One Long-Form Article to Read Each Week:
This week, I read an article about AI. It mainly discussed the question: “Does AI really have a bubble?”
When AI investment truly becomes excessive, who will ultimately bear the debt?
According to estimates, cumulative investment in U.S. AI data centers, chips, power, and network infrastructure from 2025—2032 could reach an astonishing $10.3 trillion, equivalent to an average of 3.63% of U.S. GDP per year. Measured relative to the size of the economy, this would even surpass the infrastructure booms associated with U.S. railroads, highways, electrification, and telecommunications.
So can AI generate enough money? If it cannot, who will bear the cost of the money already spent?
When investments are funded by cash flow,
a bubble bursts,
and shareholders are hurt first.
But when more and more investments begin to rely on debt, SPVs, private credit, and asset securitization,
things change.
Because when the next AI market rally truly reaches a turning point,
what we may need to watch is no longer just the Nasdaq.
It is—
whether cracks have first appeared in the credit markets.
If they have,
those cracks
may be the signal that this round of AI super-capital-expenditure cycle has truly entered its second half.
Although this risk has not emerged yet,
it is becoming increasingly difficult to see.

SOL at $119—are you buying the dip?
The ETF has poured in $1.6 billion over three months, stablecoin supply has hit a new all-time high, and everyone is shouting “SOL is going to surge to 150”—but just now, the price was slammed from 123.8 back to 119, while the funding rate briefly turned negative. Is this the final shakeout before the main uptrend, or are bullish catalysts exhausted, leaving late buyers stranded at the top?
First, the surface view: the breakout failed, but the trend is intact.
On October 2, SOL surged to 123.8 but failed to hold, retreating to around 119. The daily price remains above all major moving averages, the 50-day moving average is still above the 200-day, and RSI is around 63—in the strong zone, but no longer expanding. The candlesticks tell you this: 116-125 has formed a range, which is digestion, not collapse. But the directional edge is thin, and there will be plenty of false breakouts.
First point: this rally was not driven by a technical miracle—it was bought with real money.
U.S. spot SOL ETF net inflows had exceeded $1.6 billion cumulatively by late September, with assets under management approaching $2 billion. In the week of September 21-25, inflows reached $188 million, the second-highest single-week total since launch.
In plain English: Wall Street is buying, and has been buying continuously for more than a dozen weeks.
But—in early October, this incremental buying clearly slowed. That is why you saw price fail to hold above 124.
This is the painful part:
It is not that SOL is finished; buyers are temporarily catching their breath. You think it is a top, but it is actually a gas station.
On-chain data is even stronger: stablecoin supply has reached a new high of approximately $17.3 billion, RWA has hit a new record, and the number of addresses holding tokenized stocks has surpassed one million. On September 17, the SEC granted tokenized stocks a five-year exemption, with Solana as a major beneficiary.
Institutional use cases have already landed; this is not a PowerPoint presentation.
Second point: fundamentals are improving, but there is one serious flaw that must be marked down.
The Alpenglow upgrade is nearing activation: the fault-tolerance threshold will rise from 33% to 40%, voting will move off-chain, and finality will become faster with cheaper transactions. This is a medium-term narrative, and the price has already partially priced it in.
However—
Base-layer fee capture remains weak. Validators take the lion’s share of fees, while the share distributed to token holders has fallen from approximately 68% at the beginning of the year to around 27%. The staking rate is close to 70%, with an annualized yield of 5%—this locks up supply and supports the price, but does not mean the token itself is earning the network’s money.
Fee-distribution reform has not yet been implemented.
In simple terms:
SOL’s network is making money, but SOL token holders are receiving less and less of it. In the medium-term holding thesis, this is the only point that keeps people up at night.
Third point: technically, 119 is sitting just below the pivot.
Daily chart: the bullish structure remains intact, but momentum has flattened. From mid-September, SOL rose from 100 to 125, then formed a range at 116-125.
4-hour chart: the October 2 attempt at 123.8 failed, sending price back to the middle of the range. MACD is nearly flat, longs are crowded, and funding turned negative during some periods—those chasing longs are reducing positions; this is not a new main uptrend.
Key levels (perpetuals):
Resistance above: 119.8-120.6 → 122.8-124.4 → 125-127 → 135 (upper channel boundary)
Support below: 118.2 → 116.5 → 113.7-112.3 (range bottom + 20-day moving average)
Only a daily close below 113.7 would change the structure from a “range” to a “deeper pullback,” with the next zone at 108-110.
Only a reclaim and hold above 124.4 would put 127/130 in view.
You decide who wins the bull-bear battle
On one side:
$1.6 billion in cumulative ETF inflows, with net buying for more than a dozen consecutive weeks
Stablecoins + RWA + tokenized stocks: institutional use cases have landed
The daily bullish structure remains intact, with price above all moving averages
The Alpenglow upgrade is a medium-term positive catalyst
On the other:
ETF inflows clearly slowed in early October, and buyers cannot hold above 124
Fee capture is weak, with the share distributed to holders falling from 68% to 27%
If BTC breaks below 83100, SOL’s 116 will likely break as well
Funding has turned negative, and long chasers are reducing positions
Trading strategy (no fluff, perpetuals perspective)
Keep the risk on each trade below 1% of your account. A $3-5 daily move in SOL is completely normal.
Within the range (most likely scenario right now):
Do not chase at 119. If a rebound to 122.8-124.4 produces a high-volume upper wick and the 4-hour candle fails to reclaim the level, short lightly, with a stop above 125.5 and targets at 118.2/116.5. If a pullback to 116.5-118.2 produces a long lower wick showing a failure to break down, buy in batches, with a stop below 115 and targets at 120.6/123.
Breakout trades:
Only look for 127-130 after a 4-hour close firmly above 124.4 on increased volume, with a stop if price closes back below 122. If the daily close falls below 116.5 and fails to reclaim it, move short targets down to 113.7/112.
Invalidation conditions:
If BTC effectively breaks below 83100, SOL’s 116 will be difficult to hold independently, so reduce leverage. If the ETF records net outflows for several consecutive days, downgrade breakout trades above 124.
Here is the harsh truth:
You think 125 is too high, and when it drops to 119 you still do not dare buy—so when exactly do you want to get on board?
SOL is currently at the middle of the range after failing to break 124; the daily bullish structure remains intact, while the short term is grinding around the pivot.
Wait for one side to be decisively broken on the 4-hour chart before adding to your position. Do not go heavily leveraged at 119 to gamble on direction.#OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #核心PCE与GDP终值 $BTC $ETH $SOL

$BTC investors that bought the top are currently selling.
Two cohorts sit underwater: buyers from 1–2 years ago at $97k, and from 6–12 months ago at $89k.
Those who bought the 2025 rally are selling the most coins per day this year. Those who bought the decline are not.

AAVE at $180—are you chasing it?
The governance proposal would transfer all trademarks and IP to the DAO, while Aavenomics 3.0 is still evaluating a permanent burn mechanism. As soon as the news broke, AAVE surged from 159 to 187 in two days, up 18%. But just now, it crashed back to 180, with futures volume at one point nearing $1.1 billion. Is this a genuine narrative upgrade, or distribution after a short squeeze?
First, the surface view: the positive news landed, yet the price gave back gains.
It spiked to 187.5 on October 2, crashed to a low of 176 today, and is now repeatedly testing around 180. Daily RSI at 72 is overbought, ADX at 41 shows the trend is still intact, and after the 4-hour surge, the chart is pulling back in a flag pattern. The candlesticks tell you one thing: the trend has not broken, but do not blindly chase in the middle.
First point: this rally is not about the token price—it is about “ownership.”
On October 2, Aave Labs dropped a bombshell: establishing a Cayman Islands foundation without members and transferring the trademarks, domains, and protocol IP entirely to the DAO.
Don’t understand? Let me put it in plain English:
Previously, AAVE token holders were merely “users”; now they are set to become “shareholders.” Who owns the trademarks, who owns the IP, and whether they can be sold will be decided by token holders going forward. The foundation has no voting or veto rights, while the DAO retains control over appointing and removing directors and amending the charter.
What level of significance is this?
This is the first time in DeFi history that a leading protocol has genuinely returned the legal ownership of its core assets to token holders. Combined with the permanent burn mechanism in Aavenomics 3.0 mentioned by Stani at the same time—if implemented, that would be a nuclear-level upgrade to the supply narrative.
But remember this:
The burn is currently only an “expectation,” not a “fact.” Expectations can drive prices up, but they can also drive them down.
Second point: the protocol itself is stronger than you think.
Don’t just focus on the governance proposal; AAVE’s fundamentals are the real trump card:
V4 deposits topped $1 billion for the first time, with active loans at $310 million
Arc has launched, Base is live, and Coinbase’s tokenized stocks can be used as collateral through Equities Hub
The official MCP service is live, allowing AI agents to read the protocol directly
The ongoing buyback is still running: the DAO’s annual budget is $50 million, buying $250,000 to $1.75 million per week
15.4 million in circulation, 16 million total supply, and a market cap of $2.5-$2.8 billion. It is still nowhere near the historical high of 660.
In plain English:
AAVE is not a meme; it is DeFi’s “central bank.” Whether you are depositing, borrowing, liquidating, or providing collateral, it is hard to avoid. With a protocol like this, buyers step in when it falls, and holders are reluctant to sell when it rises.
Third point: there is a signal on the technical chart that must be watched carefully.
From October 1 to 2, it rose from 159 to 187 in two days, up 18%, but futures trading and the share of short liquidations were not insignificant, with futures volume at one point nearing $1.1 billion.
The positive news is real, but part of the rally was driven by a short squeeze.
That is why it could not hold above 187, and a return to 180 is completely normal. Daily RSI at 72 is already overbought, while the 15-minute RSI has returned to 52, meaning short-term bulls are taking a break. Structurally, this is the first meaningful pullback after the main advance, and 180 happens to sit in the middle of the retracement—the risk-reward ratio is average, not an ideal entry point.
Remember the key levels:
Resistance: 183-185 → 187.5-188 → 196 → 200 (psychological level)
Support: 176-175 → 170 (launch zone) → 162
A daily close below 175 would only signal weakness; an effective break below 170 would constitute a “deeper correction.”
You decide who wins the bulls-versus-bears battle
On one side:
The proposal to transfer IP to the DAO—the first ownership revolution in DeFi history
The Aavenomics 3.0 burn mechanism is on the way
V4 deposits have surpassed $1 billion, while Base/Arc/Coinbase collateral support is being rolled out across the board
The $50 million annual buyback continues to provide support
Clearly outperforming BTC, with an independent event-driven rally
On the other side:
Daily RSI at 72 is overbought, and an 18% two-day rally needs time to digest
The gains above 187 contained short-squeeze-driven excess
BTC is stuck in the 83000-87200 range, with the October 14 inflation data posing a major test
If the governance vote is rejected or the terms are substantially revised, the narrative will be repriced immediately
Trading strategy (no nonsense)
This is about structure, not a call to buy or sell. Keep the risk on any single trade below 1% of your account; an $8-$10 daily move in AAVE is normal.
Buy the pullback (more aligned with the daily chart):
Don’t chase 180. Prefer to wait for 176-175 to show a long lower wick indicating a rebound, or for the 4-hour chart to reclaim the level, then scale in, with a stop below 172. First target 185; if it holds, look toward 187.5/196. Only consider a breakout trade if it closes above 188 on increased volume, with a stop below a reclaim of 183 and targets at 196-200.
Short-term short (only on rejection):
If a volume-backed upper wick appears on a rebound to 185-188 and the 4-hour chart fails to reclaim the level, take a small short position, with a stop above 190 and initial targets at 176/175. Don’t try to call a top in the middle around 180; overbought RSI can remain overbought.
Invalidation conditions:
If the daily close breaks below 175 and fails to reclaim it, exit long positions and look toward 170/162. If BTC decisively breaks below 83100, AAVE’s relative strength will also come under pressure, so reduce leverage.
AAVE now looks like UNI in 2020—
Everyone thought “governance tokens are useless,” but when DeFi Summer arrived, it took off.
You think AAVE at 180 has already risen too much.
When it returns to 660, will you blame yourself for not even having the courage to buy the pullback at 175?
What you lack is not opportunity, but the patience to hold onto it.#OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #核心PCE与GDP终值 $BTC $ETH $AAVE

The Fed is highly unlikely to raise interest rates in October. According to the latest CME data, the probability of keeping rates unchanged in October has risen to 77.9%.
However, don’t assume that seeing “no rate hike” means the uncertainty is over. A closer look at the data shows that by December, the probability of a cumulative rate hike is still close to 70%.
October looks more like a “pause for breath” during a period of high interest rates, rather than a shift toward rate cuts.
So October will likely continue to see wide-ranging sideways volatility.

BTC at $84,600—are you buying the dip?
A shocking NFP miss sent BTC surging to 87,220, and everyone was calling for the bull market to return—only for it to crash back to 84,600 two days later, with long and short liquidation clusters on both sides. Is this a dip-buying opportunity, or are market manipulators using the data to unload?
Look at the surface: one green candle changes everyone’s view, and one red candle makes everything seem over.
September NFP added just 29,000 jobs versus expectations of 80,000-90,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2% and wage growth also slowed. After the data came out, the probability of a rate hike in October fell from 64% to 20%, and BTC shot straight to 87,220. Then what happened? The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rebounded from 5.16% to 5.27%, with a rate hike still priced in for December. Risk assets gave back their gains, and BTC returned to 84,600.
Retail traders are confused: who should they believe?
Remember this: NFP tells you rate hikes may stop, while Treasury yields tell you not to celebrate too soon. The market is slapping you back and forth between these two signals.
First: ETF inflows are cooling, but Citi is calling for 113,000.
Spot ETFs were the core buying force behind this rally from 65,000, but inflows have clearly cooled since the September peak. That is why the push toward 87,000 is losing momentum.
But Citi raised its 12-month target from 82,000 to 113,000, citing a recovery in ETF inflows and the fiscal deficit narrative.
Translation: there is no ammunition in the short term, but there is a story for the medium term. If you trade short-term volatility, do not use a long-term narrative to give yourself false confidence.
Second: on-chain liquidation clusters—fuel on both sides.
Long and short liquidation clusters are concentrated at 83,500, 85,100, and 87,700. What does that mean? Whichever direction the market manipulators pull, they can liquidate a crowd of traders. That is why you will see prices repeatedly sweep between 83,000 and 87,200, with plenty of false breakouts.
Do not guess the direction in the middle of the range. That is what gamblers do.
Third: technicals say this is a range, not the start of a major downtrend.
Daily chart: price is above all major moving averages, the 50-day is above the 200-day, and RSI is at 60-63—still in a strong zone, but down from overbought levels. Price is near the Bollinger middle band, with the upper band at 89,000 and the lower band at 76,000.
4-hour chart: after surging to 87,220, price pulled back and is grinding within the 83,000-87,200 flag. The middle band is at 84,200, and the current 84,600 is just above the midpoint.
Key levels:
Resistance: 85,200 → 86,500-86,800 → 87,220-87,700
Support: 84,200-84,000 → 83,100-83,500 → 82,000 → 80,000
A daily close below 84,000 would only signal weakness; only a decisive break below 82,000 would change the structure from “high-level consolidation” to a “deeper retracement.”
The bull-bear showdown—judge for yourself
On one side:
A shocking NFP miss, a sharp drop in rate-hike odds, and a neutral-to-bullish macro backdrop
The weekly and daily bullish structures remain intact
Citi raised its target to 113,000, and ETFs remain supportive over the medium to long term
No new supply-side shock after the halving
On the other side:
Treasury yields rebounded, with a rate hike still priced in for December
ETF inflows are cooling, and the rally lacks volume
Liquidation clusters are being swept on both sides, with many false breakouts
Macro pricing may fluctuate repeatedly before the October 14 inflation data
At 84,600, BTC is 2,600 dollars below the top of the range at 87,220 and 1,500 dollars above the bottom at 83,100.
Resistance above: 85,200 → 86,500-86,800 → 87,220-87,700
Support below: 84,200-84,000 → 83,100-83,500 → 82,000 → 80,000
Trading strategy
Sell high and buy low within the range:
At 84,600, price is in the middle of the range, so the risk-reward ratio is mediocre—do not chase. If a rebound into 86,500-87,200 is rejected and the 4-hour chart fails to reclaim that level, open a small short position, with a stop-loss above 87,800 and targets at 84,200 / 83,500. If price falls to 83,500-83,100 and forms a long lower wick indicating a rejection of further declines, scale into longs, with a stop-loss below 82,800 and targets at 85,200 / 86,500.
Breakout trades:
Only look for 88,500-89,000 if the 4-hour candle closes firmly above 87,220 on rising volume, with a stop-loss if price closes back below 86,500. If the daily candle closes below 83,100 and fails to reclaim it, move short targets down to 82,000 / 80,000.
Conditions for staying on the sidelines:
When price repeatedly sweeps between 84,200 and 85,200 on shrinking volume, reduce leverage or stay flat. Before the inflation data on October 14, range trading is appropriate, while holding highly leveraged positions overnight is not.
Keep the risk on any single trade below 1% of your account. Do not take a large position in advance to bet on the direction at 84,600.
BTC now looks like a tightly compressed spring—
On one side is the expectation of a pause in rate hikes; on the other is the rebound in Treasury yields. Whoever lets go first will trigger the next move.
84,600 is neither the top nor the bottom—it is the slaughterhouse where both bulls and bears get liquidated. #OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #核心PCE与GDP终值 $BTC $ETH $SOL

ZEC at $1,315—are you buying the dip?
ZEC went from 50 to 1,700, and you watched from the sidelines the whole way. Now that it has pulled back to 1,315, you’re panicking? Let me tell you a painful truth: this round of shakeout is designed to slaughter late chasers.
First, the surface: 1,315, with a 24-hour high of 1,402 and low of 1,279, showing intraday weakness. It has fallen 22% from the ten-year high of 1,700. But this year it went from 50 to 1,700, with its market cap surging to $22 billion and entering the top ten. This isn’t a crash, but high-level deleveraging after the September parabola. Daily RSI is 49, the MACD histogram has turned negative, momentum is weakening, but the trend hasn’t reversed. The 4-hour chart is bearish, RSI is at 38–39, and the price has fallen below the acceleration channel.
First: the ETF is already listed, opening the institutional access channel.
Grayscale’s spot ZCSH ETF listed on NYSE Arca on August 25, with approximately $300 million in net inflows in September.
In plain English: privacy coins have, for the first time, gained a legitimate institutional gateway.
Paradigm has publicly called ZEC “Bitcoin’s privacy complement,” while Cypherpunk Technologies is accumulating and mining the coin. While you’re still wondering whether “privacy coins will be banned,” institutions are already placing bids to buy at 1,270–1,300.
You’re worried about EU regulation in 2027, worried that THORChain will be investigated, worried about this and that. But you’ve forgotten that ZEC rose from 50 to 1,700 precisely amid this kind of “fear.”
Second: the NU7 code is complete, and ZEC has changed its core architecture.
Block time has been cut from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, the shielded pool share has risen from 11% to 30%, total supply is 21 million, and its halving schedule is aligned with BTC. The community has just approved $8.39 million in retroactive funding, covering security audits, wallets, and Orchard vulnerabilities.
In plain English:
Transactions are faster, and privacy usage is surging
Supply is locked, and the deflationary logic is solid
Development funding is sufficient; this is not a vaporware coin
There is also short-term noise: THORChain’s ZEC pool has launched, but early liquidity is thin and native trading has not been fully activated; THORChain itself is under regulatory scrutiny because stolen funds have passed through it, making it a double-edged sword for privacy coins.
But the fundamentals have not deteriorated. The price simply priced in the “privacy + ETF + supply lockup” narrative too aggressively, and is now in a digestion phase.
Third: a signal has appeared on the technical chart that must be taken seriously.
The weekly/daily trend is still upward. The price remains well above the 50-day moving average (1,080–1,100) and 200-day moving average (600), with the 50-day above the 200-day. From 848 to 1,438 in September, it gained 70% in a single month.
Key support: 1,272–1,280 (the overlapping zone of the 24-hour low and daily 200 EMA); a break below points to 1,244, then the psychological level at 1,200, with deeper support around the 50-day moving average near 1,100.
Key resistance: 1,379–1,402, then 1,440–1,460, followed by the dense previous-high zone at 1,580–1,700.
On the Fibonacci retracement from 1,683, the 23.6% level lies at 1,290–1,350, and the price is currently grinding within this range. The pattern looks more like a “test of the lower boundary of a high-level consolidation” than the end of the main uptrend. But ATR is high, with daily swings frequently exceeding $100, so false breakouts and wicks will be severe.
Bull vs. bear—you decide
On one side:
$300 million in ETF net inflows, opening the institutional access channel
Paradigm’s endorsement, Cypherpunk accumulating and mining
NU7 complete, the shielded pool at 30%, halving aligned with BTC
The weekly bullish trend remains intact, with the 50-day moving average above 1,080
On the other side:
Concentrated bullish liquidations after the September parabola, with OI declining
THORChain’s early liquidity is thin and it is under regulatory scrutiny
EU regulatory risk in 2027 hanging overhead
Bears dominate on the 4-hour chart, with 1,315–1,380 repeatedly swept
The key level is 1,315, just $71 from the life-or-death line at 1,244.
Resistance above: 1,379–1,402 → 1,440–1,460 → 1,580–1,700
Support below: 1,272–1,280 → 1,244 → 1,200 → 1,100
Trading strategy (no fluff)
Short-term shorting (only for those who can watch the market):
At around 1,315, the price is already close to support, so don’t chase shorts. If a rebound to 1,324–1,380 is rejected and the 4-hour chart fails to reclaim the level, consider a small short position, with a stop-loss above 1,405. First target 1,280/1,270; only after a decisive break should you look toward 1,244. Keep the position small because the daily trend remains intact.
Buying the pullback (better aligned with the larger structure):
Prefer waiting for a bullish reversal candle around 1,270–1,244 (long lower wick and high-volume close back up) before entering in batches, with a stop-loss below 1,200. First target 1,379–1,400, then 1,440–1,500 after a confirmed breakout. Only consider chasing a breakout if the price closes above 1,400 on strong volume; otherwise, you could easily get shaken out.
Conditions for staying on the sidelines:
If the price keeps sweeping back and forth between 1,315 and 1,380 with no clear direction, reduce perpetual-contract leverage to a low level or stay flat. Only if the daily close breaks below 1,244 and fails to reclaim it should the medium-term view change from “pullback” to “deeper correction,” with the target lowered toward 1,100.
Position discipline:
Keep the risk on any single trade below 1% of the account. ZEC’s recent volatility is far higher than BTC’s, and high leverage can easily get swept out on both sides in the wick zones around 1,270 and 1,400. Spot can be held for the narrative; perpetuals should only be traded during clearly structured moves.
ZEC now looks just like ETH in 2021—
No one believed in it before the ETF launched; after listing, it was first dumped to shake people out, then rose 10x over the next two years.
You missed the move from 50 to 1,700, and now you don’t dare buy at 1,315.
When it reaches 3,000, you’ll say again, “If only I had bought back then.”

Dr. Kong Jianping @JackKongNano: Investing and making money mainly comes down to luck!
If you believe the “luck” that the big names talk about, you’re being far too naive.
On the surface, it looks like luck, but in reality, it all comes down to top-tier human insight and risk-reward calculations.
Everyone knows that Dr. Kong achieved major results from his investment in ChangXin. Looking back from today’s perspective, the underlying logic is very clear:
1. Contrarian bottom-fishing
In fact, when he participated in Canaan Inc. back then, he was working with hardcore ASIC chip design for mining machines. He was extremely familiar with the semiconductor industry chain, wafer foundries, and the dramatic booms and busts of hardware cycles. In 2020, when ChangXin was at its worst and suffering extremely serious losses, most internet VCs didn’t dare touch this kind of asset-heavy money pit requiring tens or even hundreds of billions in capital expenditures. But he understood the patterns of hardware cycles and recognized that ChangXin, valued at less than 20 billion, was at an extremely low point. That is what contrarian insight looks like.
2. Locking in the downside
Memory chips are the food supply of the entire semiconductor industry and the most critical foundation for China’s independent and controllable technology. On the mainland, there was almost no second company capable of mass-producing general-purpose DRAM. The Hefei government is known as the strongest patient capital provider. Combined with national strategic support, ChangXin’s position was destined from the very beginning to succeed rather than fail. This was equivalent to tying the investment to the strongest local government and the country’s broader fortunes, firmly locking in the downside.
3. The AI supercycle
Over the past few years, AI has exploded, sending HBM and general-purpose DRAM directly into a supercycle. The capacity of the world’s three major memory manufacturers could not meet demand, and chip prices soared. ChangXin seized the opportunity to board this supertrain. After going public, the oversubscribed funds enabled it to immediately invest another tens of billions in technology research and development and testing facilities, taking it directly into the first tier of global competition.
When everyone else was afraid to place their bets, he bought a ticket on a train traveling along the main artery of national strategy. The downside was protected by the Hefei government and domestic substitution, while the upside was maximized by the AI boom and the supercycle. What people call luck was merely the tailwind of the times arriving just after he had calculated all the probabilities and risk-reward ratios.
People without sufficient insight cannot seize the opportunity even when the wind blows their way.

#Bitcoin has historically formed major bottoms when market fear reached extreme levels.
2019: Fear & Greed → 5
2022: Fear & Greed → 6
2026: Fear & Greed → 5
Each time, extreme fear marked a major turning point.
With $BTC now holding above $80K, the key question is:
Was $57,800 the bottom of this cycle?
History doesn’t repeat, but this signal is worth watching. 📊

Today’s AI U.S. Stock Information Edge:
1. September nonfarm payrolls came in below expectations, oil prices fell, and the probability of a rate hike plunged again. $QQQ rose 1.2% to a new high, extending its winning streak to three weeks
2. $NVDA rose 3% to a new high. Institutions have once again listed it as their top pick. Power and data center shortages are benefiting Nvidia because its cards are highly efficient
3. The two worst performers in the S&P tech sector: $STX $WDC plunged 10% because Toshiba’s Philippine subsidiary will expand production, doubling AI data center hard drive capacity next year
4. $SPCX surged 8% after consecutive successful launches. $TSLA surged 5%, delivering 486,000 vehicles in Q3, far exceeding expectations. Electric vehicle sales will soon surpass those of gas-powered vehicles
5. $CBRS hit a new low since going public. Its revenue is highly dependent on large orders from $OpenAI , while OpenAI’s new model switched to Nvidia GPUs

Witness history! SpaceX and Tesla surge, while the Nasdaq hits a new high:
1. SpaceX $SPCX
has been oscillating within a choppy upward channel. Today, it surged 8% and broke through. Pay close attention to the 160 level. Once it breaks above that level on strong volume and holds there, 170–172 will be within reach. If the breakout fails, it will continue its frustrating pattern of choppy, gradual gains.
2. Tesla $TSLA
had been moving like a washboard, making for an unpleasant ride, but Friday’s sharp rally opened up significant room to the upside. As long as it can firmly hold above 370, a strong breakout could come at any time.
3. The Nasdaq 100 $QQQ
has successfully broken through and reached a new all-time high. As long as a pullback can hold the $745–$746 support level, the bull market led by technology stocks is not over yet.
Next week’s trend will reveal all.
SPCX-6.34%
TSLA-0.85%

🔥 BULLISH CALL ON BITCOIN
CryptoQuant CEO says Bitcoin could potentially rise 3–5x from this cycle’s lows, arguing that the bear market ended this summer and a new cycle is already underway.
If this thesis plays out, the move we’ve seen so far may only be the early stage.
Bitcoin has already shown strong recovery momentum, with BTC climbing above $86K in recent weeks and gaining more than 40% during Q3.
The big question now isn’t whether the market has recovered.
It’s how far this new cycle can actually run.
Bulls are clearly thinking much bigger. 🚀

The same bullish catalyst: NVIDIA got the meat, while Bitcoin did not even get the soup
Last night’s September nonfarm payrolls: 29,000 new jobs. Forecast: 90,000. Previous figure revised down to 133,000. Unemployment surged to 4.2%.
This is the last employment report before this month’s interest-rate meeting. Once the data was released, rate-hike expectations fell sharply, and U.S. stocks closed higher across the board.
The Nasdaq rose 1.19%.
NVIDIA hit a record high intraday, with its market cap returning to $5.7 trillion, just one step short of $6 trillion. SpaceX rose 7.35%, Tesla rose 4.65%, Broadcom rose 3.35%, and ASML rose 3.25%.
What about Bitcoin?
After the employment data was released, it briefly surged to $87,000.
Then it was over.
It is now at $84,660, still down 1.48% over 24 hours.
BTC made a complete round trip this week: $82,000→$87,000→$84,000.
$87,000—the third failed breakout attempt.
The same bullish catalyst: some people got the meat, some got the soup, and some could only smell it.
Bitcoin now belongs to the third group. Why has Bitcoin failed to keep up?
The first reason: AI is sucking up the liquidity.
Arthur Hayes said long ago: Since ChatGPT’s explosion, AI companies have absorbed approximately $1.5 trillion in new liquidity, which is the main reason for Bitcoin’s weak performance over the same period.
NVIDIA just announced that it would increase its stock buyback authorization by $150 billion. What does this mean? Global capital is concentrating in one direction—the AI leaders with earnings, buybacks, and certainty.
What does Bitcoin have? A “digital gold” narrative. It has been talked about for five years.
When the neighbor has real earnings backed by real money, what can you use to compete for that capital?
The second reason: U.S. Treasury yields are the real opponent.
BTC’s movements this week have repeatedly confirmed one thing—it is not truly following “rate-hike expectations,” but the actual direction of Treasury yields.
The 10-year Treasury yield remains around 5.3%, while the 30-year yield is above 5.6%.
For a non-yielding asset, this level of yield is a ceiling.
You can earn a risk-free 5.3%, so why bet on an asset that can fall 1.5% in 24 hours?
Every time Treasury yields rise, BTC gets hammered lower. This is not a coincidence; it is capital voting with its feet.
The third reason: $87,000 is an iron ceiling.
This week, BTC went from $82,000→$87,000→$84,000, completing a sharp round trip and pullback.
A small double-top pattern has formed around $87,000, with the neckline at $85,000.
Three breakout attempts, three failures. The first was in mid-September, the second was at the end of September, and the third was last night.
$87,000 is not a resistance level. It is a line drawn by the market with real money—there is more selling pressure than buying pressure at this level.
Some may ask: “What about ETF inflows?”
There were some. On October 1, Bitcoin spot ETFs saw total net inflows of $103 million, while BlackRock’s IBIT saw net inflows of $196 million.
$100 million. Sounds like quite a lot, right?
NVIDIA’s market cap increased by more than $150 billion in a single day.
Your $100 million in ETF inflows was up against $150 billion in market-cap growth.
BlackRock’s IBIT has indeed recorded total historical net inflows of $65.5 billion. But the problem is that the recent inflow pace cannot support a breakout above $87,000.
What Bitcoin needs is sustained, large-scale institutional FOMO—not a token “just showing up” with $100 million a day.
So the current situation is that cooling rate-hike expectations is bullish. But bullish news does not mean capital will inevitably flow into Bitcoin.
When NVIDIA uses real earnings and buybacks to attract global capital, Bitcoin needs something harder than “expectations”—
Sustained net ETF inflows, or a genuinely new narrative that triggers institutional FOMO.
It has neither.
So Bitcoin can only wait at this level for a reason that can convince the market.
The same bullish catalyst: NVIDIA got the meat, while Bitcoin did not even get the soup.
It is not that Bitcoin is not good enough; the current market simply does not need it.
NVIDIA has earnings, buybacks, and certainty. Bitcoin has stories, faith, and the “future.”
But the “future” cannot serve as collateral. A “story” cannot hedge inflation.#OneGate见证计划 ##美国9月非农新增2.9万 #核心PCE与GDP终值 $BTC $ETH $NVDA

Solana is starting to look very different from the image many people still have of it.
For a long time, the chain was mostly associated with memecoins, fast trading and retail speculation.
That part was real. But the network has been expanding far beyond it.
• RWA value has crossed $4.5B
• Tokenized equities are above $620M
• Stablecoin volume has passed $5T in 2026
• xStocks has reached 190K+ holders and $500M+ AUM
• Earlier this year, Solana handled around 97% of cumulative on-chain tokenized equity spot volume
And now names like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Apollo are entering the picture through the broader tokenization market.
The interesting part isn't the old narrative.
It's how quickly the actual usage is starting to tell a different story.
Solana may be moving from a retail heavy chain into infrastructure that can support much bigger financial markets.

🚨 BIG SHIFT: Markets are now pricing the Fed to hold rates steady in October, with the odds of another hike dropping sharply.
For Bitcoin, that removes one major macro headwind heading into Q4. 🚀
