The Options Market Has Laid Its Cards on the Table, While Spot Is Playing Dead—The Volatility Arbitrage Logic Ahead of FOMC
Spend enough time in this market and you’ll notice an interesting phenomenon: spot traders watch prices, futures traders watch funding rates, while the real whales watch volatility. The BTC market is now putting on an extreme show of “volatility divergence.”
Deribit data shows that the options market has priced in a move of about 2.27% for the October 28–29 FOMC meeting window. Forward implied volatility (IV) for that window is as high as 43.4%, while IV for the following

#CryptoTreasuryDivergence
Crypto treasury strategies are entering a phase where the most important signal is not simply how much Bitcoin or Ethereum a company buys, but how it chooses to allocate capital when market conditions become less predictable.
Strategy and Bitmine have provided an interesting contrast. During the week of October 19–25, 2026, Strategy made no Bitcoin purchases or sales, while Bitmine acquired another 10,452 ETH. At first glance, these decisions appear to point in different directions. A closer look at their treasury operations, however, reveals a more complex story abo

$CBRS USDT is trading at $114.62, up 2.2% over 24 hours, while volume has surged 1,067.7%. The latest 2.1% pullback suggests short-term selling pressure, but the strong daily performance keeps a potential bullish continuation on the watchlist.
🎯 Support Zone: $111.00–$113.00
🚧 Resistance Zone: $117.00–$120.00
🚀 Next Bullish Targets: $123.00–$126.00
🛑 Invalidation Watch: Below $110.00
A confirmed breakout above $120.00 with sustained volume could open the way toward higher targets. However, losing support may trigger a deeper correction.

Stop Guessing the Direction; Use Gate’s Toolkit to Defend and Counterattack
With the Fed decision approaching, the question many novice traders are wrestling with is: Should I go long or short? If you’re still asking that, you haven’t moved beyond a retail trader’s mindset. In the face of highly uncertain macro events, blindly guessing the direction is no different from gambling.
Truly mature traders always think, “What will I do if scenario A happens, and how will I respond if scenario B happens?” That requires a well-planned use of trading tools. Many friends on Gate Square usually only trad

$BNB just gave back everything painstakingly built up this morning. Those moving averages now look like resistance rather than support. It feels like buyers have completely left.

With all market attention sucked up by Bitcoin, a few overlooked veteran projects are starting to stir: $STRK , $NEAR , $BCH
First, $STRK —this is the most dramatic plot twist of the bunch: it actually wants to split from Ethereum. The Starknet community held a vote on breaking away from ETH and going solo as an independent quantum-resistant L1, with approval at 99.88% (though the vote is non-binding). The motivation, plainly, is impatience: Ethereum's quantum-resistant roadmap won't arrive until 2029, and Starknet doesn't want to wait it out. But the cost is right there in plain sight: 127 m

$BTC 80,660, institutional buying continues to ramp up 🏢
Recently, many publicly listed companies have added BTC to their asset allocation plans, and Grayscale ETF holdings have continued to climb this month. Behind the 80,660 level, the driving force is strategic institutional accumulation, not retail sentiment. Institutions operate very differently from retail investors—they don't care about short-term volatility, and gradual buying in batches is the norm.

$PEPE The current price is 0.00000486, up +8% over 24 hours after surging to 0.00000505 before pulling back. The contradiction is that 1-hour trading volume is only 23% of normal, and low liquidity makes the short-term direction difficult to discern, despite the 4-hour trend remaining bullish.
The current assessment is mixed, with the price stuck between 1-hour support at 0.00000444 and resistance at 0.00000505. A high-volume breakout above resistance would confirm the uptrend's continuation, while a break below support could lead to a retest of 4-hour support at 0.00000421. The key question

I think Google will beat expectations this time, especially on Cloud.
Q2 Cloud revenue grew 82%, but the company’s free cash flow was negative $5.855 billion. Even if revenue beats expectations, how much more it will need to spend next year and how long it will take for those investments to pay off will affect the stock’s performance after earnings.
The full preview is on Planet, covering search monetization, Cloud margins, and next year’s spending.
