Explosive! Whale shorts are getting slaughtered—is $ETH ’s major player looking to “wipe out” the bears?
Markets are always born out of despair, surging amid the bears’ wails!
Old Zhang’s view: The liquidation map shows a dense cluster of short “powder kegs” above 2416. Multiple whale short positions have reportedly been liquidated, and shorts whose entry prices are below the current price are all at a loss. Funds are flowing back in over the short-term cycle, and the 1-hour MACD has formed a bullish crossover and is moving up.
The major player’s intention is clear: not to liquidate longs, but

BTC spot ETFs have seen consecutive net outflows. Are institutions getting ready to pull out? 🤔
Yangyang took a look at CoinGlass data. From October 12 to 16, BTC spot ETFs had combined net outflows of about 2,718.23 BTC, with 1,002.49 BTC flowing out on October 16 alone.
Seeing these outflow numbers is a bummer😭😭. But Yangyang thinks it’s probably too early to say institutions are collectively bearish. 🧐 (It could also be a bear trap.)
The outflows could be due to portfolio rebalancing, taking profits, or less confidence in the market’s outlook. After all, institutions are here to make mo

$BNB Massive burn executed: Good news fully priced in, or a bull trap set by major players?
The more positive the news, the more cautious the market action demands. The $1.197 billion burn is a real bullish catalyst, but long-term capital is moving in the exact opposite direction.
Data analysis: On the 1-hour chart, BNB rebounded from 706 to around 725. But fund flows show a severe price-volume divergence: net outflows over 15 days reached 229 million U, with 93.01 million U flowing out over 7 days.

It’s back above 82k. But if you think this is “reclaiming lost ground,” you’re giving this rebound far too much credit. #比特币短线站上8.2万美元
This rebound from $79,694 was built not on spot buying, but on the corpses of longs. That wick on the 15th sent $929 million in leveraged positions across the market into liquidation, with longs accounting for $777 million of that. After so many bulls were forcibly carried off the field, selling pressure temporarily dried up, and the price was lifted back by short covering and technical buying. Put simply, 82k is an “empty spot” left behind after leverage was

🌐 World ($WLD ) launches a range of new tools targeting deepfakes and AI
1️⃣ Deepfake protection directly on Zoom
World has brought its identity verification tool to Zoom Marketplace after approximately 6 months of testing. The system cross-checks faces in calls against selfie photos and data verified through Orb. If they match, users will receive a verification badge.
The feature is available for Zoom Enterprise on desktop and requires users to have been verified through Orb. This is a notable move as deepfakes increasingly make it difficult to determine whether someone on screen is real.
