Bitcoin fell below the low from four hours ago, with 82,000 as a key defense line. Once the physical price breaks below, the uptrend is declared over, and any rebound is a shorting opportunity.
Macroeconomic pressure continues to mount: The probability of a Fed rate hike in October has surged to 69.7%, and 54.8% in December, with the ECB and BoJ tightening simultaneously. Spot demand is negative at -174,000 coins, and prices are solely supported by ETF inflows. Geopolitical risks remain unresolved, oil prices are high, US Treasury yields are soaring, and gold keeps falling—how can Bitcoin remain unscathed?
Unless there is a massive volume surge to firmly hold above 91,000 next month, the so-called "bull comeback" is just an illusion amid the interest rate hike wave.

Do not overcomplicate HTF positioning. There is still a lot of money to be made on the move towards 126K, as long as you are not an overleveraged gambler.Before the double thunder strikes on Friday, BTC is holding its breath
This Friday, Nonfarm Payrolls and PCE collide on the same day. Whether there will be a rate hike in October all depends on this tremor.
At the market betting table, chips on both sides are piling up higher and higher. Fed officials are taking turns hawkish; Barkin bluntly says 60% of PCE components are still above 3%, and the New York Fed President is even more straightforward—another hike before year-end is reasonable. The swap market once priced a 70% chance of a rate hike in October. UBS, however, publicly disagrees: the annual revision of core PCE should be lowered by 0.2 percentage points, and after the December hike, the Fed should stop.
One side bets on continuation, the other on the peak. The cards are dealt on Friday.
BTC’s reaction is the most honest: 84000 has been flat for a whole week, with daily volatility under two thousand dollars. It’s not lying flat, it’s holding its breath. Before the data drops, whoever moves first gets hit first; last time, a single candlestick around the PCE wiped out a batch of traders.
My strategy is one word: wait. If inflation softens, all assets priced for continuous rate hikes must be revalued—gold, US bonds, altcoins all reshuffle their rankings; if inflation stays hard, UBS admits its mistake, and the bears charge again. Whether up or down, there will be a market—no need to rush.
Let the data decide the direction; only take trades after the data lands, no guessing.
See you Friday.

#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 #BTC现货ETF周流入创近一年新高 7000 RWAs as a foundation, yet ARB is falling?
ARB is playing out a "divergence between fundamentals and token price."
Data doesn't lie: Arbitrum One has launched over 7,000 Real-World Assets (RWA), with a total value of about $1.03 billion, leading the RWA track ahead of Base and Ethereum mainnet.
Even more impressive is its "assets": the DAO treasury holds 16 million ETH, TVL reaches $1.42 billion, and L2 market share at 37.1% has reclaimed first place. This setup is more than enough to weather the bear market.
But ironically, the token price has dropped 2.4% over the past 7 days.
This indicates the market is no longer satisfied with the "pure governance token" narrative and is waiting for more direct value capture mechanisms—such as fee dividends or buyback and burn.
Fundamentals are the fuel for a slow bull market, but the token price needs a catalyst. When everyone understands the data, it often marks the beginning of value return.
Do you think $ARB will be the first to solve the token value capture issue?
⚠️ This is not investment advice; contract risks are significant.Something interesting is happening with Ethereum: exchange balances are getting thinner, large buyers appear to be accumulating, yet price is still moving sideways. Only around **3.49% of total ETH supply** is reportedly sitting on exchanges, a historical low. Since June, another roughly **1.16% of supply has reportedly left exchanges**.

They launched a Security Program, directly providing smart contract audit subsidies to projects on the testnet, mainnet, cross-chain migration, and Orbit chain.
This move is brilliant.
Recently, Bitget's hack has caused widespread panic; security is currently the biggest pain point for project teams.
At this moment, Arbitrum is spending money to backstop development teams, clearly trying to aggressively attract top developers and consolidate its position as the L2 leader.
With the ecosystem fundamentals improving, ARB naturally has speculation expectations. But I still won't blindly chase the highs.
Right now, the market is stagnant; the main players might use this good news to push a big bullish candle, but sustainability depends on new capital inflows. Many people are still expecting the market to continue its upward momentum, but the market rhythm has quietly changed. Looking back at this period, the price initially kept falling, hitting a low of 82500 before stopping the decline. After stabilizing, it saw a rapid rebound, pushing the market up to a high of 84966. After reaching this high, the bullish momentum began to weaken, and the market stopped advancing, entering a phase of oscillation and adjustment. The price gradually fell back to around 83871, fluctuating within the Bollinger Bands range. This wave is a recovery rebound after a major drop; after the surge, it entered a consolidation phase where bulls and bears are tugging.
After the market surged, it is clear that the bullish strength is continuously weakening, lacking sustained upward momentum and unable to open new upward space. The price started to fall after encountering resistance. Even though there was a rebound repair midway, the strength of this rebound was relatively weak, with persistent pressure above and gradually lower highs. Seeing this change in market structure, we adjusted our thinking from bullish to bearish. The rebound is merely a brief pause during the downtrend, not the start of a new upward wave. Going forward, focus on the upper resistance zone; as long as the rebound cannot hold above the resistance, the market will continue to test lower support. Operations should wait for the rebound to face pressure before considering positioning.
Short BTC near 84000, target 82000
Short ETH near 2700, target 2600 #This week faces key Nonfarm and PCE data $BTC $ETH Small-cap rotation enters pressure test: $HYPE, $CORE, $ARB three-line observation
Small-cap rotation has once again reached a critical range, with HYPE, RE, and ARB all approaching important thresholds. At this point, a momentary surge alone is not very meaningful; what really needs to be verified is whether the first pullback after a volume breakout can hold.
HYPE: 92–94 is the short-term defense zone. If the pullback does not break below and volume is released again, 98 can be observed first, with 100 still the core resistance. Only after effectively standing above 100 can 104–106 come into view; if 92 is lost, watch for a retracement extending to 88–90.
RE: Frequent turnover around 0.47, with support first at 0.463–0.465, then 0.455 below; resistance above at 0.477 and 0.484. If volume breaks through 0.484, 0.50 is the next target; if it falls below 0.455, this rebound structure will clearly weaken.
ARB: After a low-level rebound, whether 0.18 can hold is key in the short term. Support is at 0.172–0.175, resistance first at 0.185, with strong pressure still at 0.20. After a volume breakout above 0.20, 0.215–0.22 can be targeted; if 0.172 is lost, beware of another bottom test.
Summary: HYPE looks at 100, RE at 0.484, ARB at 0.20. The closer to resistance, the more you cannot rely on just one bullish candle; the first pullback after a breakout is the true dividing line between strength and weakness. This article is for market record only.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 In just a few weeks, $BTC traders have flipped from an unrealized loss of about $8 billion to an unrealized profit of about $16 billion, marking the most intense "green recovery" in this cycle.
But don’t rush to call a bull market yet. The current price is still more than 30% below the all-time high. BTC’s all-time high was around $126,000, and now it’s about $84,000–$85,000. This means: the rebound is strong, but it hasn’t reached the stage of "full liberation."
Here comes the real question — will this $16 billion unrealized profit continue to roll into a bigger bubble, or will it quietly start to be cashed out? Short-term holder profit indicators have risen near cycle highs, and historically, such levels often come with profit-taking pressure; but the return of ETF funds indicates that buying demand still exists.
So, watch two things next:
First, whether the price can hold steady and break through the previous high area;
Second, whether there are clear signs on-chain of transfers into exchanges and profit-taking sales.
Unrealized profit is not the end; cashing out is the real answer.
Do you think this $16 billion will hold up or turn into selling pressure? Place your bet in the comments.
⚠️ This is not investment advice; contract trading carries significant risk.BTC spot flow still looks weak.
While price is holding around 83.5K, Aggregated Spot CVD has dropped to -1.021B.
Coinbase Premium is also in negative territory at -0.0182.

What is more worth comparing is the timeline: on September 17, CEO Goeckeler reduced his holdings by 33,841 shares according to the established 10b5-1 plan, cashing out about $53.27 million; five days later, Rosenblatt initiated coverage on SanDisk with a target price of $2400. One is an insider with operational details, the other is an analyst based on public financial reports and AI storage logic, and their directions are not consistent.
The macro environment is also tightening: the 10-year US Treasury yield once reached 5.23%, the highest since 2007; the market pricing for a Fed rate hike in October is close to 70%; oil prices are approaching $100, and inflation stickiness remains strong.
This is not to say that $2400 is definitely unattainable, but a reminder: when insiders are selling, macro interest rates are rising, and market sentiment is ignited by high target prices, don’t treat the story as certainty. The above is only personal observation and does not constitute investment advice. #本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 #美伊继续磋商霍尔木兹开放条件 $SOL & $SUI 🎯
Forgot I took these two shorts yesterday. BTC was pointing lower and some alts looked really clean.
Should've left a much bigger TP. Honestly didn't expect such a big move.
$SUI was a limit order in supply. Without my bearish BTC confirmation on Sunday, I wouldn't have taken either.
Setup was quite simple, we already deviated the range high, we had more liquidity at the lows and then i just entered on the supply retest targeting the range low.
Good way to start the week.$ETH ⚠️ FLUSH → RECLAIM WATCH 🧭 Bias: Higher TF = constructive Short TF = possible liquidity sweep No need to rush into full-size longs. 🐋 Long Cluster: $2,605–2,625 Major liquidation area ≈ $2,600 📉 LEVELS: $2,625 → first reaction $2,610 → support test $2,600 → key liquidation zone $2,570 → secondary support $2,550 → deeper flush zone 📈 BULL TRIGGER: Sweep below support ↓ Liquidations ↓ Fast reclaim $2,625–2,640 ↓ Volume expands ↓ $2,680+ becomes the next area to watThe market has opened, BTC is stuck at 83800, ETH at 2687, with neither a sharp surge nor a crash, it's completely stagnant.
I also think the culprit behind this suppressed market is the Bitget hack incident.
Hackers hold $350 million worth of ETH, which is like a guillotine hanging over everyone's head.
Everyone is now closely watching on-chain data, fearing the hackers might suddenly dump and cash out.
Big funds simply dare not push the market at this critical moment; any rally could become the opposing side to the hackers' sell-off.
But a crash is unlikely either, since the expectation of the protection fund's backstop exists, the negative news is already out in the open, and panic selling has mostly been released earlier.
So the current scenario is that both bulls and bears are enduring.
There is no momentum for a sharp rise, and no trigger for a sharp fall. 🌙 $ZEC EVENING WHALE UPDATE 🐋 Biggest Short: +4,200 ZEC added Total: ~31,800 ZEC Position: ~$50M Avg Entry: ~$1,487 Unrealized Loss: ~$1.35M 📊 QUICK READ: • Avg entry ↑ = position basis adjusted • Loss still relatively small vs position size • Fresh shorts = sellers remain active • Whale activity ≠ guaranteed market direction 🔑 LEVELS TO WATCH: $1,500–1,520 → key resistance zone Above $1,520 + volume → short pressure may increase Below $1,470 → downside momentum may return ⚠️ Macro data aheaBTC $985M Shorts Piled Above 88.5K: What Will Happen?
When BTC hits 88,500 and there are $985M shorts piled up there, the market is most likely to experience not calm, but a chain reaction triggered by shorts being forced to buy to close. A short squeeze essentially means the system automatically buys to close short positions; this passive buying pressure further pushes the price up, triggering liquidations of shorts at higher levels, creating a self-reinforcing short squeeze loop.
Historically, in late September when BTC broke through the 84K–86K range, it triggered over $1B in short liquidations and a rapid price surge—this mechanism was at work. So 90K is not out of reach—once the liquidation zone at 88.5K is ignited, the price could surge past it much faster than expected.
However, it’s important to be clear: the fuel for the short squeeze rally is the shorts themselves. After these shorts are cleared, whether BTC can hold 90K depends on whether spot buying keeps up. If ETFs and institutional funds don’t continue to support, the price may briefly break through and then quickly retrace.
ETH is similarly affected by this logic. Once BTC initiates a short squeeze, ETH often follows with amplified volatility, and both high-leverage longs and shorts can be liquidated.
Conclusion: Nearly $1B in shorts above 88.5K is a "powder keg" hanging over the shorts’ heads. Ignite it, and $90K comes quickly; but whether it can hold after the surge is the real question.
$BTC ⚡ #bitcoin ; 84.000 Even while the price was cruising in the 60s, we got stuck in the 83-85 range that we'd marked as a heavy liquidation zone—my expectation was exactly that it'd get stuck there. The same situation is playing out with Solana too; we'd flagged it at 120. Solana reached that zone, but aside from 1-2 breaches, it couldn't fully claim 120. Shifting to current data: Last week, when price was at 87,000, I shared with my x subscribers that the 81,500 zone is a heavy long entry areaActually, from the current situation, the outlook is bearish because the most important factor right now is the US Treasury yield. The sustained high level of US Treasury yields is suppressing the valuation of risk assets. One of the main reasons for the decline in BTC, ETH, including $ZEC, and tech stocks is this. Additionally, the large selling pressure near 90,000 on BTC indicates that the market is readjusting. The most important indicators to watch currently are the 10-year US Treasury yiThe ETF flow story is getting bigger than $BTC.
Last week, capital moved across four major crypto assets:
➤ $BTC: $2.39B
➤ $ETH: $689.88M
➤ $SOL: $188.22M
➤ $XRP: $75.59M
That’s roughly $3.35B in combined inflows.
The interesting part isn’t just the size.
It’s the spread.
Capital is no longer concentrating entirely around Bitcoin. Ethereum, Solana and XRP are also attracting meaningful demand.
If this trend continues, the bigger story may be broader crypto exposure, not simply another BTC$BTC is playing funny games again this NY-session. As a follow up on this mornings plan: we got that weak grind up that got taken out just now. I was looking to short towards this 82.6K low sweep because it was obvious engineered liquidity to pull in early buyers. Unfortunately my short-POI got frontran, but it might still be an opportunity. I opened a scalp-long after the sweep because I think we can mitigate a bit higher into my 84.2K POI. I doubt this was the low that's going to run for high$KII I've said for a long time that this KII is a highly controlled market. Now everyone can see it, right? Without any noise, it directly broke through 0.096 with a big bullish candle, rising over 11%. This is a typical "targeted explosion," specifically hunting short sellers.
Look closely at this trend: the previous sideways consolidation was lifeless, retail investors thought it was dragging on and started shorting or cutting losses, then the market makers instantly used minimal funds to spike it upward.
The 24-hour trading volume is less than 5 million USDT, the market is as light as a sheet of paper, so pulling it up is effortless. The shorts' stop-loss orders directly became fuel to push the price higher.
But I absolutely won't chase the rally now! If market makers can pull it up like this, they can just as quickly dump it down.
After this short squeeze finishes, retail investors who chase the highs and don't exit might soon get caught in a reverse long squeeze.
In a highly controlled market like this, any technical analysis is invalid. BTC OrderFlow 📈 This bounce looks anything but strong ⚠️ Earlier today, we discussed the fresh shorts that entered during Sunday’s selloff as BTC tested major support at Range High. As explained there was a good chance those shorts could get squeezed out before any sustained move lower. That’s exactly what I tried to position for at Range High. But today’s chop around support made it impossible for me to get a clean execution. So even though my overall read was right, I finished todays session Brockman went to the White House for a meeting, and I read this news three times.
It's not envy, but a chill down my spine.
I did market making on a small scale for half a year, and the thing I feared most was this kind of situation—the project team and regulators sitting at the same table, discussing not technology, but rules. Once the rules are implemented, market makers are the first to know, retail investors the last.
Last time something similar happened, I reduced my position in advance, and my peers laughed at me for a week, saying I overreacted. Later, when the regulatory details came out, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The lesson is simple: for these meetings, don't ask about bullish or bearish signals, ask who gets the information first.
Now I’m not guessing the direction; I’m just waiting to see if any specific compliance documents come out after the meeting. Without documents, it’s all smoke and mirrors.
Just watching the show first.

ETH managed to bounce from around $2,630 on the hourly chart, but the recovery is struggling to reclaim $2,700. Until that resistance is convincingly broken, the broader short-term structure still looks weak to me. Because of that, I’m treating aggressive longs as risky in the current setup and paying more attention to the prevailing trend rather than trying to catch every small rebound. If selling pressure continues, the next area I’m watI have been regularly investing in Bank of America (BAC, Bank of America, USA). $BTC Recently, after BAC's pullback, discussions about bank stocks in the market have clearly increased. Some worry about the decline in U.S. Treasury prices, some worry about high interest rates, and some even directly associate this situation with past bank runs. I think the biggest risk in investing in bank stocks is seeing a few keywords and then stringing together a whole set of logic. A drop in U.S. Treasuries does not mean banks will have problems. What really deserves study are interest rates, yield curves, net interest margins, deposit costs, and the banks' own capital conditions. Let me start with my conclusion: I have not changed my regular investment plan because of BAC's decline. The reason is simple: I am not buying BAC's stock price these days; I am buying the future profitability of a large commercial bank for many years to come. BAC is one of the largest banks in the U.S., with vast retail banking, credit card, commercial banking, wealth management, and investment banking businesses. The investment logic for such a company should not be based on "whether it will rise next month." What I care more about is: ten years from now, will ordinary Americans' wages, consumption, loans, credit cards, corporate financing, and wealth management still largely go through these large banks? If the answer is still yes, then BAC is worth long-term study. — Why does a drop in U.S. Treasuries affect banks? This question indeed needs serious consideration. Banks' balance sheets hold a large amount of bonds and other fixed income assets. SpaceX is not a meme.

This content signifies that the political achievements of the China-U.S. summit have officially begun to move towards concrete measures—good news!
There are a few points to note: the 90% mentioned in the text refers to the 90% share of the goods included in this $30 billion batch, not 90% of the total China-U.S. trade volume, so the data optimism should be downgraded.
Secondly, the $30 billion parity means $30 billion each from China and the U.S., totaling $60 billion, and coal is explicitly included in this $30 billion quota.
This announcement is an upgrade compared to the eight-point results of the China-U.S. summit a few days ago, but it cannot be said that the China-U.S. trade war is completely over. The $30 billion reciprocal tariff reductions are more like a test of preliminary trade rules, and the actual proportion of the total China-U.S. trade volume remains low.
Moreover, the complete product list, specific tariff rates, and official effective date have not yet been announced. Overall, China-U.S. trade relations are more optimistic than before, but there is still a long way to go before tariffs return to normal.
Most importantly, the new trade rules established with the Trump administration have limited timeliness, as Trump's term is only two more years. Short-term China-U.S. trade outlook is optimistic, but significant disputes remain in the medium to long term! #财报观察员：美光财报临近，AI存储需求成焦点 Those who laughed at me for having a small position, can you still laugh now?

Look at the current market: $SNDK rebounded from 1661 to 1716, which looks impressive, but the volume didn’t keep up, and the upper moving averages are still firmly pressing down.
This rebound is just a trap for those chasing longs; the downtrend hasn’t changed.
Looking bigger, October is the real main event.
The Federal Reserve’s October meeting is on the 27th to 28th, and CME data shows the probability of a rate hike has surged to 67.5%.
Goldman Sachs has also changed its stance, making an October rate hike the baseline scenario.
The 10-year US Treasury yield has already broken 5%, sharply increasing the denominator for tech stock valuations.
High-valuation names like SanDisk, propped up by AI narratives, are most sensitive to interest rates.
With rate hike expectations heating up, the semiconductor sector is already under pressure first; SanDisk cannot remain unaffected.
I’m holding my short position with a 91% floating profit, not in a hurry at all. The target is first 1000, if not 1000 then 1300.

ETH has now slipped toward **$2,650**, leaving the trade around **-55.75U**, with the displayed return near **-299.23%**. At 100x leverage, even a relatively small move can completely change the CRV Token Ecosystem Technical Application Value + veCRV High Lock-up Self-selection Ratio Analysis
(What you refer to as "high self-selection ratio" is the veCRV voting lock-up self-selection weighting mechanism within the industry, where veCRV holders independently vote to allocate the CRV inflation rewards distribution ratio among various liquidity pools, which is the famous Curve Gauge voting mechanism.)
I. Core CRV Ecosystem and Technical Application Value
1. Underlying StableSwap Technology, DeFi Stablecoin Trading Infrastructure
Curve pioneered the StableSwap algorithm, specially optimized for stablecoins and pegged assets (wBTC/renBTC), different from ordinary AMMs:
- Extremely low slippage for large trades, making it the preferred choice for institutions and protocols for large stablecoin exchanges;
- After V2 upgrade, supports correlated asset trading, no longer limited to stablecoins, expanding asset boundaries;
- It is the foundational base of the entire DeFi Lego, with many protocols like Aave, Frax, Yearn relying on Curve's deep liquidity, serving as the liquidity hub for DeFi stable assets.
2. Two Core Products: Trading Pools + crvUSD Stablecoin, Unlocking Application Potential
1) Trading Pool Business: Continuously generates trading fees, 50% of fees are distributed to veCRV locked holders, enabling the protocol to capture real cash flow.
2) crvUSD: Curve's native decentralized over-collateralized stablecoin, equipped with LLAMMA dynamic liquidation technology. Instead of one-time forced liquidation, collateral is gradually exchanged during market downturns, significantly reducing liquidation cascade risks. This is a technical innovation in DeFi lending, expanding CRV ecosystem application scenarios.
3. veCRV Lock-up Governance Model (Industry First, Widely Imitated by Many Projects)
CRV's biggest innovation: users lock CRV from 1 week up to 4 years to receive non-transferable veCRV. The longer the lock-up, the more veCRV received.
veCRV holders have three major rights:
① Self-selection voting: vote to decide which liquidity pool receives the weekly newly minted CRV inflation rewards (this is your "high self-selection ratio");
② Share 50% of platform trading fees;
③ LP mining yield boost, up to 2.5x reward increase.
This gave rise to Curve Wars: various stablecoin project teams spend money to bribe veCRV holders to win votes and secure more CRV inflation rewards for their pools, which is the continuous demand source for CRV tokens.
4. Multi-chain Ecosystem Expansion
Curve has deployed on multiple public chains + L2s. The Curve Lite solution can quickly build stablecoin trading pools on new chains, continuously expanding the ecosystem beyond Ethereum.
II. The Value Significance of High Self-selection Ratio (Gauge Voting Weight)
1. Power Given to Long-term Holders to Filter Long-term Value Funds
Self-selection weighting means rewards are not centrally allocated by project teams but decided by community votes of long-term locked CRV holders. Short-term speculators cannot manipulate reward distribution, incentivizing funds to flow to genuinely deep and high-volume quality pools.
2. Creates Continuous Buying Demand
Project teams wanting more CRV mining rewards must collect veCRV votes, either by buying and locking CRV or bribing veCRV holders, generating sustained buying pressure. This is a unique value support of CRV.
3. Passive Token Circulation Shrinkage
To gain voting rights, fee dividends, and mining boosts, CRV must be locked to generate veCRV. A large amount of CRV is locked in the market, reducing circulating sell pressure. The higher the lock-up ratio, the smaller the circulating supply.$BTC $ETH

$80K / $2.60K still decide if last week was real.Seeing roughly **$123M in unrealized profit** sitting on the long side can make it tempting to jump in and ride the momentum. But before chasing the move, look at where those early positions were built. Some of the older longs reportedly have an average cost around **$1,087**. That leaves a huge profit cushion between their entry and the current market price. That changes the risk completely. Early holders have plenty of room to absorb volatility or take profits.

People waiting for a sweep of the liquidity below 76k are delusional.
Every time BTC transitions from a bear market into a bull market or vice versa, there will be liquidity left untouched that will never get swept.

That is a huge imbalance.
Smart money may still be heavily positioned long, but fresh capital is leaning toward selling. When ETH hit around 2735 today, my first reaction was to chase long, but I held back. The plan was simple: 15 minutes of effective price above 2742, wait for a pullback to confirm before entering; If it doesn't go up, keep waiting. Later, when the price really hit 2746, that moment is the easiest FOMO—"If I don't buy now, what if I wait for 2760?" " Still didn't chase. Missing out won't cause losses; wrong positions will. Only after the price returns to around 2738 and the structure is confirmed will I consider entering. First, confirm 2724 is the expiration level, then reverse the position based on the maximum loss, rather than deciding how big to open and forcing a stop-loss first. After entering, the price kept grinding near cost. In the past, I was either afraid of pullbacks and exited early, or thought the price was cheap and wanted to add to my position. I didn't do any of it today. Because the market has no obligation to rise immediately after I open a position. As long as the structure hasn't failed, my discomfort is not a reason to close my position; The market hasn't further proven I was right, nor is there a reason to add to my position. The biggest gain today wasn't how much I earned, but rather: I didn't chase when I wanted to, and didn't move when I wanted to move wildly. The longer I trade, the harder I realize is that the hardest part isn't predicting the next candlestick, but — you could have pressed that button, but now you know you shouldn't.The $ZEC position is a **50x full-size long**, entered around $1,602. With the price now near $1,575, the trade is showing roughly **-32.55U**, or around **-82.59%** on the position. What makes it even more painful is that ZEC had already made me money before. This time I decided to hold on, and the market immediately reminded me who was in charge. I thought we had a good relationship… apparently it was a trap. 😭 Then there’s $RAY. I opened a **10x full-size short around $1.95**, but instead ofA few posts ago, I was still talking about holding $BTC toward $90K. But this morning, the market started looking different, so I decided not to stubbornly stick with the original plan. I closed my long positions and flipped short. Looking back, that decision probably saved me from getting liquidated. Later in the afternoon, I switched back again and re-entered longs on $ETH and $ZEC. Both positions eventually reached take-profit, so even though I may have missed part of the upside, I managed toLast Thursday pierced through 83,000 to wash out longs, but this time the nature is different. After BTC consolidated sideways for three days, today's upward attack failed, falling back below 83,000 again. This is a secondary retest after the breakout failure; if the close recovers, the range-bound view remains.
The funding situation is not bad; ETFs continue to see inflows overall. Institutions are buying, but prices have not hit new highs, indicating that selling pressure above is still being digested, which is also related to institutional portfolio adjustments at the quarter-end. In the short term, focus on Wednesday's PCE and Friday's non-farm payroll data, as these two reports will directly determine macro sentiment and rate cut expectations.
BTC has nearly $100 million long liquidation liquidity near 81,000.
Support: 83,000, 82,000, 81,000-81,700
Resistance: 85,000, 87,000
View: 83,000 is key tonight; closing above it means range consolidation; if it continues to fail, first watch 82,000, then observe whether the institutional cost zone at 81,000-81,700 can provide support.
ETH has a large concentration of high-leverage long positions near 2,630, only about 1% away from the liquidation zone.
Support: 2,630, 2,600, 2,500
Resistance: 2,700, 2,800
View: Holding support means continued oscillation; breaking support may trigger chain liquidations and test 2,600.
SOL currently shows no obvious leverage crowding, trading around $118.
Support: 117.5, 115, 108-109
Resistance: 123-125
View: Above 117.5 is strong consolidation; if stabilized, there is still a chance to challenge 125.
