October 17, 2026 (Saturday) BTC Futures Analysis and Strategy (updated to around 22:53 HKT)
Current Market Overview
BTC is currently trading around $81,370–$81,500, down slightly by about 0.5%–1% over 24 hours. Today's price range is roughly $80,800–$81,800, with the market still near the lower end of this week's range. Weekend liquidity is low, making directionless trading or small wicks more likely.

US September PPI Beats Expectations: Inflation Pressure Returns to the Spotlight
The US Producer Price Index (PPI) for September has delivered a stronger-than-expected reading, putting inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and global financial markets back in focus. For investors across traditional markets and crypto, this development deserves close attention.
📊 Why Does the PPI Report Matter?

$SAND Projects suspected of being gambling-related should not be listed

🚨NEW: Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says Bitcoin mining costs are split roughly 50/50 between hardware and electricity, while AI inference costs are dominated by hardware. 👀
The comparison raises fresh questions about how Bitcoin and AI's environmental impacts are measured.

This is the real “Max Pain.”
Crypto traders are getting squeezed from both sides.
Longs get liquidated on sharp drops. Shorts get trapped on sudden rebounds. Every move looks like a breakout until the market reverses and wipes out another wave of leveraged positions.
The real damage isn't just the price decline. It's the constant cycle of liquidations, failed recoveries, and traders losing confidence.
The market doesn't need to crash to cause maximum pain. Sometimes, keeping everyone guessing is enough.

#ShareWeekly ‌$ZEC in ten numbers: a different way to read the week at $1,162

#CryptoMarketTurnsGreedy Optimism is returning, but the market still needs confirmation
The crypto market is showing signs of renewed confidence after a period of uncertainty. On October 16, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index reached 63/100, entering the greed zone after recording 53 the previous day. Bitcoin traded near $81,650, while Ethereum hovered around $2,420 in the reported market snapshot.
But there is an important contradiction: improving sentiment does not necessarily mean the entire market has recovered. Investors are becoming more optimistic, yet price performance, liquidity and partic
