🤯 The return rate is only 1.7%, yet it has already earned $22,905! This is the true low-key powerhouse in the crypto world!
Brothers, after seeing this set of real trading data today, I finally understand: the true realm of trading may not be about chasing daily doubling, but about using reasonable leverage to continuously generate returns on capital.
📊 Look at this big player's operation:
🟢 $SNDK long position
Leverage: 2x full position
Margin: about $1.34 million
Return rate: +1.70%
Unrealized profit: $22,905
Liquidation price: $235
🟢 $SOXL long position
Leverage: 2x full position
Margin: about $300,000
Return rate: +8.17%
Unrealized profit: $24,808
The combined unrealized profit of these two positions exceeds $47,000!
What's the most interesting part? They did not use dozens or even hundreds of times leverage to gamble on the market, but relied on a huge capital base and relatively moderate leverage to achieve absolute returns.
📌 This is what retail investors should really think about:
Ordinary traders always think about quickly doubling small capital, often opening dozens of times leverage, getting excited with small profits, and getting anxious with slight pullbacks.
But large capital focuses more on position management, capital efficiency, and drawdown control.
Of course, low leverage does not mean no risk, and full position mode does not equal absolute safety; extreme market fluctuations can still cause significant losses.
In the end, trading is not about who dares to open higher leverage.The recent decline in the U.S. stock market is not caused by a single negative factor, but rather by a concentrated test of the AI narrative's pricing logic against the reality of cash flow.
Trigger and deeper contradictions. On October 29, Alphabet plummeted over 12% due to revenue missing expectations for the second consecutive quarter, Amazon's capital expenditures surged causing a significant outflow of free cash flow, and Intel's earnings guidance fell far short of expectations. These three jointly triggered a sell-off in tech stocks. The deeper background is that the Federal Reserve continues to keep interest rates high amid persistent inflation, which squeezes AI capital expenditures reliant on debt financing. The market focus has shifted from "how big the AI space is" to "how much profit these huge investments can ultimately generate."
Future outlook: differentiation rather than collapse, but with a higher volatility center. Most institutions do not believe a systemic bear market is imminent. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are more likely to enter a pattern of wide fluctuations at high levels with a moderate upward shift in the center of gravity, but internal "K-shaped divergence" will become increasingly severe. An overlooked signal is that although the indices remain near their highs, 85% of S&P 500 stocks have fallen more than 10% from their respective peaks, and 59% have dropped over 20%. Capital is continuously rotating from highly volatile AI growth stocks to defensive blue chips with stable cash flow. Tail risks come from the ongoing pressure on small and medium banks due to the commercial real estate maturity wave, as well as potential uncertainties from tighter AI regulation after the midterm elections.
In short, the U.S. stock market is undergoing a shift from "narrative pricing" to "cash flow pricing." The index may not necessarily crash? #美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 Brothers, BTC and ETH crashed overnight. This time, the dump wasn't caused by the Fed, but by Binance.
$BTC $77,100 | $ETH $2,205
Bitcoin dropped sharply from above 81,000 to 76,861, falling over 5.8% intraday. Ethereum broke below 2,200, hitting a low of 2,198. In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $1.112 billion, with long positions liquidated for $940 million, and over 180,000 people wiped out.
The trigger was a suspected hack on Binance. On-chain monitoring detected abnormal fund movements of about $3.5 billion to $5.5 billion related to Binance wallets. Tether and Circle urgently froze approximately $1.8 billion to $2.5 billion in stablecoins. CZ stated, "It looks like a hacker attack targeting Binance." Binance has suspended deposits and withdrawals and said it will cover all losses. If confirmed, this would be the largest theft in crypto history, surpassing Bybit's $1.5 billion.
But what really caused the price to crash so fast was leverage. Within an hour of the news, about $628 million in liquidations were triggered, with longs stampeding to exit. BTC directly broke through 78,000 and 77,000.
Technically, 76,800 is today's low and a key short-term level to watch. If the Binance incident turns out to be a false alarm, a rebound will come quickly; if confirmed as a hack, selling pressure will continue. Ethereum's 2,200 is a psychological level, with downside support around 2,100.
Discuss in the comments: Is the Binance situation a false alarm or a real disaster? 👇
#美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 Palantir's 167x PE, what supports it?
$PLTR 11-02 US stock after-hours earnings report, Beijing time 11-03 early morning.
This time it will most likely beat expectations again, but the problem is that beating expectations is no longer enough.
Q2 revenue was $1.935 billion, up 93% year-over-year, free cash flow margin 62%, Rule of 40 reached 155%—an extreme value in the software industry. Eight consecutive quarters of beating expectations, channel feedback indicates this time is still strong.
But the price has already priced in the good news. Consensus expects $2.18 billion, higher than the management's guidance upper limit of $2.164 billion; even hitting the guidance fully is not considered meeting the standard. The base is also starting to bite: Q2 year-over-year +92.9%, Q3 consensus only +84.6%, to maintain the "13th consecutive accelerating quarter," revenue must reach $2.28 billion. Customer growth rate dropped from 42% to 35%, growth mainly from existing customers increasing orders, new customers did not keep up.
Valuation is straightforward: PE (TTM) 167.9x, average target price from 29 institutions is 214.6, only 9% higher than the current price of 196.42. Morgan Stanley's three targets—81, 205, 295—the most optimistic one, the options market only gives a 9.3% probability. #Coinbase整合Deribit，Q3收入能否改善？ The blogger I've been following closely has fallen today
The highest floating profit was 236,000, it's terrifying!
Now the account only has 48u left $BTC $ETH Quarterly preferred stock dividends of $419.6 million, I first focus on this news: earnings fluctuate with the coin price, but dividends are a cost of capital. The rest of the information is briefly mentioned: $BTC earnings drove Strategy's operating profit to $20.9 billion in Q3, and as of October 25, $2.04 billion has been spent on repurchasing STRC.
My judgment is that the profit headline is somewhat positive for sentiment but cannot be directly taken as a reduction in risk. According to my analysis, if subsequent earnings can cover the dividends and capital arrangements remain comfortable, this structure is worth affirming; if the coin price pulls back and financing becomes more expensive, then the profit buffer may narrow and the pressure of capital costs will become more apparent.
I would rather be less excited and calculate the expected value again: large profits do not automatically equal good odds. Looking at Strategy's structure, do people value the probability of covering capital costs more, or the odds brought by the coin price rising?Today's Core Judgment: Today the market showed two completely opposite signals: traditional finance is accelerating the adoption of crypto trading infrastructure, but Binance is suspected of a major security incident, causing short-term risks to suddenly rise. The most notable changes in the past 24 hours: * Binance is investigating a potential security incident; Tether and Circle have frozen a total of about $2.39 billion in related stablecoins, with actual losses yet to be confirmed. * ICE has officially reached an agreement with Trade[XYZ], planning to introduce Hyperliquid-based perpetual contracts into the regulated U.S. market, with OKX's joint venture participating in future distribution. * U.S. Q3 GDP grew by 3.4%, and September PCE inflation rose to 3.6%, further limiting the Federal Reserve's easing space. * BTC ETFs have seen inflows for three consecutive days, while ETH and SOL continue to see outflows. My judgment: Long-term industry infrastructure development is positive, but short-term capital conditions and exchange security risks do not support blind optimism. Today, priority should be given to focusing on the actual losses and liquidity contagion from the Binance incident, rather than chasing the narrative brought by ICE cooperation. 1. Binance Suspected Major Security Incident Binance officially confirmed it is urgently investigating a potential security issue and stated that user funds have not yet been confirmed to be affected. Meanwhile, Tether has frozen about $1.567 billion USDT, and Circle has frozen about $823 million USDC. Large-scale abnormal transfers have appeared on-chain, but abnormal transfer amounts do not equal actual stolen amounts; the frozen amountsJust opened the backend fund flow and was so shocked I nearly dropped my cigarette halfway. Don't just stare at the K-line crying; look at where the real money is flowing. This is not a normal pullback; it's basically a leveraged massacre by the main players!
First, look at $BTC, currently around 77,000. The contract side has a 24-hour net outflow as high as 1.62 billion, with long leverage getting completely blown up. Even worse, the spot side also saw an outflow of 159 million. Panic selling is cutting losses, and the main players are washing the market accordingly. If you buy in now, chances are you'll get stuck halfway up the mountain.
Next, $ETH is really hopeless. Contract outflow is 1.7 billion, spot outflow is 128 million, with funds fleeing on both fronts. No one is willing to support the market. This muddy structure means don’t think you can bottom fish just because it’s dropped a lot.
But $SOL shows an abnormal signal. Although contracts had a 24-hour outflow of 365 million, the spot side saw a net inflow of 35.45 million over one week and 52.45 million over 15 days. This indicates retail investors are getting liquidated in contracts, but the big players are quietly picking up bloodied chips on the spot side. Even though the 100 mark was broken, big money hasn’t given up on it at all.
To sum up, this big drop was influenced by news and just cleaned out contract longs. Judging by spot outflows, panic hasn’t fully subsided yet. Trying to catch a rebound now is just giving away money. Be patient and wait for funds to flow back and stabilize before making a move.
Last night’s big crash at dawn—did you sleep early and avoid disaster, or did you stubbornly get liquidated and carried off? Do you still have ammo to bottom fish now?
#美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 #Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹
10.30 destined to be recorded, billions stolen $ETH $ZEC
Direct trigger: Binance hacked → panic + withdrawal suspension → BTC down 5% in 4 hours
Background pressure: Google -12.64%, Intel after-hours -23.04%, Nasdaq -1.38%, 10Y US Treasury 4.99% → crypto has no buffer
Amplifier: 24h total liquidations $1.112 billion, longs account for 84% ($930 million), over 180-240 thousand people — the deep drop is not due to many sell orders, but forced liquidation of longs
Asia-Pacific open adds another blow: South Korea KOSPI once -4% (SK Hynix -7%, Samsung -4%), Nikkei -1.51%, BTC 08:00 1H candle smashed to 76,658. Now BTC 76,897 (-4.82%), ZEC 1,213 (-6.02%).Leverage is being cleared out, but the spot market has yet to provide an answer
In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $1.112 billion, with long positions accounting for $930 million; BTC liquidations reached $350 million, and $ETH liquidations were $253 million. The key issue is not the numbers, but the liquidation methods and pace.
There are two layers of triggers. The surface layer is abnormal activity in Binance's hot wallet, involving about 167,000 ETH and dozens of ERC-20 tokens. Tether and Circle subsequently froze about $1.8 billion in stablecoins. Binance says it is investigating, and CZ said it "looks like a hacking incident," but user funds have not yet been confirmed as compromised. The market did not wait for a conclusion: BNB dropped about 6% in one hour, and BTC fell below $79,000.
The deeper layer lies in the leverage structure. $BTC stayed at a high level for too long, contract funds accumulated, but the spot market did not keep pace. A single bearish candle breaking a key level caused long liquidations to self-reinforce. Traders on OKX Planet reviewed this: it looks more like a concentrated leverage cleanup, with the key being whether spot buying supports the market after liquidation.
Macro marginal easing but no reversal: the 10-year US Treasury yield fell back to around 4.9%, and December rate hike pricing was revised down to 70%–80%, but the absolute level still constrains risk appetite.
Currently, it looks more like leverage pressure release rather than a trend end. The nature of the Binance incident, how frozen funds are handled, and whether sustained spot buying can appear around 77,000 BTC are more worth tracking than "how much it fell." Liquidations can complete quickly, but support needs time to verify.
#美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 【Limited BTC Selling Pressure, But ETH Selling Pressure Has Already Begun】
Currently, over $3 billion worth of involved assets have been frozen, accounting for about half of the on-chain tracked volume. However, this total is still an on-chain estimate and not the final confirmed loss by Binance.
The trouble with $BTC lies in liquidation. Addresses flagged are difficult to cash out directly through exchanges; splitting transfers and finding OTC buyers all take time. The BTC stolen from Bitfinex in 2016, which took years to fully liquidate, is an example. Binance's SAFU fund currently holds about $1 billion in BTC, and if this reserve is ultimately used for compensation and asset replenishment, it could even bring additional buying pressure.
The situation with $ETH is not so easy. Some ERC-20 assets converted into ETH can use Tornado Cash to increase tracking difficulty, providing greater flexibility for subsequent liquidation. But mixing coins does not equal complete laundering; on-chain analysis can still track some fund flows.
In the short term, direct selling pressure on BTC may be limited, while ETH requires more caution regarding subsequent fund transfers and conversions. However, what truly suppresses the entire market remains the trust crisis caused by exchange security incidents.CMC Asset Watch: SpaceX Faced a New Share-Supply Test
Most megacaps moved far less than SpaceX over the period.
Its sharpest drop came October 22, when a Q3-linked lockup provision made more shares eligible for sale.
That created potential supply. Eligibility is not proof that all those shares were sold.#英特尔代工转型迎来Terafab新变量 The most common misunderstanding around Terafab is to directly interpret “participating in the project” as having secured huge wafer foundry orders.
Intel is already involved, but the subsequent cooperation model still needs to be detailed: providing manufacturing processes, participating in technology development, or directly undertaking production in its own factories—all have different revenue structures.
At the same time, TSMC has also confirmed that it is discussing capacity cooperation related to Terafab, but no clear conclusions have been reached that can be announced.
Putting this information together, I think the most important question now is about the division of labor. Who provides the technology, who operates the factories, and who is responsible for production yield and delivery? These factors will affect how much revenue Intel ultimately receives and how much investment it needs to bear.
I hope Intel’s foundry transformation can make progress and acknowledge that a large project may bring opportunities in technology and customers. But the more attention a cooperation receives, the more it requires specific terms to support judgment.
If technology licensing is done, it could also be a good business; directly undertaking manufacturing depends on capacity and profit. There is no need to pick the most profitable version for the company when details are missing.
Terafab is worth following. The next step that would make me more confident in my judgment would be clearer cooperation scope and execution progress, rather than just appearing again in the same group photo.
#英特尔代工转型迎来Terafab新变量Do you know what the most surreal thing these past two days is?
It's not that HYPE rose 13% against the trend. It's that the people who were shouting "Altcoins are dead" in the group last night cut all their positions at the lowest point early this morning.
BTC dropped below 80,000, ETH is just over 2,200, SOL can't even hold 100. The panic index is 30.
I've been watching for a while, and in one sentence: this drop isn't caused by news, it's because some people just don't want to play anymore.
Even Ansem has turned bearish. Despite the US stock market rising so much without a proper correction, he says we're near the end of the macro cycle, cutting longs and opening shorts, targeting BTC at 70,000.
My $ZEC short is still open, entered at 739, now over 1,200, losing money. It dropped 6% today, the loss is smaller but still far from breaking even.
Honestly, I'm not happy at all, because holding on until now is purely because it hasn't risen again.
As for your question about stop loss? I know I should stop, but I haven't yet—that's human nature.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC The Federal Reserve held steady overnight, keeping rates at 4%. Don't be fooled by the "no rate hike" 😐: 2 of the 12 members voted for an immediate hike, the statement used tougher language on growth, and Walsh emphasized that inflation is far from 2% with no room to back down. This is not a dovish turn, but a hawkish pause — no move in October, with pressure already on the table for December 🦅.
The market also gave an answer. Bitcoin hovered around 80,000 and Ethereum near 2,320 without any decent rebound, instead grinding down even weaker than overnight 📉. Those hoping to "buy the dip because no rate hike" were most likely schooled by the market today.
The reason is straightforward: the no rate hike was priced in two weeks ago; the real new variables are the 2 dissenting votes and Walsh's tough stance, all pointing to a possible hike by year-end. Funding costs remain at 4%, no new money is coming in, and the positive factors have been fully priced — what else can drive a rally? 🤔
I remain bearish: if Bitcoin breaks below 80,000, next support is 76,000; if Ethereum falls below 2,240, look for 2,200. No chasing rebounds, holding cash, waiting for the market to give its own answer 💵. #美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 #OKX、ICE与Trade.xyz联手，推动永续合约进入美国合规市场 Funding rate is -0.0022% per hour. Let me pour some cold water first: this is not a "shorts are too many, rebound is imminent" pass. I tend to treat it as a gauge of bearish sentiment rather than a bottom signal. The $NEAR in the material experienced a sharp short-term drop, with trading volume and open interest also listed. The data comes from Hyperliquid perpetual contract public market data, so don't directly extrapolate it to the entire market's condition.
I'm not in a hurry to bet on a reversal for two reasons. Negative funding rates usually mean shorts pay longs, but paying doesn't mean shorts immediately collapse; if the price continues to weaken, this holding cost may not necessarily force liquidations, that's my speculation. Another point is that open interest is just the stock; it doesn't reveal whether these positions are directional bets or hedges. Just shouting "shorts are crowded" based on negative funding rates lacks sufficient evidence, and you can't treat potential short covering as actual buying yet.
Of course, those betting on a rebound might be right. If the price stops making new lows later, shows sustained support, and the funding rate gradually returns to neutral, I would downgrade the bearish view; that would look more like selling pressure being absorbed rather than just an overextended drop. For this volatility, are you long or short? State your reasons: do you value the potential short covering from negative funding rates, or do you find the price weakness more convincing? As soon as the barn door was pushed open, the full granary pressed down on the wooden beams, making them creak, but the old farmer reached out, lifted and weighed it, yet his brow still furrowed into a knot—this is exactly the situation with Samsung's books this season: revenue of 19.53 trillion KRW, operating profit of 10.74 trillion, net profit more than quintupled compared to the same period last year. The ears of grain are full, but when weighed, the weight still falls a little short of the market's expected scale.
Farmers never judge the harvest by just one season's yield. Storage is the staple of this land; HBM4 is the improved variety newly planted this year. With good seeds sown, the seedlings are uniform and tillering is vigorous, pushing memory revenue and profits to historic highs—this means the soil fertility has been restored, not just a superficial gain from a single rain. What really makes the old farmer squint and look far ahead is the phrase "investment in AI infrastructure will hit a record by 2027": this is not chasing a single crop's fertilizer, this is digging irrigation channels. The channels will take three years to dig, with earthworks piling up year after year, and only then will water slowly flow into the fields. Whose land gets water first, whose seedlings will fill the grains first.
Looking again at the supply and demand moisture: demand is growing faster than supply, not just a little faster, but like the urgent arrival of spring floods before the drainage ditches are finished digging. In such a year, two things are most to be avoided—one is hastily harvesting just because the seedlings grow vigorously, causing green grains to shrivel when dried; the other is abandoning your own field because it grows slowly to chase after neighbors' fields that are already heading. The land has a temper; if you rush it, it will fool you.
Nowadays, city folks divide this land's harvest into small portions, turning them into notes traded on the price board, with rises and falls depending entirely on overnight clouds. But clouds cannot decide soil fertility; the solar terms are the hard truth. Net profit has quintupled year-on-year yet is still "below expectations"—in the field, this means: the millet is clearly abundant, but grain prices have not kept up—high yield does not equal a good harvest, a full granary does not equal a full pocket, with a whole drying yard and a grain station's inspection in between.
The old farmer squats on the ridge finishing this cigarette, recognizing only one thing: before the channels are dug through, any talk of a good harvest is just numbers on paper; while the seedlings are still filling grains, the sickle must hang on the wall. #samsungq3recordprofitBinance was hacked for 5.6 billion, the entire network liquidated 1.1 billion, a bloodbath? Wake up, you've been fooled by the dog whales' script again.
Brothers, in the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $1.112 billion, with long positions liquidated at $930 million, $BTC once dropped to 78,906.
The whole network is shouting "Hacked dump, run fast."
Think about it: if the stolen coins really became selling pressure, would the dog whales let you know immediately?
Coinkarma revealed the bottom line: the stolen BTC is worth over a billion, but without Tornado's deep mixing pool, all addresses are tagged, and the liquidation cycle is measured in "years," so short-term selling pressure is almost zero.
Even more counterintuitive, if Binance uses the SAFU fund to compensate and replenish Bitcoin, this would actually become a super buying force!
Where is the real thunder? In $ETH. A large amount of tokens converted to ETH then funneled into Tornado, making it hard to track.
The real short-term dump threat is those billions in ETH, not BTC.
Understand now? Of the 1.1 billion liquidations, 930 million are long positions; the ones dying are leveraged traders chasing pumps and dumps, not Bitcoin itself.
The dog whales used one piece of news to wash out leveraged longs, tricking you into handing over blood-stained chips at 78,000.
The stolen coins belong to Binance, but those buried are the short-sellers. BTC's selling pressure is locked on-chain, your positions are locked on the floor. $BTC slid from above 80,000 down to around 77,000, with over 240,000 people liquidated in 24 hours, longs accounting for the majority of the liquidations[reference:0].
$ETH followed with a nearly 6% drop; withdrawals on Binance have not yet resumed, the hot wallet issue hasn't been fully resolved, and leverage ended up hurting itself first.
But the real interesting part isn't in the crypto circle.
The A-share market dropped over 4% yesterday in the dual innovation sectors, while Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Construction Bank hit new all-time highs again, with the total market value of the big four banks surpassing 10 trillion.
In the US stock market, Google fell 12% in one day, the Nasdaq was dragged down by doubts over AI returns, but Eli Lilly surged over 6% against the trend thanks to weight loss drugs.
The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong lost 23,000 points, tech stocks took a hit, while domestic banks and insurance stocks were supporting the market.
Money hasn't disappeared; it just moved from the place where "the story is told the loudest" to the place where "you can sleep well tonight."
$BTC and tech stocks now share the same nerve: they shout together when rising, and when falling, no one can run first.The most dangerous move on the chessboard is never the opponent pushing the queen to g7, but rather when you capture it and then see that diagonal line. Azure's revenue growth of 48%, exceeding expectations, is just a bait; the real move in Microsoft's quarterly report is the OpenAI-related commercial revenue reaching $10 billion, approaching 11% of quarterly revenue. This is not a pawn probe, but a central control—if you don't move, it pressures your pieces; if you move, it changes your structure.
In the opening phase, the market only looks at revenue of $9.228 billion, a 19% year-over-year increase, like watching who moves the elephants first. But a grandmaster doesn't count pieces on the 8th move; I count pawn structure. Azure's next quarter guidance of 49% to 50% constant currency is a waiting move: not rushing to checkmate, but forcing the opponent to show their hand first. The 2026 calendar year capital expenditure of about $170 billion is more like sacrificing three pawns to seize open lines; the short-term books look bad, but the trade is for long-term diagonal control. Free cash flow turns positive in fiscal 2027, indicating there is still a rook left in the endgame, not just relying on the king's wing to attack.
Those who truly calculate the position twenty moves ahead will break down the $10 billion related revenue: it is both a piece and a point of control. The deeper the revenue sharing is tied, the more Azure's growth resembles a passed pawn—looking like it can promote, but behind it must be enough pieces protecting it. The $170 billion capital expenditure is not a cost but an investment in the position; however, if Azure's growth drops a notch, this expenditure immediately turns from an "open line" into a "decoy tactic" backlash point. The AI credit spread is the weak square on the back wing that no one notices, silent in normal times but deadly when exchanging pieces.
The linkage with $xCRCL should not be seen as a simple piece exchange. Tokenized assets linked with giants like Microsoft follow the endgame passed pawn logic: the stronger the parent, the more valuable the passed pawn; the heavier the parent’s capital expenditure, the more the passed pawn fears being cut off from behind by a rook. The market is now focused on the 48% checkmate, but I focus on the time advantage behind the 49% to 50% guidance—whoever exhausts variations first, miscalculates first.
The winning move in this game is not in the beautiful tactical combinations of Q1, but in the 2026 calendar year endgame, where capital expenditure and free cash flow compete to convert pieces first. Those who treat the $170 billion as a cost will miscalculate by the twelfth move; those who treat it as a sacrificed piece can see the central square. #microsoftq1azuresurges #IntelQ3TerafabFoundry AI is competing for TSMC's advanced process capacity, and prices for regular PC processors are also moving accordingly. The Commercial Times today (October 12) cited the supply chain: Intel has been raising prices on multiple generations of PC processors since September—high-end Panther Lake by about 15% to 20% (mainly models equipped with TSMC N3E high-end GPU cores, not the entire lineup); Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake by about 5% to 10%. Bitcoin dropped sharply this morning from around 81,000 to about 77,800, roughly -4.3% in one day. This isn't a slow decline; it's leverage liquidations.
I think three things stacked up. The Fed held steady on Wednesday, keeping rates pinned at 3.75%–4%, with the chair's tone hawkish, pushing December rate hike expectations back up; Alphabet and Samsung earnings missed expectations, causing tech stocks in Asia to crash first, dragging risk assets down; on the contracts side, multiple data sources show about 350 million in positions were liquidated, with longs suffering more. Spot ETFs have actually been seeing inflows over the past three days, totaling about 400 million, but that couldn't stop the derivatives stampede. Today about 10.9 billion in options expire, with the biggest pain point near 78,000 — which has already been trampled.
The levels I'll be watching aren't chasing the current price. The next solid support is around 76,300 to 76,500 (September lows and daily moving average zone), then below that is the 75,000 whole number. If I want to try going long near there, I'd only use low leverage, about 2 to 3 times: stop loss about 2 points away, so even a 3x loss would only cost a few points of the account, avoiding a liquidation. Stop loss would be set if the daily close breaks below 75,000 or clearly breaks the 76,000 structure — cutting on structural failure, not just a random percentage.
Only when it reclaims 80,000 will this panic ease. If it breaks 75,000 and you stubbornly hold high leverage, you're just making things harder for yourself.
$BTC $ETH $SOL
#美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 $ETH funding rates have all turned negative; ETH is about to be completely drained by BTC. Look at these rates: on major exchanges like Binance, Bybit, OKX, and Gate, ETH funding rates have all turned negative, meaning shorts are paying longs. What about BTC? Its rate is still positive at +0.0026%/8h, although it has dropped, it hasn't turned negative.
This is a classic divergence—within the same market, BTC longs are still holding strong, while ETH shorts have already taken the lead.
In October, ETH dropped more than 15%, while BTC only fell just over 4%. The ETH/BTC exchange rate has been declining steadily. Capital is truly moving from ETH to BTC. On Binance, ETH dropped 5%, BTC dropped 4.9%, roughly the same magnitude, but since ETH's base is smaller, the leverage impact is harsher on ETH.
What's more frustrating is that today is options expiration; ETH's Max Pain is at 2000, while the current price is 2332, a 14% downward pull in between. The selling pressure on expiration day won't be small.
Honestly, last time ETH was weaker than BTC, I switched to BTC but missed out because ETH rebounded faster. This time, I plan to try a different approach—not rushing to switch, but first seeing if the funding rate divergence can be corrected within a day or two. If ETH funding rates stay negative but the price doesn't fall, it means shorts are only making a short-term bet, not a trend exit, which would actually be a buying opportunity.
But right now, with negative funding rates plus options expiration pressure.
What do you think? How far do you think ETH will crash this time? Revenue of 127.58 billion, a year-on-year increase of 25%, yet still below consensus, with net profit shrinking by about a quarter — this is not a building collapsing, but a mismatch between the load-bearing wall positions on the blueprint and the actual pouring. From the perspective of a structural engineer looking at these numbers, the most glaring issue is never the few percentage points of year-on-year growth, but the 25% drop in profit: it’s like a rework caused by a design change, with all the costs dumped into "equity investment losses," a non-structural load. In other words, the main framework is intact, but the non-load-bearing infill walls have already cracked.
What really makes me want to spread out the floor plan is Google Cloud’s 103% growth. This is the only core vertical shaft in the entire report that stands straight — running directly from the foundation to the top floor, linking computing power, storage, and model services all in one vertical component. The search business revenue falling short of expectations is the most typical problem in old building renovations: the original column grid is still bearing pressure, but the newly added equipment floors can’t find a proper load transfer path.
The annual capital expenditure guidance of $195 billion to $205 billion remains unchanged, with a clear plan to significantly increase it by 2027 — this is the structural soul of this news. Outsiders see this as spending money; insiders see it as pre-pouring the floor, pre-embedding pipelines, and driving foundation piles. Whether a hundred-meter-high building can be raised to two hundred meters depends on whether the pile foundation eighteen meters underground has been arranged in advance. What Google is doing now is presetting all the "superstructure loads" for the next three to five years into today’s foundation. The short-term unattractive net profit is because the costs of the foundation and basic steel structure are all accounted for in the current period, while their true load-bearing allocation will only start to be realized as the upper floors are successively topped out.
Applying this logic to linked assets like $XCH makes the judgment even clearer. The linkage between on-chain assets and equity targets is essentially a corridor hanging beside the main building — when the main building shakes, the corridor’s node plates and anchor bolts bear the stress first. These components do not have independent load-bearing capacity; their safety factor entirely depends on whether they are firmly embedded into the main structure. When looking at them, don’t focus on how pretty their design is, but whether their connection nodes are welded tightly to real computing power demand and real cash flow.
The white paper is the blueprint, the financial report is the completion acceptance certificate, and capital expenditure is the roar of the pile driver. With these three laid out together, what I care about most is whether that roar continues — because once the foundation pouring stops, no matter how high the building is, it’s just a rendering. #googleq3mixedresults#Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 MSTR's impressive earnings report essentially reflects unrealized gains from Bitcoin price increases, not operating income. The book gains are just paper numbers, and the high-leverage coin hoarding model's risks persist. The current decline is a typical case of buying on expectations and selling on facts, with significant uncertainty in the subsequent market.A warm and moist airflow from the upper echelons of traditional asset management is forcefully pulling Bitcoin from the top of the convective layer into the boundary layer of multi-asset portfolios. VanEck has launched a multi-asset product that places stocks, bonds, gold, and Bitcoin on the same weather map, aiming to allocate only 2% cloud cover to Bitcoin, with an adjustable range between 1% and 5%, implemented through spot Bitcoin instruments. This is equivalent to embedding a scalable thunderstorm cell within a high-pressure ridge—its energy is modest, but its position is sensitive. Franklin Templeton’s two products are more straightforward, initially targeting about 95% U.S. stocks plus 5% Bitcoin exposure, using stock dividends reinvested to increase Bitcoin’s weight. Dividends act like stable precipitation replenishment, while Bitcoin’s weight swings slowly like a front within a pressure gradient.
From dividend reinvestment to multi-asset portfolios, asset management institutions are integrating Bitcoin from isolated convective cloud clusters into the regular climate state. A 2% allocation is like a thin high-altitude cloud that doesn’t block the sun but is enough to alter the radiation balance; the adjustable range of 1% to 5% resembles the amplitude of a cold front’s oscillation, seemingly mild but actually determining the subsequent cyclone’s path. The real signal lies not in the proportion but in traditional strategies beginning to incorporate extreme weather into business forecasting: no longer questioning whether tomorrow will be sunny, but assuming heavy rain will come and reserving parameters in the model in advance.
When a 2% Bitcoin allocation shifts from experimental sounding to finalized business practice, it is no longer an isolated thunderstorm cell on the weather map but written into the multi-cloud background of the climate state. Asset managers increasing Bitcoin exposure through dividend reinvestment is equivalent to repeatedly triggering localized strong convection at the edge of the subtropical high; individual precipitation amounts are limited, but continuous echoes leave traces on the monsoon scale. Once Bitcoin opens a gap in the boundary layer of multi-asset portfolios, subsequent frontal activities no longer require additional authorization. #vaneckfranklinbtcetfsBinance had an incident in the early morning, and Bitcoin fell below 77,000 overnight — at times like this, I definitely don’t catch falling knives.
Around 4 a.m., Binance's hot wallet experienced abnormal withdrawals, with an estimated multi-chain transfer of about $5.5 billion on-chain. Based on the coin prices at that time, this is not the final confirmed loss figure.
Binance itself said that user funds are safe, and it will cover all losses, with deposits and withdrawals temporarily suspended. Tether and Circle have already frozen over $2.4 billion worth of related stablecoins.
When I checked, BTC was around $76,979, down 4.8% in 24 hours, just over $200 above today's lowest point.
BNB fell even harder, to $696, down 7.6% in 24 hours, and ETH also returned to around $2,212. Honestly, with platform tokens falling like this, the market fears not just the price but trust.
There was $1.11 billion in liquidations across the network in 24 hours, with longs accounting for 84%, and over 180,000 people liquidated.
I’m just watching, not chasing.
I’ll wait until it stands back above 80,000 to talk about stopping the decline; if it falls below 76,760, today’s judgment is void. Before the exchange incident news is confirmed, bottom fishing is just gambling on the news, which is much harder than guessing prices. $BTC $BNB $ETH About a 2.79% price difference, combined with 10x leverage, roughly calculated based on initial margin, the return is about 27.9%, before fees. This $HYPE short position has been fully closed, realizing a profit of $52,100. Calculating the account, I focus not on how much was earned, but on how much the leverage amplified this small price difference.
My judgment is: this trade ended well, but 10x leverage itself is not very stable. If the price moves about 3% in the opposite direction, roughly calculated, it would consume about 30% of the initial margin. The same amplifier is used for both profit and loss; just because this time it made money doesn't mean this risk is easy to bear; the material also didn't provide a stop-loss arrangement, and I won't make up a risk control story for it.
If it were up to me, I would rather have less amplification and leave room for judgment errors. Next time I see a large profit, I will first calculate how much it would cost if it goes the other way, then decide if it's worth admiring. Strategy's Q3 earnings report is out, with a single-quarter operating profit of $20.9 billion, a record high, but the stock fell more than 2% after hours.
The reason is simple: this $20.9 billion is all unrealized gains from BTC appreciation, not actual cash. Even more awkwardly, the BTC amount per share actually dropped by 3.7%—total holdings rose 26% to 848,500 coins, but during the same period, $21.2 billion worth of shares were issued, diluting faster than coin purchases.
What’s really worth watching is the shift in financing strategy.
Previously, it was a "stock issuance to buy coins" perpetual motion machine; this quarter the focus shifted to repairing the balance sheet: repurchasing $2.04 billion of STRC $MSTR preferred stock, piling up $5.07 billion in USD reserves—enough to cover 3.4 years of dividends and interest. They also started "daily dividends," with STRC dividends paid daily starting November 1.
In plain terms, Strategy is spending money to buy time—repurchasing preferred stock to reduce future dividend burdens and hoarding cash to withstand interest pressure during downturns. The cost is dilution for common shareholders; Clear Street bluntly said: "Financing improvements come at the expense of common shareholders."
As for $BTC, the pace of buying tens of billions weekly seen in the first half of the year won’t return in the short term. They now prioritize preserving cash flow and reducing leverage rather than mindlessly increasing holdings. $BTC has ETF support around 90,000, but the marginal buying from the "largest bulls" is weakening; this rally can no longer rely solely on Strategy to provide a floor. #Strategy财报前瞻：BTC账面收益大幅反弹 Computing power demand is the narrative; the financial report is the verification.

Platform tokens have their own rhythm, completely ignoring BTC's mood.
Behind this is actually the big game jointly invested by OKX and ICE. Combining the compliance resources of traditional financial giants with on-chain perpetuals, they are preparing to catch big opportunities under the US regulatory framework.
Although this level of positive news hasn't materialized yet, funds are already rushing ahead.
Once the big cake of compliant perpetuals is opened, the dozen-dollar pullback on the chart is nothing at all; the main force's intention to quietly accumulate is very obvious this round.

👇A position of $82,800 does not mean you put in $82,800 of principal. Looking at this new $HYPE long position, the main point I want to clarify for newcomers is this difference: the material shows 10x leverage used, holding 929.3 units, but the total account funds are not given, so you can't judge how heavily they are betting based on this.
📌 Roughly calculating initial margin by dividing nominal value by leverage, the initial margin corresponds to about $8,279. If the price moves against the position by $1, the unrealized loss on this position is about $929, which is roughly 11% of the above margin, excluding fees for now. Leverage reduces the margin required to open the position, not the profit or loss amount for the same position size.
I do not recommend judging risk solely by "how many times leverage" is used. Newcomers often mistake margin for position size and overlook that the entire nominal value actually bears the volatility risk. My reminder to myself is: first calculate how much you would lose if the price moves one step wrong, then talk about how accurate your directional view is.Oil bounced from $89 to above $100 this month.

NFA.$XAU ☀️ Crypto & Financial Markets – Morning Briefing | October 30 Overnight Market Highlights: ① $BNB Security Incident: Binance has confirmed a theft involving one of its hot wallets, with further details still awaited. ② US Economic Data: Q3 US GDP annualized growth came in at 3.4%, stronger than both Q2 and market expectations. September PCE inflation reached 3.6% year-over-year, while core PCE stood at 3.1%, highlighting the combination of solid economic growth and persistent inflation. ③ ECB U$BTC Binance incident freezes $2.54 billion, yet BTC drops to 77,000! How many more hidden risks are there?
This morning's news is really intense: Binance is investigating a potential security incident, with related assets frozen totaling $2.54 billion!
Don't rush to shout "2.54 billion stolen." Freezing assets does not equal final loss; institutions like Tether and Circle participated in the asset freeze. Binance temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals, stating user funds are safe; Zhao Changpeng said it looks like a hacker attack.
Now look at $BTC. CoinGlass snapshot this morning was about $77,138, down 4.63% in 24 hours. More strikingly, the 24-hour BTC contract forced liquidations were about $475 million, with open interest still around $53.05 billion; contract volume about $107.1 billion, spot about $8.08 billion.
This is the contradiction I care about more: the official side is trying to control the situation, but the contract market is still highly volatile. Note, frozen assets are not the liquidation amount, nor do they prove that the $475 million forced liquidations were all caused by this event.
My judgment: short-term bearish bias, but do not chase shorts at this level. If withdrawals resume and BTC reclaims $80,000, the bearish logic must be reassessed; if security issues persist and price continues to break down, beware of a secondary crash.
Which scenario are you betting on: a quick rebound after official clarification, or a second wave of sell-off triggered by a crisis of confidence? #美国9月核心PCE升至3.1%，加息预期仍高 "A Certain Anre Wallet Emptied, Losing $6 Billion"

$ETH $BTC 如果昨晚那两根上影线只是试探，那么接下来要盯的就不是方向，而是杠杆往哪边挤。 BTC 四次上攻 Vegas 通道都被压回，这到底是空头最后一次体面，还是多头在蓄力？ 早上翻 4 小时图的时候，我第一反应不是兴奋，是有点警觉。BTC 价格上方的 Vegas 通道开始换位，这通常意味着趋势结构在悄悄松动，但昨夜两次冲关都被打下来，说明上方还压着一层真实的卖盘。这种位置最容易被误读成"突破在即"，可我更愿意看衍生品那边：永续的未平仓量没明显退，资金费率也没被压到极端，多头是在扛，不是在追。扛着的仓位遇到假突破，清算会比想象中快。 这也是我这两天偏谨慎偏多的原因。若真能第三次顶上去并站稳通道上沿，追多的成本其实比现在低，因为结构确认后空头回补会替你把价格推一段；反过来，如果再次被摁回，下面那批高杠杆多头就是第一波燃料，回踩会比前两次更深。我在 MSTR 上先放了一笔，本质是拿股票端的 beta 去换 BTC 突破的期权感，而不是赌今晚就飞。 ETH 这边节奏明显慢半拍，离 Vegas 通道还有距离，像在趋势线下方慢慢磨。它现在的角色更像滞后补涨的备选，而不是领涨的旗手。2220 到 2270 "Not your keys, not your coins" — this phrase flooded the screens again today during the Binance incident.

The above is only a personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile; please make decisions cautiously.
👇👇👇Nearly 50 million $HYPE tokens were burned, accounting for 4.99% of the total supply. This is not a small matter. Burning is burning; the supply side has genuinely decreased.
There’s also significant activity on the ETH side. BlackRock deposited nearly $200 million worth of ETH into Coinbase over two days, and an OG wallet that had been dormant for three years suddenly woke up, depositing 2,119 ETH directly. When an old wallet like this moves, my first thought is—are they preparing to sell? Not necessarily, but it’s worth keeping an eye on.
On the $BTC side, about $11 billion worth of options expire on October 30, and with the U.S. midterm elections approaching, volatility is very likely to be high. Australia is tightening regulations on prediction markets, and Polymarket has reportedly been blocked. Also, an address deposited 2,000 $XAUT to Binance, which might result in a loss if sold at the current price.
In the end, it still comes down to this: whether money flows in or out, and whether $BTC can hold its key positions. Until these two points are clear, everything else is just noise. If it weren't for Binance being hacked in the early morning, would the price not have dropped? Personally, I think it might not have dropped that much, but most likely it still would have.
First, the US stock indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq) continue to decline, and many investors will prioritize hedging; even if they don't sell crypto, they hedge. Second, the potential risks mentioned repeatedly in this week's live streams—the weekly chart still doesn't meet reversal criteria, so there's a high probability it will go down further to form a base before there's a chance for better bullish conditions.
Looking forward to November, always respect the market, and make plans that you can execute well within your capabilities! $ETH Gold Morning Analysis for October 30:
Last night, with the release of PCE and GDP data, inflation stickiness became evident and economic resilience exceeded expectations. Market expectations for rate hikes further intensified, leading to a simultaneous strengthening of the US dollar and US Treasury yields, putting pressure on gold prices to decline. Coupled with the Fed's previously hawkish stance, short-term bulls are clearly under pressure.
After a brief surge in the early session, prices quickly weakened. From the one-minute Bollinger Bands structure, it is clear that after touching the upper band, upward momentum was insufficient, unable to sustain the rally, and prices directly reversed downward, showing weak short-term bullish attacks.

In the past decade, there have been 6 exchange thefts, ranging from 40 million to 5.9 billion, a span of over 100 times, but the drop on the day was almost always between 4%–20%.
Mt.Gox lost 450 million → BTC -10%, followed by a two-year bear market
Bitfinex lost 70 million → BTC once dropped -20%, recovered in a few days
Bybit lost 1.5 billion → ETH -4%, recovered within a week
This time lost 5.9 billion → BTC -5.2%, BNB -9.9%, ETH -6.7%
So the market pricing has never been about "how much was lost," but rather "whether the funds can still be redeemed."
There are three paths:
A｜Redemption collapse (Mt.Gox type) — continuous decline
B｜Short-term dip then recovery (Bybit type) — back to normal within a week
C｜Systemic risk — weak rebound, range-bound decline
Look at three checkpoints:
① Whether full redemption is possible — He Yi has promised full coverage
② How long withdrawal takes to resume — over 48 hours, trust repair slows down
③ Is there a second affected party — Bybit / KuCoin / Lido have all denied involvement
Passing the first two leads to path B; failure at any leads to path A. Stuck in the middle is path C.
The risk may not be the 5.9 billion itself, but the panic itself #Strategy财报前瞻: BTC book gains rebound sharply Strategy earnings preview, book gains rebound with BTC is just an accounting illusion, not an improvement in operating profit. Under the new accounting standards, unrealized gains on holdings are directly included in the financial report; this gain is a paper number without real cash flow. The market is easily attracted by unrealized gains, but the core focus is not profitability, but whether the company will use the book recovery to continue issuing shares to raise funds and increase coin holdings. Debt pressure and preferred stock dividend costs still exist. Once BTC price turns down, huge unrealized gains will quickly be given back. Essentially, it is a leveraged Bitcoin ETF, and the financial report is just a mirror of BTC price. This round of rebound repairs the balance sheet, which is beneficial for short-term financing and coin purchases, but the risk is highly concentrated on the coin price. Book unrealized gains should not be mistaken for a strengthening of the company's fundamentals. The $1.45 billion Bitcoin theft that cannot be recovered confirms Professor Gu's prophecy of Bitcoin going to zero is credible, accelerating the arrival of quantum computer risks analysis
1. Two warnings brought by the event itself (custody risk is an explicit pain point)
1. Even huge assets, as long as private keys are entrusted to third parties such as platforms or mining pools, face the risk of theft and difficulty in asset recovery. Hackers attack the key management system and server permissions, not the Bitcoin blockchain ledger itself. The Bitcoin network continues to produce blocks and the ledger is immutable; only the custodian's internal control defenses have failed. Such major cases repeatedly occur, continuously shattering the shallow consensus that "Bitcoin is secure digital gold," making the market realize that the security of daily BTC holdings largely depends on centralized institutions rather than the chain itself.
2. Large asset thefts and the difficulty of tracking and recovering expose the inherent traceability shortcomings of crypto assets. Once hackers complete coin mixing and transfers, the probability of fund recovery is very low. Continuous major theft incidents deepen market doubts about the entire Bitcoin ecosystem's security system, laying an emotional foundation for the long-term quantum risk narrative.
2. Why many people associate this incident with Professor Gu's zero prophecy and quantum risks
1. Logical connection: Frequent custody security incidents make the market start to reflect that Bitcoin's security is layered. Currently, the custody layer keeps having incidents, and in the long term, there is an even more fatal hidden risk in the underlying cryptography.
One of Professor Gu's core arguments is that Bitcoin's underlying elliptic curve cryptography has a fatal quantum vulnerability, making network-wide upgrades extremely difficult, and the long-term value foundation unstable. Consecutive large thefts lead some traders to believe: with continuous exposure of upper-layer security vulnerabilities and an underlying quantum time bomb, the dual risks accumulate, and the zero prediction logic is gradually being realized.
2. Amplification of market sentiment: Ordinary investors find it hard to distinguish between "platform wallet theft" and "cryptographic algorithm quantum cracking." Under panic, these two risks are merged in interpretation: Bitcoin's security system is full of weaknesses; today exchanges and mining pools are hacked, and in the future, when fault-tolerant quantum computers mature, they will directly break the underlying signatures, allowing massive BTC assets with exposed public keys to be stolen directly. At that time, even self-custodied cold wallets will no longer be safe.
3. Views from Sun Yuchen and others continue to reinforce this main line: AI accelerates quantum algorithm iteration and fault-tolerant quantum routes, continuously compressing the window for Bitcoin to complete post-quantum upgrades. Custody incidents act as repeated rehearsals, training the market's panic sensitivity to "BTC asset theft risk."
3. Key dialectic: This event cannot directly prove Professor Gu's zero prophecy is credible; there is an essential gap between the two
1. The attack targets are completely different
This hacker attack: breaches human management, servers, and hot wallet permissions, belonging to traditional network security issues solvable by classical computers;
Quantum computer threat: uses Shor's algorithm to directly solve the ECDSA elliptic curve mathematical problem, deriving private keys from the cryptographic root, a protocol-level destructive risk.
Historically, multiple billion-level thefts like Mt.Gox and Bybit occurred, yet the Bitcoin network continued normal operation, consensus repaired, and prices rebounded. Custody thefts are industry normal black swan events, not equal to the underlying cryptography becoming invalid.
2. Zero is an extreme conclusion requiring multiple conditions simultaneously
To go to zero requires: ① Large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of stably breaking ECDSA; ② Bitcoin community, miners, nodes, and exchanges fail to reach consensus and cannot complete post-quantum upgrades; ③ Massive exposed public key assets are centrally stolen; ④ Institutional funds continuously and strategically withdraw, and consensus completely collapses.
Relying solely on exchange/mining pool theft only satisfies negative sentiment and cannot trigger the collapse of underlying cryptography.
3. Bitcoin is not without countermeasures
The Bitcoin community already has multiple post-quantum signature upgrade BIP proposals, but governance coordination is very difficult. If a soft fork upgrade is completed before practical quantum computers arrive, the underlying cryptographic risk can be resolved.
4. The real market impact of this main line: capital preference will accelerate switching
1. Continuous security incidents plus long-term quantum narratives resonate, causing long-term capital allocation to stratify: some completely leave the crypto track, turning to gold and government bonds; others stay in the track, prioritizing native quantum-resistant layers based on hash assumptions and flexible iterative signatures with account abstraction (such as STRK).
2. Valuation logic changes: future capital evaluation of a public chain will no longer only consider liquidity and ecosystem TVL; the weight of underlying cryptographic security will continue to rise. BTC's "digital gold premium" will remain under pressure, and valuation centers will continuously decline.
3. Short-term market: such major cases easily trigger panic selling and cascading liquidations, quickly driving BTC deep down; but as long as the underlying protocol is not broken, after a big drop there is still the possibility of consensus repair and rebound, not a one-step zero.
5. Summary in one sentence
The $1.45 billion theft incident is a strong warning of major risks in the crypto custody system, amplifying market anxiety about security vulnerabilities and making Professor Gu's zero view easier to be accepted and spread; but it itself is not a quantum attack and cannot serve as empirical evidence that "Bitcoin's underlying cryptography is about to fail and the zero prophecy is fulfilled." The truly decisive watershed is whether fault-tolerant quantum computers can stably run Shor's algorithm and whether Bitcoin can complete post-quantum upgrades within the window period.Binance "hacked" video goes viral, withdrawal gates closed — are you still asking if it's time to buy the dip?
Hot wallet abnormal outflow at midnight, on-chain estimates range from $2.5 billion to $5.8 billion, all deposits and withdrawals halted, USDT/USDC quickly froze over two billion.
The market immediately voted with its feet: BTC smashed through 81,000, directly probing 76,000, BNB flash crashed, DeFi chain liquidations in succession!
Additionally, latest data shows US 10-year Treasury yield dropped 8.5 basis points to a seven-week low of 4.902%, 2-year Treasury yield dropped 8.7 basis points to a seven-week low of 4.5648%.
Therefore, our trading suggestions are as follows:
⏳️BTC: short at 78,100-78,600, target 76,000, break below watch 75,000
⏳️ETH: short at 2,230-2,250, target 2,170, break below watch 2,000
So with these buffs stacking, we expect another wave of decline! Let's watch together! $BTC $ETH
