Next week, all the major data the Fed cares most about will land at once: Q3 GDP and September core PCE inflation.
The entire crypto market and macro capital are waiting for direction, and the market is as flat as an ECG. Many think it’s a matter of placing a bet and leaving it to luck, but smart money has already started running the numbers.
Put simply, at this stage of the macro rate-cut trade, the market isn’t really asking “Will rates be cut?” but “Are we heading into a recession?” and “Will inflation rebound?”
If GDP comes in even stronger than expected and PCE remains elevated, rate-cut

Bitcoin (BTC): Navigating Market Uncertainty and the Next Crypto Opportunity
Bitcoin continues to be one of the most closely watched assets in the cryptocurrency market. From sudden price movements to growing institutional participation, BTC remains at the center of discussions among traders, investors, and blockchain enthusiasts.
In my opinion, Bitcoin is interesting not only because of its price, but also because of the technology and financial innovation behind it. However, understanding the market requires patience, research, and a realistic view of the risks involved.

yep
only question is why isn’t bittex on this list

The Federal Reserve's rate decision could shift expectations across financial markets, while Microsoft ($MSFT) and Alphabet ($GOOGL) will provide fresh evidence about the strength of the AI and cloud-computing investment cycle.
For Microsoft, Azure growth, enterprise demand, AI monetization, and infrastructure spending are central to the story. Investors need to see whether AI is translating into measurable business value

10.26 Bitcoin Morning Analysis$BTC
Bitcoin came under pressure from the high of 84870 and fell all the way down, with consecutive solid bearish candles. The bears had the upper hand. It then bottomed near 79184 and formed a long lower wick, indicating buying support below and giving the market some short-term breathing room. Prices are currently consolidating. The high has not surpassed the previous high, and the rebound has been modest, but support below is also being tested repeatedly.
The moving averages remain bearishly aligned, with prices below the middle band. After weekend volatility

Common Ways Wallets Get Stolen Go Far Beyond Losing Your Seed Phrase
In the Web3 world, many people believe that as long as they keep their seed phrase and private key safe, their digital assets are secure enough.
But the reality is far more complicated.
Some users have never revealed their seed phrase, yet lose assets because of a single malicious approval; some connect to websites that look legitimate, only to unknowingly sign dangerous transactions; others download unfamiliar software, causing sensitive information on their devices to be stolen.
Wallet security is not just about protecting

A High-Risk Early Bullish View on BTC
BTC has been falling for several consecutive days on the daily chart and has swept the daily IDM liquidity. Ideally, it won’t close below 79,200 on the daily chart. If it does, it could drop to the extreme OB at 77–76K. This is the final support zone and the most favorable long entry in terms of risk-reward. The stop loss only needs to be placed below 75K in the event of a close below that level.
But if it bottoms before reaching this zone, you might miss the move.
So I’ll start scaling into a long position now.
This decline is all pricing in future expect

Never Seen Before! Bitcoin and Gold Are Holding Hands at the Bottom in 2026?
Folks, we used to say, “Buy gold for safety, Bitcoin to hedge inflation.” But looking at the numbers for 2026, these two unlucky assets have landed in the bottom two spots.
Since tracking began in 2011, this is the first time they’ve both finished at the bottom in the same year. Gold is down 7.5% so far this year, sliding below $4,000; Bitcoin is down 7.3%, pulling back 35% from its peak last October.
What happened? Simply put: interest rates are too high, making non-yielding assets less appealing. Brent crude recentl

Copy-trading friends, I opened this BTC long this morning intending to scalp, but got caught in the position. The plan now is to sell at breakeven. If there’s no opportunity, I’ll add once around 78000. Either way, 78000 is major support, and I don’t think it will plunge rapidly again. Our position is small, so there’s no pressure!

October 26, 2026 (Monday) ETH Futures Analysis and Strategy (as of approximately 10:51 HKT)
Current Market Overview
ETH is currently trading around $2,300–$2,340, down approximately 0.5–2.5% over 24 hours. After Monday’s open, it continued testing support below, with the low reaching around $2,300. After thin weekend liquidity, traditional markets reopen on Monday, and volatility may increase.
The price has fallen below the $2,340–$2,380 range from the previous few days and is trading below most short-term moving averages. ETH is strongly correlated with BTC/SOL, and overall market sentiment h

Can BTC rebound if it holds $80k? Not so fast! I’m more interested in this battle of wills between bulls and bears
$80k feels like a psychological threshold for BTC; for traders, it’s more like an emotional stress test.
When the price rises to this level, bulls start dreaming of new highs; when it falls, bears immediately declare the return of the bear market. Both sides act as if they have inside information about the market. The only question is: why are they always so confident at the same time?
WCTC S9 kicks off today, and I think the most important thing at the start isn’t guessing whethe

This kind of “a big drop, a small bounce, then a new low” structure is technically similar to a descending channel or a zigzag decline. Its key feature is that every rebound falls short of the previous high, and every drop breaks below the previous low. That’s what makes it so treacherous: the rebounds look convincing, but they’re just pauses in the downtrend, not a reversal. $ETH , I think this month’s market has left many people battered by repeated fake bottoms and fake breakouts. 🤨$SPCX ‌$NVDA ‌

$BTC On the 30D liquidation map, a ±10K move from current price would trigger:
• $3.23B in long liquidations
• $10.59B in short liquidations
With over 3x as much short liquidity stacked above price, positioning is heavily skewed for further downside.
Higher.
