Inflation data or Fed remarks? Who makes the first move in BTC’s next market cycle?
Who will Bitcoin listen to next: inflation data or the Fed’s policy signals? It’s like taking an exam while keeping an eye on your grades and trying to guess what the teacher will ask next—BTC can’t afford to neglect either side.
Inflation data is an important basis for policy decisions. If prices cool less than expected, the risk of rate hikes could rise again; if inflation continues to fall, expectations of looser monetary policy may grow.
But how the Fed interprets the data after its release matters just as

ETH got dumped along with BTC this morning, falling from 2357 to 2293 and now at 2306 USDT.
First, let’s talk about our trade. We went long at 2300 a couple of days ago and moved the stop loss up to the entry price. This morning’s wick down to 2293 stopped us out. No loss, no real gain—just a wash.
But honestly, it wasn’t unexpected. Yesterday I said that if it couldn’t hold above 2360, this rebound would come to nothing, and that’s exactly what happened.
ETH is still weaker than BTC. BTC is down 1.6% today, while ETH is down 2.4%. When BTC falls, ETH falls harder; when BTC rises, ETH still ca

The roadmap is packed—but how much has actually been delivered?
An upgrade in Q1, applications launching in Q2, and ecosystem expansion in Q3. After reading the project roadmap, it feels like something major is happening every month.
But a roadmap is a bit like a renovation schedule: saying “the place will be ready by the end of the month” is one thing; actually getting the keys, having the water and electricity hooked up, and being able to move in is another.
To assess a project’s progress, break its goals down into three questions: What did it originally promise to do? What has it delivered

Does swapping old tokens for new ones and getting a larger quantity mean you’ve made a profit?
You originally had only 100 tokens in your account. After the project upgrade, you have 1,000. First reaction: did your holdings increase tenfold?
Don’t celebrate just yet—check the conversion ratio.
Suppose the rule is that 1 old token converts to 10 new tokens. If each old token was worth 10U and each new token is worth 1U, the value before the swap was 1,000U, and it’s still 1,000U afterward.
It’s like exchanging one large bill for ten smaller bills: you have more bills, but your purchasing power

Why are spot and futures prices different for the same coin?
You open the trading page and see one price for a coin on the spot market and another for its contract. Is the platform displaying the wrong price?
Usually not. They trade in different markets, each with its own buy and sell orders, so their prices won't be identical every second.
It's like buying a bag of coffee beans now versus agreeing to take delivery next month—the negotiated prices may differ. Contract prices are also affected by factors such as supply and demand, funding costs, and time to expiry.

October 29, 2026 (Thursday) BTC Futures Analysis and Strategy (Updated, as of approximately 21:04 PDT / corresponding HKT)
Current Market Overview
BTC is currently trading around $79,800–$81,300, with 24-hour fluctuations of approximately ±1–2%. After Thursday's open, the price pulled back from around yesterday's $81,000 level and is now testing the $80,000 mark, with short-term trading still near most short- and medium-term moving averages.
After a sustained pullback from around the previous $84,500 level, the short-term structure is weak. Expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve meeting

I was eating earlier, and now I'm back to our chart. Let's review it together!
There are only 3 possible scenarios ahead. I'll explain in more detail, so take a careful look.
We still can't enter here. It's a better position than this morning, but the entry would be relatively awkward.
When it reaches our green zone, I want to wait and see how it reacts so we can take effective action on the next trade. If the conditions are met, I'll place a trade here.
Question: Why?
Answer: Because our green reaction zone offers a better risk-reward ratio if it produces a bullish signal after being touched.

Q

Google’s stock plunged—is the AI bubble bursting, or is the market tapping the brakes on exuberance?
Seeing Google Cloud revenue surge 103% year over year, some were excited: The AI era is here! Seeing net profit fall 25% and free cash flow turn negative, others grew concerned: Can it earn this money back? The stock’s after-hours drop of more than 10% at one point gave both bulls and bears more reason to support their views.
But I think truly smart investing doesn’t mean having to choose between “AI is invincible” and “AI is finished.”
Rapid growth in the cloud business shows that corporate de

Sometimes, being too strong isn’t necessarily a good thing.

The Fed “Holding Steady”? Don’t Be Fooled by These Four Words
#美联储继续按兵不动
The Fed has “held steady” again. In the early hours of October 29 Beijing time, the federal funds rate was left unchanged at 3.75%–4%, in a 10-2 vote. At first glance, the market breathed a sigh of relief, as if the worst was over.
But break down the statement, and what lies beneath “no change” is not the prelude to easing, but a hawkish pause.
The most striking signal came from the two dissenting votes. In the usual script, dissent over a “hold” typically comes from those who think rates are too high and are eager to cu
