When did MEME coins on SOL start becoming difficult to trade? I think there are two key points:
1. pumpfun no longer relies on Raydium and created its own exchange. Newly launched coin pools stay on their own DEX, trying to capture all the profits. This year Raydium also jointly launched a launchpad, increasing the number of launch projects, making it harder for retail investors to operate.
2. Creator fees were added. Previously, playing MEME basically had no taxes or fees, and the project teams couldn't interfere with trading, making trading very pure. Now various transaction taxes keep emerging, and after the project teams sell their coins, they can still continuously collect fees, greatly diminishing the trading experience.
I really miss the atmosphere of playing MEME on SOL two years ago, when all you needed to watch were the narrative, volume, and K-line.$BTC BTC short-term holders' positions have risen to 4.08 million coins. On the market front, the Fed's rate hike expectations for October have fallen to about 17%, leading to a recovery in risk appetite. Fed Chair Powell made no prior commitments regarding October or December policies; trading prices indicate the market prefers to wait for more economic data.
However, inflation pressure remains: CPI year-on-year at 3.7%, PPI year-on-year at 6.3%. The Fed is merely postponing rate hikes, so inflation victory is not guaranteed, and the market tends to overlook the potential tightening risk in December.
For BTC, the downward trend in rate hike probability brings valuation recovery but is unlikely to generate sustained buying. If oil prices, U.S. Treasury yields, or inflation expectations rebound, rate hike expectations could quickly rise again.
Going forward, the focus should not only be on the October meeting but also closely monitor December rate pricing. Near-term expectations are easing while long-term remain hawkish, so assets will continue to fluctuate. It is possible to trade on this round of expectation recovery, but positions must reserve tolerance for data reversals.
#Bitcoin #FedOctoberRateHikeProbabilityDropsToAbout17%
Main adjustments: compressed repetitive expressions, streamlined the logic of "expectation recovery — inflation risk — BTC impact — subsequent observation," and highlighted "potential December tightening risk" and "position tolerance" more prominently.$TIA's gain yesterday was quite impressive, but a one-day increase only indicates short-term capital concentration and does not mean that the long-term supply and demand have changed. Ajian does not believe that the entire modular blockchain sector has regained long-term capital. The same applies to $EIGEN; yesterday's rise seems more like a spread from meme to infrastructure assets and is not enough to be called a sector rebound. If the market truly prefers infrastructure again1. The necessity of the SpaceX and Tesla merger is whether the two companies can reduce the cost of orbital data centers through integration. Whether SpaceX's orbital data center and related business model can succeed ultimately comes down to an economic calculation. Analyst Wood Mackenzie estimates that currently, building a 1GW orbital data center costs about $170 billion, more than three times that of an equivalent-scale ground data center, with satellite and launch costs accounting for about 60%. Regardless of how many advantages orbital computing has in terms of energy, land, and grid constraints, as long as the unit computing power cost is significantly higher than ground solutions in the long term, large-scale commercialization will be difficult. So the question becomes: for producing the same unit of effective computing power, when can the full lifecycle cost of orbital deployment approach or even fall below that of ground deployment? 2. The current roadmap provided by SpaceX can be summarized in three points: reducing launch costs, improving the performance-to-power ratio of chips, and turning satellites and computing equipment into large-scale industrial products through vertical integration. Tesla happens to have the other half of the capabilities that SpaceX lacks here. In November 2025, Musk mentioned Tesla's AI5 chip in a conversation with Ron Baron. AI5 is mainly aimed at autonomous driving and Optimus inference tasks, and Musk's goal at the time was to achieve two to three times the performance per watt of Nvidia chips in these tasks #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Where is the highlight?US Stock Real Trading 11
As of 0:00 yesterday, QQQ dropped 1.56%, while I rose 0.16%. This week, the US stock market fell 5.52%, and I gained 2.79%, outperforming the market by over 8 points. Overall, this week has been quite good.
It's indeed not easy to make money in a bear market. The current market conditions are not suitable for being overly long. You can also refer to my position allocation: (only trading account, excluding savings) Eli Lilly 16.5%, Coca-Cola 16.5%, SK Hynix (short) 16.5%, S&P 33%, U33%. I even sold off TSMC, planning to buy it back when it drops to a better level. Overall, this is a very conservative approach. It's a pity about Eli Lilly and Coca-Cola because of historical reasons (you can refer to my US Stock Real Trading Issue 6 post), which led to very low positions previously. I didn't plan to adjust the positions later, so these two stocks rose 10 points this week, and I missed out. I only added to the positions at 7 PM last night, missing out on a lot.
That's about it overall. Have a great weekend everyone! Bro, the direction this wave took was right, but now is the profit protection phase, not the excitement phase. Unrealized gains are not profits; only closing the position counts.
Coin Entry Price Current Price ROI Key Levels/Suggestions
BTC 81744.3 81666.49 +1.90% Just broke even, signal significance outweighs the amount; move stop loss slightly above 81750–81850, partial profit-taking if it breaks below 80,500, target 80,000
ETH 2449.21 2422.83 +21.57% Strongest position, but 2400 is only about 0.95% from current price; suggest partial profit-taking near 2400, move stop loss above entry price, hold remaining position to target 2380/2350
DOGE 0.08131 0.08075 +13.73% Move stop loss slightly above 0.0813; partial profit-taking between 0.0795–0.078, don’t wait to sell all at 0.078
Total unrealized gains about 18.86U, all three positions short in the same direction with high correlation, diversification is false diversification, one rebound will cause simultaneous pullback. The three most important things to do now:
1. Move all stop losses to break-even: BTC just turned positive, easiest to get stopped out by a sudden spike; ETH/DOGE have profits, at least move stop loss slightly above entry price.
2. Take profits in batches, don’t be greedy for the last bit: ETH at 2400, DOGE at 0.0795–0.078, BTC at 80,500–80, $TIA has surged crazily these past two days
It rose 23% in a single day and accumulated 83% over four weeks. Among altcoins, it is the brightest star
The actual data stored on the Celestia network hasn't kept up. On October 16, the blob size was 2.01 billion bytes, less than 2.05 billion on the 15th
What’s really moving is leverage; $TIA futures open interest rose 55% in 24 hours, faster than the price increase
The volume forced buy-in by shorts is very small, under $2 million per token
In other words, the buying pressure from short squeezes is limited; newly opened futures bets are the main driver of the surge in open interest
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Altcoins now account for more than Bitcoin in open interest, reaching 41.4%
A similar crossover occurred in December 2024, after which altcoins dropped 44.3% in 90 days‼️❕
Price is running ahead of data, leverage is running ahead of price. This structure feels great when rising but turns quickly at the turning point
#TIA1. Your liquidation strategy (concise Chinese version)
ETH and SOL are both fully leveraged 50x long positions, sharing margin and compounding risk. Plan:
1. If there is a rebound, handle ETH first — it has the heaviest loss; reduce in batches near the entry price to relieve the greatest pressure first.
2. For SOL, wait for the rebound to approach the entry price before gradually reducing.
3. If the market continues to fall unilaterally, do not stubbornly hold — prioritize closing ETH to reduce the overall long exposure of the account.
Reflection: Multiple coins in the same direction + 50x full leverage concentrates risk highly; reversals cause fast and sharp drawdowns. Avoid heavy same-direction multi-coin positions in the future, lower leverage, and keep risk within an acceptable range.
---
2. Considering recent macro conditions: your "priority to reduce ETH" logic is supported in the current environment, but pay attention to timing
September CPI year-on-year 3.7% (expected 3.6%), PPI year-on-year 6.3% (far exceeding expectations, highest since December 2022), core CPI month-on-month steady at 0.3% for two consecutive months. The probability of a rate hike before year-end once approached 90%; after CPI, the October rate hike probability jumped from about 20% to around 50%, then fell back to about 30%, but the December rate hike pricing remains "firmly locked in." In the dot plot, 16 of 18 officials expect at least one more rate hike this year; none expect a rate cut.
This means for your positions: high interest rates will be maintained longer → risk assets (including ETH, SOL$DOGE #特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点

Those hoarding Dogecoin hoping to get rich quick are "fools."
From the perspective of data and market capitalization, it's almost impossible for Dogecoin to rise to 8 dollars, at least under the current token mechanism and market scale, which is an extremely low-probability event.
In other words, even if it rises to 1 dollar, the market cap would have to exceed 150 billion dollars; to reach 8 dollars, a massive amount of global funds would need to continuously flow in and be locked in DOGE for the long term. Meanwhile, DOGE has no yield, no interest, no scarcity cap, and is continuously issued every year, so holders have no natural incentive to lock their coins long-term.
Currently, more optimistic analyses believe DOGE could reach 0.30-1 dollar in a strong bull market, with only a very few extremely optimistic views mentioning higher targets. But 8 dollars is not within the mainstream analysis framework and is more like a "dream price" in community sentiment. #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus Looking at BTC, not just BTC
The more uncertain the market, the more Bitcoin dominance acts like a sentiment thermometer. When risk appetite contracts, funds tend to flow first to the most liquid and widely agreed-upon asset, making BTC a temporary safe haven, while altcoins face more obvious selling pressure.
But note: BTC stabilizing does not mean the entire market is safe. If BTC holds steady sideways but altcoins continue to weaken, it looks more like funds are clustering defensively rather than broadly returning to risk-taking. At this time, the market prefers "relative safety," not "full-on offense."
True recovery is not just about BTC's strength but whether that strength can spill over. Improvements in altcoin trading volume, on-chain activity, sector rotation, and whether the total market cap can rise as dominance falls are the real signs of diffusion.
So, in the short term, use BTC dominance to read sentiment; in the long term, use capital diffusion to verify recovery. Don't mistake BTC's stability for a springtime for the entire market. $BTC

#特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ To add a bit more, the fundamentals of $STRK, $PYTH, and $ZRO have all been pretty good recently. Ajian's homepage has some analysis on this, but the simultaneous drop today indicates that altcoin liquidity remains fragile. This isn't an issue with any single project; when funds withdraw from high-volatility assets, prices quickly lose support. This precisely shows that the market currently favors selective trading rather than a systemic altcoin rebound. Ordinary traders can take this opportunity to judge whether they should continue to increase their positions in the entire altcoin market Last night, watching ETH's fake breakout at 2500, I actually felt a jolt in my heart. Have you ever had that feeling where you know you should be excited, but your body preemptively reduces your position? In the afternoon, ETH tried 2500 once, but was pushed back decisively. When the US stock market opened in the evening, it slid down further along with the stock index. But honestly, this round of crypto decline is relatively mild; at least there was no panic selling. BTC closed near 79,000 the day before yesterday, moving so fast that it made me wonder if the market has already priced in the bad news. What I care about now is not whether it falls or not, but that the capital preference has changed. In the past, at times like this, money would flee to BTC and ETH, while altcoins would bleed heavily. This time? BTC and ETH are indeed relatively resistant to the drop, but altcoins haven't experienced a complete collapse either. What does this indicate? It means that funds in the market haven't massively withdrawn; they're just repositioning. Some people choose to wait and see, some are still betting on a rebound, and some are already tired, with narrative fatigue clearly evident. The FOMO sentiment is almost invisible, replaced by hesitation and numbness. This emotional structure is actually quite subtle. Bulls don't dare to chase, bears don't dare to heavily short; everyone is waiting for a clearer signal. The bullish logic is this: if the US stock market is just undergoing a normal correction and crypto has already had a round of decline in advance, then ETH reclaiming 2500 is only a matter of time, which will trigger a wave of catch-up buying sentiment, and altcoins will also get a breather. But the risk is also clear: if the US stock market adjustment has just begun#BarclaysScenarioOfSpaceXAcquiringTesla
Those analysts at Barclays wrote a whole script, saying SpaceX is going to acquire Tesla.
It reads like it's real. They say the announcement could come as soon as before December 6, with 1 Tesla share exchanged for 0.7 SpaceX shares. If it really happens, Musk's voting power could reach 56%, giving him absolute control. What's the point? To tie AI, robotics, energy, and rockets all into one powerhouse.
But I have to pour cold water on this for you guys. This is purely analysts crunching numbers in their office, no official board resolutions, no formal negotiations—don't take it as gospel.
What does it have to do with us?
First, if these two trillion-dollar giants really merge, all the money will concentrate into this super platform. For us in crypto, a high-volatility asset class, the short-term liquidity available will be even less.
Second, the core of the merger is about AI, energy, and aerospace. The demand for computing hardware will still rise, so miners' costs won't go down at all. Those small crypto projects just riding the AI hype with whitepapers won't stand a chance against the giants.
My view is simple.
Capital markets love stories. When reports like this come out, it's most likely to hype up the upcoming market moves. Let's just watch the show and definitely don't chase those random "merger concept" pump-and-dump coins—they'll leave you holding the bag. Just wait patiently for the macro data.
What do you think? $BTC $ETH 20261017
3. The number of wallets holding 10-10,000 BTC has risen to 20,338, reaching a historic high
1. Large holders are buying, while others are desperately selling; both directions are happening simultaneously
2. Santiment: These wallets (holding 10-10,000 BTC) usually turn before the price does, so they are firm and typically a bottom signal. The price oscillates back and forth in the middle, but they haven't left. Short term may continue to fall
3. The futures market has turned; BTC funding rates on Binance have dropped below zero: most are shorting, expecting a drop; the last time it was this pessimistic was in June, when BTC was at 62,000, and money was also flowing out
4. US BTC spot net inflows were 3.5 billion and 2.6 billion in August and September respectively, with about 540 million net outflow in the first two weeks of October
5. The turning point is inflation data, hotter than expected, raising the probability of rate hikes
6. Key levels:
Downside: 80,000 has the largest buy wall, below that is 78,000
Upside: 80,000 is the cost basis for buyers over 8 to 12 months and also the level where shorts will be squeezed
Only when the daily closes above 88,000+, combined with ETF inflows, can it be said that someone is really stepping in
7. If the price retests 80,000, watch if the wallet number continues to rise; large holders buying at low prices is a bullish signal
8. Large holders have hit a new high, shorts are also heavily stacked; historically, these two often happen simultaneously, then each goes their own wayThe market has been quite twisted recently: On the crude oil side, risks in Middle East transportation have heated up, and with U.S. crude oil inventories dropping by 8.6 million barrels in one week, supply expectations suddenly tightened, pushing oil prices up. However, the price surge driven by this geopolitical conflict has a significant emotional component; once the situation eases, the pullback will be quick, so be cautious about chasing highs.
On the crypto side, after a big drop, it's slowly recovering. BTC was pulled back after falling below 80,000, indicating buyers are stepping in at that level, but with CPI and PPI continuously running hot, inflation pressure remains, and the Fed's stance can stir risk assets at any time. The 80,000 level will see repeated battles, and the 83,000 mark is the threshold for a rebound; don’t rush to call a reversal before a volume breakout.
ETH is weaker; first watch if 2,400 can hold, and if it can’t reclaim 2,500, it can’t be considered strong. Plus, spot ETF funds are still flowing out, so whether the rebound has momentum needs a few more days to observe. Overall: crude oil is strong but with emotional overtones, crypto is in recovery but don’t be too optimistic.

#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？
#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 Tesla released the new generation Roadster last night, demonstrating short-distance flight and aerial attitude adjustment on-site using cold air thrusters. Musk stated this was developed in collaboration with SpaceX, with mass production expected in 2028. The news initially drove the stock price up by 4.62%, then it retraced and turned down by 1.16%. The rise and fall of $TSLA itself is the market repricing this story. What really matters is not the car, but the timing. This car was unveiled in 2017, originally planned for production in 2020, but has been repeatedly delayed until now; whether the market believes the new 2028 timeline is another matter. The flight feature sounds cool, but regulatory frameworks for flying cars on roads are not ready in any country, making implementation more difficult than the technology itself. The stock price rising then falling indicates the market is doing the math. The Roadster is a plus, but Tesla’s real problem now is fundamentals: Q3 deliveries fell 2.1% year-over-year, automotive business profit margins are under pressure, and Robotaxi commercialization is still in progress. Relying on a repeatedly delayed sports car cannot support anxiety over the core business. For $BTC, this matter is not direct. Tesla and SpaceX represent AI and advanced manufacturing directions; the bigger the hype, the greater the tech stock imagination space, and risk appetite may recover accordingly. But Tesla’s rise does not equal $BTC’s rise; their logics differ. $BTC is currently fluctuating around 82,000, with resistance from 83,500 to 84,500 and support from 81,500 to 82,000. Truly#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？
On-chain data shows that Bitcoin short-term holders (STH) have increased their holdings to 4.08 million coins.
Definition of STH: addresses holding for less than 155 days. This group is the most price-sensitive in the market—they tend to chase when prices rise and sell quickly when prices fall.
Currently at 4.08 million coins, this is below the peak levels of 2021 and even lower than in 2017.
Historical pattern: every bull market price peak often coincides with the exhaustion of STH buying momentum. The more STH there are, the more new buyers there are to take over; once this group's buying power is depleted, prices tend to stop rising.
From this perspective, 4.08 million coins are still some distance from the historical peak signal range—this is a somewhat optimistic interpretation.
But there is a key variable now:
Many of these 4.08 million STH accumulated their positions during BTC's decline from the $126,198 high— their cost basis ranges between $80,000 and $100,000.
The good news: September data shows the STH-SOPR 30-day moving average has returned to 1.01, surpassing the breakeven line for the first time in over a year, indicating reduced pressure from loss-cutting in short-term sell-offs.
The bad news: BTC is currently around $81,000, right in the cost pressure zone for many STH. If the market declines, this group is the most likely to stop-loss, which could easily trigger a chain reaction in price.
With STH increasing to 4.08 million, what’s your take—are new funds stepping in to take over, or is smart money waiting to exit?The most interesting contrast about BTC today: more people are long, yet contract funds are net outflow.
No guessing price direction today, let's analyze leverage and fund structure.
▍Positions remain, trading cools down
The total open interest of contracts across the network is about $140.564 billion, down only 0.51% in 24 hours, but trading volume dropped 22.28%.
This indicates trading activity declined faster, existing positions did not exit proportionally, and trading is quiet.
▍More bulls, but buy orders not necessarily dominant
The network-wide 24-hour active buy/sell ratio is 49.56% to 50.44%, with sell orders slightly dominant.
OKX's BTC account long-short ratio reaches 1.8, meaning about 64.3% of accounts are long, but this does not necessarily mean an advantage.
▍Spot and contracts diverge
BTC in the last 4 hours:
Spot net inflow of $10.8 million.
Contract net outflow of $80.82 million.
Extended to 24 hours, spot net inflow is $37.46 million, contract net outflow is $61.82 million.
According to this fund flow, spot shows net buying, contracts still dominated by active selling. But this does not prove all are shorts adding positions.
My judgment:
There is both support and divergence, not enough to confirm a reversal yet.
More worth watching than how many are bullish is whether subsequent buying can push the price up. Delivery volume exceeding expectations has laid the foundation for the revenue side, but the profitability side faces triple pressures of sluggish gross margins, energy storage deployment falling short of expectations, and surging R&D and capital expenditures. The probability of EPS missing expectations is high, and the overall earnings report presents a "mixed bag" pattern—revenue may slightly exceed expectations, but earnings per share are very likely below consensus. Market focus will quickly shift to management's statements on the progress of FSD v15, the commercialization pace of Robotaxi, and the full-year free cash flow guidance.
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 SanDisk really made me question life a bit this week 😇😇
At the beginning of the week, it was hovering around 1600, but once ChangXin Storage's new technology news came out, the entire storage sector got hit, and $SNDK just kept dropping all the way down
It fell 19% in a week, with the lowest point actually touching 1279...
I previously bought at 1419.1 and sold at 1504.6, so that trade was timely, then I bought back more than one long position at 1341.1
Yesterday I was still up over 50 USD, but today when I checked back, the price had dropped to around 1300 again
That's pretty frustrating
However, my fundamental judgment on SanDisk hasn't fundamentally changed for now; ChangXin's breakthrough is in DRAM technology, while SanDisk mainly works on NAND, so the two can't be directly equated
But the market has obviously started to reassess the entire storage sector, and next week I want to focus on the reaction around 1300
No matter how logical the fundamentals are, if the price keeps going down, you can't just pretend you don't see it
NFA, DYOR!
#韩股修复反弹，外资卖压能否缓解？ Take the newly launched ctusdt as an example: 1 billion tokens were issued, and on the blockchain, about 19% is circulating, which is 190 million. The current price is roughly $0.35. This DNA talks nicely about only 13% circulation and the rest locked, but you actually issued 10 billion tokens, bro. That means you already have 1.3 billion circulating. What are all these bulls thinking? Don't blindly follow the hype to go long. 📊 Profit & Margin Outlook
Analysts expect revenue to grow, but profitability may remain under pressure due to aggressive price cuts and substantial capital spending.
• EPS Expectations: Consensus forecasts range from $0.37 to $0.44 per share, below the peak levels seen in late 2025.
• Automotive Gross Margin Watch: Investors will be watching closely to see whether core automotive margins can stabilize or recover from the 16.3% reported in 2026.
#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins #US PPI Year-on-Year Rises to 6.3%
[Old Leek Observation] US PPI Year-on-Year Surges to 6.3%, Adding Uncertainty to Rate Cut Expectations
US September PPI year-on-year growth rose from 5.6% to 6.3%, with a month-on-month increase of 1.3%, marking the largest rise since March 2022. The rise in energy prices is a key driver of this rebound.
The issue is that if rising production costs continue to pass through to the consumer side, inflation may be harder to bring down than the market expects.
What does this mean for the crypto market?
If inflation continues to exceed expectations, the Federal Reserve's room for rate cuts may be limited, and the US dollar and US Treasury yields could again put pressure on risk assets like BTC.
But a rise in PPI alone doesn't necessarily mean the market will fall. Whether the shock from energy prices can persist and whether subsequent CPI follows suit are key to judging the inflation trend.
Right now, the market's biggest fear is not a temporary pause in rate cuts, but that the originally expected easing expectations are repeatedly broken by data. If inflation remains stubbornly high, it will also be harder for BTC to sustain gains driven by rate cut expectations.
Next, focus on upcoming inflation data and the market's repricing of the Federal Reserve's rate path. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $SOL is bearish, current price 104.82. Most of the liquidations in the past day were longs, with long positions liquidated by $3.26 million, significantly more than shorts. The price hasn't dropped much, but longs were knocked out first, indicating that during the intraday downward sweep, it was the leveraged longs chasing the highs who got squeezed out, while shorts just followed the trend. The $930 million open interest remains, so this liquidation volume is a small portion; leverage is far from cleaned out. If the price tests lower again, another batch of longs will be forced to exit. The funding rate has turned slightly negative, which only indicates a cooler sentiment and shouldn't be used as a reason. The chart shows lower highs, bearish moving average alignment, and volume contraction on rebounds, consistent with the liquidation direction. Next, it is more likely to retest around 102.43. The condition for a bullish reversal is the price reclaiming 107.37, with long liquidations no longer leading shorts.AVAX showed weak performance intraday, and despite increased volatility, it has yet to form an effective recovery, indicating that capital inflow into the public chain sector is still not clear enough. Avalanche's core strengths remain in subnets, institutional cooperation, RWA, and the gaming ecosystem, but whether these narratives can translate into token market performance ultimately depends on on-chain capital, user activity, and actual application revenue. Recently, the overall market is in a risk contraction phase, and highly elastic L1 assets are more susceptible to selling pressure. If RWA projects, ecosystem cooperation, or on-chain liquidity show continuous improvement later, AVAX's valuation expectations may be reignited; until then, its trend remains highly dependent on overall market sentiment. $AVAX
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 $BTC hasn't been checked for half a day, the 81,000 mark hasn't been broken, but it has climbed back a bit, now around 81,600.
This morning I was still pondering the situation in South Korea, but now the market itself is a more worthwhile signal to watch. It surged to 82,819 then dropped, bottoming at 80,780, and then was bought back — this is called absorption, not a crash.
What really caught my attention isn't the price, but the people. From the end of July until now, the short-term crowd has accumulated 420,000 more BTC, with positions piled up to the highest in four months. On one hand, the price has dropped a bit over seven days but is still higher than half a month ago; on the other hand, new money is desperately moving in.
These two facts together indicate that this position is not where retail investors are making mistakes, but where newcomers are taking over from the old hands. Those who bought six months ago are floating at an 8% gain, and those who entered 90 days ago are up 26% — these profits need to be realized first, which explains this wave of surging and then falling back. What are the newcomers watching? They are watching whether the 81,000 level can hold.
My view is simple: don't chase upwards; wait until it pulls back and stabilizes before acting. Chasing highs at this position means losing not the direction but the rhythm. There are many traps; don't touch them recklessly.
To add something annoying, Justin Sun came out bearish on BTC, arguing that AI development is too fast and will be exploited. I don't follow the coins Justin Sun sells, but I also don't buy into his argument — a person who has sold countless air coins coming to talk to you about technical risks, doesn't that seem off? Remember how he hyped storage last year; just listen and move on. What really matters is: where is the cost zone for the 420,000 BTC newcomers are taking over, and who will panic first if it breaks down. $BTC Bitcoin is struggling around $81,000, but Wall Street is doing something very interesting.
Charles Schwab has started offering direct Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to eligible U.S. retail clients.

On one hand, there is a lack of market confidence; on the other, traditional financial institutions continue to invest resources.
This makes me think of a question:
If cryptocurrencies really have no future, why are these traditional financial institutions still continuously building related businesses?
But on the flip side, don’t rush to interpret these news as a bull market signal.
Banks willing to offer Bitcoin trading services doesn’t mean the banks themselves are bullish on Bitcoin.
The most profitable time for exchanges isn’t necessarily when customers are making the most money.
Wall Street doing business and retail investors making profits have never been the same thing.
I believe the biggest change in this crypto cycle might not be how high Bitcoin can rise next.
Rather, it’s that Bitcoin is gradually transforming from an independent speculative market into an asset that the traditional financial system can directly service.
This could be good for the industry’s long-term development.
But for the price, ultimately, someone still has to be willing to keep buying.
Better infrastructure doesn’t necessarily mean asset valuations will keep rising.
The road builders have already started collecting tolls.
Whether the cars on the road can make money, that’s another matter. #Circle's revenue in the first half of the year is about $1.4 billion
[Old Leek Observation] With half-year revenue of $1.4 billion, what money does Circle really want to make?
Circle's disclosed data for the first half of 2026 is worth breaking down.
The company's revenue and reserve income are about $1.4 billion, and USDC's on-chain transaction volume exceeded $36 trillion in the first half of the year. Looking at just these two numbers, it's easy to think that the stablecoin issuer is making money effortlessly, but the actual business is not that simple.
USDC requires reserve assets behind it, as well as bank channels, trading platforms, and payment partners to help distribute it. Circle must pay costs for these channels and also bear expenses for compliance, liquidity, and product development.
In other words, the larger the USDC scale, it does not mean Circle can directly pocket more income.
However, the $36 trillion on-chain transaction volume still sends an important signal: USDC is becoming an important dollar circulation tool in the crypto market and on-chain finance. The value of stablecoins is not just about how much users hold, but also how many times it is used for trading, settlement, and fund transfers.
Of course, transaction volume does not equal new capital inflow, nor does it mean that so much capital is deposited in USDC.
I believe the real focus of this news is that the stablecoin industry is shifting from "issuing dollar tokens" to competing for payment channels, users, and settlement scenarios. Whoever can make stablecoins more convenient for real payments in the future may hold a more lasting competitive advantage. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Hello brothers and sisters, I am Coin Brother
The total liquidation amount of the three major cryptocurrencies is nearly 150 million USD, accounting for more than 40% of the total network liquidation volume. This is the main battlefield where leveraged funds cluster to compete.
Sharing three noteworthy market signals:
In this round of decline, long positions are the main force of liquidation. The scale of long liquidations in these three cryptocurrencies is significantly higher than that of shorts. The BTC long-to-short ratio is about 7 to 3, and SOL even reaches 3.2:1, indicating that in the past 24 hours, bears dominated the sell-off, and longs with high leverage were concentratedly liquidated.
The difference in holding sentiment between BTC and ETH is very interesting. BTC longs account for nearly 69%, while ETH longs and shorts are roughly split evenly, about 52%. This structure indicates that ETH experiences more intense two-way squeezing during pullbacks, resulting in more extreme volatility.
Liquidation proportion does not equal market cap weighting. BTC and ETH liquidation amounts account for 44%, matching their market size; SOL liquidation accounts for only 3.5%, with smaller leverage volume, but even slight fluctuations can cause huge impacts on positions.
Everyone should understand that liquidation data is a lagging indicator, only reflecting market moves that have already occurred and cannot predict future trends. After large-scale long liquidations are completed, market leverage is cleared, and short-term downward momentum will weaken; once prices rebound, short covering will further boost the rise.

Polygon's advantages lie in its brand, partnership resources, and multi-chain layout, but the market currently places more value on actual on-chain usage, stablecoin liquidity, RWA implementation, and fee revenue. The value capture expectation after POL's migration from MATIC also needs continuous validation; funds will not assign a high premium based solely on narrative. Going forward, only if there are substantial improvements in ecosystem cooperation, on-chain activity, or product progress will it likely regain attention; otherwise, it will mainly follow the broader market's fluctuations. $POL#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点
A brief discussion on Netflix's Q3 earnings report: I still lean towards a slight beat on expectations, with EPS expected around 0.83–0.85 (consensus 0.82) and revenue about $12.9 billion (consensus $12.88 billion).
First, the guidance given in Netflix's July letter to shareholders reflects the company's genuine internal forecast and is not deliberately set low to be exceeded later, so actual results usually hover near the guidance. The last quarter was similar: revenue was $12.56 billion, about $300 million below expectations; EPS was 0.80, a penny above.
Second, the price increase is a confirmed positive.
Q3 is the first full quarter after the North American price hike; in Q2, North American growth was only 10%, so this quarter is expected to rebound. If revenue beats expectations, it will mainly be due to this factor.
Third, EPS is easier to beat than revenue.
Netflix has been repurchasing shares, reducing diluted shares outstanding from 4.349 billion in Q2 last year to 4.261 billion in Q2 this year. Fewer shares naturally push up earnings per share a bit. Additionally, items below operating profit such as foreign exchange gains/losses, interest income, and tax rates fluctuate each quarter. Q1's income tax was notably high. This is why I say the probability of a slight beat on the profit side is higher than on revenue; an EPS beat of a penny or two often comes from these items.
The above is my personal view and does not constitute investment advice.

2⃣, The timing and entry points are well coordinated. In 2026, when the market is focused on prediction markets and the World Cup, NeoSoul directly targets AI prediction, launching in April, a wave of promotion in May, integrating with the World Cup in June, announcing partnerships and financing in August, and even partnering with Alibaba Cloud in October to hold the TGE at peak hype. The pace is very tight; This wave of XLM looks more like a follow-down consolidation under a weak overall market background, with intraday lows being repeatedly tested, indicating a cautious attitude from short-term funds. XLM's payment narrative itself is relatively mature; what can truly bring sustained heat are cross-border payment collaborations, real on-chain usage, and progress in ecosystem applications. Currently, market risk appetite has not clearly warmed up, and funds prefer to chase high-volatility themes, making XLM prone to marginalization; however, if mainstream coins stop falling and there is new news in the payment sector, it may also experience a catch-up rebound. The key is to watch whether trading volume continues to expand, rather than just looking at a single rebound. $XLM Continue predicting OKX Prophet S3: Will Netflix Q3 GAAP EPS be higher than $0.84?
Personally, I lean NO! 📉
🔷 EPS expected only $0.82: Zacks data shows analysts have lowered estimates by 0.7% over the past 30 days, while the threshold for YES is at least $0.85.
🔷 US user engagement under pressure: Apptopia estimates that app downloads in the US and Canada have dropped 20% year-over-year, and daily usage time for US users has decreased from 77 minutes in Q1 to 73.2 minutes.
🔷 Layoffs won’t help Q3 for now: Netflix announced plans to lay off about 1,000 people on October 14, but Q3 ended on September 30.
Of course, Netflix revenue is still growing, and if profit margins or ad revenue exceed expectations, YES is still possible.
But overall, I still lean NO! I went all in on NO with the points I saved for two days! 😂

#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Bitcoin breaks into 12th place globally, is silver the next target?
$BTC is now the 12th largest asset in the world, just ahead of Saudi Aramco, which ranks 13th. In 2020, Saudi Aramco was the company with the highest market capitalization worldwide.
To break into the global top ten, it still needs a significant rally. But the real ceiling is above: 6th place is silver, with a market cap twice that of Bitcoin. 1st place is gold, which is 18 times larger.
So Bitcoin's current situation is: it is already bigger than almost all companies, but still one order of magnitude behind the "precious metals."
What happened this week?
Tech stocks pulled back 6–10%, silver dropped 6.5%, while Bitcoin only fell 1.4%. Among the top 10, six had larger declines than Bitcoin.
The "smaller drop" indicates it is being treated as something different, which is why some traders shorted the entire tech sector but went long on Bitcoin.
The question is: will Bitcoin surpass silver next? In other words, if it doubles again, how long do you think that will take? Many people think that a big drop in the US stock market will definitely drag BTC down, and they are all talking about escaping the crypto native environment to embrace the US stock market. Well, that market trend is about to come.
The total risk capital in the market is limited. When other markets peak and fall, money naturally flows back to BTC, which has better odds.
Many worry that the US stock market has fallen enough to be cost-effective. In the short term, they often fall together, but over a longer period, it's completely the opposite. When the US stock market surged the most in May, the crypto market was drained and fell the hardest; from June to July, as the stock market started to fall, the crypto market bottomed out and stopped falling, and then from August to September, BTC directly started a big rebound.
The same applies to gold. When gold surged the most from December to February, BTC fell the hardest. When gold plunged off a cliff, BTC immediately bottomed out and rebounded.
These past two days, US stocks and AI have started to fall again, but BTC is hovering at a high level and just won’t drop. Now that the US stock market expectations are maxed out and the odds aren’t good enough, the money flowing out naturally looks for more cost-effective places.
After a few days, when AI stabilizes and market sentiment steadies, BTC will start a strong attack again.
#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 Continue predicting OKX Prophet S3: Will Netflix Q3 GAAP EPS be higher than $0.84?
Personally, I lean NO! 📉
🔷 EPS is expected to be only $0.82: Zacks data shows analysts have lowered estimates by 0.7% over the past 30 days, while the question requires at least $0.85 to count as YES.
🔷 US user engagement is under pressure: Apptopia estimates that app downloads in the US and Canada have dropped 20% year-over-year, and daily usage time by US users has decreased from 77 minutes in Q1 to 73.2 minutes.

Of course, Netflix revenue is still growing, and if profit margins or ad revenue beat expectations, YES is still possible.
But overall, I still lean NO! I went all in on NO with the points I saved for two days! 😂 $BTC vs $ETH : Which One Will Recover First?
Both are under pressure, but I see two different setups developing.
Bitcoin looks vulnerable. Long positions dominate, yet buyers aren't showing enough strength to defend the price. I wouldn't rule out another move toward $80,000.
Ethereum looks more interesting. Shorts are heavily positioned, while fresh buying is starting to appear.
My view: ETH could outperform BTC in a short-term rebound, especially if shorts begin closing. Ethereum has also lost the key integer level of 2400, dropping all the way down from 2500, with the market feeling quite suppressed.
This drop is not due to a single reason: the US September CPI year-on-year at 3.7% exceeded expectations, pushing back rate cut expectations and pressuring risk assets; once the price broke the level, leveraged long positions were forcibly liquidated, amplifying the decline; additionally, the US spot ETH ETF has seen continuous net outflows, with institutional funds not returning.
In the short term, there are two points to watch: whether it can reclaim 2400, and if selling pressure continues, whether there is capital willing to buy in. Breaking the level does not necessarily mean the decline will continue; in the long term, it still depends on whether the ecosystem has real demand. $ETH$SOL
SOL falls along with the overall market; how to verify the strength of the ecosystem?
Spot price dropped about 1.09% in 24 hours, ranging between 102.5 and 107.45, with the price positioned at about 40% of the range.
Price decline alone does not directly prove on-chain usage deterioration; likewise, ecosystem enthusiasm does not guarantee sustained token price increase. Currently, it is necessary to observe price support and real paid demand separately, rather than mixing them into one indicator.
A recovery above the upper boundary and formation of a higher low on the pullback supports a rebound; if the lower boundary is broken and the rebound continues to lag behind ETH, the judgment of elastic advantage should be reduced. Performance during a broad rally phase cannot replace stress testing.In Tesla's profits, the once useful regulatory credit income has significantly shrunk. When discussing profit recovery, don't skip this part.
In the Q2 10-Q, automotive regulatory credit income was $146 million, down 67% year-over-year. The company also warned that regulatory changes could affect related programs and future revenue recognition. Although Q3 deliveries performed well, that doesn't tell us what will happen to this income going forward.
I actually think this provides a more solid way to test the next earnings report: see if the automotive business can improve its profitability on its own without relying on credit income. Comparing gross margins after excluding credit income makes it easier to see changes in car sales themselves.
If costs decline and product mix improves, driving profits even when credit income is weak, that's a recovery I want to seriously consider. If profit improvement mainly comes from the timing of credit recognition, then sustainability needs to be questioned more. Normal income should of course be included in the reports, but to judge how much can be earned in the future, we need to know where the improvement comes from.
Deliveries exceeded expectations, the Roadster was released again, and optimism is already well supported. In the October 21 earnings report, I want a clear profit breakdown. After external policy income decreases, can car sales still generate stable profits? This question is harder to answer and more worthwhile than just another impressive sales number.
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 $ZEC Why doesn't it consolidate at 1200, but insists on consolidating at 1150?
The depth behind this is far greater than you imagine.
Take a close look at the long-short ratio data of the contracts; currently, only 51.24% are long positions, and 48.76% are short positions, with a long-short ratio exactly at 1.05.
This data is extremely critical.
What does this indicate?
It shows that the long and short forces are in an extremely delicate balance right now.
At this equilibrium point, there will absolutely be no sharp rise or fall in the short term. The only goal of the manipulator is to "grind down" and wear out most people's patience.
The manipulator must oscillate back and forth at this indecisive level.
What they want to do is slowly brainwash the 51% longs, making everyone believe "1150 is the iron bottom, it can't go lower," luring those shorts to flip and go long.
When the number of longs soars to 60% or 70%, that is when everyone thinks the bull market has returned, the real slaughter will begin.
Do you think this is the bottom?
Actually, this is not the bottom at all; it's just the manipulator's trick!
Looking at the daily chart, the price dropped from 1248 to 1130, now stuck near 1160, and the moving averages are starting to converge.
This kind of low-volume sideways consolidation is brewing the next big move.
Starting from 30U initially, challenging 300U, today it has already reached 90U, tripling in value. What is this based on? Simply not guessing the bottom blindly, but following the trend.
$BTC $ETH #特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 $AGT finally took off! After grinding for a full two months, the manipulative whales really know how to shake people out!
Bought in at 0.0139, always believed AGT would rally sooner or later, but still couldn't hold on. Today it surged close to 0.1 at its peak, looking back it’s a bit painful.
Reviewing the situation, the biggest problem for many wasn’t getting the direction wrong, but not being able to endure the volatility.
Especially with contracts, long sideways movement, repeated spikes, a little rise then a drop, price goes up a bit then falls back, just when you think it’s about to start, it crashes again.
Holding on too long makes you doubt your own judgment, can’t bear it and close the position, only to see the market take off shortly after.
This is the biggest difference between contracts and spot trading. Contracts have leverage, margin pressure, funding fees, and liquidation risks.
Even if your directional call is ultimately correct, a single sharp fluctuation can force you out early.
But every trade is a learning experience. Being bullish on a coin is one thing, but being able to hold until the end is another.
Next time you encounter such an opportunity, think clearly before entering: what if it oscillates for two months? How much drawdown can you tolerate? Under what circumstances would you admit you were wrong?
Directional judgment determines if you have a chance; position management and trading discipline determine whether you can ultimately take the profits.
Missing out on AGT’s main rally wave is indeed a pity, but hopefully next time won’t repeat the same mistake!
#ETF与巨鲸资金分化，BTC能否守住8万美元？ [Sun Yuchen sold 90% of ETH, then heavily invested in Nvidia: Has he started to dislike the crypto space?]
Sun Ge's latest position choices are worth analyzing. He continues to hold $BTC, while last year he reduced 80-90% of his $ETH offensive position between $3600 and $4000. Most of the funds shifted to US stocks, with Nvidia becoming the main holding.
This is not simply bearish on cryptocurrencies. He treats BTC as a base position and ETH as an offensive asset, differentiating between them. However, Nvidia, where he is heavily invested, also dropped 1.43% on October 16; the Nasdaq 100 fell about 5.5% this week, and AI stocks are being hit by high financing costs and massive investments. Market source.
He hasn't bought back ETH after selling it, indicating that at least in his judgment, the risk-reward ratio of ETH at that time was inferior to US AI stocks. But this is just an interview summary, not a full portfolio audit, and certainly doesn't prove that institutional funds are making the same choices.
Don't take Sun Ge's moves as a signal to copy. For ETH to regain his favor, it needs to present a more attractive return outlook; if Nvidia and the Nasdaq continue to fall, his portfolio shift will also suffer losses. Big players can lose too, they just changed the battlefield.Coin Fee Rate Characteristics Long-Short Sentiment Mapping Correlation with Previous Two Rounds
BTC All positive (0.0059%~0.0079%), no forecast Weak long-side premium, sentiment stable Long positions just liquidated (69%), currently bearish (51.9%), positive fee rate indicates longs are alive but restrained
ETH Includes negative values (-0.0001%), right side up to 0.0091% Local intense long-short battle, short costs slightly increased Two-way squeeze + long-short ratio slightly bullish (51.5%), slightly negative fee rate suggests short-term long-short tug-of-war
SOL Near zero, includes slight negative (-0.0005%) Extremely balanced, very low leverage Long-short ratio 50%:50%, fully cleaned after liquidation, near-zero fee rate = no directional bets
