Will There Be a “Black Swan” Event Before the Midterms?
Tensions in the Middle East have continued to escalate recently, oil prices keep rising, and the U.S. midterm elections are approaching. Many people are asking: Could a “black swan” event suddenly erupt before the November 3 election? Today, let’s break this down across several key factors.
I. Keeping Oil Prices Down Has Reached a Critical Point
It is becoming increasingly difficult for the U.S. to push down international crude oil prices, for two main reasons:
1. Iran’s actions are becoming increasingly aggressive: Iran has made it clear

What proof is the market still missing after the $ETH announcement?
When I looked at $ETH again, I first covered up the 24-hour +3.80%. It’s not that this number doesn’t matter, but it’s too easy for it to grab your attention. What really needs explaining right now is that the $ETH price has already moved, but trading and volume haven’t followed. You can tentatively trust the direction, but you can’t take continuation for granted; a move with no one following through can be reversed at any moment.
There’s also a piece of verifiable news: a Gate official announcement mentioned “Gate Research:

If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will
Solana made a splash with a light show on Shanghai’s Bund and held an offline meetup, which unsurprisingly attracted the cops
For those who got up early and braved the traffic to attend, merely making the trip for nothing was considered lucky; some were directly questioned by the cops
In fact, police also intervened in Solana’s event in Shenzhen last October, forcing it to end early
Solana should learn from ETH Ethereum and keep a low profile; every meetup goes smoothly～

A **randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial (ANGONG TRIAL)** led by the Department of Neurology at Peking Union Medical College Hospital found that:
**For patients with moderate to severe acute ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction), adding Angong Niuhuang Pill to standard modern medical treatment showed no statistically significant difference from placebo in any of the three primary efficacy endpoints: reducing cerebral infarct volume, alleviating cerebral edema, and neurological recovery at 90 days**

Today is not just another Fed speech day. It is a pivotal moment that will define the market's direction into the FOMC meeting on October 27-28.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is speaking LIVE in Bangkok at the IMF Annual Meetings, in a fireside chat with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva. The timing is critical: it comes right after a scorching hot September CPI and PPI - PPI surged 1.3% MoM and 6.3% YoY, the highest since May 2026 - and it is the last public appearance before the Fed enters its blackout period.
The market is holding its breath. Here is my academ

❑ GOOD MORNING & JUMU’AH MUBARAK
Alhamdulillah, Allah has given us another opportunity to witness this blessed Friday.
As we step into the day, let’s remember what truly matters:
• Send abundant salawat upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
• Recite Surah Al-Kahf.
• Increase in dhikr, du’a, and seeking Allah’s forgiveness.
• Prepare for Salatul Jumu’ah and listen attentively to the khutbah.
• Renew your intentions and strive to do good.
As we pursue opportunities in Web3, may we never forget our purpose, compromise our values, or neglect our relationship with Allah.
May Allah accept our worship, forgive ou

#NEAR大涨近10% For now, this looks more like NEAR leading a localized rotation of capital, not yet a full-scale return to altcoins.
Broad market support is crucial: Bitcoin is still fluctuating around $82,000, while spot buying remains weak. Overall altcoin liquidity continues to weaken, with more than 80% still below the 200-day moving average.
NEAR itself is highly volatile: it is currently around $5.24, up 11.19% in 24 hours, but its intraday low was ¥30.42 and its high was ¥36.27, indicating that demand from buyers chasing the rally is unstable.

If I could leave just one note for $TAO today, it would be: Don’t let +10.32% make the decision for you.
What’s really worth discussing is that after $TAO’s sharp 24-hour surge, momentum and continuation aren’t the same thing. $TAO is currently at 285.4, up +10.32% over 24 hours. The 1-hour support is 256.4, resistance is 289, and current volume is 1.06 times the average volume of nearly 20 recent candles.
The 1-hour trend is leaning bullish, with RSI at 74; the 4-hour trend is leaning bullish, with RSI at 56. This combination makes me provisionally accept this interpretation: I won’t extrapo
