October 21 Live | Long and short positions both liquidated, ETF funds show reversal
BTC fluctuates between 82,200-82,500, ETH consolidates around 2,543.
Mass liquidations on both sides: 24h total network liquidations reached 406 million, shorts 225 million, longs 181 million. ETH short liquidations at 82.94 million, BTC short liquidations at 78.34 million, shorts suffered heavier losses during the rebound.
ETF funds show reversal: BTC spot ETF net inflow of 297 million in one day (BlackRock inflow 160 million), ETH net inflow of 30.85 million. The previous continuous outflow trend was interrupted, which is a positive signal.
Whale heavily bets on longs: A whale opened 140 million long positions on Hyperliquid (BTC longs 102 million, ETH longs 38.67 million).
Today's focus: Solana Alpenglow upgrade launched at 14:50 UTC, final confirmation time will be shortened to 150 milliseconds, watch for SOL market volatility.
Macro pressure unresolved: High US debt, strong dollar, rising oil prices limit risk assets.
Key levels:
BTC resistance above 82,500-83,800, support below at 80,607 (50-day EMA).
ETH resistance above 2,543, support at psychological level 2,500, break below targets 2,345.
In short: ETF fund inflow is a positive signal, but macro pressure remains. Do not chase shorts, wait for pullback confirmation before lightly trying longs. Focus on SOL today.
