NEAR at $5—would you still dare to hold it?
From $6 to $5, everyone online is shouting, “NEAR is done,” but after everyone cut their losses, it rose 45% in 30 days and doubled in a year. Cross-chain swap volume topped $34 billion, the ETF is quietly accumulating, and buybacks are using real money—so is this a normal pullback in an uptrend, or the last chance to escape before the narrative tops out?
First, the surface picture: it’s down, but it hasn’t collapsed.
Down 3% in 24 hours and 5% in 7 days, with a 17% pullback from the October 12 high of $6. Sound scary? But zoom out—and it’s up 45% in

A flat Bitcoin is hiding lopsided trading underneath. $BTC moved +0.03% in the 24 hours to Oct 18, but our gauge of one sided buying and selling reached the 93rd percentile of the past 90 days, above the line our desk flags.

$BTC Active on-chain addresses have fallen by nearly 20% in three days. Once the hype dies down, it becomes clear who’s swimming naked. This time, we’re talking about identity protocols: decentralized identity and credentials are basically a way to issue ID cards to on-chain addresses. The problem is, everyone wants to be the issuing authority, and standards haven’t been unified yet, so don’t rush to place your bets.

Good morning, #crypto enthusiasts!☕

The most unusual detail in today’s market is not the gainers list itself, but the funding rate: $AVA is up 20.55% over 24 hours, yet its funding rate is -0.0036%. The price is rallying while shorts are still paying, suggesting this move is driven by spot buying or short covering rather than crowded leveraged longs. Compared with other active tokens over the same period, $XRP is down just 0.62%, with a 3.27% range; $INJ is down 3.01%, with MA5 falling below MA20; $AVA has a 30-candle range of 35.54%, making it the clear leader in volatility and market attention within the sector, with notab

To add to my view: I analyzed two possible paths for Bitcoin this morning, but many people still don’t understand and keep saying it can only go up or down. I understand that many people have elementary-school-level reading comprehension, so I’ll add some more context. $BT is currently fluctuating around 81000. Looking back at the move near 87000, if you had managed risk in advance, wouldn’t the pressure be much lower now? When Bitcoin was around 83000, I said on Square that there would be another push higher, followed by a daily-chart correction. Those who have followed me for a while know I

ETH at $2,420—can you still hold on?
$320 million in ETF outflows in a week, BlackRock leading the sell-off, and longs just had tens of millions liquidated—but while everyone was shouting “ETH is going to zero,” $2,400 held firm. Is this institutions unloading, or market makers using ETF data to shake out weak hands?
First, the surface picture: money is flowing out, but the price hasn’t collapsed.
ETH is currently at $2,408–$2,420, down 0.6%–1% over 24 hours, sliding from $2,700–$2,800 in early October. ETFs saw net outflows of $320 million over the past week, including $69.7 million in a sing

this is the most depressing, doomer weekend of the year by far
europe war escalation, iran, trump being retarded, france/italy downfall, ai dooming, market fears & all other stuff
its like we're experiencing the downfall of a society on stream, and there's nothing that can be done
do NOT let your mind dive into this doom loop
focus on you, your family wellbeing, be strong and keep working for a better future

OCTOBER 19–23: A HIGH-VOLATILITY WEEK FOR $BTC & CRYPTO
Next week has multiple macro catalysts lining up at once: China growth data, inflation releases, central-bank decisions, US economic data and major tech earnings.
The Fed is also in its blackout period ahead of the October 28 FOMC meeting, meaning traders will have fewer fresh policy signals to work with.
Here’s the risk map:
Oct 19
China Q3 GDP + economic activity data
Canada CPI
Oct 20
China LPR decision
Germany PPI
UK employment data
US housing data
Netflix earnings
Oct 21
Japan trade balance
UK CPI
Tesla + Meta earnings

Crazy how much a choppy market can drive people crazy because they are permanently online
Calling for no new bull market when we have just had the softest bear market ever behind us, just because we aren't going up in a straight line
You can always find a reason to be a doomer but make no mistake that the midterms are the final uncertainty before there are plain sailings ahead
Enjoy the slower markets and time away from the screen while you still have time for it because you will miss it when we enter a frenzy due to the stressful nature of trying to make as much as possible in a crypto bull

$DOGE Just came across another 10x all-in long, opened just above 9 cents. It’s now at 7.9 cents, and the unrealized loss has already exceeded the principal. The margin was over 800 U, and the loss is 1,200.
Liquidation is at 4.3 cents. It still looks a ways off, but let’s do the math for them: to break even, the dog coin would have to climb quite a bit, and volume is only at 40%. It’s been down more than 7% over seven days—are they counting on it to bounce all at once?
The real-interest-rate headwind mentioned at noon still hasn’t eased, and this trade is betting their life on a rebound. Thos

Silver will continue to fall!
#XAGUSD has maintained its downtrend since August 28. I think this decline will continue to at least 82 TL. In dollar terms, it could fall below $55.

With oil nearing $110, crypto traders also need to keep a close eye on this strait
Over the weekend, it looked like news about tankers. By Monday, it could affect everyone’s positions.
On October 17, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the claims have not yet been independently confirmed, so the specific losses cannot be treated as definitive.
As for prices, on the latest trading day—October 16—Brent crude closed at $109.86, up 3.7% for the day; WTI closed at $101.41, up 3.5%. For the week, they rose 4.9%

#TapeOutNFT My proposal: First Silicon (the first silicon wafer)
In the chip industry, the first test chip returned from a tape-out is called first silicon. Test1 is the first silicon wafer of the TapeOut ecosystem.
· Modularization: packaging baseboard × core circuitry × routing × numbered badge, with four layers that can be freely combined. The core circuitry and routing can be taken directly from the bound mining machine's netlist, matching the diagram and circuitry.
· Photomask → chip: The 100 TapeCode NFTs that B God said to bring along serve as photomasks, and the 10k Test1 units are chi
