The U.S. midterm elections are coming up in November.
Looking back at the three midterm election years, crypto suffered steep declines each time, with full-year losses exceeding 50%.
There were mainly two reasons:
First, due to Bitcoin’s four-year halving cycle, the bear-market bottom often happens to fall in a midterm election year;
Second, crypto is a high-beta risk asset. Uncertainty rises before elections, funds seek safety, and the declines are amplified.
Of course, each year also had its own additional negative factors (the 2018 BCH fork and the 2022 FTX collapse and rate hikes).
So I’ll

📉 Japanese and South Korean stocks plunged across the board, while memory chips became the focus of traders' attention
The Nikkei 225 Index fell 4.90%, the South Korean KOSPI Index fell 7.56%, and semiconductor and memory stocks once again became market hotspots.
Interestingly, the more volatile the market, the higher the trading attention on related assets.
Odaily reports that CoinGlass data shows:
🔥 SK Hynix: Gate holdings account for 15.8% of the total network, ranking second
📊 SanDisk: Gate holdings account for 18.15% of the total network, also ranking second
Amid the sharp decline, some are seeking rebound opportunities, while others are choosing to hedge risks.
The long-term logic of AI-driven memory demand remains intact, but have short-term stock prices already undergone a sufficient correction?
Do you have greater confidence in rebound opportunities for Hynix and SanDisk, or do you think the memory sector still needs to digest valuation pressure?

$TRUTH It fell 23.87% in 24 hours, with the current price at 0.0172. The position I chased in around 0.023 took a huge loss. I saw it surge to 0.024 this morning but didn’t sell—I got greedy, thinking it could make another move up. Instead, it slid all the way to 0.0165, while trading volume reached 145.5M, showing that the forced sellers and dip buyers were calling each other idiots. There’s only one lesson from this move: rising volume without a price increase means the top—don’t fall in love with the trend. I won’t add to my position at this level. I’ll consider buying back in after it hold

After $BTC ‌ rising to 87395, we said that a correction of the entire weekly-level rise beginning at 57800 had started. After 16 days, BTC fell to 80393✅
In last Sunday’s video, we said that the rise beginning at 80393 was most likely a rebound, because its strength was difficult to regard as a new upward move. Today’s break below 80226 confirmed that the rise beginning at 80393 was a rebound✅
What do we think now? Is BTC going to fall to 40,000 or 30,000 again?
As shown in Figure 1, if the decline beginning at 126200 ended at 57800, the black segment represents the first wave of the weekly-l

🚨 ASIAN STOCKS PLUNGE! KOSPI -7.57%, SK HYNIX -11.06% — BUY THE DIP OR EXPECT MORE SELLING?
My Original Market View | October 15, 2026
Asian markets are under heavy selling pressure, with semiconductor and memory stocks facing sharp corrections. The key question is whether these declines are creating genuine buying opportunities or warning of another wave of losses.
My strategy is to separate the long-term AI growth story from short-term market sentiment. Strong industry demand can create opportunities, but it does not guarantee an immediate recovery.

Michael Saylor says Bitcoin's current rally is just the beginning
Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, says Bitcoin has broken out of its downtrend and entered a new bull market. In a Bloomberg interview, he explained that BTC briefly dipped below the 200-week moving average before recovering roughly 25%. He sees that recovery as validation from long-term technical indicators, pointing to a new upward phase. Saylor stressed that the recent bounce is not just a short-term rebound but potentially the early stage of a larger cycle.
He also highlighted the growing role of traditional finance. As b

☀️ GM, GATE SQUARE! CPI SHOCK HIT THE MARKETS — NOW PPI COULD TRIGGER THE NEXT BIG MOVE! 🚨📊
The inflation story is getting more serious. U.S. September CPI came in hotter than expected, sending fresh shockwaves through crypto, technology stocks and precious metals. Now all eyes are on September PPI.
Will producer inflation confirm the warning, or will the next report give buyers a chance to recover?
My focus is on real numbers, percentage changes, trading volume, liquidity and the reaction across BTC, ETH, gold, U.S. stocks, the dollar and Treasury yields.

TOTAL3ES weekly 50/200SMA combo death cross + 365 SMA
Did you know, that the closer price is to a Death Cross (or Golden Cross) when the signal fires, it tends to be more accurate and better capture the emerging trend?
This is because the further price moves away from the averages, the more overbought or oversold it is, and it is more likely to mean revert or already be nearing a trend's end
If you start from mean reversion, you tend to capture more of the trend that gets disconnected from the mean
Know what I mean?
Below the averages the asset leans bearish. Above, leans bullish
