$SAND Bottom line: Short-term bias is bullish, but this is a short squeeze driven by crowded shorts, not a trend reversal. Wait for a pullback confirmation before chasing higher.
The funding picture is the key factor right now. The funding rate is -0.1930%, making it extremely costly to hold short positions, while the price has risen 9.97% over 24h to 0.05978, indicating that shorts are being squeezed and funding is being pushed toward the long side. But beware: the MACD histogram remains negative at -0.00023, and the RSI is only 52.7, so momentum is unconfirmed; the range over 30 candles is a

Making a little bear—almost 2 hours and it’s still not done. At a rough glance, the interface looks inferior to SOL6.1 but better than LUNA. So this is the DEEPSEEK-V4.1-FLAH-1017 you were hyping? By the way, it has cost ¥3 so far

Too outrageous, $BTW has been pumped way too hard. Lee is preparing to short heavily, anticipating a potential downturn. $AGT Strongly short $Q 🥳🥳🥳

BREAKING: Meta's Muse Wonder and Muse Spark are now live on Venice, available privately. Venice also added NVIDIA's Nemotron 3.5 Super VL and Tencent's Hy4 Preview since October 15.

My friend shorted $AGT , $Q and $BTW today. All three. Same day.
His logic was solid: “It’s already up 65%. It can’t go higher.”
$AGT hit 0.1048 and kept going.
Then he said, “Okay, $Q is up 119%. That’s insane. Now THIS one has to dump.” It printed another green candle while he was typing the order.
By then he was angry, so he went for the third one: “$BTW is only up 34%, there’s still room for a clean short.” The chart made a new high and he made a new lesson.
The funny part is that Q’s funding was negative. Shorts were paying longs to stay in the trade. He literally paid a fee to be wrong

BTC down 0.62% in 24 hours, $31.89 million dumped in the final hour
Gate spot BTC/USDT is currently quoted at 81285.5 USDT, down 0.62% over 24 hours, with a high of 81818.4 and a low of 80817.0. That 0.62% is almost negligible on the daily chart, but the final hourly candle was different: it opened at 81647.1, plunged to a low of 80817.0, and closed at 81124.9, with 31.89 million USDT in single-hour trading volume—more than three times the previous hour’s roughly 8.71 million.
What concerns me more is whether this drop was backed by volume. Looking at the latest 48 hourly candles, the volume p

This chart pattern suggests a potential correction toward the 65,000–69,000 range, as it appears to be completing a 5-wave sequence. However, this chart setup could be deceptive; it is possible that the current structure is actually forming a 12345 sequence within a larger wave 3. This is why the price is currently stalling in this area, without yet establishing a clear direction. $BTC ‌

BTC at $81,303, ETH at $2,392, SOL at $103: Volume-price differences across three bearish candles
📊 Gate spot snapshot (October 17, 23:08 UTC): three bearish candles, but the declines are nowhere near the same magnitude: BTC -0.54%, ETH -1.33%, SOL -1.35%. BTC edged down, while ETH and SOL fell more than twice as much.
First, BTC. The current price is 81,303.2 USDT, with a 24-hour high of 81,791.5 and a low of 80,817.0. The day's range is less than 1.2%, with a trading volume of 233 million USDT. The price is hovering in a narrow range just above 81,000, and the 80,817 low has not been breach

#美国9月PPI大超预期
My 83626 short, current price 81382.4, with a large unrealized profit. 82057 will determine direction.
Market: The 4H chart pulled back from 84340, bounced weakly after bottoming at 79732.3, and is now at 81382.4 (down 0.21% over 24h). MA5 (81277.8) and MA10 (81367.6) are intertwined near the current price, while MA30 (82057.7) continues to trend down and cap price. The overall bearish trend continues, with weak, choppy trading.
P&L calculation: 83626 - 81382.4 = a 2243.6-point price difference; the large unrealized profit continues to grow.
Key levels: Support 80751/79732, resis

I think the current crypto market is in the early recovery phase after the cycle low, currently pulling back and waiting for secondary confirmation:
• BTC at around $81,500, down about 35% from its October 2025 ATH of $126,000
• This cycle’s low was around $58,000 in June-July 2026 (a drawdown of about 54%, relatively shallow historically)
• Q3 total market cap rose 39.6% to nearly $3T, with ETFs returning to net inflows
• Fear & Greed Index at around 53 (neutral)
• BTC dominance at around 59-60%
Institutional consensus: the bear market is over, and the market is transitioning from acc

At 5 a.m., Ethereum saw another sharp wick down, mainly as Brent crude broke above $106 in after-hours trading, up more than 4% intraday
Combined with the U.S. September CPI annual rate accelerating to 3.7%, markets repriced the rate-hike path and risk appetite contracted; continued net outflows from spot ETFs and declining exchange reserves amplified the drop, leaving the short-term outlook weak.

After going through forty-eight candles, there’s one I’m not comfortable fast-forwarding through.
A wick spike.
The 05:00 candle plunged to 1214.16, while the previous one was still above 1297.
Volume picked up: 1.17 million in a single hour, compared with just 35,000 in the previous one.
It rebounded to 1269.44 over the next three hours, but has now slid back to 1257.97.
The peak at 1408.95 was reached at 13:00 on 10-16; after that, each high kept moving lower.
$SNDK In forty hours, it went from 1408.95 to 1214.16, a drop of 13.8%.
As usual: a low formed on heavy volume only counts if it hold

$USD1 has reached 1.0003USDT, but hourly trading participation is only 0.30x, making the move look somewhat weak. The price has moved, but volume has not followed. In this situation, focusing only on candlestick colors can easily lead you to overestimate the move’s staying power. The price has already broken above the 1-hour support at 1.0001, while the 1-hour resistance at 1.0004 still lies ahead. This looks more like a tentative breakout than the start of a genuine trend.
If 1.0004 is actually broken, the credibility of this rally will improve significantly. But low participation currently u
