On October 12, Bitcoin rebounded from $80,427 (a 7-day low) to $83,760, rising about 0.8% in 24 hours, but the weekly chart still shows a drop of about 3.3%. The 24-hour total network liquidations were approximately $162 million, with short liquidations accounting for $113 million, or 69.5%. The main driver of this rebound was short sellers at low levels being forced to buy to close their positions. Earlier this week, the momentum challenging $87,000 mainly came from futures positions rather than spot demand. The spot trading volume of Bitcoin on major exchanges has dropped more than 75% from the peak at the end of 2024, falling back to levels seen at the end of the 2023 bear market. History also provides a cautionary example: from September 21-22, Bitcoin surged vertically from the $82,000 range to above $87,000, rising over 7% in 24 hours, with liquidations exceeding $750 million, of which $648.3 million were shorts—yet it failed to hold and fell back near $82,000. Around $83,000 is both the average cost zone for ETF investors and a key threshold corresponding to the "higher high" in previous technical patterns, which has been repeatedly tested in recent weeks. This creates the current awkward situation: short covering pushes the price up, but ETF funds withdraw as the price approaches the cost line. Coupled with the 10-year US Treasury yield reaching a 24-year high, the attractiveness of interest-bearing assets has greatly increased, further suppressing the relative value of non-yielding Bitcoin. The market estimates a 67% probability that October will see a drop to $80,000 or below, and a 24% probability of falling to $75,000; meanwhile, it believes #阿斯麦Q3财报10月14日公布，EUV订单成焦点
Full-year guidance has 30% pinned on the last quarter.
▪️ Released on 10/14 at 21:00, 18 analysts expect revenue of €11.7264 billion, +56.02%
▪️ Net profit expected at €4.15 billion, +95.30%
▪️ First three quarters: Q1 €8.767 billion, Q2 €9.3265 billion, Q3 expected €11.7264 billion, totaling €29.82 billion
▪️ Full-year guidance raised from €36–40 billion to €43–45 billion
▪️ Difference: Q4 needs to deliver €13.18–15.18 billion, which is 1.12–1.29 times the Q3 expectation
▪️ Closing price on 10/9 was $1,780.34, 52-week range $941.57–$1,997.37
The disagreement is not whether Q3 beats expectations, but that 30% of the full-year guidance depends on the last quarter.
About 70% of the first three quarters are realized, with the remaining 30% pinned on Q4. Visibility for Q4 comes from orders rather than shipments in the quarter — revenue is from old orders delivered today, while bookings represent next year's production schedule.
The direction is to wait and see — bookings need to be flat and Q4 guidance not below €14.1 billion to be considered; any downward revision is invalid.$BTC held its rebound amid ETF capital outflows, which is more worth watching than how much it has risen.
💰 Money is withdrawing, but the price hasn't collapsed; let's watch 82,000 together.
Last week, spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about $679 million, the largest weekly outflow since late June. On the 7th and 8th alone, $485 million and $244 million were withdrawn respectively; on the 7th, BlackRock IBIT saw an outflow of $208 million, and on the 8th, Fidelity FBTC had an outflow of $197 million.
The price didn't collapse on the other side: as of the afternoon of the 12th, it was about $83,874, with the Sunday high at $84,145. Nine of the top ten coins by market cap are rising.
Money is withdrawing, but the price hasn't collapsed.
So whether this rebound counts depends on whether it can hold 82,000 dollars: if it loses this line, the ETF outflow side will dominate.

#俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认 我一个技术盲，居然为0.05秒激动了一中午
大盘这两天没啥精神，我倒是挺来劲。
10月9日，Solana 那个叫 SIMD-0525 的升级落地了，出块的目标时间从250毫秒压到200毫秒，每秒能出5个块，比之前多了一倍。连验证周期都从两天缩到一天。有人实测，平均222毫秒，还没跑满，但已经很近了。
0.05秒啥概念？我中午点外卖付个款，页面跳转都比这慢。对咱这种只会转账的人来说，意思就是点完确认，转圈的时间又短了一截。
说实话技术参数我一条都看不懂。但我用 $SOL 的钱包两年了，最早转个账要盯着屏幕等，现在基本是秒到。就像家门口那条路，年年在修，一年比一年宽。
继续拿着。升级越多，我越不想动。Last time I said, middle-aged people don’t give up; they stand up from the ruins and took back the long position.
So what’s the result now?
$MAGIC long position entered at 0.1079, held all the way to 0.1218, steadily securing a 38% profit.
Liquidation isn’t scary; what’s scary is not having the courage to re-enter the market.
Many people ask me, it’s risen so much already, shouldn’t you sell?
I tell you, not only am I not selling, my core direction remains; long!
Why?
First, look at the trend.
From the big bearish candle at 0.14688 crashing down, it looks scary, but if you look closely, it only dropped to 0.11588 at the lowest, not even breaking the previous rising platform.
EMA5, EMA10, and EMA20 are all overhead, but the price has stabilized around 0.12, which is typical sideways consolidation after a sharp drop, not a crash.
It’s risen so much, doubled in 7 days, nearly tripled in 30 days; it’s normal for profit-taking to shake out some positions, and after that, it still has to go up.
Look at the contract long-short ratio data: the proportion of long accounts dropped to 43.04%, shorts rose to 56.96%, long-short ratio 0.76.
What does this mean? It means after this sharp drop, retail traders’ mindset has shifted; they all rushed to short!
Brothers, this is the most interesting human psychology.
When the market just starts rising, retail traders don’t dare to chase; after a big pullback, seeing a screen full of green candles, they start panic shorting.
But would the market manipulators be so kind? Absolutely not!
With retail all shorting, manipulators will most likely reverse with a rally, first liquidating a batch of shorts, then pushing higher.
So my strategy is simple: don’t chase shorts, don’t cut losses.
I keep holding the long position at 0.1079; as long as it doesn’t break my defense level, I will hold on to the end.
The more retail shorts, the more determined I am.
These short-sellers are the best fuel for the next rally.
Trading is a battle against human nature.
I failed in entrepreneurship and went into debt by millions, but what I gained is this market sentiment insight.
Now the long position profits are still running; I will keep holding, waiting for it to break 0.14 and make new highs.

#俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认 【2026/10/12 East 8 Zone 15:51】Hello, Bitcoin! The whole world is making way for you and cheering for me! Here, I loudly proclaim that this week will continue to rise, the answer is revealed in advance, why not take a look?
1. Since my post on the 6th of this month until now, I have shifted from bearish at 86500 to bullish at 81500, and currently there are significant results. The overall trend can be described as masterful. Don't believe it? Then you can check the history; now, what you care about most is the future trend, please see below and listen to me;
2. There are two important variables this week: Monday 23:30, the old US Treasury auction. My view is a weak auction, US Treasury yields rise, meaning the US stock market will correct downward in the short term, and risk assets like Bitcoin will fall or move sideways as a technical correction; Wednesday 20:30, US Core CPI, the biggest variable for US Treasuries. My view is Treasury yields will fall, funds will flow into gold and interest-free assets like cryptocurrencies, and Bitcoin will rise; conclusion: continue to go long near the 83500 level at the 2H cycle top-bottom conversion position today;
3. From a technical pattern perspective, it has been running above the weekly MA60 for three consecutive weeks, bulls are solid; last week's pullback completed the daily top-bottom conversion, laying a foundation for a healthy market.
Last week, whether long or short, we were all in a celebration; returning to this week, I firmly believe that we who look forward from the threshold will toast at the finish line of victory!!!

Bloomberg interviewed multiple company CFOs and found that U.S. companies are beginning to tighten AI expense management. Some companies set Token quotas for employees, track individual spending in real time, and prioritize using cheaper models for simple tasks.
Match Group, Tinder's parent company, allocated a $5 million AI budget at the beginning of the year, which doubled to $10 million by May. The company records each employee's spending in real time. To exceed the quota, one must first prove the value of the usage. Sysdig, a cybersecurity company, has its CFO check Token consumption daily.
Bloomberg statistics show that the term "Token" was mentioned 157 times in the latest quarter's S&P 500 earnings calls, nearly four times the amount from a year ago. An Ernst & Young survey shows that 82% of AI-investing executives worry about related costs, but only 64% say their companies monitor usage and set clear budgets. Ernst & Young also estimates that including subscriptions, infrastructure, and management fees, the total cost for enterprises deploying AI agents is about three times the Token bill.
However, cost pressures have not led companies to collectively reduce AI investment. In the Ernst & Young survey, 37% of relevant executives said their companies are considering expanding AI deployment, while only 15% are considering scaling back. Companies are strengthening cost control while continuing to increase AI investment…DOGE is around 0.0876, I just added a 2000 U position this morning, bought at 0.0872.

To be honest, the moment I saw the unlock news, I trembled a bit. Hyperliquid Labs released the pledge on 3.75 million team tokens, worth about $340 million at market price. In other projects, this kind of event basically signals a dump.
That night, I tossed and turned, got up to make a bowl of noodles, and dug into the $HYPE follow-up: about $331 million of it was transferred directly off-market to institutional buyers, handed over in bulk, not dumped onto the market.
In plain terms, they handled it decently, trying not to let retail investors catch the bag. Of course, there's fear—no one's money comes from the wind. But the way they handled it shows the team cares about the market. Two days have passed, and I haven't sold a single token. Diamond hands don't mean no fear; it means being afraid but still holding on.Box breakout, understand four types of trends in one chart Uptrend continuation: rise followed by consolidation, then breakout upwards to continue rising
Downtrend continuation: fall followed by consolidation, then breakout downwards to continue falling
Top reversal: rise followed by consolidation, then breakout downwards indicating a peak
Bottom reversal: fall followed by consolidation, then breakout upwards indicating a bottom
The core is one sentence: watch the breakout direction, but pay more attention to the trend before the breakout Strategic positioning to seize the Southeast Asia BTCfi narrative high ground
Here is the big picture to understand:
The North American market is highly competitive, with ETH, BTC L2, and various BTCfi public chains all battling, leaving less and less room for growth.
Southeast Asia, however, is the next wave of Web3 growth markets, with a huge user base, abundant miner resources, and a very high acceptance of the BTC narrative.
CORE has chosen Bangkok, Thailand as its Southeast Asia hub, which has natural advantages:
✅ Thailand is the crossroads of ASEAN; centered in Bangkok, it can radiate to the entire Southeast Asia region: Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia
✅ Thailand's digital asset regulatory framework is relatively clear, the industry atmosphere is stable, making it the best bridgehead in Southeast Asia
✅ Southeast Asia has a large number of small and medium BTC miners, which perfectly matches CORE's core narrative: after the BTC halving, miners need a second source of income, which is CORE's most core story, spreading very efficiently in the Southeast Asian mining community.Watching the red and green intertwine, a piece of my heart has been hollowed out. While others celebrate the rise, I only feel deep exhaustion. Although today's long position made some profit, the pain in my heart hasn't lessened at all.

#CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验
#俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认
#台积电Q3营收创新高，10月15日财报还有哪些看点？ CPI and PPI are about to be released, $BTC surges to 84,000! How long can this rally last?
The most critical thing in the crypto space next is not how much it has risen, but whether the macro data can support this rally.
Focus on two key things next:
First, the US CPI and PPI data. If inflation is higher than expected, concerns about rate hikes may intensify, and a stronger dollar will put pressure on BTC and ETH; if inflation cools down, market worries about tightening policies will ease, giving the crypto space a chance to continue upward.
Second, the Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire. Current progress is still to be confirmed. If the energy conflict eases and oil prices fall, it could help reduce inflationary pressure, but this does not directly equate to the Fed shifting to easing.
My view: Do not blindly chase the rally in the short term, nor rush to short.
For BTC, focus on whether it can effectively break through around $84,350; for ETH, watch if it can hold above the previous high of $2,578. Only a breakthrough and hold can offer a chance to continue climbing; if it rallies then falls back, beware of short-term profit-taking selling pressure.
Before the macro data release, managing position size is more important than guessing the direction. Don’t let a rally cloud your judgment, and don’t fully commit your chips before the data lands.
#CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验
#俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认
$ETH Can Ethereum rally all the way before the interest rate hike meeting?
My answer is straightforward: it won't rally.
First, look at the volume. This rebound from 2406 to 2564 gained over 150 points, but the 4-hour trading volume is even smaller than during the decline; the buying power simply can't keep up.
The area from 2560 to 2600 above is a previous dense short-selling zone and also where the 30-day moving average is pressing down. Every time it approaches, it's an opportunity for bears to add positions.
Looking at the capital side, BitMine has already announced it will stop increasing ETH holdings, and the number of validators exiting the queue has surged from 166,000 to 851,000, with a large amount of staked ETH unlocking in the next two weeks.
Supply is increasing, demand is decreasing.
The Federal Reserve meeting minutes show most officials support continuing rate hikes, so liquidity will only tighten further.
Therefore, this rebound looks more like handing chips to the bears.
I still hold the short position I entered at 2671, with a floating profit of 400%.
If it dares to break 2600, I will add to my position. The short-term support below is 2497; if broken, it will be 2400.
Rally before the rate hike? I don't believe it.

#台积电Q3营收创新高，10月15日财报还有哪些看点？ This time it's really on a whim; I'm preparing to put out 200,000 U and seriously do a round of trading.
I've been in the circle for almost 7 years now. Looking back, the first few years were just small plays with a few hundred U, purely for fun. Back then, I didn't have much capital or a trading system; it was more about the thrill. When I made money, I felt awesome; when I lost, I just treated it as tuition.
In the past two years, as my income gradually increased, I've started to have a different understanding of investing. Allocating properly in US stocks, and I no longer want to just be a spectator in the crypto world. I plan to take advantage of this bull market to seriously study the market, learn trading, and see if I really have the ability.
Honestly, crypto is something I've been involved with for so many years. I've seen bull markets and encountered opportunities, but I never had enough principal or a stable high income to support taking risks. I've watched the market go through cycles, with people making big money one after another, but I never truly seized any decent opportunity.
Now that I have some funds in hand, I also have the confidence to try and fail. I originally planned to start with small positions to get familiar with the market, gradually build my own trading system, and once I understand the market's temperament, consider increasing my position size.
Human nature is really easy to talk about.
Last night, even though I had floating profits, I didn't take profits in time. I kept thinking it could go up a bit more, but the market fluctuated back and forth, and the profits slowly eroded until I ended up trapped.
Old traders know a bit of everything, but when it comes to their own turn, they still make every mistake they should. When funds start liquidating positions, retail investors are still figuring out how to bottom-fish.
SanDisk fell again pre-market; my short at 1887.5 is up 170%. But what’s really worth your attention are these three things:
First, institutions are exiting. Artemis Investment Management cut 73.4% in Q3, a liquidation sell-off. Renaissance Technologies was even more drastic, reducing by 99.4%. This isn’t portfolio rebalancing, it’s a retreat.
Second, major banks are changing their tune. Citi lowered its target price from 2500 to 2100, and Wells Fargo cut from 1620 to 1400. They were raising targets a month before earnings, then flipped immediately after, showing even Wall Street doesn’t understand this rally.
Third, insiders are selling. The Chief Legal Officer sold 600 shares at $1734 on October 1, cashing out $1.04 million. The CEO sold twice earlier, cashing out over $100 million in total.
My short at 1887.5 targets 1500 first, then 1400 if broken. Institutions are withdrawing, major banks are revising down, insiders are selling—how do you expect me to run?
Don’t be the last one holding the bag.

No new data on ETF funds yet, previous outflow pressure remains. Contract rates are close to zero, OI is declining, indicating the market is temporarily not significantly leveraging to chase gains.

If it breaks down, watch the $83,500 support.
Before the CPI release, market direction remains unclear, controlling position size is more important than blindly chasing orders.
#CPIPPIHikeWatch #RussiaUkraineTruceWatch #TSMCOct15Earnings Do you think TSMC can break records again with this earnings report?
According to the latest data, TSMC's Q3 revenue soared to 1.49 trillion New Taiwan Dollars, approximately 46.7 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 51% $TSM
Market forecasts net profit to reach 746.3 billion New Taiwan Dollars, which if realized, would mark six consecutive quarters of record-high profits. In this AI-driven market, it remains the steady water seller on the fishing platform.
Compared to the Q3 results, two variables attract more attention:
▶️ Gross margin and guidance
Last quarter's gross margin was 67.7%, with official estimates for Q3 between 65% and 67%. Against the backdrop of 3nm being snapped up by Nvidia and Apple, it remains to be seen if management will raise the full-year revenue growth forecast and increase capital expenditures.
▶️ The Texas factory drama
Elon Musk proposed the Terafab chip park plan, with TSMC possibly only leasing. The Arizona plant is still unresolved, so moving to Texas is not urgent; it seems more like a long-term layout for post-2030 or a geopolitical bargaining chip.
Compared to chip manufacturing, the real bottleneck is advanced packaging CoWoS; packaging and testing capacity can't keep up, so AI chips still can't be delivered on time.
Looking ahead:
▶️ Short-term caution for potential profit-taking
Even if data is strong, if gross margin guidance slows, the stock price may experience short-term volatility and pullback.
▶️ Long-term moat is very deep
Major players' self-developed chips still rely on TSMC's technology and yield in the short term; in the coming years, it remains the biggest beneficiary of AI dividends.
Do you think it will take Elon Musk's deal in Texas, or steadily focus on Arizona?
$TSM #台积电Q3营收创新高，10月15日财报还有哪些看点？ First, record the position of $ENA, then discuss the viewpoint: current price 0.2363, about 6.73% away from the 1-hour support at 0.2204, about 4.70% away from the resistance at 0.2474.
The direction of $ENA looks smooth, but the trading volume is casting doubt on this trend. 1-hour is slightly strong, 4-hour is slightly strong, RSI values are 47 and 71 respectively.
I only keep one confirmation for the upward trend — breaking through 0.2474; and only one condition to negate the upward trend — falling below 0.2204. Other fluctuations are considered noise for now.
If you must choose a verification point first, would you watch for resistance confirmation or support breakdown?
The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice. This is from Crypto Bull.Big Brother Maji's latest position:
$50.15 million bet on ETH, unrealized profit of $376,900!
Currently, Maji only has one long ETH position left; BTC and other positions are no longer in the holdings list.
Position: about 20,000 ETH
Leverage: 25x full margin
Position value: $50,147,700
Opening average price: $2,545.82
Unrealized profit: $376,900
Margin: $2,005,900
Reference liquidation price: $2,508.97
This position has returned to profit; the account gained $971,600 in the past 24 hours. Next, it depends on whether ETH can continue to rise to help him build a thicker safety cushion.
What worries me is that in the past 7 days, there was still a loss of $10,190,500, with a cumulative account loss of $34,655,200. This one day's recovery still leaves a long way to fill the previous gap.
The position page also shows that funding fees have accumulated to $1,353,800. The longer you hold a high-leverage position, besides enduring price volatility, you also bear holding costs, and these fees are terrifying.
Based on this position data, ETH is only about 2.3% away from the reference liquidation price, leaving very little room for a pullback; the liquidation price will also change with the account status.
If ETH continues to rise, his profits will amplify quickly. If there is a sharp drop, unrealized profits could shrink rapidly.
Looking at his position, after choosing the right direction, the position must also withstand volatility. There is still a way to go between earning unrealized profits and taking the money out.$BTC stabilized first after a week of decline
After a week of selling, $BTC stands above $82,900.
The hardest hit wasn’t $BTC, but the altcoins.
How this number is calculated:
82,900 is the bottoming point, not the breakeven point.
The portion that dropped in the previous week hasn’t been recovered yet.
Who is placing orders here:
The Fear and Greed Index is 57, indicating neutrality.
Neutral doesn’t mean people are buying, just that no one is rushing to sell.
Altcoins have absorbed most of the decline, indicating the money hasn’t left, it just moved back into $BTC.
Once the US inflation data is released, the money that moved back will decide where to go next.
Bottoming and reversal are two different things.
#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？
#CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #黄金ETF创纪录吸金，高利率仍压制金价 $BTC As I said before, as long as the $83,500 support holds, every pullback is a standard "top-to-bottom flip".
Just now, the dip to 83,670 was instantly swallowed by large buy orders, then it bounced back to touch $84,125.
In my logic, this kind of high-level rejection of deep dips is a buildup signal for a push to $84,500. Hold your spot positions tight and let the bears keep guessing the top!ASML, making money quietly
The Q3 earnings report will be released on October 14
#阿斯麦Q3财报10月14日公布，EUV订单成焦点
Usually not as popular as Nvidia, but in the AI chip industry chain, its ability to make money is really strong
Currently, Q3 revenue is expected to be between 11 billion and 12 billion euros, with a gross margin of 55% to 57%
This profit margin is already quite competitive in manufacturing
This earnings result should still be very good
AI chip demand is very strong, and big manufacturers like TSMC and Samsung want to expand advanced process capacity, which cannot bypass ASML's EUV lithography machines
Another thing to pay attention to is how many new orders there are; buying equipment is one thing, but whether customers are willing to continue investing to expand production is also very important
As long as EUV orders remain strong, ASML still has great prospects in this AI capital expenditure cycleDon't just focus on the K-line! OKX funding rates have already diverged, with $SOL longs getting more and more crowded, while $ETH is being suppressed by shorts!
Here's the OKX 30-day funding rate for you guys:
$SOL: +0.7666%
$ZEC: +0.3355%
$BTC: +0.1208%
$ETH: -0.1319%
The most interesting part of this data set is the completely different funding structures of $SOL and $ETH.
$SOL current rate +0.0085%, 30-day cumulative +0.7666%, longs keep paying, indicating a more concentrated bullish sentiment on the contract. But don't mistake a high funding rate for a bullish signal; the more crowded the position, the more you need to guard against a sudden reversal.
$ETH current rate -0.0015%, 7-day and 30-day rates are also consistently negative, showing that shorts are paying more prominently. If the price strengthens and shorts start to cover, the rebound could exceed expectations; however, a negative funding rate itself is not a buy signal.
$BTC and $ZEC funding rates are also positive but overall lower than $SOL.
My take: Watch out for $SOL longs getting crowded, and keep an eye on whether $ETH's price and funding rate diverge. Don't short just because the funding rate is high, and don't bottom-fish just because the funding rate is negative. What you really need to capture in trading is the misalignment between market expectations and price trends.It's been 19 days, and the number of people buying $BTC on Coinbase is still less than those selling.
This premium index basically shows whether buyers in the US are willing to pay a higher price.
A negative value means they are not only unwilling to pay more but are also pushing prices down.
-0.12%, the number isn't big, but it's been 19 consecutive days, which is quite noticeable.
My first reaction isn't that the price will drop, but that people over there simply haven't come back.
Occasionally, Asia can still hold the market up, but once the US stalls, the market loses a leg.
The most common mistake retail investors make is rushing in to buy the dip when they see a negative premium, thinking it's a discount.
Actually, it's not a discount; it's that no one is competing to buy.
I'm more inclined to wait and see, waiting for this number to turn positive first.
Otherwise, like me, an old retail investor, I'll just be out in the wind at the peak again.
#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC I can say this: over 95% of the crypto space is made up of air coins, trash coins, and pyramid scheme coins. Those big blue-chip coins like $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL aren't impressive because they're inherently superior; they just came out earlier, have more stable teams and foundations, and have indeed been tested through more than a decade of market ups and downs. Let me ask, what are the real applications in the crypto space? It's nothing but endless rhetoric and layers of nested packaged projects. Some projects have market caps in the billions, yet their actual daily revenue is less than $100. I can frankly say many projects are zombie projects. Meme coins have completely detached from the previous circle culture and community totems. The truly strong meme coins have deep roots formed by large communities and years of shared ideas. Today's meme coins are purely gambling tools, instruments for whales to harvest retail investors, and some even serve as money laundering channels. In the future, don't talk about meme coin culture or that culture anymore—it's just gambling.$ZEC Wake up, this is a rebound, not a reversal
Brothers, yesterday saw a broad rise, but volume didn't increase, funds didn't flow in, and resistance wasn't broken
This rally, frankly, is just short covering plus an emotional bounce. Shorts got squeezed, forced to buy back, so the price was pushed up — this isn't strong buying, it's shorts panicking. Once the shorts are cleared out, the fuel for the pump runs out, and there's no real buying support underneath.
Smart money data is even clearer: the shorts overall are underwater, with only about 20% still profitable. The worse the shorts are doing, the more this looks like a bull trap; the spike is just giving shorts a position to cover. The more it rallies, the more it looks like fishing, specifically targeting those chasing the rally.
The strategy is simple: short near 1330, target a drop back to 1200. Set stop loss above 1360, and keep position size light. Don't fear the pump; the higher it goes, the better the shorting opportunity. #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 $ETH has been slowly rising for 4 consecutive days and is finally about to recover the second large bearish candle. However, as the price approaches 2560, the pressure it faces is also increasing significantly. The short-term trend has already started to turn downward. It's uncertain if there will be a large buy order to support it soon! Everyone is now focused on the CPI data to be released in a couple of days. Aggressive funds began bottom-fishing a few days ago, while more cautious funds are still watching or even fleeing to safe havens. Therefore, the subsequent rise or fall will depend on the attitude of the big players. In the short term, there is pressure from a technical rebound correction; in the long term, there is support from fundamental undervaluation. The strategy of buying low and selling high in short-term swings and gradually bottom-fishing in the long term remains effective!Completely devastated
$RVN dropped 23% in just three days, with the price falling from $0.0022 to around $0.00169.
Checked recent news: On October 12, the Korean exchange officially stopped RVN trading, involving three trading pairs with KRW, BTC, and USDT.
Previously, Bg had delisted RVN/USDT on September 24, and bn also announced it would stop supporting RVN trading in the Brazil region.
Even earlier, Ravencoin faced chain reorganization risks due to a consensus mechanism vulnerability, causing some exchanges to temporarily suspend deposits and withdrawals.
Losing trading channels consecutively in a short time, combined with previous security incidents, naturally impacted market confidence.$LAB This car is already so heavy, the old boss has pocketed all the money, and still wants him to take it out to pull it.$OKB has been a bit different these past couple of days. It has slowly climbed back over the past three months, with a market cap of $2.65B.
The biggest news is from October 6: Circle, Ripple, SC Ventures, and QRT all invested simultaneously in OKX, valuing it at $25 billion. Note this is valuation, not market cap. OKX founder Star Xu stated, "I'm not short of money, what I want are allies."
Circle stablecoins, Ripple payments, SCV Singapore capital,
QRT hedge fund, the lineup looks quite impressive. In the same month, NYSE parent company ICE plans to partner with OKX to tokenize US stocks, with the first phase covering 63 NYSE-listed companies.
If tokenized US stocks succeed, it will be OKX's biggest alpha; if not, OKB is just a trading platform token.
As for me, I am a firm holder of OKB. Besides BTC and ETH, this is the most worthwhile mainstream platform token to hold. Even during major market downturns, it can chart its own independent course, just for that reason! Reviewing ETH these days, I first shorted around 2670, then reversed to go long around 2500, and now I'm preparing to take profits.
When I opened the short at 2670, it was mainly because after dropping from a high point, it hadn't managed to reverse the trend; each rebound peak was lower than the last. At that time, I felt that around 2670 was more like a pullback rather than a direct strong rebound, so I followed the downtrend and shorted.
Later, it dropped to a low of 2405. When it reached this point, I started to consider whether to keep holding the short: after a sharp drop, chasing further down didn't seem to have good odds. Then the price returned to around 2500, and I saw it pull back and the lows started to rise, so I closed the short and reversed to go long around 2500.
Now ETH is around 2570, and on the 4-hour chart, it has climbed back above MA5, MA10, and MA20, showing short-term strength compared to the past few days. But the hourly Bollinger upper band is around 2578, and the 24-hour high is roughly at the same level, so it has hit immediate resistance. I feel this position is unstable, so I exited first.
Looking ahead:
On Wednesday, the US September CPI will be released. I'll wait for the data to see how the market moves. Volatility might be relatively high before and after the data. No operation, no analysis, just relying on luck; I feel embarrassed even to share this record. While others are running, $STRK has strong selling pressure, low trading volume, insufficient support, and bearish signals pressing down hard above. I was just waiting for a rebound to open a short near 0.11165 without hesitation.
The premise of compounding is survival; the shortcut to getting rich quick often leads to zero.
Have a strategy before the market opens, discipline during trading, and reflection afterward.
Now at 0.10232, the return is +417.37%. This short position really feels great; the big profit was worth the wait. Close 80% of the position first, keep the remaining 20% at cost price for protection. Don’t let the profit turn uncomfortable if it falls back; if it continues to drop, let the profit run.
Now is not the time to rush; wait for the next opportunity. The market is not short of chances, but patience is lacking. For friends who haven’t gotten on board yet, listen to me: chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak.
$BNB $ETH Single Coin Transaction Linkage｜Last 15 Minutes
$ETH spot volume increase is more prominent, with contract end-stage buy ratio rising. Spot/contract transactions are 2.4/0.6 times the 15-minute average volume converted from the previous 1 hour; spot/contract prices are -0.28%/-0.26%. Active buying at contract end-stage is 42.2%.Afternoon Market Analysis:
After a round of pullback in the morning, buyers re-entered the market with strength, and Bitcoin rallied again.
From the 15-minute candlestick chart, we can see:
All short-term moving averages have turned upward, prices are steadily running above the three moving averages, capital is clearly flowing back, and bulls have regained short-term initiative. Trading volume remains active, and the pullback did not result in a deep sell-off, indicating strong support below.
Key Price Levels
$BTC Support: 83200-83500
Resistance: 84300-46000
$ETH Support: 2530
Resistance: 2580-2600
The morning's pullback washed out some weak holders, with ample support at low levels and capital unwilling to provide too many low-priced chips. Currently, the short-term trend is strong again, but near the heavy resistance zone above, so avoid blindly chasing highs.
Afternoon suggestion:
Buy Bitcoin on pullback to 83200-83500, target 84500
Ethereum follows the same trendThis rebound has ZEC leading the way
$ZEC I will raise my short-term rating a bit.
It rose about 9% in the past 24 hours this afternoon, with the price returning to around 1328, and a decline of about 2.1% over the past week. This recovery already carries weight.
But I still won’t say the correction is over yet.
After a rapid rise, what needs the most attention is how it performs when it stops: whether it can hold steady at a higher level or if it retreats as soon as the rise pauses.
At present, the repair strength can be acknowledged, no need to immediately bring out the previous highs.
If the subsequent pullback is limited and it continues to advance, then there is reason to judge the strong rebound as turning into sustained strength.
$SOL is also recovering, but the repair task is heavier.
It rose about 3.2% in the past 24 hours this afternoon, but still fell about 6.9% over the past week; this rise has not yet filled the previous drop.
My attitude is to first acknowledge the improvement, without raising expectations too much for now.
Next, the rise needs to be continuous, not just a daily intraday spike followed by giving back the gains.
$JUP needs attention for the pullback during its strength.
This afternoon it updated near 0.363, up about 4.2% over the past week, but compared to around 0.381 last night, the price has already retreated about 4.8%.
The phase direction hasn’t worsened yet, but the short-term evaluation from last night can’t be applied.
I will watch to see if it can stop this pullback. The gains so far are an advantage, but whether it can hold depends on new performance.$BTC stabilized first after a week of decline
After a week of selling, $BTC stands above $82,900.
The hardest hit wasn’t $BTC, but the altcoins.
How this number is calculated:
82,900 is the bottoming point, not the breakeven point.
The portion that dropped in the previous week hasn’t been recovered yet.
Who is placing orders here:
The Fear and Greed Index is 57, indicating neutrality.
Neutral doesn’t mean people are buying, just that no one is rushing to sell.
Altcoins have absorbed most of the decline, indicating the money hasn’t left, it just moved back into $BTC.
Once the US inflation data is released, the money that moved back will decide where to go next.
Bottoming and reversal are two different things.
#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？
#CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #黄金ETF创纪录吸金，高利率仍压制金价 $BTC Brothers, is it really the right time to add to my ETH position now? Waiting online, urgent! But honestly, I already have the answer in my heart—adding to the position is basically pulling the plug on myself!
Looking at the overall margin rate of 0.10% in my account, my palms are sweating cold.
$ETH ETH: full position 5X, entry price 2718.24, mark price 2610.28. Floating loss -88.16U, ROI has already dropped to $ETH -20.77%. This mess is basically a bottomless pit; when the market falls, it leads the charge down, and when the market rises, it just plays dead. BCH: full position 10X, floating profit +69.34U (+150.72%), base position 460U, still the strongest pillar on the field. $BCH BCH $SOL: full position 20X, floating profit +34.63U (+44.31%).
The 0.10% lifeline! As soon as the market dips by just 0.1%, the hard-earned profits from BCH and $SOL, along with my principal, will be instantly liquidated on the full position! Nothing left at all! Adding to the losing ETH position at this critical moment is not bottom fishing; it’s like lighting a bomb!
Moreover, ETH shows no signs of stabilizing now, purely catching flying knives. What do I use to add? Taking margin from BCH and SOL will only speed up liquidation, and adding more funds is just handing my head to the exchange.

#俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认
#台积电Q3营收创新高，10月15日财报还有哪些看点？ Do 99% of blockchain token projects eventually go to zero?
This question is hard to stamp with an exact "99%", but the mainstream conclusion in industry research is that "a very small number of tokens survive long-term, while the vast majority eventually go to zero or effectively to zero." The key is how you define "going to zero": price dropping close to zero, being completely abandoned by the market, team disbandment, or simply having no circulating market value.
1. Origin of the "99% go to zero" figure
Common basis comes from statistical studies on cryptocurrency survival rates:
- A 2018 study analyzed thousands of tokens and found about half "disappeared or lost vitality" within one year after listing.
- At bear market bottoms, the number of active coins under various statistics often remains only a small fraction of the bull market peak; many altcoins from 2017-2018 had no trading volume, no development, and prices approaching zero by 2019-2020.
- In the long term, a large portion of coins listed on CoinMarketCap have very low daily trading volume and market cap, regarded as "zombie coins."
So although "99%" is not a precise academic conclusion, the direction that "the proportion of coins surviving long-term with ecological value is extremely low" holds true.
2. Why most tokens eventually go to zero
1. No real demand: Most projects issue tokens just for fundraising, without actual users, use cases, or revenue sources.
2. Team runs away or stagnates: After fundraising, the development team fails to deliver, does not open source or maintain; after community interest fades, prices naturally collapse.
3. Liquidity dries up: Delisting from exchanges, market makers exit, trading volume drops to zero, and prices can be crushed by any sell order.
4. Homogeneous competition: Easily copied technical solutions quickly get cheaper alternatives, early projects lose their barriers.
5. Regulatory and compliance risks: Being classified as securities, delisted, or sued can be fatal.
6. Many "shady" projects: Copying code casually, buying hype, then exit after the pump; these make up a high proportion, naturally pushing the zeroing rate up.
3. "Going to zero" is not sudden but a process
Many coins don’t vanish overnight, but:
- Price drops over 90% from the peak;
- Trading volume continuously shrinks;
- Development stops, social media updates cease;
- Eventually delisted from major exchanges;
- Finally only historical records remain, no trading, market cap approaches zero.
4. Which types are more likely to survive long-term
- Projects with real technology, developer ecosystems, and long-term roadmaps (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum, usually considered infrastructure);
- Stablecoins and some Layer 2s with actual use cases and revenue models;
- Projects continuously supported by large institutions or mature teams with compliance capabilities;
- Leading projects with network effects, whose tokens have practical use even if prices don’t rise.
5. Conclusion
The "99% go to zero" statement essentially means: the vast majority of altcoins, especially new projects born in bull markets, will die in bear markets over the long term. Buying such assets requires mental and financial preparation for principal loss.
However, "eventually going to zero" is not an inevitable law but a statistical probability. The real question is: can you identify the 1%? If you lack fundamental analysis skills and are driven by influencer hype, on-chain buzz, or "listing on major exchanges" noise, your probability of ending up in the 99% is even higher. 💳 Stablecoin payment cards are being "swiped" more and more powerfully!
In Q3, the total transaction volume through stablecoin cards reached 4.31 billion USD, up 33% from 3.24 billion USD in Q2.
Notably, $TRX led with 23.2% of the total volume in the quarter. Based on 4.31 billion USD, that's approximately 1 billion USD transacted via stablecoin cards, a market share large enough to show that blockchain infrastructure is gradually connecting with real spending needs. $ZEC Don't get carried away! This move in ZEC looks more like a bull trap, not a real reversal!
Brothers, are you watching ZEC surge up suddenly and the group chat starting to shout that old coins are reviving and the big bull market is back? Don't rush to fully trust it yet, let's peel back the layers and talk it through.
The price did jump all the way to 1349.30, looking very strong. But be careful! This move is largely driven by short positions being forced to liquidate — smart money data shows many shorts are now at floating losses, with only about 20% of positions profitable.
A rally fueled by forced liquidations can be fierce, but the actual new buying volume is insufficient, and the trading volume hasn't continued to expand. Simply put, this height is built on the shorts' blood, not genuine buying power pushing a main upward wave.
A rebound does not equal a reversal. Don't shout bull market just because of a few big green candles. A true reversal requires sustained volume increase plus holding above strong resistance levels to confirm, and neither condition is met now.
Dan's view: focus on the area around 1330, with the first target at 1250, and further down at 1200. #俄乌或达成“能源停火”协议，进展待确认 Originally wanted to cut losses as a sacrifice, but the sacrifice didn't happen, and the meat cooked itself. When the bottom of the plate was grinding, $ENA was consolidating at the bottom, and buying pressure strengthened. I advised at the time to hold if the pullback didn't break the support, and not to get shaken off before the launch. This kind of position is the most dangerous for itchy hands to cut recklessly.
Being out of position is not a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake.
Later, I gave the answer directly: long at 0.22247, pulled up to 0.23628, with a floating profit of +309.92%. This piece of meat was enjoyed comfortably. First take profit on 70%, keep the remaining 30% at cost price protection, let the profit run if it continues to rise, and don't let the profit become uncomfortable if it falls back.
Hold as long as the trend is intact, run when it breaks, don't fall in love with stocks. The market is waited out, profits are held out.
Now is not the time to rush, wait for the next shot. There are still opportunities, don't be anxious, I will notify you immediately.
$ZEC $SOL Still watching the market at 3 a.m., with over 1000 U in unrealized profits but too afraid to sleep—is this normal? Have you noticed that what really causes insomnia is never the losses, but the moment when unrealized profits start to retract? $NEAR with 10x leverage, 181% returns, unrealized profits of 979 U; $ETH with 20x leverage, unrealized profits of 287 U; $BTC steadily contributing 96 U, price hovering around 83,638. The numbers look great, but from a derivatives perspective, these positions themselves are part of the market's fragile points. High-leverage longs stacked in the same direction mean that once liquidation triggers, the decline will be automatically amplified. If the funding rate remains persistently positive, it indicates longs are paying to hold positions, sentiment is hot but not extreme yet, and this state is most prone to quick squeezes after false breakouts. The bullish logic is that profit-protecting behavior precedes price reaction. As more traders choose to take profits, selling pressure is released early, which actually creates room for subsequent rallies. $BTC's sideways movement near 83,638 is not weakness but more like waiting for CPI data to provide direction. $ETH's 2533 level is a key battleground; holding above it would revive altcoin sentiment and risk appetite would spill over beyond mainstream coins. But the risks are clear: a 20x leveraged $ETH position can be nearly halved with a 5% adverse price move. If CPI exceeds expectations, rising real interest rates will suppress risk assets, and the derivatives market's first reaction is always deleveraging, not a slow decline. Behind $NEAR's 181% returns lies an equally rapid potential drawdown. My own judgment is, currently Can Ethereum rally all the way before the interest rate hike meeting?
My answer is straightforward: it won't rally.
First, look at the volume. This rebound from 2406 to 2564 gained over 150 points, but the 4-hour trading volume is even smaller than during the decline; the buying power simply can't keep up.
The area from 2560 to 2600 above is a previous dense liquidation zone and also where the 30-day moving average is pressing down. Every time it approaches, it's an opportunity for bears to add positions.
Looking at the capital side, BitMine has already announced it will stop increasing ETH holdings, and the number of validators exiting the queue has surged from 166,000 to 851,000. A large amount of staked ETH will unlock in the next two weeks.
Supply is increasing, demand is decreasing.
The Federal Reserve meeting minutes show most officials support continuing rate hikes, so liquidity will only tighten further.
Therefore, this rebound looks more like handing chips to the bears.
I still hold the short position I entered at 2671, with a floating profit of 400%.
If it dares to break 2600, I will add to my position. The short-term support below is 2497; if broken, it will drop to 2400.
Rally before the rate hike? I don't believe it.
$BTC $ETH $MAGIC
#TSMC Q3 revenue hits a new high, what other highlights are there in the October 15 earnings report? Market trends often emerge when market disagreements are at their peak.
Looking at $ETH's four-hour structure. After a surge testing the upper resistance zone, some profit-taking occurred, but during the pullback, there was no significant volume increase in bearish candles, indicating limited selling pressure and clear support below. The lows are gradually rising, the Bollinger Bands are slowly opening upwards, and the middle band support continues to follow the candlesticks. This pullback looks more like a consolidation of chips during an uptrend rather than a trend reversal. The mid-term bullish structure remains intact.
As mentioned in the previous article, during Ethereum's advance from 2500 to 4000, each rally cycle has been compressing: initially taking four weeks, then narrowing to about two weeks, with the pace clearly accelerating. Once the bulls confirm a start, this round will likely replicate or even accelerate this path. Currently, it has just broken out of the bottom consolidation range, and bearish sentiment still exists; most people's perception remains stuck in the inertia of the sideways phase.
The difference in trading cognition often shows whether you can stick to your judgment at the end of a consolidation. As long as no sudden major macro negative news occurs, the combination of sentiment recovery, capital inflow, and short covering can form a force, and a large bullish candle could break the current rhythm at any time.
The stance remains unchanged: currently maintaining a bullish view, patiently holding positions awaiting catalysts. $BTC 🚀 $RSR — BULLISH BREAKOUT WATCH
RSR is showing bullish momentum following a reported 48% rally, with 0.002589 acting as a key resistance level. If buying pressure continues and the breakout is confirmed, the price could extend toward 0.00270.

Entry: 0.00234–0.00238
Stop Loss: 0.00218
TP1: 0.00245
TP2: 0.00258
TP3: 0.00270
👀 Key Watch: A confirmed break above resistance could support further upside, but watch volume and price action before expecting continuation.
#DailyOrbit ETH surged to 2578 but softened again! A whale cashed out $21 million at a high position, can't get past the 2570 hurdle?
ETH just surged to 2578.44, seemingly about to break through, but was slapped back by bears to 2567.95 (+1.32%). The 5-minute MACD fast and slow lines are converging above the zero axis, the red bars are shrinking, and the bullish momentum is clearly weakening.
On-chain data reveals the painful truth:
According to Lookonchain monitoring, whale 0xb927 sold another 5000 ETH ($21 million) two hours ago during the ETH rebound. In the past 40 days, this whale has cumulatively sold 15,000 ETH, cashing out $65.5 million. Meanwhile, two wallets associated with the Ethereum Foundation also transferred 4393 ETH (about $11.13 million) to Kraken, raising market concerns that the foundation is also selling at highs.
Ethereum spot ETFs had a total net inflow of $26.3199 million yesterday, marking five consecutive days of net inflows. Fidelity's FETH led with a single-day inflow of $14.928 million, followed by BlackRock's ETHA with $8.4943 million inflow. Although there was still a net outflow of $542 million last week overall, short-term funds are flowing back.
Resistance above: 2578 → 2601 → 2630; support below: 2520 → 2468. 2578 is today's high point; a breakout with volume is needed to target 2600; breaking below 2520 could lead to another dip toward 2500. Today ETH is rising more sharply than BTC, and I'm more interested in looking at the contract positions behind it.
Binance perpetual data shows ETH around $2567, up 2.68% in 24 hours; BTC around $84013, up only 1.17%. Both are rebounding, but ETH's elasticity is much greater.
But there's another detail: ETH's open interest increased from about 2.328 million to 2.348 million contracts, with the latest funding rate still around -0.00324%; BTC's open interest rose from about 92,900 to 93,500 contracts, and its funding rate is slightly positive.
Price is up, positions are increasing, yet ETH's funding rate remains in negative territory. This indicates that this round of recovery is not just a simple "full bullish reversal" story; divergences remain in the contract market.
I will focus on whether ETH can truly hold above around 2580. If the price continues to rise afterward, and both trading volume and position structure cooperate, this recovery will be more convincing.
Data is a snapshot at the time of release, for market observation only.Don't just focus on the K-line! OKX funding rates have already diverged, with $SOL longs getting more and more crowded, while $ETH is being suppressed by shorts!
Here's the OKX 30-day funding rate for you guys:
$SOL: +0.7666%
$ZEC: +0.3355%
$BTC: +0.1208%
$ETH: -0.1319%
The most interesting part of this data set is the completely different funding structures of $SOL and $ETH.
$SOL current rate +0.0085%, 30-day cumulative +0.7666%, longs keep paying, indicating a more concentrated bullish sentiment on the contract. But don't mistake a high funding rate for a bullish signal; the more crowded the position, the more you need to guard against a sudden reversal.
$ETH current rate -0.0015%, 7-day and 30-day rates are also consistently negative, showing that shorts are paying more prominently. If the price strengthens and shorts start to cover, the rebound could exceed expectations; however, a negative funding rate itself is not a buy signal.
$BTC and $ZEC funding rates are also positive but overall lower than $SOL.
My take: Watch out for $SOL longs getting crowded, and keep an eye on whether $ETH's price and funding rate diverge. Don't short just because the funding rate is high, and don't bottom-fish just because the funding rate is negative. What you really need to capture in trading is the misalignment between market expectations and price trends.
