Machi Big Brother is back to protecting himself. Since 18:00 yesterday, he’s cut nearly 3,000 ETH worth of long positions, with 3,325 ETH left in his pocket. What really hurts is the roller coaster ride in unrealized profits: his account was still up $330,000 yesterday, but after one night’s sleep, that was down to just $23,000—money doesn’t disappear this fast even through a leak. His entry price is now 2,420, liquidation price 2,380, with 25x leverage—a difference of just $40, paper-thin. No wonder he’s been cutting so decisively. This isn’t just reducing his position; he’s clearly getting h

Crypto Digest: BTC, ETH, ZEC
After two days of scary U.S. inflation data, the market is catching its breath. Here's who did what 👇
🟠 BITCOIN → THE FAKE-OUT
$BTC dipped to $79,709, below the October 8 low, then closed the day back at ~$82.1K. Volume was 1.45x the average, so this wasn't a sleepy bounce.
🎯 Above $82.5K → $84K is next
⚠ Close below $79.7K → the rebound is cancelled
🟣 ETHEREUM → STILL UNDER THE CLOUDS
ETH is up ~3% to ~$2,435, but it's still stuck under both its 20-day and 50-day averages, and both are pointing down. It's like trying to climb stairs on an escalator going the o

$ETH is looking a bit weak here.
• Lost the $2,550 level
• Trading back below the April highs
• $2,450 is now the key level to watch
If Ethereum fails to close the week above $2,450, another flush could be on the table.
Watching the weekly close closely. 👀

Last night, CZ deleted more than a hundred tweets on Twitter, and many people thought there was some new regulatory development. But CZ came out to dispel the rumors, saying he was using AI for testing. In the post debunking the rumors, he cited many crypto projects, including familiar names like BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, XRP, HYPE, and ZEC, and also slipped in a personal plug for $SIGN . I remember CZ invested in this project too, but its price has never really taken off in the short term. CZ has always liked to casually slip plugs into his posts, then repost them later once the price has gone up.

Are Overvalued Storage Stocks the Key to This Round of Pullbacks?
Previously, AI computing power became a major theme in the capital markets, and memory chips, high-performance flash storage, and data center hard drives also attracted investor interest. As stocks such as Kioxia, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate have pulled back one after another, the market has begun to reassess a question: Was the previous rally built on actual earnings, or overly optimistic expectations?
AI development does indeed require large amounts of data storage, but investors cannot simply equate demand growth wi

$SNTR we are back, da moon as always

Today’s core assessment: ETH is currently in a post-decline consolidation and recovery phase, with a cautious-to-bearish short-term bias. The priority is to wait for signals to short a rebound, while keeping a breakout-long plan in reserve. Blindly chasing rallies or selling off at current levels is not recommended.
The latest market reports show ETH at approximately $2,413–$2,460 on October 17, with quote times varying by source; BTC is trading around $81,000. Whether ETH can regain and hold $2,450–$2,480 will be an important indicator of whether the short-term rebound can continue.

October 17 Evening Strategy Plan, Priority Ranking, For Followers Only
Current optimal execution order
Resistance at 2442–2455: prioritize shorting
Pullback to 2415–2425 and holds: go long
Drops to 2392–2400 and quickly recovers: go long with a small position
Holds above 2467 on the 15-minute chart and pullback holds: breakout long
Middle range of 2430–2440: wait, don't chase
Current price is around 2440, right near the first resistance:
Do not chase longs immediately;
If 2442–2448 meets resistance, consider a small short;
If it breaks strongly above 2448, wait and observe 2455–2467;
If it fal

$SOL SHORT SETUP — NEXT TARGET 102.50
Entry: 104.70 – 105.20 TP1: 103.80 TP2: 102.50 Next Price: 102.50 Extended Target: 100.50 SL: 106.20
$SOL is struggling to regain bullish momentum on the 1H chart. Price has recovered from the recent 102.44 low but is now consolidating below the 105.20 resistance area. A confirmed rejection could push price toward 103.80 and 102.50, while a sustained move above 106.20 would invalidate the bearish setup.

$BR I nearly paid for another lesson on this 16-point move. I cut 30k U near 0.29 the day before yesterday. Today, I watched it surge to 0.494 and then get slammed back to 0.4046, with $159 million in trading volume—that kind of volume isn't generated by retail traders.
On-chain data shows heavy turnover by major players in the 0.38–0.40 range. The 24-hour price range is nearly 70%, a classic retest after a shakeout.
Sentiment is split: those who chased the rally are stuck above 0.48, while those who bought the dip couldn't hold on at 0.30. At the current 0.4046, 0.38 is the dividing line betw

【Oil Falls Below 100, Memory Chips Take Another Hit: What Is the Market Waiting for on the Last Weekend Before Rate Decision Week】
Saturday evening, crypto markets drifted lower on thin volume, with BTC at 81,613, ETH at 2,435, SOL at 104.72, and gold holding around 4,170. Losses were limited, but the direction was uniform—nobody wanted to add positions over the weekend; everyone is waiting for rate decision week on 10/27-28.
The real news today was in the stock market close: SOXL closed at 94.66, falling below its previous low of 95.23; SNDK retreated to 1,301; SK Hynix was at 926 and MU at 8

Why Are Micron, SanDisk, and Western Digital Starting to Diverge?
Although they are all benefiting from AI growth, performance within the storage sector has been uneven. Micron, SanDisk, Western Digital, and Seagate are all connected to the storage industry, but their business structures, profit models, and market expectations differ, so it is no surprise that their share prices are moving in different directions.
Micron focuses primarily on DRAM and NAND flash memory, with its investment case tied to high-bandwidth memory, server memory demand, and changes in memory chip prices. SanDisk is mo
