Friday morning BTC/ETH strategy by Zhong Ling on 10.16
The MACD has formed a golden cross below the zero axis, releasing some short-term rebound momentum. However, the indicator as a whole remains below the zero axis, and the broader bearish structure has not reversed. The current rise is essentially a technical oversold recovery following the release of CPI data.
Trading plan
BTC: Short around 82300-82800, target: around 80K
ETH: Short around 2450-2470, target: around 2330

#BTCBreaksBelow82K
🚨 BTC Breaks Below $82K — What’s Next?
Bitcoin has slipped under the key $82,000 level multiple times this week, putting the short-term structure under pressure.
Quick Snapshot
Recent range: $79,700 – $84,200
Current zone: hovering around $82,000 – $82,200
Major tests: dipped toward $80K on the back of hot inflation data
Why the Sell-Off?
Hotter-than-expected September CPI + strong PPI reignited rate-hike concerns
Rising Treasury yields & stronger USD
Spot BTC ETF outflows
Risk-off spillover from Asian markets
Heavy long liquidations
Key Levels to Watch
📌 $82,000 – $82,50

U.S. September CPI and PPI both came in unexpectedly high, well above expectations, sending global risk assets crashing. U.S. stocks plunged, the Nasdaq posted its biggest drop since July, Japan’s Nikkei tumbled nearly 5%, South Korea’s stock market triggered a circuit breaker, and chips and AI sold off across the board! Add Warsh’s speech on Black Friday! Going long is far less safe than shorting! If the intraday rebound fails to break 830, short aggressively! In the short term, watch the 816 level first! If that breaks, continue looking lower toward the 80,000 level! Just follow the ETH sect

The short-term prediction market shows highly unified bullish expectations, with the market essentially ruling out ETH breaking significantly below 2,200.
Odds are extremely low at all levels, leaving no trading upside on the long side.
In an environment with highly consistent bullish sentiment, beware of the risk of a sudden wick-driven pullback. Once the price breaks below 2,300, it could significantly impact this prediction market.

🚨 $SNDK
——Down 41%. Is it a buying opportunity? SanDisk is currently trading near $1,395, below the previous $2,354. AI data centers, enterprise SSD demand, and NAND prices remain important bullish catalysts. My bullish trade plan Entry: Buy at $1,340–$1,380 if support holds Target 1: $1,450 Target 2: $1,500–$1,600 Stop-loss: Below $1,270 A breakout above $1,450 could trigger another rally. However, if it falls below $1,276, downside risk will increase. My strategy: Buy in batches near support, do not chase the rally, and add only after a confirmed breakout. Trade the opportunity, not the hy

SK Hynix has “hit the emergency brakes”—could your 1225 long position finally be saved? As the alarm of the circuit breaker still echoes in your ears, the regulators’ “market rescue” iron fist has already come crashing down! As for the 1225 long position, don’t rush to cut your losses—the market this morning is leaving you an escape route. Fundamental news: South Korea’s Ministry of Economy and Finance issued a forceful statement this morning, saying it would “take stern action against behavior that disrupts the market,” while emphasizing that the fundamentals remain solid. The authorities hav

On the daily chart, Xiao Huangyu remains in a bearish structure of progressively lower highs. After consecutive declines, a candlestick with a lower shadow appeared, indicating a short-term willingness to stabilize and recover, and a technical rebound may emerge. However, the bullish candle's body is relatively weak and failed to break above the point where the previous decline began; essentially, it remains a pullback recovery
On the 4-hour chart, the price staged a slight rebound after stabilizing at a low, with several small bullish candles formed consecutively in the short term. However, t

Bitcoin outlook for this morning

Short near 825-830
First target: 820-815
Second target: 810-805

Bitcoin surged before pulling back, briefly reclaiming then losing the middle band, while the MACD formed a death cross, indicating short-term weakness. However, the overall market remains range-bound, so there is no need to stubbornly commit to a direction. Yuejie is shorting because the current structure is weak and the middle band has not held. But RSI is already near oversold, so chasing shorts could lead to a rebound. Therefore, do not chase the decline; wait for a rebou

$ETH ETH: The Sleeping Giant Just Rolled Over... Towards the Moon
ETH has been the quiet kid in class while everyone else was shouting, and history says quiet kids sometimes ace the exam.
Price is holding its ground on support like it pays rent there. Momentum is slowly turning, and the chart is starting to look like it wants to remember who it is.
If BTC opens the door, ETH tends to run through it with a lot of hype behind it. I'm watching for a clean break above the recent range highs as the green light.
I just really like this chart. Manage your risk.

2026.10.16 Intraday Market Analysis
The impact of the news continuing will last for around half a month... The news flow is still bearish... It will continue to ferment on Saturday and Sunday, and begin to establish a foothold next Monday... The current short-term trend is a phased rise, but the market will still decline slowly and retest the bottom
Intraday: After range-bound fluctuations, the market will be pushed higher, with the primary focus on short positions... Today will grind for a long time; gradually scale into short positions
Resistance: 2500, 2550, 83500, 85800
Support: 2400,

The overall market is tilted bullish, with most capital betting that ETH will hold above 2500.
However, there is insufficient certainty of a break above 2600, while the probability of a pullback to 2300 is close to 50%, indicating significant disagreement between bulls and bears over Ethereum, unlike the one-sided optimism seen in BTC.
The upside offers limited potential returns, while lower pullback levels offer better risk-reward; beware of the risk of a failed rally followed by a retracement to the 2300 range.

At 11:30, Fed Chair Powell is about to speak, and volatility is very high. This kind of event is unpredictable. The market has been sluggish recently, so there probably isn’t much room for further declines. As long as Powell does not deliver overly bearish news, the market will not become too extreme. The market will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, and the timing is right—the broader market will gradually rebound. $ETH You can open a position, set your stop-loss properly, and 2500 will be reached. #美国9月PPI大超预期

Yesterday I suggested buying XPL, and looking at today, it was almost exactly the bottom. After the PPI data came out and the bearish news was priced in, it immediately V-reversed. Still, pay attention to coins with discernible patterns. Keep following #美国9月PPI大超预期

One: Today we have to congratulate the subscribed followers who were monitoring the charts—the pickup code last night brought in profits, because none of the limit orders were filled.
Last night's pickup code SIREN rose from the tweet price of 0.0273 to 0.035, a gain of as much as 28%. The take-profit level we gave was 0.035, representing a gain of only 13.5%. The actual gain was more than double the range we gave, and some people still failed to keep up.
Review of the strategy:
The October 15 pickup code SIREN was a trade that only those monitoring the charts could follow; most limit orders w

#SolanaMajorUpgradeScheduled What's Actually Changing (and What Isn't)
The date is locked in, and honestly, the internet is already mixing up facts and hype. I read through the announcements so here's the clean version, in a Myth vs Fact style.
The basics first
The Solana Foundation says the Alpenglow upgrade will activate on mainnet in epoch 1064 on Wednesday, October 21, at about 15:00 UTC. Anza, a core developer of the network, announced the date on October 13. One small caution: the upgrade is still subject to change.
Before vs After
Before (today): The network uses TowerBFT, and transacti

Although South Korean stocks triggered a circuit breaker, there are actually two pieces of good news today: the probability of an October rate hike has fallen again, and both short- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields have also declined.
The problems that have long plagued U.S. stocks, besides aging narratives and elevated valuations prompting the market to demand earnings expectations, include U.S. stocks, Treasuries, and corporate bonds competing for liquidity.
This time, the decline in U.S. stocks drove liquidity into Treasuries, bringing in buyers and easing the Treasury crisis, while gold
