October 14 QNT Watch: Banks Going On-Chain, The Key Lies in Payment Conditions
Today, the discussion heat around QNT remains high, but the price has not strengthened accordingly. Interpreting banks adopting Quant technology directly as token demand growth misses an intermediate transmission chain that still needs verification.
Quant wrote in the October 8 Sibos review that the minimum viable version of The Clearing House's on-chain currency program focuses on cross-border payments with multi-party conditions and fund transfers between group entities; securities payment matching is being explored in parallel. This is a summary of previous meeting content, not a newly announced cooperation today.
An easier-to-understand example comes from the UK pilot: Quant's September whitepaper records two mortgage transfer transactions that automatically release locked funds upon completion, and another consumer transaction that releases payment upon delivery of goods. The role of the technology is to write "when payment can be made" into the process, not just to replace a ledger.
This also leaves two boundaries: if delivery certificates are incorrect, automatic execution may still produce erroneous results; the actual usage volume of banking systems, fee arrangements, and how they correspond to QNT demand also require separate evidence. Project progress can be continuously observed; pilot completion, commercial scale, and token value should not be conflated.

For informational purposes only, not investment advice.Earlier this week, the High Court in London made a ruling that directly changed the path for 128,000 domestic victims to claim 61,000 bitcoins (worth about $5 billion), determining that the property rights claims to these bitcoins must be judged according to domestic law rather than UK law. For many victims, this is not a final judgment, but it could be a key lost step in the entire pursuit battle. The case dates back to 2014, when Qian Zhimin used Tianjin Lantian Gerui Electronics Technology as a shell to establish an investment network nationwide, with as many as 128,000 victims. According to a special audit, Lantian Gerui absorbed more than 40.2 billion yuan in funds, of which about 34.1 billion yuan was returned to some investors, but not everyone received money. Qian Zhimin converted part of the funds into bitcoin. From 2014 to 2017, she purchased over 100,000 bitcoins through exchange accounts at an average price of about 2,815 yuan each. Including subsequent over-the-counter transactions and mining income, the prosecution claims she bought a total of about 195,000 bitcoins, nearly 1% of the total bitcoin supply. $BTC In 2017, when the case broke, Qian Zhimin fled with a forged passport, carrying a laptop containing an encrypted wallet. After arriving in the UK, she recruited a Chinese woman named Wen Jian to assist her in making large purchases across Europe. The turning point came in 2018, when the two attempted to buy a London luxury home worth £23.5 million with bitcoin, which attracted police attention due to the unclear source of funds. The London police repeatedly searched and eventually froze 61,000 bitcoins. Wen Jian was sentenced to 6 years and 8 months in prison #CPI Landing Night, a Rebound Does Not Equal New Capital Inflow
Core CPI rose by 0.1%, which will directly raise market expectations for a Fed rate hike. In past trends, when core CPI exceeded expectations, ETH once rose 6% within an hour, essentially due to concentrated short positions stopping out, not a large influx of new funds. Cryptocurrency prices often price in negative news in advance; after the initial drop absorbs the pressure, the data release can trigger a V-shaped reversal.
In this scenario simulation, overall CPI is driven up to 0.6% by oil prices, and core CPI is 0.2%. The market will most likely dip first before rebounding. BTC key level is 83300; holding above this may test 85000; if it falls below 82500, look toward 80000. ETH is more volatile, with downside moves often stronger than BTC.
It is not advisable to bet on a one-sided direction before data disclosure. Wait for a pullback after a rally, follow the trend if the market weakens; the first 15-minute candlestick high is more indicative than market sentiment. In past CPI events, some profited while others suffered losses. This is for opinion exchange only and does not constitute investment advice; contract trading carries very high risk. If data deviates significantly from expectations, this scenario logic will fail.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 The September CPI is about to be released, and Cleveland Fed President Harker has already taken a hawkish stance: interest rates still need to be raised further. This is not a simple hawkish statement but a warning about the stubbornness of inflation—businesses are gradually accepting high prices, and once inflation expectations become entrenched, the cost of policy will multiply.
The market expects the overall CPI to rise above 3.6% due to an energy rebound, but the core CPI may only increase slightly. This data will determine whether the Fed will "preemptively" raise rates in October: if core inflation is moderate, the probability of action in December is higher; if it again exceeds expectations, the October rate hike window will reopen.
A deeper contradiction is that the Fed is being pulled in three directions: the White House continues to pressure for rate cuts, internal voting members are divided in a way rarely seen in decades, and the overheating demand brought by AI investment adds a new variable. Harker's "monologue" may not become consensus but accurately pinpoints the core issue—the cost of delay may be far higher than the cost of action.
Before the data is released, the Fed has no room for "graceful waiting." Standard Chartered Bank officially supports $RLUSD
Ripple$XRP is breaking into the institutional market, and Ripple has recently achieved another important milestone.
On October 12, Standard Chartered Bank officially announced that through its Dubai International Financial Centre branch, it will provide institutional custody services for the RLUSD stablecoin issued on the XRP Ledger.
At the same time, Standard Chartered will collaborate with Ripple and LMAX Group to plan for RLUSD to become qualified collateral for institutional trading.
This means that institutions will have the opportunity in the future to have RLUSD custodied by the bank while using its value as collateral management on trading platforms, reducing the risks caused by repeated asset transfers.
However, the collateral integration feature is still in the planning stage and has not been fully implemented.
Many past stablecoin projects mainly competed on exchange liquidity and user scale, but Ripple is clearly moving towards bank custody, institutional trading, and cross-border settlement.
This path is more complex than simply expanding stablecoin issuance but is easier to establish long-term institutional partnerships.
For $XRP, the expansion of the RLUSD ecosystem benefits the practical use of XRPL, although growth in stablecoin business does not necessarily mean the price of XRP will rise in sync.
Next, we can observe the circulation scale of RLUSD and when LMAX's collateral integration will officially launch.
#渣打银行为Ripple旗下RLUSD提供托管服务 The most noteworthy change for BTC today is not the price returning to 83K, but that the macro pressure in the US has finally eased to some extent.
The 10-year US Treasury yield has fallen back to 5.21%, the US dollar index has dropped to around 102.3, and BTC ETFs have disclosed a temporary inflow of over $100 million.
However, the market still faces two unresolved issues: the Fed may continue to raise rates by the end of the year, and energy prices remain high.
Therefore, tonight's CPI is very critical.
If inflation is lower than expected, the 10Y yield falls below 5.2%, and ETFs ultimately confirm net inflows, then BTC has a chance to reestablish a foundation to rebound to 85K or even 87K.
But if CPI significantly exceeds expectations, long-term yields rise again, and IBIT final data weakens, then the rebound near 83K may still only be a short-term correction after deleveraging.According to intelligence compilation, OKX's Xu Mingxing questioned whether the $800 million compensation mentioned by CZ was downplaying the massive crash on October 10, when about $19 billion was liquidated. He Yi immediately retorted, and xhunt even opened a team voting (the above is second-hand information compilation; please refer to the original texts from all parties). This scene is too familiar: two former leaders subtly mocking each other in their friend circles. You say, "I'm not downplaying it," I say, "You are brainwashing." The comment section is full of people bringing small stools, and some seriously taking sides to vote. I just want to say, it's fine to watch the drama, but don't forget your own money is still held by them. The $19 billion liquidation on October 10 is not news; it's a lesson. Many people's feeling at the time was that they clearly did nothing wrong, yet their accounts were wiped out with one click. Arguing now about how much compensation or whose narrative is correct is just post-event rhetoric, like arguing after a breakup about who was cold first. Even if you win the argument, your losses won't come back. Regarding taking sides, I sincerely suggest saving your energy. Exchanges are not your partners; they are your marketplaces. Use them if they work well; switch if they don't. Don't talk about loyalty, and don't feel reassured just because the boss is tough on Twitter. The real things you should do: First, don't put all your assets in one place; spread them across different platforms. Second, keep what you use regularly; transfer the rest to self-custody wallets where you hold the private keys yourself. Third, check if the exchange has publicly disclosed proof of reserves. Saying "we are very safe" and providing evidence are two different things. Fourth, always keep a buffer in leveraged positions; in extreme market conditions, platform rules prevail, not your words. By the way, here is the data from that day 刚扫了一眼盘口，BTC那根30分钟K线砸下来的时候，我手里的热可可都凉了半截。 你有没有发现，这次多头仓位反而成了最危险的信号？ 看衍生品数据，多头1.87B对空头980M，差距快两倍了。但过去半小时主动卖出51.63M，买入只有19M，卖压几乎是买盘的三倍。更有意思的是，多头还在加仓，多了18.15M，空头反而减了9.75M。这说明什么？不是多头在进攻，是空头在撤退，而新多头在接盘。这种结构下，价格对卖单的敏感度会变得很高，因为下方没有足够的空头回补来托底。 同时黄金那边在走避险叙事，BTC却卡在风险偏好和避险属性的夹缝里。资金不是简单地在轮动，而是在重新定价BTC的贝塔。如果美股继续软，加密内部的杠杆多头会被动降仓，ETH和山寨跟跌的幅度可能比BTC更大，因为它们的衍生品深度更薄。 偏多的路径是：如果卖压在51M附近衰竭，空头回补能推动一波快速反弹，毕竟空头仓位已经减了，剩余空头更谨慎。但风险在于，多头集中度太高，一旦跌破关键支撑，连环清算会放大跌幅，而且黄金的强势还在吸走宏观避险资金，加密的边际买盘在变弱。 我的判断是，现在不是看方向的时候，是看衍生品结构什么时候出清。多头不砍仓"Three Breaths Before Data Night"
CPI countdown, the market calms down first.
HYPE stands at 84.929, down 1.22% for the day, treating the 85 level as the last line of defense. With 97% of revenue repurchased providing confidence, it still nearly broke down intraday. Big brother Majhi has exited, large holders are reducing positions, yet someone is buying near the threshold. It behaves more like a highly elastic altcoin: if CPI is hot, the drop could exceed Bitcoin; if cool, the rebound will be faster.
ZEC is at 1223.04, down 0.71%. After an 8.9% bounce the previous day, it is giving back some gains today, which is still digestion. Privacy coins are inherently volatile, currently lacking independent narratives, and in a rate hike environment, they can only drift with the broader market; fundamentals are temporarily not the pricing driver.
OKB is at 124.51, down 1.14%, continuing to test the bottom below 125. Platform tokens lack their own catalysts, moving with the broader market rhythm but are more resilient than smaller coins. Before the data release, sideways consolidation is the most reasonable stance.
One guards the gate, one recovers breath, one meditates. Before CPI, all three postures await the same gust of wind.
Risk reminder: For market observation only, not investment advice.Tonight the US CPI is released. The whole market feels like meeting your partner's parents for the first time—changed clothes three times, took deep breaths in the hallway before entering. Bitcoin these past two days is like the person pacing at the door. On Monday, it was hit down to the weekly low; on Tuesday, it rebounded over 2% back near 83,500. Then it stopped at the 84,000 threshold, neither daring to knock nor wanting to leave (all data as of intraday on the 13th). Interestingly, prices are warming up, but money is flowing out. The spot ETF had a net outflow of about $65.4 million on Monday. Institutions' attitude is like a dating partner replying slower and slower—not blocked, but enthusiasm clearly cooled. On the other hand, Strategy added another 250 BTC. The guy is still the one delivering breakfast come rain or shine. However, the market is starting to discuss his rising financing costs. The affection is real, but so is the bill. ETH is holding above 2,500, but contract open interest has dropped to the lowest since February. It's not that people don't love it anymore; they just don't want to leverage up for love. This isn't necessarily bad—less bubble means a steadier path. My own view is simple: tonight's CPI is like the parents' words. If the data is mild, it's probably a "good kid, come visit often." The 84,000 door might open. If the data is hot, then don't rush; take your time and watch. Pullbacks and digestion are normal. So rather than betting on what the parents say, better to figure out how much volatility you can handle. Lighter positions, looser mindset. Uptober or Rektober, let the data speak. We just need to avoid being driven by emotions.South Korea's KOSPI plunged 5.4%, with Samsung and Hynix being sold off; US semiconductor stocks also fell sharply. Bitcoin, however, remains steady around 83,500.
170,000 people liquidated in 24 hours, $814 million evaporated: long liquidations at 686 million, short liquidations at 128 million — the longs were squeezed. Exchange BTC balance dropped from 2.8 million to 2.67 million, with whales stepping in to buy.
The AI narrative has fractured, and Bitcoin's "non-AI" attribute might instead make it a safe haven for hot money. $BTC BTC has pulled up to around 83430, and the market is already showing clear signs of exhaustion. In the past 24 hours, short positions worth 282 million have been liquidated. The bulls seem to have pushed a wave to trigger short liquidations, but above 83639 there is a large liquidation wall of 100x leveraged long positions. This kind of level is prone to stop-hunting and then reversing to dump. On TradingView, MACD shows bearish divergence, RSI is overbought, chasing longs is purely fueling the market makers.
I just sent an order to an old small five-story building, and when I came back and saw this level, I immediately closed my long position, not daring to be greedy. Do not open longs near the current price around 83430. If it rebounds to the 83600-84000 range, enter short positions directly, with stop loss above 84600, first take profit at 82000, second take profit at the 80000 round number. If the price first drops to around 80200 but does not break 80000, you can lightly enter longs, stop loss at 79200, take profit at 83000.
The main strategy leans towards shorting at highs because of the liquidation wall above and overbought confluence. Don't follow emotions, and don't max out leverage.

#闪迪美光下跌，长鑫技术进展受关注
@OKX星球 #Semiconductor sector faces concentrated sell-off, South Korea's KOSPI drops over 6%
Mid-term intelligence just monitored the Korean stock market: KOSPI fell over 6% intraday, breaking below 6000 points, Samsung Electronics and Hynix were heavily sold off, and the exchange activated programmatic sell suspension. This is no ordinary correction.
First, US AI hardware stocks fell first, Broadcom and Intel said "AI bottleneck is money, not chips," and high-valued memory stocks were sold off first;
Second, with the progress of ChangXin 4F² DRAM, the market fears Korean manufacturers' pricing power will be eroded;
Third, the Korean stock market is too J-shaped, Samsung and Hynix account for nearly half of KOSPI, the more concentrated the weight, the more the sell-off looks like a stampede.
Mid-term view is straightforward:
The AI mega cycle is not dead, but the "storytelling—assigning high valuations" phase is over, now entering the "look at cash flow, capital expenditure, and EPS" phase. The Korean stock market is a global semiconductor sentiment thermometer; it crashes first, so A-share memory/computing power stocks should not be forced up.
In terms of operation: don't rush to catch the falling knife in semiconductors, wait for US bond yields to fall, foreign capital selling pressure to ease, and the leading stocks to stop falling with three K-line confirmations.

$SKHY 上周我们还在讨论"ETF五天净流出2.2亿美元"；一周之后，这个数字变成了6.97亿——三倍的速度。托底的那笔钱，是真的在集体撤退吗？ 先说新闻。今天最新的一组数据显示：美国现货ETF最近5个交易日净流出约6.968亿美元（前一周同期约2.218亿），10日累计净流出5.463亿，最新单日净流出1.85亿。价格同步走弱：BTC现报82,444.3美元，24小时 -0.33%、近一周 -3.82%，20日区间下沿仍是80,400。也就是说，流出的速度在加快，而价格正在向下沿靠近。 再看资金影响。ETF净流出有两种完全不同的性质：一种是"换手型"——获利了结后资金还在市场里，只是换了持有形式（转向期货、现货自持）；另一种是"退场型"——资金真正离开这个资产。区分两者的关键在同步数据：如果是换手型，稳定币总量通常不会下降，衍生品持仓结构会变化；如果是退场型，你会看到稳定币缩水、ETF连续多日大额流出、价格跌破关键区间。目前的组合更接近后者，这也是我把风险级别上调的原因。 对BTC的含义：ETF是这一轮上涨最重要的边际买盘。当边际买盘从净流入转为连续净流出，价格的中期支撑就会从"资金推动"切换10.14 Wednesday BTC and ETH outlook
BTC near 83500, ETH at 2507. After dipping to 81000 early yesterday morning, it rebounded. Williams gave a dovish tone, but he said "there may still be one more rate hike this year," not that there won't be any, so don't overinterpret. ETFs are still bleeding; last week Bitcoin outflows were 681 million, Ethereum outflows were 542 million. Tonight's CPI is the key; if the core month-on-month hits 0.3%, rate hike expectations will reignite, and the market will likely fall further.
Resistance above is 84000-84500, support below is 81300-82000 in the short term. If 84000 is not broken, the rebound is just a correction.
Trading reference
BTC: Short at rebound 83800-84500, target 82500, if broken down look for 81500-80800.
ETH: Short at rebound 2540-2560, target 2480, if broken down look for 2440-2400. $BTC $ETH #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 From the data, it is not very suitable to short right now. Let's take a look at the contract data of $ETH. We can see that from yesterday morning until now, its open interest first rose then fell, and the corresponding long-short ratio of contracts first fell then rose. At the same time, its final long-short ratio is lower than at the beginning. In other words, during the upward movement, many people were shorting, but now many large short positions have exited. So I think it's not suitable to short for the time being; it is estimated that it will rise a bit more later. Let's look at data over a longer period. This data looks better, showing that a lot of capital has exited, and they are large holders. Therefore, from a mid-to-long-term perspective, it is currently at a very high position and will still fall later. In summary, it is not time to short yet; we need to wait and observe more. I am currently going long on $SNDK, and I might exit at any time or short $ETH at any time.$SNDK SanDisk's 1400 level still holds some significance, with three dips at 1408, 1411, and 1403 where I thought it might break, but fortunately it held strong.
Yesterday, Asian stock markets opened low and closed high, luckily I bet correctly 😈
The short-term resistance is at the 1500 level, which has already been broken. If it holds above this level, the next target is around 1620. If it doesn't hold, I personally think it might be good to reduce a bit.
If it can continue to break through and hold around 1620, this wave could likely reach 1750-1800 for a small swing.
AI data centers' demand for NAND storage continues to expand, the NBM protocol locks in long-term revenue visibility, and S&P's rating upgrade confirms financial health—these are all tangible positives.
The stock price's pullback from 1900 to 1400 reflects the market's early pricing of future competitive dynamics—if CXMT successfully enters the high-end NAND market, it could weaken the pricing power of the current leader, while SanDisk's profitability heavily depends on pricing.
The above are my personal views for reference only #Strategy增持放缓，企业财库策略生变？
This morning I laid out the announcements released this week by three treasury companies. At first, I also thought they were all busy increasing their crypto holdings.
Strategy is quite straightforward: they bought 250 BTC and repurchased $192 million worth of STRC in the same period. Metaplanet issued 52 billion yen in convertible bonds this morning, mainly using the proceeds to repurchase their own shares and repay part of their BTC-backed loans. Strive actually increased by 3,311 last week, and today they are pushing a fixed 15% preferred stock to raise funds.
Among the three, the first two spent more this week on protecting the per-share crypto holdings. If Strive reports another large purchase in the pre-market 8-K today, I will narrow this down to Strategy and Metaplanet and come back to admit I was wrong.$BTC ETH is worse than BTC: ETF withdrawals for 9 consecutive days, 2500 is a face value, not a bottom
BTC at least holds around 83k, ETH is really not that good. Spot ETH ETF has had net outflows for 9 consecutive days as of 10/9, withdrawing about 697 million over nine days, with 56.1 million withdrawn on 10/9 alone.
ETH is now at 2501 USD, it doesn't look like it's crashing, but the structure is weak: BTC market dominance is about 59.5%, funds are moving to "Bitcoin + stablecoins" for shelter, altcoins and ETH are secondary options.
Additionally, large holders like BitMine say "once we buy 5%, we won't buy more," reducing spot demand. So don't think ETH is cheap just because it hasn't dropped much; when institutions retreat, secondary assets always get dumped before the leader #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 📉 BTC + ETH + SOL + ZEC: Don't be fooled by the 24-hour inflow; short-term funds are still withdrawing!
🟠 BTC: Outflow of 172 million in 4 hours, 158 million in 8 hours; despite a net inflow of 55.51 million in 24 hours, there is a net outflow of 3.313 billion over the week. Medium-term selling pressure remains a concern.
🔵 ETH: Outflow of 99.32 million in 4 hours, 127 million in 8 hours; short-term funds have not clearly returned yet, and the sustainability of the rebound still needs verification.
🟣 SOL: Outflows of 8.92 million and 13.68 million in 4 and 8 hours respectively, with a 24-hour inflow of 20.12 million; fund direction remains divided, so blind chasing of gains is not advisable for now.
⚡ ZEC: Outflow of 22.77 million in 8 hours, net outflow of 299 million over the week; fund support is weak, and stop-flow signals still need to be observed.
📊 Core judgment: Currently short-term bearish, but fund outflow does not necessarily mean price must fall. Before the CPI and PPI releases, focus on whether funds can continue to return and whether key supports hold. The rebound should be seen as a repair first, not rushed to be identified as a reversal.
#9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？ The one that falls the least is not necessarily the most resistant to decline.
On the same day, $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL all moved downward together.
But the ways they fell were completely different.
Here’s the conclusion:
The declines of the three coins come from different sources.
$BTC is driven by emotional contagion, $ETH by capital withdrawal.
$SOL is being crushed by contract shorts, while the spot market barely moved.
Now for the reasons:
On-chain funds can distinguish who is truly selling and who is just dragged down.
$BTC is supported by the 400-day moving average, with large holders buying at low levels.
$ETH has continuous ETF outflows, and wallets are still transferring funds out.
$SOL’s spot outflows are minimal; all the pressure is on derivatives.
By identifying the source, you know which line is emotion and which is real money.
When you can’t tell, every drop looks real.
#BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？ $BTC $ETH Finally starting to understand yesterday's deep V-shaped movement:
At first, it was a sharp drop caused by long liquidations: 170,000 people liquidated, totaling $815 million, with longs accounting for $689 million.
Then came the rebound due to liquidity gap filling. However, since no new funds entered to catch the dip, it can only be considered a technical correction, not a trend reversal.
Finally, it dropped again because although selling pressure eased, institutional ETF demand remained weak, with no buying support for the coin price.
I noticed three structural signals for reference:
1. Whales are buying $BTC: whale holdings rose to 3.03 million BTC, and spot ETF net inflows for the year turned positive from a previous net outflow of 83,000 BTC to about 2,300 BTC.
2. Small investors are retreating, but big players are leveraging up: in September, institutional-level users borrowing $BTC with USDT loans over $10 million increased by 83.3%, while retail borrowing decreased by 17.2%. This indicates that chips are concentrating in the hands of a few.
3. The premium on treasury stock $MSTR is gone. Strategy holds 848,250 coins worth about $70.6 billion at current prices, but the company's market cap is only about $51.1 billion.
In the past two years, the "issue shares to buy coins" model was the most profitable in the US stock market. Now the market offers a discount instead of a premium—this is a very key qualitative change in this cycle.Third Sister's Dogecoin is hanging on the tree, climbing higher and higher, no rush at all, brothers.
"It doesn't move because it's waiting for everyone else to move first"
$DOGE rebounds across the board, but it pretends to be asleep. Guess what the funds are waiting for? Waiting for macro fundamentals to settle, waiting for the market to show its stance, waiting for a window that belongs only to meme coins.
CPI and interest rate hike expectations hang overhead, big money won't rush in first. DOGE is an emotional lever; the later the market phase, the more likely it is to be remembered.
On-chain chips are slowly concentrating, exchange balances aren't piling up, the sideways movement looks more like turnover than collapse.
Don't mistake quiet for no action. Meme explosions never rely on announcements; they rely on rotation to it when there aren't many sell orders left on the order book.
The target is temporarily set at 0.15, provided it holds with volume. Before any signal, patience is more valuable than courage.
#9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 $HYPE actually has no selling pressure; anyone who has truly studied it will come to this conclusion.
The rise of HYPE is based on the strong profit-making ability of derivatives, not a pump by manipulators.
The real circulating supply of HYPE is very low, only 100 million tokens, with about 10% actually circulating; the rest are locked, burned, or not yet released, extremely tightly controlled.
I previously said the only solution for HYPE is a price pump.
The real circulating supply of HYPE is 8 billion, not 20 billion, nor 80 billion after full circulation.
$UNI does have strong selling pressure; I have posted charts showing large sell orders at the top and exchange balances hitting new highs. $BTC Korean stocks plummeted, but BTC did not follow the drop; this is more important than the rise or fall.
South Korea's KOSPI fell about 7.4% in a week, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix being heavily sold off by foreign investors. Since the beginning of the year, foreign investors have sold about $129 billion worth of these two companies alone. In the past, tech stock crashes → risk appetite collapse → BTC follows the drop. But this time, BTC bounced back from 81k to above 83k, indicating that the transmission from "Asian tech stocks → crypto" is not as smooth.
One explanation is: BTC now pays more attention to the US dollar, ETF flows, and the Federal Reserve; another explanation is: on-exchange funds are "leaving bad stocks and riding the digital gold narrative." Regardless of which, the conclusion is the same — stop forcing the old script of "Nasdaq down means BTC must fall" onto the 2026 market. #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 $BTC spot BTC ETF is withdrawing, don't overstate the "institutional bull market"
In October, the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of about $451 million, with $69 million flowing out just on Monday. What does this indicate? Institutions are not blindly buying; even when the price reaches 83,000–84,000, they are taking profits or watching. Many people are still stuck in the narrative of "ETF buying spree" from earlier this year, but currently: retail wants to rush in, institutions are withdrawing; the public is shouting bull, but the funds are running.
However, don't jump to bearish conclusions. Tesla still holds 11,509 BTC, which at 83,400 amounts to nearly a $1 billion position; SpaceX holds about 8,285 BTC, and the Musk group is "not trading but also not selling." So institutions are not bearish on BTC; they just don't want to be the bag holders at this level. #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 $BTC The Fed's statement at midnight is more eagerly awaited by the crypto community than by the US stock market
New York Fed President Williams spoke at midnight: one more rate hike this year is appropriate, but there's no reason to continue tightening in 2027. Translation: hawkish with a dovish tilt. The market's biggest fear is "endless rate hikes," and now the Fed's third-in-command is basically saying "just one, don't panic."
After the news, the dollar index dropped 0.41% to 102.167, US Treasury yields retreated, gold and US stocks both breathed a sigh of relief, and BTC was no longer hammered by macro factors. The crypto market is now more tightly linked to the dollar and real interest rates than before; when the Fed eases, risk assets get a breather first; even if a real rate hike lands, BTC may not necessarily crash because "expectations" matter more than "actions." #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 From last night to early this morning, Bitcoin staged a V-shaped reversal: rising from a low of 80,951 to a high of 84,053, making a $3,100 round trip in one day, currently hovering around 83,100. The entire network saw $770 million liquidated in 24 hours, with over 80% being long positions, and more than 170,000 people liquidated. Tonight at 8:30, the US September CPI will be released — this is the last inflation report before the Federal Reserve meeting on October 27, carrying full weight. Yesterday's decline was not just a crypto issue. South Korea's KOSPI dropped 5.46% in one day, directly triggering a circuit breaker, spreading panic from the stock market to the crypto market, with BTC briefly dipping below 81,000. But the quality of this rebound is not bad: it is driven by spot buying, not leverage. On-chain data shows spot CVD (active buy orders minus active sell orders) rose in sync with the price recovery, indicating real money is buying, not just futures contracts betting on direction. Institutional hands and retail hearts are temporarily not aligned. The US Bitcoin spot ETF has seen a cumulative net outflow of about $454 million since October, with $65.4 million flowing out on Monday alone; Ethereum ETFs are worse, with nine consecutive days of net outflows, totaling $635 million in October. The three major macro factors have not shifted: US Treasury yields remain near 24-year highs, the dollar index is the strongest since April, and crude oil surged to $107. The fear and greed index fromA high-leverage trader nicknamed "Sister Bao" by on-chain trackers just proved her grasp of short-term rhythm with two closing orders: a $BTC long opened at 83092.2 and closed at 83970.8, netting 563.62U, a return of +96.90%; a $ZEC short opened at 1289.02 and closed at 1247.91, netting 816.98U, a return of +158.45%. These two trades were in opposite directions and very short-term, yet both precisely hit the trend starting points. 🎯 But what’s truly worth analyzing isn’t these two wins, but the current open position structure she holds. The entire account is all 100x leverage perpetuals: the $BTC long is only 0.4 coins, margin 333.4U, average price 83547.3, mark price 83352.2, unrealized loss 78.04U, paper return -23.35%—this is just a slight pullback. The real drag on the account is the $ETH long: 199.258 coins, margin 4982.98U, average price 2723.87, mark price 2500.77, unrealized loss has reached 44455.22U, paper return -819.06%. This is the largest current drawdown source in the account and a key signal for judging her next moves. Here appears a notable divergence: she continuously realizes short-term profits on $BTC and $ZEC, yet maintains a deeply underwater high-leverage long on $ETH. This is not passive trapping but more like an active choice—to hedge long-term positions with short-term profits.$ETH Once it broke below 2500, Brother Maji was immediately pushed to the edge of a cliff.
If he doesn't want to be completely liquidated, he can only keep cutting losses and closing positions. He slashed his position down to 8.5 million, losing 11.9 million dollars in a week. The account's net value is now only 288,000, all thrown in as margin, holding on desperately.
Opening price was 2545, liquidation price 2392. In other words, he's repeatedly hovering around the liquidation line.
This guy is really stubborn, the die-hard long position persona won't fall. But the market is something that punishes defiance.
288,000 in the crypto world, to put it bluntly, is just a large retail investor level. With such a fierce short attack, can he really hold on?Yesterday's deep V move was not in vain. BTC closed above 83000, this morning around 83400, 24-hour high at 84158, ETH at 2500, SOL at 107. Although it couldn't hold above 84000, it didn't drop back to 81000 either. This closing posture can be considered passing. Looking at the candlesticks over the past two days, there's a lot of information. On Monday, a false breakout at 84352 dropped back to 81800; on Tuesday, a false break below 81062 was pulled back above 84000. Bulls and bears were continuously caught on both sides, with 170,000 liquidations, and floating chips were heavily shaken out. The area between 80400 and 81000 was tested twice and recovered both times, thickening the double bottom base. The market is now at a critical point; 84000 to 85000 is dense resistance above, 81000 to 80400 is strong support below, and the range is narrowing, getting closer to a real directional choice. A volume breakout above 85000 will confirm the double bottom, with a rebound target of 87000; a drop below 80400 without recovery will mean double bottom failure, with 78000 in sight. Before the direction is clear, the strategy is simple: wait. Hold spot positions firmly, keep buy orders at 80000 and 78000 but don't expect immediate fills, and do not add positions chasing the price before breaking 85000. In this kind of two-way pin action market, frequent trading is just giving money to the market. Tonight, the US September CPI data will be released, the biggest macro variable this week. Interest rate expectations will directly give direction. Don't move positions before the data; let the data speak first.📉 Today's rebound is a short squeeze, not new inflows.
In the past 24 hours, BTC liquidations reached 68.56 million, with shorts accounting for 70.9%; ETH liquidations were 58.61 million, with shorts at 62.2%.
But altcoins liquidated longs — "other" coins had 50.62 million in longs, accounting for 83.2%.
ETF daily net value shifted from a net outflow of 65.4 million to a net inflow of 6.7 million.
Mechanism: The probability of a rate hike on October 28 dropped from 70% to 19%, easing dollar pressure and prompting shorts to retreat first.
On the planet, on day 13 of the "10U Challenge," Peak Brother at Desperate Cliff 🇺🇸 wrote last night "aiming for 85,000." This is the position shorts have conceded.
KOSPI fell 5.46% yesterday and rebounded 2% today.
Last night, I gave a range of 81,000–84,500, with a 12-hour low of 81,032.8 and a high of 84,166.3.
Tonight at 20:30 CPI is expected year-over-year at 3.4%→3.6–3.7%. (Personal opinion, not investment advice)
My prediction: Core month-over-month ≤0.2%, BTC will hit 84,500–85,500 within 24 hours; ≥0.3% targets 82,000.
Short covering can pull the price high but not establish a trend.
Do you think it will break 84,500 first tonight, or fall back to 82,000 first?
$BTC $ETH #9月CPI公布在即Saylor is out again shouting about 100,000.
He said $BTC already bottomed below 60,000, now back in the 80,000 range, and can break 100,000 again later, with an annual increase of 20% to 30% in the coming years.
Sounds pretty encouraging.
But if you break down what he said, the really interesting part isn’t the price prediction, it’s the latter part — MSCI wants to change the index rules, possibly kicking out companies like Strategy that mainly rely on hoarding coins rather than operating profits from the global index, and he’s panicking.
To put it simply, part of his bullishness is faith, part is because his net worth is tied up in it; if the index kicks them out, the buying volume will drop significantly.
So I’m cautious this round.
He says it’s bottomed, I believe half of that. He says he’ll keep increasing holdings, I believe that too. But the more someone is desperate to keep the rules unchanged, the tighter that line is being pulled.
Whether 100,000 can be reached again, I don’t know; first let’s see if MSCI accepts him.

#$BTC September CPI to be released tonight
The Federal Reserve may continue to raise interest rates!
At 20:30 tonight, the U.S. will release the September CPI data.
The market currently expects the September CPI to rise 3.6% year-on-year, higher than the previous 3.4%; core CPI is expected to rise 2.5% year-on-year, also higher than the previous 2.4%.
Cleveland Fed President Harker recently emphasized again that to bring inflation back to the 2% target, the Federal Reserve still needs to raise interest rates further.
The biggest problem right now is energy prices. $CL oil prices remain high, which may cause overall inflation to accelerate again, and core inflation has not fully cooled down.
This CPI release is very important for BTC, $XAU gold, and U.S. stocks.
If the data exceeds expectations, the market may further increase bets on a rate hike in December, and risk assets will remain under short-term pressure.
But I do not intend to panic sell before the data is released. Recent rate hike expectations have repeatedly affected the market. Tonight, besides watching the CPI itself, it is more important to see if $BTC can hold the lows of the past few days after the data release. #BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？ In this rebound, BTC alone carries the banner, while other major coins only recover from low levels.
In this divergent market, who is really leading this rebound? Market data provides a clear answer: risk aversion among funds remains evident.
From 101.63 rising to 108.56, the rebound from the low is impressive, but there is still about a 3% gap from the 24-hour opening price of 112.19, and the 113.12 resistance has not yet been touched.
From 2409 rebounding to 2532, the low-level recovery is decent but has not reclaimed the 2560 opening position, with clear pressure at 2580 above.
From 81033 rising to 83700, it is only 0.3% below the 24-hour opening price of 83983, showing the best recovery among the three; under uncertainty, funds prioritize flowing to the most liquid assets.
This is a BTC-driven recovery, not a broad market risk appetite revival. Only when all three simultaneously break key price levels will funds spread to high Beta coins; if only BTC strengthens while others lag, it only indicates funds seeking safety in BTC.
The core observation level for this round is BTC 84360.
$BTC $ETH $SOL 💥 Don't rush to buy, 65% of the bulls haven't been wiped out yet
$BTC $ETH $ZEC
The sharp drop followed by a rebound—do you think the market is giving an opportunity? Wake up, this is the whales testing the waters, checking how much selling pressure remains, and shaking out retail investors.
The ETH long-short ratio tells the story: 65.79% are long accounts, only 34.21% are short. When the price dropped near 2500, retail investors thought it was cheap and rushed to go long. But the market is counterintuitive; the more unified retail investors are, the less likely the big players will push up. This 65% bulls are ready fuel; if they don't get burned out, the market won't bottom.
On-chain data isn't optimistic either: ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $542 million last week, with BlackRock alone withdrawing $477 million; Ethereum Foundation-related wallets transferred 4393 ETH to exchanges, and F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun also moved 2160 ETH. Institutions are withdrawing, whales are running, and buying power has long dried up.
Grinding back and forth around 2500, moving averages all pressing overhead, each rebound weaker than the last. This kind of exhaustion will most likely end with a big bearish candle smashing through 2400. If retail investors don't despair, the real bottom won't appear.
Don't catch the falling knife, don't bottom-fish; going short with the trend is the hard truth.
How many more days do you think this 65% bulls can hold on?

#BTC与ETH现货ETF同步流出，机构需求转弱了吗？
#9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息
⚠️ Personal review, not investment advice.The market suddenly quieted down, and no one is willing to take the first step. Do you feel the same way, where the red light hasn't turned green yet, but your foot is already pulled back? Last night, staring at the screen, BTC 83406, ETH 2550, SOL 111, XAUT 4171, all in red. But what really made me stop wasn't the candlestick chart, it was three things pulling at the back simultaneously. The first is geopolitics and oil prices. The Strait of Hormuz is restricted, pipelines attacked, pushing oil prices up, and the G7 released 100 million barrels from reserves to suppress prices. Gold has safe-haven properties, but with the US dollar strengthening and US Treasury yields high, the rise is being suppressed. XAUT is tugging back and forth around 4171, holding steady but unable to break out. This stalemate itself indicates that safe-haven funds aren't that confident either. The second is inflation and interest rates, which is the real starting gun. CPI and PPI are about to be released. Core CPI at 0.2% means the Fed can remain patient; at 0.3%, there will be arguments again; at 0.4%, rate hike expectations will be repriced, and risk assets will come under pressure. The 10-year US Treasury yield is 5.36%, cash yields a steady 5% for one year, so who still wants to buy things that don't generate cash flow? This is a bit harsh, but it is the most real opposing force right now. The third is institutional funds, which determine the quality of the rebound. BTC ETF saw an outflow of 678 million in the first week, ETH had nine consecutive days of net outflows, and SOL ended 14 weeks of net inflows. These are not small numbers; they tell me that marginal buying is retreating, at least temporarily. I've noted the key positions:September CPI to be released tonight
The Federal Reserve may continue to raise interest rates!
At 20:30 tonight, the U.S. will release the September CPI data.
The market currently expects the September CPI to rise 3.6% year-on-year, higher than the previous 3.4%; core CPI is expected to rise 2.5% year-on-year, also higher than the previous 2.4%.
Cleveland Fed President Harker recently emphasized again that to bring inflation back to the 2% target, the Federal Reserve still needs to raise interest rates further.
The biggest problem right now is energy prices. $CL oil prices remain high, which may cause overall inflation to accelerate again, and core inflation has not fully cooled down.
This CPI release is very important for BTC, $XAU gold, and U.S. stocks.
If the data exceeds expectations, the market may further increase bets on a rate hike in December, and risk assets will remain under short-term pressure.
But I do not intend to panic sell before the data is released. Recent rate hike expectations have repeatedly affected the market. Tonight, besides watching the CPI itself, it is more important to see if $BTC can hold the lows of the past few days after the data release. $BTC and $ETH spot ETFs are simultaneously flowing out
Are institutional funds retreating?
The crypto market has been continuously declining recently, and ETF funds have also started to show significant changes.
According to Farside data, on October 7, the US Bitcoin spot ETF had a single-day net outflow of $484.9 million, and on October 8, it continued to flow out $244.1 million.
On October 12, the Bitcoin ETF again had a net outflow of $65.4 million. The Ethereum ETF had a net outflow of about $85.4 million on the same day, totaling approximately $150.8 million in outflows for both.
Previously, the market regarded spot ETFs as the most important incremental source of funds for this bull market, but recent data shows that institutional funds are also affected by the macro environment.
Especially with the Federal Reserve reconsidering interest rate hikes and the dollar and US Treasury yields remaining high, it is not surprising that funds temporarily leave high-volatility assets.
However, continuous outflows do not mean that institutions have completely abandoned the crypto market.
What I care more about is whether ETF funds can turn positive again after BTC prices stabilize. If prices rebound but funds continue to flow out, the sustainability of such a rebound needs to be questioned.$ETH leads the mainstream, with money flowing into the Ethereum ecosystem. $BTC is currently priced at $83,387, up 2.52% in 24 hours; $ETH rose 3.53% to $2,506.47, with a turnover of 3.95%, more than twice BTC's 1.82%. On the gainers list, $OP rose 24.43% with a turnover of 56.88%, ZK rose 12.21% with a turnover of 37.81%, and Ethereum Layer 2 saw volume increase on the same day.
The breadth of the rebound is not yet sufficient. The total market cap is $2.83 trillion, down 1.12% in 24 hours, with the deepest decline only -10.04%, and gains concentrated in a few coins. $BAT rose 27.72%, but the funding rate is -0.37%, indicating shorts are adding positions as prices rise; rallies under negative funding rates are mostly followed by pullbacks. BLUR's funding rate is -1.04%.
In the next 48 hours, Ethereum ecosystem is expected to outperform the broader market. Two key thresholds: if ETH's 24-hour gain falls below BTC's, this line breaks; and only when total market cap change turns positive from -1.12% can a full rebound be considered.On October 13, the US stock market experienced another trading day that appeared calm on the surface but was turbulent underneath. The S&P 500 barely moved, but chips and banks held the market down, with trading focused on "whether earnings can continue to support the highs" rather than the direction itself. The S&P 500 closed at 7805.45, down 0.02%; the Dow Jones at 51670.10, down 0.35%; and the Nasdaq at 27204.38, down 0.15%. It was less than 0.2% away from the record high of 7818.93 on October 6. On the surface, it was a slight decline, but in reality, it was a pullback after wide fluctuations—the Dow once surged several hundred points intraday but was ultimately pushed back down. The bank earnings season officially began, with the result being "good news can't be sold." Goldman Sachs exceeded expectations, but its stock price barely moved; JPMorgan Chase had a rare miss, falling nearly 1%; Wells Fargo's net interest income fell short of expectations, dropping about 3%; Citigroup, despite posting its best third-quarter revenue in ten years, saw its stock fall over 5%. The earnings themselves were not bad, but the market had already priced in "stability," lacking a narrative of growth exceeding expectations. More notably, the chip sector declined. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell for the fifth consecutive day, with Micron down nearly 4% and Applied Materials down nearly 7%. The catalyst was progress by China's ChangXin Memory in next-generation storage architecture, combined with Broadcom's CEO's earlier comment that AI capital spending is "like a casino." Storage and equipment stocks led the decline, holding the Nasdaq down. The AI theme has risen significantly this year, and the market is becoming sensitive to "how much more it can rise" rather than simply looking at demand. Sector-wise, energy and communication services strengthened, partially offsetting the declines.【 $BTC market dominance stands above 60% again, altcoins are drained before they even recover 】
Bitcoin's market dominance has climbed back above 60%, but don't rush to celebrate BTC's bull return. On October 13, data from different platforms showed BTC dominance around 59.7% to 60.4%, while the total market cap shrank about 2.8% in 24 hours. This looks more like altcoins have fallen harder than BTC, so BTC passively gained a larger market share.
Capital hasn't signaled a full-scale attack either. On October 12, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of $65.4 million, indicating institutional buying hasn't yet returned to take over. Current funds prefer holding BTC rather than gambling on highly volatile altcoins.
I tend to believe that in the short term, BTC still has the upper hand while altcoins remain under pressure. Market dominance breaking 60% is not the start of an alt season; rather, it shows risk appetite hasn't recovered yet. However, if BTC stabilizes and rises, market dominance then falls back, and altcoins start to rally broadly, that would be a signal of capital diffusion. Otherwise, don't just look at BTC's rebound and assume all coins will take off with it.#After the Unichain handover, UNI enters the expected game phase
1.2 years, this Uniswap self-developed L2 completes its lifecycle and is handed over to Optimism for operation, marking the project's contraction of its front and refocusing on the DEX core business. This phase is usually accompanied by a market narrative decline, continuously weak funding rates, a slow decrease in total holdings, and holders no longer pricing based on new chain stories but relying on the protocol's trading volume and fee switch's long-term expectations for judgment.
The protocol's trading volume remains high, but token holders cannot share cash flow, and the fee switch has been undecided for many years. Previously, Unichain was the market's core incremental narrative; after the narrative fades, the target can only rely on periodic capital pulses, with the market often falling silent again after rebounds.
The core constraint of this round of the market is not the on-chain trading scale but the regulatory definition of the fee switch. Before the rules are implemented, light holdings face limited pressure, while heavy long-term holdings are prone to continuous losses. The signal for phase transition comes from the regulatory definition related to the fee switch. The most worth-watching price now is 7 dollars.
$UNI $BTC $ETH $SOL Win rate is only 40%, yet earned 4.78 million
Just reviewed BitLangLang's 4804 trades from May 2022 to June 2024. Three numbers defy common sense.
1. Win rate is only 40%
1964 profitable trades, 2803 losing trades — 839 more losses.
But he still made money: average profit 5008, average loss 1534, profit-loss ratio 3.27.
Making money relies not on win rate, but on odds.
2. 42% of trades don't last more than 5 minutes
2030 trades were cut within 5 minutes, 77% didn't survive 30 minutes.
Median holding time: 7 minutes.
3. Almost all his money was earned from 54 trades
Grouped by holding time:
· 4 to 24 hours: 256 trades, gross profit 1.749 million
· Over 1 day: 54 trades, gross profit 2.539 million
· While 2030 trades within 5 minutes only earned 3162 USD combined
54 trades account for only 1.1%, yet contributed 45.9% of the profit.
His most traded assets are $BTC (1036 trades), $ETH (404 trades), $PEPE (255 trades).
Net profit of 4.786 million over two years, these three numbers actually tell the same story
This is not luck, it's discipline. Cut losses quickly, hold on when needed, let the odds work for you.ETH shows a "weak rebound, underperforming BTC" pattern today, currently trading around 2,500–2,520 USD, basically flat or slightly up in 24 hours, but down about 6.4% for the week.
The core issue is the absence of institutional demand. The US spot ETH ETF has seen net outflows for 10 consecutive trading days, with a cumulative withdrawal exceeding 780 million USD, led mainly by BlackRock's ETHA. This means the rebound lacks institutional buying support. Compared to BTC's performance in the same period, ETH is clearly weaker—while BTC rose about 1.35% that day, ETH actually declined.
Positive changes have appeared in the derivatives market. Open interest has dropped 15.9% over 5 days, reducing long crowding; funding rates are near zero, indicating a thorough leverage cleanup and lowering the risk of further sharp declines. However, the cost is a corresponding weakening of rebound momentum, with the market entering a "no leverage, no inflow" quiet state.
Key levels: The 2,400 USD support below has been repeatedly tested since March and is pivotal; yesterday's intraday dip to this area quickly rebounded. The 2,520–2,600 USD range above forms a short-term resistance band. ETH/BTC has shown oversold signals but has not yet confirmed a reversal. Tonight's CPI data is the core variable determining direction; if inflation exceeds expectations, ETH may retest the 2,400 level again. #97200, The market is betting on a continued delay in easing expectations
The current mainstream consensus believes that the market's fluctuation is just a brief pause, and a rebound will start once easing is implemented. However, an easily overlooked point is that the initiative in the market does not lie in the sector itself, but in the continuously fluctuating liquidity expectations. Long-term U.S. Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar remain strong, while inflation and employment data keep revising down rate cut expectations, suppressing overall risk appetite.
If initial jobless claims and PCE continue to show economic resilience, the market will further delay easing pricing; only when inflation and demand weaken significantly will growth assets see a rebound window. All cryptocurrencies are fluctuating within a range, and the rebound lacks sustained incremental funds, as capital waits for macro results to materialize.
There is no need to heavily bet on a single direction at once; priority should be given to controlling drawdowns. In the market, patience and risk control are far more valuable than being right in a single judgment. The market is like a wilderness waiting for the wind; without signals, do not set out rashly.
$BTC $ETH $SOL $DOGE has a rarely mentioned flaw: with a market cap of over 13 billion, ranking in the top ten, 70% of its total trading volume is concentrated in just two exchanges, with Binance alone accounting for more than one-third.
Among large market cap coins, this level of concentration is an anomaly. Normally, the larger the market cap, the more dispersed the market makers are, with liquidity spread across dozens of platforms. DOGE is the opposite — it looks like a big market, but the actual buy and sell orders are thin and concentrated in just a few pools. This is no coincidence; it shows that market makers are unwilling to spread their inventory to long-tail platforms because, apart from those few, there’s hardly any trading activity elsewhere.
The consequence is straightforward. When the market is stable, the difference isn’t noticeable, but once the order books of the leading exchanges thin out, DOGE’s slippage becomes much worse compared to mainstream coins with similar market caps. You might think you’re buying a highly liquid leader, but in reality, you’re buying the depth of just a couple of exchanges.
Looking at the bigger picture: it has dropped 60% over the year, from 0.11 to 0.084 in the past month, which is exactly the lower boundary of the 30-day range. The meme sector’s overall hype has cooled this year, and DOGE, as the pioneer, has already told its story once; the new narrative to take over hasn’t arrived yet.
0.08 is a key round number and the level repeatedly tested during this decline; 0.09 above is a barrier. Until trading volume outside these two exchanges truly grows, its price elasticity will have to be discounted. The US is about to release the September CPI data, and I've heard there might be another rate hike this year. It's no wonder the crypto prices can't go up!😩
It's making it hard to even get a good night's sleep! When interest rates are high, buying government bonds guarantees steady returns, so who would want to throw money into non-yielding Bitcoin?🤔️
$BTC is currently holding the key level of 81,000, consolidating between 80,000 and 85,000 for now.
Since October, ETFs have seen continuous net outflows, does this mean institutions are also pulling out?🤔️
$ETH is weaker than Bitcoin, hovering around 2,500, also in a volatile consolidation phase, with ETFs flowing out as well, which is quite frustrating.
$SOL has fallen even harder, dropping from 120 down to around 107, a weekly decline of over 10%, ending a streak of 14 consecutive weeks of ETF net inflows, the performance is indeed not looking good.
The crypto market really needs incremental capital inflows to usher in a true bull market.
Given the current situation, a big rally is unlikely in the short term! #9月CPI公布在即，哈玛克称仍需进一步加息 $BTC Long positions are twice as many as short positions
On the same chart, two groups stand opposite each other.
Longs have piled up $187 million, shorts only $98 million.
How is this number calculated: the long-short difference is close to $90 million, deducing from this, longs are nearly twice the shorts.
Who is placing orders here: longs have an unrealized profit of $18.15 million, shorts an unrealized loss of $9.75 million.
The losing side is not because of wrong direction, but because their position size is smaller than the opposite side.
In 30 minutes, sell orders total $51.63 million, buy orders $19.03 million.
The selling pressure is not new shorts entering, but longs converting profits into cash.
Once profit-taking starts, with every step the price moves down, more longs want to exit.
When many run, a stampede on themselves occurs.
