October 17, 2026 (Saturday) ETH Futures Analysis and Strategy (currently around 22:51 HKT)
Current Market Overview
ETH is currently trading around $2,420–$2,430, down slightly by approximately 0.5%–2% over the past 24 hours. Today's range is roughly $2,393–$2,446. It dipped to $2,317–$2,320 earlier this week before rebounding and remains in a consolidation phase. Weekend liquidity is low, making directionless swings or sudden volatility more likely.
ETH remains strongly correlated with BTC and has also recently been pressured by macro factors (inflation data and expectations of Fed rate hikes)

🚨 JUST IN: Visa officially launches USDC-powered payments through Visa Direct, expanding stablecoin payment capabilities across its network spanning over 180 countries.

Another major milestone for global stablecoin adoption!

Damn, why is the market closed? I thought crypto platforms never close; only my5 does

The most unusual detail in today’s market action is not the decline itself, but the divergence between the decline and the leverage structure: $BAT is down 10.37% over 24 hours, the steepest drop of the three, yet the funding rate remains positive at 0.0004%. This suggests longs have not yet conceded and shorts have not completed the squeeze. This combination of “price falling while funding stays positive” often means the downward move still has momentum.
Compared with others in the same sector, $UN is down 3.74% and $OP is down 7.93%. BAT’s decline is about 2.8 times UNI’s, while its 30-ca

I came across Sun Yuchen’s latest interview with Jin Ming at TOKEN2049 and noticed he’s fairly cautious about BTC, ETH, and the Nasdaq, but more bullish on AI applications and RWA.
After watching it, Yangyang had one thought: There are too many hot topics these days. AI today, RWA tomorrow—it feels like there’s a new story every day.
But just because everyone is bullish on a sector, does that really mean it’s worth getting into?
Whether AI can ultimately deliver practical applications and whether RWA can meet real needs matter far more, in my opinion, than simply listening to a story.
Here’s a

#DOGE DOGE ETFs switch from consecutive net inflows to redemptions! Can the $0.08 support hold?
Dogecoin hype cools! ETF funds flee, with $0.08 becoming a make-or-break line🐶

#TeslaRoadsterMemeRally Tesla’s Rocket-Powered Roadster Ignites Crypto Speculation: Can FTR Lead the Next Meme-Coin Wave?
One headline. Three market forces. A new test for speculative crypto.
Tesla’s October 15 Roadster demonstration has brought together futuristic automotive technology, viral internet culture and fast-moving meme-coin speculation. The prototype’s rocket-style thrusters and dramatic airborne maneuvers captured global attention, while traders began looking for potential spillover into Tesla-themed tokens and the broader altcoin market.

October 17, 2026 (Saturday) BTC Futures Analysis and Strategy (currently around 22:47 HKT)
Current Market Overview
BTC is currently trading around $81,370–$81,500, down slightly by about 0.1%–0.7% over 24 hours. Today's trading range is roughly $80,800–$81,800, a pullback compared with Friday.
Price remains near the lower end of this week's consolidation range, some distance from the key $82,000–$83,000 area. Weekend liquidity is typically lower, making directionless consolidation or sudden volatility more likely. It remains down about 35% from the all-time high of around $126,000 in October 2

Arthur Hayes shared his altcoin playbook:
Altcoins aren’t about being as new as possible,
but about falling hard enough and surviving long enough!
Focus on established projects that have plunged 75%-80%,
and reject new tokens with high FDVs.
Trading altcoins isn’t the end goal;
earning more BTC is.
That’s the survival rule of veteran players.

📊 Copper hit a record: US$ 6,95 per pound, outpacing gold by ~20% in 2026. What lesson does this hold for people holding USDT in Venezuela?
The metals market is putting on an uncommon show. Copper climbed to a new record of US$ 6,95 per pound on September 22, gaining close to 20% so far this year and more than 46% over twelve months. Meanwhile, gold—the traditional safe haven—barely moved: just +0,02% over the same period.
For Venezuelan traders who check the USDT exchange rate on P2P markets every day, this story hits close to home. It’s the same movie we see on our exchange platforms: when
