An American state bank with over a hundred years of operation has just chosen Solana. Meanwhile, Ethereum is quietly restructuring its underlying layer.
Let's first look at Solana.
The only state bank in North Dakota—Bank of North Dakota, established in 1919 and operating for over a century—has launched Roughrider Coin on Solana. This is not a pilot; it is a formal deployment connecting more than 90 financial institutions through the Fiserv platform.
A century-old bank did not choose Held on for a year, even the whales couldn't bear the losses and cut their losses.
From June to August last year, someone bought 6,500 ETH at $3,040. Then, ETH kept falling.
At the worst point, they had an unrealized loss exceeding $9.55 million. They held on and didn't sell.
A year later, ETH returned to around $2,664. They chose to deposit into Coinbase and sell everything. They lost $2.443 million, a 12.3% asset shrinkage.
They endured a $9.5 million unrealized loss but finally cut losses at $2.44 million.
It’s not that they didn’t want to wait for a break-even, but they had waited enough. Over a year, ETH dropped from 3,000 to below 2,000, then rebounded to 2,700, never reaching their cost basis. Every rebound gave hope, then it fell back again.
When they bought at 3,040, the market was probably shouting "ETH will hit 4,000." They believed it and bought. A year later, they didn’t see 4,000 but hit their stop-loss.
This is the most realistic retail investor story. Buying at the peak, enduring all the pain, and finally giving up just short of breaking even.
Can you endure a $9.5 million unrealized loss? I can't.
The above is compiled from on-chain data and does not constitute any trading advice.
$ETH $BTC Last night I said: Data saved the market, but funds did not.
A night has passed, and the market gave me half a slap and half an answer.
Let's start with the slap in the face. BTC retreated from 86,609 to 84,593.6, down 0.85%, basically giving back the gains from the non-farm payroll surge. ETH at 2,676.2, down 0.77%. SOL at 119.06, down 0.74%. The worst was ZEC, at 1,320.7, down 3.76%—I said yesterday it was lagging, and today it directly caught down. The total market cap of the entire network is 2.89 trillion, shrinking by 0.42%.
Regarding "not funds entering the market," I admit this with the price drop.
But there is a change I have to honestly mention.
The daily net value of BTC ETFs turned positive. Yesterday it was a net outflow of 9.8 million USD, today it became a net inflow of 2.4 million. Don't be fooled by just 2.4 million; this means the direction has changed. Looking at the longer term, the entire month of September saw Bitcoin ETFs net inflows of 2.65 billion USD, the second highest since October 2025. This institutional line has not broken.
What’s more worth pondering is the trading volume. The 24-hour volume expanded to 121 billion, up 23.92%. Price is falling, volume is surging.
This is called a volume-increasing decline. But I don't think it's panic selling.
Look at the other side: the discussion heat on the planet is only 3,150, down 36.37% in one day. Sentiment is retreating, retail investors are cooling off. Yet ETFs are buying.
This looks more like emotional traders are cutting losses while institutions are accumulating. It's turnover, not escape.
The macro needle is also very critical. September non-farm payrolls were only 29,000, expected 90,000; July turned from positive to negative, August was revised down from 162,000 to 133,000, a combined revision down of about 60,000 over two months. The probability of no change in October has soared to 85%. The 2-year US Treasury yield dropped to 4.71%, the 10-year returned to 5.16%. The short end finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But don’t celebrate too early. Before the October 28th rate decision, only CPI remains as a key data point. If inflation again exceeds expectations, last night’s script can be torn up overnight. This is the thunder hanging overhead.
Here’s my judgment:
BTC 84,600 is the short-term watershed. Holding above 83,858 (today’s low) counts as a shakeout, with the first target above at 86,000; breaking below means good news is exhausted, next target directly at 82,000.
ETH follows BTC, no independence. SOL is elastic and rebounds quickly but is most sentiment-driven. ZEC’s privacy sector funds are withdrawing; a 3.76% drop is not a bargain but a signal, don’t rush to buy.
In one sentence: Price is retreating, funds are entering. This is the most counterintuitive time and also the most opportunity-prone.
So here’s a sharp question for you: ETF turning positive, price falling, which do you believe? Are institutions quietly accumulating, or are retail investors carrying institutions? Share your judgment and position in the comments.

The price hits a new low, but the RSI doesn't follow with a new low; instead, it rises.
This divergence indicates that the downward momentum is weakening and the selling pressure is exhausting.
You don't need ten indicators stacked up; just looking at the relationship between price and RSI can reveal this signal.
Divergence is an early signal, not a confirmation signal.
What you really need to wait for is the price to start reclaiming lost ground, such as rising back above the short-term moving average or breaking through the previous rebound high.Conclusion first: The metaverse sector collectively ignited today, with SAND up 47% in 24h, and ENJ is an overlooked follower, up 15% in 24h.
Data laid out:
SAND 0.044→0.0655, volume $380 million
MANA 0.089→0.0975
GALA 0.0023→0.0026
ENJ 0.030→0.0346
ENJ's 4H structure is very clean: last week it ranged 0.029-0.031 for the whole week, with daily average volume under 2 million tokens. Yesterday suddenly a 4H candle shot up to 0.0405, volume surged to 32 million tokens, 15 times the previous candles. It pulled back to close at 0.0328, then three candles consolidated with shrinking volume between 0.032-0.036, no further drop.
Currently at 0.0346, 0.036 is the immediate resistance. If broken, it will revisit the upper shadow at 0.040. SAND's 47% surge is fierce; how long the follower coins can keep up depends on the next 48 hours.
Do you think ENJ is purely following SAND, or can it really test 0.04 on its own? $ENJ$ZEC BOUNCES, BUT THE STRUCTURE STILL NEEDS PROOF.
Watching ZEC/USDT at 1,319.97 after dropping to 1,271.40 from the 1,412.45 high. On the 1h, price sits above EMA5 and EMA10 but below EMA20 at 1,331.94. I'm staying patient until resistance flips. What would confirm strength for you?
#OKXTraderVoices Employment data was weaker than expected, but the market's first reaction was not to worry about the economy, rather a sigh of relief.
Poor data means less pressure for continued monetary tightening, so money is more willing to flow into risk assets. Tech stocks led the charge, with the Nasdaq hitting a record intraday high, and the S&P and Dow rising for two consecutive days.
But on the other side, it was not calm: U.S. Treasuries were sold off again, yields formed a V-shaped intraday move, crude oil plunged due to the G7's plan to release reserves, and gold and silver declined throughout the week.
The significance of this combination for $BTC is that its current rhythm is tightly linked to macro liquidity— as long as the market believes interest rates have peaked, funds are willing to allocate more to high-volatility assets.
Whether this asset can hold onto this wave of sentiment depends not on daily price swings but on two things: whether U.S. Treasury yields will push back up, and whether upcoming employment and inflation data will overturn the logic that "weak data is good news."
If yields continue to rise and funds flow back into bonds, risk asset sentiment will cool down first.
So right now, it feels more like expectations are driving the market rather than fundamentals genuinely improving. $BTC $ETH #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 Anthropic is targeting an IPO in mid-November, with a potential valuation reaching up to $2 trillion — the formal roadshow is expected to start as early as the week of November 9, with trading anticipated to begin before Thanksgiving (November 26).
The May 2026 funding round was completed at a valuation of $965 billion, raising $65 billion.
The most astonishing figure here is, of course, the "$2 trillion" valuation — this means that Anthropic as a single company would be approaching the annual GDP of many countries.
But beyond the numbers, what’s noteworthy is the timing it represents: AI leading companies moving from "private funding" to "public listing" signifies that this sector is officially entering the "public market pricing" phase.
The AI narrative is shifting from "bets by a few funds" to "stocks available for everyone to buy."
Previously, we discussed how AI consumes massive amounts of computing power and electricity, with energy becoming a bottleneck, and related infrastructure stocks (like optical interconnects) benefiting — the real fuel behind this is such massive capital expenditure.
The IPO is a key answer to the question of "where the money comes from" in this chain:
The primary market funds are no longer sufficient, so money must be raised from the secondary market.
And every additional penny poured into AI increases the demand for computing power, electricity, and the infrastructure to "measure and settle computing power."After 10 days of trading, today felt like the most exhausting session.
$BTC survived a $2.5K drop and is still down around $700. If $85.2K fails as support, the next consolidation zone could be $83K–$85K.
$ETH is around $2,702. I opened a short on 20 ETH with a max loss of $1,500. Thankfully, ETH weakened enough for me to exit safely and enjoy a pork knuckle meal. 😅
If $2,700 breaks, the next range to watch is $2,650–$2,695.

#BTCETHETFOutflows
#USTreasuryYieldsSurge There won't be much news before the 14th, but from PCE to non-farm payrolls, the expectations for rate hikes have been continuously weakening. The market momentum has mostly been consumed during this period, especially last night's US stock market, which felt a bit breathless. My personal expectation is to look for a pullback and bearish trend before October 12, roughly back to around 81000. It's the weekend now, so there's not much liquidity, but market makers tend to use liquidity to sweep stops back and forth, especially with $ETH. I suggest not trading during the weekend. However, I think $HYPE is worth watching; I plan to short one position around 89.4 over the weekend 8 million ZRO tokens, 14.98 million USD, have entered Coinbase Prime.
This wallet received 40.57 million tokens from a LayerZero strategic partner a year ago, and now less than one-fifth has moved.
Honestly, my first reaction to this kind of news is not panic, but fatigue.
Tokens from a strategic partner, unlocked and held for a year, are now moving to exchanges—if you say this is preparation to dump, the evidence is insufficient; if you say it’s completely fine, that doesn’t seem right either.
But the direction is clear: this batch of chips has started moving.
The biggest mistake retail investors make is seeing the words "transferred to exchange" and immediately imagining a crash, then nervously selling at a loss.
My attitude: don’t panic, but take note.
If these two addresses continue moving tokens to exchanges later, then it’s worth paying serious attention. For now, treat these 8 million as a signal, not a conclusion.
#SEC主席Atkins称将推进链上募资规则明确化
#美参议院提出新加密税收法案ADAPT $ZRO BTC briefly surged to 87,000 last night, then was sharply pushed back to 84,600.
This is already the third failed attempt to break 87,000.
The first was in late September. The second was on September 24, triggering $280 million long liquidations within 4 hours. The third was last night—despite poor employment data, a significant cooling of rate hike expectations, a broad rally in US stocks, and Nvidia hitting a new high.
All the positive factors were given to you, yet you still can’t hold above 87,000.
This is the real question that needs to be clearly understood today.
📊 Let’s first clarify the current market status
Price position: BTC is oscillating around 84,000, having experienced a rollercoaster this week from “82,000 → 87,000 → 84,000.” On the 4-hour chart, the price is just being suppressed by the EMA50 (83,986 USD).
Key levels: Resistance above lies between 85,500 and 87,300 USD, where Glassnode data shows a dense wall of sell orders. Support below is at 77,200 USD, which is the average holding cost line of active investors (True Market Mean); breaking below this could weaken the current upward momentum.
Capital flow: The good news is ETF net inflows have returned, with $102.7 million net inflow on October 1, of which BlackRock’s IBIT alone took $195 million. Q3 ETF net inflows reached $6.34 billion, a quarterly high for the year. The bad news is—after nearly $1 billion single-day inflow on September 21, the inflow pace has clearly slowed, dropping to $24 million on September 28.
Sentiment: The Fear & Greed Index dropped from 72 to 67, indicating cooling greed.
Macro: September nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000, with the previous two months revised down by 60,000, and unemployment rising to 4.2%. Market pricing for October rate hikes plunged from 70% a week ago to less than 20%.
🔍 But here’s an overlooked detail
Everyone is focused on the cooling rate hike expectations, thinking it’s bullish.
But look at the 10-year US Treasury yield—after the nonfarm data release, it briefly fell from 5.34% to 5.15%, then quickly rebounded above 5.27%.
What fell has all risen back.
What does this mean? The market verbally says "rate hike expectations are cooling," but the bond market votes with its feet saying "long-term rates won’t come down."
BTC’s current rebound has never followed FedWatch; it follows US Treasury yields. If Treasury yields don’t fall, BTC can’t rise. It’s that simple.
🎯 Three scenario simulations
Scenario A: Hold above 85,000, break out above 87,000 with volume
Probability: Medium
Trigger: ETF net inflows exceed $100 million daily for more than 3 consecutive days, or new institutional allocation announcements (e.g., pension funds, sovereign wealth funds) appear.
Direction: Target 90,000–92,000.
How to act: Don’t chase at 86,000. Wait for price to break above 87,000, then retest 85,000 without breaking it, and volume to significantly increase before entering on the right side. Only a breakout with volume counts; a low-volume fake breakout will just cause you losses again.
Warning signal: If price stands above 87,000 but ETF inflows shrink, it’s likely another fake breakout.
Scenario B: Range-bound between 82,000 and 87,000
Probability: Relatively high
Trigger: ETF inflows and outflows alternate, no new macro variables. Market enters a "waiting for the next catalyst" mode.
Direction: Continue bottoming. Don’t expect direction; wait for the next variable.
How to act: Buy low, sell high within the range. Buy near 82,000, reduce near 86,000. But honestly, most people aren’t suited for frequent trading in a choppy market—the small spreads you earn won’t cover fees and emotional costs.
More pragmatic approach: If your position is heavy, reduce some above 85,000; if light, consider buying near 82,000. Don’t do anything in the middle.
Scenario C: Break below 82,000 support
Probability: Low but must be guarded against
Trigger: 10-year Treasury yield surges back above 5.4%, or geopolitical conflicts escalate, pushing oil prices up and triggering new inflation concerns.
Direction: Retest 78,000–80,000, extreme case down to 77,200 (True Market Mean support).
How to act: Cut losses decisively if it breaks below 82,000; don’t fantasize. Wait for price to stabilize and climb back above 82,000 before considering entry. 77,200 is the bottom line; breaking it means a new story.
Have you noticed—each of the three attempts had stronger bullish factors than the last.
The first relied on sentiment, the second on technicals, the third on employment data collapse + halved rate hike expectations + Nvidia new highs.
The result? Each high was lower than the previous one.
In technical analysis, this is called a "lower high"—usually a sign of trend exhaustion, not accumulation.
Of course, on-chain data offers some comfort: about 50,000 BTC flowed out of exchanges in the past two weeks, exchange balances dropped to a six-year low, and supply is tightening. This means selling pressure is decreasing.
But supply tightening is just a condition; demand explosion is the catalyst. Without new funds coming in, tighter supply just means "no one is selling," not "many are buying."
Don’t mistake "no sellers" for "buyers present."
Stop focusing on FedWatch. Focus on the 10-year Treasury yield.
If Treasury yields don’t fall below 5%, BTC hitting 87,000 is a dream. If Treasury yields surge back above 5.4%, 82,000 won’t hold.
The real scenario isn’t in the Fed’s words, but in bond market prices.
$BTC $SPCX $NVDA #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% Employment data only increased by 29,000, far below the expected 90,000, which should have been positive for gold.
But after a brief surge, gold prices turned down, closing down 0.95% at $4162, while silver fell 1.24% to $60.4.
The issue is not with the data, but with the bond market.
The 10-year US Treasury yield earlier this week hit the highest level since 2002, with the 30-year around 5.57%.
Gold does not yield interest, and with risk-free yields at a more than twenty-year high, the holding cost is too high.US September Nonfarm Payrolls: 29,000. Expected 90,000. A full threefold difference.
July and August data were also revised down by a total of 60,000 jobs. Unemployment rate rose from 4.1% to 4.2%.
Once the data was released, CME FedWatch showed the probability of keeping rates unchanged in October jumped directly from 78% to 86.2%. Traders no longer fully price in at least one more rate hike this year.
What about the US stock market? The Dow rose 0.49%, the S&P 0.74%, and the Nasdaq 1.19%.
NVIDIA hit an intraday all-time high, with a market cap approaching $5.7 trillion, less than $300 billion away from $6 trillion.
And Bitcoin?
At the moment the data came out, BTC briefly surged to $87,000, then — pulled back. Currently at $84,643, down 0.7% in 24 hours.
Employment data is positive, US stocks went crazy, but Bitcoin got stuck.
This is no coincidence. Looking at these three sets of data together, you’ll find a very clear pattern.
📊 Data ① — Employment: The positive impact has landed, but was eaten up by AI stocks
Don’t rush to celebrate.
September nonfarm payrolls of 29,000 looks like a “positive for risk assets,” right? Poor employment → Fed won’t dare to hike → loose liquidity → positive for Bitcoin.
But the market didn’t react that way.
Nasdaq rose 1.19%, NVIDIA hit an all-time high. The liquidity expectations brought by employment data were all intercepted by AI stocks.
Funds didn’t flow into Bitcoin, but into NVIDIA, Tesla, SpaceX, Broadcom, ASML. All gains are AI narratives.
What’s more painful: The Fed just hiked 25 basis points last month to 3.75%-4.00%, the first hike in three years, still hawkish. Even if no hike in October, the probability of at least one more hike this year remains 86.8%.
Employment data is positive. But Bitcoin didn’t benefit from this positive.
📊 Data ② — Fund flows: Inflowing, but not enough to break $87,000
Look at ETF funds.
Bitcoin spot ETFs had net inflows of $3.1 billion over 9 consecutive days, the strongest wave this year. On Wednesday, there was a net outflow of $148.7 million, ending the streak.
But on Thursday it immediately recovered: single-day net inflow of $103 million, BlackRock IBIT led with $196 million net inflow, total net asset value $109.3 billion.
Funds are not systematically withdrawing. But the willingness to chase above $85,000 is clearly insufficient.
IBIT alone carried $196 million, other ETFs either zero inflow or net outflow. Fidelity FBTC had a single-day net outflow of $60.73 million.
This is not a broad-based inflow, it’s BlackRock alone holding the line.
📊 Data ③ — Price: $87,000 is an iron ceiling, three attempts all failed
Technicals are more straightforward.
BTC tried three times to break $87,000, three failures. Formed a small double top structure. $85,000 became resistance, $82,000-$83,000 became support.
Glassnode data is even harsher: the amount of long-term holder coins clustered in the $84,000 to $85,000 range is higher than any other price range. Price must break and hold above this range for the rally to continue.
More worrisome: BTC’s Bull Score remains at 90/100 but shows signs of fatigue. Profit-taking activity is increasing, derivatives trading volume hit one of the largest single-day records in 2026.
Translation: Someone is selling.
🔗 Putting the three data sets together, the conclusion is one sentence:
Employment positive → eaten by AI stocks
Fund inflows → just enough to support, not enough to break through
Price → $87,000 iron ceiling, break means $90,000+, no break means continued consolidation
💡 So what are we waiting for now?
Waiting for a catalyst. Either continuous large ETF inflows (not $100 million level, but over $500 million), or macro unexpectedly positive (e.g., Fed clearly signaling pause in hikes).
Before that, $82,000 to $87,000 is the current battleground.
Bitcoin isn’t not rising, it just can’t rise.
It’s not that no one is buying, it’s that buyers aren’t aggressive enough.
🎯 To be honest.
Last night’s data combination, in any normal market environment, Bitcoin should have broken $87,000.
But it didn’t.
What does this mean? It means the market is waiting for a stronger signal. Not the “poor employment” old positive that’s been digested repeatedly, but the moment the Fed truly turns.
AI stocks are absorbing all liquidity, Bitcoin is waiting in the cracks.
This is the real current pattern.
$87,000, break means $90,000+. No break, continue grinding.
$BTC $ETH $NVDA #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% After the weak data release, $BTC dropped sharply from a high of $86,700 to around $84,000, and $ETH weakened in sync, with prices falling from the intraday high of $2,779 to around $2,648.
The market logic is that although the weak nonfarm data reduces the probability of a Fed rate hike in October (from 29% down to 17%), traders are more concerned about the economic outlook weakening, which suppresses corporate profits and risk appetite.$MSTU Damn it! It's quiet outside, the market is dog-eat-dog, this kind of scene old pros have seen many times.
MSTU was strongly pulled up to 43.958, but the volume can't keep up, clearly a manipulative dealer fishing with a sickle. Don't get carried away, chasing longs at this level is just feeding bullets to the dealer. Pure capital-driven pull, no news support, basically a bull trap before a shakeout.
I'm placing a SELL order, shorting near 43.95, stop loss must be set at 45.2; if it breaks 45, I'll admit defeat. Downside targets are first 41, then more aggressively 39.5.

(This is only a personal review, not investment advice, control your position size and always set stop loss)Good morning! After making trades, I actually feel that waking up early every day is very fulfilling. The first thing I do when I open my eyes in the morning is definitely to check the market. For me, trading is also a form of inner growth. I am a fire sign and a bit impatient, but in the trading market, I simply can't be impatient at all, so it really tests my overall emotional stability. Recently, I made a few trades. I was holding positions, but actually, this is unhealthy. If you do short-term trading, you need a short-term approach; if you do long-term trading, you need a long-term mindset. I happened to be stuck in the middle, doing short-term trades while thinking about long-term profits, which led to me enduring these trades with difficulty. I'm very grateful that I didn't fall victim to this wrong approach. Buffett once said, "If I knew where I was going to die, I would never go there." So before trading, you must calmly analyze and avoid big pitfalls first. Then think about how to earn your share. Doing the right key things, with a broad vision combined with imaginative and proactive thinking beyond conventional frameworks, is ten thousand times better than shooting blindly. Because the market is always there, don't rush; what is yours will eventually be yours. Maintaining a good mindset and trying to be at ease in the market is always better than just holding positions stubbornly. Wishing everyone all the best and continued success!Nonfarm payrolls shocked, the October rate hike is basically killed, but don't rush to celebrate a fully dovish outcome. Bitcoin once surged past 87,000 and closed near 86,600, up about 3% for the day; Ethereum falsely broke through 2,770 but then dropped back to 2,660, closing down on the daily chart. Macro gave some sweetness, but liquidity didn't catch it, which is the biggest divergence between the two. The stock market ate it all up, with the Nasdaq hitting another intraday all-time high, and the Dow and S&P following suit. Gold couldn't hold at the 4,220 level and fell back to around 4,140. US Treasury yields rose instead of falling, which is the most worrisome signal in this rebound. Weak nonfarm payrolls changed expectations for October but not for December. $BTC $ETHOn Saturday morning, I checked the BTC perpetual contracts thoroughly — spot price around 84635, contracts close at 84591, funding rate slightly negative at about -0.0013%, with open interest nominally still at 2.42 billion. Slightly lower compared to Shanghai's opening at 85330 at midnight, daily high touched 85510, daily low 83884.
The funding rate hasn't turned positive, and OI hasn't clearly dropped; short-term focus is whether it can hold above the daily high of 85510; if it falls back to around 84100, don't try to hold hard. $ETH is hovering near 2681, rhythm not yet aligned.

This is not investment advice, the market carries risks, please trade cautiously. The $387 million theft on Bitget is not just about "another exchange hack," but about the fact that cross-chain money laundering and on-chain tracking of crypto assets are entering the AI-to-AI phase.
Chainalysis disclosed that after the attack on September 24, within just three hours, about $387 million was quickly distributed across four chains through 23 transfers: Ethereum at 49.7%, XRP at 40.8%, Zcash at 7.6%, and TRON at 1.8%. The attacker then used cross-chain liquidity protocols to convert XRP into BTC, with tens of millions of dollars flowing over about a day and a half, eventually reaching the attacker's BTC address, which is still under surveillance.
This path is typical: first quickly diversify assets, then switch to cross-chain conversion, and finally enter addresses that are harder to link directly with. In the past, manual tracking for this operation could take a lot of time, but Chainalysis said that this time, using internal AI and automation tools, the cross-chain reconciliation, which originally took over 20 hours, was compressed into under 10 minutes.
Here, an interesting contrast emerges: attackers use automation and cross-chain tools to speed up fund transfers, while investigators are using AI to speed up fund tracking. Transparency in the crypto world is entering a new phase; on-chain funds are not disappearing, but are constantly changing form across different networks and protocols.
More concerning, Chainalysis said this incident attributed to North Korea-related attackers will make its 2026 North Korea-related statistics count$CIEN AI Optical Communication Dual Leaders Brief Review: CIEN Stable Moat, LITE Strong Resilience
The explosive demand for AI computing power is driving a major upgrade cycle for global submarine optical cables. CIEN and LITE are the core dual targets in optical infrastructure, with clear complementary advantages in high and low segments.
CIEN has completed its transformation into a leader in AI network infrastructure, monopolizing 60% of the global market share for submarine cable terminal equipment. It masters core technology for ultra-long-distance high-speed transmission, with ample order backlog and visibility extending to 2028. Its performance growth is highly certain, making it suitable for medium-term stable allocation.
The upstream optical chip leader LITE has stronger resilience in its sector, deeply tied to submarine cable upgrades and AI computing interconnection demand. Technically, the daily chart has ended its adjustment and entered the main rising phase. $1002 is a key support level; stabilization there is a good entry point, with a target of $1236.

In the past week, Bitcoin whales collectively reduced their holdings by about 30,000 coins, valued at approximately $2.52 billion at the time.
But this is a statistical measure, not a specific individual dumping.
During the same period, another set of data shows that whale holdings were overall "basically flat," with significant differences among various tracking tools.$BTC In the next three months, my judgment is straightforward: October will be a time to consolidate and digest the trapped positions, and the main battlefield for this bull market rally will be in the fourth quarter and beyond. The current price is $86,800, just hitting the highest since September 23, but the real tough battle is still ahead.
First, let's look at the fundamentals. BTC surged 43% in Q3, the strongest quarter since Q4 2024, and this rally was driven by real institutional money — spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $6.3 billion in Q3, pulling this year's net flow back into positive territory, with BlackRock's IBIT alone accounting for 80% of that. More importantly, leverage has been cleaned out: futures open interest dropped to 644,000 contracts, the lowest since January this year. Without a bunch of people adding leverage on top, the foundation of this rally is actually stable. Citi just raised their 12-month target from 82,000 to... no, actually up to 113,000, and their model's median year-end estimate is also around 98,000.
But don't get too excited yet, there's a lot of supply overhead. The $84,000–86,500 range holds about 1.39 million BTC, and $88,000–90,000 is another dense supply zone. So October will likely see repeated grinding or even a fake breakdown; only a strong volume-backed break and hold above $87,300 will truly open up space. The next target is $95,000–97,000, and beyond that is the 100,000 mark.
The key to the rhythm lies in macro factors: the Fed meeting on October 28 is the biggest quarterly variable, with the 10-year US Treasury yield above 5.2% and oil prices breaking $100, all weighing on risk appetite. The support at $82,000 is the lifeline. $BTC structure has turned bullish, with the price running close to the upper edge within a narrow range. The 1-hour buy side is dominant, whale movements align with the daily trend, and pullbacks are opportunities to go long with the trend. Enter by placing an order at the Bollinger middle band at 84525.2, which coincides with the recent consolidation pivot and is the most solid position for a pullback catch. The upper target is the resistance wall at 86081.5, and the stop loss is set just below the 20-period swing low at 84375. A break below here indicates the pullback has turned into a breakdown, invalidating the bullish logic. The main risk is that the overall 24-hour trend remains weak, and net active selling in the market is negative. If selling pressure intensifies, it may first sweep downward before rebounding.Soft employment ≠ automatic long positions: wages low for five years, interest rate hikes press down about 20%, growth panic is also lining up
Nonfarm soft, participation rate rises to 61.8%, wages year-on-year about 3% (public reports about the lowest since May 2021) — more like "soft but not collapsing," not an overnight crash. OKX BTC≈84600, ETH≈2680, ZEC≈1319 (ZEC retreated about 4% from the Asian open at around 1372), don't just look at the big coins for color.
My own stance (not a trade call): ① October maintains narrative dominance (publicly about 82%) ≠ immediate full risk appetite; ② weekend range about 83.9–87.2, break below 84,000 reduce risk first; ③ altcoins follow the rise but not the stability, ZEC category chases the color.

Poll: A Liquidity narrative dominates first / B Growth panic more real, deleverage first / C Just defend the boundary over the weekend?Made money but feel more anxious than losing money, who understands this feeling?
Brothers, I opened my account and saw that $BCH and $SOL, these two old pals, really made me proud, but also pushed me to the edge of a cliff.
Position update:
BCH: MVP of the whole market! Full 10X leverage, entry at 261.02, mark price 313.40, unrealized profit +326.47U, ROI as high as +167.10%! Position value 1,953.68U, margin 195.37U. SOL: steady and solid! Full 20X leverage, entry at 115.63, mark price 119.03, unrealized profit +179.79U, ROI +57.12%.
$ETH: forever the drag. Full 5X leverage, entry at 2718.24, mark price 2677.44, slight loss -33.17U (-7.62%). $BCH $ETH $SOL
Clearly BCH earned 167%, SOL earned 57%, total unrealized profit over 470U, but I just can’t smile at all! Why? Because the overall margin ratio is stuck at 0.29%!
What does 0.29% mean? As long as the market makes a 0.3% spike, this 470U profit plus principal will instantly evaporate on the spot! No time to react. Having experienced big storms, from deep LTC and BCH traps, to ZEC’s resurrection, to BCH doubling now, I know too well the suffocating feeling of desperately testing the edge of liquidation.
My rational mind keeps pounding: close the position immediately! Take the profit! Pocket this 167% gain!
But the gambler’s mind is screaming: what if BCH surges to 320? What if the big bull market really comes? Wouldn’t it be a huge regret to run now?
I’m really tired of waking up in the middle of the night to check liquidation prices. This 0.29% number is like a knife hanging over my head; no matter how much I earn, it’s just a number on paper until I cash out—it’s all at the mercy of the market.
Brothers, do you think I dare to hold this position overnight tonight? Should I just clear it and sleep well? Please wake me up in the comments!
#美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2%
#BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温
#美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 There are indeed traders on Kalshi betting on reaching $92,000 in October, but this target appeared on October 1st, when #BTC was around 86,357, and the four-hour structure remained bullish.
Calling it a "market consensus" is not accurate.
Another contract from the same period shows that traders price the probability of reaching 90,000 this month at about 56%, reaching 87,500 at about 72%, and reaching 100,000 at only 9%.#BTC、ETH spot ETFs simultaneously see outflows, cooling capital heat #US September nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000, unemployment rate rose to 4.2% Just saw from mid-term intelligence brother: an old address dormant for 15.4 years since May 2011 moved, transferring 20.43 $BTC, about 1.7 million USD,

Last night BTC dropped from 87,200 to 85,200, $ETH from 2,777 to 2,690, basically using data to sweep liquidity;

Old coins waking up does not mean selling, hold core positions steady, bullish unchanged, waiting for upward acceleration.Nonfarm payrolls hit +29,000, crypto surged close to 87k then retraced back to 84.6k over the weekend — is the good news fully priced in or just normal digestion?
Confirmed: September nonfarm payrolls only +29,000 (consensus around 84,000–90,000), unemployment rose to 4.2%, monthly wage growth just +0.1%. Public reports show FedWatch holding around 82–83% probability, with rate hike odds down to about 18%. On OKX, BTC≈84600, 24h high about 87238, low about 83884 — bullish pulse pushed price up first, then half was given back over the weekend.
My own stance (not a trade call): ① Don’t treat "touching 87k" as a confirmed breakout, consider the weekend as digestion; ② Watch the range: whether it holds above low 84k, and if daily can reclaim 85.5k; ③ Soft employment is good for liquidity, but don’t forget growth fears — better to have less position than full.

Poll: A Good news fully priced, wait and see / B Retracement to boundary swing / C Stay flat and avoid trading over weekend? Glassnode says BTC absorbed the major sell wall near USD 85,000, leaving thinner overhead liquidity. This may reduce short-term resistance, but I’ll watch whether BTC holds 85K before judging the breakout.

#USNFPDataCools
#USTreasuryYieldsSurge Setting a stop loss does not mean it will be executed
On the first day of October, a $BTC short position lost 6472.
The price rose from 83123 to 87239, up more than 4000 points.
What was the stop loss price:
The stop loss was set at 85400, it should have closed at that price.
But the hand didn’t move, wanting to wait for it to drop back.
Where did it blow up:
The short position bets on a drop, the higher the price rises, the more the loss.
It didn’t close at 85400, and every jump afterward added to the loss.
The 4000 points didn’t happen all at once, it was pushed up step by step.
Once it passed 85400, this position was already out of control.
The stop loss price is just a number you wrote down in advance.
The one who presses the close button is the hand, not that number.

My stop loss was stuck tightly at 2778.5.
A distance of just 0.8U!

BTC and ETH spot ETFs are simultaneously experiencing outflows, cooling capital enthusiasm.
The market has already given a real signal: both BTC and ETH spot ETFs have shifted from inflows to net outflows.
This is also the key underlying logic behind the market rallying and then retreating after last night's strong non-farm payroll data.
Previously, the market was supported by macro expectations: a cold surprise in non-farm payrolls, easing rate hike expectations, and optimistic market sentiment.
However, institutional funds have already chosen to take profits and withdraw first. Once incremental funds dry up, lacking real money to support, the bullish sentiment cannot sustain prices, leading to a typical profit-taking decline.
Current market status:
1. Institutions are taking phased profits, overall capital enthusiasm is cooling, and long momentum is somewhat exhausted;
2. Macro conditions are currently just "no longer bearish," without easing rate cuts, lacking sustained upward momentum at high levels;
3. The market bids farewell to capital-driven moves and re-enters a technical consolidation and shakeout phase.
Key levels
Resistance:
85000‑85600 short-term pressure
87000‑87500 strong stage top
Support:
82000‑82500 bull lifeline
79500‑80000 deep pullback defense level
Outlook:
With ETFs starting to see outflows, the market tends toward consolidation and shakeout; avoid blindly chasing highs. Most rebounds are repairs, not a new round of reversal.
Watch two things going forward: whether ETF redemptions will continue, and wait for CPI data to ultimately set the direction.
Brothers, what do you think next? Let's discuss in the comments…🔷 Buyback $6B, yield 5.34%
• The US Treasury bought back government bonds worth $6 billion
• 10-year yield: 5.342% (highest since April 2002)
• Investors offered $46.4B, Treasury selected $6B
• Purchased bonds from 2041-2042
• Since August 19: minimum $4B per auction
• Program: September 9 - November 4
• Reasons for increase: deficit, inflation, AI borrowing
• Purchasing Managers' Index: 77.9, oil $91
🧠 Treasury buys back $6B, but yield rises to 5.34%. Pressures BTC. But Cathie Wood: 5%+ = market health
$BTC Hardware wallets can isolate private keys but cannot identify malicious transactions for you.
Hardware wallets isolate private keys and the signing process within a dedicated device, making it difficult for attackers to directly extract keys even if the computer is infected with malware. However, users can still confirm a malicious authorization, incorrect address, or high-risk contract call on the device. Once the signature is valid, the blockchain will execute according to the rules. If the device screen does not display the complete asset, amount, and authorized party, the user is effectively blind signing. Supply chain tampering, recovery processes, and mnemonic phrase management also affect security; purchasing hardware does not equate to zero risk. For holders of $ETH, hardware wallets are best suited to solve the problem of "keys not touching the online environment," while transaction semantics rely on clear signatures, address verification, and independent validation. Security is a multi-layered structure: the device protects the keys, the wallet interprets operations, and the user decides the intent. Any layer that shifts all responsibility to another may leave exploitable gaps.
The real advantage of the device is making it harder for attackers to complete a signature without the user's knowledge; if the user actively confirms everything, the isolated chip can only faithfully execute the wrong decision. Purchase channels, firmware sources, and screen verification together determine whether this layer of isolation is ultimately trustworthy.A significant piece of news:
Tether's USDT, worth 184 billion USD, will "officially return to Bitcoin" this month — the Tether-supported project Utexo has obtained permission to issue USDT on the Bitcoin network.
The practical use is: users can privately transfer USDT, directly swap USDT with BTC, and use Bitcoin as collateral for loans, all without needing to "wrap" Bitcoin.
The key phrase here is "no wrapping."
In the past, to use stablecoins or DeFi on Bitcoin, you usually had to cross-chain wrap BTC into tokens like wBTC — and this "wrapping" step is exactly the part hackers love to attack (many theft incidents have occurred on cross-chain bridges and wrapped assets).
Utexo claims to achieve "direct use without wrapping," which, if true, means bypassing the most vulnerable link in the Bitcoin ecosystem.
An even bigger highlight is **the fact that "USDT is returning to Bitcoin" itself**.
Tether originally (in 2014) issued on Bitcoin's Omni layer, then gradually migrated to Ethereum, Tron, and other chains.
Now, after a full circle, it’s back to BTC, indicating that the Bitcoin ecosystem is regrowing the infrastructure capable of supporting stablecoins and DeFi.$BTC has not broken through the new high of 87300
The non-farm payroll data ultimately turned out to be a false alarm.

Expectations are fulfilled, the rest is up to the trend.
Wishing everyone a happy National Day 🎉 $BTC Today's Crypto Market (October 3, 2026)
Saturday Crypto Circle: BTC holds steady, ETH is weak, AAVE quietly strong. Uptober doesn't rise every day; first shake out the chase buyers before talking.
Today's assessment:
"Uptober" starts without volume: BTC sideways, ETH one level weaker, funds hiding in AAVE/UNI/BNB, small caps start cutting yesterday's chasers.
Macro side: US 10Y ~5.24%, post-weak nonfarm rate cut expectations rebound, dollar rebounds, crypto market is not blindly bullish.
Dark lines:
BTC ETF net inflow at October start (Thursday +102 million), but ETH ETF net outflow for 3 consecutive days → institutions only recognize BTC
On-chain: dormant ETH abnormal movement on 9/30 (age consumed surged to highest since June), not immediate dumping, but old chips are moving
24h total liquidations ~150 million, longs and shorts half and half, not long squeeze, just weekend volume play
Next catalysts: 10/14 Core PCE, 10/9 BTC/ETH options expiry (~1.9 billion), 10/29 FOMC
Trading mantra:
BTC volume breakout above 85k → only then next leg; if can't break, reduce
Support at 83.9k–84k → hold
Break 83.9k / ETH 2.63k → turn weak, deleverage
$BTC $ETH #BTC dropped $2200 in 4 hours, returning to around 84,000, with over 60 million in liquidations.
The speed of this decline is faster than in the past few days, indicating leverage is being released in concentration.
84,000 is a short-term reference level, previously tested.
If it can hold here, it might just be a pullback.
If it continues downward, 80,000 to 82,000 is the next area with support.
The liquidation volume is not particularly large; 60 million is a moderate level in recent volatility.
But the direction is weak, and the decline after being rejected at 87K shows no signs of ending yet.🔻 SHORTS WORLD

🇺🇸 Weak U.S. jobs data is adding another macro variable to crypto volatility.
🎯 Watch support + volume +Let me see, a deep pullback has thrown so many people off the train, scared so many out of their wits.
$ETH smashed down from above 2800, now consolidating sideways around 2690. A slight 0.39% drop in 24 hours, doesn’t look like much? Behind it is a total liquidation of $339 million across the network in the past 24 hours, with $260 million in short positions liquidated, $78.93 million in long positions also liquidated, and Ethereum alone liquidated $91.89 million. This sharp plunge slapped both the bulls chasing highs and the shorts.
But what are institutions doing? Ethereum spot ETFs saw a net inflow of $3.11 billion in Q3, marking the third highest quarterly record ever, with 10 consecutive days of net inflows. BlackRock’s ETHA alone swallowed $83.79 million. In the past week, Ethereum whales increased their holdings by about 60,000 ETH against the trend, worth $162 million. While you were shaken off the train, smart money was down below with open mouths catching chips.
Key levels are crystal clear. Breaking below 2565 means $1.238 billion in long positions waiting to be liquidated below; breaking above 2832 means $1.132 billion in short positions will explode above. At this position, both long and short triggers are set, just waiting for one candlestick to decide who dies first.
Citibank just raised the ETH target price from $2240 to $3028, citing macro improvements and ETF demand recovery. Arthur Hayes is even more aggressive, saying ETH could see $10,000 to $20,000 in this cycle.
The structure isn’t broken, the trend isn’t interrupted. Are you the one washed out, or the one staying on the train waiting for the next stop? If you can’t hold on, get off early. Stablecoin giant Circle is publicly "resisting" Europe's crypto regulatory rules.
Their argument is strong: among the world's 25 largest stablecoins by market cap, only 3 are regulated under MiCA — meaning Europe's rules have a pitifully low "reach," and the biggest stablecoins are actually outside the EU's regulatory scope.
Circle wants to push the EU to amend some of the existing rigid requirements.
The most interesting part of this is that "compliant parties are criticizing the compliance rules."
Intuitively, Circle is the "well-behaved student" who should welcome regulation; but the reality is — when regulatory rules only constrain a few, while most competitors are unregulated, being compliant becomes a competitive disadvantage.
It's like a class where only 3 students submit homework to the strictest standards, while the other 22 casually write theirs and still get high scores; naturally, those 3 will protest.
Behind this is a recurring core contradiction in stablecoin regulation:
"Who is regulated" matters more to the competitive landscape than "how strict the regulation is."
If regulation only covers issuers with an entity in the EU, offshore-issued stablecoins can enjoy freedom while capturing market share.
Circle's demand essentially calls for "rules to be applied equally to everyone" — otherwise, a strange outcome will emerge in the European market: the most compliant products will ironically be the hardest to operate.This short position on SpaceX has finally been fully closed 😮💨 Shorted at 156, fully closed at 145.85, held for about 10 days, with a single contract yield of +491.71%. The floating profit was tossed around a few times earlier, but ending near 146 as planned this time feels really good.
Interestingly, right before and after closing the position, SpaceX actually accomplished something significant: on September 28, Starship's 14th test flight truly entered orbit for the first time and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites. From a technical progress standpoint, this is definitely positive news.
However, my short position was not based on "the rocket can't fly," but rather on whether the price had already priced in too much of the good news ahead of time. Although this mission successfully reached orbit, there was still an engine failure during the process, and the mission ended earlier than planned; the reasons will need further investigation. Reuters reported that SpaceX's stock price actually dropped about 2% that day.
This actually confirms a point I've always cared about: company progress does not mean the stock price will rise every time. The market is really trading on "whether the results exceed original expectations." If everyone has already priced in the first successful orbit and smooth V3 deployment, then when the achievement is realized, as long as there is no bigger surprise or even a slight flaw, the stock price may not react or may even fall. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万，失业率升至4.2% ACE mid-term long position | 3-5x leverage

The calendar shows about 9.92 million tokens, roughly over 800 million USD, the largest single transaction in the entire market in October
But don't just look at the calendar
In the past few months, Labs has actually unstaked about 140,000 to 530,000 tokens per month. This is not even close to 9.92 million
This time it's a bit different
On September 30, Labs unlocked 3.75 million tokens at once, 7 times the monthly average. The co-founder said it was done OTC with institutions, not through the public market. Buyer, price, and lock-up period were not disclosed
——
First look at claims and transfers, not nominal values
"Claimable" far exceeds "actually claimed" has happened before.
OTC delayed the supply, it didn't disappear. The 6th to 7th is still a volatility window, but unlocking is not automatically bearish.
$HYPE The hotter altcoin prices get, the more vigilant you are to be aware of concentrated drawdowns after leveraged accumulation.
On October 1, trader Doctor Profit posted that considering the altcoin market's excessive leverage, spot trading volume reaching four times that of BTC, and clearly rising market sentiment, he chose to take profits on some altcoins. Among them, ONDO sold with a 73% profit, and HBAR and XRP also exited after small profits.
What is even more noteworthy is his short position in BTC. Previously, he had established short positions near $86,200 and set additional short positions in the $86,500 to $89,500 range, expecting BTC to pull back to $79,000. However, he has not fully turned bearish; positions in BTC as well as ETH, CRCL, and COIN remain intact.
I believe the real focus on this move is not his prediction of where BTC will fall, but rather that some traders have already begun actively reducing altcoin risk exposure in a highly leveraged environment.
When funds flow into highly volatile assets, price increases may be accompanied by rapid leverage accumulation. Once BTC weakens, altcoins are often more vulnerable to the dual shocks of declining risk appetite and leveraged liquidations. However, spot trading volume reaching four times that of BTC alone does not alone prove the market has peaked, and trader reductions do not necessarily mean a market reversal.
In the short term, three key signals need to be closely watched: First, whether BTC can hold key support; Second, whether altcoin spot trading volume continues to cool; Third, whether open interest and funding rates fall in tandem.
If BTC weakens and goes shortFloating profits just arrived and are about to fly away again, my mindset is directly tense!
Damn it!
I've been messing around with a small real account until now, currently holding a long position in $ETH, with floating profits of 8.58%.
I caught the chips at the low point in the early morning, and the highest floating profit pulled even higher early on. I was secretly happy thinking I nailed the dip buy during this pullback, planning to hold for a rebound.
Who knew the big coin $BTC rebound was weak, it couldn't push past 84688, just grinding in place. The volume to push up was totally insufficient, and the market's long-short ratio shows bears already occupy 70%.
It just keeps tugging back and forth slightly, slowly swallowing back the profits I made.
This kind of market is the most frustrating now: not enough funds to break upward, and no new lows smashed downward yet. Holding the pattern means profits can be given back anytime; pocketing gains and running risks missing a direct surge.
Many people like me have fallen in this kind of choppy market. The big picture is clear, but we die in the back-and-forth shakeouts.
The big coin is stuck jumping sideways around 84500, and the second coin ETH completely follows the big coin's rhythm, unable to form an independent trend, showing no temper at all.
#BTCHighLevelPullbackChop #ETHFollowsMarketFluctuation $BTC $ETH2026.10.3 Market continues intense dual-sided volatility with BTC/ETH/XAU analysis.

Especially, the number of people tripled, increasing by 65%, showing many impulsive traders in the market.

Although it has fallen back below 85150 now, the 1h/2h/4h charts still maintain a slightly bullish trend; ETH support/resistance levels: 2750/2525/2400, following BTC’s trend; XAU surged to around 4220 last night, with an immediate recommendation to reduce positions again. You can hold a small remaining position; wait for Monday’s opportunity to see if it breaks below 4100 to test 4065 or even spike to 4015; if it doesn’t break, then above 4100 is basically stable, give the main force some time to decide; no trading over the weekend; Operation suggestions do not constitute any investment advice: BNB last night’s orders executed strategy, either loss or profit. For other orders in hand that hit breakeven, do not enter new positions, wait quietly for new low-level opportunities.

No rush to place spot orders, set good replenishment levels.Just in September, Coinbase launched an IPO new share subscription entrance, reached a stablecoin partnership with Citi, provided access capabilities to over 1,000 community banks, and even started AI agent stock trading.
This list only makes sense when read together—it does not describe four isolated functions, but four touchpoints of the same strategy.
IPO new share subscription = bringing securities business in;
Citi stablecoin = connecting traditional bank settlements;
1,000 community banks = providing an "encrypted backend" for the offline banking system;
AI agent stock trading = making machines the main trading entity.
These four things point to the same goal: transforming Coinbase from a "cryptocurrency exchange" into a "new generation comprehensive financial infrastructure."
North Dakota banks issuing stablecoins choose Solana, tokenized stocks aim to conquer long-term holders, and traditional institutions become the main force of on-chain adoption—all talk about the same thing:
The boundary between crypto and traditional finance is being actively dismantled, and the parties tearing down the walls are large institutions, not retail investors.
But we must stay clear-headed: behind this are compliance costs, licensing battles, and lengthy regulatory communications—pushing securities, banking, stablecoins, and AI simultaneously relies not on technological superiority, but on the trust accumulated within the regulatory system. This is the hardest part of Coinbase to replicate.#US troops stationed in Iraq#
#US Treasury yields frequently hit new highs, long-term interest rate pressure remains unresolved The more realistic tails are threefold:
First, pro-Iran militias are not disarming; the "non-state weapons" roadmap is delayed until June 30, 2027, and groups like the Hezbollah Brigades do not recognize the government's timetable at all;
Second, the Kurdish region is panicking; originally, the US military was an air defense shield, but now the skies over Erbil are open;
Third, the US has not truly left—training, intelligence, petrodollars in the New York Fed, the new consulate in Erbil, all remain. US officials themselves say "re-deployment is not ruled out."
So this withdrawal is not an imperial exit but a shift from "soldier garrison" to "leveraged garrison":
Iraq gains nominal sovereignty with the flag, the US retains the reins in energy and finance, Iran happily accepts strategic space, and ISIS remnants await the next chaos to sprout.
The oldest script in the Middle East has never been "end of war," but rather—
Foreigners leave, leaving a mess for you to handle; when chaos erupts, they come back to negotiate terms.
