October 18 Strategy Plan Priority Ranking, For Followers Only
Current Best Assessment
At the current price of around 2396:
Do not chase longs
Do not chase shorts
Wait for the price to enter a key area
My priority ranking:
Short if rejected at 2403–2418
Go long if it holds near 2380
Go long after a breakout above 2405 and a confirmed retest
If it breaks below 2378 directly, wait for a failed rebound before considering a short
If it holds above 2428 convincingly, cancel the intraday bearish bias

Gate BTC and ETH Futures Trading Volume: Can the Momentum Continue?
In my view, the momentum Gate is seeing in the derivatives market could persist; however, sustainable growth depends on whether this increased trading activity is driven by lasting demand rather than mere short-term speculation.
The reported figures are encouraging: with BTC and ETH in an uptrend, Gate ranks among the top three exchanges globally for futures trading volume in both assets, with BTC futures volume reaching approximately $7.18 billion over a 24-hour period.
Nevertheless, high

$CAKE Current price: 2.19. Key short-term levels are 2.157 (Bollinger lower band) and 2.1967 (MA20). In terms of moving averages, MA5=2.1936 remains below MA20, indicating a weak bearish alignment, but the gap is only 0.003, and the convergence of the moving averages means a directional move is approaching; the MACD histogram at -0.002064 is bearish, but its absolute value is extremely small, suggesting momentum is nearly exhausted; RSI at 48.0 is in neutral-to-weak territory, with neither oversold rebound momentum nor overbought pullback pressure; the price is near the Bollinger lower band a

$PI If you insist on holding and refuse to sell, capital will insist on staying out of the market. The price will keep fluctuating, wearing you down until you’re completely broke—then let’s see if you’ll finally cut your losses. Capitalists have plenty of money and no urgency. But you’re poor and need money for all sorts of things; you can’t wait.
Someone asked, “When will it go up?” A rise may only happen after all of you have sold the coins you’re holding.

$ETH is currently at 2,396.89, down 1.15% over 24 hours, with volume at 0.12 times the average over the past 20 candles. Put these figures together, and the key point to explain is that $ETH’s price has already moved, but trading activity and volume have not followed.
One verifiable update: Gate’s official announcement reads, “Gate Research: Corporate Earnings Support U.S. Stocks, KR1 Launches Ethereum Validator Nodes…”. It may explain why people are paying attention, but it cannot answer which way the price will move.
You can tentatively trust the direction, but not assume the move will conti

Let’s start with a term: weekend gold prices.
The $XAU on screen isn’t gold moving now; it’s quotes with no takers shifting around.
Only 5.97 million traded in the last hour, compared with 150 million in a single hour a few days ago.
“Breaking above 4205 means a new rally.”
I’ve heard that twice in the past three days. Here are the numbers:
1. 4205.65 was touched only once, at 10-16 22:00, and it hasn’t gone higher since.
2. Since then, over the past 34 hours, it has steadily ground back to 4164.07.
3. The 24-hour range is 4157.36 to 4173.66, a spread of 0.39%.
With a range this narrow, it’s

Most people are watching silver and waiting for a breakout. I think it needs to take a dip first. That congestion zone from a year ago still hasn’t overlapped with anything, leaving a small gap in the structure. If it really moves up from here, that would be interesting. The iHnS on gold lines up too. The hardest part of trading isn’t calling the direction—it’s waiting for a signal you can actually understand. So what’s the takeaway? I haven’t figured it out yet either. If you’re keeping an eye on this, give me a follow.

$XAU SHORT SETUP — GOLD FACING SELLING PRESSURE 📉**
Entry: 4164 – 4172 (Short)
SL: 4182
TP1: 4155
TP2: 4145
TP3: 4130
Gold is struggling to recover after rejection from 4205.65. Buyers look weak, and sellers are defending the recovery.
As long as 4182 holds, another downside move remains possible.
**Watch for rejection near entry before taking the trade.**

#美国9月PPI大超预期
My 83626 short, current price 81382.4, with a large unrealized profit. 82057 will determine direction.
Market: The 4H chart pulled back from 84340, bounced weakly after bottoming at 79732.3, and is now at 81382.4 (down 0.21% over 24h). MA5 (81277.8) and MA10 (81367.6) are intertwined near the current price, while MA30 (82057.7) continues to trend down and cap price. The overall bearish trend continues, with weak, choppy trading.
P&L calculation: 83626 - 81382.4 = a 2243.6-point price difference; the large unrealized profit continues to grow.
Key levels: Support 80751/79732, resis

$CT I took the full -12.73% hit on this move: entered at 0.385, cut at 0.34, down 11 points. The post-mortem is simple: greed. Before the Fed minutes, I clearly saw $CT 24h volume shrink to just over 20M and large on-chain transfers start flowing out, but I still fantasized that dovish minutes would spark a rally. Instead, the minutes were hawkish, and $CT plunged straight through 0.35, hitting a low of 0.3155. I set my stop at 0.34 and at least stuck to my discipline, but the entry thesis itself was wrong—loading up on a small-cap token ahead of a macro event; correlation is no excuse, I was

KOSPI Rebounds After a 7.6% Crash: Is the Semiconductor Sell-Off Over, or Is More Volatility Ahead?
The Asian stock market experienced a dramatic shift on October 15–16, 2026, as semiconductor stocks came under heavy selling pressure before staging a partial recovery. South Korea’s KOSPI index suffered a sharp 7.6% decline on October 15, dropping to 5,554 points and triggering a circuit breaker. The index touched its lowest level since April, highlighting how quickly market sentiment can change when inflation concerns, interest-rate expectations, and uncertainty s
