Key News Today
• U.S. initial jobless claims came in at 199K (expected 200K, previous 198K), slightly below expectations, with the labor market remaining relatively tight.
• After hotter-than-expected September CPI, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar briefly strengthened, but yields fell and the dollar weakened today, while gold rebounded from lows of 4073–4085 to around 4170.
• Shipping attacks in the Strait of Hormuz continue, alongside Iran's new tactics and Houthi attacks on Saudi targets. Combined with a sharp decline

$INJ Short setup… price is testing a strong resistance zone INJ has surged strongly from around 7.05 to the 8.50–8.56 resistance zone. The rebound momentum is strong, but this is exactly where I would stop chasing longs. Short entry: 8.30–8.60 (filled) Next target price: 8.20 Take profit 1: 8.00 Take profit 2: 7.80 Final target: 7.65 Stop-loss: 9.00 After the rapid rebound, the move is beginning to look somewhat overextended, while the price is currently just below resistance. If buyers fail to break through 8.56 effectively, I expect the price to first pull back to test around 8.20, followed

Gold is finally dropping the act. As soon as PPI heats up, it runs faster than anything else. For example, in one U.S. PPI release, the year-over-year increase came in above expectations, core PPI also rose month over month, and the energy and transportation services components heated up together. Less than half an hour after the data came out, spot gold shot straight up from the intraday low, quickly expanding its gain to more than 1%, while COMEX gold futures volume suddenly surged. At the same time, the U.S. Dollar Index weakened, the 10-year Treasury yield fell, and as real rates eased, it

SK Hynix closed down 11.06% yesterday, hitting a new low since April this year and retreating 57% from its June high. Interestingly, the more volatile the market, the higher the trading attention related assets are receiving.

First, a word for the bullish side $AAVE , then one for the bearish side.
The bullish side needs to prove that someone is buying above 158.98; the bearish side needs to prove that nobody is catching it after 147.05 gives way. $AAVE is currently at 158.72, up 3.44% over 24 hours. The 1-hour support is 147.05, resistance is 158.98, and current volume is 0.23 times the average volume of nearly 20 candles.
Before either side has fully presented its evidence, I’m more focused on the fact that $AAVE’s price has already moved, while trading activity and volume have not kept up. We can temporarily bel

Bitcoin Whale That Sat Through Every Crash Since 2020 Just Moved $377M
A Bitcoin whale moved 4,581.94 BTC, worth roughly $377 million, to five new addresses on Oct. 12. The transaction confirmed in block 971,126 around 18:37 UTC, when Bitcoin was trading near $82,350, and it paid a fee of just 732 satoshis — about 60 cents.
The coins have been sitting in the wallet since March 2020, when they arrived in a transaction that split a 5,081.95 BTC balance three ways. At roughly $8,830 per Bitcoin, the 4,581.95 BTC landing in the wallet was worth about $40.5 million. The value of the Bitcoin has nea

$ETH is about 9% below where it traded before Bitmine said it would stop buying. And as far as I can tell, Bitmine hasn’t even stopped yet.
Here’s the setup. As of Oct 4, Bitmine held about 6 million ETH, roughly 4.9% of everything out there. Chairman Tom Lee said on Oct 7 it will stop at 5%, about 100,000 ETH away. At around $2,460 an ETH, that’s roughly $246M by my math. Reports say it has $643M in cash and securities, so it isn’t stopping because the money ran out. It’s choosing to stop.
On my Gate chart, ETH sat around 2,700 before Oct 7. It slid to a low of 2,317 on Oct 15, then bounced
