PAXG and USD1 have a clear processing deadline on Coinbase's European Economic Area retail accounts: October 30. The official help page reviewed on October 9 states that the remaining balances of affected assets will be automatically converted at market rates at that time, converted to USDC if suitable, otherwise to other supported assets or currencies.
Currently, buying, selling, and exchanging these assets are restricted, and supported withdrawals are the exit for continued holding; assets transferred in after the deadline will not be credited or participate in automatic conversion. Recovery is only provided when technically feasible and cannot be considered a guarantee.
Regulation and platforms are two clocks. ESMA, in its October 8 opinion, requires EU MiCA-authorized service providers to stop related non-compliant stablecoin services; existing exposures must be handled promptly, no later than three months after the opinion's release. Coinbase's October 30 arrangement is not a unified deadline for all platforms worldwide.
The mechanism is like exchanging for acceptable tickets at a counter: what changes is the service qualification. Both PAXG and USD1 are listed as restricted on this platform; PAXG is a gold-backed token, not a dollar-pegged coin. USDC is the designated conversion destination. This does not mean the announcement proves the token is unpegged; follow-up depends on execution, network support, and liquidity.

Actually, turning 100u into 1500u is not difficult
The process of going back to zero
When the account reached 1500u, I made a long position on ETH and BCH, both with floating profits around 200%. The margin for opening positions was 135u and 100u. Only after reaching 1500u did I dare to open a position of about 100u.
The turning point was here. At that time, I did not close the position with 200% floating profit because the target was 1000%
At that time, looking at the daily, 15-minute, and 4-hour levels, the overall upward breakout was gradually weakening. ETH's daily level kept showing doji candles back and forth, lasting several days without breaking through the 2800 point level.
A few days before the downward break, I kept thinking it would rebound, so I kept holding the position, resisting the trend until finally going back to zero. Actually, there's nothing much to say about going back to zero; everyone has the same experience.
The main takeaway, for myself and for you, is to always trust your own judgment. Never resist the trend. The basic rule in trading is to always set a stop loss after opening a position!!! Staying alive is the priority; only by staying alive can you have a chance to turn things around. When it's time to take a loss, you must take it without hesitation, or else you risk liquidation.$SOL perpetual 100x short position, opened at 121.55, now at 109.63, floating profit +989.71%.
The logic is simple: after a surge, the bullish momentum quickly fades, the rise relies entirely on sentiment without substantial buy support. With 100x leverage, stop loss at 126. On the news front, Solana ecosystem meme popularity continues to decline, on-chain transaction activity has sharply dropped, token unlocking window is approaching, early holders are expected to release chips suppressing the market, and the thematic bonus that previously drove the rally has been exhausted.
Chasing funds no longer enter, profit-taking is gradually realized, and the price weakens step by step.
Trailing stop raised to 113. Increase short positions on volume break below 106; rebound is weak and under pressure, patiently hold short waiting for further decline. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 Regarding how to become a distinguished guest at major exchange events, I've summarized that you need to meet at least the following conditions: 1. You need to have a fan base, with at least 20,000 Twitter followers. Also, you must not complain or criticize these exchanges in daily life to receive event invitations. You also cannot actively defend your rights; even if others initiate rights protection and you repost to support them, the exchange will most likely stop inviting you. 2. It's best to become a VIP of the exchange. Exchanges often hold various offline events for VIPs. It doesn't have to be the highest level, but at least reach the basic VIP1 threshold, which roughly requires holding 1 million in assets. When top exchanges select guests, they focus on two points: either having sufficient financial strength or having influence and weight in speech, along with a fan base. In the crypto circle, the number of male KOLs far exceeds females, so competition among men is much fiercer. These offline events generally control the male-to-female guest ratio close to 1:1. For female KOLs, having outstanding looks and fashionable dressing gives an advantage, as many event venues also need female guests to support the scene. Imagine if an event is filled with only older men and women, the visual impression would seem less classy. Of course, if the VIP level is high enough, this restriction does not apply, and age won't be an issue. The requirements for male guests are stricter. They must either be exchange VIPs; if not VIPs, they need to have a large fan base; another path is having a good personal relationship with the exchange's BD staff. But speaking ofMany traders see $ENA continuously rising and are easily driven by the bullish candlesticks, generating strong fear of missing out, rushing to enter long positions, afraid of missing this wave of the market.
But I deliberately suppress the impulse to chase the rise, patiently waiting for this rally to finish. Only when the price reaches the resistance level at 0.25849 and the upward momentum is clearly exhausted do I choose the opportunity to enter a short position. Holding a 50x short position patiently, following the downtrend, I gained a floating profit of 828.65%.
The hardest part of trading is never understanding the market's rise and fall, but controlling your restless heart that is eager to enter and afraid of missing out. $BTC $ETH #BTC现货ETF创近三个半月最大单日净流出 $MAGIC MAGIC is another speculative coin driven hard by sentiment and leverage, showing strong short-term momentum, but there is a major issue to watch out for!
The current market situation of MAGIC: it has risen 36% in 24 hours, volume has surged to over 57 million, the price pierced through the upper Bollinger Band and is pushing hard against it. However, its core TVL is basically zero, on-chain real usage is pitifully small, propped up by the narrative of Treasure transitioning to AI Agent and Base ecosystem expansion. Open interest contracts account for over 60% of market cap, leverage is stacked extremely high, and once the longs start to close, the reversal will be very intense!
Just like $LAB LAB back then, the team-related wallets deposited nearly 100 million tokens to exchanges during the pump. They crazily pumped the price, attracted retail investors chasing the rally, then crashed overnight. The same happened with BEAT$BEAT at the time, where the top 10 wallets controlled 87% of the supply, with only about 300 million circulating out of 1 billion total supply, and the market was always worried about the next batch unlocking.
The problem with this coin is low circulation, high wallet control, driven by sentiment and leverage without solid fundamental support. MAGIC still has short-term momentum in this wave; those with positions can move their stop-loss up, but those who haven't entered should wait and watch. Preserving principal is more important than anything. #波动雷达：币种异动观察 @OKX星球 Zhuge Liang’s Empty Fort Strategy fooled Sima Yi once. The $CORE project seems to have turned it into a strategy for fooling holders over and over again.

Looking at DOGE's on-chain data, average coin age is worth monitoring. It records how long coins have been sitting in addresses: when the number goes up, holders are holding steady; when it goes down, chips start changing hands.
An increase in coin age means old holders are not interested in selling. Coins lie in wallets, circulating supply shrinks, selling pressure eases. This usually happens when everyone recognizes long-term value and is willing to wait; chips settle, and the holding structure tends to stabilize. But on the other hand, coins not moving could also mean trading is quiet, new funds haven't entered, the market lacks fresh liquidity, and sedimentation and stagnation are just a thin line apart.
A decrease in coin age is a different picture. Sleeping coins are awakened, old chips flow to new buyers, turnover accelerates, heat and liquidity rise together, indicating funds are willing to take over, and market attention on DOGE is heating up. But risks also hide here: old holders moving chips might be exiting, distributing coins to newcomers.
So this indicator itself has no directional meaning. Whether an increase means sedimentation or quietness, or a decrease means relay or distribution, you can't conclude by looking at it alone. Reading it together with volume and active address count is necessary to clearly see the current sentiment of $DOGE holders.$TRUMP's current plunge is like a night market after closing: the lights are still on, but the crowd has thinned. Those heavily invested are trapped, the daily chart is broken down, and the short-term outlook is just cold wind; the only option is to zoom out.
It never relied on financial reports to survive, but on sentiment, narrative, and attention. Take profit at 2.5, stop loss at 1.6—these are lines drawn by oneself; once broken, sell orders are more honest than opinions. Hot coins have no earnings to support them, only whether the next buyer is willing to take them. Price is not a judgment of value, just the marginal buyer's quote.
Therefore, breaking down does not mean zeroing out, it just means no one is willing to raise the price for now. Finding a position in the long cycle is more practical than guessing the bottom in panic.
#ETF仍在流入，BTC为何下跌？ #美CFTC推进加密市场规则，SEC拟调整托管框架 #Strategy再购BTC，多家财库同步增持 $TRUMP From a technical perspective, $ZEC faces heavy resistance around 1316.78, with shrinking volume and a downward shift in focus. It is still testing support at 1216.46. A rebound from oversold lows could come at any time; this position is the most prone to sudden spikes that trigger short squeezes. Even a 50x short floating profit, no matter how large, remains tense.
My 50x short floating profit is 380.92%, with an average entry price of 1316.78 and the current mark at 1216.46. The direction was correct, but there is a lot of low-level contention.
To the followers copying my trades, I have taken significant profits and am now moving the stop to protect the remaining position. Watch the strength of support at 1216; if it holds and returns to 1316, I will exit cleanly. High-leverage shorts don’t gamble on the lowest point; exiting safely is the real win. Paper wealth should not be taken too seriously. $ETH $BTC #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 Damn! That biggest long position has already made $116.7 million this year! Just the current unrealized profit on hand is $8.77 million, the numbers alone are dizzying.
Looking closely at the details, this guy's operation is quite interesting. He split into 10 addresses, holding a $320 million long position, mainly 1,400 $BTC and 82,000 $ETH. The key is the average entry price: BTC average price 75,967, ETH average price 2,493.
This is very intriguing. A $320 million position with only about $8 million unrealized profit now, what does that mean? Either he just recently opened or rolled the position, or the market just passed his cost line with little profit. But this guy is impressive—this year, by stubbornly going long on BTC and ETH, he has managed to accumulate $116.7 million. You can only say it’s true that fortune favors the bold and starves the timid.$SOL's high-level support is clearly weakening, with selling pressure stubbornly holding above 116, and the rebound lacks volume as the center of gravity keeps dropping. Now it has dropped to around 109.61 to consolidate at the bottom, with bottom-fishing funds becoming active, and the long-short battle intensifying, a sharp spike could happen at any time.
I shorted 100x at 116.26, now marking 109.61, with a floating profit of 571.99%. At 100x leverage, this position looks like a big win, but the margin for error is extremely thin; a few counter moves could wipe out most of the gains.
To my brothers, lock in profits on large positions first, keep a base position to watch the 109.6 support, and if it returns above 116.26 entry price, exit all. Don’t be greedy for the tail; only realized gains count. $ETH $ZEC #BTC现货ETF创近三个半月最大单日净流出 How can tokenized assets become qualified collateral?
Tokenizing stocks is just the first step.
The real change is: can they be used as collateral for loans? Can they be used for margin? Can they participate in securities lending, leverage, and liquidation?
When tokenized assets enter these stages, on-chain finance is no longer just a trading market but is building a new financing system.
This is very similar to Prime Brokerage going on-chain: assets, financing, risk management, and clearing gradually integrate.
But the key threshold is not just being on-chain, but whether asset rights, pricing, liquidity, and clearing mechanisms can be recognized by the market.
In on-chain finance, the competition may not only be about trading volume but about who can truly put assets to use.
$ONDO $LINK $UNI $HYPE YPE #RWAIn the last bull market, only those who held $BTC with diamond hands seemed to survive, while countless altcoin holders were wiped out. That experience has left many investors questioning whether altcoins are even worth holding anymore.
But here’s an interesting thought: When almost everyone believes altcoins are trash, could that be exactly when the next opportunity begins to emerge?
The current pessimism reminds me of the crazy optimism in 2023. #DailyOrbit 【On-Chain Trading Update｜ETH】

MINA continues to drop over 17%. How to observe supply digestion after consecutive sharp declines?
Today's early morning 24-hour spot observation window: range 0.07446—0.09894 USDT, change -17.21%, trading volume approximately 5.09 million USDT.
The range low point is again below yesterday's; the observed quotes remain at the lower end. The sense of cheapness after the drop is insufficient to identify a bottom. Supply reduction to cut losses may appear with each rebound; recovery requires continuous stable lows rather than a single upward move.
If new lows keep appearing, maintain a defensive observation; if a breakdown is reclaimed and subsequent pullbacks no longer hit new lows, then increase the assessment of supply absorption.DOGE's open interest is the most important "battlefield density" indicator to watch in the crypto space because the sentiment intensity and leverage level of this market determine that its OI signals are purer than those of other coins.
DOGE's position structure is mainly retail investors; the market is ignited by news and sentiment. Whenever Musk speaks or the DOGE team takes action, OI expands ahead of the price. So when watching DOGE, the combination of rising OI without a price increase is especially critical: new money is flowing in, both longs and shorts are adding positions, but the price is held down, indicating maximum divergence and opposing forces. DOGE's market looks like a fully drawn bow; this kind of high-density sideways movement is often the calm before a breakout. Once one side's defense weakens, the liquidation chips piled on the opposite side will push the market further.
High OI with different directions has different meanings. DOGE's high OI combined with rising prices usually means shorts are being squeezed out, and forced buy orders fuel the rally. These Musk-driven surges often feature cascading short squeezes; high OI combined with falling prices means longs are taking losses. To distinguish between active position building or passive liquidation, just look at the funding rate: if the rate moves with the price, forced liquidations are driving it.
OI contraction also tells a story. If DOGE's price rises but OI shrinks, it's a short-covering-supported false rally that fades once the news hype dies down; if the price falls and OI shrinks, it means longs are capitulating, which actually signals proximity to a phase bottom.
$DOGE's market is never short on excitement, but it lacks calm. The price tells you where the excitement is; OI tells you how much capital is staked in that excitement. 📊 Chip/ETF Tracking:

According to reports, Zcash plans to advance quantum-resistant upgrades, aiming to launch a hash-based signature algorithm by January 2027 to counter potential threats to private keys from future quantum computing.
Recently, there has been heated discussion in the community that millions of Bitcoin coins face long-term risks of being cracked due to exposed public keys. In contrast, Zcash has already taken the lead in implementing related research and development.
Besides quantum resistance, the development team is also working on a new privacy solution that allows wallets to check balances without exposing addresses to the server. This means simultaneously ensuring quantum-resistant security and user address privacy.
However, note that the launch time is only an estimate and not finalized; there are still uncertainties about whether the technology can be successfully implemented.
In the past, privacy coin hype mainly focused on transaction concealment; going forward, the new narrative of quantum resistance is added, meaning that even if quantum computers emerge, assets will not be easily cracked.
With the dual concept of privacy + quantum resistance, $ZEC can be continuously tracked.
Of course, whether it can ultimately trigger a market trend depends on whether the funds recognize this narrative.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #OpenAI营收口径引争议，AI投资回报受关注
🔥OpenAI's revenue calculation has been dissected these past few days.
The market is starting to question whether AI, after burning so much money, can actually turn a profit?
Seeing this news, a thought popped into my head: Even the giants with deep pockets are starting to be held accountable, so how can those "AI concept coins" in our crypto circle, which don't even have products, continue to survive?
——
Everyone can see how dry the market has been these past couple of days.
Bitcoin fell below 84,000, and ETFs recorded the largest single-day net outflow in three and a half months. On one side, the October tax season is forcing big holders to sell coins to pay taxes; on the other, the 5.6% high yield on 30-year US Treasury bonds is locking up off-exchange funds. What's left on the exchange are all high-leverage mutual liquidations.
Without fresh liquidity, any grand narrative is just nonsense.
With AI investment returns being questioned and the leader's sentiment shifting, those "decentralized computing power" derivatives will only get worse. At this time, rushing into AI concept coins is simply fueling the market.
——
So my recent strategy is extremely boring, just three things:
1. Close all contracts, not betting on any direction.
2. Put spot assets into cold wallets, not watching short-term spikes and dips.
3. Hold only USDT.
It's not that I'm scared; during a liquidity drought, principal is more precious than anything.
Wait for the tax season to pass, wait for macro sentiment to truly settle, and then when the market crashes hard, that's when you bend down to pick up the bloodied chips. Those rushing in now are most likely sacrifices $OPENAI Both $XAU and $BTC get called hedges, yet neither is acting like one this week. XAU dipped to about $4,083 before bouncing near $4,190, with rising yields as the main weight. BTC sits near $82,500, roughly 35% below its $126K high, after ETFs lost $244M Thursday. Gold Spot Prices Rise 62 USD to Recover From Weekly Lows +2.
$XAU at least has buyers: China's central bank bought 21 tonnes in September. BTC's buyers are less certain.
If yields keep rising, which one breaks first? When the US government transfers BTC, retail investors automatically translate it as: "The market is about to crash 😂"
On October 8, the US government transferred out 12,267 BTC, worth about $1.01 billion.
The scale is indeed intimidating, but there is no confirmed sale yet.
Looking back at history, the situation is not that simple:
March 2023: The government confirmed selling 9,861 BTC, earning about $216 million, yet on that day BTC actually rose about 2.43%.
July 2024: About $2 billion worth of BTC was moved, and BTC dropped from nearly 70,000 to below 67,000 that day, which did scare some people off, but the price had already fallen before the transfer.
August 2024: 10,000 BTC transferred into Coinbase Prime, and BTC dropped from 61,000 to 59,000 that day.
The key point: The main price drop happened before the transfer, so the blame was almost misplaced again.
December 2024: About $1.9 billion worth of BTC transferred into Coinbase Prime, the price briefly fell after the news, but three days later BTC broke through $100,000 for the first time.
My view: Large transfers are worth monitoring, but transfers into exchanges could also be custody-related. Whether there is a real sell-off afterward and whether the market can absorb it are the real points.
The wallet just moved, and your position is already gone.
Whether the government actually sold or not is still unknown, but you definitely sold 😂The U.S. government indeed holds 319,000 BTC, but about 70% of these are not considered "truly its own strategic assets."
The slogan during the Trump era was:
BTC in the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) will not be sold.
However, recent large transfers over the past few nights have startled the market—
-
On October 8, the U.S. government transferred out 12,267 BTC related to the Bitfinex hacker case, worth over $1 billion;
- Two nights prior, about 9,261 BTC flowed to Coinbase Prime;
- The market briefly suspected: Is the U.S. secretly selling?
But the truth is not that simple.
The 2025 executive order clearly states:
Only BTC that has "completed confiscation procedures and has clear ownership" enters the strategic reserve and is, in principle, not sold;
Assets involved in victim restitution, litigation disputes, or auxiliary confiscation can be legally transferred, held in custody, or even disposed of.
In other words, these coins are nominally on U.S. government addresses, but the rights do not fully belong to the U.S.
It’s not a "Trump betrayal of the no-sale promise," but the market confusing "BTC on government addresses" with "strategic reserve BTC."
Conclusion:
Strategic reserve BTC: not sold proactively.
Seized/disputed BTC: returned or held in custody as appropriate.
Recent on-chain activity = legal procedures, not a policy shift. Last night my hand trembled slightly when setting the stop loss, but this morning I realized it was an unnecessary act of filial piety. During the intraday bottoming, $UNI showed weak rebound and obvious resistance above, so I shorted around 9.126. At that time, everyone was still watching, and I just said to wait for confirmation, don’t rush. Now at 7.354, the short position is +971.4%, the wait was worth it.😅
Panic comes from lack of planning, losses come from overthinking.
This drop wasn’t violent, but the rhythm was right, and the profit was held out. Take what you should when shorting; those on board should be waking up smiling. The earlier hesitation was real, but coming out of it feels really good.
First, close 80%, pocket the big part, and keep the remaining 20% at cost price for protection. Let profits run if it continues to drop, and don’t give back profits if it rebounds. Take profits when it’s time.
For friends who haven’t gotten in yet, listen to me: now is not the time to chase shorts. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, I will give a signal.🔥
$BNB $ETH #以太坊Glamsterdam升级登陆Sepolia测试网 $ETH
gas limit raised to 200 million, no change at all on mainnet.
▪️ On 10/6, Glamsterdam activated on the Sepolia testnet, a critical test before mainnet launch
▪️ Two main threads: ePBS separates proposers and block builders into the protocol
▪️ The other is BALs block-level access lists, supporting parallel state reads and transaction verification
▪️ Sepolia's gas limit increased from about 60 million to 200 million — only applicable to the testnet
▪️ Mainnet gas limit remains unchanged; activation times for Hoodi and mainnet are still undetermined
▪️ ETH around 2,560 on 10/8, all four short-term moving averages broken downwards
The divergence is not about how fast the upgrade is, but whether testnet parameters can be directly applied to mainnet — you can restart in the lab, but not in production.
gas limit tripled, the computational capacity per block triples, and memory and bandwidth requirements for validating nodes rise accordingly. The mainnet must first ensure enough nodes can keep up; this threshold is set by the slowest machines in the network.
Direction to watch — first check Hoodi's schedule, then see if the mainnet gas limit moves.$ZEC I don't know if I should set a stop-loss point before going to sleep tonight, worried it might cascade like last night and take everything away!
Watching the big players' positions, I quietly put down my phone and fell into deep contemplation. Is this the gap? They remain calm through daily fluctuations of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Is this the level I strive to reach!
And me? Holding tens of dollars with a margin of a little over a hundred, a few dollars' fluctuation scares me to death. I watch the liquidation price trembling every day, ready to take shelter under the overpass anytime. They hold positions worth tens to millions of dollars like it's a game, while I cry and complain over a few dollars.
At this moment, I finally understand, what I lack is not skill, but capital! A big heart! The confidence to "still joke around after losing twenty thousand dollars!" I also want one day to be like the big players, holding an 800% floating loss without blinking, calmly saying: "No worries, I can still hold." Because behind it is strong financial backing, not afraid of liquidation!SOL finally pulled back from around 121 to 109.7, reducing the unrealized loss from over 1,400 points to -307.24%. This time it really looks much better 😮💨 The short position opened at 106.43 is still active, and it's already a partial position; the target of 100 remains unchanged.
In the past few days, the funding side has, for the first time, consistently sided with the bears. Farside data shows that the SOL spot ETF has experienced multiple net outflows since September 30: -$12.5 million on September 30, -$1.1 million on October 1, -$9.2 million on October 5, -$3.7 million on the 6th, -$4.8 million on the 7th, and again -$3.5 million on the 8th. In other words, the previous continuous subscription momentum has indeed been interrupted.
My own judgment is that this is more meaningful than previous single-day negatives because it’s not just one day’s data but several consecutive withdrawals of funds. Of course, the outflow scale is not yet a panic sell-off; the entire SOL ETF history still shows a net inflow, so I wouldn’t say the trend has completely reversed. More accurately, the strongest incremental buying force from before is at least not as strong now.
Moreover, the broader market is also applying pressure. Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of about $485 million and $244 million on October 7 and 8 respectively, indicating that it’s not just SOL weakening on its own, but the entire crypto market’s risk appetite is cooling down. #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 🔻Structural weakness confirmed!

#BTC现货ETF创近三个半月最大单日净流出
In the past two trading days, the crypto market experienced a rapid decline despite no apparent sudden negative news. BTC fell more than $5,000 from its high, reaching a low around 80400. ETH and SOL also dropped in sync. Over 170,000 liquidations occurred across the market in the last 24 hours, mainly due to concentrated clearing of leveraged positions chasing highs.
This round of decline is not due to a fundamental shift but rather multiple factors resonating on the funding side: the Fed's hawkish minutes and phased ETF outflows are known information, combined with a retreat in geopolitical risk sentiment. Institutional funds collectively withdrew, triggering profit-taking and leveraged position liquidations on the exchange, resulting in a cascading sell-off.
The current market has somewhat recovered but with weak overall momentum. Volume did not significantly increase during the rebound, prices remain suppressed by short-term moving averages, and neither the overhead resistance nor the lower support has been confirmed. The market is in a wait-and-see mode, undergoing a consolidation phase after the decline.
Overall, this is a short-term risk release driven by funding factors. The trend direction is still unclear. Whether a sustained rally can emerge depends on volume recovery and new catalyst signals. #霍尔木兹通航降至两月低位，油价跳涨4% Dropped 5000 dollars in two days, bounced back to 83000 today.

Market sentiment: Greed index 59 — retail investors are still greedy, institutions are running.
Spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of 730 million USD in two days, with 487 million USD outflow on October 7, the worst since June. Over 1 billion USD liquidated in 24 hours, longs were targeted and cleared. Don't just focus on the bearish news; there are noteworthy factors too. This year's director is the Federal Reserve and the Middle East situation. Whether 80400 is the bottom or a consolidation will only be known after the CPI data on October 14.
The most dangerous thing now is not the drop, but thinking the drop is over.

The leader has something to say
The treasury is still increasing holdings, but there is a key signal that cannot be ignored.
Tom Lee from BitMine said at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that ETH holdings should be capped at 5% of the total supply as a hard limit. BitMine currently holds 6.016 million ETH, with a total supply of about 120 million; 5% is 6 million. It's almost at the limit.
This means the largest ETH treasury company will stop buying. BitMine's previous continuous accumulation was an important support for ETH spot demand. Now that they clearly state no further expansion, ETH loses a key buyer. This has little impact on BTC but is structurally bearish for ETH. ETH ETFs are already seeing outflows, and with treasuries stopping purchases, it will be harder for ETH to strengthen in the short term.
This week, Strategy only bought 334 BTC at an average price of 85,839, while spending $176 million to repurchase STRC preferred shares. Less money was spent on buying coins, more on repurchasing preferred shares. Cash is primarily used to optimize capital structure, not for reckless accumulation. The treasury model is diverging and weakening.
On the market, BTC rose 1.54%, ETH rose 0.72%, with limited rebound strength. ETFs saw a net outflow of $487 million yesterday, the largest since June 25. The 30-year US Treasury yield is 5.7%, oil prices remain high, and macro pressure persists.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC rebounded sharply from the low of 82423.0 to 83386.5 within 3 minutes, then pulled back again, currently priced at 82975.3. The short-term has completed a round of bottoming and recovery; after the rebound touched the upper resistance, it entered a volatile pullback, with bulls and bears battling again.
The key now is whether the resistance at 83386.5 can be broken. After the price rose from the low point, it encountered resistance and pulled back at 83386.5. The bullish rebound momentum has weakened, and it has not yet broken the previous high. It still belongs to a corrective phase after the decline and has not yet turned strong again.
The levels are very clear. Above, 83386.5 is the current strong short-term resistance. Only by effectively holding above this level will the rebound continue to expand upward; below, the first support is at 82750, and further down is the low at 82423.0. Once 82750 is broken, this rebound will be declared a failure and will retest the lower lows.
Regarding positions, long positions should be held with a stop loss placed below 82423.0. Do not add to longs just because of this rebound, nor close positions immediately on a slight pullback after resistance. Whether this correction can turn into a new upward trend depends mainly on breaking through the 83386.5 resistance level. #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 #BTC现货ETF创近三个半月最大单日净流出 #美CFTC推进加密市场规则，SEC拟调整托管框架 Demand for 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds may be increasing, but...
This view differs somewhat from that of Frank's teacher. Frank believes that the subscription multiple for 30-year U.S. Treasuries is 2.54, higher than the average of previous issuances, which indeed suggests that demand for 30-year Treasuries might be growing.
However, the voting multiple in October was lower than in September. Moreover, the reference value of the investment multiple is generally limited, since a lot of funds may bid at very high yields, but these are still counted in the total subscription amount.
In reality, the winning bid yields are basically close to the pre-issuance yields, with a difference of only 0.001 percentage points, which can be ignored.
Observing the yields on 30-year U.S. Treasury issuances, they still show an upward trend, and the increase is accelerating.
Therefore, the risks associated with U.S. Treasuries should not be overlooked.The recent ZEC market movement is driven by three core logics: privacy demand, institutional product expectations, and quantum security narrative. However, based on the latest trend, the market has begun to reprice. 1. Fundamentals: The privacy sector still holds long-term value As AI's ability to analyze on-chain data improves, the risk of addresses and transaction behaviors being correlated and identified is increasing. Zcash's shielded transactions can enhance financial privacy, thus regaining market attention. Currently, nearly 29% of ZEC supply has entered the shielded pool.  Additionally, the development team is advancing quantum resistance-related features, aiming to provide related payment support by January 2027. However, the actual implementation depends on development progress, so the roadmap should not be considered as already realized positive news.  2. Short term: Capital outflow is the main current pressure On October 8, ZEC once dropped to about $1113, with a single-day decline exceeding 10%; on October 9, it rebounded to around $1220 but has not fully recovered previous losses. The Grayscale Zcash ETF also experienced continuous capital outflows, and derivatives open interest declined simultaneously, indicating some funds are exiting or reducing leverage.  This means the current rebound does not necessarily indicate a new upward trend has started. 3. Key levels to watch next? • **Around $1200:** Short-term observation zone, watch if it can stabilize effectively. • **$1280–$1300:** Resistance area that needs to be reclaimed for a rebound. • **$1110–$1120:** Recent lows$BCH has dropped from around 322 to 268.5, with several rebounds in between failing to change the downward momentum. Especially after breaking below 300, the 4-hour chart has continuously closed with bearish candles, and each rebound has been weaker than the last. In this kind of market, predicting the direction in advance is indeed more important than chasing the price.
The short position opened near 300 is currently at a price of 274, with unrealized profits exceeding 4 times. The main consideration for opening this position was that after the previous high-level consolidation ended, the price continuously broke key supports, and rebounds consistently failed to reclaim the lost areas, making the bearish trend increasingly clear.
Although the 1-hour MACD has briefly formed a golden cross, the red bars have noticeably shortened, and the KDJ is turning down again, indicating that the rebound strength is weakening. The 4-hour MACD remains below the zero line, and the bearish pattern has not changed for now.
However, there was already a rebound near 268.5, so a continued short-term decline may not be smooth sailing. There is repeated contention around 274; if it breaks below 272.5, it may test 268.5 again. If the rebound never surpasses 280, bears still hold the advantage. The market has already moved through most of the trend, and the remaining profits will be left to the market to decide. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 Last night I couldn't sleep, staring at my phone wallet for a long time.
Just that string of numbers, staring for half an hour, haha, it seems like I've had a sixth sense since I was a kid.
Then this morning I came across a message,
An AI model tried to solve problems that mathematicians around the world haven't solved yet.
It tried 4,000 problems in one go and produced 722 papers.
Just the quantity alone is already intimidating.
But what really gave me chills was something else.
Why is Bitcoin secure?
Not because the passwords are set to be complex.
It's because it posed an arithmetic problem that humans can't solve.
Others only know your wallet address but can't calculate the key to access the funds.
Everyone has used it this way for decades without suspicion.
But what if AI can figure it out?
To be precise, it means calculating your private key from your Bitcoin address.
Someone has now come forward with a heavy statement:
We might lose public-key cryptography.
This person is cryptographer Matthew Green, who warned that artificial intelligence might weaken public-key cryptography.
It's not just about coins.
Bank transfers, your login passwords, all encrypted communications rely on the same system.
But I have to say something in reverse.
Don't rush to smash your wallet.
Because so far, no one has really broken it.
Even if some difficulty is reduced, ordinary hackers won't be the ones to do it.
Because Bitcoin has been the most expensive target on the entire network for years.
It still remains one of the most valuable targets.
And it's not valuable because it was cracked,⚠️ZEC violent pullback, AAVE defies the trend to hold key support
$ZEC｜-10.6% Current price 1187
Yesterday the 1250 lifeline was broken, moving toward 1150. Previously, it rose from below 1000 to 1600, a 60% increase. This round is the first large-scale profit-taking, but the underlying privacy coin narrative remains intact.
Support at 1169, break below targets 1112; resistance at 1195, 1222, daily EMA50 at 1150.
7-day outlook: Holding 1150, the market stabilizes with potential rebound to 1300-1350; a confirmed break below 1150 invalidates this uptrend, targeting 1050.
Intraday range 1169-1222, stop loss at 1150. Strategy: Pullback is slightly bullish, wait for stabilization signal at 1169.
$AAVE｜-4.6% Current price 166
The 165 lifeline is barely held, among 14 coins it is relatively resistant to decline, with positive 7-day returns. Pendle capital rollover test passed smoothly, Aavenomics 3.0 burn expectations provide a floor.
165-170 is key platform + EMA50 support; resistance at 175-178, breakout targets 185, funding rate favors bulls.
7-day outlook: Holding 165 targets 175-185; break below 158 targets 150.
Intraday range 163-171, stop loss at 160. Strategy: Slightly bullish, can buy low at 165-168, but must consider overall market conditions. Bitcoin plunged from the dreamlike 87,000 to the reality of 80,400, Ethereum free-fell from 2,777 to 2,405, with $1.1 billion liquidated and 180,000 people's chips vanished into thin air.
Some ask, why chase longs even knowing it will drop? Because instinct always outruns reason. Panic is immediate, greed triggers in seconds, while "knowing and doing as one" requires you to hold back when blood is flowing and restrain your heart when the fire is blazing.
This round of sell-off was a multi-hit resonance: hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve, soaring US Treasury yields, and government wallet movements. You understood all the bearish factors, yet still bottom-fished during the decline—this isn’t a cognition issue, it’s a human nature issue.
The market never lacks smart people; it lacks those who can control themselves. Waiting for the trend to speak for itself is far more reliable than scripting the market.

#9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 A chart to understand the DOGE ecosystem: 14 projects, 5 major tracks, all fees paid in DOGE
Many people still associate DOGE with MEME coins, suitable only for speculation and transfers. With the launch of DogeOS testnet, the native DOGE ecosystem has taken shape, covering 5 major tracks and 14 projects, including DeFi, stablecoins, prediction markets, GameFi, and underlying infrastructure.
The biggest highlight: all ecosystem contract interactions consume DOGE as the unified fee. The DeFi sector includes DEX, lending, perpetuals, and options; USDoge supports minting stablecoins backed by DOGE collateral; meanwhile, there are supporting chain games, launchpads, and native wallet payment gateways.
DogeOS adds EVM capabilities to DOGE, breaking the previous limitation of no smart contracts and creating sustained on-chain consumption demand for DOGE.
However, risks must be viewed objectively: currently, the vast majority of projects are in the testnet phase and have not yet launched on mainnet. The ecosystem's TVL and real user base are relatively small, and implementation remains uncertain. DOGE's market remains highly tied to the overall market and community sentiment, making it a typical sentiment-driven MEME coin. Avoid heavy speculative positions.

Yesterday's prediction "Break below 87 to target 84" realized, retracing 14% from the historical high.
3.75 million tokens unlocked for OTC distribution, half of the chips still in spot wallets, forming a top suspension bearish pressure; however, the protocol's daily revenue ranks first in the industry, Bloomberg pricing integration and Grayscale staking ETF advancement provide fundamental support.

Intraday 0.0830-0.0870, stop loss at 0.0815. Strategy: Weak trend, reduce positions at 0.088 on rebound, avoid catching falling knives. The rebound near 1700 probably made many people think $SNDK was about to take off again, but the market turned and fell, failing to hold even 1640, with the price approaching 1600 again. Those who chased at the high point are indeed feeling bad now.
This short position was opened around 1726.4, with the current mark price at 1603.1, and the floating profit has reached 5.35 times. The initial bearish view was mainly because after the high at 1806, the four-hour chart showed consecutively lower rebound highs, and several pullbacks failed to reverse the downtrend.
Especially this rebound, after the hourly KDJ formed a death cross at a high level, it quickly dropped; the MACD red bars gradually shortened and turned green again, combined with volume-increasing decline, indicating short-term selling pressure remains active. The four-hour MACD also stays below the zero line, and the weak pattern has not changed.
However, the area near 1600 is already a sensitive short-term zone, and the previous low at 1586.3 may be tested again. If it breaks and cannot quickly recover, there is more room below. Conversely, if it climbs back above 1640, beware of a rebound caused by short covering. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC纪要公布，多数官员倾向再加息 $TRUMP is a low-circulation bet that no one is taking, hovering around $1.83, down 11% in seven days, with a market cap of 5.1 billion, down 97% from its ATH of 73. The most critical issue with this coin is its token distribution.
Circulating supply is 282 million, total supply 1 billion, only 28% unlocked, with the remaining 72% held internally and by the team. The contract is on Solana, a typical low-circulation, high FDV setup.
20% is truly circulating in the market, 80% is internal tokens. This structure means any price pump is just paving the way for internal selling, and all the buyers are retail investors. Without new catalysts, it purely relies on political meme sentiment to hold.
1.83 is the 24-hour low and also support; if broken, look for 1.74; above, 1.88 is the intraday high. RSI is 37.5, weak but not extreme. Low price doesn’t mean cheap; FDV still has nearly $19 billion hanging overhead.
Internal unlocking is long-term selling pressure; don’t be fooled by "it’s dropped too much". Low circulation doesn’t mean cheap; it’s a withdrawal code prepared for insiders. $MRNA has been thinking about a question recently: Could Moderna in Shanghai experience a 'Tesla moment' for the pharmaceutical industry? When Tesla moved its factory to Shanghai back then, many probably didn't expect that it would change not only Tesla itself. A factory comes in, suppliers follow, talent comes along, processes are introduced, local companies start benchmarking, and eventually the entire industry chain is reshaped. Moderna is somewhat similar. In 2023, Moderna started building China's first production base in Shanghai, with an investment of about 3.6 billion yuan. According to the disclosed plan at the time, this site is not only for vaccine production but also involves R&D and personalized new antigen products. (Perception Shanghai) At that time, mRNA had not yet truly taken off domestically. But looking back now, things have already started to change. In August this year, Moderna and Merck announced the Phase III results of INTerpath-001. This is the first time personalized mRNA tumor therapy has achieved positive Phase III results. It is not a vaccine made in a bottle to sell to everyone, but a vaccine designed based on mutations in the patient's tumor. (Moderna News) This is where the real interest lies. If such products enter China in the future, it may bring more than just Moderna selling a few more drugs. Behind it is a whole system: sequencing, tumor samples, antigen screening, mRNA design, original📊4-Hour Brief｜SOL Leveraged Longs Liquidated, OKB Tests Neckline Support

Influenced by the overall market pullback (BTC falling from 83499 to 82984), ZEC triggered concentrated profit-taking by previous short sellers after touching the 1200.55 integer level, passively pushing the price up to around 1221.
From a technical perspective, the MA5, MA10, and MA20 are tightly converged in the 1217-1224 range, and the volume during the rebound is extremely thin (only 7.84k), indicating a lack of incremental capital entering the market. This rally is essentially a "dead cat bounce" and a brief emotional repair, not a trend reversal.
In the vacuum period of the bulls and bears struggle, 1200 becomes a short-term key anchor point. If the overall market fails to break out with volume, as short-term buying power wanes, ZEC is very likely to end the emotional repair and test 1200 or even lower again. Currently, it is a quiet period before a market shift, and the future direction still depends on the guidance of the overall market volume.A sharp rebound does not mean the bearish trend has ended; floating profits shrinking also does not mean you must close your position immediately. @歐哥's clearest stance in this situation is: temporarily hold existing short positions, but don't rush to add more, and definitely don't flip to long just because of a short rally. What he is waiting for is not the account numbers looking better again, but clear trend evidence from the market.
First, look at $BTC. He is discussing the move from around 80,000 rebounding to about 83,500. After the initial drop, the price has recovered a significant portion of the decline, naturally putting pressure on short holders. But in his framework, judging a reversal is not just about how much it has risen, but also about who is driving this move and whether the original entry logic has been overturned.
His daily short position basis remains the expectation of a pullback after a bearish divergence at the top, not a small drop on the one-hour or four-hour chart. He repeatedly emphasizes that short-term trading and daily trend trading, though both called "shorting," are not targeting the same segment of the market. If the plan was to profit from the first leg, then choosing to exit upon a rebound is not wrong; if the plan was to wait for a larger-scale pullback, you cannot replace the original decision criteria with small-scale fluctuations temporarily.
This is not a "hold and you will profit" statement. @歐哥 states the cost upfront: he has accepted that these short positions may return to near break-even or even ultimately incur losses. He is willing to bear this risk in exchange for the potential of a larger pullback, but this is his choice and does not mean everyone should endure the same drawdown. Those who have not thought through the risks in advance are most likely to suffer when profits shrink I've read the JPMorgan report twice, and what I really want to say isn't about SpaceX.
It's about Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T — the three companies that have been making easy money, but now someone might come knocking.
But note, the report itself adds: the short-term threat is limited.
In other words, the story is being told, but the real fight is still far off.
What I'm watching isn't telecom stocks, but the signal behind this.
The spectrum SpaceX holds is basically a ticket to enter wireless communication. If they really get involved, it just means one more player sharing the pie.
Going from three to four players, a price war is bound to come up sooner or later.
But what does this have to do with crypto?
Not much, so don't force the connection.
If anything, this narrative of a “new player entering to shake things up” has been playing out in every circle lately.
What’s really worth watching is whether SpaceX will actually step in or just hold the spectrum as leverage.
Right now, I'm leaning towards waiting and seeing.
This kind of news has more emotional value than actual value.
I've chased these “giants disrupting the industry” stories before, only to find out it was my positions getting disrupted.
#SpaceX拟购频谱拓展移动通信 $AT SOL at $110, are you going to buy the dip?
On-chain active addresses surged to 1.88 million, a 13-month high, stablecoin supply broke through $15 billion — yet the price dropped from 123 to 110 in a week, and ETFs still saw a net outflow of $22 million. The price is falling, but the chain is bustling. Is this a golden pit where the main players are quietly accumulating, or a trap where institutions are offloading amid the hype?
Let's look at the surface: SOL perpetual contracts on Binance are around $110, down 2%-4% in 24 hours, daily range 105.7-112.8. Market cap is $65 billion, ranked 7th, contract open interest around 900 million, long-short ratio 1.8, funding rate near zero. Major public chains are retracing, not a small coin crash.
But the candlestick tells you one thing: from the October 2 high of 123.8, it dropped about 12%, price stuck 7% below the 20-day moving average, daily RSI 36-47 — neutral to weak, not yet extremely oversold. 110 is not a new starting point, but a midpoint after losing 120.
First: The busier the chain, the more the price falls — this is not a contradiction, it's a signal.
On October 9, unique active addresses were about 1.88 million, a 13-month high. Network growth has doubled since early September. Stablecoin supply exceeds $15 billion, spot DEX daily volume is $2.2 billion, fees over $10 million a day.
Price is falling, but the chain is still busy.
What you see is "strong fundamentals, price oversold." Here's another interpretation: on-chain heat is the afterglow of the previous rally, not the engine for the next one.
New highs in active addresses don't mean new money is coming to buy the dip — it could just be old players frequently rotating, farming volume, airdrop hunters running. What really matters is not who is using the chain, but who is buying the coin.
The painful truth: ETFs are running. In early October, the US spot SOL ETF had a net outflow of about $22 million, giving back all the inflows from September. Fidelity's FSOL application is still in progress, but that's a future story, not this week's buying.
Second: Institutions are active, but money isn't coming in.
Jump Crypto staked another 4.54 million SOL via Firedancer wallet, worth about $50 million, client deployment is increasing. Securitize launched tokenized stocks of Apple, Nvidia, Tesla on Solana.
Sounds impressive? Staking is not buying. Staking locks up existing coins to earn interest, not scooping from the market. Institutions are "building," but not "buying" — these are two different things.
More intense: September's cumulative DEX volume exceeded $3 trillion, but TVL shrank with the coin price. Stablecoin supply didn't retreat, meaning USD capital hasn't fled, but SOL-denominated assets are shrinking — in plain terms: the coin price dropped, on-chain asset nominal value dropped, but people remain.
This is not a crash, it's a slow, boiling-frog style deleveraging.
Third: Macro is unsupportive, SOL is the top victim of high beta.
Bitcoin fell from $86,000+ in early October to $82,000-$83,000, dominance rising to 59%-60%. The Fed raised rates to 3.75%-4.00% in September, minutes hawkish, rate cuts far off.
Fear & Greed Index at 59 — still greedy, not surrendering.
What does this mean? The bottom hasn't arrived. The real bottom is when the fear index drops to 10-20, the whole network curses, communities go silent, no one talks coins. Now is a pullback in the greed zone, the main players still have room to sell.
On October 8, SOL dropped from 117 to 108, following BTC's deleveraging rhythm. SOL is a high-beta chain: BTC down 1%, SOL down 3%; BTC sideways, SOL slowly declines. This is not trash, it's its DNA.
Long-short showdown, judge for yourself:
On one side:
Active addresses at 1.88 million, a 13-month high, real on-chain activity
Stablecoin supply over $15 billion, USD capital hasn't left the chain
Jump staked 4.54 million, Firedancer progressing
Tokenized stocks launched, RWA narrative accelerating
Down 62% from ATH 293, valuation extremely compressed
On the other side:
ETF net outflow $22 million, institutional funds withdrawing
Fed hawkish, rates at 3.75%-4.00%
BTC dominance rising, altcoins bleeding
Fear & Greed 59 still greedy, no surrender yet
Technical bearish alignment, 110 is just a pause
Key level 110, life-and-death line at 105.7.
Strong support: 105.7 (today's low) → break to 100 → then 95.8 (30-day low)
Current zone: 109-111 (the 110 you see is a rebound pause, not confirmed buying)
Near resistance: 112.5-113 (today's high, failure to reclaim means continuation down)
Strong resistance: 116-120 (October 7-8 break zone + 20-day MA 118)
Without volume to reclaim 120, all rebounds are just corrections, not reversals.
Trading strategy
Short-term long:
Wait for 106-107 pullback to hold, then 1-hour reclaim above 109.5 before entering. Stop loss below 104.8, first target 112.5, second 116. Entering at 110 now? 112.5 above is a wall, risk-reward not enough.
Breakout long:
4-hour volume breakout closing above 113.5, then target 117-120. Stop loss below 109. No volume fake breakout, no follow.
Short-term short:
Light short on resistance 112.5-114 with weak volume, stop loss above 115.5, target 107/106. 110 already away from today's low, not suitable to chase short.
Swing:
Mid-term logic is active addresses, stablecoins, Firedancer. But ETFs still outflowing. More comfortable position is volume contraction and stabilization at 106, or daily close reclaiming 120. If 105.7 daily breaks, mid-term bulls pause, wait for 100 or even 96 to reassess.
Only if ETF net inflow resumes + price stabilizes above 116, can this retracement be considered a pre-main rally consolidation.
SOL now is like ETH in early 2024 —
ETF approved, institutions bought, price dropped. Everyone called it "trash," then doubled months later.
But one difference: ETH's fear index was already down to 20 then, SOL is still at 59 now.
The busier the chain, the more the price falls. You think it's oversold, but actually the main players are rotating.
