Today’s Review
September CPI came in hot: headline 0.6%/3.7%, core 0.3%/2.6%, all above expectations.

Crypto Market Sees Nearly $485M in Liquidations as Bitcoin Drops Below $81K
The crypto market saw nearly $485 million in liquidations within one hour as Bitcoin briefly fell below $81,000.
Long positions accounted for approximately $465 million of the total, showing how heavily leveraged bullish traders were affected by the sudden price move.
This is a reminder that even a short market decline can trigger significant liquidations when leverage is high.
In volatile markets, managing risk and understanding leverage matter just as much as predicting price direction.

If volatility isn’t too high, don’t be too greedy. Short at 4143, exit at 4137, capturing a $6 range—$563!

#美国9月CPI超预期 Holding 81,000 is key for BTC’s short-term rebound to have room to continue; losing it would warrant caution over a pullback.
Zhilang Analysis | BTC fell to 81,604 over 24 hours (-2.2%), plunging from a high of 84,146 to 81,398; ETH -3.9%, SOL -3.5%, BNB -2.2%. Altcoins broadly underperformed BTC, and this is not random volatility.
Market:
All four coins closed at the 12%–18% percentile of their 24-hour ranges, with no trace of an intraday rebound, showing a typical one-sided suppression pattern rather than high-level divergence. In terms of intraday amplitude, ETH at 5.0% and SOL

Don’t panic over the 1345 long position! ZEC hasn’t broken below its previous low, and tonight’s rebound could be the real chance to break even. Opportunities are often hidden in the ruins after liquidations.
Nearly $3 million in ZEC positions were liquidated hourly last night, with $12.23 million in longs liquidated over the entire day versus just $1.65 million in shorts—a typical long squeeze. After plunging from the 1348 high, it touched a low of 1090, but did not break the previous low, so the structure remains intact. The break-even strategy is simple: clear support has emerged around 109

10.15 Bitcoin Analysis
Analysis: Short around 82000-82500 on the rebound, stop-loss at 83000, first target 81300, second target 80500
The actual 1H chart shows that, pressured by the greater-than-expected bearish impact of the CPI data, the price quickly broke down from the interim high of 84117.6, falling as low as 81314.0 before entering a weak low-level consolidation. It is currently at 81587.9. The overall downtrend has not been reversed; the rebound is a corrective oversold consolidation, with bulls lacking volume support for a sustained advance, while the moving averages above and sellin

#美国9月CPI超预期 #每周来晒 For now, this looks more like “valuation compression first,” rather than all the bad news having been priced in. U.S. headline CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year in September and core CPI rose 2.6%, both above expectations; core CPI rose 0.3% month-on-month, indicating that inflation remains sticky.
