These two charts show the biggest liquidation pain points over a 48-hour period. One looks at the short positions above, the other at the long positions below. I'll break them down aligned for you all.
First, look at the short pain points above (green, shorts breaking upwards):
BTC current price 77123, with 49.69 million short positions pressured at 78040 above, distance +1.19%
ETH current price 2267, with 30.18 million short positions pressured at 2281 above, distance +0.6%
SOL current price 92.43, with 6.85 million short positions pressured at 92.93 above, distance +0.54%
Next, look at the long pain points below (red, longs breaking downwards):
BTC current price 77123, with 53.17 million long positions stacked at 76249 below, distance -1.13%
ETH current price 2267, with 25.56 million long positions stacked at 2234 below, distance -1.44%
SOL current price 92.43, with 4.91 million long positions stacked at 90.69 below, distance -1.88%
This "heavier chips below" structure indicates retail long positions are concentrated below. Once 76249 is broken, the concentrated long stop losses below will trigger, and the downward magnetic pull will be stronger than the upward.
Overall judgment: In the short term, ETH and SOL will first break some shorts upwards, while BTC needs caution—if it breaks below 76249, there is a risk of a stampede liquidation of 53.17 million long positions below causing a sharp drop. Avoid chasing in the middle range.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC $MU dropped from nearly $900 to 873, then after a volume surge decline, it only recovered a small portion, currently at 884.19, down 2.3% in 24 hours📉 The real focus isn't this lower shadow candle, but the recent full hour's 2.7% drop with trading volume 2.7 times that of the previous hour—when selling pressure accelerates, volume expands simultaneously. This combination usually indicates not a shakeout, but chip rotation. $900 still hovers above, and the rebound hasn't even recovered half of the lost ground, indicating bottom-fishing funds are only willing to buy at low levels, not chase highs. To judge if it stabilizes, the key is whether it can gradually reclaim the broken range, not just the color of a single candlestick. More intriguing are two "counterexamples" in the same market. $DOGE is at 0.07533, down only 0.6% in 24 hours, with active buying accounting for as much as 70.4% in the last two hours, yet the opening and closing prices barely moved, and the price is still some distance from the intraday high of 0.07634🐶 The buying intent and price outcome are clearly disconnected; this "buying a lot but not rising" divergence is more alarming than just looking at the buying ratio alone. $BICO shows another kind of weakness: at 0.01521, down 2.9% in 24 hours, it bounced back to 0.01534 but slid back near 0.01512, leaving no decent rebound high; only 49 trades in the last full hour, liquidity so thin that a few orders can move the price🪶 This looks more like low-level probing rather than a trend reversal; continuity in trading is far more important than occasional spikes. Looking at all three together, the market is currently in a "volumeMicroStrategy has started selling coins: The money used to repurchase its own stock is three times the amount spent on buying coins.
MicroStrategy's Q3 profit was $20.9 billion, a record. In the same financial report, it sold 5,552 bitcoins, receiving $349 million, paid $240 million in preferred stock dividends, and spent $109 million repurchasing its own preferred stock STRC. This year, it has sold about $432 million worth of coins, all to pay dividends and support the stock price.
The latest weekly 8-K report is even more straightforward: it spent $65.5 million to buy back 811 bitcoins, while in the same week it spent $208 million repurchasing STRC, more than three times the amount spent on coins; the $164 million raised from issuing new shares was only a small portion used to buy coins.
It currently holds 849,327 bitcoins, accounting for more than 4% of the total supply, and has about $4.9 billion in USD assets on the books, specifically reserved to cover dividends and interest, claiming it can last 3.4 years. However, the BTC Yield per share metric is -3.7% year-to-date: the company's coin holdings increased by 26%, but the number of coins per share held by shareholders is actually less than at the beginning of the year. The CFO who reported this financial statement resigned on November 5.
The person who shouted "never sell coins" for five years has started selling coins—not because the belief changed, but because the leverage machine has reached the stage of paying interest. Dividends must be paid monthly, preferred stock must be repurchased to support the price, and buying coins has become the third priority.
$BTCAfter closing all 50x short positions with profits, I agree with stopping, but whether it aligns with the main trend is still uncertain based on this record.
I follow three rules for trends: watch the price—single trade profit doesn't mean the downtrend is confirmed; watch the sentiment—without context, you can't firmly say it's following the trend; watch the risk—with 50x leverage, a roughly 2% adverse move can wipe out the initial margin, so taking profits and exiting timely makes sense.
The trend is the best friend; I won't take others' profits to confirm my own direction.How should one choose between $SNDK and $SKHYNIX in storage?
If I had to choose, at this stage I still lean towards shorting SanDisk, while Hynix seems less suitable for action.
The reason is that Hynix holds a special position in the entire storage industry chain, especially in the HBM business, where it has maintained a strong competitive advantage. Recently, market expectations for AI demand have also provided it with considerable support, and capital is willing to continue valuing it.$OKB 🔥The US midterm elections are approaching, BTC remains rock solid, but ETH hides greater uncertainties!
The core logic is simple: midterm elections do not change the big crypto trend, only short-term sentiment and regulatory pace.
For BTC, regulatory pressure is relatively minimal, and pricing power no longer depends on "who wins"—ETF fund flows and Federal Reserve interest rates are the real steering wheel. If the election outcome meets expectations, it means positive news is priced in, and the market will likely follow the old pattern of "buy the rumor, sell the fact," with a dip first.
ETH is completely different; it is a typical "regulatory sensitive asset." DeFi, staking, Layer 2, token classification—every aspect is exposed in the SEC and CFTC regulations. If the new Congress slows down the progress of the "Clear Act" and regulatory tone tightens, ETH’s volatility will be magnified many times over, with declines usually far exceeding BTC; conversely, if deregulation expectations return, ETH’s rebound elasticity will also be much stronger than BTC.
This time, watch three variables: whether the election results fully meet expectations—surprises are the real black swans; whether the new Congress can substantially advance crypto legislation—delays are short-term negatives, clarity is a mid-term positive; and the Federal Reserve’s future interest rate path—macro liquidity is the ultimate pricing anchor.
In summary: BTC watches liquidity, ETH watches regulatory sentiment. The election is just a catalyst, never the underlying logic. The pits created by sentiment crashes are precisely the best window for the next round of positioning.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH The essence of elections is to change the market's expectations on taxes, regulation, fiscal policy, and interest rate cuts. In the short term, the market first trades the "uncertainty premium," then prices in the results once they are finalized.
1. Republicans take both chambers (Red Wave)
- ✅ Positive: Traditional energy (oil, oil & gas), defense, banking, crypto-related stocks (expectation of relaxed regulation);
- ⚠️ Slightly negative: High tax-related sectors, some healthcare, expectations of reduced new energy subsidies.
2. Democrats take both chambers (Blue Wave)
- ✅ Positive: New energy, clean energy, healthcare and pharmaceutical companies;
- ⚠️ Slightly negative: Large tech giants (antitrust, computing power tax, expectation of tighter regulation), oil & gas;
- The market worries about tax increases, making the Nasdaq and large tech stocks prone to pressure.
3. Split Congress (most common scenario)
The two parties check each other, making it difficult to pass large-scale legislation. The market interprets this as "policy stability, fewer major moves." Historically, this scenario tends to be most favorable for the broader market, with the least pressure on tech stocks.
Additionally:
- If vote counting is delayed and disputes are significant, it will directly raise risk aversion: U.S. Treasuries and gold strengthen, stock market fluctuates;
- If market expectations are realized, "bad news is fully priced / good news is confirmed," it tends to lead to buying on expectations and selling on facts;
- Medium to long term: Regardless of who wins, historically, U.S. stocks tend to have above-average returns in the year following midterm elections, but this is a statistical pattern, not a guarantee.#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Binance's situation reversed again today, with North Korea personally stepping in to deny it.
The FBI named TraderTraitor (the group behind the 1.5 billion Bybit hack last year) for stealing 6.3 billion. Kim Yo-jong responded through the Korean Central News Agency, calling it "absurd rhetoric," and hinted that the real investigation should be on "who ends up with the most money after it's recovered"—almost implying Washington did it themselves.
But the blockchain doesn't lie. Elliptic counted, and there are still 3.24 billion lying in the attacker's wallets (mainly BTC and ETH). On Monday, a batch of BTC already entered a mixer; Chainalysis traced over 500 million first routed through TRON, then moved to Solana. The money is still moving, and the attackers haven't stopped.
The market is honest: BTC dropped 1.8% that day to 76,729, and the Fear & Greed Index fell from 37 to 26. More worth pondering than withdrawals: on the first day of reopening, net withdrawals were 3.64 billion, just over 2% of its managed assets. Binance covered 95% themselves and promised full compensation.
My view: short-term it's an emotional sell-off; long-term it's a major test of industry security. One reminder—where and how you store your coins might be more important than price fluctuations.
#Web3 #Binance #Bitcoin #CryptoSecurityCut open the sternum, suspend the pericardium. Don’t just stare at the price intraday chart; first look at the stroke volume of this heart — AMD's Q2 data center revenue grew 107% year-over-year, showing high dynamic circulation on the surface, but high output does not equal good perfusion. The real question is: can the deployment demand from cloud providers, as preload, be converted into measurable stroke volume through the Helios rack-level system, rather than just pushing up the heart rate. The Instinct AI chip acts like a positive inotropic drug, enhancing contractility in the short term; capital expenditure is like extracorporeal circulation perfusion pressure—if pulled too hard, myocardial oxygen consumption soars simultaneously. If revenue remains only as order electrophysiological signals and does not convert into free cash flow myocardial perfusion, that is an early angiogram of high-output, low-resistance heart failure—large vessels appear unobstructed, but microcirculation is already leaking. The linkage with XTSLA resembles peripheral perfusion: when core organ blood supply is insufficient, limbs compensate first by feeling cold; don’t mistake peripheral flushing for adequate cardiac output. For the Q3 report after market close on November 3, I only watch three monitoring indicators: whether the slope of data center revenue quarter-over-quarter matches the Helios rack delivery rhythm, whether cloud giants’ capital expenditure forms repeated shocks rather than a single defibrillation, and whether gross margin shows myocardial edema during volume expansion. The most dangerous lesion is not the slowdown in growth, but that growth masks the decline in ejection fraction per unit of computing power; by the time the ST segment is depressed enough to require open chest surgery, thrombosis has long been organized in valuation collaterals. If revenue after the earnings report cannot be realized as cash flow, that is an early ECG of high-output heart failure—the ST segment is already depressed, but no one is calling chest pain yet. #amdq3heliosrevenue The most dangerous moment on the chessboard is not when you're in check, but when you're counting your opponent's sacrificed pieces without realizing which diagonal they're truly aiming to lock down. Circle's Q3 report superficially looks like a "pawn chain advance" with USDC circulation expanding, but in essence, it's a midgame tactical puzzle — reserve income is the visible material advantage, while distribution costs are the cold move waiting in the hidden square to be exchanged.
I've played chess for thirty years, and the scenario I dislike most is when the opponent pushes a pawn to the sixth rank, seemingly unstoppable, but if you analyze carefully, every step weakens their own grid. Stablecoin payment expansion is that sixth-rank pawn. Volume grows, circulation expands, but can reserve income cover distribution costs? It's like gaining an extra half-piece in the midgame, but your king's wing shelter is breached by your own pawn. The word "profitability" to a chess player never means "how much you earned," but rather "can your piece activity translate into actual checkmating moves in the endgame?"
The linkage with $XPL is a matter of flank coordination. There's a hidden diagonal constraint between US stock token assets and the crypto stablecoin narrative. If Circle's reserve income is eaten up too much by distribution costs, that diagonal breaks, and the flank knights can't jump out; conversely, if profitability holds, it's not just defense but a row of heavy pieces buried on the seventh rank. The market is still in the layout phase; many rush to redeem tokens, equating circulation growth with value growth — a rookie mistake, mistaking the opponent's pawn move in front of the king as a kill opportunity, without realizing they've already sacrificed half a piece in the center waiting for you to take the bait.
I am used to calculating twenty moves ahead before placing a piece. The key to USDC is not the circulation curve but the ratio change between reserve income and distribution costs. If this ratio deteriorates, even the most beautiful payment expansion is fake, like having active pieces but failing to penetrate the king's castle, ultimately being counterattacked by a knight's return. If the ratio stabilizes or improves, that's the real spatial advantage — you don't rush to check, but every move compresses your opponent's options.
In the endgame, it's not about who has more pieces, but whose pawns can promote. Circle's Q3 isn't about growth stories, but whether profitability quality can promote. On the $XPL side, the linked diagonal has already lit up; it depends on whether you've calculated the opponent's response.
In this position, I choose to keep pressing, not redeeming tokens. #circleq3usdcgrowth#Strategy repurchase scale exceeds coin purchase by three times, treasury strategy shifts? $BTC $ETH Strategy repurchase scale exceeds coin purchase by three times, treasury strategy shifts? — The world's largest publicly listed Bitcoin company spent 3.2 times more on repurchasing preferred shares than on buying coins in the latest week, a rare scene in its "buy and hold" narrative. 【What happened this week】 According to Strategy's 8-K filing submitted on November 2, from October 26 to November 1, the company bought approximately 811 BTC for about $65.5 million at an average price of $80,846; meanwhile, it repurchased 2,092,035 STRC preferred shares for about $208.2 million, setting a new single-week repurchase record. As of November 1, Strategy held a total of 849,327 BTC with a cumulative cost of about $64.08 billion and an average cost of $75,451. 【Where the money comes from and goes】 This week's funds came from ATM issuance: selling about 1.179 million MSTR common shares, netting $164 million. Only about 40% of this ($65.5 million) was used to buy coins, while the remaining $98.5 million was transferred to the USD cash account. However, STRC repurchases spent $208 million, causing the flexible USD cash to drop from about $242 million to $133 million within a week, a decrease of about 45%. There is also about $4.79 billion in USD reserves specifically for paying preferred stock dividends and debt interest, with $43.4 million used this week to pay dividends.#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC
Historical data shows: BTC fell in the weeks following three midterm elections before rising a year later. The real risk lies in legislation—if the Democrats take the Senate, the chair of the banking committee will change, and the crypto-friendly CLARITY Act will basically have no chance in the next two years. Legislative expectations have cooled, but Bitcoin and stablecoins are only slightly affected, while DeFi and altcoins suffer more.[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
Why did Strategy suddenly stop buying coins and go crazy on buybacks? Is this treasury strategy about to change?
Pharaoh says directly, this is called "Big Brother repairing the city walls." Seller, that old fox, has finally started doing the math carefully!
First, look at how counterintuitive this move is. Strategy barely bought BTC last week, holding steady at about 847,000 coins. But then it turned around and spent over $140 million to buy back its own preferred shares (STRC), spending more than three times the amount it used to buy coins!
Why do this? Because the "issue new shares to buy coins" trick isn’t working for now. Previously, MSTR stock had a high premium, so Seller could issue shares with one hand and buy BTC with the other, perfectly arbitraging. Now? The stock premium (mNAV) has shrunk to about 1.2x, so issuing shares to buy coins severely dilutes existing shareholders’ equity. Therefore, buying back discounted preferred shares to stabilize the balance sheet and coin-per-share ratio is the current survival strategy.
What does this mean for BTC?
In the short term, it’s a draining effect. The biggest "coin-buying machine" has hit the brakes, removing one of the most stable incremental buy orders from the market, so short-term sentiment will definitely be suppressed.
But in the long term, it’s a shift from "mindless charging" to "careful calculation." Strategy hasn’t sold coins; it’s just changed its risk management approach. Once the premium recovers and funds are sufficient, Seller could restart sweeping up $BTC $SOL #Strategy回购规模超购币三倍，财库策略转向？ at any time Today is the crucial day for voting in the US midterm elections. Here's a breakdown of three different scenarios and their potential impacts on the crypto market.
First, the Republican Party holds both the House and Senate. The market generally interprets this as favorable for the crypto industry, expecting a looser regulatory environment and increased risk appetite for capital. BTC could have a chance to challenge resistance levels around 80000/82000.
Second, the Democratic Party takes both chambers. This outcome is somewhat bearish, with expectations of tighter regulations rising. The progress of crypto bills like CLARITY would face significant difficulties, and BTC risks pulling back to around 75000.
Third, and currently the most likely scenario, is a split Congress with different parties controlling each chamber. In this divided setup, policies are hard to implement quickly, limiting bearish impact. This would bring a mild corrective rebound, but the strength won't be very strong.
Of course, the market won't follow the script 100%. It's common for expectations to be priced in early or for reactions to reverse once news is finalized.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC The official account is still promoting today: Vote for SIP-6 to replace the Sei consensus with Autobahn and rush towards Sei Giga. The governance page has marked this as Passed, and the voting window has about three days left. The goal is ambitious: forty validators producing blocks in parallel, aiming for 200,000 TPS and 250 ms finality.
Passing the vote does not mean the mainnet has already switched engines. The official blog also clearly states: there will be a public testnet and multiple independent audits, first fully retiring SIP-3's Cosmos; the numbers tested internally cannot be directly taken as live throughput. Opponents will watch closely: no matter how high the theoretical TPS is, without applications and market depth, it’s just an idle metric.
First, treat the public testnet launch date and audit conclusions as the gatekeepers. If the voting window closes and the testnet is still not launched, or the spot price continuously falls below 0.04 without recovery, then consider this as a roadmap bonus, not as performance already realized.

#SEI #SeiGiga #cryptocurrency#Iran authorizes government negotiations, can the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz be accelerated? Iran has obtained negotiation authorization and, with Qatar's mediation, compressed the plan from a "seven-day plan" to a "two-day plan": the US side first fulfills its commitments, then the strait resumes navigation. This is a signal of phased easing and has directly driven a rapid decline in crude oil geopolitical premiums, causing oil prices to drop sharply in the short term. However, authorization does not mean an immediate agreement; the initiative in negotiations is now in the hands of the US side.
The biggest sticking point is the obvious gap in demands between the two sides. Iran requires the US to fulfill related compliance conditions, while there are internal resistances within the US and from Israel. Deep-rooted conflicts such as nuclear issues and regional confrontations have not disappeared. Even if a temporary arrangement is reached in the short term, it is more likely to be a phased limited navigation, making it difficult to return to full normalization in one step, with risks of reversals at any time.
On the market front, the market has already priced in easing expectations in advance. If the US side delays response or new military clashes occur, risk aversion sentiment will quickly rebound, pushing oil prices up again; if both sides smoothly complete the process and the strait reopens, oil prices will further digest geopolitical premiums, but OPEC+ production cuts and the global crude oil supply-demand structure will still provide bottom support. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $XAU
The bidirectional conditions given this morning at 3946~3977 were not met: the highest rebound was 3972, 0.5 short of entering the ambush zone; 3952 was broken but did not lead to a volume-supported close above 3964. The market moved on its own by 60 points without waiting for conditions.
At 11:00, a volume of 4.68 million contracts cut 3955 down to 3934, marking a breach. After that, nine consecutive 1H lows were progressively lower, and at 16:00, 4.6 million contracts pushed down to 3905 (24h low).
The sellers also started to ease off: at 17:00, only 3.12 million contracts lifted the price back to 3920, closing at 3919; at 18:00, 1.87 million; at 19:00, 1.63 million, with price ranging sideways between 3913~3920. At 20:00, only 97,000 contracts traded in those twenty minutes.
Current price is 3913.5, with MA20 at 3939.6 pressing down 26 points above, and only 9 points away from 3904.5; chasing shorts has no profit.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk) There's a detail that goes against common sense: 350,000 HYPE tokens, worth 30.57 million USD, took FalconX three days to move into Coinbase, not transferred all at once.
Isn't transferring supposed to be fast? Large amounts are different. Dumping it all into the exchange at once causes the order book to immediately turn sour, the price drops first, basically giving yourself a discount. Spreading it over three days, a bit each day, looks troublesome but is actually price protection.
So now when I see those "transfer into exchange" alerts on-chain, I first check how it's transferred. Slow transfers usually mean they're still waiting for buyers; transferring all at once means they really want to run. This $HYPE case belongs to the former. As for selling or not, the goods are already on the counter.The current price trend is very weak, but it is still at a very critical VAL, the daily EMA200, at the edge of the bull market support zone. There is a reasonable demand for a short-term rebound. However, this does not mean the downtrend has ended or that a confirmed upward trend has begun. After the price rebounds to a key resistance, if it falls back to the previous low, the short-term back-and-forth price fluctuations offer very little profit margin = hardly any money to be made. If repeated oscillations and declines occur here, it may form a converging pattern, with results likely to emerge after the mid-term, awaiting a breakout or breakdown for a rapid and significant one-sided market opportunity. If the bears want to continue their momentum, the price should not be able to retest the previous highs at 81967 / 82k. If it successfully returns there, the price may further advance. The short position at 84 has been held continuously while still looking for some long opportunities.
However, if risk assets generally come under pressure and the US dollar strengthens, and Bitcoin happens to break below 73,900—74,000, these two signals will form directional resonance, increasing the credibility of the breakout.
Conversely, if risk assets stabilize but Bitcoin still cannot reclaim 76,650, that indicates relative weakness but does not warrant an early declaration of a breakdown.
Therefore, the priority levels to watch next are:
74,000 → 76,400—77,300 → 79,200—79,900 → 81,900—82,400. Frequent fluctuations in the middle range suggest reducing trading; what truly deserves increased attention is an effective breakout below 74,000 or above 82,400. Going all in just because the treasury is increasing holdings? That's the dumbest kind of inertia.
Strategy acquired 65.5 million to secure 811 BTC, repurchased 208 million in preferred shares, with the repurchase scale crushing coin purchases.
The sector differentiation is obvious. Strive increased BTC holdings, financing through SATS preferred shares with a 15% annual yield. BitMine aggressively acquired 8,573 ETH, holding 6.06 million tokens. Metaplanet is repaying debt, raising the coin purchase budget to 212 million.
On one hand, hoarding coins; on the other, financing, controlling debt, and repurchasing.
ETH is the standard follower. When BTC plunges, its decline is amplified; during a rebound, it only passively follows without an independent main theme.
Retail investors only see "increased holdings" but miss capital costs and shareholder demands. The treasury is about capital operations, not bullish volunteers.
Institutions can endure cycles; your margin can't withstand deep corrections. Good news doesn't equal a signal to rally.
If you're betting on this treasury market, can you confidently explain your entry logic?

#Strategy回购规模超购币三倍，财库策略转向？ US midterm elections could become an important turning point for Bitcoin, but the real story goes beyond election-day headlines. There’s an interesting historical pattern worth watching. BTC gained 24.5% in the 12 months after the 2014 midterms, 44.9% after 2018, and 92.3% after 2022. Three examples don't guarantee a fourth rally, but they show why long-term investors are paying attention. This election also carries direct implications for crypto regulation. The CLARITY Act remains stuck in the Another quiet transfer appeared on-chain: FalconX moved a total of 350,000 HYPE tokens to Coinbase over three days, worth approximately $30.57 million.
First, distinguish the two roles. FalconX is the institutional custody and trading channel, while Coinbase is the venue where orders can be immediately placed and executed. Assets moving from the former to the latter change in nature from "being held" to "being sellable." This does not mean they have been sold yet, but the path to selling has been paved.
Now look at the rhythm of the numbers. 350,000 tokens, $30.57 million, three days—these three numbers together highlight that the key is not the total amount, but the "three days." Dumping 350,000 tokens into the exchange all at once would immediately disrupt the order book; spreading it over three days means each transaction is small enough to go unnoticed. Entering the exchange in batches usually indicates someone cares about the execution price rather than rushing to liquidate.
Should we panic? No need. Depositing into the exchange is just a preparatory move; the real price determinant is whether there are matching buy orders afterward. $HYPE and similar tokens typically have shallow liquidity; the same 350,000 tokens on $BTC wouldn’t even make a splash, but here it represents several days’ worth of trading volume. So the observation point is very specific: whether the spot trading volume of HYPE on Coinbase abnormally increases in the next few days, and whether these tokens are listed on the sell side or matched off-exchange directly.
One question remains: if the intention is truly to sell, why move the tokens slowly over three days instead of waiting for a good price and selling all at once? The answer might not be on-chain, but with the counterparty.$AMD AMD's earnings report will answer whether the issue lies in AI accelerator demand or revenue recognition pace? AMD will release its Q3 results after market close today, and the market will examine data center, AI accelerator orders, and gross margin guidance. If customer deployments ramp up in sync with supply and guidance is solid, the market share story strengthens. On the contrary, competition and export restrictions could shrink the addressable market; if order growth does not convert into revenue or gross margin is pressured, valuation may first pull back. The key focus is on management's commentary regarding next quarter's supply, customer concentration, and software ecosystem, rather than just comparing whether revenue beats expectations. For further confirmation, I will separate market expectations, revenue realization, and cash flow quality; at least two of these must align consistently over multiple subsequent reporting periods before adjusting the mid-term view. If there is only a one-time event or single-quarter fluctuation, valuation recovery still needs verification. #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？

The SEC just eased restrictions on governance tokens, Uniswap v4 now allows external trades to burn UNI, a one-time burn of 100 million tokens has been implemented, and CME has launched UNI futures — yet the price has dropped from $9 to $7.2, down 21% in 30 days. Just now, the $7.0-$7.2 range is repeatedly tested with lukewarm trading volume. Is this the last shakeout before all the good news is priced in, or are smart money quietly accumulating?
Let's look at the surface: a bunch of positive news, but the price is stuck on the ground.
The SEC's latest guidance clarifies that widely distributed governance tokens are generally not automatically considered securities just because they have voting rights — the regulatory sword hanging over UNI for years has finally been lifted. Uniswap v4 Aggregator Hooks launched, connecting 7 external liquidity sources, covering over 90% of DEX activity on Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain. External trades can now generate protocol fees and burn UNI. Along with the previous one-time burn of 100 million UNI and the ongoing fee switch.
But what about the price? It fell from above $9 to $7.2, down 21% in 30 days. The candlestick chart tells you: $7.0-$7.2 is a strong support tested multiple times, RSI is neutral at 45-55, MACD is weak, and moving averages are tangled. All indicators say one thing: it can't fall further, but no one dares to push it up.
First: Regulation has eased, but the market hasn't caught up yet.
Many people just skimmed the SEC staff guidance and moved on. Let me tell you how important it is:
In recent years, institutions avoided UNI mainly because of the question "Is this a security?" Now the SEC clearly states: widely distributed governance tokens are not automatically securities just because you have voting rights. In plain language: compliance departments can approve it now.
CME has launched UNI futures — this is not for retail traders, but for institutions to hedge and allocate. Ondo integrated tokenized stocks into Uniswap pools, and Robinhood Chain became one of the first partners of v4 hooks.
The same signal appeared with Bitcoin in 2020 — Grayscale kept buying, but the price didn’t rise. What happened later?
Second: UNI is no longer just an "air governance token," it’s quietly burning tokens.
Many still think of UNI as "just a governance token, no real use." Wake up.
After Uniswap v4 Aggregator Hooks launched, trades from external liquidity sources also generate protocol fees and contribute to UNI burn. Previously, only trades within Uniswap pools burned UNI; now even aggregated external trades burn tokens. This covers over 90% of DEX activity on Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain.
Plus, with the TJAR fee switch tool open and ongoing, the one-time treasury burn of 100 million UNI has been implemented.
Uniswap’s annualized fees approach $900 million, protocol revenue exceeds $70 million, and part of this revenue directly becomes UNI buy pressure and burn. You’re not buying just governance voting rights; you’re buying a real cash flow-driven deflationary asset.
The price is stuck at $7.2, but the fundamentals are already above $9. This is what we call an oversell.
Third: Technicals tell you $7.0 is an iron bottom.
The $7.0-$7.2 range has been repeatedly tested over the past month, each time met with buying support. Daily RSI is neutral at 45-55, no oversold or overbought — a typical accumulation pattern, not a crash.
Resistance above is at $7.3-$7.5, then $7.8-$8.0. Support below is strong at $7.0, secondary support at $6.88-$6.9, and iron bottom at $6.75-$6.8.
On the weekly chart, the rebound structure from the low hasn’t been completely broken. $7.5 is the lifeline — if it holds above, $8-$9 opens up; if not, it will continue to consolidate between $7.0-$7.5.
Bull vs. Bear, you decide:
On one side:
- SEC regulatory easing removes institutional compliance barriers
- v4 Aggregator Hooks enable external trades to burn UNI
- One-time burn of 100 million tokens implemented, fee switch ongoing
- CME launched UNI futures, Ondo integrated tokenized stocks
- DEX market share 40%, TVL $3.5 billion, annualized fees $900 million
- $7.0-$7.2 strong support tested multiple times
On the other side:
- 21% drop in 30 days, cautious market sentiment after falling from $9
- Macro high interest rate pressure, Fear & Greed index low
- BTC hovering at $64,000; if it falls below $60,000 UNI will follow
- Failed three attempts to break $7.5, short-term selling pressure remains
- Moderate volume, no breakout signal
Trading strategy:
Short-term traders:
Buy lightly in batches at $7.0-$7.1, stop loss at $6.75-$6.8. Take half profits at $7.4-$7.5, add positions if it breaks $7.5 targeting $8.0-$8.5. Around $7.4-$7.5, reduce positions or lightly short to hedge, stop loss at $7.7. High sell low buy within the range, leverage no more than 5-10x.
Swing traders:
Wait for daily close with volume above $7.5 before entering, stop loss at $7.2, target $8.0-$8.5. If BTC stabilizes and protocol revenue continues to grow, chase directly. If it breaks below $6.8 and confirms, lightly short with stop loss at $7.1, target $6.5-$6.3.
Long-term believers:
Dollar-cost average below $7.0 with eyes closed. UNI dropped from $9 to $7.2, down 21%, but fundamentals are stronger than ever — regulatory easing, v4 hooks, CME futures, Ondo integration, each is solid. Target $10-$13 by end of 2026, betting on clear DeFi regulation and positive fee burn cycle. But remember — only add after a real breakout and hold above $7.5.
UNI now is like UNI at the end of 2020 —
99% thought "governance tokens have no value," but once the fee switch turned on, it went from $2 to $45.
$BTC $ETH $UNI $ETH 2264 is stubbornly hovering around the middle Bollinger band, $ZEC 1179 funding rate is already 0.01, and you're still chasing longs? I'm holding my short orders for now.
ETH has been stuck at 2264 all day, capped by the middle Bollinger band at 2257 and just can't break through. MA7 and MA25 are tightly clustered at 2262, the moving averages twisted like a braid, no clear direction at all. RSI at 55.7 is neither high nor low, this kind of position is the most annoying. If it breaks above 2270, I'll accept it trying for 2304; if it falls below the lower band at 2244, then it will head to 2237. Everything in between is just noise, don't force trades.
I'm really annoyed with ZEC, it dropped 5.75% but is still hanging just below the upper Bollinger band at 1182, funding rate maxed at 0.01%. The bulls are squeezed into this mess and still dare to chase? RSI is 58.4, price is just a breath away from MA25 at 1170, chasing longs is just carrying the dealer's bags. My short order is already placed above 1180, stop loss set decently at 1200, target first at the middle band 1149, if broken then look at 1117. BTC 77040 is pressed down near MA25 at 77084, funding rate also 0.01%. If BTC can't hold 77084, all altcoins are just paper tigers.
I have a light short position near 2260 on ETH, stop loss at 2275, plan to take a quick $20 profit and run. Hold your ZEC shorts steady, don't get scared out by spikes. With funding rates maxed and a slow decline, bulls won't die and the market won't rise. I'm firmly on the short side here.Below $XRP 1.25, there are tens of millions of dollars in spot buy orders supporting it; any slight dip is instantly eaten up completely.
Whales now control about 68.5% of the supply, and big holders are all pretending to be inactive and locking their positions.
Meanwhile, shorts are still paying interest to hold on stubbornly at this level.
The spot buying pressure is so strong, it's as if they think their short squeeze isn't painful enough. If these shorts are pushed a bit, it will trigger a chain of liquidations, providing ready fuel for a price rally.

👇$HYPE
350,000 HYPE tokens, all moved to Coinbase in three days. At 84.5 each, that's about 29.6 million USD.
That's not a small amount. The total contract holdings of HYPE across the network are only 106 million USD, so 350,000 tokens account for 28%. For other coins, an inflow of this scale to an exchange would have crashed the price.
HYPE only dropped 1.5% today. The 24-hour low was 82.6, but it was quickly bought back. The fee rate is still hanging at the +0.01% baseline, with bulls still paying. At 5 PM, there was a volume of 1.43 million tokens traded in one hour, the strongest of the day, and the price did not drop.
I just love seeing this kind of stubborn market action. The movement of tokens is large, but the buyers remain calm.
My interpretation is: FalconX is the custody and market-making channel; transferring to the exchange could mean selling, or it could be for margin or market-making inventory. The 350,000 tokens over three days is a steady pace, not a one-time dump.
If they really wanted to dump, they wouldn't move slowly while the fee rate is still positive. This looks more like distributing inventory.
Who they are distributing to, I can't guess.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ $OKB's capital siding speed is much faster than expected.
Binance saw an outflow of over 9 billion USD in 7 days, while OKX has been continuously experiencing net inflows.
People verbally claim they don't trust CEX, but their wallets are honest, all moving towards places with higher risk-hedging attributes.
As long as liquidity settles, this independent rally of OKB is no coincidence.
With this level of support, the bears simply can't crush it.

👇$SNDK
$8.5 trillion data center investment, SanDisk token dropped 6 points today. These two numbers are close, my first reaction is that the market doesn't trust that research report.
I verified the Goldman Sachs report: in the next five years, global new capacity will increase by 170GW, calculated at $50 billion per GW, resulting in $8.5 trillion. By 2030, global capacity is adjusted from 217GW to 273GW, a compound annual growth rate of 21%. The numbers look very good.
The token side doesn't agree. In 24 hours, it fell from 1176 to 1069, current price 1102, down 6.3%, with a volatility of 10 points. Holdings shrank to $122 million, continuously decreasing. The fee rate is still positive at 0.008%, longs are paying, and paying lightly.
At 17:00, there was a 1-hour volume of 59,000 contracts, double that of 16:00, pulling from 1085 to 1112. Just now at 19:45, in 15 minutes it was smashed back to 1097, volume 15,000 contracts.
My view: the research report talks about capacity in 2030, but the market is selling this quarter's inventory cycle. Neither is wrong, the timeline is just too far apart. I have suffered losses chasing storage news this round, now I only watch when the holdings stop decreasing.
The story is in the distant future, the bill is due at the end of the near month.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Binance reopened for two days, and $4.72 billion fled first
CoinDesk reported today at 14:28 (Baghdad time): After Binance reopened on Sunday, net withdrawals by customers reached $4.72 billion, higher than the $3.64 billion on the first day.
The same report also said: Brazil's Mercado Bitcoin hot wallet was drained of about $40 million, confirmed by security company Hypernative.
US spot BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of $399 million on Monday, with BlackRock's IBIT seeing a single-day outflow of $405 million, the largest single-day outflow since June.
CoinGecko real-time prices: BTC $77,000 (down 1.05% in 24h), ETH $2,264, SOL $92.41, BNB $696.69.
The futures market is also unsettled: 24-hour trading volume $168.1 billion, liquidations $382.6 million, a single-day surge of 171%.
I think this is not just pure panic selling, but more like the trust ledger being recalculated: the compensation promise was made, but the feet voted first.
Midterm elections vote today, before results come out, volatility will only increase, not decrease.
Which side are you on: is this a sign of a bank run, or a normal operation of withdrawing coins to protect oneself?
$BTC $ETH
#Binance #Bitcoin Idle positions are the best at deceiving yourself, thinking that not adding to your position means no extra loss 🫧 But what really keeps people awake at night is whether the price considered the bottom can really hold. Watching DOGE yesterday, my first reaction wasn’t "it dropped again," but that many people treated "not adding more" as if the risk was already handled. Actually, this is only half of the stop-loss action; the other half is admitting that your original narrative has become invalid. $DOGE is currently at an unrealized loss of 312U, and if it drops another five percent to 0.07, it will be tested. The most dangerous thing about this position isn’t the numbers, but the voice in your mind saying "just wait a bit longer, it will come back." Without Elon Musk’s shoutout, it really is just a stray dog on the street. This sounds harsh but is very true—when a coin’s price depends on external hype, once that hype disappears, what’s left is pure emotional discounting. What’s even more interesting is BTC. 76,000 has been tested repeatedly, and more people are bottom-fishing. I’m actually cautious: when "catching a flying knife" becomes a collective habit, it means the panic isn’t over yet, it’s just shifted into phased entries. There is, of course, a bullish path—if around 70,000 a volume contraction and stop to the fall can form, ETH’s structure, which is relatively stronger than BTC’s, will repair first, giving altcoins some breathing room; but the risk is, if 76,000 is just a relay point and not the bottom, every illusion of "successful bottom-fishing" will delay and concentrate the subsequent selling pressure. I’ve also been thinking about ETH in this phase. It indeed has more strength than BTC, but the kind of review that says "I should have bought ETH five months ago"...📊 Binance Sees $2.3B Inflow, But $BTC Remains Weak!
Binance recorded a massive $2.3B net inflow today, leading major exchanges. Yet $BTC remains near $77.1K, with $85M in long liquidations over the past 24 hours.
Key Levels:
- Current: $77,100
- Resistance: $78,800
- Support: $76,400
Unless BTC breaks and holds above $78.8K, another test of $76.4K remains possible.
Exchange inflows don't automatically mean buying pressure. A real recovery needs strong
#USMidtermsPolicyOutlook Since Binance gradually reopened withdrawal functions starting November 1st, we have seen it undergo a wave of withdrawals.
According to on-chain data, the BTC balance dropped from 732,000 to 711,000; a total of 21,064 BTC were withdrawn.
Although the amount is not small, compared to the total balance, it accounts for less than 3%. Binance should be able to withstand this impact.
Yesterday, a friend called me asking if he should transfer his BTC from Binance to somewhere else, like his hardware wallet that’s almost worn out.
I said: You must be kidding. With your level of technical knowledge, putting so many coins into a wallet? General Jin would highly appreciate this and grant you a Pyongyang household registration.
Actually, I’m not against “self-custody,” but for tech novices like my friend, the chance of losing coins or being hacked on a wallet is much higher than Binance being hacked again and not compensating.
Of course, from a risk diversification perspective, placing some assets across multiple exchanges is a relatively reasonable option.
But it can’t be 100% guaranteed that other exchanges won’t be hacked in the future and still fully compensate after an incident.
After all, in terms of solvency, even Binance currently still holds $139.7 billion in on-chain asset reserves, with $BTC and USDT accounting for nearly 60%, $BNB 18%, and $ETH 6%.
Objectively speaking, no other crypto exchange worldwide matches this scale. Binance remains in a league of its own.According to Farside data and Blockcast's report today: On October 30, there was a net outflow of $643.2 million, marking the largest single-day withdrawal since June 25. On November 2, another $398.6 million flowed out, totaling $1.0418 billion over two days. BlackRock IBIT is the main force: on November 2 alone, it withdrew $405.3 million, totaling $639 million over two days, accounting for 61.3% of the total. Interestingly, Fidelity FBTC had a net inflow of $6.7 million on the same day, showing internal institutional divergence. CoinGecko real-time prices: BTC $76,766, down 1.67% in 24 hours. ETH $2,255.89, down 1.23%; SOL $92.03, down 2.36%. The aftermath of Binance's $6.3 billion hack is still ongoing, and today is the US midterm election, so risk sentiment will only tighten further. I think before ETF funds turn positive, don't mistake every rebound for a reversal. Key levels: reclaiming $77,000 above is considered stopping the bleeding, holding $76,000 below; closing below $76,000 with continued ETF net outflows invalidates this round of analysis. Not giving trading advice, just one sentence: right now, it's not about courage, it's about position sizing. Which side are you on: is this institutions hedging before the election, or the start of a new round of decline? $BTC $ETH $SOL #Bitcoin #ETFFundFlows On Monday, there was a large-scale outflow of funds from Binance; but today, Binance's net inflow reached $2.3 billion, making it the strongest performer among major exchanges.
However, it is worth noting that $BTC is still hovering around $77,100, and in the past 24 hours, $85 million worth of long positions have been liquidated.
Funds are flowing back into exchanges, but the capital truly willing to enter and buy seems not to have returned yet.
📉 Key levels:
* Current price: $77,100
* Key resistance: $78,800
* Support below: $76,400
As long as BTC cannot effectively break through and hold above $78,800, I believe the price may retest $76,400 again.
The core question is: Is the inflow of funds into exchanges really enough to drive a price reversal?
Fund inflow does not equal increased buying pressure; a true trend reversal still requires volume and sustained buying demand to confirm.
Do not blindly bottom-fish; wait for the market to give signals. DYOR! 🔥ETH has positive news, but the price does not rise; this is the most alarming signal! The Ethereum Foundation announced a proof of concept, which is a step forward for ecosystem development in the long term, but short-term funds have not shown strong buying interest. Positive news cannot directly translate into upward momentum; ultimately, it depends on whether trading volume and price confirm it.
📊 From the 4-hour chart, ETH has fallen steadily from 2526, with clear moving average resistance. It cannot hold near 2300 during rebounds and then falls back to around 2250. Although MACD shows a crossover at a low level, the momentum is not strong; until the red bars significantly expand, it cannot be considered a confirmed reversal.
💡 I value trading discipline more: when the market is uncertain, take some profits first. The 1291% return shown in the position screenshot is eye-catching, but more meaningful are the realized profits of 14.24U and the operation of closing half the position. The remaining 0.05 ETH as a base position can continue to be observed, but the liquidation price does not mean no risk; sharp price fluctuations and margin changes must be considered.
📉 Next, focus on the previous low at 2174. If it breaks down effectively, bears may seek further support, and the 2000 area will also become a market focus; if it climbs back above 2300 with volume, there is a chance to improve the short-term structure.
⚠️ Tonight, do not chase positive news or blindly add positions; first, watch the market for answers. Will you choose to take profits in batches or continue holding to wait for a rebound? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ Over 1 billion withdrawn from ETFs in two days, I only believe half of this rebound 💸
This ETF account is cooling off, but it needs to be viewed separately, not lumped together.
First, $BTC. A single-day net outflow of $398.6 million, the scary part is that IBIT alone withdrew $405.3 million, more than the total. The rest of the firms combined are still putting money in, so the selling pressure is concentrated in one place, not a full-scale institutional exit.
$ETH is the real trouble. Another $139.7 million outflow in one day, the sixth consecutive trading day of outflows, with ETHA alone carrying $138.3 million. Retail investors hope for a reversal, but institutions are voting with their feet. I can’t ignore this gap.
SOL’s net flow that day was zero, with about $71.6 million withdrawn over the previous five days. Stopping is good, but zero is zero, not a sign of buying back. Consider it a brake, not an accelerator.
$ZEC has no spot ETF support, all funds are in leveraged positions, and today it was the heaviest loser again. Without financial backing, it’s always the first to shake when the market wobbles.
On the news front, JOLTS data is due tonight at 11 PM, expected between 7.1 million and 7.22 million, and midterm election results will gradually come out tomorrow morning. Institutions are closing positions before the data, half as a hedge, not entirely bearish. But $ETH leaking for six days straight can’t be explained by avoiding one day of data.
Going forward, I’ll grade the signals: first see if IBIT stops the outflow, then if $ETH’s continuous leak stops, and if both stop and SOL shows net inflow again, only then will I acknowledge funds turning back. Until then, just watch the rebound, don’t act. Do you think this is a hedge or a real withdrawal? 🤔$SNDK Now it's obvious what the intention was just now, right? You got caught by this bull trap again?
Earlier, Taozi also mentioned several core reasons and conditions that need to be met for a bottoming rebound, and it's clear that they are not met.
First, it was said that it needs to break through 1120 and hold steady; second, the overall market needs to pull back while SanDisk does not follow the decline. Only then can an uptrend be considered started! Look at the current contract funds, and you'll see net outflows at every time period.
Clearly, neither condition is met. So, just let friends enter short positions. For take profit and stop loss, you can consult Taozi!
#PalantirAfterHoursDown3%RevenueExceeds$2B #USOctoberNonFarmPayrollsReleased: Is There Still a Chance for Rate Cuts? Will the US midterm elections become a turning point for the next phase of the US stock market?
Today is the US midterm election day. What’s worth paying attention to is not just whether the Republican Party can maintain control of Congress, but more importantly, what changes it might bring to the AI industry and tech stocks.
Currently, the market is mainly focused on three aspects:
1. Changes in congressional control
If the Democratic Party gains more seats, regulatory scrutiny on large tech companies may intensify, especially concerning AI companies, data center construction, and energy consumption issues.
If the Republican Party continues to control Congress, the continuity of existing policy directions is more likely.
2. Will the AI industry be affected?
This is the part I’m most concerned about.
In the past two years, AI computing power demand has driven growth in GPUs, HBM, DRAM, and enterprise-grade SSDs.
But now the market is starting to focus on another question:
With so much investment poured into AI companies, will they be able to achieve sufficient commercial returns in the future?
If future regulatory policies impact data center construction, or if large tech companies begin to slow down capital expenditures, the entire semiconductor supply chain could be affected.
3. What impact will this have on Micron, SanDisk, and SOXL?
I believe it’s too simplistic to directly equate election results with semiconductor stock price movements.
What truly determines the future profitability of Micron and SanDisk are AI demand, storage prices, orders, and corporate capital expenditures.
#美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？ You can move your coins without the private key: $ARB's case is bigger than the $30 million itself
In the Binance hack case, $ARB did something that was only theoretical before: the security committee transferred funds from the hacker's address without having the hacker's private key—8,425 $ETH plus 74 million $ARB, about $30 million.
The method was like this: the 12-person committee can emergency upgrade with 9 approvals. On Friday, they temporarily changed the $ARB cross-chain mailbox contract code, adding a function called sendUnsignedTransactionOverride, which made the chain treat these two transactions as if sent by the hacker themselves. After transferring the funds to a custody address ending in 0DA0, the original code was immediately restored, and the whole process was made public within an hour and a half.
To be clear: this $30 million is just a drop compared to $6.3 billion, and the money is only being held in custody. To move it, a $ARB DAO vote is required; it hasn't been returned to Binance or users.
The painful part is the latter: the security company's original statement that only the key holder can move funds from an address only holds until someone controls the upgrade path. The same method was used in April to transfer 30,766 $ETH from the KelpDAO hacker, about $71 million. This is the second time.
Recovering stolen funds is good, but the cost is obvious: if you can save stolen money, you can move funds from any address. The decentralization banner was torn open by insiders today.#苹果Q4营收超预期，下季度毛利率指引承压 ⚠️ “Next quarter gross margin guidance under pressure” is a bearish point (also the main reason for the after-hours decline)
Apple's own forecast for the December holiday season (Fiscal Q1):
• Gross margin expected at 45%~46%, about 2 points lower quarter-on-quarter, below previous market expectations
• Two main reasons:
1. Price increase of memory/storage chips (Apple CFO emphasized, low-priced inventory is running out quickly, next purchases will be at higher prices)
2. Siri AI launch, continuously increasing cloud computing costs, eating into profits
• Although revenue guidance also shows 7%-10% growth (not bad), the market focuses more on profit margin: meaning more sales, but less profit per unit sold
In simple terms
This quarter sold better than expected and made money; but the upcoming Christmas peak season, with rising raw material + AI costs, will compress profit margins, so funds are cautious, leading to after-hours stock price decline. Regarding the US accusations about Binance-related funds being stolen, the involved parties have denied the claims and view this matter alongside the previous Bybit incident, considering such accusations as a form of pressure. A key point in this statement is the shift of focus from identifying the perpetrators to issues of asset recovery ownership and regulation. It was proposed that if the recovered crypto assets are incorporated into the national strategic reserves, the beneficiaries of the confiscated assets deserve scrutiny. BNB ($BNB) and Bitcoin ($BTC) are directly affected by such exchange security rumors. Among them, $BNB is closely tied to the platform's operational status, making it the most straightforward market indicator for this matter; while $BTC, as the most liquid asset in the entire sector, often absorbs the market's risk-off selling sentiment whenever exchange security news intensifies. Large-scale exchange asset security incidents have occurred for two consecutive years. After each event, differing statements from various parties reveal that the attribution of asset theft has become entangled with complex external geopolitical factors. Stolen crypto assets often circulate through mixers and over-the-counter channels, with a low recovery rate. Public statements sometimes have a greater impact than on-chain forensic evidence. There is also a procedural issue to clarify here: if the recovered crypto assets are to become sovereign reserves, an independent and verifiable asset transfer ledger is required, covering the entire process from seizure to custody. Without this publicly accessible record, market pricing sentiment for $BNB and $BTC after each exchange theft incident is more likely to be driven by external declarations rather than concrete on-chain evidence.Currently, the volume of short liquidations exceeds that of long liquidations by approximately a 2:1 ratio, but the price still seems likely to dip further.
If the price falls to $74,000, it will trigger an additional $5 billion in long liquidations.
However, beyond that, there is almost no liquidity below.The AI computing power project Akash is moving to Solana.
The Akash community has just passed a chain migration proposal: planning to migrate from its own Cosmos chain to Solana, and AKT will also launch a Solana version.
The project team gave a very practical reason: spending less effort maintaining a chain while being closer to more users, capital, and ecosystem applications.
However, passing the vote does not mean the move is complete. According to the current plan, it still needs to go through audits, migration rehearsals, and subsequent votes, and the actual switch time is not yet determined.
I think this is quite representative: projects used to always want to build their own chain, as if having a chain meant prestige; now they might have to first calculate where their users really are.
Is having your own chain more important, or is it more important that the product actually has users? Akash chose the latter this time. On November 2nd, an address (t1JJnA) spent $3.8 million to buy 3,052 $ZEC spot coins at an average price of 1250. At the same time, they also opened a 2x long position of 8,000 $ZEC contracts, worth $10.16 million. Spot plus contracts, they spent nearly $14 million in total. The ZEC NU7 mainnet upgrade is scheduled for November 5th, reducing block time from 75 seconds directly to 25 seconds, but instead of waiting for the upgrade to go live, they positioned themselves three days in advance. The $SPCX has dropped so much, is it time to buy the dip?
Before buying the dip, you need to understand why it dropped. Only when the cause of the drop is resolved can it possibly rise!
The owner of the rocket company is Musk, and Musk is deeply tied to Trump.
If the Democrats take both houses this time, even if Trump remains in office, he will become a puppet president, and many policies will be impossible to push through.
As Musk is his closest confidant, he will definitely face a wave of purges, and his companies $TSLA Tesla and the rocket company will be affected.
The recent continuous drop in the rocket company’s stock is because big investors have seen this risk.
Don’t just think about buying the dip because the price is cheap. This knife hasn’t fallen yet. Let’s wait and watch, and talk after the election results are out and the risk is released!The USDT price may stabilize in the short term and not continue to decline. The central bank announced today that starting from November 15, the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio will be raised from 4% to 6%, an increase of 2 percentage points. This is the first increase in nearly 5 years, timed just after the RMB broke above 6.65, reaching a new high in over four years. The central bank's main intention this time is to cool down the rapid appreciation of the RMB.🔥The bears failed to slam the door shut at 76000 this time! BTC was hit by a stolen coin incident, causing short-term panic to clearly intensify. The price dipped near 76500 but did not continue to collapse; instead, it rebounded. The most interesting part of the market is here: the negative news has already been released, but the price has not given a definitive answer of a complete breakdown.
🧭This does not mean the risk is gone. Currently, BTC seems to be in a tug-of-war around 77000, with buying support but not yet strong momentum. Whether the funds that sold in panic earlier are willing to re-enter is the key to how far the rebound can go.
📈Looking at the futures market, long positions exceed shorts, and the funding rate remains positive during declines, indicating many traders still expect a rebound and are willing to buy on dips. But don’t interpret this signal as a guaranteed rise: the more concentrated the longs, the easier it is for a chain liquidation to occur if support breaks.
🎯Next, watch the 76500 and 77000 levels closely. If 76500 holds and the price regains 77000 with volume, there is a chance to challenge 79100—80000; if 76500 is effectively broken, reassess the short-term structure and don’t stubbornly hold on. Next week’s market may provide direction, but the real opportunity comes from confirmation, not speculation. Do you think BTC can reclaim 79000? #美国中期选举在即，哪些结果值得关注？
