Brent crude hits its second-highest level of the year, the Fed’s rate decision looms at month-end, and midterm elections are approaching! Where will the market go?
Waking up to Brent crude nearing $110 and New York crude nearing the $100 mark has dampened the oversold rebound momentum in risk assets, as well as the short- to medium-term rebound demand for gold and silver;
On top of that, this week’s CPI/PPI readings, which far exceeded expectations, have put Trump squarely in the hot seat. There are less than two weeks left in the window. Although he has said he does not intend to eliminate th

#CryptoMarketTurnsGreedy Optimism is returning, but the market still needs confirmation
The crypto market is showing signs of renewed confidence after a period of uncertainty. On October 16, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index reached 63/100, entering the greed zone after recording 53 the previous day. Bitcoin traded near $81,650, while Ethereum hovered around $2,420 in the reported market snapshot.
But there is an important contradiction: improving sentiment does not necessarily mean the entire market has recovered. Investors are becoming more optimistic, yet price performance, liquidity and partic

📊 US September PPI Beats Expectations: Inflation Pressure Returns to the Spotlight
The latest U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) report has delivered a stronger-than-expected reading, highlighting renewed inflationary pressure across the American economy. According to reports, September PPI increased by 1.3% month over month, significantly exceeding economists’ expectations of 0.6%. Annual producer-price inflation also climbed to 6.3%, its highest level since December 2022. Rising energy and transportation costs played a major role in the increase.

In Anthropic’s internal data released on October 16, the most striking point was not that AI agents worked for six times as long as employees, but that the share of junior positions among new hires in technical departments fell from 27% to 9%. The total number of technical employees is still growing, but the entry point for junior roles is narrowing.
At the same time, the number of mentions of AI tool proficiency in technical-role interview evaluations was approximately three times higher than in 2024. Taken together, these two developments make me worry for people just entering the industry:

This move in gold is definitely interesting. The policy combination coming out of India lately is worth a closer look: the Reserve Bank of India has proposed that gold funds and ETFs no longer be backed by physical gold, while SEBI has notified asset management companies to restrict new retail investments in gold and silver funds. Taken together, the message isn’t complicated: demand for gold in India is so strong that there isn’t enough physical gold to go around, so they have to start by tightening the spigot on “paper gold.”
India is already one of the world’s biggest gold-consuming markets

Good news: It finally unlocked.

#美国9月PPI大超预期
SOL short from 117.23, current price 104.23, large unrealized profit; 105.58 will determine direction
Market: On the 4H chart, price pulled back from 113.37, made a weak rebound after testing 100.51, and is now at 104.23 (down 1.12% in 24h). MA5 (104.65) and MA10 (105.58) are intertwined overhead as resistance, while MA30 (108.46) continues to trend downward. The overall bearish trend continues, with a weak rebound.
P&L calculation: Entry at 117.23 - current price at 104.23 = a 13-point spread; the large unrealized profit continues to grow.
Key levels: Support 102.43/100.51, resi

$PROM I genuinely lost six figures from my account in this move. I chased near the peak around 5.66, and my hands were shaking when it dropped to 4.4. But I’m not here to complain today. I’m breaking it down again using the data and giving everyone still in the trade a practical plan.
First, the current situation: the price is 4.774, down 13.97% in 24 hours. The intraday range plunged from 5.669 to 4.398, with a trading value of 36M. Note one detail: the low of 4.398 has already touched the lower edge of the previous high-volume trading zone, and 36M in trading value isn’t panic-driven volume.

$ZIL Down 29% in a day, at 0.0024, with 24h trading volume still at 35.3M—this isn’t retail panic selling; it’s whales rotating positions. BTC is range-bound while the Fed talks tough, and small-cap tokens are getting drained first. ZIL has fallen three times harder than the broader market this round. I watched the on-chain data all night: selling pressure was concentrated during the Asian session, while during the US and European sessions, some addresses were placing buy orders in the 0.0023–0.0025 range to accumulate.
Fundamentally, Zilliqa hasn’t caught any of the hot narratives this round.

On-chain analyst Ember tracked trader address 0x30a...93e opening long positions worth $187 million at maximum leverage 4 hours ago, including 1,822 BTC (about $150 million) and 15,270 ETH (about $37.33 million).

The US memory stock sector is facing renewed pressure as losses extend, raising important questions about investor confidence, AI infrastructure spending, and the future direction of the semiconductor market.
Memory chips have become a critical part of the technology industry. From artificial intelligence data centers to cloud computing, smartphones, computers, and enterprise servers, demand for high-performance memory continues to shape the global technology landscape. However, strong long-term

#美股存储板块跌幅扩大 Morgan Stanley warns the storage supercycle is still intact, but stock prices may have already peaked
On October 8, Samsung Electronics issued its third-quarter earnings guidance, forecasting operating profit of KRW 107.4 trillion, about 8.8 times the KRW 12.17 trillion reported in the same period last year. But storage stocks have pulled back significantly: Morgan Stanley's October 11 report, “Storage: Cycles and Supercycles,” noted that as of the report's data cutoff, Samsung and SK Hynix shares had both fallen about 35% from their peaks.

I urge everyone to live well
Because every day brings a new blow
Hardships may be late
But they will never be absent
Don't assume at such a young age
That you've reached the lowest point in life
Believe in yourself
You still have plenty of room to sink
Sometimes, if you don't give it your all,
You won't know what despair is
You are full of longing for life
Life will punish you no matter how far away you are
You're sleepy every day—why?
Because you're trapped by life
There is nothing you can't imagine
Only things you can't accomplish
Those hurdles you can't get over
Are all because your legs ar
