Gold XAU, BTC, ETH and other analysis
Beijing time, October 25, 2026 (weekend)
Recent review and data
Gold remained under pressure this week, dipping to a low near 4080. The DXY closed near 101.76 on Friday. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield eased to around 4.99%–5.00%, but remains relatively high, and the real-rate headwind for gold has not fundamentally eased.
Geopolitics (compiled from reports by Reuters and others): Houthi forces claimed attacks on several oil facilities and airports in Saudi Arabia; the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted some of the missiles. Iran also said an oil

Tell Me Lies: Grok, GPT, Claude Predict Bitcoin Price
Can AI think as clearly when speaking as when writing? A Bitcoin forecasting experiment by News put ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude Opus 5.5 to the test, exposing uncertain predictions, questionable reasoning, and a surprising twist: Claude's voice model proved more transparent about its limitations than its text-based counterpart.
AI can hold a conversation, speak like a financial analyst, and smoothly deliver Bitcoin price predictions. But does talking to AI deliver the same quality of reasoning as typing a query? An experiment on October 23,

#Gate广场万圣节 Inflation’s Return and AI’s Demystification: Global Markets Are Experiencing a “Reset in Pricing Logic”
In late October, global markets shattered a long-held asset allocation principle in an almost brutal fashion: when the threat of war looms, gold is not necessarily a safe haven. Brent crude hit $117.45 per barrel intraday on Friday, breaking above that level for the first time since April, and gaining more than 10% for the month; spot gold fell below the key psychological level of $4,000 per ounce, losing more than 4% for the week and hitting a more than three-month low; the Nasda

How long will it take for Bitcoin to return to $126k? 🤔️️️️️️
It has been almost a year since the all-time high (ATH). Currently, the price is 34% below the peak, but it is already 43% above the July low of $58k. If we analyze the infographic above, which shows the relationship between the depth of the decline and the duration of the recovery, we can see the following:
🔘 Historically, after a drop of 50-55%, it has taken 60-230 days from the bottom to return to the previous ATH.
🔘 Approximately 114 days have passed since the July low.
🔘 If $58k was indeed the bottom, the historical recover

The most unusual detail in today's market is that $FIL is down 3.15%, yet the funding rate remains positive at +0.0027%. This divergence between price and funding indicates that longs are still paying to hold their positions, while shorts have not built positions on a large scale. It looks more like longs reducing and rotating positions among themselves than trend-driven selling pressure.
Technically, MA5=0.9366 remains above MA20=0.935845, so the moving-average structure is intact. The MACD histogram at +0.002024 remains bullish, but RSI is only 41.5, indicating weak momentum. Price is near

The most noteworthy thing isn’t that Solana Company made Hong Kong’s list of strategic enterprises, but that Hong Kong’s efforts to attract talent and businesses in Web3 infrastructure are becoming increasingly pragmatic😂
The Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) has included Solana Company in its seventh batch of strategic enterprises, making it the only blockchain infrastructure company selected in 2026. What does this mean? It means Hong Kong is no longer just welcoming exchange operators and license applicants; the government is also making room and recognizing companies tha

Long $SOLV Entry: 0.0044 - 0.0045 Stop-loss: 0.0040 Take-profit: 0.0049 - 0.0054 - 0.0060
$SOLV Currently trading near a potential support area, buyers may enter here and push the price into a new upward move.

This is making things even worse for families that aren’t well-off. Can someone reimburse me

It’s only been a month since the start of freshman year of high school, and almost every class has someone taking a leave of absence due to mental health issues. Is this normal?
To be fair, sometimes it isn’t entirely the school’s fault.
The children are always the most innocent ones. This kind of situation is usually caused by pressure from both the school and the parents, which can lead to mental health issues.

Understand DeFi Protocols: Don’t Focus Only on APY—Where Does the Yield Come From? Who Bears the Risk?
In DeFi (decentralized finance), one question that is easy to overlook is: when a protocol advertises an enticing annual percentage yield, where does that yield actually come from?
APY is only a way of presenting the result; it does not, by itself, prove that a protocol is worth participating in.
To assess whether a DeFi protocol is sustainable, you can start with these four areas.
1. Where does the yield come from?
Yield may come from interest paid by borrowers, trading fees, liquidity incen
