📊 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

#BTC UPDATE: It is currently trading around $81,700 and is finding support at the current support zone. If it successfully holds this support, we can expect a pump from here, and it may soon hit $84,000–$85,000. Otherwise, in case it dumps and breaks the support, we can expect a further decline in Bitcoin. Keep an eye on it 👀

Are Overvalued Storage Stocks the Key to This Round of Pullbacks?
Previously, AI computing power became a major theme in the capital markets, and memory chips, high-performance flash storage, and data center hard drives also attracted investor interest. As stocks such as Kioxia, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate have pulled back one after another, the market has begun to reassess a question: Was the previous rally built on actual earnings, or overly optimistic expectations?
AI development does indeed require large amounts of data storage, but investors cannot simply equate demand growth wi

Crypto Digest: BTC, ETH, ZEC
After two days of scary U.S. inflation data, the market is catching its breath. Here's who did what 👇
🟠 BITCOIN → THE FAKE-OUT
$BTC dipped to $79,709, below the October 8 low, then closed the day back at ~$82.1K. Volume was 1.45x the average, so this wasn't a sleepy bounce.
🎯 Above $82.5K → $84K is next
⚠ Close below $79.7K → the rebound is cancelled
🟣 ETHEREUM → STILL UNDER THE CLOUDS
ETH is up ~3% to ~$2,435, but it's still stuck under both its 20-day and 50-day averages, and both are pointing down. It's like trying to climb stairs on an escalator going the o

Shi Pan’s Weekly Recap (10.12-10.16)
A total of 7,000 points captured on BTC, 160 points on ETH, and 22 points of room on gold!
Monday: BTC first rebounded from 83,400 to 84,300 before coming under pressure and falling to 82,200. Mu Han remained firmly bullish throughout the day. In live trading, a BTC long at 83,300 captured a 1,000-point move, while an ETH long at 2,510 gained over 60 points. A gold short at 4,222 reached 4,178, netting over 40 points! A long-term BTC long gained over 4,000 points!
Tuesday: BTC followed the trend down to 80,900 but failed to extend its losses, then bulls dro

10.17-18 Weekend ETH Public Strategy
Long Strategy$ETH
　　Entry zone: Light long near 2400-2420 on a pullback
　　Stop-loss defense: Near 2380 (support at the lower Bollinger Band; if it breaks below and then stabilizes, execute planB⬇️)
Profit-taking levels
　　First target: Near 2440
　　Second target: Above 2460
Third target: Near 2490 (uptrend confirmed)
Fourth target: Above 2510
Trading factors: The MACD red bars are shrinking, and weekend trading volume is declining. The overall pace remains correlated with BTC, though the short-term recovery has slightly outpaced BTC.

Memory stocks are falling just as hard as altcoins.
SK Hynix is down over 30% in 10 days,
nearly back to its late-July low.
Korean stocks are getting massacred again.
By comparison, $MU is holding up pretty well—
after all, it’s America’s favorite son, certified by Musk.
It’s only down around 20% this time,
with plenty of room before it hits its previous low of $706.
Anyway, to those who bought $MU at $900:
Long, underwater, send help!

Pakistan is getting global attention as the country's estimated mineral reserves stand at $8 trillion, according to OGDCL!!
According to the reports, the OGDCL estimates Pakistan’s mineral reserves at $8 trillion. The country has discovered 92 minerals, with 52 being extracted commercially, but the sector accounts for less than 3% of GDP. Effective policies could raise mineral exports from $3 billion to $8 billion.
Production from Reko Diq’s first phase is expected to begin by the end of 2028, with annual output projected at 240,000 tons of copper and 297,000 ounces of gold. Pakistan’s mineral

ETF outflows, rising liquidations: Check the methodology before looking at direction.
On October 16, BTC spot ETFs saw total net outflows of approximately $10.0249 million, including about $8.7353 million from IBIT and $1.2896 million from FBTC. Another liquidation dashboard showed approximately $315 million in total liquidations over the past 24 hours, with about $209 million in long liquidations and $106 million in short liquidations.
These figures reflect changes in fund flows and leveraged positions, but they cannot be used alone to infer price direction. Liquidations are the result of for

#BitcoinTops$82K 🚀 | BTC Reclaims $82,000 After a Sharp Market Shakeout!
📅 October 16, 2026 | Bitcoin Market Update
Bitcoin is fighting back! ₿ After briefly crashing below $80,000 on Thursday, BTC recovered above the $82,000 mark, as bargain hunters returned and easing Treasury yields helped restore some risk appetite.
But don't mistake a bounce for a confirmed trend reversal. Bitcoin is still navigating inflation fears, interest-rate uncertainty, and a wider technology-stock sell-off.
📊 THE LATEST MARKET PICTURE
- 💰 $82,000+: Bitcoin reclaimed this key psychological level.
- 📉 Around $

$ZEC ‌$BTC ‌$ETH ‌$SOL ‌Worth noting: The RSI for ETH and SOL has entered oversold territory (29.6 and 24.4, respectively), making a short-term technical rebound possible; BTC and ZEC are relatively resilient, but rebound momentum is limited.

Current price 0.23918, 24h +20.97%, trading volume 7.6M USDT, funding rate -1.1790%, RSI 70.1, MACD histogram +0.005199, MA5 0.245026 above MA20 0.209543, Fear & Greed Index 55. The deeply negative funding rate alongside a strong price rally indicates shorts are paying continuously while subsidizing the cost of long positions—a classic short squeeze setup. However, RSI has entered overbought territory, and the price is approaching the Bollinger upper band at 0.252513, so the risk of chasing the rally in the short term is considerable.
My view is that the bias remains bullish, but I would not

Everyone is ignoring the 4h setup forming right under SYMBOL's nose.

$SOXS /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 48.74 – 49.10
SL: 51.16
TP1: 47.24
TP2: 46.12
TP3: 44.45

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is sitting at 48.92 inside a tight 15m RSI of 49.66, meaning momentum is balanced but the 1h ATR of 0.716918 shows enough volatility to explode either way. With the daily trend in range, this entry zone between 48.74 and 49.10 offers a precise short trigger where a break above 49.10 invalidates the setup. The first target sits at 47.24, a second at 46.12, and the line in the sand is the i

$DELL UPTREND OVER?
Broke through a cluster of support, Diagonal trendline, then SMA50 and EMA55 and then 0.236 fib. Ideally 0.382 fib at 410 should be next.

$BTC Issued late Thursday night/early Friday morning
BTC long entry around 81550, currently in profit
ETH long entry around 2410, currently in profit
