Don't just focus on the price, look at the bloodbath in the underlying data.
With the average transaction cost on Ethereum L2 dropping below 1 cent across the board, the on-chain daily throughput has surged to a historic high of 3,400 TPS. But this also means: Layer 2 solutions relying solely on high fees without real use cases are rapidly heading towards death.
Infrastructure is now lightning-fast and as cheap as water, so which application do you bet will capture this massive liquidity next? 👇

Today's comment Q: Which red line in your trading rules must never be crossed?
There are indeed many new tricks in the crypto space, and many traps as well. Just like the recently discussed high APR deposit schemes, opaque redemption rules that the project team can arbitrarily change, and other unequal practices, or founders with rug pulls or other bad records, which can lead to users' principal being misappropriated at any time, even outright scams. All these factors are red lines that must not be crossed, but if I had to prioritize, I would choose to protect the principal.
Because if the funds I use for trading are originally meant for living expenses, family, and debts, losing that money could trigger a series of huge and irreversible consequences. If lucky, I might earn some unexpected profits, but I do not want to gamble away my or my family's future. This is absolutely untouchable. I also remind all traders that as long as there are ways to make money in crypto, it’s not just about going all-in; gradually refine your trading skills, look for other Alpha opportunities, or set up in advance and wait for the next Beta. 🤑Just came across some data that's a bit surprising: BTC spot ETFs have been attracting inflows for 9 consecutive days, but in the past few days there have been continuous net outflows totaling about 170 million; ETH has also seen outflows for 3 consecutive days, with a single-day withdrawal of 55.4 million on October 1st. Previously, funds were moving independently, but now they are cooling down simultaneously, and the enthusiasm has clearly dropped.
Coinbase also mentioned that BTC profit-taking recently surged to a yearly high, and spot demand is slowing down. Honestly, I think this isn't institutions completely exiting, but more like normal profit-taking and waiting after a rally; short-term sentiment is indeed cooling off.
In terms of the market, BTC has pulled back from highs but is still oscillating at a high level; the structure is intact, but once the funds tighten, the momentum to push higher weakens; ETH is even weaker, with continuous outflows, and its rebounds are always half-hearted, increasingly out of sync with BTC's rhythm.
Key levels: BTC support at 84500-85000, resistance at 87000-88000; ETH support at 2550-2580, resistance at 2700-2750. Personally, I think BTC can be lightly long near the support area with a stop loss below 84000; for ETH, wait for support before considering, with a stop loss at 2520.
Tonight at 20:30 the non-farm payrolls report is coming, expected to add 80,000-90,000 jobs, with unemployment steady at 4.1%. Better-than-expected data could reignite rate hike expectations, putting pressure on risk assets; weaker-than-expected data would provide some relief. My personal feeling is that regardless of the data outcome, volatility will definitely be significant, but funds are already tightening and macro factors are about to hit hard again. For now, I've reduced my position, watching reactions lightly, and will absolutely not chase highs. Will decide next steps after the data is released.Affected by today's low non-farm payroll expectations
Bitcoin's buying volume surged significantly today
It rallied to 86888 at noon and then started to pull back
The price is always supported around 86000
It seems all funds are preparing for a new high sprint
However, there is obvious selling pressure
After the high of 86888, a secondary high spike appeared at 86616
Subsequent bullish momentum weakened, selling pressure continued to release, and buyers waited to catch the dip
Tonight's non-farm payrolls will most likely first meet expectations and rise, pushing the price up, then suddenly start selling off, stacking heavy distributionGm! Three consecutive bullish candles are not a bull market pass, just a temporary emotional leverage.
1️⃣【Crypto】BTC and ETH rose nearly 3% during the holiday, the chart looks like a sideways consolidation followed by a breakout upward. But holiday markets are thin, it doesn't take much buying power to push the price up. The strength you see might just be sellers taking a temporary break.
2️⃣【Capital】BTC and ETH spot ETFs are simultaneously seeing outflows, cooling down capital enthusiasm. Prices go up, but incremental funds flow out; this divergence is more worth watching than the price increase. Without sustained buying, breakouts can easily be fake moves.
3️⃣【Institutions】Strategy is buying more BTC again, multiple treasuries are increasing holdings simultaneously. Institutional long-term allocation is still ongoing, but that is based on treasury cycles, not to encourage people to "hold on" just because of three days and three points.
4️⃣【Altcoins】ZEC hits a new high this round, approaching $1700. It was weak a few days ago, today it surged the most along with the rally. Coins that fell a lot rebound fast, but that doesn't mean they got stronger. Sideways breakouts and holiday rallies are two different things.

Recently, ETH has been oscillating repeatedly between 2630-2748, a typical "wolf is coming" market, where the market forms an inertia perception: a dip is met with support, and a rally encounters resistance. Once most traders solidify this judgment, the market will break expectations and surge upward with volume to challenge 2800.
Long-short data: The overall ETH long-short ratio slightly favors the bulls, with open interest continuously rising and a large number of short-term short positions pressing at the 2800 resistance level. When the price breaks above 2800, it will trigger concentrated stop-losses on short positions, rapidly pushing the price higher; however, profit-taking from bulls at high levels will emerge simultaneously, and after the stop-loss event ends, selling pressure will immediately appear, causing the price to rally and then fall back.
News: The US non-farm payroll data will be released tonight at 20:30. The market expects an increase of 90K jobs and an unemployment rate holding at 4.1%. If the data meets expectations, the probability of a Fed rate hike in October will remain balanced at 50.4%/49.6%. Short-term bullish factors will push the price to test 2800, but without strong fundamental support to sustain the high level, funds will exit after the positive news is realized.
This round is only a short-term impulse breakout, not a trend reversal. After the rally and pullback, the subsequent deep correction target is below 2500. BTC will move down in sync, triggering a chain liquidation of many long positions. Once the correction is fully completed, combined with year-end capital effects, the market will start a new round of rally. #9月非农今晚公布，加息预期成焦点 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 What's going on today??? Damn, what the hell is this?
Damn it!
Do you feel like the market has directly fallen into a sideways grinding mode? The strong momentum from the morning's surge is completely exhausted, $BTC is stuck oscillating above 86000, the long-short ratio has directly reversed, the short ratio surged to 77%, and a large number of people have turned bearish.
Holding a small real position long at a low of 83819.6, currently with nearly 9% floating profit. For now, no choice but to hold without closing or adding to the position chasing higher.
This position is very delicate; the bulls' confidence is hit by the surge and pullback, while the bears dare to enter heavily at the high level. Don't assume that a high short ratio means it will definitely fall; the market often harvests the consensus of the majority.
On the hourly chart, there is no clear breakout, nor strength to continue making new highs, just back and forth stop-loss sweeps. Many panic and rush to short after seeing the surge and pullback, easily getting taken out by a sudden spike.
Don't rush to heavily bet on one side now. The longer the sideways consolidation lasts, the more violent the subsequent breakout will be. Better to wait for the direction to emerge before acting, rather than getting slapped around in the middle of the shakeout.
Protecting your current profits is more important than chasing huge gains.
Follow me, and I'll help you understand more about the market.

Market observation only, not investment adviceNonfarm payrolls are just the warm-up; CPI is the decisive battle
Tonight's nonfarm payrolls release has the market sentiment tense again. BTC hovers around 86,000, ETH around 2724, everyone is waiting for a direction. But the Fed currently focuses more on prices, with CPI first, PCE second, and nonfarm payrolls relegated to the back. Whether employment is a bit stronger or weaker, it’s hard to change the policy path alone; cooling inflation is the real switch for rate cut expectations.
Last month's nonfarm exceeded expectations, and after a brief dip, the market still recovered. When PCE softens, the market reacts even more strongly. So don’t treat tonight’s nonfarm as the final verdict: good data with a pullback isn’t necessarily bad; bad data with a spike shouldn’t get you overly excited. The real wait is for the next CPI.
$BTC around 86,000 is reasonable; don’t change your judgment based on one night’s data. $ETH near 2724, I’m keeping my short position but don’t expect big gains from nonfarm, waiting for CPI. Tesla and $GOOGL long positions remain untouched; fundamentals haven’t changed, macro is just an interlude. Nonfarm is the warm-up, CPI is the main event, don’t exhaust your energy on the warm-up. #9月非农今晚公布，加息预期成焦点 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #NEAR生态协议遭攻击致币价下跌近10%
NEAR really had some bad luck here.
Just two days after launching the ETF, the ecosystem got hacked. On October 1st, the cross-chain protocol NEAR Intents in the NEAR ecosystem was confirmed to be attacked. The vulnerability was in the interaction between Omni deposits/withdrawals and the NEAR Intents smart contract, resulting in an immediate loss of 3.8 million USD. The team responded fairly quickly, fixed the vulnerability, and promised full compensation. The underlying network was unaffected and not impacted.
Once the news broke, NEAR's price plunged, dropping nearly 10% at one point, falling below 5 USD. But isn't it strange? Money was still flowing into the ETF, with a cumulative net inflow of 57.7 million USD in the first three trading days after listing. The price was hammered by hackers, but institutional funds did not flee.
What impact does this have?
First, cross-chain and DeFi security issues are never-ending. Previously, the Liquid sidechain lost 4,000 BTC, and now the NEAR ecosystem has been hit again. Users must always be cautious when their funds are in cross-chain protocols. This doesn't mean NEAR Protocol itself has problems, but if any part of the ecosystem collapses, market sentiment will definitely shake.
Second, there is a short-term divergence between ETF funds and the coin price. The ETF is still seeing inflows, indicating institutions are focused on the long-term compliant channel and NEAR's fundamentals, not this 3.8 million USD short-term hack incident. But retail investors seeing the price crash will definitely panic. At times like this, those holding spot should not sell recklessly, and those looking to buy the dip should wait until it stabilizes above 5 USD.$CORE official node exit = project team abandonment? Has true decentralization been achieved?
This seems more like a carefully planned "responsibility shift" rather than genuine decentralization.
According to the official statement on October 1, 2026, Core DAO is "gradually handing over the remaining block production roles to independent validators." The official describes this as "another step towards decentralization."
However, the actual effect of this "decentralization" process is:
Relieving operational burden: The exit of official nodes means the project team no longer needs to bear the server and maintenance costs required to keep the network running.
Risk transfer: The responsibility for network maintenance is shifted to "independent validators." If in the future there are not enough independent nodes willing to take over, this chain could completely halt due to lack of maintenance.
Governance power is not delegated: True decentralization is not only about dispersing validator nodes but also includes decentralizing governance, rule-making, and token distribution rights. Currently, these core powers remain firmly in the hands of the project team.
Therefore, the exit of official nodes does not mean the project team "abandons" or that the network has achieved true decentralization. It is more like a strategic contraction, where the project team sheds operational responsibilities while still retaining control over core assets and governance.Brothers, have you noticed? ZEC is really going down.
Today Bitcoin even broke a new high, but $ZEC only rebounded to 1380, it can't even hold above 1400.
So when Bitcoin starts to crash, ZEC will definitely plummet hard.
Look at the trend, ZEC dropped from 1493 straight down to 1305, now it’s rebounding to 1386, but it can’t get above the MA20, MACD barely formed a golden cross below the zero line, and the red bars are pitifully short.
Bitcoin rises and it doesn’t follow, Bitcoin falls and it must follow, and falls even harder — that’s the nature of altcoins.
It’s pumped by sentiment, once the funds withdraw, it’s a continuous stampede, it won’t stop just because of one drop.
It’s pushed up by sentiment when rising, accelerated by the stampede when falling, and there’s hardly any decent rebound in between.
My targets below are 1300 and 1200.
This round, I plan to hold until it truly bottoms out.
If you want to short now, you can try a light position around 1380, set stop loss above 1420, target first 1300, if it breaks that then head to 1200.
No need to go heavy, set your stop loss well, the risk-reward ratio is very favorable.
$BTC $ZEC $110 million short positions liquidated in 10 minutes.
$BTC forcibly reclaimed the $86,000 level. This surge has no news-based excuse; it's purely high-leverage shorts being squeezed in the liquidity-thin late night.
Derivative positions have gone crazy rebuilding, shorts will have a hard time sleeping peacefully tonight.PEPE's perspective:
The main narrative this round is not on MEME,
so PEPE's performance is not that outstanding; instead, PUMP is doing better.
The reason is that the world has changed.
Those that grow well are mainly focused on profit protocols and super privacy narratives.
Profit protocols like PUMP, UNI, AERO, HYPE, etc., and ZEC, NEAR as privacy.
Pure MEME tokens, on the other hand, lack a core leader (mainly referring to those ranked in the top 10 for both trading volume and contract open interest).
How is PEPE handling this now: just following, following, following—once again, following. It would be better to find a good position to launch a profitable MEME token like PUMP.Brother Zhuang, please have mercy! I completely admit defeat and will never short again😭
Sorry, Brother Zhuang! I really know I was wrong!😫
Please stop violently pumping the market! I'm about to be liquidated and can't hold on!😱
Can it just pull back a little bit?🤒
The market was forcibly pushed all the way up to 2744, directly grinding me into the ground!
My unrealized loss is now at -403.36%!🤕
Only 63 points away from liquidation, really just one step away!😭
Thinking back to last night, my account was clearly in steady profit!
I originally planned to take a steady $50 profit when it dropped,
but greed got the better of me, I couldn't take profit and stubbornly refused to cut losses!
Greedy for small gains, stubbornly fighting the trend, blindly opposing the market maker,
I committed every rookie mistake!
From a small profit, I stubbornly held on and ended up deeply trapped!
I truly repent and completely admit defeat!
I will never short again! Never hold losing positions again! Never be greedy again!
Brother Zhuang, please show mercy, just a small pullback,
give me a chance to close my position and exit!
I will leave immediately, fully admit defeat, and never disrupt the market again!
Please spare me!🤥

#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 Good evening, the short position yield on $GRASS has returned to 15%, not bad.
Last night the floating profit was pulled back once, but today it has stabilized again. Now on the chart, we can already see two bearish candles, indicating that the bulls are indeed starting to weaken; after continuous rallies, the momentum is clearly lagging.
$GRASS is really volatile, with a 24-hour range often exceeding 10%. It surges fiercely and falls just as harshly. For this kind of coin, once it reverses, the crash usually comes quickly. The key is whether you can catch that exact spike.
Next, we just wait to see if it will drop directly in the next couple of days. I've already set my take-profit level; no greed, I'll exit at the spike.
Is anyone else watching $GRASS? Share your thoughts in the comments on this move—are you continuing to short, or have you already exited? #9月非农今晚公布，加息预期成焦点 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美债收益率频创新高，长期利率压力未缓解 $SPCX
If you want to know how far SpaceX as a company has advanced in "organizational efficiency" compared to its global peers, just take a look at the past seven days
In the past seven days, SpaceX has conducted five orbital launches. Among these five launches:
SpaceX operated across multiple launch sites on both the East and West coasts
All active rocket models of SpaceX were used, from Falcon 9 to Falcon Heavy to Starship
All payloads and services currently offered by SpaceX were involved, from small payload rideshare missions to Starlink, to Dragon spacecraft, and even "third-party expensive payload charter"
The product parameters' leadership is obvious at a glance, but often the efficiency of SpaceX as an "organization" is hard to intuitively grasp, and this intensive launch schedule provides a very direct opportunity to observe itAbove: $87,400 (+1.1%) is the first resistance level and also the top of the descending channel since September 22; a breakout would target the psychological level of $90,000 (+4.1%). In a neutral scenario, BTC is likely to fluctuate between $85,600 and $87,400.
Below: $82,900 (-4.1%, 4-hour Parabolic SAR) is the dividing line between bulls and bears—if tonight's negative data pushes the price down to this level and it breaks, $80,000 (-7.5%, channel bottom) will be the next test; further down is the 100-week EMA at $78,713 (-8.9%), breaking below which would invalidate the breakout structure since August and signal a bearish trend.
Some practical points to note:
Do not chase orders immediately after the 20:30 release—historically, within 15 to 60 minutes after the non-farm payroll release, there are often two-way "spikes" that stop out positions. The revision value and unemployment rate often send opposite signals to the total data within seconds, and the true direction usually becomes clear only an hour after the release.
Buffer and undercurrents: ETF funds are an important buffer (net inflow of $2.4 billion last week, the largest single week since October 2025), but CryptoQuant data shows spot demand has decreased by about 170,000 BTC over 30 days, and futures demand has sharply dropped by 90% within 15 days. The momentum for chasing highs is not solid—this will amplify retracements when data is negative.
Tonight is just the prologue: the real determinants of October's market will be the FOMC on October 28 and the mid-month inflation data.$HYPE is still strong, with a secret large order of $330 million quietly settled off-exchange, indicating that big institutions are secretly accumulating HYPE.
The settlement date is the 7th, with a total of 3.75 million tokens, not going through the public market, which means the buyer wants the chips, not to dump them.
Also, the regulatory cloud has partly cleared: the Congressional inquiry into prediction markets did not target the HYPE entity itself, and Lion Group has instead shifted its position to buying HYPE. This shows institutions are voting with their feet.Concrete (CT) completed its TGE launch on September 30 as the governance token for an institutional DeFi protocol, with a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The team and early investors have set unlock periods for their shares, resulting in a relatively small circulating supply currently. In the current macro environment, the US dollar is relatively strong, US Treasury yields remain high, Bitcoin's market dominance is rising, and market funds prefer risk aversion, which is unfavorable for newly launched small-cap tokens.
Since CT's launch, its price has been highly volatile. The market is currently dominated by speculative funds, and the real ecological benefits have not yet been fully realized. According to the market capital rotation pattern, during the phase of rising BTC dominance, funds concentrate on Bitcoin, leaving altcoins with scarce incremental capital. New tokens like CT suffer from weak liquidity and insufficient sustained buying pressure. Meanwhile, subsequent token unlocks by the team and investors pose ongoing potential selling pressure.
In the short term, CT lacks strong fundamental support, compounded by the overall weak risk appetite in the crypto market, making a downward volatile trend highly probable. Only if Bitcoin's market share declines and funds flow into the altcoin sector will CT have a chance for a temporary rebound, but the rebound height will be limited and volatility extreme. Traders should be cautious of rapid drawdowns caused by unlock sell-offs and liquidity drying up, and strictly control their positions. $ETH That bullish push was pretty aggressive — one strong candle sent ETH straight toward the upper Bollinger Band. I’m currently holding the long from 2704. The next key level for me is the previous high at 2747. 📌 My plan: Entry: 2704 Stop loss: 2715 — protecting the position if momentum fades Break 2747 → hold and watch 2780 Rejection at 2747 → consider reducing the position I’m excited about the setup, but I’m also staying cautious. After a sharp move like this, volatility can hit fast. And🔥 Nonfarm Payrolls Tonight — Could BTC Get a Second Push? 🟠 $BTC: The market has already priced in part of the “cooling jobs data → lower rate-hike expectations” narrative.

I was stunned when I first saw this number. Honestly, I haven't been in the crypto space long, and my first reaction was: Is this about to pump?
Later I realized, USDC is a stablecoin, not a direct coin purchase. What Circle is doing here basically means someone exchanged USD for on-chain money.
But the question is—who exchanged it? And why?
My guess is, most likely someone is preparing to enter the market. The money is moved over first; it can't just be sitting there.
But don't get too excited. Having the money ready and actually buying are two different steps. We've seen money piled up before, only to stay idle.
Anyway, right now I'm just watching one thing: whether this 750 million moves. If it moves, that's interesting; if not, it's just a nice-looking number.

#美参议院提出新加密税收法案ADAPT #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 $SOL By some strange fate, I handed over my CT chips to someone else.
After trading for so long, I never thought that what would defeat me wouldn't be a high-leverage liquidation, but a "sudden blackout of discipline."
At 3:35 AM on October 2, 2026, I made an unforgivable mistake in my trading career. For this new coin CT, I had clearly set a strict rule to stop loss if it dropped 5% below the previous low, yet at that moment, by some strange fate, I completely closed the position. Looking at the +86.42% return, I only felt blinded.
Although MEGA next to it gained 215% (+1837U), it couldn't soothe the pain of missing out on CT at all. Knowing and doing not aligned is even more despairing than losing money. I clearly read the trend right, but fell to my own inner demons. Goodbye, my dream of getting rich quick.NVIDIA has authorized an additional $150 billion stock buyback, raising the total authorized amount to $235 billion, expected to be executed by fiscal year 2028. This certainly reflects the company's confidence in its cash-generating ability, but I don't want to rate it solely based on the buyback amount.
Whether the buyback ultimately benefits the shareholders who remain depends on the purchase price. With the same business outlook and the same amount of money spent, buying back shares at different prices will yield different results. Besides operational judgment, management is also making a capital allocation decision on behalf of shareholders.
This is the key difference from cash dividends. After dividends, shareholders can decide how to use the money themselves; with buybacks, the company decides when and how much to buy. Those who choose to continue holding accept management's judgment on the stock price. Good company performance does not necessarily mean every buyback price is a bargain.
I also separate total profit from earnings per share. If the number of shares decreases, per-share metrics can improve, but the actual business growth still needs to be addressed independently. The changes brought by buybacks should be visible, and operational growth should not be overshadowed by them.
Such a large authorization can easily create a sense of security, as if there is an extra layer of support under the stock price. But authorization does not commit to any specific price, nor can it prevent the market from reassessing AI demand. Rather than repeatedly marveling at the $150 billion, I look forward more to the subsequent disclosure of the executed amount and average price, which will make it easier to judge how well the money was spent.

If BTC rises but altcoins do not follow, be cautious. Only enter trades upon confirmation. Maintain discipline with stop points. Be patient and manage capital.$XRP UPDATE
XRP is trading around $1.50–$1.54 right now.
The interesting part is the recent ETF activity. U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded about $110.5M in net inflows last week, the strongest weekly inflow reported for 2026 so far.
On the chart, $1.46–$1.48 is the key support area, while $1.54–$1.56 is the next resistance zone to watch.
For now, I’m watching whether XRP can hold above $1.48 and push through $1.56 with volume.
What are you watching on $XRP from here?#BTC、ETH spot ETFs simultaneously see outflows, cooling capital heat On September 30, US stock market Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs both experienced outflows, with $BTC net outflow around $149 million, ETH about $60 million, breaking the previous continuous rise. On October 1, Ethereum outflowed another $55.4 million, withdrawing for three consecutive days totaling approximately $118 million; Bitcoin reversed to a net inflow of $102.7 million that day, appearing to recover, but Fidelity's FBTC outflowed $60.7 million and Grayscale's GBTC outflowed $31.4 million, basically BlackRock's IBIT single-handedly absorbed $196 million to prop it up. I think this is not a crash, but the heat has clearly cooled down from last week's $2.4 billion surge. I suggest not chasing now; wait until both sides have net inflows again before taking action. $ETH Looking only at the number of long vs short holders can be misleading. The real picture appears when we break down the average position size per trader. 📊 Longs • 128 holders • Total position: 80,000+ U • Average: ~600 U per trader 📉 Shorts • 112 holders • Total position: 450,000 U • Average: 4,000+ U per trader That means the average short position is roughly 6× larger than the average long position. On one side, you have many smaller positions chasing the momentum. On the other, fewer traderWhich red line in your trading rules must never be crossed?
My trading red line: never hold a heavy position to endure losses, this is the bottom line, not even to be touched.
I have fallen into this pit before, making a heavy position on the wrong direction without stop loss and stubbornly holding on. When the market moves against me continuously, small losses slowly turn into big losses, wiping out more than half of the profits earned from several hard-earned trades in one go.
The market always has opportunities, but once the principal is lost, you no longer have the qualification to enter. Holding on to losing positions disrupts your mindset, the more you lose, the harder it is to cut losses, eventually passively falling into a dead end.
Trading is not about gambling for a quick fortune, but about long-term survival. Better to take small stop losses and exit than to stubbornly hold on. By guarding this bottom line, you can stabilize your mindset and continuously seek opportunities in the market. #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 🌪️ Nonfarm payroll countdown, the market holds its breath for change!
PCE below expectations only brings a short-term rebound, long-term yields remain high and suppressive. The real trigger is the nonfarm payroll: if employment is strong, rate cut expectations will fade, and risk assets will come under pressure.

#9月非农今晚公布，加息预期成焦点 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 #美伊升级风险再升，布油重回100美元 $XAU Perspective: Stay out waiting for a breakout from the accumulation zone 4.135 – 4.200 (weekly FVG). The market trend is unclear, avoid being caught on both ends.
Scenario:
• Long: H4 closes above 4.315 ——> Buy up to H4 FVG (4.220 – 4.280).
• Short: H4 closes below 4.100 ——> Sell down to the old bottom ~4.110.
• Note: Only wick pullbacks ——> Continue to stay out.
Personal perspective, not investment advice.Not looking at $BTC today, let's check out this wild coin $ZEC.
The current price is stuck around 1380. On the surface, it looks strong today, rebounding over 3 points, reaching a high of 1413. But in my eyes, this is definitely a bull trap!
Look at the weekly chart, it actually dropped over 11 points in the past week, a typical dead cat bounce. Checking the longer term, it surged nearly 70 points in 30 days and nearly quintupled in half a year. Such a profit-taking market is extremely dangerous; the manipulative whales could dump and liquidate anytime.
I've already started building short positions in batches above 1380, with a stop loss at 1415. The first downside target is the support near 1305. The resistance above today is 1398; as long as it can't break through, I'm confident in this short.
Brothers, I'm firmly shorting this ZEC. Can it break below 1300?At 7 o'clock, let's first check the capital flow — US stock spot ETH ETF had a net outflow of about 55.37 million USD yesterday (10/1) according to SoSoValue, marking three consecutive days of outflows; Fidelity's FETH led with a single-day outflow of about 23.5 million, while Grayscale Mini Trust saw a slight net inflow of 1.55 million. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETF had a net inflow of just over 100 million, showing a clear divergence between the two.
Spot $ETH is around 2748, still about 2% higher compared to Shanghai's opening at 2683; the daily high touched 2779 and the low 2673. OKX's 24-hour spot trading volume is about 380 million USD, with approximately 140,000 coins traded. Perpetual nominal open interest is about 1.73 billion USD, with fees close to a few basis points. Price is consolidating, capital is flowing out; in the short term, watch if it can hold above 2740.

This is not investment advice; the market carries risks, please trade cautiously. $BTC Tonight's main event is the US September Nonfarm Payrolls——
📌 Beijing Time 10/2 Friday 20:30 release (US Eastern 8:30)
Three key points: New jobs added (consensus about 84,000-90,000, previous 162,000), Unemployment rate (4.1%), Average hourly earnings (MoM 0.3%).
Strong data (>100,000 / wage heat) → Fed rate hike expectations rebound, US Treasury yields surge, USD strengthens → Risk assets under pressure, BTC likely to drop first, our short positions at the base are comfortable, but don’t add positions during sudden spikes
Weak data (<80,000 / unemployment rises) → Tightening expectations cool down, yields fall → BTC likely to rally, but in our script “above 87k is the main zone to add shorts,” a rally up there just gives away position
Neutral data (around 90,000) → First sweep one side then retrace, high chance of false breakout in first 30 minutes, don’t chase
Nonfarm night trading iron rules
No heavy new positions before 20:30, light short trials are enough
Don’t follow the first candle after data release: spikes/stop-loss sweeps/false breakouts are routine
True direction judged by the 20:30-21:30 candle close:
Holding above 87k with stagnation → main add short
Breaking below 85.1k and not recovering → confirm adding short positions
Direct spike down to 82.5-81.8k → take profits on shorts in batches, don’t be greedy for the bottom
Nonfarm is not about changing the “mid-month dip” theme, it’s about amplifying volatility first then choosing the path.
(Macro analysis, not investment advice, trade at your own risk) The ecosystem heat of $SUI is worth watching, but the biggest fear for a new chain is subsidies inflating the data. Real user retention, application revenue, and stablecoin inflows need to rise simultaneously for the strength to have lasting momentum. I tend to be bullish, provided there is support on pullbacks; if activity drops but the price continues to rise alone, risks will quickly accumulate. Neither side appears ready to simply back down, while negotiations remain stuck around major issues including sanctions, the nuclear question and the Strait of Hormuz. Recent reports also confirm a significant U.S. military buildup, including a third carrier group and thousands of additional troops heading toward the region. My personal interpretation is that the biggest market variable right now isn't just a signed agreement — it's the leverage created by the possibility of further escalation. Having been trading in the crypto circle for so long, I have only one absolute red line in my heart: never hold a losing position beyond the stop-loss point. Whoever breaks it loses money, no exceptions!
Why must this line never be crossed? Because the market will never accommodate your wishes. Holding on to a losing position out of luck only gives liquidation a chance. Occasionally holding on and recovering is luck; once you fail to recover, it can wipe out all your profits.
Let me share my painfully real experience from the first half of the year: I opened a long position on Bitcoin at 80,000, setting a stop-loss at 78,000 in advance. When the market dropped to that level, greed and illusions took over me—I kept thinking it would rebound and stubbornly refused to stop loss, resulting in liquidation. I also suffered big losses on Ethereum and ZEC before because I didn’t cut losses.
The market gave no chance at all, continuously sliding down from 78,000, hitting as low as around 60,000, and eventually liquidating me with heavy losses, teaching me a harsh lesson.
After this experience, I completely woke up: the biggest taboo in trading is not cutting losses and stubbornly holding onto losses. No matter how optimistic the big trend is, you must obey the market’s movement.
Trading is not about who earns more, but who survives longer. $BTC $ETH $ZEC
#交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 Let me talk about a realistic issue. Right now, I believe many people are not on board; many hope for a dip to get in before the bull market starts. Actually, if you analyze the logic behind it, you'll know what to do. I'll point out a few things for you to consider: 1. Bitcoin is currently at 86,000, up from 57,000. Many people have missed the ride. Now, the common thought is that if it dips again to 60,000 or even something starting with 70,000, they will buy in and get on board, even going all in. Some even hope to buy below 60,000 or even below 40,000. If it really dips that low, would you dare to buy? 2. We buy Bitcoin hoping to be on board when the next bull market rises. But the reality is: in most bull markets, retail investors are not on board. 3. Suppose Bitcoin drops to just above 60,000 and everyone starts bottom-fishing. Who is selling then? When it previously dropped to 60,000, everyone panicked and dumped their chips to those bottom-fishing at 60,000. Would they then dump the hard-earned chips to retail investors at 60,000? Bitcoin has tested the bottom twice already. Trying to drop again to trick people into buying chips would be very costly, even resulting in losses. 4. Trading goes against human nature. I've reminded everyone many times before: Bitcoin's bottom will either come early or late, most likely early, and it won't give everyone a chance to bottom-fish. If it does, then that’s not the bottom. The bottom almost never happens in October. Because in everyone's mindset, the bull and bear cycle rules don't change easily. The current main theme is: chips have been dumped out, and it's hard to buy back at low prices. 5. Since the characteristic of a bull market starting is that most people are not on board, then now is the mostBitcoin is showing serious strength today, pushing close to the $87,000 area. But beyond the candles and headline excitement, this move appears to be driven by three major forces: 1️⃣ Macro Liquidity Is Improving U.S. Treasury yields have pulled back significantly, easing some of the pressure on global liquidity and risk assets. 2️⃣ Short Squeeze Is Adding Fuel 🔥 Short positions built around the $84K–$85K zone have come under heavy pressure. More than $120M in shorts were reportedly liquidated Does a deep drop necessarily mean a rise? Not necessarily, first check if the selling pressure is exhausted.
$ZEC has retraced about 14% in a week, but the monthly chart still shows nearly 40% gains, and profit-taking hasn't been fully digested. Around 1331 is just a pass-through, 1300 is the short-term sentiment anchor. Only if the pullback doesn't break below 1300 and volume shrinks can we talk about 1400; rushing to catch a rebound now risks getting cut.
$XPL turned positive by 1.6% in 24 hours, but the seven-day drop is still 17%, which looks more like an oversold recovery rather than a trend reversal. The gap from 0.09703 to 0.10 is just a step away; whether it can close and hold above this round number is key. Only if the rebound doesn't give back gains afterward is it worth adding to the watchlist.
$BEAT's story is about humans and AI making music together. Whether the token can hold value depends on real usage and payments. The current price is 0.09076, down 1.2% in 24 hours, indicating the concept hasn't turned into buying pressure yet. Without product data support, the market is unlikely to strengthen independently, so watch more and trade less. #9月非农今晚公布，加息预期成焦点 #BTC、ETH现货ETF同步转流出，资金热度降温 The September Nonfarm Payrolls report is finally here, and the setup is anything but easy. Economists are looking for around +90K jobs, with unemployment expected around 4.1%. August came in at +162K. The labor market is sending mixed signals: 🔴 Bearish signals • Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since April 2014 • Job openings dropped to 7.079M • Hiring plans remain historically weak • Consumers are becoming increasingly worried about employment conditions 🟢 Bullish signals • LayofI think the SEC's move today is quite worth watching.
In the past, everyone focused on how much flows into ETFs, but there's another very practical issue for institutions entering Crypto: after buying, who can legally custody it for them?
Now the SEC is starting to redefine the Crypto custody framework for investment advisors and funds, and the direction clearly mentions lowering regulatory barriers for institutions providing crypto investment advice.
So I think the next phase of institutional market trends can't just look at ETFs. ETFs solve the "how to buy" question, and custody rules solve the "how to legally hold after buying" question. If these two areas are both cleared later, Crypto will connect to more than just the ETF funding channel. $BTC APT surged about 6.6% in one day to around 0.821, with native USDT and burn narrative on Bitkub; I’m not chasing it for now.
Here’s what I saw: OKX daily candle opened at about 0.769, high about 0.843, low about 0.761, currently around 0.821, up about 6.6% relative to yesterday’s close at about 0.770, having touched the high during the session.
The same news stacked together: Thailand’s Bitkub launched Aptos native USDT, covering a market of about 5 million registered users; about 166,900 APT burned in the past 30 days; Shelby (AI storage related to Aptos Labs and Jump) entered private testing on September 29.
Simply put: this is a sentiment spike driven by "stablecoin entry plus deflation narrative plus ecosystem infrastructure," not an overnight doubling from on-chain revenue or real mainnet demand.
My view: don’t chase this 6-7% short term; the high of about 0.843 has already fallen back to about 0.82, the narrative is strong but the price has already priced in some optimism.
My approach: just observe, don’t chase the high, don’t catch the top in emotion.
If invalidated, watch for a break below today’s low of about 0.761 to continue down, or wait to firmly hold above about 0.843 before considering chasing.
Are you waiting for Bitkub’s volume and burn data before acting, or do you think the stablecoin entry narrative is strong enough to jump in directly?
$APT $BTC $ETH
#SeptemberNonFarm announced tonight, rate hike expectations become the focus #BTC, ETH spot ETF flows out simultaneously, cooling capital heatSCR intraday volatility is about 53.8%, with a 24-hour increase of about 21%.
As of 18:34 Beijing time, OKX spot price is approximately $0.03083, with a 24-hour high of $0.03773 and a low of $0.02454, and a trading volume of about $1.45 million. The current price has retraced about 18.3% from the high but remains about 25.6% above the low.
OKX daily data shows today's trading volume is about $1.44 million, which is 21.9 times the median of about $65,700 over the previous 7 full trading days. The best bid and ask prices at verification are approximately $0.03067/$0.03077, with a spread of about 0.33%; OKX currently has no corresponding perpetual contract, so open interest and funding rate cannot be cross-verified.
My judgment is that this looks more like a directional contest after a massive turnover, not a clean one-sided breakout. The most common misjudgment is to directly treat the amplified volume as a guarantee of subsequent rise; the price has clearly retraced from the intraday high, and the volume increase may also indicate rapid exchange of high-level chips.
Next, pay attention to $0.03773 and $0.03. If trading remains active and the price retakes the previous high, the breakout is more credible; if it falls back below $0.03 with volume still significantly increased, the high turnover is more likely to turn into selling pressure.
$SCR How far is the gap between $XLM payment narrative and real settlement?
XLM remains a top market cap payment asset. Low-cost transfers are a product feature, but sustained settlement volume and network economic activity better test demand.
If the market only trades the payment concept without continuous growth in actual usage, I would first view the price increase as sector rotation. 📉 $ZEC Continues Lower — The Market Positioning Has Completely Flipped Remember the positioning data I mentioned when I first started calling for a $ZEC short? At that time, the bulls' profit rate was 84.17%, while the bears were only at 18.27%. Now, the picture has almost completely reversed. 🐻 Bears' profit rate: 84.55% 🐂 Bulls' profit rate: 24.92% Previously, the bears were carrying more than 3M U in unrealized losses. Today, that situation has flipped, with the bears now showing around 1.PCE missed expectations, causing a brief rebound in coin prices, but bond yields remain high, and the main event is tomorrow night's non-farm payrolls!
