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

Here are the levels:
Limit order: 1166, stop-loss 20
Limit order: 1091, stop-loss 20
For long positions, the idea is still to reduce size and speculate; monitor the stop-loss manually and place limit orders at 10–20;
The previous 1260 level wasn’t reached during Friday’s session; today, the contracts dipped into the 121s, invalidating the previous extreme level of 1210.
It’s all bottom-fishing while the market keeps selling off. There’s not much to add about the macro headwinds; lower US Treasury yields don’t tell the whol

#Gate两大币种合约成交额跻全球前三

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

Gate.io Solidifies Its Position as a Global Derivatives Powerhouse
The crypto market never sleeps, and neither does Gate.io. In one of the most competitive segments of the industry — Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading — Gate has once again delivered a performance that demands attention. Recent data clearly shows Gate ranking among the global top three in futures trading volume for both BTC and ETH. This is not just temporary noise. It reflects real, measurable strength in the global futures market.
Let us break this down properly, with numbers, context,

An older guy who had spent 20 years abroad
once gave me this advice:
When you're overseas, always watch out for Chinese people.
As long as you don't go out of your way to interact with Chinese people,
you can avoid 99% of the trouble.

Currently, the weekly charts for $VOO and $QQQ are once again showing clear bearish divergence—the price keeps making new highs while the RSI continues to trend downward (as marked by my blue arrows and yellow circles on the chart).
Historically, similar divergences have often been accompanied by pullbacks of at least 10%, even when the broader market remained in a bull market (VOO previously saw declines of approximately -21% and -10%).
This is not a certain prediction, but the probability of a downside move has clearly increased. If this is the start of a bear market, the correction could

🚨 Wall Street faces another potentially volatile week ahead of the Fed's October 27–28 meeting.
The concern isn't just weak economic data. It's the possibility of slowing growth while inflation and borrowing costs remain elevated.
Here's what I'm watching:
**Monday:** Market reaction to AI-sector funding concerns. Rumors of a major fund collapse remain unconfirmed.
**Tuesday:** Employment and housing data could reveal further economic weakness.
**Wednesday:** Oil inventories and a $13B Treasury auction. Weak bond demand could put fresh pressure on yields.
**Thursday:** Jobless claims offer an

🔥 CPI + PPI SHOCK: INFLATION IS BACK IN CONTROL — WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TO BTC, GOLD
The market is facing a serious macroeconomic test. September inflation came in hotter than expected, producer prices surged, technology stocks weakened, and Bitcoin came under pressure near the $80,000 region.
But this is not simply a bearish market. It is a battle between persistent inflation, Federal Reserve policy, liquidity, institutional positioning, and safe-haven demand. The next move will depend on how these forces interact.
Let's break down the numbers, market structur

$ZEC has reached 1,126.97 USDT, down 3.92% over 24 hours, while 1-hour trading participation hit 1.10x, showing some strength. This feels somewhat unusual, because the price has already moved, yet volume has not weakened noticeably. The price is nearing the 1-hour support level at 1,098.63, while the 1-hour resistance at 1,185.3 still lies ahead.
This looks more like a tentative pullback than a genuine trend confirmation. If the price finds support around 1,098.63 and quickly rebounds above 1,185.3, this adjustment may be temporary. But if the price breaks below 1,098.63 and fails to recover f

It is said that KOLs all received an airdrop of 6,000 $DNA tokens. Brother Feng had previously participated in the ecosystem and ran an AI Agent, receiving 1,250 tokens from the airdrop, which made him quite satisfied!
Deploying the AI Agent initially only took one or two hours, after which the AI Agent ran on its own.
I originally just wanted to experience the Agent and never thought about farming airdrops. If I had wanted to farm, I would have used at least five wallets, haha.
Airdrops sometimes work out unexpectedly, while deliberate efforts can end up getting farmed back…🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully,
