$BTC $ETH Midday Market Analysis: Published on the afternoon of 10.16 at 13.17
Yesterday in the livestream, the SanDisk short at 1334 and the gold entry right at 4155 both quickly plunged 30 points and brought in solid profits. The only downside was missing the ETH trade and being left watching from the sidelines. In any case, congratulations to those who followed along.

Kevin Warsh Speaks, Bitcoin Listens: Can One Fed Sentence Move the Dollar, Stocks and BTC?
A single sentence from the Federal Reserve chair can erase billions in market value in minutes. Today, Kevin Warsh takes the stage at an IMF-hosted discussion while inflation pressures remain stubborn, and traders are already pricing every word. The real question is not whether he will speak, but which message the market will hear: hawkish tightening or a patient hold.
To understand why this matters, start with the Fed's dual mandate: price stability and maximum employment. When inflation runs hot, those

I looked into why the tax system accounts for such a high proportion of the national civil service exam positions
The fundamental reason is that after the merger of the national and local tax authorities in 2018, all civil service positions in the tax system could only be applied for through the national civil service exam, and there were no longer any tax-system civil service positions in the provincial exams
Secondly, factors such as Golden Tax Phase IV and social security have caused the tax system’s share of total national civil service exam recruitment to rise from 61.7% in 2020 to the cu

$SKHYNIX Hynix plunges 33%! A golden buying opportunity or a bottomless pit? A reversal signal emerges on the 1-hour chart!
A shakeout is like a bath; only when the tide goes out do you see who’s swimming naked! Although Hynix has given back most of its gains, its “volatile” nature as an earlier leader means it’s poised for the strongest rebound!
Among the three memory giants, Hynix has pulled back the most (33.35%), making its shakeout the most thorough! On the 1-hour chart, the price found support and stabilized after touching a low of 925.34. The MACD green bars below the zero line continue

$BTC Don’t get carried away at this price; we can keep watching for a bit. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with taking a position—the risk/reward ratio is very good. I just think I’ll pass for now and wait to see.

#USSeptemberPPIBeatsExpectations
SEPTEMBER US PPI JUMPS 6.3% — BITCOIN UNDER PRESSURE, GOLD REBOUNDS, AND THE FED FACES A NEW INFLATION CHALLENGE
My Market Analysis | October 16, 2026
The US inflation story has taken another important turn. On October 15, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released September Producer Price Index (PPI) data that significantly exceeded market expectations. Producer inflation accelerated sharply, core prices also increased, and energy costs surged
Yet the market reaction was not as straightforward as many traders expected. Bitcoin faced pressure, technology stock

Musk’s “rocket car” triggers a long-short bloodbath! Whales are secretly positioning with 190 million in capital—retail traders, don’t get caught on the wrong side!
“News is the whales’ harvesting scythe; capital flows are retail traders’ lifeline!”
Personal view: The whales’ intentions in this move $SPCX are extremely devious. They’re pushing prices up in plain sight, but behind the scenes they’re most likely planning to “turn around and liquidate shorts”! The latest news has Musk’s Roadster flight video making a huge splash, driving a sharp rise in SPCX on-chain. But the capital flow chart

Fed Chair Warsh has spoken.
He made it very clear: he will not tell everyone in advance whether there will be a rate hike at the next meeting, nor will he lock in the path of interest rates ahead of time. He did not use harsh language, nor did he say another rate hike was certain.
The market reacted immediately: rate hikes seemed less urgent, the dollar weakened, and U.S. Treasury yields fell. Gold and silver took the opportunity to catch their breath, posting a slight short-term rebound.
But note that he did not say rate cuts are coming. If inflation picks up again, the door to another rate h

This is just a short-term long opportunity for $INTC
Wait for a successful breakout above 97; the upside target is at least 102 - 104.

What is most worth paying attention to with BTC right now is not the price, but the divergence in direction between institutional spot buying and long-term holders on-chain.
On one hand, the Coinbase Premium Index has fallen to its lowest level since July, with the spread briefly turning to -0.19%, indicating that U.S. institutional investors have not been aggressively adding during this rebound and have instead been more inclined to take profits. Bitcoin spot ETFs saw net outflows of $681.1 million in a single week, with cumulative outflows over the past 5 trading days reaching their largest

Take time to reset and keep trading after that

Old-school memorization techniques are still useful. Sharing them with everyone.

$SOL is slowly starting to look better again.
The first major level is getting reclaimed.
Above $126, I might even consider having it on the watchlist again.
Until then, SOL is in the same boat as ETH. Barely made new ATHs last cycle - not too interesting for me.

$DOGE Musk's Tesla can fly now, so the family dog is sure to take off too

September core CPI rose 0.33% month over month, marking a strong gain for the second consecutive month; PPI rose 1.3% month over month, its biggest increase since March 2022. With the data right in front of them, the market had expected Warsh to emphasize that “inflation is too high,” but he did not mention the data at all. He said: “I will not prejudge the outcome of the meeting. I do not believe in saying right now what I might do at the upcoming meeting.”
That statement is more worth pondering than any hawkish rhetoric. Since taking office, Warsh has twice declined to publish an interest-ra
