The Fed goes quiet, earnings take center stage, PMI wraps up: “volatility harvesting week” is here
From October 17 to 29, the Fed is in its pre-FOMC blackout period, when officials are barred from publicly commenting on monetary policy. In his final speech before the blackout, Warsh explicitly rejected the very idea of “forward guidance.”
The market has lost what it relied on most over the past decade: officials’ remarks as its traditional navigation system.
Pricing power has been handed entirely to data and corporate earnings. Meta and Tesla report after Wednesday’s close, initial jobless cla

SEC pushes regulatory framework hard, $ONDO volume ratio 0.363: I'm bearish
$ONDO is now at 0.433: SEC Chairman Atkins says that even if the CLARITY Act fails, he'll use existing authority to push a regulatory framework.
I'll show my hand—I'm bearish; any rebound is an exit window.
24h volume is 11,799,916 USDT, just 0.363 times the 30-day average—buyers haven't entered.

Restarting the $30-a-day challenge: Day 1

I open my eyes and it’s down again. The candlestick chart is so green it’s terrifying, and I don’t even dare log into my account, afraid that number will deal me another blow. So much for value investing and long-term conviction—it’s all turned into “long-term bagholding.” Every time my phone rings, my heart races, thinking it might be a liquidation alert. I used to laugh at people chasing pumps and panic-selling; now I don’t even dare open the app. In this market, forget holding on—even looking at it takes courage.
Honestly, how many people has this downturn turned from “diamond hands” into “

U.S. Threatens "Devastating" Retaliation if EU Restricts American Firms' Satellite Spectrum Access
The United States has threatened "devastating" retaliation if the European Union moves forward with restrictions on American companies' access to satellite spectrum, according to a statement released on October 19, 2026. The dispute centers on the EU's efforts to prioritize domestic satellite operators, such as those involved in the IRIS² constellation, for limited spectrum resources, potentially disadvantaging U.S. firms like SpaceX's Starlink. The U.S. warning marks a significant escalation in

An institution putting 473 million XRP on the table right out of the gate is worth a closer look. Evernorth started with holdings of around 473 million XRP and $300 million in cash, with a clearly stated purpose: lending, staking, providing liquidity, and operating validator nodes. This isn’t a short-term bet; it looks more like a long-term position in the system to serve as a liquidity and settlement tool. The underlying logic still comes down to legal status: a judge ruled that XRP is not a security, and Garlinghouse says the CLARITY Act being stalled in the Senate doesn’t change the clarity

Ethereum’s expected main battleground for October is the 2300–2500 range.
The market sees 2500 as the baseline expectation, but the probability of falling back to 2300 is also significant, with considerable disagreement between bulls and bears; a push to 2600 is a low-probability event that would require additional positive catalysts.
Compared with the short-term market for the 10.19 expiry, holding above 2300 in the short term is highly certain, but over the full October cycle, the risk of retesting 2300 is priced in, while a rally to 2600 appears difficult.

Tax reform helps promote the standardization of the crypto market
Latvia’s passage of amendments to its crypto-asset tax law reflects the trend of traditional tax systems proactively adapting to the development of the digital economy. As crypto assets such as Bitcoin gradually become part of investors’ asset allocations, applying traditional transaction-by-transaction taxation may increase investors’ reporting costs and fail to adequately accommodate a market characterized by frequent trading.
The new rules allow eligible crypto-asset investment accounts to use tax deferral: taxes are due when

Finally, buyers are starting to return. After heavy selling pressure, these three assets are showing signs of recovery. $SND : 1,323.29 (+5.01%)
$SPC : 147.29 (+1.70%)
$SKHYNIX : 937.60 (+4.49%) Buying near strong support after a sharp correction may offer better opportunities than chasing prices at the highs. But a single rally doesn’t confirm that the trend has fully reversed. We still need to see whether buyers can hold these gains. The best opportunities often come when everyone else is fearful. Would you buy this rebound or wait for another pullback?

The auto industry weathered this wave, but 13,000 jobs are gone, and $7 billion in tariff costs are still rising by the day. If the trade war drags on, workers will pay the price. How long can this situation last?
