$16.6B in Bitcoin and Ethereum options expire coming Friday, September 25, on Deribit.
One of the biggest quarterly settlements of the year.
The breakdown:
🔹 BTC notional: ~$14.6B across ~186,000 contracts
🔹 ETH notional: ~$1.9B
🔹 Put/call ratio: 0.52 — nearly 2x more calls than puts, meaning traders are heavily positioned for upside
🔹 Max pain: $70K–$72K
🔹 Spot (as of data pull): ~$78K
Why this matters:
Market makers who sold these options are short gamma. As expiry nears, they hedge by buying or selling BTC to stay neutral, this hedging flow tends to pin price near the max pain zone an

I also copied these two people’s trades last night.
Their trading is really poor—they have a history of accumulating positions and stubbornly holding losing trades.
Their win rates all come from getting stuck positions back to break-even.
After seeing how they traded, I exited immediately.
Only after being liquidated do you understand it; then you can see through it in an instant.
When you’re wrong, cut your losses promptly—don’t keep holding on just to make your track record look good.
This kind of mindset for leading other people’s trades is basically like scamming them out of th

A white-hat security researcher used Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 to break into an OpenAI account.
According to disclosures, they used the newly released Claude Opus 5 to chain together an image-processing vulnerability into a complete exploit chain, compromise an OpenAI employee’s ChatGPT account, and gain access to the internal GitHub environment.
What is most worth pondering is not the vulnerability itself, but that “AI helping attack AI” now has its first complete case. The speed barrier in offense and defense is being flattened by the models themselves—the defense side must fix vulnerabiliti

**Trading Plan Long $UNI
Entry: 8.829
SL: 8.400
TP1: 8.911
TP2: 9.051
Explanation: UNI is up +26.33% and has surged from the 7.507 low. MACD is strongly bullish. Buying the current momentum targets the 8.911 high, with an extension to the 9.051 level. SL below the 8.404 purple support.

Bitcoin rose 1.5% to $77.4K. Buyers gained the upper hand, but have held it for only 4 hours.
Yesterday, a similar signal faded within the next hour.

🚨Don't ask why it's rising—the script was written long ago!
Let the chart do the talking. When I drew the trendline for this one-way rally, I knew something big was up. This morning's outlook was crystal clear: I was bullish on BTC reaching around 77500, but reality saw it break straight through the take-profit level, with the high reaching 78000.
Now look at this just-closed candlestick—didn't it soar all the way while precisely riding the moving average? Those still shorting against the trend and shouting about a crash every day are probably already lining up on the rooftop, right?😎

Wall Street currently appears more bearish on Bitcoin than gold.
According to JPMorgan, that imbalance could actually create more upside potential for BTC. Gold ETFs have already recovered all of their 2026 outflows, while Bitcoin ETFs have recovered only around half.
Meanwhile, short interest in BlackRock’s IBIT is close to its highest level this year, while GLD’s short interest remains below its historical average.
If that bearish positioning starts to unwind, JPMorgan argues Bitcoin could receive stronger support than gold simply because there are more shorts that could be forced to cover.#

Why is everyone suddenly quiet about SYMBOL just before a major move?

$ETH /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 2488.46 – 2496.58
SL: 2453.54
TP1: 2521.76
TP2: 2541.25
TP3: 2570.48

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bullish, and the 1h price is sitting at 2492.16, right inside the entry zone that spans from 2488.46 to 2496.58, which means we are already positioned for the setup. The 15m RSI reading of 69.89 shows the short-term momentum is strong but not yet overbought, leaving room for a push higher before exhaustion. The 1h ATR of 16.242606 tells us the current volatility is enough

Watching the charts got so annoying that turning them off actually made things clearer. Once my eyes stopped fixating on them, my mind stopped panicking too. A few days ago, I checked $MAGMA before bed and noticed funds quietly entering. It was bottoming out without breaking down, so I suggested entering with a small position and exiting if support broke.

The MAGMA long position climbed from 0.17163 to 0.20827, +419.04%—that feels amazing. Staying up was worth it. I’ve taken most of it off the table, taking 80% in profits first, while protecting the remaining 20% at breakeven. If it keeps pu

On September 17, the SEC issued what it's calling an "Innovation Exemption," a temporary, conditional order granting Tokenized Securities Venues, or TSVs, relief from being classified as an "exchange" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In plain terms, this lets specific onchain venues trade tokenized versions of publicly listed US stocks through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools, withou
