Six Mountains (1.27 Billion Monthly Unlocks) Crushing STRK's Anti-Quantum Dream?
Core Dialectical Conclusion: Token unlock sell pressure hits the coin price, market confidence, and capital expectations; however, it does not directly crush the underlying cryptographic technology development itself. These two aspects should be viewed separately.
For six consecutive months, 127 million STRK tokens are unlocked monthly, known in the market as the "Six Mountains" pressing down on STRK. Below is an analysis from three dimensions: pressure, impact, and boundaries.
1. Fourfold Market Impact Brought by the Six Mountains
1. Continuous supply dilution, long-term suppression of coin price valuation
Each month, 127 million new tokens enter the circulating market, continuously increasing supply for half a year. Early investors have very low cost basis and have potential motivation to cash out by selling.
Even if not all are sold, the market will continuously harbor "potential sell pressure" expectations. In a fixed market environment, continuous supply increase suppresses valuation ceilings. Long-term narratives like anti-quantum, independent L1, BTCFi are unlikely in the short term to offset concerns about sell pressure caused by token inflation.
2. Market confidence repeatedly eroded, narrative credibility questioned
Anti-quantum and 2027 upgrade to independent L1 are mid-to-long-term visionary stories with long fulfillment cycles. But token unlocks are immediate and tangible negative factors.
Each unlock window triggers market re-evaluation of sell risks, causing coin price to oscillate and pull back repeatedly. Prolonged weak market conditions may shake some long-term holders’ confidence, causing doubts about project realization and weakening the "anti-quantum infrastructure" narrative premium.
3. Capital pressure, constraints on ecosystem construction funds and community investment
If the coin price remains depressed long-term:
- Foundation treasury assets shrink, compressing budget space for developer incentives, ecosystem subsidies, privacy primitives, and BTCFi R&D;
- Difficulty increases in attracting external developers and institutional capital, slowing ecosystem expansion;
- Community and partners become more cautious, slowing ecosystem implementation pace, indirectly delaying anti-quantum related feature rollouts.
4. Continuous pressure on token structure, each unlock round carries stampede risk
Six rounds of unlocks continuously release low-cost tokens. Once the market turns bearish or sector interest wanes, any unlock round may trigger concentrated sell-offs, causing negative cycles of leveraged liquidations, quant shorting, and retail panic selling.
Sustained weak market conditions reduce patience for the project’s long-term vision.
2. Key Distinction: Unlock Sell Pressure Cannot Directly Destroy Anti-Quantum Technology Itself
This is the most easily confused key point:
✅ The STARK proof layer is now natively anti-quantum; the underlying cryptographic system and zero-knowledge proof technology are embedded in the protocol code, independent of token unlocks and coin price fluctuations.
StarkWare’s R&D team’s technical development, cryptographic experiments, and Falcon post-quantum signature testing are engineering iterations at the technical level and will not become invalid due to token unlocks or price drops.
Simply put:
- Coin price and token circulation belong to the capital market and token economics layer;
- STARK anti-quantum cryptography and account abstraction upgrades belong to the underlying protocol and cryptographic technology layer.
The risk is a delay in progress, not a direct zeroing out.
If the coin price remains depressed long-term and treasury assets shrink significantly, it may lead to reduced R&D investment and extended audit cycles, delaying the 2027 full-chain anti-quantum plus independent L1 goal; but this does not mean the anti-quantum technology concept is directly destroyed.
3. Two Core Conditions to Alleviate the "Six Mountains" Pressure
1. Actual sell-through rate of unlocked tokens is low
Unlocking only removes lockup restrictions; it does not mean all tokens are sold. If early investors are optimistic about the long-term path and choose to stake and hold long-term, actual sell pressure in the secondary market is greatly reduced, naturally easing sell pressure. Some past unlock cycles have seen prices rise post-unlock, reflecting this logic.
2. Ecosystem continues to grow, creating incremental token demand
STRK20 privacy pools, BTCFi, independent L1 ecosystem implementation, on-chain transaction volume increase, gas consumption, and staking demand all rise, generating real buy-side demand to absorb newly unlocked circulating tokens.
Only real ecosystem demand growth can offset the supply pressure from six months of continuous unlocks.
4. Summary
The "Six Mountains" (127 million monthly continuous unlocks) are a huge burden on STRK’s coin price and market confidence, continuously testing capital patience and posing risks of delaying ecosystem and technology upgrade progress.
But they cannot directly crush the underlying anti-quantum technology.
Worst case: prolonged low coin price, reduced R&D budget, delayed 2027 independent L1 and full-chain account anti-quantum upgrades;
Optimistic case: low sell willingness, rapid ecosystem growth, new demand absorbs unlock supply, narrative gradually fulfilled.
Whether the project’s anti-quantum path succeeds ultimately depends on ecosystem implementation, treasury funds, and developer ecosystem, not solely on token unlocks.When watching the BTC intraday chart, it’s worth shifting your gaze to precious metals. 📈 Gold has surged again, silver’s rise is even more intense, and safe-haven funds have cast their votes with real gold and silver.
This isn’t a minor fluctuation but a shift in capital preference. 🛡️ When panic heats up, capital prioritizes flowing to traditional safe havens with longer consensus and deeper liquidity. Although BTC has rebounded, it behaves more like a highly volatile asset following the rhythm of tech stocks and hasn’t firmly captured this round of safe-haven buying.
The "digital gold" narrative has been shouted for years, but when stress tests come, the story often gets knocked back to reality by the market. 🥇→₿ The strengthening of gold and silver alongside BTC’s pressure indicates there’s still a gap between the label and actual capital flows.
Especially when using leverage, stay clear-headed: stories can ignite emotions but also obscure risks. ⚠️ Watching the dollar, real interest rates, and capital migration is more important than blindly believing slogans.
So, as of today, do you still think Bitcoin inherently has safe-haven properties? 🤔 Or is it more like a highly elastic risk asset just wearing a gold coat in certain cycles?$ETH is the weak link. ETH ETFs lost about $250M from Oct 12-15 vs roughly $146M for $BTC funds, and ETH is under $2,400 after hot inflation prints. Meanwhile Santiment shows 10-10,000 BTC wallets at a record 20,338. Big holders are buying while funds hesitate. Are whales early, or absorbing exit liquidity?#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins Good news is everywhere, so why is ETH still falling?
Ethereum dropped from 2807 to 2317, and no one told you why, so I'll tell you.
OpenAI deployed contracts on the Ethereum testnet; AI giants are starting to use Ethereum. But what about ETH? Good news keeps coming, yet the price just won't rise. I've seen this divergence many times: good news flying in the sky, but buying interest lying on the ground. Think about it carefully, if there really was capital entering, could 2800 not hold?
Here are three signals for you to consider.
First, spot ETFs have had net outflows for 8 consecutive days, with $542 million running off, and BlackRock alone withdrew $477 million.
Second, BitMine, holding 6 million ETH close to the 5% limit, announced it would stop regular purchases, removing a predictable big buyer from the market.
Third, the whale holding $252 million in ETH longs has a liquidation line stuck at 2445. If the price dips a bit more, forced liquidation will start, triggering a chain reaction that can't be stopped.
No matter how much good news there is, it can't withstand capital withdrawing. ETFs are running, big buyers have stopped, and the whale's liquidation line is pressing down—how can ETH rise under these three mountains?
Don't wait for good news; good news can't save a market that won't rise. What truly determines the price is never how good the news is, but whether there is still capital willing to pay.
This is just a personal observation and does not constitute investment advice. q

#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 Tonight's sharp rise in oil prices is the result of a convergence of geopolitical risks erupting, an unexpected sharp drop in U.S. inventory data, and deep market anxiety over supply disruptions. $BZ Brent crude closed at $109.86 per barrel, up 3.72%, $CL WTI crude closed at $101.41 per barrel, up 3.51%. WTI has risen for seven consecutive trading days, reaching its highest closing price since September 17.
The military conflict in Yemen and the Red Sea region is the direct trigger. The Yemeni presidential palace was hit by five missiles, and the Saudi-led coalition immediately launched airstrikes on multiple provinces in Yemen. The Houthi forces continued to attack targets inside Saudi Arabia, including the Saudi Aramco headquarters in Dammam and the key Red Sea port city of Yanbu. Meanwhile, the security situation in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply deteriorated—this week Iran significantly intensified attacks on vessels in the strait, with at least nine ships attacked since October 11. The U.S. Central Command confirmed that a Singapore-flagged container ship was hit by an Iranian projectile and sank. Daily oil transport through the strait has dropped to about 9.4 million barrels, only about 70% of the pre-conflict average.**
Energy facility attacks between Russia and Ukraine have simultaneously escalated, forming a second supply risk line. Ukrainian President Zelensky judged that the "energy ceasefire" previously brokered by Trump has lost effectiveness and ordered the resumption of strikes on Russian refineries. The Ryazan refinery, about 200 kilometers southeast of Moscow, was attacked again and caught fire, rapidly heightening market concerns over Russian fuel supplies.**
The unexpected sharp drop in U.S. crude inventories provided the most direct upward momentum for WTI. EIA data showed that for the week ending October 9, U.S. commercial crude inventories fell by 8.6 million barrels to 415.6 million barrels, while the market had only expected a slight decline of about 300,000 barrels. The reduction was mainly due to Hurricane Isaias causing over 70% of offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico to shut down temporarily, U.S. crude production dropping to 13.7 million barrels per day, and imports also falling sharply. This inventory report is "entirely a reflection of the hurricane," intensifying market concerns about short-term supply prospects.
A deeper contradiction lies in the fact that the global oil market has almost no buffer inventories. The CEO of Vitol Group warned that the West has no more inventories to consume, and if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is interrupted, oil prices could surge to $200 per barrel. The Brent crude spot price is about $20 higher than the near-term futures contract, the largest premium since April this year, and the duration is longer, indicating that market concerns over tight physical supply are strengthening.
News of a possible easing of sanctions on the "shadow fleet" of tankers has been temporarily shelved. The White House is considering relaxing sanctions on the global "shadow fleet" of oil tankers to lower freight rates, but this policy is still under discussion and has not offset the concentrated outbreak of geopolitical risks.
The current pricing logic for oil has shifted from a simple inventory game to a repricing of physical supply security anxiety and geopolitical risk premiums. As long as the transit risk in the Strait of Hormuz is not eliminated, the bottom support for oil prices will be difficult to break. #IEA警告柴油紧张至2027年，俄乌冲突加剧供应风险 #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins $BTC shows early strong signals worth noting.
Spot CVD rises in sync with price — indicating real buyers entering, not just market noise. Futures CVD surged during the initial price rebound from the low but has since plateaued.
The key point: this rally is driven by spot, not a rush of longs in perpetual contracts. It’s genuine demand, not leveraged chasing.
As long as spot buying holds steady and long positions remain restrained, there is room for further price gains. If this demand structure stays healthy, the current situation favors continuation of the trend.
Watch for changes in futures CVD or depletion of spot buying — these would be early warning signs. For now, the market condition looks good. $ETH $BTC $SOL Don't be fooled by the rebound's appearance; the funding side shows signs of fatigue:
$BTC 24h spot +120 million / contracts +98 million, but 1h spot -52 million / contracts -250 million, selling pressure is coming.
$ETH 24h contracts +380 million, spot -110 million, no spot support = lack of foundation.
$SNDK 1h bilateral outflow, softening at 4h.
My SOXS 25x long (46.52→49.08, +137%) — high leverage demands no greed; a 4% spike down at 25x causes liquidation, already pushed to breakeven. Don't chase the rebound high, watch for 1h selling pressure to contract, take profits while you can #特斯拉发布新一代Roadster，行情走高 Funds are flowing out of Dogecoin. From October 7 to 8, DOGE long positions were liquidated for $16 million; in the previous four days, $55 million flowed out of the spot market. These two sums come from different directions: one is forced liquidation of leveraged positions, the other is holders selling to exit.
In terms of scale alone, this round of withdrawal is not fatal. DOGE's daily trading volume is between $500 million and $1 billion, so the $55 million outflow accounts for only a small portion of several days' volume, and the market depth is sufficient to absorb it. The key lies in the direction: liquidations indicate leveraged long funds are exiting, and spot outflows indicate real capital is also withdrawing. Both lines point to the same conclusion — money is leaving DOGE, not just circulating within the market.
The synchronized withdrawal of leverage and spot is more worth tracking than a single day's large liquidation. Forced liquidations can be completed within a day, but spot outflows require holders to make selling decisions day after day. The outflow lasting four days means sellers are not leaving passively but are reducing exposure.
Next, watch two signals: whether spot outflows slow down and whether liquidation scale decreases. If outflows continue while trading volume declines, $DOGE's rebound will lack support; if outflows converge, this withdrawal looks more like a position adjustment rather than a trend reversal.#Bitcoin short-term holders' holdings rise to 4.08 million coins
The 4.08 million coins held by short-term holders actually represent coin age.
It counts coins that have moved within the last 155 days, excluding exchange balances; each movement resets the timer. Around 6 million coins in February, about 3.94 million on October 4, now 4.08 million; during the same period, long-term holders increased from 13 million to 16 million.
On October 9, within 24 hours, short-term holders transferred over 50,000 coins to exchanges, of which 29,500 were transferred at a loss, nearly 60%, marking the heaviest in nearly four months. Their average cost is about $74,100, current price $82,000, so still positive on paper.
The disagreement is not whether short-term holders increased, but that this number conflates three things as one: new money buying in, old coins moving, and internal exchange account adjustments, all called "movement" on-chain. So when it rises, the only certainty is: coins are moving.
Focus on three points: whether the reading rises or falls; how long-term holders move simultaneously—both rising means new money; and the proportion of loss transfers to exchanges, which is the most direct measure of selling at a loss. Do you think these 4.08 million coins are new buyers or old coins moving home? MSCI's new rule, frankly, is like a buffet host discovering a problematic dish.🍽️
Companies like Strategy have menus labeled "tech stocks," presenting themselves as tech counters. But the Bitcoin content inside far exceeds the software content, so customers think they're getting corporate profits, but what they actually get is all BTC volatility.
Why is MSCI taking action? The essence of an index is to guarantee the purity of the dishes. Tens of trillions of dollars in passive funds worldwide rely on classification to invest; if you say you're a tech stock, I'll allocate to you as a tech stock. Now the purity is broken: if counted as tech, the volatility is from crypto; if counted as crypto, you're listed on Nasdaq. When classification collapses, the credibility of the index is discounted.
If truly removed, the impact is direct: passive funds mechanically execute, once the name is deleted, they sell without hesitation. This kind of selling ignores reason and only follows the list.
But from another perspective, it might not be a bad thing. The endgame for these treasury companies might be to openly become "Bitcoin carriers"—no longer pretending to be tech stocks, but directly making Strategy-style spot ETFs. Short term they suffer passive selling pressure, long term their identity is clearer.
The subtle lesson for the crypto world: traditional finance's embrace of Bitcoin is genuine, but the approach matters—exposure is allowed, but purity must be controlled. Bitcoin can enter Wall Street's door, but it must take a seat according to Wall Street's rules.
The buffet won't remove lobster, just move it to the seafood section. The day it moves, the stock price will hurt, but the menu will be more honest.📋
#MSCI新规或将Strategy等BTC财库公司移出指数 $BTC Quarterly revenue grew by 45%, but the valuation expectations were negotiated down. This news about Anthropic clearly illustrates what the current AI market is picky about.
Reuters cited insiders saying that some existing and potential investors discussed an IPO valuation of about 1.5 trillion, lower than the previous expectation of about 2 trillion. This is still the price investors are discussing and cannot be taken as the company having completed the issuance at this valuation.
In the same report, third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, a 45% quarter-on-quarter increase, with adjusted profitability. Looking at these numbers alone, the business is not bad. The problem is that last quarter's revenue had doubled, and the price buyers were originally willing to pay included very high growth expectations. Growth is still fast, but not necessarily fast enough to support that price.
A rough calculation: $16.8 billion quarterly revenue multiplied by four is $67.2 billion. Dividing 1.5 trillion by this still yields about 22 times. This is just the annualized revenue multiple based on a single quarter's revenue, not a price-to-earnings ratio, and certainly not next year's revenue forecast. The price has been negotiated down, but buyers still need strong confidence in growth.
I think this change is valuable for the AI market: people are starting to dare to seriously negotiate prices for good companies. Supporting Claude's products does not prevent investors from thinking its stock is expensive. Separating business prospects from purchase price discussions can at least reduce the impulse of "technology is great, so any price is worth it."
#AnthropicIPO估值预期降至1.5万亿 #AnthropicIPO估值预期降至1.5万亿
A few days ago, we just praised Anthropic's profitability, and today its IPO valuation expectation has dropped to 1.5 trillion. Is this a contradiction? Not at all; this is precisely two sides of the same coin.🪙
Let's be clear: the company hasn't changed, what changed is the scale. Revenue of 16.8 billion and starting to be profitable is good news for fundamentals; but in a high interest rate environment, the market discounts the "future" even more harshly. Previously, we talked about market dream rates, now it's about price-to-earnings ratios; before, valuations were about "how great it will be in ten years," now it's about "how much real cash it will earn next year." The same Anthropic, with a higher discount rate, naturally has a lower valuation today.
Now, is 1.5 trillion expensive or not? Roughly calculating with 16.8 billion revenue, the PS ratio is still close to 90 times — this is not cheap, but "not outrageously expensive." The valuation downgrade seems more like the issuer's savvy move: lowering expectations first to leave room for the IPO's first-day price to rise, avoiding a cold roadshow. In the era of cold issuance, the crying child gets milk, and the company that lowers expectations gets the meat.
The real signal is not in the numbers but in the logic: the valuation ceiling for AI companies is shifting from "technology narrative" to "macro interest rates." No matter how good the story is, it must pass the discount rate test.
This also serves as a mirror for the crypto world. AI and crypto are essentially similar assets — betting on the long term, priced by narrative, and extremely sensitive to interest rates.
The valuation formula has always been: story × discount rate. The story hasn't changed, the discount rate has, so the valuation must be recalculated.🌡️Arbitrum’s pre-blob sequencer profit beat today’s total DAO income In the 12 months before EIP-4844, Arbitrum’s sequencer made about $21.6M in profit, per a DAO forum analysis.

Tesla will release its Q3 earnings report after the market closes on October 21, with market expectations of 486,532 deliveries. Looking back at the July earnings report, revenue increased by 26%, but operating margin dropped to 1.4%, and earnings per share of 0.33 fell short of the expected 0.50. The profit at that time largely relied on a billion-dollar paper gain from SpaceX equity, and the stock price fell 12% the day after the earnings release.
Wall Street currently expects earnings per share of $0.45, down 13% year-over-year, and revenue of $27.9 billion, a slight decline of 1% year-over-year. Delivery volume is just an entry ticket; gross margin is the core metric. If gross margin rebounds to 5%-6%, the stock price has a chance to reach the $400 range; if it falls again near 1%, the valuation logic can only rely on AI business alone to support it.
Morningstar gives a fair value estimate of $450, with Robotaxi, Optimus, and FSD subscriptions accounting for 80% of the valuation, while the vehicle business accounts for a very low proportion. The premise of this observation fails if gross margin data deviates significantly from the range. How should the automotive main business fulfill this high AI valuation?
$TSLA $BTC $ETH $SOL #VanEck stops advancing Lido staking Ethereum ETF
VanEck's move is like halting renovation halfway through. 🔨
They originally wanted to add a "staking balcony" to the Ethereum ETF—letting ETF holders earn about 3% staking yield through Lido staking. A great idea, instantly adding a room to the house, boosting ETH's appeal to a new level. So what happened? The property management never approved the construction permit.
This property management is the SEC. Staking is a gray area in regulators' eyes: if you hand over ETH to Lido for staking yield, is that an investment contract? Is it a security? No one dares to guarantee. VanEck couldn't wait for a clear answer, so they stopped construction—not because the house is bad, but because they don't want to invest in an illegal building.
In the short term, this is a minor negative. The staking version of the ETF is dead, so ETH loses a trump card compared to BTC: BTC ETFs earn money passively, but ETH ETFs without staking are like the same building missing rental income. That 3% annualized yield is not small money to institutions; it's the winning factor in product competitiveness.
It's even more bitter for Lido. They were counting on the "institutional channel" story to push prices up again, but now big players have withdrawn, and the narrative needs to be rewritten.
Traditional finance entry is never a one-way door; advancing two steps and retreating one is normal. Dropping out isn't scary; what's scary is never hearing the starting gun. To catch up with BTC's ETF scale, ETH ETFs will have to get past the staking hurdle sooner or later. ⏳

The flow of global equity funds transmits to the crypto market, showing correlation but not direct equivalence. The Korean stock market plunged sharply the previous day with concentrated foreign capital exit; although funds returned the next day, the buying scale was less than 5% of the previous day's sell-off. The index surged intraday but closed significantly lower, indicating persistent selling pressure during the rebound. Such changes in fund structure simultaneously suppress risk sentiment in the crypto market.
The Korean stock index is highly tied to semiconductor leaders, following AI expectations and global tech stock fluctuations. The volatility of these tech assets links to the Nasdaq and USD liquidity expectations, indirectly affecting crypto asset valuations. Currently, only cross-market risk appetite linkage is observable; it cannot be concluded that the adjustment has ended.
Going forward, focus on continuous foreign capital inflows and changes in US Treasury yields. This rebound is like waves hitting the shore, with undercurrents still flowing beneath the surface.
$BTC $ETH $SOL Both CPI and PPI exceeded expectations, yet the weekly chart of $BTC forces everyone to immediately take sides: is this a fake drop and shakeout within a bull market, or the first crack at the cycle top? 🔍 The same macro data can tell two completely opposite stories. Optimists say the inflation data beating expectations is just the main players using it as an excuse to clear out floating chips with a fake breakdown; pessimists say this decline marks the start of a phase correction, with a double top pattern forming. Both interpretations hold water, but the real question isn’t "should we fear the drop," but rather "where can the money go next." My judgment is: $BTC currently does not meet the conditions for a bull-to-bear transition. The reason lies not in sentiment, but in liquidity structure. Market liquidity was already drained dry in the first half of this year, and the price range where institutions entered is almost at the lowest level — meaning large funds are not exiting but completing turnover at low levels. When chips move from weak hands to strong hands, price dips look more like accumulation rather than collapse. More importantly, it’s about the opportunity cost of capital. Currently, other markets have worse profit efficiency than crypto; although U.S. Treasuries are stable, their scale simply can’t absorb such a huge amount of capital from the crypto market. In other words, money has nowhere better to go, and crypto is far from being abandoned. This is the core logic behind my belief that the overall cycle direction remains upward. So even though I admit there are short-term bearish reasons, I won’t short. Because according to the big cycle projection, $BTC’s direction is still upward. Short-term volatility and long-term trends can coexist; the difference lies in which side you stand on 🔴 Netflix: When the core engine slows down and the "advertising bet" becomes a postponed lifeline, Netflix's Q3 revenue guidance shows a significant decline, with the growth rate dropping from 17.6% to just 12%, reflecting a real slowdown in the traditional business model. Meanwhile, the company pins high hopes on the advertising sector, expected to double to $3 billion by 2026. But here's the problem: the market demands immediate results, while real advertising effectiveness will not fully appear before 2027. It's a frantic race between inflated expectations and delayed reality. 🟡 Al$1.3 billion in trading volume, what does it really indicate?
$ZEC's 24-hour trading volume is about $1.36 billion, so there are definitely people trading, but this number alone cannot be directly interpreted as an equivalent scale of net capital inflow.
Every trade has both a buyer and a seller, and the same funds can be traded repeatedly.
So what I want to see more is, after so many trades, where does the price actually go? If trading remains active but the price fails to rise, it at least indicates that the willingness to sell is not low.
The buzz is worth paying attention to, but the direction still needs to be answered by the price. Judging solely by trading volume to claim a large amount of new funds have stayed is not enough evidence.
$SLX's unit price is only a few cents, which easily makes people think there is huge room for growth.
But cheap per token does not mean the entire project is cheap; total supply and market cap must be considered together. Being able to buy many tokens only changes the holding quantity and does not automatically increase yield.
I would first study whether demand can grow before discussing if the price has room for imagination.
$NEAR has risen about 75% in the past month, which I think raises the bar for subsequent positive news.
The existing increase may already include some expectations. What’s worth asking next is whether new developments exceed those expectations, rather than just adding another piece of good news.
$DOGE is close to 0.08, a memorable number, but it is not a level the market has agreed to hold.
Whole number levels can be observed, but support requires actual trading proof. Simply because the price looks familiar and treating it as reliable support can lead to premature conclusions.The monitor on the operating table just reported a number: 486,532 heartbeats, stronger than expected but 2.1% fewer beats year-over-year—this is not resuscitation, this is compensation.
Tesla's Q3 earnings report in front of us is like a heart barely maintaining its ejection fraction. On the surface, delivery volume exceeding expectations is like a temporary rise in blood pressure, but every cardiac surgeon knows: blood pressure returning doesn’t mean the myocardium isn’t damaged. What truly determines prognosis is the gross margin of the automotive business—that is the heart’s ejection fraction, how much effective blood is pumped out with each contraction. If the gross margin continues to be eroded by price wars and subsidies, no matter how impressive the delivery numbers are, it’s just compensatory tachycardia that will eventually lead to decompensation.
Cash flow is the coronary perfusion of this heart. Without perfusion, myocardial cells become hypoxic; technology reserves, capacity expansion, and R&D investment all become ischemic necrotic tissue. Can the Q3 delivery data that exceeded expectations translate into actual improvements in gross margin and free cash flow? This is the most critical coronary angiogram in the preoperative assessment.
As for Robotaxi and Optimus, those are experimental heart transplants and artificial hearts. Patient families always like to ask about these future therapies, but the surgeon’s duty is to stabilize the current hemodynamics first. Long-term options cannot be used as a remedial bypass for current gross margin.
The linkage with $xAAPL is essentially a cross-blood-type transfusion. The US stock market itself is the donor heart, the token market is the recipient circulation, and the immune rejection reaction between the two is often amplified by emotions—the donor is still preparing for surgery, while the recipient side has already developed atrial fibrillation. The price plunge is just a symptom; emotional treatment is useless. What must be found is the root cause of the market’s illness: is it insufficient liquidity perfusion, valuation myocardial hypertrophy, or narrative valve stenosis?
After the market closes on October 21, it will be the moment this surgery opens the chest cavity. Delivery volume is the preoperative vital sign, gross margin is the intraoperative observation, humanoid robot progress is the intraoperative frozen pathology, and cash flow direction is the perfusion flow of extracorporeal circulation. Any link failing will cause a crisis in the recovery room requiring emergency thoracotomy.
I don’t give preoperative-style investment advice. I only do one thing—wait for the curve on the monitor to tell me whether this heart is recovering or heading toward end-stage heart failure. #teslaq3profitandmarginsOrder Book Strength Ranking

Do not linearly extrapolate 10,000-level slippage to 100,000-level; read levels according to actual order sizes.The reading of the pressure gradient just exploded—the producer price index year-on-year for September surged to 6.3%, a full hectopascal higher than the forecast; month-on-month it was 1.3%, as the warm and humid air mass directly pierced through the tropopause on the cloud map. The core gauge also simultaneously exceeded the limit, with consumer prices rising to 3.7%. Two heat waves stacked together should have triggered a city-wide high-temperature red alert.
But on October 16, our chief forecaster Walsh stood in front of the radar screen and said only one sentence: no preset pressure adjustment actions. Dali and Goolsby followed closely, with the typical tone of "temporarily postponing the warning issuance." So the market’s supercomputer immediately began recalculating probabilities—the revised forecast for an October rate hike collapsed from over 50% to about 15%, and the remaining pressure adjustment windows for the year were all pushed back to "pending observation."
This is the most critical part: meteorological data is all trending hot, but decision-makers refuse to write the heat wave as a frontal passage. Wind shear has not formed, cumulonimbus clouds hover in the troposphere without falling, radar echoes are visible but do not reach the ground. Capital feels most uncomfortable in this "upper-level trough lag" weather—neither daring to open the umbrella nor to close the net.
Look again at that cross-market target, which is highly coupled with the atmospheric circulation of the US stock market. Interest rate expectations are the subtropical high pressure above it: if the high pressure continues to extend westward, valuations are suppressed, air flows descend, and the target can only crawl close to the ground; once the high pressure retreats eastward and the probability of rate hikes continues to be revised downward, the warm ridge immediately moves north, and the target gains conditions for short-term explosive convection. But remember, all current models have large divergences, and the forecast confidence intervals are as wide as the 72-hour typhoon track error circle.
What really deserves attention is the pressure field itself, not just single-point readings. The greater the temperature difference at both ends, the more intense the front—the inflation data is the surface heat source, the Fed’s stance is the upper-level cold vortex; if the two do not converge, it means no precipitation; but once the cold vortex suddenly presses south one day, convection will release with intensity beyond expectations. At that time, the target’s volatility will jump from level three directly to level ten, like gusts at coastal stations.
I just refreshed the latest detection data here: the heat wave is still accumulating, thunderstorms have not yet ignited, and the convergence of all indicators is declining. #USCPIAndPPITopForecasts The probability of Netflix Q3 GAAP EPS exceeding $0.84 is low, leaning towards a No vote.
$0.84 was the old consensus from July; the current market consensus is about $0.823, and the company guidance is only $0.82. To get a Yes, it would need to beat consensus by about 2%, which is unrealistic for a company whose revenue growth has already slowed to 11.7%.
The core issue is the lack of flexibility on the revenue side. Q3 revenue guidance is only up 11.7% year-over-year, the slowest in nearly three years. Viewing time growth stalled in the first half of the year, with no breakout hits driving growth; profits can only come from cost-cutting, which clearly sets a ceiling.
Layoff benefits won’t be realized in Q3. The announcement of 1,000 layoffs was only made on October 14, and severance costs will drag on current period expenses; real savings will come in Q4. Management stated they will "complete the full-year forecast as planned," basically ruling out the possibility of raising guidance.
Historical patterns also don’t support a jump. Netflix’s beat is usually only about one cent (Q2 guidance was $0.79, actual $0.80). Projecting Q3 actual EPS will most likely fall between $0.82 and $0.835, unless advertising suddenly surges or exchange rates reverse, it’s hard to fill the two-cent gap.
Conclusion: Vote No, with about 70% confidence. $0.84 corresponds to optimistic expectations from three months ago, not the current business reality. But note, even if EPS misses the mark, as long as advertising data looks good, the stock price could still rebound, though I think this is a low-probability event.
#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 $BTC early Saturday morning, four coins in three colors
$BTC 82169, the 82000 level is interesting 📈
The midweek drop from 83600 was expected to test 80000, but it was caught at 81000. Weekend volume shrank, yet the price stayed stable above 82000. ETF funds are flowing out, but spot orders are placed below, two forces locked at this price level.
$ENA 0.1963, took a big hit the day before yesterday but recovered a bit today 🌬️ That day a bearish candle dropped over 5 points, from 0.21 straight down to 0.197. It operates as on-chain USD interest-bearing, and as US Treasury yields rise, its interest advantage thins. The recent small rebound looks more like a technical correction after overselling.
$ASTER is the strongest performer among the four today 🚀
Jumped from 0.69 to 0.706 in one go. Weekend liquidity is thin, a few buy orders can push it up over 2 points. Decentralized contract DEX volume rises with market volatility, and shorts covering these days also helped. This kind of bounce comes fast and goes fast.
$HYPE 80.88, the most stubborn one 📊
Other coins jump around, but it moves sideways between 80 and 81. It is itself an on-chain exchange; the longer the market oscillates, the steadier its fees, with 97% of profits used for buybacks to support the price. No surprises, no shocks.

#US CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, can it last within the year The most vulnerable point has never been the price, but the people who rush to chase highs as soon as emotions warm up 🫧 After BTC stands above 80000, do you really dare to chase? I've been watching the cross-market line these days. Both CPI and PPI exceeded expectations, risk assets took a hit first, then climbed back. BTC held 80000, ETH slowly recovered after liquidations, while ZEC strengthened independently relying on its own halving story. On the surface, it looks like a rebound, but underneath it's a tug of war in crowd psychology: fear of missing out, yet afraid of being swept again. First, look at the funds. In the past 30 days, BTC spot ETFs had a net inflow of about 2.09 billion USD, which is not bad, indicating allocation funds haven't turned away. But ETH ETFs are still seeing continuous outflows, which is critical. Both are mainstream assets, one is being steadily supported, the other is still being reduced, indicating the market is not trading broad gains but selective picks. Money prefers to stay where certainty is higher, rather than spreading across the entire sector. The sentiment index has reached 63, sliding from fear to greed. This position is where people are most likely to let their guard down. The wounds left by leveraged liquidations haven't fully healed, many people's positions on paper are more fragile than their mindset. Once the price consolidates too long, impatience will replace patience, and chasing highs and cutting losses may happen in the same week. Cross-market linkage is also sending signals. The US stock CPI and PPI exceeded expectations, which should have suppressed risk appetite, but BTC did not crash along, indicating that part of the crypto buying is independent, notJust after 3 a.m., I glanced at $INJ and the unrealized profit number popped up. Honestly, my hands were a bit shaky at that moment. Short position, 50x leverage, opened at 9.08, now the mark price is 8.687, unrealized profit +216.40%. I originally expected to take profits after a few dozen points, but 50x leverage literally turned the actual price drop into more than double the gains. Incredible, this time I made a big profit.
From 9.08 to 8.687, the underlying price only dropped about 4.33%. If it bounces up just 4.5%, my profit is gone, and a little more upward movement would turn it into a loss. The 8.687 level is showing short-term support; chasing shorts here is very poor value, with limited downside space and a single upward spike could trigger liquidation.
The plan is clear: withdraw the principal to secure profits, set a stop loss for the base position at the 9.08 entry price to break even, and let the rest float freely. If you haven't entered, don't envy; chasing here is not about making profits but catching a falling knife. High leverage unrealized profits are fragile and come and go fast. Today I earned enough and will stop; the money secured is truly mine. Contract trading carries very high risk, and high leverage easily leads to liquidation; this is not investment advice. If you missed this, wait for the next opportunity. $BTC $ETH #渣打开放BTC与ETH交易，银行加密业务扩展 Recently, I saw a set of position data from a large trader known as "爆姐" and found it quite interesting. The same account was shorting BTC and ETH while going long on JTO at the same time. So what happened? Both short positions made profits, but the single long position on JTO wiped out all the previous gains and even caused a significant loss. 😂 Honestly, this kind of situation is not uncommon in the futures market. 📊 Let's first look at the three positions. 🔴 ETH: 10x leverage short Open price $2497.68, mark price $2453.97. Floating profit 9624.59 USDT, return +17.49%. 🔴 BTC: 10x leverage short Open price $82708.7, mark price $82225.9. Floating profit 7879.07 USDT, return +5.83%. 🟢 JTO: 5x leverage long Holding 384,658 JTO. Floating loss 33950.20 USDT, return -78.71%. The combined floating loss of the three positions is about 16446.54 USDT. In other words, the two short positions on BTC and ETH earned about $17,500 together, but it couldn't cover the $34,000 loss from the single JTO long position. 💰 Why did the trader lose money despite being right on two directions? Here is a particularly worthy issue to study: portfolio risk exposure. Many traders believe that going long and short on different coins simultaneously diversifies risk. But in reality, price movements of different coins are not completely synchronized. Especially some altcoinsToday's Review｜How I Turned "Being Right Three Times" into "All Losses"
Trump1 took a small profit and ran, then surged wildly. The ambush on Chinese Nervous Frog was flat with no movement, sold it and it took off minutes later. Made some profit and cut it, Trading Cat rose tenfold, I wanted to do a second phase but got trapped, then recklessly opened dozens of orders trying to make it back.
Reasons:
1. No holding logic, wanted to cash out at every small rise
When entering, I only thought "this narrative can rise," never considered how high is right or how long to hold. Without a target, selling relies on emotion, so I always sold at the starting point.
2. No failure conditions written, doubted myself during consolidation
Nervous Frog was flat for a long time, I started thinking "is no one coming?" But consolidation doesn’t mean the narrative failed, I didn’t set in advance "what situation counts as being wrong," so I only used "no movement" as an excuse. When the market quieted, confidence collapsed first.
3. Splitting the same narrative into multiple trades, I was gambling not judging
The same narrative produces several trades, I didn’t judge which was the leader, just picked one by feeling. Chose wrong and didn’t stop loss timely, dragged it to cutting losses. In this situation, picking right is luck, picking wrong is normal.
4. Mistaking "missed profits" for "lost money"
This is the most fatal. Watching Trading Cat rise tenfold, I was unwilling to accept it, chased in at the peak emotion point, then opened dozens of orders recklessly to make up. Missing out is just less profit, the compensation mentality is the real loss.
Countermeasures:
1. Before entering, write down holding reasons, targets, and failure conditions
2. For ambush orders, decide how long you’re willing to wait first, consolidation is not a reason to sell
3. For splitting trades of the same narrative, confirm the leader before entering#Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus Ansem views this round of pullback as a "deleveraging" rather than a trend reversal. 🧹 CoinGlass data: As of October 15, about $920 million liquidated in 24 hours, longs about $800 million; $BTC dipped to 80230 then pulled back to 82000. 📊
But the trigger is often overlooked: CPI is hotter than expected, US Treasury yields reached 5.31%, crude oil surpassed 105, and rate hike expectations are being repriced. 🌡️ Therefore, deleveraging only eases crowding; the macro headwinds remain. Many liquidations do not necessarily mean positions are lightened; open interest still needs confirmation. 🔍
Short term may continue to range between 80000–87500: breaking above 87500 makes Ansem's logic more credible; if yields continue rising and 80000 fails to hold, deleveraging is not complete. ⚖️ The above is a personal opinion record and does not constitute any investment advice. #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 🚨 Justin Sun throws cold water: Quantum computers haven't arrived yet, but Bitcoin is already stuck on upgrades
Many fear quantum computing will break $BTC, but Justin Sun points the blade elsewhere: When that day comes, can Bitcoin complete a full network upgrade within two years? He says, almost impossible. Those who joined the community in 2012 know how slow the progress is.
📊 History has already played out:
▪️ SegWit: Argued for two years, and in the end, it wasn't an upgrade completion but a fork — $BCH was born.
▪️ Taproot: Relatively smooth, but still took 3 years.
▪️ Consensus is not just about changing code; it requires miners, nodes, exchanges, and users all to agree.
🔍 What's the key?
The time quantum cracking will take is unknown, but "how slow Bitcoin upgrades" doesn't need quantum computers to prove; the past decade has repeatedly shown it. Most people overestimate urgent mobilization and underestimate governance friction.
💡 My judgment:
This doesn't mean BTC is in danger tomorrow, but its defense upgrades may not keep pace with external variables. Quantum is a distant worry; consensus delays are a near concern.
📌 The real question: If the threat countdown starts, will BTC have time to change its locks?
Do you think this is alarmist or a real hidden danger?
#BTC #BCH #QuantumComputing #Cryptocurrency Currently, near the US stock market close at midnight, the prices of $BZ and $CL crude oil continue to rise
Crypto and US stocks are both under pressure
On the US stock side, Nasdaq fell 1.5%, S&P 500 fell 0.66%
Tech stocks were hit the hardest, SK Hynix, Intel, Arm fell over 5%, AMD and Micron fell over 4%
$BTC dropped below 81,000, ETH also fell below 2,400, with a slight rebound by the time of posting
CPI and PPI have just consecutively exceeded expectations, oil prices surged again, pushing inflation expectations higher
The 10-year US Treasury yield remains above 5.1%, when oil prices and yields rise together, stocks and crypto both face liquidity outflows
BTC has defended 80,000 several times in the past month, but this time with rising oil prices and persistently high US Treasury yields, the pressure at the 80,000 level is greater than before
The buy orders at 78,000 below are the last line of defense‼️‼️
#CrudeOilContinuesToRiseBTCUnderPressure #NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins Don't be fooled by the recovery: this rebound, the bulls haven't entered the market
It's evening now, and the market is much calmer than this morning. After the PPI spike last night, the day was all about recovery, but don't be fooled by this rebound; the structure hasn't been repaired.
Starting with $BTC, current price 82240, last night’s low was 79725. The price has recovered, but open interest dropped from 2.58 billion to 2.45 billion, the long-short ratio fell from 1.88 to 1.63, and the funding rate is hovering around zero, with no one willing to pay. What does this mean? Shorts are covering to push the price up, not new longs entering. There's heavy resistance between 83000 and 84000; don't chase without volume.
$ETH is stronger than BTC, current price 2457, up 3.57%. The long-short ratio dropped from 2.73 to 1.95, and a lot of leverage has been cleared, which is good. The 4-hour MACD shows a golden cross below zero, indicating short-term rebound momentum, but there are many trapped positions above 2500, so chasing longs has low cost-effectiveness.
$SOL still needs close attention, current price 106.76, low was 100.82, the 100 level held. But the long-short ratio at 2.46 is still high, funding rate fluctuates between positive and negative, bulls remain crowded. There's resistance near 110 on the rebound, and it's hard to break through without volume.
Summary: This is a recovery, not a reversal. BTC at 80000, ETH at 2400, and SOL at 100 are the bottom lines. Expect consolidation before these break; if broken, it signals a new round of decline. I have no positions, waiting for clearer signals.
#美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？
#BTC现货ETF大额流入后转负 #美国CPI与PPI双超预期，年内能否再加息？ US stocks opened for an hour, coins rebounded, but position data hides signals
2.45 billion, this open interest value is worth noting📌. After the US stock market opened, several major mainstream coins quickly recovered their losses, and the market looked to be warming up. However, derivative positions declined simultaneously, and the long-short ratio collectively dropped.
This indicates that the current rise is driven by short covering, not new funds entering from outside. US tech stocks stabilized, giving the crypto market a brief breather, which is a corrective rebound, not a trend reversal.
The resistance levels above are very clear: 83000-84000, 2500, 110—these thresholds hold a lot of trapped positions. Before breaking through, this rebound is more suitable for reducing positions, not for chasing higher or adding positions.
You can wait for the US stock market close tomorrow to observe ETF capital flows before making a judgment.
If volume expands and stabilizes above the mentioned resistance zones, the observation logic in this article will become invalid. What do you all think about this short-term rebound?
$SOL $BTC $ETH TSMC's Q3 net profit smashed records hitting an all-time high, but the real signal to watch isn't in the US stock market—it's in the tentative buying quietly warming up in the crypto market. $BTC has returned near 82200, $ETH has reclaimed 2440, sentiment remains neutral, yet capital is beginning to cautiously test positions—this kind of "exponential positive news + moderate crypto follow-up" mismatch is often overinterpreted as weakness. What I pay more attention to is the independent rhythm of the $NEAR and $SUI blockchains. $NEAR's rebound today is significant, approaching the 5.2-5.3 range. The short-term logic is clear: if it holds above 5.3, the next target is 5.5-5.6; if it breaks below 5.0, it will likely return to consolidation. $SUI is rising in sync to around 1.03, with 1.00 support still effective; if volume breaks above 1.05, upward space could open; otherwise, it will oscillate between 1.00-1.05. The key insight is: this rebound is not a full return of risk appetite but a directional probe by capital toward high Beta blockchains after mainstream coins stabilize. TSMC's profit record strengthens the AI and computing power narrative, and $NEAR and $SUI happen to be on the extension of this narrative. The market generally underestimates that when macro tailwinds cannot directly transmit to crypto, capital chooses "narrative-adjacent assets" as the first landing point. The confirmation signal is simple: if $NEAR holds above 5.3 and $SUI breaks 1.05 with volume, rotation is confirmed; otherwise, if both give back gains, it indicates this is just an emotional repair, not a trend start. Personally $XAU vs $XAG : Are Bears Walking Into a Trap?
Both gold and silver remain heavily shorted, but fresh buying suggests the pressure may be shifting
My view: Silver looks more interesting for a potential short squeeze. Profitable shorts may start closing positions if buyers keep pushing.
Gold could follow
The biggest risk for bears isn't the current buying. It's what happens if short sellers start taking profits at the same time.
Still, if buying fades, both markets could resume their declineMeta's AI investment also includes a significant account that has not yet been fully reflected in the current expenses, which is truly concerning.
Reviewing the Q2 10-Q, the company's construction in progress reached about $80.3 billion, mainly involving data centers, servers, and network infrastructure. These will gradually convert into usable assets, which will then bear corresponding depreciation and operating costs. The profits reported in the financial statements and the money already spent in the accounts do not occur at the same time.
This does not mean that more construction is inherently riskier. Meta has a mature advertising business, and if the new computing power makes recommendations more accurate and ads more likely to drive purchases, the initial investment could very well pay off. What I dislike is that discussions only count future incremental revenue but treat the subsequent ongoing costs as if they do not exist.
To test AI returns going forward, the company should be allowed to provide a timeline and should be required to clarify whether the business earnings after the new facilities come online can grow faster than the cost increases. The hype on the day the model was released cannot answer this question.
My stance is cautious but not dismissive of the investment. What truly justifies a high valuation is the ability of the new equipment to continuously generate returns. If revenue growth depends on increasingly heavy capital investment to sustain, shareholders should recalculate the payback period. Especially when many projects are still under construction, a good profit in the current quarter does not automatically mean the toughest cost challenges are over.

#KR200 Korean Stocks Rebound — Has Foreign Selling Pressure Eased?
Don’t mistake a sharp rebound for a confirmed recovery.
After the KOSPI’s heavy sell-off, the latest bounce may reflect short covering and bargain hunting rather than a genuine return of foreign capital. Until foreign selling pressure eases and semiconductor stocks show sustained strength, caution remains necessary.
#DailyOrbit #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations! BTC slightly dipped at noon, 82000 tug-of-war 🤔
Last night PPI was released, BTC first dropped then pulled back, now grinding around 82000. CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, inflation hasn't eased, the Fed remains tough, but the futures market predicts an 83% chance of no rate hike this month, with possibly one more hike later this year.
No rate hike this month means a temporary relief for the crypto space. Note, it's temporary. Slightly less pressure doesn't mean the alarm is off. The real factor deciding whether 80k holds is still the capital: ETFs haven't reversed, institutions remain closed; whales are slowly accumulating spot, on-chain selling pressure is easing. One side is withdrawing, the other buying, a clear divergence.
So 82000 is not the end, it's a tug-of-war. Some defend 80k, but it's tough. Next, watch if ETFs can flow back in and if BTC can stabilize above 83000. Without these two signals, the rebound will lack momentum.
Brothers, what do you think about the slight dip at noon? With no rate hike this month, can BTC rebound? Can 80k still hold? Let's discuss in the comments 👇

ETFs continue to bleed, BlackRock becomes a "hardest hit area"
In the past two weeks, Ethereum spot ETFs have seen a cumulative net outflow of over $885 million, with almost continuous outflows since September 29. On October 15 alone, the net outflow was $60.22 million, of which BlackRock's ETHA accounted for $44.38 million, nearly three-quarters. BlackRock saw about $500 million outflow over five days, while Grayscale's ETHE had a concurrent outflow of $101 million.
Why is ETH more "unpopular" than BTC? The core lies in the ambiguity of the narrative anchor. Bitcoin has the consensus label of "digital gold," while Ethereum's valuation logic is pulled by three variables simultaneously: competition among smart contracts, value dilution of the main chain by L2 solutions, and fluctuations in staking yields. In times of macro uncertainty, institutions prioritize cutting ETH, which is logically consistent.Stop treating whale positions as directional signals; I almost fell into this trap too. Holding both long and short positions, what exactly is being traded? When I saw that on-chain data, my first reaction was also the impulse to copy the trade. 243.96 BTC shorts were liquidated, nominally 20,039,500 U, but the same account held ETH longs and HYPE shorts, three leveraged positions combined into a hedging structure. The real interesting point isn’t whether they are bearish or bullish, but that they are betting on relative strength across markets. First, look at the ledger. BTC shorts at 40x leverage, unrealized profit 470,700 U, funding fees actually earned 68,400; ETH longs at 25x leverage, unrealized loss 324,300 U, funding fees paid 21,200; HYPE shorts at 5x leverage, unrealized loss directly 4,179,800 U, funding fees earned 1,047,000. Meanwhile, BTC only rose 1.49%. What does this indicate? The same directional judgment, applied to different assets, can result in profit and loss differing by an order of magnitude. I later realized one layer: they are profiting from basis and funding fees, not price movements. BTC shorts earn funding fees, meaning longs are paying; HYPE shorts are losing so much but still held, either due to poor liquidity preventing exit or betting on narrative decline. ETH longs losing money seem to hedge the beta exposure of BTC shorts. These three legs tied together essentially trade BTC relative to ETH strength and the sustainability of HYPE’s independent market. CrossThe recent market in the crypto space has become increasingly difficult to predict day by day. Originally, everyone was hoping that after the inflation data was released, the market might see a rebound. However, the CPI just exceeded expectations, and the PPI also came in hotter than expected. Now the question arises: Is US inflation starting to rise again? Will the Federal Reserve continue to raise interest rates this year? 🤔 📊 Let's first look at the two sets of data mentioned. 🔴 US September CPI year-over-year: 3.7%, higher than the market expectation of 3.6%, indicating that the price pressure consumers face is still worth attention. 🔴 US September PPI year-over-year: 6.3%, the market originally expected 5.3%, actual data exceeded expectations by 1 percentage point. Additionally, PPI month-over-month rose by 1.3%, also higher than the expected 0.5%. If these data are officially confirmed, it means that price pressure on the production side is also stronger than the market anticipated. 💰 Why is this important for BTC and ETH? The logic is actually not complicated. CPI reflects changes in consumer prices, while PPI reflects changes in producer prices. If both sets of data remain high, the market may believe that the process of inflation easing is not going smoothly. Subsequently, a series of reactions may occur: Increased inflation pressure → Rising expectations of interest rate hikes → US Treasury yields may rise → Risk assets like BTC and ETH come under pressure. However, this is just a possible macro transmission path and does not mean that cryptocurrency prices will necessarily move in this direction. 📉 There is another detail worth noting. Community analysis mentioned, regarding the related Federal Reserve#SpaceXQ3Earnings Pressure on the stock price comes from capital sources: the company is negotiating a financing package of about 40 billion USD to buy Nvidia chips (about 10 billion bank loans + 30 billion investment bonds), and starting from October 9, the first batch of about 328 million shares will be unlocked; after the Q3 report, there will be an even larger batch.
Fundamentals are accelerating, the circulating shares are increasing, so now is not the time to chase high prices, only buy when the price adjusts. #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus
