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

Machi trading roller coaster is unreal.
He reportedly turned just $56K into $12.25M in four months, only to see his account drop back to around $27K after a series of liquidations.
From millions to almost starting over, a brutal reminder of how quickly leverage can wipe out even massive gains.
Making millions is one thing. Keeping them is another.

Currently, multiple timeframes have not formed an upward resonance; overall, the structure is “bearish on the 1-hour/4-hour charts, while the daily chart is consolidating and pulling back from highs.” Short BTC with a light position around 82,500 on a rebound, stop loss at 83,300, targets 81,400→80,400.
For ETH: short at 2,480-2,500, stop loss at 2,530, targets 2,405→2,370.

How come I stepped outside and everyone was talking about @StandX_Official?
If there’s no TGE, are those farming volume being treated like black slaves? I heard there’ll be an airdrop, but it probably won’t amount to as much as the fees, right?
And have the @KaitoAI users been exploited for free again? Why is it always us who get hurt?

The market now estimates a 29.3% probability that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its October 28 meeting, up from 17.7% a week ago.
The Probability of a Fed Rate Hike in October Surges
This indicates that the market is beginning to worry about a rebound in inflation and another spike in interest rates.
Highly leveraged funds speculating on AI infrastructure are being forced to cut their losses and exit early.
In plain English:
If inflation cannot be brought under control, BTC and U.S. stocks may remain under pressure;

Anthropic revenue is surging, so why is the AI sector plunging?
Because the market is undergoing a “dramatic purge of valuations and funding channels.”
The numerator (application revenue) is strong, but the denominator (U.S. Treasury yields and the cost of highly leveraged financing) is soaring.
The asset-heavy intermediaries that previously relied on borrowed money to build computing capacity and lease GPUs are seeing their bubbles burst. The intense struggle between capital expenditures and ROI is driving a valuation pullback at the infrastructure layer.
