Non-farm night, the wind direction changed suddenly. I stared at the screen, the market expected 90,000, but only 29,000 came; the previous value was revised down to 133,000, and July flipped from +21,000 to -10,000. Two months down by 60,000, unemployment rate at 4.2%. This is not cooling down, it's a stall warning. October action bets, a week ago still at 70%, before the data dropped to 25%; after the data, the probability of holding steady soared to 85%. The Fed temporarily puts away the knife. Crypto instantly ignited: BTC touched 87,000, ETH rose above 2,750; 24-hour ETH up 2.82%, BTC up over 2%. But the off-market is even more critical. Bitcoin ETF's nine consecutive inflows ended, $3.1 billion retreated before non-farm; ETF outflows, but coin price rose — funds are betting on easing. ETH staking queue at 1.68 million coins, withdrawals only 154,000, about 11:1. BitMine holds 6 million coins, accounting for 4.9% of supply, of which 5.06 million are staked, annualized $358 million. Weak data, pause in tightening, staking lock-up, institutional accumulation, resonating on the same night. Strategy: BTC: 87,000 resistance, no chase; pull back to 84,500 to confirm, hold above 85,000 target 89,000-90,000. ETH: 2,750 resistance, 2,700 support; 2,600-2,650 whale cost. Hold long above 2,700, reduce position if below 2,600. $BTC #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% NEAR Intents attacker has returned $3.8 million of stolen funds, including about 34.59 bitcoins worth $2.95 million returned to the designated address. On-chain whales actively eliminated exposure, which does not directly negatively impact the NEAR mainnet and token, but such repayments will not bring new buying pressure to SAND. SAND current price is 0.07729, price remains above the EMA lifeline, the bullish structure is intact. The issue lies in the liquidation map, with dense bullish liquidation pools accumulated between 0.071 and 0.075 below, active sell volume clearly outweighs buy volume, and the deviation rate is too large. Continuing to chase longs at this position is too risky. Just turned the electric bike onto the side road waiting at the red light; such divergence on the chart generally won't be digested by sideways movement alone. Operationally, give up chasing highs, wait for a sharp drop with a wick to sweep liquidity below. Entry range is set between 0.0715 and 0.0730, stop loss at 0.0694, take profit first targets 0.0795, and if broken through, then look near 0.0820. Do not catch if there is no wick; if the chart does not provide a position, do not force it. $SNDK #财报观察员:美光上调指引,存储需求继续走强 @OKX星球 The original believer $LAB fled at the last moment 😰 Looking at it today, he still ran fast enough Otherwise, the outcome would have been 60,000 turning into 6,000 😂 Why did this happen?

The Nov. 22 gala invites the top 185 leaderboard holders; top 29 get VIP access, top 4 get 18K gold watches. Meanwhile, TRUMP trades near $2.09, still 97.5% below its ATH, with ~$319M OKX turnover today. Crypto gamification just became literal"Watch BTC Tonight, Just Two Numbers Are Enough" Tonight, watch $BTC, no need to monitor a bunch of indicators, just two numbers are enough. First, 86,800. If it breaks through and holds here, it means the bulls have regained short-term control. Next, watch 88,200—89,500. Second, 83,600. If it can't hold here, the short-term structure will continue to be under pressure. Below, watch 82,800—82,000. Currently, $BTC is fluctuating around 84,700, the real direction still needs confirmation. Volume hasn't picked up, both bulls and bears are waiting. So don't rush, when the key level is reached, the market will naturally give the answer. The simpler you watch, the less likely you are to get confused. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #波动雷达:币种异动观察 $ZEC This wave of ZEC really messed me up. Originally planned to exit at 1450, didn’t leave even when it reached 1470, and stubbornly held the stop loss at 1350, getting more and more tortured. Looking back, the problem wasn’t how much ZEC fell, but that I didn’t follow the trading discipline I set for myself. Looking at the broader market, BTC rebounded to around 86000 yesterday, now falling back to 84500, with a retracement far less dramatic than ZEC’s. As long as the key support holds, I still consider BTC to be in a range-bound consolidation, not a complete trend breakdown. ETH’s experience is much smoother, oscillating between 2600 and 2800, with quick rebounds after pullbacks. Although the ETH/BTC rate is relatively weak, its long positions are much easier to recover compared to highly volatile tokens like ZEC. In summary: use BTC to set the overall direction and wait for ETH to rebound. For highly volatile coins like ZEC, stop losses must be strictly enforced. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张,G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 The future competition among exchanges may not only be about fees and liquidity, but also about "how much compensation is paid when something goes wrong." Recently, I saw a very practical security feature: after updating the OKX APP to the latest version, you can enable a protection mechanism similar to "Peace of Mind Shield" on the asset page. Eligible security incidents can receive compensation up to 100,000 / 250,000 / 500,000 U. Setting aside the specific feature itself, the industry trend behind this is even more worth noting. In the past, the core competition among exchanges was usually: Fees, liquidity, number of coins, promotions. Now, another dimension is emerging: Security protection. The platform’s willingness to put real money on the line to cover security risks essentially demonstrates its risk control capabilities to users. But it’s important to note: Compensation is a safety net, not an exemption from responsibility. Such protections usually have limits, conditions, and applicable scopes. Especially when it comes to users’ own security mistakes, such as clicking phishing links, signing malicious authorizations, or leaking private keys or mnemonic phrases, it cannot be simply assumed that "the exchange will compensate." Therefore, a truly reasonable security system should be layered: The platform is responsible for custody, risk control, anomaly detection, and compensation; Users are responsible for hardware keys, Passkey, two-factor authentication, anti-phishing, and private key protection. If any layer is neglected, it may render the efforts of the other layers meaningless. It’s good that exchanges are willing to compete on security, but "someone else covering the risk" should never be an excuse for one’s own negligence.$BTC The current bottleneck is not the price level, but that the market has not yet given the word "effective." After stopping the decline around $83,800, pushing above $87,000 indicates that the bulls have done their homework first. The next step is not to keep calling for higher prices, but to see the quality of $87,000. If this level can still hold after repeated tests and the pullback no longer breaks below it, the upward space will be opened. On the contrary, if the attempts to break above are repeatedly suppressed and the price falls back to $84,000–$85,000, it means the breakout conditions are still immature. Let the market verify itself first, and only consider the next phase after confirming effectiveness. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张,G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 Nonfarm payroll data is positive, but $BTC fell back to 85500 September nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000, while the expectation was 90,000. With such poor data, the market first rose then fell. Why did it fall despite the poor data: Poor data means a weak economy, so funds first rushed to rebound. After the rush, no one was left to buy, so selling pressure came. How the 84200 level came about: $BTC was pulled from 86000 to 87200, and those chasing longs just entered. The price turned red and fell back to 85500, with all moving averages pointing down. The next recent support level downward is 84200. The signal to wait for is simple. $BTC must stand back above 86000 for this wave to be considered stopped. If it can't stand back, 84200 will have to be tested once. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #非农降温难压美债收益率,长期利率压力仍在 $BTC September's new employment was only 29,000, while the market originally expected over a hundred thousand; the unemployment rate instead rose to 4.2%. This data immediately overturned the narrative of a "strong economy." The bond market reacted most directly: the 10-year US Treasury yield had just broken through 5.1%, hitting a 19-year high, but as soon as the nonfarm payrolls were released, it immediately reversed downward. As yields eased, risk assets got a chance to breathe. Bitcoin surged to around 87,400, once breaking above 87,000. However, this rebound did not last. After the PCE benefits were fully priced in, the market refocused on the 10-year US Treasury yield variable. Bitcoin was pushed back to around 84,500, and from yesterday to today, $433 million long positions were liquidated on the false breakout at 87,400. This is the current real state of the market: both bulls and bears are waiting for a clear macro signal, and the strongest signal source is precisely the bond market. Only if yields go down will Bitcoin have a real rally; if yields continue to rise, everything else is just talk. Two other things are worth keeping in mind: first, Fed's Barkin clearly stated that another rate hike is expected this year, with the hawkish camp not backing down; second, the probability of a government shutdown has been pushed down to 4% by Kalshi, with Congress postponing the issue to December, defusing this short-term risk. On the geopolitical front, the US-Iran negotiation delegation has completely withdrawn from Pakistan, effectively breaking down the talks. Trump continues to threaten to block the Strait of Hormuz, keeping oil prices above 103, which is a heavy burden on inflation.⚡ WEAK JOBS DATA, BUT WHY ARE BTC LONGS GETTING LIQUIDATED? The September U.S. jobs report looked bullish for risk assets at first — but the market reaction tells a different story. 🇺🇸 Nonfarm Payrolls: +29K 📉 Forecast: +84K–90K 📊 Unemployment: 4.2% 💵 Wage growth: +0.1% MoM / +3.0% YoY 🔻 July + August revisions: −60K combined The BLS data confirmed a clear cooling in hiring momentum, while unemployment moved higher and wage growth slowed. So why did BTC spike and then reverse? When the 29K payroll number hit, traders immediately reduced expectations for another Fed hike. BTC jumped toward the $87K area, but the move quickly met profit-taking and heavy positioning around resistance. The important part: weak economic data does not automatically mean a straight-line crypto rally. 🔥 The leverage effect If traders entered aggressively during the initial spike, even a relatively small reversal can trigger cascading liquidations. A 100x position has virtually no room for error — roughly a 1% adverse move can wipe out the margin before fees and maintenance requirements are considered. Meanwhile, Treasury yields remain a major obstacle. The 10-year yield initially dropped after the jobs report but later rebounded toward 5.26%, showing that inflation and long-duration bond pressure haven't disappeared. Now watch the next catalyst: inflation. If upcoming inflation data continues cooling, weaker employment could reinforce expectations for easier Fed policy. But if inflation reaccelerates while Treasury yields remain elevated, today's bullish jobs narrative could lose momentum quickly. For $BTC, the real question isn't simply “Is the jobs report bullish?” It's: Can BTC hold above the breakout zone after the initial liquidity sweep? Watch $85K → $87K → $88K on the upside and $83K → $81K on the downside. No FOMO. Let price + volume confirm the next move. #BTC #Bitcoin #NFP #USJobsData #Fed #CPI #CryptoMarket #BTCUSDT"Big Coin Solo Dance, Second Coin Falls: A Brutal Battle Royale" 1. Macro Storm Resonance The Middle East is shrouded in war clouds, the US increases troops and applies pressure, the G7 urgently releases 100 million barrels of crude oil to ease the situation, oil prices soar reigniting inflation fears. The Federal Reserve remains hawkish, Logan calls for another 50 basis point rate hike, US Treasury yields remain high. The SEC approves 3x leveraged ETFs, volatility could ignite at any moment. 2. Massive Capital Migration: Abandon Second Coin, Protect Big Coin BTC ETF sees a single-day net inflow exceeding 100 million, institutions show strong support. But ancient whales from 2016 offload over 400 million USD, selling pressure above is like Mount Tai. ETH is abandoned, ETFs have net outflows close to 120 million over three consecutive days. Funds cluster for warmth, BTC dominance soars to 59%, the vampiric effect is brutal. 3. Ecosystem and Leverage: ETH Deep in the Mire ETH long liquidations in 24 hours reach 329 million USD, deleveraging is severe. Validator exits hit a yearly high, MetaMask security incidents combined with Blast L2 shutdown deal a devastating blow to confidence. Core Summary: Institutions fight desperately to support BTC, while ETH continues to fall due to ecosystem hemorrhage and liquidation storms. The market is plunged into an extremely fractured darkest moment. Abandon illusions, strictly control positions, survive this bloody battle royale, only then can you talk about the future. $BTC $ETH #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 *$BTC Chinese Midday Session - $84,700* - Nonfarm 29,000 vs 900,000 expected, positive for liquidity but price pulled back - Current price $84.7K, support at $84.5K-$83K, resistance at $85K-$87K - Sideways after volatility, only look to $90K if $85K is reclaimed, otherwise $80K - Reminder: Meme is highly volatile, $PEPE and similar should be taken profit in batches, don't be greedy Conclusion first: $LIT dropped another 9.8% today, not a catch-up drop, but a standard distribution pattern with three consecutive days of lower highs. Robinhood's entry was the trigger. Data: In 24h, it fell from 3.835 to 3.459, with about $50 million in volume. Looking at the structure: 10-01 high was 4.13, 10-02 high was 4.03, 10-03 morning session 3.78, the three highs steadily declined. Today's low of 3.415 broke below the support platform of 3.62–3.66 from three days ago. Over 3 days, it dropped -26% from the intraday high of 4.62. Why? Robinhood officially announced choosing Bitstamp as the US perps expansion execution engine, widely reported by mainstream media. Lighter itself operates an order book DEX perps, and the giant has taken over half of this path, heavily impacting valuation logic. Funding rate +0.005%, flat. No signs of short squeeze, it's spot selling pressure, holders are offloading. My interpretation: lower highs + break below support platform + flat funding rate, the three indicators are all present. A rebound to 3.62–3.66 is likely a position reduction, not an entry point. Don't rush to bottom fish; wait until it retakes the platform. Do you think the 3.4 area can hold?Long and Short Crowding List|Last 15 Minutes $SAND Short side unit time holding cost is relatively high: current 4-hour rate -0.3799%, price -0.58%, open interest -4.76%.

Decline and position increase occur simultaneously; holding short through settlement at the current rate, funding fees will lower the breakeven price. On the surface, they celebrate short positions finally making money, but beneath the surface, there's a whole layer of feeling of being cornered. Have you ever had a position where "surviving is harder than making money"? Yesterday afternoon, when ETH surged, I stared at the market and my palms were sweating. The woman in the original post said she almost cried, saying her position would be gone without margin—this isn't pretentiousness, it's a real market slice. A bullish candlestick sweeps out a batch of bears, then quickly pulls back, finally letting those who persist get a taste of the meat. She asked if she wanted to close out, and I completely understand this dilemma: after being tormented for so long, you can't even hold profits steadily. But what the market is really trading isn't about "the bears winning." It's the extreme emotional tearing: on one side is the emptiness after a liquidation, on the other is the survivors' anxiety. In this state, any direction is prone to unexpected volatility because positions are too fragile. The logic behind the bullish trend is: if this pullback is just to wash away leverage and spot structure is intact, ETH will have great resilience to rebound with altcoins. The longer a stock is suppressed, the stronger the short cover will be. Moreover, sentiment shifts from despair to skepticism, often corresponding to a phase bottom area. The risk is clear: a successful short position does not necessarily mean a trend reversal. If BTC can't hold at a key level, ETH's rebound will be a desperate wave and the altcoins will fall faster. Even more hidden, this "escape-from-death" sentiment causes many people to misjudge position management, and next time they might not be so lucky. My judgment: now is not the time to celebrate, but to observe the direction of volatility contraction. If ETH can hold steady after volume expansion and does not break previous lows, the rebound structure will be establishedIn September, the US nonfarm payrolls increased by only 29,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, yet BTC showed a typical "rise first, then fall" pattern. What is truly worth studying this time is not how bad the non-farm payrolls are, but why the market bought BTC immediately and then gave back the gains. On October 2, US nonfarm payrolls for September added only 29,000, far below the market expectation of about 90,000, and the July and August employment data was revised down by 60,000 people combined; the unemployment rate rose from 4.1% to 4.2%, average hourly earnings rose only 0.1% month-on-month, and year-on-year growth dropped to 3.0%. The first reaction is very simple: The sharp weakness in nonfarm payrolls → weakened the Fed's rationale for further rate hikes→ U.S. Treasury yields fell→ putting pressure on the dollar→ risk assets gained liquidity support→ BTC surged rapidly. That's exactly how the market traded at the time. BTC briefly broke through around $87,000, and US Treasury yields quickly dropped after the data was released. But then problems arose. If employment data is not a "mild cooling" but rather shows a noticeable slowdown in economic growth, then the logic shifts from "lower interest rates" to "the economy may be worse." This is the core of BTC's initial rise and then decline. Simply put: Bad nonfarm → Rising expectations for rate cuts or pauses in rate hikes → positive for BTC Concerns over a bad nonfarm → recession are rising→ risk appetite is declining→ weighing on BTC Both logics coexist, and the market eventually begins to trade the second again. And this time, there's a very crucial signal: US Treasury yields haven't been declining all the way. The 10-year US Treasury yield hit its lowest point since the nonfarm payroll release$BTC's current pullback is just the beginning of the real test. It has fallen from above $87,000 intraday and is now hovering around $84,500. $BTC has cooled down short-term sentiment. There are two scenarios ahead: Holding above **$84,000**, first targeting $85,500, then the previous high near $87,000; Breaking below **$84,000** and continuing to weaken means we need to watch out for a further retest near $82,000. Now is not about who shouts the loudest, but about how the price moves. When $BTC doesn't give a clear direction, don't make decisions for the market.Market sentiment is very hot, but DOGE remains calmly alone. The Fear and Greed Index is stuck at 72, in the greed zone, with funds flowing in, just not into Dogecoin. This is not DOGE's problem; it's a matter of queue order. As the overall market sentiment warms up, the flow of funds follows a sequence: first BTC, the anchor of institutional holdings; then ETH, the foundation of the ecosystem narrative; followed by SOL, the flexible first choice. By the time it’s DOGE’s turn, the positions have already been allocated. This structural marginalization repeats in every greed cycle—the hotter the index, the longer the tail of the queue. Dogecoin’s chip structure determines its position. Without an ETF channel to absorb new inflows, without staking yields to lock in existing holdings, most holders are retail investors waiting for the wind. When the wind comes, it blows elsewhere first. Elon Musk’s topics occasionally ignite a fuse, but the fuse doesn’t burn far on this damp market. The calm $DOGE is a mirror reflecting market stratification. The greed index measures total sentiment, while price reflects capital choices. The total amount is rising, but the choice bypasses it. For holders, this may not be a bad thing: a marginal position means low crowding, and once the mainline saturates and funds overflow, the tail will become the head. Before that happens, one must get used to the fact that the excitement belongs to others. $DOGE 【On-Chain Trading Update|ASTER】 Monitored address 0xbe10 opened a long position: ▪ Execution price: $0.7102 ▪ Transaction amount this time: $106,525.47 ▪ Leverage: 3x Note: This address has earned over $1,327,000 in the past 30 days, with a return rate of +85.72% *October 4 $BTC Latest in Chinese (Pakistan Time Afternoon)* - *Market*: $85,333 fluctuating, 4-hour ascending channel upper boundary at $87,238 met resistance and pulled back, support at $84.5K-$86K, breaking down targets $78K-$82K - *Macro*: Nonfarm payrolls 29,000 far below expected 90,000, unemployment rate 4.2%, PCE cooling, rate hike probability only 18%, 10-year US Treasury at 5.17% - *ETF*: Q3 net inflow $6.34 billion reversing Q2 outflow of 5 billion, strongest Q3 since 2017, but today only $103 million inflow, buying momentum weakening - *Trend*: Short-term pullback remains a pullback, a new catalyst is needed for a strong one-sided rally, $88K-$90K is strong resistance In one sentence: *Positive factors realized, volatility cooling, holding $84,500 without breaking is the only chance for a second surge to $88K.*Recently, I haven't been doing arbitrage because the volatility is low, and it's time to choose a direction. The rebound in AI tech stocks is in its final stage; except for giants with sufficient cash flow, for those that have fallen a lot, buying is basically fine. For those traditional cyclical stocks using AI narratives up to now, if they haven't broken previous highs and are consolidating, don't try to guess the bottom. Going long now only has a 3% stop-loss space, and the odds aren't high. It's really better to wait for a clearer direction. There are still quite a few surprises to look forward to. Previously, there were many positives; going forward, there will gradually be random negatives. Those starting to short for trend should begin testing positions. If the previous highs aren't broken, and the rebound is within a downtrend space, short on rallies, give the market some time. The odds here are much better than going long. So for upcoming trend trades, unless unexpected events occur and the logic is falsified, just hold on. Use time to exchange for space with high odds. Finish the longs on this wave of Tem that don't break the lower band, then go all in on shorting Hynix. #非农降温难压美债收益率,长期利率压力仍在 Why do some people always manage to "prove they were right"? When BTC was at 58,000: "It will drop to 50,000." At 70,000: "62,000 definitely won't hold." At 80,000: "70,000 is the target." At 85,000: "Waiting for 75,000." The most interesting thing is: The price keeps rising, and so do the target prices. This is not simply a bearish issue, but a very common cognitive trap in trading: Turning a "viewpoint" into an "identity." At first, it was just: "I think BTC will fall." Later it became: "I am a bear." Then, no matter how the market changes, one must find reasons to prove their initial judgment was not wrong. So the target prices keep moving, but the logic never truly updates. At this point, it's no longer about analyzing the market, but about protecting one's own viewpoint. A truly mature trading approach should be: Price changes → Data changes → Re-evaluation → Adjust viewpoint if necessary. It's okay to be bullish. It's okay to be bearish. But don't turn your position into a belief. The most dangerous thing in the market is not being wrong, but refusing to admit it after being wrong.Brothers, $ZEC is now at 1316, with a low of 1270, having retraced more than 20% from the high of 1695. Zcash has fallen from the late September high of $1,698 down to around $1,316, dropping over 7% in a single day. The core reasons for this correction are three simultaneous events: Grayscale ZCSH ETF had a single-day outflow of $30.25 million, with cumulative net inflows dropping from $233 million to $203 million; market rumors that North Korean hackers are using privacy pools to transfer stolen funds, raising regulatory concerns; plus a previous surge of 253% that accumulated a large amount of profit-taking. But the whales are still buying on the dip. On-chain data shows that a whale has net accumulated about 22,960 ZEC in the past week, worth approximately $31.7 million, with an average entry price of about 1,509, currently at an unrealized loss of about 7%. Another whale entity holds 65,158 ZEC, valued at over $91 million, and has been adding to their position recently. Key technical levels: $1,233 is the critical daily close watershed; holding above it means the correction is still healthy; if it breaks above $1,410.72 again, the uptrend will resume. ADX is at 52, indicating the trend strength is not significantly broken, and the 50-day EMA remains above the 200-day EMA. Discuss in the comments, is this ZEC correction a buying opportunity or a trend top? 👇 #ZEC再创本轮新高,逼近1700美元 The market is in panic, yet BlackRock is still buying BTC? A set of data is worth noting: BlackRock IBIT bought about $195.6 million worth of BTC in a single day yesterday. Net purchases in the past month are about $1.57 billion. Interestingly, this happened during a phase of clearly weakening market sentiment. BTC fell below 84k. Long positions continue to be liquidated. Funding rates have turned to extreme negative values. Market sentiment has clearly cooled down. But ETF funds are still continuously allocating. This indicates a very important change: Short-term sentiment and long-term capital behavior can be completely opposite. Retail investors may choose to sell due to the decline, and leveraged funds may be forced to liquidate. But funds allocated through ETFs may continue to buy according to their asset allocation plans. So when you see "BlackRock bought $1.57 billion," don't simply interpret it as: "Institutions are bottom-fishing." You should rather ask: What is the nature of these funds? Are they long-term allocation funds? Arbitrage funds? Or short-term trading funds? Different fund natures lead to completely different subsequent behaviors. What is truly worth observing in the ETF era is not whether institutions have bought, but: When the market falls, have long-term allocation funds stopped buying? 0.078 $SAND, dare to chase? On October 1st, it was still consolidating at 0.044. After the Korean exchange lifted deposit and withdrawal restrictions on October 2nd, shorts rushed to cover, pushing the price up to 0.07, with a high of 0.084. The 24-hour increase was 65-75%, market cap only 230 million, volume 1 billion, turnover rate extremely high, daily RSI broke 80 indicating severe overbought, a typical short squeeze scenario that came fast and may retreat quickly. Market logic: ① The rise is due to the Korean exchange lifting restrictions. After the cross-chain bridge hack, the platform suspended deposits and withdrawals, accumulating a large number of shorts. Once restrictions were lifted, concentrated short covering triggered a pulse rally. ② The metaverse narrative cooled down, SAND's fundamentals show no turning point, the token is nearly fully circulating, LAND data is below peak, this round is driven by liquidity and short covering. Technically, this is a mid-pulse move, not the start of a trend. Resistance: 0.082-0.084, only above 0.085 can we look at 0.09-0.10 Support: 0.064 is the critical line; breaking below 0.059 ends this rally, returning to the 0.044-0.046 range. Operation reference: Aggressive: very light position at 0.078, stop loss at 0.068, reduce half at 0.084. Conservative: wait for a pullback to 0.064-0.069 to observe, ideal entry 0.050-0.055, if not reached, do not chase. Breakout type: volume breakout and hold above 0.085, pullback not below 0.078 then follow up, abandon false breakout. Short: light short at 0.082-0.084 if stagnation occurs, stop loss at 0.088, targets 0.069 and 0.060 I guess people who recently bought PONS must have strong feelings about it. You'll find it dropping lower each time, it's so frustrating. If it rebounds, you sell; if it falls, you buy again and then sell again. It looks okay, but the problem now is that although it has been rebounding recently, it keeps hitting new lows, and this level still hasn't stabilized. It used to fluctuate between 0.5 and 0.7, but now it's out of that range. The first time it hit 0.5 was golden, but after many times, it became a pit of despair. The current price has already dropped to 0.4! And even with positive news, PONS upgraded to V3, the good news came out but it continued to be harvested. However, the impressive thing is that despite dropping so much, the fee rate is still positive, which is quite remarkable—there's so much faith! If it goes below 0.3, I might consider PONS. For now, I'll keep watching! This kind of trading style really makes it impossible to feel comfortable. $PONS *October 3 $BTC Latest 5 Chinese News Highlights* 1. *Nonfarm Payrolls Surprise*: September added 29,000 vs expected 90,000, previous 162,000 revised down to 133,000, unemployment rate 4.2%, all four indicators missed, October rate hike probability dropped from 64% to 18% 2. *Price*: $83,900 → surged to $87,238 → currently $85,333 retreating, $244 million short squeeze, 24-hour range $84,057-$87,238 3. *Key Levels*: Resistance $88K-$90K (3,100 sell wall), support $84.5K-$86K trendline, break targets $78K-$82K 4. *Funds*: ETF inflow today only $103 million, total $2.39 billion this week, 10-year US Treasury yield 5.34%→5.17% 5. *Action*: Failure to hold $85,500 is a false breakout, holding $84,057 is needed for a second attempt at $88K, break below targets $83,100 In short: *After the bullish news is priced in, price surged then retreated; wait for $85,500 to stabilize, do not chase.*$DOGE Don't rush to say the familiar market is back yet, meow. Tonight, Dogecoin rose about 2.4% intraday, but it is still down about 3.5% for the week. Newcomers think the rebound is good, while those who bought a few days ago might still be waiting to break even. During the same rise, the moods of these two groups are completely different, meow. I will pay attention to one situation: the price has just stabilized, but expectations have already run far ahead. At this time, it's easiest to mistake "finally losing less" for "there must be a big rise ahead." Breaking even is your own account; the market has no obligation to cooperate, meow. $PEPE I want to talk about that feeling of "buy a little and get a lot of coins," meow. Lots of zeros after the decimal point look cheap, and holding a large quantity doesn't make profits easier. If the reason for placing an order is just because others are showing profits and you feel you must buy now or you'll miss out, then you haven't really thought through why you are optimistic, meow. Especially don't expect to be as calm chasing after a coin as others were when they bought at a low price. $SUI tends to make people mix up long-term optimism with short-term impatience, meow. If before buying you said you were willing to wait a few months, but after two days with no movement you want to switch to a faster-rising coin, what you really want might just be to see profits immediately. I prefer to think this through first, meow: how long can you really accept waiting? Otherwise, you keep switching, always finding your current holding too slow, and always attracted by others' excitement. $DOGE BTC short positions are starting to get crowded, is the short squeeze fuel increasing? Recently, BTC has shown a signal worth noting: The funding rate has dropped to its most negative level since May. Simply put: When the funding rate is positive, longs usually pay shorts; When the funding rate is negative, shorts pay longs. Now that the rate has clearly turned negative, it indicates that the capital betting on a price drop is rapidly crowding in. And what shorts fear most is a sudden price reversal upward. Because once BTC starts to rise, some shorts will stop loss or even get liquidated. Closing a short position essentially means buying BTC. This can lead to: Price rise → short covering → forced buying → continued rise → more short covering. This is a classic "short squeeze." But it’s important to note: Crowded shorts ≠ immediate BTC reversal. It only indicates a change in position structure. What’s truly worth watching is whether the funding rate, open interest, spot trading volume, and price structure all change simultaneously. If these signals start to resonate together, the market odds may truly shift. Crowding is not a buy signal, but extreme crowding is worth monitoring.Bitcoin is currently fluctuating between $84,000 and $87,000. Weak non-farm payrolls have lowered rate hike expectations, ETF inflows and "Uptober" sentiment provide support, but high U.S. Treasury yields and unresolved geopolitical risks keep selling pressure evident between $87,000 and $87,300. In the short term, this is a high-level turnover, not a trend reversal; holding $82,000–$84,000 is bullish, a volume breakout above $87,300 targets $90,000, while falling below $82,000 turns bearish. Mid-term focus is on U.S. PCE and rate decisions; only a macro easing can push it to $100,000 #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张,G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 After Bitcoin surged to 86,500 and then pulled back, many people are asking if it has peaked. Actually, what matters is not how much it pulls back, but how this rally was driven. If it was purely pushed up by sentiment and retail FOMO, the pullback would indeed be risky; but this time the foundation is solid: expectations of rate cuts remain, liquidity is loosening, and institutions are continuously buying through spot ETFs. This money is for allocation, not short-term speculation. After the halving, miner selling pressure has also significantly eased, large on-chain addresses are still accumulating, fewer people are selling, and buyers have not left. So the pullback near 86,500 looks more like profit-taking. As long as it doesn't break key supports at 80,000 or 75,000, it's a rotation rather than a sell-off. Instead of guessing tops and bottoms, it's better to focus on three lines: ETF net inflows, large on-chain transfers, and macro liquidity. $BTC[Old Chive Observation] #SEC plans to revise crypto asset custody rules Let's interpret this — trading tools are expanding, and custody rules are also being adjusted. The U.S. is gradually completing the full set of infrastructure needed for institutions to enter the crypto market. On October 1st, the SEC officially proposed new crypto asset custody rules. The core is not to let retail investors "self-custody coins." Instead, it is to provide registered investment advisers and regulated funds with more compliant custody options. These include: Qualified state-chartered trust companies can provide crypto asset custody; Under very limited conditions, investment advisers can also self-custody clients' crypto assets. What does this mean? Previously, when institutions wanted to allocate crypto assets on a large scale, besides "what to buy," they had to solve a very practical problem: Where exactly to hold the coins to meet regulatory requirements? This time, the SEC is providing new answers to this question. Combined with the recently approved 3x BTC and ETH ETPs: Trading tools are expanding, and custody rules are also being adjusted. What the U.S. is promoting now is no longer just "letting institutions buy coins," but gradually completing the full set of infrastructure needed for institutions to enter the crypto market. $BTC $ETH $ZEC Trump's $5,000 "dividend," what is really worth paying attention to? Trump recently stated that if the Republican Party wins the midterm elections, it will give every American citizen a $5,000 "Trump dividend." Based on a population of about 316 million, the theoretical scale is close to $1.58 trillion. But don't directly interpret this as a "BTC positive." This is primarily a political promise at this stage, not a policy that has already been implemented. What is truly worth focusing on is the fiscal logic behind it: If such a large-scale expenditure is really needed in the future, it will inevitably involve fiscal deficits, bond issuance, and monetary system issues. And this precisely connects with several recent macro themes discussed in the market: U.S. fiscal deficit, debt expansion, inflation expectations, and monetary purchasing power. For Bitcoin, the important thing has never been the single news of "whether the government will issue $5,000," but rather: Whether fiscal expansion is becoming a market consensus again. If liquidity is abundant, fiscal stimulus may be understood by the market as fuel for risk assets; if liquidity is tight, the same promise may be regarded as political rhetoric. So this matter is more suitable to be placed within a macro observation framework rather than directly becoming a trading signal. The news is just a catalyst; what truly determines market performance is liquidity.The non-farm payrolls surprised to the downside, turning into a bull trap. Data fell short of expectations, the market initially surged then plunged, giving a strong sense that the positive news has been fully priced in. The Nasdaq's upward push was unstable and quickly gave back gains; the 7400 level remains the key dividing line between strength and weakness—failure to hold above it makes a sustained rally unlikely. $BTC sharply rose from around 86000 to 87200, seemingly breaking out but actually a bull trap, followed by a plunge. Short-term moving averages have turned downward, with 84200 as short-term support; if broken, deeper correction may follow. $ETH hit a high of 2777 before encountering a large bearish candle, erasing all gains and falling back near 2700. Bearish pressure is clearly increasing; if 2700 breaks, the next target is 2640. $ZEC plunged straight down to about 1280 overnight, a big gift to the bears. However, after a sharp drop, beware of a rebound; chasing shorts requires caution. The market never lacks opportunities, but patience to avoid chasing highs is scarce. The lesson from the non-farm night: positive news landing does not necessarily mean a buying opportunity. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 #美伊局势持续紧张,G7将释放最多1亿桶储备 【On-Chain Trading Update|NEAR】 Monitored address 0x8afa opened a long position: ▪ Execution price: $4.71 ▪ Transaction amount this time: $99,990.48 ▪ Leverage: 3x*October 3 $BTC Chinese Quick News Final Version - Current Price Around $85,300* *🟠 Core Data - You Were Right:* Nonfarm payrolls *+29K vs expected 90K, missing by 3 times*, previous value *162K→133K revised down*, July also revised from 21K to *-10K (negative growth)*.

Go with the trend, protect your principal, always the top priorityNonfarm payrolls in September increased by only 29,000, with expectations around 90,000, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%. Once the data was released, calls for "rate cuts" resurfaced. But can a weak employment report really open the door to Federal Reserve easing? Probably not. Inflation stickiness, financial conditions, and officials' wording are the key factors. Currently, long-term U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and the dollar has not clearly reversed; market pricing looks more like a "delay rather than a pivot." Crypto leads the sentiment: $BTC reclaimed 86,000 and approached 87,000, $ETH rose from around 2,600 to near 2,750, and $SOL surged to 122, showing strong intraday resilience. However, behind the rebound, spot ETFs have shifted to net outflows, and incremental buying has not returned. Interest rates and the dollar remain heavy overhead pressures; this looks more like a technical correction after bearish realization, not the starting gun for a trend reversal. One nonfarm payroll candlestick cannot change the macro script. If rate cut trades are to truly start, inflation, employment, and Fed rhetoric must resonate together. Short-term optimism is possible, but don’t mistake a correction for a bull market. #美国9月非农仅增2.9万,失业率升至4.2% #美债收益率频创新高,长期利率压力未缓解 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出,资金热度降温 BTC Market: The rebound is just a correction, don't mistake it for the start of a new bull market Many rushed to heavily buy BTC when it pulled back from the low of 83826, but I'll get straight to the point: this is just a consolidation correction after a big drop, not a reversal. Looking at this 15-minute candlestick chart, the Bollinger Bands have started to contract, and the price is grinding back and forth near the middle band. The first strong resistance above is at 86806; to truly reverse the short-term bearish trend, the price must hold above this level. The key support below is at 84227; if this level breaks, this rebound will be over, and bears will retest the previous low of 83826. This kind of range-bound consolidation is the easiest to trap retail traders. Chasing longs often hits resistance and gets crushed, while opening shorts casually often meets support and triggers a rebound, causing stop-losses to be swept back and forth. The most valuable skill in trading is not frequent entries but knowing how to wait. In a consolidation, don't guess breakouts; wait for the price to exit the range, then follow the trend. Before the direction is clear, trade light and use strict stop-losses; heavy positions betting on a one-sided move is like giving away chips. So the question is, do you think BTC will gather strength to break above 86806 and open up rebound space, or is this a fake correction that will break below 84227 and continue downward?

Let me give my conclusion first: this is just a corrective consolidation after a decline, not a reversal. Looking at the 15-minute chart, the BOLL Bollinger Bands have narrowed, and the price is oscillating near the middle band. The resistance above is 2758, which is the first hurdle. To truly turn bullish, the price must hold above this level. The support below is 2662; if this support is broken, this rebound will be declared over, and the bears will push down again to test the previous low of 2646. The Supertrend line is at 2684.67, and the current price is fluctuating around this trend line, with bulls and bears battling here without a clear direction. In such a narrow-range consolidation, chasing trades is the biggest taboo. Chasing longs can easily get crushed by resistance above, while chasing shorts can easily hit support and rebound. Consolidation markets often repeatedly trigger stop losses. Remember the core of trading: do not guess breakouts during consolidation; wait for the direction to emerge before acting. Before a breakout, take light positions with strict stop losses; do not heavily bet on one side. So here’s the question: do you think ETH will gather strength to break above 2758, or is this a fake rebound that will break below 2662 and continue downward?

Today's BTC current price is 84558.2, resistance at 85000, support at 84000. I've learned my lesson and won't open longs near resistance anymore.

Both longs and shorts got hit, no one escaped. Yesterday morning, the market priced in the good news early, and then the non-farm payrolls pushed it up again at night. Everyone expected a strong rally. What happened? It surged then dropped, those chasing longs got buried, and those chasing shorts got stopped out. Looking at the profit leaderboard, over 80% are longs. The car is too heavy, the main force can't pull it, so it can only wash back and forth. Only when no one dares to follow will a direction be chosen. There is still no clear big direction. Could it be waiting for the midterm elections? Don't guess, wait for the signal.

It was still around 0.0212 in the early morning, then returned to 0.0223 in the afternoon, a rise of about 5% between the two points, meaning at least someone bought back during this decline. I will first take 0.022 as the observation point. If it can hold on after falling back, and then move up, it will look more like a continued recovery. But there is no need to rush to call a reversal now; the past week has still seen a slight decline. The biggest fear is that expectations get raised too high right after a rebound, only for the price to fall back again. Let's first see how much of this rebound can be maintained before deciding whether to raise expectations. $SUI I am still cautious for now. Around noon it was near 1.146, lower than last night's 1.185, indicating that last night's rebound did not hold. Even if it bounces up later, first let's see if it can reclaim last night's level. If it retreats again near that area, I won't be quick to expect the next round of gains. A large monthly increase does not mean a short-term pullback will end quickly. $LINK has already returned to around 14, down about 3.5% in the past 24 hours, so there is no need to be too optimistic in the short term. However, 14 is just a round number, and a few cents up or down cannot determine the direction. I am more focused on whether the rebound can return to around 14.2 last night and continue upward. If even this segment is hard to recover, then continue to watch more and act less. Before the market shows a clear move, there is no need to prearrange an upward trend for it.? Finally got some rest, but after sleeping a bit, I lost $10,000 on $SAND. I was so tired I forgot to close the position. I remember I only lost about $2,000 before sleeping, this is ridiculous. The fees also charged me $1,000, lost it. I'll keep the other short positions.
