BTC’s Tug-of-War at $80,000: These Are the Three Levels I’m Watching

After the PPI data, BTC has been moving back and forth between $80,200 and $81,500. I marked several key levels on Gate to help me make decisions.

First level: $80,000.

This is a key support level on the order book and a psychological round-number threshold. BTC briefly fell close to $80,000 during the early Asian session before rebounding to around $81,500. Holding this level shows that buying demand exists. But if it breaks, the next support lies between $78,000 and $79,000.

Second level: $81,500.

This is the aver

Took a break and made another $20—the KPI was exceeded!

$BTC On October 15 Beijing time, global markets saw sharp sector divergence, with safe-haven trading in U.S. Treasuries heating up again. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell 10 basis points to 5.08%, easing liquidity pressure at the margin and boosting precious metals, with spot gold rising more than 1% and spot silver gaining nearly 2%. U.S. stocks showed mixed performance, with the Dow oscillating on strength and the Nasdaq under pressure. The memory semiconductor sector bore the brunt, with Kioxia ADR plunging 10%, while SanDisk, Seagate, SK Hynix, and Micron also fell sharply in tandem.

Haters, say something????????Did I get the overall direction wrong?????You still want me to return to my entry price and reverse my position during the livestream????

BTC short directly pocketed 20,000 U, capturing 4,100 points!
It’s been a long time since the rhythm was this smooth—direction, entry, execution, one link after another.
Once the market action falls into my rhythm, this old short seller’s blade won’t go dull! $BTC

Aave has $18B in TVL globally, but on Base, Morpho is outperforming it by a huge margin.
I think there’s a lesson here about how lending protocols scale.
Look at the difference.
On Base (TVL):
• $Morpho: $4.38B
• $Aave: $537M
Weekly lending fees:
• $Morpho: $2.51M
• $Aave: $248K
Morpho holds roughly 8x more capital and generates 10x more lending fees on the same network.
But I wouldn’t attribute that entirely to better lending products.
A large part of Morpho’s growth comes from how its infrastructure reaches users.
Coinbase and Robinhood Earn products each surpassed $500M in deposits in Septe

The bank when they hear you accepted their 29% 84 month car loan

You can tell at a glance that this company really knows how to play the game.

Summary of @chameleon_jeff key points with @TheStalwart & @tracyalloway on Odd Lots:
- Tracy says she approves of companies with a great mascot like Hypurr
- Joe says moderators deleted Hyperliquid's Wikipedia page calling it "crypto spam" & "definitely not something notable"
- Jeff is very serious about Hyperliquid being a protocol to house all of finance (even housing 90% of finance would be a huge success)
- Hyperliquid is a step function improvement over fragmented electronic markets just as those electronic markets were to pit trading
- Hyperliquid isn't trying to displace anything, the t

Bitcoin's next difficulty rise could push some rigs below power cost
Bitcoin’s October 14 snapshot projects a 5.68% difficulty increase around October 16, with the adjustment still pending. At unchanged Bitcoin price, subsidy and average fees per block, the projected retarget would reduce revenue per hash by 5.37%. That would erase the electricity cushion for 20 J/TH equipment paying 8 cents/kWh.
Bitcoin miners face a projected 5.68% difficulty increase around Oct. 16, putting equipment with thin electricity cushions under pressure. If Bitcoin's price, block subsidy and average fees per block

It’s imperative for $BTC to hold these levels this week and close above.
A successful hold and we get another wave to $89k/$90k

How bout that liquidity drain
$BTC #ALTS

After the Korean stock market hit a circuit breaker and Hynix's original stock fell 11% that day, $SKHY ’s premium rose, reaching 52.5%.
U.S. liquidity is still somewhat better; over the past 2 days, US Hynix has been following the decline less and less.
I’m planning to buy a TradingView membership in November, after which I’ll be able to share my own charts.
For now, I can only post the code today: NASDAQ:SKHY*10/(KRX:000660/FX_IDC:USDKRW)-1

Bonds plunge as US inflation data comes in extremely high.
The Fed has to tighten its policies, but it’s clear that bonds suggest something is breaking.

#每周来晒 #USSeptemberPPIDataRelease
US September PPI data will be released at 20:30 Beijing time tonight (8:30 a.m. ET). This is one of the final major inflation readings before the next Federal Reserve decision window. Below I directly answer the two official questions of this Weekly Share edition and then provide full supporting analysis with as many percentages and data points as possible.
Question 1: Will September PPI exceed or fall short of expectations? Is inflationary pressure on the production side strong?
My clear answer:
I expect September PPI to exceed the consensus slightly or lan

Bitou’s plaza is about to reach 1,000 followers, and Cui has recently received over 80,000 views; the two participating projects, @axisrobotics and @NeoSoulAI, are also about to undergo their TGE, so it seems the good days are not far away
Keep going, Bitou; keep going, Bitou; keep going, Bitou
We must make sure to get a sip of soup in this dark jungle

RED HOT PPI. RED HOT inflation data.
And yet… Treasury yields are dropping HARD.
This could mean the bond market had already priced in the inflation scare, and is now beginning to look through it toward lower inflation ahead.
If that’s the case, this will become a VERY important shift for risk assets.

Watch me reach 5,000 in three days

$OP Why is it pushing higher against the broader market? Put simply, it’s not retail’s faith—it’s someone else doing the math.
I checked a few big accounts, and a 50x leveraged short just got slapped in the face—shorting at the highs, only for the price to fall from the 0.15 range to just above 0.13, prompting them to move their stop-losses to breakeven one by one. On the other hand, it has gained 40% in 30 days, while BTC managed only single-digit gains over the same period—the gap is right there. Betting on an altcoin like this with a position leveraged dozens of times means a random bounce

The Return of the Stagflation Ghost—When PPI and Employment Data Tell the Same Story
High inflation is not scary, and slowing growth is not scary either. What is scary is when both occur simultaneously while policymakers have few tools left to use.
September nonfarm payrolls “disappointed,” with only 29,000 jobs added. August data was revised down to around 133,000, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, slightly above last month’s 4.1%.
Meanwhile, September PPI rose 6.3% year-on-year, far exceeding expectations; CPI rose 3.7% year-on-year, also above expectations. Taken together, the two i
