October 18 Strategy Plan Priority Ranking, For Followers Only
Current Best Assessment
At the current price of around 2396:
Do not chase longs
Do not chase shorts
Wait for the price to enter a key area
My priority ranking:
Short if rejected at 2403–2418
Go long if it holds near 2380
Go long after a breakout above 2405 and a confirmed retest
If it breaks below 2378 directly, wait for a failed rebound before considering a short
If it holds above 2428 convincingly, cancel the intraday bearish bias
$ETH

Can stablecoins also have a directional bias? Bottom line: yes, but only for mean reversion within an extremely narrow range, and $U currently has a clear edge in relative sideways strength.
Sector comparison: $SOL is trading at 103.48, with MA5 below MA20, RSI at 44.7, bearish MACD, a funding rate of -0.0022%, and a range of about 3.89% over 30 candles; $APT is trading at 0.7936, down 5.56% over 24h, with RSI at just 37.2, bearish MACD, and a range of about 10.99%. Both are below their moving averages, with weak momentum. By contrast, $U is trading at 1.0007, with MA5=1.00064 above MA20=1.

The most unusual detail in today’s market: $ZEC fell just 0.99% in 24 hours, yet its range reached 7.56%. The price repeatedly tested the lower Bollinger Band at 1111.11, while the funding rate remained positive at 0.0058%—longs are paying to hold positions, and shorts are not crowded. This combination of “small decline + high volatility + positive funding rate” suggests that positions are changing hands rather than being flushed out, and volatility is being underestimated.
Technical outlook: MA5=1127.15 is below MA20=1151.07, the MACD histogram at -1.335 remains bearish, and RSI=43.6 is in t

The most unusual detail in today’s market action isn’t the declines themselves, but relative strength: $STRK fell 12.04%, $BAT fell 9.28%, while $ENA
in the same sector fell just 5.23%. Its RSI of 37.4 is also higher than STRK’s 31.3 and BAT’s 36.7. The smaller decline and higher indicator suggest selling pressure has been released more gradually, with funds not rushing for the exits.
But relative resilience doesn’t mean a reversal is underway. ENA is currently at 0.1885, still below MA5=0.18964 and MA20=0.193345, with the bearish moving-average alignment yet to recover. The MACD histogram

Most people are watching silver and waiting for a breakout. I think it needs to take a dip first. That congestion zone from a year ago still hasn’t overlapped with anything, leaving a small gap in the structure. If it really moves up from here, that would be interesting. The iHnS on gold lines up too. The hardest part of trading isn’t calling the direction—it’s waiting for a signal you can actually understand. So what’s the takeaway? I haven’t figured it out yet either. If you’re keeping an eye on this, give me a follow.

That long-entry level around 2355 on Ethereum over the weekend—felt good, right? The updates had repeatedly suggested placing long orders at several price levels, and that advice came in handy. 56-60 was a perfect range to enter a long position; after gaining 50 points, reduce the position.

Green support has been tested several times already and with each retest my confidence in this long goes lower.
I have reduced my size to 50% of my initial entry and will close the rest if we lose the support.

#USSeptemberPPIBeatsExpectations
eptember PPI Beats Expectations 🇺🇸📊
The latest US Producer Price Index (PPI) data for September is an important development for financial markets, especially for Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoins, the US dollar, and Federal Reserve policy expectations.
When producer inflation comes in higher than economists expect, it can signal that businesses are facing increased costs, potentially putting additional pressure on consumer prices. This may make the Federal Reserve more cautious about cutting interest rates. However, the actual market impact depends on the reporte

“Breaking above 4205 means a new rally.”
I’ve heard that twice in the past three days. Here are the numbers:
1. 4205.65 was touched only once, at 10-16 22:00, and it hasn’t gone higher since.
2. Since then, over the past 34 hours, it has steadily ground back to 4164.07.
3. The 24-hour range is 4157.36 to 4173.66, a spread of 0.39%.
