The month is already half over! This month’s trend trade! Short from 870 to 798, nailed the target with 7,000 points of room! Honestly, this trade was really frustrating to hold! It kept reversing! But the bears stayed in control and went straight to the finish line! The Swing King’s levels are still delivering! The rate hike meeting is coming soon! We’re still in the fog, friends with no clear direction! Remember! Qingyao is always here!
Warsh’s speech today didn’t bring about much change! For the market action in the second half of the month, expect choppy trading. We’ll wait until Thursday

18,000 BTC options expired, with a Put Call Ratio of 1, a maximum pain point of $83,000, and a notional value of $1.47 billion.
Today, 4.5% of Bitcoin options open interest expired. This week, U.S. stocks saw a sharp pullback due to poor macroeconomic data, while cryptocurrencies followed the decline for most of the time, leaving the market relatively weak.
Judging from the major options data, IV is currently at a relatively low level. At 35%, there is not much room for further decline, and the market's expected volatility for future price movements has rea

$MARSCOIN #MARSCOIN
Broken Falling Wedge on 4H Chart.
Successful retest could provide 50-55% rise ✍️

$UNI The most interesting thing right now isn’t guessing whether prices will rise or fall, but seeing who’s forced to change their tune first.
The bulls’ test is at 7.634, and the bears’ test is at 6.83. $UNI is currently at 7.423, up 7.07% in 24 hours. The 1-hour support is 6.83, resistance is 7.634, and current volume is 0.18 times the average of the last 20 bars.
I’ll first note that $UNI’s price has already moved, but trading activity and volume haven’t followed. The direction may be tentatively trusted, but its continuation can’t be taken for granted; a move without follow-through could

WARSH’S IMF SPEECH:
HAWKISH OR DOVISH? WILL BITCOIN REBOUND OR PULL BACK?
My Market View | October 16, 2026
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has completed his fireside chat with IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva in Bangkok. With US inflation heating up and the October 27–28 FOMC meeting approaching, global markets are searching for one critical answer: will the Fed raise rates again, and what does that mean for Bitcoin?
My view is that Warsh delivered a balanced but inflation-focused message, with a less immediately hawkish tone than some traders

If I am checking more and more #Altcoins on higher timeframes, this doesn't necessarily mean we're in a bear market. It actually tells me we're at the beginning of a bull market cycle and are about to break out more strongly to the upside from here. $SUI The same goes for this. The MACD is curling upward nicely, and we just witnessed a regular market correction.

Solana is forming a bullish triangle pattern on the monthly timeframe.
If this breakout occurs, we may see the next wave upward.

$SNDK ‌is putting in a textbook higher low as storage demand quietly returns to the tape.
Trading Plan Long SNDK
Entry: 1,360 - 1,380
SL: 1,270
TP1: 1,408
TP2: 1,450
TP3: 1,500
SNDK is up 2.34% today at $1,376.97, defending the $1,279.53 low and reclaiming the MA10 at $1,367.03. Price is now trading above the MA10 but still slightly below the MA5 at $1,383.41, with the MA30 way up at $1,452.72 — so the broader structure is still in repair mode, not confirmed uptrend.
The MACD is the key signal here. The histogram has turned positive and DIF is crossing above DEA, which confirms the downside m

BTC had a false breakdown and reclaimed the level, then printed a large bullish candle. This kind of price action often means pullbacks will find support.
Long liquidity has already been cleared. The next move may be to sweep liquidity at 84k, but before that, quite a few people chased longs yesterday, so a flush lower would be healthy.
I’ll be watching the area around 81k. It’s near the 0.618 Fibonacci level and the green trendline on the 4-hour chart. If price holds above it on the 15-minute chart, I’ll consider going long, with a take-profit around 85k and a stop-loss at 80180.

Targets 82,000 → 81,600.
Short on continued weakness: If the 1H breaks below 81,600 and fails to reclai

Is this guy saying CZ did it on purpose? And are the remaining SOL events in the other cities still going ahead?

10.15 BTC Long/Short Ratio Analysis: Retail traders are sitting on the sidelines; large holders are sitting on the sidelines — a hands-off structure
A. The current ratio for retail traders is 0.4964, with the curve declining, indicating a cautious and bearish stance.
B. The long/short ratio for large holders is 0.87, with the curve flat, indicating a cautious and bearish stance among large holders.
Summary: A “hands-off structure.” After the market rebound, both retail traders and large holders are cautious and bearish, with no funds following through, so the rebound is bound not to go far.#美国

Gate Is Rising Among the Top Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures Trading Platforms
My Market View | October 16, 2026
1. Gate Is Building a Stronger Position in Crypto Derivatives
In crypto markets, a platform earns traders' attention through more than brand recognition. Liquidity, trading activity, execution quality, transparency and dependable risk-management tools all matter. Gate continues to strengthen its position in the digital asset industry, and its Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) futures markets deserve attention.
Gate's role in BTC and ETH futures tra
