Forced closures of leveraged bets dropped to $244.2M on Oct 16, 61.9% below the $640.8M recorded the day before. That also left the day under the past week's average, with $ETH taking the most losses of any coin.

🛢️ PDVSA targets 400,000 barrels per day in the Western Basin: a P2P perspective.
At the II Energy, Oil and Gas Conference (CEPEG 2026, Maracaibo), PDVSA President Héctor Obregón presented the projection: the country’s Western Basin could end 2026 producing around 400,000 barrels per day. That region would be one of the pillars supporting the state-owned company’s goal of reaching 1.3 million barrels per day nationwide by year-end. According to the event, that growth would be driven by coordination among oil and gas industry groups.

zcash:native Showing Strength Is 1,228 the Next Target?
ZEC has bounced strongly from 1,133 support and is now trading near 1,173, with buyers gradually regaining control.
Holding above 1,165 could fuel a recovery towards 1,200 and 1,228. A breakout above 1,228 would strengthen bullish momentum.
Losing 1,165 could trigger a pullback towards 1,138–1,133 support. A breakdown below this zone would weaken the recovery setup.
Are you expecting a breakout or another rejection?

BTC at $81,700—can you still hold?
Down 35% from ATH, with ETFs seeing consecutive outflows and everyone shouting “the bull market is over”—but just now, the price is holding firmly at $81,700, right at institutions’ ETF cost basis. Is this the last chance to escape, or are institutions defending the price?
First, the surface picture: bad news keeps coming, but the price hasn’t collapsed.
Down slightly over 24 hours, trading between $80,800 and $82,800. It has pulled back 35% from its October 2025 ATH of $126,000. ETFs saw net outflows of $500-600 million in October, led by IBIT and FBTC. Macr

📊 Crypto Daily | Evening of October 17: Brent crude surges past $110! BTC retests $81,700, but liquidations plunge 65%—the calm before the storm?

Guys, today’s market action is really interesting: BTC retested around $81,700 (24h: -0.7%), with an intraday low of $80,809—testing again the support it held yesterday. But strangely, 24h liquidations across the market plunged to about $320 million, down 65% from yesterday—both bulls and bears have backed off; nobody wants to make the first move.

Market conditions:

1. Oil prices surge in after-hours trading: Brent crude briefly broke above $1

This absolutely has to keep helping all those useless get-rich dreamers fulfill their dreams!
A major change has emerged on the FIL supply side: annual new issuance is expected to drop by about 75%. But can this drive a sustained price rally this time?
On October 15, the six-year vesting period for Filecoin allocations to Protocol Labs and the Filecoin Foundation ended. Annual new FIL issuance is expected to fall from about 88 million to about 22 million.
Note that this is not a direct halving of block rewards, but a supply change resulting from the end of early token vesting.
