Bitcoin buyers on leverage just lost $5.0M to forced closures in a 30 minute burst across the major venues. Traders betting on a fall saw only $683.9K wiped, so the pain landed almost entirely on one side. $BTC

Industry Landscape Reshaped as Gate Enters a New Phase of Derivatives Growth
The global digital asset market is entering a new stage of development, with derivatives trading gradually becoming an important part of the industry ecosystem. As the number of market participants continues to grow, competition among trading platforms has expanded beyond trading volume alone to include liquidity, product offerings, technological infrastructure, and comprehensive service capabilities.
Against this backdrop, Gate’s derivatives business growth is worth noting. The exchange report released by CoinDesk in

Turkey’s vice president has stepped in directly to regulate public transit fares. Local increases have been far steeper than inflation, so the central government is taking back control. A single ticket in Istanbul costs 46 lira, and ordinary people’s wallets can’t take it. The anti-inflation campaign can’t be derailed by commuting costs. This move is ruthless: local autonomy and price stability are now a choice between only two options. Save this assessment for the record and come back tomorrow to verify it. Those watching, follow along.

The most basic principle of compound interest is not to lose what you already have.

U.S. CPI rose 3.7% year over year, above the market expectation of 3.6% and reaching a new high since May;
Core CPI rose to 2.6% year over year, a new high since June this year and above the market expectation of 2.5%.
After the data was released, gold and $BTC collectively plunged, while the market increased its bets on a Fed rate hike in October and three more Fed rate hikes before the end of 2027.
Fine, fine, so that’s how we’re playing it? I guess we’re just going to keep stabbing wicks back and forth.

Just $zama retraced to the breakeven line and triggered the stop-loss. Generally, when I open a position on an altcoin and it becomes profitable, I habitually set a breakeven stop-loss. I’ll assess the situation after the CPI release tonight and get back in if appropriate.

US CPI forecast 3.6. but expecting higher as OIL continue stay above $88 in September.
Important to note that core CPI at 5 year low.

The 4130 support was breached; stopped out at 4130, giving back 20 points $XAU

Second short & trade of the year.

$679 million flowed out of ETFs last week—can CPI bring the funds back?
Before looking at the CPI data, I first reviewed the funding situation.
Last week (October 5 to 9), U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $678.9 million, compared with net inflows of $241.1 million the previous week. The outflows were mainly concentrated on October 7 and 8, with $485 million flowing out on Wednesday alone, the largest single-day net outflow since June.
Ethereum ETFs fared even worse, recording nearly $700 million in cumulative outflows over nine consecutive trading days.
This shows that institutional
