#TSMCQ3RecordProfit TSMC's Q3 net profit exceeded expectations, achieving a record high in earnings. The earnings report is very impressive, with AI computing power demand continuously materializing, and 2nm successfully contributing to revenue; however, growth heavily depends on AI clients, and combined with the cost and geopolitical pressures from building factories in the US, the risks behind high growth cannot be ignored.#奈飞增长或放缓，广告业务成新看点 US September CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations, but Walsh refused to preview a rate hike at the IMF annual meeting, lowering the probability of a rate hike in October to around 15%—the macro environment offers a breather, not a pivot, with year-end rate hike pricing still hanging at 90%.
Funds are not "running," they are "hiding": BTC market share surged to 59.92%, becoming the only red asset in the market. There is locked-in support above 81,000, selling pressure indicators have reached historical extremes, whales are accumulating, but daily trading volume has shrunk to $6.8 billion, the base is solid but there is no new fuel.
ETH fell below 2400, whales are redeeming stakes, sending 95,000 tokens to CEX at a loss, supply is looser than BTC; SOL broke below 103 relying on psychological support, ETF outflows hit a record 25.52 million in a single week; OKB retraced to 114, scarcity of supply does not constitute short-term buying pressure; RE dropped 4.6%, thin liquidity was crushed by sector beta.
The other four are all waiting for BTC to bring back trading volume. Don't reason in thin markets during low volume periods.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #SpaceX上市后首份完整季度财报将揭晓 Macro perspective: Wash's "blank space" gives the market a breathing window
This is the most important marginal change currently. Federal Reserve Chair Wash's speech at the IMF Annual Meeting in Bangkok did not signal any rate hike in October and clearly stated that he would not pre-judge rate decisions. The market's expectation probability for an October rate hike immediately dropped from over 25% to below 15%, and the US dollar index weakened accordingly.
However, it is necessary to soberly view the nature of this "positive": it is more like a "reset" of expectations rather than a "turn" in the trend. The probability of the FOMC maintaining rates unchanged in October is still about 70%, but this expectation has recently shown signs of marginal weakening. The market's baseline judgment remains: Bitcoin will continue to build a bottom around $80,000 in the short term, and in the absence of obvious upward catalysts, it is more likely to fluctuate between $80,000 and $85,000.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ Overnight BTC pulled back from 80,680 to 82,457 (+1.08%), with a 24-hour high of 82,538, just 60 dollars short of 82,600. Both levels held last night: 82,600 was untouched, validating the "no reversal" scenario; 80,800 was breached but recovered, and 80,000 remained unchallenged. Funding rates warmed up: BTC at 0.00635% (up from 0.0043% last night), ETH steady at 0.00883%, SOL turned positive from negative at 0.00499% and continued climbing. Open Interest stands at 30,075 contracts, about 2.48 billion USD, almost unchanged. The recovery is real, and the 0.01% "true entry" line remains untouched, which is also true. Off-exchange: Grayscale and Republic launched three funds, with UNI/AAVE/ONDO topping the charts; El Salvador's holdings surpassed 7,800 coins. Today, focus is solely on 82,600: if volume breaks and holds above it, the "no reversal" scenario is invalidated, and the morning will start with a correction, eyeing 83,500; if it fails to hold and drops below 82,000, consolidation continues, with 80,800 to be retested. That spike last night—were you on the train or off? Share in the comments.Midday Review: Last night's binary choice, the market played out both scenarios
Last night before bed, I left a question: Will it first break 80,800 and continue to fall, or will it first surge to 82,634 for a recovery? The market didn't play fair and did both.
Early morning fake drop: the lowest touched 80,621, 80,800 was pierced intraday, looking like a further drop. But my rule last night was to watch the 4-hour close—at 04:00 it directly closed back at 82,116, so the breakout didn't hold. I've seen this kind of fake break and close back many times in five years; it looks scary intraday but the close is what counts. After dawn, it steadily recovered, reaching a high of 82,817, now at 82,590, +0.9%, with 82,634 just overhead.
ETH followed but still weaker: now at 2,426, only +0.2%, the rebound high of 2,438 was briefly touched then fell back. Funding rate for ETH is about +0.0097%, hotter than BTC's +0.0046%—those chasing the recovery first crowded into ETH, so be cautious where the crowd gathers.
Next to watch is the US stock market opening at 21:30 tonight. If BTC can hold above 82,634, the next target is the previous high at 82,940; if it gets pushed back below 82,300 again, this recovery is fake and the range will continue to grind.
Data speaks, mistakes are costly. Tonight, which side are you on: holding above 82,634 to move up, or getting pushed back into the range again? Netflix's advertising pre-sale commitments nearly doubled, which sounds great, but don't rush to include it in this quarter's revenue statement yet.
In August, the company announced that its US Upfront advertising sales commitments nearly doubled. The original text refers to commitments, meaning the amount corresponds to future scheduled ad placements, not ads that have already aired, confirmed revenue, and received cash.
I am optimistic about this change because advertisers' willingness to allocate budgets in advance indicates that Netflix is moving toward a more stable procurement plan. However, the significance of this progress lies in having more basis for future revenue; it cannot be used to demand an immediate proportional jump in advertising revenue for any single quarter.
The timing of different content releases and the actual delivery pace of ads will affect final recognition. Pre-sales are a leading indicator, not a report card. The real test is whether subsequent execution can keep up with the commitments. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ On the crypto side, the hero asset is $BTC.
The Nasdaq fell 2.14% on Friday, but Bitcoin rose nearly 1%: Is decoupling really happening?
Here's what I saw:
On Friday, the Nasdaq dropped 2.14%, the S&P fell 1.09%, the VIX surged 21.5% in one day to 19.99, and AI stocks CoreWeave, CrowdStrike, and Cloudflare were all hit hard.
At the same time, Bitcoin closed near $82,600, up nearly 1% in 24 hours, ETH also rose 3% back to 2420, money is flowing into large-cap assets.
This week also has Meta and Tesla earnings reports; whether the AI rally can continue depends on these few days.
My view:
This is not decoupling, just not the right time yet. Bitcoin's rise is on low volume, with 24-hour trading volume just over 1% of market cap, such a rise is unsustainable.
If decoupling is real, we need to see if it can hold above 83,000 this week; otherwise, it’s just a delayed drop following the market.
What I’m doing:
Watching without chasing, not catching falling knives. Will reassess if 83,000 holds for three days; if it falls below 80,000, this rebound is invalid.
Do you think this is the start of decoupling or just a bull trap?

#比特币 #美银调查揭示股债分歧，贝莱德提前增配短债 $QQQ dropped 2.5%, $BTC is still holding at 82,014. This mismatch itself indicates that funds haven't fled, but no one dares to add positions either. Whoever shows weakness first will dictate today's direction.
$BTC 82,014 +0.99% $ETH 2,406 +0.55%
$QQQ -2.50% $SPY -1.11% $IBIT -0.94%
$DXY +0.08% $GLD -0.18%
Crude oil and the Strait of Hormuz are still fueling inflation expectations, AI/semiconductors continue to hold the emotional switch of $QQQ, and Trump and tariff lines might cut the $SPY and $DXY markets at any second. There are many hidden risks; the market looks calm but is actually tense.
$ETH still hasn't caught up with $BTC; funds prefer hard assets over soft ones, the strength difference is clear at a glance.
$QQQ feels heavily defensive, it dropped without decent support—don't catch a falling knife.
$IBIT is even weaker than $BTC; ETFs are soft, so don't expect the spot market to be strong either.
$DXY's mere +0.08% is enough to make risk assets retreat; a bit more upward pressure would be even tougher.
$GLD's pullback indicates that safe-haven money hasn't increased, so it's not a panic sell-off for now.
Don't chase highs; whoever shows weakness first will set today's direction. I'm watching first.$HYPE actually has very little selling pressure; anyone who has truly studied it will come to this conclusion.
The rise of HYPE is based on the strong profit-making ability of derivatives, not some pump by manipulators.
The real circulating supply of HYPE is very low, only 100 million tokens, with actual circulation around 10%, the rest are locked, burned, or not yet released, extremely tightly controlled.
As I mentioned before about HYPE, the only solution is a price pump; the real circulating supply of HYPE is 8 billion, not 20 billion, nor the full circulation of 80 billion.
Many people confuse "total unlocked" with the real tradable circulating supply. The approximately 200 million shown on market platforms is just the unlocked amount, not the tokens available for selling.
A large portion of unlocked tokens are staked long-term by holders, locked on-chain, rarely reaching exchanges, so they don't create selling pressure; plus, the protocol continuously buys back and burns tokens, permanently removing them from circulation, which must be excluded. The team's share is released linearly over many years, with a very slow unlocking pace. AVGO has fallen for 94 trading days, hitting a six-month low on October 16.
The highest was 495 on June 3, and the intraday low was 328.58 on October 16.
-33.6%.
This is not a crash, but a downhill slope lasting four and a half months.
94 days, an average daily drop of 0.36%.
What’s really worth watching is the last 9 days.
SMH closed down for 9 consecutive days, but 3 of those days were bullish candles.
October 13 +1.75%, October 15 +2.38%.
Every day there are intraday rebounds being grabbed, but the closing price is lower than the previous day every day.
On October 16, AVGO fell 2.87%, with a volume of 29.7 million shares.
The 20-day average volume is 23 million shares, so volume expanded by 1.29 times.
Volume expanding to a new low indicates that sellers at this price level are more eager than buyers.
I think this kind of decline is more painful than a single-day crash.
On crash days, everyone is watching and some will cut positions.
A daily drop of 0.36% is ignored, and by the time people react, it has already fallen by a third.
Looking back, not a single decent panic has occurred.
This is also why I don’t think this is the bottom.
Among the 9 consecutive down days, 3 were bullish candles, indicating buying interest has been present.
But the closing price keeps hitting new lows, meaning that buying interest is insufficient.

#SlowDeclineSolana's on-chain data exploded, but the coin dropped from 122 to 105; the divergence will be clear the day after tomorrow.
RWA scale grew from $700 million to $4.3 billion in one year, a 6x increase, with its share of Ethereum rising from 4.5% to 26%.
In the past 30 days, application revenue reached $193 million, ranking first across all chains, nearly double that of the second place.
Yet SOL still fell from 122 at the end of September to 105 now, and the spot ETF has seen almost daily net outflows since late September.
I think the market isn’t foolish; this money is probably mostly supported by memes and launchpads, about 80% of revenue comes from consumer applications, while institutional US Treasury RWA remains on Ethereum.
The hype is real, but the substance is questionable.
On October 21, the day after tomorrow, the Alpenglow upgrade will finalize, cutting confirmation time from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds; it’s both a catalyst and a potential black swan for downtime.
I won’t bet early: only recognize a rebound if volume breaks above 113; if it falls below the 100 mark, watch 95, and never catch a falling knife.
Will you choose to buy the rebound or the dip? Will the upgrade lift SOL, or will the good news be fully priced in and push it down?

#Solana #RWA Losing 36.85 million dollars and still not giving up? Seeing through the "fatal gambler's psychology" of contract players from Brother Maji's liquidation
Just checked the on-chain data, and Brother Maji has once again suffered the tragedy of "full liquidation." His long position was forcibly closed, not only losing all the profits from the year but also losing an additional 36.85 million USD.
Looking at his dense liquidation records really makes one gasp. Why do big players always stubbornly hold long positions and immediately open new ones after liquidation? Here are a few fatal reasons worth warning everyone in the crypto circle:
1️⃣ Path dependence and "E-Guard" faith: Previously made big money going long on $ETH and $HYPE, forming a fixed mindset. He has an almost religious belief in Ethereum, thinking "as long as I hold on, I will win."
2️⃣ The addiction to high leverage: Habitually using 25x leverage to roll positions. The temptation of high returns is too great; once tasted, it's hard to accept low leverage again.
3️⃣ Mental collapse after liquidation, with the mind full of "I must recover my losses," this psychological misconception makes him unable to stop. Looking at the data, just hours after liquidation, he immediately opened a 700 ETH long position near 2380. "High leverage + no stop loss," as long as the market moves 1%-2% against you, it can take you out directly!
In the contract market, position management always outweighs your market judgment. Currently, ETH is weak, with support seen at 2370-2400 and strong support at 2320-2360. Respect the market! $BTC $ETH BTC pulled back from 80,659 to 82,788, with 272 million liquidated in 24 hours, and short liquidations accounting for 96.3% in the last hour.
What changed? During the crash on the 15th, 90.6% of longs were wiped out, but in the last hour, the trend reversed, with shorts becoming the main ones getting liquidated.
Why is this worth noting? The funding rate remains positive (0.0035%), indicating longs are still paying to hold positions, and shorts are being squeezed during the rebound rather than new funds entering the market.
Currently, the observation supports a "short squeeze rebound" rather than a trend reversal. Next, focus on whether the 81,600 support can hold and if spot buying can sustain after ETF outflows turn positive.
After this round of short liquidations, who will take over next—the whales or ETFs? Let's discuss in the comments. $BTC ETH pulled up from 2327 to 2426 in a deep V, but the real suspense isn't in the gain, it's at 2419.
What changed? Last night at 11 PM, a whale shorted ETH at 2366. This morning, when the price rebounded to 2409, $6.66 million worth of positions were liquidated, and the liquidation price of the remaining positions is exactly stuck at 2419—just $7 away from the current price in the screenshot.
Why is this worth watching? This rebound wasn't driven by ETF buying; last week, ETH spot ETFs saw a net outflow of $320 million, more than BTC. The driver was a short squeeze caused by overextended positions, not fundamental improvements.
Currently, the observation that this is a "short squeeze rebound" is more supported. Next, it depends on whether the shorts above 2419 will continue to be swept out, and whether spot buying can hold after that. With a $7 scenario, which side are you betting on? Let's discuss in the comments. $ETH Sister Wood is out shouting again: South Korean semiconductor stocks have now entered the buy zone, still optimistic. I've heard this kind of talk too many times—the more it bleeds down, the more big influencers come out shouting "golden pit." My position is right here, standing exactly opposite.
The logic for trend trading is very simple: an asset's entire moving average line is pressing down on the head, foreign capital is continuously net selling, and the narrative relies on backward-looking data like "turning losses into profits" and "20x forecast growth" to hold up. I have no reason to catch the knife others are bottom-fishing. The key to low-frequency large bets is never guessing the bottom, but recognizing which side of the trend you stand on, then holding on. $BTC's current AI deleveraging cycle is not over yet.ETH Liquidation Style Suddenly Changes: Bulls Still Taking Hits in 24 Hours, 99.8% of Last Hour's Liquidations Are Shorts.
What changed? In the past 24 hours, ETH liquidations totaled $107 million, with bulls accounting for 91%; but in the last hour, out of $19.69 million liquidated, 99.8% were shorts, as ETH reclaimed above 2400, directly wiping out those chasing shorts.
Why is this noteworthy? This wave of short liquidations occurred amid two consecutive weeks of ETF net outflows and near-zero spot demand. It's not a broad rally driven by new capital inflows but more like a violent correction of position structure.
Currently, the observation favors a "short squeeze rebound" rather than a trend reversal. The key focus next is whether ETH can hold above 2400 and if spot buying can sustain after short covering cools down.
After this short squeeze, who will take the baton next? Let's discuss in the comments. $ETH What is the core value of DeFi—"bringing the real world onto the blockchain" or "creating a financial system independent of the real world"?
Would DeFi still stand without tokenized stocks and RWAs?
The DeFi boom from 2019 to 2021 was almost entirely centered around crypto-native assets:
Using ETH, BTC, and stablecoins as collateral for lending
Trading with tokens
Yield farming with governance tokens
During that phase, there were almost no true RWAs or tokenized stocks, yet DeFi had already formed a complete financial loop: lending, trading, liquidation, leverage, derivatives. This shows that crypto-native assets alone are sufficient to support an independent financial system.
Simply put, RWAs are an extension of DeFi, not its foundation.
One viewpoint holds that without integrating real-world assets, DeFi is just a "closed-loop casino" lacking real value support. Another argues that precisely because it does not rely on real-world assets, DeFi retains the greatest experimental space and censorship resistance.
These two perspectives are not actually contradictory:
From the perspective of "whether it can operate independently": DeFi still has meaning without RWAs and tokenized stocks, and this was proven early on.
From the perspective of "whether it can grow bigger, become more stable, and attract more capital": RWAs and tokenized stocks can indeed significantly expand DeFi's ceiling, especially in providing stable returns and reducing overall volatility $BTC's weekly close is very precise, 820 still looks pretty good. It holds the daily, 3-day, and weekly lines at a key position, with the main force signaling to the market their intention to maintain a bullish stance. Quantitative traders won't mechanically dump; judging by the main force's choice, the possibility of shaking out bulls before a rebound has increased, as mentioned in the quote below—this is the first shakeout of bulls. Also, yesterday it tested down again from 80k to 805. It's clear that 80k is both a point of accumulation and strong defense by the main force. If the main force doesn't choose to kill the bulls, I won't chase longs. I haven't taken any contract positions; the risk-reward ratio isn't high. I'll wait for an opportunity to short when it goes up. For spot, I also choose to wait and not add positions for now. Overall, the direction remains a wide-range consolidation, and a weekly-level correction is about to begin. This basic foundation is nailed down. At the end of October, there were 12 days, 10 trading days. In October, I added $UNI and $MSTR, which have made good progress but are still some distance from my 90% position target. I hope after this rebound ends, new opportunities will arise. The recent rise in the US stock market's decline—I called it a good opportunity three times, and the US market is already rebounding strongly. I believe the pre-earnings season drop presents even greater opportunities and risks. During this period, I bought $MSTR, which may also rise with this rebound. BTC at a 10% discount is still very attractive. My next goal for the US stock market is to increase the proportion of big tech and rotate into crypto stocks, which I plan to complete opportunistically within 1-3 months. I will take advantage of the AI rebound to reduce positions, keep cash, and wait for better crypto opportunities to increase my cash ratio. This AI bottom-fishing in the US market is at least a chance to bet on a big leap.The most fragile link has never been the price, but the "sense of security" built up by leverage. Before ETH's second dip breaks the previous low, can this be considered a true stabilization or just a pause for the bears? Watching the 4-hour chart these past two days, both ETH and SNDK have shown relatively clear bottom divergences. ETH's second test of the bottom did not break the previous low, and the support below is starting to show presence. My personal feeling is that the short-term bottom is likely close to completion, but this statement must be followed by a "but." What really makes me cautious is not the candlesticks, but the derivatives structure. Perpetual contract positions remain piled high, and the funding rate has not undergone a thorough washout, indicating that the bulls are not completely dead, nor have the bears fully relaxed. In this state, divergence can be either a reversal starting point or just a breather in a downtrend continuation. Bottom signals have appeared, but it is still too early to confirm. Another easily overlooked point: the longer the high-interest-rate environment drags on, the more mature the RWA and Wall Street BTC and ETH leverage tools become, the faster the capital switches, and the more aggressive the strategies. Simply interpreting rate hikes as bearish and rate cuts as bullish is no longer sufficient. What the market is actually trading now is how much the expectations have been priced in advance, not the events themselves. So, rhythm-wise, I am cautiously optimistic in the short term but remain somewhat vigilant in the mid-term. Going forward, I will only focus on two things: whether ETH's second bottom can hold and whether the 4-hour chart can truly break through the upper resistance. If it holds, risk appetite will first emerge in small caps and altcoins; if it doesn't, this divergence will be digested as a bull trap. The crowd psychology is quite subtle right now, F【GDP returns to 4.5%, China's economy has caught its breath, but the people's wallets haven't caught up yet】
China's Q3 GDP grew 4.5% year-on-year, higher than Q2's 4.3% and exceeding the market expectation of 4.4%. The economy has indeed warmed up, but this is only felt by a small portion of people. The main drivers of this growth are more from exports and manufacturing, while domestic demand has not truly taken over yet.
Industrial output in September grew 5.5%, but retail sales only increased by 1.1%; real estate development investment in the first three quarters dropped by 20.6%. Factories are busy again, consumption is recovering slowly, and real estate is still dragging behind. This set of data shows that the economy is resilient, but it doesn't mean everyone feels the recovery.
This also means that in the short term, policies may not rush to flood the market with liquidity, since growth has already returned to the target range. However, the higher the dependence on exports, the more vulnerable it is to overseas demand and trade friction shocks.
Compared to whether GDP can be a bit higher, I am more interested in whether consumption and private investment can truly pick up. If growth is taken over by domestic demand going forward, that would be a more solid recovery; if it continues to rely on exports to prop up the scene, 4.5% looks good, but the economy's foundation is still not strong enough.$BTC $ETH Big Brother Maji has once again faced a full liquidation. Why does he persistently stubbornly hold onto the longs?
This round of long positions was directly forcibly liquidated by the exchange, wiping out all the profits earned over the past year, with an additional loss of 36.85 million USD. Profit, liquidation, reinvestment to fight again—he has repeatedly gone through this cycle many times.
The reasons behind this can be summarized in four points: First, early large gains from going long on ETH and HYPE created a fixed trading path dependency; second, he has a strong faith in Ethereum, embodying a typical E-guard mentality; third, he inherently has a high-risk trading style, habitually using 25x leverage to roll positions, quickly re-entering after liquidation; fourth, he struggles to break free from psychological traps, as the high-leverage rebound profits are very tempting, combined with the sunk cost effect, making it hard to decisively stop.
Even if the overall bullish judgment is correct, without proper stop-loss under high leverage, small adverse market fluctuations are enough to trigger liquidation. In trading, position management is far more important than judging the direction of longs or shorts.
Currently, ETH’s trend is weak, with price running below short-term moving averages. Short-term support ranges from 2370-2400, strong support at 2320-2360; resistance at 2450-2500, with pressure zones above at 2550-2600. Market liquidity is low over the weekend, making price fluctuations easily amplified. Under 25x leverage, just a 1%-2% adverse move will approach the liquidation warning line. #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ 🔥 Within one week, spot crypto ETFs have bled over $1.22 billion! The "nuclear power" that once drove the market rally has now become the biggest drag.
📊 【Institutional Retreat, Altcoins Bleeding Heavily】
🔴 Institutional buying has clearly cooled down, with $ETH outflows even exceeding those of $BTC.
🔴 Galaxy Research directly points out: ETF and corporate treasury buying can no longer absorb the chips sold by long-term holders. The supply-demand gap this year has reached -127,300 BTC!
🔴 Funding pressure is spreading; last week, 141 altcoins fell an average of 14%, and liquidity is rapidly drying up.
📈 【Price Bottom Card: Why Can't It Fall Further?】
Although BTC rebounded to 82,000 today, contract funding rates remain weak, and ETFs (such as IBIT) are still experiencing net outflows. The real warning signal is not how much is flowing out, but that funds are withdrawing while prices fail to hit new lows.
If BTC can hold the 80,000 level under this bloodletting, it indicates real buying is quietly accumulating below; once capital outflows combine with a break of key support, selling pressure will explode completely.
💡 Capital flows only reflect sentiment; price trends are the boss. On the macro side, inflationary pressure has not eased, and the 10-year US Treasury yield still looms overhead. We will talk about a major reversal when ETF funds turn positive.
#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 Although $CORE Core coin has not experienced an "instant zeroing out" or a public abandonment announcement from the project team, multiple signals across various dimensions indeed point to a risk state of a soft exit. Describing it as "chronic bleeding" and "trust collapse" might be more accurate than saying it is "preparing to run away."
The most direct alarm comes from exchanges. At the initial launch of CORE, it was supported by 34 exchanges, but now only 13 still trade it, and deposits and withdrawals are often restricted by risk controls.
The collective withdrawal of mainstream exchanges means centralized liquidity is rapidly drying up, making buying and selling extremely difficult.
🐛 Hard issues in governance and trust: vulnerabilities and anonymous team
A series of governance problems continue to erode the project's credibility foundation:
· Repeated vulnerabilities: At the end of August 2026, due to a validator reward vulnerability, about 255 million CORE were prematurely released. Although the project team fixed this through an emergency hard fork, another 69 million "ghost tokens" had already been transferred out before the fork and were not recovered, becoming potential selling pressure hanging over the market.
· Opaque aftermath: The project team has yet to fully disclose the exact amount of over-issuance and details of the vulnerability, and the lack of transparency has intensified distrust.
· Anonymity and centralized decision-making: Most core team members remain anonymous, and the official acknowledgment is that decisions are currently led by the core team. This contradicts the blockchain cornerstone of "decentralized trust." Data as of 10-19 11:13 (Beijing Time). The overall market color has finally flipped: Bitcoin is back to 82,600, up 0.85% in 24 hours, Solana +0.9%, Chainlink +1.1%, Ripple +0.6%, only TRON remains green, down 0.2%. The strongest is Zcash, which has rebounded 20% from its low in 24 hours. Previous round review (04:39 batch, entry price → current price, checked by direction): - TRON Long 0.331700 → 0.332510 (+0.24% profit) | Take profit 0.332870 / Stop loss 0.330998, neither triggered ✓ Hit - Zcash Short 1,059.01 → 1,175.34 (-10.98% loss) | Stop loss 1,084.92 triggered ✗ Missed - Dogecoin Short 0.076380 → 0.079900 (-4.63% loss) | Stop loss 0.077428 triggered ✗ Missed The hit rate calculated by direction is 33%. But I don't want to gloss over this number: the TRON trade was sideways, earning 0.24%, while the other two were real cash short positions, both stop losses were hit, resulting in a real loss this round. If the direction is wrong, you have to admit it. Where was the mistake? I'll explain clearly. My previous logic was "each rebound is lower than the last, and after longs are forcibly liquidated, no one steps in to buy," which usually holds for a downtrend asset. But Zcash is not a straightforward asset:ZEC has once again touched above 1170; the privacy sector really has something going on this time. DASH surged over 60%+ in a week in tandem, and ZEC is around 1172 on OKEx today, up 3.86% in 24h — it's not fighting alone.
The drivers are quite clear: anticipation of Zcash's NU7 quantum upgrade is brewing, Grayscale's ZCSH spot ETF has provided institutions a legitimate buying channel, and Arthur Hayes publicly stated "ZEC should be worth 10% of BTC's price," which boosted sentiment. OKEx's 24h volume is 56.09 million USDT, volume is coming in, MA5/MA30/MA120 are aligned bullishly, the super trend at 1142 is supporting from below, structure is smooth.
My view: this is a sector repricing under the narrative of privacy scarcity, with ZEC as the core, but RSI at 64 is already a bit hot, so don't chase the high; watch how it digests this.
Watch two signals: whether the resistance line near 1178 (24h high at 1191 just overhead) can be broken with volume to hit new highs, and whether the super trend at 1142 holds on any pullback; also watch if the DASH and privacy sector correlation continues.

The target for the end of October is 2k units/week, maintaining overall momentum. Correspondingly, core suppliers are actively expanding capacity, including the implementation of automation upgrades and renovations on production lines, aiming to reach an overall weekly production of 2.5k+ by the end of the year, with capacity planning for next year underway. The rebound you observed is a fact, but the magnitude is relatively mild, more of a "stabilization after a decline" rather than a strong reversal. The core reason lies in the temporary easing of Federal Reserve rate hike concerns, while the plunge in oil prices has indirectly boosted risk assets. Why the rebound? · Cooling rate hike expectations: Previous statements from Federal Reserve officials did not signal further rate hikes, and the market's bet on an October rate hike dropped from a high level to about 15%, easing pressure on crypto and stock markets. · Oil price plunge assists: News of progress in Russia-US diesel trade caused a short-term plunge in international oil prices, which to some extent alleviated market fears of runaway inflation, leading to a rebound in risk appetite; US stock futures and Bitcoin rose simultaneously. · Sentiment and oversold recovery: Bitcoin previously dipped below $81,000; after panic sentiment was released, some bargain buying entered; meanwhile, the crypto fear and greed index shifted from "neutral" to "greedy" (59), indicating a warming sentiment. From noon to evening: rise or fall? Most likely to remain volatile, lacking momentum for a strong rise or fall, overall slightly neutral. · Bearish pressure (limited rise): Although rate hike expectations cooled, US inflation data (CPI/PPI) remain high, and the Fed still retains the possibility of tightening within the year. Additionally, recent net outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs have limited upward breakout potential. · Support exists (limited fall): Bitcoin showed strong resilience at the $80,000 level, as long as it does not break below $80,400-$81,000 Regarding BTC, some lost $3.26 million and chose to actively cut losses; others continued buying with an average price of $83,266, spending $235 million. One is exiting, the other is adding positions. If you only look at the candlestick chart, this is just a normal BTC rally from $79,725 to $82,450. But putting these two capital flows together raises a real question: When short-term funds start to withdraw, but long-term funds keep buying, is this a rebound opportunity or the start of a bigger divergence? What concerns me more is not who will definitely win, but why they make completely different choices. 1. Exiting with a $3.26 million loss does not necessarily mean bearish on BTC. Let's first look at the exiting side. According to market information, a large investor closed about $110 million worth of BTC long positions, losing about $3.26 million, then shifted funds to US stock longs. The most notable aspect of this trade is not the loss amount, but the choice to actively exit. A $110 million position losing $3.26 million equals about 2.96% of the nominal position value. Of course, this does not equal the actual margin loss ratio, but at least on the surface, this is not a position forced to liquidate. The choice to exit may mean they believe BTC's short-term upside is limited or that other markets offer better risk-reward. Moreover, they did not turn outright bearish but shifted to US stock longs. What does this imply? At least one possibility isLong-term bullish, short-term bearish, that's still my stance.
Being optimistic about the long-term development of BTC and the crypto market doesn't mean every pullback right now is worth buying. Long-term logic needs time to play out, but short-term prices rely on real money support. If buying power can't keep up, no matter how good the story is, it can't stop capital from withdrawing.
From October 12 to 16, the US BTC spot ETF saw a net outflow of $228.4 million, and ETH had a net outflow of $320.1 million. At least judging by this week's performance, capital hasn't signaled sustained accumulation. Especially for ETH, which has a smaller market cap than BTC but a larger outflow amount; it's hard for me to turn optimistic based on just one rebound.
However, a rate hike in December is still possible. Some institutions already expect another 25 basis points hike in December. If rate hike expectations heat up, the appeal of holding cash and bonds may increase, making it harder for the crypto market to attract incremental funds, affecting capital flows.
I'm short-term bearish; if ETFs continue to see net outflows, I'll remain cautious. If BTC and ETH see continuous inflows and prices find support on pullbacks, I'll have to adjust my view.
I guess BTC might be the first to see ETF capital inflows. Its liquidity, institutional recognition, and market consensus are stronger, so once capital flows back, it usually chooses BTC first.
Long-term, I focus on development; short-term, I watch the money flow. Bullish on the future, but also respecting where the money is going now.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ A bizarre scene: Last Friday, ETFs had a net redemption of 152 million, yet this morning BTC still stands at 82,400 — it's not the bulls topping out, but the shorts lining up to stop loss. Breaking down this 152 million: BTC was redeemed for 82.4 million, sold off by BlackRock and Fidelity; ETH redeemed 69.7 million, all from BlackRock alone. The big money outside the market didn't come back over the weekend.
Across the entire network, 313 million was liquidated in 24 hours, with longs accounting for 60%; in the last hour, 29.72 million was liquidated, with shorts accounting for 96%. The price did rise, but the shorts are keeping it alive. All three coins are green: SOL is the most aggressively added, ETH had the highest 24-hour liquidation at 94.09 million, BTC touched 82,405 with trading volume nearly doubling. The gainers and losers are at extremes — some up nearly 40%, others down 30%, while the mainstream coins are grinding within 1%, fear and greed index at 60, lukewarm.
Today is a macro event day: Q3 GDP, State Council Information Office press conference, Financial Street Forum,
Tomorrow LPR, tonight Canadian CPI, all queued up. Suggestions: 1. ETF redemptions + liquidations keep the rebound legs borrowed, don't chase longs before the events; 2. ETH has the most liquidations and the least gains, with the highest fee rate at 0.0091% among the three coins, shorts pay the price and get hit, bulls don't rush to catch; 3. It's a stock game, wait for the landing before choosing sides. Despite the rise, I remain still, saving bullets for when the boots drop.At 4 AM, $BTC was at 80,684. His stop loss was at 80,500. A difference of 184 dollars. 😬
The trader who opened a fully leveraged long position of 187 million dollars just exited.
$BTC: 1,355.6 coins were actively closed at 80,949, losing 3.26 million dollars.
$ETH: 4,890 coins were liquidated at 2,356, with a position value of 11.74 million dollars—right at the lowest point of the early morning.
Then immediately opened a 45.8 million dollar long position in US stocks: TSLA 34.65 million / DRAM 7.59 million / SOXL 3.85 million.
By the end of September, there was an unrealized profit of 19.7 million, but nearly 10 million was cut in one week. The direction was right, the mistake was "full leverage."#NetflixQ3AdsAndMargins

The market gives 72% odds of a beat. That's already priced in, so a beat alone isn't an edge.
What I'm watching:
Margins: the main driver of the price reaction
Ads: a real growth engine, or a patch for slowing growth?
Next-quarter guidance
Scenarios:
Beat + strong margins + raised guidance → continuation
Beat but flat guidance → "sell the news" risk Institutional funds are weakening, and BTC is highly likely to see inflows before ETH.
#Institutional funds are weakening, who will see inflows first, BTC or ETH?
In October, $BTC has seen outflows of about $617 million so far, while $ETH has faced more sustained pressure in the recent window.
ETF and treasury buying cannot fully absorb the supply released by long-term holders, and corporate accumulation is also slowing down.
Altcoins are even weaker, with 141 altcoins dropping an average of 14% last week, far exceeding BTC's approximately 3% decline.
I judge that BTC is more likely to see inflows first, mainly for three reasons:
First, the institutional channels are more mature.
BTC spot ETFs have net assets of about $100 billion, while ETH only has $15 billion. When uncertainty rises, institutions prioritize BTC as "digital gold" for allocation.
Second, the narrative better matches the current macro environment.
With hot inflation, high US Treasury yields, AI stock debt concerns, and geopolitical uncertainty, funds tend to avoid risk. BTC's macro hedge properties are more favored, while ETH depends more on risk appetite and on-chain activity recovery.
Third, historical patterns support this.
In past adjustments, BTC ETFs often first show narrowing outflows or improved inflows, followed by ETH, with institutional attention still focused on BTC.
Currently, the market is still dominated by macro factors. Going forward, the main focus is:
BTC net inflows turning positive (especially led by IBIT), corporate treasury accumulation restarting, and price support stabilizing around $80,000.$BTC accounts for 60% of the entire market, not because it got stronger
During the two days the US stock market was closed, money moved from other coins to $BTC.
Market cap is 1.63 trillion, nearly 60% of the entire market.
How this number is calculated: the denominator is the total market cap, not just looking at gains.
When other coins fall, its share is passively raised.
It itself hasn’t risen, just hovering around 81,000 along the 50-day moving average.
The drop in $ETH is different from $BTC: 10 consecutive days of ETF net outflows.
$XRP lacks a US spot ETF to support it; after breaking below the 50-day moving average, RSI dropped to 18.
A high share means money is shrinking back, not that new money is coming in.
#机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？
#$BTC $ETH $BTC price surged about $2000 from the morning session. However, the open interest data barely moved, with the 4-hour open interest showing almost no increase. The funding rate has also remained suppressed at a low level. Despite such a sharp rally, the data is rather flat, which is a bit unsettling. The volume of active buying pushing the price up is not significant; this rally seems more like a short squeeze.
Without follow-up volume support, the short-term momentum is hard to sustain. Looking at the 4-hour chart, the EMA lines are still diverging downward. The moving average system does not support this rebound. The major cycle's highs and lows continue to sink. The price has risen by two 4-hour ATRs in the last six hours, indicating the bulls' pace has slowed.
The current price just touched the 82,000 area, a 4-hour resistance level. This coincides with a 4-hour bearish FVG gap. The candlestick's upper shadow has already appeared. There is significant resistance above, causing the rally to stall here.
I am bearish on this level. With the 4-hour major resistance overhead, the market will likely pull back first. It would require large buy orders to break through.
$ETH $SOL #Institutional funds weaken, who will see inflows first, BTC or ETH? Today is Monday, October 19, 2026. The current crypto market is in a "weak recovery" phase. Macro inflation pressure and ETF capital outflows create resistance above, but on-chain whales accumulating and stablecoin buildup provide underlying support. BTC maintains a bottom above 80,000, while ETH faces more complex leverage liquidation risks. -------------------- News: Macro suppression dominates, compliance progress slow Bearish transmission chain is clear. US September CPI year-on-year at 3.7%, PPI both exceeded expectations, directly pushing concerns of delayed rate cuts or even rate hikes, triggering about $950 million in leveraged position liquidations last week, 90% of which were long positions. BTC spot ETFs have net outflows totaling about $910 million over two consecutive weeks, ETH ETFs saw a single-week outflow of $320.1 million, exceeding BTC ETF outflows, with institutional funds showing a short-term retreat trend. Compliance remains long-term bullish but no short-term buying. The CFTC's new proposal on crypto spot/leverage trading has been published, Deutsche Bank plans to launch institutional-grade custody, which is positive but will take time to implement. CME's probability of maintaining rates in October is about 83.9%, macro sentiment has slightly eased marginally but has not yet formed a reversal catalyst. -------------------- Technical: BTC consolidates with oscillation, ETH structure more fragile BTC: 80,000 is the pivot, with dense moving average resistance above. Over the weekend, it rebounded from a low of 80,621 to Big Brother Maji, who relies on rent for survival: making a fortune from rent, but nearly had his underlying assets forcibly liquidated and lost his property…

The market, project, and coin information, opinions, and judgments mentioned in this article are for reference only and do not constitute any investment advice. Written by 0xWeilan @ eMerge IS. This week, the US September CPI and PPI both exceeded expectations. International energy supply shocks and persistently high interest rates have once again become the main pricing themes in financial markets. Meanwhile, the AI industry chain's revenue growth, capital expenditure, and credit risk are under scrutiny, with previously strong Risk-on trades shifting to Risk-off. Funds are reallocating between assets and sectors: US Treasuries and the Dow Jones index rose, while Nasdaq, gold, and BTC declined.
Macro Finance: The Middle East conflict continues to disrupt energy transport expectations around the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude oil closed at $109.86 per barrel on October 16, up about 4.9% for the week. If supply risks persist, high energy prices will increase the difficulty of reducing US inflation through higher fuel, transportation, and raw material costs.
September CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, higher than August's 3.4%, and increased 0.6% month-on-month; core CPI rose 2.6% year-on-year and 0.3% month-on-month. PPI rose 6.3% year-on-year and 1.3% month-on-month, marking the largest single-month increase since March 2022. Final demand goods prices rose 2.6% month-on-month, service prices rose 0.8%, and transportation and warehousing services rose 3.4%. Energy was the main driver, but excluding food, energy, and trade services, the PPI month-on-month...There are less than two weeks left in October. Historically, October has been a very good month for Bitcoin. Below is Bitcoin's performance in October over the years. Since 2013, there has never been two consecutive years of decline. Historical data tells us that we can look forward to the next two weekly candles.
2013 +47.5%
2014 −12.6%
2015 +33.1%
2016 +15.0%
2017 +49.1%
2018 −3.9%
2019 +10.3%
2020 +26.8%
2021 +39.9%
2022 +5.5%
2023 +28.5%
2024 +11.0%
2025 −3.9%
2026 so far about −1.4% (OKX current price 82500, monthly open 83600)
Even at the current price, the monthly candle is quite healthy and still in a bull market cycle. On the day the US stock market fell, the average decline in the crypto market was 3.42%, while the three platform tokens only dropped an average of 1.3%—this "resilience" figure is being misinterpreted. $OKB fell 1%, $BNB fell 1.2%, and $HYPE slid from 82.44 to 78.95. The mild decline calculated after averaging these three conceals a key fact: the holders are offloading tokens, not new funds entering the market. This logic deserves a detailed breakdown. There are indeed buy orders beneath the platform tokens, so when the price dips, someone steps in, compressing the decline. But the identity of those taking the tokens determines the nature—they are existing holders rotating positions, not incremental buyers. In other words, the "resilience" the market sees is essentially liquidity circulating within existing holdings, not external capital voting with confidence. The clearest example is $BNB: it has dropped 37% year-to-date. When an asset can still resist a single-day drop after a deep correction, there are usually two explanations: either selling pressure is exhausted, or buying is passively absorbing. Considering $HYPE repeatedly touched 83 but never broke through, the answer leans toward the latter—there is clearly a group of funds near 83 waiting for an exit window, creating a supply wall each time it approaches. This is not accumulation; it’s queuing. From this, a discussion-worthy conclusion can be drawn: resilience and absorption are two completely different market states—the former depends on buying willingness, the latter on selling rhythm. When the narrowing declines of $OKB, $BNB, and $HYPE come from the latter, price stability is fragile and conditional. Buyback-style absorption can hold for a day, but not for a year.

$BTC $ETH #机构资金转弱，BTC与ETH谁先迎来回流？ ETF outflows of $228.4M for BTC and $320.1M for ETH over Oct 12-16 matter because they coincide with a stated gap between ETF and treasury demand and long-term-holder supply. The sharper 14% average decline across tracked altcoins suggests liquidity is still selective. A recovery can begin without immediate inflows, but durable leadership likely needs them.
#BTCETHInflowsWatch #Institutional funds weaken, who will see the first inflow, BTC or ETH? I have a say on this, and this wave of $BTC should at least rebound to 85000/86000
Let's first look at the ETF fund data from the past two weeks:
From October 5 to 9, the US spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $679 million, and the ETH ETF had a net outflow of about $542 million;
From October 12 to 16, BTC had a net outflow of about $228 million, and ETH had a net outflow of about $320 million.
In total over two weeks, BTC outflow was about $907 million, and ETH outflow was about $862 million.
$BTC: Fund recovery is more promising. Last week, BTC ETF net outflow narrowed by about 66% compared to the previous week, and on October 13, there was a single-day net inflow of $176 million, indicating that funds are not continuously withdrawing unilaterally.
Additionally, MicroStrategy and Strive both hinted at further accumulation, and they may announce it as soon as tomorrow.
$ETH: Fund pressure remains unresolved. Last week, ETH ETF net outflow actually expanded by about 41%. During the five trading days from October 12 to 16, there were four days of net outflow, with only October 13 recording a net inflow of $24.8 million. Fund recovery is clearly weaker than BTC. $HYPE has dropped by 20%, entering a pullback zone worth watching!
$HYPE has fallen about 22% from the high near $98, with analyst bullish sentiment ranking first among mainstream crypto assets, deviating from the sentiment mean by 2.3 standard deviations. One side is dropping heavily, the other is very optimistic—this contrast is definitely worth monitoring.
HYPE's confidence isn't just based on storytelling.
About 99% of Hyperliquid's qualified trading fees go into a fund to buy back HYPE, and the cumulative buyback scale is already quite substantial. The more active the platform trading, the stronger the buyback confidence, which is the biggest difference from tokens purely driven by sentiment speculation.
Buybacks don't equal capital protection. If trading volume declines, buyback strength may weaken; team token releases can also bring potential selling pressure. Analysts are unanimously bullish, but that means caution is needed as expectations might be too stretched, and there may not be much surprise when positive news is realized.
You can put HYPE on your watchlist, but don't rush to bottom-fish just because of the drop.
If fees and buybacks remain resilient, prices stop falling, and sustained buying appears, this pullback looks more like an opportunity; if prices continue to weaken and buybacks can't absorb selling pressure, it means the market hasn't bottomed yet.
I am optimistic about its business model, but the bottom has to be found by the market itself.

#Meta巨额AI投入进入回报检验期 Today is October 19, the anniversary of Black Monday. Wall Street every year on this day feels a bit like an ex's birthday — clearly it's long gone, but when the day comes, you can't help but feel uneasy. Over the weekend, tokenized AI stock contracts experienced a wave of liquidation first. Oil prices are high, US Treasury yields are also rising. BTC and ETH dipped down but then pulled back. According to this morning's data, BTC is hovering around 82,000, ETH has returned above 2,400, with a total market cap of about 2.785 trillion. A slight 1.4% drop in 24 hours. What’s really worth watching is the structure. The 10x Research weekly report says that among the 141 tokens they track, the average drop last week was 14%, while BTC only fell 3%. It's like dating: when things are calm, everyone thinks the new acquaintance is more interesting; but when there's a fight, you find out who actually replies to your messages. It's a normal risk-averse instinct for funds to shrink towards BTC in uncertain times. On the other hand, we need to look calmly: ETFs have net outflows, stablecoin supply is contracting, liquidity is indeed tight. But among the 164 analysts tracked by CryptoQuant, 84% are still bullish. So now it feels more like a cooling-off period, not a breakup. This week's calendar is quite full: today is China's Q3 GDP, followed by US housing data, initial jobless claims, PMI, all leading up to the Fed rate decision on October 28. These data points will gradually change the market's expectations for rate cuts. My observation is simple: during a volatile period, don't rush to prove yourself. Comfortable position sizing is more important than being right. Altcoins can be held.STRK surged 170% in nine days, then dropped back by half in six days.
Closed at 0.0443 on October 2, closed at 0.11955 on October 11.
The next day opened at 0.11948, surged intraday to a new high of 0.12687.
Then crashed to close at 0.09077, down 24% in a single day.
New high and crash happened on the same day.
There was a decent rebound in between.
On October 15, it rose 24.9%, pulling from 0.07724 to 0.09650.
The next day dropped 23.3% directly, closing at 0.07400, even lower than the bullish candle's open.
What really caught my attention was the volume.
October 11 had 76.4M, by October 18 it shrank to only 10.0M, down to 13%.
During the same period, BTC fell 3.3%, but volume actually increased to 183%.
ETH fell 6.2%, volume 177%. ZEC fell 13.7%, volume 208%.
The whole market was dropping with increasing volume, only this one with the sharpest drop had shrinking volume.
I don't think this is a panic sell.
Panic selling means people sell regardless of price, volume explodes.
Shrinking volume with halving price means fewer sellers, even fewer buyers, price slides down on sparse trades.
After a volume-driven drop, chips have changed hands, there can be a next round.
After a volume-shrinking drop, it just means no one is left, and no one wants to come in.
So I don't think this is a bottom. Shrinking volume only means fewer sellers, not that buyers have returned.
These two things look exactly the same on the chart but in opposite directions.

#ShrinkingVolumeHalving$BTC $ETH
🎯 ETH Brief | Current Price 2422.9 (+0.33%)
Conclusion: The trend is slightly bullish, but do not enter now; wait for a pullback.
3 Key Points
· Daily chart is still above EMA200 (2311); a double bottom at 2314/2328 has formed; 1h chart has a golden cross, 4h chart is pending golden cross. Bottom structure is established.
· However, there is resistance around 2437 above; $4.6 million long positions were just liquidated. Buy/Sell ratio = 0.23, ETH/BTC weakening. No upward momentum.
· Resistance lies between 2437 and 2441. Only breaking above 2441 counts as a start; failure to break means continued consolidation.
Action
⏸ Current price 2422 is right in the middle of a dense trading zone; entering now is unfavorable for both bulls and bears. Wait for a pullback before entering.
📍 Order range 2395-2415
🛡️ Stop loss 2355
🎯 Targets 2441 / 2493
⚠️ If the 4h close at 12:00 breaks above 2405, the golden cross is confirmed. If it falls below 2402, the bullish logic fails.
In short: No profit before 2441, only risk.Recently, multiple US economic data points such as CPI, PPI, and retail sales have significantly exceeded market expectations, boosting market anticipation of Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. Increasingly, funds are pricing in the possibility that the Fed will maintain a longer-lasting rate hike cycle. As a result, the technology and cyclical sectors have faced noticeable pressure; however, long-term US Treasury yields have actually declined, and gold prices have shown strong resilience against declines.
In my view, "US economic recession" has not yet become the mainstream trading logic in the market. The decline in long-term bond yields combined with firm gold prices is more driven by risk-averse capital: market volatility has triggered risk-averse buying inflows into US Treasuries, pushing down long-term Treasury yields and thereby highlighting gold's allocation value. Reviewing history, the gold sector has also exhibited similar risk-hedging characteristics as a dividend asset.
In Q3, the gold sector was disturbed by security inspection incidents, causing some listed companies' mineral production to decline quarter-on-quarter, but this is only a temporary impact. Currently, the overall sector valuation is at a historical low and ranks among the top tier in terms of growth within the non-ferrous metals category. The return of risk-hedging attributes is expected to become a new driving force to catalyze gold prices and boost the gold stock market.
#台积电Q3净利润超预期，盈利创历史新高 Narrative implementation perspective, distinguishing between concept warming and product launch realization
When a narrative first emerges, it stirs speculative expectations; however, when the product officially lands, it often leads to a sell-off as the positive news is realized. Expectations are speculated ahead, and landing means realization.
$BTC judges whether the market can support a new narrative rally, while $ETH observes the capital absorption capacity after the sector's landing. Layered screening: small positions can be used to speculate before the narrative lands, but be cautious about chasing highs after landing.
Tracking target list:
🟠BTC｜Market benchmark
🔵ETH｜Absorption capacity gauge
🟣LINK｜Oracle
🟢FET｜AI encryption
🔷MKR｜RWA sector
Key observation of BTC and ETH relative strength:
When the narrative lands and both BTC and ETH remain strong, the positive momentum may continue; if the market weakens and projects land, it is highly likely to trigger a sell-off as the positive news is realized.
