$BTC Update.
Last week's plan is playing out with a bit of a hiccup. The idea was to build a long on the sweep of the RLs while price retests the 4h trend.
The correction went a bit deeper than expected and deviated below the 4h trend, stopping me out on the initially planned long. That's fine, the loss was planned and small. The read is still the same.
Price is already back above the trend with a strong ~3% bounce from the lows.
This is the manipulation zone of the range. Stops below the RLs got cleared, price is building demand right where it trapped sellers, and now it is attempting to get

There were too many sugar apples grown by Mom because this fruit is too sweet, and no one in the family really likes it. Since my digestive system has been weak lately, I used them to make a sweet soup. I tried it, and it was pretty good—the unsweetened sugar apple soup didn’t feel burdensome on my stomach.

How long has this 0.118 been capping the price? 👀 Four-hour open interest has been wiped out by 30% outright, longs are fleeing faster than anyone, and even with negative funding rates effectively paying people to take the other side, nobody wants in. The doubling rally is over; it’s distribution time now. If 0.118 can’t be broken, once 0.1 below gives way, everyone who chased the highs will be left holding the bag.

In mediocre circles, hard work is mistaken for showboating; in relationships that tear you down, excellence is seen as a threat; in environments rife with internal friction, clarity is viewed as the sin of not fitting in.
A bad environment treats pearls as dirt, and over time, people mistakenly believe they are truly worthless.
There is no need to remain trapped in place, judging yourself.
Leave the draining environment and strive for a broader platform, and you will soon discover that the traits that once made you feel inferior and were constantly questioned are precisely the qualities whose

#LedgerLossesNear90Million 🚨 #LedgerLossesNear90Million — A Major Crypto Security Wake-Up Call!
🔐 Hardware wallets are designed to protect digital assets through offline key storage. But a developing security investigation is raising a critical question for every crypto holder:
What if the risk begins before the wallet even reaches your hands?
Reports published on October 9–10 indicate that suspected cryptocurrency losses linked to devices sold through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis have grown from more than $86 million toward — and, in one on-chain investigation, beyond — $90 million.

The first button was fastened incorrectly, and I didn’t realize it until I reached the last one.

JUST IN: 👀 CoinShares says the U.S. bond market could matter more for Bitcoin than the Fed.
🇺🇸 Rising Treasury yields and growing concerns over U.S. debt are shifting the narrative.
If investors start questioning government debt sustainability, Bitcoin’s fixed supply could become an even stronger part of the “debasement trade.”
21 million BTC. No money printing. No dilution.
Will the next major Bitcoin rally be driven by interest rates — or a crisis of confidence in government debt? 🚀

#WCTCS9 WCTCS9 Trading Competition: Three Rules to Note
1. Zero-fee trading pairs do not count toward the competition trading volume—don’t try to inflate volume with zero-fee trades.
​
2. Subaccounts do not count as independent participants, and the same KYC counts as one person—don’t create multiple accounts; it’s useless.
​
3. Registration closes on 10/26 at 16:00 (UTC+8)—remember to register in advance. Positions opened before the competition period (10/26–11/25) begins do not count.

Bitcoin’s move from 57,000 to 87,000
has been too fast and too sharp
Many people chose to chase in at the 70,000 and 80,000 levels
leading to short-term overheated sentiment
Regardless of whether rates are raised in the second half of the year
Bitcoin’s broader bull-market trend definitely won’t change
If it pulls back below 80,000 next
then the best opportunity to get in will come again
Let time work its course and wait patiently for this pullback to end.

People who understand reverse thinking really are different😂

ETH’s $2,500 tug-of-war: The biggest buyer is about to leave, whales are fleeing—would you dare catch the knife?
When the biggest buyer prepares to exit, all that remains are retail investors left bewildered in the wind.
ETH is currently at $2,493. The 1-hour MACD green histogram is shrinking, but DIF/DEA remain below the zero line; RSI is weak at 39, and the rebound is extremely feeble. The funding picture is even more painful: Grayscale ETHE has bled for nine consecutive days, with 7-day ETF net outflows of $4.4 billion; Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee announced that its holdings had reached 5% and
