Weekly chart turns bearish—can Bitcoin and Ethereum still push higher in the short term?
A brief look at the outlook: will Trump’s midterm election be a positive catalyst, or will we keep gapping down?
CPI and PPI data came in well above expectations. After BTC’s deep dip and wick, it rallied back up. Support in the bearish range failed to hold. Whether the mid-term market can stabilize and push higher depends on the Fed’s next moves, as well as the odds of liquidity sweeping both longs and shorts!
The Fed is about to enter its blackout period ahead of the October 27–28 policy meeting, with po

SanDisk, just as I said, 1300 was minor support. A break below this level was an immediate short entry. This huge plunge moved more than 100 points 🥩—the guys who followed are flying high 🎉

Watching for an upside opportunity in $STRK
. Entry: 0.0620 - 0.0634 Target zone: 0.06622 / 0.06904 Stop-loss: 0.05952 Catching the falling knife near the lows! A strong rebound from support has kicked off a refreshing rally. Note: If the broader downtrend continues, price could break below the local bottom support. Don’t go all in, guys. Size your positions to suit your account. Let’s go! 👇👇👇 My watchlist today: $ZEC and $AVA .

Wherever the crowd goes, I go in the opposite direction; they are always wrong.

This also applies to the phase before #PiNetwork major outbreaks and pandemics, because most people like to follow the crowd, parrot others, get something for nothing, get rich overnight, and take shortcuts rather than think independently and gain cognitive insight.

To add to my view: I analyzed two possible paths for Bitcoin this morning, but many people still don’t understand and keep saying it can only go up or down. I understand that many people have elementary-school-level reading comprehension, so I’ll add some more context. $BT is currently fluctuating around 81000. Looking back at the move near 87000, if you had managed risk in advance, wouldn’t the pressure be much lower now? When Bitcoin was around 83000, I said on Square that there would be another push higher, followed by a daily-chart correction. Those who have followed me for a while know I

After yesterday’s post went up, some friends in the group came to discuss WLB with me. A Jian’s view is that if your goal in trading is to improve your life, then don’t let trading consume all of it. Trading should, by nature, help you allocate your money and time more effectively. If you’re constantly being pulled around by prices, it’s easy to get trapped in a cycle with no end: fearing you’ll miss out when the market moves, wanting to chase it after it moves, wanting to make more after making a profit, and wanting to earn back your losses as quickly as possible. Eventually, your account flu

ETH at $2,420—can you still hold on?
$320 million in ETF outflows in a week, BlackRock leading the sell-off, and longs just had tens of millions liquidated—but while everyone was shouting “ETH is going to zero,” $2,400 held firm. Is this institutions unloading, or market makers using ETF data to shake out weak hands?
First, the surface picture: money is flowing out, but the price hasn’t collapsed.
ETH is currently at $2,408–$2,420, down 0.6%–1% over 24 hours, sliding from $2,700–$2,800 in early October. ETFs saw net outflows of $320 million over the past week, including $69.7 million in a sing

$SOXS SHORT SETUP — SELLERS ARE STEPPING IN! 📉🔥
Entry: 50.00 – 50.30 (Short)
SL: 51.40
TP1: 49.40
TP2: 48.70
TP3: 47.80
$SOXS is losing momentum after a sharp rally toward 53.39. The 1H chart shows lower highs and weakening buying pressure.
A confirmed break below 49.80 could open the door for further downside.

With oil nearing $110, crypto traders also need to keep a close eye on this strait
Over the weekend, it looked like news about tankers. By Monday, it could affect everyone’s positions.
On October 17, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the claims have not yet been independently confirmed, so the specific losses cannot be treated as definitive.
As for prices, on the latest trading day—October 16—Brent crude closed at $109.86, up 3.7% for the day; WTI closed at $101.41, up 3.5%. For the week, they rose 4.9%

A devious way to greatly reduce internet debt-collection calls
Meituan had previously harassed me for months over a debt of a few dozen yuan because I had to link a card to repay it, which really annoyed me. I eventually paid it back.
Later, when I bought things on Meituan, Baitiao was automatically prioritized for payment, so I stopped repaying it. The key point was that I looked in many places but couldn’t find where to disable it; after I disabled it before, it secretly turned itself back on.
These domestic internet companies are extremely despicable. They are all lenders, with effective an

At Nvidia’s current level, I’m bearish again 🤣
There’s been plenty of discussion on X about the AI bubble and whether investments in computing power can actually pay off
Nvidia’s fundamentals are indeed strong, but the higher the stock price climbs, the higher market expectations get. Any slight miss in earnings or returns on AI investments could give investors a reason to take profits
At Nvidia’s current level, I don’t want to use too much leverage. Being bearish is one thing, but being able to withstand a market rebound is another
My approach is simple: first, see whether there’s an opportu
