Expectations of Fed rate hikes have largely been priced in. Gold has broken below the lower boundary of the ascending channel on a short-term basis, reaching around 4090. As I said earlier, the 4080–4100 range is a support zone. If support in this range holds, expectations for this phase have already been priced in ahead of time; this was just a bout of emotional selling. If prices stabilize, they should still rebound. Pay close attention to the strength of support around 4080. If it holds, that will give us an opportunity to go long$XAU $XAUT

What Is Walk-Forward Testing? Why Can Backtesting Over a Fixed Period Hide Strategy Flaws?

In cryptocurrency trading, market conditions are constantly changing. A strategy may perform exceptionally well in a bull market but suffer frequent stop-losses in a sideways market; it may also make a profit on a particular stretch of historical data but fail to adapt to subsequent volatility. Walk-forward testing can help traders assess how well a strategy adapts across different periods.

First, what is walk-forward testing?

Walk-forward testing typically divides historical data into consecutive tim

Full employment + price stability are Fed's Warsh's top priorities

The Fed's tolerance for inflation has been pushed to the limit. As long as today's CPI isn't significantly below expectations, a December rate hike should be all but certain; if it exceeds expectations, a December rate hike is a sure thing.

Everything is in place for a rate hike; all that's missing is a gust of wind from today's CPI
Nonfarm payrolls rose by 165,000, far above expectations of 70,000. Full employment has been achieved.
Now only price stability remains. Once the inflation data confirms it, the Fed's job will be

$BTC This price action looks a lot like the market before past escalations in Middle East tensions—not in terms of price, but in that numb feeling of “the news hasn’t landed yet, so the market is pretending nothing’s happening.” For example, around the escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict in April 2024, BTC first traded sideways near $70,000, while trading volume during the Asian session dropped noticeably. Once the news broke, it quickly pulled back to around $61,000, then recovered as sentiment settled. The early stages of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023 were similar: prices drop

Saving a lot of effort when reading the chart

The U.S. October CPI hasn’t been released yet tonight, and the probability of a Fed rate hike in December has surged to 90%—this rate hike is basically a done deal!
This is definitely a real bearish catalyst for U.S. stocks and Bitcoin, which will likely come under pressure in the short term.
I just hope this is the final rate hike of this cycle. Please! 🙏

What Is Feature Engineering? How Can More Valuable Trading Signals Be Extracted from Price, Volume, and Volatility?

In crypto quantitative trading, the performance of machine learning models depends not only on the algorithm, but also on the quality of their input data. Raw price and volume records capture market movements, but may not directly express trends, momentum, and risk. Feature engineering is the process of transforming raw data into information that is more suitable for models to learn from.

First, how can price features be constructed?

You can calculate returns over different pe

Solana's early-session directional thesis played out: after rebounding, it came under pressure and pulled back, with prices gradually moving lower, confirming the view that the rebound was weak. $SOL

The rebound lacked buying support, and the upside momentum was insufficient to last. After selling pressure emerged, prices retreated, in line with the early-session forecast. Market volatility was high, and support levels still require close monitoring. Trading risk controls must remain in place.

Paradigm just led a round at a $1B valuation for a new company.
@mavriaX came out of stealth yesterday with $130M raised so far, per the company. They build AI data centers in a factory, like a product. First unit, Terrain 01, is already in production in Houston. Check image for the scheme.
A crypto VC putting money into steel and power instead of another L2 says a lot. Probably something really big.
Keeping an eye on this one.

If I were to build an app using @RomeProtocol, I’d most want to make a “cross-chain gaming and tipping platform” (fun and hassle-free).
Honestly, the cross-chain experience today is way too unfriendly for beginners.
For example, you want to play a little game on Solana or tip a blogger a few bucks. But if all your money is in an Ethereum wallet (like MetaMask), you first have to find a cross-chain bridge, transfer the money, and buy some SOL for gas fees... By the time you’re done, the moment has already passed.
If we built this platform with Rome, the experience would become super simple:

Robinhood Chain has been making moves lately—it feels like a big breakout is just around the corner. Prosperity is showing strong price action. Anything under 1m is a buying opportunity, so buy it all! First target: 10m. Think 100m!

Bitcoin’s recent price action has honestly left me numb.
U.S. stocks have bounced back, but BTC is still just dragging along near 75k, with hardly any momentum. A few days ago, it finally managed to push up to 80k, only to get slammed back down—and it couldn’t even hold above the 365-day moving average.

The price is now around 74,600, with support below near the 200-day moving average at 73,143, as well as the uptrend line I drew myself. Honestly, I really can’t tell where it’s headed next. I’m just hoping it can hold the 73k level.

It’ll only really be back on track once it gets back above
