#GateBTCAndETHFuturesVolumeRanking
Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading activity remains a key market indicator.
🔍 What traders should monitor: • BTC and ETH futures volume • Open interest (OI) • Funding rates • Liquidation levels • Spot buying and selling pressure
High futures volume can indicate strong participation, but it does not guarantee that the market will move upward. Rising open interest with aggressive leverage can also increase liquidation risk.

Roger Ver, who promoted Bitcoin everywhere in its early days and was dubbed “Bitcoin Jesus,” now has to reach a settlement over U.S. tax charges, with the agreement amounting to as much as $49.9 million. I still paused when I saw that figure.
He has reached an agreement with the Trump administration; “as much as” refers to the cap on the settlement amount, not that he has already paid $49.9 million. What made him famous back then was his passion for Bitcoin, but now seeing his name again comes in a settlement announcement for a tax case. That contrast makes me sigh even more than the nickname

The Fed goes quiet, earnings take center stage, PMI wraps up: “volatility harvesting week” is here
From October 17 to 29, the Fed is in its pre-FOMC blackout period, when officials are barred from publicly commenting on monetary policy. In his final speech before the blackout, Warsh explicitly rejected the very idea of “forward guidance.”
The market has lost what it relied on most over the past decade: officials’ remarks as its traditional navigation system.

Three Chinese-American AI stars are reshaping the U.S. tech landscape:
Scott Wu (CEO of Cognition AI): Born in Louisiana to Shanghai immigrant parents who were chemical engineers. A Harvard dropout and three-time IOI gold medalist, he built Devin, the world’s first autonomous AI software engineer, and his company’s valuation is surging toward $48 billion.
Alexandr Wang (Meta Chief AI Officer): Born in Los Alamos to Chinese-American physicist parents. An MIT dropout, he became the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at 24. He founded Scale AI (the data-labeling giant) and now leads Meta’s su

Bitcoin faking us out again? After plunging all weekend, $BTC hit just above $80,000 at its low last night. A big green candle this morning sent it V-shaped back up, and it’s acting like nothing happened, climbing back above 82400. But whether this rebound is “made of paper” or “built to last” depends on what happens to volume next.
The chart shows a clear breakout on the 15-minute timeframe, but volume hasn’t followed. It looks more like a “fake breakout” driven by short covering than a genuine move fueled by buyers putting real money on the line. Market sentiment is very delicate right now.

Daily timeframe is bearish.
Weekly timeframe is bearish.
Monthly timeframe is bullish.
There is only one timeframe that really matters here.
The monthly.
We've rallied 50% from the lows and are now seeing a 5% pullback.
I still think we see a move into the 70k's, which would give us roughly a 10% pullback.
That's nothing to worry about in the context of a larger trend.
Pullbacks are buying opportunities.
Don't let lower timeframe noise make you lose sight of the bigger picture.
