#质押Launchpool瓜分45万VLX Gate Launchpool Session 386 is here: Stake BTC, ETH, or VLX to share 4,545,460 ValueX (VLX), with an estimated maximum annualized return of 47.40%.

The numbers look enticing. But today I want to talk about something less enticing—three questions you need to think through first.

I. 47.40% is an annualized peak estimate, not what you’ll actually earn
Launchpool’s annualized return is an extrapolated figure. Here’s a classic industry comparison: a 7-day campaign advertises a 300% annualized return, but the actual return is only about 5.75%—because annualization simply mul

Title: 📊 Today's Market Snapshot | Can't ETH tailwinds lift BTC? Watch out for short-term risk!

Body:
I checked the latest AI market news and price forecasts on the research workstation this morning and distilled a few key takeaways from today's market action for everyone 👇
💡 News vs. market reality:
Although recent news about the expansion of the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem has somewhat boosted market sentiment, we need to stay clear-headed: this has no direct impact on Bitcoin (BTC)! Don't blindly rush into BTC just because of positive ecosystem news.
📉 Current BTC outlook: [Bearish / Und

US Nonfarm Payrolls: October Jobs Report Surprises Markets and Signals Strength in the American Economy
The US labor market is one of the most important indicators of global economic health. Every month, investors, economists, and financial institutions closely monitor Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) to understand employment conditions and evaluate the direction of the US economy.
The latest October 2026 employment report has attracted significant attention because job creation came in much stronger than market expectations. This development could influence Federal Reserve policy, t

$ZEC recorded approximately $7.72K in short liquidations around $1,350.57, indicating that bearish positions were forced out during the upward move. This suggests potential bullish pressure, although further continuation requires acceptance above resistance. A successful retest could strengthen the possibility of another liquidity expansion.
Support: $1,325 – $1,340
Resistance: $1,365 – $1,390
Next Target: $1,420
Confirmation: Holding support and breaking resistance could attract additional buying momentum. Failure to hold the demand zone may lead to a deeper retracement.

Why Might Following a Popular Trend Be More Dangerous When Funding Rates Are High?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin continues to rise, discussions on social platforms become increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates keep climbing, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there may still be an opportunity to follow the trend now.

But the more crowded the market gets, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. High funding rates are not a definitive signal that the market is about to reverse, but they may be a reminder that holding costs and ma

Can the Number of Token Holders Tell You Whether It’s Safe?

When researching a Web3 project, many people first look at a few numbers:

How many holders are there? Is the number of holders continuing to grow? Is the token already distributed across many wallets?

These figures are useful reference points, but judging a project’s safety solely by its number of holders can easily lead to the wrong conclusion.

The number of holders reflects one aspect of token distribution, not the full picture of a project’s security.

1. More holders don’t necessarily mean a healthy token distribution

Suppose

🔥This Bitcoin pullback seems to hinge on two key developments: Trump taking action against Iran and going head-to-head with the Democrats, and the November 10 CPI data likely coming in bearish. With these two overhangs weighing on the market in the short term, I think the odds of a bearish move are fairly high. Looking further ahead, the AI bubble in U.S. stocks will continue to deflate little by little. It may hurt in the short term, but it’s a good thing in the long run—the abscess needs to be fully drained for the subsequent rally to have a firmer foundation. U.S. stocks have already start

Why can following the crowd be more dangerous when funding rates are high?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin keeps rising, discussions on social platforms grow increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates continue to climb, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there may still be an opportunity to follow now.

But the more crowded the market gets, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. High funding rates are not a certain signal that the market is about to reverse, but they may remind us that holding costs and market expectations have chang

The Name and Ticker Are the Same—So Why Could You Still Mistake One Token for Another?

In the Web3 world, many people look at a token’s name, ticker, and icon first when searching for it.

When they see a familiar name, they assume they have found the right asset; when a familiar token ticker appears in their wallet, they assume they have received the genuine token.

But this information cannot independently prove an asset’s identity.

Token names and tickers can be duplicated, and icons can be copied. To verify an asset’s identity, you need to check the blockchain network, contract address,

The contract source code has been verified. Why does it still need further checks?

In Web3 projects, many people see “Contract Source Code Verified” displayed on a blockchain explorer and assume the contract is transparent enough, or even that it has passed a security review.

But there is an easily overlooked distinction:

Source code verification mainly helps us check whether the public source code matches the deployed bytecode. It is not the same as a security audit, nor does it mean the contract has no vulnerabilities.

If “source code verified” is taken to mean “the contract is safe,” pe

I said the rebound was just a dead-cat bounce. It didn’t even reach 50 at its peak, so how can you call that a reversal!
Entered at 49, hit a low of 43.75—a 5.25-point drop, enough to wipe you out.
It’s currently consolidating sideways. Don’t rush to buy the dip; wait until it holds above 50!

What does it mean when price rises, trading volume increases, and OI rises at the same time?

In the crypto derivatives market, traders often pay attention to a particular combination: price rises, trading volume increases, and open interest (OI) rises at the same time.

Some consider this a sign of a strong rally, while others worry that too much leverage is building up in the market. How should this combination be understood?

The key is that these data can indicate the level of market participation, but they cannot, on their own, prove that prices will continue to rise.

First, what does a

“Digital gold” crumbles in the face of rate hikes; what really killed BTC was the unraveling of the AI narrative

Many say BTC fell because Friday’s nonfarm payrolls came in above expectations, stoking rate hike expectations. The timeline doesn’t add up.

On Thursday night, BTC plunged from $81,000 to $75,500, with its biggest 24-hour drop nearing 6%. Liquidations across the market topped $1 billion, and 88% of liquidated positions were longs.

The nonfarm payrolls report hadn’t even come out, and rate hike expectations hadn’t surged to 77% yet.

So who did it?

On Thursday, the Nasdaq 100 fel

The most interesting thing about financial markets is that sometimes good news is good news, and sometimes good news is bad news.
The U.S. added 165,000 jobs in October, far exceeding market expectations, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. At first glance, the U.S. economy appears to be performing quite well.
In theory, job growth and a falling unemployment rate should be cause for celebration. But Wall Street has not entirely let down its guard.
The reason is simple: a labor market that is too strong could make the Fed less eager to cut interest rates.
