📊 Crypto Daily | Evening of October 17: Brent crude surges past $110! BTC retests $81,700, but liquidations plunge 65%—the calm before the storm?

Guys, today’s market action is really interesting: BTC retested around $81,700 (24h: -0.7%), with an intraday low of $80,809—testing again the support it held yesterday. But strangely, 24h liquidations across the market plunged to about $320 million, down 65% from yesterday—both bulls and bears have backed off; nobody wants to make the first move.

Market conditions:

1. Oil prices surge in after-hours trading: Brent crude briefly broke above $1

After the Pullback in Storage Stocks, When Is It Time to Reposition?
After the storage sector’s consecutive declines, the question on many investors’ minds is: Should we buy the dip now or keep waiting? In my view, the long-term demand case driven by AI has not automatically disappeared just because stock prices have fallen in the short term. But being bullish on the industry over the long term does not mean stocks are worth buying at any price.
I would wait for three key signals. First, clear fundamental support, such as companies maintaining growth in orders, revenue, and profits, with manag

Recently, aside from making a little money, everything in life has been going wrong one thing after another.
I was muted for a month because a group I was in was reported, even though I wasn’t the group owner and didn’t say anything in it. Just being a member means getting punished too.
Then my frequently used mainland Chinese phone number was suspended. I went to service centers in Zhejiang and Shanghai, but neither helped. Even the Shanghai cross-provincial service center couldn’t help because I have Taiwanese status.
So after spending the whole morning in Shanghai, I could only take the hig

Everyone is missing the short setup forming right under SYMBOL

$Q /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.070367 – 0.072664
SL: 0.085849
TP1: 0.060766
TP2: 0.053599

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h trend is bearish while the 1D trend remains bullish, creating a clash that favors a sharp downside move. The 15m RSI sits at 59.28, meaning momentum is neutral and ripe for a sudden drop. The 1h ATR of 0.004594 signals enough volatility to push from the entry zone at 0.071516 toward the first target at 0.060766. If sellers extend the move, the second target at 0.053599 becomes reachabl

The Nasdaq 100 fell 5.5% this week, its worst week in a year and a half.
Bitcoin, meanwhile, is down just over 1% for the week, now at $81,500.
A few days ago, I said Bitcoin was being sold off along with tech stocks. Looking at the longer view this week, it actually held up better than tech stocks.
The key is what exactly the US stock market is afraid of this time.
This time, it’s not that AI is failing—it’s that AI has borrowed too much.
There’s a company called CoreWeave that rents computing power to AI companies. It fell 25% this week, simply because it has more than $51 billion in debt. A

$ETH ‌ is looking a bit weak here.
• Lost the $2,550 level
• Trading back below the April highs
• $2,450 is now the key level to watch
If Ethereum fails to close the week above $2,450, another flush could be on the table.
Watching the weekly close closely. 👀

$XRP is holding $1.30
A rebound to $1.34 imminent? $XRP is showing signs of recovery after a sharp drop. Buyers are defending the $1.29–$1.30 support zone, but need to break above $1.315 to confirm further strengthening momentum. Long plan: Entry: $1.305–$1.310; Take-profit 1: $1.320 | Take-profit 2: $1.335 | Take-profit 3: $1.350; Stop-loss: $1.288. As long as it stays above $1.30, a recovery remains possible. A break below $1.29 could intensify selling pressure. $XRP Can it reclaim $1.32 next?

**BTC Market Analysis: Inflation Shock, the $80K Test, and the Next Move**
Bitcoin has spent the past week trading in a tight, nervous range, and the reason is inflation. Hotter-than-expected US CPI data on Wednesday (October 14) pushed traders to price in a higher-for-longer Fed. BTC rose to about $84,000 right before the print, then sold off. It briefly dipped below $80,000 as rate-hike fears and a global tech selloff hit risk assets. It then rebounded toward $82,000 on Friday, October 16, helped by easing Treasury yields and softer oil. Even so, BTC was still
