Before a token unlock, check 3 things: who receives the tokens, their share of circulating supply, and market depth
An unlock means tokens that were previously restricted can be transferred or traded under the relevant arrangements. It doesn't mean holders will immediately sell them all.
The same amount of tokens unlocking can affect different projects differently. Look at who receives them, their proportion of the current circulating supply, and whether the market has enough depth to absorb them.
Actual transfers and sales also need to be monitored.
When I first got into crypto, I tended to i

The consensus ahead of the September 29 rate decision is fairly clear: rates are most likely to remain unchanged. So the real focus may not be whether the Fed cuts rates, but what Warsh says after the meeting.
I’ve outlined three possible scenarios:
1. In line with expectations: No change + a neutral tone
The market has already priced in the likelihood of no rate cut, so there may be little volatility once the decision is announced.
2. Hawkish: Emphasis on inflation risks and delaying rate cuts
The dollar and Treasury yields could strengthen, putting pressure on rate-sensitive assets such

$FIL Has this drop finally bottomed out? Let’s look at the data first: down 13.26% over 7 days and 14.10% over 30 days, though it’s still up +28.09% over 90 days. Today it bounced +0.67% from 0.8814, which is basically negligible after a string of red candles. I’ll keep waiting and won’t chase a small bounce like this.
Does a tiny green candle near the low make you think the trend has reversed? I won’t change my view over a gain this small.
Risk warning: The above is only my personal market observation and does not constitute investment advice. Contract trading carries extremely high risks, so

Earnings blew the roof off, but $SKHYNIX still couldn't break above 1100—that's the most important thing to watch today.
Profits hit a record high, and the company also floated expectations for $75.4 billion in buybacks; spot prices surged 9% at one point.
By the usual script, the futures market should have piled right in.
But reality: SKHYNIX climbed to around 1097.74, then was immediately knocked back to 1085.
I'm more focused on this detail.
Funds saw net outflows of about $189 million over 15 days, but more than $10 million flowed in over the past 8 hours—not that nobody's buying, but lon

Forecast for today
Base case for today, October 28, 2026: a volatile rebound with a moderately bullish bias ahead of the Fed decision, but not a confirmed start of a new impulse.
The main risk for the crypto market today is not technical oversold conditions, but the reaction to the Fed decision and comments on the future path of interest rates.

Do Larger Net Inflows to Exchanges Make Prices More Likely to Fall?
In crypto market analysis, exchange fund flows are often used to gauge market sentiment. When large amounts of tokens move into exchanges, some believe selling pressure is increasing; when tokens continue to flow out of exchanges, others believe investors are accumulating.
But judging price movements solely by fund flows can easily overlook a key point: fund movements reflect asset transfers and do not necessarily indicate actual buying or selling.
First, distinguish net inflows from actual selling.
Exchange net inflows usuall

I’ve been so worn down by $BTC
lately that it’s actually made me seriously consider pursuing a PhD. I never planned on it at all, but now I feel like crypto trading might be the hardest thing in the world, and $BTC is probably the hardest asset of all to figure out, so I might as well apply for a PhD.
The problem is I don’t have much to show for myself. If I do pursue a PhD, I’ll probably have to stay at Chongqing University and continue studying. I’ve heard that doing a direct PhD at my own university doesn’t count against my advisor’s PhD student quota, so I’m weighing that option.

The best bid is 99U and the best ask is 100U—what is the 1U difference?
This 1U is called the bid-ask spread, also often called the spread. The best bid is the highest current buy order price, and the best ask is the lowest current sell order price.
Suppose you buy at 100U and then immediately sell at 99U. Even if the quoted prices haven't changed, you'll incur a loss from the price difference, and there may also be fees.
The actual execution also depends on the order quantities, so the entire order may not necessarily be filled at the best price.
When you're new to reading the order book, it'

Spot Rises, but the Derivatives Market Weakens: What Does This Mean?
In the crypto market, a noteworthy phenomenon sometimes occurs: spot prices continue to rise, while perpetual futures funding rates decline and open interest also begins to fall.
Faced with this divergence, some believe the market is losing upward momentum, while others think leverage is being flushed out, making the market healthier.
How should we interpret this? The key is to first understand what different market indicators reflect.
First, a rise in spot prices does not necessarily mean leveraged demand is increasing.

Gold Reclaims $4,000—Don’t Just Focus on the Ups and Downs! The Real Battle Is Still Ahead
Gold has moved back above $4,000. On the surface, it looks like a price rebound, but behind it is a tug-of-war between oil prices, inflation, the dollar, and Federal Reserve policy.
Previously, international gold prices fell to around $3,975, hitting their lowest level in months. As oil prices retreated and some investors bought the dip, gold found support again. However, the market remains divided over the future path of interest rates, putting the Fed’s latest remarks in the spotlight.

The Myth: AI Growth Is All About Processors
Many people think the biggest winners from artificial intelligence are the companies making the fastest processors. But there is another important part of the story: memory. Even the most powerful AI chip needs fast access to information to work efficiently. Without enough high-speed memory, expensive computing systems cannot perform at their full potential.

Can Arbitrage Trading Lose Money? The Real Risks Often Lie Beyond the Spread
Many people believe that arbitrage trading involves holding mutually hedged positions, and that simply waiting for prices to converge will generate relatively stable returns.
But arbitrage in the real world is not always so simple. Even when the trade directions appear to be hedged, capital commitment, margin requirements, trade execution, and platform risks can still cause an otherwise reasonable strategy to lose money.
First, hedging does not mean there is no risk.
For example, buying spot and selling futures can re
