$LINK Long, Short, Next Long? LINK Tests $12.30 Again
Now the price is back around $12.95, sitting right on top of the zone that’ll decide the next one.
So let me walk you through what I took, how it played out, and what I’m eyeing now.
First up, the long. On Sep 16 LINK flushed to around $10.60, then closed back above support. Whales had grabbed roughly 10.36M LINK on that dip, and RSI was near 41, so sellers looked pretty tired. I went in at $11.06 with SL $10.50 and TP $14.00, and it hit target around Sep 25, about +26% for a ~5% stop .
Then came the short. After the spike toward $15.80 a

#韩林博士受邀牛津大学辩论社演讲 If I had only one question left, I would ask Dr. Han Lin: How can we let “value flow freely” while also allowing ordinary people to “sleep soundly”?
From the Oxford Union podium, Einstein spoke about relativity, Churchill spoke about war and peace, and this time, a crypto founder will speak about “the future of money.” If I were there with only one chance to ask a question, I would not ask “How high can Bitcoin go?”—I would use the personal experience of a long-time user to ask a “have it both ways” question:
“Dr. Han, I’ve been with Gate for eight years—I bought crypto via C2

$PI Rural pension: invest 90k, pay 6,000 per year, and receive 850–950 per month after 15 years. I also invested 90k in Pi; I wonder whether I’ll be able to receive this much per month after 15 years?

Since the last compression in late September, the market has remained in the Expanded zone or above.
This means that even a slight decline in volatility could push the market into Extreme Compression within three days.

Many people rush to go long as soon as they see a bullish moving-average alignment, overlooking one premise: the alignment itself does not generate profits; position and momentum determine the risk-reward ratio. This is currently a structure that “looks smooth but is difficult to chase.”
From a purely technical perspective, $EUR is currently at 1.1197, with MA5=1.11948 slightly above MA20=1.118. The short- and medium-term moving averages show a mild bullish alignment, but the gap between them is extremely narrow, indicating limited trend strength—a gradual climb rather than an accelerated ral

$OP OP/USDC, Buyers Reclaim the 200 EMA While Sellers Fade
OP/USDC is setting up for a momentum breakout, and the structure here is solid. Price has reclaimed the daily 200 EMA at 0.13497685 and is holding above it, which puts the broader trend back in bullish alignment. Our whale detection engine flagged accumulation activity on the buy side — buy imbalance and volume spike among the signals — with a buy-side imbalance of +42.3%. Volume over the past 24 hours came in at 1.02M USDC, which tells us participation is real, though the volume trend itself is flat rather than expanding. The 24-hour

Scalping ZRO—the price is actually continuing to fall ✌. It's okay, I love scalping. Setting stop-losses and take-profits is better, and don't be greedy.

Based on the latest ETH and BTC price action today, ETF fund flows, futures liquidation data, and the upcoming US CPI inflation data, my assessment is:
ETH is bearish in the short term, and blindly buying the dip is not advisable at present. Prioritize waiting for a rebound to short; if a clear bottoming signal appears around $2,400–2,420, consider a small long position on the rebound.
The key over the next 24 hours is not only whether ETH can rebound, but also whether it can hold $2,400 and whether BTC can stop falling.
First, the market price benchmark: The latest market data sources show ET

The IMF says AI will affect about 40% of jobs around the world over time.
IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva shared this at the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, saying some jobs will be improved by AI, while others will be downgraded or removed. The impact is expected to be bigger in advanced economies, at about 60% of jobs compared with about 23% in low-income countries, mainly because AI is spreading slowly over there.
She called it a slow-moving tsunami and warned it could cut the tax money governments collect.
Despite the risks, she noted that AI investment is helping keep global

How much can a teacher in Hong Kong earn in a year at most?
Take a bold guess—I guarantee you’ll be wrong.
100 million.
It’s truly outrageous. In Hong Kong’s cram schools, teachers who are highly accurate at predicting exam questions start at tens of millions a year, and with profit-sharing income, they can easily earn over 100 million.
