wait indicates management’s confidence in the Q3 numbers. They are willing to slow down to put the most complete quarterly financials on the table.
What to watch next is the data itself. Revenue growth and profitability metrics will directly influence institutions’ valuation anchors and affect market reactions when the S-1 is publicly filed later. If the data falls short of expectations, feedback from the closed-door meeting will surface before the public market reflects it.PancakeSwap 一项治理提案把 11 条支持链上 v3 与 Infinity 的 LP 手续费分成统一提高到 88%，协议手续费降到 12% 并注入国库，v2 不变。按 2025 年交易量估算，LP 预计每年额外获得约 6200 万美元手续费，交易者承担的费率不变，但流动性深度预计最多提升约 30%，价格影响最多降低约 20%–25%。
多给 LP 的那部分，不是凭空印出来的，是从协议自己留的 12% 里让出来的。一个协议愿意主动少赚手续费，通常说明它更怕流动性跑掉，而不是少收一点费。
同时，提案计划把每日 CAKE 排放量从 22500 枚削减至 7000 枚，降幅约 69%。这 7000 枚全部分配至生态增长基金 Pantry，每年减少铸造约 570 万枚 CAKE。CAKE 总供应量自 2025 年 4 月通过 Tokenomics 3.0 后已下降 11.5%，提案预计维持 2030 年供应量减少约 20% 的目标。一边让利给 LP 留人，一边减少增发，两件事都指向同一个目的：让这个池子对提供流动性的人更有吸引力，而不是对等着领新币的人。Today's summary in one sentence: Bitcoin traded sideways all day between 83,000 and 84,100, currently priced at 83,475, moving only +0.15% in 24 hours. The total liquidations across the network dropped from 770 million yesterday to about **150 million** — before the CPI release, the market has pulled back all leverage, waiting sideways for the 8:30 PM announcement tonight. Comparing with this morning's expectations, where was the difference? This morning I said that under a hawkish scenario, leveraged long positions would continue to be squeezed, and BTC might test 80,951 again. The actual movement was the opposite: the bulls were not hit further; the shorts were the ones squeezed. Of today's 150 million liquidations, shorts accounted for 52%, and among BTC liquidations, shorts made up 78%, with the largest single liquidation being a BTC short position worth over 3 million USD on Binance. The script is simple: before CPI, the price did not drop, the 83,000 level held steady, and those shorting couldn't hold on and were forced to buy back to close positions — this is a classic short squeeze, where shorts themselves supported the price. Why was it sideways and not a drop? Three reasons. First, yesterday's 770 million liquidation cleaned out most high-leverage longs, so today no one dared to open large positions before CPI; both longs and shorts retracted, naturally reducing volatility. Second, spot buying is still ongoing: the price briefly surged to **84,147** (today's high) in the morning session, though it didn't hold and fell back, but every dip below 83,000 met buying support, keeping the price stuck in a range between the 50-day moving average at 81,000 and the ceiling at 84,000. Third, on the macro front, neither bulls nor bears have new cards: the 10-year US Treasury yield fell from 5.36% to 5.2%.#Tokenized US Treasuries Used for Large-Scale Triparty Repo for the First Time
The boss has something to say
BNY Mellon and Castle Securities completed the first large-scale triparty repo using tokenized US Treasuries as collateral financing. Castle purchased two-year US Treasuries, BNY generated on-chain tokenized securities, settled within minutes, then used them for overnight repos. Tokenized US Treasuries have moved from issuance and settlement into institutional collateral financing scenarios. Ondo-related products have surpassed $3 billion in scale.
I believe this is an important step for RWA implementation. Previously, tokenized bonds could only be held and traded; now they can be used as collateral to borrow money. Institutional funds entering on-chain have gained a real exit. This is a long-term positive for RWA and stablecoin settlement.
But in the short term, it hasn't boosted coin prices. Bitcoin still follows macro trends. US Treasuries 30-year yield is 5.7%, ETF funds are still flowing out, and CPI is about to be released. I'm currently out of position, not catching falling knives. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
The above analysis is time-sensitive; orders must have stop-losses set. Good luck.Tonight's CPI is actually not the focus; the focus is that the Federal Reserve's credibility is being treated as a joke by the market. Hawkish comments from Harker say more hikes are coming, yet the market prices in a 77% chance of no move in October. Both sides are completely out of sync.
For Bitcoin $BTC, U.S. institutions are reducing positions while whales have increased holdings by over 80,000 coins in three weeks. Institutions are withdrawing, long-term holders are accumulating. If CPI is hotter than expected, Bitcoin will be hit first, but after the bad news is fully priced in, whales may accelerate accumulation. If the core month-on-month is only 0.2%, Bitcoin could test 84,000 to 85,000.
Ethereum $ETH spot ETFs saw net outflows exceeding 500 million last week, with BlackRock pulling nearly 500 million. But a detail worth noting is that its leverage ratio dropped to a seven-month low, funding rates turned negative, and shorts are paying to hold positions. If the price holds above key support, short covering could fuel a rebound. The premise is that ETF outflows must stop first, which hasn't happened yet.
Gold $XAUT is seeing speculative longs exit the futures market; UBS says this decline is due to non-commercial accounts reducing net longs. However, gold ETF holdings are unusually resilient, with continuous inflows, and central banks have increased holdings for 23 consecutive months, with September's increase being the largest this cycle. Speculators are exiting, allocators are stepping in. Bitcoin's buyers are on-chain whales; gold's buyers are central banks. The nature and patience of these funds are on completely different levels.
Don't bet on the data; bet on the Federal Reserve's credibility crisis. #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 Tonight at 20:30, the US September CPI will be released. Don't just focus on the overall 0.6% noise from oil prices; the real hidden line is the core CPI: expected 0.2%, previous 0.3%. 📉
The market gives only a 17% chance of a rate hike in October, showing a dovish tone. But if the core month-on-month hits 0.3%, that 17% will spring back—because the core excludes energy, revealing whether inflation is spreading. The Fed's September minutes also warned: if energy prices stay high, they could seep into broader prices. ⚠️
So tonight's logic: high overall = known, high core = surprise. Core at 0.2 means risk appetite can catch a breath; core at 0.3 means the dollar and US Treasury yields rise, $BTC first deleverages then looks for support. Where will BTC fall? First look at previous lows/liquidation clusters and whether ETF inflows provide a floor—don’t guess blindly. 📊
Are you betting on 0.2 or 0.3? If it exceeds expectations, which BTC level should you watch? Let's learn together 🧠 #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 #韩股急跌后反弹收窄，半导体买盘能否持续？ "Probability of Rate Hike Soars, Why Can't Bitcoin Rally"
Just checked CME FedWatch: 77.3% probability of no change in October, 22.7% probability of a 25 basis point hike. A month ago, this hike probability was zero. December is more hawkish: 68.7% probability of a 25 basis point hike, 19.1% probability of a 50 basis point hike, and only 12.2% chance of no hike. The market is almost certain there will be a rate hike before year-end.
I believe this is the fundamental reason why BTC can't rally. The Fed has shifted from rate cut expectations to rate hike expectations, naturally putting pressure on high Beta assets. If CPI exceeds expectations, the probability of a rate hike will continue to rise. Tonight's data will reveal the outcome.

#CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 #半导体板块集中抛售，韩国KOSPI跌超6% The French Parliament is reviewing the 2027 budget proposal, which plans to include the conversion of cryptocurrencies into MiCA-regulated stablecoins under the 31.4% capital gains tax starting January 1, 2027. Currently, none of these measures have become law; it is still an amendment undergoing procedures.
What this draft truly changes is not the tax rate but "what counts as a disposal." Many people treat converting Bitcoin to USDT as merely changing the storage form, not a sale. Once converting to stablecoins is classified as a taxable event, those operations done for hedging or to avoid using banks by temporarily converting to stablecoins will have to calculate tax each time.
Chainalysis France CEO Francois Volpoet warns that this direction will push traders toward stablecoins and offshore channels outside EU regulation and difficult to monitor. The higher the tax rate, the more funds will move to less transparent places, which is a predictable reaction.
The same set of measures also includes: declaring self-custodied crypto wallets valued at least 100,000 euros, and including crypto assets in exit tax scope. Viewed individually, these are tax compliance measures; together, they bring both self-custody and exit pathways under regulatory oversight.
The Finance Committee passed the amendment on October 7, supported the self-custody declaration and exit tax measures on October 9, but then rejected the government's 2027 budget revenue section by 31 votes to 3. The related crypto tax amendments need to be resubmitted to the full National Assembly for reconsideration, with the revenue vote expected on October 20.NEAR at $5, are you itching to buy?
CPI will be released in an hour and a half tonight. Long positions just dropped from a historic high of 1.92 billion, with liquidation lines at 4.96 and 4.89 right below. Are you trading or gambling?
Let's look at the surface first: from 2.3 to 6, more than doubled in a month, now slammed back to 5. Everyone is asking—can you catch the bottom?
I tell you: $5 is the middle of the range, not the starting point of a rise. Opening new positions before CPI is like catching a flying knife with your eyes closed.
First thing: this surge was driven by leverage, not spot buying.
NEAR futures positions were only 300-450 million in July and August. They exploded starting mid-September, reaching a historic high of 1.92 billion on October 12. Price dropped from 6 to 5, but positions only fell by 20%, still at 1.56 billion.
In plain language: leverage hasn't been cleaned out yet.
Binance funding rate annualized at 6-7%, Hyperliquid at 11%. Longs are still paying, but it's no longer extremely crowded. The real risk is—the first tier of long liquidations is at 4.96 and 4.89, just 1%-2% below $5. If CPI is hotter than expected, this layer will be wiped out first.
Chasing longs here with a stop loss within $0.2 is like giving a gift to the needle. Daily ATR is 0.54, daily volatility of 10%-16% is normal.
Second thing: the benefits of ETFs and Intents are already priced in.
Bitwise spot NEAR ETF, ticker NRR, listed on NYSE Arca on September 29, the first in the US. First week inflow was $58 million.
Sounds exciting? But NEAR's market cap is 6.6 billion; $58 million can't support a second wave unless inflows accelerate.
NEAR Intents cumulative volume is 31-33 billion, covering over 30 chains, with estimated annualized fees of $45 million, some of which are used for buybacks. But there was a $3.86 million exploit in early October, recovered within 24 hours. The money came back, but the ETF story is selling this product, which was just hit, so valuation shouldn't be considered risk-free.
Also, inflation dropped from 5% to 2.5%, with governance proposals aiming to reduce it further to 1.6%. This is a slow variable and won't help tonight.
Wintermute observation: funds shifted from high-liquidity DeFi and large-cap coins to AI. That week, only 11 of 66 large-cap altcoins closed up, median -3.7%, NEAR was a winner. The winner's position is that $6 needle.
Third thing: technicals show weekly bullish, daily distribution.
Weekly RSI 68, moving averages bullish, large scale intact.
Daily RSI 55, MACD histogram turned negative, price below 9-day MA. Small scale finishing this leverage cycle.
Key levels:
Resistance above: 5.37-5.60 (failed rebound means weakness) → 5.90-6.03 (previous highs supply)
Support below: 4.80 (21-day MA) → 4.62-4.64 (previous low platform) → 4.30-4.45 (real demand, last defense of the uptrend)
Trend break: daily close below 4.30, watch 4.00 50-day MA.
At $5, neither bulls nor bears have the advantage. The edge is at 4.80 pullback or a close above 5.25, not at the price you're watching now.
Bull vs bear, you decide:
On one side:
Weekly bullish, large scale intact
ETF channel open, $58 million inflow first week
Intents volume over 30 billion, real business
Inflation down from 5% to 2.5%, governance proposals to reduce further
Relative strength, outperforming the market for a month
On the other side:
Futures positions dropped from 1.92 billion historic high, leverage not cleaned
Liquidation lines at 4.96 and 4.89 right below
ETF inflows relative to market cap can't support second wave
Intents had a $3.86 million exploit
Macro: Fed rate 3.75-4%, possible hike this year, zero chance of cut
10-year US Treasury 5.1-5.2%, high beta cut first
Tonight's CPI, core data decides direction.
Consensus: overall CPI YoY 3.6%, core 2.4-2.5%.
Core MoM ≥0.3% or YoY above 2.5%: long liquidation below $5 triggers first, 4.96 and 4.89 liquidated, direct drop to 4.80 or even 4.62.
Core MoM ≤0.2% and YoY steady at 2.4%: only then can we talk about returning to 5.50.
Don't use "it's stronger than the market" to hold through CPI. Altcoins have higher beta than ETH; with the same data, NEAR is more elastic.
Trading strategy
Long in two tiers, don't catch the flying knife in the middle at $5:
After soft data, 4-hour close above 5.25, pullback to 5.10 without breaking, enter again. Stop loss 4.88. First target 5.55, second 5.90. If daily close doesn't reclaim 5.60, exit at 5.55.
Better position is 4.80-4.85, need to see lower wick and close above 4.95. Stop loss 4.60. Use half normal position size because holdings are still high. Target first 5.40.
Deeper plan orders at 4.35-4.50, stop loss 4.15. This is a buy point while this rally is still alive. If daily close breaks 4.30, plan invalid, next support 4.00, not "add another tier."
Short only two types:
Rebound 5.40-5.60 fails, 4-hour close can't reclaim. Stop loss 5.70. Target 4.90, then 4.64.
4-hour close below 4.88, rebound 5.00 fails. Stop loss 5.20. Target 4.64, extend to 4.35. If 4.90 holds, don't chase shorts, risk-reward is poor.
Structure judgment fixed:
Daily close below 4.30 ends the uptrend since September, only shorts or no position left.
Daily close above 5.60 ends pullback, close all shorts, next stop 6.03.
6.03 without volume breakout remains resistance, not a breakout.
NEAR now is like SOL in 2021—
From $2 to $6, everyone shouted "the next Ethereum."
Then retraced 50%, everyone called it a "scam."
Then it rose to $20.
But this time, are you sure you can withstand that 50% retracement in the middle?
A bull market isn't without pullbacks, but every pullback feels like a bear market. $BTC $ETH $NEAR 美国将于北京时间10月14日20:30公布9月CPI。市场预计能源价格上涨可能推动整体CPI同比由3.4%升至3.6%—3.7%，核心CPI环比增速则可能由0.3%放缓至0.2%。近期哈玛克、威廉姆斯及柯林斯相继释放年内可能继续加息的信号，但未明确主张10月立即行动。CME FedWatch数据显示，市场对10月维持利率不变的定价约77%，加息25个基点的概率约23%。当前分歧集中于加息时点：若核心通胀高于预期，10月加息概率可能回升；若价格压力主要来自能源，暂停预期或得到强化。数据结果将进一步影响美债、美元、黄金及BTC等资产定价。📉 Today's market feels like a script change
$ZEC followed BTC down to around 1120 in the early session, but stubbornly pulled back to 1220 by midday, with bears getting slapped back and forth. 🧨 Multi-timeframe indicators still lean bearish, open interest has clearly shrunk, and the long-short ratio is 46:54: more shorts with light positions; fewer longs with heavy positions. The capital structure is quite conflicted. I tend to think this V-shaped rebound is a dead cat bounce, a struggle during the downtrend, not a reversal. 🐱
$NEAR is best avoided for now. Thin liquidity makes the order book easily manipulated; it's easy to get in but not necessarily graceful to get out. ⚠️
Two most painful regrets in trading: not taking profits and watching them evaporate; or getting scared and selling early, missing the main rally. The root cause is often not setting the timeframe before entering a position. Entering on a 15-minute chart but expecting a 4-hour trend, then clinging to the trade after the move ends, turning unrealized gains into stop losses; entering with a 4-hour logic, but getting shaken out before the trend breaks, only to watch it run further. 😮💨
Short-term trades capture short-term gains, long-term holds endure long-term volatility. When timeframes get mixed up, mindset collapses. Set your timeframe first, then talk direction. 🧭 #SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike disagreements await resolution #TSMC Q3 revenue hits record high, profit performance to be revealed The market is stuck halfway up the hill, neither bulls nor bears dare to make the first move. Fed's Williams said there's no rush to raise rates, no panic before 2027, risk appetite has slightly rebounded, ZEC leads the rebound, and South Korean chip stocks have also stopped their five-day decline. But the chip sell-off isn't over yet, tech stocks have cooled off again, and Bitcoin just touched 84,000 but was pressed back down in less than an hour. Now everyone is waiting for the September CPI; without the data, no one dares to go full position.
BTC is currently at 83,412, up 0.2% in 24 hours. 84,000 above is a hard ceiling, 83,000 below is the first short-term support, if broken look to 82,000. Before the data, expect narrow range grinding; don’t expect it to pick a direction on its own.
ETH is currently at 2,503, up 0.28% in 24 hours. It’s been bouncing around 2,500, down 4.36% over seven days, much weaker than Bitcoin. 2,480 is the bottom line; if it can’t hold 2,520, no talk of a counterattack.
ZEC is currently at 1,239, up 3.35% in 24 hours. It dropped 80 dollars from 1,282, the surge and pullback just played out, those chasing highs have already been hung out to dry. It’s the vanguard of the rebound and also the first wave of the sell-off.
Don’t get itchy before CPI lands. Jumping in now isn’t bottom-fishing, it’s feeding the data as fuel.

#After sharp drop, Korean stocks narrow rebound, can semiconductor buying continue? #TSMC Q3 revenue hits new high, profit performance to be revealed #September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved This whale closed out $15 million worth of long positions at breakeven before the CPI release. Could the CPI tonight be a bombshell?
The whale with address starting 0x4ff9 completely liquidated about 6,000 ETH long positions (approximately $14.98 million) in the past hour, exiting near breakeven and clearing the entire account.
With the CPI data about to be released, this whale is closing positions near breakeven, showing a lack of confidence in the upcoming market rally?
Currently, $ETH is oscillating narrowly between 2485-2510, with the price basically hugging the 2500 whole number level.
The short-term structure is weak, price is below multiple short-term moving averages, RSI is neutral to weak, and volume has not increased, overall in a compressed state before the data.
Support levels:
First support: 2470-2485 (near intraday lows, losing this would weaken the short-term structure)
Key support: 2450-2430 (previous low concentration area, a decisive break could accelerate downside)
Stronger support: 2400-2410 (recent rebound starting point, breaking this would turn short-term bearish)
Resistance is seen at 2520-2530, then further up at 2550-2560.
The whale choosing to close at breakeven before CPI is more about avoiding data uncertainty rather than confirming a direction.
After the data release, the focus is on whether 2470 can hold and if funds re-enter the market. What’s your take on tonight’s volatility? #SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution The US September CPI will be released tonight at 8:30 PM. The market expects overall inflation to jump from 3.4% to 3.6%-3.7%, mainly driven by energy, with gasoline prices rising more than 7% in one month. However, the core CPI is actually cooling down, with the month-on-month expectation dropping from 0.3% to 0.2%, and the year-on-year around 2.5%, indicating that price increases are basically concentrated in the energy sector and have not spread to other areas.
Recently, Williams and Collins have consecutively taken a hawkish stance, both saying there might be another rate hike within the year, but no one advocates for action in October. The probability of a rate hike in October is currently only about 23%, with the market betting on December. What can truly change this pricing is the core CPI. If the core month-on-month stays within 0.2%, the expectation of a pause will be more stable; if the core also exceeds expectations, then the probability of an October rate hike will have to be revised upward.
$BTC is now around 83,000, rebounding from just above 80,000. There likely won't be major moves before the data release tonight; the key is how US Treasury yields move afterward. If the core CPI holds steady and Treasury yields ease, Bitcoin will have a chance to test 85,000 again. If the core exceeds expectations, the 82,000 support will have to be tested again. #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $SOL On this chain, there is a type of money that doesn't speculate on coins; it represents real-world assets brought on-chain to conduct business.
According to the data site's categories, this type currently totals $585 million, spread across 12 projects. The two largest ones are: one in reinsurance with $293 million, and one in lending with $249 million. Together, they account for 92% of this category.
The rest are smaller players, the next largest having $33.6 million, followed by a few million or even tens of thousands. The scale of this category is basically supported by the top two.
Behind these assets are real-world cash flows—insurance payouts and loan interest—moved on-chain for faster settlement and transparent accounting. They rely on real cash flow and don't care about coin price fluctuations.
On-chain lending and market-making categories each have scales in the two to three billion dollar range, while this category is still in the single-digit hundreds of millions. Compared to SOL's $63.8 billion market cap, it's less than one percent.
A 1% move in SOL's market cap equals $638 million, which is more than this entire category. So the inflows and outflows of this money don't affect the coin price; price changes remain the coin's own business.
But the direction is worth watching. The fast inflow of this money indicates institutions are willing to put real assets on this chain for settlement, not just for trading.
This category has its own section on the data site. Checking it periodically can reveal how quickly this money is flowing in.$ZEC is stuck in a frustrating sideways range ahead of tonight’s CPI data. ⚡
Both sides are waiting for a mistake. Once the data hits, one side could get liquidated as price breaks out.
#ASMLQ3ResultsOct14 A Delaware registration: How far has the HYPE ETF come? I'll break down the process for you
First, the facts: Public reports show that an ETF trust entity targeting $HYPE completed registration in Delaware on January 8, with related reports released on January 9. Don't get excited just seeing the word "ETF"; I'll break down the entire process.
From concept to launch, an ETF must go through several stages: entity registration, formal application, regulatory approval, and going live. What has been completed so far is only the first step—"someone has registered the company." Approval is still far away, and there's no talk of fund inflows yet. So, is this important? Yes. It shows that an institution is willing to pave the way for HYPE, opening a small window for institutional imagination. But that's all—markets always like to trade on expectations ahead of time, and price fluctuations often come from expectations running ahead of the paperwork.
My approach: Keep this progress in mind and watch for the follow-up official documents. Imagination is imagination, but only the official stamp counts. Faith remains unchanged; wait for the documents.Anthropic's decision to show Q3 performance privately to institutional investors makes the reported $2T valuation less a verdict than a negotiating reference point. Demand can be tested before full earnings face public scrutiny, while the offering size and timetable remain open.
That preserves flexibility, but it also leaves outsiders with a headline valuation and few inputs for judging it.
#AnthropicIPOValuation #Strive increases holding by 3,311 BTC, can high-interest financing continue?
The boss has something to say
Strive has added to its position again. From October 5 to 9, it spent $280 million to buy 3,311 BTC, bringing total holdings to 32,773 BTC. At the same time, it plans to issue 10,000 SATS preferred shares at $100 each, with an annual dividend of 15%, raising funds to continue buying coins.
Strategy is doing the opposite. In the past two weeks, it spent $369 million to repurchase STRC preferred shares, only increasing BTC holdings by 584. One is leveraging up to buy coins, the other is deleveraging to preserve cash flow.
My judgment is that high-interest financing is a double-edged sword. It amplifies gains in a bull market, but in a bear market, the 15% dividend is a fixed expense. When coin prices fluctuate, cash flow pressure arises. Strive is betting on BTC continuing to rise, but if it stagnates or falls, financing costs will eat into profits.
The market's focus has shifted from holding scale to financing efficiency and capital structure. The more stable the model, the longer it survives.
I am currently out of position; my long at 82,800 was stopped out today. I won’t catch a falling knife before CPI data is released. ETF funds are still flowing out, 30-year US Treasury yields at 5.7%, macro pressure remains. Treasury increases are slow variables and cannot change short-term rhythm. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
No chasing highs or panic selling lows, waiting for data to settle before finding a position.
The above analysis is time-sensitive; always set stop losses on your trades. Good luck.【Crypto Circle Script】
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解
I'm Script Bro, the CPI is coming again tonight
The crypto circle is probably facing another big guess-the-size event
The market's biggest dilemma now isn't whether inflation is high or not
But whether the Federal Reserve still wants to raise interest rates
To put it simply, the US economy is a bit awkward right now
Employment is starting to cool down, but inflation hasn't fully softened yet
On one side, it's getting harder for ordinary people to find jobs
On the other, prices just won't come down
The Fed is stuck in the middle, getting slapped from both sides
But I think people might be overlooking one issue
The market isn't really trading the CPI itself
It's trading the gap between the CPI and expectations
No matter how bad the data is, as long as it's not as bad as expected, it can still go up
No matter how good the data is, if the market has already bet too heavily in advance
The good news might turn into bad news when realized
That's why in crypto we often see prices surge first when news breaks
Then crash afterwards
It's not that the whales can predict the future, but that leverage positions are too crowded
Especially now, BTC itself is caught between macro pressure and institutional allocation pulling in opposite directions$BTC $ETH $ZEC Tonight's CPI, the core is the real needle
Good evening, brothers.
20:30, US September CPI. Overall expectation is a month-on-month +0.6%, driven by oil prices; core expectation dropped from 0.3% to 0.2%. The probability of a rate hike in October has been pushed down to 17%. But as long as the core deviates from 0.2%, for example still at 0.3%, the rate hike expectation will immediately reverse.
Logic: High overall is not scary, high core is deadly. The core excludes energy and looks at whether inflation has spread. The September minutes also warned that high energy prices may transmit to broader prices.
My positions: BTC long with 35% unrealized profit, ETH long with 40% unrealized loss. The unrealized loss is narrowing, but tonight is the big test. Set your bottom line and wait for the data.
Do you bet on core 0.2 or 0.3? If it exceeds expectations, how low will BTC fall? What is the basis? Let's learn together.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
#SeptemberCPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence to be resolved
#BTC spot ETF net outflow again, can institutional buying warm up?
#TradingVoice: Your experience deserves to be heard $BTC was pressed down twice at 84000, can tonight's CPI give us a clear answer?
BTC is now stuck at 83385, barely moving throughout the day, down only 0.42%. Several times it touched the 84000 mark, only to be forcefully pushed back, unable to rise or fall—everyone watching the market is holding their breath waiting for the shoe to drop. This kind of frustrating sideways trading is something veteran traders defending the price recently definitely understand.
The funding side just showed a bit of warmth; yesterday, spot ETF net inflows were $176 million, the highest in nearly two weeks. But the overall net outflow for the first week of October was still $386 million. A single day's inflow doesn't mean much; it looks more like big money quietly positioning before the data release, ready to rush out the moment the numbers come out.
Don't be fooled by the surface-level year-over-year 3.6% expectation—this figure is artificially pushed up by energy price hikes, which the Fed doesn't really consider. The core CPI is tonight's decisive factor. Currently, institutions are completely divided: Goldman Sachs predicts a slightly stronger core month-over-month at 0.24%, while Citi only expects 0.18%, saying communication service prices will drag it down.
Tonight, there are basically two paths: if the core data is below 0.2%, easing rate hike expectations, BTC will surge past 84000 and hold to see 85000; if the data exceeds expectations and is stronger, rate hike talk will resurface, and BTC will directly retest 81600, breaking which it will head toward 80000. No one wants to miss out or get left behind at this critical juncture. Watching core data and capital flows is much more reliable than blindly guessing price moves.
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 Only 90 minutes left! Tonight's CPI will determine the direction of global liquidity.
If inflation remains high, expectations for rate cuts will be lowered again, with U.S. Treasuries reacting first, and the pricing logic for gold and the Nasdaq will be completely reshuffled. If the data unexpectedly weakens, the market will bet on a pause in rate hikes or even a shift to easing, relieving pressure on risk assets. Core CPI is the key trump card; rent, service prices, and wages directly determine the Fed's subsequent policy moves.
Currently, global markets have collectively entered a dormant state, with volatility deliberately suppressed. Most traders are reducing positions and waiting quietly for data guidance. Do not trust any breakout moves before the CPI release, as most are traps.
The instantaneous candlestick at 8:30 PM tonight marks the true start of the market: if data is below expectations, prices will surge first; if above expectations, the dollar strengthens and markets come under pressure; if it exactly meets expectations, it’s the most frustrating scenario, likely involving a spike to shake out positions before choosing a direction. Tonight, we are watching not just the candlestick but the global liquidity switch. One and a half hours left—don’t blink. $BTC $ETH #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 84360 is not a benchmark, it's the sniper line for the bears
At 8:14 AM, $814 million liquidated, 85% of which were long positions. Many think the bloodbath is over and a rebound is due. In my view, this rebound is not a stabilization but a downward continuation giving bears some points.
The market is very honest. Bitcoin tried to leverage the Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia and Brent crude breaking 106, but by evening it barely touched 84,000 and couldn't hold, falling back to 83,500; the altcoins didn't even follow, ETH is stuck below 2,500, SOL only at 107. Market dominance rose above 60%, which looks like Bitcoin is strong, but actually the whole market is shrinking in volume, with funds huddling together for warmth—this solo run usually ends with Bitcoin catching down.
The macro environment doesn't support bulls either. Oil prices surged, making it hard for tonight's 8:30 PM CPI to disappoint; overall year-on-year is heading toward 3.6%-3.7%, 10-year US Treasury yields at 5.24% are pressing down, and the probability of a rate hike in December has reached 70%. Core month-on-month ≥0.3% means repricing for hikes; if it hits 0.4%, tonight will be the bulls' second liquidation.
So I don't treat those three levels as benchmarks at all:
$BTC 84,360, $ETH 2,580, $SOL 113 are three walls; if prices bounce up to just below these walls, it's bears adding positions. Once Bitcoin breaks 82,200, 80,000 is next; altcoins have already bowed out early, Bitcoin's catch-down will only be delayed, not absent.
Don't chase the first spike when data lands, wait for it to bounce up to the wall on its own
#九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $BLUR , $YGG , and $SAND were once hot gaming and NFT tokens, but teams have gradually cashed out and unlocked tokens. Many still hope for a return to previous highs, but gaming and NFTs remain among crypto’s weakest sectors, especially with poor game quality and fierce competition from online, mobile, and AI games.I am the mid-term intelligence guy.
Today’s market watch highlights a counter-trend short position that deserves close attention.
The market generally bets on a pause in rate hikes in October, but traders called “greater-fools” are still increasing their short bets on $BTC. From yesterday to today, they have invested about $4,381: predicting the market will "fall to 65,000 by year-end" with 136,100 contracts (implied probability 22.5%, value $30,600); and "fall to 70,000 by year-end" with 55,800 contracts (probability 35.5%, value $19,800).
Even more aggressive is Hyperliquid, who still holds 26.97 BTC short positions (average price 69,962, valued at 2.25 million), currently floating a loss of 365,200, which is unsustainable.
Tonight’s US September CPI is key. If inflation exceeds expectations, the market will reprice tightening, which could become a short-term pressure source for BTC.
From a mid-term perspective, institutional selling pressure has not stopped; this level is an extreme battleground between bulls and bears. Don’t chase blindly; hold your chips and wait for direction.

#September CPI announced tonight, Fed rate hike divergence awaits resolution BlackRock has downgraded U.S. stocks from overweight to neutral and shifted preference to short-term bonds. This move is much more nuanced than simply saying "bearish on U.S. stocks."
In its latest weekly commentary, it raised short-term U.S. Treasuries to overweight and long-term U.S. Treasuries to neutral, while still favoring AI-related companies within U.S. stocks. It describes this adjustment as short-term risk management, maintaining confidence in AI fundamentals. The long-term direction remains unchanged; only the risk premium it is willing to pay now has shifted.
I think this is more worth pondering than daily debates about whether AI is in a bubble. For the same good company, when bonds offer more attractive returns, stocks must provide sufficient compensation. You can believe in future growth while temporarily reducing overall equity risk; the two are not mutually exclusive.
Especially since BlackRock now prefers short-term bonds, it shows it is not simply betting on a sharp drop in long-term interest rates. Choosing maturities and deciding the stock-to-bond ratio are two separate considerations. Interpreting all increased U.S. Treasury allocations as a bet on economic recession misses the actual reasons it states.
Supporting AI yesterday and lowering allocation today—is that indecisiveness? The market loves to label institutions as bulls or bears. I actually appreciate the approach of recalculating price and return together.
Of course, this view does not mean all its funds will trade the same way. After reading this, what I want to ask more is: no matter how good a direction is, how much room does the current price still leave investors?
#BlackRock shifts to overweight short-term bonds, downgrades U.S. stock rating Before the inflation data release, let's summarize the recent status of several assets of interest and the prerequisites for their breakout. If high interest rates continue, it will depend on the structural changes of individual crypto assets.
From the market perspective, most are showing range-bound fluctuations. This month, you can pay attention to the trend movements brought by structural events in assets like NEAR, UNI, SOL, and FIL.
Of course, if the expectation of rate cuts returns, everyone will be happy~
$BTC $ETH $SOL Today's market can be summed up in four words — internal troubles and external threats. Bitcoin experienced intense two-way volatility today. During the Asian session, dragged down by South Korea's KOSPI index plunging 5.5% and falling 38% from its June peak, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $81,000, hitting a low near $81,300. Subsequently, strong buying intervened, pushing the price back above $84,000, with an intraday gain reaching 1.55%. However, pressure returned during the European session, and as of this writing, BTC is trading just below $83,000, down about 0.53% over 24 hours. Ethereum also faced pressure, dropping to $2,400 at one point, now around $2,413. In the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network reached $803 million, with 172,100 traders liquidated, of which longs accounted for $694 million, or 86%. Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading volume hit $212 billion, up 66% from $126 billion the previous day; open interest nominal value was $143.4 billion, down 1.58%; liquidation amount surged 284% to $813 million. High trading volume, shrinking open interest, and increased forced liquidations — this is not new buying, but leverage being forcibly cleaned out. The Fear and Greed Index fell from 67 a week ago to 56, still in the "Greed" zone but noticeably cooling. 1. Over the past three days, Bitcoin went through a full pattern of bottoming, rallying, and falling back. On October 12, Asian chip stocks faced massive sell-offs.
