After its earnings report triggered a record drop in its stock and tech spreads widened, Alphabet still launched a seven-tranche euro bond sale. Initial pricing for the 2-year bonds was around 60 basis points over mid-swaps, while the 19-year bonds were priced at a spread of 205 to 210 basis points.
AI spending concerns had just pushed bond spreads higher, and Alphabet is now raising more debt at wider spreads. The market is still buying its AI spending story—it’s just making the interest bill clearer.

🟣 Is HIP-4 about to hit a new volume record?
Since permissionless HIP-4 went live on @Hyperliquidx, volumes on this new market segment have been somewhat muted, generally staying below $3M a day, and even dipping to $1M in early October.
Since October 10, volumes have been picking up again, driven largely by sports competitions (NBA, Champions League, League of Legends Worlds).
HIP-4 has been processing over $10M in volume for the past few days, nearly matching the $12.45M record set on June 27.
Interestingly, just like on HIP-3, even though several deployers want a slice of the pie, a single

What Is the Funding Rate? Why Do Long and Short Positions in Perpetual Contracts Need to Pay Fees Periodically?
In cryptocurrency trading, perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date, so a mechanism is needed to keep contract prices as close as possible to the spot prices of the underlying assets. This mechanism is the funding rate.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a fee periodically exchanged between long and short position holders in the perpetual contract market according to the platform’s rules. It is usually related to the contract’s price relative to spot and to

$TRUMP FROM -98% CRASH TO A POTENTIAL 2,800% RECOVERY?
The bullish flip is confirmed. Now I'm watching for a higher-low formation to strengthen the continuation setup.
Price has entered our anticipated Higher Low Zone ($1.37–$1.70), which is also our planned spot entry zone.
Targets: $5/$8/$14/$30/$50
Key invalidation: If #TRUMP prints a weekly HTF close below $1.35, I'll exit this spot trade setup.
The focus now is on higher-low confirmation and risk management.

What Is the Sortino Ratio? Why Can Focusing Only on Volatility Misjudge a Trading Strategy?
In cryptocurrency trading, two strategies can have similar returns but very different risk profiles. One strategy may frequently experience steep declines, while another may mainly exhibit upward fluctuations. Measuring risk only with ordinary volatility can overlook this difference. The Sortino Ratio is a metric that helps provide additional insight.
First, what is the Sortino Ratio?
The Sortino Ratio measures returns above a target return relative to downside risk. It is similar to the Sharpe Ratio, b

$WLD Current price 0.3842, down 3.35% in 24h, with 13.8M USDT in trading volume; MA5=0.38434 has crossed below MA20=0.38812, RSI=36.4, and the MACD histogram at -0.000182 remains bearish. The lower Bollinger Band at 0.381697 provides short-term support, the funding rate of +0.0100% shows longs are still paying to hold positions, and the Fear and Greed Index at 37 is in the fear zone. The data makes the picture clear: this is weak consolidation in a bearish alignment, not a trend reversal, and chasing longs offers poor risk-reward.

$BTC Faces Another Rejection at $78,700
Bitcoin has once again failed to break above the $78,700 resistance level, making this zone an important area to watch.
For now, BTC appears to be forming a new trading range, with $78,700 potentially acting as the range high. Until buyers manage to reclaim this level, a cautious approach makes sense.
On the downside, the $76,500–$77,000 zone is worth watching for a potential long setup, provided buyers show a strong reaction.
The key invalidation level sits below $76,000. Losing that support could weaken the current structure and open the door to furthe

Will Bitcoin bulls return after the midterm elections?
There’s a curious phenomenon in crypto: Bitcoin’s 4-year halving cycle happens to coincide with the U.S. 4-year midterm election cycle, so bear-market lows often fall in midterm election years. It’s a coincidence of cycles, and it has also given bulls high hopes for this midterm election window. So will bulls regain momentum after this election? Let’s first look at history.

The crypto industry spent $200 million trying to buy elections, but it can’t buy passage of the CLARITY Act in 2026
Finally, a story from the crypto world itself. Data from Public Citizen show that crypto-related organizations have donated more than $200 million in this election cycle. Fairshake backed 33 House candidates (19 Republicans and 14 Democrats), while Coinbase and Ripple each donated $25 million to Fairshake. Fairshake spent $55 million in the Ohio Senate race opposing Sherrod Brown and supporting crypto-friendly Republican Jon Husted.‌

🔥 **Personal hook I'm watching: $HYPE just got slapped down to 85.28, and now it's quietly stabilizing.**
I've seen this movie before. A sharp flush, panic candles, then the sellers go quiet near the 24h low. The 15m chart is printing small higher lows right above 85.28. That's the kind of calm before something snaps. 👀
I'm eyeing a bounce play on HYPEUSDT (Perp).

Intel is experiencing a severe "guidance shock." Despite Q3 earnings beating expectations, Q4 revenue guidance of $15–16 billion fell far below the $17.1 billion estimate, triggering a 28.5% single-day crash to $65.84—its worst session since 1974. The sell-off stems from dual pressures: PC demand weakness lasting into 1H next year, and a production halt at the Israel fab costing ~$600M in revenue.
Key Levels
· Resistance 1: $68.77 (Friday's high; must reclaim to ease immediate selling pressure)
· Resistance 2: $92.08 (Pre-crash close; massive gap-fill
