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

🚀 SK hynix Hits Record Revenue — AI Is Changing the Game!
Sometimes, the biggest stories in technology are not just about new products or powerful computers. They are about the technology working behind the scenes. And right now, memory chips are becoming one of the most important pieces of the AI revolution.
SK hynix’s record-breaking Q3 performance highlights just how strong demand for advanced memory has become. As AI tools grow more sophisticated, companies need powerful data centers, faster computing systems, and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to handle increasingly complex workloads.

$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

Mining income depends on more than hashrate. Your miner needs to stay cool and run consistently, too.
If you're new to mining, start with these simple habits:
Keep enough space around your machine for airflow.
Clean dust from vents and fans regularly.
Watch temperature readings for unusual spikes.
Check cables and network connections before assuming there's a hardware issue.
Small maintenance habits can help prevent avoidable downtime and keep your mining operation running smoothly.
With ViaBTC, learn the basics and build better mining habits one step at a time.

Bitcoin is trading near **$80,932** right now, up **1.54%** over the last 24 hours, while Ethereum sits around **$2,354**, up **1.99%**. On the surface, that looks like a quiet, healthy session. But beneath the surface, something far more important is happening — and if you only watch the price chart, you will miss it.
The real story is in the behavior of the companies that actually hold crypto on their balance sheets. For the past two years, this group — the so-called "treasury companies" — has been one of the most powerful forces driving the market. Th

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.

#paimomo This is an interesting meme coin with over 100 holders. So many prominent community members are positioned in it, and it even has a 5% transaction fee that automatically funds buybacks and burns, yet the project team has abandoned it. I feel like the team might regret it
