AI credit anxiety spreads: Nasdaq posts worst week since June, Meta drops 3.7% in a single day.
This week, Nasdaq fell 4.5%, S&P 500 dropped 1.9% for the week, triggered by "credit issues" related to AI capital expenditures.
Meta closed at $709.33 on Friday, down 3.7%. Q2 free cash flow shrank to $784 million (compared to $8.55 billion same period last year), long-term debt rose from $58.7 billion to $83.7 billion, with 2026 capex guidance at $130–145 billion.
CoreWeave dropped about 24% in a week, with corporate bond yields breaking 15%; AI-related corporate bond issuance fell from 113 billion in June to 23 billion in September, the bond market is already voting with its feet.
I think the market is not denying AI, but repricing "burning cash for growth"; Meta's Q3 earnings after market close on October 21 will be the first touchstone, where free cash flow stability matters more than revenue.
I won't act before the earnings, will wait for the numbers after market close on October 21; if Q3 free cash flow rebounds beyond expectations, this "credit anxiety" logic will be invalidated.
Which side are you on? A: AI capex bubble bursts, tech stocks will fall further; B: panic creates a golden pit, reversal after earnings.

#Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期 I have been closely watching $UNI. It started weakening since mid-September, showing some leading characteristics, so I judge that there should be a technical rebound during the period from the 13th to the 18th.
This also explains why despite continuous negative data earlier, the market was still able to repeatedly rally. It’s not a trend strengthening, but a short-term rebound that has not yet ended.
Today at 8 AM Beijing time, a new five-day K-line started, ending the previous rebound window, and the market has entered a new phase of directional choice.
My judgment: In the next 7–10 days, the downward direction will become clearer.
The $BTC 80,000 USD and $ETH 2,300 USD levels will overall step down to a lower level.
The time window switches, volume dries up, and rebound momentum weakens.
The main downward trend in Q4 remains unchanged. What’s truly worth paying attention to next is the magnitude and speed of the next breakdown. $ETH $SOL Negative fee rate soared to -0.193%. Observe first, don't blindly short. $SAND has retraced over 30% from the October high of $0.084 down to $0.0589.
At the beginning of the month, South Korea's three major exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone lifted the cross-chain bridge warnings and resumed deposits and withdrawals, which once pushed the total contract open interest across the network to 6.4 times the market cap.
Now, sentiment has cooled off, breaking below the $0.065 neckline, but buy orders below the OKX order book still account for 59%, and shorts have to pay nearly 0.2% high funding fees each period.
I think the resumption of deposits and withdrawals in South Korea released six weeks of pent-up on-chain cash-out selling pressure, but now shorts are too crowded. Combined with the October Sandbox Studio public beta catalyst, chasing shorts at the current price is very likely to be squeezed by whales through fee eating and forced liquidations.
Currently, at $0.0589, observe without catching the falling knife or chasing shorts. Only a volume-backed recovery above the previous neckline at $0.065 confirms a stop in the decline and reversal.
If volume-backed break below the lower edge of the $0.0545 support zone occurs, the negative fee rate rebound logic will fail directly, and the price will retest the $0.048 starting bottom.
Facing an extreme negative fee rate of -0.193%, will you gamble on a $SAND short squeeze rebound at $0.0589, or wait for a retracement to continue shorting?

Recently, I came across a shared story and was silent for a long time after reading it.
A 32-year-old trader withdrew 250,000 from his account for living expenses. He said that when things were going well, the money in the exchange was just a number; once deposited, he never thought about withdrawing it, even feeling that "withdrawing" was a sign of giving up. During the tailwind period, he leveraged up, trying to make a big move, but ended up losing everything. Later, as traffic and trading became more difficult, his income dropped to less than a tenth of what it was during the tailwind period, and the pressure truly mounted.
What stings is not the 250,000. It's that he clearly had more in his account before but was never "respected".
Many people think the market punishes wrong directions. In fact, it punishes you for mistaking volatility for skill and tailwinds for normalcy.
---
The news is telling a very honest thing: money is becoming "timid".
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $678.9 million in the first week of October, reversing from a net inflow of $241.1 million the previous week—a $920 million turnaround in one week. On October 7, the single-day outflow was the harshest, with $484.9 million withdrawn; BlackRock's IBIT alone pulled out $207.7 million. Ethereum ETFs were even more straightforward, with consecutive days of net outflows. The institutional risk-averse sentiment is not "possible"; it has already materialized on the books.
Stablecoins are also interesting. The total market cap is stuck around 310 billion, with a slight 0.34% drop in the past seven days; USDC shrank by 1.43% over thirty days. Stablecoins not rising means no new money is rushing in; ETFs flowing out means old money is moving out. Squeezed from both sides, the market's "oxygen concentration" is decreasing.
Not to mention the October 15 event, when the Federal Reserve's interest rate path wavered, forcing nearly $1 billion in leverage liquidations across the market. Ethereum contract liquidations hit $286 million, worse than Bitcoin's $197 million, even though ETH's open interest is only about 60% of BTC's. Assets more sensitive to leverage get hit first.
---
But the market tells another version of the story.
Bitcoin's 1% depth reached $11.7 million on October 7, 75% higher than the flash crash on October 10 last year. Ethereum's 0.5% depth order book more than doubled compared to the crash day, reaching $4.2 million. This is real money stacked by market makers, not an illusion of price rebound. The "foundation" of mainstream coins is thickening.
Altcoins paint a completely different picture. The 5% depth in USD terms has dropped about one-third since early 2025, down to $2 million, and the weekly spot trading volume is nearly two-thirds lower than during the flash crash week. Liquidity has not returned to altcoins; it has chosen to stay at the gates of $BTC and $ETH. This means if a rebound really comes, altcoins' "support" will be more selective than before, and the speed of pullback after a spike will be faster, narrowing the tolerance for chasing highs.
A detail worth watching on Ethereum: the $ETH/$BTC exchange inflow ratio is falling from a high, meaning holders are sending fewer coins to exchanges to sell, and the $ETH/$BTC spot volume ratio has stopped hitting new lows. This doesn't mean $ETH is about to lead altcoins higher, but the relative strength is shifting from "being suppressed unilaterally" toward "stabilizing." This change is slow but more honest than any trading call.
---
So the current situation is better understood as a risk preference re-pricing than a simple bull or bear market.
During tailwinds, everyone competes on who leverages higher and pushes harder; during headwinds, the competition is on who holds cash, who stays at the table, and whose positions won't wake them up at midnight.
That 32-year-old trader withdrawing 250,000 was actually doing one thing: paying himself a "winter salary" before the tailwind fully turns into a headwind. It's not bearish; it's acknowledging that volatility is cyclical and that his mindset and account can't endure a second time of "taking tailwinds as normal."
Going forward, focus on three things rather than guessing direction:
When $BTC pulls back, is volume shrinking to stop the fall, or increasing to leak downward? Shrinking volume on pullback means chips are settling; volume breakout means leverage is clearing again.
Can $ETH/$BTC rise first while $BTC stabilizes? If $BTC moves sideways and $ETH's relative strength rises, it means funds are rotating internally, not fleeing risk. If both move sideways with shrinking volume, it's pure wait-and-see.
The speed of altcoin pullbacks after spikes. Good support means pullbacks have buying support; poor support means prices retreat after just three candlesticks. This signal is more direct than any narrative.
Leaving a winter fund during tailwinds gives you the qualification to slowly refine your strategy during headwinds.
Respect volatility first, then talk about direction.

In two hours, it bounced from 79,800 back to 82,500. Honestly, when I saw this candle, my first reaction wasn’t excitement but a chill down my spine.
Too fast. So fast it’s like someone had already cast a net below 78,000, waiting for you to get cut at the floor before scooping you up. Glassnode’s data is straightforward: liquidity below 80,000 is ridiculously thin, and the real new buy orders cluster around 78,000—that’s where "real money" is willing to step in. In other words, the 80,000 round number is more of an emotional fig leaf than a structural iron bottom.
The bulls’ trump card is more fragile than it appears on the surface.
The average ETF holding cost is roughly around $81,500. Although the price has bounced back to 82,500, it means most people who entered through ETFs in recent months have just barely poked their heads above water. This "just breaking even" state is the most dangerous—push a little higher, and the unlocking positions will flood out like a dam breaking. The 84,000 to 86,000 range isn’t just packed with retail stop-loss orders; it’s the densest chip wall held by long-term holders, the "escape hatch" shared by ETF trapped positions and early bulls. Without continuous real money volume to chew through it, trying to break through with just a two-hour bullish candle is like trying to dismantle a wall with nail clippers.
The bears haven’t been idle either, just changing tactics.
Willy Woo said back in early March: if 80,000 is quickly pierced and then reclaimed, it’s likely a bull trap; the macro environment doesn’t support a V-shaped recovery. It sounded alarmist then, but looking back, it’s at least worth keeping on your screen. ETF fund flows tell the story better: mid-March saw four consecutive weeks of net inflows, but by the last week of March, Bitcoin ETFs had a single-week net outflow of $296 million, wiping out a large portion of the previous four weeks’ gains. The capital side never formed a "sustained buying" momentum, only a tug-of-war of two steps forward, one step back.
The real knife is outside the candlestick chart.
Core PPI hit 3.9% in February, a one-year high; CPI at 2.4% looks okay but is still far from the 2% target. The Fed held steady in March, with the dot plot suggesting possibly only one rate cut left this year, and Powell even put "next step could be a rate hike" on the table. Under this macro backdrop, every decent rebound in risk assets is treated by institutions as a window to reduce positions, not to add. Not to mention the Fear & Greed Index was in single digits in early March, and while prolonged extreme fear can be a contrarian indicator, "extreme sentiment" only explains rebound elasticity, not the height of a reversal.
So my view is straightforward: this looks more like a short-term bottoming repair, not a trend reversal signal. Holding 80,000 means bulls still have some breath; but the real test is the wall from 84,000 to 86,500. Until we see continuous ETF net inflows return and weekly candle bodies close above 86,000, any intraday rally I’ll treat as "providing liquidity to trapped positions."
Don’t catch a falling knife, don’t chase fake breakouts. Let it choose its own direction—living longer beats picking its direction for it.

What do you think this bullish candle is—a tourniquet or a bull trap candy? Let’s discuss in the comments.The entire market is down with 172 coins falling, median -2.27%, but $SAND quietly rose 10% today.
It's not chasing the sector; it's driven by its own structure.
Looking at the 4H chart: starting from around $0.055 at midnight on October 17, three candlesticks gradually increased volume — 39M at 4 AM, 45M at 8 AM, and a volume spike to 148M at noon. The volume is more than 10 times that of the previous days. This is not retail sentiment; there is active capital building positions.
Today's close is 0.061, with 24-hour trading volume of $212 million.
Why SAND?
The Metaverse sector has been quiet for almost two months, with $MANA and $ENJ showing no movement. But SAND's on-chain active addresses and contract interactions have been quietly rising recently — plus the metaverse sector itself is oversold, and the chip structure is clean enough. Today's bullish candle looks more like a "natural selection after a deep drop" rather than being triggered by any news.
The key level now is 0.064 — the opening price of the high-volume bearish candle on October 12. If it can break through 0.064 with volume tomorrow, the structure will look much better.
What do you think? Can the bulls surpass 0.064 tomorrow?📊 $NFLX Earnings Preview: Meeting performance targets is just the starting point; the advertising business is the key!
Netflix will release its Q3 earnings after the U.S. market closes on October 20. This time, I’m more focused on the quality of growth rather than just the revenue numbers.
📌 Key market points to watch:
- Revenue guidance: $12.86 billion, approximately 12% year-over-year growth
- Operating margin expectation: 33.2%
- Core focus: Monetization capability of the advertising business and Q4 performance guidance
One thing to note: Last year’s tax expenses affected profit performance, so this year’s margin improvement can’t be fully attributed to core business growth; the base effect must be excluded.
I tend to be cautiously optimistic, but what really determines whether the stock price can continue to rise may not be how impressive Q3 results are, but whether advertising revenue exceeds expectations and whether management signals stronger growth for Q4.
If the earnings report just meets expectations, the stock price may not respond; the real surprise might come from future growth potential.
Do you think $NFLX will break upward after this earnings report, or is the good news already priced in?
#NFLX #奈飞财报 #美股分析 #广告业务增长#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins Jensen Huang's one sentence pulled CRWV up 6%, while on the same day its CDS spread hit a historic high.
On October 15, Jensen Huang said in Stockholm: CoreWeave is getting stronger every day, and NVIDIA does not need to back it.
The stock price rose from an intraday -9% to close at +5.9%, closing at 69.69.
On the same day, the five-year CDS spread widened intraday to 1194.5 basis points, a historic high.
The implied five-year cumulative default probability exceeded 60%.
Bonds are more straightforward: the 9% coupon bonds maturing in 2031 yield 15.6%, and the 9.75% ones yield 16.2%.
Carrying about $52 billion in debt and lease obligations, the interest alone in Q2 was $640 million.
The trump card is $104 billion in contracts to be fulfilled, which is also the reason it must continue borrowing.
I think the stock price listens to what people say, but the bond market only recognizes cash flow.
Jensen Huang says capital costs are decreasing, but bond yields rising from 15% to 16.2% is the opposite direction.
I am not buying.
If I were to buy, I would wait for two signals: CDS spreads narrowing for two consecutive weeks, or new bond issuance rates below 10%.
A break below 59.51 (the low on 10/15) would be a repricing, not a mispricing.
Do you think this is a mispricing, or the first crack in AI debt?

#纳指100周跌5.5%，芯片股八连跌 #AI债务Inflation is slightly hot, rate hike undecided: $BTC, $ETH, $SOL enter a wait-and-see window
US CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, theoretically bearish for risk assets; however, on October 16, Walsh did not clarify whether there would be a rate hike in October, and Daly and Goolsbee were also cautious. After the data release, the market's bet on a 25 basis point hike in October dropped to about 15%, but there is still significant divergence on the path for the rest of the year. The core contradiction is "hard data, soft statements": panic is partially hedged, and the probability of an immediate rate hike in the short term is low.
Will there be another rate hike this year? The short-term probability is low, but not risk-free; the key depends on whether inflation continues to rebound. If subsequent data remains hot, the expectation of restarting rate hikes will suppress the market again.
On the market front, BTC is mainly fluctuating widely in the short term, with inflation pressure and cooling rate hike expectations tugging against each other, awaiting more Fed speeches for direction; ETH moves with the broader market but with greater elasticity, and changes in rate expectations will amplify volatility; SOL is most sensitive to liquidity, facing stronger pullback pressure when rate hike expectations rise, and more likely to surge when easing expectations dominate.
In response, it is not advisable to treat a single data point as a trend. Currently, it looks more like a range-bound game driven by speeches, with BTC, ETH, and SOL most likely maintaining wide fluctuations. Controlling positions and waiting for confirmation is safer.

$BTC $ETH #特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 Brothers, a couple of days ago $TIA surged sharply, I thought I was going to be trapped this time, but fortunately it dropped as expected! This is just the beginning, not the end!
I opened a short position on TIA at 0.6785, and the current price has already dropped to 0.6327, with an unrealized profit of 20.25%, completely turning losses into gains. During the high-level volatility a couple of days ago, many people were shouting for a quick bull rebound, many cut losses and ran, but I held on stubbornly. Why did I dare to hold? Because the trend hasn't changed; no matter how high it rallies, it will obediently fall back eventually.
Look at BLUR now, the current price is 0.01012, although it rose slightly by 0.70%, look at the selling pressure above: 500,000 at 0.01013, 3.7 million at 0.01014, and a huge order of 7.93 million at 0.01015. The long-short ratio is 32% to 68%, with bears completely dominating. Retail investors want to bottom-fish? The layers of sell orders above keep pressing down, making it impossible to lift the price.
On-chain signals have never stopped. Upbit has put BLUR on the trading warning list, market maker Wintermute keeps transferring coins to exchanges, and the platform's TVL has plummeted nearly 90%.
This is just the beginning, not the end. The trend is downward, keep holding the short position steady, let the profits fly a little longer.
$BTC $ETH #特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 #Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期
Meta's AI mega-investment has officially entered the "big test" phase, with market focus shifting from the "scale" of capital expenditure to the "return rate" in real money.
Currently, Meta is deeply trapped in the dilemma of advertising "money printing" versus AI "burning money." Although AI empowerment has increased advertising unit prices, capital expenditures exceeding $30 billion per quarter have caused free cash flow to plummet by 90%, sharply increasing financial pressure. Unlike Microsoft and Google, Meta lacks cloud business as a monetization buffer; its AI returns rely entirely on advertising efficiency improvements and the still immature AI Agent, making the commercialization path unclear. Although management is betting heavily on the future of "personal AI agents" against all odds, they have yet to provide a clear timeline for return on investment.
As the "purest AI stress test sample," whether Meta's AI story can deliver will directly determine if it can survive this brutal capital winter.Don't mistake the upgrade calendar for a price increase schedule
The Alpenglow upgrade is scheduled for October 21, yet $SOL is still hovering around 104, down 5.5% over the week. The clearer the schedule, the more cautious you should be about one thing: expectations may have already been priced in early. Next, verify in three steps—whether the upgrade can be completed smoothly, whether improvements translate into real usage, and whether the market is willing to assign a higher valuation. The first step is not hard to fulfill; the latter two are the real turning points. If discussions heat up as the launch approaches but buying pressure fails to push prices, it’s likely not that the market hasn’t reacted, but that the pricing is already stretched.
$ENA gave a single-day rebound of 2.7%, but still fell 9% over the week. This is when it’s easiest to overestimate the speed of recovery. I prefer to continuously record the low points after each rebound: if each bounce ends lower than the previous one, the structure is still deteriorating; only if the lows gradually rise can the rebound be considered to have started producing results.
$OP rose 39% in a month but was basically flat over the week. The previous rise has already happened; now we need to see where new momentum will come from. Without significant changes in business progress or market sentiment, simply expecting another rise because "it has consolidated long enough" is a weak argument. The calendar can be set, but prices don’t necessarily follow.
#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ #机构资金持续流出，BTC能否企稳？ #纳指100周跌5.5%，芯片股八连跌 Stocks collectively spiked down sharply in the early morning, even chips couldn't hold up?
Within 10 minutes, AI concept stocks like Western Digital $WDC, Micron $MU, and SK Hynix $SKHY perpetual contracts collectively flashed a drop of 6% to 7%, then quickly rebounded.
Don't rush to call it a crash; these are perpetual contract prices being traded, which doesn't mean the US stock spot market is simultaneously plunging, nor can it be directly interpreted as institutions collectively fleeing.
But this spike down isn't without background.
The Nasdaq dropped about 4.5% over the week, CoreWeave fell 12% in one day, and about 25% over five trading days; rising oil prices, inflation rebound, and rate hike concerns are squeezing the imagination space for high-valuation AI assets. The market is starting to doubt how much profit the AI infrastructure investments being hammered down can actually make back.
This sharp drop should be seen as a liquidity warning in a high volatility environment and cannot yet prove a full withdrawal of spot funds. If the spot market simultaneously shows volume decline, and perpetual open interest and liquidation data also indicate leverage clearing, then it would mean deleveraging is spreading;
If it's just a brief spike down followed by recovery, don't immediately interpret a contract anomaly as an AI bubble burst.

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.

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 What’s truly easy to misinterpret isn’t that "the market is hard to trade anymore," but mistaking a temporary tailwind for your own consistent skill. Have you noticed that even seasoned traders have quietly started withdrawing living expenses and holding cash recently? I recently came across a very candid share: a 32-year-old trader withdrew 250,000 from their account for daily expenses, saying that when income was good before, they never felt money needed to be "respected"—they just left it in the exchange, only depositing without withdrawing, even leveraging up during tailwinds to try for a big win, but ended up losing everything; later, as traffic and trading became harder, income dropped to less than a tenth of the tailwind period, and pressure immediately mounted. The most painful part here isn’t the loss itself, but that the rhythm changed and they didn’t adapt. Many think the market is punishing direction, but it’s actually punishing the habit of "treating volatility as skill" in position sizing. Looking back at this in terms of the market, it’s not about any particular coin’s bullish or bearish news, but about risk appetite contracting: when participants start withdrawing, holding cash, and reducing trading frequency, the first reflection is often not BTC’s direction, but slower trading pace, weaker willingness to chase highs, and more selective altcoin support. On the bullish side, this contraction often happens after a phase of clearing out—floating supply is cleared, leverage cools down—and as long as BTC holds key ranges, ETH and high-quality narratives are more likely to stage a clean rebound. On the risk side, if withdrawals and cautiousness continue to spread, rebounds will lack sustainability, altcoins are more prone to pulsing then falling back, and "correctly predicting direction but not capturing profits" will become the norm in trading. I break down the key signals into two groups: - Momentum signals: 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.
Key resistance level: $82,700
Key support level: $81,000
Long-short ratio: Retail and large holders are all long.
Binance retail long-short ratio is 1.7442, OKX retail is 1.8.
For large holders: number of large holders long-short ratio is 1.8377, large holders position long-short ratio is 1.7783.
Capital flow: On-chain mining companies are depositing funds, while contract short-term traders are exiting.
On-chain core signals: In the past 7 days, Core Scientific (mining company) balance surged 210.33%, Capital (CCTP) increased 240.7%, Kraken increased 124.7%. Mining companies and institutions are moving large amounts of BTC to exchanges, preparing to dump at any time.
Contract side: 5-minute net outflow of $49.36 million, 1-hour net outflow of $32.93 million. The recent rally saw short-term main forces taking profits.
$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.

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.

#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.
