$BERA Damn it! BERA is being used as an ATM by the dog whales again, the 0.2206 level was brutally smashed through, clearly a shakeout to clear leverage, specifically targeting brothers chasing highs.
Looking at the candlestick volume, each rebound is weaker than the last, the top is all trapped positions weighing down, the main force has no intention to support at all. Don’t rush to bottom-fish, there’s still room below with this pattern.
My plan: light short near 0.2206, stop loss at 0.2280, first target 0.2080, if broken look at 0.1980. Don’t stubbornly hold, set your stop loss well.
Follow or not, up to you, profit and loss at your own risk. 👇👇👇Two years ago, I was still tightening screws in the factory
During lunch break, I heard Old Li bragging that he bought a car with $BTC
I took it as a joke
Later, I secretly downloaded an app late at night
Deposited 300 yuan
After buying, I stared at the screen
The smoke burned my hand but I didn't feel it
When it rose by 20 yuan, I almost called my wife
The next day it dropped back, I didn't even want to buy a bun
After a while, I heard people say $ETH is stable
I gritted my teeth and got in
But it was like a rock
Flat for more than ten days
I got annoyed and sold
After selling, it slowly climbed up
I was so angry I slammed the table
Later, the group kept pushing $SOL every day
Saying to buy blindly
I got impulsive and threw in the money I saved for a fishing rod
It turned green right after I entered
So green my palms were sweating
The stop loss just triggered and it bounced back
That day I smoked half a pack squatting in the hallway
Later I quit all those groups
The more they shouted, the more I felt it was a trap
Whitepapers, ecosystems
I couldn't understand any of it
I only knew to watch the red and green and others' profit posts
After losing a lot, I became more honest
Now I only use a little spare money
Like playing a game
No borrowing, no all-in, no staying up late watching the market
When family asks, I just say I'm playing casually
If I earn, I add a dish
If I lose, I treat it as tuition
When others show off profits, I just glance and move on
The scariest thing in this field is getting carried away
Once you do, you forget all plans
Now my position is very small
I check occasionally
Work when I should work
Sleep when I should sleep
You can play but don't let it play you#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？

#俄罗斯放宽柴油出口，霍尔木兹风险仍支撑油价 On October 10, Sun Yuchen stated that TRON's quantum-resistant feature is already running on the testnet and is ready to be deployed to the mainnet at any time. The key point to note here is: currently, it is confirmed to be on the testnet, and no mainnet activation date has been announced.
The quantum-resistant upgrade involves changing the verification method of "who has the authority to use these funds." After the new signature runs successfully in the test environment, the mainnet, wallets, and existing accounts must also be able to support it. Successful testing only completes part of this process.
The Zcash development team Zakura's engineering notes set January as the target for the new signature instruction, focusing on transparent payments; this is also not a confirmed mainnet activation date. For comparison, StarkWare's public migration schedule shows that Starknet already has a demonstration of quantum-resistant accounts, but old accounts will not automatically switch signatures, and bridging and messaging still rely on Ethereum for subsequent migration.
Next, looking at the official mainnet version, activation arrangements, and wallet support is more useful than just focusing on the three words "quantum-resistant." Three types of assets correspond to these three actual upgrade paths. Below is an observation of the spot market.

Watching the AERO order book is raising my blood pressure. It hovered around 0.93 for a long time, then suddenly a big order smashed through and pulled back, is the manipulator shaking out the market here? No news outside, purely funds fighting each other, the K-line is stabbing up and down like a joke.
Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while. I've set a trap around 0.9325, the iron bottom is at 0.90 below, if it breaks, I'll admit defeat. On the upside, watch 1.05 first, only if it holds there is a chance.
This kind of quiet market is the scariest, the scythe is raised without even a sound of wind. If you want to follow, check the order book on the lower market card, don't chase the highs.

👇👇👇Brothers, within 72 hours, whales have scooped up 15,000 BTC. But at the same time, the POAP founder is desperately reducing ETH holdings, twice in six days, 4,000 ETH each time.
Let's first look at the whales.
AiCoin snapshot data shows that during the crypto market pullback, whales increased their holdings by about 15,000 BTC and over 166,000 ETH within 72 hours. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley increased its Bitcoin holdings, with total holdings rising to 10,600 BTC. The total holdings of the US spot Bitcoin ETF surpassed 2 million BTC, accounting for 10.02% of supply, setting a historic record.
Retail investors are panicking, whales are buying up, and ETF holdings are hitting records. This is not a retail-driven market; big money is building positions.
But on the other side, someone is selling.
According to on-chain monitoring, POAP founder Patricio Worthalter deposited 4,000 ETH worth $10.02 million to Gemini six days ago, and today reduced another 4,000 ETH worth $10.02 million. Two times in six days, 8,000 ETH total. He still holds 50,957 ETH on-chain, with a total value exceeding $127 million.
Whales are buying within 72 hours, the founder is reducing holdings over six days. Two completely opposite whale moves in the same market.
Who is right or wrong? Unknown. But one detail is worth noting—the POAP founder’s selling average price is around $2,500, and the whales’ buying also happened in this range. At the same price, some see risk, others see opportunity.
Here’s the strategy directly:
BTC is currently about $83,000, up 0.86% in 24 hours. Short liquidations account for 86.82%, indicating shorts are being systematically squeezed out. $81,000 below is short-term support; holding it means the whale accumulation logic remains intact; $84,000 above is short-term resistance, breaking through requires volume support.
ETH is currently $2,512. The POAP founder’s consecutive selling near $2,500 is a clear short-term selling pressure signal. $2,460 is a key defense line; holding it means funds are absorbing; breaking below $2,300 means selling pressure is out of control, don’t catch a falling knife.
SOL is near $109, linked to BTC and ETH, with no independent catalyst. $105 below is support; breaking it means reducing holdings; $115 above is resistance.
Whales are buying, the founder is selling. Two groups of smart money made completely opposite choices at the same price. The biggest tragedy for retail investors is not following the wrong person, but treating their own principal as chips in the battle between two whale factions.
$BTC $ETH $SOL ETH repeatedly got hammered around the 2500 level in this wave, looking like a pin spike shakeout, but in reality, it was a forced liquidation stampede amid market-wide deleveraging—there was no buying in the lower shadow, only liquidation orders fleeing.
To characterize this move: it’s not that ETH’s own technicals deteriorated; it’s a cross-market chain reaction of forced liquidations triggered by a macro catalyst: the entire market deleveraging synchronously with Bitcoin as the pricing anchor, and ETH, being high Beta, was amplified by both leverage and collateral spirals. The 2500 to 2600 resistance range that had been defended for weeks turned into a ceiling during this stampede, pushing prices back down whenever they tried to bounce.
Volume and price need to be analyzed separately. The volume surge during the drop is real, but the vast majority of that volume consists of forced liquidation orders rather than active turnover—volume spiked on sell-offs, chips changed hands in panic selling, not a bottom formed by balanced long-short turnover. The previous low around 2400 was retested downward; the lower shadow is a residual trace of a stampede created in a thin order book vacuum, not a buildup of support orders.
This round differs from a pure technical breakdown due to collateral negative feedback. Wrapped collateral tokens fell in sync with ETH, being automatically sold as pledged assets, and with no liquidity to absorb the sales, a liquidation spiral formed, tightening the sell-off further. Market makers couldn’t provide counter orders in the thinnest liquidity moments, causing the price to spike down like that pin.
The recovery after the pin spike is short covering after forced liquidations ended, a technical breather, not new money entering. Until the 2500 to 2600 resistance zone is reclaimed, any bounce looks more like a continuation of the downtrend.The world's safest hardware wallet:
How to turn an iPhone into the safest crypto wallet in ten steps:
1. Buy the cheapest brand new iPhone
2. Register a new Apple ID, new email, and set a separate strong password
3. Disable Face ID; change to a lock screen password with over 12 alphanumeric characters
4. Enable "Lockdown Mode"
5. Enable "Erase data after 10 failed password attempts"
6. Before installing any app, turn off iCloud backup
7. Only install wallets from official websites and verify the publisher
8. Generate a new address; write the mnemonic phrase by hand on paper or steel plate, never take photos
9. First transfer a small test amount, confirm everything is correct before moving large funds
10. Turn on airplane mode, do not insert a SIM card, never connect to Wi‑Fi; keep the phone in a safe, store the mnemonic phrase separately
Skipping step 6 or step 8 will render the whole process useless. 🚨 Has the crypto market trend changed? Focus closely on these three signals!
📉 1. ETF fund cooling: BTC and ETH spot ETF inflows are slowing or even turning into net outflows, institutional buying is weakening, and the sustainability of the rebound is being tested.
⚠️ 2. Financing rates dropping: BTC funding rates are approaching zero, bullish sentiment is cooling, but excessive short crowding could also trigger a short squeeze.
🔥 3. Altcoin leverage is high: SOL, XRP, and HYPE contract positions are concentrated; if spot demand is insufficient, liquidations could amplify volatility.
Next to watch: whether ETFs can resume net inflows, if funding rates continue to stay negative, and whether open interest keeps rising.
🎯 My approach: don’t blindly chase the rally, nor rush to bottom-fish! Wait for confirmation between capital flows and price trends before considering the next move.
Personal opinion for reference only, not investment advice. Contract trading carries high risk; pay attention to position sizing and stop losses.The harshest truth in the crypto world: It's not the market that kills you, it's your overconfidence in yourself.
BTC dropped from 87,000 to 80,400, now hovering around 82,500. ETH rolled down from 2,777 to 2,405, bounced back to around 2,500 and stalled.
Who dumped the market this round? The U.S. government deposited 17,733 BTC worth 1.48 billion USD into exchanges over three days. Then the price fell 6.9%. The U.S. government says: "I'm just depositing money." The market says: "You're trying to dump!" The crypto world doesn't need actual selling, just the perception that you are selling.
Even more cunning, in the past 24 hours, liquidations totaled 66.28 million USD, with shorts liquidated for 41.12 million and longs for 25.16 million. Both longs and shorts got crushed. You think you're bottom fishing, but the shorts are laughing at you; you think you're shorting, but the longs are laughing at you. In the end, the exchanges are the ones laughing.
The ETF side is even more interesting. BTC ETFs just saw a net inflow of 250 million USD, while ETH ETFs have had nine consecutive days of net outflows. Institutions vote with their feet: Bitcoin is the favored child, Ethereum is like a free top-up.
So the deepest lesson in crypto has never been "hold and get rich."
It's: You think you're learning to trade, but you're actually paying tuition. Some learn after one payment, some pay until their account is wiped. And the market is always waiting for you to pay the next time. #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？ #PIMCO警告10年期美债收益率或达6% $BTC $ETH $ZEC BTC is overall in a range-bound consolidation pattern today, with the current price fluctuating repeatedly around 82,800. Neither bulls nor bears have established a clear direction for the time being.
From the 4-hour chart perspective, previous attempts to break above 83,500 have failed to hold effectively, and the rebound volume remains weak, indicating that the selling pressure above has not been fully released; meanwhile, the 81,800–82,000 area serves as a short-term key support zone and a capital absorption area after multiple recent pullbacks.
At the daily level, BTC is still in the recovery phase following a correction, with moving averages flattening and no clear trend signals formed, representing a typical range-trading timing market. On the news front, the market is awaiting further guidance on Federal Reserve expectations, and ETF capital flows are intermittently entering and exiting, which increases market uncertainty.
In terms of trading strategy, short-term focus should be on a breakout from the range before following through: if volume expands and BTC holds above 83,500, there is a chance to test resistance around 84,500–85,000; conversely, if it breaks below 81,800 effectively, a secondary dip toward support near 80,500 is likely.
In a choppy market, chasing rallies or panicking on dips is highly discouraged. Avoid heavy positions before a clear breakout. Regardless of bullish or bearish bias, strict stop-losses must be in place to avoid being disrupted by short-term spikes. The market can experience sudden spikes and extreme volatility at any time, so risk management must always be the top priority. I’ve been watching this $CHIP token for a while, and again people are shouting about a short squeeze.
The volume has definitely picked up, more than quadrupled, with nearly a 30% increase in one day, surging to 0.068, and it’s gained half in seven days.
The problem is right here — the rise is too sharp, mostly caused by shorts being forced to cover their positions on the floor; there aren’t many genuine buyers actively buying.
Big players just need to push a little in a small token like this, and shorts line up to jump off the rooftop. Now the RSI is burning hot.
This kind of market is what I fear the most. Some people in the group are already calling for a rebound. Look back at the chat history to see what happened the last time they said "rebound."
So don’t ask me if you can still get in now. At this level, after such a big rise, I’ll just say: it’s already gone up so much, jumping in now means you’re catching the last leg.
If you already hold some, hold tight and don’t add more. If you haven’t entered yet, wait for a pullback. If you can’t even wait for a pullback, then that money probably wasn’t meant for you to earn. Don’t let the group’s hype cloud your judgment. For tokens that surge this fast, the bag holders always come in waves. $CHIP Scrolling Orbit this weekend, three traders showed green on $BTC , $ETH and $DOGE . Same 20x leverage, and I did the math on their liquidation prices: each sat roughly 4.5% below entry. Green today, but a sharp one-day dip can clear that. Meanwhile another post showed $BTC and $ZEC with positive 24h inflow but heavy weekly outflow. Same market, two clocks. Which one do you trade on, and how far is your liquidation line?

#俄罗斯放宽柴油出口，霍尔木兹风险仍支撑油价 $BTC is expected to continue consolidating around 83,000 in the next couple of days. The US spot ETF saw a net inflow of funds on Friday, which indeed raises some hope, but the amount is still small, and the price hasn't broken out of the recent range. Hoping for a steady rise now feels a bit rushed. Looking at the OKX BTC/USDT spot hourly chart, it has been fluctuating roughly between 82,600 and 83,200 in the past day. The slowdown in the downtrend is a good sign, but consolidation can't yet be considered a new upward trend. If it breaks above and holds above the upper boundary of the range, this rebound will be stronger than I expected; if it falls below the lower boundary and continues downward, the consolidation judgment must be revised to continued adjustment. These are the current range boundaries, not guaranteed support or resistance levels. According to Farside statistics, the US spot BTC ETF had a net inflow of $21.1 million on Friday, ending the net outflows of the previous two days. However, from October 5 to 9, there was still a total net outflow of $678.9 million, so the small inflow in one day hasn't made up for the funds that left during the week. The ETF's return to net subscriptions can help spot demand somewhat, but it is only part of the buying side, and Friday's numbers don't explain the entire weekend's price movement. There is no new US trading day fund data today; whether inflows continue next week is more worth watching. This inflow on Friday gave me some hope. I hope the funds keep coming next week and don't turn back to net outflows right after turning positive. #BTC #比特币ETFAfter checking the crypto market data this morning, I'm a bit stunned:
$BTC has a rolling 24-hour net capital outflow of about 650 coins, which is not trivial;
Liquidations in the past 24 hours amount to about $3.35 million, although down from the recent peak, over 500 accounts were forcibly liquidated, indicating that high-leverage longs haven't been fully shaken out yet.
What’s even more painful is the ETFs—
Last week, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $681 million, ending three weeks of inflows;
$ETH ETFs had a net outflow of about $542 million, bleeding for nine consecutive days, reportedly the worst since the end of January;
Even $SOL ETFs ended 14 weeks of inflows and started withdrawing funds.
Retail investors on exchanges are loosening up, and institutions are also reducing risk; this isn’t just an issue with a single coin.
BTC is still hovering around 83,000, ETH stuck at 2,500, SOL around 110—looks like a bottoming out, but actual buying pressure is weak.
With oil prices, US bonds, and interest rate expectations all under pressure, capital first cuts high volatility assets, and altcoins are even more affected.
I’m not calling a bottom. In this environment, the biggest fear is "thinking it’s cheap and going 50x," liquidation won’t be someone else’s problem—it’ll be you at the next spike down.
#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？ It can already be clearly stated that the altcoin season has arrived. Every two or three days, a new altcoin is launched to create hype. Be cautious when chasing the leading altcoins and avoid shorting them.
The safest approach is to buy low in advance when volume increases and closely monitor the trading volume.It's 10.11 again this year, and many newcomers to crypto still don't know about last year's black swan event "10.11 Epic Liquidation." Let's do a quick recap!!!
Core trigger: The US announced a 100% tariff on China + key software export controls, causing global risk aversion to rapidly rise, combined with previously heavy long leverage buildup in the market, triggering a chain reaction of forced liquidations and a stampede.
- Market data: BTC quickly dropped from around 122,000 to a low of 101,500, with an intraday maximum drop close to 13%; ETH fell even more sharply, dropping over 20% at one point, hitting a low of $3,400; SOL, DOGE, and small altcoins generally plummeted, with some low-liquidity tokens experiencing rapid flash crashes.
- Liquidation records: About $19.3 billion was liquidated across the network in 24 hours, with 1.67 million people liquidated, the vast majority being long positions, setting the highest single-day liquidation record in crypto history at the time; HyperLiquid platform was the core venue for this liquidation, with the largest single liquidation being an ETH contract exceeding $200 million.
- Chain reaction: During the crash, some stablecoins briefly lost their peg, market liquidity dried up, and there was almost no buy-side support in a short time.
- Subsequent market: After the stampede, the market recovered and rebounded, but a large number of high-leverage longs were directly cleared.
The above is only a market review and does not constitute investment advice #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？ #俄罗斯放宽柴油出口，霍尔木兹风险仍支撑油价 $BTC $ETH $ZEC The rise is strong, but you also have to see how much it falls back.
$UNI has risen about 24% in the past month, but dropped about 15.5% in a week, and rebounded about 4% in the past 24 hours. It performed well before, and this pullback is indeed heavy. You can't just look at the monthly gains to be optimistic about it, nor can you say the previous rally is completely over just based on the weekly drop.
What I care more about is whether the price can stabilize after this rebound. If it rises for a day and then continuously falls back, the recovery is not enough; if the pullback starts to narrow and gradually recovers lost ground, then it's worth adjusting expectations. For now, consider it a recovery; the rebound is strong, but it hasn't proven it can sustain.
$BTC rose about 6.9% in a month, fell about 2.6% in a week, and the previous rise has not been completely erased by this correction. This performance is not so exciting, but it reminds me: when watching the market, you can't just compare who rebounds faster.
The retracement is small, and the distance to recover is also short. The key is to see if the decline will continue to expand. If the drop gradually narrows, the judgment can be more positive; if it continues to weaken, you can't always rely on previous resistance to decline.
#BTC现货ETF创近三个半月最大单日净流出
$OKB rose about 11.4% in a month, and also rose about 4.1% in a week, maintaining positive returns in both periods. It doesn't need a big bullish candle to make the stage performance look good for now.
However, good past performance does not mean buying later will be easy. I will observe whether it can continue to hold the price steady, rather than counting the next rise in advance just because it has been going well recently. Inactivity leak is not a regular fee deduction; it is an emergency mechanism for finality recovery in the network.
Ethereum requires validators representing at least two-thirds of the staked weight to vote in order to continue finalizing checkpoints. If more than one-third are offline for a long time or fail to vote correctly, the chain may continue to produce blocks but cannot achieve new finality. After multiple epochs without finalization, the inactivity leak gradually reduces the effective weight of non-participating validators, allowing the online and consistent portion to eventually exceed two-thirds again.
This process is not meant to punish a one-time home broadband failure but to provide a recovery path after severe network splits or large-scale offline events. The longer a participant remains on the faulty side, the greater the loss; once the remaining online weight reaches the threshold again, the network can resume finality. Unlike penalties caused by conflicting signatures, it does not require proof of malicious validator behavior.
For $ETH security, continuing to produce blocks does not mean the chain is safely settled. Applications during abnormal periods should monitor both the chain head and finality status, not just the number of new blocks. Trading platforms may also extend confirmation waiting times accordingly. The inactivity leak provides recovery capability but ensures that large-scale failures come at a cost.$STRK Seeing this kind of thing makes me hesitant to get involved. When the overall market drops, it surges. The core logic is that the narrative has changed; it's purely emotional narrative hype, lacking the requirements of technical analysis. Generally, I don't get involved with such coins unless I want to take a gamble and play a little, then I might place a bet to try my luck.
STRK New Narrative｜Stop focusing on the old ZK story👀
Many people are still looking at STRK with old perspectives, but what’s being hyped now is no longer just Ethereum L2 scaling.
Currently, the market is hyping three major new stories: First, exploring the transformation into an independent L1, preemptively deploying quantum-resistant encryption, aiming to get the quantum security label before Ethereum, though this is currently just a proposal and not implemented.
Second, launching the privacy module STRK20, supporting encrypted token transfers, and a privacy version of strkBTC, targeting privacy trading needs of whales and institutions.
Third, the BTC staking flywheel, allowing BTC to participate in network staking, attracting Bitcoin community funds to enter, driving STRK staking demand.
⚠️ But be clear about reality: the market is more about speculative expectations; on-chain real income has not risen correspondingly, and the L1 transformation is a long road ahead. A good story doesn’t mean immediate fulfillment.#Ledger confirms a hardware implant found in one affected device
[Old Leek Observation] Can the one I bought from Chain Mall five years ago still be used......
There has been a key development in the previous CryptoBilis wallet fund anomaly incident.
On October 10, Ledger confirmed: an unauthorized hardware implant was found inside a device of an affected user. This means the investigation is no longer just about stolen funds and suspicious devices; at least one involved device has been confirmed to have a physical hardware anomaly.
What is truly alarming is that such risks may occur in the supply chain stage, and not necessarily due to vulnerabilities in the blockchain or wallet software itself.
🔍 There are three key points about this matter:
1️⃣ The risk may be hidden before the device is delivered. If the hardware was tampered with during the sales chain, even if the device looks normal, users cannot judge its safety based on appearance alone.
2️⃣ The extent of fund loss is still not fully determined. On-chain analysts previously estimated losses exceeding $86 million, but this is not the final figure confirmed by Ledger; it is also not yet concluded whether the implant directly caused the related fund theft.
3️⃣ Official channels and device sources are both very important. Ledger stated there is currently no indication that its own systems were breached; the investigation focuses on Southeast Asian distributor CryptoBilis. This does not mean all Ledger devices have issues. $BTC $ETH Everyone must go through at least 3-5 near-bankruptcy experiences alone in the financial markets, including any of your investments, which make you shiver and feel powerless, then grit your teeth and endure the pressure by yourself (instead of relying on your parents for comfort and shelter). Only through this whole process can you develop enough vigilance and respect for risk, and gradually learn to master it.
The earlier you have such experiences, the better; consider it tuition. All the failures and tuition fees you pay when you are young will still seem cheap and worthwhile when you look back 20 years later.
Without going through this baptism, it’s like a person who has never been vaccinated—once exposed to harsh realities, they are prone to suffer devastating losses and never recover.$ETH Who says this market can only be watched dying on the short side now? Let's look at the bullish structure by expanding the timeframe a bit.
2512 surged high then pulled back with these two bearish candles looking scary, but the lower lows are steadily pushing up step by step, starting from a spike at 2405, with lows holding at 2470 and 2485. Just now, volume surged to break through the 2500 level that had been consolidating for several days.
Just after touching 2512, it dropped back to 2504, testing the newly broken 2500 level. The previous ceiling above has now become the floor beneath. As long as the 1-hour close stays above 2500, all the sell orders dumped by the bears are firmly absorbed at 2500.
If the 2500 base holds steady, the bulls will gather strength, and the 2512 level won't be able to stop the price. The price will follow the momentum straight toward 2560 or even the 2580 gap that was dropped the day before yesterday. $BTC $MAGIC #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？ #跟着OKX打卡2049 Midday stuck near the daily high, $BTC has not yet surpassed $83,169.
Current market conditions show BTC at $83,054, up 0.53% in 24 hours.
The price has reached about 80% of the 24-hour range, just over a hundred dollars short of the high at $83,169.
Overnight it roughly stayed between $82,924 and $83,169, and the current 4-hour chart remains within this narrow band.
Above, the October 9 high of $83,530 has not been surpassed.
The reason it’s hovering near the high sideways is mainly because selling pressure has not noticeably increased.
However, the capital inflow has not kept up.
On October 9, ETF net inflow was $21.1 million, IBIT bought about $22.4 million, while FBTC still saw an outflow of about $3.6 million.
From October 5 to 9, there was still a net outflow of about $679 million; this single-day inflow cannot cover the entire week’s redemptions.
Futures funding rates are close to neutral, open interest is about 30,100 BTC, approximately $2.5 billion, and in the past 24 hours, futures positions increased by only about 0.68%.
Price is near the high, leverage is almost unchanged, more like spot trading grinding, not leveraged buying.
Short term, watch $83,169 first.
If volume breaks through, it will continue to be treated as the upper boundary of the range.
If it falls below $82,924, look back to the $82,562 area.I have remembered the name Zhao Zaiyu. A professor at Hansung University, who recently spoke a hard truth.
South Korea banned ICOs in 2017, so what happened? Klaytn issued tokens in Singapore, WEMIX is also a Singaporean entity, Metabora moved to Dubai, and the NeoFin Foundation relocated to Abu Dhabi.
To put it plainly, it's not that projects don't want to stay, but they can't stay.
I've done similar things. A couple of years ago, I helped a friend review a small Korean project; the team was in Seoul, but the token issuer was registered overseas. At the time, I didn't understand and thought it was unnecessary. Later I realized that local entities can't even open bank accounts, and custody and verification processes are completely absent.
When the system doesn't provide a path, people have to find a detour.
Experts say what Korea lacks is not leniency, but clarity. I agree with this. Market makers fear not strictness, but uncertainty about boundaries. If you don't even have rules, who dares to put core functions back?
So don't rush to say Korea will loosen regulations. This news has no direct impact on the market, but it indicates one thing: global regulation is shifting from "blocking" to "loosening."
Regarding this wave in Korea, do you think they genuinely want to change, or are they forced by capital outflow?

#俄罗斯放宽柴油出口，霍尔木兹风险仍支撑油价 I spent quite a while looking at that on-chain screenshot. Brother Maji really changed his strategy this time—no more long-short hedging, all three positions in BTC, ETH, and SOL are short, with a combined position value of over 600 million U.
Breaking it down is quite interesting. For BTC, 2,853 coins at 5x leverage, opened around 76,380, with an unrealized loss close to 19.3 million; ETH has 111,800 coins, also 5x leverage, opened near 2,318, with an unrealized loss of 19.7 million; SOL has 741,900 coins, 10x leverage, opened at 94.6, with an unrealized loss of 11.7 million.
Among the three, SOL is the toughest—it’s currently priced about a dozen points away from its cost, and it’s the only one leveraged up to 10x.
But if you say he’ll get liquidated, I disagree.
The liquidation prices for the three are roughly 137,200, 3,890, and 314 respectively. What does that mean? BTC needs to rise over 60%, ETH over 50%, and SOL nearly double to hit those lines.
More importantly, he’s still collecting money. The funding fees from the three positions add up to nearly 9.5 million U—longs are paying him interest every day.
So he’s holding steady. An unrealized loss of over 50 million sounds scary, but his real cost is time, not margin.
I have just one question: when the funding fees eventually turn positive, will he still be this calm? $BTC $ETH $SOL $BTC is targeting $84,000 after clearing liquidity below. This price level coincides with a large number of short liquidation orders—if the price breaks through this level over the weekend, I wouldn't be surprised.
If we reclaim $84,000, we'll be back above the lower bound of the range, opening space for further upside. The key is whether it can hold after reaching this level. A breakout and hold could trigger the next wave of the rally.
Reclaiming the range after sweeping liquidity is a textbook move. Watch for a price pullback and then see if the bulls can hold. $BTC $ETH $SNDK #CPI and PPI Announcements Imminent, Interest Rate Hike Expectations Face Test
Before next Tuesday's inflation data release, $BTC is very likely to remain volatile within the 80500-83500 range, mainly due to three factors:
1. Capital is cautious, making it difficult to break out into a trending market.
Spot ETFs continue to see net outflows, and institutional funds show no active willingness to increase positions.
Approaching key macro data, leveraged funds will proactively reduce positions to hedge risks, and bulls will not aggressively push up the coin price in advance. The market is mostly sweeping stop-losses back and forth within the range; a one-sided major move will only choose direction after the data release.
2. The market's core current trade is the marginal change in interest rate hike expectations, not the absolute level of inflation itself.
US Treasury yields and the DXY remain high, and the market has already priced in a tighter environment. #PIMCO warns 10-year US Treasury yields could reach 6%
If CPI and PPI are only slightly above expectations, short-term sell-offs after the pulse are likely to recover;
If inflation significantly exceeds expectations, December rate hike expectations will quickly heat up, US Treasury yields will continue to rise, and BTC will face a deep correction. Conversely, if inflation is weaker than expected and rate hike concerns cool down, there will be room for a rebound.
3. The boost effect from geopolitical positives is fading.
The previous rebound from easing geopolitical risks was essentially a decline in risk premium and did not change the underlying logic of high interest rates suppressing asset valuations.
Geopolitical news can only bring short-term pulses and cannot counteract macro liquidity. Before the inflation data release, this part of the positive effect has basically been digested by the market, making it difficult to continue pushing the coin price upward. #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息
The minutes of the September FOMC were released, with most officials leaning toward another rate hike.
The crypto prices have risen a little these days 🤏, and many people are getting excited again 😆! Is the bull market coming back?!
People might think the Fed won’t raise rates for now, so the bears are relieved, causing a technical price rebound. But the real trend hasn’t changed. Most in the minutes are still considering another hike by year-end, and Goldman Sachs even thinks there might be two. 😱
In early October, spot ETFs of $BTC and $ETH combined saw outflows exceeding $1.2 billion. On the 7th, Bitcoin alone had nearly $500 million outflow in a single day, the highest since the end of June, with BlackRock withdrawing over $200 million by itself. Institutions are still pulling out.
However, whales might be quietly accumulating at the lows, as the coins on exchanges are decreasing, and long-term holders show little sign of selling.
Until the trend reverses, don’t mistake the rebound for the start of a bull market.
Without new capital inflows, the bull market will definitely be full of twists and turns!

Yesterday's sideways move was quiet all day, hitting the upper boundary of the three levels given, but only reached it by evening—at 22:00 that volume surge pushed it up to 2516 in one go, then touched 2518 at midnight, just 9 points shy of the stop loss at 2527, no stop run. The most ironic thing in the $ETH crypto circle happened: you can't hold when heavily invested, but when lightly invested, you keep profiting all the way! 😂
In the past two days, I opened several small ant positions, originally just testing the waters with a small amount, but unexpectedly all of them are profitable!
🚀 $MAGIC: Profit +110% 🚀 $ETH: Profit +90% 🚀 $MET: Profit +50%
I really didn't expect that these casually opened ant positions would all be winners!
Thinking carefully, if I had really gone heavy, I probably would have cashed out and run long ago, and wouldn't have gotten such high returns.
Indeed, in the crypto world, sometimes it's not about who is braver, but who can hold on!
However, the market isn't closed yet! 👀
Seeing $STRK surge so fiercely these days, I opened a short position again.
The more it rises, the more I want to see if it can pull back a bit. Of course, shorting can't be based on feeling alone; if the market is wrong, stop loss when needed.
Small positions for trial and error, large positions with caution. The profit you actually take home is the real profit! 💰

Every wave I died halfway up the mountain—too scared to chase on the rise, and when I chased, it pulled back; on the drop, I tried to catch the bottom but caught the downtrend continuation. Got slapped back and forth, and my capital got cut again.
Cause Analysis
No pattern so itchy hands: Just swore yesterday to wait for a 15-minute triangle, but today I forgot it all when it surged.
Only trade volatility, not structure: Small coins can wipe out the whole position with one spike, yet I’m still trading it with BTC mindset.
All in 50x playing with life: Can't hold when winning, stubborn when losing, want to run at every small rebound, missed the full wave entirely.
Brothers keep holding the position, when will this end.A few lesser-known facts about the crypto world that 99% of people don't know, losing money without even knowing why:
First, buying more doesn't mean a higher cost. Buying 10,000 units of a coin at 10U, then buying another 10,000 units when it drops to 5U, many people calculate the cost as 7.5U. That's wrong; the real cost is 6.67U. Miscalculating the cost leads to a skewed perception of losses, making it harder to endure.
Second, small profits can roll into big money. An account with 100,000U, earning just 1% daily before exiting.
Third, if the probability is right, you can turn things around. With a 60% success rate, setting both take profit and stop loss at 10%, and operating 100 times consecutively, theoretically, the return can reach 300%. The logic is sound, but those without patience and discipline are doomed to ruin this system.
Fourth, the higher the leverage, the faster you die. For a 10,000U account, using 2% to 5% base position with 20x leverage is enough. 100x or 125x leverage is truly suicidal. Leverage is a magnifier of greed; if you can't control your mindset, even the best opportunities are wasted.
To be honest, choosing coins and indicators is secondary; position and capital management are the core. Whether spot or futures, human nature is always the biggest enemy, and greed is the real opponent.
In a bull market, you must hold some mainstream coins; you can try small positions in small coins, but don't go all in. Small coins can create wealth, but those without practical application support fall as fast as they rise. There are many opportunities in the crypto world, but those who understand the rules, manage positions well, and have patience are the ones who last till the end.The stronger the rebound looks, the easier it is to forget how painful the previous drop was. In this wave of recovery, do you trust BTC or ETH more? When watching the market, I had a very real feeling: BTC was pulled back from around 80.4K to 82.8K, which looks good visually, but ETH’s sentiment didn’t improve in sync. On October 9, the spot BTC ETF recorded a net inflow of $21.1 million, while the ETH ETF was still seeing an outflow of $56.1 million. One is absorbing funds, the other leaking — this temperature difference is more worth watching than the price itself. I don’t want to simply call this a "capital rotation." It feels more like the market is re-selecting: willing to give BTC some trust first, but still cautious about ETH. ETC is even more subtle; it lacks BTC’s institutional entry and ETH’s ecosystem narrative, so its rises often rely on sentiment, and its falls are the easiest to lack support. So what ETC bulls need now is not wishful thinking, but confirmation. From the sector rotation perspective, the current strength order is BTC leading, ETH lagging, and ETC following. If this structure continues, altcoins overall will find it harder to sustain a lasting rally because risk appetite hasn’t truly risen, it’s just a partial recovery. Conversely, if ETH can follow up with a volume-backed bullish candle and ETF outflows narrow, then altcoins will have breathing room, and BTC can shift from "standing alone strong" to "leading the pack." My own observation rhythm is: watch if BTC can hold around 80K, watch if ETH’s rebound has follow-through, and watch if ETC is just going to pulse briefly. Chasing the first rebound... #台积电Q3营收创新高，10月15日财报还有哪些看点？
TSMC's Q3 revenue hits a new high; what other highlights are expected in the October 15 earnings report?
TSMC's third-quarter revenue has set a new historical record, with the cumulative revenue for the first three quarters already surpassing the full-year 2025 forecast ahead of schedule. The leading foundry will hold its Q3 earnings call on October 15, with market discussions focusing on the sustainability of AI demand, the progress of 2nm mass production, and capital expenditure plans for 2027 entering a critical window.
Revenue data exceeds expectations across the board
TSMC's revenue data released on October 8 shows that consolidated revenue for September was approximately NT$511.857 billion, down 0.6% month-over-month but up 54.6% year-over-year, marking the second-highest monthly revenue in history. The consolidated revenue for Q3 totaled NT$1.494242 trillion, up 17.62% quarter-over-quarter and 50.95% year-over-year, setting a new record for six consecutive quarters. Using the exchange rate of 32 NT$ per USD assumed at the July earnings call, this equates to about US$46.7 billion, exceeding the high end of the guidance at US$45.8 billion and surpassing the average analyst estimate of NT$1.46 trillion from LSEG.
The cumulative revenue for the first three quarters this year reached NT$3.898727 trillion, up 41.11% year-over-year, already exceeding the full-year 2025 revenue forecast of NT$3.8091 trillion. Achieving last year's full-year earnings in just nine months is unprecedented in TSMC's history.
Analysts believe that strong AI demand combined with increased stocking for new smartphone models are the main drivers behind the record Q3 revenue.
Key focus of the earnings call: AI demand visibility
AI demand remains the core theme of the October 15 earnings call. AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed during her visit to Taiwan last week that the company plans to significantly increase AI chip supply in 2027 and continues to discuss advanced wafer capacity needs for CPUs and GPUs with TSMC. With new platforms like NVIDIA Rubin, AMD MI450, and Google TPU ramping up, alongside cloud service providers expanding investments in self-developed ASICs, the market is watching whether TSMC will further revise upward its AI demand and CoWoS capacity outlook, and whether AI-related revenue growth visibility can extend through 2027.
Goldman Sachs recently noted in a research report that, benefiting from sustained strong AI/HPC demand, TSMC's Q3 revenue is expected to grow 15.3% quarter-over-quarter, followed by an additional 11.0% growth in Q4. Analysts on average expect TSMC's Q3 net profit to increase 64% year-over-year to NT$740.8 billion (approximately US$23.2 billion).
Progress on 2nm mass production
The second major focus is the 2nm process. Next-generation flagship chips from Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek are gradually adopting the 2nm process. Supply chain sources indicate that Apple, NVIDIA, AMD, Qualcomm, and MediaTek have recently increased capacity bookings for the N2 family, showing that 2nm demand is expanding from smartphones to AI and HPC simultaneously. Investors will closely monitor N2 capacity ramp-up, yield, revenue contribution, and subsequent mass production progress of N2P and A16.
Capital expenditure for 2027: Goldman Sachs significantly revises upward
Capital expenditure is one of the most closely watched financial metrics in this earnings call. TSMC has already raised its capital budget this year to between US$60 billion and US$64 billion, with 70-80% allocated to advanced processes. Goldman Sachs maintains its 2026 capex estimate at US$64 billion but has raised the 2027 forecast from US$78 billion to US$85 billion and the 2028 forecast from US$82 billion to US$98 billion, mainly reflecting rising equipment costs and initial spending on a potential new plant in Texas. Citigroup believes that supported by strong revenue prospects, TSMC's capital expenditure could rise to US$81 billion and US$90 billion in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
Analyst Charles Shum pointed out, "The Q3 earnings call will focus more on issues for 2027 and beyond. Any updates related to capital expenditure could test the guidance on overseas capacity dilution."
Overseas expansion and wafer pricing
In July, TSMC announced an additional US$100 billion investment in Arizona, bringing its planned total U.S. investment to US$265 billion, with plans to build four advanced semiconductor fabs, increasing the number of U.S. facilities to 12. The dilution effect of overseas expansion on gross margin will be a key question from investors.
Regarding wafer pricing, supply chain sources say TSMC has confirmed a wafer price adjustment starting January 2027, with increases ranging from about 3% to 6%, with higher hikes for advanced processes like 2nm and 3nm; earlier reports from Nikkei suggested increases could be as high as 10%. Morgan Stanley and Yuanta Investment Consulting estimate that wafer prices for advanced processes could rise 5% to 10% in 2027, potentially pushing gross margins to or near the 70% threshold.
Elon Musk Terafab cooperation rumors
Foreign media reported that Elon Musk is building a "Terafab" mega wafer fab in Texas and seeking cooperation with TSMC, a rumor that has attracted market attention ahead of the earnings call. However, Musk clarified on the X platform on October 7 that the only consideration currently is whether TSMC might lease part of the planned facility, with no operational involvement. Hongyuan Investment Consulting analysts noted that TSMC has always insisted on 100% self-operation. The 2nm or 16A most advanced processes targeted by Musk are TSMC's core lifeblood. Such cooperation could not only cause overcapacity but also pose a much higher risk of core technology leakage than the benefits of contract manufacturing, making the likelihood of a deal very low.
Market expectations and risks
Foreign and domestic institutional investors generally hold optimistic views on TSMC's Q3 profitability. Morgan Stanley estimates Q3 EPS at NT$30.74 (above the market consensus of NT$28.28) and a gross margin of 67.5%. KGI Securities and Yuanta Investment Consulting point out that although 2nm mass production and overseas fab construction bring cost pressures, with capacity utilization remaining high and product mix improving, Q3 gross margin could reach a high range of 67.3% to 68%.
Risks include depreciation pressure during the early 2nm mass production phase, gross margin dilution from overseas expansion, and uncertainties from geopolitical and tariff policies, all variables that the market needs to continuously monitor. The October 15 earnings call will be a critical juncture to verify whether AI demand can sustain through 2027 and to assess TSMC's profitability ceiling.Short positions were liquidated, whales are bottom-fishing
BTC 82,996, up 0.86%; ETH 2,512, up 1.50%. After dipping to 80,427 on Thursday, it rebounded, but 83,000 remains a key watershed; failure to hold above it is just a correction.
ETF: BTC spot ETF net inflow of 253 million, second net inflow this week. Fidelity leads with 117 million, Ark 97.6 million, Bitwise 38.8 million, BlackRock IBIT unchanged. ETH ETFs have been bleeding for 9 consecutive days, with a net outflow of 56.1 million over 9 days.
Liquidations: 21.85 million liquidated across the entire market in 24 hours, shorts account for 86.82%, 6.6 times that of longs. ETH liquidations at 5.19 million, shorts account for 91%. Shorts were crushed, short squeeze momentum released.
Whales: Increased holdings by 15,000 BTC, over 166,000 ETH, and 45 million XRP in 72 hours. Morgan Stanley increased holdings to 10,600 BTC. Total US BTC ETF holdings surpassed 2 million BTC, accounting for 10.02% of supply.
Macro: US September CPI and Federal Reserve Chair Waller's speech are the core variables this week. SEC and CFTC clarified that BTC, ETH, XRP, and 3 other asset types are generally not securities.
Key levels: BTC resistance above at 83,000, support below at 80,427, further break targets 77,000. ETH heavy short positions between 2,530-2,560 resistance, support at 2,405 spike low. Today STRK surged directly by over 50%, hovering around $0.11-0.12, with trading volume in the hundreds of millions; it's the most explosive among altcoins.
The trigger was StarkWare's CEO mentioning they are considering making Starknet independent from Ethereum L2 to become a standalone Layer 1, aiming to build the first quantum-resistant network by 2027—earlier than Ethereum's own roadmap. Once this narrative emerged, the market immediately repriced it from "Ethereum affiliate" to "quantum-resistant sovereign public chain."
But honestly, it's still just "actively considering"; no governance vote has started, no plan released. Historically, such transformation considerations tend to pump and then cool off quickly... Also, looking at the data, the real daily active users and on-chain revenue don't quite match this price surge; futures volume far exceeds spot, with significant leverage built up.
Short-term attention is fine, but don't treat it as mid-to-long-term logic. If it ultimately doesn't materialize or Ethereum accelerates its own quantum resistance, the premium could retract quickly. Please do your own research, friends. $STRK $ZEC 【This ID's Viewpoint】
This 30-minute chart of ZEC shows a continuous downtrend from the high of 1699, with successive drops, finally hitting a low of 1112.06. Currently, it is only a slight rebound after a major drop, not a reversal signal. The price faces resistance at the moving average during the rebound, and the bulls lack offensive strength; the overall trend still leans bearish.
Entry: Consider short positions if the rebound meets resistance and weakens
Stop Loss: Place above the recent small rebound high
Chan Theory Structure:
The 30-minute level shows a standard downtrend, with two consecutive purple descending consolidation zones, followed by a break downward hitting the 1112.06 low. This is just a minor secondary rebound after the downward break, and the price has not yet reached the lower boundary of the previous consolidation zone, indicating a continuation correction within the downtrend. Short-term moving averages have just turned but have not formed an upward reversal structure. As long as the price cannot return inside the second purple consolidation zone, the major downtrend structure remains intact.
Wyckoff Volume-Price Observation:
Each previous downward break was accompanied by high-volume bearish candles indicating escape; in contrast, this rebound's bullish candles show volume lagging behind, with volume continuously shrinking during the rebound. The price slightly rises but lacks increased buying volume, representing a passive rebound after overselling. Selling pressure still lurks above, and the bulls lack sufficient support.
Core Observation:
Focus on the resistance at the lower boundary of the previous purple consolidation zone. If the rebound cannot break through this level, the bearish trend will continue; only a volume-backed stabilization within the consolidation zone can change the current downtrend pattern.The first time I heard someone talk about this

Waiting online, urgent! But I actually already have the answer in my heart—definitely not suitable! Absolutely do not add; adding positions is like pulling the plug on yourself!

This mess is now a bottomless pit; when the market falls, it leads the charge down, when the market rises, it plays dead. BCH: full position 10X, floating profit +69.34U (+150.72%), base position 460U, still the strongest pillar on the field. $BCH $SOL: full position 20X, floating profit +34.63U (+44.31%).
The 0.10% lifeline! As long as the market fluctuates down by 0.1%, the hard-earned profits from BCH and SOL, along with my principal, will be instantly liquidated on the full position! Not a scrap left! Adding to the losing ETH position at this critical moment is not bottom fishing; it’s like lighting a bomb!
Moreover, ETH currently shows no signs of stabilization, purely taking hits. What do I use to add? Drawing margin from BCH and SOL will only speed up liquidation, and adding more funds is just handing my head to the exchange.

When demand grows, the teams building prediction markets on Dogecoin at least have the right direction.
This year, 11 companies have applied for the DCM license, and the CFTC has approved 6. When so many are rushing to enter, it means there’s money to be made in this field. $DOGE has already secured a position on this front.Just saw that POAP founder worthalter transferred another 4,000 ETH to Gemini six hours ago, worth about $10.02 million; in six days, he has already sold 8,000 ETH, cashing out $20.81 million, still holding 51,468 ETH, valued at $129 million.
In my opinion, project founders are the fastest to exit, while retail investors are still waiting for Ethereum to break new highs, but they have been moving out weekly 🤣

$BTC 1. The Three Core Risks 1. Dilution Sword Hanging: 20% Circulation, FDV is 5 Times Market Cap • Total supply 10 billion, circulation about 2 billion, circulation rate 20% • FDV / Market Cap ≈ 5 times, meaning the future circulating supply can at most multiply by 4 • Team and investor shares are generally said to unlock around April 2027, with a 12-month cliff followed by 36 months of linear release This calculation is straightforward: buyers now are betting that protocol growth can outperform the unlocking selling pressure in the coming years. Every unlocking window is a potential selling pressure event. This is the biggest anchor for CHIP's mid-to-long-term pricing, not short-term noise. 2. Governance Token, No Direct Profit Sharing CHIP is a governance token, it does not represent equity, debt, nor does it have claims on protocol assets or earnings. Earnings are on sUSDai, not on CHIP. What CHIP can do is: • Vote on governance (collateral whitelist, interest rate curves, fee toggles, treasury usage) • Possibly implement an insurance staking module in the future, but whether to share fees or buy back and burn must go through governance voting; nothing counts until implemented This means: protocol TVL increases, loans are issued, sUSDai pays interest to depositors, CHIP holders do not necessarily profit. Price depends on narrative and tokenomics, not cash flow. Pure governance tokens in DeFi historically trade at a discount compared to those with fee sharing. 3. Token Concentration, Top 10 Hold 86% • Top 10 $STRK transaction list only fluctuates by a few thousand or a few U, so why does the 24-hour trading volume show millions or even tens of millions of U?Oh my god, it seems like the $STRK weekly chart is similar to the explosive $ZEC weekly chart? Could it become the next ZEC?
From the weekly technical pattern alone, there are indeed similarities.
But to become the next ZEC, it lacks the most core element that ZEC had at the time — real on-chain demand.
The driving forces are completely different.
ZEC's surge was supported by real on-chain data:
· Shielded pool balance surged: ZEC held in the privacy protection pool increased from about 1.7 million to over 4.5 million, accounting for more than 27% of the circulating supply.
· Halving logic: After the halving in November 2024, daily new issuance will drop from about 3,600 to 1,800, making supply contraction real.
· Governance upgrade: NU6.1 allocates 8% of block rewards to community grants and 12% to a fund controlled by token holders, a verifiable on-chain governance change.
STRK currently relies on narrative and news:
· "Quantum-resistant L1" transformation: The CEO proposed considering becoming an independent L1, aiming to achieve quantum resistance by 2027; after the news, STRK rose about 26% in 24 hours.
· strkBTC incentives: Launched on October 2, covering bridge fees for the first 100 cross-chain BTC, attracting Bitcoin capital inflow.
But these catalysts share a common problem: they change "expectations," not the "present."
I thought $NIGHT was already impressive, but I didn't expect strk, which has maintained over 20% gains for four consecutive days, to be even more impressive. #俄罗斯放宽柴油出口，霍尔木兹风险仍支撑油价
On the evening of October 10, the Russian government announced a partial lifting of the diesel export ban, with the related measures taking effect that day. This move aims to implement the agreement reached between Russian President Putin and U.S. President Trump. According to the decision, Russia will currently allow the export of 500,000 tons of diesel to the international market. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak stated that Russia will immediately begin lifting diesel export restrictions ahead of schedule, planning to supply an additional 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and all partners in October, increasing to 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons in December. Previously, the Russian government had extended the export ban on diesel, marine fuel, and gas oil producers until October 31; this early lifting marks a marginal easing on the supply side.
The U.S. has simultaneously made policy adjustments. On October 9, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License No. 135, allowing the sale, delivery, and import of Russian-origin diesel until April 7, 2027. Trump announced a phased increase in diesel supply totaling approximately 4.8 million tons.
This policy shift directly suppressed the extreme premium in the diesel market. S&P Global data shows that the NYMEX near-month ultra-low sulfur diesel crack spread to WTI declined by $6.45/barrel to $96.80/barrel, with diesel futures falling 4.57% to $4.5235 per gallon. ING reported that the ICE light diesel crack spread dropped from about $85 per barrel mid-last week to around $70. Heating oil futures fell as much as 5% in post-settlement trading, leading losses across the energy sector. The diesel crack spread is a core indicator of refinery profits; as diesel prices retreat, refinery processing willingness will marginally improve, potentially stabilizing crude oil demand.
However, the extent of supply relief remains uncertain. In Q3, Russian diesel exports were only 150,000 barrels per day, about 600,000 tons per month, with fulfillment capacity already constrained by refining capacity. One German energy chemical firm pointed out that Russia’s incremental supply is limited and does not fundamentally solve the global shortage of middle distillates; overall relief may be limited. For refineries such as Sinopec, the slope of the diesel crack spread decline depends more on the G7’s release schedule and Middle East developments than on Russia’s monthly incremental tens of thousands of tons.
Risks in the Strait of Hormuz continue to provide a floor for oil prices. The UK Maritime Trade Operations office reported that multiple vessels have been attacked in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. Two oil tankers and one liquefied petroleum gas carrier were hit by "unidentified projectiles" on October 3 and 4, and another oil tanker was turned back by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on October 5. The senior advisor to the IRGC Commander publicly stated that a few "illegal navigation routes" in the Strait of Hormuz will soon be closed, and unless Iran’s "legitimate" demands are met, this situation will persist. Kpler data shows that only seven bulk commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on October 6, less than half the average of the past seven days and the lowest level since July 23.
Freight rates have risen to record highs, with tanker attacks increasing transport risks in the waterway. Renewed conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Yemeni Houthi forces adds further uncertainty to the market. JPMorgan analysts noted that ship-to-ship transfers occupy more vessels, meaning the longer each ship spends transporting cargo, the more ships are needed to move the same amount of crude.
As of the close on October 10, Brent crude rose about 0.4%, settling near $105 per barrel after a more than 4% surge on Thursday; WTI November futures rose 0.4%, settling around $91.85 per barrel. The prospect of large volumes of Russian diesel entering the global market, combined with rising supply risks in the Strait of Hormuz, forms the core contradiction in the current oil market.
Looking ahead, amid the triangular game of easing crude, tight refined products, and persistent geopolitical premiums, oil prices are likely to fluctuate widely at high levels. Any disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, the Mandeb Strait, or Middle Eastern oil facilities could amplify near-term contract volatility. The direction of the diesel crack spread decline is relatively certain, but the speed depends on Russia’s actual export fulfillment capacity and the pace of Middle East developments. In the short term, geopolitical risks will continue to support oil prices and are unlikely to fully dissipate.$BTC : Consolidating after the drop; weekend volatility should stay low, with Wednesday's CPI as the next catalyst.
