$FIL FIL has been struggling at the bottom for a long time. The root cause is not that the project has made no progress, but the valuation paradox inherent to service tokens:
Infrastructure is continuously iterating, paid services are gradually being implemented, but customers are accustomed to paying with fiat currency, and service providers mostly cash out tokens immediately. Coupled with linear inflation, exchanges holding massive spot chips, and long-term crowded longs, it is difficult for positive factors to translate into sustained buying pressure.
It won't easily go to zero; the network is transitioning from virtual computing power to real paid storage;
But to break out into an independent major rally, the conditions are very stringent: a FIL settlement closed loop must be formed, continuous token withdrawals to shrink circulating supply, combined with capital rotation in a bull market.
For a long time to come, it is highly likely to remain a range-bound bottoming and repeated tug-of-war pattern, with the greatest cost being time and mindset. Will the US stock market surge sharply when it opens this Monday? Is $BTC at 79,000-80,000 really the bottom? To get straight to the point, be prepared tonight, something big might really be coming!
Over the weekend, Trump started releasing macroeconomic news to stir things up again, imposing a 10% tariff on Canada, US debt continues to break through 4 billion, crude oil can't fall, what will happen next after the progress between the US and Iran?
Many say BTC's daily chart hasn't bottomed yet, at least a deep correction down to 75,000-73,000 is needed to buy the dip. Retail investors are debating, panic is spreading, but can the reality really give so many people a chance? As long as the macro environment's FOMC doesn't turn hawkish and interest rate expectations fall, a big bullish candle with volume might really come.
Personally, I think the market is unlikely to drop sharply intraday now; this might already be the last shakeout. Actually, whether Trump wins or not no longer has much impact on the market; institutions predict a low chance of his victory and have already hedged and withdrawn. Secondly, with rate hike expectations, the stronger dollar leads more people to deposit in banks for interest, shifting funds. These negatives have already been reflected in the candlesticks, which is why there hasn't been a direct oversell from bad news recently.
From the BTC spot ETF perspective, most inflows and outflows in the past ten days have concentrated in BlackRock's IBIT; five out of ten days saw outflows. Last week was dominated by main forces, but over the weekend it turned to outflows, with a slight net inflow of 74 million overall, not strong. The largest outflow was from Fidelity's FBTC, and Grayscale's main trust GBTC had relatively small redemptions [most likely asset hedging]. A true market reversal requiresThe sentiment around $BTC is stuck at a delicate divergence point: 39% bullish, 32% bearish, 29% neutral — bulls lead by only 7 percentage points. This is not a consensus expectation but a tug-of-war yet to be decided. What truly matters is not this set of sentiment numbers, but the capital movements behind them that have already started "voting with their feet." First, look at the hardest evidence: spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of 5,183 $BTC this week, and the cumulative net inflow for the year remains solidly positive. Prices may be sideways, sentiment may fluctuate, but the real money in the ETF channel has not retreated. This is the market's most easily underestimated signal right now — while retail sentiment hesitates, institutional allocation pipelines continue to absorb capital. More importantly, institutional product innovation is accelerating. Franklin Templeton launched a "stock + BTC" hybrid ETF, where stock dividends are automatically converted into $BTC exposure; CMCC Global introduced tokenized funds targeting 8% to 12% annualized returns. The significance of these two developments lies not in scale but in structure: traditional finance is no longer just "buying some BTC," but embedding BTC into the underlying logic of yield products. This is a second-order change, more indicative of the trend than single inflows. On-chain data also supports this. This month, whales increased holdings by about $780 million, with Cardone Capital buying 16 $BTC at $80,000 each. Note this price anchor — institutions are still willing to build positions around 80k, indicating that this range is partially💡Everyone is shouting that 80,000 is a solid bottom?
I immediately took a short position (with real trading analysis attached)
Today I saw two very interesting posts. One (Image 1) is wildly bullish, saying $BTC $ETH have a double bottom solidified, institutions are bottom-fishing, and a takeoff is imminent; the other (Image 2) uses deep data analysis to point out: short-term capital inflow is an illusion, the real truth is a net capital outflow over 30 days.
I lean more towards the latter. Trading can't rely solely on news and bullish calls; you have to look at the candlesticks and capital flow.
Look at my real trading chart (Image 3):
1. Daily level: Price has been tightly suppressed by MA10 and MA20, a typical downtrend. After that big bearish candle slammed down, the rebound couldn't even reach the midline, extremely weak.
2. Indicator analysis: Image 1 says "extremely low volume accumulation before breakout," but in a downtrend, low volume consolidation is often a "downtrend continuation," commonly known as "prolonged consolidation leads to a drop." Once it breaks below the low near 79,000, the downside space will fully open.
3. Trading strategy: Unity of knowledge and action. Since big money is cashing out during short-term rebounds (refer to Image 2 data), we follow the trend. I placed a short position above 80,000 (as shown in the lower left corner of Image 3's position), aiming for high leverage with a stop loss near the previous high.
Don't blindly catch falling knives; so-called "strong support" is meant to be broken. Short with the trend and let profits run!

📌 Policy Expectations: The market is closely watching the decision and Powell's press conference. Holding steady does not equal good news; if the tone is hawkish or rate cut expectations cool down, BTC may still face pressure.
🌍 Macro Signals: After the meeting, watch the dollar index and US Treasury yields. A falling dollar and declining yields may revive risk appetite; conversely, rebound potential could be suppressed.
📊 Key Levels: Support near $80,000 below, resistance around $82,000–$83,000 above. Only a breakout with volume can strengthen the short-term structure; if support fails, beware of an expanded pullback.
🧠 Personal Judgment: Don’t equate "pause in rate hikes" directly with a price increase. The real direction depends on whether statements exceed expectations and if funds are willing to follow.
⚠️ Risk Reminder: Volatility will be high around the decision; beware of reversals after news settles. Manage positions and leverage carefully, and wait for direction confirmation before acting! #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？ #中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 Understanding oracles is key to a deeper grasp of DeFi risksGot the script "A trader who can't trade coins isn't a good hacker" again?

A mysterious entity with funds sourced from Tornado has cumulatively purchased 3000.5 $ETH (7.06 million USD) since 10.23, then swapped it to $BTC via the cross-chain protocol THORChain; this entity had sold ETH in batches at price peaks and recently bought back at lows Analyzing the "paper" support on the Bitcoin order book, will there still be a pullback after losing the 80,000 mark?
According to BlockBeats, on October 26, BTC is currently hovering around $80,000, with large buy plans and long liquidation lines interspersed. In the futures market, what appears to be a thick "buy wall" can trigger a chain of forced liquidations once the price falls below the long liquidation line, causing the original buy orders to instantly turn into sell orders that push the price down.
To determine "where possible strong support lies," we combined all million-dollar long positions in the Hyperliquid market, analyzing the cost distribution of nearly 200 whales, and verified 557 addresses that previously held million-dollar positions. We conducted hedging calculations on preset buy orders, exit sell orders, and long liquidation pressure. $ETH $ZEC
Million-dollar long position costs: half are underwater in profit and loss
Across the entire market, 198 BTC $BTC holders have long positions exceeding $1 million, totaling approximately $1.184 billion. Weighted by position size, the average entry price is about $79,495, which serves as the "profit and loss breakeven line" for large long positions in the market.
Additionally, the current price of $79,938 is just slightly above the average cost line. If it falls below 79,000, half of the large long holders mentioned above will be fully in loss, which will trigger some stop-loss orders to emerge, intensifying the liquidation cascade below.Hyperliquid will open 11 HIP-1 spot markets tonight at 21:30 (9:30 PM EST), with underlying assets ranging from the S&P 500 (EQSPY), Nasdaq 100 (EQQQQ) to Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, Micron, and even SpaceX.
Sounds appealing, but the issuer EQX clearly states: the tokens are backed 1:1 by real shares, legally issued as limited recourse debt certificates by a segregated portfolio company in the British Virgin Islands, not direct stock ownership, and are not open to U.S. persons.
On the other hand: the tokenized U.S. stock platform jointly launched by OKX and ICE has only been online for three weeks and has been boycotted by 22 listed companies including Microsoft and Goldman Sachs, citing that operating outside the existing regulatory framework would cause liquidity fragmentation.
In the market, the RWA sector hasn’t benefited at all:
$ONDO at $0.4076, 24h -1.29%, 7d -6.41%, painfully in the bottom three;
$LINK at $11.411, 24h -1.68%, 7d -5.38%;
$ENA is actually one of the strongest today, at $0.2063, 24h +5.28%, 7d +8.98%, but still down -24.29% over 30 days.
My view: RWA is the sector with the most hype and the most inflated prices. The real value of tokenized U.S. stocks is to bring U.S. stock liquidity on-chain, not to pump ONDO.#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹
As of October 19, 2026, Michael Saylor's Strategy holds approximately 848,517 bitcoins, with a total investment of about 64.02 billion USD and an average holding cost of about 75,446 USD per coin. The company continues to increase its holdings, with the latest disclosed transaction being the purchase of 267 BTC between October 12 and 18, at an average price of 82,900 USD.ETF 10-day cumulative net inflow is 299.4 million, marking the eighth consecutive trading day of positive inflows. The capital turning point has been confirmed for two weeks—but the price still hovers around 80,000. Why? First, the news. Capital side: latest single-day net inflow is 29.2 million (eighth consecutive day), 5-day net inflow is 202.3 million, 10-day net inflow is 299.4 million. Price side: BTC at $80,933.5, 24h +1.42%, past week -0.30%; 20-day range from 79,220.1 to 86,693.7. Sentiment side: Fear & Greed Index at 54. Macro side: Dollar at 101.81 (+0.20%), Gold at 4,007.9 (-1.29%), S&P 500 at 7,623.68 (-0.52%). Next, looking at capital impact. After the capital turning point is established, price usually follows one of two paths: one is a catch-up rally (driven by capital), the other is lagging (suppressed by macro factors). Currently, it is the latter: ETFs are buying, but the strengthening dollar, falling US stocks, and declining gold create a macro environment that suppresses price elasticity. This does not mean capital is ineffective, but that its effect is offset by macro factors. Implications for BTC: the key variable in this situation is macro. If the dollar stops strengthening and US stocks stabilize, the effect of capital will immediately show; if macro conditions continue to worsen, capital inflows may only maintain price without pushing it up. So, short-term focus is on macro, mid-term on capital. I will next monitor four indicators: first, whether the 10-day net inflow can continue to expand; second, the dollar index at 101.8 The $80,000 Gamble and Local Countertrend Surge: Who Is Panicking, Who Is Greedy?
Risk aversion sentiment heats up on the eve of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, with BTC falling below the $80,000 psychological barrier, hitting a low near $79,200. However, amid the overall market weakness, local hotspots are sharply diverging.
① ZEC ($1,203.46, -0.43%): The "Quantum-Resistant Insurance" attracting funds against the trend. While BTC ETFs lost over $500 million in two days, Wall Street injected $41.1 million into Zcash.
② BCH ($278.40, +1.05%): The old coin's new story ignited by CME futures. CME launched BCH futures combined with expectations for a Grayscale spot ETF.
③ IRYS ($0.031320, -18.50%): The naked swimmer after the short squeeze tide recedes. With a market cap of only $150 million but a trading volume of $1 billion, the price surged to a historical high of $0.30 before crashing below $0.07, a typical pullback after a short squeeze. More dangerously, 77.59 million tokens are about to unlock, the forced buyers have exited, and the market lacks buying support.
Macro risk aversion suppresses the overall market, but funds have not exited; instead, they concentrate on assets like ZEC and BCH with independent narratives, while showing no mercy to purely order flow-driven tokens like IRYS.
As BTC repeatedly tests the $80,000 level, will you choose to bet on ZEC's countertrend narrative or wait for the market to stabilize before making a move?
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 In the crypto circle, buying major coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum, holding for the long term, and eventually cashing out to exit while holding USDT to wait for the next cycle means earning incremental money from industry growth and the strengthening consensus around major coins. This is a positive-sum game.
Playing with on-chain meme tokens or secondary VC coins on exchanges means earning money from other investors, which is a zero-sum game. It’s more difficult, requiring you to enter earlier than others and exit quickly.
Similarly, buying the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 also earns money from industry growth, not PvP money. For ordinary people to earn money from positive-sum games is already impressive. Most people who play altcoins or individual US stocks end up losing their principal.
Even many fund managers can’t beat the major market indices. Instead of entrusting strangers with your money, it’s better to buy major coins, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500 yourself.
Unfortunately, the simplest path is often seen as too simple, so people are unwilling to take it. Instead, they challenge the difficult zero-sum game mode and end up with big losses.
I write these words to remind myself to focus more on positive-sum games and earn more from industry growth. Otherwise, with my talent, I might get harvested by others in PvP.ETH ETF hemorrhaged $1 billion
In October, the US spot Ethereum ETF saw a net outflow of about $1.08 billion, marking the worst single month since November 2025. ETH price also dropped to around $2,330, retreating over 40% from its 52-week high.
But breaking down this outflow:
First, 93% of the outflow was concentrated in BlackRock's ETHA product. ETHA is the largest Ethereum ETF with about $8.1 billion in assets under management, naturally bearing the brunt of redemptions. More importantly, some funds shifted from ETHA, which offers no staking yield, to ETHB, which provides staking rewards—this is a rebranding, not an exit.
Second, the real driver is interest rates, not Ethereum fundamentals. After the CPI exceeded expectations in September, the market repriced the Fed's rate hike path, with the 10-year US Treasury yield approaching 5.3%. Spot ETFs do not pay staking rewards, so the opportunity cost of holding a no-yield ETF surged. Institutions are cutting "pure price exposure," not rejecting Ethereum itself.
Third, on-chain voting trends are completely opposite. Staking volume hit a record high—about 43.8 million ETH locked. On one side, ETFs are redeeming shares; on the other, on-chain locking is increasing, indicating that what’s being sold is the "ETF shell," while the "underlying asset" is being accumulated.
So why is the ETH/BTC ratio still weakening? Because institutions are indeed rotating from underperforming ETH to BTC. This year, BTC has dropped about 7%, ETH about 18%, so funds naturally flow to the asset with higher certainty. $BTC $ETH

Each cycle of bear and bull market fluctuations is getting smaller. With smaller fluctuations, larger leverage is required to achieve previous returns. This is why normal fluctuations now cause long liquidations equal to previous major downturns.$UNITREE
Why has the "toy company" surged like this?
Capital is fleeing from the chip sector and flowing into another AI narrative: physical AI and embodied intelligence. This violent surge of Unitree is a product driven by this narrative.
It's clearly wrong for the short sellers to simply label Unitree as a toy company.
The shorts think that robotic dogs and humanoid robots are mostly sold to university labs for research demonstrations, with very few large-scale industrial orders. The products seem more like smart toys rather than productivity devices capable of generating large-scale revenue. They believe the current price has already priced in several years of future industry expectations. Humanoid robot commercialization still faces long engineering hurdles, and the narrative cannot support such a high valuation. The long upper shadow of 104.79 on the surge is the mark of shorts and profit-taking selling concentratedly cashing out.
I personally lean more towards the bullish logic:
The sector is still in its infancy, in the stage of speculation on expectations, so current financial reports are not the focus. Unitree independently develops servos and reducers, with a core component self-development rate exceeding 90%, and leads global shipments of quadruped robots. The SuperMimic technology directly reduces the computing power cost of robot motion training by thousands of times, solving one of the biggest bottlenecks for humanoid robots. The market is betting on a 1 to 3 year timeframe for physical AI to reach an industry inflection point similar to ChatGPT.
For those looking for short-term gains, it's better to wait for confirmed market trends rather than betting prematurely on fantasies.
#宇树科技科创板首日开盘暴涨629%，高估值如何兑现？ The total volume growth of trading business is highly likely to continue, but the growth rate will decline from the high level seen in 2025. Options and stocks provide a more stable foundation than crypto, while event contracts are currently the sharpest incremental growth driver. The hedging mechanism formed by these three has already withstood the stress test of continuous crypto contraction in the first half of 2026. The real risk is not whether "growth will stop," but whether the market is willing to continue paying a valuation premium far above the industry average for an engine switch amid slowing growth. If the growth rate of event contracts slows marginally in subsequent quarters, or if stock/option trading volume declines with market activity, the pressure for valuation correction may arrive earlier than the business downturn itself.Money is moving, but not in the same direction. Bitcoin ETFs lost over $500 million in two days, while at the same time, the Zcash ETF attracted $41.1 million, marking the largest weekly inflow since September. Even more striking is what's happening inside Binance: retail BTC deposits doubled from 5.5 billion to 10.75 billion, while whale transfers actually shrank by 36%.
What’s going on? Mainstream assets are flowing out, privacy coins are receiving funds; whales are pulling back, retail investors are charging in.
Why is this worth noting? It shows that the current weakness isn’t a "mass exodus" but a structural redistribution of chips. Pricing power is temporarily shifting from whales to retail and localized narratives, and BTC is no longer the sole container of funds.
Which observation is more supported? The "structural rotation in a choppy market" rather than widespread panic. The fear and greed index remains neutral, but capital is choosing directions, not liquidating.
Ahead of the Fed meeting on the 27th-28th, focus on two things: whether ZEC can hold above the $1200 resistance, and whether whale deposits will suddenly reverse and rise. If whales start moving bricks back to exchanges, the story’s script will change. Do you think retail investors will crack first, or will whales make the first move? Let’s discuss in the comments. $BTC $ETH Yushu breaks through the 100-yuan mark! Bears completely wiped out in a day and a half, is 104 the top or just halfway up?
Trigger: A-share Yushu Technology surged 18% intraday, instantly igniting market sentiment. Coupled with the brewing anticipation of the upcoming Physical AI Conference and the hardcore exposure of the H2-X robot, Binance futures funding rate plunged to an extreme negative value of -1.16%, forcing shorts to liquidate, triggering a stampede-like rally.
In the short term, the 98-100 range is a strong psychological barrier, RSI is deeply overbought, chasing longs now is like grabbing fire; but in a negative funding rate environment, rashly shorting also risks a spike. The more likely scenario is high-level consolidation and shakeout, rather than an immediate top.
In terms of strategy, aggressive traders can lightly short near 100, while conservative ones should wait for volume to break below 95 and confirm weakness before shorting, targeting a pullback below 90.
Is this short squeeze really over?
#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ $UNITREE $XAU Is there still a second major wave of shipments for $IRYS?
The peak is at 0.5; the deep consolidation is simply due to a reversal to kill longs; plus, the unlocking of 77 million tokens on the 25th yesterday further releases circulation, so bottom-fishing requires waiting for the unlocking sentiment to be released and digested.
Also, why talk about a second wave for IRYS? It's not baseless. Comparing the trends of previous meme coins $PIPPIN and $LAB, emotional speculation often leads to a second wave!
How to identify signs that the major holder has a second main rising wave?
First, the funds for bottom-fishing decrease.
Second, the spot accumulation degree; the major holder must first buy a large amount of bottom spot chips to pump the price and distribute at the high point!

There are several risk signals to keep an eye on:
1. Oil prices suddenly surge
2. Inflation pressure rises in the US
3. The market starts to panic, fearing the Federal Reserve will resume rate hikes
4. Asian markets have already weakened first
Looking back at several major bubble crashes in history, similar warning signs appeared on the eve!
The 1972 'Nifty Fifty' rally was followed by a major drop
The 1989 Japanese asset bubble was followed by a deep correction
The 2000 internet bubble burst, severely hitting tech stocks
So this year, could it be the AI bubble? Some even boldly predict the maximum drawdown could reach 82%
To be clear, this 82% is just a speculation, not a predetermined outcome, and history does not simply repeat itself.
What we really need to watch closely is the simultaneous deterioration of inflation, oil prices, and rate hike expectations. Once they resonate, the volatility of all risk assets will be amplified.
US stocks, the AI sector, and $BTC all have risks clearly on the table, but don’t let sensational headlines claiming an inevitable crash tomorrow drive you to act emotionally.

#IntelQ3TerafabFoundry Latest Hot Topics and Trends in the Crypto Sector: Structural Rotation Amidst Volatility and Divergence
BTC repeatedly tests around $83,000, ETH hovers near $2,450, with interest rate pressures and ETF capital outflows still suppressing overall risk appetite. However, the sector itself is not calm; capital is regrouping along several clear narrative lines.
The AI sector is the most sustainable rotation direction. Wintermute clearly points out that amid pressure on mainstream assets, AI tokens like NEAR are attracting funds flowing out of DeFi, becoming relative beneficiaries in a weak market. OKX data also confirms this: during market rebounds, the AI sector led with a 9.07% increase, with tokens like TAO, RENDER, and VIRTUAL collectively strengthening. The AI narrative is no longer just conceptual hype but a "structural safe haven" actively chosen by capital under high interest rate pressure.
The altcoin season index has risen to a one-year high of 66, but 20 out of 26 categories are declining, showing extreme divergence. The leaders are not broad-spectrum altcoins but infrastructure directions such as on-chain voting, cross-chain bridges, and data availability; Layer2 and ZK sectors have also seen structural rallies like STRK doubling in a single day. This indicates that the "altcoin season" has not fully arrived; capital is only willing to pay premiums for niche tracks with real use cases or clear catalysts.
Currently, the crypto market is in a pattern of "index volatility and sector rotation": macro interest rates set an upper limit, but AI, infrastructure, and ETF expansion are competing for existing capital.Bitcoin is being repriced by institutions, how much longer can the faith premium hold?
The consensus of Bitcoin as digital gold is being rewritten by institutional funds.
Long-term holders haven't moved much, but more Bitcoin is accumulating in custody addresses. Chips are gradually entering regulated custody, weakening its original censorship-resistant attribute, and Bitcoin is slowly becoming a compliant asset.
The bullish logic is simple. ETFs lower the entry barrier, brand advantages are hard to replace in the short term, and institutional entry also smooths out much volatility.
Risks also exist. Concentration of computing power and development rights, custody facilitating regulatory intervention, and the long-term risk of quantum computing—decentralization may actually become a hindrance during emergency upgrades.
Currently, capital only pursues certainty. Even if Bitcoin strengthens, most altcoins find it hard to have independent rallies; capital prioritizes assets that can be custodied and listed on ETFs.
Short-term consensus is not easy to collapse; just keep an eye on custody chip concentration and quantum security progress going forward.
Consensus won't disappear overnight, it just changed its flavor long ago. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $ORDER The same tactics, the same tricks, so this wave of decline was all expected.
Specifically, the unlock was completed today, and looking at the candlestick chart, it's already at a halving level. The main holders on the chain have basically sold off about 70-80%. I have successfully escaped at the peak. To the brothers stuck at the mountain top, I can only say take care of yourselves.
At this time, don't think about bottom-fishing. The main holders are escaping, the project team is running away, and there is no capital on the chain to reverse the situation. Instead, it will continue to decline steadily, so shorting is the hard truth.
Current price 0.040, missed the entry, just aim to double the target.
#Robinhood交易业务增长能否延续？ The last bull market experienced a total of 6 level corrections, with each correction ranging mainly between 20%-30%.
The maximum drawdown in the last bear market was 77%, while in this bear market it is 53%.
A clear pattern can be observed: the amplitude of bull and bear market fluctuations is gradually narrowing.
In an environment of narrowing volatility, replicating past equivalent returns requires increasing leverage. This also explains the current phenomenon: despite regular oscillations, the scale of long liquidations rivals that of previous major downturns.
Following the logic of volatility convergence, deep corrections in this bull market are likely to range between 10%-15%.
The current correction is already nearing its end. $BTC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 80,000 USD is not the bottom; it is the cost line where this batch of new buyers got trapped together
Bitcoin once again fell below 80,000 USD this weekend, hitting a low near 79,146 USD, the lowest point in over a month. But interpreting this as a "crypto crash" is wrong: it looks more like a mechanical margin liquidation, colliding with an asset repricing driven by interest rates and oil prices. The Federal Reserve meets this week from October 27 to 28, and the market pricing for "no change" has exceeded 90%, with 94 out of 100 economists expecting rates to remain unchanged. This is precisely where the risk lies—the numbers themselves are not surprising; the suspense is all in the statement wording and Powell's press conference, and he has already publicly abandoned forward guidance. What truly determines whether 80,000 holds is not the candlestick chart but two cost lines: the average cost of US spot Bitcoin ETF holders is about 81,500 USD, and the average cost of corporate treasuries is about 80,200 USD. The price is now stuck between these two lines, with those above collectively at an unrealized loss. #Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 $BTC $ETH $IRYS $XRP
Someone told me that the warming of XRP ETF funds indicates institutions are secretly bottom-fishing. I disagree.
The data is like this: on Thursday, the net inflow of XRP spot ETFs was $3.55 million, the best single day since October 8. Sounds good, right? But looking back, in early October, single-day net inflows were often in the tens of millions, so $3.55 million over the whole month is just climbing from freezing point to lukewarm water.
The market also doesn't support this. XRP is now at 1.284, down 1% in 24 hours, and the intraday high of 1.31 didn't hold. If there were big funds rushing in, the price wouldn't be so sluggish.
So my judgment is that this looks more like a normal rebound after overselling, not a reversal. Until the 1.27 to 1.31 range is broken, I won't add longs or chase shorts, just watch.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $ETH
The Ethereum ICO old address that has been dormant for 11 years moved today. 5000 ETH were transferred out, of which 1500 ETH went directly to exchanges, worth about 3.45 million USD at the current price. The 3.45 million mentioned in the breaking news is these 1500 ETH; I checked the price, around 2315, which matches.
My first reaction was not panic. ETH is now at 2315, fluctuating between 2293 and 2365 in 24 hours, down a bit over 1%. If a whale really had a negative outlook, why wait 11 years of dormancy and choose a lukewarm sideways day to act?
But on the other hand, the ICO cost back then was almost zero, so selling at any price was a windfall, completely different from our mindset entering at over 2300, so don’t overinterpret this as a dump signal.
It does remind me: when such old addresses move, short-term sentiment is somewhat affected. I’m holding my small base position, and my contract was just liquidated once last week, so I’m not in a hurry to buy back.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #中东原油运输恢复，油价为何仍居高位？ Bro, the magical realism in the Middle East right now is crystal clear.
Look at the data: oil transport through Hormuz is gradually recovering, but what about oil prices? Brent stubbornly closed at $116.72, and WTI also broke above $103.
Why can ships sail, yet oil remains so expensive? Because freight and insurance costs simply won't come down! The Houthi militants are still launching missiles at Saudi energy facilities, and even if intercepted, this "security cost" all gets added into the oil price. Trump says the conflict might end soon, but neither side has signed any agreement; this is pure "expectation management" talk.
As long as oil prices stubbornly stay above $110, this big game can't be solved. High oil prices firmly choke inflation, so the Fed absolutely won't dare to cut rates and might even continue tightening. US Treasury yields keep sucking liquidity at high levels, and global funds are all flocking to risk-free interest — that's the fundamental reason why Bitcoin is now below the 80,000 mark and still struggling to find a bottom. $BTC $CL Calm on the surface, but underneath all strings are taut 🎐 - Does a 5% unchanged probability really mean zero risk? A quick glance at the market this week shows BTC hanging around 80550, firmly holding the 80K line, with an atmosphere so quiet it feels like nothing happened. But the derivatives side gives me a completely different feeling—the more everyone "knows interest rates won’t move" at moments like this, the easier it is to build up one-sided positions. The interest rate decision itself may have already been priced in, but what hasn’t been priced is the emotional release right after the decision. Looking across markets, the US dollar interest rate expectations are suppressing the entire risk curve. BTC holding the round number level indicates big money hasn’t withdrawn yet, but it’s not on the offensive either—more like waiting for an excuse. This stance is very obvious when transmitted to altcoins: ENA is grinding around 0.1888, its USDe yield inherently tied to US interest rates, so when the rate path is unclear, capital inflows hesitate; HYPE is at 76.5, still some distance from 80, needing the broader market to give direction before it can truly rebound; WLD is at 0.467, telling an AI identity narrative, characterized by high emotional elasticity but also the easiest to be dragged down by the broader market. The bullish path isn’t complicated: as long as there’s no hawkish surprise after the rate decision, suppressed risk appetite will first return to BTC and ETH, then spill over to high-beta names like ENA and HYPE, squeezing shorts. But the fragile point is here—when consensus is too full, any slight wording deviation can trigger reverse liquidations, with high-leverage positions being cleaned out first, causing altcoin pullbacks.Before Wednesday, big money is doing a very boring thing: reducing positions.
BTC has dropped back below 80,000, now around 79,900. During the Asian morning session, it once nearly fell 2%. Many people's first reaction is that it crashed again, but to me, it looks more like waiting for Wednesday.
The Federal Reserve will announce its decision on the 28th. The market gives about a 90% probability of "maintaining the interest rate." What really makes people nervous is not whether there will be a rate hike this week, but whether Waller will firmly confirm a December rate hike during the press conference.
Money in government bonds can reliably earn high returns, so risk assets naturally need to shrink first. Oil prices have pulled back a bit from the highs; Brent is around 114, but still expensive, meaning the inflation thorn hasn't been fully removed.
I don't really believe there will be any big moves in the few days before the meeting. Next, we watch the night after the decision: if BTC steadily closes back above 82,500, then this is a typical pre-meeting liquidation; if Waller turns hawkish and prices continue to drop, the "just de-risking" narrative will have to be revised.

#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Elon Musk warns of a major shakeup in AI cloud providers: GPU rental prices keep rising, but financing is tightening
GPUs have even become a resale business. A founder of an AI lab revealed that they locked in a large amount of GPU computing power in advance, and now the rental prices for H100, B200, and B300 have increased 2 to 3 times. Even if they ultimately fail to train top-tier models, they can still make money just by subleasing computing power.
But buying GPUs doesn’t guarantee they can be used. Many data centers are still under construction, with delays piling up. Investor Chamath worries that by 2027, a batch of GPUs will just sit idle because the data centers aren’t built or powered yet. Even if they are put into use smoothly, the rental income might not cover financing costs.
It’s also getting harder to borrow money. CoreWeave’s batch of bonds once dropped to 78% of face value this month. That means bonds originally promising to repay $100 principal at maturity are now selling for $78, corresponding to an annualized yield over 16%. Gartner even predicts that by 2030, over 80% of emerging AI cloud providers will no longer operate independently due to bankruptcy, acquisitions, or other reasons.
Musk believes the bond market has recently started shutting the door on AI computing power companies lacking other revenue sources. He mentioned SpaceX has Starlink…
#StorageChipStocksFallAgain, AIInvestmentReturnConcernsGrowVolume retreats first, price still holding
The most striking thing in today's market is not the rise or fall, but the "divergence" between price and capital. The total open interest across the network dropped by 1.15% in one day, remaining at 139.466 billion; contract turnover plummeted by 39.82%, down to only 87.708 billion. BTC is still hovering above 80,500, ETH is holding at 2,350, and SOL is circling around 101, with all three major assets showing volatility under 0.25%.
However, positions have simultaneously withdrawn: BTC open interest down 1.65%, ETH down 2.63%, SOL down 1.83%. Prices have not broken down, but chips are being collected first, which looks more like large funds reducing exposure rather than panic selling. With no hard data on Monday, a 40% volume shrinkage is not surprising; what’s odd is that open interest also retreated, indicating it’s not just "Monday sluggishness."
ZEC is the only contrarian: open interest increased 3.80% to 2.43 billion, price touched near 1,216; but liquidations reached 3.76 million, surpassing SOL’s 3.31 million. The more hot money squeezes in, the more people get caught out—this strength is not pure.
If BTC loses 80,500, we can only watch if volume can flow back to fill the gap; for ZEC’s chasing method, don’t catch the last leg. The people haven’t left the seat, but half the chairs are already empty.
Therefore, for now, only do one thing: don’t add positions to the three major mainstream coins, don’t chase ZEC at highs, reduce overall positions one more notch, and wait for volume to return before discussing direction.

Through gas fees, token launches, staking, and burn mechanisms, Binance has successfully converted its massive traffic and wealth effect into the intrinsic value of the token.
The upcoming new L1 plan indeed represents a clear demand expectation.
However, investment cannot rely solely on hindsight; the $743 price means the market has already fully priced in the current ecosystem dividends.
Its future growth potential depends not only on whether the new L1 can truly develop an independent ecosystem but also on facing the risks of centralized regulatory scrutiny.
Understanding it is meant for rationally assessing the current odds, not for blind regret.#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Currently, CME FedWatch pricing shows that the market consensus is to keep rates unchanged in October, with a very high probability of a pause in rate hikes. The market's focus is not on whether to raise rates, but on the post-meeting statement and what policy space will be left for December.
This meeting is not a quarterly meeting and will not update the dot plot. The core highlights are concentrated on the policy statement wording + the Chair's press conference remarks.
⚠️ Three major variables
1. Inflation resilience
Oil prices remain high, and geopolitical conflicts continue to raise inflation risks. If Fed officials believe inflation is not falling as expected, they may deliver a hawkish signal in their remarks, implying the option to raise rates remains in December. This could cause the US dollar index and US Treasury yields to rebound, putting pressure on risk assets.
2. US economy and employment
US economic and employment data remain strong, giving the Fed confidence to maintain high rates. An overheating economy will prevent the Fed from turning to easing too early, prolonging the duration of high rates, which continues to pressure long-duration assets, crypto, and tech stocks.
3. Internal committee divisions
Views within the Fed are not unified; some officials worry about inflation rebounding, while others fear that high rates will gradually harm the economy. These differing voices may cause ambiguous statements, leading to market volatility and whipsawing between bulls and bears.

Short-term Risk: ETF Capital Outflow
From October 22 to 23, the net outflow of US spot BTC ETFs totaled approximately $773.5 million, weakening the previous three consecutive days of capital inflows.
Support to Watch: $80,000
If BTC holds this level and climbs back above $82,000, the short-term rebound will have more confirmation significance; if it breaks down effectively, further pullbacks need to be guarded against.
This Week's Focus: Federal Reserve Meeting
The policy decision and future interest rate guidance on October 27-28 may affect the US dollar, US stock market, and risk appetite in the crypto market.
In a nutshell: BTC is currently more like being in a tug-of-war near a key support level, and the trend reversal cannot be confirmed solely by whale buying or short-term rebounds. Pay attention to whether $80,000 can hold, whether $82,000 can be effectively broken through, and whether ETF capital inflows resume sustainably.
Market data referenced is as of reports available on October 26, 2026; prices change in real time, and the above does not constitute investment advice. Why does a hacker theft, accounting for only a few ten-thousandths of SOL's market cap, cause the price to repeatedly test the $100 level? 📉 The answer may not lie with the hacker. First, let's look at the event itself. According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the hacker stole 9,408 SOL from 49 victims via a compromised wallet, involving about $954,000, with a single largest theft of 1,636 SOL (about $166,000). Viewed in isolation, this amount is almost negligible compared to SOL's daily trading volume of several billion dollars. The issue is not "how much was lost," but "how it was lost." The attack targeted Bloomtrading user wallets, not the Solana underlying protocol. This means it impacts the trust premium at the application/custodial layer, not the security narrative of the chain itself. However, the market does not make such fine distinctions in the face of negative news—when the price is already fragile, any security headline becomes an excuse to sell. The real pressure comes from the resonance of technical and capital factors. From the 30-minute chart, SOL has been declining from the stage high of 102.73, dipping as low as 100.29, with clear resistance from moving averages above, weak rebound strength, and dominant selling pressure. The $100 mark is not only a psychological integer level but also a major support indicated by multiple analytical frameworks; the secondary support below is near 95.70; the 102–103 range above has shifted from support to short-term resistance. In other words, the hacker event occurred at the level whereOil prices haven't retreated, and BTC hovering around 80,000 is making people anxious. What should we really focus on, oil or risk appetite? The most direct observation from watching the market these past two days: BTC is fluctuating around 80,000, as if waiting for a signal unrelated to itself. The original text mentioned oil returning to 60, BTC looking at 90,000 or even 100,000. This chain sounds logical, but what the market is truly trading may not be oil itself, but the transmission of inflation expectations cooling → easing space opening → risk appetite warming. Oil is just a trigger, not the answer. The key number is here: the extent to which oil prices fall from their highs directly determines whether the market is willing to price in easing early. If oil just moves sideways, BTC hovering around 80,000 is a typical waiting-type consolidation, with weak willingness to chase prices above and support below, making the rhythm grinding. Looking at sector strength is clearer. BTC is the anchor, ETH follows passively, among altcoins ARB still faces downward pressure on the daily chart and capital heat has cooled. The original text says to short on rebounds and trade quickly in and out, essentially short-term funds are unwilling to stay long. APR is mentioned as having strong control and able to rise but not recommended to enter, which actually exposes structural problems in altcoins: they can be pumped but not held, chasing in easily leads to being stuck. At such times, funds prefer to stay in BTC waiting for macro signals rather than spreading to altcoins; rotation is contracting, not expanding. The bullish path: oil falls → inflation expectations cool → US Treasury yields decline → BTC recovers first, ETH and altcoins follow with catch-up gains, with BTC moving first and altcoins later. Potential risk: if oil fluctuates repeatedly, easing expectations are delayed, and the 80,000 consolidation may evolveOverlaying the Gann lines from the 2021 cycle and this cycle — the structure is strikingly similar, but there is one difference $BTC
Using the 2021 high of 69000 and the 2022 low of 15400 as anchors to draw the Gann angle lines: after Bitcoin started the first wave up from 15400, it made a same-level pullback above the 2/1 line, and as soon as the correction ended, the next same-level rise followed
Then using the same method to draw this cycle — anchored at the high of 126000 and the low of 57800. If this wave rising from 57800 is the first wave of the bull market, then the decline starting from 87395 is a pullback against this wave
Putting the two charts side by side, the framework is very similar $ETH
But one detail is worth noting: this cycle is clearly faster than the last
I pondered a bit, it might be related to the market itself — more participants and higher capital efficiency. Looking back at mature markets like the S&P, Nasdaq, and gold, the pace at different stages is never fixed; same-level rises and corrections don’t necessarily take the same amount of time
Of course, a larger scale doesn’t necessarily mean the market will accelerate; this is just a phenomenon worth keeping an eye on
So I’m not fixated on whether "this cycle can exactly match the last one in time and price" — that would be like carving a mark on a boat to find a sword. What really matters is whether the core structure still holds: $APR
If the drop from 87395 is truly a pullback, then once the pullback bottom appears, it will be followed by a same-level rise like the black segment in chart 2
History doesn’t simply repeat, but patterns often leave cluesRetail investors are charging forward, while whales are adding margin
BTC is idling around 79,800, ETH at 2,310 continues to lag behind. The most striking is the trading volume: last night, a one-hour dump hit 53.69 million, but this afternoon it shrank directly to 48 million, turning the dump into a grind. $ETH
What are the big players doing? A whale holds $396 million worth of BTC+ETH long positions, with ETH liquidation price set at 2,181. Last night it was lifted just $30 away, and at midnight urgently added 9.21 million USDC margin to survive. What are retail investors doing? The overall ETH long-short ratio is 1.82, with long accounts nearly twice the short ones; but among the largest holding accounts, 34 are long and 94 are short. To translate: retail investors are charging, big players are waiting. Even more painfully, the 30-day BTC transfer volume from retail to Binance surged from 5.5 billion to 10.75 billion, hitting a 6-month high; while whales decreased from 5.9 billion to 3.8 billion in the same period. $BTC
This rebound is driven by retail investors and is unstable. If BTC fails to break out with volume near 80,500, or ETH cannot reclaim 2,360-2,390, it’s a short opportunity. Only if volume supports a stable hold above 80,500 / 2,420 should you reconsider. Don’t compete with whales on toughness. #BTC现货ETF资金反复，市场买盘能否企稳？ Bitcoin has always dropped after past midterm elections. But one thing most people overlook is that in the past, Bitcoin only completed its cycle bottom after the midterm elections. So the decline is just a correlation, not a causation.
This time, Bitcoin has already completed its cycle bottom, so this round of decline may not repeat. Bitcoin is very likely to have bottomed out before this year's midterm elections, and those waiting for a crash will miss out. We've seen this situation at previous cycle bottoms, and this scene may play out again.I thought the hardware wallet's test was "keep the keys safe," but unexpectedly the email added a test: "Please identify strangers wearing official uniforms." In the crypto world, anti-scam efforts sometimes require doubling as a gatekeeper 😂
FOUNDATION announced that spam emails have been impersonating its official domain, possibly involving one or more leaked Cloudflare API keys; the team has revoked all related keys and shut down the malicious domains involved in the emails. The Passport hardware wallet was not affected.
My judgment is that this should ring the alarm about the "trustworthiness of official emails" rather than directly equating it to a wallet breach. Domain identity being impersonated lowers recipients' vigilance; however, the email channel and hardware wallet are different security boundaries, and conflating them can lead to misjudgments. I separate "looking official" from "content verified": uniforms can be borrowed, but trust cannot be exempt from inspection.I took a look at the recent ETF fund flows, liquidation data, and market trends. Currently, it feels like a short-term bearish trend, but it's still too early to say the bull market is over. There are several main reasons: 1. Recently, there are signs of capital withdrawal. On October 22 and 23, the US BTC spot ETFs had consecutive net outflows totaling about $773 million, indicating that buying has indeed weakened recently. However, based on just these two days of data, it cannot be confirmed that institutions have started a sustained exit. 2. Part of this decline was caused by long liquidations. On October 24, within just 4 hours, about $436 million worth of positions in the crypto market were forcibly liquidated, with over 90% being long positions. Simply put, many people thought the price had dropped enough and opened long positions, but the price kept falling, triggering liquidations that further pushed the price down. So, this rapid drop is not necessarily all due to active selling; leveraged liquidations also amplified the decline. 3. The key point to watch next is whether the price can hold around $80,000. If BTC falls below $80,000 but quickly rebounds, it indicates there might still be capital stepping in at the bottom. But if it fails to hold and each rebound is weaker, or it continues to break lower supports, then it can no longer be simply considered a shakeout, and caution is needed as the bull market might really be weakening. 4. I think the most critical factor is whether there is capital willing to enter the market. If ETFs start to see sustained inflows again, spot buying[Pharaoh's Market Watch]
The October FOMC rate decision is about to be announced this week. Can Bitcoin ride this tailwind to break through 84,000?
Pharaoh says straight up, don’t pop the champagne yet. This FOMC isn’t a "free pass"; it’s a "life-or-death test." The market is betting on a pause, but Powell’s tone might be harsher than a rate hike.
First, let’s see how the market is positioned. CME data shows the probability of holding rates steady in October is as high as 85% to 87%.
So where’s the uncertainty? It’s all in Powell and the dot plot.
First, inflation isn’t dead yet. September core CPI rose 0.3% month-over-month, and PPI year-over-year hit 6.3%. If Powell insists at the press conference that "inflation remains too high and a hike is needed in December," then the October pause is just a "fake move." The dollar and US Treasury yields would spike immediately, and Bitcoin would get hammered again.
Second, the balance sheet reduction is still a sharp knife. Powell has consistently advocated aggressive balance sheet cuts, aiming to reduce the Fed’s balance sheet to several trillion dollars. Liquidity could snap at any moment.
Third, the mess of the government shutdown. The US government has been shut down for over three weeks, key economic data releases are delayed, and the Fed is essentially making decisions blindfolded. This increases uncertainty, and capital is reluctant to take heavy positions.
What does this mean for Bitcoin? If October really pauses and Powell softens his tone, the negative factors will be fully priced in, and Bitcoin has a chance to break through 84,000. But if there’s a hint of a December hike, Bitcoin might bounce briefly then test 78,000! $BTC $ETH #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 When AI stocks fall, does the crypto market also cool down?📉
According to CoinDesk on October 26, there is an easily overlooked reason for this round of price weakness: the "AI rally" in Asian tech stocks took another hit, with Goldman Sachs cutting the target price of South Korea's KOSPI index by 25%, dragging risk sentiment down together.
On the same day, $BTC dropped to about $79,800, and $SOL fell 2%, barely holding near $100.
The logic I see is: many funds now hold both AI tech stocks and crypto assets, both considered "high risk, high volatility." When AI stocks get their valuations cut, these funds tend to reduce positions across the board, making it hard for crypto to stay unaffected.
So this week, besides watching the Federal Reserve, I will also keep an eye on the Nasdaq and Asian tech stocks. If AI stocks stabilize, the crypto price rebound will have more confidence.
Do you think the crypto market is currently more influenced by the Federal Reserve or by AI stocks?
This is my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice This time, Brother 800 wants to talk about a different topic with everyone. In the future, will the storage chip market be dictated by buyers or sellers? For many years, the storage chip industry has had one characteristic: when supply exceeds demand, prices plummet and manufacturers' profits shrink; when demand exceeds supply, prices rise and profits explode. But I think this round of the market might really be different! Did you know? Hynix management previously warned that by 2027, the globalNo US license, no UK authorization: Mobilum's "global payments" currently exist only in PPT presentations
Mobilum promotes a global payment network externally, but it lacks an independent US payment license and UK FCA crypto asset authorization. Its core qualifications are concentrated in Poland and Lithuania, covering only parts of the European Economic Area, far from true globalization. Although it once cooperated with Wyre to try to enter the US market, this was a third-party temporary channel, not a license operated independently by Mobilum. After Wyre's business changes, this US channel has long lost stable support.
The underlying card issuer Quicko, which it originally relied on, had its license revoked by Polish regulators in early 2026, breaking the card issuing chain, and there is still no publicly stable alternative card issuer. Mobilum itself is a micro Fintech delisted from the Canadian CSE and traded OTC, with weak capital reserves, holding only a thin EU VASP qualification. Card issuance and fund reserves all rely on external third-party institutions.
It only has a white-label outsourcing cooperation with Core and has no capital stake in CORE. SatPay wants to penetrate mainstream consumer markets in Europe and America, with the US and UK being two unavoidable major markets. Without corresponding regional regulatory licenses, "global payments" can only remain at the promotional level. Coupled with Core lacking primary VC backing and continuous withdrawal of validation nodes, the expectation of achieving large-scale payment fee income through Mobilum is difficult to realize in the short term.The hardest hit was exactly the bottom.
