ETH at $2,430—have you cut your losses?
ETF outflows continue, the Fed raises rates by 25 basis points, CPI at 3.7% comes in above expectations, and everyone online is calling ETH useless—but it just won’t break below $2,400. Is this the last chance to get out, or the darkest night before dawn?

ETH is currently trading around $2,430, with a 24-hour range of $2,390-$2,490. It has pulled back 13% from its late-September high of $2,800, but has already rebounded from the recent low of $2,320-$2,350. BTC is also under pre

#KOSPIJumps3.3%
South Korea's benchmark KOSPI index jumped 3.3% in the latest session, and the rebound is a welcome sign for investors who have spent the past week watching the market under heavy pressure. After a sharp sell-off that pushed the index into bear market territory, a 3.3% gain shows that buyers are willing to step back in and that confidence in Korea's largest companies is not gone. For traders and long-term investors alike, this kind of move is a reminder that markets can recover quickly when sentiment shifts.
The rebound came after a painful stretch. On Thursday, October 15, th

Japanese and South Korean stock markets plunge together: Could memory chips present a buying opportunity?
Japanese and South Korean stock markets plunged together, putting semiconductor and memory chip stocks back in the spotlight. The Nikkei 225 fell 4.90%, while South Korea's KOSPI fell 7.56%, as risk aversion rose markedly. Amid this market turmoil, the performance of SK Hynix and SanDisk has naturally drawn significant attention from traders.
Odaily reported that CoinGlass data shows SK Hynix accounts for 15.8% of open interest on Gate, ranking second across all platforms; the figure for S

Nowadays we try to make everything sound like a big scary deal, how AI is running unstoppable, so let me take a second here.
This is one of the headlines from this week, saying an AI took money from a wallet it didn’t own and used it.
- First, it was test money, the free practice coins devs use for testing, worthless.
- The wallet was opened with sample words devs share openly for testing.
- The AI even stopped to ask itself if it was ok, saw it was worthless money, and went ahead.
Turning this into a scary “AI is stealing money” story is just wrong.

Republicans in border states are starting to distance themselves from Trump’s tariffs. Recently, some Republican lawmakers in Texas, Arizona, North Dakota, and other border states have publicly warned the White House that additional tariffs would directly hurt local ports of entry, agriculture, and manufacturing. Texas, for example, does hundreds of billions of dollars in trade with Mexico. Thousands of freight trucks pass through ports of entry like Laredo every day, and auto parts often cross the border multiple times before being assembled into a vehicle. North Dakota, meanwhile, depends he

Brothers, this is so satisfying.
In 2003, a holdout household in Beijing bet everything they had on the Olympic construction schedule.
Zhang Changfu decided that the more urgent the project, the more valuable he was. Four million—he wouldn't sign for a cent less.
The neighbors moved out, the road was built right against his wall, and despite power cuts, leaking rain, and heavy trucks roaring day and night, he kept saying: “They’ll come begging me sooner or later.”
On the night of the 2008 opening ceremony, his house was completely dark.
He never got a higher offer—only a court ruling and an ex

🛢️ #InternationalOilPricesSurge on October 16 Amid Supply Concerns
Global oil markets witnessed a significant rally on October 16, 2026, as escalating geopolitical tensions and concerns over Middle Eastern oil supplies fueled buying pressure.

I’m not chasing U.S. stocks at these levels today. The reason is simple: prices have risen sharply, but volume hasn’t kept up. Chasing now means being the last one in. A V-shaped reversal is one of the most common bull traps—it looks like an opportunity, but it’s really a pitfall. If you’re already in a position, watch support and don’t rush to add. Let’s come back next week and see if this call was right. If you’re keeping an eye on this, give me a follow.

Bitcoin on-chain floor near $30k?
Ki Young Ju says even if all ETF money and treasury $BTC exit, cost basis still points there. Based on realized price and past MVRV bottoms. $10k would need an MVRV lower than anything seen. 2019 buyers already survived two 75% drops.
Cost basis shows where holders are underwater. It does not stop price. Severe selling has broken these levels before.

It's the weekend, and ETH and BTC haven't moved much. OP is down 4 points and has been hovering around my cost basis, so I'll keep holding
