Bitcoin trades just below $83k after a mid-week slide briefly undid the September breakout. Perpetual traders and ETF holders led the selling, while new capital kept arriving on-chain and profitability stays stretched.

SALESFORCE JUST GOT A RARE DOUBLE UPGRADE
Today, Bank of America flipped Salesforce from Underperform straight to Buy. That's a double upgrade, which you almost never see from a big bank.
BofA analyst Tal Liani. He also raised his price target from $160 to $285, about 24% above Friday's close of $229.13.
Liani was a bear because he feared AI agents would cut Salesforce out of enterprise software. After talking to CIOs, he changed his mind. Big companies won't rip out the platforms that hold their data, workflows and compliance. His words: "AI should deepen dependence on these platforms." He al

A few days ago, I attended Ondo’s Open Interest event in Singapore, which as always invited big names @fundstrat
They also invited Franklin Templeton, SBI, Siam Commercial Bank, and others to discuss how institutional capital can enter the blockchain
That day, they held a special Chinese AMA. On stage were Ondo’s Head of Business Development, Head of DeFi Matt @fullportmatt, and APAC Director Renia @rrah622. They looked like foreigners speaking halting Chinese to answer us, which shows how much they value us

Today’s market was just like the saying: “When the mountain rain is about to come, the wind fills the tower; after all the rises and falls, everything eventually settles.”
The afternoon surge ignited the bulls’ hopes, but the evening retreat left those chasing the rally stranded halfway. Some chased at the sight of a bullish candle, while others shorted at the sight of a breakdown, unaware that the market’s favorite trick in a range is repeatedly luring in both bulls and bears. A breakout without volume support will ultimately struggle to gain momentum; opening a position without a logical bas

$BASED Down 14% in one day, the current price of 0.0592 is right at the 24h low of 0.0590. The 4.7M trading volume shows that some traders are cutting losses while others are catching the falling knife.
3 bullish points: 1) 0.059 is the 24h hard floor; as long as it holds, a double-bottom setup is possible 2) 4.7M in trading volume is not small, so liquidity is still there—it is not a dead market 3) After falling 14%, it is oversold in the short term, making the risk-reward ratio for a rebound favorable.
3 bearish points: 1) It plunged from 0.069 to 0.059, with each rebound weaker than the las

$W Current price is 0.02414, with the first resistance at 0.0251 (MA5), the second resistance at 0.0259 (MA20), and support at 0.0192 (lower Bollinger Band).
Technically, W surged 36.93% over 24h and has entered high-level consolidation, but the moving-average structure remains bearish—MA5=0.025096 is below MA20=0.025918, and the short-term moving average has failed to cross above the medium-term moving average, indicating that this rally has not yet reversed the medium-term trend. The MACD histogram at -0.0007294 remains bearish, with momentum yet to turn positive. RSI=48.6 is in the neutral-

$ETH , Only interested in long if we can flip the 2560 into support again which would align nicely with reclaiming the 4h trend.
If not lower POI for me is $2110

10.12 Recap and Early-Morning Trading Recommendations:
The choppy market tests one's resolve, and the bull market rewards the patient. Good early morning, this is Muhan, who leads live-account compounding. There is no need to envy others' occasional big wins. Long-term survival in the crypto market has never been about explosive power, but about risk control and patience. Only by enduring pullbacks can you hold on to the gains. Muhan remained firmly bullish intraday, taking Bitcoin long at 833 in the live account and capturing a 1,000-point move, while the ETH long at 2510 gained more than 60

After Korean stocks plunged, I choose to watch rather than buy first: Bottom-fishing is not about having more courage, but whether the conditions are right
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix led the decline, sending Korean stocks sharply lower, while investors’ emotions felt like riding a roller coaster without a seat belt. Some believe a major plunge creates a golden opportunity, while others worry the market has not yet bottomed. Both views have merit, but I care more about one question: Do we have sufficient grounds to determine whether this correction is nearing its end?
