CORE was in Korea and had a strong hand, but almost lost it in September.
Let's start with its assets. KODA, Korea's leading compliant custodian, joined CORE early and is the first institution locally to support CORE BTC-Fi, allowing Korean won institutional funds to participate in Bitcoin staking products compliantly. Bithumb and Coinone have also listed on CORE, and Korean won trading is the main battleground for retail investors. Both institutions and retail have established foundations.
The turning point came in early September. A validator reward loophole was exposed, some people overclaimed tokens, and the project team urgently forked the excess tokens, permanently destroying the excess issuance.
The reaction quickly spread: Bithumb and Coinone simultaneously suspended deposits and withdrawals, Korean media and KOLs launched a heated debate, retail investors questioned the security of the contracts, and the price of the coin dropped nearly 20% in a single day.
After the hard fork was completed and deposits and withdrawals resumed, the technical gap was filled, but the confidence pit remained empty—Korean retail investors were recovering very slowly.
Code vulnerabilities can be fixed with hard forks, but trust vulnerabilities do not have a fork key.#ZEC巨鲸3.8万枚空单平仓，亏损超3500万美元
"ZEC Whale Liquidation: Loss Exceeds $35 Million"
Garrett Jin's related whale just fully closed 38,000 ZEC short positions, cutting losses at market price within an hour and a half, resulting in a direct book loss of over $35 million.
The spot market was squeezed to surge straight to $1650, but the key point is that this address still holds 202,000 spot ZEC without moving a single coin.
They would rather cut losses on contracts than sell their base holdings, coinciding with the October 6 testnet upgrade. This veteran privacy coin has fully revealed its trump card in this round of short squeeze. $ZEC UNI, CME plans to launch futures on October 19, which is good news. I went all in with 50x isolated margin long positions.
The opening average price was 10.02, now it's 9.56, with an unrealized loss directly hitting -227%.
A typical case of buying on expectations and selling on facts. Once the news came out, funds used the positive news to sell off, and the price dropped sharply from the high point.
The 15-minute MACD remains below the zero line, indicating that the bearish momentum hasn't completely dissipated.
Current support is at 9.546, resistance at 9.836. To break even, volume must increase and hold above 9.836 to have a chance to reach the cost of 10.02.
In isolated margin mode, the liquidation price is 9.057, so it won't liquidate for now, but 50x leverage has very low tolerance for errors, and a sudden spike could further amplify losses at any time.
Good news does not equal a price increase; the news being realized means it's already priced in. This lesson came at a high cost.

Compared to the half-hour dump "guillotine" style of MUBARAK and RLS before, ALLO advances steadily with very sufficient chip turnover.
In the past, I would have FOMO chased the high or used high leverage, often resulting in being shaken out and liquidated.
But now, having been beaten down, I'm honest and never bet on a one-sided move.
My discipline is simple: small position for trial and error, add only if the pullback doesn't break.
Take partial profits on the rise, decisively admit mistakes if it breaks down.
Don't hold short-term positions until liquidation; use strict rules to protect my downside.Because trading is uncertain, people often fear making emotional trades at inappropriate times, leading to distortions.Institutional target price is 2400, I’m first looking at 2000 $SNDK
On the 22nd, SanDisk surged 6.82%, closing at 1887 USD,
Rosenblatt initiated coverage with a buy rating and a target price of 2400 USD.
But I believe 2400 might be a mid-to-long-term target, short term first aiming at 2000
The main reasons are:
1️⃣ AI is turning NAND from a "cyclical product" into "AI infrastructure"
SanDisk’s data center business is growing rapidly, and the market no longer values it as a traditional storage stock
2️⃣ High gross margin + long-term contracts (NBM) are changing its cyclical nature
Long-term agreements with major clients lock in future capacity and revenue, supply remains tight, as long as NAND prices stay strong, profit elasticity is not yet exhausted
3️⃣ Capital and catalysts are not over yet
Inclusion in the S&P 100 just took effect, and Rosenblatt raised the target price to 2400 USD
So I’m more inclined to:
Hold steady around 1880, first push to 2000
2000 is the first real resistance level,
If it breaks through and holds, the next step is to look at the previous high of 2354, further challenging 2400 USD
But if it falls below 1850, short-term profit-taking may occur;
If 1750 is lost, the market momentum will clearly weaken
Index inclusion is the ignition, institutional 2400 USD is the anchor,
The final factor deciding whether SanDisk can continue to rise is whether AI storage demand and profits can continue to be realized.#闪迪获Rosenblatt买入评级，目标价2400美元 The first time I bought crypto was because a friend encouraged me.
He said to throw in a few hundred bucks to test the waters.
I said I wouldn’t touch it, but inside I was itching.
That night I downloaded an app and registered for a long time.
The verification code never came, and I was so annoyed I wanted to uninstall.
Once inside, the interface was dense and I didn’t understand anything.
My first purchase was $BTC.
After buying, I stared at the screen and even forgot to eat.
When it went up a bit, I smiled foolishly; when it dropped, I cursed.
At 2 a.m., I still didn’t want to sleep.
The next day, I saw it barely moved, and my eyes hurt from tiredness.
Later, I heard $ETH could be used on-chain.
I joined the fun again, but transferring took forever.
The fees made me grimace.
At that time, I joined several groups and watched people shout “rush” every day.
Whenever others shouted, I got itchy hands, afraid to miss out.
Once I made a profit but didn’t sell, wanting to wait longer, and all the gains disappeared.
Another time, it dropped so much I panicked and sold, but then it slowly went back up.
I was so mad I didn’t even finish my instant noodles.
$SOL was tried later with a small position.
It’s really fast, and the crashes are fierce.
In minutes, it can make you smile or shut you up.
I’ve seen people show off profits and others lose so much they deleted the app.
Gradually, I stopped watching groups and stopped believing in guaranteed profits.
I only play with spare money, don’t borrow, and don’t go all in.
I don’t touch projects I don’t understand, even if they’re free.
I sleep when I should at night; if I miss out, I miss out.
Don’t get cocky when you win, don’t get obsessed when you lose.
Being able to keep going is more important than how much you make in one trade.
This is my most honest feeling after years of messing around. #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？
#财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布
#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？ Brothers, I just came across some pretty interesting on-chain data, so let me quickly share it with you.
There’s a whale who previously held heavy positions in Robinhood Meme and DeFi leaders. This afternoon from 14:21 to 15:17, over the course of an hour, he completely cleared out all his $PONS!
That’s 5,338,000 tokens, sold at an average price of 0.6779, cashing out $3.67 million. As you can see, the coin price was slammed down hard by 4%, dropping from 0.6968 to 0.6688.
What’s most frustrating for sentiment? This guy’s average entry price was 0.7154, so this liquidation not only didn’t make a profit but actually lost about $200,000! PONS used to be the largest asset in his wallet, so this was basically a tearful fire sale, cutting losses and exiting.
Even whales run when they lose money. Is there some news we don’t know about, or is he just switching positions to chase another hot spot? Normally, such big players shouldn’t lack patience like this.🚨 US-Iran Talks: Real Progress or Just Noise ؟
3 hours of Qatari-mediated talks ended with zero real concessions. Iran wants the blockade lifted to open Hormuz; Washington made no promises.

FIXING A HOLE: Bitcoin ETFs' YTD flows are now positive after a $4.6b tsunami of cash came in over the past month ever since Bessent said it would increase bond buying which reminded everyone that the train has no brake pedal, only gas.Which mistake do you make more easily: taking profits too early or holding losses for too long?
Taking profits too early. And I think this flaw is more harmful than holding losses.
At least when you hold losses, you know you were wrong. It’s painful, but the lesson is real. Taking profits too early is different; it makes you earn money but still feel frustrated. You clearly got the direction right, took profits after a 15% rise in two days, but then it tripled afterward. That feeling is more suffocating than losing money because you weren’t wrong—you just didn’t hold on.
My most typical case was last year with a coin I researched for a long time before entering. It rose 20%, and I sold, thinking to secure the profit. But it kept rising afterward, to the point I doubted my life choices. I watched it every day, getting angrier and angrier, until I couldn’t resist chasing it at a high price and then got stuck.
Holding losses at worst makes you lose money; taking profits too early unbalances your mindset and leads to even dumber moves.
So now I’ve made a rule: before entering, decide if it’s a short-term or long-term trade. For short-term, follow the short-term plan—take profits and don’t regret it. For long-term, I don’t check my account until the target is reached to avoid temptation.
To put it simply, only those who can hold on deserve to make big money; those who take profits early will always be left with crumbs.
Which mistake do you make more often? Let’s chat in the comments.👇#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 #闪迪获Rosenblatt买入评级，目标价2400美元
SanDisk $SNDK surged mainly because Rosenblatt Securities initiated coverage with a buy rating and a $2400 target price. AI has upgraded NAND flash from a regular storage product to a key component of AI infrastructure, changing the demand structure. SanDisk's technological and long-term contract advantages are clear.
Additionally, it was recently included in the S&P 100 index, prompting passive funds to allocate to it, which also provided support. The entire storage sector rose accordingly, with peers like Micron and Western Digital also performing well.
In the short term, SanDisk still has upside potential.
Analysts' average target price ranges from about $2100 to $2250, while Rosenblatt's $2400 target is more aggressive, emphasizing that AI has transformed NAND from ordinary storage into a core component of AI infrastructure.
In the long term, the key points are: whether AI inference demand for high-density storage can be sustained, and whether the industry will repeat past cycles of overcapacity. Management has signed many long-term contracts, locking in some capacity, so the cyclical nature is indeed weaker than before, but market expectations are already high and valuations are not cheap. The next earnings report is in early November; if results and guidance continue to exceed expectations, momentum can be maintained; if supply loosens, the risk of a pullback is also significant.$BTC is selling off as the US market prepares to open.
Bitcoin has closed higher in every US trading session over the last five sessions. Let's see how it unfolds today.
If we see further declines, I will look to increase my participation and buy more aggressively at lower levels.
Pre-market stock trading information:
▫️Nasdaq futures down 0.32% 🔴
▫️S&P futures down 0.14% 🔴$BTC BTC 87,000, $ETH 2800, is this the top or a deep correction?
Currently, both BTC and ETH have tested the first support level. The leverage accumulated during the previous rise is rapidly releasing, and this looks more like a reshuffling of high-level chips plus contract deleveraging.
Additionally, about $18.1 billion worth of BTC and ETH options expire on Friday, so short-term volatility is expected to remain high.
But the key point is: spot funds have not fully withdrawn in sync. BTC ETFs still recorded a net inflow of about $999 million in a single day previously, so it cannot yet be simply defined as a full institutional sell-off.
Hippo is focusing on these key levels in the short term:
BTC
85K is the current first line of defense.
If 85K holds, focus on the strength of support. If it cannot break below and stabilizes, short-term low-entry long opportunities can be gradually sought;
If it breaks below 85K with volume, then follow the bearish trend, first targeting around 83K.
ETH
2700 is the current critical threshold.
If it breaks below 2700, short-term bearish trend can be followed, with the first target at 2675, further down to 2620;
If 2700 holds and stabilizes, then watch for low-level reversal long opportunities.
Core operation: Do not chase shorts now, nor rush to bottom-fish.
If the first support shows volume contraction with a stop in decline + spot support + continued contract deleveraging, a quick recovery is likely; otherwise, if support breaks with volume, wait for the next support level.
In short: leverage is retreating, spot support is the key.ZEC's spike to 1680 today directly surpassed 1654, this surge is quite strong.
Yesterday's low was 1444, high was 1561, closing at 1544. Today opened around 1543, reached a high of 1680, low of 1496, current price about 1625. Volume ratio expanded compared to yesterday, after the upward surge it is still hovering at a high level.
The 1680 level above is the new resistance; the space above hasn't opened yet. If it breaks below 1496, it’s likely to see 1444 first; if that level can't hold either, the short term may look for space around 1426.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 1625 can hold. If it can't hold, treat the surge as a digestion phase, don't chase at this price now. For those already holding, watch if the low of 1496 today can support; if not, consider reducing positions; for those looking to buy, wait for a pullback—consider buying only if it can't break through 1680, don't catch a falling knife mid-air. $ZEC Currently, the three major mainstream coins have shifted from weak recovery to short covering.
With ETH funds flowing back, what needs more caution now
is not an immediate major correction but the market misreading the short squeeze as a new trend.
$BTC: Reclaimed the long-term moving average, the strongest structure repair in nearly 300 days.
Supports at 85,200, 84,000, 83,000.
Resistances at 86,800, 87,400, 88,000-90,000.
The original dense short zone from 83,000 to 86,000 has turned into short-term support.
Medium-term bias is bullish, but the current price is better suited for waiting for a pullback rather than chasing highs.
$ETH: On-chain and institutional funds continue accumulating.
Supports at 2,700, 2,640-2,560.
Resistances at 2,800, 2,890, 3,000.
2,700 is a key boundary; if held, 2,800-3,000 can still be tested.
If broken, look for support around 2,640.
$SOL: ETF inflows present, contract positions proportionally high.
Supports at 114, 110-107; resistances at 120, 123-125.
Maintains strength above; if broken, beware of pullback.
Leverage heating up faster than spot demand.
Crypto total market cap returns to 3 trillion, the bull market is very likely back #BTC冲高$87000，加密总市值重返3万亿 #美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？ #财报观察员：好市多Q4财报即将公布 $ETH's recent pullback is not following the broader market's risk-off move; it has its own issues — spot ETFs saw a net outflow of over $140 million in one week, combined with security vulnerabilities exposed in re-staking tokens like rsETH, causing institutions to regain caution about Ethereum ecosystem custody and smart contract risks. This is more troublesome than a simple "profit-taking".
On-chain data shows whales are concentrating their sell-offs in the $2650-$2700 range, with the current price at $2711.68 stuck in this selling pressure zone — RSI6 has dropped to 18.41, indicating severe oversold conditions, but oversold levels can't suppress real sell orders. Whether the rebound can hold is another matter.
If similar security incidents like those involving rsETH continue to emerge, do you think ETF funds will accelerate outflows, turning this pullback from a "technical profit-taking" into a "trust issue"?Rosenblatt's Buy initiation on Sandisk frames the move less as an index event and more as a storage-cycle question. If AI workloads keep demanding NAND capacity alongside durability and reliable supply, the market may reward execution over headline exposure.
Micron's upcoming earnings should help test whether that read is broadening across the sector.
#Sandisk2400Target 🚀 Bitcoin’s market cap has grown by +36.0% since August 18, dramatically separating from the S&P 500’s +0.8% and gold’s -1.5% performances in that same time. The breakout began as smaller 0.1-10 BTC holders capitulated in mid-August. 💧 Liquidity helped flip the trend. Treasury doubled the size of long-duration bond buybacks beginning in September, ETF demand returned, and repeated short squeezes forced bearish traders to buy back positions as BTC broke resistance. 📊 This five-week divergence #NasdaqHitsRecordHigh The Nasdaq keeps making records, but the rally is getting more interesting 👀
Micron jumped ~5% and Sandisk nearly 7%, helping tech push higher while the Dow fell.
What caught my attention is this is happening despite elevated Treasury yields and renewed Fed hike risk.
AI is still powerful enough to overpower the macro headwind, but breadth is the real test.

AMD computers have started shipping, equipped with Nvidia Vera Rubin NVL72.
What I did: I rushed into the computing power concept after seeing the news, only to buy at the peak.
The data looks like this: this machine is a rack-level system, which has nothing to do with the small coins I bought.
The lesson here: newcomers are most likely to mistake big company news for their own benefit.
The computing power is really running, but the money really hasn't entered my pocket.

1.6584 above is still resistance. If 1.5471 below breaks again, it’s likely to first revisit the 1.5716 opening level, only then might it aggressively test yesterday's 1.4801.
In the short term, watch if 1.565 can hold. If it can't hold, consider it a pullback after a rally, don't chase at this price now.

#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？ Reviewing my own trading records, I keep hitting a wall between "fear of profit giving back" and "unwillingness to admit mistakes"
I used to recklessly play with altcoins and always got liquidated, now I only focus on BTC and ETH
Luck is indeed part of skill, but without discipline as a safety net, profits made by luck will eventually be lost by skill
Taking profits too early is because I'm afraid of losing BTC and ETH's unrealized gains, holding losses for too long is because I can't admit mistakes, stubbornly turning short-term trades into liquidations.
To correct this, I must strictly follow three iron rules: First, write down invalidation conditions before trading; if the trend doesn't meet expectations, decisively cut losses
Second, once there is unrealized profit, immediately move the stop loss to the cost line; never let winning BTC and ETH trades turn into losing ones
Third, strictly manage position size, keep leverage within 10x, test with small positions, and add more only after confirmation
Stop complaining about bad luck; first judge right or wrong according to the plan, let stop loss and position size manage my emotions
Treat every order as a probability game, use iron rules to protect the bottom line, so when luck comes next time, I truly have the strength to catch it!

The Fed just raised rates to 3.75%–4.00%, and officials collectively turned hawkish again: Musalem said "possibly more hikes," Barkin said "inflation risks outweigh unemployment," Collins directly sided with "one more hike before year-end." The dot plot also raised the median for the end of 2026 to 4.1% — translation: very likely another 25bp hike this year, very likely no cuts in 2027, rate cuts pushed to 2028/2029.
For the crypto space, this is the real news:
• USD and US Treasury yields remain high → risk asset denominators continue to be pressured
• BTC/ETH aren’t not falling, they are "pricing in bad news early" and then playing dead, rebound potential is locked down by macro
• Altcoins, MEME, and meme coins will still drain liquidity, but high leverage will be easily washed out
• The market’s biggest fear isn’t "one hike," it’s the phrase "high rates for a long time"
My judgment:
👉 October looks at data (core PCE, oil prices, nonfarm payrolls), either hike or no hike is normal
👉 Another hike in December is the baseline scenario
👉 The real pivot to easing requires: inflation clearly returning near 2%, or economic/employment trouble
👉 Until then, don’t mistake "resilience" for a bull market, don’t mistake "hawkish pause" for good news
Old crypto saying revisited: Without the Fed turning, liquidity won’t flood, and BTC will struggle to run wild.
Now is not the bottom-fishing moment, it’s the position management moment. $ETH current price is 2710, long position floating profit is 40 points, don't rush to celebrate yet
The profit figure isn't exaggerated, but it's enough to make one itchy-handed: run, afraid of missing the sell; add, afraid of pullback; do nothing, the account's every jump is tempting.
These 40 points, the market isn't giving me a certificate of merit, just preliminarily confirming: the direction I took earlier hasn't been falsified for now.
Many people focus on the take-profit line, but I care more about two things: whether the position is heavy and whether the liquidation point is far. ETH's volatility is never gentle; a sharp spike can sweep out leveraged positions. Being right in judgment doesn't mean you can hold until the moment the judgment is realized. Survive first, then talk about profit.
Looking at a longer cycle, ETH's narrative hasn't stopped: ETF channels, staking yields, L2 ecosystem, upgrade expectations, plus once macro liquidity eases, risk assets will be repriced. BTC stabilizes the market, only then does ETH have room to show its own elasticity. These are not guarantees, just reasons it hasn't been forgotten by the market.
Floating profit tests people the most. A little pullback makes you want to run, a little rise makes you want to add, a long sideways makes you doubt the logic. But the market often doesn't die from wrong direction, but from hands moving too fast. 40 points can protect, can push stop-loss, can reduce leverage, but don't let it turn from floating profit into "I once made money."
The real threshold for $ETH bulls is not the entry price, but being able to stay seated after floating profit. The market gives profit to qualify you to continue sitting, not to urge you to get off early.#200 Yuan Challenge to 1 Million Phase 2 · Day 7
Today a small loss on the account: total assets 93.88, today -4.30 (-4.38%). The numbers don’t look good, but what I want to say is that today was the most disciplined day since my transformation.
Three trades, all public:
$ALLO short: +2.09 (+19.89%). This is my most satisfying trade so far—I entered at a low point yesterday, and today I successfully took profit, a 19.89% return, which is solid with 2x leverage.
$AKE short: -0.68 (-6.37%). This old rival AKE crossed my path again; this time I misjudged and stopped out at a 6.37% loss. The loss was small because the leverage was low.
$MUBARAK long: -2.55 (-18.97%). This was the worst loss; the stop loss was triggered. But please note—it was a "stop loss trigger," not me holding until liquidation. This is the difference I’ve learned from paying my tuition over the past half month.
Putting the three trades together: one profit, two losses, net loss 4.30.
What would I have done before with an 18.97% loss? I would have added positions, held on, and comforted myself with "it will come back sooner or later." Today, my stop loss orders are set, and when the price hits, the system automatically exits me—I don’t even give myself a chance to hesitate.
Honestly, I can accept this kind of small loss better today. Why? Because it’s "controllable." I clearly know the maximum loss per trade and the maximum total loss—this feeling is completely different from Phase 1 when I didn’t know how much money would be left tomorrow.
Restarted from 10 dollars, three days of trading: 105.74 → 93.88. Slow, but every step is under my control. This is the pace I want.
Let’s chat in the comments: when your stop loss is triggered, do you really follow the discipline, or do you secretly move the stop loss? Honestly, I want to see how many people have made the same mistake as me 🤝

At this point, the last three were more than twice as deep and weeks from their lows.
This one is 30% below its high and rising.
A late drop to their depth looks less likely by the week.The most unusual detail in today's market is not in the list of biggest declines itself, but in the funding rates: $ONE plunged 18.71% in 24 hours, yet its funding rate dropped to -1.0457%, meaning short positions pay fees and longs receive money. Meanwhile, $RENDER, which also weakened during the same period, still has a positive funding rate of +0.0050%. Both are weak assets, but one is squeezed to an extremely negative funding rate by shorts, while the other maintains a neutral to slightly bullish rate. This structural difference indicates that $ONE's decline is driven more by passive long liquidations and short chasing rather than pure spot selling pressure.
A horizontal comparison is clearer: $RENDER's current price is 1.771, with MA5 < MA20, RSI at 36.5, MACD bearish, and a 30-candle amplitude of only 6.55%, indicating a mild downtrend; $PROMPT, on the other hand, rose 9.85% against the trend, with MA5 crossing above MA20, RSI at 55.9, MACD bullish, making it the only strong asset in the sector. $ONE's amplitude is as high as 43.63%, RSI at 38.4 close to oversold, MACD histogram turned positive at +2.061e-05, and price at 0.003015 near the lower Bollinger Band at 0.00290778, signaling a momentum divergence after a sharp drop. In a greed environment with a fear and greed index of 71, this extreme negative funding rate combined with oversold conditions often fuels short covering.
The directional bias is bullish, based on the logic of negative funding rate forcing shorts to cover + MACD bullish divergence + support at the lower Bollinger Band. BTC has surged to 87,000, and the market is starting to shout "3 trillion is back."
But what about ETH? It's still hovering around 2,740. The heat is on—has the capital really rotated to the second coin?
I am a student working part-time to support myself. Every time I check my ETH position card, I’m not just watching the unrealized gains or losses, but also this month’s meal money, commuting expenses, and next month’s plans.
Hold steady above 2,700, watch if 2,750 can gain volume and follow through;
If it falls below 2,700, first look at 2,670, and if that breaks, tighten risk—don’t gamble with living expenses on emotions.
Real positions, costs, and P&L are based on the attached ETH position card; no numbers are fabricated in the main text.
Is ETH waiting for a catch-up rally, or has it already been left behind by BTC in this round of the market?

$ETH #ETH行情 #BTC冲高87000$Do you know what's the funniest thing?
I wake up, open X, and see $BTC has dropped 2% from the high, and suddenly everyone is expecting a sharp correction.
This is exactly why so many people don't make money in a bull market. Eleven months of bear market price action have conditioned people to expect every rise to be fully retraced. Now that the trend has shifted, we've broken through and made a new weekly high, and the first hint of red makes people panic again.
That kind of mindset will keep exposing people's weaknesses.
We are going to surge significantly, with or without you.
In a bull market, pullbacks are shallow. The first meaningful correction I see is more likely to come from 90k rather than 87k.
We just broke out, made a 7% daily green candle, and the first reaction is "let me short"?#美伊3小时会谈释放积极信号？ Positive Signals from the 3-Hour US-Iran Talks: What Truly Impacts the Market Is Whether the "De-escalation" Can Be Formalized in an Agreement
A new diplomatic window has suddenly opened in US-Iran relations. Trump stated that US officials held about a 3-hour meeting with Iranian representatives and described the communication as "very good"; he later said that negotiations are still ongoing and expressed optimism about reaching a final agreement.
However, the market should not yet interpret this as the end of the conflict. Iran still demands that the US ease military pressure, lift the port blockade, and has proposed reopening the Strait of Hormuz after conditions are met; significant differences remain on core issues such as the nuclear question.
For the crypto market, the logic is straightforward: if negotiations progress, geopolitical risk premiums decline → oil price pressure eases → inflation concerns decrease → risk asset valuation environment improves. Conversely, if talks break down again, oil prices and safe-haven trades may heat up once more.
Therefore, what traders should really focus on is not the "3-hour meeting" itself, but whether there will be a ceasefire next, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and substantive progress toward a formal agreement.The first time I bought crypto was because a friend encouraged me.
He said, "Throw in a few hundred bucks to test the waters."
I said I wouldn’t touch it, but inside I was itching.
That night I downloaded an app and spent a long time registering.
The verification code never came, and I was so annoyed I almost uninstalled it.
Once inside, the interface was so cluttered I didn’t understand a thing.
My first purchase was $BTC. After buying, I stared at the screen.
If it went up a bit, I smiled foolishly; if it dropped, I cursed.
At 2 a.m., I still couldn’t bear to sleep.
The next day, I saw it barely moved, and my eyes hurt from tiredness.
Later, I tried $ETH because I heard you could play on the chain.
But transferring took forever, and the fees were expensive.
Back then, I joined several groups and watched people shout “go!” every day.
Whenever others shouted, I got itchy hands, afraid to miss out.
Once I made a profit but didn’t sell, wanting to wait longer, and ended up losing it all.
Another time, I panicked when it dropped, sold, and then it slowly climbed back up.
That feeling was really frustrating; I couldn’t even eat.
$SOL was a small position I tried later. It’s really fast and volatile.
In minutes, it can make you smile or shut you up.
I’ve seen people show off profits and others lose so much they delete the app.
Gradually, I stopped watching groups and stopped believing in guaranteed profits.
I only play with spare money, don’t borrow, and never go all in.
I avoid projects I don’t understand, even if they’re free.
I sleep when I should at night; if I miss out, I miss out.
Don’t get cocky when you win, don’t get obsessed when you lose.
Being able to keep going is more important than how much you make in one trade.

#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？ Why crypto is pumping
The hike was already priced in, so the sell-off happened ahead of the print.
Shorts got squeezed, oil cooled off, and altcoins led the move — especially ZEC, HYPE, and DeFi.
This doesn’t look like fresh liquidity entering the market. Rates actually moved higher, while ETFs are still seeing outflows.
$80K BTC remains the key level.
For now, this looks more like a relief rally than a regime change."Three-Dimensional Trading System | BTC Latest Evening Market Update (3/3): Structural Patterns and Core Judgments" — BTC price requires a healthy correction, with a 60% probability of a sharp pullback!
Second, ETFs continue to see large inflows, totaling about $2.3 billion over four days, representing the clearest current buying force. Whales stopped increasing holdings in September, and spot demand has yet to turn positive. ETF buying versus whales not buying indicates a structural divergence that warrants caution.
Third, the derivatives long-short ratio leans bearish, with short positions still being established, contrasting the surface phenomenon of "shorts being liquidated."
Core judgment: The structure for a full bull market launch remains intact, but there is a short-term need for a downward correction. 84,500 is the short-term watershed; holding above it means consolidation and accumulation, breaking below tests the liquidation cluster near 82K.
ETF inflows are the only core support; once ETF funds turn to outflows, a downward correction is inevitable.
Through multidimensional analysis and judgment, the probability of a subsequent Bitcoin price decline and correction is 60%. First target price on the downside is 84,500, second target near 83,500, with an extreme correction level above 80K, which would liquidate about $1.762 billion in long positions before rebounding.
Every correction is a buying opportunity; patiently wait for Bitcoin price to pull back to 83.5K!The Fed just delivered another 25bp hike, yet risk assets are refusing to behave like the textbook script. The Nasdaq has pushed to a fresh record, while $BTC remains above $86K after reaching roughly $87K. So what changed? 🛢️ Energy pressure is easing.

What he's saying this time is quite interesting. Previously, it was believed that BTC follows a four-year cycle, with a bull run followed by a major bear market, dropping 50%, 60%, or even more $BTC $ETH
But this time it really seems different. The previous three bear markets had severe drops, but this time it hasn't even reached half of that yet, and quite a bit of time has already passed.
Now many people are waiting every day for that "final drop," but week after week passes, and BTC just doesn't follow the script.
Could it be that this time the four-year cycle script is really broken? What if everyone is waiting for a crash, but it simply doesn't happen?Forward融资2500万美元增持SOL，利好和稀释风险要一起看！ Forward Industries今天宣布，计划以每股8美元发行312.5万股新股，融资约2500万美元，扣除费用后主要用于继续购买SOL，预计9月24日完成。([turn0search1])
这条消息对SOL本身偏正面，因为市场又多了一个明确的机构买盘预期；但对FWDI股东来说，“增持SOL”和“发行新股”是同时发生的两件事。
所以我不会简单把它定义成利好。
利好的一面：
公司现在已经持有约816万枚SOL及SOL等价资产，继续融资买SOL，相当于不断扩大SOL Treasury。如果SOL上涨，公司资产规模和市场关注度都会进一步提升。([turn0news0])
风险的一面：
这次直接新增312.5万股，原股东的持股比例会被摊薄。更重要的是，如果新增股份增长速度超过SOL持仓增长速度，SOL per share反而可能下降。
所以真正应该盯的指标不是“Forward又买了多少钱的SOL”，而是：
SOL持仓增长率 vs 流通股增长率。

ETF capital inflow is currently the clearest buying force. On September 21, the single-day net inflow was $998.9 million, a new high for the year;
On September 22, inflows continued with $714.7 million, marking the fourth consecutive day of net inflows.
Whale behavior showed significant changes in September.
In August, mid-sized whales holding 100-1,000 BTC increased their holdings by about 73,300 BTC, while ultra-large whales holding over 10,000 BTC increased by about 43,300 BTC.
By September, Glassnode's accumulation trend score dropped close to zero, indicating that large entities overall shifted to asset allocation or ceased meaningful accumulation. Whales changed from "buyers" in August to "non-buyers" in September.
Spot demand has yet to turn positive.
The 30-day cumulative spot demand remains at -180,000 BTC, still in negative territory. Prices are rising, but total demand has not turned positive, indicating the rise is driven more by "reduced selling pressure" rather than sustained "buying strength."
Exchange capital flow: overall net outflow in September, leaning towards accumulation.
Trading platforms mainly saw net outflows throughout September, with Bitcoin continuously leaving exchanges, which usually means lighter short-term selling pressure, favoring accumulation over distribution.
On-chain assessment: continuous large ETF inflows provide short-term support, but whales stopped accumulating in September, and spot demand remains negative. There is a divergence in the on-chain structure of "ETF buying, whales not buying," leaving the market structure still fragile.A strong rally doesn’t mean every dip should be bought.

Someone said they earned half a month's salary in a day.
I was tempted listening to that, and immediately downloaded an app.
I spent a long time registering, but the verification code never arrived.
Eventually, I got in; the interface was flashy and confusing, I didn't understand anything.
I first deposited a little money, my palms were sweaty.
I bought $BTC, and after buying, I just stared at the screen in a daze.
I was happy when it rose a few dollars, annoyed when it dropped a few.
At night, lying in bed, I was still checking the market, barely slept well.
The next day, it basically didn't move, but I was exhausted like a dog.
Later, I heard people say $ETH could be used on-chain, so I joined the fun.
Transferring funds took a long time, and the fees made me grimace.
During that period, I joined several groups, watching people shout "go!" every day.
Whenever others shouted, I got itchy hands, afraid of missing out, often buying at the peak.
Once I made a profit but didn't sell, wanting to be greedier, and lost all the gains.
Another time, I panicked when it dropped, sold it, and then it slowly rose back.
I was so angry that day I couldn't eat well.
$SOL was a later small position trial; it’s really fast, and when it crashes, it’s brutal.
It can make people smile in minutes, or shut them up in minutes.
I saw people showing profits, and others losing so much they deleted the app.
Gradually, I stopped watching groups and stopped believing in guaranteed profits.
I only play with spare money, never borrow, never go all in.
If I don’t understand a project, I won’t touch it even if it’s free.
I sleep when I should at night; if I miss out, I miss out.

#美联储官员密集发声，加息还要持续多久？ BTC holds steady near 86,000, but BCH surges nearly 30%. Where is the capital flowing?
There is a very obvious change in the market today: BTC has returned above $86,000, but the real standout is BCH.
Currently, BTC maintains strong consolidation overall, while BCH's intraday increase is close to 30%, clearly outperforming mainstream coins like BTC and ETH. OKX Planet has also seen a lot of discussions today around BCH's unusual movements.
My understanding is that market funds are rotating to some extent.
BTC is responsible for stabilizing the overall market. When BTC does not show obvious weakness, capital is more likely to seek directions with greater elasticity. This time, BCH is also boosted by CME-related futures news, so short-term capital attention has clearly increased.
Structurally, I am still bullish on BCH.
Next, focus on the area around $350. If it can hold around this level and expand volume upward again, I will continue to watch the $360 area and the situation of breaking previous highs; if it falls back into the breakout zone and continues to weaken, I will reassess the short-term direction.
In today's market, I will not only focus on BTC—whether BTC can remain stable + whether BCH can continue to outperform the market are the two signals I am paying attention to tonight.

Personal market observation, not investment advice.SEC文件披露PowerCompute持有323枚BTC，这家公司真正的看点已经不只是“囤币”！ PowerCompute最新披露，截至8月31日持有323枚BTC，按照当时约7.8万美元计算，价值约2520万美元。更关键的是，其中307枚BTC已经作为贷款抵押品，真正没有抵押的只有16枚。
所以这条消息我不会简单理解成“又一家上市公司囤BTC”。
个人判断，PowerCompute现在真正值得看的，是它正在形成“BTC矿企+电力资源+AI算力”的三重逻辑。
公司目前拥有约26MW自有电力基础设施，同时正在升级矿机，预计总算力从771 PH/s提升到约862 PH/s。更重要的是，公司已经开始向HPC和AI基础设施转型。
这就出现一个很有意思的估值变化：
以前市场给矿企估值，主要看BTC价格、挖矿成本和算力规模；以后如果AI算力业务真正落地，市场还会开始看电力资源、数据中心能力、GPU算力收入和AI长期订单。
但风险同样不能忽略：307枚BTC被抵押意味着BTC下跌可能增加融资压力，而AI业务目前仍处于扩张阶段。
所以我更关注的不是“323枚BTC值多少钱”，而是两个验证：
BTC资产💰 As #BTC has touched $86k, long leverage is slowly rebuilding in the options market.
Open Interest put/call ratios are moving up.
However, this still remains far from the frothy levels we saw near the BTC top.
Perp speculation also remains muted with funding below neutral.Options now make up almost half of Bitcoin’s crypto-native derivatives market, up from a quarter, after dated futures faded and perpetual futures took over the leveragePONS wants to go long, but I'm a bit hesitant, even considering shorting it this afternoon.
Just checked $PONS data:
Protocol fees in the last 24 hours: $3.6 million
Protocol revenue in the last 24 hours: $490,000
Overall revenue and buybacks are only one-third of the peak period.
Yesterday, only 9,500 new tokens were issued, peak was 36,000 tokens, just a quarter of the peak; observing the last two days, basically only one token per hour is fully transferred from the internal market to the external market.
Most importantly, and most directly, see the chart below: the revenue-to-market cap multiple has surged from just over 1x to 3.2x, while $PUMP is only at 4.3x. Although I often criticize PUMP, it has been tested many times. Maybe now PONS is starting to face its own test.
Why did I ultimately hold back and not short?
Going long or short is a bit like being in love: when I'm long, I have countless imaginations about her, loving her to death, feeling like she's the best in the world; but when I'm short, it feels like I no longer love her and even feel harsh. This feeling of loving and hating back and forth will torment you repeatedly.
So to avoid this torment: either love her and go long; or hate her and go short. Don't love and hate alternately, because in the end, the one who gets hurt is your own fragile heart.
