$BTC went under 80k. Buyers stepped in.
CPI came in at 3.7%. PPI hit 6.3%, highest in four years. Both hotter than people expected.
Longs got liquidated. Around 900M. Mostly guys who were betting price keeps going up.
Fed already raised rates once in September. Next meeting is October 27-28. These are the last big inflation numbers before they decide.
Some people think they skip October. Others say the numbers are too hot so they move. Energy is still the main thing. If it cools fast they can wait. If it stays high they have less room.
Higher US rates pull money from risk assets everywhere. Sa

📊 The traffic light shows a 4.59% spread, but the executable P2P order book shows 0.22%: Bs. 2.14 between the best ask (Bs. 967,00) and the best bid (Bs. 964,86).
The mid is Bs. 965,93, and the order book has a 73.08% imbalance toward buyers. Two numbers, two realities.
A level-by-level breakdown:
1) The traffic light spread (4.59%) is the aggregate: it averages all market listings, including illiquid ones and those with amounts that don’t work for you. It’s the context.
2) The executable spread (0.22%) is the actual distance between the best ask (967,00) and the best bid (964,86): just Bs. 2

What the market does best is crush your rationality with a sharp rally.
On 10.16, while everyone online was shouting “the bearish news is exhausted and the market is reversing,” Tong Ge’s strategy was: short at 823-828, stop loss at 845.
Why short? Because BlackRock was selling, CPI/PPI were all bearish, yet the market surged against the trend. This wasn’t a reversal; it was a classic shakeout and position rotation.
The high was 82900, landing precisely in the ambush zone, then it plunged all the way to 80800, capturing a 2100-point move!
Trading has never been about betting on whether prices

Trump finally came out and started talking about oil prices.

Taking a break. Actually, not livestreaming means I don’t have to split my attention to watch the chat, so I can stay focused on volume, price action, and candlestick patterns, which is pretty nice. Ultra-short-term trading is much more tiring when I’m distracted by having to keep the livestream engaging.$ETH ‌

#每周来晒 #沃什IMF讲话
Warsh’s Fed Remarks: What Do They Mean for BTC and the Markets?
My primary takeaway is that while Warsh avoids committing to any specific interest rate decision, he places a clear priority on controlling inflation. This leaves the markets dependent on incoming economic data rather than receiving a definitive signal from the Fed.
Speaking at an IMF meeting on October 16, 2026, Fed official Kevin Warsh emphasized the importance of price stability, expressed confidence in the resilience of the U.S. economy, and refrained from pre-judging future policy meetings. The Fed raised inte
