PENDLE Has the Product. Now Price Needs Proof
PENDLE is expanding into RWAs, tokenized stocks and institutional yield.
The fundamentals are real. Price remains unconvinced.
Around $2.35, PENDLE is still ~61% below its 2025 high.
$2.10 is the level that matters. Lose it, and structure weakens.
$2.78 is the first sign sentiment’s turning.
This is a watch, not a long.
The market wants real TVL, volume and fee growth—not more announcements.

$PENDLE The gang leader has something to say
The US Senate has introduced the ADAPT Act, a new crypto tax law. Here are the key points. Buying goods and services with stablecoins does not recognize capital gains or losses. Wash sale rules are extended to digital assets. Gas fees under $10 are tax-exempt. It also involves tax treatment for staking, lending, and ETF pledging.
I believe this law is moving the tax system toward compliance.
Tax exemption for daily stablecoin payments opens payment scenarios for USDT and USDC. In the future, buying things with stablecoins won’t require calculating capital gains, making them function more like money.
The extension of wash sale rules is a tightening. This rule existed for stocks before, and now it applies to digital assets as well. Selling short-term and immediately buying back cannot be used for tax loss harvesting. The "CORE Bank" that everyone has been asking about, where exactly is it now?
The CORE Bank that many people talk about is officially named SatPay (Bitcoin New Bank/Neobank). It is not a traditional bank where you can open an account immediately. It is the most important "BTC-Fi landing flagship" on the entire chain and also the real income engine everyone is most looking forward to.
Breaking down the current real progress:
- ✅ The foundation has been set: Cooperation has been established with the overseas new bank infrastructure team Mobilum, based on the Hermes hard fork upgraded mainnet as the foundation. The technical framework for the three major modules of staking, lending, and payment has been finalized; the goal is to enable BTC to be used without giving up custody rights, allowing it to earn interest, be used as collateral for loans, and even be directly linked to a consumption card for use.
- ✅ AMP asset management protocol has been piloted: Equivalent to the "bank's wealth management department" going live early for testing, packaging BTC+CORE staking yields into strategies, generating fees, and partially flowing back to repurchase CORE; this is a preliminary experimental field for SatPay to generate its own cash flow, and the model has been verified on a small scale.
- ⚠️ The public official version is not yet available: Currently in the stages of compliance integration, institutional custody channel opening, and internal testing refinement; the official team has not provided a definite launch date. Recent Twitter updates mostly focus on directions and showcasing partner progress, without releasing a fully open product entry point. #美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 #伊朗收到美国反提案，美伊分歧仍在 $BTC The biggest lesson from trading recently is: with little capital, you absolutely cannot use high leverage. 100x leverage means that just a 1% adverse move will liquidate your position; this margin for error in the crypto world is basically a death sentence. I once held a heavy position on a certain coin and stubbornly held on, watching the liquidation price come within 0.4%. That suffocating feeling of staring at the K-line late at night is something I never want to experience again.
The core logic for trading BTC and ETH is "low leverage + spot mindset + strict stop-loss." Don’t always think about getting rich overnight. In this market, surviving longer is always more important than making quick profits.$BTC $ETH $ZEC These three are not moving in sync.
I still only wait for buying opportunities after a pullback,
even if it means waiting half a day,
I won’t switch to short positions.
If I lose, I handle it according to plan,
if I profit, I take it at the target.

#美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 Is $SNDK repeatedly squeezing both sides? 👀 Let's break down the latest order-book structure. On the 15-minute chart, price is sitting at an important decision area after bouncing from an oversold move. 1️⃣ ORDER BOOK STRUCTURE • Overhead supply zone: **1,782–1,795** Sell orders are appearing in several layers. Larger visible blocks around **1,783–1,786** and another cluster near **1,791–1,794Not talking about K-line today. What we're discussing is: how CT's recent surge actually happened, and within that 1855% increase, how much is real and how much is leveraged.
The first truth: this is not "speculating on new coins," this is "speculating on infrastructure."
First, let's clarify who is behind CT.
Concrete is developed by Blueprint Finance. Blueprint is a New York-based company established after the 2023 FTX incident, having raised over $17 million in total funding, with investors including Polychain Capital, YZi Labs (formerly Binance Labs), and VanEck.
This is not a fly-by-night team. Polychain is one of the top VCs in the crypto industry, YZi Labs is backed by Binance, and VanEck is a traditional asset management giant managing hundreds of billions of dollars.Getting into virtual currency, at first I really didn't take it seriously. My friends kept posting screenshots in the group every day, and I was envious watching them, so I opened an account. My first purchase was some $BTC. After buying, I regretted it—afraid of a drop, afraid of missing out. I couldn't even sleep well those days. Later, I gradually understood a bit—not really understood, just lost a lot and learned not to mess around. I held $ETH for a while, didn't make much, but also didn't sell at the lowest point, so I guess I was lucky. I also tried $SOL in between; it surged sharply and dropped sharply too. If you have a weak heart, really don't play. Now my position is very small, just for fun. If I make money, I treat myself to a good meal; if I lose, I order a cheaper takeout. Don't borrow money, don't get carried away, don't believe in guaranteed profits. When others shout buy signals, you lose money, and they won't be responsible. The market moves even at midnight; you can't watch it all the time or control it. Getting a good night's sleep is more important than anything. There are opportunities in this field, but even more traps. Surviving is better than making a quick profit. Now when people ask me if they can play, I just say use spare money, play small, don't take it seriously. Life is still life, coins are just coins. #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出

#伊朗收到美国反提案，美伊分歧仍在 #Interest Rate Hike Expectations Delayed, September Nonfarm Payrolls Become the Next Key
$BTC
US August Core PCE year-on-year and month-on-month were below expectations, indicating inflation is easing. The market has lowered the probability of a Fed rate hike in October, with Goldman Sachs pushing rate hike expectations to December. Although some Fed officials have expressed hawkish views, the market has already started pricing in a pause in rate hikes. Bitcoin is a high-risk asset; when liquidity expectations ease, risk appetite for funds increases. The market is now focused on the September nonfarm payroll report, as employment strength will directly alter Fed policy expectations.
On the order book, after the previous pullback, bearish pressure has somewhat eased, and there is buying support on the downside.
Choose to buy BTC on dips. Core logic: easing inflation suppresses rate hike expectations, market risk appetite warms up, waiting for nonfarm payrolls to catalyze the market. (The usual pattern: the market trades Fed liquidity expectations, rate hike expectations cool down, and risk assets tend to rebound.)
Currently in a data waiting window, as long as nonfarm payroll data does not significantly exceed expectations, US Treasury yields are unlikely to continue rising, giving BTC room to rebound. If employment data falls short of expectations, the rebound elasticity of risk assets will further increase.
Key focus: September nonfarm payrolls, US Treasury yields, and the US dollar trend.
$BTC A very low perpetual funding rate does not mean that leverage risk has disappeared.
Many people see the $ETH perpetual funding rate close to zero and assume the market is not crowded. The problem is, the rate only reflects the short-term price balance between long and short contracts; it does not directly tell you how large the total position size is. As long as both longs and shorts increase leverage simultaneously, the rate can remain calm while open interest keeps piling up.
The real danger is when price volatility is low, open interest keeps rising, but spot trading does not keep pace. At this point, the market is like a spring pulled tight on both sides; a single macro data release or a large order can trigger a cascade of stop losses. If position growth is supported by spot inflows, the risk is somewhat lower; if it’s just contracts betting against each other, the stability is only temporary.
Funding rates on different platforms can also offset each other. One side may be long-biased, the other short-biased, making the aggregated value appear neutral while actual positions are highly concentrated. Observing extreme values, duration persistence, and price premiums on individual platforms is often more useful than watching a market-wide average.
When the price finally breaks out of the range, which side blows up first is often determined by the position structure rather than the sign of the funding rate.
Low funding rates do not equal low risk; sometimes it just means neither longs nor shorts have conceded yet. XRP has been consolidating around the 1.50 level for five days—not the price that's being tested, but retail investors' patience, because institutions are quietly accumulating.
1. Institutional channels are silently expanding: According to CoinShares weekly report, XRP had a net inflow of $92.3 million last week, ranking third across the entire industry.
Price hasn't moved, but funds are flowing; such divergence usually precedes price correction.
2. Box consolidation: Between 1.49 and 1.54, it has been sideways for five trading days, with volatility compressed to this month's lowest level. Next is the time to choose a direction.
Most of its supply cap has been priced in, so I lean towards an upward move.
3. Positive factors like RLUSD, Brazil, and Coinbase collateral are slowly materializing, but none are strong enough to be a trigger—the missing piece is a weekly candle with volume expansion.
My view: The five-day sideways consolidation is not in vain; the direction choice is near. For the first wave, I’m targeting 1.6 A bull market is never a straight line upward. Some of the biggest opportunities are created when the market suddenly shakes out weak hands. One group sells in fear, another uses the volatility to rebalance. We can't control where price goes, but we can control our exposure, risk and discipline. My five core watchlist cards: $BTC $ETH $SOL $ZEC $UNI These aren't simply momentum plays in my framework. Each has an established role within different parts of the crypto/Web3 ecosystem, so short-term From BTC to BCH to CORE Hard Fork: A Decade-Long Tug of War Over "Decentralization"
⚠️For research review only, not investment advice
From the BTC scaling debate, to the BCH hard fork, and now to the CORE token burn hard fork, these ten years have essentially been a prolonged struggle centered on the concept of decentralization.
In the early days, Bitcoin blocks were only 1MB, causing transaction congestion and huge community disagreements. The big block faction advocated direct scaling to make Bitcoin a daily payment cash; the Core development team insisted on small blocks, fearing that larger blocks would prevent ordinary users from running nodes, leading the network toward centralization. In 2017, the conflict erupted completely, resulting in the BCH hard fork that expanded blocks to 8MB, splitting the two chains.
This debate continued into the BTCFi track with the CORE public chain. CORE's current hard fork plans to burn 150 million excess tokens to restore market confidence, but the governance issue of 21-node centralization remains. Code vulnerabilities can be fixed, but the structural contradiction of concentrated node power is difficult to eliminate with a single hard fork.
After a decade of fork wars, the core problem remains unchanged: it is difficult to achieve both performance and decentralization.
As the wisdom of the I Ching suggests, nothing is absolutely perfect. Every public chain must make trade-offs among efficiency, security, and decentralization. There is no perfect solution; all upgrades are a continuous process of balancing. #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出 $BTC
Bullish bias. I'm holding my long position with a cost basis of 84300, and the current price is near the breakeven point.
The funding rate is 0.0068%/8h; a positive rate indicates longs are still paying to add positions, so the enthusiasm hasn't cooled. The open interest (OI) is 2.367 billion U, showing no decrease in volume and no capital flight. These two indicators support that the overall structure remains intact.
However, there's a contradiction here: the ADX (4H) is at 32.28, which indicates a strong trend, but the price is stuck grinding within a narrow range between 83765 and 84545, just a few hundred points. The 4H RSI is only 52.62, showing no strong momentum. The high ADX and narrow price range conflict, possibly indicating accumulation.
I plan to add some position when the price breaks the first resistance at 84545 to confirm strength. If it falls back below my cost basis of 84300 and fails to recover, I will exit half of my position. If it breaks the strong support below at 83118, I will admit my mistake and fully exit.
The price level that would prove my bullish bias wrong is 83118. If it breaks below here, I acknowledge I was wrong. #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 You keep adding to a losing position, hoping to pull the average cost closer, just like trying harder to hold onto something that's already decided to leave. But sometimes the trend is the trend, and forcing it only makes the damage bigger. Xiao Ma is staring at the two positions on the screen again: $ETH and $BTC — both fully long. Current unrealized drawdown: $ETH: around -38.6% $BTC: around -68.9% Sitting here, I'm asking myself again: Am I patiently waiting for a reversal, or am I simply refHot Coin Data Ranking｜Last 15 Minutes
$ETH decline accompanied by active selling, open interest basically flat: 15-minute price -0.42%, active buying 35.0%, volume 2.3 times. Short-term weakness with volume support, open interest scale did not expand synchronously.Bitcoin ETFs have seen net inflows for 9 consecutive days, totaling about $3.08 billion, but the inflow pace has clearly slowed in the last three days, with only $66.19 million on September 29. On the other hand, ETH ETFs, after 7 consecutive days of inflows totaling $851 million, experienced a net outflow of $2.81 million on September 29. Money is still flowing into BTC, but at a slower rate, while ETH has started to flow out.
This shift is more important than the price itself. Previously, ETH ETFs were attracting funds in sync with BTC, but the sudden divergence indicates that institutional short-term preferences for the two assets have changed. BTC can still hold because its ETF buying momentum has inertia, but the decreasing inflows mean fewer funds chasing higher prices. Although ETH's outflow is only $2.81 million and not large, the signal is not good. If ETH continues to see outflows in the coming days, the overall sentiment in the crypto market will be dragged down, making it difficult for BTC to remain unaffected.
For BTC, short-term support is around 82,000, with strong resistance still at 85,000 above. The slowdown in fund inflows combined with ETH's diversion increases the difficulty of an upward breakout in the short term. With non-farm payroll data yet to be released, large funds are hesitant to move recklessly, so the market is likely to continue oscillating.$ZEC failed to hold 1400 today, does that mean it will definitely reach 1300 tomorrow? I don't think so, because right now they are operating in an up-and-down sweep mode.
Looking at the market, ZEC has fallen from a high of 1698 to 1404, with each rebound peak getting lower, which looks like a downtrend. But look at the long-short ratio in the screenshot: long positions account for 43.33%, short positions 56.67%, with a long-short ratio of 0.76. Shorts actually dominate, which means the market makers won't let shorts easily profit. Under this structure, big rises and big falls are difficult; it's more likely to be repeated tug-of-war, sweeping both hesitant longs and shorts out.
Looking at the latest news, there are several important signals. Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss publicly expressed a bullish stance, stating that the current market sentiment for Zcash is very similar to Bitcoin in 2019. Meanwhile, a huge whale withdrew 2000 ZEC from Binance, consolidating it into a main holding address, which currently holds about $66.19 million worth of ZEC—large funds are withdrawing and locking tokens. The NU7 upgrade schedule is also set: testnet activation on October 6, official launch on November 5, with block time reduced from 75 seconds to 25 seconds.
Technically, ZEC broke below the key support at 1500, the 14-day RSI fell to 53.41, indicating weakened buying pressure. The key support below is at 1350-1400, with resistance above at 1420-1450. Imagine working diligently at a job your whole life.
Decades of sweat, slowly accumulating wealth.
But currency can be continuously issued, and inflation is that invisible thief quietly diluting the fruits of your twenty years of labor.
All fiat currency systems have this weakness: there is no ceiling on the money supply.
What makes Bitcoin most special is that its total supply is locked at 21 million coins. It has no printing press; no one can arbitrarily increase its supply.
Many people invest regularly in BTC essentially to combat the wealth dilution caused by unlimited money printing.
$BTC Neither rising nor falling can gain momentum, how long will this market consolidation last?
$BTC surged again today, reaching around 84300, but the familiar script played out once more: a spike, a loss of momentum, and a return to around 83000.
The support between 83000-82500 is holding firm below, while resistance at 85000 is suffocating above. Bulls and bears are tugging back and forth within these few thousand points, trading T to numbness; ironically, the most helpless stance now is to hold tight.
$ETH, however, is clearly stronger, climbing to 2720 before pulling back to 2680, then quickly stabilizing near 2690, with a smaller drop compared to BTC.
But don’t get excited too soon.
The more it resists falling, the more you need to watch out for a bull trap.
If ETH starts attracting chasing buyers and the chips are mostly accumulated, the real scythe might just fall.
Next, keep a close eye on 2650-2630; as long as it doesn’t break below, expect continued consolidation; if it breaks, then redefine the direction.#比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出
Brothers, there has been an extremely subtle divergence in capital flows. Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen net inflows for 9 consecutive trading days, accumulating about $3 billion, completely reversing the months-long mid-term outflow. BlackRock's IBIT alone absorbed nearly 50% of the inflows.
But on the Ethereum side, there was a net outflow of $2.8 million on September 29, ending a 7-day streak of inflows. The next day, outflows expanded directly to $59.6 million, with Fidelity's FETH and Grayscale's ETH each withdrawing over $26 million. What does this mean? Institutions have rebalanced their positions between BTC and ETH. ETH had surged earlier, so some funds chose to take profits and shifted to increase BTC holdings.
But note a key detail: the average holding cost for Bitcoin ETFs is about $81,700, and BTC is now near $84,000, so fund investors have just moved from unrealized losses to unrealized gains. In the profit zone, investor behavior changes—some want to lock in profits, others want to double down, making the battle very intense.
Whether ETH outflows are a trend depends on the next couple of days. If outflows continue, it’s rotation; if it’s just a single-day pullback, it’s a shakeout. Don’t rush to conclusions, don’t give up your chips during a shakeout, and going with the flow is the way to go! $NVDA New AI agent partnerships continue to emerge, but why does Nvidia's contract still depend on cash flow?
OKX NVDAUSDT perpetual quote is about 230.36, with a 24-hour low around 227.54; this is the contract price, not the Nasdaq spot stock price. New chips and application collaborations can boost demand expectations, but order fulfillment, delivery, and customer payments ultimately determine profit quality.
If the 1-hour chart holds above 227.54 and breaks through the near-term high with volume, I will raise my confidence in the realization of expectations; if it falls below the low, or if revenue growth is accompanied by pressure from accounts receivable and capital expenditures, then beware that valuation may be running ahead of cash flow.🔷 El Salvador denies abandoning $BTC
• Bloomberg: El Salvador is abandoning BTC in favor of stablecoins
• ONBTC: this is fake
• Sivar platform by Modveon on Base for stablecoins
• Modveon: betting on stablecoins for transfers but will continue accumulating BTC
• ONBTC reserve: 7,790 BTC (~$652M) — 5th place
• 2025: IMF demanded to stop mining and accumulation
🧠 El Salvador denies Bloomberg. The 7,790 BTC reserve remains. But the focus is on stablecoins for transfers
❓ Evolution or hidden abandonment?👇$BTC $ETH Who would have thought, holding the same bullish logic, opening long positions simultaneously on BTC and ETH, yet the market directly plays out a tale of two extremes. The preference of capital really never distributes evenly.
BTC perpetual | Full position 50X long
Entry at 83346.347, floating profit +354.01U, return rate +21.23%
ETH perpetual | Full position 50X long
Entry at 2705.49, floating loss -88.49U, return rate -16.35%
BTC steadily climbs higher to take profits, while ETH weakens alone and gets trapped.
Old perception shattered: don’t assume that when BTC rallies, ETH will definitely follow.
In the current market, even the same direction can diverge; choosing the right coin is far more critical than just choosing the right direction. #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出 Today is National Day 🇨🇳 Wishing everyone a peaceful holiday — and may everyone's trading screens stay green 📈📈📈 A few days ago, I finally closed my $ZEC position. Life has been busy lately, so I haven't rushed into any new trades. When I'm not trading, I like to review my previous mistakes. The biggest question lately: Why do I keep holding losing trades without having a clear exit plan? I've repeated this cycle several times. I cut the position, then the market reverses shortly afterward.Citibank just raised BTC to $113,000, but large funds have been continuously selling around $84,000. I actually want to watch this battle more closely.
Today, BTC shows two completely opposite signals.
On one hand, Citibank raised BTC's 12-month target directly from $82,000 to $113,000.
On the other hand, OKX order book has been showing large sell orders continuously.
Around $83,500–$83,900, there have been multiple large sell orders today, some tens of thousands and even exceeding $1.5 million.
So I won’t just chase BTC because institutions suddenly turn bullish.
I want to see if these sell orders can actually push the price down.
My current plan:
Focus on observing support around $83,500–$84,000.
As long as this area holds and BTC climbs back above $84,500, I remain bullish.
First target is $85,500–$86,000.
If $86,000 breaks out with volume, then look toward around $87,500.
But if $83,300 breaks down effectively and the rebound fails to recover, this short-term bullish plan is canceled.
Observe $83,500–$84,000
Confirm strength at $84,500
First target $85,500–$86,000
Second target $87,500
Invalid if $83,300 breaks
Institutions targeting $113,000 is certainly eye-catching.
But for me, the only truly useful question tonight is:
After million-dollar sell orders keep hitting the market, is there still anyone willing to buy around $84,000?
If these sell orders can’t push the price down, that’s the real signal bulls should pay attention to.
$BTC DogeOS public beta launched, but DOGE dropped about 3% to a low of around 0.0935, so I won't chase for now.
Noticed: OKX current price is about 0.0945, 24h high about 0.0982, low about 0.0935, down about −3.2% from open, volume is still there, but the buying pressure hasn't pushed the price back up, the positive news got hit first.
CoinDesk wrote today that DogeOS has opened an Ethereum-compatible public testnet, allowing developers to use test DOGE for trading, lending, and stablecoin applications.
However, no date has been given for the mainnet launch yet; early stages still rely on selected operators and a security committee, and miners' actual validation is still stuck on the unimplemented Core upgrade proposal.
Also, Bitwise Dogecoin ETF's last trading day is set for 10/14; the previous Dogechain once surged past millions in TVL, but now on-chain DeFi is almost empty, showing that just having a story isn't enough.
I think the narrative adds value for the long-term story, but since the price hasn't followed and the launch timeline is still blank, don't aggressively chase the short-term positive news; first see if the price acknowledges it.
If it fails, watch for a break below about 0.0935 to continue down, or wait for a candle to stand back above about 0.0982 before considering chasing.
Are you waiting for the mainnet timeline before watching, or do you think the testnet is enough catalyst to buy directly?

After a surge, the price was directly smashed down, showing a clear surge and breakdown pattern on the 5-minute chart. The previous high of 0.7272 has become a strong short-term resistance, with support around 0.6742 below. The lowest hit was 0.6712, indicating a rapid exhaustion of short-term bullish momentum.
Short entry logic
Price rebounds touching the 0.70-0.71 resistance zone is the short-selling battle position, which is the previous surge and pullback dense trading area. There are many trapped positions here, making it difficult for the rebound to break through at once. This is a resistance test for shorting. Do not chase a fully fallen market; entering short after the drop is over has a poor risk-reward ratio. Wait for the rebound to retest resistance before entering.
Stop loss setting
Place the stop loss above 0.7272, which is the high point of this rebound. Once the price stands above this level again, it means the short logic has failed, and the market will return upward. You must exit and not hold on stubbornly.
Take profit target
The first target is the nearby support around 0.6742, where you can reduce most of your position to lock in profits. If the support is directly broken downward, the remaining position can continue to look for further downside extension.
This coin’s AI-related hype is extremely volatile, with frequent spikes. If the BTC market suddenly strengthens, it will drive altcoins to rebound collectively, easily triggering short stop losses. Avoid heavy positions. The Martingale adding mode is very risky; once the market reverses upward, continuous adding will quickly amplify losses. Strictly control the maximum adding limit.
$GRASS #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 Are you still alive today?
Let's talk about how to survive in the ruthless crypto world.
Do you want to get rich overnight? If you have such thoughts in the crypto world, then congratulations, you are already out.
In 2024, on another account of mine, I dreamed of getting rich overnight, maxing out all high leverage, fantasizing about turning 1,000 into 10,000, and 10,000 into 100,000. Pure gambling. I didn't even go to my day job for a week, and ended up losing two years' hard-earned money, 150,000 RMB, in that week. Since then, I started a cooling-off period.
After continuous exploration, I summarized the following points:
1: Do not go all in, absolutely never put your entire position in. Even if you know the direction is right, there is no absolute certainty in crypto. As long as you dare to go all in, the market makers dare to liquidate you.
2: Patience. Once you open a position, you must be patient. Never expect to make money immediately after buying. Fluctuations up and down are normal. If there are no fluctuations, be cautious. So once you open a trade, patiently wait.
3: Discipline. You must set stop-loss and take-profit targets for yourself and strictly follow them. Once daily targets are reached, stop trading. Whether it's stop-loss or take-profit, you must strictly execute.
4: Cut losses to survive. When you know the direction is wrong, you must be willing to cut losses. If you don't cut losses when you're wrong, liquidation may be waiting for you. So you must have the courage to cut losses to survive.
5: Cooling-off period. Give yourself one day a week as a cooling-off day. On this day, do not open any positions, not even open the trading software. Without a cooling-off period, your brain will get overheated and you won't be able to think calmly, leading to mistakes.
All of the above are lessons learned from my painful experience.
Now my goal is to open ten trades a day, with 5u take-profit and 50u stop-loss per trade. If one trade hits stop-loss, I will not trade for the rest of the day. $SOL The SOL market is very weak right now, it feels like a drop could happen at any moment.
It has tried to break 120 several times but can't get through; every time it just goes up, it quickly loses momentum, and the selling pressure is strong.
The main support to watch below is at 115; as long as it breaks this, a downtrend will form.
Below that, you can see the 110-108 area.
$BTC Bitcoin has also been fluctuating all day. It made a move up to 84300 today but couldn't hold.
It is still in a range-bound state with no clear trend, mainly between the 83000-82500 range below.
Only a breakout of this key level could lead to a trend forming. $LIT ZEC 20x Short Grid, a Bloody Lesson｜Shorting 20x Leverage Requires 20x Capital and Respect
Sharing my ZEC perpetual short grid strategy.
Running for 41 days, 20x leverage shorting, preset price range 550–1100.
Within the range, it oscillated back and forth, the grid executed 1016 arbitrage trades, and the grid profit earned 57.89 USDT.
But the market broke through the upper limit directly, rallying all the way to 1397.
The grid mechanism keeps adding short positions as the price rises, unmatched floating losses directly devour all profits, total return -1118.45%.
Even though the grid keeps taking small profits during oscillations, once a strong one-sided rally comes, all profits instantly vanish, and the principal suffers heavy losses.
I used to misunderstand short grid trading: I thought as long as I was bearish long-term and set the range properly, I could steadily harvest profits.
I overlooked the harshest fact: the premise for grid profit is that the price stays within the range. Once a one-sided trend breaks out, the grid will keep adding positions against the trend, accelerating losses.
The core problem was my unwillingness to admit mistakes.
When the price broke the grid’s upper limit, the trend had completely deviated from my expectation, but I didn’t immediately shut down the strategy or stop loss and exit.
I kept fantasizing that the price would fall back into the preset range, stubbornly holding through the one-sided rally.
A deep insight:
Shorting with 20x leverage requires matching 20x respect.
Just because the account has margin doesn’t mean you can withstand unlimited one-sided moves.
Leverage amplifies your small profits during oscillations, but one-sided adverse moves will multiply and devour your principal. The first time I heard about virtual currency,
I thought it was similar to game coins.
Later, a friend pulled me into a group chat.
Every day, I saw them shouting about rises and falls.
I got itchy hands and opened an account myself.
The first purchase was $BTC.
After buying, I stared at the screen in a daze.
If it rose a bit, I wanted to sell.
If it dropped a bit, I cursed myself for being reckless.
I started holding $ETH later on.
I held it for a long time not because I understood it,
but because I was too lazy to mess around.
I also chased $SOL in between,
but ended up buying at the peak.
During that time, I couldn't even eat well.
Looking back now, it was really unnecessary.
I didn't make much money,
but I learned a lot of lessons.
Don't borrow money to play.
Don't throw your living expenses into it.
Just listen to others' trading calls,
but when you really act, you have to take responsibility yourself.
The market is like this:
The more impatient you are, the more it goes against you.
Now I just play with a small position.
If I earn, I treat myself to a chicken leg.
If I lose, I consider it tuition.
Being able to sleep well is better than anything.
This circle has many opportunities and many traps.

#伊朗收到美国反提案，美伊分歧仍在 Big Brother Maji's portfolio has been updated again, with an exposure reaching 150 million USD, and three orders have rarely all turned positive together. Compared to a few days ago, the situation has clearly improved. $BTC is fully leveraged 40x with 369 coins, holding more than last time. Entry price at 83,799.60, unrealized profit +53,100 USD, liquidation price 70,930.78, the cushion is thick enough, the role as ballast stone remains unchanged. Maintaining such a safe distance with 40x leveraIf DOGE can't reclaim $0.0954, there's little reason to chase the current bounce. A break of $0.09347 would put
On the upside, I wouldn't consider the spike repaired until DOGE can reclaim $0.0961 and eventually challenge $0.09816 with expanding volume.
Given the shrinking volume, patience is more useful here than predicting the next candle. The market needs to show whether $0.09347 is actually defended or merely holding.#RateHikeDelayedJobsNext #BTCInflowETHOutflow #USTreasuryYieldsClimb $ETH open interest has reached a terrifying approximately $2.4 billion

In comparison, $BTC open interest is only about $1.593 billion

It can be seen that the shorts above are very crowded, which is actually quite dangerous at this time, as it is very easy for a short squeeze chain reaction to occur
Moreover, it is obvious that there are more long accounts than short accounts, but the position size is less than the shorts. This may be because short accounts have spot hedging, so I still believe the longs have the advantage and firmly remain bullish #伊朗收到美国反提案，美伊分歧仍在 #SEC主席Atkins称将推进链上募资规则明确化 #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 Capital Flow: ETF Ends Nine Consecutive Days of Net Inflows, Institutional Buying Power Plummets
① ETF Net Outflow of $148.7 Million Ends Nine Consecutive Days of Inflows
According to Farside Investors monitoring, Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $148.7 million yesterday, with Fidelity's FBTC outflowing about $58 million, and Ethereum ETFs simultaneously experiencing a net outflow of $59.6 million.
② Institutional Buying Power Shrinks Sharply
Bitfinex Alpha report estimates that by the close on September 29, the multiple of ETF absorption of miners' daily new issuance plunged from 25.6x to 1.8x, while analysts believe a 5x absorption rate (about $190 million/day) is needed to offset new supply.
③ Derivatives Market Risk Accumulates
The open interest (OI) of Bitcoin-denominated contracts has not expanded in sync with price increases; the narrowing futures basis premium weakens arbitrage incentives. In the past 24 hours, OI shrank by 3.04%, while price only slightly rose—this "price rise accompanied by OI decline" phenomenon usually indicates short covering rather than new long positions, suggesting limited short-term upward momentum.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出 $LIT This is the candlestick chart of LIT, and I shorted it at the 2.5 level.
From a fundamental long-term perspective, I still have a bearish view: token unlocking pressure, overvaluation, and ecosystem dependence on Robinhood. In the long run, value reversion is a high-probability event.
But being bearish in the long term ≠ being able to short it right now, and this is the big pitfall I fell into.
After opening the short, the market kept rising, and the floating loss kept increasing.
When I was losing, I stubbornly held onto the conclusion of "long-term bearish" and refused to admit I was wrong.
I kept telling myself: this is just short-term speculation, it will fall back sooner or later.
Ignoring the current trend and capital sentiment, I stubbornly resisted the short-term counter-trend with long-term fundamentals.
Looking at the market clearly, there were multiple opportunities to reduce positions on rebounds and admit mistakes to exit,
but I was unwilling to admit: this short position was entered at the wrong time.
I treated my long-term view as a free pass for short-term market moves.
Two completely independent things:
✅ My judgment: there are hidden risks in the long-term fundamentals, and value reversion is highly likely in the future
❌ Does not equal: the current market will immediately fall according to my expectations
The market is a voting machine in the short term; when capital sentiment comes, it can keep pushing prices up, even if fundamentals have flaws.
Even if I am right about the final direction, if the entry timing is wrong, leverage will still cause liquidation and big losses.
This time taught me a lesson:
Being right about the big picture doesn’t mean the trade will be profitable.
Admitting a mistake doesn’t overturn my long-term bearish view on LIT.
It just means admitting this trade was mistimed, and the trend is temporarily on the opponent’s side."Price increase + Coin-margined OI (Open Interest) decline" is a classic deleveraging rally phenomenon in the derivatives market.
Simply put: the market's driving force shifts from "derivatives leverage fund speculation" to "real buying driven by spot/low-leverage funds."
What does this structure imply for the market going forward?
1. It greatly reduces the risk of a "long squeeze" (chain liquidation of long positions).
When the market is filled with high leverage, prices are prone to a liquidation cascade—small declines trigger high-leverage long liquidations, which further push prices down, triggering the next layer of long liquidations, causing severe volatility.
Currently, coin-margined OI has dropped to its lowest since March, meaning the "flammable dry wood" of high leverage in the market has been cleared out. Even if there is a short-term pullback, it is unlikely to trigger systemic chain liquidations, and the pullback magnitude is usually milder.
2. Market resilience increases, and volatility may narrow in the short term.
Leverage amplifies market volatility. With very low leverage, the intraday "up and down wicks" and intense liquidation zones of speculative funds will noticeably decrease, and price movements will more closely reflect macro liquidity, spot buying strength, and news-driven factors.Wake up: $HYPE rose 4% to 89, just 8% below the 98 high.
But on October 6, 9.92 million tokens worth about $875 million will be unlocked for core contributors, and whales are moving assets to exchanges.
The unlock exemption applies to "vesting completion" but does not exempt selling pressure; unlocking by core contributors means new circulation, and increased exchange deposits signal impending sell-off.
Only 5 days until unlock, about 30% priced in. If whales keep moving bricks, the unlock day could easily create a golden pit.
The unlock calendar is harsher than the candlestick chart; position capped at 30%. Hold at 85, reduce positions if it breaks 82. HYPE's candlestick chart looks great, but the unlock calendar is ruthless.$XRP has been consolidating around the 1.50 level for five days—not the price that's being worn down, but retail investors' patience, because institutions are quietly accumulating.
1. Institutional channels are silently expanding: According to CoinShares weekly report, $XRP had a net inflow of $92.3 million last week, ranking third across the entire industry.
Price hasn't moved, but funds are flowing; this kind of divergence usually precedes a price correction.
2. Box consolidation: Between 1.49 and 1.54, it has been sideways for five trading days, with volatility compressed to this month's lowest level. Next is the time to choose a direction.
And since most of its supply ceiling has been priced in, I lean towards an upward move.
3. Positive factors like RLUSD, Brazil, and Coinbase collateral are slowly materializing, but none are strong enough to be a trigger—the missing piece is a weekly candle with volume expansion.
My view: The five-day sideways consolidation is not in vain; the direction choice is near. For the first wave, I’m targeting 1.6 The signals released by institutional players are quite mixed. CertiK's single-month loss of 760 million has pushed security risks to the highest level this year. The EU's continued inquiries into Binance's MiCA license keep suppressing sentiment around centralized exchanges. Such negative factors only impact short-term liquidity and do not affect the liquidation game of independent public chains.
MOVR has already broken through a key resistance on TradingView, with the MACD golden cross established and RSI entering overbought territory, but trading volume has not shrunk, indicating active buying is still chasing prices. CoinGlass shows a massive short liquidation cluster around 2.85; after pushing the price to 2.958, as long as the upper integer level is broken again, short liquidations will fuel further moves. Just finished a trade climbing the ladder, glanced at the phone quote—chasing higher at this position can't be done blindly.
Entry is placed in the 2.88 to 2.93 pullback range without breaking it; stop loss defense is set at 2.79, and if broken, accept the loss. Take profit first targets 3.12, then reduce positions at 3.25. The risk lies in overbought correction; if the 15-minute close falls below 2.85, the short liquidation logic fails, and no entry is made.

#Anthropic披露845亿美元SpaceX算力协议
@OKX星球 $BTC Why do we have to focus on US employment? Why does whether ordinary Americans can find jobs determine the rise and fall of Bitcoin?
👀 Because macroeconomics is the "denominator" of pricing.
If employment data is strong, the Fed's rate hike expectations will heat up, US Treasury yields will soar, directly blocking the upside space for risk assets. Now that employment data is weakening, it means rate hike expectations can ease a bit, which is a brief breathing opportunity for the crypto space.
#加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出 #美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 U.S. Treasury yields hit a new high since 2002, but the probability of a rate hike is falling — this divergence is more dangerous than the rate hike itself
Let's start with the numbers. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield is now 5.303%, the highest since 2002, having touched 5.33% intraday. The 30-year is at 5.64%, the 20-year at 5.68%, all at 24-year highs. The 10-year yield has risen 0.53 percentage points in the past month.
By the old logic, such high long-term rates mean the market is betting on a rate hike. But that's not the case.
At the same time, the probability of a rate hike in October is only 38% — down from 51% before the PCE data release. The market generally expects the next rate hike to be pushed to December.
Yields are rising, but rate hike expectations are falling. This is the real cause for concern.
There are two reasons. In the short term, core PCE rose only 0.2% month-over-month in August (expected 0.3%), indicating inflation is indeed cooling, and recent rate hike bets are retreating. But the long end remains elevated due to two factors: first, oil prices — Brent has surpassed $100 (100.14, +2.15% intraday), WTI at 91.49, so energy inflation is still unresolved; second, the outlook for U.S. fiscal and debt conditions, combined with bond repo underperformance — this is term premium, not policy expectations.
In other words: the short end is trading "Will the Fed hike?" while the long end is trading "Can the U.S. still pay or not?"
What does this structure mean for crypto? Very straightforward — with the risk-free rate stuck above 5%, the valuation ceiling for risk assets is effectively sealed. BTC at 83,907, ETH at 2,704, ZEC at 1,408 (-2.46%), total market cap at 2.88 trillion. It's not that no one wants to buy; the cost of money is just too high, and no one dares to leverage.
My judgment: as long as the 30-year yield stays above 5.6%, don't expect a trending market for BTC; range-bound grinding is the main theme. What can truly open up space is not a delayed rate hike, but a drop in oil prices.
A question: do you think this round of long-term yields is overestimating fiscal risk, or is it pricing in a stagflation scenario in advance? Let's discuss in the comments.

$BTC $ETH $ZEC
(Personal opinion, not investment advice.) The big player's settlement orders have been exposed again, three swing trades, with highly consistent strategies.
$ETH positioned at 2,559.64, sold half at 2,667.61, using 10x full leverage. Held for 18 days, coin price rose 4.2%, book profit +37.13%, pocketed 58 coins. Peak was 1,953 coins, reduced by 1,562 this time, base position still held.
$BTC long opened at 82,160.3, fully closed on September 30 at 83,582.4, holding for 9 days. Spot only rose 1.7%, leverage amplified to +16.13%, earning 262,417U (262,000 USD). Heavy position of 198 coins pressed in, exited as soon as target was hit, no hesitation to quit.
$SOL entered on September 18 at 113.16, fully closed on September 24 at 114.67, just 6 days. Market movement was small, relying on a volume of 100,000-110,000 coins with 10x leverage, earning 154,052U (154,000 USD), return +12.37%. This trade benefited from volume dividends.
The commonality is one: fixed 10x leverage, only swing trades with confidence, take profits when good, never stubbornly hold through losses. #加息预期推迟，9月非农成下一关键 #比特币ETF连续9日流入，ETH转流出 #美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 $ZEC Where to go next
ZEC, 1410. It has dropped all the way down from 1599, without any decent rebound.
But what really chills me to the bone is not the candlestick chart, but these three things below.
First, Grayscale's ZCSH ETF had a single-day net outflow of $30.2 million yesterday, setting the largest single-day outflow record since the ETF was established. Grayscale keeps saying ZEC can rise, institutions are bullish on the surface, but funds are retreating behind the scenes. Tell me, who should we trust?
Second, the whales are running. A whale who built a position at $425 sold all the last 25,001 ZEC a few days ago, pocketing $37.84 million, with profits exceeding $27 million, without looking back. Another whale placed a sell order of 15,000 ZEC on Hyperliquid, priced $30 below market price, directly discounting to dump. Those who made $27 million are running, and those at a loss are also running. Guess what they saw?
Third, there is still a lot of room below. The ZEC daily EMA5, 10, and 20 are all diverging downward, and after the MACD death cross, the green bars are getting longer. The 1372 level has already bottomed out; next time, watch 1300 or even lower.
In the short term, my view is to move the stop loss down to 1450, with a target directly at 1300.
Even if it rebounds, this trade will definitely not lose. If it continues to fall, let the profits run.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC #美参议院提出新加密税收法案ADAPT
The boss has something to say
The US Senate has introduced the ADAPT Act, a new crypto tax law. Here are the key points. Buying goods and services with stablecoins does not trigger capital gains or losses. Wash sale rules are extended to digital assets. Gas fees under $10 are tax-exempt. It also covers tax treatment for staking, lending, and ETF pledging.
I believe this bill moves the tax system toward compliance.
Tax exemption for daily stablecoin payments opens payment scenarios for USDT and USDC. In the future, buying things with stablecoins won’t require calculating capital gains, making them function more like money.
The extension of wash sale rules is a tightening. This rule existed for stocks before, and now it applies to digital assets as well. Short-term selling and immediate repurchasing can no longer be used for tax loss harvesting.
Tax exemption for small gas fees is friendly to high-frequency on-chain operations. Network fees under $10 do not require recognizing gains or losses, reducing interaction costs.
The bill is still in the legislative stage and not yet effective, so it has no direct short-term impact on coin prices. But in the long run, clearer crypto tax rules will encourage institutional participation, which is a slow-moving factor.
I took profits on my long BTC positions at 82,800 twice and 83,000 once, and now I’m in cash. The key event is the nonfarm payroll at 8:30 PM tomorrow. ADP employment was 90,000, higher than expected; if nonfarm is also strong, rate hike expectations will rise, putting pressure on BTC. If it weakens, the probability of no rate change in October is higher. Long-term US Treasury yields are above 5.6%, so macro pressure remains. I won’t bet on direction before the nonfarm data; I’ll wait for the data to settle before finding a position. $BTC $ETH $ZEC $BTC ETF data for Q3 is worth revisiting.
The US spot BTC ETF saw a net inflow of about $6.34 billion in Q3.
In contrast, Q2 still had a net outflow of about $5 billion.
Between the two quarters, the capital swing exceeded $11 billion.
Even more interesting are the monthly figures:
July: +$172 million
August: +$3.52 billion
September: +$2.65 billion
This indicates that institutional funds have indeed returned.
But the pace has already started to slow down.
On the last trading day of September, BTC ETF experienced a net outflow of about $149 million, ending the previous nine consecutive days of net inflows.
So now I wouldn’t simply interpret this as “ETF frantically buying BTC.”
A more accurate way to put it is:
Funds have returned, but the next thing to watch is whether they can continue to accelerate.
If ETFs continue to maintain net inflows in Q4, the capital structure of BTC will be completely different from the first half of the year.
What’s truly worth monitoring now is whether ETF funds can continue to be absorbed.Don't short $CT! I shorted a position, and it surged 15% in one minute and immediately blew up. I thought it would go to zero like cp when it launched, but it seems to have entered a different market trend. Its manipulation is a bit like a bot market maker, then once liquidity is sufficient, it pumps, the rest of the time it grinds down, then pumps again!
It's disgusting. This kind of coin is dangerous even with 1x leverage! Even 1x leverage can blow you up!$ZEC always rises and falls ahead of time. This thing often pulls back before Bitcoin's correction and rallies before Bitcoin's start. This market maker is really cunning. This time it pulled back early again. Does this mean Bitcoin still has some room to fall? Worth keeping an eye on 😂There are always things that require courage (Part 3)
As of October 1, the crypto market is in a phase of macro favorable conditions competing with high-level selling pressure. The Fear & Greed Index is 74, indicating "Greed" sentiment. BTC is around $83,700–84,000, ETH about $2,690, BNB about $769, SOL down nearly 1% to $119, XRP around $1.5. Over 78,000 people liquidated in 24 hours, totaling $291 million.
On-chain: An ancient ETH whale from 2015 moved 133,300 ETH (about $356 million); Hyperliquid team redeemed 3.75 million HYPE (about $338 million), planning OTC sale to institutions; MetaMask responded to infrastructure security incident by exiting affected staking nodes, wallet not directly threatened; an ether.fi node operator had issues, WEETH is risk-free.
Institutions: Citi raised BTC 12-month target to $113,000, ETH to $3,028, expecting $5 billion inflow over the next 12 months.
In October, beware of "Rektober": On October 10 last year, tariff threats triggered the largest liquidation in history of $19 billion. Watch US non-farm payrolls, CPI, Fed decisions; South Korea's seizure rules, UK FCA licenses; SUI, EIGEN, ENA unlocking; Solana Alpenglow upgrade. The 10-year US Treasury yield near 5.3% suppresses risk appetite, BTC faces strong resistance near $85,600.
