BTC Market Analysis: Open Interest Declines as Selling Pressure Persists
Open Interest Signals Position Closing
BTCUSDT open interest has dropped 0.94% over the past hour, while price declined just 0.03%. This combination suggests that positions are being closed rather than a significant wave of new positions entering the market. However, open-interest data alone cannot determine whether the closures are predominantly long or short positions.

WCTC Season 9: Strategy Before Speed — How I’m Preparing for 30 Days of Competition
The WCTC Season 9 Global Trading Competition is now open for registration, but the real challenge begins on October 26. In my opinion, this preparation period is just as important as the competition itself. A strong trader does not enter simply to chase rewards or climb a leaderboard. The real objective is to understand the rules, manage risk, and make decisions based on a clear strategy.
1. Understand the Timeline Before Entering
Registration runs from October 9 to October

$BTC
BTC is holding the 4H SuperTrend, but bulls still need to flip $84.35K into support.
Spot entry: $81.8K–$82.5K
TPs: $84.35K / $86K / $87.4K
SL: $80.9K
Reclaim $84.35K and we could send it toward $86K+. Lose $81.18K and this setup is cooked.

Buckle up. "Soon"

Up late watching the charts, I came across something: Hong Kong is set to list its second spot SOL ETF tomorrow, from Pando, and the ticker has already been decided.
A seasoned crypto veteran’s first reaction to news like this is disbelief. With ETFs, it’s a story before launch and liquidity after launch; the period in between is the easiest time for someone to use it to unload. I reduced my position too early during the US spot ETF wave in the first half of the year and missed out on a further leg up—I still remember it. Then I chased the news and added back, only to take another hit. Anyway,

The Fear & Greed Index remains in the greed zone at 69, but $KAIA has plunged 11.28% over 24h to 0.0464, clearly diverging from overall market sentiment. On the moving-average front, MA5=0.0471 has fallen below MA20=0.04931, confirming a bearish alignment; RSI=25.6 is deep in oversold territory, while the MACD histogram at -0.0001717 maintains bearish momentum. The price is near the lower Bollinger Band at 0.045619, and the 17.67% amplitude over 30 candles indicates that selling pressure has been largely released. The funding rate has turned negative at -0.0174%, indicating that shorts are be

My friend from Algeria told me that PKO Bank Polski (one of the largest banks in Poland) refused to open an account for them.

The key word: WAS.
Algeria was removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List on June 19, 2026.

$LUMIA The most unusual detail today is not the 16-point drop, but that the funding rate is still positive at +0.0050%. The price has broken below MA5 and MA20, RSI is only 40.1, and the MACD bearish histogram continues to expand, yet longs are still paying shorts—this shows that those chasing longs have not exited, while shorts are profiting from the price difference and collecting funding on top. Under this structure, rebounds are easily sold into and declines can accelerate.
From the long-short battle perspective, the 24h amplitude is as high as 52.74%, and the lower Bollinger Band at 0.10

VVVUSDT October 12, 2026: Direction, Market Is Hesitant
VVVUSDT is trading around 23,547, down -4.66% over the past 24 hours after failing to hold the intraday high at 25,540. The market is currently in a range phase with selling pressure, and there is no viable buy or sell setup to execute.
What Happened Today?
VVVUSDT attempted to rise to 25,540, but was immediately rejected sharply and fell to 23,267 — today’s low. The price is now holding just slightly above that low.
What is interesting: this decline occurred after a bounce from the 21.3–22.16 area (October 8–10). This means the market ha

Ugh, in that case I shouldn't have set SL+ 😅. It should have hit TP 200% ✌. Scalping is very enjoyable. 😇
