What Is a Bitcoin-Backed Loan? Borrowing Against BTC Explained
Bitcoin-backed loans let holders pledge BTC as collateral to borrow dollars or stablecoins, keeping exposure to Bitcoin's price and often avoiding a taxable sale.
Loan-to-value ratios typically run from about 30% to 70%, and borrowers face margin calls or liquidation if Bitcoin's price falls sharply.

With 2900u, I boldly ventured into crypto and opened a long position. This post records daily P&L!

In my video this morning, I clearly told everyone not to go long around 2430–2440. I wonder if those of you who watched my video avoided going long here. You couldn't make a long work here; you'd get trapped in the middle. I said you could go long around 2380, with a stop-loss at 2350 and take-profit targets at 2460 and 2500. The risk-reward ratios of 2:1 and 2.5:1 are very reasonable. If you think I'm bragging or speaking with the benefit of hindsight, go watch my video from today—I explained all of this clearly three hours ago. If you still got trapped after watching my video, then you reall

BTC 81,809 (-1.73%) — Bearish, broke below the 82,000 level, with moving averages in a bearish alignment. Caution ahead of the Fed meeting on October 28. The long/short ratio is relatively balanced at 53.2%/46.8%.
ETH 2,406 (-1.92%) — Bearish, with ETF net outflows for 9 consecutive days and the funding rate near zero (extremely weak long confidence). ETH's leverage density is 6 times BTC's, so liquidation risk is higher.
SOL 103.72 (-2.71%) — The weakest of the four coins, with ETF outflows for 9 consecutive days. The 63.5% share of long accounts is a contrarian s

In Q3 2026, Solana recorded 8.92 billion non-vote transactions, up 104% from Q4 2025. Non-vote transactions more closely reflect actual usage, such as user transfers and trading, and are a better indicator of on-chain activity than total transaction volume.
Application revenue also rebounded, rising 48% quarter over quarter to $299 million. Quarterly spot DEX trading volume was approximately $197.2 billion, accounting for 36% of cross-chain spot trading volume and remaining above 30% for nine consecutive quarters.

Set up a short-term short

A short-term short trade, also a way to test my own thinking
If I had held yesterday's trade, I'd be in profit today too

Let's keep each other motivated
‍#Gate第三季度报告出炉 $HK50

$UNITREE Price has been range-bound at high levels and has yet to break out. Keep a close eye out for shorting opportunities next!
After climbing all the way from around 62 to around 82, the price began to pull back and consolidate. It is currently fluctuating around 77, and bullish momentum has weakened somewhat, so the short-term outlook is slightly bearish.
📍Entry plan: Consider shorting if the price rebounds to 78.00—78.50 and shows signs of resistance.
If the hourly candle breaks below 76.50 decisively and the price fails to reclaim that level on a rebound, a breakdown short may also be

#GateQ3ReportReleased 🚨 Gate Q3 Report Released: The Numbers Tell a Bigger Story Than the Headlines
The crypto industry is moving into a new phase — and Gate is no longer positioning itself as simply a crypto exchange.
Gate Q3 Report Released is more than another quarterly update. It is a snapshot of how rapidly the platform is expanding across trading, Web3, wealth management, TradFi, on-chain infrastructure and global financial services.
For investors and traders, the important question is not simply “How much did Gate grow?”
The bigger question is:
What is Gate building for the next stage

Would it be too much to call me a prophet on this one?

Took a look at things at the airport...
Yesterday, he still couldn’t get past the spot-market bro... (Image 1)
A lot of his sell orders got filled, but after the U.S. market closed, there still wasn’t enough buying power in the spot market...
Then this guy bought back some of what he’d sold at the same price? (Around 84k)
No idea what’s going on. Anyway, yesterday was his show...
After the pullback failed to hold at 84k, the bulls started giving up...

ETFs saw $500 million in inflows yesterday... They woke up today to find themselves underwater...
So be careful after the U.S

Direction: Short
Entry area: near 83000
Target: 81500 - 80000
On the 1-hour chart, BTC surged to 84898 before suffering a sharp drop, forming a clear top. The current price of 82626.78 has fallen below the Bollinger Band middle line and is also below the moving averages. The MACD has crossed downward, with the green momentum bars continuing to expand; although the RSI is at a low level, the rebound is weak.

The Texas Senate poll has it tied at 49–49. Talarico’s previous 2-point lead is gone, and Paxton is gaining ground. Pollsters are keeping quiet and not saying much, afraid of getting it wrong. At a time like this, the biggest danger is thinking it’s in the bag and not voting. One vote short is still one vote short. If you see it differently, explain why.

Is this thing forcing people to day trade? It’s already fallen below 823, the previous level where support and resistance flipped, and the daily candle has completely engulfed the prior one. If I don’t hold, I’m afraid I’ll sell too early; if I do, I’m in for an endless roller coaster. What the hell is wrong with this thing? I’m speechless. If it keeps dropping tonight, I’ll start the coin-margined grid again.
We’re back in the same trading range as before. Below, it’s still those old levels: 818–

$USD1 24-hour change: +0.00%, currently at 0.99979. The 1-hour chart is leaning stronger, while the 4-hour chart is leaning weaker. Whether the two charts are telling the same story matters more than the gainers and losers list. Timeframe confluence is key here. The 1-hour chart reflects short-term capital flows, while the 4-hour chart reflects the larger structure. When the two timeframes point in opposite directions, it only means the market is choosing a direction; a short-term shift should not be treated as a trend reversal. Picking whichever timeframe looks more convincing makes for a qu
