This week, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of the September meeting. Any revision of rate cut expectations will directly suppress risk appetite in the crypto market, with SNDK, as a highly volatile asset, being the first to be affected. If the minutes lean hawkish, there is a high probability of further short-term declines; I tend to expect a rebound rather than a reversal.
Current price is 1666.5, down 2.2% in 24 hours, with a low of 1644 approaching the previous low. Both the 1-hour and 4-hour charts are in a downtrend channel, with a 12.16% drop from the 4-hour high, indicating bears still dominate. The order book buy/sell ratio is 0.80, with selling pressure prevailing, but the positive funding rate of 0.0225% shows longs are still paying to hold positions. If the price fails to reclaim 1690, the risk of a short squeeze will increase.
In terms of operations, a light short position can be tried on a rebound to 1687, with a stop loss at 1712 and a target of 1631; if there is a sharp drop and stabilization near 1633, one can reverse to go long, with a stop loss at 1618 and a target of 1666. Single position size should not exceed 5%, and heavy positions should be avoided half an hour before and after the minutes release.
— This is only a personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Wishing you successful trading. —Are you aware of the FOMC minutes scheduled for 2 AM tomorrow?
Seeing a crowd still discussing the FOMC minutes in the square, it's actually not that complicated.
FOMC is a closed-door meeting of 12 core Federal Reserve executives who decide whether to loosen or tighten the global dollar supply, held 8 times a year.
Many wonder: Didn't they already decide to cut rates last month? What is there to watch tonight?
To put it simply: the last announcement was just the "verdict" on the rate cut. Tonight's minutes release is like revealing the full chat records of their heated debates behind closed doors. Wall Street wants to see how much disagreement there is about future easing.
When the breaking news comes out, directly compare two signals to judge good or bad:
Danger signals (bearish):
If the news frequently mentions "inflation remains sticky," "cautious about rapid rate cuts," or "some officials advocate slowing the pace."
This indicates the Fed wants to hit the brakes, the dollar is likely to rebound, and Bitcoin will probably dip sharply in the short term to shake out longs.
Safe signals (bullish):
If the news consistently talks about "increased downside risk to employment" and "the need to quickly bring rates down to neutral."
This shows a strong consensus to protect jobs, the easing pace is steady, and even if the market fluctuates, it will quickly recover.
Before the 2 AM release tonight, do you think the main players will first pump the price up to lure buyers or directly dump it? Leave your judgment in the comments.
#9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ $BTC $ETH The Nasdaq hits another all-time high, so why is the crypto market falling instead?
If we review from a large-scale macro trend and then gradually narrow down to smaller-scale market movements, we can clearly see:
$BTC
has been consolidating at a high level for a long time, and the heavy load at the front has triggered a sharp drop in the short term to actively clear floating liquidity.
$ETH
is similar; although it once fell below the 2633 level intraday, 2534 remains the most critical defense line that bulls cannot afford to lose.
Core conclusion: The overall bullish structure is not deteriorating currently; this kind of market shakeout is essentially forcing panic sellers to surrender their bloodied chips.
Altcoin dynamics: During the shakeout, core tokens like Solana, Pengu, Pepe, and Pump have effectively broken through their respective large-scale downtrend lines, showing strong resilience.
This week, global capital will be closely focused on every move in the bond market.
If bond yields rise again and gold comes under pressure and falls, can the US stock market hold up? Where will safe-haven funds flow massively?
This will be the key aspect for us to observe macro liquidity going forward.100x short $ETH, woke up from a nap to +389.03%! Entry at 2720.86, current price 2615.01, perfectly timed the high-level crash. Recently lacking new catalysts, the 2720 dense trading zone shows real selling pressure, bulls are weak so shorting with the trend. Hundredfold leverage means even a slight dip yields huge profits. Currently 389% floating profit at the bottom, defending 2680, stop loss if it recovers above; if it breaks 2615 below, next stop is 2550. Hold but don't stubbornly resist, keep a base position to secure profits, don't get attached with hundredfold leverage. $BTC #BTC巨鲸抛压减弱，ETF资金连续三周净流入 🐜 The Ant position keeps rolling!
Last night I tried two short trades in a row, but the altcoins started "acting up" in the middle of the night 😂
The $NMR short once had an unrealized profit close to 260%. I thought it was a sure win, but suddenly there was a pump at dawn, wiping out the profits and ending with a drawdown of about 40U. You really can't underestimate the temperament of these small coins!
The $RESOLV short also couldn't withstand the overnight rally and triggered a stop loss exit.
Now I'm focusing back on $ZEC, opening a short near 1365, currently with about 9% unrealized profit. The short-term target is around 1320. If the bears continue to increase volume and the price breaks key support, this target is still achievable; but if it quickly recovers above 1365, be cautious of another rebound stop loss.
On the macro side, it's worth noting: this week the market will continue to digest the Fed's September meeting minutes, while long-term US Treasury yields remain high, possibly increasing volatility in risk assets. On the other hand, BTC whale selling pressure has eased, and ETF funds have seen consecutive net inflows, providing some support to the market.
So the current strategy is simple: quick in and out on altcoin shorts, closely watch $ZEC around 1320 for support, and if BTC holds steady, bears should not blindly chase.
⚠️ Market volatility is high; the above is only my personal trading record and does not constitute investment advice.
#ZEC #NMR #RESOLV #BTC #Fed #Cryptocurrency #AntPosition【Series Introduction】Robinhood Chain Investment Research Trilogy: From Meme Hype to Cash Flow Revaluation (2)
LONG/$AI is the liquidity hub, $PONS is the issuance tax, don’t treat them as the same meme to buy
In the first wave of Robinhood Chain market, everyone lumped LONG, PONS, $AI, and $CASHCAT together calling them "on-chain stock memes."
After the drop, it became clear: these two are fundamentally different asset types.
PONS collects a "birth tax"—1% fee on issuance, 30% goes to the protocol, 80% is used for buyback and burn. The logic is issuance volume × transaction frequency = cash flow. This was explained in the previous article, no repetition here.
LONG/$AI operates on another layer: the liquidity routing rights after stocks become the quote leg.
What does that mean?
On Robinhood Chain, stock tokens (NVDA, AAPL, TSLA) are no longer "static certificates" but assets that can be used as LP base pools. What LONG does is pair newly issued tokens with stock tokens—for example, $AI paired with NVDA, making the stock the quote asset.
This is not meme logic; this is Uniswap’s ETH/USDC logic.
Not investment advice. In thin liquidity markets, think carefully about who will take your sell orders before making one-sided bets. $ZEC buddies are ramping up the intensity again!
$158 million in perpetual contracts, 15.04x leverage, available margin wiped out instantly. This is no ordinary trade; this is moving hundreds of millions onto the table.
Currently, the four major positions:
$BTC: $38.963 million
456 BTC, 40x full position, entry at $84,958.3, unrealized profit $222,400, liquidation price $69,927.35.
$ETH: $97.261 million
36,100 $ETH, 25x full position, entry at $2,691.62, unrealized profit $93,100, liquidation price $2,496.67. Funding fees have already consumed $1.3115 million.
$HYPE: $14.279 million
155,300 $HYPE, 10x full position, unrealized profit $296,100, liquidation price $44.60.
$PUMP: $7.618 million
1.225 billion $PUMP, 10x full position, unrealized profit $229,200, liquidation price $0.0002142325.
The most outrageous is $ETH, nearly $100 million in a single position, accounting for over 60% of the perpetual positions.
All four positions are currently profitable, but the margin has already been wiped out.
When making money, it's a masterstroke; when reversing, it's a major accident scene.
Next, I'll focus on one thing: will this $158 million continue to roll into profit, or will it be knocked back to square one by a big bearish candle?$BTC dropped to 84160, down 1.7,
$ETH dropped to 2610, down 3.1,
the trend is a bit weaker.
Last night I strongly felt exhaustion,
I didn't dare to hold positions overnight,
this morning I acted blindly,
forgot the thoughts from last night.😡
ZEC is strong,
down relatively less,
let's see if it's truly strong or just pretending.
Patiently wait for the second drop before going long,
relatively safer.
Be patient and wait!$BTC Market Strategy｜Recovery Window After Sharp Drop, How to Operate in the Next Few Days
(Technical review is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. Contract leverage carries extremely high risk; risk control should always be the top priority.)
This morning saw a rapid breakdown and sharp drop, catching many off guard.
After a sharp drop, do not panic blindly or rush to bottom-fish crazily. Combining 15-minute, 4-hour, and daily cycles, here is a comprehensive explanation of the outlook for the next few days.
Current Market Analysis
15-minute short term: Oversold with a slight rebound repair
After quickly dipping to the 83500 low, the short-term indicator SKDJ has turned upward from a severe oversold zone, indicating a technical rebound demand. However, this rebound is merely a pullback repair after the drop; the Bollinger Bands are opening downward, and the bearish macro pattern has not yet reversed. The rebound will likely face pressure and should not be treated as a reversal.
4-hour cycle: Bearish trend has formed with heavy resistance
The 4-hour large bearish candle broke below multiple moving averages, SAR turned bearish, and MACD bearish green bars continue to release. The 85000-85400 area above is a dense moving average resistance zone, a tough mountain for bulls to overcome. Only by firmly reclaiming this range will the downward momentum slow.
Daily level: The major trend is not completely broken, entering a correction phase
The daily chart still runs within the Bollinger Bands, and mid-to-long-term moving averages remain upward. This correction is a deep shakeout during an uptrend, not a complete end to the bull market. The first key support below is 81000-82000, the ultimate defense line for this round of market strength.
Key Price Levels to Watch Closely in the Next Few Days
🔹Short-term resistance: 84500-84800 (first hurdle)
🔹Mid-term strong resistance: 85300-85500 (bull-bear dividing line; only by reclaiming here can bulls have a chance)
🔹Short-term support: 83500 (today's low)
🔹Strong support zone: 81000-82000
Practical Trading Strategies for the Next Few Days
Plan 1: Short-term approach, prioritize shorting on rebounds (current main rhythm)
Price rebounds into the 84500-84800 zone; if upward momentum weakens and 15-minute shows stagnation signals, light short positions can be taken.
Stop loss: above 85050
First target: 83500; if broken, follow the trend down to around 82200
⚠️Note: Shorting on rebounds is only suitable for quick in-and-out trades, not for holding long-term positions. Always be alert for violent reversals from oversold conditions.
Plan 2: Long positions, only wait for two safe entry opportunities, avoid bottom-fishing halfway
Opportunity 1: Retrace to 83500 low, multiple tests without breaking, small cycle indicators show continuous bottom divergence, clear stabilization candlestick pattern appears; try a small long position with stop loss below 83200, rebound target 84600-85200.
Opportunity 2: Price breaks strongly above 85500 resistance with volume, retraces to confirm support, then follow with long positions; stop loss below 85000, target previous high near 86500.

Key turning points will be shared with everyone promptly! $BTC is at 87,666 USD here, and the large whale sell pressure has not yet been withdrawn✨
This sell order initially amounted to 31.05 million USD, has been on the order book for three full days, and still retains about 17.78 million USD now, with more than half of the sell orders still holding at this price level.
Previously, BTC tried several times near 87,000 but was blocked by this order book pressure. To break upward, bullish funds must genuinely absorb this selling pressure.
Going forward, the key observation is whether the spot buy orders can continue to consume the sell orders when the price approaches 87,666 again. If transactions continue and the sell pressure does not withdraw, this breakout will be very substantial; however, be aware that large holders can withdraw their orders at any time, so the orders on the book should not be simply regarded as real selling pressure.
After three days, more than half of this sell wall remains. Once this price level is broken with volume, the upward space for BTC will fully open.
#本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 $ETH ④ For players with less than 2 million, don't consider Bitcoin; during the early bull phase, you should appropriately allocate some assets, such as configuring Ethereum + Solana for levels above 8, and for levels below 2, you can select about 3 quality altcoins. Ethereum + Solana should yield more than 3x returns, altcoins more than 3x before clearing out and jumping ship. By mid-2028, firmly avoid altcoins, clear out and return to Ethereum + Solana. Hold until the end of 2028 to early 2029, roughly the end of the big cycle, then clear out and rest.
⑤ For those with small funds, to be safe, still follow the strategy in ④. Don't listen to those contract traders brainwashing you with nonsense like "small funds can't make money in spot trading, you can only profit with contracts." Most likely, even the smallest positions will be lost in the contract graveyard.
⑥ Summary: Do not frequently chase highs or sell lows midway, avoid contracts (contracts are a graveyard), and don't recklessly chase some high-priced altcoins. This way, throughout this big cycle, you don't aim for great wealth, but at least your profits can outpace inflation and beat most investment returns.That ZEC short squeeze woke me up again. Have you ever had that moment when the direction was right, but the rhythm was being pressed down? At the close on October 6, I stared at my account for a few seconds. ZEC jumped nearly 5% that day, and BTC and ETH also slightly lifted their heads at the close. My heaviest ETH short position had already been held for 46 days plus 2 days, and today I was down 26U on paper. Fortunately, PUMP had been short since July and didn't rise again, closing down to down 1%, which helped me hold up a bit. In the first six days of October, I was profitable and losing money, three days of gains, three days of loss, so neat it looked like someone was working behind the scenes. But what really concerned me wasn't the 26u stock, but the scent coming from the derivatives side. ZEC's nearly 5% rebound is counterintuitive given the net outflow in the first week of spot ETFs and the ongoing NU7 upgrade. Spot trading is pulling but prices are bouncing, indicating that short-term pricing power is mostly in contract traders. In this structure, bears fear less negative news but "reverse squeeze after all negative news has been exhausted." As long as holdings remain crowded and funding rates haven't fully turned negative, any small pullback could become an accelerator. My main focus is on capital preference, and the signals I see are as follows: - Bullish logic: ZEC can still close higher despite net ETF outflows, indicating that funds on the contract side are willing to follow the narrative; the NU7 upgrade has given the theme a window to survive; BTC and ETH both rose slightly at the close, risk appetite hasn't collapsed further, and counterfeit stocks with independent catalysts are more easily picked by short-term funds. - RiskIs it really that hard to make stable profits in the crypto space? Lower your psychological expectations, approach crypto investments rationally, and follow these points—stable profits are not difficult!
① Accept the blockchain industry. For big investors with over 10 million RMB entering the market, don’t overthink anything. Predict the cycle well, then go all-in on Bitcoin with a 4-3-3 position split. If you don’t want to trade the waves, after going full position, just hold until 2028-2029, or cash out your initial 10 million principal after Bitcoin doubles mid-cycle, and take profits at the end of the big cycle. The overall annualized return can easily reach 30-50% with no problem!
② Similarly, if you accept blockchain and have 5-10 million RMB, then set up 5 layers of positions: Bitcoin, plus Ethereum and Solana, also split 4-3-3. Go all-in three times, hold Bitcoin until 2028-2029, cash out principal when Bitcoin doubles mid-cycle, and Ethereum plus Solana can cash out triple the principal. Hold the rest until the big cycle ends.
③ For players with 2-5 million RMB, my personal advice is not to buy Bitcoin or altcoins. Just go all-in on Ethereum and Solana with a 4-3-3 position split, hold Bitcoin simultaneously, cash out triple the principal, and hold the rest until the big cycle ends in 2028-2029. $OKB gave OKB another lesson: shorting against the trend at a high level got forcibly liquidated, resulting in a 12.35% drawdown on the account today.
Clearly, it looked like it was pumped very high, and subjectively thinking it was overbought and bound to fall, I opened a short position stubbornly. But the strong rally gave no chance for a pullback, kept pushing up, eventually triggering forced liquidation, and I also had to pay an extra forced liquidation fee, further amplifying the loss.
Review summary:
Don’t guess the top based on feelings. Once a trend explodes, it can continue to be overbought even after being overbought; trading against the trend is the hardest.
OKB’s daily chart shows all moving averages bullish, with a big bullish candle breakout, indicating a strong main uptrend phase.
During the main uptrend wave, only look for pullback buying opportunities; don’t easily try to short at the top.
Having fallen into this trap, from now on, if I’m not sure about a top signal, I will firmly avoid shorting against the trend.
Is there anyone else like me who got liquidated guessing the top at a high level? $SNDK Many people wonder why trading Sandisk is only done during the US stock market opening hours.
The core reason is that liquidity is thin before and after market hours, order book depth is insufficient, bid-ask spreads are huge, which easily causes severe slippage and price distortion.
Overnight news, earnings reports, and industry updates are released concentratedly at the open. The opening call auction digests all overnight orders at once, forming a fair benchmark price. The initial opening period has the strongest volatility and the clearest trend signals, making it the window for trend traders to capture market moves.
The 24-hour off-exchange derivatives market only simulates quotes and does not represent real matching, which can easily produce false market signals that mislead judgment. Choosing to trade at the open allows access to real exchange transactions and sufficient liquidity, reducing ineffective false fluctuations. However, note that the initial opening segment is highly volatile, risks are also amplified, so risk control must be well managed, and blind chasing of rises or falls should be avoided. #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ #BTC巨鲸抛压减弱，ETF资金连续三周净流入 #OKXNOW：开启全天候市场新时代 Kyber secures Tolly integration, $KNC down 2.2% in 24h: dip to buy

$KNC $BTCI got into this mostly by following the crowd at first.
People around me talked about it every day, and hearing it so much made me curious.
I put in a little spare money, enough that losing it wouldn’t affect my life.
My first buy was $BTC, and after buying it, I kept wanting to check the market.
A little rise made me happy, a little drop made me curse myself for acting too fast.
Back then I didn’t understand position sizing, and I impulsively added more.
Added so much that I couldn’t sleep at night and was distracted at work during the day.
Later I tried $ETH, but after holding it a few days, I couldn’t resist selling.
After selling, it went up again, and I was so mad I kept slapping my leg.
Then I tried $SOL, and its volatility really made me dizzy.
It went up and down in minutes; if you have a weak heart, don’t touch it.
After all that fuss, I didn’t make much money but learned a lot of lessons.
The worst enemy wasn’t the market, it was myself not controlling my impulses.
Greedy when it rose, scared when it fell, getting slapped in the face repeatedly.
When the position got heavy, I couldn’t sleep well at night.
Poor sleep made me more prone to stupid decisions the next day.
I followed others’ trade calls too, but after a few times found they had already exited.
The busier the chat group, the more cautious I became.
If I don’t understand a project, I just skip it.
Don’t even think about borrowing money to play this.
Don’t touch your living expenses either—that’s the bottom line.
Don’t get cocky when you profit, and don’t rush to recover losses.
The market doesn’t care if you’re anxious or not.
Only positions you can sleep soundly with are worth holding.
Enter in batches, exit in batches, keep some cash on hand.
Sometimes being out of the market feels better than buying recklessly.
Look at the charts less, focus on real work, keep life normal.
This space has many opportunities, but even more traps.
Go slow, live longer.
Don’t think about turning it all around in one shot; first think about not losing big money.
It’s all real money exchanged, ordinary but effective. #BTC巨鲸抛压减弱，ETF资金连续三周净流入

#美债长端收益率再创新高，30年期逼近5.7% 📊 My trading view
WTI
* Above $90: bullish momentum remains intact.
* $91–92: first upside area to watch.
* $93–95: stronger resistance/extension zone if geopolitical risk increases.
* Below $89: bullish structure weakens and a move toward $87–88 becomes possible.
Brent
* Above $100: bullish.
* $102–104: immediate upside area.
* $105+: possible if supply disruptions escalate.
* Below $99: risk of a deeper correction toward $97–98. $BTC just plunged 2000 USD in a short time. In the coming month, the crypto market may experience a significant correction: first, there's #token2049, and the whales are all busy attending the event; everyone is used to the market dropping during such events; second, the market has already priced in no rate hike by the end of the month—no hike is not considered bullish, while a hike would be bearish; most importantly, the midterm elections—if the Republicans lose both the House and Senate, this wave of new crypto policies will come to an end. $WIF perpetual contract 50x short position, opened at 0.2491, now at 0.2327, floating profit +329.18%.
The Meme sector purely relies on emotional pump, volume at the 0.2491 peak directly dropped off, the bullish narrative no longer works. Reversed to open a 50x short to ride this wave of emotional retreat.
Half position take profit and secure gains, the remaining position stop loss raised to 0.24. If volume breaks below 0.22, expect a drop to 0.2; low volume sideways movement means full exit. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ The third culprit: $ETH ETF saw $138 million withdrawn in one week, while $BTC ETF attracted $241 million
Looking at the capital flow, this is the most direct change in the "buyer list."
In the week ending October 5, the US spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of $241 million, marking the third consecutive week of net inflows. Meanwhile, the Ethereum ETF recorded a net outflow of $138 million, reversing from a $690 million inflow the previous week.
Do you understand this rotation?
The money hasn't left the crypto market. It's flowing from ETH to BTC.
BTC dominance is approaching 60%, and Ethereum's relative appeal in institutional allocations is declining. With rising macro uncertainty and US Treasury yields still around 5.26%, institutions prefer to allocate to the "safer" BTC rather than the "high Beta" ETH. $ETH $BTC $ZEC #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ #BTC巨鲸抛压减弱，ETF资金连续三周净流入 #OKXNOW：开启全天候市场新时代 $DOGE Dogecoin looks strong today, but actually it’s a slow decline after a pump. This kind of market is hard to break out.
It has now pulled up to 0.096, creating significant selling pressure. The market is already diverging and cannot break through effectively. It is very likely to continue oscillating.
This position is very suitable for intraday short T trading, with a high short at 0.096 and buying support around 0.094-0.093 below.
I think shorting now is very appropriate. There won’t be a big move in the short-term meme market. While oscillating, the recent high point might be near 0.94 where you can reduce positions. The Federal Reserve meeting minutes are about to be released, yet market sentiment shows a subtle "resistance to decline." Despite nearly overwhelming macro-level bearish factors, BTC consistently refuses to plunge deeply, supported jointly by weakening whale sell pressure and three consecutive weeks of net inflows into ETFs. Now, the battle between bulls and bears is not about who is stronger, but who can hold their nerve longer.
BTC: Range-bound battle, key levels determine direction
Short-term support is at 84,000, with a stronger defense line at 82,000-83,000. As long as this area is not effectively broken, the structure remains biased toward consolidation and bullishness; once breached, the market will likely test the psychological level of 80,000. Resistance above is first seen at 87,300; only by firmly holding above this line can BTC qualify to challenge 90,000. FOMC minutes are known for causing spikes, so chasing highs is risky—reacting at key levels is safer.
ETH: Capital outflow, weaker elasticity
ETH has seen continuous capital outflows recently, with a clearly soft trend. Support focuses on previous lows, while resistance is heavy during rebounds. It will likely follow BTC’s direction but with weaker volatility elasticity, making it less suitable as a primary offensive choice.
ZEC: Highly elastic altcoin, volatility amplifier
ZEC’s short-term support is near 1,400; holding this level is necessary for rebound opportunities; resistance lies between 1,500-1,600. If BTC experiences a pullback, the volatility of such highly elastic altcoins will be significantly amplified, making position management even more important.$DOGE
DOGE continues to lag behind BTC, is the sentiment premium shrinking?
This morning's 24-hour spot observation window: range 0.09319—0.09637 USDT, change -1.75%, trading volume approximately 32.25 million USDT.
The window has retraced more than BTC, and the price is also stuck at the lower end. The high elasticity of sentiment assets can manifest downward; attention cannot replace sustained demand. Currently, only relative weakness is visible, and the specific motives of participants cannot be confirmed.
If BTC stops falling but DOGE continues to hit new lows, the relative weakness will be reinforced; if DOGE recovers its higher lows first, then the possibility of re-evaluating a relay may arise again.Ranking the US stock giants by market value: $NVDA > $AAPL > $MSFT > $GOOGL > $AMZN > SpaceX > $META > $TSLA. SpaceX's market value is 2.3 trillion, nearly twice that of $TSLA (1.2 trillion), but its revenue scale is only about one-sixth of Tesla's; the top-ranked $NVDA has a market value of 5 trillion, SpaceX would need to double again to approach it.I've been staring at today's data drop for a while now, and I keep landing on the same thought: this is one of those days where every individual number makes sense, and together they make almost no sense at all. What's Actually In Front of Me September's ISM Services PMI came in at 54.9 — basically in line with forecasts, just a touch below August. On its own, that's a shrug. Services activity cooling slightly, nothing dramatic. Then I look at the prices sub-index, and it jumped to 74.0 — its hi$BTC $ZEC firmly short! The market hasn't moved much all day, and long positions have already withdrawn over 18 million in advance!
Yesterday, smart money had 282 million in long positions, but today it's down to 264 million. The number of long holders also dropped from 899 to 856, and the average long cost decreased from 1014 to 994, which means those who left were precisely the ones with the highest cost.
The price hasn't fallen, yet longs are actively reducing their positions. This shows these people aren't being forced out by the market but feel the current level isn't worth holding anymore. If they truly believed the market would rise, who would pull out over 18 million of real money during a sideways market?
Long holders are quietly exiting themselves, so stop foolishly rushing in to be the bag holder. Shorts, get ready and go down!The market never rewards those who understand everything; it only occasionally rewards those who wait when they should, dare to bet when they must, admit mistakes when they err, and hold on when they are right. Most of the time, trading is calm—no surges, no crashes, no stories worth bragging about. What truly changes fate is not having opportunities every day, but being present with chips in hand and courage in heart when those few genuine trends that belong to you arrive after a long period of calm. I am increasingly willing to admit: some market moves are simply unrelated to me, some profits are not mine to claim, and some missed chances do not need to be chased. Being able to wait for a few big trends that truly belong to you in a lifetime and hold on to them is already very good. I do not predict where the next wind will come from; I just keep waiting—waiting until the wind comes, and I happen to still be holding the basin.#ZEC spot ETF sees first weekly net outflow, NU7 upgrade advancing, liquidity in the privacy sector often first impacts high-beta governance tokens like UNI, I tend to continue short-term defense.

$UNI #BTC whale selling pressure weakens, ETF funds net inflow for three consecutive weeks
#ZEC spot ETF sees first weekly net outflow, NU7 upgrade advancing $UNI Tomorrow night’s FOMC minutes are the death sentence for the crypto market. If hawkish, BTC will most likely break below 84000, and ETH will head toward 2500; if dovish, there might be a rebound, but don’t expect a reversal.
The service sector PMI price index has surged to 74, inflation is uncontrollable, yet nonfarm payrolls only increased by 29,000, and the unemployment rate is 4.2%. Stagflation is now on the table. Daly clearly supports a rate hike in September; whether there will be more hikes depends entirely on whether tariffs, oil prices, and AI demand—the three big obstacles—ease. This means that if the minutes reveal that “inflation shocks may be long-lasting,” the Fed can continue to stay dovish at any time.
The impact on cryptocurrencies is very direct. The weakening of whale sell pressure and continuous net inflows into ETFs have indeed supported the bottom, but that’s defense, not offense. Once the minutes lean hawkish, the dollar will strengthen, BTC will first break through 84000 downward, with a downside target of 82000. ETH will be worse off; with several days of ETF outflows and staking yields lagging behind U.S. Treasuries, without institutional support, if BTC weakens, ETH will fall even faster, and 2600 won’t hold at all.
The probability of a dovish outcome is low, but if it does happen, BTC will rebound to 86000, and ETH will rise to around 2750, though sustainability is questionable because the stagflation environment remains unchanged.
Trading background and risk warnings are clear. Liquidity will be extremely poor before and after the minutes release; flash crashes can wipe out all leverage. Preserving principal and surviving this macroeconomic meat grinder is more important than anything. #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ The upward structure of OKB is still intact, but short-term pullback risk needs to be guarded against. The latest price is 134.29
Both highs and lows are rising synchronously, and the latest price remains above all EMAs, which supports a continued bullish bias and makes it difficult to directly conclude a top.
The previous complete 4-hour trading cycle had a volume ratio of 2.66 and an OBV trending upward, with volume supporting this rally. Volume has entered a climax zone, but the MACD histogram is declining; while trading activity is high, upward momentum is weakening, so expectations for continued acceleration should be tempered.
If the latest price continues to break below 126.55, the current local upward assessment should be downgraded; intraday touches do not count as confirmed breakouts.Maji is pushing the intensity again: $158 million in perpetual contracts, 15.04x leverage, available margin directly wiped out.
Current four major positions:
- BTC: $38.963 million, 456 coins, 40x full position, entry price $84,958.3, unrealized profit $222,400, liquidation price $69,927.35.
- ETH: $97.261 million, 36,100 coins, 25x full position, entry price $2,691.62, unrealized profit $93,100, liquidation price $2,496.67; funding fees already consumed $1.3115 million.
- HYPE: $14.279 million, 155,300 coins, 10x full position, unrealized profit $296,100, liquidation price $44.60.
- PUMP: $7.618 million, 1.225 billion coins, 10x full position, unrealized profit $229,200, liquidation price $0.0002142325.
The most outrageous is $ETH, a single position close to $100 million, accounting for over 60% of the perpetual positions. Now all four positions are in profit, but the margin has already been wiped out.
When making money, it's a god-level operation; on the flip side, it's like a needle popping back to the original state. Next, I will only focus on one thing: whether this $158 million continues to roll into profit or gets wiped out by a big bearish candle.
Maji #BTC #ETH #HYPE #PUMP #ContractTrading
The above is personal observation and does not constitute investment advice. High leverage carries extremely high risk; position sizing and stop-loss must be prioritized.
$BTC I always thought I caught the bottom, only to realize it was just halfway up the mountain.
This $BICO trade, with 8x full position deeply trapped and nearly 600% drawdown, taught me a harsh lesson.
I kept betting on an immediate rebound, always feeling that after such a drop it should rise, but I forgot—
In front of the trend, obsession is worthless.
The market never cares how much someone loses, nor will it give me a rebound just because I hold on longer.
Now I dare not add recklessly, nor cut lightly; being stuck between advance and retreat is the most tormenting state for a trader.
I don’t know if I can break even, I just tell myself: staying alive is more important than anything.

#9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ High leverage trading, what you really should watch is not the number of longs and shorts, but the whale profit structure. Today's comparison is very typical:
On the HYPE side, the whale long profit ratio is 72.43%, with funds solidly on the long side. My 20x long position steadily made profits, with unrealized gains once reaching +396%, basically following the smart money's rhythm.
On the BICO side, the long-short ratio looks high and there are many longs, but the whale long profit ratio is only 11.79%, with the vast majority of large holders' long positions underwater, while shorts have 88.42% in profit. My 8x full position bottom-fishing was directly crushed, with a drawdown of -549%, a lesson right in front of me.
The number of people reflects sentiment, but the profit ratio tells the truth.
Make profits when following the trend; when going against it on a hunch, the market will always teach me a lesson.
Today's thought: continue to respect the whale profit structure. Hold the trend on HYPE; no longer blindly add positions on BICO, first observe whether the short side's strength is exhausted, and do not fight the trend hard.

#OKXNOW：开启全天候市场新时代 20x short position, floating profit 472%! This wave of $MINA profits continues to hit new highs.
Recently, MINA's trend has been consistently weak, with weak rebounds. I shorted at 0.13373, firmly holding the position following the oscillating downward trend.
The price dropped to around 0.10213, and the unrealized profit on the account more than quadrupled. Holding a 20x leverage position is really not easy.
When the market weakens, go with the flow; shorting can also yield big gains. $ETH $ZEC 🔥 After long positions were liquidated for over $100 million, don't rush to celebrate the shorts' victory! 🧨 The real expert moves usually come not with the first drop, but with the second step after the liquidation.
📉 BTC's recent rebounds share a common trait: they look strong but fail to surpass previous highs. As a result, the market keeps repeating the script of "pump—chase longs—pullback—liquidation." The bulls have just undergone a round of concentrated cleansing; after short-term selling pressure is released, continuing to chase shorts may easily fall into another trap.
👀 For $BTC, the immediate resistance to watch is 85,000, and support is at 83,000. If the price rebounds close to 85,000 but still can't break through, that would be a comfortable zone for short-sellers to observe.
💣 Why be wary of the rebound? Because the large holders' long-to-short ratio remains as high as 1.596, indicating that big money's long positions haven't been completely wiped out in this wave. If the main players notice shorts concentrating below, they might instead push the price up to trigger a short squeeze.
📊 Additionally, on-chain market makers transferring chips to exchanges indeed signal bearishness, so I am not blindly bullish in the mid-term. But short-term and mid-term views must be separated: mid-term bearish does not mean it's suitable to blindly open shorts at the current level.
🌪️ Retail investors are still biased long as well, with Binance's long-to-short ratio at 1.2002, OKX around 1.22, and large holders' ratio about 1.2883.
🎯 Therefore, the best move now is not to rush the first wave but to wait for the market to reveal its direction. If 83,000 breaks, expect the bears to continue.The essence of Ethereum staking is exchanging "computational power trust" for "capital trust." It seems more environmentally friendly, but the cost is: the more chips large holders have, the greater their influence, and decentralization quietly faces a different kind of challenge $ETH Coverage: US Initial Jobless Claims (week ending October 3) | Transmission chain to gold, crude oil, BTC/ETH | Price projections under three scenarios | Volatility within 24 hours after release of similar historical data. 1. Core Viewpoint Tomorrow night at 8:30 PM, the initial jobless claims report will be the first independent employment damage assessment following the September nonfarm payroll surprise (only an increase of 29,000, with the previous two months revised down by about 60,000 in total). Its value lies not in the number itself but in answering one question: Is the US labor market currently "freezing hiring" or "starting layoffs"? The former corresponds to a mild cooling, the latter to a prelude to recession, with pricing differing by an order of magnitude between the two. The passing line is 200,000. The previous value was 197,000, the four-week average is 200,000, and the median forecast among 20 economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal is 200,000. Staying within 200,000 confirms "companies are neither hiring nor laying off," justifying long-term yields to remain high around 5.28%; once it surges above 250,000, the nature changes, marking the first rate cut narrative triggered by layoff data this year. This data should be viewed in conjunction with the previous report. Last week (week ending September 26), initial claims were 197,000, below the market expectation of 200,000; continuing claims simultaneously dropped to 1.701 million, down 11,000; the insured unemployment rate remained at 1.1%. Looking at these three data sets together, the conclusion is "heavy hiring, light layoffs"—the combination gold dislikes most but cannot refute. Simply put: the real play tomorrow night is long bonds. The harder the employment data, the 5.28%$ETH perpetual contract 100x short position: opened at 2713.14, now 2614.94, +361.94%.
Basis: weekly moving average resistance + macro sentiment turning bearish, short momentum confirmed. Stop loss at 2800, not triggered.
Execution: take profit on 50% of the position, move stop loss on remaining position up to 2680. Volume breakout at 2550, hold short until 2500, then reduce volume and clear position at bottom. Refuse emotional averaging down, close the trade cleanly and neatly. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ I started playing this because I saw people around me talking about it every day.
After hearing so much, I felt like I was missing out if I didn't participate.
I took some spare money, and I could accept losing it all.
My first purchase was $BTC, and after buying it, I kept wanting to watch the market.
I got happy when it went up a bit and scolded myself for being too quick when it dropped a little.
Back then, I didn't understand position sizing and impulsively added more.
I added so much that I couldn't sleep at night and felt exhausted during the day.
Later, I tried $ETH, but after holding it for a few days, I couldn't resist selling.
After selling, it went up, and I was so mad I kept slapping my leg.
Then I tried $SOL, and its volatility really made me dizzy.
It went up and down within minutes; if you have a weak heart, don't touch it.
After all the fuss, I didn't make much money but learned a lot of lessons.
The worst enemy isn't the market but myself, unable to control my impulses.
Greedy when it rises, scared when it falls, getting slapped in the face repeatedly.
When the position is heavy, you can't sleep well at night.
Poor sleep makes it easier to do stupid things the next day.
I followed others' trade calls a few times, only to find they had already exited.
The livelier the group chat, the more cautious I became about making moves.
If I don't understand a project, I skip it directly.
Don't even think about borrowing money to play this.
Don't touch your living expenses; that's the bottom line.
Don't get cocky when you earn, and don't rush to recover losses.
The market doesn't care if you're anxious.
Only positions you can sleep soundly with are worth holding.
Enter in batches, exit in batches, and keep some cash on hand.
Sometimes being out of the market feels much better than buying recklessly.
Look at the market less, focus on real work, and live a more normal life.
There are many opportunities in this circle, but even more traps.
Go slow, live longer.
Don't think about turning it all around in one shot; first, think about not losing big money.
It's all real money exchanged, ordinary but effective. #BTC巨鲸抛压减弱，ETF资金连续三周净流入

#美债长端收益率再创新高，30年期逼近5.7% $ETH's pullback this time is smoother than I expected.
There is obvious selling pressure above around 2693, and I only shorted after the short-term trend weakened.
With 100x leverage, the unrealized profit is 294%. Currently still holding at 2614, but the protection plan has already been prepared in advance.
It's not that I am bearish on it; it's just that before the structure strengthens, I won't stubbornly go against the market. $BTC $ZEC ZEC looks more like a weak correction; it's still too early to judge a reversal. Latest price 1319.48
The latest price remains below the EMA21 at 1340.7466, and the local rise is still suppressed by the short-term moving average. Both highs and lows are rising simultaneously, indicating the recovery structure is still intact, which also limits the reasons to be directly bearish.
The previous complete 4-hour trading volume ratio was 0.82, and OBV is declining; the volume did not keep up with this recovery, weakening the credibility of an upward breakout.
If the latest price continues to break below 1,305.47, the local recovery judgment will no longer hold; a single intraday touch does not count as a confirmed breakout.🔥Attention! The bulls have just been liquidated, and now it might actually be the easiest time to short and get hit! 🤓 In this wave, over $100 million long positions were liquidated in 1 hour, and market sentiment was clearly shaken hard.
📊 Looking back at recent movements, a pattern emerges: every BTC rally looks like a breakout, but none truly surpass the previous high. Buyers chasing the rally keep entering, only to be counterattacked. After this round of concentrated bull liquidation, short-term bears dominate, but the momentum may not last.
⚡ $BTC If you short directly now, you might immediately face a rebound candle. Especially when shorts get crowded, the main players could exploit the lack of liquidity to pump a local short squeeze.
🌊 On the funding side, a notable signal appears: on-chain market makers are moving chips to exchanges, indicating a growing mid-term bearish tone. Yet, large holders' long-short ratio remains high at 1.596, so bulls haven't fully conceded.
🎯 So now is not simply a "short when it falls" scenario. 85,000 is the key short-term resistance; if a rebound hits this and is rejected again, the risk-reward for shorts improves. Below, 83,000 is critical support; only a valid break below requires further caution for downside risk.
🧠 Bull-bear data still leans bullish: Binance retail 1.2002, OKX retail 1.22, large holders 1.2883.
🚨 The more people are bearish, the more you must beware of sudden short squeezes.
#9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ $SAND Pros and Cons at a Glance (Focus on Cons)
Pros
1. Low creative threshold, free, no coding required to create content, asset rights confirmed on-chain
2. IP with 400+ brand partnerships, 8 million users, 400,000 creators
3. Low dilution pressure, the team's and advisors' 5-year lock-up period has ended
3. There is income: the market takes 5% from each transaction, half funds creators, half goes into the staking pool, staking yields returns
Cons
1. Intense competition, user activity continuously declining
2. Highly concentrated token holdings
3. 50% layoffs last year, internal team turmoil
4. Attacked in August this year, loss of 67.5$CT perpetual contract 20x short position, opened at 0.4823, now at 0.3829, floating profit +412.19%.
0.4823 was the guillotine of this rebound; the bulls tried to push higher but were slapped down immediately. I jumped out of the cockpit accordingly, fully leveraging 20x to ride this free fall.
Taking half the profit to pocket first, the rest is set at 0.43 to break even. If 0.35 can still be broken through by momentum, I'll drift a bit longer; once the buy-side warms up below, I'll close the position and get ashore immediately. $BTC $ETH #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？ Directly put the judgment here: $SOL still needs to consolidate at the bottom in the short term!
First, the news is mostly bearish. ETF funds are in a wait-and-see mood, with significant net outflows during the week, while BTC continues to accumulate, clearly indicating that funds are avoiding SOL to hold bigger coins. Coupled with declining network activity and lack of new ecological narratives, short-term consensus is loosening.
Second, the market has broken down and weakened. Current price is 145, down 2.8% in 24 hours, with a low of 142. EMA5/10/20 are at 148, 152, and 155 respectively, all moving averages are suppressing from above! Volume is shrinking, and the rebound is weak.
However, the mid-term logic hasn't collapsed, so keep holding and be the last to smile! Lately, I've been seeing a lot of news about cryptocurrencies.
A friend pulled me into a group, shouting about getting rich every day.
I took a look at $BTC; its ups and downs are like a roller coaster
If you have a weak heart, really don't touch it
$ETH is about the same, lively but hectic.
$SOL is fast, but the fees and downtime are headache-inducing.
To be honest, this game is all about mindset.
You can try with spare money, but don't go all in.
Don't believe in guaranteed profits; there's no such thing.
I only dare to watch, not to hold heavy positions.
Watching the market at night is exhausting; the next day at work feels like you're soulless.
Don't get cocky when you win, don't borrow when you lose.
Only what you can cash out counts as money.
The rest are just numbers on a screen.
If you really want to get into it, first understand wallets and private keys.
Otherwise, if your coins are gone, you won't even know who to ask.
That's it, weigh it yourself. #9月FOMC会议纪要公布在即，是否继续加息？

#OKXNOW：开启全天候市场新时代 [Old Chive Observation]
$ARB has a relatively solid new catalyst this time.
Paxos's $USDG has officially launched on Arbitrum, and Arbitrum has also joined the Global Dollar Network. More importantly, Arbitrum DAO has introduced a 100 million ARB incentive plan aimed at promoting USDG liquidity and adoption.
Currently, the ARB price is only around $0.18 and is still falling today.
This is quite interesting:
Stablecoins come in → DeFi applications connect → ARB incentivizes liquidity → ecosystem funds increase.
The news is out, but the price hasn't surged yet.
Entry: $0.180–$0.195
Take profit: $0.215 / $0.235 / $0.260 / $0.290 / $0.330
Stop loss: $0.168While walking the dog, I happened to check Solana's DeFi data.
TVL rose from $5.6 billion in early September to $6.7 billion. That's nearly a 20% increase.
It's not the price going up, but the amount of money locked in on-chain DeFi protocols increasing. This is more interesting than candlestick charts because it doesn't rely on sentiment; it depends on real people putting assets in and using them.
The dog was chasing a butterfly over there, and I looked at the numbers several times to make sure I wasn't mistaken.
Honestly, I’ve always been a bit worried—would $SOL’s narrative rely entirely on ETFs? What if the money from the stock market stops coming? But the DeFi data here reassures me a bit. ETFs are slow money; on-chain activity is active money. When slow money cools down, active money is still moving, which means the underlying demand hasn’t stopped.
Also, new things like RWA and tokenized stocks are running on Solana. It’s not just memes.
The dog came back, tongue hanging out long. I patted its head.
Don’t worry, the story is still long.South Africa's First National Bank (FNB) has launched crypto trading, but customers face a key limitation: they can buy but cannot withdraw.
According to TechCentral, these crypto assets will be "fenced within the FNB ecosystem" and cannot be transferred to personal wallets. Currently, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, and USDT are available for trading.
The most noteworthy aspect of this is the "can buy but cannot withdraw" policy.
Users can gain price exposure to the assets but cannot transfer the coins to their own wallets, meaning they cannot truly self-custody.
For the bank, this design is easy to understand: assets always remain within their system, reducing compliance risks associated with on-chain transfers, external wallets, and custody.
But for users, the cost is also clear.
One of the core features of crypto assets is control over the assets, which is removed here.
So this product is more like a "crypto brokerage account": you can buy BTC and enjoy the gains from price increases, but you cannot actually take possession of the BTC.
This actually raises a very interesting question:
If you cannot self-custody, are you really buying crypto assets, or just a price certificate of crypto assets?
