Aptos completed its four-year unlock schedule on October 12
Early investors and core contributors released a total of 325 million tokens, accounting for 32.5% of the genesis issuance, fully unlocked. Monthly new issuance was cut from 11.31 million tokens to 4.54 million, a 60% reduction.
In the same week, two major updates were launched: the crypto mempool went live on the mainnet (to prevent MEV frontrunning), and Block-STM v2 became the default parallel execution engine.
However, awkwardly, 174,000 tokens were burned in the past 30 days, while about 1.5 million tokens were issued as staking rewards, resulting in a net increase.
Selling pressure has eased, but demand has not yet arrived. Is this rally a short squeeze or a real reversal? $APT There’s still banging on the negotiation table, but the ships in the strait have already returned.
The disputes between the US and Iran are still fiercely debated in the news; today they say talks will happen, tomorrow they say it’s off, flipping back and forth every few days. Just following the news can be dizzying.
But ships don’t watch the news, they watch insurance premiums. The transport volume through Hormuz is starting to climb. Shipowners are the most honest group in this market; war risk insurance is bought with real money. If they dare to sail in, it means they’ve weighed the risks and can bear them.
At the most tense times recently, only 9 ships passed through this route per day; normally it’s dozens. Those who could detour have all done so. Now ships are returning one by one. The verbal disputes aren’t over yet, but the answer in the water has already been given.
Another news angle is even more interesting: the US is considering allowing previously sanctioned oil tankers back into operation. With both supply pipelines loosening, oil prices can’t hold firm. Tonight’s market is also green. The market’s pricing on this matter has shifted from expecting trouble to expecting none.
The implication down this chain is simple: as oil prices drop, the fuel for inflation diminishes. The bet on the FOMC pausing rate hikes at the end of the month becomes more solid. Tonight, Bitcoin has even nudged up to 83,700, just a breath away from 84,000.
So, as the old saying goes, mouths can lie, but ships don’t.
I’m betting that transport volume will continue to climb before the end of the month, and oil prices will keep falling. If I’m wrong, I’ll admit it. What do you think— is this a real easing or just another round of theatrics?

In the past 24 hours, the entire network liquidated $194 million in short positions.
Long positions only liquidated $84.72 million.
How this number is calculated:
Liquidation means positions are forcibly closed by the system.
When short positions are closed, the system has to buy back $BTC.
The volume of buybacks pushes the price upward.
The problem is here:
83062 was tested but was hammered back to 81678.
Buy orders failed to absorb the sell orders above.
Who is placing orders here:
87371 above is a short-term hurdle to overcome.
If the daily candle can't close above it, the rebound is just a rebound.
80433 below is the defense line of the 50-day moving average.
Shorts were liquidated in batches, but the price did not move forward.
This indicates someone has been selling above.
Liquidation data only shows who got liquidated, not who is absorbing the orders.

#$BTC #SpaceXQ3营收大增161%，AI业务成增长主力 Sold early before market open, large stock unlocks in the following daysTrash coins are flying everywhere; it seems even the whales can't pump the blue-chip coins anymore, let alone the top giants like $BTC and $ETH. They can only pump some trash coins to attract new retail investors. With more ETFs flowing out and the US debt crisis worsening, the inflow into the crypto space is decreasing, leading to more internal mutual cutting of retail investors. The whales have started pumping some trash coins like $DOOD, IOST, and other air coins to grab attention. Those newbies don't even check the funding rates and order book depth—these are old tricks from the early years of crypto. Just watch, with the wild surges and crashes, many newbies will be liquidated or wiped out again.The US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today released the first final rules for payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act, clarifying strict requirements for issuers regarding reserve assets, redemption, and custody, with an effective date around January 18, 2027. The federal stablecoin framework has taken a big step forward, but it will still be a few months before it truly opens the floodgates, so don't treat regulatory announcements as an immediate signal to price up. Spot BTC is about $83,483 (Beijing 20:55, OKX). This does not constitute investment advice.Meta Earnings Night: 90% Bet on a Rise, Zero Tolerance
Before Meta's earnings report is released, the market has already set high expectations: 90% of funds are betting on an after-hours rise. This is no ordinary earnings report; it's a "zero tolerance" test.
The contradiction is straightforward. Q2 revenue reached $60.8 billion, a 28% year-over-year increase, but quarterly capital expenditure soared to $31.1 billion; Q3 revenue guidance is $61 billion to $64 billion. They are making plenty of money but pouring huge amounts into AI infrastructure. Wall Street is no longer just watching ad growth; the only question now is: when will chips and data centers turn profitable?
Therefore, whether advertising can support high investment and whether management can clearly explain the AI monetization path will determine if the stock price rises or plunges after hours. As long as guidance is weak or profit margins are dragged down by AI, even impressive numbers could be hit hard. The U.S. stock market has shifted from "listening to stories" about AI to "looking at real money."
On a deeper level, the giants' money-burning race is overextending the U.S. dollar's credit. The purchasing power of fiat currency is continuously diluted, which instead strengthens Bitcoin as a long-term non-sovereign hard asset foundation. Meta's earnings focus on the profit statement, but the crypto community sees the other side of the monetary order.
#Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期 $DOOD surged 200% in two days without any substantial positive news. I believe the team raised the price to unload tokens to maintain operations. The team and company hold 22% of the shares. At TGE, the team's shares were locked for 1 year and released linearly over 3 years. The NFT industry has been sluggish in recent years. This project experienced a layoff last year and is positioned as an art IP creation. In 2025, it attempted to pivot to AI-related narratives but ultimately failed. Two of the original three founders had already left by 2025. 📉Three Faces of the Liquidation Map: Who's Drawing the Hunting Ground? 🎯
Don't treat the liquidation map as ordinary support and resistance; it's more like the "hunting boundary" set by the main players.
$BTC 🟠: The short-sellers' stop-loss wall is at $83,920 above, about 1.5% above the current price; below, the bulls' pain point at $82,206 is only 0.58% away. Touching the top will trigger short covering, but spot sell orders and moving averages are pressing down; a slight dip below will first sweep out the bulls. BTC stands in the middle of a minefield, prone to chain explosions whichever way it goes.
$ETH 🔵: ETF net inflows are a real bottom support, turning the short-term trend bullish; but the short-sellers' pain point at $2,474.86 is almost right next to the previous high of $2,477.70, like a mine planted at the old peak. The bulls' pain point at $2,424.21 is also just 0.58% below the current price. The money supporting the bottom and the liquidation money are racing in the same market.
$SOL 🟣: Alpenglow upgrade has landed, the narrative is big, but the price isn't buying it. The ceiling is at $107.51 above; below, $103.23 is 2.47% from the current price, and below $105 there is dense bull liquidation. Positive funding rates indicate the bulls aren't dead yet—good news plus lingering bullish sentiment is exactly the soil for a shakeout. Breaking $105 down to $103 will drag risk appetite down; holding $105 and pushing to $107 could make short covering the most violent spike. #BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 #SpaceXQ3营收大增161%，AI业务成增长主力 Tesla currently holds about 11,509 BTC, with a book value close to $1 billion, and has started accounting at fair value this year, so BTC price fluctuations will directly affect its "other income" in financial reports. However, it has basically not actively traded in recent years, so tonight's earnings report will mostly transmit sentiment about BTC rather than spot selling pressure. $BTC $ETH $TSLA After-hours likely to follow three scenarios: Exceeding expectations: stable profits, improved automotive gross margin, substantial progress in Robotaxi/FSD If Tesla's stock price breaks out with volume, the narrative of Musk's "magic return" will spread, risk appetite will rise, and BTC is likely to surge with the sentiment. The key is whether BTC can leverage this momentum to stand above 84,000 and push towards 85,000 to 87,000. Neutral: slight profit decline but deliveries and cash flow remain stable This has limited impact on BTC, which is more likely to continue its own oscillating pattern. In the short term, watch levels at 83,200, 84,400, and 85,000; without a breakout with volume, don't consider it a reversal. Below expectations: continued decline in gross margin, worsening free cash flow, amplified AI spending If Tesla's stock price plunges, it will cool risk appetite in tech stocks and crypto markets, and BTC may be dragged down short term. Be cautious if it breaks below 81,000, testing 80,000 again; if daily closes below 79,700, look towards 78,000. Key signals to watch tonight: 1. Tesla's after-hours stock price direction—whether it breaks out with volume or rallies then falls back. 2. Musk's comments on Robotaxi, FSD, Optimus11 BTC spot orders (about 93 million USD) just appeared on Binance.

About 100 BTC each
This is not a few whales. This is an entity encircling BTC in the 82.7K–84.2K range.All three screens turn green, but don’t rush to shout "It's back" 🌿
$BTC is near $82,000, ETH has returned above $2,400, and SOL stands above $105. Seeing all three screens turn green at once can indeed make your heart race 💓. But the more orderly the rebound, the more you have to ask: is this a trend ignition or just an emotional rush?
The capital side hasn’t given a clear answer yet. BTC and $ETH spot ETFs are still mainly seeing net outflows, and SOL-related products have not shown obvious inflows 💸. Prices are recovering, but funds haven’t entered in sync, which feels more like an emotional rebound after overselling rather than a reversal driven by new capital. Without a bottom support, the smoother the rebound, the more you need to guard against a sudden loss of momentum ⚠️.
The technical roles remain clear:
· BTC key level: must hold around $82,300; failure to hold means it’s still a retracement;
· ETH breakout: whether $2,420 can be effectively broken will decide if the recovery can spill over beyond BTC;
· $SOL resilience: standing above $106 makes short-term strength more convincing, otherwise it’s still prone to follow the broader market swings.
Everyone looks like a trend master when prices rise 😎, but the real difference is whether key levels can hold during pullbacks. For now, don’t rush to guess if it’s a reversal or a bull trap; wait for price confirmation at key levels first 👀. #BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 #SpaceXQ3营收大增161%，AI业务成增长主力 #奈飞Q3盈利超预期，广告业务增长放缓 #NetflixQ3ProfitBeat Netflix just smashed Q3.

Conclusion first: Iran is playing this game very skillfully; before the midterm elections, it has no reason to ease tensions. The more chaotic its opponents are, the more stable it remains. A divided America suits its interests best—who would throw away the chips they've gained early?
Now, looking at oil prices
WTI fell yesterday but bounced back above 100 today, locked in a high-level tug-of-war with no sign of letting go—this is a clear geopolitical signal. The problem is this: for the US stock market rebound to turn into a reversal, it relies on expectations of inflation peaking and interest rate hikes slowing. Oil prices stubbornly nailed at 100 mean less support for inflation to fall, directly discounting the quality of the rebound's reversal.
In short, if oil prices don't back down, the US stock market's momentum will be hard to sustain. A rebound is a rebound, but don't rush to go all-in on a reversal; first, watch how oil prices behave. #BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 Night Session Notes: After breaking through and holding for half the night, now just waiting for the US session to confirm
The evening post said to watch the 21:30 US session for confirmation. Less than an hour to the answer now, so let's clarify the current status: BTC at 83,614, up 2.5%, after breaking through 83,439 it hasn't fallen back all afternoon, reaching a high of 83,714; ETH at 2,470, up 3.2%, briefly surpassed 2,473 at 19:00 but didn't reach last night's 2,478 and pulled back, now hovering near the resistance.
One detail is good news for the bulls: BTC fees cooled from +0.0076% to +0.0042%. Despite the big rise, leveraged longs didn't get overexcited — the probability of this breakout going far is higher than when a bunch of people are crowded chasing.
The US session will test two things: BTC holding above 83,439 on a pullback and pushing higher to confirm the breakout, and ETH likely catching up to 2,478; if within half an hour of opening it gets smashed back below 83,439, today's entire breakout is questionable and should be treated as a false breakout.
Data speaks, mistakes are recognized. Tonight, what’s your bet: continuation in the US session, or a face slap at the open? $CORE October 21: Is CORE still around? On-chain data has already answered part of this question for her
Today, CORE's price is $0.01771, down 3.13% in 24 hours, with a market cap of about $29.56M, leaving less than 25% room from the all-time low of $0.01487.
But today, we won't talk about candlesticks. Let's discuss a question many people are asking in the square, but no one can give a definite answer: Is CORE still around?
This question stands because from public information, you can't find a clear project corresponding to CORE.
First set of answers: The chain is still running, but the reasons for running are decreasing
A community author conducted a fairly serious on-chain classification in mid-October, breaking down Core ecosystem projects into three categories: "real revenue / only partnership announcements / pure roadmap."
In the real revenue category, the numbers are as follows: Colend's TVL is about $20 million, 30-day fees about $400,000, protocol revenue about $12,700; Avalon Finance's TVL is about $250 million, but the actual borrowing volume on the Core chain is only about $700,000, with the bulk of funds on Bitlayer and Merlin; the native cross-chain bridge has daily active users of about 9,000+, daily transactions between 48,000 and 54,000, but 30-day fee income is only about $255.
Over 40,000 transactions, just over $200 in fees. This figure aligns with the previously discussed DEX trading volume: the chain is running, but the driving force is not real paid demand.
More importantly, the same analysis concludes: over 86% of the ecosystem's TVL is concentrated in "lending + re-staking," which is essentially layered leverage, and the liquidation cascade triggered by CORE's 50% single-day crash in March has already exposed the fragility of this structure once.
Second set of answers: SatPay is still around, but it answers a different question
SatPay is the key to the entire "revenue era" narrative in 2026. The logic is simple: use BTC staking fees plus SatPay card fees to repurchase CORE on the secondary market, replacing inflation subsidies.
On October 16, there was still a post on Gate Square reiterating this logic, saying SatPay allows users to stake BTC, apply for debit cards, and pay with fiat. But the discussion on OKX the same week gave a version: SatPay is delayed due to licensing and regulatory issues, with over 20,000 users in queue, and the launch time is undecided. OKX's CORE on-chain earning product has also been taken offline, citing risk control prudence.
The two versions are not entirely contradictory — product development and product generating verifiable revenue are two different things. The problem is, the repurchase narrative requires the latter, but currently only the former can be confirmed.
Up to today, there is no on-chain transaction marked as "repurchase transfer executed with ecosystem revenue." The roadmap states goals, but the ledger shows blanks.
Third set of answers: The timeline of node exit is more worth reading than the announcement itself
On October 1, Core DAO announced "gradually handing over the remaining block production roles to independent validators," phrased as a step toward decentralization.
But posts in the community that put the timeline together offer another interpretation: first something went wrong, then the handover was discussed. From late August to early September, some validators exploited a reward contract loophole to over-claim CORE; Core DAO urgently hard-forked, and exchanges like Coinbase temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals. Then in October, the official exit from block production was announced.
A validator must stake at least 50,000 CORE. At $0.02 per token, this stake is just over a thousand dollars nominally. When block rewards can't cover server and bandwidth costs, "exit" and "decentralization" are two ways of saying the same thing.
Some community analyses put it bluntly: what is shed is operational cost; what remains is governance and control. Responsibility is delegated, but power is not.
Fourth set of answers: Exchanges are voting with their feet
CoinEx started delisting CORE on September 11, closing the CORE/USDT trading pair, with withdrawal plans ending on December 18. KuCoin closed the CORE-USDT trading market and stopped deposits and earning products. Phemex delisted CORE/USDT spot, and Bitget delisted COREUSDT futures contracts and related services.
The number of exchanges supporting CORE has shrunk from the initial 34 to only 13 still maintaining trading.
Exchanges do not participate in narratives. They only look at liquidity, compliance risk, and operational costs.
$CORE 【Nearly $13 Billion in Overseas Crypto Scams Exposed, Is Trump Serious This Time?】
Trump ($TRUMP) plans to focus on cracking down on overseas crypto scams in White House cybercrime activities, including shutting down fake investment websites and combating online impersonation scams. In September, the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network also revealed that nearly $13 billion is linked to digital asset scams allegedly conducted by overseas scam hubs.
This is not just empty talk. The U.S. signed an executive order in March this year and expanded federal agencies' authority in August to use cyber tools and collaborate with private enterprises to combat transnational criminal networks. What remains to be seen is whether this mechanism can go beyond freezing accounts and shutting down websites to target the funding channels and behind-the-scenes organizations of scam groups.
For the crypto industry, the direct impact is more likely to fall on the compliance pressure of trading platforms, stablecoin issuers, and on-chain fund service providers. Fighting scams is the right thing to do, but the real turning point is not how tough the speeches are, but whether verifiable amounts frozen, prosecutions, and cross-border enforcement results are subsequently announced. If there are only statements without sustained action, the market will soon treat it as just political news and move on. $ZEC surged wildly by 1300, shorts were buried alive with 120 million liquidated, while whales smashed 37.57 million to open longs betting on NU7, retail investors caught in the middle got cut from both sides.
Today's spike in ZEC directly wiped out the shorts. It surged to 1298, with 12.15 million USD worth of short positions liquidated in 24 hours, and long liquidations once accounted for 88.7%. Retail traders holding shorts at 1280 and 1290 were left with nothing.
But the most intriguing part isn't the liquidations, it's what the whales are doing. Within 15 hours, two major whales opened nearly 30,000 ZEC 10x long contracts worth 37.57 million USD, openly betting on the NU7 upgrade on November 5. NU7 will cut block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, with a 99.9% voting approval rate—this is a hard catalyst.
On the other hand, on-chain data reveals shorts still hold 173 million USD in positions, with an 82% profit ratio and a long-short ratio of only 38%. What does this mean? Retail shorts at the top got liquidated, but the real big shorts are counting money at the bottom, already making hefty profits.
Macro factors haven't been idle either. The 10-year US Treasury yield broke 5%, Brent crude is at 110, the probability of the FOMC holding steady on October 28 is high, but the expectation for a rate hike in December remains above 75%. The knife hasn't fallen yet, it's just been postponed.
#BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 The cost of Core hard fork: Why are exchanges most afraid of this kind of upgrade?
A soft fork only modifies rule details; old nodes can still recognize the ledger, so exchanges don't need to make major changes. But a hard fork like Core that changes rewards and inflation models rewrites the underlying economic contract, making it the most troublesome upgrade for exchanges.
First, the risk of consensus split. If validators do not all upgrade synchronously, the chain will split into new and old versions, making it unclear which is the "legitimate CORE." This easily leads to replay attacks, double spending, assets stuck on the chain or sent to the wrong chain, and asset disputes that ultimately fall on the platform. During the 8.31 vulnerability incident, many exchanges immediately suspended CORE deposits and withdrawals for this reason.
Second, the ledger and balance logic changes. This hard fork directly destroys excess issued tokens and changes reward release rules. Exchanges must verify every balance, staking reward, and historical snapshot, resulting in a huge reconciliation workload. Any miscalculation leads to widespread user complaints and compensation.
Third, market expectations become chaotic, and liquidity is pressured. Hard fork news triggers sell pressure and sharp price fluctuations; suspending deposits and withdrawals amplifies panic. Platforms must bear liquidity volatility pressure while continuously explaining the fork logic and ghost token controversies.
In short: a soft fork changes traffic rules and operations continue as usual; a hard fork changes the ledger’s judgment standards, and any slight mistake by exchanges means bearing asset risk.$BTC market is really interesting. After scrolling through Twitter, I saw many people hesitating whether to go long here and preparing to add to their short positions.
Isn't this spot very close to the position on September 18? The candlestick stands firm at the lower edge of the monthly VWAP, the middle line of the descending channel, and the POC inside the box. It oscillates near the VWAP about to break through; above is the box midline, the box VAH, and the biggest fuel boost area for shorts inside the box.
Once it breaks through the fuel zone, short stop-losses will push it up along the trend, breaking through the descending channel, the box midline, and the upper edge of the VWAP.
But here, just like on September 18, a large number of retail traders are squeezed to short, and the long-short ratio is about to enter the red crowded zone.
— For reference. $CL The direction of crude oil has changed now, so precautions are necessary. The Iranian Foreign Minister publicly stated willingness to negotiate with the U.S. and proposed a seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
This means the risk of supply disruption from the Middle East has greatly decreased, and the premium that surged due to war panic will be drained, which is a solid bearish factor for crude oil.
Looking at the EIA inventory data at 10:30 tonight, the expectation is only a reduction of 820,000 barrels, which is nowhere near enough to support the market compared to the previous drastic cut of over 8 million barrels.
With geopolitical tensions cooling rapidly and data expectations being average, crude oil is very likely to continue downward. The strategy is mainly to short on rallies; avoid blindly going long. $BTC $ETH
#BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 #10月FOMC临近，美联储暂停加息还有哪些变数？
DOOD suddenly surged more than double, no positive news, it's just Up causing trouble
Straight to the conclusion: This rally has no fundamental support, it's purely internal fund rotation within the Korean Up exchange. DOOD's single-day trading volume on Up reached over $100 million, accounting for 10% of the platform's total daily volume, ranking first.
Small-cap coins naturally have narrow liquidity, and when Korean retail investors rush in all at once, price elasticity instantly maxes out. Simply put, it's a concentration of chips plus a liquidity gap, pushed up hard by buying pressure.
From a technical perspective, the 24-hour high touched 0.00319, the low was 0.00133, and now it has pulled back to around 0.0025, hovering. This kind of vertical surge followed by high-level sideways movement makes short-term chasing less profitable.
My view is straightforward: those holding the coin should consider taking profits in batches here; those not yet in should avoid catching a falling knife at this level. To see if the rebound can continue, focus on one thing—whether the Korean won premium on Up can be maintained and whether the volume can spill over to other platforms. If it's just Up playing internally, the platform depth can't sustain this volume continuously.
Direction-wise, in the short term, the probability of a correction to digest profits is higher, so suppress the impulse to chase highs first. Wait for a pullback with reduced volume to stabilize before discussing the possibility of a second wave.$ZEC market is extremely dramatic: a trader held a short position for 6 days and ultimately suffered a loss of 1.82 million before exiting; meanwhile, two whales opened $37.57 million worth of 10x long positions within 15 hours. The 1D net capital inflow is nearly 200 million, with extremely dense short liquidations between 1300-1320 above. The main force is openly forcing a short squeeze, taking advantage to buy low.$BILL
Really fed up, just say your understanding of this coin and get blocked
Is that the extent of your vision?
1. This coin transfers tokens on-chain to exchanges for selling, everyone can check this, but the platform can't see it?
This coin is riding on the AI listing. Most tokens are held by the project team, it has dropped 98%, who has that many coins to sell? Don't even think about it, for a coin with this market cap, what market behavior? Don't be ridiculous. It's just the project team.
2. This coin is about to unlock the airdrop, basically obtained for free in the early stage, zero cost. Now selling at this price, pulling the price up to give it to you? At least wait until the unlock and selling is done, slowly buy back chips and then pump the price, anyway it's still on the exchange, once pumped there will be participants.
3. This coin will fall even more!!!
Remember, don't fantasize about air coins. The 21st of every month is a nightmare for $AKE holders—2.1 billion tokens unlocking unfailingly. This October marks the 10th month, and the market already has muscle memory. After the September unlock, the price dropped 46%, but this time it only fell 17.8%, from 0.03619 to 0.02973, indicating that panic is diminishing at the margin.
I hit the highest certainty sell pressure window, with a 20x short position floating profit of +357%, but logically, we can't expect to replicate September's trend. The first panic was the most valuable; the tenth time has become a "known variable."
AKE contract open interest is 68.39 million, and funding rates fluctuate wildly. When shorts are overcrowded, the market makers have a strong motive to pump the price. A 28% rebound space is insignificant on minute-level candlesticks—one spike is enough to wash you out.
The selling pressure from unlocked tokens is being priced in by the market; the subsequent trend depends on "who will catch it." If major funds choose to accumulate here instead of dumping, a short squeeze rally could start at any time.
Discipline: lock in more than half the profits, move stop-loss up, and don't bet on a third time. Trading is a probability game, not a faith game. #BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 $BTC $ETH Meta will release its Q3 earnings report after the U.S. stock market closes tonight, with numbers coming out around 4 AM Beijing time tomorrow morning. On the OKX Orbit prediction market, 81% are betting that Meta will beat expectations, with a No bet costing only 20 cents. Speaking of revenue, Meta has beaten expectations for 16 consecutive quarters, so an 81% bet isn't unreasonable. But this time, the focus isn't on revenue; it's on GAAP earnings per share, with the threshold set at $6.31—only strictly exceeding that counts as a Yes. I calculated that this time GAAP EPS will be around $3, about half less than $6.31. The reason is that on August 26, Meta settled with state attorneys general for up to about $18 billion, payable over 10 years, and the court approved it that day. The company said at the time that it would record a one-time legal expense of about $10 billion in Q3, which was not included in the July expense guidance. If the $10 billion is tax-deductible, EPS will be reduced by about $3.3; if not, EPS will be reduced by about $3.9. The company hasn't said whether it is deductible. Excluding this expense, Wall Street estimates EPS at about $6.5, so the $6.31 threshold basically doesn't account for it. After deducting it, EPS is only between $2.6 and $3.8. Institutions that include this expense estimate Bank of America at $3.79 and Bloomberg consensus at $3.56. Conversely, to exceed $6.31, EPS excluding this provision would need to be above $9.6. Last quarter it was only $6.1.The hotspot center of this round of memes is no longer $DOGE Dogecoin. Funds have shifted from buying for fun to buying logic and narrative:
1. Institutionalization of DOGE is receding, but a new story has yet to be found. On the 9th, DogeOS testnet went live, expanding into DeFi scenarios.
Of course, its market cap is still the leader in the sector, rising only 6% in 30 days, maintaining its leading position and premium.
2. $PEPE is quietly emerging due to derivative demand. The daily technicals are much stronger, with the price above all 8 moving averages and the 50-day moving average, daily RSI at 61, and 4-hour RSI already hitting the overbought zone at 70.
Kalshi applied to the CFTC on October 6 for PEPE perpetual futures (though withdrawn two days later), indicating that traditional prediction markets are eyeing its volatility.
3. $TRUMP's technicals are bearish, with the current price below the 50-day (2.02) and 200-day moving averages, daily RSI only 41, MACD showing a green bar, and a downward daily trend.
This is basically the worst political meme. It dropped 14.2% in 30 days, and the team's continuous token fund extraction is suppressing the price, making it the harshest example among memes.$PEPE Recently, Sun Yuchen's public wallet
bought about 28.44 million USD worth of pepe
After my on-chain query, this is indeed true
Why did Sun suddenly buy $PEPE?
I think there is one reason, because a crypto asset management company submitted an ETF application for $PEPE to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
The first submission was on April 8, 2026, and on October 2, a revised document was submitted again. Shortly after the submission, Sun Yuchen bought pepe 😀
We don't know the progress after submission, but whether the big shots know or not is unclear 😜 $BTC $SOL
#BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 The October FOMC is approaching, and the market is shouting "pause rate hikes." Can Bitcoin pop the champagne early? Pharaoh thinks it's better to hold the bottle cap down first. The real uncertainty is whether the Fed will pause while reminding the market that rate hikes could still happen later. Reuters' latest survey shows that out of 100 economists, 94 expect no change in October, but all respondents expect a rate hike in December. Note, this is economists' prediction, not a Fed promise. In plain language: not hitting this time doesn't mean the rules are thrown out. Earlier, Powell didn't give advance hints in Bangkok, which lowered market expectations for an October hike. But he also mentioned that the investment boom is pushing up demand and adding inflationary pressure. Just because he didn't sound hawkish doesn't mean the hawks have gone vegetarian. For Bitcoin, I'm more cautious about a "pause leading to a spike and then a drop." Since a pause is widely expected, its arrival may not bring extra surprises; if the press conference continues to emphasize tightening, Bitcoin might just stand up and then be pushed back down into the chair. Only if the wording is milder than expected and funds are willing to buy will the rebound have more confidence. Mark the time: decision announced at 2:00 AM Beijing time on October 29, press conference at 2:30 AM. According to the official schedule, there will be no regular quarterly economic forecast or dot plot this time! Of course, if Bitcoin rises to the 85,500-86,000 range, Pharaoh thinks a short position for 1,000-1,500 points profit wouldn't be excessive! Pharaoh's one sentence: a pause is like easing off the brake a little; it's still early to floor the gas pedal. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #10月FOMCBrothers, BlackRock has made a move again!
This time, they've equipped Bitcoin with an airbag: PBIT, which offers protection if it drops below about 90%, at the cost of capped gains. It was just submitted to the SEC on the 19th, and we might see it as soon as January next year.
On the same day, IBIT brought in $665 million, the strongest day in over a year.
Think about it carefully: even the "fear of falling" crowd on Wall Street is starting to be taken care of, what does that mean? It means Bitcoin is no longer about whether to buy, but about how to buy. The perspective needs to open up.
BTC is now at 83,336, grinding between 80,000 and 87,000 for a month. Many people find it slow, but I actually think slow is how big money enters the market.
Of course, a word of caution upfront: if 80,000 breaks and ETFs keep flowing out, then I might be overthinking it.

#BTC现货ETF连续净流入，市场反应有限 #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点
Here are the most essential core conclusions👇🔥
First, Tesla's Q3 deliveries exceeded expectations mainly due to concentrated orders during the subsidy window and clearing inventory. The automotive gross margin only slightly recovered to 15.4%, with no significant rebound in per-vehicle profit, and cash flow remains healthy.
Robotaxi has launched operations in two US cities, while the Optimus humanoid robot will only have a mass-producible prototype by Q1 2026. The AI business progress is slightly slower than previous market expectations.
The final financial report shows revenue far exceeding expectations but net profit declined 29% year-over-year. Relying solely on sales volume to boost valuation is unsustainable; profit recovery is the key factor for whether Tesla's stock price can strengthen going forward.Liquidation data is not the target price
In the past 24 hours, $ETH short positions worth 62.16 million were liquidated.
Long positions only cleared 28.44 million.
How this number is calculated:
Liquidation statistics only record already executed forced liquidations.
Short positions being cleared means the price rose, and the system bought back for the shorts.
This buyback then pushes the price up a bit more.
Common misunderstanding:
Many people treat liquidation volume as how much room is left above.
What has been liquidated is in the past, not open orders.
What you really need to look at is where the remaining unliquidated short orders are placed.
That batch is still there; the price has to move up to trigger their liquidation.
This round of short squeezes is driven by the price movement itself, not by anyone shouting it up.
The next batch of liquidations will only happen after the price reaches their forced liquidation level.

#$ETH Hard fork changes the constitution, soft fork changes the traffic rules: Why must Core's three upgrades be "hard"?
This analogy is easy to understand: a soft fork modifies traffic rules by adding restrictions and new features within the existing consensus framework; old nodes can still recognize the ledger, maintaining backward compatibility. A hard fork is like amending the constitution, rewriting the foundation of the underlying consensus, token issuance, and reward settlement; the old rules no longer recognize the new ledger.
Core's three upgrades, especially Hermes and the 8.31 vulnerability fix, all touch on "constitutional-level rules": validator reward logic, inflation release curve, staking vote settlement, and ledger determination of consensus rewards. Such core economic rule vulnerabilities cannot be fully blocked by a soft fork. Soft forks can only add constraints and cannot invalidate the original reward logic; the loopholes persist, and the risk of unauthorized inflation cannot be completely closed.
But the cost of a hard fork is visibly significant: new and old nodes are incompatible, requiring all validators across the network to upgrade simultaneously, posing risks of chain splits and community fractures. Controversies such as ghost tokens and inflation curve disruption also arise from this.
In summary: if only adding transaction features or optimizing speed, a soft fork suffices; once rewriting the token supply or reward distribution—these fundamental economic contracts—Core has no compromise and must hard fork. This is not a preference but an inevitable choice at the rule level.#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 My view: How to interpret the delivery data
Higher than Wall Street expectations, indicating demand has not collapsed and the fundamentals are stable; energy storage business growth is strong, serving as a second growth curve
The risk is year-on-year negative growth, and the delivery numbers are propped up by low-priced volume models, which thins the profit per unit sold. Simply pushing volume offers limited profit help, which is the source of market anxiety.
Retail investors are prone to pitfalls, seeing deliveries exceed expectations and expecting a big rally, but institutions have already priced in this positive news; capital is now focused only on gross margin and free cash flow.
What really needs attention this time is the automotive business gross margin (excluding ZEV credits)
This is the most important indicator. The continuous decline over the past few quarters is the root cause of the sustained pressure on the stock price. If gross margin rises sequentially this time, it signals profit recovery; if it continues downward, no matter how good the deliveries look, capital will vote with their feet.
2. Robotaxi (Cybercab) and FSD progress
A large part of Tesla's current valuation is not from car sales but from expectations of autonomous driving commercialization. The market wants to see: fleet expansion pace, paid subscription conversion, and Robotaxi rollout timeline. These are key to whether it can break out of the "ordinary automaker valuation".
3. Optimus humanoid robot
This is a long-term story, not contributing to profits in the short term, but Musk often uses it to talk about long-term potential; the earnings call will look for production volume and cost reduction paths. Only progress beyond expectations will excite sentiment; without substantial implementation, it remains just a theme.$BTC stuck at 82.7K, I'm staring at this sideways line with a bit of an itchy palm. Do you also have that impulse of "even though it hasn't broken the level, I just want to reduce a bit first"? The real feeling from watching the market these past two days is: the price hasn't moved much, but the mindset is already wearing thin. BTC is still oscillating within the large range of 80K to 87K, currently around 82.7K, seemingly calm on the surface but a bit restless underneath. Reviewing my own positions, I found the most common mistake isn't misreading the direction, but getting itchy to add positions in the middle of the range and messing up the rhythm. Here are the key levels for easy reference against your own trades: - 81.3K is a recent important support; breaking below it will clearly weaken short-term sentiment - 83.4K is the confirmation zone for an upward move; only by standing above it can the rebound tone be regained - 84.4K is the next reference level for upward movement - 80K is a more realistic downside target if support fails Why am I writing this as a risk management diary? Because spot ETF inflows have recently improved, but a single day of strengthening doesn't mean sustained buying is back. More importantly, when price performance is weak, leverage is rising, and this combination often means volatility is easily amplified: chasing prices on a breakout is costly, and a downward spike easily triggers forced liquidations. In other words, the market is not trading a "bull comeback" now, but rather "who breaks first." The bullish path is not impossible: as long as 81.3K holds, the range-bound consolidation can continue to digest selling pressure, and once 83.4K is taken with volume, sentiment recovery will first transmit to BTC and ETH, then drive some altcoins to briefly appear.$BAT is expected to have the whales dump more than 10% of the supply tomorrow, continuously selling on-chain without turning back.$ZEC has risen more than 12% in 24 hours, standing near $1280, and has increased over 148% since the beginning of the year 🔥 Today, mainstream coins generally rose 2% to 5%, but this single coin has left the entire sector behind.
The reason is straightforward: developers have just set the mainnet activation height for the NU7 upgrade at block 3,543,405, expected to go live around November 5. After the upgrade, block time will be cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, tripling confirmation speed, and a fee burn mechanism will be added. The old Sprout privacy pool will also be shut down. Along with Monero and other privacy coins strengthening together, the sector's funds seem to be consolidating.
However, this leverage is very aggressive. ZEC contract positions have risen 24% in 24 hours, twice the price increase, with an annualized funding rate of about 10%. Active sell orders have been continuously hitting highs to push prices down. The bulls are already quite crowded.
Next, watch three things. First, the Zcash Foundation's preparation checklist has only completed 6 out of 12 items, and node synchronization issues remain unresolved. If the upgrade is delayed, expectations may reverse. Second, with bulls so crowded, any disturbance could trigger a chain liquidation. Third, even if the upgrade goes smoothly, after "good news is priced in," whether funds stay or withdraw remains to be seen.Term Structure Radar
The first-level positive basis for $BTC corresponds to a very small scale. The near-month buy and far-month sell quote spread is +0.95%, with the first-level pairing scale about $987; based on a 10,000 scale, this level only covers about 10%. The first-level volume is very small, so no matter how good the curve looks, it is difficult to execute trades by volume.
The first-level positive basis for $ETH corresponds to a very small scale. The near-month buy and far-month sell quote spread is +0.6%, with the first-level pairing scale about $994; based on a 10,000 scale, this level only covers about 10%. The curve has shape, but the volume is too small.
For $SOL, the mark basis is positive, but the near-month buy and far-month sell first-level quotes are inverted. Near-month annualized +2.32%, far-month annualized +0.31%, the near end is more expensive; mark near-far difference +0.07%, near-month buy and far-month sell first-level quote spread -1.16%. The executable direction is opposite to the mark.Although $CL crude oil fell back after hitting $100, the overall trend has not been broken. The pullback is still a good opportunity to build positions, and there is still significant upside potential.
Crude oil hits 100 and then pulls back—that's the time to get in! The US-Iran talks have collapsed, so go long near 98 with targets at 100→102!
Why such a strong move? Because the US-Iran talks broke down! Today Iran directly denied any substantial progress in diplomatic negotiations. Market expectations for a ceasefire and supply restoration cooled off immediately. Coupled with a decline in US crude inventories, oil prices surged right away. The core of this rally is not just inventory reduction; the market is worried about ongoing Middle East conflicts, increased transportation risks in the Strait of Hormuz, and the risk premium for supply disruptions is rising. Brent is much more expensive than WTI, indicating that international shipping and Middle East supply risks are being closely watched by the market.
Looking ahead, it depends on US-Iran negotiations. If the stalemate continues and shipping risks heat up, oil prices will keep rising! The operation is simple: build long positions near 98 on the pullback, first target 100, then 102 if it breaks through. Set stop loss at 96. Use stop loss carefully; geopolitical market volatility is high, but the overall trend is bullish, so the pullback is the time to act.$DOOD This rise is due to on-chain capital inflow, with more small retail short positions entering the contractWatching the distance from 1296 to 1271,
a strange thought suddenly popped into my mind: if a tree suddenly grows two meters taller within a few hours, do you think it's because it is full of vitality, or is someone desperately using a jack underneath to force it up?
ZEC's surge from 1048 to 1296 really looks like a tree being forcibly propped up. The market is buzzing about CoinDesk's monthly report, the NU7 upgrade, and ETF expectations, but looking at the whole network, Grayscale's ZCSH has actually seen continuous net outflows recently, losing nearly 59 million in the first few days of October, with institutions pulling in and out. This rally lacks solid blood-backed chips; it's more about leveraged funds overdrawing sentiment. The retreat of derivative collateral quality (like earlier APR) also confirms the new ecosystem's quick rebound and quick retreat.
The current price at 1271 is stuck in an awkward suspended position, with heavy resistance between 1288-1296, and real support only at 1048-1080. BTC is stuck in a tug-of-war around 82,700, and with the overall ETF outflows, ZEC's high Beta nature means it will fluctuate more violently. Once the jack (long leverage) withdraws, the pullback will be very fast.
Going long at this position is like trying to enjoy shade on a shaky tree. It is recommended to reduce leverage and lock in profits on rallies, not chase highs, and keep a close eye on the 1048 bottom line. There is no absolute safety in contracts; capital preservation comes first. $BTC $ETH $ZEC BTC vs. Nasdaq

$BTC $ETH $OKB $OKB#CanBTCHold80K #CanBTCReboundLast #WillFedPauseInOctober XAU's drop to 4114 this morning was not a breakdown, but a stop-hunt
At 09:00, the largest volume of the day, 7.23 million, was released, piercing through 4121 down to 4114.0, then closing back above 4127. Largest volume, lowest price, then a recovery — this is a stop-loss sweep, not a real breakdown. Those who shorted below 4121 in the morning are now stuck grinding above 4130.
From 09:00 until now, over eleven 1H candles, the center of gravity has been moving upward: at 14:00, probing 4119 was the last bottom test; at 18:00, with 3.7 million volume, it closed at 4134; at 19:00, with 4.44 million volume, it closed at 4147, already standing above the MA20 at 4129.8.
The real resistance above is still the 4161.7 left by the 10.79 million volume candle at 22:00.

(Not investment advice, trade at your own risk)$DOOD Experienced veterans in the crypto circle all know a trick: when a coin's funding rate is driven to an exaggerated -0.7%, it's often not the shorts who are doomed, but the manipulative whales using high negative funding rates as bait to lure bargain-hunting retail investors into taking the bags!
Although currently 67.95% of longs show unrealized profits, making it seem like you can both earn and get free funding, a closer look reveals that nearly one-third of the recently entered long positions have already started losing money. The whales pump the price purely to find counterparties to unload their 3.9 million USDT long positions. Chasing that small funding interest at the peak to catch the knife for the whales is just reckless.

Which layer 1 would you hold for 2027?
Only spot buy with proper risk management. Not financial advice.The Dogecoin Foundation recently decided to establish Dogecoin Labs, integrating the entire suite of products including the MyDoge wallet, DogeOS platform, and Such App, led by Jordan Jefferson.
Many people's first reaction might be to see this as just another routine move, but if you track on-chain liquidity, you'll find this is the clearest foundational redemption DOGE has seen since its inception.
Previously, DOGE's logic was very straightforward, relying solely on consensus and Meme traffic support. But now, the market sees tens of thousands of new Memes emerging daily, constantly dividing retail investors' attention. Relying purely on the "holder community" and "cultural memes" to withstand selling pressure has long since reached a marginal effect near zero.
Dogecoin Labs integrates consumer-grade payments, DeFi, and gaming, with the deeper logic of helping DOGE build a real "reservoir" for capital accumulation.
In the past, holding DOGE meant that aside from cashing out on exchanges, there were almost no on-chain scenarios to generate yield. This time, through DogeOS and DeFi interfaces, holders can circulate and collateralize funds within the ecosystem during payments and interactions, no longer needing to frequently convert to USDT. For large holders, this directly reduces slippage and cross-chain costs during portfolio adjustments. $DOGE #doge$BTC may be getting a bullish signal from Netflix’s earnings. 📈
Here’s the logic:
Netflix beats expectations = consumer spending remains strong = the economy holds up = fewer reasons for rate cuts. Yet, if liquidity stays abundant, risk assets could continue moving higher.
We’ve seen a similar setup in 2024, when strong earnings and supportive liquidity helped fuel rallies in the NASDAQ and Bitcoin.
With Netflix jumping 8% after hours, could BTC be next? 👀
#TeslaQ3ProfitAndMargins $BTC
Ethereum has risen more than Bitcoin today, but I'm not in a hurry to take it as a sign of strength. To really change my cautious judgment, I need to see if Bitcoin can hold up when it takes a break; otherwise, just looking at the gains might overestimate Ethereum's momentum. What do you think about Ethereum's recent movement? Is it catching up with the overall market, or is it starting to have its own rhythm? What is your basis for this judgment? In the 13F filing submitted to the SEC by Franklin Templeton on October 20, its OnChainUSGovernmentMoneyFund holds 1.2 million SOL, valued at $126 million at the time. This number was zero last quarter, marking the first time it disclosed its SOL exposure.
Money market funds handle on-chain assets differently. Instead of hedging arbitrage in the futures market, they directly place SOL on the balance sheet alongside government bonds and repurchase agreements. This treats SOL as a long-term liquid asset, not a short-term trading instrument.
Franklin's fund manages over $4 billion in assets, mainly for institutional and high-net-worth clients. Their willingness to allocate $126 million in SOL means their internal risk control and compliance have approved this exposure. The risk control standards for money market funds are much stricter than those for hedge funds, so SOL at least is no longer considered untouchable in regulatory classification.
Institutional moves have a lag; the 13F filing discloses holdings as of the end of last quarter, so the actual position building may have started earlier. But once they start accumulating, subsequent actions will be continuous. This Franklin disclosure is the first, not the last.
$SOL is currently around 106, institutions are already accumulating it, and retail investors should watch whether they continue to increase their positions. The 13F updates quarterly, with the next disclosure window in mid-January next year. Then we can see if the 1.2 million SOL holding has changed. If it continues to increase, that is a vote with real money.
