$AAVE Here we go again. Seriously, again.
It always drops more decisively than it rises. This whole week hasn’t given anyone a chance to catch their breath. Someone in the group asked me this morning if I was done for. I said, “You’re asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? If I knew, would I still be sitting here watching the charts?”
These damn market makers have really gotten the hang of this routine: first they draw you a nice-looking chart, then once you’ve got your position comfortably set, they press it down one candle at a time until you start wondering if you read the candles wrong. $AAV

The most unusual detail in today’s market is that $QNT
fell 4.52%, while the funding rate plunged to -0.0063%. Falling prices and a negative funding rate mean that shorts are actively paying to hold their positions, while the current price of 194.35 is still above the Bollinger lower band at 191.625. This is not the pattern of a one-way collapse; it looks more like fuel building up as shorts become crowded. MA5=194.452 is now close to the current price, while MA20=196.936 forms the first resistance above. RSI=37.7 is approaching oversold territory, and although the MACD histogram at -0.09494

$AVAAI A brutal one-day shakeout: 0.0071, down 18.59% in 24 hours, with 15.9M in trading volume. The price has already touched a low of 0.0070—this isn’t an ordinary pullback; liquidity is drying up.
Last night’s Fed minutes were somewhat hawkish, the U.S. Dollar Index strengthened, and risk assets came under broad pressure. The correlation between BTC and altcoins has clearly increased in recent days, leaving small-cap assets like AVAAI bearing the brunt. The fund flows are clear: those who chased in at higher levels are cutting losses, buy orders on the order book are thin, and the rebound l

At Nvidia’s current level, I’m bearish again 🤣
There’s been plenty of discussion on X about the AI bubble and whether investments in computing power can actually pay off
Nvidia’s fundamentals are indeed strong, but the higher the stock price climbs, the higher market expectations get. Any slight miss in earnings or returns on AI investments could give investors a reason to take profits
At Nvidia’s current level, I don’t want to use too much leverage. Being bearish is one thing, but being able to withstand a market rebound is another
My approach is simple: first, see whether there’s an opportu

AI perps plummeted yesterday on what people are calling "Black Saturday".
In crypto we call it Tuesday.

Blue: buying what will surely go up?
Red: seeking 20x with high risk?
Which one are you?

Leveraged $ETH buyers lost $42.7M to forced closures on Oct 17, more than any other coin. Longs took 77.2% of the $249.1M our streams recorded that day, which still came in under the past week's average.

ETH at $2,420—can you still hold on?
$320 million in ETF outflows in a week, BlackRock leading the sell-off, and longs just had tens of millions liquidated—but while everyone was shouting “ETH is going to zero,” $2,400 held firm. Is this institutions unloading, or market makers using ETF data to shake out weak hands?
First, the surface picture: money is flowing out, but the price hasn’t collapsed.
ETH is currently at $2,408–$2,420, down 0.6%–1% over 24 hours, sliding from $2,700–$2,800 in early October. ETFs saw net outflows of $320 million over the past week, including $69.7 million in a sing

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%

bitcoin:native is sitting between two major liquidity zones.
Buy orders are concentrated around $76K–$81K, while sellers remain stacked across $84K–$90K.
Repeated tests of $80K suggest demand is active, but absorbing supply isn't the same as reclaiming resistance.
The real shift comes if buyers start clearing those overhead sell walls. Until then, rallies remain vulnerable to rejection.

10.18 BTC Long-Short Ratio Analysis: Retail Traders Bullish, Large Holders Bearish, Divergence Structure
A. Retail ratio currently stands at 0.5187, with the curve rising, suggesting a wait-and-see stance with a bullish bias.
B. Large holders’ long-short ratio: 0.83, with the curve falling, suggesting a wait-and-see stance with a bearish bias.
Summary: “Divergence structure.” The weak rebound driven by retail traders buying the dip has no follow-through from large holders’ funds, so it is bound to be “short-lived.”
