The White House Waives Multiple Sanctions on Russia, and the Short Trade Hits the Mark Again! BTC and ETH Outlook for 10.17
On the 16th, the White House issued an executive order waiving multiple sanctions, restrictions, and tariffs set out in the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The waiver covers measures including a 500% tariff on Russian goods exported to the U.S., as well as 100% tariffs on major importers of Russian energy and on countries that help Russia evade sanctions on its oil trade. It also covers sanctions targeting the Russian central bank, major commercial

In the morning, I turned on my computer but didn't put my hand on the keyboard
$XAU 4173.35, up 0.25% net over 24 hours; the screen looked frozen
Last night at 22:00, a volume-backed surge to 4205.65 got pushed back, leaving a long upper wick
For the rest of the night, nine candles ground in place, barely going anywhere—I yawned watching them
Resistance above at 4205.65, support below at 4155.55
0.77% left to the top, 0.43% to the floor
Odds of 1.81 to 1—reaching in would just mean handing money to the market
The 20-day moving average at 4180.21 is overhead; funding is zero, so nobody owes any

These LLM proxy platforms are seriously outrageous. On the surface, they advertise, “Pay 100 yuan and get $100 worth of tokens,” but in reality, they usually inflate the token usage figures when calculating consumption
As shown in the image below, I only had a brief conversation, yet the reported token usage claimed that I had consumed 140k tokens (anyone with basic common sense knows that in this situation, it would only consume a few hundred to a thousand)
I paid 100 yuan, and it was almost used up in a single evening. I didn’t even ask Opus 5.5 to perform any complex tasks. What a rip-off

BTC is hovering around 82,000, with the 50-day EMA at 80,443 serving as the short-term lifeline. Unless it breaks above 85,000, the range-bound movement will persist; ETH is stuck at 2,435, capped by the 50-day EMA at 2,493. Unless it gets above that level, it will remain in weak consolidation.
$SNDK ’s rebound looks more like bait for bulls; the bearish structure has not truly ended, and overhead selling pressure is clear. 1,400–1,446 is a strong resistance zone, while 1,272–1,302 is the bears’ next target. Until resistance is reclaimed on strong volume, any bounce should be treated primarily

This damn market really knows how to torture people.
Yesterday and today, I kept firmly urging everyone to short. Bitcoin was still fine, rising only 1% at most, or 800–900 points.
It was just ETH that bounced around more actively, rising about 3% more than Bitcoin.
Luckily, I didn’t go long; otherwise, I’d have ended up buying near the ceiling again.
It broke below 80,000 yesterday, and I thought there would be a rebound, but the strength of this rebound was indeed higher than expected. This damn market is really something.
Today it oscillated at high levels for another whole day. I’m sure so

Altcoins Are an Undead Army. They Only Move When $BTC Feels Something. 🧟
BTC chops between $80K and $82K. Alts twitch with it. No independent bid. No independent sell. They rise when BTC sniffs higher. They fall the second BTC loses a level. Classic beta. No narrative strong enough to break the chain.
The Setup:
Until BTC closes outside the range, most alts stay dead weight. The ones that hold relative strength while BTC chops are the only ones worth watching. Everything else is just following the leader’s mood.

On the daily chart, price plunged to 0.997 on October 8 and then churned sideways. Yesterday, it reached 1.061 on the four-hour chart before sliding back down. The current price is hovering around 1.01. Bitcoin is weak, and major coins are following suit; the short-term move has just run hot, so don’t chase longs yet.

A new chain for AI agents launched yesterday
Its token rose 16% in a day
Market cap is over 600 million
It collected just over 30,000 in fees over the past year
Actual activity on the chain is shrinking
In mid-September, it was posting 2.7G a day
Now it’s down to 2.1G
Over the same 24 hours, Bitcoin fell less than 1%
Altcoins across the board are sliding
What’s pushing it up is those four words: AI agents
It bottomed at 0.3 in August; now it’s at 0.69
It’s still 65% below last September’s peak
I’m betting the next project to launch a new chain can sell another round like this
