$SOXS SHORT SETUP — SELLERS ARE STEPPING IN! 📉🔥
Entry: 50.00 – 50.30 (Short)
SL: 51.40
TP1: 49.40
TP2: 48.70
TP3: 47.80
$SOXS is losing momentum after a sharp rally toward 53.39. The 1H chart shows lower highs and weakening buying pressure.
A confirmed break below 49.80 could open the door for further downside.

A flat Bitcoin is hiding lopsided trading underneath. $BTC moved +0.03% in the 24 hours to Oct 18, but our gauge of one sided buying and selling reached the 93rd percentile of the past 90 days, above the line our desk flags.

Weekly chart turns bearish—can Bitcoin and Ethereum still push higher in the short term?
A brief look at the outlook: will Trump’s midterm election be a positive catalyst, or will we keep gapping down?
CPI and PPI data came in well above expectations. After BTC’s deep dip and wick, it rallied back up. Support in the bearish range failed to hold. Whether the mid-term market can stabilize and push higher depends on the Fed’s next moves, as well as the odds of liquidity sweeping both longs and shorts!
The Fed is about to enter its blackout period ahead of the October 27–28 policy meeting, with po

ETH Technical Outlook: Ethereum Drops to $2.41K as Selling Pressure Intensifies
ETH is currently trading around $2,413.39, facing renewed selling pressure after being rejected from the $2,476–$2,503 resistance region.
The latest pullback has pushed ETH below the 20 EMA and 50 EMA, while price is testing the area around the 100 EMA near $2,358.73 and the 200 EMA near $2,313.08. RSI has dropped to 38.40, showing weak momentum as sellers maintain short-term control.
The recent recovery structure is under pressure. Buyers need to defend the current support zone and reclaim nearby resistance to pre

This put pressure on altcoins, with a potential short-term correction ahead.

$SOL This morning I talked about its stablecoin transfer count. Now the market has offered another clue: volume is down to just half its usual level. That’s interesting—the story is growing (557 million transfers in September, 30% more than in August), while trading volume is falling. In plain English: more people are using it, and fewer are trading it. The liquidation heatmap above 105 is densely packed, and the easiest move for big players would be to spike the price upward—but a spike is just a spike. Think about it: when a coin is getting busier on-chain while its market action is getting

$STRK After this 12% dump, I’m betting it’ll hit 0.060 within 24 hours. Dare to follow? It’s currently at 0.0630, and the 24-hour low has already hit 0.0621. Trading volume of 138M shows panic selling is picking up—not a slow decline on shrinking volume. People are genuinely cutting their positions. The chart shows trapped holders all above 0.065; every bounce to 0.0645 gets sold, and there’s no sign of buyers stepping in. My plan: don’t chase a short at the current price. Wait for a rebound into the 0.0648–0.0652 range, then short with a small position. Stop loss at 0.0670, take profit at 0.0

Recently, investors holding tech stocks have had remarkably similar experiences: unrealized losses in their accounts keep growing. At first, they can still firmly believe in the industry’s long-term prospects, but as prices keep falling, their confidence starts to waver.
Seeing a screen full of bearish opinions, they can’t help repeatedly asking themselves: Is the AI story already over? Has the main trend of this cycle completely ended? When people are suffer

With oil nearing $110, crypto traders also need to keep a close eye on this strait
Over the weekend, it looked like news about tankers. By Monday, it could affect everyone’s positions.
On October 17, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz. However, the claims have not yet been independently confirmed, so the specific losses cannot be treated as definitive.
As for prices, on the latest trading day—October 16—Brent crude closed at $109.86, up 3.7% for the day; WTI closed at $101.41, up 3.5%. For the week, they rose 4.9%

$ARIA This 14-point rally has me a bit nervous—0.0453 is overhead, and 8M in volume isn’t enough to support a breakout pattern at a comparable market cap to those after the first three halvings. Looking back at the historical record: after the 2016 halving, small-cap altcoins averaged a 22% range in the first week and only made their main move after pulling back to the 5-day moving average; the 2020 cycle was even more brutal, with a wick on day 3 after the halving flushing out leverage before the rally. ARIA is now stuck at 0.0432, with a 24h range of 20.5%. It’s 70% similar to the test candl

BNB strategy
Near resistance at 722‑723, prioritize shorting first.
Only chase longs after a breakout on increased volume, or wait for a pullback to 722‑723 before going long.
Support below is at 711‑713; consider opening a long position at this level.
If support breaks, chase shorts, or wait for a rebound before shorting.
