一位被社群戏称为“巨鲸”的地址，从9月底开始疯狂扫货山寨币，操作猛如虎，账面却惨不忍睹。最扎眼的是$UNI：均价8.79美元建仓，浮亏一度高达155万美元，山顶的风这么大，这位老哥还站得住吗？$LTC同样被套10万美元，而此前持有的$BNB似乎没扛住，6天前悄悄清仓离场，又添7万多美元亏损。😬 按常理，亏到这个份上总该收手了吧？并没有。12小时前，该地址从币安提出245万枚$ONDO，均价约0.46美元，看架势是打算质押死扛。手握近1000万美元山寨币仓位，浮亏合计165万美元——高位站岗、割肉换车、越跌越买，这套组合拳和散户如出一辙，甚至更上头。 真正值得琢磨的不是他亏了多少，而是这种“巨鲸散户化”的行为模式正在本轮山寨行情中反复上演。当大资金也开始用情绪而非纪律做决策，山寨板块的筹码结构就变得异常脆弱：一边是高位套牢盘死守不退，一边是抄底资金不断进场接刀，$UNI、$LTC、$ONDO这些标的的反弹阻力被层层叠高。这不是某个地址的笑话，而是一面镜子——照出当前山寨市场缺乏增量叙事、只剩存量博弈的尴尬现实。 关键信号在于：若这类千万级仓位持续通过质押锁仓而非止损离场，短期抛压或许被【The bulls are overcrowded, who will be the next batch of fuel?】
Taking a look at the long and short data of $BTC, $ETH, and $SOL, the position structures of these three coins are quite interesting.
BTC long accounts make up about 64%, shorts 36%, with a long-short ratio close to 1.8:1. ETH is even more extreme, with longs around 76%, meaning about 3 out of every 4 accounts are long. SOL longs are about 72%, also dominated by longs.
Don’t rush to call a bull comeback.
BTC’s contract open interest has dropped about 7% in the last 30 days, indicating some leverage has already withdrawn. ETH longs are even more crowded; if the price continues to weaken, liquidation pressure is worth watching out for. SOL is a bit unusual: long accounts dominate, but the funding rate is negative, indicating that the number of accounts and contract funding preferences are not aligned.
What concerns me more is not whose headcount is bigger, but whose positions are more fragile.
If BTC falls and open interest increases, it means new positions are still entering; if price falls and open interest decreases simultaneously, it’s more likely positions are being liquidated. Conversely, price rising with spot volume increasing looks more like genuine buying rather than just short covering.
Crowded longs are not a reason to short, crowded shorts are not a reason to bottom-fish. First watch how the price moves, then watch how leverage changes. The market especially punishes stubbornness, especially when leverage is involved.$PONS has finally dropped, probably still going down. Still bearish, be cautious when bottom-fishing.
Long-short ratio: Everyone is holding on desperately, even the heavy players are shaking their heads.
OKX retail long-short ratio is as high as 2.09, Binance retail is 1.4938. Retail investors are still crazily catching falling knives.
For whales: whale count long-short ratio is 1.93, whale position long-short ratio is as high as 2.4171!
🪂 Launchpad narrative fading:
PONS, as the Launchpad leader of Robinhood Chain, initially attracted a large fanbase with its wealth-creating myth. But now the market focus has shifted, and without new blockbuster assets released, the protocol's profit-making effect has sharply declined, and the bubble naturally bursts.

$BTC $ETH #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ Maji bro has successors: long positions, high leverage, lost 9.05 million USD in a week, still stubbornly adding positions 😬
This friend, you can see his shadow everywhere
Address 0x30a…6393e had a Hyperliquid account that once profited as high as 19.7 million USD at the end of September this year, then went downhill all the way — the latest BTC 40x long position was opened at dawn on 10.16, with positions added up to 187 million USD, while an ETH long position worth 11.74 million USD was fully liquidated five hours ago, losing 1.08 million USD. So far, $ETH & $BTC combined have cut losses totaling 4.5 million USD
The remaining BTC long position of 110 million USD (1355.6 coins) is currently at an unrealized loss of 287,000 USD, planning to stop loss entirely if it falls below $80500

Custody work has never been about stir-frying over the stove; it’s about cold chain, constant temperature, and knife skills. Retail investors watch how high the flames jump, institutions watch whether you have a minus-30-degree warehouse and a flawless inventory receipt. This business is a full-course banquet: corporate clients, institutional clients, USDC, EURC, and EURAU as the three stablecoin dipping sauces, with plans to open branches in Asia by 2027, offering stablecoin exchange, tokenized deposits, and digital bonds. From procurement to storage to plating, the entire chain is handled in-house.
Standard Chartered serves professional diners in the UAE with BTC/ETH spot and RLUSD custody, while BNY has expanded its European cold storage. Three players compete for the stove, not for the wok’s heat, but for "whose cold storage key inspires more trust to hand over the whole piece of meat."
No matter how beautifully the menu is written, the timing of the dish is crucial. Launching in weeks? Without a cold chain, no matter how expensive the meat, it will rot in storage. Whether demand can turn into custody assets and continuous inflows depends not on applause at launch events but on every batch of inventory matching perfectly and every reconciliation statement being clean. This is the sous-chef’s job—most tedious but the truest test.
I talk about the recipe every day: mainstream coins are the main course, custody is the serving plate—if the plate is steady, the main course can be piled high; altcoins are the seasoning, sprinkled more or less depending on the main course’s mood; leveraged contracts are the extra spicy chili, which institutions won’t touch, but retail investors always add aggressively, burning their guts and then crying for help.
$xIREN is the side dish plate’s linkage: when the main course’s heat changes, the marbling in the side dish shifts accordingly. US stock token targets are like the light at the pass-through window—whether it’s on depends on whether there’s real fire on the stove, not how pretty the menu looks.
Anyone can heat up the pot, but whether the fire stays on in front of the guests is the dividing line between head chef and sous-chef. Without building the cold chain, without clear batch verification, and with withdrawal channels clogging at peak times, even the grandest banquet is just an empty plate set at the door facing the wind. #deutschebankcustody【$SOL has put its signboard in Shanghai, Solana reconnects with Chinese developers and the tech ecosystem】
A company named "Solana" has been registered in Shanghai, and the Solana team has indeed set up an office there, but these two things should not be confused: the company’s registered capital is 5 million yuan, and the joint venture’s registered capital is 10 million yuan, neither of which is funding to buy SOL. Current public information also does not prove that these companies belong to the Solana Foundation.
What’s truly worth trading on here is the expectation that Solana is reconnecting with Chinese developers and the tech ecosystem. There is room for imagination in AI, robotics, payments, and developer activities, but mainland China still has strict restrictions on cryptocurrency trading and related businesses. The Shanghai event was even postponed due to over-registration. The excitement is real, but how much of it will translate into on-chain demand remains uncertain.
Whether it succeeds or not, I think this is a positive sentiment boost for SOL, but it’s not yet a fundamental reversal. Going forward, it depends on whether developers, applications, on-chain transactions, and stablecoin funds continue to grow. If these data truly follow through, the Shanghai office will be more than just a nice photo; if not, the market will leave after hyping the "China story".Under the surgical operating light, the most dangerous thing is never the monitor's alarm, but the insufficient perfusion that has already occurred while the surgical field is still debating blood pressure numbers. This sanction waiver news is like a suddenly released aortic clamp: the White House exempts some Russian sanctions and high tariffs, ostensibly to relieve the supply side and ease oil prices, but the real problem is not in the policy rhetoric, but in the microcirculation of the diesel supply chain. The sanction relaxation only temporarily opens the vascular anastomosis; if any part of the oil tanker, insurance, shipping costs, or delivery schedule forms a thrombus, the flow will drop again. The US-Russia diesel trade is still waiting for goods, indicating the anastomosis is not truly unobstructed; lifting restrictions on paper does not mean pulsatile blood flow has resumed in the surgical field.
Trump said oil prices might drop soon, which only looks at preload, not afterload. Ukraine's opposition to cooperation and resumption of attacks on Russian refineries is like repeatedly causing intimal tears on a freshly sutured vessel: refinery shutdowns, disrupted export rhythms, and diesel shortages possibly lasting until 2027 are chronic ischemia, not something a single antihypertensive shot can fix. The International Energy Agency's warning is more like intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography, showing not just a single price fluctuation but perfusion defects in the entire refining and transportation system. Production loss is still unclear, indicating bleeding volume is still being assessed; any premature declaration that "blood pressure is stable" is reckless.
The linkage of the US stock tokenized asset $xTSM should be viewed according to systemic perfusion response, not emotional tachycardia. If the oil price drop comes from real supply recovery, it is vascular recanalization; if it is only a temporary vasodilation caused by sanction waivers while refinery risks and shipping costs remain high, it is a pseudo-improvement, and peripheral perfusion is still poor. The market crash is just a symptom; the root cause lies in the composite embolism formed by diesel shortages, refining bottlenecks, and geopolitical attacks. My surgical judgment is cold: first look at flow, then pressure; first confirm whether the anastomosis is unobstructed, then talk about whether the price will fall. The monitor can be quiet, but the myocardium does not lie. The diagnosis is written in the perfusion curve: this relaxation is not a radical resection, just a conditional decompression. #usrussiasanctionswaiver$ENA The whale has high control over the market; the overall trend is downward.

$BTC $ETH #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ MSCI Boot Drops: Strategy May Be Kicked Out of the Index, $2.8 Billion Passive Selling Pressure on the Way.
On October 16, MSCI finalized new rules: companies with asset structures like "investment vehicles" and no substantial operating activities will no longer qualify for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Index.
22 companies are on the potential list, 14 of which are crypto treasury companies, accounting for 94.5% of the free float market cap; Strategy, Metaplanet, and Upexi are listed for potential removal, with the list released on November 11 and effective after market close on November 30.
MSTR closed at $136.83 on Friday, down 9.5% in a single day, with 31.83 million shares traded showing significant volume, down 75% from the $543 high in November 2024.
I think this cut is not aimed at Bitcoin, but at the "financing to buy coins" business model; passive funds must sell shares, but Strategy’s 848,000 BTC will not be sold because of this.
I won’t act before the November 11 list is finalized; I will wait until the passive selling pressure is fully released to reassess; if Strategy is not on the final list, or if FTSE and S&P clearly do not follow suit, this logic becomes invalid.
Which side are you on? A: Removal = end of financing-to-buy-coins model, stay away; B: Passive selling finished = opportunity to pick up bargains.

#USStocks #Cryptocurrency #MSCIRegulationImpactOnTreasuryStocks, Strategy Publicly Opposes 真正容易看错的，不是"行情难做了"，而是把阶段性的顺风误认成自己的常态能力。 你有没有发现，最近连老手都开始悄悄提现生活费和留现金了？ 我最近翻到一条很真实的分享：一位32岁的交易者从账户里提出25万用于日常开支，说以前收入好的时候根本不觉得钱要"被尊重"，赚了就一直留在交易所、只充不提，甚至顺风期加杠杆想一把冲大，结果亏光；后来流量和交易都变难，收入不到顺风期的一成，压力立刻压上来。这里最扎心的不是亏钱本身，而是节奏变了却没跟着变。很多人以为市场在惩罚方向，其实它在惩罚"把波动当能力"的仓位习惯。 把这件事放回盘面看，它对应的不是某个币的利好利空，而是风险偏好在收缩：当参与者开始提现、留现金、降低出手频率，最先反映的往往不是BTC的方向，而是成交节奏变慢、追高意愿变弱、山寨的承接更挑人。偏多的一侧是，这种收缩常常出现在阶段出清后，浮筹被清掉、杠杆降温，后面只要BTC稳住关键区间，ETH和高质量叙事反而更容易走出干净的反弹。风险的一侧是，如果提现和观望继续扩散，反弹会缺少持续性，山寨更容易脉冲后回落，交易上"看对方向却拿不到利润"会变成常态。 关键信号我拆成两组看： - 动量信号：BT2nm accounts for only 8% of wafer revenue — this 8% is the core structure of the entire building, not just the exterior paint.
When I look at financial reports, I never start with revenue; I first examine the structural system. NT$1.49 trillion, a 50% year-over-year increase, represents the building area; NT$763.1 billion net profit, nearly 70% growth, represents the usable floor area. The area can be increased by adding floors, but usable floor area cannot be faked — it is optimized inch by inch by reducing redundant steel. Advanced process nodes account for 79% in total, indicating the main structure has topped out and is still adding transition layers; the remaining 21% mature process nodes are the podium and basement, where the cash flow utilities and piping are located, and no one dares to dismantle them.
What is this 8% of 2nm? The pile foundation. Only after the piles are driven and static load tests passed can the tower be built upwards. This 8% of piles bears 100% of the future load. Anyone who judges technical status solely by production value proportion is like someone who signs off just by looking at the building’s exterior rendering.
Yield rate is the acceptance pass rate; mass production ramp-up is like moving from a model room to large-scale construction; capital expenditure is the volume of concrete poured — once pouring starts, it cannot stop, or else cold joints form, which if not repaired, must be demolished and redone. Lithography equipment installation is like tower cranes attached to walls; if the attachment points are miscalculated, the floor slab will start to shake at the 30th floor. Advanced packaging is the connection between the curtain wall and the main structure — the least conspicuous part but the first to tear under wind load.
Demand for computing chips is not a trend but a load. The load determines the column grid, and once set, it cannot be changed for ten years. This is the true weight of this performance: it is not selling products but laying the foundation slab for the entire industry chain.
Now about $xTSLA. Dividing a building’s ownership into shares and listing them on the secondary market is the curtain wall system — attractive, lightweight, and easily traded; no matter how good the thermal performance, it does not bear a single rebar. The real load-bearing structure is hidden in the capital expenditure and process node construction drawings, buried in the wafer fab’s geological survey and settlement monitoring records. Token prices can be cantilevered by sentiment; the bigger the cantilever, the greater the deflection, and the first to creak in the wind is that ring of glass.
My judgment: the nature of this quarterly report is not "performance exceeding expectations" but the acceptance of the main structure. Anyone can draw blueprints, but the contractors who can truly pour 2nm tolerance into silicon wafers are countable worldwide. So the problem is never this quarter — it’s whether the pile foundation drawings for the next quarter are completed or not. #tsmcq3recordprofitLast week writing about CoreWeave, the last sentence was: Using fear to stress test the business model gets closer to the truth than using enthusiasm to inflate valuations.
This week, the test has spread.
CoreWeave dropped nearly 12% in a single day again, about 25% cumulatively this week, while bond yields continue to surge.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged, and chip stocks collectively fell sharply. Most big tech closed down: Meta -3.7%, Google -2.5%, Tesla -2.1%, Nvidia -1.4%. Only Apple rose slightly +0.43%.
Last week it was the debt pressure of a single company; this week the entire AI infrastructure chain is being re-examined.
As mentioned last time, neo-cloud sells "certainty," and the higher the leverage, the more fragile it is. This week, combined with rising interest rate expectations and increased financing costs, the fragility has transmitted from one company's financials to the stock prices of the entire chip chain.
Jensen Huang said the volatility "will all pass." Nvidia sells the shovels and has backstop agreements, so he can say that. But Gartner's number still hangs there: 80% of neo-clouds may shut down before 2030. For downstream players bearing financing costs above 15%, this is for now just a wish.
Apple's counter-trend rise is actually the clearest signal. The whole market sell-off is on AI infrastructure leverage, with funds fleeing to the farthest safe haven.
Last time the test was on CoreWeave alone. This week it's testing the entire chain. Those who can withstand the interest rate pressure stay at the table; those who can't will be cleared out.
$NVDA The air pressure over the Strait of Hormuz is rapidly collapsing—a tanker near Jubail was hit by an unidentified projectile. This is not an isolated convective cell but a breaking jet stream. Brent crude oil hit $110 per barrel on October 16, closing up 3.7% at $109.86, the highest temperature record since May; the warm high-pressure ridge can no longer hold.
Having worked in weather forecasting for a long time, what I fear most is not the rain that has already fallen, but systematic deviations in data between meteorological stations. Kpler reports that weekly flow through Hormuz has dropped about 43% compared to pre-conflict levels. This is not normal seasonal fluctuation; the conveyor belt has been cut off. The strait acts like a low-altitude jet stream, usually responsible for global crude oil momentum transport. Once repeatedly disturbed by “sudden strong convection” like projectiles, all downstream models must be rebuilt.
The U.S. plans to release up to 17 million barrels from strategic reserves, which I interpret as an artificial rain enhancement operation. Can it alleviate local drought? Yes, but cloud thickness is limited, and the catalyst’s seeding window is short. Alternative export routes are more like detours—airflows can bypass mountains but create lee troughs and stronger local vortices. Freight, insurance, and time costs will all explode where isobars are dense.
Looking at the linkage with the U.S. stock token $xIWM, this is a typical coupling of upstream and downstream weather systems. Crude oil is the thermal forcing source; risk assets are the response field. When Brent hits $110, the market sentiment pressure gradient steepens sharply. Tokenized U.S. stock exposure first feels gust fronts—it’s not pushed by fundamentals but pulled back and forth by risk-off air masses and liquidity cold fronts. The fear and greed index is most prone to misreadings in this environment because geopolitical projectile events are small-scale strong convection, beyond the resolution of numerical models.
Three observation stations really need monitoring: first, whether the attack forms continuous echoes, i.e., whether shipping insurance and detour ratios continue to rise; second, the “precipitation efficiency” of reserve releases—whether 17 million barrels can effectively fill the 43% flow gap; third, whether $xIWM’s trading volume shows spiral structures like typhoon rainbands—high volume without progress often means the low-pressure center is still reorganizing.
I judge the current oil price surge as a phase control at the edge of the subtropical high, not a warming of the entire atmosphere. The storm is unnamed, but eyewall replacement has begun. #brenttouches$110Battle at the 80,000 level: Is BTC's rapid rebound this time a bull trap or a trend reversal?
BTC quickly counterattacked from the 79,800 level, reclaiming lost ground within two hours to rise back to 82,500, holding the 80,000 round number support. However, this single bullish rebound candle is not enough to confirm a trend reversal; the real test is just beginning.
For bulls to open up upward space, they must hold support around 80,000 and break through the dense chip area between 84,000 and 86,500 with volume. This range accumulates a large amount of ETF trapped chips and represents the biggest resistance in this rebound.
The bears have not fully exited; liquidity below 80,000 has already shrunk. Glassnode data shows a new concentration of buy orders near 78,000. If the 80,000 support fails, a liquidity vacuum is likely to appear below. Coupled with continuous ETF outflows and macro pressure from inflation, the rebound rally could face selling pressure at any time.
A single downward close with a bullish candle cannot confirm a trend reversal. A reliable upward move requires sustained buying and ETF capital inflows to jointly verify it. Currently, the market can only be seen as a short-term bottoming, still far from a true reversal.
Do you think the current market is merely stabilizing and recovering, or is it the start of a new upward rally??

Within 10 minutes, AI concept stocks like Western Digital $WDC, Micron $MU, and SK Hynix $SKHY saw their perpetual contracts flash crash by 6% to 7%, then quickly rebounded. Don't rush to call it a crash; this is trading in perpetual contract prices, which doesn't mean the US stock spot market is simultaneously plummeting, nor should it be directly interpreted as institutions collectively fleeing.
But this flash crash is not without background. The Nasdaq dropped about 4.5% over the week, CoreWeave fell 12% in a single day, and about 25% over five trading days; rising oil prices, inflation rebound, and rate hike concerns are squeezing the imagination for high-valuation AI assets. The market is starting to doubt how much profit the heavy AI infrastructure investments can actually generate.
This sharp drop should be seen as a liquidity warning in a high-volatility environment and does not yet prove a full withdrawal of spot funds. If spot prices also fall with volume, and perpetual contract open interest and liquidation data show leverage being cleared, then deleveraging is spreading; if it's just a brief flash crash followed by recovery, don't jump to conclude this contract anomaly as an AI bubble burst.#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 **Cautious Version:**
Tesla delivered 486,500 vehicles in Q3, higher than expected, but still down 2.1% year-over-year.
I think this "beat expectations" is somewhat hollow. The market talks about volume, but what really matters is the structure: high-margin US cars are declining, while the share of low-margin Chinese cars is rising. More cars are sold, but the profit per car may not be higher.
The market's "earnings beat" probability has reached 76¢, indicating expectations are very high. The higher the expectations, the easier it is to miss.
After the market closes on the 21st, I will only focus on gross margin. Deliveries may look good, profits may not, and the stock price could still fall.
**Bullish Version:**
Beating delivery expectations is a good start for Tesla.
Although 486,500 vehicles represent a 2.1% year-over-year decline, it is higher than market expectations, indicating demand is not as bad as feared. Next, it depends on whether the gross margin can keep up.
The decline in the share of US cars is indeed a risk structurally, but stabilizing delivery volume first lays the foundation for profit recovery. For the earnings report on the 21st, I will focus on automotive business gross margin and cash flow.$BTC can't hold above 82729, it's all fake pumps. The rebounds lack volume, and each time it fails to surpass the previous highs, unable to break through the prior resistance, making it hard to push upward.

$ETH $SOL #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ #Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期 **Cautious Version:**
This quarter, Meta isn’t delivering a financial report, but an AI assignment.
Q2 revenue was 60.8 billion, with capital expenditure burning 31.1 billion, meaning half the revenue was poured into computing power. But whether AI products can actually make money, no one can say clearly yet.
Advertising is indeed growing now, with a strong 28% increase. But the problem is, this money was bet before the model was validated, more like a forced bet out of fear of falling behind, not a confident strategic move.
The verdict comes after the market closes on the 21st. I’m only watching one thing: can advertising growth cover capital expenditure? If it can’t, the market’s patience won’t last long.
**Optimistic Version:**
Meta is burning money at a scary rate, but I’m not that worried.
Q2 revenue rose 28% to 60.8 billion, Q3 guidance is 61 to 64 billion, the advertising money-printing machine is still running. Capital expenditure of 31.1 billion is significant, but cash flow is currently holding up.
Whether AI investment pays off can’t be seen in one quarter. What I care more about is whether AI is driving better ad conversion, that’s the most practical validation. For the earnings report on the 21st, just watch this. Breaking: $BTC just dropped to 81,000, $ETH directly broke through 2,400. In the past 60 minutes, $115 million long positions have been liquidated. Over the weekend, leverage blood still flows.
That big bearish candle in the early morning looked like a death blow. It fell below 81k, but in less than half an hour it was pulled back to 81.4k, with a bunch of buy orders nibbling at the bottom of the order book. This is not how a trend reversal should behave; this is a liquidation-style fake fall. Some are using the panic to rotate positions and run, while others are ready to catch below.
But don’t relax just yet. After liquidation, open interest barely dropped. $BTC futures open interest is still around 52.6 billion, only shrinking by 0.14%. What does this mean? The leverage hasn’t died out; it’s just a new batch of people holding the positions. The market’s fragility hasn’t been resolved at all.
The macro side isn’t giving any good signals either. September CPI at 3.7% is hotter than expected; retail data isn’t bad either, and the Fed can’t find a way to ease. On Polymarket, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in October has reached 25%, and expectations for another hike by year-end are heating up. This week, digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of $434 million, with money voting with its feet. Plus, the Middle East situation hasn’t calmed down, and when oil prices twitch, risk assets kneel first.
There’s one more level you need to watch: around 81,500 is the average cost line for spot ETF institutions. The current price is stuck just below this line, grinding.#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins Mastercard teams up with crypto payment unicorn BVNK to launch a global currency platform supporting interoperability between stablecoins and fiat currencies, sending a core signal: stablecoins have completely shed the label of "casino chips in the crypto world" and officially upgraded to the underlying clearing rails of global traditional finance.
Specifically, there are four deep underlying logics behind this move:
In the past, giants entering crypto mainly issued "U-cards," essentially still converting crypto to fiat and taking toll fees through traditional banks. This time, partnering with BVNK, which focuses on B2B settlement, stablecoins are placed alongside the US dollar and euro within the same enterprise-level account system, effectively building a "chain-based high-speed rail" within the traditional clearing network, bypassing the cumbersome correspondent banking system to achieve 24/7 second-level cross-border transfers.
The global annual stablecoin settlement volume has surpassed the combined total of Visa and Mastercard. Coupled with Stripe's aggressive $1.1 billion acquisition of Bridge, Mastercard clearly understands that "blocking is worse than easing." Since on-chain transfers themselves do not generate profit, it is transforming to earn money from "compliance risk control, anti-money laundering screening, and fiat on/off-ramp exchange spreads," shifting from a card payment channel to a global liquidity router.
This platform directly targets the trillion-dollar commercial pain points—cross-border supply chain payment settlements and global freelancer payroll. Enterprises can pay in local currency on one end, clear through stablecoins in the middle, and receive US dollars on the other end, thoroughly solving the persistent issues of US dollar shortages and T+3 settlement delays in emerging markets.
This trend directly benefits high-performance public chains like ETH and Solana that support stablecoin settlements.#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins $BTC is bearish, current price 81,702.7, the intraday low of 80,751 will be tested again, and this time it won't hold. Long positions worth 10.08 million USD were liquidated within 24 hours, nearly twice the short positions, yet the price only closed up 0.29%. That dip squeezed out a batch of long leverage, but the rebound lacked new funds to chase the price, keeping volatility within 1.4%. The 10.08 million is just a drop in the 7.66 billion USD open interest; the remaining long positions are far from cleared, so there is still fuel to push lower. On the options side, implied volatility is 38, put/call ratio 0.86, no one is willing to pay for big moves, making the price easier to grind down bit by bit. Funding rate remains slightly positive, just background info. The chart shows a bearish moving average alignment, price hugging previous lows, consistent with this bearish view. Bullish reversal condition: retake and hold above 81,877.3, indicating new funds entering to absorb selling pressure, invalidating the bearish view. The market originally regarded October as a window for Bitcoin to rebound and altcoins to recover, but the trend did not follow the seasonal narrative.
Bitcoin's breakout did not continue, and selling pressure quickly returned; many altcoins are still struggling to recover. The result is not a steady rise, but increased uncertainty and sudden volatility.
The calendar is not a basis for the market. The consensus of a "rising October" was not confirmed by price, and expectations cannot replace the trend.Breaking: $BTC just dropped to 81,000, and $ETH directly broke through 2,400. In the past 60 minutes, $115 million long positions have been liquidated. Over the weekend, leverage blood still flows.
That big bearish candle in the early morning looked like a death blow. It broke below 81k, but in less than half an hour, it was pulled back to 81.4k, with a bunch of buy orders nibbling at the bottom of the order book. This is not how a trend reversal should behave; this is a liquidation-style fake fall. Some are using panic to rotate positions and exit, while others are ready to catch below.
But don’t relax just yet. After liquidation, the open interest barely dropped. $BTC futures open interest remains around 52.6 billion, shrinking only 0.14%. What does this mean? The leverage hasn’t died out; it’s just a new batch of people holding the positions. The market’s fragility hasn’t been resolved at all.
The macro side isn’t giving any relief either. September CPI at 3.7% is hotter than expected; retail data isn’t bad either. The Fed can’t find a way to ease. On Polymarket, the probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in October has reached 25%, and expectations for another hike by year-end are heating up. This week, digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of $434 million, with money voting with its feet. Plus, the Middle East situation remains unsettled; a shake in oil prices makes risk assets kneel first.
There’s another level you need to watch: around 81,500 is the average cost line for spot ETF institutions. The current price is stuck just below this line, grinding. If it goes lower, all ETF holders will be underwater collectively, and redemption pressure will be more painful than liquidations.
$ETH is weaker. The 2,390–2,400 range is its last cover. A decisive break below with volume leads to 2,350, even 2,300. That early morning liquidation of 4,890 $ETH longs at 2,356 wasn’t a coincidence; it was a nail pulled from the liquidation map.
As for #TeslaRoadsterUnveiled — US stocks closed over the weekend, and funds turned to push TSLA perpetuals on Hyperliquid, causing an hourly volume surge of 1,580%. The money hasn’t disappeared; it’s just searching for exits in the thin weekend liquidity. Leverage in crypto has become the table being drained.
80,000 is the last face for the bulls. Breaking it with volume breaks the structure; 7.7–7.8 is next. Holding it only buys a breather, not a turnaround.
This weekend, don’t fight leverage. Staying alive is more important than anything. $BTC $ETH
#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？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 $SOL has indeed been very popular recently. Once the advertisement appeared in Shanghai, many immediately associated it with the domestic trading opening up, but this probably has little to do with the official stance, and it's hard to say what's true or false. The market, however, is very honest: it first fell as a sign of respect, now around 104, and it is estimated that there is still room for further decline in the next couple of days. The showmanship has some impact on the drop, but it is not the main reason; the real pressure still comes from the interest rate hike expectations. Hopefully, it will be settled soon.
#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ The spike at 2355 was actually a whale liquidation! $187 million long position couldn't withstand $11.74 million liquidation, can the 2400 level hold?
According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a certain whale who previously opened a $187 million long position with maximum leverage had 4,890 ETH longs liquidated at $2356 during the dip at 5 a.m., with a position value of $11.74 million. The $2356 level was exactly today's lowest spike — this spike was caused by this whale's liquidation order.
TokenPost data shows that the top 20 liquidations in the past 24 hours totaled $40.11 million, with ETH liquidations at $10.3 million. Shorts accounted for 52%, more than longs. This means those chasing shorts are also being liquidated. If ETH retakes key levels, short liquidations above $2537 could reach $862 million, with short positions still accumulating. Once a rebound starts, the stampede could be on the other side.
Ethereum spot ETFs saw a total net inflow of $22.5 million yesterday, with BlackRock's ETHA leading at $17.61 million net inflow, and Grayscale Mini Trust inflow at $3.11 million. Although global digital asset products still saw a net outflow of $434 million this week according to CoinShares, the single-day inflow into ETH ETFs indicates institutions are tentatively buying below 2400.
Resistance above: 2420 → 2493 → 2537; Support below: 2355 (today's spike low) → 2320 $BTC has been stuck at the 50-day moving average for a week now, and it is estimated that a new direction will emerge next week.
1. On the macro side, October spot ETF net outflows exceeded $1 billion, with BTC outflows this week amounting to $230 million, about 2,809 BTC, equivalent to 0.94% of the global 24h trading volume of $24.2 billion.
Compared to last month's inflow of $2.39 billion in one week, it has shrunk by nearly 60%.
2. On the funding side, BTC leverage has dropped significantly, with open interest contracts at only 620,000 BTC, and the rest are basically dead longs.
3. In horizontal comparison, BTC is the most resistant to decline, only dropping 0.37% this week, while ETH fell 3.9% and SOL fell 6.1% during the same period.
Vertically, there is still a 35.5% gap from the ATH of 127,000, currently at the 78.4th percentile of the 90-day range.
This time is somewhat like the old script from 2019 when BTC consolidated sideways for three months during the "rate hike cycle," eventually breaking down first and then rebounding, taking 47 days to choose a direction.
My judgment is: next week there is a 35% probability of breaking below 78,500, and a 25% probability of recovering 83,555. A brief analysis of BTC short-term trends based on Dow Theory, Chan Theory, Elliott Wave Theory, volume-price relationship, order flow, and price action (strategy suggestions)
$BTC #星球日报
Comprehensive assessment
Dow Theory shows a converging triangle with four rising lows vs. high point resistance
Chan Theory bottom fractal with four rising lows + critical upper edge of the micro center
Elliott Wave Theory contraction triangle end, breaking above 55% measurement at 84,400+
Volume-price relationship: lowest volume + positive Delta + accumulation characteristics
Order flow VA deviation under correction + weekend buying dominance
Price action is isomorphic to the night before the 10-11 spring.
Six-dimensional synthesis: The calm weekend is the calm before the storm, and multiple pieces of evidence (rising lows, positive Delta, gentle accumulation slope) slightly favor the bulls. But please note—this is a "slight bias," not a "confirmation"; Monday's volume recovery will be the real judge. #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 $NFLX will disclose its Q3 earnings after the U.S. market closes on October 20. My stance this time is cautiously optimistic.
The company has provided guidance, targeting revenue of $12.86 billion this quarter, a year-over-year increase of about 12%, with an expected operating margin of 33.2%.
My prediction: revenue will likely be close to guidance, with a slight chance of profit exceeding expectations. Advertising monetization is the core focus of this earnings report.
There is a key point that cannot be overlooked.
Last year, there was a large tax expense that suppressed the profit margin for that period.
Therefore, the year-over-year improvement in profit margin this year requires careful analysis to distinguish how much is due to business improvement itself and how much is due to the fading of last year's one-time factors.
Whether the stock price can rally after the earnings release does not solely depend on meeting the quarterly performance targets.
The real catalysts to watch are two core factors: the actual growth of advertising revenue and whether the management's guidance for Q4 can exceed market expectations.
The surprise potential in the market lies in these two areas. We await the post-market earnings release for verification.
#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 The real trading account of the "Eleven Boss" looks like a money printing machine: account assets are about 1.66 million U, with an annual return of 342%, peaking at 537%, and a win rate of about 64% in the last 30 days, labeled as a "swing trader." But what really sends chills down your spine is not how much he made, but how he lost.
Almost all his trades are high-leverage, tough risk-taking. BTCUSDT perpetual, long position, full margin, 50x leverage, with a maximum of 50 contracts; from 79940.6 to 79432.3, closed in just over an hour, with a real loss of 27,644 U, a return rate of -34.58%. ETHUSDT perpetual also long, full margin, 50x leverage, with a maximum of 2000 contracts, has realized a loss of 12,573 U. SOL only used 10x leverage, with a slight loss of -0.02.
At 50x leverage, if the price moves about 2% against the position, the account could be nearly wiped out. So he is not "unable to lose," but cuts losses when they occur, does not fight to the end, does not add to positions, and does not let unrealized losses turn into liquidation. This kind of curve often does not earn steadily every day but relies on a few big market moves to pull up profits, constantly using small losses to survive in between.
High-leverage real trading accounts are most easily deceived by the final numbers. When looking at such accounts, you cannot just look at the return rate and win rate, but must also look at single trade losses, maximum drawdown, position size, stop-loss discipline, and whether the equity curve is propped up by a few extreme profits. The truly valuable skill is not daring to go 50x, but being able to survive and leave when wrong.#Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期
The main theme in the AI market is shifting from "who spends the most" to "can AI recoup its costs."
The certainty of capital expenditure and the certainty of investment returns have never been equivalent. Anyone can spend money, but making money is probabilistic.
The issue is that the money earned upstream is precisely the money spent downstream. During the expansion phase, this cycle self-reinforces: giants increase spending → chip manufacturers' revenue grows → market expectations are adjusted → capital continues to flow in.
High interest rates further compress the margin for error. Capital has a cost, debt has a term, equipment depreciates, GPUs have iteration cycles, income can wait, but interest cannot.
An industry that relies on continuous investment to sustain valuation expansion, when the market starts focusing on "whether costs can be recovered," indicates that the growth credit it previously received is being re-evaluated. The shift from "believing in the future" to "demanding realization" is itself a change in the pricing mechanism.
This does not mean AI has no future. The internet changed the world, yet that did not prevent the internet bubble from bursting. The success of a technological revolution and whether the capital participating in the revolution can obtain reasonable returns are two different matters.
Therefore, for assets relying on unlimited capital expenditure and long-term profits to support valuation: when the market begins to debate whether it can ultimately make money, the previous phase of the game may already be over.
Spending money to create prosperity is easy; proving prosperity by making money is difficult. The harshest reality of the capital market is: you can ultimately prove you were right, but by then you no longer have enough cash flow to survive.Last night I just said the weekend would be sideways, but at midnight the bulls got a lesson! BTC once dipped to 80,813 dollars, and ETH was even harsher, touching 2,356, then pulling back to around 81,800 and 2,416 respectively. According to previous statistics, about 118 million dollars worth of related contracts were liquidated within an hour, nearly 86% of which were long positions. Last week's ETF outflows are background pressure, but it can't be said that institutions were dumping over the weekend. Also, the Middle East situation hasn't eased; Saudi Arabia continues to face attacks, and Brent crude oil once approached 110 dollars last Friday. The inflation pressure from high oil prices may continue to affect risk sentiment next week. Recently, Sun Ge mentioned the quantum computing Q-day. BTC's BIP-360 is still a draft, and ETH is also advancing quantum resistance research. I think this is a security issue worth long-term attention and should be monitored more in the future. Personally, I still see a bearish bias in the current consolidation. BTC is indeed stubbornly strong; first, watch if it can hold steady at 81,600–81,700; ETH needs to reclaim 2,420–2,425. If it falls below 80,800 and 2,356 again and fails to recover, be wary of continued weakness. I still prefer to wait for real buying pressure on Monday to give the answer. Weekend got itchy hands and kept watching the market, after watching I just want to say: short-term trading really tortures people😮💨
$BTC: 1h and 4h spot and futures are all leaking, futures are running away faster; 24h spot still has net inflow, indicating long-term money hasn't withdrawn, but short-term relay is broken. The dollar is pressured by news, after BTC spikes, still need to guard against pullbacks. Chasing the rebound? First ask yourself if you can take the hit😅
$ETH: funds are flowing back and forth, 1h spot turns to outflow, 4h futures inflow again, typical no direction. But ETF has had net inflow for 10 consecutive days, big institutions are supporting around 2300-2400. There's a floor and a ceiling, don't guess, wait for it to choose a direction🧐
$SOL: spot 1h, 4h, 24h are all receiving inflows, but futures 24h have large outflows. ETF applications and upgrades are the story, FTX/Alameda potential selling pressure is the stone. Spot and futures are fighting, just watch the show, don't get involved🎭
I opened a $BTC ant-sized short position at 81431 on OKX, stop loss at 83904, taking profits in batches as it falls. Not bearish long-term, just betting the buying side will break first to wash out some positions. Small position, clear attitude: right don't get cocky, wrong don't get hurt😎
This wave of "buying side falling behind," are you holding spot firmly or washing out short-term first? Let's chat in the comments, everybody🙌BTC is retesting the ascending trendline; whether it holds will determine the subsequent direction.
From 58,000 at the end of June, to 75,000 in mid-September, and now around 81,000, the daily lows have been steadily rising, and the mid-term upward structure has not been broken. However, with lows rising and highs falling, the two trendlines are gradually converging, and BTC has entered a critical pivot window.
The macro environment has slightly eased: U.S. stocks opened lower but rose, with the S&P and Dow closing higher. CPI and PPI consecutively exceeded expectations but did not trigger outright panic. U.S. Treasury yields have fallen, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in October has dropped to about 30%, improving short-term liquidity expectations. However, inflationary pressure remains, and tariffs, energy prices, and valuation risks in AI tech stocks continue to suppress risk appetite.
So, it is neither a clear bottom nor a genuine breakout upward at this point. Focus on two key levels: $80,000 is the critical mid-term trend defense line; holding it still offers a chance to push to $85,000–$87,500. $84,000 is near the descending trendline; only a breakout with volume can confirm bulls regaining control. Conversely, if the daily chart effectively breaks below $80,000, especially if a rebound fails to recover, watch for a retest of $75,000–$78,000.
Short-term bias is toward consolidation and recovery, not rushing for a one-sided rally. The third retest of the trendline could be an opportunity or a trap.
#BTCBoss Shi's short position this round is strong in "depth," not "aggressiveness"
Only two perpetual contracts in the real account, both with the same direction: fully short.
XRPUSDT: short 1.2 million tokens, full position 10x leverage, entry at 1.5022, mark price 1.296, unrealized profit +247,500 U, +137.28%.
BTCUSDT: short 150 tokens, full position 10x leverage, entry at 86195.3, mark price 81630.2, unrealized profit +684,800 U, +52.96%.
Total unrealized profit of about 932,200 U for both positions.
The key point is not the profit, but the page showing "current position short 1.88x": it says 10x, but the actual portfolio exposure is about 1.88x; maintenance margin rate is 6401.5%, liquidation price still "--". This indicates he is not maxing out leverage to bet on direction, but leaving enough safety margin to ride the trend.
The insight is clear: XRP has more volatile profits, BTC has a larger amount. If there is a rebound, XRP will be more volatile; if the decline continues, BTC is the main driver. Don't copy the direction, copy his sense of distance: staying far from liquidation is what allows holding onto unrealized profits. 账户余额回到200美元，但周末的疲惫感挥之不去。$BTC 和 $ETH 到底想走哪边？要跌就跌得干脆，为何又画出一个V形反转？每天都能听到“牛回来了”的呼喊，喊得越多，反而越让人心里发毛。 这种情绪本身就是信号。当市场共识从“恐慌”滑向“机械式喊牛”，价格却仍在关键位附近反复拉锯，说明多空双方都没有拿到决定性筹码。$BTC 眼下盯着80000这条支撑线，$ETH 则把2388当成生死线——这两个数字不是随便画的，它们是杠杆清算密集区和前期筹码换手区的重叠带。价格在这里反复插针，本质是流动性猎杀，而非趋势启动。 最有意思的博弈出现在 $ETH 上。有人想在此处开多、把止损压在2388下方，逻辑是“买一份保险”：涨了能吃两头，止损不过是错过机会。这个思路听起来聪明，但忽略了一个二阶效应——当足够多的交易者把止损堆在同一位置，2388下方就成了做市商眼中的“流动性磁铁”。价格未必真跌破趋势，却极可能先扫掉这批止损再决定方向。所谓“天才反复吃”，前提是仓位能活到趋势兑现的那一刻。 再看 $ZEC，卖方阵营还在硬扛，喊着“充值信仰”。这种口号式表态往往出现在筹码松动的前夜——真正有信心的资金不需Today's market breadth: 20 up / 179 down, median -2.72%, very grim.
BAT's current round is a textbook "pump and dump" scenario: from 10-15 to early 10-16, it surged from 0.168 to 0.216, +22%. On the morning of 10-16, it was directly dumped by -10%, then rebounded for two days, and today dropped another -10.5%, closing at 0.18 — basically all gains wiped out.
This is not an accident, it's structural. After a volume explosion and price surge, a dump inevitably follows, and the decline during the dumping phase is often smoother and harsher than the rise, because those who chased in become trapped holders, and the selling pressure is active.
Current market environment: out of 199 coins, only 20 are up, breadth is extremely compressed. At times like this, the two most common mistakes are —
First, seeing a lot of decline and trying to bottom-fish, thinking "oversold = rebound guaranteed." But oversold can get even more oversold; until leveraged longs are fully liquidated, the bottom isn't solid.
Second, seeing BAT drop 10% and thinking it's cheap. Cheap is relative; a 30% drop from a high is still a high level, the valuation system has already changed.
My experience is: wait. Wait for volume to shrink, wait for moving averages to converge, wait for the market to choose its own direction. Today's breadth at least indicates the market hasn't finished falling yet, no rush.
What do you think, can BAT hold this position? $BATThis sideways movement over the weekend isn’t accumulation; it’s a lack of participants.
BTC at 81,858 has been grinding between 80,813 and 81,892 for 24 hours, with a volatility of 1.33%, and it hasn’t broken out of this box for six hours now.
Looking at the funding rates makes it clearer: BTC at 0.0071%, even lower than the 0.01% baseline; ETH at 0.002%; SOL is actually negative. The longs aren’t willing to pay more, and the shorts won’t pay either—neither side is betting.
Just saw a guy on the plaza with only 200 bucks left, saying he wants to open an ETH long with a stop loss at 2388, "even if stopped out, it’s just missing out." This is the real sentiment in a thin market: not bullish, just afraid to miss out.
Sideways with no liquidations + funding rates near zero isn’t accumulation; it’s that no one is willing to pay for a direction. They’re waiting for external events, not technical patterns.
Here’s a way to prove me wrong: if by Monday 21:30 before the US stock market opens, BTC is still between 80,813 and 81,892, then within 12 hours after the open there will definitely be a one-sided move over 1.5%; if BTC breaks above 82,309 before Sunday, consider this prediction wrong.
The most costly thing about sideways movement isn’t opportunity cost, it’s what you think it’s brewing.
I got two out of three predictions right this week, and one was off by 1.6%, so don’t treat this one as gospel either.
What do you think this wave is waiting for?
#USCPIandPPIsurpassexpectations, will there be another rate hike this year? $BTC$ATOM The essence of ATOM K-line volatility -- a surge followed by a drop exposes the "script"
A 17% surge in one day, then a drop the next day — what is the main force testing?
On October 9, ATOM surged to $2.06 (+17.34%), then fell back to $1.95 the next day. The daily chart shows resistance at the upper boundary of a symmetrical triangle; the script is "profit-taking leads to a pullback": inflation halving implemented + all Neutron funds recovered. The Gauntlet report reveals the truth: the problem is not inflation, but the distribution mechanism, Phase 2 is being rewritten.
Community users say: "I didn’t sell during the drop because the system is evolving."
The K-line is the surface; the narrative is the fuel for the main upward wave.
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins I glanced at the contract data this morning and really feel for those bottom-fishing over the weekend. BTC looks steady as ever, but retail bulls in ETH and SOL are crowding the trade to the point of congestion. This is always the pattern before a sharp drop.
First, look at the stable $BTC, currently priced at 81459, with a 24-hour low of 80754. Although open interest has dropped from its peak to 2.49 billion, indicating some funds have exited, the long-short ratio remains high at 1.88. Bulls still dominate, but as long as the 80000 mark holds, the market can keep stalling here.
The most dangerous is $ETH, currently at 2401, with the long-short ratio soaring to 2.49! The lowest dip was 2355, and retail investors see this as a solid bottom and are rushing in. But in this kind of slow downtrend, the more crowded the bulls, the faster they die. Once it breaks below 2350, a cascade of liquidations will be truly brutal.
Next, $SOL is at 103.35, with a long-short ratio of 2.42, and the low has already touched 101. Retail investors are desperately holding their positions. There’s a lot of trapped supply above, and the rebound lacks volume. If the market softens even slightly, SOL will definitely lead the plunge.
My view is simple: this is another classic slow bleed. As long as bulls don’t die off, the downtrend won’t stop. Don’t catch the falling knife at this level; bottom-fishing on the left side is just giving away money. I’ll stay out and watch. When these bulls can’t hold anymore and start cutting losses, or when the long-short ratio drops below 1.5, then I’ll consider entering.

#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ ETF withdrew 2,718 $BTC in five days
In five days, the ETF had a net outflow of 2,718 $BTC.
On the 13th, 2,147 $BTC came in; on the 14th, 3,144 $BTC went out.
How this number is calculated:
Subtracting inflows from outflows, the net for five days is an outflow.
On Friday, another 1,002 $BTC left; money is moving out.
The moment it triggered:
3.25 billion was liquidated across the entire network in 24 hours.
94,000 people were forcibly liquidated, with long positions accounting for 79%.
The price didn’t crash because the selling pressure was absorbed.
$BTC is now stuck at 81,286.
Positions are shrinking faster than the price, indicating no one wants to hold overnight.
$ETH is at 2,389, $SOL at 102.78.
The liquidated long positions were bought on margin.
When the price hits that line, the system sells for you automatically.
After selling this batch, the next batch’s line appears again.
Whether the 81,286 level holds or not is a different matter.
#VanEck停止推进Lido质押以太坊ETF
#$BTC $ETH #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 No wonder BTC and ETH started to rebound steadily at 3 a.m.
It turns out our beloved Mr. Trump spoke. According to the latest news on October 18, he said at a rally in Kentucky that the nearly eight-month-long Iran war will soon end, and gasoline prices will fall below pre-war levels. Coincidentally, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi also reiterated the "seven-day navigation plan," expressing willingness to restore normal navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. One after another, expectations for a cooling Middle East situation instantly surged.
This is clearly a "political puzzle" for the midterm elections. If oil prices fall, it will ease inflation, combined with the uncertainty of rate hikes after CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, risk assets get a breather. BTC stabilized and slightly rose around 81,000, ETH followed the rise, but don't get carried away by the "about to explode" momentum.
The macro environment hasn't completely loosened, ETFs still have net outflows, and the 80,000-83,000 range oscillation hasn't been broken. Geopolitical news is fluctuating (the previous "seven-day plan" had setbacks), and high leverage is most afraid of such spikes. It's better to rebound with light positions and wait for institutional inflows and substantial ceasefire signals; don't guess the bottom or chase the high. Brothers, preserving principal is more important than missing out! $BTC $ETH $ZEC #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点
Netflix's fundamentals have consistently been stable, with low expectations and a low stock price level, so the probability of a "slight beat + stock price recovery" is not low; however, revenue growth has slowed to about 12%, the slowest in nearly 11 quarters. To have a big surprise, it would have to rely on the advertising business or a significantly optimistic Q4 guidance, which is unlikely.$ETH issued 2,969 new coins yesterday and burned 13.59 coins. The output is 218 times the amount burned.
The saying "burning equals deflation" has always been the underlying assumption for its pricing. But the burn amount depends on how congested the mainnet is, and over 80% of transactions have long moved to layer two, leaving the mainnet quite idle. The daily burn dropped from $600,000-$700,000 at the end of September to around $50,000 in mid-October, a nearly 70% week-on-week decrease over seven days, and the total over thirty days accounts for only one ten-thousandth of the market cap.
On the issuance side, it is rigid: about 2,900 coins are given to validators daily, not a single one less. Net issuance is over 2,900 coins daily, resulting in an annual inflation rate of 0.9%.
Ethereum is now a mildly inflationary asset. The deflation narrative is no longer factual, just a memory.
The demand side hasn't helped either—Ethereum ETFs saw cumulative outflows approaching $900 million in October, with $320 million outflow in a single week last week, more than Bitcoin funds.
The price still holds above $2,400, relying not on deflation but on staking: nearly 30% of supply is locked in staking, and publicly listed companies' treasuries account for another 6.6%. These two are different in nature; deflation is a mechanism and cannot be undone; staking is a choice and can be undone at any time.
The support levels are at $2,397 and $2,417, with resistance at $2,534 and $2,552. When that ETH line crashed down, 2400 didn't hold at all. Within an hour, Binance, Bybit, and OKX combined saw $27.02 million worth of long positions wiped out, while shorts only cleared a few hundred thousand. The price slid from 2424 straight down to 2355, without even a decent rebound. BTC wasn't doing any better, dropping to 81000, with over $115 million in long positions liquidated within sixty minutes. Weekend liquidity is thin to begin with, and when leverage kicks in, it's as fragile as paper.
What's even worse is the ETF side. ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow exceeding $1.4 billion in a single week, breaking both the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, signaling a bearish technical pattern. On-chain, a batch of old addresses holding for 3 to 10 years are selling at the fastest pace since 2021. On the macro front, CPI at 3.7% exceeded expectations, and the 10-year Treasury yield surged to 5.26%. With money this expensive, assets that don't generate cash flow naturally get hit first.
But interestingly, during these days of decline, large addresses have been accumulating in the opposite direction, with several giant whales buying over a billion dollars worth of ETH cumulatively.
The liquidation chart structure is also very fragmented now: if ETH breaks below 2392, there's another $475 million in long liquidations waiting. On the upside, short liquidations at 2618 have a strength of $466 million, but that's a story for later.
At this point, those cutting losses are handing chips over to the ones catching falling knives. I'm not advising to bottom-fish, but weekend leverage sweeps never play by the rules.
