Today is the 51st day I have been shorting ZEC, with 39 days left until the three-month target. Unexpectedly, it could recover in a V-shape, making me somewhat want to increase my short position!!! The current price of ZEC is 1333, up 4.47% in 24 hours, after rising to 1348 then slightly dropping. The 15-minute EMA is aligned with an uptrend, price stable above the average line; RSI6 is at 67.71, near the overbought threshold, with upward momentum slowing down; MACD still shows a red bar, DIFF continuously above DEA, and the three KDJ lines remain at a high position. Expecting an upgrade chHYPE is on hold: latest price 87.85, close to the 88.11 resistance, but this rise still lacks confirmation from increased volume.
Both highs and lows are rising synchronously, local upward movement has a basis, so it’s not time to be bearish directly. The previous full 4-hour period volume ratio was 0.74, with volume below average, not enough to support a price breakout of the current resistance.
Only if it continuously holds above 88.11 and the subsequent full 4-hour period shows increased volume can a bullish view be supported; intraday touches do not count as breakouts.
If it continuously breaks below 87.03, the local upward judgment fails, so maintain a wait-and-see stance; only if after breaking below, a rebound fails to reclaim 87.03 can a bearish view be supported. $HYPE Nvidia and Anthropic failed to acquire, Amazon negotiating $7 billion to buy Decart
The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources, reported that Amazon is negotiating to acquire AI startup Decart. The potential deal is valued at about $7 billion and has not yet been finalized. Decart focuses on AI chip optimization software, enabling models to run faster and more cost-effectively on different chips. Its technology covers Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs, and Amazon Trainium.
Founded in 2023, the company has seen acquisition rumors reverse several times. In August, Israeli media Calcalist revealed that Nvidia was close to acquiring Decart. Subsequently, other buyers intervened, and negotiations were halted. SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, was also speculated to be a potential buyer, but no reliable reports confirmed a formal offer.
Later, Anthropic considered acquiring Decart for about $6 billion and conducted due diligence. However, by September, Anthropic decided to withdraw for undisclosed reasons. Now Amazon has taken over negotiations, with a potential deal price higher than Decart's approximately $4 billion valuation from a May funding round.
Amazon and Decart have had prior cooperation. In May, Decart announced Amazon as a strategic customer. The two have already run the real-time video model Lucy 2 on Amazon's self-developed Trainium..."BTC in the Last Hour: The 84,200 Wall Hasn't Fallen, but 41.47 Million Short Positions Have Already Been Placed on the Trigger"
In the last hour, BTC has been narrowly oscillating between 83,900 and 84,268, just touching 84,276 before being pushed back near 84,100.
What happened? From early morning to late morning, BTC repeatedly tested the 83,500-84,200 range. A 140 BTC short position with 40x leverage was liquidated between 84,156-84,181, resulting in a loss of $239,000. Currently, there are still 41.47 million short positions and 13.14 million long positions approaching the liquidation line simultaneously, with pressure on both sides.
Why is this worth noting? The bears haven't fled. On October 7, a new wallet opened a 40x leveraged short position of 148.49 BTC on Hyperliquid, with a notional value of about $12.5 million. Whether this position is still open remains uncertain.
Which observation is supported? It looks more like a "tug-of-war within the liquidation zone" rather than a one-sided trend. Bears are holding above 84,000, bulls are waiting below 83,500, and neither side wants to make the first move.
What to watch? Whether 84,200 can be effectively broken. The bears have already set the trigger; it just needs that spark to ignite. $BTC The second day of barely surviving, yesterday it dipped to 0.0952, today it dipped to 0.0958, no buying pressure above, it drops right after the dip, 0.091 support is too strong, it just won't fall! Even short positions can't hold, if it keeps grinding like this, I'm going to go tighten some screws.On the eve of CPI, a whale is betting with a 13x short position! Wednesday will be a turning point
The real bombshell this week is the CPI data at 8:30 PM on Wednesday, don’t trade blindly!
ETFs have been continuously flowing out, institutions are withdrawing. The most outrageous thing is a whale opened a $32 million short position on Hyperliquid with 13x leverage, clearly betting on a data surprise. But yesterday the short position exploded to $78 million, and bulls are also squeezing.
BTC is currently priced at 84,000, with strong resistance at 85,000 above. Altcoins are flying wildly, NEAR and MAGIC are jumping up and down.
My attitude is simple: absolutely no heavy positions before CPI, regardless of long or short! Wait for the data to land and see the direction before making a move. Control your hands, protect your principal, don’t gamble your life at the exact second the data is released.
Do you think Wednesday’s CPI is bearish or bullish?
#BTC #ETH #CPI #FederalReserve TSMC's revenue has already exceeded expectations, so what is the Thursday earnings call really about?
TSMC's Q3 revenue was actually announced a while ago, about $46.7 billion, higher than the company's own forecast of $44.6 to $45.8 billion. The Thursday earnings call isn't about revenue, but about the costs behind that revenue.
The first hurdle is gross margin. The Q3 guidance is 65% to 67%, with a midpoint of 66%, which is 1.7 percentage points lower than Q2's 67.7%, due to the 2nm ramp diluting about 3 to 4 percentage points. Market consensus is around 66.5%, so holding near the upper end of the range would be good news.
The second hurdle is capital expenditure. In July, it was already raised from $52 to $56 billion up to $60 to $64 billion, so $64 billion is not a number waiting to be revised upward, but the current ceiling. Management previously said capital expenditure would be "significantly higher" over the next three years; this time, we need to see how much they say.
Regarding stock price, the ADR closed at $485.80 on 10/6, with this year's high at $487.47; the latest available close is $472.20 on 10/8.
If the price rises above $487 after the call, it means the market accepts the 2nm dilution and higher capital expenditure; if it falls below $472, it means gross margin or capital expenditure is below expectations.
Revenue has already exceeded expectations. Do you think this time the stock price will focus more on maintaining a 66% gross margin or on further upward revisions of capital expenditure?
$TSM $ASML $NVDA 🚨 $BTC + $ETH + $SOL + $ZEC: The liquidation map is laid out, but the real risks are buried in the data
The biggest variable this week isn’t technicals, it’s the imminent release of CPI and PPI. US CPI has already rebounded from 2.4% to 3.8%, and PPI is even more severe, jumping from 2.9% to 6.0%. Inflation is not dead; it’s accelerating. This means expectations for rate cuts will be repeatedly torn apart, and around each data release, the crypto market may experience phased pullbacks.
Don’t heavily bet on direction at this point. Below is a breakdown of the liquidation structure for the four coins; wait for the data to land before making moves.
🟠 $BTC | Current price 83,889
Above, 84,705 is a short concentration zone with about $29.23 million in short positions hanging there. Once broken through and buying follows, short covering will create a brief push, opening up upward extension space.
Below, 82,188 is a pain point for longs, with about $40.31 million in long liquidations. The scale below is larger than above, meaning if it really breaks down, the long liquidation chain reaction will be more intense than short squeezes. But “larger scale below” doesn’t mean “it will definitely drop first”—the market often uses fake breakouts to clear one side before reversing to harvest the other.
The $BTC futures market just went through a round of short squeezes; open interest has fallen from its peak, and the deleveraging structure is healthier than before. But in front of CPI/PPI, even a healthy structure can be pierced by one data point.
🔵 $ETH | Current price 2,544
Above 2,568, below 2,509. The liquidation scales on both sides are close, which is the most critical point.
$ETH’s liquidation heatmap often shows a "double wall squeeze" structure, with leverage densely stacked just above and below the current price, compressing price into a narrow liquidation corridor. This structure means: it sweeps shorts upward, then sweeps longs downward, hitting losses both ways—no one gets comfortable. ETH is the most prone to repeated spikes among the four coins, so don’t take sides prematurely in the middle.
🟣 $SOL | Current price 111.54
Above 113.37, about $5.22 million in short liquidations. Below 108.39, about $3.26 million in long liquidations.
$SOL has an independent narrative worth noting: the liquidation selling pressure from FTX/Alameda is nearing its end. As of mid-April, Alameda still holds about 3.5 million $SOL, worth roughly $300 million at current prices, and with a monthly release pace of about 197,000 tokens, the remaining chips will basically be cleared within next year. This means the “structural seller” weighing on $SOL over the past few years is disappearing.
But this is a medium-to-long-term logic and doesn’t affect short-term liquidation battles. If 108.39 breaks, longs will still be liquidated.
🟢 $ZEC | Current price 1,281
Above 1,306, about $760,000 in short positions. Below 1,239, about $920,000 in longs.
$ZEC’s liquidity pool is small and chips are concentrated, so leverage liquidations will have amplified price impact. The liquidation scale below is slightly larger; if 1,239 is breached, the probability of accelerated downside is high. But recent $ZEC price volatility is more driven by privacy narratives and capital rotation; on-chain data itself is stable—the proportion of shielded pools is at a historic high, and hash rate remains elevated. Price and fundamentals are at odds; follow the liquidation map in the short term and don’t hold positions based on narratives.
📊 Core judgments
$BTC has larger liquidation scale below, but that’s not a bearish signal. Before CPI/PPI data lands, the market will likely maintain a "narrow range oscillation + fake breakout to sweep losses" pattern. $ETH’s close liquidation levels on both sides make it most prone to repeated harvesting. $SOL’s mid-term logic is bullish, but short term must survive the data shock first. $ZEC’s thin liquidity means volatility will be amplified by leverage.
Before the data comes out, keep your hands off. Afterward, see if volume can hold key levels before deciding. Those who bet direction early often end up as marked numbers on the liquidation map.
#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？ $BTC is facing another week of major directional moves. Is it a siege against the bears, or a continued squeeze on the bulls?
Brothers, the CPI and PPI data are about to be released this week. Before that, data and macro geopolitical conflicts have been bearish, but the market reaction hasn't followed that narrative.
ETH spot has seen net outflows for 9 consecutive days, with BlackRock pulling out $470 million in a single week. Institutions are withdrawing and watching, yet retail investors are holding their positions.
Geopolitically, US-Iran negotiations have stalled again. Previously, there was talk of not taking action against Iran before the midterm elections, but behind the scenes, underhanded moves are happening—truly lacking in ethics. The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthi rebels is escalating further, and the US might also join this fight. It's one wave after another.
However, the current rally is likely a short-term recovery from last week's waterfall drop. Large funds and institutions are withdrawing and waiting for direction. Before the data releases on Wednesday and Thursday this week, entering the market is not recommended for heavy positions #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 $AVAX has risen about 46.9% in the past 30 days. It seems that capital is starting to be willing to revalue some L1 and RWA assets, but judging from the recent trend, Ajian believes this is not a risk-free straight upward trend. The price has already moved from the narrative initiation phase to a stage that requires data support. It can be said that Helicon's upgrade has already ignited the spark. What needs to be watched next is whether real users, on-chain fees, RWA asset scale, and developer activity can keep this fire burning stronger. I will continue to watch whether the area around $10 can turn from resistance into support. I'd rather miss out than catch the last leg at the hottest emotional point 🚀 ETH & SOL Lead the Crypto Rally!
₿ BTC consolidates near $84,071, while ETH breaks above $2,550 and SOL climbs to $112.82.
🔥 Key Levels to Watch:
- BTC: $83,500 support
- ETH: $2,580–$2,600 resistance
- SOL: $113.5–$115 resistance
📊 Hong Kong’s upcoming SOL ETF launch could boost momentum, but beware of “buy the rumor, sell the news” volatility.
What’s next for SOL — $115 or a pullback? 👇
#BTC #ETH #SOL #Crypto BTC rebound is not a reversal! ZEC open interest surges 11.1%, what are leveraged funds betting on?
BTC: Moving averages recovering, institutional funds still under pressure
BTC current price 84016, rebounded from $80,400, up 4.50% so far, retaking near MA5, MA10, and MA20. However, US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $707.9 million from October 7 to 9, turning to a net inflow of $21.1 million only on October 9. Single-day inflow does not indicate a full recovery of institutional buying; the 84,000–84,300 range remains a short-term observation zone.
ZEC: OI surges 11.1%, beware of crowded leverage
ZEC 24-hour gain about 9.26%, total network contract open interest about $1.7 billion, up 11.10%. Price rise accompanied by position expansion indicates increased leverage participation but does not directly confirm super whales going long. ZEC rebounded from $1,112.27 to $1,329.23, up about 19.50%; after a sharp rise, beware of profit-taking.
ETH, SOL: Key levels determine rebound strength
ETH rebounded from $2,406.36 to $2,565.28, watch $2,600 resistance; SOL rose from $105.71 to $112.42, watch $109.32 support and resistance near $113.40. #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 $ONDO
ONDO accelerates recovery, why can't product asset scale and token demand be combined?
Today's early spot 24-hour observation window: range 0.4803—0.5325 USDT, change +7.49%, trading volume about 10.56 million USDT.
A significant increase draws trading attention, but the product scale of asset tokenization, management income, and token holder rights belong to different layers. Expansion of product demand does not necessarily form a proportional token buy order; short-term rotation can also drive the price.
If the 0.5325 high attempt fails and the lows keep dropping, first be cautious of expectation-driven supply; if the rights mechanism can be verified and maintains higher lows during pullbacks, then increase the fundamental weight.$W is unlocking every day, continuing all the way until 2028. Are you sure you want to chase longs at this kind of level?
First, look at W's token data: only 52.96% has been unlocked so far, with 47.04% still locked, and it's being released linearly every day. This unlocking schedule stretches all the way to 2028! What's worse, on October 16, just 4 days from now, there's another unlocking event.
The sell pressure for this coin never runs out. Those unlocking today want to dump, those unlocking tomorrow also want to dump, and the batch unlocking in 4 days is just waiting to cash out. For holders of unlocked tokens, the best scenario is when the whales pump the price up—the higher it goes, the easier it is to sell. You can see this pump is perfectly timed just a few days before the unlocking.
Now look at the smart money: despite such a strong pump, short positions still make up three-quarters of the long positions, and nearly half of the tokens are still waiting to be released. Who would dare to heavily buy in at this point?
Pumps are temporary, but unlocking happens every day. Don’t wait until the batch unlocking on October 16 to think about shorting. Get your short positions in now!#ASML Q3 earnings to be announced on October 14, EUV orders are the focus 📰
🔥 The lithography giant is about to deliver results. The market is watching not the profits, but the EUV orders. This thing is the key to advanced process technology; more orders indicate that TSMC, Samsung, and Intel are still desperately expanding production. AI chip capacity is guaranteed, so the computing power narrative can still hold.
But for the crypto circle, it's at most an emotional boost. Bitcoin is still bottoming around 84,000, ETFs have continuous net outflows, and the 5.6% US Treasury yields are tightly locking down off-exchange funds. No matter how strong ASML is, it can't solve the liquidity drought in the crypto market.
In terms of operations, don't get carried away: don't bet on earnings reports, don't chase AI concept coins, hold your spot positions firmly, avoid contracts, keep your USDT. Wait for the macro clearing to create a real dip, then go bargain hunting. During this data week, I tend to first liquidate longs and then shorts after the data is released. Don't chase the first candlestick; wait for expectations to adjust before taking action.
BTC is currently stuck at 83,000, with a sell wall at 86,000. Four attempts to break through 87,000 have failed. The ETF saw a net outflow of over 700 million on October 7th and 8th, and only about 20 million inflow on the 9th, less than 3% of the outflow. Institutional long-term positioning remains, but those are slow variables and can't relieve the immediate selling pressure. If the data is hot, BTC will first break 80,000 and look toward 78,000; if the data is moderate, only then is there a chance to test 86,000. Hold your base positions firmly; don't chase short-term moves.
ETH remains the weakest, with continuous ETF outflows. Its staking yields can't compete with U.S. Treasuries, so institutions are not stepping in. When BTC weakens, ETH falls the hardest; when BTC stabilizes, ETH rises the slowest. Its role has shifted from an asset to a cash machine, so don't expect it to strengthen independently in the short term.
Gold $XAUT ETFs are attracting record inflows, with Q3 net inflows hitting a historic high. The buying is genuine. Energy price hikes suppress it in the short term, but as long as core inflation remains controlled, stagflation logic will drive funds back into hard assets. Once interest rates peak, gold will move faster than anyone else and is the only one among the three brothers with solid support.
My view is clear: don't act immediately after the data release. Watch whether it first spikes or crashes, and wait for the initial wave of emotion to subside before trading with the trend. Hold your base positions firmly in BTC and ETH spot, fully unload short-term leverage, and put gold at the top of your watchlist. #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 @OKX星球 Recently, SanDisk $SNDK's pullback almost crushed me.
From the recent market situation, SanDisk has been continuously falling back, now priced around 1560. In the short term, we shouldn't rush to be bullish. The previous gains were too large, and with Samsung's preliminary Q3 results falling short of expectations, the market has started to reassess the profit outlook for the entire storage sector. Profit-taking is also intensifying the volatility.
Is this the end of the logic for the storage industry? I don't think so. AI servers and data centers still require a large amount of storage devices. What we really need to be cautious about is the future increase in supply, intensified competition, and overly high market expectations for performance. Demand in the industry doesn't mean every stock will keep rising.
Right now, I will focus on observing the support around $1550. If it can hold here and break through $1600-$1620 with volume, there is a chance for a gradual short-term recovery; if $1550 is effectively broken, we need to guard against a further drop to $1500.
For someone like me holding at a high position, the worst thing is to blindly add positions because of being trapped. First, see if the support can hold, then see if the rebound is accompanied by volume. I think the storage sector still has opportunities, but SanDisk needs to prove in the short term that it can stop falling and stabilize. Don't add too heavily to your position. I'm already pretty much done for now. Do you think I still have hope? 🥹🥹🥹 #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 #PIMCO警告10年期美债收益率或达6% Oil prices fell about $1.5, but BTC showed no significant movement.
This is not contradictory: energy impacts crypto through inflation and interest rate expectations first.
OKX Planet market page shows BTC around $83,820, ETH around $2,549, almost flat for the day. AP reported that during the Asian trading session, oil prices fell about $1.50 per barrel, with the news background being Trump stating the US will purchase Russian diesel.
Conclusion: This is just a sentiment variable, not a direct buy signal. If oil prices do not continue to decline, inflation expectations may not ease; geopolitical news can also be volatile, chasing single headlines for trading can easily lead to whipsaws.
Will you include oil prices in your crypto trading watchlist? Last night NEAR missed the move, and I was really frustrated. Today it surged to 6.06 but just couldn't break through. I opened a short position at 5.82, with a stop loss at 6.10 and a target initially at 5.6. I'm not greedy with this trade, planning a quick in and out; if it breaks 6.1, I'll admit defeat.
Just opened it, basically no profit or loss yet. Honestly, this short is a bet on an overbought pullback. The 15-minute MACD has a death cross, RSI dropped from 77 to 65, clearly no strength for a short-term rise. The daily chart is still bullish, but the 4-hour chart is also weakening at a high level. After such a strong surge, it needs to catch its breath.
The lesson from that 100x short last night is still fresh, so today I only dared to open 5x leverage, with a strict stop loss at 6.10. If it breaks the new high of 6.06, I'll exit immediately, no holding the position stubbornly. Once the target of 5.6 is reached, I'll reduce the position and then watch for 5.2.
I'm not sure if it will come down this time, but at least the stop loss is clearly set, unlike last night when I held recklessly. Let's see how it goes; the stop loss is in place, so whatever happens, happens.
Do you have NEAR in your hands? Are you going long or short like me?

This Wednesday will decide whether to raise interest rates in October.
At 8:30 PM Beijing time on October 14, the US September CPI and core CPI will be released. At the same time on the 15th, PPI, retail sales, and initial jobless claims will be published together. These data sets combined are the most important reference before the Federal Reserve meeting on October 28.
The current pricing is very delicate. As of October 10, the market's bet on a 25 basis point rate hike in October is only 18%, favoring action in December instead. A week ago, this number was still 70%, dropping very quickly. But note, a drop in probability does not mean the Fed has turned dovish. The September minutes show most officials believe another hike may be needed this year, just differing on timing. The market pushing the rate hike timing from October to December is not canceling the hike, just delaying it.
So next week's data is critical. Rising energy prices may push overall inflation higher; core CPI truly tests whether price pressures are spreading. If core CPI is moderate, the market will strengthen pause expectations, the dollar and US Treasury yields will fall, and BTC has a chance to rebound and test 84500 or even 85000. If core CPI is strong, or retail and employment data are too robust, the probability of a rate hike in October will rise again, BTC will face direct pressure around 83000, with short-term support between 81500 and 82000; breaking that looks toward 80000.
For BTC, now is the time to wait for the data. $BTC $ZEC ZEC is just rebounding, not reversing; now is a good opportunity to short.
It was rising all day yesterday, do you think a bull market is coming?
Bearish view: rebound is not a reversal
Don't be scared off by this rally. The broad rise yesterday doesn't mean a bull market; it's just short covering and a sentiment rebound. No volume increase, no capital inflow, no break of resistance—what bull market? The more it rises, the more it looks like a bull trap; the high points are shorting opportunities. This is not a reversal, it's giving shorts a position. Bull market? Wait for volume to increase and key levels to hold before talking. For now, I don't believe it.
Plus, smart money data shows shorts overall are in floating losses, with only about 20% profitable. The price that can reliably trigger short liquidations has no real buy support underneath. Now that shorts are being cleared, the fuel for the rally is completely burned out.

In the same account, the $BTC short position is profitable, while $ETH and $HYPE are losing.
What is this number: $HYPE unrealized loss of 4.86 million, the largest among the three positions. Entry price 63.9, liquidation price 106.59.
It uses 5x full-position short leverage. If the price rises more than 20%, this position will be wiped out.
How is this number calculated: 40x short $BTC, entry at 84070, liquidation at 105740. There is a gap of over 21,000 USD in between.
The higher the leverage, the shorter the distance it can withstand; this is the same principle.
The three positions share one margin. Every cent $HYPE loses eats into the buffer of the other two positions.
The profits from $BTC are being gradually drained by $HYPE.
Once $HYPE's unrealized loss catches up with $BTC's unrealized gain, this account will have only one path left.
#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 $ETH #GRASS has rallied from a low point, but there is still significant disagreement about the sustainability of the rebound
US Treasury yields remain at a high level, and GRASS has shown a short-term upward movement. This does not necessarily indicate cross-market capital rotation; it only reflects risk assets moving in the same direction. The correlation does not mean funds are withdrawing from the bond market to enter crypto; it only shows that risk appetite is rising simultaneously.
OKEx spot GRASS/USDT latest transaction price is 0.8035 USDT, with a 24-hour range between 0.6718 USDT and 0.8904 USDT, showing significant short-term volatility. Whether this rally can hold depends on whether it can maintain the lower boundary of the current range. If it falls back below the low point, it is more likely a short-term impulse.
This correlation will change when US Treasury yields reverse. Where have you set your current order, and at what price will you place your stop loss?
$GRASS $BTC $ETH 84178 was pierced!! Don't chase longs yet, be careful of a dump after the sweep
Just broke above the 4-hour box top at 84178, current price around 84150, volume in 5 minutes surged to 7 times the usual, but only rose 0.1%. High volume with little price movement is a typical bull trap signal! The 4-hour moving averages are still in a bearish alignment. The range from 84749 to 85240 is a liquidation vacuum zone, likely to first spike down to sweep out short stop losses before reversing. My view: if the 4-hour candle can't hold above 84100, there's a high chance of a retest at 83530, then further down to 83200; to really turn bullish, it needs to hold above 85240 and close above it on the daily chart. Don't chase here!! Inflation data on Wednesday will set the direction. $BTC Brothers, this isn't how you hold a position, right?
Although I think $NEAR and $STRK are being hyped up by the post-quantum narrative without technical or product validation, and I don't recommend chasing the highs, I definitely don't suggest shorting against the wind.
Right now is the peak of the hype; $NEAR's RSI is 74.6 and heating up, the technicals keep hitting new highs, and even the leveraged positions have maxed out with $159 million in open interest. Shorting against the trend is basically like dancing on a tightrope.
Don't underestimate the power of web3 hype—every short squeeze teaches impatient brothers a lesson. If it weren't for everyone's crazy enthusiasm, which even made me start doubting my own judgment, I wouldn't have dreamed the other day about missing out and breaking my leg 😂
That's why I said after careful consideration the other day, I won't buy into a narrative I don't understand and have decided to stay away from it. $CAP Why current short positions are very dangerous

• 80% short (retail): fear of heights, topping out, many people but little money.
• 20% long (market makers): few people, but huge capital volume.
• Positive funding rate: total long capital > short, longs pay.
Market situation: retail shorts are the fuel, the main force pulls up causing a short squeeze. Brothers, I’ve directly reached enlightenment in the trading arena!
To go long, you have to learn how to pick coins, and even more importantly, how to compare them.
Before, I was foolishly stubborn, only going long on eth.
But now looking at it,
$BTC is way stronger than $ETH.
My logic: BTC has already risen above the weekly 5MA,
while ETH is still suppressed by the 5MA.
What does strong mean?
Losing less is what counts as strong! Losing more means chips are scattered, naturally weak, and a rebound will take more time to shake out and recollect chips before it can rise.
So I’m going long on BTC and short on ETH! $BTC $ETH Trump suddenly claimed that Russia and Ukraine have reached some kind of ceasefire agreement on energy, causing international oil prices to drop immediately. This is actually a brief easing window in external geopolitical risks, which might slightly affect the hot money jumping between various markets.
The impact of this news on my positions must be viewed from two sides. The most troublesome is my $STRK short position with a floating loss of 666%, bought at 0.09188, now at 0.104, held for almost 2 days. If this news raises the overall market risk appetite, it might not be bad for altcoins, but my short position could become more passive. I can only hold on and pray it doesn't keep surging. On the other hand, my slightly profitable $ZEC short, 50x leverage opened at 1338, now at 1328, seems to have a better chance. This asset sometimes correlates with traditional market sentiment; if the risk-off sentiment cools down because of this, it might put some pressure on it, which is an invisible assist for my short. I plan to keep holding and observe if it can drop further.
Of course, the crypto market often doesn't follow logic. If Bitcoin itself stays stable around 84190 or even quietly creeps up, and the overall market sentiment is completely unaffected by external factors, then this oil news is like it never happened for us—pure noise from the outside world.
Keeping a close eye on the market, tightening the wind and pulling the sail.The token here can go up or down. It can go up because the pullback adjustment at 87K has already secured liquidity below on the 4-hour timeframe.
It can go down because the low point of the 4-hour pullback hasn't been fully confirmed yet.
Following the principle of big moves in the main direction and small counter-moves, a small adjustment around 83000-82500 could be a chance to go long, but if it breaks below 82K, expect further pullback to find a bottom. Two types of privacy coins. Two completely different mining windows.⛏️

#PrivacyCoins #ZEC #XMR #Dash #比特币mk4 this guy is going crazy! NEAR has been like it's on steroids these days, directly breaking the year's high and approaching $6. This guy, relying solely on a long position in NEAR, has a floating profit of over $20 million, with an average price of only 2.35, a return rate of 1491%!
But don't think he got rich by all-in gambling; looking closely at his positions, this guy is extremely stubborn and tough. In his entire account, NEAR is his only long position, while the other seven coins ($BTC, $ETH, SOL, ADA, etc.) are all short positions! Now that the overall market is rebounding, those short positions are all taking hits, accumulating a floating loss of over $1 million.
However, the profit from his NEAR long is so huge that after offsetting the longs and shorts, the net floating profit of the entire account is still $19 million! I heard this guy once mistakenly cut losses on a $77 million gold short position, looks like a very storied big player. Now facing NEAR's surge, he neither reduced his position nor placed orders, showing an impressively big vision.The market is really frustrating, rising a bit then falling a bit, falling a bit then pulling back, like a loom pulling back and forth, watching the chart makes me nervous 😮💨
But honestly, this kind of sideways grinding phase is often the eve of a breakout. Market sentiment is a bit subtle right now—some are shouting that the altcoin season is coming, while others are still waiting for signals. Is it really? Let's take a closer look 👇
$BTC is currently around $74,800. Resistance above is at $76,264 (20-day moving average), then $78,000, a level repeatedly tested but not held over the weekend; support below is at $73,800 (this week's low) and the psychological $70,000 level.
$ETH is currently around $2,280. It is capped above by $2,300 (hourly chart bearish trendline), a breakout would target $2,415; support below is at $2,250, a short-term key defense line, breaking which could lead to $2,150.
$ZEC is currently around $312. Resistance above is $324 (this week's high), support below is the $300 round number.
This is different from what was expected. Today, Monday, there was no decent gain; the whole market was instead held down by geopolitical factors. The ceasefire agreement in the Strait of Hormuz from Iran has encountered new uncertainties, oil prices rebounded 8%, and the crypto market weakened accordingly. $BTC fell from the weekend high of $78,000 down to around $74,000. Over 160,000 liquidations occurred across the market in the past 24 hours.
Now we need to rethink the subsequent market situation.
Here are a few points I noticed:
First, although the Fear and Greed Index is still in the fear zone (28), it has risen significantly from the extreme fear (12) of previous weeks. Market sentiment is slowly recovering; it’s not the worst time anymore.
Second, the altcoin season index is only 34/100, and Bitcoin’s market dominance remains high at 59.8%. This indicates funds are still nesting in $BTC; the altcoin rotation hasn’t truly started. ETFs have locked institutional funds into Bitcoin, and the previous transmission chain of "BTC pumps then $ETH pumps, $ETH pumps then altcoins pump" has clearly slowed this round.
Third, on the macro side, the Federal Reserve interest rate remains at 3.50%-3.75% unchanged, and rate cut expectations have been pushed beyond September. The high interest rate environment itself suppresses risk assets, plus ongoing uncertainties in the Middle East make big money hesitant to act rashly.
Fourth, the Ethereum spot ETF had a net inflow of $276 million last week, and 32% of $ETH is already staked. On-chain supply is tightening, but the price hasn’t reflected this yet; this divergence is worth attention.
My judgment is: short-term will still be mainly consolidation, $BTC will likely grind back and forth within the $73,000-$78,000 range. $76,000 is the dividing line between bulls and bears; only breaking above it will there be a chance to challenge $80,000; breaking below $73,800 means looking down to $70,000. Don’t rush to chase altcoins; wait for $BTC to show direction first.

Now even memes are getting competitive in archaeology, an abandoned old name can still be pumped up$SNDK A slight pull-up and the market completely reverses? Be realistic!
After a surge, it immediately falls back. With such weak rebound strength, the bulls have not regained control of the market. It's really too early to talk about a reversal.
There are a lot of chips waiting to exit pressing down above. To truly turn the trend around, solid funds need to enter to support it, forcefully breaking through key resistance levels, not just a slight pull-up that is quickly smashed back by the bears.
Don't forget, the overall risks in the storage sector have always been there! $BTC $ETH #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 $Lobster Mainstream coins are eating meat, lobster gets beaten, same wind different fate, that's exactly it
In the early morning, mainstream coins collectively climbed riding the tailwind of oil prices, BTC returned to 84,000, ETH also rose 1.6%, the market finally got a bit lively.
So what is lobster doing? It surged once, then got knocked back to its original state. Current price 0.041, the 24-hour high touched 0.045 then deflated like a punctured ball. This is not the first time—previously a trader went long on lobster, floating profit surged to 2.19 million USD, but finally exited with a loss of 907,000, giving back all profits and then some.
Why doesn't lobster rise when mainstream does? Because mainstream coins feed on macro factors—oil prices, US stock futures, crypto rising in sync, funds flow toward certainty. Lobster feeds on sentiment, no fundamentals, no narrative, just hanging on a bit of fairy aura, once pushed it disperses.
When the wind blows, pigs can fly; when the wind stops, lobster can't even find its shell. Others are climbing, it is bungee jumping, then lying motionless on the ground.
Trading advice: Don't get itchy to bottom buy just because 0.041 is cheap. Wait for two signals:
Volume breakout and hold above 0.045, try a small long position, stop loss below 0.042;
Sharp drop below 0.035 with volume and stabilization, try a small rebound play. #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 $ETH A: What dimensions do $BTC, $ETH, and $NEAR represent when observed together?

#机构持续布局，BTC为何仍承压？ Whales are selling BTC to buy $ETH! Ethereum retracing to 2550 may trigger short liquidations
Direction: Long (buy the dip)
Entry range: 2540–2555
Take profit target: around 2650
Personal view:
Whales sold 410 BTC to switch positions and bought 14,300 ETH, worth $36.14 million, signaling a bullish outlook; short-term funds continue to flow in, with a 1D net inflow of 583 million and a 3D net inflow of 453 million, indicating rebound momentum remains. However, Ethereum Foundation-related wallets transferred 4,393 ETH to Kraken, posing potential selling pressure; heavy short liquidations are concentrated between 2600-2650, and breaking through this range could trigger a short squeeze.
Basis for position:
Flow Score +14, short-term funds are bullish, but 7D/15D still show net outflows, indicating a rebound market; price rebounded from the 2405 low, lightly long on the 2540-2555 support zone, aiming to play the breakout of the 2600 short liquidation zone. #CPI与PPI公布在即，加息预期迎考验 Top 10 Most Profitable Money Printing Machines in the Crypto World, Do You Know Who They Are? Here's the most counterintuitive number first: These ten companies take $14 billion from users annually. Among them, Tether and Circle $CRCL alone account for $8.3 billion—47% more than the combined total of ranks 3 to 10. Below is the full list, with a one-sentence explanation of how each makes money. 1｜Tether — $5.95 billion a year You give 1 dollar to exchange for 1 USDT, and it uses your dollar to buy U.S. Treasury bonds to earn interest. USDT is its interest-free liability, and U.S. Treasuries are its assets. In short: a business that makes money with other people's money without paying interest. 2｜Circle — $2.39 billion The exact same business as Tether. The difference is it discloses reserves, obtains all licenses, and is publicly listed. In short: earns half as much but follows a compliant path. 3｜$PUMP — $1.2 billion Anyone can issue tokens with one click here; it takes a cut on every buy and sell transaction. In short: whether meme enthusiasts profit is uncertain, but the platform owner reliably earns fees. 4｜Polymarket — $470 million A prediction market that turns "I think it will/won't" into contracts you can bet on—elections, sports, anything. In short: it doesn't gamble itself; it takes a cut. 5｜Uniswap — $950 million The largest on-chain exchangeBefore buying, users were recommended to authorize channels, but after the incident, they have to dig through technical documents and track investigation progress themselves. What would users think? This trust is really hard to restore.
A report on October 11 pointed out that CryptoBilis was once listed in Ledger's dealer directory. Ledger has confirmed that one involved device contained unauthorized hardware implants and has issued a precautionary alert to users who purchased devices from that channel in the past three months. The full cause and scope of impact are still under investigation, and it cannot be concluded that all devices have issues based on this.
This time, I am more concerned about whether the risk notification can truly reach the buyers. Announcements on the official website and social media accounts are certainly useful, but people who bought devices months ago may not follow wallet news daily. Whether the brand and channel can contact these buyers determines how many people the reminder can help.
Returns, inspections, and follow-up handling also need someone to take responsibility. Technical investigations may take time, but there should be a clear entry point for which purchase records need to be kept, who to verify batches with, and how often progress is updated. Expecting users to constantly judge whether they are affected is hard for me to accept.
I don't want to hold anyone accountable based on unconfirmed speculation, nor accept just leaving it at "channel problem." The trust brought by authorized recommendations is concrete, and post-incident service should be concrete as well. At least let users know who to contact next, rather than getting more and more anxious reading through a bunch of conflicting posts.
#Ledger调查新进展：失窃暂集中单一渠道 $UNITREE's rebound is a trap; the shorts haven't had their fill yet.
The stock price dropped from 1100 to around 414, with high-level short positions profiting, but don't rush to chase the bottom.
$UNITREE is issued at a PE of 219 times, initially speculated up to 800 times on the first day, and now hovering around 300 times. Revenue increased by 48% in the first half of the year, but net profit after deducting non-recurring items fell by 19%, showing revenue growth without profit growth. Zhiyuan's shipments have surpassed, JPMorgan Chase's target price is 300 yuan, and institutions remain cautious.
The moving averages show a bearish arrangement, the rebound lacks volume support, holding volume hasn't significantly decreased, and the short structure remains intact. After a sharp drop, there is an oversold rebound, but until it stabilizes above resistance levels, treat it only as a rebound.
The Q3 report will be disclosed on October 29; net profit after deducting non-recurring items and gross profit are key indicators. Direction will be determined after the data is released. $STRK Those who can't withstand the volatility in this trade leave first. I opened a position at 0.12 this morning, and it dropped to 0.115, hitting the stop-loss line. In less than 20 minutes, my stop-loss was triggered, then it cascaded down all the way. The more I averaged down, the more I lost. I always feel like it's finally bottomed out, but this market simply has no bottom. In a bull market, quality assets will rise sooner or later. The real test is never the ability to spot opportunities, but the ability to hold on.
Looking back, I missed too many.
DASH oscillated at a low level for a long time, finally got out of the red, and then immediately sold.
ZEC, thought the entry price wasn’t good enough, made a little profit and sold.
ONDO, while other coins surged in the bull market, it stayed still; made a little profit and sold, only to see it double right after selling.
The only ones that truly held from the bottom to the top were SUI and UNI.
Now I understand, the most expensive thing in a bull market isn’t the buying price, but the lack of firm conviction and the inability to hold quality chips.
Scrolling through Twitter really teaches you a lot. When you find quality assets, ask AI, study fundamentals, narratives, valuations, and risks. If the logic holds, buy in batches; after buying, as long as the core logic hasn’t changed, don’t easily sell just because of short-term stagnation.
The secret to making big money in a bull market isn’t chasing daily ups and downs, but finding a few truly good assets and giving time some patience.
Spotting opportunities is a skill; holding onto them is a practice.现在是洗筹还是博弈阶段，我有点说不准，但有个巨鲸的仓位让我盯着看了很久。 当"死扛"变成唯一策略，这到底是信念还是被动？ Lookonchain 最新扒出来的数据挺扎心的：Maji 那个账户现在只剩大约 154 万美元的自有资产，手里只留了一笔 ETH 多单。名义仓位是 17000 枚 ETH，价值约 4325 万美元，清算价估算在 2493 美元附近。注意哦，4325 万是仓位面值，不是他的本金。之前一周浮亏一度冲到 844 万美元，一路减仓、被强平，最后就剩这一根独苗了。 我自己看这种账户会有种很复杂的感觉。不是幸灾乐祸，是那种"如果换成我，我会不会也在同一个位置做同样的选择"的后怕。重杠杆最可怕的从来不是第一笔亏损，而是亏完之后不甘心，把剩下的筹码全压在一个方向上，指望一次反弹把所有错误抹平。 现在市场在交易什么？表面是 ETH 能不能守住 2500 这个心理关口，实际上是在交易"还有多少高杠杆多头没被清掉"。这种巨鲸的清算价挂在 2493，意味着它本身就成了一个被市场盯上的靶子。ETH 一旦往下插针到那个区间，强平会释放出额外的卖压，然后可能触发更多类似位置的止损，形成一段短促$NEAR has hit a new high again. A few days ago, when NEAR was priced at 4.8, I already said that the $ZEC whale is very likely to manipulate NEAR, and the manipulation method is exactly the same. Today, the price has rebounded 25% from the position I called out. Anyone who followed this move is making money. Many people don't fully understand my trading logic and market interpretation, so today I want to explain it to everyone.
NEAR's competitor is $ZAMA, and UNI's competitor is AERO. These projects are ones I have mentioned frequently in the community. You can also see the logic behind my calls: when a project's price is too high in the short term, I actually avoid calling it. Instead, I direct attention to its competitor. For example, when NEAR was priced at 5.6 and ZAMA was low, I told everyone that if you want to buy now, just buy ZAMA directly. Later, ZAMA rebounded to around 0.09, and NEAR dropped to about 4.6. So, a few days ago when I analyzed this sector again, I told everyone to focus on NEAR in the short term. It's that simple: all projects are good, but prices differ in the short term. We need to assess if the price is high and then reevaluate whether to enter.
The same logic applies to UNI and AERO. When UNI was priced at 9.7, I definitely didn't advise entering; I said to buy AERO directly. Recently, UNI has dropped to around 7 $XAUT
Not every crypto asset is about chasing fast pumps.
XAUT is a gold-backed token designed to track the value of physical gold. That makes gold prices, the US dollar, and interest-rate expectations important factors to watch.
If gold strengthens, XAUT may benefit. If gold pulls back, the token can feel that pressure too.
Keep in mind that token prices can also be affected by liquidity, trading spreads, and platform conditions.
Understand what you're holding before making a move.
#XAUT 🔥Oil prices retreat! BTC and gold see bottom support opportunities $BTC $BZ
Core logic: Oil price decline brings positive impact to risk assets
1. Energy news disturbance
Rumors of a ceasefire at Russian-Ukrainian energy facilities have led to a rapid reduction in crude oil risk premiums. Trump disclosed agreements related to Russian oil supply and diesel, and the market expects easing pressure on energy supply.
⚠️Key point: Neither Russia nor Ukraine has officially confirmed a ceasefire; the news carries significant uncertainty.
2. Profit-taking at high levels
Previously, Middle East conflicts and attacks on oil tankers pushed oil prices up. Brent crude oil surged to $105.6 per barrel in early trading on October 12 but quickly fell back, with funds taking profits at the high.
The decline in oil prices benefits BTC and gold, providing bottom support for these two major assets.
Today the US Treasury market is closed; subsequent BTC and gold trends will depend on US Treasury yield pricing.
Market focus is on the CPI data on the 14th, which will directly affect interest rate hike expectations! I came across two recruitment posts from the core developers of Dogecoin in the community. Guess what they're hiring for—native Japanese speakers to help proofread document translations. No coding required, no technical knowledge needed, just good Japanese.
I laughed for a long time when I saw this. A cryptocurrency project recruiting people to translate documents, and specifically looking for Japanese translators. The scene is just too cute.
After laughing, I thought seriously about it. When a project starts caring about document translation, it means it’s beginning to take "users" seriously. It’s not just serving English speakers, not just for people who understand technology. It wants Japanese people to also understand how to use it.
Later, I saw another post: Dogecoin’s core developers are recruiting people for various roles—documentation, translation, community management, and more. A decentralized community project doesn’t rely on paying salaries to hire people; it relies on volunteers stepping up to work. The fact that people are willing to work means they care. The foundation of the $DOGE community is stronger than many imagine. Spot ETF data situation:
Bitcoin saw a net outflow of about $680 million last week, marking the first outflow after three consecutive weeks of inflows, while the second largest also experienced an outflow of $540 million, indicating a phase of capital rotation.
The core reasons remain the usual three: rising US Treasury yields, strengthening oil prices, and a stronger US dollar.
The situation may become more complex going forward; the existing on-exchange funds can no longer drive new trends, which will instead be dominated by inflation data and spot trading volume! There is little short-term participation value, so gradually wait for mid- to long-term buying opportunities at lower levels.
