After yesterday’s post went up, some friends in the group came to discuss WLB with me. A Jian’s view is that if your goal in trading is to improve your life, then don’t let trading consume all of it. Trading should, by nature, help you allocate your money and time more effectively. If you’re constantly being pulled around by prices, it’s easy to get trapped in a cycle with no end: fearing you’ll miss out when the market moves, wanting to chase it after it moves, wanting to make more after making a profit, and wanting to earn back your losses as quickly as possible. Eventually, your account flu

Leveraged $ETH buyers lost $42.7M to forced closures on Oct 17, more than any other coin. Longs took 77.2% of the $249.1M our streams recorded that day, which still came in under the past week's average.

#美国9月PPI大超预期 #WCTCS9 The Fed restarts rate hikes: a far more consequential game than the market imagines, true global panic has yet to arrive
The starting gun has fired, but the storm is still brewing.
Many people see U.S. stock indexes still fluctuating and assume that a new round of Fed rate hikes is just another routine monetary move, already fully priced in, with limited risk. But look beyond short-term market swings and connect the dots between global geopolitics, capital flows, and asset bubbles, and you’ll see that this resumption of rate hikes is a high-stakes financial gamble by the U

$AVA Current price 0.4002, overhead resistance 0.4290 (upper Bollinger Band), and support at 0.3766 (MA20). Price is above MA5=0.3961 and MA20=0.3766, with short- and medium-term moving averages in a bullish alignment. After a 31% rally in 24h, it has entered consolidation at elevated levels; however, the MACD histogram is -0.0007 and remains bearish, indicating that upward momentum is weakening slightly and price is in a pullback confirmation phase after the breakout. RSI=63.1 is strong but not overbought, leaving room for further upside; Bollinger Band width has expanded significantly, and

$AVA AVA surged from 0.21 to 0.42! Is going long now an opportunity or are you becoming exit liquidity?
This rally is indeed strong, but guys, after a doubling move, what you need to be most wary of is early entrants at lower levels starting to take profits.
AVA is now chopping repeatedly at high levels and has yet to establish sustained strength above 0.40, so a short-term pullback cannot be ruled out. If 0.38 fails, watch around 0.35; if it breaks back above 0.4226, that would show the bulls remain strong.
Guan Ge isn't in a hurry to chase longs now and would rather wait for the rebound to w

If we continue to project based on the past cycle pattern of one bear market followed by three bull-market years, both the timing and scale of this bull market are worth reassessing.
In the past, BTC often bottomed near the end of the year, around November–December, before entering a new bull market. But if this cycle started about half a year earlier than previous ones, the bull market could also end correspondingly earlier.
Based on the cycle, the bull market co

In the on-chain perpetuals sector, beyond a few leaders, there’s an underrated multichain player: $ASTER . Formerly APX Finance, it merged with Astherus and now combines spot and perpetuals across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. It also has its own L1, Aster Chain, using ZK encryption to conceal positions and enable MEV-free execution, alongside stock perpetuals, hidden orders, and grid trading. YZi Labs is an investor. Objectively, the current price is around 0.708, flat over 24 hours, with a range of 0.6914–0.7165. Spot trading volume is about 10.5 million U; market cap is 1.95 bi

How Can Retail Bitcoin Holders Safely Weather the Looming “Quantum Apocalypse”?
I think the looming threat of quantum computing may actually hold an unprecedented “quantum deflationary tailwind” for Bitcoin: some Bitcoin will surely be lost, while the surviving Bitcoin will surge in value as the supply shrinks dramatically.
Recently, Justin Sun said in an interview that Bitcoin may find it difficult to emerge unscathed from the threats posed by AI and quantum computing. This attracted widespread attention. Many people took it as bearish, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the

$BTC
Bitcoin broke above 82000
Then damn, it went back down
Bitcoin is so strong
Will it rise or fall next?
Guys
Bitcoin is still very strong
Compared with Ethereum
Ethereum's drop is almost 2 times Bitcoin's
So with Bitcoin this strong
Can it still fall?
Da Chui thinks
Although Bitcoin is very strong
It has been in a bearish trend all along
The trendline still hasn't broken
And it's also formed
A somewhat imperfect descending triangle pattern
It's still likely to keep falling next
We should know soon
Da Chui has always said
Bitcoin falling to 76000 is no problem at all
If things go ideally

$SIREN At 2:07 AM, the 0.0301 level is testing the resolve behind today’s second attempt to form a bottom. It’s down 25.59% in 24 hours, crashing from 0.0413 to 0.0280. The 78.4M in trading volume shows this isn’t retail investors capitulating—someone is dumping directly into thin liquidity. The order book tells the story clearly: the wick down to 0.0280 was bought up instantly, but sell orders are capping the rebound near 0.0305, a classic sign of leftover positions supporting the market after a dump. Old Chen in the group was just asking if it was time to buy the dip. I replied, “Catching th
