Strategy (MSTR) Faces Index Removal Under Finalized MSCI Rules
MSCI has finalized a rule change that threatens to remove Bitcoin treasury companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy from its widely tracked equity indexes, a move that could cut off a significant source of passive investment demand for their shares.
In an announcement dated Oct. 15, the index provider said it will treat “non-operating companies” as ineligible for inclusion in the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes, implementing a proposal it floated in August with minor modifications. The change takes effect at the close of Nov.

MUFG, with ¥425,581.7 billion in assets, has completed a joint yen stablecoin trial with SMBC and Mizuho, Japan's other two megabanks. The trial ran issuance, transfer and redemption for payments between Mitsubishi Corporation's offices in Japan and overseas.

📊 Copper hit a record: US$ 6,95 per pound, outpacing gold by ~20% in 2026. What lesson does this hold for people holding USDT in Venezuela?
The metals market is putting on an uncommon show. Copper climbed to a new record of US$ 6,95 per pound on September 22, gaining close to 20% so far this year and more than 46% over twelve months. Meanwhile, gold—the traditional safe haven—barely moved: just +0,02% over the same period.
For Venezuelan traders who check the USDT exchange rate on P2P markets every day, this story hits close to home. It’s the same movie we see on our exchange platforms: when

$PROM Bottom line: The trend structure remains bullish, but the risk-reward of chasing higher has deteriorated. A pullback that holds above the moving averages would be the actionable window for going long.
Here’s a reusable way to read the chart: to assess whether a trend is healthy, don’t just look at whether the price is rising—look at the “moving average alignment + distance between price and the upper Bollinger Band + whether momentum indicators are confirming.” PROM’s MA5=5.0094 is above MA20=4.84135, with short- and medium-term moving averages aligned bullishly—this is the first sign of

I'm monitoring $Q closely.
If I spot a better short setup, I'll definitely tweet it.
$Q has been giving repeated opportunities, liquidating both longs and shorts. Just look a few candles back.
It has liquidated the longs for now, and I think shorts could be next.

This week, my streams mainly focused on BTC and ETH
There wasn't much movement Monday and Tuesday, so I traded SAND a bit
The trades all came through Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I watched the charts, patiently waiting for take-profit, and the funny thing was that my short take-profit at 808 was hit by a wick right at 80800.0

WCTC Season 9: Smart Strategy Matters More Than Trading Volume
Every trading competition tests more than how much a participant can trade. It also tests strategy, discipline, market understanding, risk management, and the ability to make decisions under pressure. Gate WCTC Season 9 gives traders an opportunity to challenge themselves, compete with the global trading community, and demonstrate how effectively they understand different markets.
My original view is that successful participation requires more than chasing a leaderboard position. Traders need to

🚨 $SNXXG : Whales are cooking something big!
Chart Update.
Look at this clean price action on $SNXXG. The order book is heavy and the accumulation zone between $13.20 and $13.50 is holding like iron. Whales are buying every single dip here while paper hands are getting shaken out.
The structure on the 4H frame is clear. Price action looks clean and we are currently hovering right around $13.86. Volume is slowly creeping up, which means the fuse is lit. If we successfully flip the $14.50 resistance into support, macros will send this straight to the next major target at $15.20.
Don't let the

is it still being shunned by the market?

On October 16, local time,
Strategy (MSTR) shares plunged about 9.8%,

One of the triggers
was index provider MSCI preparing to tighten its index inclusion rules.
Companies like Strategy, which hold large amounts of digital assets and have business models similar to investment funds,

$UNI SHORT SETUP — SELLERS TAKING CONTROL 📉
Entry: 7.18 – 7.28 (Short) SL: 7.42 TP1: 7.10 TP2: 7.00 TP3: 6.90 TP4: 6.75
$UNI is showing bearish pressure on the 1H chart, with lower highs and repeated rejection near 7.35.
As long as price stays below 7.42, further downside remains possible. A sustained breakout above 7.42 would invalidate this setup.
