Bitcoin and Ethereum’s directions in both intraday sessions were dominated by the bearish side, precisely matching expectations for a decline, with 1900+50 points of gains securely locked in!

About $1.2B in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated, mostly bullish bets.
$BTC dropped close to $80K, forcing traders who borrowed to bet on its price going up to close their positions.
Then it bounced, and short sellers got rekt too: about $25M in shorts were liquidated in roughly 4 hours.
It’s been a violent 24 hours, and my wishful thinking is that these wars end ASAP so we can all get rich lol.

#BTCUp1.17%
BTC MARKET ANALYSIS: 1.17% GAIN, CPI COUNTDOWN, AND THE NEXT BIG MOVE
Market Date: October 12, 2026
Bitcoin is approaching a critical market decision as traders prepare for the US CPI inflation report scheduled for October 14. BTC's recent 1.17% increase suggests improving short-term momentum, but the real question is whether buyers can sustain the recovery and push the market toward higher resistance levels.
My trading view is cautiously bullish, provided Bitcoin holds support, buying volume strengthens, and the upcoming inflation data does not trigger a major deterioration in ma

2026-10-12 13:49 UTC. Bitcoin briefly pushed up to 84,333 USDT in the last session before sellers stepped in, dragging the price below support to 82,438.1 USDT. Looking at today's market, BNB is consolidating tightly after testing 744.4 USDT. DOGE/USDT is also trading within a clear range, while XRP/USDT is seeing some pushback near its support level. For BNB/USDT, sellers are waiting in the SHORT ZONE (751.006 - 751.235 USDT), while buyers are defending the LONG ZONE (746.85 - 747.079 USDT). Expect the price to gravitate toward the TARGET ZONE around 748.59 USDT.

This also perfectly aligns with the four-year cycle pattern.

Hey! Are you comfortable down there?

$RSR ’s price action deserves some discussion.
It’s up 51 points in 24 hours and 40 points over 7 days, but the most crucial thing is—the trading volume is 47 times the usual level. Forty-seven times, holy shit.
But if you watch the chart closely, you’ll know this isn’t the kind of move that shoots straight up—it’s the kind that slaps you back and forth. First it surges, then once the people chasing longs place their orders, bam, a long wick gets slammed down; once the panic sellers finish unloading, whoosh, it gets pulled right back up. Killing both sides back and forth, harvesting longs and s

BTC and ETH retested the lows, but our average entry price was 83500. We then reduced our position by half around 84300. During the day, I mentioned that short-term support was at 82500, so I added to my position there.
A pullback is an opportunity to buy the dip. I will continue holding my long positions, and ETH can be bought long at the current price. $BTC $ETH

Trading Competitions Aren’t About Luck! Gate WCTCS9 Tests Real Skill
If the trading market is compared to a marathon, then the Gate WCTCS9 Global Trading Competition is like an open challenge bringing together top traders. Some seek to strike quickly, some focus on trend-based positioning, while others stick to their own trading systems. Although it may seem that everyone is competing on returns, what truly creates a gap is often strategy, discipline, and risk awareness.
One of the most common pitfalls in the market is speeding up as soon as you see others making money; fearing that you will m

Liquidated 900 times and still able to get back up? This coin must have trained in the Iron Shirt technique😂 Leverage gets your heart racing, but the stop-loss is like a roller coaster🎢 You’re betting on a comeback, while I’m watching for a breakdown and plunge. Sideways trading is a meat grinder; surviving is the real skill🤔

The bigger a crypto network gets, the harder it can be to keep it decentralised 👀
More users bring more power, but also more pressure to rely on validators, infrastructure and a few key players.
