Down 20.9% in forty hours; the rebound took just three hours.
Someone asked: Is the sell-off over?
I said: Look at the volume first.
The 05:00 candle plunged to 86.7, with 16.34 million traded in a single hour.
The previous candle had only 850k.
Nineteen times.
Then they asked: Can I buy in?
I said: Before buying in, first look at why I’m not.
$SOXL Now at 91.92, with 93.70 overhead and 5.7% downside to 86.7.
There are no signals in this range, only noise.
Then they asked: How long should I wait?
Wait for a retest of 86.7 that holds, or for the price to reclaim 93.70—one of the two has to hap

$STRK This 12.86% plunge is a high-risk game, so I placed a limit order at 0.0635 and picked up the first batch. First, a position update: I’m currently flat and waiting for an entry. I closed yesterday’s short from 0.0710 at 0.0652 to take profit, capturing most of this drop. The 24h low of 0.0631 landed right at the lower edge of a previous high-volume trading zone. Turnover of 148.9M is clearly up, suggesting that some buyers are picking up coins amid the panic selling. But the large bearish candle from 0.0747 to 0.0631 had no meaningful rebound, so short-term sentiment remains bearish.

Can stablecoins also have a directional bias? Bottom line: yes, but only for mean reversion within an extremely narrow range, and $U currently has a clear edge in relative sideways strength.
Sector comparison: $SOL is trading at 103.48, with MA5 below MA20, RSI at 44.7, bearish MACD, a funding rate of -0.0022%, and a range of about 3.89% over 30 candles; $APT is trading at 0.7936, down 5.56% over 24h, with RSI at just 37.2, bearish MACD, and a range of about 10.99%. Both are below their moving averages, with weak momentum. By contrast, $U is trading at 1.0007, with MA5=1.00064 above MA20=1.

A Bitcoin whale dormant for 12 to 13 years suddenly awakens, transferring 416.69 BTC for an unrealized profit of about $33.71 million!
On October 18, two long-dormant wallets transferred BTC worth about $33.82 million to the same address. These assets were originally worth about $105,400, representing an astonishing gain over more than a decade.
But a whale transfer doesn’t necessarily mean a sell-off. What’s really worth watching is where the funds go next: a transfer to a private wallet may not affect the market, while funds flowing to an exchange could signal potential selling pressure.

The most unusual detail in today’s market action isn’t the declines themselves, but relative strength: $STRK fell 12.04%, $BAT fell 9.28%, while $ENA
in the same sector fell just 5.23%. Its RSI of 37.4 is also higher than STRK’s 31.3 and BAT’s 36.7. The smaller decline and higher indicator suggest selling pressure has been released more gradually, with funds not rushing for the exits.
But relative resilience doesn’t mean a reversal is underway. ENA is currently at 0.1885, still below MA5=0.18964 and MA20=0.193345, with the bearish moving-average alignment yet to recover. The MACD histogram

PPI rises 6.3% year over year, highest since 2022; energy is “eating” the entire economy
Yesterday, when the PPI data came out, I was looking at Gate’s candlestick chart. The moment the numbers appeared, my first thought was, “I must be reading that wrong.”
September PPI rose 6.3% year over year, versus expectations of 5.4% and a previous reading of 5.4%. It rose 1.3% month over month, versus expectations of 0.6% and a previous reading of 0.4%. Core PPI rose 5.0% year over year, versus expectations of 4.4%. Core PPI rose 0.7% month over month, versus expectations of 0.3%. All figures significa

ETH's daily candle closed like this. For today's intraday short-term trading, consider shorting on a rebound at higher levels. For reference: enter in the 2420-2440 range if price rebounds, with stop losses at 2442 and 2458; targets are 2391-2361. You can take profits in batches, setting aside one portion each at 2391 and 2361. If price continues to break down, the next target is 2315.

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

Bitcoin at $81,500: Bulls and Bears in a Standoff
Bitcoin is trading around $81,500 on Saturday, October 17, 2026, caught in a notable technical standoff where short-term bearish moving averages clash with a significantly healthier long-term structure.
With a market cap of roughly $1.639 trillion, daily trading volume of $13.967 billion, and a 24-hour range of $81,108.80 to $81,733.01, the market has settled into a narrow consolidation phase, leaving traders to decide whether the latest accumulation is the start of a recovery or just a pause before support gets tested again.
