[ETF hemorrhaging $910 million, holding firm at 80,000]
A divergence worth noting: Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen net outflows of about $910 million over two consecutive weeks, with a cumulative net outflow of $615 million in October. Yet BTC price remains near 82,000, showing no signs of panic-driven breakdown.
1. What happened? Funds are withdrawing, but the price hasn't collapsed. More subtly, the current price is already below the average buy-in cost of $82,300 estimated by ETF investors.
2. Why pay attention? This means that funds entering via ETFs over the past two months are overall at an unrealized loss. If redemptions accelerate, the 80,000 level will face a real stress test.
3. Which observation is supported? Currently, the evidence favors "stock accumulation" rather than a "trend reversal." Funding rates remain positive, open interest is declining, leveraged longs are still paying to hold positions, but the continued ETF outflows indicate incremental buying has not returned.
Next, focus on two key points: whether 80,000 can continue to hold, and whether ETF outflows show signs of convergence. Whichever loosens first may determine the starting point of the next market phase. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. $BTC $ETH 10.19 Pre-market Overview | The 80,000 Threshold's Long-Short Grinder
Market: $BTC at 81,760, $ETH at 2,394. The weekend held the 80,000 psychological barrier, currently in a weak recovery phase, but no sign of reversal yet.
Capital Flow: Last week, BTC ETF net outflow was 228.6 million (marginally narrowing), ETH net outflow was 320 million (BlackRock alone accounts for 93%). Money is still flowing out, but BTC selling pressure has clearly weakened — a positive signal.
Liquidation Data: 24h total network liquidations at 273 million, longs account for 83.49%. ETH suffered the most, single coin liquidation at 107 million. Leveraged longs are undergoing systemic cleansing.
On-chain Signals: ETH whales are buying 166,000 coins against the trend, staking rate hits a new high; BTC whales have stopped transferring to exchanges; stablecoins net inflow of 30.5 billion on standby. Smart money is accumulating, bullets are on the account.
Macro: October rate hike probability falls to 15%, marginal easing but lacking reversal catalysts. Don't expect macro to drive a short-term rally. $ZEC
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 $xNFLX 奈飞当下的处境，用一句话概括：订阅增长的“旧故事”确实在放缓，但广告业务的“新故事”正在从概念走向可验证的规模化变现。关键在于，这两件事同时为真，而非互相否定。 增长放缓是真实的，但需要准确归因 2026年Q2营收125.6亿美元、同比增长13%，连续第二个季度放缓，全年营收指引510—514亿美元，增速落在13%—14%区间。更令市场不安的是参与度指标：上半年会员观看时长仅增长2%，而同期YouTube在美国电视观看中的占比达到14.2%，是奈飞7.8%的近两倍。 但这里有一个容易被混淆的判断：奈飞放缓的主要对手，不再是Disney+或HBO Max，而是YouTube、TikTok这类免费、无限供给的注意力平台。这意味着奈飞面对的不是“流媒体内战”，而是一场关于用户屏幕时间的结构性竞争。在这个框架下，单纯用“订阅用户增速”来衡量奈飞，本身就已经不完全适配它的新增长逻辑。 广告业务是真实的第二曲线，且进展快于多数人预期 广告业务的规模正在快速抬升。2026年广告收入目标约30亿美元，较2025年的约15亿美元接近翻倍；广告主数量超$BNB Massive Burn Implemented: All Good News Priced In, or a Bull Trap by the Main Players?
The more prosperous the news, the more caution is needed in the market. The $1.197 billion burn amount is a solid positive, but the long-term capital flow is completely opposite.
Data Analysis:
On the 1-hour chart, BNB rebounded from 706 to around 725. However, the capital flow shows a severe volume-price divergence: a net outflow of 229 million U over 15 days, and 93.01 million U outflow over 7 days. Currently, 77% of the chips are highly concentrated, accompanied by a "short-term inflow, long-term outflow" divergence signal. This indicates the short-term rebound is driven by retail and speculative funds, while the long-term main players are using the burn news to distribute at highs.
Main Players' Intent:
The liquidation map shows a dense short order wall in the 736-746 range above. The main players will likely push the price up to around 736 to trigger a short squeeze, creating a false breakout to attract chasing buyers, then reverse to dump the price.
Trading Strategy: Avoid chasing the price at the current 725 level.
For holders: It is recommended to reduce long positions at the 730-735 resistance zone to lock in profits.
For non-holders: Wait for a pullback to the 710-715 support zone to stabilize, or lightly short on the right side if it rebounds near 736. #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 The largest ZEC bull has just made a move again!
In the past three hours, this mysterious whale directly dropped $7.2 million, adding 6,126 ZEC in one go, instantly increasing his holdings by 57.5%. Notice the detail: he did not choose to aggressively buy at market price but used the TWAP algorithm to accumulate in batches, locking the average price at $1,176. Currently, he holds nearly 17,000 ZEC, with a total value approaching $20 million.
What’s most intriguing is that this whale is currently at an unrealized loss of over $300,000. But he seems completely unfazed; the liquidation price is as low as $838, providing a very thick safety buffer from the current price, making his position rock solid. He started building his position in July and has held firm since establishing it in September without selling a single coin. Besides ZEC, he also invested in NEAR and PUMP. This kind of resilience, ignoring short-term fluctuations, reveals the true nature of a top-tier hunter. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ October 19 QCP Analysis: Last week, Bitcoin fluctuated narrowly between $80,000 and $83,000, with the $80,000 support holding firm, outperforming pressured tech stocks. On the macro front, the decline in US Treasury yields is favorable for risk assets, but funds have not yet flowed massively into the crypto market. Option volatility is relatively low, and short-term prices may continue to remain locked within the current range. Going forward, if deleveraging spreads in the stock market, the $80,000 support will be tested; if the US dollar weakens, a decisive break of the $80,000-$88,000 range could trigger intense volatility.
Key Points Version (for quick reading)
Market Status: Bitcoin fluctuated between $80,000 and $83,000 last week, with the $80,000 support solid and showing more resilience than tech stocks.
Macro Environment: The drop in US Treasury yields provides support; funds rotated from the AI sector to defensive sectors but have not massively entered the crypto market.
Options Signal: Implied volatility is below average, with market makers currently keeping prices locked within the current range.
Key Follow-up: On the downside, watch if the $80,000 support can hold; on the upside, a valid breakout of the $80,000-$88,000 range will trigger a sharp price revaluation.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ $BTC $ETH $SOL This time Japan is not discussing crypto speculation, but about putting the entire nation's wallet on-chain.
Japan's Financial Services Agency released the minutes of the first meeting of the "AI Era On-Chain Finance Forum": the Minister of Finance is in charge, with the Digital Agency, Ministry of Finance, central bank, and bankers association all present, and a mid-term report and roadmap due early next year.
Three concrete actions: First, government bonds on-chain — Ministry of Finance held an expert research meeting on October 8 with three proposals: government bond collateral fund beneficiary rights on-chain, existing settlement switched to blockchain accounting, and native issuance of on-chain government bonds. On August this year, the 10-year government bond yield surged to 2.95%, the highest since 1996, and debt pressure is forcing Tokyo to find new buyers. Second, stablecoin subsidies — the Digital Agency is researching issuing public funds via stablecoins and tokenized deposits, with designated uses for childcare and food subsidies, effectively installing programmable valves on fiscal spending. Third, central bank DLT sandbox — the Bank of Japan is testing direct on-chain settlement of central bank demand deposits.
My view: While Europe and the US are still debating "what kind of asset crypto is," Japan has skipped the debate and moved straight to implementation. Government bonds, subsidies, and central bank settlements all going on-chain means digitizing sovereign credit from start to finish — this is Asia's first time incorporating on-chain finance into a national project.
The official risks are also listed: once government bonds trade 7×24 hours, a crash will be harder to control.
#JapanFSAPublishesOnChainFinanceForumMinutes
#Japan #Stablecoin To pour some cold water first, I won't directly take the model topping the call rankings as a positive sign for the crypto AI sector. MiniMax's official short video captioned "Welcome back, Space Bunny" is seen as claiming the anonymous model Space Bunny; since its launch in late September, it topped the daily token call volume charts on OpenRouter and OpenCode within 3 days, and the M3.1 Flash official version is also about to be released.
I am more cautious about the market conflating "model popularity" with "value of related tokens." There are two reasons: the Tokens in token call volume refer to the text units processed by the model, not on-chain tokens, so no matter how impressive the rankings are, you cannot directly infer which coin will benefit. Call volume also does not equal commercial quality; without disclosure of paid retention, call costs, and revenue, I cannot judge sustained demand based solely on ranking surges, nor am I willing to prematurely calculate revenue for the entire crypto AI sector.
Of course, being bearish on this interpretation does not mean denying the model's strength. If after the official release it can continuously retain paying users and show verifiable on-chain product adoption and revenue transmission, I will change my view; these are my observation conditions, not events that have already occurred. Regarding this news's impact on the crypto AI sector, are you bullish or bearish? Please explain your reasons, especially clarifying how model call volume translates into token value.今天BTC重新站上82,000美元上方，早间一度接近82,900美元。 表面看，行情正在修复。但如果把价格、ETF资金流向和美联储政策放在一起看，会发现一个值得警惕的矛盾： 价格在反弹，机构资金却还没有明显回流。 这意味着，当前上涨究竟是新一轮行情的开始，还是短线资金推动的修复，还需要更多证据。 一、价格在涨，机构资金却在流出 截至目前可查到的最新完整交易日数据，美国现货BTC ETF在10月16日净流出约8,240万美元，最近一周累计净流出约2.286亿美元。 ETH的资金表现更弱，同一周现货ETH ETF净流出约3.2亿美元。 这组数据值得关注。 如果市场已经形成强烈的一致看涨预期，通常希望看到的不只是价格上涨，还有现货需求和机构资金的配合。 当然，ETF流出不代表所有机构都在卖出，更不能单凭一周数据判断中期趋势已经转空。 但至少说明：这轮反弹还不能简单归因于机构资金全面回归。 二、BTC为什么还能反弹？ 一个重要变量，是市场对美联储下一步行动的预期。 美国9月CPI同比上涨3.7%，通胀压力仍然存在。但最新市场报道显示，交易员对美联储10月28日加息的预期已经明显降温。 市场担心Meta's latest earnings report is quite likely to slightly exceed revenue expectations, with advertising and AI tools still holding up. However, the profit figures will probably look "ugly" due to a one-time legal settlement cost of about $10 billion—don't be scared by the EPS; core earnings excluding this are actually decent.
What truly determines the stock price is not whether it "beats or misses expectations," but how aggressively AI spending burns cash: annual capital expenditures of $130 billion to $145 billion, with free cash flow possibly turning negative. The market's biggest fear is that guidance will be raised further. So the conclusion is: high probability of revenue beating expectations, ugly profits are a "false alarm," and the stock's rise or fall depends entirely on the capital expenditure guidance and how convincingly the AI monetization story is told. #Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期 In the futures market, the term "one lot" can mean very different things depending on the contract multiplier, margin, and risk exposure of different varieties. I see this habit in crypto news as well: first clarify the measurement criteria, then listen to others talk about the market.
Placeholder partner Chris Burniske recently stated that long-term investors should systematically accumulate high-confidence assets rather than repeatedly agonize over entry and exit points. He proposed understanding positions using "relative units": the total supply of ETH is about 120 million, while SOL is about 636 million, roughly 5.3 times that of ETH.
My judgment is that this measurement approach has more discussion value than the qualitative "early bull market" concept, but it cannot be used as a valuation ruler. Having more tokens does not mean a heavier position; using supply as the denominator can indeed correct this intuition. However, network share is not company equity and cannot be directly equated with profit distribution rights. Crypto differs from commodity futures; tokens have their own issuance mechanisms. If the denominator changes, then the share calculated today will also change. This is a limitation I add when understanding this method.
I prefer to treat it as a tool to check position measurement criteria rather than as evidence of market phases. Are there friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? When comparing positions in ETH and SOL, do you look at capital exposure or the proportion of supply? Which better reflects the actual risk you bear? The little lotus just shows its pointed tip, and the air force is already standing on top.
It looks vibrant, but beneath the surface, dark currents surge; a slight carelessness and it will be uprooted.
How many people look at this rebound with joy, thinking the harsh winter is over?
Don't be foolish, open your eyes and look at the market's true colors.
JPMorgan Chase is moving JPM Coin onto Ethereum; such a huge institutional-level positive news should have sent it soaring by now, right?
But look now, even the 2430 level is crossed unsteadily. Why?
Because smart money doesn't catch a falling knife. Retail investors eagerly wait to break even, while the main force is crazily distributing under the cover of the news.
The 89% short position on the right side has actually given the answer.
This is not a crowded short, this is everyone pushing a fallen wall.
I hold a short position at 2444, now steadily securing an 18% profit, with the forced liquidation line ridiculously far away.
At this position, I don't need to guess how much more it will rebound; as long as it dares to linger above 2430, once the volume dries up, I dare to continue adding to my position on the highs.
Always remember, without incremental funds entering the market, all rallies are for a more brutal dump.
The previous low at 2317 below will be tested sooner or later.
Hold your short positions well and wait for the flowers to bloom, but they are just the flowers of the shorts.

#嘉信开放BTC转账，德银布局托管 DropsTab: After the debut of futures on CME, six out of nine crypto assets declined in price over the course of a month. The statistics are interesting in a practical sense because today CME is adding futures for #UNI and #BCH. This expands institutional participants' access to regulated instruments for these assets, but historical data, as we see, shows that the launch of trading itself does not yet mean a price increase. More often, it leads to a correction. According to #DropsTab, the returns of the previous nine assets 30 days after their debut nCT just closed an hourly candle down nearly 8%, with the perpetual contract about 1.66% lower than the spot price.
At 18:00 on OKEx spot, the price dropped from 0.38751 to 0.35762 USD, with a trading volume of approximately 1.21 million USD. At 19:00 Beijing time, the spot price was 0.35692 USD, and the perpetual contract was at 0.351 USD. At 20:00, the funding rate for this period showed -1%, reaching the lower limit set by the interface; the actual settlement at 16:00 was -0.2814%.
My judgment is that bearish demand on the contract side is very strong, with both the discount and negative funding rate pointing in the same direction. However, since the 20:00 settlement has not yet occurred, the -1% rate may change. Treating it as a cost already paid or directly as a rebound signal, both suggest a bearish outlook.
I am more focused on whether the spot price can hold the 18:00 low of 0.35633 USD after the actual settlement at 20:00. If the funding rate remains significantly negative and the price does not make new lows, then watch if the discount can narrow; if the spot continues to decline, selling pressure has not yet eased.
$CT VIX jumped 21.45% in one day, while BTC is hovering around the $80,000 mark. Is your position set up based on "a rebound" or "just surviving"? Last night watching the market, BTC dipped to around 80,621, just a few hundred dollars shy of the round number. This distance is subtle because it’s not "already broken" but "not yet broken," with two emotions tugging at the same price level. ETH weakened in sync, down about 2.15% in 24 hours, currently around $2,374. ETH has always been like a mirror; its weakness indicates this isn’t just BTC’s issue but an overall risk appetite downgrade. The trigger point is actually clear. On October 16, VIX surged 21.45% to 19.99, the S&P closed at 7,659.44, down 1.09%, and the Nasdaq fell 2.15%. Historically, after such a VIX spike, the next Monday saw a drop back 25 times and continued rising 7 times. The numbers look somewhat optimistic, but I want to remind you: this statistic only describes frequency, not magnitude. What really hurts is never the direction but the depth during the process. From a trend phase perspective, it looks more like divergence now rather than a start. The start phase is characterized by low volume pullbacks and decisive buying support; the divergence phase is characterized by repeated tests of the same support and each rebound failing to drive volume. BTC’s back-and-forth friction above 80,000 is a typical example of the latter. This phase is most easily misjudged as "the bottom has appeared," but in fact, neither bulls nor bears have gained decisive control yet. SlightlyOKEx Futures First Year: I Survived Not by Judgment, but by Rules
When I reached one year of trading OKEx Futures, I reviewed my trading records. My account didn’t double, I didn’t have any "enlightenment," and there were even a few trades that still look embarrassingly foolish now. But I’m still at the table, which was something the me from a year ago—who opened positions without stop-losses—could never have imagined.
When I first started with futures, I took the same path as most beginners: thinking I could make money just by looking at a few candlesticks. My first long BTC trade used 20x leverage; I was reluctant to exit when in profit, and a 5% pullback liquidated me. I woke up to find my principal wiped out. It wasn’t much money, but what it taught me was more valuable than any later trade: futures themselves aren’t dangerous; trading futures without rules is what’s dangerous.
At the start of the second year, I set a strict rule for myself: lock in the maximum loss limit first, then talk about making money. #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Bro, what are you doing? The trading volume has surged at least 10 times, and the open interest is also sharply increasing. Could the unlocking on October 23rd be that powerful? The shorts are very rampant. Is there anyone to control the bears!
1. Price plummets + open interest rises
- Price continues to fall, open interest (OI) clearly rises → shorts are actively increasing their positions.
- The main reason is the unlocking expectation on October 23rd + poor liquidity itself, so even a small amount of selling pressure can cause a big drop.
2. Trading volume surges, but both buy and sell volumes are very high
- Both active buying and active selling have exploded to exaggerated levels (selling slightly more).
- This indicates intense trading between bulls and bears: shorts are adding positions to push the price down, bulls are bottom-fishing or holding positions, with heavy back-and-forth turnover.
- It’s not strong net buying, just extremely high turnover rate.
3. Why is the trading volume so exaggerated
- The unlocking expectation causes bulls and bears to preemptively compete.
- Contracts have leverage, so even small funds can generate large trading volumes.
- APR has a small circulating supply and a thin order book, so normal trading looks very exaggerated in the data.
In summary:
The recent big drop is mainly caused by shorts increasing positions under the unlocking expectation. The surge in trading volume is due to intense competition between bulls and bears on a thin order book, not because of a sudden influx of huge capital. Shorts still dominate currently, and high volatility around the unlocking window will likely continue.Busy at work during the day, no time to look closely; at night, I open the market window and scroll to this QCP analysis, and my drowsiness fades a bit 🌙. What keeps me awake is not how big the volatility is, but that the market looks quite stable while the forces behind it may not be moving in the same direction.
QCP states that last week Bitcoin fluctuated between $80,000 and $83,000, with $80,000 forming a solid support; tech stocks continued to be under pressure, while long-term US Treasury bonds strengthened driven by safe-haven demand, and the yield decline provided support for risk assets.
I prefer to interpret this as "there is a buffer, but not enough to breathe easy," rather than taking $BTC's resilience as direct proof of an independent rally. Tech stocks are weak, but Bitcoin hasn’t weakened significantly along with them, which shows relative resistance to pressure, but this alone can’t confirm what will happen next.
The yield decline helps ease pressure on risk assets, but this time it’s also driven by safe-haven demand, so it can’t be directly translated as risk appetite returning. Plus, inflation data remains strong, and Federal Reserve officials’ remarks only cooled rate hike expectations. I think what’s more important now is to observe whether the range can hold, rather than rushing to write a script for a breakout.
A reminder to myself: don’t mistake a temporarily stable market for risk having gone to sleep. Who else is still awake at this hour, watching Bitcoin’s range boundaries or changes in US Treasury yields?Don't mistake survival for system win rate. $ZEC long positions opened at 1053.61, target at 1144.81, +432.79% is the result of "not being wiped out," not proof that "it works every time."
Those middle spikes under 50x leverage should have blown up, but this trade didn't. Holding longs stubbornly is like standing at the profit exit waiting for a stampede; a quick cover/take profit resonance will cause price jumps.
I withdraw my main position, unload leverage to zero, no rolling positions, no chasing breakouts, no switching sides, and no overnight gambling on news. Contracts carry extremely high risk of liquidation. Floating profit is temporary display; only available balance counts for settlement; exiting execution is more respectable than just showing profits. $BTC $ETH #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 There is a detail in MSCI's new regulations that is easy to misinterpret: the removal criteria for existing constituent stocks require looking at the most recent two annual reporting periods.
The announcement states that existing constituent stocks will only be removed if they fail the relevant qualification screening in both of the most recent two annual reporting periods, and MSCI may also use the latest interim report. This should not be understood as immediate removal upon hitting a single indicator, nor should it be interpreted as all companies automatically receiving a two-year grace period starting today.
The former interpretation tends to exaggerate the urgency of forced selling, while the latter tends to underestimate the risk. The data observation period refers to already published financial records, and whether a specific company triggers the conditions needs to be checked item by item.
I can understand Strategy's public opposition to the rules and shareholders' anxiety about potential index fund changes. But rule debates and position judgments must be separated: a company believing it should not be classified this way does not automatically stop the index provider from executing.
For investors in financial treasury stocks, what is more worthwhile now is to clearly understand the screening criteria, buffer arrangements, and the company's existing reports, rather than taking social media claims like "immediately kicked out" or "safe for two years" as conclusions.
The final affected list is planned to be announced on November 11. Before that, what is least lacking is certainty in tone. What truly requires patience is acknowledging that the specific results are still pending. It is normal to worry about risks, but don't let a sentence that omits conditions decide your position for you.
#MSCI新规冲击财库股，Strategy公开反对 Isn't it surreal?
Russia and the US are actually pushing forward a diesel contract, expected to arrive in the US within 15 to 20 days.
On one hand, they are fiercely fighting on the battlefield, on the other, they are bowing their heads to do business. What does this indicate?
Face is not important; votes and inflation are the main concerns. The US is short on oil domestically and can only hold its nose to buy from Russia. This directly exposes the global energy supply chain's weak spot—the gap still exists, just barely patched up.
Yesterday, the PPI exploded to 6.3%, sending rate cut expectations straight into the ICU.
If this batch of diesel arrives smoothly in the US, energy prices might cool down a bit, and inflation data could catch a breather.
But it’s just a breather. This supply chain, patched together by "borrowing oil" from everywhere, simply can't withstand much turmoil.
As long as the energy issue remains a ticking time bomb, the Federal Reserve won't dare loosen the grip of high interest rates.
The 5.6% yield on US Treasuries stands firm, like a super pump, sucking all the liquidity out of the market. Bitcoin is stuck at 84,000, options volatility is at a five-year low, and funds are all watching.
Without liquidity, any rebound is just a castle in the air.
My stance is clear:
Don’t chase any energy concept coins; it’s pure nonsense.
Keep your spot positions solid, don’t gamble on one-sided contracts. During these macro tug-of-wars, the spikes are the harshest.
Hold U tightly in your hand, wait until all these macro landmines are cleared, wait for the market to really crash into a golden pit, then consider stepping in to pick up chips.
The overall environment is bad; being a spectator is the safest.👇

#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #Anthropic plans to raise $60 billion, IPO faces a test Currently, many traders are betting on an independent rebound in the crypto market, with wait-and-see funds awaiting a continuation of the trend
Maji Big Brother's leveraged portfolio maintains a framework of 40x short BTC, 25x long ETH, and 5x short HYPE, with new changes in various profits, losses, and funding fees: BTC short positions' floating profits continue to increase, ETH long positions' floating losses further expand, and HYPE short positions' floating losses have narrowed.
The market generally treats the recent price recovery as a signal of independent strength, but it tends to overlook the transmission of risk appetite from the US stock market. The Nasdaq previously fell sharply, and the tech sector was under pressure. On the 15th, the S&P's rebound was led by defensive sectors rather than a comprehensive recovery in risk appetite. If the Nasdaq stops falling and tech selling pressure eases, while BTC and ETH spot support becomes evident, that will be the signal that this logic is validated.
If a volume breakout occurs later or relevant news is released, the premise of this observation will become invalid.
$BTC $ETH $HYPE $SOL Liquidation Panorama: First Sweep Shorts, Then Squeeze Longs
Across the entire network, $330 million liquidated in 24 hours, 98,145 people liquidated, with $190 million in long positions and $140 million in short positions. $100 million in short liquidations occurred in 12 hours. This rebound first swept out low-position shorts, then after the rally, harvested chasing longs—a typical two-way shakeout.
$BTC: $63.93 million liquidated in 24 hours, with $36.02 million longs and $27.91 million shorts. $21.69 million short liquidations in 12 hours, mainly positions cleared during the uptrend; $2.74 million liquidated in 1-hour short-term trades, with longs accounting for $2.44 million. Price surged then pulled back, just wiping out short stop losses, then started squeezing high-position chasing longs, increasing divergence.
$ETH: $110 million liquidated in 24 hours, volume larger than BTC. $42.03 million longs and $67.82 million shorts. $48.31 million short liquidations in 12 hours, showing very strong short clearing pressure. ETH is more elastic; early concealed shorts stopped out during the rebound, and high-position chasing longs also face liquidation risk.
From the market perspective, short stop losses drive the rebound, and chasing longs become new fuel. Short-term volatility increases; avoid chasing highs or panic selling—wait for sentiment to fully release before acting.

#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 $BTC $ETH $ZEC In the futures market, commodities have held up against the stock market decline. Experienced traders usually don't rush to call a bull market; instead, they first check funding costs and position pressure. Reading this news, I prefer to separate "unable to fall" from "able to rise".
QCP's analysis states that last week Bitcoin fluctuated between $80,000 and $83,000, with support firm at $80,000, contrasting with pressured tech stocks. Despite strong inflation data, safe-haven buying pushed long-term U.S. Treasuries higher, combined with Federal Reserve officials' remarks cooling rate hike expectations. The yield decline supported risk assets.
My judgment is that this is somewhat positive for $BTC but more like pressure relief rather than evidence of a trend start. Yield declines can ease funding cost pressure on risk assets, but bond gains also reflect safe-haven demand, so it can't be fully interpreted as a willingness to take risks.
The crypto market differs from traditional commodities in another way: Bitcoin lacks the same inventory and spot basis for cross-verification. Relying solely on range support, I always keep some reservation. My speculation is that if yields continue to fall but Bitcoin still can't break out of the range, then the macro tailwind's driving force may be limited.
Are there friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? When encountering this combination of safe-haven bond buying and crypto price resilience, which observations from the commodity market would you borrow to judge strength or weakness, and which would you discard? ARB rose 9.27% today, attempting to break above 0.20 for the third time but failed to hold.
On October 11, it surged to 0.20314 and barely closed above that level.
On October 16, it surged again to 0.20247 but was pushed back the same day.
Today it reached 0.20037, then retreated to 0.19612.
Three attempts at the same level, only one succeeded in holding.
I think the key is not the price, but the volume.
The October 16 surge was on increased volume, with a turnover of 10.62 million, 1.4 times the average volume, yet it still failed to break through.
Today’s volume was only 5.74 million, about 75% of the average volume.
A wall that can’t be broken even on increased volume is even harder to break on decreased volume.
But today there’s something different: the entire DeFi sector is rising.
Tokens related to lending, DEX, and yield aggregation are almost all green, with gains ranging from 1% to 4%.
Meanwhile, the public chains are bleeding, with several major L1s down 4% to 6%.
The money hasn’t increased; it’s just rotated from storytelling chains to fee-collecting protocols.
I acknowledge this rotation, but I’m still not convinced about ARB itself.
It has risen 116% in 91 days, standing at 68% of its 100-day range, no longer cheap.
It’s not climbing up from the bottom; it’s continuing upward from mid-slope.

#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？
#$ETH $BTC China's GDP has returned to 4.5%, is the economy warming up? Don't rush to celebrate yet.
My view: The production side is holding the scene, but domestic demand is the real test.
Manufacturing is strong enough: High-tech manufacturing grew 14.3% in the first three quarters, exports and factories remain important supports.
Consumption hasn't caught up: Retail sales in September only grew 1.1%, real estate development investment fell 20.6% in the first three quarters, and this is the worrying part.
What to watch next? Whether consumption can pick up and whether real estate can stop falling. GDP exceeding expectations does not mean all parts of the economy are recovering.
Economic growth relies on factories, but economic recovery depends on whether ordinary people dare to spend money.SanDisk experienced a strong rebound rally today. As a core NAND flash stock, it is undergoing a recovery after the previous continuous sell-off in the storage sector.
This round of increase is mainly a short-term emotional recovery after overselling, combined with the market's re-pricing of enterprise SSD demand driven by AI inference. NAND flash spot prices remain relatively strong, attracting capital back into the storage sector. With sector linkage, storage stocks like Hynix and Micron are also following the rebound.
However, it is important to distinguish: this wave is a rebound rally and not necessarily a trend reversal. The core disruptive factors behind the previous storage sector plunge remain, including the Fed's rate hike expectations, oil price volatility, and the overall risk appetite for major tech stocks, which will continue to constrain the sector.
Key points to note
1. The oversold rebound rally is highly volatile, with rapid gains and sharp pullbacks. Do not mistake the short-term rebound for a new major upward wave to avoid chasing at high levels.
2. The sector linkage is very strong; if the Nasdaq and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index weaken again, storage stocks are likely to be dragged down once more.
3. On the fundamentals side, continue to track NAND contract prices, cloud vendors' capital expenditures, and the medium- to long-term supply impact from ChangXin Memory's capacity expansion.
4. Macro variables remain the biggest uncertainty: changes in Fed rate expectations will directly suppress valuations of tech growth stocks.
5. High-leverage contracts carry higher risks; rapid spikes and drops can occur during rebound rallies, so manage positions and stop-losses carefully.
$SNDK $SKHYNIX $SOXL October 19th–October 25th Global Macro Guidance: Rate hikes delayed, inflation not retreating! Energy faces policy price suppression, AI earnings follow macro data, has the dollar's global siphon effect begun!? Last week's market focus was whether CPI would lead to a re-evaluation of inflation, and who would control pricing power between energy and the bond market!? A week later, the market has received accurate answers: CPI is hotter than expected, Brent prices once exceeded $110, the probability of a rate hike in October dropped to 14%, the probability of a rate hike in December rose to 77%, and the probability of another hike in March approaches 50%. #Chip stocks rebound after eight consecutive declines, can AI trading repair? So starting this week, discussions about Fed policy have shifted to whether there will be a rate hike in December, whether the market has started pricing in a probability exceeding 80% for a December hike, and how much pricing will be completed before the December meeting! This week's macro logic chain: Inflation pressure → switching from October rate hike to December rate hike → Trump uses policy to suppress oil prices → Brent falls below $110 → energy inflation expectations decline + bond yields fall → long-term fiscal risk + term premium risk still exist → tech stocks Q3 earnings valuation adjustment → AI profit growth VS high capital expenditure VS 5% risk-free rate → US stocks and BTC trends. The first main line — will there be a rate hike in December? As of now, CME swap rates show the probability of an October rate hike has dropped to 14%. As the meeting approaches, the possibility of an October hike is basically eliminated, and the market is betting on a December hike and another in March next year.My first reaction when I saw this was: Is the difference between income and expenditure a bit too large? USDD released the Q3 2026 treasury report: quarterly income of $9.7 million, a 26.7% quarter-on-quarter increase, expenditure of $7,601, net profit of about $9.7 million; balance of $31.24 million, surpassing $30 million for the first time. I actually got stuck on the "expenditure" column 🤔
My understanding is that this report is positive news for treasury accumulation, but it cannot be directly used to prove that the entire stablecoin system's operating costs are very low. Not sure if I'm right; having been in the space for only a year, I'm quite afraid of conflating two different accounting scopes.
On one hand, income growth and balance increase indicate that the treasury indeed retained more funds this quarter. On the other hand, the expenditures listed by the treasury may not cover all costs required to maintain system operation; the material does not clarify this. If some costs are borne by other entities, then this table only shows the treasury's own income and expenses, not the profit and loss statement of the entire system. This is my speculation, not a claim that such a situation already exists.
What I haven't figured out yet is how to interpret this $7,601. I would like to ask experienced people who have seen similar reports: to verify the scope of its expenses, what kind of disclosures should I look for, or how can I correlate the report items with on-chain expenditures?OI market share at 11.9%, Grayscale bought $7.8 million in 20 days
Analyst sentiment ranks HYPE first in the entire market, deviating 2.3 standard deviations above the bullish consensus, more extreme than BTC and ETH. But what about the price? It dropped from 97.96 to 79, a 22% pullback. When price and sentiment diverge, that's when traders get involved.
$HYPE bets on the "fee buyback flywheel"
The first AQAv2 income of 14.58 million USDC has already arrived, with continuous buybacks of HYPE into the Assistance Fund; HyperLink routing transaction volume reached 254 million last month, targeting 10% of Hyperliquid's trading volume. Grayscale net bought $7.8 million in 20 days, institutions didn't stop buying during the dip. Perpetual OI market share hit a record 11.9%, the ecosystem is growing. HYPE's bullish logic is not narrative, but revenue converted into buying pressure.
$BNB bets on "deflationary bottom + ecosystem options"
The 37th burn just landed, 1.646 million BNB directly sent to the black hole, about $1.2 billion. AI trading tools launched; the more active the trading, the greater the fee discounts and gas consumption, the fiercer the burn. Plus the expectation of Predict's TGE within a month, BNB pool new listings are a clear play. BNB may not rise the fastest, but it is the toughest during downturns.
One offense, one defense. Honestly: between HYPE's buybacks and BNB's new listings, which one would you bet on?
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ 🔍Can a burn of about $1.197 billion be directly counted as a buy order of the same scale? Seeing this news, I actually want to separate "burn" and "buy" first, and not rush to conclusions.
According to this information, the BNB Foundation announced the completion of the 37th quarterly burn on BNB Chain, burning a total of 1,646,196.44 $BNB, with an estimated value of about $1.197 billion at the time of the burn, leaving a total remaining supply of 131,512,085 tokens. What can be confirmed here is that the announcement disclosed the burn amount and supply, but the source of these tokens was not explained.
An interesting detail here: the USD valuation is the value standard of the burned tokens, not equivalent to new funds entering the market; the supply reduction strengthens the scarcity narrative, but whether demand will keep up cannot be answered by this news alone.
My judgment is that this is somewhat positive for the supply side, but treating it as a decisive clue for short-term market trends, I think, is an overestimation. This is my speculation: if subsequent on-chain usage demand continues to increase, then the supply contraction is more likely to form a synergy; otherwise, the eye-catching USD figure may be more striking than the actual impact.
I will continue to monitor the source of the burns and on-chain activity. Do you value this supply reduction more, or the subsequent real usage demand? Let's keep an eye on the follow-up and see whose speculation is closer.$METIS vs $RSR : Is Selling Pressure Creating an Opportunity?
Both tokens are falling, but the real story is how traders are positioned.
$METIS shows persistent bearish pressure, with profitable shorts and struggling longs. Recent selling still outweighs buying, suggesting buyers haven't regained control.
$RSR looks even more vulnerable. Short positioning is stronger, and fresh selling reinforces the bearish sentiment. "The bonus from password sharing is over, is Netflix relying on ads to survive? Three numbers to watch on October 20"
Netflix will announce earnings after the market closes on October 20. Key points first: the company guides Q3 revenue at $12.86 billion (+12%), operating margin at 33.2% (28.2% same period last year)—the story of margins is more attractive than revenue.
The real test has three parts: ① Can ad revenue reach $800 million (Q2's $618 million missed expectations and serves as a lesson); ② Will revenue growth fall into single digits (17.6% → 13.4% → guidance 11.7%, stepping down all the way); ③ Can price increases plus ads offset subscription slowdown. The bonus from password sharing is over, and the growth engine is shifting gears.
The stock price has dropped 24% in the past three months, forward P/E is 19.9x, about 60% of the 5-year average—expectations are already low, but don't rush to bottom-fish; the 7% drop after Q2 earnings was due to soft guidance.
Mapping to crypto: US stocks have earnings reports to falsify narratives, crypto only has macro. BTC 80800 is holding the 80000 level; tonight's triple PPI release is the first to watch. If macro doesn't ease, all narratives are just distant hopes.
#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 On October 19, the crypto market showed a clear gap: prices were under pressure, but structural progress was accelerating.
Bitcoin spot ETFs saw a net outflow of about $910 million over two weeks, with a cumulative net outflow of $615 million in October. BTC briefly fell below $80,000, slightly dipping below the average cost line of ETF holders (around $82,300). The trigger was the September CPI rebound to about 3.7%, with a 5% risk-free rate siphoning off risk appetite. However, ETF net inflows remain positive year-to-date at about $355 million, indicating that the institutional base has not collapsed.
What is truly advancing is the "machine spending" concept. On October 9, HSBC and Ant Group completed AI agent micro-payment technology verification in Hong Kong: AI agents autonomously discovered digital services and initiated tokenized deposit payments; HSBC verified and settled in real time, with transactions completed on a blockchain testnet in real time. The x402 protocol has accumulated about 109.6 million transactions, each with a very small amount, but frequency is rising. This is still a technology verification, not a commercial launch, but the fact that banks have already integrated the payment process itself is a signal.
On the regulatory side, the CLARITY Act remains stalled after procedural obstacles in the Senate in September. SEC Chair Atkins stated that the framework will continue to be advanced under existing authority. Currently, a series of institutional rules and exemptions provide a bottom line; these are more fragile than legislation but sufficient for banks and asset managers to continue testing.
In the short term, the question is whether ETF outflows can converge near the cost line; in the medium term, whether AI agent payments can move from testnets into production environments. $BTC $ETH To pour some cold water first, I don't see this burn as a new bullish turning point. The key is whether the quarterly action can bring about an earnings surprise. The BNB Foundation announced the completion of the 37th quarterly burn of BNB Chain, with a total of 1,646,196.44 BNB burned, estimated at about $1.197 billion at the time of the burn, leaving a total remaining supply of 131,512,085 BNB. The numbers are large, but my judgment on $BNB remains cautious for now.
I'm stuck on two points: First, this is already the 37th quarterly burn, so the market has reason to have anticipated supply contraction in advance; if everyone has already expected it, the news landing may not bring much new stimulus. Second, a decrease in total supply does not mean a proportional reduction in short-term tradable chips. The information does not clarify whether the burned tokens were previously circulating in the market, so I won't directly interpret it as an equal scale of selling pressure disappearing. For ordinary users following the news, this distinction is more important than the dollar amount.
Of course, the bulls might be right. I'm not denying scarcity, but I am unwilling to pay a premium for unverified demand. If subsequent on-chain usage demand continues to strengthen and we can see tradable supply tightening simultaneously, I will adjust my judgment. Are you bullish or bearish on this burn? Share your reasons: do you value supply reduction more, or worry that the positive news has already been priced in? #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 Although operating profit margin is expected to rise from 28.2% to 33.2%, this margin improvement is based on cutting labor costs rather than a surge in core business. Subscription growth is slowing, and the advertising business is still in its cultivation phase, so distant help can't solve immediate problems. We shouldn't be too optimistic about the better-than-expected earnings report; profits squeezed out through layoffs raise concerns about quality. The stock price had already slightly declined before the earnings report, so it's best to wait and watch, being cautious of valuation cuts after expectations are met. Better to wait a bit and be more cautious.Look at the drop in these few US stocks like $MSTR; if anyone still says US stocks are more stable than crypto, I’m ready to argue. In the crypto world, it’s all the same roller coaster ride:
Take $CRCL for example, clearly the purest stablecoin narrative, yet it dropped 5.46% in one day last week. Fortunately, it slowly recovered over the weekend.
Circle’s quarterly revenue has now reached 700 million, up 6.6% year-over-year. Its market cap is 20.9 billion, which is not cheap anymore. But it’s definitely a good sector, with giants like Visa and Mastercard racing to get involved.
MSTR is even worse off; it’s basically a leveraged Bitcoin substitute, and then it got hit by the MSCI delisting rumors, dropping 10% in one day. It had been rising nicely the past two months, but now its mNAV is squeezed back to 1.07x, almost wiping out the premium.
$COIN is supposed to be the one to watch for trading volume, but it doesn’t get as much attention as CRCL. It’s clearly a fee-earning business and should be treated like other exchange platform tokens, but due to low attention, it also dropped 7% in one day and is even more fragile than MSTR when the market is quiet. #MSCI新规或将Strategy等BTC财库公司移出指数 "The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker"
Friday's judgment basically came true: $BTC stayed steady above $80,000 and even touched around $82,000; ETH, however, still struggled repeatedly just before the $2,500 mark.
The strength comparison is very clear. The $ETH/BTC ratio dropped to a low near 0.0347, and the price remains below the 200-day moving average range of $2,483–$2,495, technically continuing to show weakness. Capital is also voting with its feet: last week, the spot ETH ETF saw a net outflow of $320 million, while the BTC ETF had a net outflow of $228 million. The selling pressure on Ethereum is clearly heavier.
Both are undergoing adjustments, but BTC holds firm while ETH fails to break through. Right now, it’s not about who rebounds faster, but who loses less blood. BTC is temporarily playing the role of stabilizer, while ETH still needs to wait for ETF funds to stop the bleeding. Before the market gives a clear answer, position sizing is more important than opinions. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 [Research Report Quick Review] A rebound does not equal a reversal. A slight price uptick has triggered collective calls for "bottom confirmation," but from the perspective of capital behavior, this round looks more like a pulse rally driven by short-term funds. Large accounts are actually reducing exposure by taking advantage of liquidity windows, while retail investors chasing highs face increased risk.
Regarding BTC, spot ETFs have seen continuous net outflows recently, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars; hotter-than-expected US inflation data has caused interest rate hike expectations to retreat, with prices oscillating around the $80,000 range. Institutions are generally reducing positions, with no sustained capital support observed.
For ETH, ETFs have experienced large net outflows for more than ten consecutive days, with weekly net outflows in the hundreds of millions; although prices briefly rose above $2400, the capital side is still bleeding, and recovery signals lack underlying support.
#SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 $BTC $ETH $ZEC I think the price dropped back from about 83,000 to just over 82,000 in the afternoon, don't assume the rebound has stabilized. Spot price is about $82,323 (Beijing 18:39, Coinbase).To be honest: among these three short positions, the one I watch most closely is $ZEC. It's not that I'm afraid it won't drop, but that it might suddenly start spinning a story.😅
$BTC: Tugging near the 50-day moving average, Aroon Down is high, and the short-term downtrend structure remains intact. But the main pressure comes from long-term interest rates—30-year at 5.67%, 10-year above 5%—investors have no patience for non-yielding assets. The old narrative of whales dumping has faded, and on-chain selling pressure is receding. Watch the 10-year yield; if it eases, then exit.📉
$ETH: ETF continuous outflows are obvious; last week net outflow was 542 million, with BlackRock alone at 477 million. But after ten days of bad news spreading, marginal damage is weakening. ETH has shallow liquidity and dense leverage; once outflows narrow, the rebound will be stronger than BTC. It's a sprint, not a marathon.💸
$ZEC: From late September's 1650–1700 drop to around 1165, technically bearish, but the NU7 decision window on October 20 is a binary event. The testnet block time is cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, with the mainnet target on November 5. Shorting ZEC is betting that sentiment won't buy the catalyst ahead of time. It's an offensive move, not ballast; low leverage and isolated margin are hard constraints.⚡
Are you planning to hold your ZEC short until October 20 to bet on “selling the fact,” or take some profits first?🤔 #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 In the futures market, when assessing whether an institution is well-capitalized, I usually start by reviewing income and cash reserves rather than just listening to stories about scale. But when it comes to the crypto market, this old yardstick needs to be applied differently. The profitability of a stablecoin treasury and whether holders can smoothly redeem are not the same thing.
The USDD treasury report for Q3 2026 shows revenue of $9.7 million, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 26.7%, expenses of $7,601, and a net profit of about $9.7 million; the treasury balance reached $31.24 million, surpassing $30 million for the first time, setting a new record.
My judgment is that this is somewhat positive for $USDD's operational accumulation, but it cannot yet be taken as proof that stability has been achieved. Revenue growth and treasury increase indicate that the balance sheet buffer is expanding; however, this summary does not explain the source and sustainability of the income, and expenses are very low. I would want to verify the cost accounting standards and not simply extrapolate net profit forward.
In traditional finance, a good income statement cannot replace liquidity checks; applied to stablecoins, I am more concerned about reserve quality, liability scale, and redemption arrangements. If the treasury assets can be promptly utilized under stress, then this accumulation carries more weight. This is my speculation.
Are there any friends who have also transitioned from traditional markets? Looking at this report, would you first check the source of income or the reserves and redemption mechanism?Suddenly remembered that today $UNI and $BCH futures officially launched on CME,
becoming the 10th and 11th single-coin futures,
but the market showed no reaction at all.
As expected, seasoned players are just seasoned players,
looking back, the price was basically at its highest when the news came out,
then it just kept drifting down.
That said, these are cash-settled, so institutions don’t have to touch a single coin.
CME itself says it’s for clients to "manage price risk," so who used it first?
BCH miners, funds holding UNI for voting, and project treasuries wanting to lock prices without selling coins, the easiest move is to open short positions.
So what futures bring more of is hedging, not buying pressure.
But still have to say:
Cherish your life,
stay away from seasoned players.$BTC $FIL $TIA
Today the market took a direct plunge, overall risk sentiment is very poor, BTC can't hold and is being pushed down, altcoins are falling even harder, with coins like $TIA and FIL that had earlier rotation-driven rallies experiencing even larger pullbacks.
Simply put, the reasons are:
1. Risk capital is withdrawing; the US stock market is weak, and in correlation, crypto funds are unwilling to stay in high-risk coins, with insufficient buying power, so even a slight sell-off leads to rapid declines.
2. Breaking key support triggered a chain liquidation; after prices broke critical support levels, a large number of long positions were liquidated, and the more it falls, the greater the selling pressure, causing a stampede.
3. This round is essentially a battle for existing funds, with no continuous inflow of new capital; previous small coin rallies were all short-term funds pumping and then exiting, so when the market drops, they collectively cash out immediately.
In terms of strategy, don't rush to bottom-fish now; this is a panic-selling phase, so don't casually catch falling knives. Be patient with spot positions and wait for stabilization signals; try to keep futures positions empty, as altcoins will be much more volatile than BTC.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 #奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 $BTC institutional funds weaken, who will see a return flow first, BTC or ETH?
This round of institutional fund withdrawal is essentially a contraction of risk assets under repeated macro expectations. According to the historical pattern of ETF funds, **BTC is highly likely to be the first to see institutional return flow**, while ETH's fund recovery is often delayed and requires a higher market risk appetite.
BTC is positioned as a major asset allocation in the crypto field. Institutional funds enter to diversify assets, hedge inflation, and geopolitical risks. As long as the Federal Reserve's policy expectations marginally ease, large asset managers will prioritize allocating BTC spot ETFs, making fund reversal signals easier to appear. ETH, with stronger growth attributes combined with uncertainties in staking, ecosystem, and regulatory aspects, requires institutions to see a warming crypto ecosystem and improved on-chain activity before allocating ETH. This belongs to the second phase of market funds, with a higher risk appetite threshold.
However, there is a variable here: if the market later experiences a strong style rotation and small-cap coins collectively start, ETH may see retail funds leading a catch-up rally, while institutional funds remain cautious, resulting in a price rebound diverging from ETF funds. To judge the authenticity of fund return flow, one should not only look at single-day inflows but focus on two indicators: ETF funds turning positive for three consecutive trading days and whale addresses no longer continuously reducing holdings.#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ $BTC's recent wave today saw long positions closed near the peak, which can be observed in the actual delivery orders. It's not bearish; the reason for the rise is just off.
From the morning's low point, it surged quite a bit, looking fierce. But in the liquidation data, 97% of the positions liquidated in the last hour were shorts — the price was pushed up by short stop-losses, not by real money buying. Both futures and options volumes have doubled, yet the price hasn't moved far.
The structure hasn't broken through either; today's highest point is still some distance from the 20-day moving average, it hasn't even touched it. The 83,000 resistance has been pushed back several times before. On Binance and OKX, the long-short ratio of accounts is above 1.5, retail investors are chasing longs, but the entire market combined is almost balanced — the ones chasing are mostly small accounts. ETFs are still seeing outflows, institutions haven't returned.
So the longs were closed. Shorts covered, but no one is stepping in below. If you really want to be bullish, wait until it breaks above the 20-day moving average with volume. #Netflix growth may slow, advertising business becomes new focus $KORU $KORU added two positive factors over the weekend. Personally, I still lean bearish, but I don't think it will keep dropping straight down.
The semiconductor sector has been falling these days. The issue is no longer just about chip sales performance, but the market starting to worry whether the huge AI investments can actually pay off. Coupled with expensive financing, high oil prices, and Chinese memory manufacturers catching up faster, funds have been continuously withdrawing.
However, two positive news came out on Sunday: one is that South Korea said the semiconductor boom might remain strong until 2027; the other is news about the next-generation HBM from Samsung, TSMC, and Nvidia. These two pieces of news will only start trading in Korea on Monday, so I think there might be a rally first on Monday.
Monday might see a rebound to 10.9–11.6 → if SK Hynix and foreign capital still don't follow, it will drop back to 9.6–10.2 → then rebound once more → by Wednesday lean towards 8.8–9.6.
Right now, I don't expect KORU to crash immediately; I tend to expect a rebound first, then continued weakness. The most important thing on Monday is to see whether Samsung and SK Hynix rise together and whether foreign capital really buys back. If only Samsung rises due to the positive news but SK Hynix remains weak, I will treat the rebound as just a temporary correction before further decline.
On Wednesday, we also need to watch South Korea's chip exports and Nvidia's GTC. If these two provide very strong positive news and the market is truly willing to buy this time, then my bearish view might be wrong, and KORU could have a chance to recover directly to around 12.3 or even 13.
