Before tonight's CPI, the easiest thing to misjudge is not the direction, but the "quietness." Do you also feel that no volatility means no risk? When I watch the BTC and ETH markets, my first impression is not "falling," but "contracting." Prices are rubbing back and forth in a narrow range, but the sentiment is like water pressed down, actually very tense underneath. Many people see Williams' relatively mild statements and think the policy is about to ease, but the market is not really reassured—it worries about sticky inflation and whether there will be tougher wording later. The inconsistent statements among officials are like smoke screens, not consensus, just each taking their own stance. At times like this, what is truly being traded is often not the data itself, but "whether the data will break the current low volatility." CPI will be released tonight; if it falls within expectations, BTC and ETH may first give a directional choice: BTC resistance near 84000, support near 82000; ETH resistance around 2540, support around 2500. Before the range breaks, sentiment leans cautious, and altcoins are more likely to lose attention because risk appetite hasn't truly returned. The more bullish path is: data not hot, combined with mild statements, the market will push back worries of "one more rate hike," BTC and ETH will first recover, and sentiment will slowly spill over to altcoins. The potential risk is: as long as inflation expectations don't drop, any rebound may be seen as a window to reduce positions, especially chasing gains before data, which is prone to being swept back and forth. I now prefer to understand this phase as sentiment compression rather than trend end. Waiting for the data to land, watchingCPI is out at 3.7%, 0.1 points higher than expected. The core month-on-month is 0.3%, which is the critical number — the market was previously betting on 0.2%.
As soon as the data dropped, the October rate hike bets on Polymarket jumped directly from 16% at the start of the month to 47%. BTC slipped back from above 84,000, now hovering around 82,700, down about 0.6% in 24 hours.
But the market is conflicted. Last night, ETFs still had a net inflow of 176 million, with FBTC alone taking in 103 million. On-chain is even more interesting: a whale just bought 1,162 BTC through Wintermute, worth 96.77 million dollars. On one hand, macro is pushing prices down; on the other, big money is buying underneath. So, is this bearish or bullish?
Coinbase premium index has dropped to its lowest since July, with the spread briefly turning negative. Institutions in the US are indeed pulling back, but addresses holding 100 to 1,000 BTC hit a record high of 20,384. Retail and whales are buying, institutions are selling — a typical turnover phase.
ETH is quieter, sticking around 2,500, and ETFs have ended a ten-day outflow streak.
To be honest, CPI beating expectations is a short-term negative, but with rate hike bets jumping to 47%, the worst is mostly priced in. There are long liquidations stacked below 79,600 and shorts waiting above 87,500. The current volatility is digesting these two zones. Don’t rush to chase; wait for a clear direction to emerge first.
$BTC $LINK
LINK is moderately recovering; why is there no valuation guarantee for the product's necessity?
Today's midday spot 24-hour observation window: range 12.725—13.193 USDT, change +0.70%, trading volume approximately 3.93 million USDT.
There must be costs and mechanisms between data service calls, charges, and token rights. Infrastructure necessity does not imply that any valuation is reasonable; price recovery alone cannot independently prove an increase in genuine paid demand, and value capture cannot be omitted.
If income evidence lacks follow-up and 12.725 is breached, business support decreases; if clear transmission improvement occurs and 13.193 is regained and stabilized, then increase demand sustainability.Another publicly listed company is investing real money: spending about $280 million in one go to buy 3,311 bitcoins, with an average price just over $84,000 each.
The strategy of these "Bitcoin treasury" companies is straightforward: issue stocks or bonds to raise money, then convert the funds into crypto; when the coin price rises, the company's net assets and stock price increase accordingly, enabling them to raise even more money to buy more coins. As long as the trend is upward, this is a self-reinforcing machine. The first company to successfully follow this path set the template, and the number of followers has only grown in recent years.
But the reverse is also true: once prices turn down, borrowed money, added leverage, and dividends promised to shareholders all become burdens. The combined holdings of companies doing the same thing in the market are no small amount, and no one can say for sure if they can withstand the next deep correction.
So when I see this kind of news, I always think one step further—are they really allocating hard assets for shareholders, or just packaging a highly volatile position as a "strategic reserve"?
More and more listed companies are borrowing money to hoard crypto. Do you think this is smart asset allocation or layers of risk piling up? Let's discuss in the comments.
$BTC$BTC
Let's first look at some key data:
US CPI year-over-year is 3.7%, expected 3.6%, previous 3.4%.
CPI month-over-month is 0.6%, in line with expectations.
Core CPI month-over-month is 0.3%, higher than the expected 0.2%.
Core CPI year-over-year is 2.6%, higher than the expected 2.5%.
What does this data indicate?
Inflationary pressure still exists, especially core inflation is not as optimistic as the market expected.
This means the Federal Reserve's future easing space may be limited, and the market needs to reassess rate cut expectations.
For BTC, US stocks, and other risk assets, this is naturally not good news.
Now looking at US stocks.
Tonight, the Nasdaq opened down 0.6%, the S&P 500 opened down 0.41%.
Finally, back to BTC.
BTC has now fallen back to around 82.6K, ETH dropped to around 2470, and SOL also returned to around 105.
This precisely shows that although yesterday's V-shaped rebound proved there was buying near 81K, it is still insufficient to change the structure of continuously lower daily highs.
Next, my trading thoughts:
① BTC 83K–84K: Short-term resistance area; only by stabilizing above this can there be a chance to challenge 85K.
② BTC 81K–82K: Key support area; focus on whether effective support can appear again.
③ If 81K is broken: continue to watch around 80K below, or even deeper pullback risks.
My personal bias: cautious short-term bearish, but do not chase shorts near support.#微软发布新一代AI芯片，股价触及年内高点 Microsoft officially launches the self-developed Maia 300 AI chip, with the news driving the stock price to a new annual high. This chip focuses on AI inference scenarios, supporting long context and AI agent tasks. Official data shows that under the same power consumption, token output is about 40% higher compared to mainstream GPUs. Mass deployment at the gigawatt scale is planned to start in 2027.
Key distinction: Maia 300 is positioned as an inference chip, not a large model training chip, and will not replace training cards in the short term. Therefore, the impact on NVIDIA is more of a long-term expectation, and short-term long-term training card orders are basically unaffected. The market is giving Microsoft a premium, mainly optimistic about the integrated closed loop of "large models + cloud services + self-developed computing power," opening up profitability space for AI business.
There is a differentiated trend within the sector: positive for Microsoft itself; however, the "computing power autonomy" narrative will suppress third-party GPU targets. Meanwhile, Maia 300 uses HBM4, creating new demand for HBM, which is also the source of the long-short game in the storage sector.
Transmission to crypto: The Nasdaq tech sentiment is warming up, providing short-term emotional support for high-beta assets like BTC, ETH, etc., but this is a linkage effect and it is difficult to develop into an independent major trend.
Follow-up focus: Maia 300 mass production yield, official deployment schedule, and subsequent Azure revenue and gross margin guidance. If the landing progress is below expectations, it is easy to see a realization of positive news followed by a pullback. $BTC $ETH $ZEC 📊 CPI REACTION | Data as of 20:30 tonight
September inflation came in hotter than expected across the board. Headline CPI hit 3.7% YoY vs. 3.6% forecast, while core CPI reached 2.6% vs. 2.5% expected. Core MoM also remained firm at 0.3%, missing expectations for a slowdown to 0.2%.
The inflation pass-through is becoming harder to ignore. Energy prices surged 20.4% YoY, with gasoline jumping 9.1% MoM, raising concerns that persistent energy costs could keep broader inflation.
#DailyOrbit Many investors believe token burning automatically pushes prices higher, but the numbers behind $SUI tell a different story. 👀 Let’s look at the bigger picture. 🪙 1. The Burn Rate Is Relatively Small If $SUI burns approximately 1,000–2,500 tokens per day, the annual reduction would be around 365,000–912,500 tokens. Against a maximum supply of 10 billion tokens, that represents just 0.0037%–0.0091% annually. Even at a hypothetical price of $1.80, the upper-end annual burn would represent roughlThe ETH position laid out tonight secured 7k profit, relying on an early strategic assessment of the situation.
Previously, the market widely bet on inflation easing, with ETH oscillating at high levels for some time. However, the rebound in oil prices, persistent service sector inflation, combined with the early strengthening of the US dollar and US Treasury yields, had already signaled bearish factors. The short position profited from this expectation gap.
After CPI exceeded expectations, the probability of a Fed rate hike quickly surged, and liquidity tightening expectations directly suppressed the highly elastic ETH, leading to concentrated profit-taking by bulls and a corresponding market drop.
Currently, short-term bears dominate; after a technical breakdown, attention should be paid to support levels below. In the medium term, wait for the Fed's end-of-month decision; after bearish factors are fully priced in, a recovery may occur.
Those who observe the trend understand it; those who control the trend win. Not blindly following market sentiment, but anticipating the rhythm and positioning precisely, is the way to secure profits amid volatility. $ETH $SOL On this chain, there is a category of money that does not speculate on coins; it represents real-world assets brought on-chain to conduct business.
According to the data site's classification, this category currently totals $585 million, spread across 12 projects. The two largest ones are: one in reinsurance with $293 million, and one in credit with $249 million. Together, these two account for 92% of this category.
The rest are smaller players, with the next largest at $33.6 million, followed by several in the millions or even hundreds of thousands. The scale of this category is basically supported by the top two.
Behind these assets are real-world cash flows—insurance payouts and loan interest—moved on-chain for faster settlement and transparent accounting. They rely on real cash flow income and are not concerned with coin price fluctuations.
On-chain lending and market-making categories each have scales in the two to three billion dollar range, while this category remains in the single-digit hundreds of millions. Compared to SOL's $63.8 billion market cap, it is less than one percent.
A 1% move in SOL's market cap equals $638 million, which is more than this entire category. Therefore, the inflows and outflows of this category currently do not affect the coin price; price changes remain the coin's own business.
However, its direction is worth watching. The rapid inflow of this money indicates that institutions are willing to place real assets on this chain for settlement, rather than just trading on it.Tonight I continue to be bearish; the selling pressure on BTC and ETH hasn't stopped yet.
My view:
Short-term bearish bias, wait for the rebound to be resisted, do not chase shorts at low levels.
Currently, BTC and ETH spot markets are continuously net selling, and the rebound lacks buying support, so I am holding my short positions.
—— BTC: Contract market warming up, spot market dragging behind ——
Last 1 hour
Contract: net inflow of $20.88 million
Spot: net outflow of $53.98 million
Last 4 hours
Contract: net outflow of $192 million
Spot: net outflow of $95.45 million
Short-term contract buying has appeared, but spot is still biased towards selling. I will first observe if this rebound can hold against subsequent selling pressure.
—— ETH: Both markets are net selling ——
Last 1 hour
Contract: net outflow of $223 million
Spot: net outflow of $47.29 million
Last 4 hours
Contract: net outflow of $598 million
Spot: net outflow of $141 million
ETH is the one I am more cautious about in the short term. Both contract and spot are weak simultaneously; whether the rebound can hold depends on buying improvement.
—— SOL: There is support, shorting requires picking the right position ——
Last 24 hours spot net inflow of $28.34 million, capital performance is better than BTC and ETH.
So tonight, the bearish focus is on BTC and ETH, while continuing to observe if SOL's support can continue.
My plan:
Do not chase lows to avoid being pulled back.
If spot turns strong and price breaks through and holds, then adjust the bearish view.
Being bearish is fine, but don’t stubbornly hold shorts to your own detriment. 83400, BTC has been consolidating at this level for two days. On the 13th, there was a sharp dip below 81000, causing over 700 million USD to be liquidated across the network, but it quickly bounced back above 83000. I've seen this pattern many times; it's not called stabilization, it's waiting for the referee.
The referee is tonight's 8:30 PM US September CPI. The nominal year-over-year expectation rose from 3.4% to 3.6%, mainly driven by oil prices; the core month-over-month expectation is 0.2%, which is actually milder than last month.
The problem is the context is different now. The Fed has already raised rates once in September, with rates at 3.75%-4.00%, and the 10-year US Treasury yield hovering around 5.2%. At times like this, talking about Bitcoin as an inflation hedge doesn't convince many; investors care more about how much interest they can earn by just holding cash. ETFs haven't helped either; from October 7 to 12, there was a net outflow of about 770 million USD, and ETH ETFs have been even worse, with ten consecutive days of outflows.
I tend to focus only on the core CPI tonight; the nominal figure is already priced in. If the core comes in at 0.2% or lower, after holding above 84000, BTC will likely test 85000; if the core jumps above 0.3%, a December rate hike is basically locked in, and 81000 might not hold, with 80000 as the next psychological support.
For those heavily leveraged, it's not shameful to lower your position before the data; we only play safe bets. During the ten minutes when the data is released, spikes can happen on both sides #九月CPI今晚公布，美联储加息分歧待解 $BTC #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes a new focus Market expectations are that Netflix's new subscriber growth pace will gradually slow, streaming inventory competition intensifies, and the space to drive revenue purely through price increases and new user acquisition is already limited. The global streaming market is becoming saturated, user subscription fatigue is setting in, coupled with competitor diversion, making it difficult for net new subscribers to replicate previous high growth, which is the core concern of the current market.
The ad-supported subscription tier is seen as a second growth curve. The low-priced ad-supported tier can attract price-sensitive users and earn additional advertising revenue without significantly increasing content costs. At the same time, Netflix is ramping up live sports and hit series ad presales, continuously attracting brand advertisers, which is expected to raise the per-user monetization value and offset the pressure from weak subscriber growth.
However, a rational view is needed: the overall base of the advertising business is still relatively small, and in the short term, it is difficult to fully make up for the decline in subscriber growth. It is also affected by corporate advertising budget cycles. If the macro environment tightens, brands will prioritize cutting marketing spending, making advertising revenue more elastic and volatile.
As a Nasdaq heavyweight, changes in Netflix's earnings expectations will affect sentiment in the tech sector. If advertising monetization exceeds expectations, it can easily boost the Nasdaq, indirectly supporting sentiment for BTC, ETH; conversely, if both subscriber and advertising results fall short of expectations, it will drag down risk appetite and disrupt high-beta assets.
Key follow-ups: ad tier penetration rate, ad fill rate, per-user revenue, and the management's medium- to long-term advertising revenue guidance. $BTC $ETH $ZEC What I fear most now is seeing people use "ZEC has a total supply of only 21 million" to persuade others to go all in.
This statement itself is not wrong, but the problem is, does a limited supply necessarily mean the price will rise?
If it were that simple, projects in the crypto space with a total supply even less than Bitcoin would have already taken off one by one.
ZEC's scarcity does have a basis, with a clear issuance cap and a halving mechanism. But ultimately, the price depends on whether people are willing to pay for it. If new demand doesn't keep up, even if the daily newly mined coins decrease, the price can still fall.
Moreover, miners have to pay for electricity and equipment, so they can't hold onto all the ZEC they mine. The actual amount of real sell orders in the market can't be calculated just by looking at the total supply.
I'm not bearish on Zcash; I just think many people like to use a single number to boost their confidence.
The real reasons that make me willing to keep holding $ZEC should be that privacy transactions are being used, wallet experience is improving, development is ongoing, and the market is willing to pay for these things.
If none of these exist and all that's left is "limited supply," then I really wouldn't dare to heavily invest.
For now, I tend to wait and see. If there is a breakout with volume or a stable pullback, then I'll consider participating in batches. Before the market moves, having fewer illusions is quite good.On October 14, interest rate expectation tools showed that after the September CPI release, the market's bet on a Fed rate hike in October rose from 21.6% to 43.7%. The recent increase reflects a clear warming of rate hike expectations, which, if sustained, could pressure risk assets like BTC, but the market's bet is not yet a Fed decision. Next, watch whether rate hike bets continue to rise and whether the Fed's statements support this round of expectation changes.
$BTC Take profit on cryptocurrency short positions and choose to go long on gold.
The trade is based on two logics:
First, interest rate pressure.
Second, global risk aversion, debt risk, and capital allocation needs.
My long position logic is not betting on “CPI being good for gold,” but rather the belief that:
After the negative news is released, if the market does not continue to drop sharply, it indicates that some pressure has been released, and gold may enter a recovery phase.
After today’s US CPI release, gold showed a clear pullback.
The reason is simple:
CPI higher than expected → market raises Fed tightening expectations → US Treasury yields rise → gold faces short-term pressure.
But my view is:
Short-term negative factors are valid, but this does not mean the medium- to long-term trend has changed. US September CPI and core CPI both came in higher than market expectations, indicating inflation has not been suppressed.
With high inflation, the Federal Reserve is even less willing to cut interest rates, and the timing of rate cuts may be delayed.
Cooling rate cut expectations → US Treasury yields tend to rise → Risk assets like Bitcoin come under pressure.
Core CPI annual rate at 2.6%, expected 2.5%; monthly rate at 0.3%, expected 0.2%, all exceeding expectations, signaling a rebound in inflation.
The market originally bet that the Fed could cut rates earlier, but this data will weaken rate cut expectations!
After the data release, the market has already started betting on three rate hikes next year. Today's movement in the A-shares market is a bit off — previously when tech stocks fell, banks would usually step in to support, but today both tech and banks are falling together, both crashing. This rhythm is very unusual.CPI exploded! 3.7%, higher than the expected 3.6%, inflation hasn't come down, and the pressure to raise interest rates is right in our faces. Bulls will probably lose sleep tonight.
Interestingly, the positions in BTC and ETH have both decreased before the data release, with big money running ahead. But the long-short ratio hasn't collapsed; $BTC even bounced to 1.42, $ETH to 1.76, and $SOL is the most extreme at 2.68. Bulls are crowded together, funding rates have turned negative, and the bears are starting to work.
My view: The bearish news is obvious, but the market already dropped in advance. Now the biggest fear is long liquidation, especially for SOL where bulls are clustered. A single crash could trigger a chain reaction. Anyway, I'm not betting on direction; I'll wait for the first spike and crash to finish, then make a move after seeing clearly.
There will definitely be volatility tonight. Don't go heavy, don't hold positions stubbornly. Will BTC break below 82000 first or rebound to 84000?

#台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓
#特斯拉交付超预期后盈利修复成焦点 Most opinions are watching for BTC to break below 80,000 and retest the 200-day moving average before buyers jump in, but the reality might not be like that. This is just to reassure those bottom-fishing in October to get in calmly. Will it really be like this? That would be oversimplifying the capital game. Since the second candle didn't break below 80,800, it basically signals that the stage bottom is between 79,000 and 80,000. Even with today's big CPI negative news, it didn't break down. Those looking to bottom-fish in October might be disappointed again. $BTC $ETH $SOL #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 #BTC现货ETF再度净流出，机构买盘能否回暖？ Satoshi Nakamoto did not have a hardware wallet, nor did he store assets on centralized exchanges.

For long-term holders, the best security solution is not necessarily the most expensive hardware, but rather a key management system that is simple enough, completely isolated, and free of unnecessary operations.US September CPI core inflation exceeded expectations, implying that the Fed's rate cut expectations have cooled again, strengthening the dollar and US Treasury yields, putting pressure on risk assets. Bitcoin and Ethereum are highly likely to follow the US stock market's pressure in the short term and experience a pullback.
However, their reactions will slightly diverge. Bitcoin has relatively stronger resistance to decline due to its "digital gold" narrative still supported amid stagflation concerns. If risk aversion demand rises, $BTC may fall first and then stabilize. $ETH is more sensitive to liquidity; the high interest rate environment suppresses its ecosystem valuation and on-chain activity, so the pullback may be larger.
In the medium term, if inflation stickiness continues, the crypto market will enter a period of volatile digestion, lacking trend-driven upward momentum. But if the data does not change the overall direction of rate cuts, the pullback might instead attract dip buyers. Strategically, short-term focus is on BTC support near $81,000 and ETH near $2,400; breaking below these levels calls for caution. If stabilized, one can wait for the Fed's statement before making moves. Core logic: inflation exceeding expectations = short-term bearish, long-term volatile, BTC relatively resistant, ETH more elastic.
#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 Yesterday it was still doubling, today it got hammered
$NEAR 5.03, down about 15%, yesterday it was still doubling, today it got hammered. On Monday it was the strongest asset in the market, up 118% in a month, leading the whole sector higher, but in one day it dropped from 5.6 to 5.0. This is the two sides of a strong stock: when it rises, money chases it; when it falls, profit-taking runs faster than anyone else. Its fundamentals haven't broken, but short-term sentiment is bad. The probability of a rate hike in October has surged to 53.7% following the CPI blowout. Bears can sleep easy, bulls should set their stop losses and alarms, and check their positions periodically. If the positions are gone, then you can rest assured.
My guess for the upcoming scenario is that tomorrow night’s PPI will likely push the probability even higher, triggering a wave of panic. Finally, at the FOMC meeting on October 28, the suspense will hover around 50%, but no rate hike will be made. After all, the midterm elections are coming up in November, so they need to save face. However, the pressure will shift to December, then to January 2027. The Fed folks always have this kind of attitude. #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 CPI dropped in less than 2 hours.
The first wave of movement will be pure noise, either up or down.
No one knows which way it will go, so I don't trade this candle.
Zooming out: In the past 4 CPI reports, $BTC has risen at least 7% within a few days after each release.
Plus, Bitcoin is currently at HTF support levels, so I think reaching $90,000 before November is very likely. $ETH long position, 100x leverage, entry price 2578, mark price 2500, floating loss -303%. ZHIPU is even worse, 10x leverage long, already down -190%, liquidation price 42.44, just one step away from the current price. Combined margin of the two positions is less than 44U, lost 110U.
This is the cost of betting on data.
Going full leverage long before data release is like putting your life in the hands of a single candlestick. If ETH drops another 2.5%, this position goes to zero; ZHIPU drops another 22%, liquidation occurs. And that spike at midnight often happens within seconds after the data release.
The most ironic thing: tonight's core CPI month-on-month is 0.2%, clearly positive. But the 100x leveraged long position was already wiped out in the volatility before the positive news was realized.
Right direction, wrong leverage, still dead.
Three heartfelt suggestions:
1. Before data events, reduce leverage to below 5x or simply stay out and wait for the results;
2. $ETH 100x leverage with liquidation price less than $380 from current price, this kind of position is not trading, it's lottery ticket buying;
3. Floating loss of -300% means margin is almost wiped out, don't add margin, don't hold the position, liquidation won't reason with you. $ETH Funding rates have "spoken" in advance
Before the CPI release at 8:30 tonight, the rates have already given a signal. BTC shows slight positive values on both platforms (0.0039%, 0.0035%), with neither bulls nor bears daring to take heavy positions—support at 82,500 is repeatedly tested but not broken, and it can't break above 84,000; it is waiting for a signal.
ETH shows divergence: Platform B's current rate turns negative (-0.0043%), shorts start paying and short demand rises; Platform A's cumulative rate remains positive (0.0082%). Half are betting on a rebound, half on continued weakness, behind which is the continuous net outflow from spot ETFs and institutional interest clearly weaker than BTC. The divergence itself is a signal—ETH's directional sense is the weakest and most easily caught off guard by data.
SOL's cumulative rate is 0.0163% but real-time rate has dropped sharply to 0.0033%; those who previously went long are now pulling back, price has fallen from the high point to around 107, and bulls have lost the courage to add positions.
In summary: $BTC is balanced awaiting data, $ETH is in a divergent game, $SOL bulls are retreating.
The bigger picture is tighter: ETFs had a net outflow of 679 million last week, ETH outflow of 542 million; the US dollar index is at an 18-month high, and the 10-year US Treasury yield exceeds 5.2%. Weak funding rates + capital outflows + macro uncertainty, a triple overlay—the market is not unwilling to move, it dares not move.
#美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 Bitcoin miners are about to face a difficulty adjustment.
Around October 16, the difficulty is expected to increase by 5.68%.
Sounds like not much.
But it has a more direct consequence: with the same hash power, the amount of money mined will decrease by 5.37%.
Here’s how the 5.37% comes about.
There’s something called hashprice, which means how much you can earn per unit of hash power per day.
Right now, that number is 39.77 USD.
When difficulty rises, the same machine mining for the same day will get fewer coins.
Income will drop first.
The key is this number hasn’t deducted electricity costs yet.
So whether mining is truly profitable depends on two things: how much you earn and how much electricity costs.
Old miners with cheap electricity can still hold on.
New miners with expensive electricity are in danger.
Here’s a calculation:
For machines with efficiency of 20 joules per terahash, at 8 cents per kWh electricity price, the electricity cost alone eats up all the profit.
In other words, it’s not that mining less causes losses, but that electricity costs are higher than the income from mining.
So why is the difficulty suddenly adjusting?
Bitcoin automatically adjusts difficulty every 2016 blocks, aiming for an average of one block every ten minutes.
Because total hash power is increasing, blocks are being found faster, so difficulty must rise accordingly.
That’s also why it’s "expected" now, not "confirmed."
There are still over three hundred blocks left before the adjustment; during this time, price, hash power, and costs may all change.
The real watershed isn’t difficulty, it’s electricity price.
Miners with cheap electricity are expanding their machines.
Miners with expensive electricity are already shutting down.The US stock market opened on October 14, with the three major indices all opening lower. The Dow fell 0.19%, the S&P dropped 0.48%, and the Nasdaq was the worst, down 0.65%.
The reason is simple: the recent CPI data was too strong, with inflation higher than expected. The market is now starting to bet that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again in October. US Treasury yields surged directly to 5.26%, the dollar is also rising, and gold has fallen below 4100. Money has become more expensive, so stocks naturally fall; the logic is that straightforward.
For Bitcoin, with the US stock market opening in the red, the crypto market can't expect to independently turn green in the short term. The 827 threshold has already been broken, and now it depends on how the US stock market performs in the first half hour after opening—
If the Nasdaq continues to widen its losses, Bitcoin is very likely to fail to hold the 82000-81500 range, and the next support to watch is 80000. If the Nasdaq opens lower but can pull back, and US Treasury yields fall back from 5.26%, Bitcoin will have a chance to fake a breakout and rebound to 82800-83400. When US stocks fall, Bitcoin struggles to stand alone. $BTC $ETH #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期 $BTC today will be a highly volatile day.
Obviously, due to CPI data being higher than expected, risk assets are temporarily being sold off.
Now we see positions being rebuilt, many of which are shorts. Of course, this does not necessarily mean these shorts will be squeezed, but usually, this leads to increased volatility for the rest of the day.
Short squeezes become interesting when reclaiming $83K+, which is roughly the average entry price of these positions.
So please keep a close eye on that area. Big Brother Maji has again injected margin into his $ETH long position, forcibly pushing the liquidation price down from 2481 to 2395. He's determined to be an "undying bull."
In seven days, he lost 11.27 million USD. Every time there's a crash, you can see Maji taking the hit. The most absurd part is this roller coaster: this morning, his account still showed a profit of 5.46 million USD, but now the entire account only has 562,000 left.
However, this level of volatility is routine for him. With this margin top-up, he only gained about 100 USD of buffer. But ETH's current price is hovering around 2500, with 25x leverage and a 13.65K ETH position, so he's still only about 100 USD away from liquidation.
Even worse is the net value shrinkage: as BTC and ETH both dropped more than 5% in a day, the net value of his long positions fell from 12 million yesterday to 2 million now, losing 10 million in just over a day.
Moreover, his HYPE, PUMP, and BTC long positions were all stopped out two hours ago, leaving only this ETH long position. Unfortunately, this one isn't safe either, with a liquidation price of 2471, just 40 dollars below the current price of 2500. In plain terms, adding margin is like pouring water into a leaking bucket. He's not waiting for a rebound. He's waiting for a "non-liquidation" miracle. The more margin he adds, the more it shows he refuses to admit defeat; the more margin he adds, the closer he actually is to liquidation, not further away.Conclusion first: Today $TRUTH surged 38%, with a trading volume of 127 million dollars, and I didn't buy a single cent.
It's not that I don't recognize this coin. It's just that after four consecutive days of rallying, I kept "waiting and watching" every day, and on the fifth day when volume accelerated, I became even more hesitant to act.
Some key numbers: 0.013 plateaued on the platform for six days, then rallied with four consecutive 4H bullish candles, the last candle's volume was 7 times the average of the previous six. But the funding rate is still negative (-0.025%)—the rally isn't driven by leverage, spot traders are absorbing it. Open interest is only 4.35 million dollars, with a very high daily turnover rate.
The overall market had 159 down and 87 up, median -0.7%, and it completely moved against the trend.
Lesson: On the fourth day when it broke through, my hands itched the most, but discipline said "chasing on the fourth day is catching the tail of the fish." I didn't buy today, not because of a correct judgment, but because I couldn't resist.
For this kind of independently strong coin, do you chase on the fourth day or wait for a pullback? $TRUTHAfter the CPI release
US stock futures: S&P 500 about -0.3%, Nasdaq 100 about -0.5% to -0.6%, Dow about -0.2%

Brave's browser gives BAT a real distribution channel most tokens lack: a product people actually use. The idea is to reward attention rather than exploit it. Still, a large user base doesn't guarantee token demand. The question is how much of that usage flows through the token and stays there.Brothers, this is hilarious 😂
Big bro Maji is adding margin again to his ETH long position, pushing the liquidation price down to 2395.
It was 2481 before, now 2395. In seven days, he lost 11.27 million USD. Every time there's a crash, you can always see Maji taking a beating.
At 10:05, his account still had an unrealized profit of 5.46 million. Now the whole account only has 562,000 left. Of course, this kind of volatility is routine for him.
He added about 100 USD as a buffer. But ETH's current price is hovering around 2500.
With 25x leverage and 13.65K ETH, he's still 100 bucks away from liquidation.
BTC and ETH dropped more than 5% in a day, and Maji's long position net value fell from 12 million yesterday to 2 million now. Over a day, he lost 10 million.
HYPE, PUMP, and BTC longs were all closed two hours ago. Now only the ETH long remains. This position isn't safe either, liquidation price is 2471, just 40 bucks away from the current price.
Adding margin is basically pouring water into a leaking bucket.
He's not waiting for a rebound. He's waiting for a miracle that won't blow up.
The more he adds, the more it shows he doesn't want to admit defeat. The more he adds, the more it shows—he's actually not any closer to liquidation.
Young people, don't learn from the whales holding positions. You think they're gambling with their lives, but actually, they're gambling on how many bullets they have left.The CPI arrived as scheduled at 8:30, and outside people are shouting $ETH waterfall. To be honest, that's still an exaggeration. As shown in the chart, the 1-minute $ETH at 8:30 didn't even touch the upper edge of the box before dropping, and the lower position was just at the lower edge of the box. Then it consolidated at the lower edge. Actually, looking at the earlier position today, it has been oscillating within this box, but it turned the $ETH 15-30 minute line into a 1-minute line. After all, with the event #美国9月CPI同比升至3.7%，核心通胀超预期, the strength is actually moderate.I can already smell the burnt scent on this $APT dish — the short-term RSI has burned up to 70.3, black smoke is rising from the pan's edge, and with a couple more shakes, it'll turn to charcoal.
It rose 4.41% in 24H, sounding like a freshly cooked beautiful burnt crust, but when you lift the lid and look inside: the price is already standing at 120% of the short-term Bollinger Band, meaning it not only touched the upper band but forcibly pierced through it by 0.6%, while there's still a 3.7% gap to the lower band. This plating is a typical "burnt outside, raw inside." The mid-term Bollinger Band is at 97%, with the upper band just 0.2% overhead, meaning the plate has already reached the serving window with no second layer to stack.
Looking at the long-term RSI, it's only 54.1, a neutral clear broth base, which hasn't kept up with the boiling spicy oil of the short-term. The imbalance between short-term and long-term in this dish is typical of seasoning overpowering the main course — whoever chases now will get a sore throat.
So my approach is: serve it in reverse.
📉 Short:
Entry: 0.64 (current price +2.0%)
Take Profit 1: 0.59 (-6.1%)
Take Profit 2: 0.60 (-4.9%)
Stop Loss: 0.70 (+12.1%)
Why set the entry 2.0% above? It's like waiting for the pot to roll back once before scooping, letting the last batch of chasing buyers push the oil temperature to its peak, then I skim the oil as it cools down. Both take profit targets are within about 5%, the safest zone to separate meat from bone — not greedy for the fattiest bite, because that part usually has sinew. The stop loss is set 12.1% above; honestly, this stop loss is a bit far, essentially giving this dish an excess of extra spicy chili space; when actually cooking, I treat this position like "sprinkling a pinch of chili powder," definitely not dumping a whole spoonful in. Leverage is the extra spicy chili — a few drops add aroma, but pouring half a bottle will burn through your intestines; the one going to the hospital won't be the market, but yourself.
As for the ratio: mainstream coins are my main course, $APT is like pepper powder seasoning, and its portion in the entire portfolio must not exceed a pinch. Now it's overcooked on the short-term but still raw on the long-term; this dish itself shouldn't be served alone. The 4.41% 24H gain is like the last sprinkle of scallions on top — looks good but not chewy.
My trading logic is simple: while the plating is still at a high point, serve this dish out; don't wait for the guests to find the inside is cold.
The moment the closing price hits the Bollinger upper band and RSI crosses 70, the fire can't be turned off — I don't put out the fire, I pull the pot.Large scale, how much profit is actually made?
For $AAVE, I first look at the money lent out.
Users deposit assets, which only provide funds for lending services. Loans generate interest, part of which goes into the protocol treasury according to each asset's reserve factor.
So after deposits increase, you still need to see if anyone borrows, how much they borrow, and how much interest they pay.
For a simple example: if deposits double but borrowing demand doesn't keep up, income may not double.
I look at actual borrowing, interest rates, and treasury income together, then study how much can be allocated to support the token's value. A large fund pool is worth noting, but there may also be a lot of idle money.
For $FIL, I care more about how much storage fees customers are willing to pay.
Storage providers' income comes from both customer payments and network block rewards; providing services also requires locking FIL as collateral.
Therefore, as more data is stored, it's necessary to check if fees keep pace.
If growth mainly relies on rewards to attract supply rather than customers continuously paying for services, the value is different. I prioritize evidence of renewals and payment amounts.
For $UNI, after seeing impressive trading volume, I then analyze fee distribution.
Trading fees compensate liquidity providers, and in some cases, part of the fees go into the protocol.
So you can't take all trading fees and directly assign them to token valuation.
Different versions and pools have different fee rules that need to be broken down, then see how much actually enters token-related mechanisms. Trading volume is the entry point; how the money is finally distributed is the next step.The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the September CPI today: overall month-over-month +0.6%, year-over-year +3.7%; core month-over-month +0.3%, year-over-year +2.6%. The main reason is a sharp 9.1% increase in gasoline prices, with the core slightly exceeding market expectations (month-over-month about 0.2%, year-over-year about 2.5%). 👉🏻Short-term impact The hotter core data means the Fed's rate cut expectations will further cool down, and it is even possible that high interest rates will be maintained longer. Risk asset sentiment is likely to be pressured, with BTC, ETH, and others possibly experiencing initial pullbacks or intensified volatility. Although the market has partially priced in the overall rise driven by energy, the core exceeding expectations will still make capital more cautious. 👉🏻Long-term impact If subsequent inflation can ease from energy spillover, the Fed still has room to shift toward easing, which will support crypto in the mid to long term. Conversely, if the core remains sticky and the dollar and interest rate environment stay tight, it will drag down overall risk appetite, causing greater volatility in the crypto market. 👉🏻Comprehensive judgment Slightly negative in the short term, neutral to slightly positive in the mid to long term. This data itself is not explosively negative, but the core exceeding expectations raises the probability of "high interest rates lasting longer," making short-term sentiment pressure more obvious. 👉🏻Tips for beginners Don't blindly chase rises or falls just because of CPI data. The crypto market is sensitive to macro data, but the real direction is determined by capital flows and sentiment. Understanding the data before acting is more important than chasing hot topics. 👉🏻Is it suitable to enter the market now? It is not recommended to heavily enter now; you can wait for the market to fully digest the data At 20:30 Beijing time tonight, the September CPI came in across the board above expectations: overall year-on-year 3.7%, core year-on-year 2.6%, core month-on-month stuck at 0.3% for two consecutive months. Normally, this is a classic bearish combination: S&P futures turned negative, 10-year US Treasury yield jumped to 5.29%, 2-year yield rose 13 basis points to 4.92%, and the probability of a rate hike in October was pushed to around 50%. But the reaction of $BTC was: it slid from around 84,000 to about 82,400, dropping only about 1% in 24 hours. $ETH was similar, at $2,464, down 1.5%, not even touching key levels.
What does this mean? It means the truly “hawkish” part had already been fully priced in this morning. I wrote earlier in the morning that the market had preemptively realized the hawkish expectations: continuous ETF outflows, yields taking off early, prices suppressed below 84,000. So after the data release, what the market punished was not the “inflation exceeding expectations” news itself, but rather clearing out the remaining bit of hope. When bad news is priced in without a crash, it is often one of the strongest short-term signals; at least the bears didn’t dare to launch a second wave at this time.
But don’t rush to call a reversal. After tonight, the game changes. Before the CPI, the market was trading on “what the data is,” after the CPI, it will trade on “what the Fed will do.” Core month-on-month at 0.3% for two consecutive months means inflation stickiness is confirmed, and an October rate hike is back on the table. This is the real situation for $BTC now$XAU Gold at 4090, what are you still hesitating about?
Doubting the bulls just because gold is pulling back? I can only say that when it rallies again, many will complain it's too expensive.
My view has always been clear: bullish on gold in the medium to long term, and short-term pullbacks are actually worth paying attention to.
Gold has been hard currency since ancient times, with global central banks continuously allocating gold, and ETF funds also reflecting the market's demand for gold allocation. But short-term trends can't be judged solely by safe-haven logic; U.S. inflation, the dollar's movement, and Fed rate expectations remain key factors influencing gold prices.
Currently, gold has fallen back to around $4090. Data-driven volatility does increase short-term uncertainty. But if support holds after the pullback and buyers return, this could actually offer a better opportunity to position.
I like this kind of trending market—no need for daily surges, as long as the big picture doesn't change, just patiently wait for opportunities. In terms of trading, consider scaling in gradually, don't blindly chase highs, and don't easily turn bearish just because of a temporary pullback.
As for $5000, I still hold expectations. But a target is a target, and trading is trading—don't treat optimism as a guaranteed rise, nor use long-term logic as a reason to hold through short-term losses. Keep your position steady to wait for the trend to truly emerge. #沙特阿美总部遇袭，原油供应受关注 Put/call skew flattens: institutions aren't chasing upside, they're buying $78K–$80K puts as insurance. Spot holds, hedges on. That's a range market with a tail — not a blow-off top.$FIL needs close attention these days! The halving cycle is coming soon. Although the expectation has already been reflected in the market and it has doubled in the past two months, there may still be intense volatility after the halving starts, and even a major crash might occur. In my view, the halving of production and the team's lock-up are definitely long-term positives, because from the start of the halving, market selling pressure will decrease by 75% year-over-year compared to now. Although buying and selling will still tug back and forth, the logic has shifted from selling pressure exceeding buying pressure to being evenly matched or buying pressure possibly overwhelming selling pressure after some positive news! What I really worry about now is that spot holders who previously bought at costs of tens or even hundreds will take advantage of this positive news to sell, which is definitely unfavorable for the current market, but this is all short-term. Personally, I plan to go long on $FIL for the long term, so short-term volatility won't affect me! Compared to the previous pre-market data, the decline in individual storage stocks has slightly narrowed. SK Hynix and SanDisk SNDK's downward momentum has slowed, Micron is basically flat, and panic selling in the early session has eased somewhat. However, AI computing power leaders collectively turned from red to green, with Nvidia and Meta weakening, and only a few stocks closing higher. The buying momentum in the tech sector has clearly weakened.
The Asia-Pacific market's storage sector saw a brief recovery, but overseas storage stocks failed to turn positive, only narrowing their losses rather than reversing the trend. This is merely a stop-loss battle after an oversell.
Transmitted to the A-shares market, the slowdown in overseas storage declines can alleviate the pressure of a sharp drop in the storage sector tomorrow. However, major companies remain generally weak, making a strong rebound difficult. Any rally is likely to face profit-taking. Meanwhile, the weakness of Nvidia and Meta suppresses sentiment in domestic computing power and media sectors, and Lumentum's decline also drags down expectations for optical modules.
Regarding $SNDK, it is currently only a brief pause in the downtrend, with insufficient bullish strength. Rebounds can be used as opportunities to position short orders, maintaining a weak outlook in the short term.
⚠️ Market views shared only, not investment advice The moment I woke up, the string of numbers on my phone screen seemed to have a corner quietly erased by someone✨ Floating profit dropped by three hundred thousand US dollars, how would you handle the direction in your hands? Last night's market was actually very representative. ETH was repeatedly tugged above 2500; many took it as a signal that "finally it's time to go long," but what I saw was a repeatedly tested distribution range. The point in this trader's record that struck me the most was not how much floating profit he lost, but that he clearly said: the short position at BTC 83491 was the one with the highest floating profit and is still held now. The amount of information behind this sentence is much greater than it appears on the surface. First, look at the facts. ETH 2500 was repeatedly mentioned as a short point, and the price did indeed hover around this level. BTC had a rebound near 83491 but overall did not break out of the resistance zone. Altcoins fell more directly, with both short positions hitting full profit margins. ZEC was singled out for observation due to its high volatility. Putting these details together, it looks more like a trend entering a divergence phase rather than a clean start or continuation. What is the market trading? I think the core is event repricing. With CPI about to be released, Hamarck again signaling further rate hikes, semiconductor sector sell-offs, and South Korea's KOSPI dropping over 6%, these external signals combined are suppressing risk appetite. The rebounds in BTC and ETH seem more like short covering and short-term sentiment repair rather than new funds willing to continuously take over at this level. In other words SNDK at $1420, do you dare to bottom-fish?
Falling from 2354 to 1400, everyone is shouting "AI storage bubble burst," but just now, Binance perpetual futures bounced back from 1401 to 1420, and the funding rate is still positive—so is this a bear trap by the manipulators using bad news to shake out weak hands, or is the AI storage bubble really about to burst?
Let's look at the surface first: it's bad, really bad.
Retracted 40% from the June ATH of 2354, with a continuous downtrend recently, hitting a low of 1401 on October 13. Broadcom's CEO's comment crashed the entire semiconductor sector, China's CXMT progress scared the market, and worries about flash memory price volatility are everywhere.
But look at the chart—1400 hasn't been broken, the underlying stock closed yesterday pulling back to the 1480s. This morning pre-market is back to 1420-1440. The candlesticks tell you: 1400 is a tested iron bottom recently, volume hasn't spiked extremely during the decline, and the oversold zone has been reached. All signals are shouting one thing: this is an emotion-driven pullback, not a fundamental collapse.
First thing: Did Broadcom's CEO's comment really scare the market that much?
Broadcom's CEO said AI financing has constraints, the entire SOX sector pulled back, and SNDK got hit along with it.
Sounds scary? But think about it—has AI capital expenditure really stopped? Cloud providers and AI labs are still frantically building data centers, NAND/SSD is the most critical supporting component after GPUs. Multiple institutions maintain expectations of tight NAND supply and demand in 2026, supporting prices.
What is a false sell-off? This is it. Sector sentiment dragged good companies down together. Retail investors panic that the "AI bubble burst," while smart money quietly buys near 1400.
Second thing: China's CXMT competition? Long-term shadow, short-term noise.
CXMT's progress indeed triggered short-term panic about high-end storage competition. But look at SNDK's fundamentals:
Pure NAND flash player, vertically integrated with Kioxia
TTM revenue about $20 billion, EPS about 74, volume and price both rising
Current TTM PE about 20, forward PE only around 7
Market cap 210 billion, analyst consensus "buy," average target price 2173
Current price 1420, target price 2173, a 50% gap in between. You tell me this is a bubble?
Compare: Nvidia's forward PE? 30x. SNDK only 7x. This is not a bubble, this is a discount.
Third thing: A technical signal that must be taken seriously has appeared.
Retracted 40% from ATH, YTD still up over 500%, 1-year up over 1000%. This is a typical normal pullback after a surge, not a trend reversal.
Support: 1400 (iron bottom, multiple tests) → 1350 (extreme case)
Resistance: 1480-1500 (previous close + round number) → 1600 → 1700
Catalyst: Earnings report after market close on October 29, market expects EPS about 46
Daily/4H charts are weak, short-term moving averages are resistance, but after a large pullback, it has entered oversold territory, a technical rebound is imminent. Funding rate is positive (8-hour 0.02-0.04%), indicating bulls still want to hold positions.
But remember—perpetual futures have leverage, volatility will be amplified. If 1400 breaks down with volume, the next target is 1350 or even lower.
Bull vs. bear, you decide:
On one side:
AI data center NAND demand continues to explode
Analyst average target price 2173, 50% upside
Forward PE only 7x, valuation is cheap
1400 iron bottom tested multiple times, oversold rebound imminent
October 29 earnings catalyst approaching
On the other side:
Broadcom's comments triggered concerns about AI spending sustainability
China's CXMT long-term competition shadow
Semiconductor sector overall technical correction
Short-term moving averages bearish, sentiment fragile
If 1400 breaks, it may trigger bull stop-losses
Key level 1420, only $20 above the death line 1400.
Resistance above: 1480-1500 → 1600 → 1700 → analyst target 2173
Support below: 1400 (iron bottom) → 1350 → 1000 (extreme)
Trading strategy
Short-term traders:
Light long positions near 1400 if it stabilizes (watch for volume rebound or lower shadow), stop loss 1350-1380. First target 1480-1520, then reduce or switch to defense. If it breaks 1400 and can't recover, wait or lightly short. Funding rate positive, suitable for short swings, don't hold stubbornly.
Mid-term players:
Build long positions in batches between 1400-1450, target 1600-1800 (expectation heating before earnings). Control position before earnings or hedge with options/small leverage. Buying on pullbacks is better than chasing highs, much better value than June highs.
Risk control rules:
High Beta + perpetual futures, single trade risk no more than 1-2% of account
Total position not too heavy, keep enough cash
Watch underlying stock intraday moves, NAND price data, MU and other storage stock correlations
If earnings miss expectations or NAND guidance weakens, another sell-off possible
SNDK now is like Nvidia in 2023—
After a surge, a 40% pullback, everyone shouts "bubble burst," but earnings come out and it doubles.
You fear the pullback, others fear missing the ride.
If you don't dare to buy at 1400, will you chase at 2000 after earnings?
$BTC $NVDA $SNDK $BTC data first dropped nearly a thousand dollars, now hovering around 82,700. At 20:30 Beijing time tonight, the US September CPI will be released: overall year-on-year 3.7%, month-on-month 0.6%, basically within expectations—September gasoline surged, everyone knows the headline looks bad. The real pain is in the core: month-on-month 0.3%, exactly the same as August, while the market expected it to drop to 0.2%; year-on-year also rose to 2.6%.
Overall, the focus is on oil prices, the core is about stickiness. The core hasn't come down for two consecutive months, indicating that the September rate hike was just the beginning—before the Fed meeting on October 27-28, this is the last piece of the puzzle. Before tonight, the market was betting on "no move in October, hike in December," but now the October card is back on the table. The 10-year US Treasury yield instantly jumped to 5.31%, which is the real thing crushing risk assets: it's not the CPI itself falling, but the repricing of rate hike expectations.
In plain terms: $BTC has been repeatedly tested between 81,000–82,500 these past two days; tonight is the touchstone. Holding this level means the bears' strength on data night is capped, bulls can still look for a rebound window around 84,000; breaking it will head toward 80,000, and the weak will be taken out first—$ETH fell 0.95% in 24h, underperforming BTC's 0.59%, altcoins will suffer even more than BTC. Before tomorrow's PPI release, this market is not for bottom-fishers; there is plenty of room on the right side.Today, my watchlist is mostly green, but the whales are playing three completely different games:
$BTC is real spot trading with genuine exchanges. Coinbase premium has turned negative, institutions are selling at a discount; however, on-chain over 30,000 coins have been withdrawn this month, and whales are quietly accumulating again. This kind of tug-of-war often signals a market shift; once the chips are exchanged, a new direction emerges.
HYPE is purely a contract battlefield, with almost no spot trading. On Hyperliquid, short positions net $225 million, with an account shorting since last September still holding on despite a $23 million unrealized loss. No matter how much it rallies, it’s just hot air; without spot support, it can crash anytime.
OKB has fundamentals and a story, but sentiment hasn’t picked up, RSI is only 41, so it’s just following the market’s slow decline. However, there is capital absorbing around 125, indicating big players are betting on its transformation from a platform token to a stock settlement infrastructure. Whales are most likely either holding long-term or gambling on the next wave of sentiment-driven speculation.
Three scripts, three rhythms—don’t use the same position strategy for all.
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #台积电Q3营收创新高，盈利表现待揭晓 CPI exceeds expectations, core inflation does not cool down: Will the October rate hike be brought forward?
The data is out and leans hawkish. US September CPI: overall year-on-year 3.7% (expected 3.6%), month-on-month 0.6% as expected; but the Fed's key focus, core month-on-month 0.3% (expected 0.2%), core year-on-year 2.6% (expected 2.5%) — both core figures exceed expectations, cooling off failed.
Market reacted quickly: 10-year US Treasury yield broke through 5.3%, consensus on no rate hike in October begins to loosen, bets on another hike in December continue to heat up. BTC dropped about $1,000 in response, now around $82,400. Oil prices are the main culprit pushing the overall up (gasoline +9.1% monthly), but the core not cooling down is the real trouble for the Fed.
Next to watch is the FOMC on October 27-28. Core month-on-month has been 0.3% for two consecutive months, leaving less room to "wait and see." For the crypto space, a stronger dollar and US Treasury yields are direct headwinds — don’t rush to bottom-fish tonight, let the dust settle a bit.
Risk warning: Macro data fluctuates sharply before and after release, participate cautiously. For reference only, not investment advice.
#BTCBerkshire adds $330 million, Bending Spoons surges 32% pre-market, what's the story behind this "App Harvester" favored by Buffett?
Market overview: OKX xBSP pre-market quote at 47.72, 24h up 25%, surged past 49.51 then pulled back; trading volume 14.23 million USDT, turnover rate only 0.13%, low-liquidity pre-market token, a few million U can easily push out a big bullish candle.
Strong catalyst: Berkshire added $330 million investment, private placement of 10 million shares at $33 each; combined with $600 million invested at IPO, Buffett has bet nearly $1 billion in two rounds. Bending Spoons is an Italian app group, having acquired Evernote and Meetup, also acquiring Miro and Airtable, Q2 earnings per share $0.46 beating expectations, revenue $704 million beating expectations.
But to pour cold water: P/E ratio 266, RSI 99, pre-market surge to 49.51 has already overextended; placement price $33 is Buffett's cost line, current price 47.72 is 40% higher than big money's cost — big names backing it is a real signal, but chasing high premiums requires caution. Pre-market low liquidity means volatility will only increase after official open.
Watch the psychological anchor at the $33 placement price, if it breaks the support at 46.16; at US market open, see if BSP can hold steady, only then can we talk about a second wave. DYOR, not investment advice.
