A return flow of 1.08 billion USD in three days—is it a "real reversal" or a "false move"?
Looking at the ETF data, the Bitcoin spot funds have had net inflows for three consecutive trading days, directly pushing the net inflow for October back to 461 million.
BlackRock and Fidelity absorbed the majority, and the buying was indeed widespread. But one detail is worth pondering: in the past three rounds where Bitcoin rose over 50%, the daily average ETF net inflow was over 200 million USD, while since July this year, the daily average has only been 86 million.
In other words, this return flow is real, but the speed has not yet reached the "ignition" level.
For Ethereum, the ETF single-day net inflow was 29.4 million, with Grayscale contributing the bulk, but on a 30-day scale it is still a net outflow hole. SOL had a single-day net inflow of 10.67 million, the smallest volume, and its confirmation effect on the trend is also the weakest.
Zijin's replenishment is the first step; sustainability is the second. If no action is taken (currently the market pricing maintains a probability of over 90% that interest rates remain unchanged), the real test is just beginning.
This is only a market record and does not constitute investment advice.

#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？
#美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 Until then, BTC’s reaction may be more about positioning and sentiment than a genuine shift in macro conditions.
I’d rather see BTC reclaim $80K and hold it after the initial news-driven move than chase a relief rally that could fade as quickly as it started.
#USIranHormuzTalks 1. Current Position
OKX BTC-USDT around 79,840.5 (13:22, -0.45%); 24H range 79,455.8 ~ 80,849.9; other levels 79,821.7 (12:08), 80,040.2 (09:53)
Last night US stocks surged, but BTC did not follow: S&P +0.70% at 7,676.77, Nasdaq +0.82%, Dow +0.28%, Philly Semiconductor +2.82% (Anthropic filed S-1 igniting AI rally), while BTC remains below 80,000. This is the most important divergence tonight: the risk appetite recovery in stocks has not transmitted to the crypto space.
Three pieces of evidence supporting this divergence: Coinbase premium index has been negative for 33 consecutive days (-0.126%~-0.15%, weak US spot buying); BTC market dominance rose to 57.8%~60.1% (funds are only contracting internally within crypto towards BTC, no new money inflow); Strategy last week (10/19~25) had zero purchases and used $204.9 million to repurchase preferred shares (holding 848,517 units, average price $75,446) — major real buyers have stopped.
#美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 每卖出100韩元的产品，就能留下约76韩元的营业利润。 这是 SK 海力士上一季度交出的利润率。2026年二季度，公司营收约79.32万亿韩元，营业利润约60.54万亿韩元。看这种公司，我会先把“AI需求很强”放在一边，算一算需求到底给利润表带来了多大变化。至少从这组数字看，存储涨价和高价值产品的销售，已经变成了实实在在的盈利。 接下来要看的是，这么高的盈利水平还能维持多久。 SK 海力士将在10月28日公布三季度业绩。我更关注 HBM4 的放量情况：公司此前披露，HBM4 已在二季度开始批量出货，下半年计划继续爬坡。三季度能否把这部分增长体现在收入和利润里，会直接影响市场对后续几个季度的判断。 这里有一笔很容易被忽略的账。订单增加，要扩产；新产能落地，又要先花钱。卖得更多当然是好事，但如果为了增长不断增加投入，最后能留下多少现金，也得一起算。 公司8月批准了约54万亿韩元的新厂投资，涉及龙仁Y2和清州M17，属于分多年推进的建设计划，并不是这一季度就全部花掉。这个投入规模，也让我更想听管理层怎么解释后面的需求和产能安排：哪些需求已经有客户承接，哪些还需要随着市场变化逐步投入。 所以我Starting from the afternoon of October 21, BTC and ETH both moved downward, stopping at noon on the 24th. BTC dropped by 5677 USD, 6.7%, over 68 hours. ETH fell by 244 USD, 9.7%, over 44 hours.
At the stopping points, each left a low point on both sides. BTC was at 79220, ETH at 2282. Both positions still hold now.
The rebound was not urgent. BTC touched 80844 and then retreated, ETH reached 2344 and lost momentum. Based on their respective drops, both only recovered about 25% to 30%, not even reaching 38%.
The low points were tested twice; I compared these two times. BTC's first test was on the 24th, the second in the early morning of the 26th. The second test had 40% less volume and a 20% smaller rebound. ETH dropped more, with nearly 60% less volume and a 40% smaller rebound.
The low points were raised slightly, indicating someone was buying. Each rebound was smaller than the last, showing buyers are not in a hurry.
For now, I treat the upper boundaries as references, not as solid resistance. BTC's 80844 and ETH's 2344 were each touched only once, not enough evidence to block the price. I focus on the closing price.
If the close is above 80844, BTC's recent drop is considered repaired, and we look upward toward the retracement level and the mid-term moving average above. If the close is below 79220, the drop is not yet repaired, and we set another level down based on the drop. ETH uses the same criteria, with numbers replaced by 2344 and 2282.
My current bias is toward the downside. Both are still below the three moving averages, and the rebound hasn't even reached 38%. This bias is easy to change; it only requires the two upper levels to close above.
Finally, a few off-topic remarks.
Using the same rules, in backtesting I can accept a 30% retracement without emotion. With real money, I want to close positions after just a 3% drop. The rules haven't changed a bit, but I still want to exit during the toughest periods. So now, when I judge whether something will succeed, I first see if I would act when feeling uncomfortable.Looking at OKX's earnings season forecast targets this week, wow, they're all top tech companies.
The big players are busy figuring out how to expand capacity and boost profits, while I'm here calculating how to maximize the returns on my 553 XP points, climbing from Growth Helper to the Expert Leaderboard~
There are three days left until the weekly leaderboard closes on the 29th, so I'll pick two tech giants from the weekly leaderboard to study carefully and try to grab some of the weekly leaderboard bonus pool.
First up, SK Hynix.
My judgment is straightforward: the earnings report will most likely beat expectations, and it’s almost a sure thing.
The logic is so simple it’s almost boring. HBM capacity is sold out, DRAM prices are still rising, and the storage sector has long shifted from a cutthroat price war to a seller’s market. A manufacturer sitting at the fattest spot in the supply chain—if their earnings report looks bad now, that would be real news. So the question isn’t whether they can make money, but how much they make.
Next, Robinhood.
My judgment is also that it will likely beat, but this time it depends on whether the crypto market shows some respect.
Crypto overall has been trending up these past few months, retail sentiment hasn’t faded, and options are lively. Robinhood’s business model relies on taking a cut; the more people in the arena and the more active the betting, the better it is for them. So revenue, especially from crypto and options, is very likely solid. The HBM trade is becoming a capacity allocation story, not just an AI demand story.
When memory inventory gets this tight, chipmakers face a choice: prioritize high margin HBM or supply conventional DRAM. That competition can push memory prices higher, but it also makes supply normalization the biggest risk to the trade.
SK Hynix has the advantage today, but Samsung's progress shows that leadership is not guaranteed.
#SamsungQ3ProfitOutlook Why is it that the longer you research a coin, the harder it becomes to cut your losses?
The most dangerous kind of research is when you uncover more and more problems with the project, yet your reasons for holding on become increasingly justified.
Before buying, you look at the team, revenue, unlock schedules, and valuation; after getting stuck, the team selling coins is called improving liquidity, user decline is called an industry downturn, and breaking support is called a shakeout by the main players.
You use all your research skills, except to test whether you bought wrong.
There’s a psychological account hidden here: having spent so much time and gone through so much information, selling now would mean all that research was for nothing. So besides the purchase cost, there’s an additional layer of reluctance to give up.
But the market doesn’t pay you for research time. Understanding a project doesn’t mean its token is worth holding: business growth doesn’t necessarily bring token demand, and the money raised by the project won’t automatically be shared with token holders.
A practical self-check is: if you were empty-handed today, with the same information and price, would you still want to buy? If the answer is no, you should reassess your position and not let “I’ve held it for so long” make the decision for you.
Remember: research should clarify your exit conditions. If in the end you only have more and more reasons to hold, you may have stopped being an investor and become a free PR agent for the project team.#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ I think SK Hynix's Q3 might fall short of expectations, mainly because people may be overestimating HBM's profit-making ability. No matter how many orders there are, actual delivery matters, and ramping up production and new lines could still push costs higher. If the regular DRAM and NAND businesses perform just average, the overall profit might not be as good as imagined. The worst thing in earnings season is when a company makes a decent profit, but the market responds with: "Is that it?" Many people no longer remember the name Arbistar, the Spanish Ponzi scheme that collapsed in 2020. Today, the Spanish police released news that wallets associated with it before and after the collapse transferred over 1.1 billion USD worth of Bitcoin. When I see such news in a bear market, I always take a closer look.
On the market, BTC is now hovering around 79,700, with a 24-hour low of 79,455, missing the 80,000 mark again. The fee rate is 0.01%, with neither panic nor rush to accumulate; the contract open interest is still over 2.6 billion USD, and no major withdrawals are seen.
My view is that breaking 80,000 itself is not scary; what's scary is if it breaks and no one catches it. There is still volume supporting below for now. If it really crashes to a new low, that’s not a signal to bottom-fish, it’s a different matter. Just watch and keep your hands still.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 This $SNDK long position, 75x leverage, opened at 1235.7, current price 1286.6, floating profit 308.93%.
Three numbers govern this position: buffer 3.95%, resistance 1300, target 1350.
Buffer 3.95% — if it retraces 3.95%, this 308% profit resets to zero. With 75x leverage, there is no margin for error, no room to "wait and see." It's 0.38 percentage points thicker than the evening's 3.57% because it moved 5.1 points further, not because my judgment is more accurate. Positions with thin cushions have no right to talk about the big picture, only about rules.
Resistance at 1300 is 13.4 points (1.04%) overhead. This integer level is critical — if broken, 1350 can be expected; if not, this is the short-term top. 1280 has long been established (6.6 points below), but holding steady does not mean it can hold; a pullback confirmation is standard. If it falls back, this breakout must be questioned.
Review: Last night 1269, 202%, 2.69% → Evening 1281.5, 278%, 3.57% → Now 1286.6, 308.93%, 3.95%. The cushion is gradually thickening, but its nature hasn't changed — still a thin cushion position.
Trading discipline: protect principal and push up, no further exposure expansion. Once over 300%, half should be taken off the table, base position waits for 1300 confirmation. No adding positions, no holding losing positions. If it holds 1300, watch for 1350; if it falls back to 1235.7, admit the mistake. $BTC $ETH
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 There is a rather scary statistic: among the top traders on the four perpetual platforms Hyperliquid, Lighter, dYdX, and Pacifica, only 9% are long positions.
My first reaction was that it was another panic hype. Checking the original data, it’s the combined top 100 accounts by 7-day profit, with longs at $324 million versus shorts at $3.11 billion. The short positions are more than nine times the value of the longs; the numbers are not fabricated. But I’ve seen the same metric flip from 94% short to 80% long within 24 hours, a swing of 74 percentage points, so I treat it as a thermometer, not a steering wheel.
HYPE is now around 77.8, fluctuating between 76.7 and 80.6 in 24 hours, moving sideways enough to make people sleepy.
I’ve learned my lesson: the more I look at this data, the fewer trades I place, and my wallet stays more secure.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Many people shout "recovery" when they see ETF inflows, but after reviewing the data, I just want to say: this is not a recovery market at all, it's a single-plank bridge market📊
Let's sort out the capital flow: In the past two days, BTC spot ETFs had a total net outflow of 774 million USD, the selling pressure has made the market very uncomfortable. Yesterday finally saw an inflow, a single-day net inflow of 110.3 million USD, but this money almost entirely came from BlackRock's IBIT, while the other ETF varieties basically remained flat with no capital movement.
What does this mean?
It's not a collective bottom-fishing by institutions, but just a single test move by a leading giant.
The volume is also insufficient to support a reversal: counting the whole of October, BTC spot ETFs still had a net outflow of 202 million USD, the gap remains.
ETH is even quieter, with yesterday's ETF net outflow of 88.6 million USD, and ETHA alone outflowed 104.7 million, the selling pressure continues to release.
The market also confirms this logic: BTC is now stuck at 79,700, continuously pressured below the 80,000 threshold.
The capital bleeding rate has slowed, but the market structure is far from repaired.
In summary: before the FOMC announcement, this wave is merely a test, not a counterattack.
Do not mistake IBIT's single purchase as a signal for a new trend start.
Coincidentally, ZECW and UAI in the group successfully captured gains this wave, again confirming the current market is severely differentiated, broad rallies have not arrived, only local opportunities can be seized.
The profit and loss calendar is here; the premise of stable gains is understanding the true and false signals of capital, not being fooled by short-term single data points into jumping in. I often look at on-chain prediction markets and first flip through the settlement rules, with the odds reversed at the end. When trading crypto, you can always argue about whether it's expensive or cheap, but when predicting an event, you have to clearly define what conditions count as the event occurring.
Stablecoin settlement and recording on-chain are quite crypto. But the odds are just judgments expressed by participants using money; if funds crowd on one side, it doesn't necessarily mean it's closer to the truth.
Especially when the question is vaguely written, I get a bit distracted: the money is on-chain, but if there's a dispute in the end, who will make the final call?Binance will remove 12 spot trading pairs on October 30. I counted them one by one, and they are all /BTC pairs—AAVE/BTC, TAO/BTC, ICP/BTC, PENDLE/BTC, XAUT/BTC, etc. There isn't a single USDT pair.
This detail is more interesting than the delisting itself. What's being cut isn't the coins, but the pairs that no one trades: altcoins paired with Bitcoin have had their liquidity drained long ago, so they're just placeholders now.
AAVE spot is currently at 132.96, fluctuating between 129.5 and 138.8 in the last 24 hours. The coin is fine; it's the trading pairs that are dead.
I also have a few BTC pairs in my wallet that I haven't touched for years; the exchange cleaned them up before I did.
#本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 Six categories clearly not to buy tonight
Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Intel, Coinbase, Strategy, Caterpillar, Mastercard, Merck — all releasing earnings reports between 10/29 and 10/30 early morning (Alphabet confirmed after market on 10/28, conference call early morning 10/29). Opening new positions tonight = directly betting on the event.
Meta: The pricing discount for the $95 billion equity financing has not been finalized, and "NVIDIA investing $3 billion in Meta" is a circular transaction narrative (the market has already expressed clear doubts), diluting while buying each other — direction uncertain.
New cloud (CRWV/NBIS/IREN/HUT/RIOT): Musk warns "over 200 companies face massive death and consolidation," CoreWeave’s 2032 bond yield once near 15%.
Defense/Aerospace (LMT etc.): Lockheed reported earnings on 10/22 (revenue $20.711 billion +11%, EPS 7.97, backlog $291.984 billion record high, raised full-year guidance), closed last night +5.13% at 635.2, about -7.7% from 52-week high 688.55, better to wait for a pullback near 600 than chase highs.
Leveraged/inverse ETFs, single stock options (volatility structure on the eve of decisions is most unfavorable for holding leverage).
#SK海力士Q3财报在即，HBM4能否提振盈利？ #The October FOMC rate decision will be announced this week
The FOMC opens at midnight on the 29th, how much longer can this hawkish stance from Waller last? How should AI and BTC position themselves?
Brothers, the FOMC is at 2 AM tonight, and the market has already priced in a "hold steady" — rate futures show over 90% probability of no change in October. But the real drama isn’t in the decision itself, it’s in Waller’s speech at 2:30 AM.
Is Waller hawkish? Most likely yes.
This guy was famously hawkish during his Fed days. Although he’s been softer in words recently, with inflation expectations soaring to 4.7%, he can’t afford to sound dovish now. Bloomberg put it bluntly: Waller’s dilemma is to reassure the market "we’re still fighting inflation" while explaining why there’s no rate hike this time. Translation: hawkish words, steady hands, a December hike is the script.
How to position AI?
The Nasdaq closed at 26,169 yesterday, up 0.82%. But if Waller stays tough on the 29th, tech stocks — these long-duration assets — will be hit first. My strategy: don’t chase before the meeting, wait for the dip from the 2:30 AM sell-off. The AI narrative isn’t broken; what’s broken is valuation sensitivity to rates.
What about BTC? Current price 79,756, can’t even hold above 80,000. Classic "playing dead before the meeting." BTC is now the most sensitive to macro liquidity; if Waller’s hawkish, 78,000 is seen; if he softens, 82,000 gets tested. But don’t bet on direction, wait until he finishes speaking before moving.
The decision itself is no drama, the press conference is the real thunder.The number of whale shorts keeps piling up, yet ZEC remains pinned above $1200. This round, I'm siding with the bulls first.
Current price is 1274, 24-hour low is 1211. The perpetual funding rate is negative, at -0.0033% for the first tier, meaning shorts pay longs every 8 hours, with $150 million in contract positions open. With such heavy short pressure, the price just won't go down.
There's also something tonight: a Zcash co-founder proposed stopping the automatic community funding plan, saying the pool already has over $125 million. According to short logic, a coin starting to shrink should be hammered down more, but it can't be pushed down.
When the market can't be pushed down, I won't say much; let's first see how long the $1200 line holds.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Today, Bitcoin and Ethereum have been fluctuating all day, with volatility even less than the weekend's market. Bitcoin has been trying to hold steady at 80,000, but every time it reaches the 80,000 mark, it falls back. Is the pressure really that strong?
According to Bitcoin ETF funds data on October 26, there was a net inflow of $110.3 million that day.
However, net fund inflow alone cannot determine an upward trend. Currently, it is just a phase of returning funds, not a sustained inflow. Last Thursday and Friday saw relatively large outflows, totaling $774 million. We still need to pay attention to the subsequent ETF fund inflow situation.
On October 26, Ethereum's spot ETF had an outflow of $88.6 million that day.
The fund situation is not optimistic and is completely different from Bitcoin's. Ethereum ETF funds are still continuously flowing out. Although there have been net inflows during this period, they are negligible—millions when inflowing, tens of millions to hundreds of millions when outflowing. It is a completely different situation from Bitcoin.
The market uncertainty is currently high, and many funds prioritize allocating to Bitcoin rather than Ethereum or other high-risk products. From the current perspective, Ethereum's trend is relatively weak. Only when the fund situation improves will its rebound be stronger; otherwise, the upward momentum will remain weak. $PUMP
Regarding meme coin dumping, I only recognize one thing: whether what's moved is unrealized profit or principal.
This time it's the former. The Solana trader who moved 300 million PUMP tokens to Binance has cumulatively cashed out $8.23 million on-chain, depositing in batches over 6 days. At the current price of 0.00414, that's about 1.24 million. PUMP is hovering around 0.00414 today, down over 2% in 24 hours, with a low of 0.00409; Binance spot prices are similar. The money has been settled and moved out, which is different from a panic sell and run.
I've seen too many cases where dumping is called a shakeout; this time it's reversed, unrealized profits exiting are being called a dump.
Whether it comes back after moving depends on his next move. I'll first note the destination of this 1.24 million.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 BTC is currently at 80,300, with 68.8% of accounts long, while Binance's active sellers account for 68.9% — positions are holding, but money is selling. Long liquidations account for 77%, 79,100–79,200 is the next dense liquidation zone, and short positions above 81,300 have even more fuel. $BTC #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $AAVE
On October 30, Binance will remove 12 spot trading pairs. I counted them one by one, and they are all /BTC pairs—AAVE/BTC, TAO/BTC, ICP/BTC, PENDLE/BTC, XAUT/BTC, etc. There isn't a single USDT pair.
This detail is more interesting than the delisting itself. What's being cut isn't the coins, but the pairs that no one trades: altcoins paired with Bitcoin have had their liquidity drained long ago, and are just occupying space.
AAVE spot is currently at 132.96, fluctuating between 129.5 and 138.8 in 24 hours. The coin is fine; what's dying are the trading pairs.
I also have a few BTC pairs in my wallet that I haven't touched for years, but the exchange is cleaning them up before I do.
#本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 The market in one sentence: big players are playing dead, retail investors are getting hit, and ETH bulls are still stubbornly holding on.
BTC is grinding back and forth between 79,800 and 80,000, just like you five minutes before clocking out—sitting at your desk but your mind is already gone. The retail long-short ratio has dropped to 0.4861; after massive liquidations, bulls don’t even have the strength to be optimistic; the big players’ long-short ratio is 0.77, flat longs watching, bears dominating, clearly signaling "I won’t dump, but I won’t catch either." There’s still a perpetual sell order of about $19.6 million hanging at 79,850 above, like a ceiling with a sign saying "Don’t look up." $ETH
ETH is even more conflicted. The price hovers around 2,300, but the long-short ratio remains at 2.46, indicating bullish exposure hasn’t been fully cleared. In the past 24 hours, ETH bulls have been liquidated for $17.47 million, while bears only $10.2 million; bulls have taken most of the pain. The funding rate is still the highest at 0.01%, bulls losing money while paying bears—truly "paying to get hit." Even worse, a certain whale’s nearly $400 million long position has a liquidation price at 2,181; last night’s low was 2,282, just $30 away from being taken out, forcing an emergency margin top-up to stay alive.$BTC
On the capital side, BTC saw a net inflow of $171 million in 24 hours, while ETH only $35.72 million; big players clearly favor BTC
Before the meeting, volume shrinks and the market grinds; big players lie flat and won’t catch the knife, retail investors shouldn’t bear the liquidation line for whales. If you’re itching to trade, wait for the FOMC to set the direction first. #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 冰火两重天！美国经济数据撕裂，BTC多头的“救命稻草”来了？ 刚刚，美国9月耐用品订单数据出炉，数据呈现出极其撕裂的“冰火两重天”画面！这对正在死守8万美元关口的加密市场，释放了极其微妙的宏观信号。 我们来看这三组数据有多矛盾： 第一，扣除国防的耐用品订单月率，竟然高达2.2%（前值仅0.3%），大超预期！数据标签直接提示“利空金银”。这说明民用和工业端的硬需求依然强劲，美国经济表面看依然“火热”。 第二，扣除运输的耐用品订单仅0.5%（不及预期）。 第三，最致命的一击：扣除飞机非国防资本耐用品订单（核心资本品）仅录得0.5%，远低于预期的0.7%和前值的1.6%。 专家视角给你拆解背后的宏观大戏： 千万别被那个2.2%的表面繁荣骗了！在经济学中，“核心资本品订单”才是衡量企业真实投资意愿（CapEx）的最核心前瞻指标。它从1.6%断崖式砸到0.5%，说明在高利率的极限施压下，美国企业根本不敢花钱扩产了，实体经济的前瞻性动能正在加速衰竭。 这对美联储意味着什么？意味着“不降息甚至还要加息”的底气正在被抽干。企业不投资，未来的就业和通胀必然会降温。这对于苦苦挣扎的风险资产BTC buy orders are futures limit orders, ETH whales are 5% away from liquidation, SanDisk is supported by AI narrative before earnings
Three assets, three different kinds of "strength"
$BTC buy orders may not be spot
Between $78,000 and $79,000, BTC has over $80 million in buy orders concentrated, but a significant portion comes from futures limit orders, not spot purchases, and can be withdrawn at any time. More importantly, exchange stablecoin reserves have dropped to $60.62 billion, the lowest in nearly 12 months, meaning the "ammunition" for bottom-fishing is shrinking
$ETH $2,180, the life-or-death line for a $214 million whale
Down 13.2% since October. One whale holds 93,184 ETH, a $214 million leveraged long position, and after adding 5.67 million USDC, the liquidation price dropped to about $2,180. Spot ETH ETFs saw $225 million outflows this week, with sustained buying pressure fading
$SNDK before earnings, AI narrative reignites
Pre-market rose to about $1,268, Anthropic filed IPO documents reigniting expectations for AI chips and storage demand, storage sector rose broadly pre-market. Q1 earnings are the test point, market expects revenue of $10.72 billion, focus on NAND pricing and enterprise storage demand
Summary: For BTC, watch if the $78,000-$79,000 limit orders convert to real trades; for ETH, watch the $2,180 whale defense line; for SanDisk, watch if earnings can sustain the AI narrative. The quality of buy orders is more worth monitoring than quantity

Technical interoperability needs to be validated through developers, applications, and fees; the number of ecosystem projects alone is insufficient to create buying pressure. High interest rate expectations will depress the valuation of long-term growth assets.

The OCC gave the final approval last night; it was conditionally approved back in December last year, so this counts as the official launch.
I reviewed the official text, and the bank's responsibilities are clearly stated: managing the reserves of RLUSD and providing custody.
Throughout the document, the letters XRP barely appear.
The most direct beneficiaries are Ripple and its $2.5 billion stablecoin.
If you treat this as a major positive for XRP after waiting for years, I'm a bit hesitant to buy in.
The company is increasingly like a bank, and the coin price doesn't necessarily follow; last week it was at 1.38, now it's 1.31.
I don't hold XRP, so I just watch this kind of news for entertainment and don't chase it.
If we really talk about positive developments landing, the price at least needs to reclaim last week's high.
Do you think the company getting the license counts as a positive for the coin?

#Ripple获美国国家信托银行最终批准 #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 Rate cut? Don't even think about it. The real suspense for the Fed this week is: will there be another rate hike in December?
At 2 AM Beijing time on October 29, the October FOMC rate decision will be announced. Let's look at some numbers first:
1️⃣ Current rate is 3.75%-4.00%, with a 25bp hike in September, the first rate increase since 2023
2️⃣ Rate futures price in about a 92% probability of no change this week
3️⃣ Latest CNBC survey: 93% of respondents expect a pause this week, but 76% expect a hike in December
4️⃣ September CPI year-on-year is 3.7%, with US oil around $101 at the time of the survey, inflation pressure remains
5️⃣ 10-year US Treasury yield fluctuates near the 5% mark
My view: "No change" this week is basically priced in; the real variable is what Waller says about December during the press conference. If the tone is hawkish, risk assets like BTC and ETH may face short-term pressure; if the tone is dovish, a "sell the rumor, buy the fact" style rebound wouldn't be surprising. Personally, I'm cautious and will wait for clear direction after the meeting, no chasing.
Just my personal opinion, not investment advice.

$BTC $ETH $DOOD #美伊讨论霍尔木兹开放方案，油价回落 MicroStrategy $STRC, when this big-eyed guy stops, the market's sky changes. This is not an ordinary shakeout; it's a real supply cut by big money. Strategy not only didn't buy last week but also used over 200 million USD to repurchase preferred shares. What does this mean? It means even the most loyal bulls have to account for interest in a high-yield environment, prioritizing cash flow survival. The big coin $BTC dropped below 80,000 in response, a normal reaction to capital withdrawal. Don't expect infinite bullets from the sky to save you. The heavy trapped positions above mean rushing in now is like catching a flying knife. Long-term bullish is fine, but short-term longs are just asking for a beating. If you short in the short term, you must set stop losses properly. Shorting is shorting; never stubbornly hold without stop loss, or you're just giving away money.
Looking at $ETH Ethereum, BitMine is increasing holdings and heavily staking, paying billions in interest annually. They buy Ethereum now purely as a fixed-income asset, aiming for passive cash flow, not expecting an ecological explosion. Ethereum is already weak with no capital support. If the big coin tests lower support, this hopeless follower will fall the hardest. Control your hands and never catch a flying knife.
The macro backdrop is clear: US Treasury yields hang overhead, and the high-yield environment suppresses risk appetite. Although oil prices have fallen, inflation fundamentals remain, and there is no fresh capital willing to enter the market.

This is the unrealized profit ratio. But the real factors managing this position are not this number, but three others.
First: 15.55%. This is the buffer — the 7.12 points from the current price 45.8 to the cost 52.92, converted into a percentage increase equals 15.55%. If it rises 15.55%, this 336% resets to zero. Note that this is different from the actual drop of 13.45%: the drop is calculated from the opening price, while breakeven is calculated from the current price. The deeper the drop, the harder it is to break even.
Second: 0.25. This is the relative displacement increment since the afternoon. Afternoon was 46.05 with unrealized profit 324.54%; now 45.8 with 336.35%. It dropped 0.25 points, but unrealized profit increased by 11.81 points. This is not because the judgment got more accurate, but because it moved further on its own. Incidentally, the integer level of 46 has officially been broken downward.
Third: 1.74%. This is the distance to 45. If it breaks, 44 is the first target; if not, 45 is the floor for this wave. Note that 46 just broke but hasn’t been confirmed yet; a pullback to confirm is standard.
With these three numbers laid out, the operation is clear: push to breakeven, take profit on the main position, wait for confirmation at 45 on the bottom position. No adding positions, no holding losing positions, no fighting to the end. If it breaks below 45, look to 44; if it recovers 52.92, exit. Do nothing in between. $BTC $ETH

I regard this as a clue of demand resilience; if it drives US Treasury yields higher, it may suppress crypto valuations, which remains a transmission to be verified
The opposite evidence is that growth improvement may also boost risk appetite, so strong data should not be directly equated with BTC decline

Only if the 15-minute close breaks below 79505 and the next candle does not recover, I confirm bearish bias; breaking above 80250 and holding invalidates the bearish bias within the above range #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 $BTC $ETH $DOOD $BZ Oil prices have finally fallen from their highs, which in my view is a very good bottom-fishing signal for the US stock market📈#闪迪存储业务高增长能否延续？
Previously, the biggest burden weighing on technology and storage sectors was the inflation panic caused by the continuous rise in crude oil prices. As long as oil prices remain high, the market will keep worrying about inflation rebounding, making it difficult for Powell to signal a dovish stance, and high interest rate expectations firmly suppress growth stock valuations.
Now that oil prices have fallen, it means a major inflation variable has eased, leaving room for a more accommodative tone in upcoming rate decisions and PCE data.
A series of major events are lined up next: Powell's press conference, US GDP, core PCE, and earnings reports from Hynix $SKHYNIX and SanDisk $SNDK.
If macro inflation expectations cool down with falling oil prices, Powell speaks dovishly, and US Treasury yields decline, it will be a double positive for interest rate-sensitive storage stocks like SOXL, Micron, and SanDisk—fundamentals and macro factors resonating together.
But we must be clear: this is not a free pass to blindly bottom-fish. This recent drop in oil prices could be just a short-term relief, with Middle East geopolitical tensions potentially flaring up again at any time; and if PCE data unexpectedly rises, previous optimistic expectations will be instantly dashed.
We are currently in a window of expectation repair, better suited for buying on dips rather than chasing highs aggressively. The storage sector’s AI HBM demand logic remains intact, and the retreat in oil prices is paving the way for the market.
With each shoe dropping, the conditions for this storage rebound are slowly coming together.When oil prices rise, large holders who stockpile SOL are the first to clear their positions. As oil prices climb this round, the first thing to be recalculated is the interest rate cut scenario. $SOL is a high beta coin most sensitive to interest rate expectations and has historically reacted the fastest. With Middle East supply risks resurfacing, funds that previously bet on rate cuts have to reprice their positions.
SkyAI has completely cleared over 2 million SOL from its holdings, leaving about $223.8 million in cash on the books. Such a large coin holding turning in the same direction is itself a signal.
Where the money goes is even more worth watching—up to about $201.3 million is used for stock buybacks and stock subscriptions at $3 per share. Nearly 90% of the cash is withdrawn from the crypto space and moved into its own stock.
On one hand, large holders are cashing out and exiting; on the other, oil prices are rising amid inflation expectations. Currently, SOL lacks any catalyst to move independently, so both the funding and macro factors are aligned in the same direction.
#中东原油供应风险再起，油价持续走强 In the past three days, BTC has hovered above 80,000 without moving, and the whole market has had only one topic: the Federal Reserve early Thursday morning. Everyone is waiting for that moment—as if once the clock strikes, the direction will automatically emerge.
This afternoon, the market gave the answer in advance.
BTC broke below 80,000, currently at 79,674; ETH is clinging to the edge of 2,300, at 2,305; SOL is the hardest hit, losing triple digits directly, at 99.7.
Ironically, during the three days of sideways movement, the phrase "the longer the consolidation, the stronger the breakout" was repeatedly quoted, and everyone assumed the breakout would be upward.
But what will happen on the fourth day of consolidation?
Those wanting to buy the dip had already maxed out their positions three days ago; they are now the market's existing holders, not new entrants. Those wanting to short were cut early by the dull knife of consolidation and exited the market. What remains is the most dangerous group: they look at the candlesticks and think, "It’s been sideways for so long, how much lower can it go?" So they heavily bet, confidently waiting for Thursday’s data to wrap things up for them.
The market specializes in taking in this kind of confidence.
Breaking below 80,000 is not just crossing a round number in price; it also shatters the psychological defense line of "how much lower can it go?" Once the defense line breaks, below lies the liquidation map: BTC has two long positions lying at 79,200 and 78,800, and even bigger ones stacked at 77,200 and 76,600; ETH’s are lined up at 2,282 and 2,242; SOL’s 9.69 million long positions hang just above 98.
The main event early Thursday morning will not be canceled because of today’s drop. But the market’s direction has never grown out of the news; it grows out of liquidation prices.
The news is just the finger pulling the trigger. And the gun barrel has long been aimed at those fully invested, waiting for the data. Before the rate decision on the 29th, I am more cautious about another dip but not ruling out a rebound.
After 18:00, BTC briefly dipped to 79,505, ETH dropped to around 2,298, then both pulled back. The rebound is not weak, but the hourly charts for both coins still haven't reclaimed the upper resistance. Because there are buyers when prices fall and the pullback doesn't hold, I am not in a hurry to conclude which side has won yet.
Spot snapshot at 20:12 Beijing time: BTC around 79,900, ETH around 2,315. My main judgment is: before the rate decision announcement on the 29th, still expect a retest of tonight's lows. BTC target 79,505–79,455, ETH target 2,301–2,293; this is a zone formed by new lows, 24-hour lows, and 4-hour previous lows, not just arbitrary round numbers. If prices truly break below, the lows could be deeper than this support layer; but if one or two hourly candles quickly recover, I prefer to see a short dip followed by a rebound rather than a continuous decline.
This judgment has boundaries: if BTC closes hourly above 80,175 and ETH above 2,326, and the pullback holds, my bearish bias is invalidated; if two consecutive hourly closes fall below 79,455 and 2,293, the "short dip" view must be withdrawn. The meeting may amplify volatility but cannot be used to explain today's decline. To say the market has stabilized, I want to see a clear full daily candle reclaiming lost ground and not giving it back afterward.
$BTC $ETH For conditional observation only, be aware of volatility risks. #US-Iran discuss Hormuz Strait reopening plan, oil prices fall
Will this impact the macroeconomy and cause $BTC to drop?
The drop in oil prices due to expectations of the Hormuz Strait reopening does not directly negatively affect BTC; from a macro perspective, it is marginally positive but insufficient to reverse the current weakness.
The transmission path is: oil price decline → easing inflation pressure → relaxation of Federal Reserve rate hike constraints. The September CPI energy component rose 20.4% year-on-year, with high oil prices being a key driver of persistent inflation. If the strait truly reopens and oil prices continue to fall, it will create conditions for the Fed to pause rate hikes later. However, the Fed is very likely to take a "hawkish pause" in October, with about an 80% chance of a rate hike in December; the policy turning point has not yet arrived.
Currently, BTC's main pressure is risk aversion sentiment, not oil prices. On October 27, BTC still hovered below $80,000, with traders awaiting inflation, GDP data, and the Fed decision. Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of about $314 million in October.
More importantly, the US-Iran negotiations themselves are fragile. Iran previously denied nearing an agreement, causing oil prices to reverse sharply. If talks break down and oil prices rebound, macro pressures will increase again. In short, the oil price decline is a "nice-to-have" for BTC but unlikely to be a "lifeline" before Fed uncertainties are resolved.Staring at the screen for a long time, I suddenly feel this market is quite darkly humorous.
Today's biggest bearish factor is not some macro data, nor the Federal Reserve, but "our own people" running first.
Arthur Hayes casually said on X, "I sold everything," and casually dumped 6,400 ETH worth $15.2 million. He said it very bluntly: "The market has to fall first before it can rise again."
What’s even more intriguing is that a wallet associated with the Ethereum Foundation sold 2,785 ETH on CoW Swap today at an average price of $2,304, cashing out $6.42 million and immediately converting it into stablecoins.
The project team itself is cashing out at this point, while retail investors are still staring at the candlestick charts waiting for a "bullish rebound."
The ETF side is even more straightforward. On October 27, the US spot Ethereum ETF had a single-day net outflow of $88.58 million, with BlackRock’s ETHA alone withdrawing $104.71 million, setting a record for the largest single-day outflow.
Throughout October, Ethereum ETFs have seen cumulative outflows exceeding $1 billion, more than three times the outflow scale of Bitcoin ETFs.
This is not a technical correction. This is capital voting with its feet.
As for my short position, the average price is 2,583, current price 2,307, floating profit 1069%. The forced liquidation price is far away at 2,779, with more than four hundred dollars in between. You are heavily buying near 2,300,
The game you’re playing is "it should rebound after falling too much"; I’m holding a small position, playing the game of "which direction the money is flowing."
Below is $2,209 #SK 79.6% of Bitcoin is still held by individuals.
Bitcoin is the only major asset still controlled by individuals.
River's chart breaks it down clearly. Among the tradable Bitcoin, individuals hold 79.6%, while funds and ETFs combined only have 8.5%. Individuals hold more than 9 times what institutions do.
Bonds, stocks, and gold have been dominated by institutions for hundreds of years. Bitcoin is different; after more than a decade, the majority is still in the hands of individuals.
Why can ETF flows of just one or two hundred million dollars cause such a stir? Because the 8.5% held by institutions is active money moving in and out of the market daily, while the 79.6% held by individuals mostly stays put. The real driver of daily price changes is the flow of active money, not the size of the total holdings.
River says this will change in the future. Institutional share will only increase, slowly following gold's old path.
But that is a slow-moving variable. Today's structure remains unchanged.
Bitcoin is the only major asset still controlled by individuals. $WLD perpetual 50x short position, opened at 0.4465, currently at 0.4336, floating profit +144.45%.
The idea is very straightforward: a top consolidation with volume but stagnant price, volatility compressed to the extreme, indicating chips are ready to be distributed. A single high-volume bearish candle smashed the price down from 0.4465, a typical breakdown signal, shorting is favored over longing. 50x leverage. The trend goes straight down, giving no comfortable exit point, profits take off directly.
At this position, I plan to take half the position off the table first, and move the stop loss of the remaining half to 0.44 to let profits run. If 0.42 breaks down with volume, I will continue holding; if it can't fall further, I will close all positions. $ETH $DOOD #本周将公布10月FOMC利率决议 #Can Robinhood's trading business growth continue? #谷歌云业务增长82%，AI投入回报如何？
I bought the "No" on this Google deal.
The market is asking: can diluted GAAP EPS be higher than $3.10? Currently about Yes 61¢, No 43¢. Analysts' consensus estimates mostly range from $2.94 to $3.03, so the threshold is a bit higher than consensus, meaning my position isn't large; just testing the idea, not betting heavily.
Why buy No:
Contracts only recognize GAAP numbers; no matter how good the cloud and AI story looks, it doesn't directly count.
To win Yes, EPS must exceed 3.10. Even if it slightly beats consensus, it might not reach 3.10, so the result is still No.
Yes is already near 60¢; many think it will pass; I prefer to bet "it's not that easy to exceed 3.10."
Risks are also clear: last quarter GAAP was boosted heavily by equity investment gains. If that happens again this quarter, EPS could easily exceed 3.10, and No would lose. $BEAT 1. Early stage (June–August) stabilized at ~770k/week, market trading "revenue flywheel, weekly burn"
