“The number of contracts is growing, and whales are buying!” There are actually several leaps in that statement.
OI (open interest) measures how many contracts in the market remain open. Every contract has a buyer and a seller, so even if the number grows, that alone does not show who is more confident, much less identify who the whales are.
When I see this kind of screenshot, I first check two things: Which exchange and what type of contract is this? Compared with what point in time can we say it has “increased”?
Without a before-and-after comparison, a screenshot is just a photograph—it cann

Sun Ge said a couple of days ago that TRON's post-quantum cryptography is already running on the testnet and can be moved to the mainnet whenever needed, but this can easily be misheard as TRON already being quantum-resistant.
I checked the TIP and Nile updates. The code is indeed running, and FN-DSA-512 has also been activated on Nile, but TIP-899 is still a Draft, and the corresponding mainnet parameters have not yet been enabled.
Reaching the testnet stage is fairly tangible progress. The two post-quantum signature schemes, FN-DSA-512 and ML-DSA-44, have already been implemented at the tran

Memes are fighting it out, while some are starting to wait on the old infrastructure projects.
When the market is chaotic, I instead look at undervalued public chains. ADA has fallen a lot from its peak, and its current price is not considered high, while its ecosystem is gradually recovering.
If you want to wait for the latest market setup, just click the $ADA tag below to save yourself the trouble of searching.
Others chase highs; I pick up bargains.

Bitcoin surged to around 84,300 intraday before coming under pressure and retreating; our early-morning short position was safely realized!
From the current market structure, daily-chart upside momentum has clearly weakened, with the price retreating below the Bollinger middle band. The bulls’ advance has slowed, and the market has entered a corrective phase. On the 4-hour chart, the price turned downward after surging, broke below the Bollinger middle band, and the highs are no longer moving higher. The pullback is gradually unfolding, with 82,180 as a key support level, while bearish pressur

#WCTCS9 #本周市场关注 My market map for this week: BTC awaits CPI, U.S. stocks watch banks, and crude oil is the “hidden thread”

This week (10/12-10/18) is a “super macro week”: September CPI on Wednesday (10/14) is the decider, six major banks lead off earnings on Tuesday and Wednesday, and Fed Chair Waller is also due to speak. My watchlist ranking: BTC (waiting for CPI to set direction) > U.S. stocks (watching banks during earnings season) > crude oil (the hidden inflation thread) > gold (safe-haven confirmation).
📈 BTC: Around $83.4K now, but direction depends on CPI—my answer is “no breakou

Looking at Golden Bridge in SL8, I think there’s one detail worth noting: although both involve staking, earning the base yield and pursuing promotional rewards are actually two separate systems.
Weekly compounding is one thing; daily gold and silver rewards, numbered physical badges, and the Top 50 sharing a $100,000 CST prize pool are another.
The former depends on the staking period and the actual rules, while the latter also depends on rankings, eligibility, and reward thresholds. If you factor all of these into your expected returns, it’s easy to overestimate what you’ll ultimately receiv

Semiconductors: Not Just an AI Boom, but a Market Valuation Test! 🧠📈
Markets are often captivated by revenue growth, but experienced investors look at a more important question: can demand for AI chips justify already-high stock valuations?
TSMC has recorded approximately 50% year-on-year revenue growth in the third quarter. Next, TSMC’s report on October 15 and ASML’s report on October 14 will be important tests for optimism in the semiconductor sector.
However, there is a frequently overlooked risk: strong business growth does not necessarily mean that stock prices are still cheap. If chip

The liquidation volume of BTC and ETH alone accounted for half!
This shows:
Many people say trading altcoins carries greater risks, but without proper position management, trading BTC and ETH can also lead to liquidation!
The most sophisticated trading strategy is: risk management!
