Staring at this half-dead market to analyze some triangle convergence, don't you find it tiring for your eyes? The trading volume has shrunk almost to the bottom, indicating that there's barely any desire left to buy or sell in the market. Yet the group chat is still arguing about how solid the support level is, as if just drawing a few lines means the main players have to follow your script to push the price up. If there really were funds wanting to ignite the market, would it be grinding down so ugly here? I'm just watching without moving; if it really crashes, someone else will be more anxious than me to fill the pit first.
$ETH $ENA $PENDLE $DOGE had a mid-move spike with floating profits pulled back, no exit. Set the stop loss and just wait; no need to watch if the stop isn't hit. This trade won because the plan was made before entry.
+144.06% looks great, but DOGE can't float at 50x leverage. Close half to push the stop loss, leave the rest to the market.
Many people get the direction right but can't hold on; once the plan is written, don't change it, and if you do, don't blame the market. This trade is going according to plan. $BTC $ETH #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 Let's first see who can continue the rise meow 😺
$HYPE I think this week looks promising, but don't rush to call 100 yet. It's currently around 91, not far from the high near 98 on September 23. The previous high is a clear observation point; whether it can surpass it depends on subsequent performance. The closer it gets to such a level, the easier it is to prematurely factor the post-breakout gains into profits, resulting in adding positions before the price actually breaks through. If after the breakout it pulls back but stays above, then consider a new phase of the trend. For now, I lean towards continuing to watch for its upward momentum.
$BICO I'm more interested in the activity on the contracts side. According to CoinGecko, the 24-hour volume of perpetual contracts is about 12.7 times that of the spot market. This gap is worth noting but cannot be directly used to judge bullish or bearish direction. If it suddenly spikes later, don't rush to interpret it as long-term optimism. Opening and closing positions on contracts also amplify short-term volatility. If spot trading becomes active this week, the rise has more basis; if only contracts are lively, I will control my position size.
$SOL Around 121, the increase in the past 24 hours is less than 1%, and the start of the week is relatively mild. For now, I treat the round number 120 as an observation point, not prematurely assuming it as support. If it falls back and quickly recovers, that is very different from breaking down and rebounding without touching it again. So there's no need to frequently enter or exit just to guess the direction; wait until the price reaches a key level and observe the reaction clearly before deciding.
#Solana代币化股票9月交易量突破44亿美元 📈$DOGE Market Review｜Dogecoin Bottom Rising, Preparing to Challenge Previous High Resistance🔥
DOGE current price is $0.09611, 4-hour timeframe, short-term support at 0.09601, upper resistance at 0.10011, previous high spike at 0.10598, which is a key level in this round of the market.
Market details breakdown🧐
From the 4-hour candlestick chart, the recent pullback lows are continuously rising, representing a typical oscillating upward structure. The MACD indicator's DIFF has crossed above the DEA, with red bars just starting to appear, indicating bullish momentum is gradually recovering.
News catalyst: DogeOS and DogecoinVM have officially launched, updating DOGE's DeFi ecosystem, which is an important driver for this rebound.
0.09601 is the current short-term lifeline; the price is just near this support level. Holding here will allow the oscillating strengthening structure to continue; there is considerable selling pressure around 0.10011, so breaking through requires volume support.
Correlation logic: Dogecoin is the Meme leader, and its market trend largely follows the overall environment of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin maintains strength, DOGE has a chance to test the previous high at 0.10598; if Bitcoin weakens, Meme coins will pull back faster than mainstream coins, with more volatile swings.
✅ Confirmation observation criteria
🔺 Upward: Volume-supported hold above 0.10011 is needed to have a chance to attack the 0.10598 high; a light touch does not count as a valid breakout.
🔻 Downward: A solid break below the 0.09601 support weakens this rebound structure, returning to range-bound oscillation Brothers, this recent market really makes me feel both love and hate. $BTC is grinding back and forth between 83,000 and 84,000, with daily volatility less than 1%, and volume has shrunk to the point where "there's no strength even to spike a needle." $ETH is even worse, stuck around 2,500, unable to rise or fall, with L2s absorbing most of the mainnet revenue. Meanwhile, US Treasury yields have surged to 5.31%, a level unseen since 2002. This kind of macro and on-chain tension happening $BTC 100x long, entered at 85155 and exited at 86001, +98.46%. The support held when I entered, pulled up and took half off, nothing to brag about.
The rest is pushed to break-even, let it go however it wants. The money earned in hand is truly yours; the numbers on the screen don't count.
This trade had no technical complexity, just the courage to act at the right position and to take profit at the target. Will do the same next time. $ETH $ZEC #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 This early morning surge directly broke through the consolidation zone.
BTC surged to a high of $86,687, approaching the previous high near $87,000, with bulls dominating above $86,000; ETH broke above the $2,700–2,720 resistance zone with volume, reaching a high of $2,736.86, breaking days of consolidation and opening room for a catch-up rally.
This round is not just driven by news but by the resonance of regulation, capital, and macro factors, combined with concentrated short covering, which pushed the market so decisively. The key is to watch two levels: BTC holding $86,000 and ETH holding $2,700; the bullish structure remains intact.
However, after such a sharp rally, a pullback and shakeout are most likely. Don’t blindly chase the highs just because of a long bullish candle, and don’t get shaken out before the breakout.
Next, will it continue to break previous highs, or will it pull back to gather strength? Share your judgment in the comments.

#OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ #FedSeptemberMinutes Two releases, but one question matters 👀
ISM Services comes first, then the Fed minutes on Oct 7. After weak payrolls cooled October hike bets, markets want to know whether the Fed saw September's hike as necessary insurance or the start of more tightening.
What I'm watching: how officials balanced sticky inflation against softer jobs.
PMI tells us what's happening now. The minutes tell us what could make the Fed move again.$167 million more to sweep 1.9 million HYPE, is someone taking the unlocked tokens?
Hyperliquid Strategies has acted again, buying about 1.9 million HYPE for $167.2 million, bringing their total holdings to 37 million tokens. Real money speaks louder than any slogan, igniting market sentiment.
But a single large purchase can’t be directly translated as "institutional bullishness." Increasing holdings could be a long-term allocation or involve financing arrangements and position management; their holding period is on a different level than retail investors.
An even more interesting contrast is right in front of us: on one side, massive continuous buying; on the other, nearly 3.75 million tokens unlocking on October 6. Both are true—one proves big money is willing to take tokens, the other reminds you that circulating supply is increasing.
If accumulation continues and unlocked tokens don’t obviously flood exchanges, the market’s absorption capacity will have passed the test. Conversely, just looking at who’s buying isn’t enough; you also have to see who’s ready to sell. For $HYPE right now, both bulls and bears have evidence in hand.Elon Musk enters the Pentagon again, but don't rush to directly jump into DOGE.
The U.S. has launched the "Meridian Project," led by Musk and others, with a 120-day timeline to produce a report studying the future directions of warfare technology, focusing on autonomous systems, robotics, space, and missile defense.
BTC surged 42.71% in Q3, ETH rose over 70%, the market is hot, but liquidity is shifting from mainstream coins to infrastructure tokens recognized by institutions, with altcoin withdrawals to exchanges hitting a new high since last October.
SpaceX has long been a core supplier to the U.S. military. Once the AI military industry narrative is favored by capital, it will compete with the crypto space for market funds and attention.
BTC is oscillating repeatedly around $85,000, with two failed attempts to break the $87,000 yearly high. The market never lacks stories, but what it lacks is solid consensus on funds.
Don't automatically assume that news related to Musk is necessarily positive for the crypto market. $BTC $ZEC

BlockBeats reports that on October 5, Bank of America raised Coinbase's price target from $174 to $203 and reiterated a "Buy" rating. The bank expects stablecoin revenue to further increase following the Federal Reserve's rate hike in September, leading to an upward revision of Coinbase's earnings per share (EPS) forecasts for 2027 to 2028. However, due to weakening cryptocurrency trading volumes, Bank of America lowered its near-term performance expectations for Coinbase, despite Bitcoin and Ethereum rising 43% and 70% respectively in Q3.
Traditional institutions are starting to price stablecoin revenue, which is more interesting than just watching candlestick charts. The price is rising but spot volume hasn't kept up, indicating this wave relies on pipeline funds rather than retail sentiment, so chasing highs is risky. Has your side seen a rebound in deposits and on-chain activity? 👇👇👇
$BTC $ETH $GOOGL A new way of playing is emerging in the US stock market.
In September, Solana's tokenized stock trading volume hit a record high of $4.4 billion, with about 1.2 million holders, adding 770,000 new users in just one month.
More and more people are choosing to trade US stocks on-chain, for a very practical reason: after the US stock market closes, the on-chain market operates 24/7, with a large volume of trades happening outside traditional trading hours.
Looking back at the RWA narrative, what’s interesting may not just be "moving stocks onto the blockchain," but that investors are no longer satisfied with the US stock market’s mere six and a half hours of daily trading time.

(For market observation only, not investment advice)【Hot Sector｜AI Coins Rally Together, FET Up About 12% in a Single Day】
OKX Market (Beijing 18:36): FET around 0.260 USDT, up about 12% in 24 hours, daily high 0.2722; VIRTUAL around 0.867, up about 10%; NEAR around 5.02, up about 4%. Meanwhile, BTC around 86,073 USD (Beijing 18:36, Coinbase), up only about 1.7% in 48 hours (see attached chart).
Catalyst: No single positive news from the FET project team; FXStreet and others attribute this to capital rotating from DeFi to the AI sector. Additionally, the FET perpetual funding rate on OKX is about -0.05%, shorts are paying fees, and some are shorting against the trend.
Tomorrow (October 6), OKX Now Singapore Product Day will also feature AI topics, with the hackathon final projects based on X Layer and OKX AI, possibly sustaining sector sentiment.
My view: Rotation rallies come fast and go fast; 0.27–0.30 is FET's previous high resistance, and falling back below 0.24 would mean a failed breakout. Negative funding rates combined with price rises can easily trigger a short squeeze, but avoid chasing highs with full positions.
This does not constitute investment advice. $FET BTC Bullish Signals:
• Perfect bullish moving average alignment: SMA 7 (82,809) and SMA 50 (71,531) are both below the current price, forming a clean ascending order, a hallmark of a sustained bull market.
• RSI in a healthy range: currently around 64.58, confirming buying pressure but far from the overbought threshold above 70, indicating room for further upside.
• Active buying dominance: buy-to-sell transaction ratio reaches 1.44, with buyers actively taking orders 44% more than sellers, reflecting confident demand behavior.
⚠️ The only warning signal: MACD histogram at zero.
The MACD signal line and indicator line fully coincide, with the histogram value at zero—recent bullish momentum has been exhausted from a numerical perspective. This is not a sell signal but a pause signal: next, either new buying will push it upward again, or a shift to negative values will provide a tactical window for short-term bears.
Today (October 5), BTC strongly tested the key resistance at $87,000 driven by macro positive factors, but failed to hold above it on two attempts, with bulls and bears fiercely contesting at this price level.
Last Friday's US September nonfarm payroll data showed only 29,000 new jobs added, far below market expectations, with July and August data revised down by a total of 60,000. The unemployment rate rose from 4.1% to 4.2%, and average hourly earnings year-over-year growth dropped to 3.0%.
This data directly caused the probability of a Fed rate hike in October to plunge from about 36% a week ago to less than 20%, while some market forecasts had previously approached 70%. New York Fed President Williams had earlier stated "no need to rush action," further reinforcing the market consensus of a "pause in October."
However, note: the mainstream market logic is shifting to "pause in October, reassess in December"—inflation remains above the 2% target, energy prices are high, and uncertainty remains whether this rate hike cycle is truly over.#本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要
$BTC $ETH
$SOL
This week, the Federal Reserve will release the minutes of the September meeting. The overall tone is very likely to be hawkish, but the market has already priced this in. In the short term, this is neutral to slightly positive for the stock market, while providing support for bonds and the US dollar.
The core logic lies in the "time lag": At the September meeting, the Fed unanimously approved a rate hike, and the dot plot showed that most officials expected another hike within the year, signaling a strong stance. The minutes will likely reflect this hawkish discussion. However, subsequent releases of weaker-than-expected nonfarm payroll and PCE data have caused the market's pricing for an October hike to drop sharply from 70% to less than 20%. Therefore, no matter how hawkish the minutes are, they are essentially "reheating old news" and unlikely to reverse the market's already formed expectation that the Fed will slow down rate hikes.
For assets, the key is whether the "hawkishness" in the minutes exceeds expectations. If it merely repeats the September statement, market reaction will be muted, and US stocks may continue their own logic. Only if there are unexpectedly strong hawkish remarks, such as most officials clearly supporting further action in October, will US Treasury yields and the dollar be pushed higher again, putting pressure especially on US tech stocks. Overall, this minutes report is more like a "rearview mirror"; the probability of a decline is low, and the upside is limited.
#霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变
#OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ As of October 5, about 1.5 million ETH are waiting to enter the Ethereum staking queue, valued at approximately $4 billion, with an expected wait time of about 25 days; meanwhile, about 786,000 ETH are still in the exit queue, with an expected wait of nearly 14 days. On September 29, the exit queue was only about 166,000 ETH but rose to about 851,000 ETH by October 2. The surge in the current exit queue is mainly related to MetaMask's preventive withdrawal of validators following a security 🔥 After BTC dropped from 87239, have the bears finally gotten their time to strike back?
The current price has returned to around 85573, with the short-term trend clearly cooling down. RSI6 has dipped to 24.1, and the price has fallen below the short-term EMA. The advantage previously gained by bulls from the rapid surge is gradually being eroded.
📉 But a reminder: the start of a decline does not mean you can blindly short.
When RSI quickly enters the low zone, the market is prone to technical rebounds. What really matters is the strength of the rebound—if the rebound is just a weak correction and the price soon breaks below the low again, then the bearish trend is more likely to continue.
🎯 The first key observation area now is 83000. Holding here may lead to consolidation; if volume increases and it breaks down, then around 80500 could become the next target zone.
🔥 As for the short positions trapped near 80000 earlier, whether they can be freed depends on whether there is a continuous decline afterward. One single spike up and pullback is not enough to conclude.
🧠 My trading logic has always been simple: if it breaks down, expect continuation; if it rebounds, watch for resistance; if key levels are not confirmed, do not fully commit your position in advance.
⚠️ The more volatile the market, the more you need to control risk.
💬 Tonight, do you favor 83000 holding for a rebound, or continuing down toward 80500 or even 80000? Share your judgment in the comments. #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 To be honest, I myself think it's quite lucky this trade has lasted until now. I was watching the market in the early hours yesterday; $CT retraced but didn't break the lower support, and the buying pressure gradually strengthened, so I suggested that long positions could be followed, but not to rush chasing.
During the intraday bottom consolidation, it was still grinding around 0.3767 when I entered, and I got out at 0.4405, a floating profit of +339.26%. This gain feels very satisfying.
The market waits to be timed, and profits come from holding. Don't get greedy with profits, and don't despair over pullbacks.
I took profit on 70% first, keeping the remaining 30% at cost price as protection. If it continues to rise, let the profits run; if it falls back, don't let the gains become uncomfortable. For friends who haven't entered yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush in. Chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, and move when the next signal appears.
$SOL $SNDK Monday Morning Report: $BTC rises alone draining liquidity, I got hit again on $BONK at dawn 🤡
As usual, setting the tone for this week's macro outlook. 🌞
First, the hot topics: #BTC spot ETF sees continuous net inflows, ETH/BTC exchange rate weakens
The signal is clear: funds are clustering around BTC, altcoin pools are getting shallower. Altcoins are prone to sudden spikes and sharp drops this week, don't catch falling knives lightly.
——————
Overnight review:
📉 Chart 1: $BONK long position, entered at 20:12 last night, stopped out at 23:40 after breaking support, loss of -26.8% (4.31U lost). Couldn't resist trading over the weekend, opening a position at dawn really got me hooked.
📉 Chart 2: $NG natural gas short grid, running for 1 day 11 hours. Nearly pierced through before the US market open after a rally, currently floating loss of -1.96%, unpaired losses still present.
——————
📋 This week's battle plan:
1. Only observe altcoins, no heavy positions or averaging down; going against the BTC trend is just giving away money.
2. Close software after 11 PM, absolutely no late-night trades, cut all emotional trades.
3. Set hard stop loss on natural gas grid; if US market continues to break highs, manually stop trading, no holding losing positions.
💬 Brothers, how's your battle going this new week?
BTC draining liquidity, ETH weakening, will you embrace the mainstream or wait for altcoin rebounds?

#日本散户逆势做空，日元升值博弈加剧 $XRP Damn it! This XRP order book is giving me high blood pressure. It's quiet outside, but inside the order book it's dog-eat-dog; the market makers at 1.51 keep washing back and forth, the retail traders are almost completely stripped 😂
The K-line volume has shrunk and moved sideways for three days, the order wall at 1.5169 is ridiculously thick, can't break it down, and the pull-up is sluggish. Isn't this obviously a stealth accumulation? The old trick: shake out until no one dares to touch it before moving.
I'm lying in wait near 1.5169, if it breaks 1.48 I'll admit defeat and leave, first target above is 1.6. Don't fomo chase the highs, buy on the pullback to avoid losses.
What do you guys think? If you want to follow, check the XRP market card below to see the order book👇👇👇
The above is just my personal opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile, please make decisions cautiously, profits and losses are your own responsibility.$INTW This isn't a rebound; it's more like CPR for my short account, right?
Opened the market this morning, and INTW jumped up again. I almost thought I'd be proven wrong. But the volume didn't keep up, the rebound was weak, and every surge ran out of steam. I placed my short around 30.26, saying at the time: no one is catching it on the way up, don't mistake it for a reversal.
Looking back now, the timing was spot on.
From 30.26 down to 28.41, a +152.84% gain in hand, feeling good.
Don't let profits inflate, don't despair over pullbacks.
Better to miss a limit-up than catch a flying knife and bleed out.
Take 80% off the table first, then move the stop to cost on the remaining 20%. If it keeps dropping, let the profits run. Don't be greedy for the last bit, and don't give back gains during the rebound.
For friends who haven't entered yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush. Wait for the next shot.
$ADA $BNB $BTC $ETH $ZEC
Today's market rebound is driven by "short covering," not a broad rally, so chasing highs carries high risk. There are only two directions with clear positive catalysts:
The AI crypto sector is currently the strongest main theme. Grayscale's latest report points out that this sector rose 54% in September, significantly outperforming the overall market (24%). Representative tokens NEAR and WLD both showed notable gains. Grayscale believes that in the next 5 years, major winners may emerge because the AI agent economy requires blockchain as the infrastructure for payments, identity, and privacy.
On the regulatory front, the SEC has just approved listing rules for 3x leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs. The significance of this is that institutional investors can use compliant products to take leveraged exposure, potentially bringing incremental capital, which is a medium-term structural positive for BTC and ETH.
In short-term volatility, GTC surged over 80% in 24 hours after the founder announced the project restart, but this is purely a news-driven capital game with extremely high risk.
Core judgment: Major coins are in recovery, but $87,000 is a strong resistance level for BTC, having failed to hold after two attempts. Today, the only playable sector with fundamental narrative support is AI; most others are just rebounds, not reversals.
#本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ $WLD
WLD reverses against the overall market decline; why doesn't yesterday's strength guarantee today?
The 24-hour range observed this morning is 0.5737—0.6002, with a window change of about -1.73% and a trading volume of approximately 10.2 million USDT.
BTC is rising while WLD's window is negative, indicating that yesterday's strength will change. We cannot ignore today's divergence just because the previous period performed well; continuation needs to be revalidated within the current window.
If it subsequently breaks above 0.6002, holds on a pullback, and trading volume supports it, I will raise my judgment on continuation; the downside risk is a failed breakout and insufficient buying pressure. If it falls below 0.5737 and the rebound cannot recover, I will lower my judgment. The range is based on this observation; subsequent market changes need to be rechecked.🔥 If you only look at BTC rising, it might not mean much; but when BTC rises, and then ETH and ZEC start to follow, and the dormant sectors begin to move, that's worth serious attention.
📊 BTC has climbed back above 86000, with a noticeable increase in trading volume, indicating that market participation is picking up. Once funds become active again, the most common phenomenon is continuous rotation between sectors.
🚀 Today, BTC seems like the first runner, with ETH and ZEC closely following. Who will take the second and third baton next is the most interesting part now.
🔥 Mainstream coins, AI, DeFi, and privacy sectors could all become the next directions where funds seek opportunities. As long as the profit-making effect continues, capital may keep spreading out from the sectors that have already risen.
⚠️ Of course, don’t interpret "rotation" as blindly buying. A truly strong market requires volume and price coordination: price rises with volume, sector gains have sustainability, and capital can continuously spread out—this is what deserves attention.
😮 Currently, short positions on BTC, ETH, and ZEC still exist. If BTC continues to break out with increasing volume, shorts may become increasingly passive, even facing further squeezes.
🧠 So this time, I won’t just focus on a single bullish candle, but will observe whether funds can keep entering the market.
💰 If volume and price rise together and sector relay continues, this rally may be far from over.
💬 Which sector do you favor most right now? BTC, ETH, ZEC, or AI/DeFi/privacy sectors? #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 🔥 BTC has climbed back above 86000, and with this, the market sentiment is starting to change.
The biggest change today is not just a simple rise, but a significant increase in trading volume, indicating that market capital activity is picking up. After BTC moves first, ETH and ZEC begin to follow, and previously quiet sectors are gradually attracting capital attention.
📈 This is a typical rotation market scenario worth observing: capital won't stay with BTC forever. Once the leader establishes a trend, the market usually starts looking for the next breakthrough in valuation, position, or sentiment.
🚀 If AI, DeFi, privacy, and other sectors continue to take over, then the level of this rally deserves a fresh evaluation.
⚠️ But we can't declare a full bull market just because of one big bullish candle. What really matters is whether the volume can sustain continuously, whether BTC can hold above the breakout level, and whether the sector gains can form a lasting trend.
😮 Even more exciting, short positions on BTC, ETH, and ZEC still exist. After BTC returns above 86000, if volume continues to expand and price pushes higher, shorts may face double pressure: rising prices and forced stop-losses.
🧠 The hotter the market gets, the more important it is to stay calm.
💬 Do you think this rotation has just begun, or has it already reached its peak? Bulls and bears, feel free to check in! #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ Order Book Strength Ranking
5-minute median slippage, estimated based on order book, excluding fees
$CT buy slippage increases significantly with order size: buy slippage for orders equivalent to 10,000 and 100,000 USDT is 0.09% and 0.51%, respectively. Large order slippage is about 0.42 percentage points higher.
$FET sell slippage increases significantly with order size: sell slippage for orders equivalent to 10,000 and 100,000 USDT is 0.08% and 0.31%, respectively. Large order slippage is about 0.23 percentage points higher.
$VIRTUAL buy slippage increases significantly with order size: buy slippage for orders equivalent to 10,000 and 100,000 USDT is 0.06% and 0.28%, respectively. Large order slippage is about 0.22 percentage points higher.🔥 Once the market starts rotating, the feeling of the trading floor is completely different.
BTC has reclaimed 86000, and the trading volume has clearly increased. What concerns me most about this signal is not BTC itself, but that capital is beginning to seek new opportunities again.
🚀 Today's rhythm is already very clear: BTC leads the charge, ETH and ZEC follow the relay, and sectors that previously had little presence are starting to show movement.
📊 This often means that market funds are no longer satisfied with just one direction but are looking for the next breakthrough. Mainstream coins, AI, DeFi, privacy sectors—whichever first shows a profit effect, capital may gather there.
⚠️ But don’t get carried away just because you see rotation. A truly healthy market is not one where some rise today and fall tomorrow, but one where trading volume continues to expand and the upward movement spreads continuously.
😮 Currently, short positions on BTC, ETH, and ZEC have not completely disappeared. If BTC continues to hold above 86000 and breaks out with volume, bears may face increasing forced liquidations.
🧠 So now I’m watching two things: first, whether BTC can continue to increase volume, and second, whether capital can spread from BTC to more sectors.
🔥 If both happen simultaneously, this rally might really not be over yet.

AG Thorson
— a globally renowned Chartered Market Technician (CMT) in the precious metals market,
and the founding editor of the research institution GoldPredict.com.
His recent analysis presents a very clear logical chain:
The premise for gold hitting bottom is not that gold itself has fallen enough, but that U.S. Treasury yields can no longer rise.
Last Friday, he published again, making a startling statement:
This round of gold's decline is not the end of the bull market,
but the "final drop."
The real buying opportunity may appear in October,
and by 2030, it could ultimately rise to $10,000.
He believes the true bottom for gold
may not occur at the time of "the worst news," but rather when "U.S. Treasuries are at their most frenzied." 🔥 The feeling of a full takeoff is back! BTC has climbed back above 86000, and the trading volume has clearly increased. The most direct change in the market is that funds are becoming active again.
🚀 Today, it's not just BTC rising on its own; there are obvious signs of rotation. BTC leads the charge, followed closely by ETH and ZEC strengthening. Sectors that had been quiet for a while are also starting to emerge one after another.
📈 The real point to watch in this market is not "how much BTC has risen today," but whether funds have started to spread from one sector to another.
🔥 If mainstream coins continue to be strong, and AI, DeFi, and privacy sectors also take turns to rally, it would mean market sentiment might be shifting from cautious observation back to an offensive stance.
⚠️ Of course, a single big bullish candle does not directly prove that a new round of the market has started. Whether the volume can sustain and funds can continue to spread is the most critical verification going forward.
😮 The most interesting thing is that the short positions on BTC, ETH, and ZEC are still there. Now that BTC has climbed back above 86000, if volume continues to increase upward, the pressure on the bears will likely grow.
🎯 So now I am more focused on the coordination of volume and price and sector rotation.
💬 Do you think this is just a rebound, or the start of a new round of comprehensive rotation? #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ BTCUSDT Perpetual · 100x Long · Position Open

#OKXNOW:LiveTomorrow Monday On-Chain: $190 Million Is Not a Gamble, It's a Position 🐋
As usual, let's talk on-chain. 🌞
First, the moves: a certain giant whale cleared out all miscellaneous holdings, leaving only BTC and ETH as chips. $190 million contract exposure, almost entirely on the majors. $BTC high-leverage base position remains untouched, $ETH acts as ballast; despite sharp spikes back and forth, no major withdrawals are seen. Outwardly aggressive, but inside it's a stubborn macro bet—not chasing hot spots, not guessing short-term moves, betting on the big trends of liquidity, interest rates, and risk appetite.
The logic: he's not betting on a single candlestick, but on the cycle. Clearing small coins avoids noise diluting judgment; focusing on core assets means trading bigger volatility for purer Beta. But the problem is here too: the bigger the size and the higher the leverage, the thinner the margin for error. Even if the direction is right, the process might not hold; a single reverse spike could push to the safety boundary.
📋 My view:
1. This $190 million is both conviction and vulnerability.
2. The whole network is watching not how brave he is, but whether this "heavy on majors, macro bet" approach can survive the volatility to be validated.
3. Betting right is called vision; betting wrong is leverage. For now, he's still at the table.
💬 Brothers, with this kind of position-heavy stance, are you in or out? #ETH触及2500美元后震荡 #美股探索代币化与全天候交易 #波动雷达：币种异动观察

Top three account for 99% of this week's total unlock volume.🔥 The easiest mistake with ETH right now is trying to guess in advance whether it will crash or surge tonight.
$ETH has already reached the critical resistance zone of 2740–2760, which is where my real focus lies.
📊 If the price only touches around 2740 and then falls back, it indicates that selling pressure above remains obvious; if it can break through 2760 with volume, and is not immediately pushed back after the breakout, that means the bulls have truly taken control.
🚀 Once a strong breakout is confirmed, I’m more inclined to follow the trend rather than keep guessing the top against the momentum. After all, strong rallies tend to make shorts doubt continuously, eventually forcing them to cover repeatedly.
📉 Conversely, if the price can’t push higher and even falls back below the key range, then it’s time to be cautious about profit-taking after this rally. Especially since this rise itself has limited pullback, the more continuous the rally, the more you need to guard against sudden volatility releases.
🧠 As for the ETF, don’t treat it as the only answer tonight. The spot ETF is already part of the market structure, and short-term prices often trade expectations in advance; the actual news release may lag behind.
🎯 So tonight, I’m not guessing the top nor betting on the bottom in advance.
If it breaks 2760, see how far the bulls can go; if it can’t, wait for a pullback signal.
💬 Which side do you think ETH will choose tonight? #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ As soon as the non-farm payroll data came out, my first reaction was: the rate hike gun has finally been put down. In September, only 29,000 jobs were added, the expectation was 90,000, the unemployment rate climbed to 4.2%, wage growth dropped to 3.0%, and August was revised down to 133,000. Typical low hiring and low layoffs, not a crash but cooling off. The market immediately withdrew bets on another rate hike in October, with the probability of the FOMC holding steady on the 27th to 28th reaching 80%.
But don’t celebrate too early, the bond market is pouring cold water. The 10-year US Treasury yield surged to 5.28% on Friday, the highest since 2007, the dollar index at 101.9 is still rising on the weekly chart, and financial conditions are actually much tighter than the Fed’s interest rate suggests.
Oil prices are the second bombshell. Brent returned to $103, WTI at 91.57, the Houthis said they attacked Saudi Aramco facilities, tightening the Middle East situation again. OPEC+ maintained November quotas unchanged on October 4, the G7 just released 100 million barrels of diesel reserves on the 2nd to try to suppress prices, but geopolitical turmoil made it all useless. Oil prices over $100 directly fuel inflation and give the Fed an excuse not to cut rates.
My own judgment: macro expectations for rate cuts have returned, but liquidity hasn’t truly loosened. BTC’s rebound this time is driven by expectations, not real money easing. Watch two dates this week: October 7 for the Fed minutes, and the 14th for September CPI. If CPI sticks above 3%, even the 80% no-rate-hike probability will have to be discounted. Good data but no money coming, don’t chase #本周迎非农与PCE关键数据 "Instead of waiting for the wind, better to wait for positions to cool down first"
Macro data is on the cold side: Nonfarm payrolls at 29,000, unemployment rate at 4.2%, the direction is unclear, so funds are retreating halfway. BTC is held in a silent zone, exchange inventories have dropped to a four-month low, long-term holders are not letting go, and whale movements remain unpredictable. Although September ETFs attracted $2.6 billion, prices remain heavy, and the selling pressure above has not dissipated. Both bulls and bears are waiting; no one wants to pay the tuition fee first.
ETH is entering a turnover phase. Chips are exchanged back and forth within the range, shorts occasionally cover and brighten the market. Ancient whales transferred out $356 million, while recently some whales increased holdings by about 60,000 coins; old funds are exiting, new funds are taking over. Q3 ETF net inflows reached $3.1 billion, ranking third historically, but single-day outflows indicate the trend has not yet shifted.
SOL is the tightest. The active buy-sell ratio is 0.65, sell orders are three times buy orders, yet positions are clustered: 65% of retail investors are bullish, and 66% of top accounts are bullish. Positions are crowded, real buying is thin, making it the most vulnerable to liquidity sweeps. ETFs have had net inflows for 11 consecutive weeks, fundamentals are not bad, the problem is the bulls are too full, perhaps only a washout is missing.
$BTC and $ETH spot ETFs are being withdrawn, heat is cooling; the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank minutes are pending release, and ETF flows are also diverging. This is not a clear game now, but a patience contest: those who move first pay first. #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 $CORE The root of the problem has never been the short-term coin price, but the contradiction between the underlying narrative and the token model.
Externally benchmarked against BTC, telling stories of 1981 release, scarcity, and decentralization. But BTC has no pre-mining, and its chips gradually disperse; CORE holds a large amount of chips in the hands of the project team, continuously unlocking and releasing.
The burn data looks good, but the amount burned is far behind the newly unlocked amount, and the circulating supply continues to expand. The promised node targets have failed, nodes keep dropping off, and the so-called decentralization foundation continues to weaken.
Blueprints have been drawn again and again, but ecological landing projects are repeatedly shelved and abandoned, with almost no real on-chain usage demand and no business to support value. When the market is sluggish, new narratives are introduced to stabilize holders; when someone questions the on-chain data, they are directly labeled as smearers.
The constantly refreshed stories cannot cover up the hard problems of concentrated chips, continuous unlocking, and ecological stagnation. Narratives can be repackaged repeatedly, but the flaws in the underlying model are hard to fix with just publicity.
⚠️Risk reminder: The above is only personal opinion sharing. Virtual currencies are not protected by domestic laws, carry extremely high risks, and do not constitute any investment advice. This time, Metaplanet is not simply buying coins, but proving to the market that Bitcoin can also be part of a financing system.
As of September 30, Metaplanet's BTC holdings increased to 44,000. During the quarter, the company first sold 10,000 BTC, then repurchased 11,000, ultimately increasing its net holdings by 1,000 BTC.
On the surface, it seems like just 1,000 more, but what truly deserves attention is the underlying capital operation logic.
Through this transaction, the company demonstrated to the market that even if cash is needed, it can convert part of its BTC holdings into cash and then buy back more BTC.
The conduction path is clear:
BTC asset liquidity validates → strengthens market confidence in company creditworthiness → broadens financing channels → bond/preferred stock financing → secures more capital → continues to increase BTC holdings.
In other words, Metaplanet is trying to transform BTC from a "balance sheet asset" into a financial tool that can help companies continuously raise funds and, in turn, expand their BTC holdings.
This is getting closer and closer to MicroStrategy's logic.
But there is also a risk: if BTC continues to fall in the future, the company's financing costs, stock price performance, and BTC asset value may face reverse pressure, and financing capacity is not unlimited.
Therefore, this news has limited direct impact on BTC buying but clearly reinforces the narrative that "listed companies continue to hoard BTC through financing."
Short-term news is stimulating, moderate🔥 Here comes the key question for ETH this time: Do the main forces still want to wait for retail investors to get on board?
From the trend, this round of ETH's rise is clearly stronger than before, with hardly any decent pullbacks; the price has been pushed steadily upward. Now, approaching the 2740–2760 range, it has reached a point where a choice must be made.
📈 If the bulls can break through 2760 with volume and hold above it, the market is very likely to enter a new acceleration phase. At this point, trying to guess the top is more likely to get slapped by trend reversals.
⚠️ But if the breakout fails, especially if there is a spike followed by a drop and declining volume, then short-term profit-taking should be guarded against. An upward move without sufficient pullback carries the biggest risk that once sentiment weakens, the price retracement speed is often faster than expected.
🧠 One point I agree with is that if the 1500–1700 range earlier indeed completed a long period of chip accumulation, then the current main fund logic is completely different from simply relying on retail investors chasing the rally. In other words, this time it may not be necessary to wait until everyone understands before continuing to push up.
📊 ETFs mostly affect medium- to long-term capital expectations; what really needs to be watched in the short term is price and volume. Currently, ETH is about $2725, already very close to the resistance near 2740.
🔥 No prediction tonight, waiting for the market showdown.
💬 2740–2760, do you think ETH can break through directly? #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 To conclude first, the market looks bullish today, but in reality, funds are being selective in buying. OKB$OKB stands out alone, while BTC$BTC and ETH$ETH barely follow the rise. Overall, it's still a zero-sum game.
BTC$BTC spot ETF resumed inflows after nine consecutive days of outflows, whereas ETH$ETH has seen four consecutive days of outflows, totaling over 100 million. This indicates a clear institutional stance: BTC has institutional base positions and sovereign reserve narratives supporting it, so investors dare to buy the dip. Although ETH rose less than 1% today, it was a passive follow-up driven by market sentiment, with the overall capital flow still weak.
OKB surged more than 4% today, leading the pack. Why are funds willing to buy it? Because platform tokens have hard logic with deflationary burns and ecosystem revenue. When market liquidity contracts and everyone is cautious, funds prefer to cluster around assets with high certainty. SOL dipped slightly as previous profit-taking is still being digested.
The core contradiction now is that macro expectations are improving, but on-exchange funds are not fully entering the market; they are being selective. Funds are withdrawing from high-volatility altcoins and weak-logic mainstream tokens, concentrating on assets with hard logic.
ETH's capital flow is weak; don't rush to bottom-fish just because of a slight rise—beware of further drops. For tokens like OKB with hard logic, it's worth taking a closer look when they pull back. #BTC现货ETF重回流入，ETH资金持续流出 @OKX星球 🔥 ETH might set its direction tonight! A sharp drop or a direct surge, it's just one step away now.
$ETH has currently reached a key resistance zone, with the price repeatedly approaching 2740–2760. If it just spikes up and then gets hammered back, it still belongs to a range-bound oscillation; but if it breaks out with volume and holds steady, the short-term structure will clearly strengthen.
📈 I'm more focused on "how it breaks through" rather than simply guessing the rise or fall. A truly strong breakout requires volume support, and it's best if the price can hold on a pullback after the breakout; otherwise, a big bullish candle shooting up and then quickly falling back is likely just a bull trap.
⚠️ This round of ETH has indeed been relatively strong, with few decent pullbacks. After continuous rallies, chips and profit-taking need to be exchanged again. However, if the long-term accumulation logic around the previous low of 1500–1700 holds, it also means the main force may not need to wait for all retail investors to board before choosing to rally.
🧠 The ETF news itself seems more like a mid-to-long-term capital variable, not necessarily the direct trigger for tonight's market.
What really determines the short-term direction now is whether 2740–2760 can be taken down.
🚀 Follow the breakout, wait if under pressure, don't bet ahead.
💬 Tonight, do you think ETH will break 2760 first, or will there be a waterfall drop first? Let's chat in the comments! #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ "Wait for the price to speak first"
No matter how tempting the candlestick is, don't chase. My checklist only notes five thresholds:
BTC: $86K–$87K
Ξ ETH: $2.8K
⚡ HYPE: $90+
🛡️ ZEC: $1.4K
☀️ SOL: $120+
These are not predictions, but observation points. When reached, watch the reaction: a strong volume hold means buyers are genuine; a spike followed by a drop means selling pressure remains.
If it breaks through and holds, altcoin sentiment might ignite, and funds will spill over from the leaders. If rejected, just keep waiting—patience is also a position.
The challenge is not guessing who breaks first, but whether the breakout can hold. $BTC sets the direction, ETH shows support, HYPE, ZEC, and $SOL test risk appetite. Who hits the line first?👇
#本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 According to the latest information, the recent decline of ZEC (Zcash) is not accidental but the result of multiple factors acting together: large-scale outflows of ETF funds, concentrated whale sell-offs, panic triggered by hacking incidents, and a fundamental trust crisis within the project itself.
📉 Direct triggers: ETF fund outflows and whale sell-offs
· Grayscale ETF faced massive redemptions: The first US Zcash spot ETF (ZCSH) experienced severe capital outflows from late September to early October.
Weekly net outflows reached as high as $93.56 million, with assets under management dropping from a peak of about $979 million to approximately $751 million.
On October 2 alone, another $26.93 million flowed out, turning the ETF from a buyer into a significant potential selling pressure source.
· Concentrated whale sell-offs at high levels: Around September 28, a whale placed limit orders about 2% below market price to quickly sell 15,000 ZEC (nominal value about $23 million), and another address sold 25,001 ZEC after profiting over $27 million.
😨 Sentiment impact: hacking incidents and security concerns
· Bitget hacker funds moved into ZEC privacy pool: Blockchain analysts found that 2,746 ZEC worth about $3.9 million were transferred from a Bitget exchange hacker address into Zcash’s anonymous Shielded Pool. This raised market concerns about privacy coins being used for illicit fund transfers and could affect Wall Street institutional investors’ perceptions.
· North Korean hacker rumors: Market rumors suggest suspected North Korean hackers used the Zcash privacy pool to launder stolen funds, intensifying panic selling.
🏚️ Fundamental trust crisis: historical vulnerabilities and governance turmoil
· "Unlimited printing" vulnerability: Previously, Zcash’s Orchard privacy pool was exposed to a zero-knowledge proof vulnerability that had been dormant for four years, theoretically allowing attackers to "forge unlimited, undetectable ZEC." This severely undermined market trust in the credibility of ZEC’s supply.
· Core development team disbanded: The core development team, Electric Coin Company, disbanded in January, with development activity dropping to its lowest level since 2021. Ongoing governance instability has eroded market confidence in the project’s execution capability.
🏛️ Regulatory and policy updates
· Positive signals: Zcash advocacy group PGPZ has registered lobbying efforts aimed at influencing US digital asset policy to secure legal status for privacy-focused digital cash. Meanwhile, the US SEC concluded its investigation of the Zcash Foundation in January 2026 without enforcement action, reducing regulatory uncertainty.
· Potential risks: The EU AMLR is expected to fully ban privacy coins supported by regulated platforms by July 2027, posing systemic rejection to fully anonymous modes.
🔄 Latest project developments
· NU7 network upgrade: Zcash activated the NU7 upgrade on the testnet on October 4, targeting a mainnet launch on November 5. This will reduce the block interval from 75 seconds to 25 seconds. The upgrade will also disable version 4 transactions; ZEC in the old Sprout shielded pool will become unspendable if not migrated.
---
Summary: The decline of ZEC is directly pressured by the "ETF redemption wave" and "whale sell-offs," compounded by panic from "hacking incidents." Behind this lies a deep trust crisis caused by "historical vulnerabilities" and "team disbandment." Going forward, focus should be on the support strength in the $1,270–$1,300 range and whether the November 5 NU7 mainnet upgrade can bring new narratives to the market. $BTC 87300 still hasn't passed! Is this position welded with a steel plate?
Brothers, BTC has hit 87000 twice within a week. The first time it surged to 87250 and was pushed back, the second time it touched 87300 and slid down again! It's just short of a breath, like hitting a brick wall.
The bulls are directly spitting: This is a test! ETF net inflows have continued for two weeks, and in the first two days of October, another $134 million came in. Institutions are scooping up. Weaker US employment data reduces rate hike pressure, risk appetite improves, so why not break through? Breaking through means 90,000!
The bears sneer coldly: Are you sure this is a test? Whales sold over 30,000 BTC at the 87000 level, taking profits and running. Also, the 10-year US Treasury yield once surged to 5.127%. Holding Treasuries yields 5%, so who would buy a high-volatility asset with no cash flow? Up or down, it's all macro; this market is being led by the nose. #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 Protocol 28 alone: Unlikely to drive a parabolic move. Past Pi protocol upgrades have been technical housekeeping; price response has generally been muted or short-lived. Real catalysts for PI would need broader adoption, usable apps/DeFi traction, major listings, or clear demand-side growth—not just smoother consensus and contract tooling.
$PI $BTC $ETH
#FedSeptemberMinutes
#HormuzStillClosed
#OKXNOW:LiveTomorrow 🔥 My biggest feeling about BTC right now can be summed up in four words: don't jump the gun.
The price is stuck around 86,000, with stories both above and below. Looking up, there is selling pressure near 85,000–85,500; to continue the rally, the selling pressure must first be absorbed. Looking down, although bears have some advantage in expectations, the funding rate is about -0.0013%, which actually indicates that short positions are not easy.
📈 More importantly, the buy-sell transaction ratio has reached 1.44, with active buying still present, meaning the current market is not simply a weak structure.
📉 Therefore, I won't assume a top just because the MACD bars are close to zero, nor will I chase longs immediately just because the price is strong. Indicators are only auxiliary; what really determines action is whether the price itself has completed a breakout or breakdown.
🎯 Currently, I am focusing on 84,372 and 86,995. If the former breaks down, I will first observe the rebound; if the latter breaks out with volume and holds steadily, then I will consider adding positions on the right side.
🛡️ The 84,000–87,000 range, I prefer to treat as the battleground between bulls and bears.
No predictions, no betting on direction; whoever truly takes the key position, follow them.
💬 Finally, a question: do you currently hold long positions, short positions, or choose to stay out and watch? Come to the comments and report your position! #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ 🔥 The most interesting aspect of BTC right now is not the price fluctuations, but that neither the bulls nor the bears have truly won the battle yet.
📊 The price is hovering around 86,000, with spot selling pressure still present in the 85,000–85,500 range above. Meanwhile, the daily MACD momentum has clearly cooled down, meaning further upward movement requires new capital to push it.
But bears shouldn’t celebrate too soon.
⚡ The funding rate is about -0.0013%, so shorts are still paying a premium; the buy-sell volume ratio is 1.44, with active buying maintaining a certain advantage. This indicates the current structure is not a typical "bulls crazily leveraging up" scenario, so shorting just because of high-level oscillation can easily be countered.
🎯 My approach is: if it weakens near 84,372, consider reducing positions and observing; only a volume breakout above 86,995 with a solid hold will be treated as a clearer right-side entry signal.
🧠 In the medium term, we still need to watch whether ETF funds flow back and whether the macro monetary narrative continues to develop.
⚠️ So there’s no need to predict now; 84,000–87,000 is the main battleground.
💰 I’ll follow whichever side breaks; before that, I prefer to trade less rather than recklessly.
💬 Are you currently long, short, or waiting on the sidelines? #本周美联储将公布9月会议纪要 #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 #OKXNOW直播：就在明天，速来预约！ The Strait of Hormuz is still closed, and OPEC+ remains inactive for November, continuing the "supply tightness" logic for oil prices.
The latest situation is straightforward: the shipping volume through the Strait of Hormuz is still struggling at a low level, with daily traffic only a few percent of normal times. The crisis has dragged on for more than seven months. The Iranian parliament speaker clearly stated that the strait will not open unless seven conditions are met. Reports of attacks on oil tankers have not stopped, and insurance fees and risk premiums remain high.
On the OPEC+ side, Saudi Arabia, Russia, and five other countries met on Sunday and decided to keep the November production target at the September level, neither increasing nor decreasing. This is the second consecutive month of production freeze. On the surface, quotas remain unchanged, but in reality, Gulf oil producers are affected by the conflict, with actual output about 5 million barrels per day less than pre-war levels, making the production increase plan impossible to implement.
For trading, this means the "hard constraints" on the supply side remain. Without the reopening of Hormuz, crude oil cannot be transported out; and with OPEC+ unwilling to proactively increase output, the market can only rely on inventories and alternative routes to hold firm. Brent has support above $100, with more obvious pressure on refined oil products.
In the short term, don't expect supply to suddenly ease. Any geopolitical developments will amplify volatility. The focus remains on the progress of US-Iran negotiations and the early November OPEC+ meeting. Any substantial easing signals could become a turning point for prices. #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变 The Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to this day, and OPEC+ decided on Sunday to keep the November production target unchanged. These two pieces of news combined mean that the tight supply balance in the crude oil market is unlikely to change in the short term.
Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is still severely restricted, with daily traffic only about 3% to 9% of the pre-war normal level. The crisis has lasted for more than 210 days. Iran has clearly stated that the strait will not reopen until the seven conditions proposed in the Islamabad memorandum of understanding are met. Recently, there have still been attacks on oil tankers, keeping the war risk premium high.
Meanwhile, the seven core OPEC+ oil-producing countries (Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan, Oman) announced after an online meeting on October 4 that the November production quota will remain at the September level. This is the second consecutive month of pausing the target increase.
Uncertainty on the global crude oil supply side continues to dominate the market. The inability to restore normal passage through the Strait of Hormuz means that export bottlenecks in the Gulf region remain unresolved; OPEC+'s choice to hold steady reflects producers' caution about their actual capacity to increase output.
Brent crude oil is currently still trading above $100, and refined products such as diesel also remain high. Going forward, close attention should be paid to US-Iran diplomatic developments and the next OPEC+ meeting on November 1. The entanglement of energy security and geopolitics is unlikely to ease substantially in the short term. #霍尔木兹仍未开放，OPEC+维持11月产量不变
