Oil just ripped toward $100 and I think this matters more for $BTC than most people realise
CPI already printed 3.7% this week and the Fed is in a hiking cycle, with the next meeting on October 27 and 28
Every leg higher in oil makes it harder for them to back off

Not enough of you understand this, and it could be the difference between you being broke or rich.
STOP FLIP-FLOPPING BETWEEN BULLISH AND BEARISH.
If you loved a token at +5% this morning, you should love it even more at -5% this afternoon.
Have some f**king conviction once in life. F**k.

BTC is seriously badass! How did that wick happen, nicely done

Oddly familiar price action on ES.
Id like to see some bullish news over the weekend, especially from Trump.

What the market does best is crush your rationality with a sharp rally.
On 10.16, while everyone online was shouting “the bearish news is exhausted and the market is reversing,” Tong Ge’s strategy was: short at 823-828, stop loss at 845.
Why short? Because BlackRock was selling, CPI/PPI were all bearish, yet the market surged against the trend. This wasn’t a reversal; it was a classic shakeout and position rotation.
The high was 82900, landing precisely in the ambush zone, then it plunged all the way to 80800, capturing a 2100-point move!
Trading has never been about betting on whether prices

$BTC went under 80k. Buyers stepped in.
CPI came in at 3.7%. PPI hit 6.3%, highest in four years. Both hotter than people expected.
Longs got liquidated. Around 900M. Mostly guys who were betting price keeps going up.
Fed already raised rates once in September. Next meeting is October 27-28. These are the last big inflation numbers before they decide.
Some people think they skip October. Others say the numbers are too hot so they move. Energy is still the main thing. If it cools fast they can wait. If it stays high they have less room.
Higher US rates pull money from risk assets everywhere. Sa

Which Step Is Most Likely to Mislead You in This $TSLAB Market Move?
$TSLAB There’s a classic debate playing out now: one side points to the 24-hour -2.28% move as proof of direction, while the other counters with key levels. I’m not taking sides based on the price move for now. $TSLAB is oversold, but confirmation of a bottom still requires stabilization, and that hasn’t been fully established. I treat oversold conditions as a reason for a rebound, not proof of a bottom; only after it stops making new lows is it worth talking about a reversal.
Neither timeframe has delivered a definitive verd

Trader Gu Jingci: Bitcoin/Ethereum short strategy validated successfully again
Bitcoin/Ethereum longs entered yesterday as the market rebounded from the bottom. Then, during the rally, a short entry was recommended. Tonight, as prices surged, an ETH short at the market price of 2480 was recommended, along with adding to the short. The market pulled back and fell after surging, with lows so far near 80800 and 2390. The shorts took off successfully, and those who added to their shorts captured especially good gains. Congratulations to everyone who followed the strategy. #美国9月PPI大超预期 #GateWCTCS9全

📊 The radar shows a 2.35% spread… but the executable order book shows just 0.16%.
Both figures describe the same P2P market on 28-S: one gives you the big-picture view of the day, while the other shows the actual price you can close a trade at.
The nominal spread (2.35%) is the one shown by the radar: it averages all buy and sell listings in the market. It includes offers with minimum amounts you don’t meet, banks you don’t use, and payment methods that don’t work for you. It’s the market’s “typical” cost overall.
The effective spread (0.16%) is the one shown by the live order book: the gap b
