10.26 Midday Market Outlook.
$BTC View:
BTC spent the whole day grinding sideways but still failed to reclaim and trade above 81000. Since it can't get back above that level, it may as well retest the previous low again! BTC is now pulling back after breaking below the 80172 support and is retesting the previous low at 79170. After BTC broke below 80172, an hourly M-top pattern was confirmed, indicating that a pullback is needed at this timeframe. Next, watch whether the previous low at 79170 can hold. If it does, a potential hourly double bottom may form, but it would not yet be a confirmed

Brent opened sharply lower. Is it time to buy the dip?
I guessed last weekend that oil prices would fall today, but didn’t expect them to fall this much. Brent opened lower and kept sliding, failing to hold $111 and hovering around $110; WTI was even more decisive, dropping straight to $102. In one morning, it gave back more than $7 from last Friday’s high of $117.45. This drop at this level is worth pondering: on the daily chart, the year-to-date high of 117.8 is within reach. Does the gap down here signal a double top or a short-term correction? Getting this wro

Too much fear out there.
Bitcoin looks fantastic on the HTF and the LTF.
Objectively, things are great.
I still think we get a fair bit higher before a meaningful pullback.
Something like pictured.
To me, this is just LTF grinding PA within a bull flag.
It could resolve in any number of ways to the upside, and I think we're likely to get it over the next 7 days.
If you positioned at the lows, then you should literally not care one bit about this.
But if you didn't, these are your chances to get positioned.
Don't F it up twice and then chase up towards $100k.

California’s Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) just jumped in to take a hard stand against the SEC, blasting its rules easing fundraising for crypto projects (up to $75M) and providing a safe harbor, saying they weaken state-level oversight and enable fraud.
Honestly, this federal-state power struggle in America is getting more and more interesting.
On the surface, California is protesting in the name of protecting retail investors, but in reality, it resents the SEC crossing into its territory and taking away the state government’s tax revenue and influence. The SEC jus

#StriveCEOHintsAtMoreBitcoinBuying #WCTCS9 36,818 BTC in Treasury, $1 Billion in Capital-Raising Capacity and the Next Accumulation Signal
Strive’s latest Bitcoin move is bigger than a single purchase. It shows how aggressively the company is expanding its BTC treasury and why the next announcement deserves attention. But the key question is not simply whether Strive buys more Bitcoin. It is whether that growth can translate into stronger Bitcoin exposure per share without creating excessive financing costs or dilution.
Between October 12 and October 16, 2026, Strive acquired 4,045 BTC for app

If you missed the boat, don’t rush
After every bear market in past years, there have been at least one or two clear pullbacks
If you’re stuck in a position, don’t panic either
Bitcoin won’t let you down if it doesn’t pull back
No need to rush

Magpie really is handy.
Goodbye, CC Switch.
Thanks for keeping me company for over a year.

Lido Expands Ethereum Validators With 32 ETH Operator Bond
Lido activated the 0x02 Community Staking Module (CSM) on October 23, opening permissionless access for Ethereum validators with effective balances up to 2,048 ETH. The module is live, with initial capacity targeting roughly 32 seed deposits and larger allocations governed by activation, cap increases, and protocol inflows.
Under the new route, operators bond 32 ETH for the first validator key and 30 ETH for each additional key. Lido supplies the validator stake separately, so the operator’s bond and the protocol’s initial deposit serv

🚨 FRANKLIN TEMPLETON LAUNCHING BITCOIN DIVIDEND ETFs!
Franklin Templeton will launch ETFs that reinvest US stock dividends into Bitcoin.
According to Nate Geraci, these ETFs will target a 5% $BTC allocation.
2 ‘Bitcoin DRIP Index ETFs’ have been registered on Nasdaq in SEC Form 8-A.

Macro logic shift: Crypto market sentiment is recovering, and capital is rotating into oversold small-cap coins, giving $ZEC a catch-up rally.
Fundamental panic has been overdone: Halving expectations have played out, but there has been no actual contraction in capital. Fund flows show signs of major players accumulating; spot trading is picking up, and leveraged shorts are being liquidated in large numbers.
Technical indicators align bullishly: After the price touched key support at 1182.25, it halted its decline on increased volume, then broke upward on lower volume, with longs dominating t

BTC BATTLEFIELD AT $80,000: WILL BITCOIN RECLAIM THE LEVEL OR FALL FURTHER?
Bitcoin is fighting around the psychologically important $80,000 zone. Bulls want to recover this level and turn it into support, while bears are watching for another rejection and a break toward lower support. My view is cautious: the next move needs confirmation from price action, volume and market structure. A touch of $80,000 alone is not a breakout, and a dip alone is not proof that a rebound is coming.
