BTC is stuck at 81,700, exactly at the cost basis for ETF institutions. The 20-month moving average at 87,165 is overhead, and every step of the rebound faces selling from investors looking to break even. ETH has fallen below 2,400, with its 4-hour moving averages fully bearishly aligned; weakness remains unchanged. The Altcoin Season Index is at 61, making it look imminent, but 20 of 26 categories are falling, and over 80% of altcoins remain below their 200-day moving averages. Only localized rotation is underway in AI names like NEAR.

move like that is absolutely insane. It's up 260%, and honestly, I'm still trying to calm down. Sometimes, the market gives you a huge gift when you least expect it. Still active: $ZEC : Current price 1,164.79 - 24-hour change: -4.29% : Current price 0.23757 - 24-hour change: +24.24%

#ethbtc Dad, give this to us, please, I beg you :))

I’m not chasing U.S. stocks at these levels today. The reason is simple: prices have risen sharply, but volume hasn’t kept up. Chasing now means being the last one in. A V-shaped reversal is one of the most common bull traps—it looks like an opportunity, but it’s really a pitfall. If you’re already in a position, watch support and don’t rush to add. Let’s come back next week and see if this call was right. If you’re keeping an eye on this, give me a follow.

Cardano traders cut leverage harder than anyone on our board in the 24 hours to Oct 17. Open bets on $ADA moved -6.62% with price at -3.76%, and shorts were paying longs a -0.01% funding fee to stay in.

Who the fuck poisoned me?

#CryptoMarketTurnsGreedy
The cryptocurrency market rewards patience and preparation, but it can punish impulsive decisions. When Bitcoin rallies, altcoins surge, and social media fills with predictions of massive profits, traders often become more focused on potential gains than the risks involved.
In my view, greed is one of the most underestimated dangers in crypto trading. It encourages traders to chase prices, use excessive leverage, ignore warning signals, and abandon their original strategies.

#GateBTCAndETHFuturesVolumeRanksTop3 🚀 Gate Takes Center Stage in the Global Futures Market!
📊 October 17, 2026 | Gate Square Market Spotlight
Two crypto giants. One powerful trading platform. 🔥 Gate has secured a top-three global ranking in both BTC and ETH futures trading volume, highlighting its growing role in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.
As Bitcoin and Ethereum traders navigate a volatile market, Gate's latest figures show substantial activity across both flagship assets.
💰 THE NUMBERS BEHIND THE HEADLINE
₿ BTC Futures on Gate: Approximately $7.47 billion in 24-hour trading

The US government spent $1,051,753,969,311 on net interest in fiscal 2026, its first year above $1 trillion. That is more than the $965,160,356,821 it spent on national defense, and more than double fiscal 2022's $475,120,812,162.

$TIA $TIA Don't expect a rally—you'll get trapped as soon as you enter. Look at the broader market repeatedly moving up and consolidating. These coins that pump hard only stay strong for a day, with a different one taking center stage and surging each day. There are so many opportunities, so don't keep betting on the same coin—unless you catch a one-way move, in which case milk it for all it's worth. I've noticed that over the past few weeks, Worldcoin (WLD) has risen every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with large inflows. Watch the levels and go long on pullbacks.

US September PPI Beats Expectations: Inflation Pressure Returns to the Spotlight
The US Producer Price Index (PPI) for September has delivered a stronger-than-expected reading, putting inflation, Federal Reserve policy, and global financial markets back in focus. For investors across traditional markets and crypto, this development deserves close attention.
📊 Why Does the PPI Report Matter?
The Producer Price Index measures changes in the prices businesses receive for their goods and services. When producer prices rise faster than expected, companies may fac
