CL U.S. crude has barely moved; same old story

Crude oil’s three main drivers are supply and demand, geopolitics, and transportation. It’s always the same three factors influencing oil prices.

Supply and demand are gradually becoming less tight. Diesel is being substituted wherever possible, and things are nowhere near as tight as they were in the first half of the year, when core OPEC+ voluntarily cut production to curb supply. A lot of oil is also flowing around the world through gray channels; more on that later.

Geopolitical tensions have eased considerably. When the Strait of Hormuz wa

Walked around but couldn’t find anything to eat.
Had to settle for a bento and a small Sprite.
Somehow got through the morning.
Back at it this afternoon.

What exactly are a wallet mnemonic phrase and private key? Why are they so important?

In the Web3 world, creating a wallet is easy, but not everyone truly understands who controls it.

Many people know that they must not disclose their mnemonic phrase, but they may not understand how it differs from a private key or why they may still be able to recover a wallet after losing their phone.

To understand these questions, we first need to clarify three concepts.

I. What is a private key?

A private key is a piece of secret information used for cryptographic signing. In many blockchain wallets,

Bad Boy Watch: SPCX Update 11.11
The Big Rocket closed at 143.09 in U.S. trading on Tuesday, up 0.72%. Its intraday high was 144.89 and its low was 139.16.
Musk has been making moves lately. As long as the AI narrative continues, spcx can stay in an upward channel.
Looking at the candlestick chart, U.S. shares closed at the 20-day moving average. For any new buys, wait for the 5-day moving average to rise and form a golden cross with the 10- and 20-day moving averages. That would provide strong support for the spcx share price, allowing it to go on to make new highs.

Making money from trading is what gives you confidence and conviction,
Lately, I was close to breaking down,
If I keep losing, I’ll start doubting myself, damn it.
I took a trip to the seaside to escape for a bit. I don’t feel quite so bad now; with the sea breeze blowing, my mind feels more open and at peace,
I’ll slowly earn back what I lost,
As long as I stay in the game, my chance will come.

Folks, household credit card debt in the U.S. has hit a record high: $1.29 trillion. Is this just another story about "debt," or is it a warning sign regarding the most fragile link in the global liquidity cycle? The short answer: the latter. Because as debt levels rise, the cost of carrying that debt is also quietly climbing.

According to the latest report from the New York Fed, credit card balances grew by $22 billion in the third quarter, reaching $1.29 trillion—an annual increase of $52 billion. Total household debt has also reached a record $19.1 trillion. But here’s the real issue: as o

What Is a DEX? How Is It Different from a Centralized Exchange?

In the Web3 world, there is more than one way to trade crypto assets.

Some people are used to using centralized exchanges (CEXs), while others connect their wallets directly and trade through decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

They may all seem to let you buy and sell tokens, but they differ significantly in their trading mechanisms, control over funds, and risk profiles.

I. How Are Trades Executed?

Centralized exchanges are usually operated by platforms that handle order matching, account management, and maintenance of the trad

Gate’s Global Compliance Expansion: Building Trust Beyond Borders
In the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency industry, success is no longer measured by trading volume, market share, or the number of listed digital assets alone. The real strength of a global cryptocurrency exchange lies in its ability to build trust, maintain transparency, protect users, and operate within regulatory frameworks across different countries.
This is where Gate’s expanding global compliance footprint, covering 81 regulated jurisdictions, becomes an important milestone.

Crypto has finally found a new narrative: no more hyping vapor—trade the real world directly!

Crypto has never been short of new narratives. DeFi, NFT, GameFi, SocialFi—each sounded grander than the last, but many projects ultimately had nothing left but fundraising decks and empty communities.
But prediction markets seem to have taken a different path.
They don’t need to create a virtual world first; they bring the real world straight to the trading interface. Whether the Fed will cut rates, Bitcoin’s year-end price, the World Cup winner, the outcome of the U.S. election—events that already

US October CPI Data: Will the Fed Return to a "Hawkish" Stance?

My view: The October inflation figures increase the risk that the Fed may adopt a more "hawkish" stance (favoring a tighter monetary policy); however, a single CPI report that exceeds expectations is not sufficient to confirm a lasting shift in monetary policy.

The core issue here is whether inflation is becoming persistent once again, or if the increase in October is merely transitory.

Why Does the Same Trading Strategy Make Money in a Bull Market but Keep Losing in a Sideways Market?

Many traders have had this experience: the same trading strategy delivers consecutive profits in a bull market, but starts triggering frequent stop-losses when the market enters a sideways phase. What exactly is going wrong?

First, the market structure has changed. Bull markets usually have a clear upward trend, with prices forming a series of higher highs and higher lows, making it easier for trend-following strategies to capture market moves. But in sideways markets, prices often fluctuate

What Will Truly Be Valuable in the Future Is Not the Most Powerful Model, but the Most Profitable AI Company

The AI industry is undergoing an important shift.
In the past, people debated whose model was the smartest, who could top the leaderboards, and whose models had more parameters.
Now, more and more investors are starting to focus on another question: Who can truly turn AI into a profitable business?
OpenAI's revenue growth and expanding enterprise business show that AI commercialization is accelerating. At the same time, costs for computing power, energy, R&D, and infrastructure are tes

Why can a trading strategy with a high win rate still lose money over the long term?

A trading strategy with an 80% win rate sounds excellent, doesn’t it?

But suppose you make 100 trades, win 80 times and earn $10 each time, and lose 20 times and lose $50 each time.

What’s the final result?

Profits: 80 × 10 = $800

Losses: 20 × 50 = $1,000

A net loss of $200, without even accounting for fees and slippage.

That’s why you can’t evaluate a trading strategy by win rate alone.

I. Why can a high win rate still lose money?

What truly determines long-term returns is the relationship between wi

How Can You Identify Shared Risks in Your Portfolio During Market Panic?

In the cryptocurrency market, assets that perform differently under normal conditions may fall together during periods of sharp volatility. If you only look at the number of assets you hold, it is easy to assume your funds are sufficiently diversified while overlooking the possibility that different assets share the same underlying risk factors.

First, check the correlation between assets. If two coins move similarly over a period of time, they may be affected by common factors. But correlation changes with market condi

How Should You Read Order Book Depth? How to Identify Real Buying and Selling Pressure

In crypto trading, many people see buy orders piling up and assume the price has support; they see a dense cluster of sell orders and conclude that the market is about to fall. But the order book only shows current orders—it does not guarantee future market moves.

What is order book depth? Simply put, it shows limit buy and sell orders at different price levels. Buy orders are usually below the current trading price, while sell orders are usually above it. Looking at these orders can help us understand the
