BREAKING: flips Uniswap V4 in 24h fees, $1.9M versus $1.7M.

$TRX TRX at End of Multi-Year Correction, Could go to $55+
TRX has spent months in an extremely tight range within what I’m counting as wave-e of E. My volatility-compression indicator is showing extreme, persistent readings, with the current stretch approaching its historical duration record.
I’ve labeled the potential 2018–2026 correction as a triangle, although other interpretations remain possible. The more immediate focus is the contracting structure developing from the 2024 high. If this triangle is completing, the count favors an upward thrust.
The bigger question is what that triangle

MSX Completes Dividend Distribution for Five U.S. Equity Tokens, Including LRCX and SUI, on October 14-16
MSX has completed the dividend distribution for five U.S. equity tokens, including LRCX and SUI, between October 14 and 16, 2026, according to an announcement from the platform. The distribution of dividends for tokenized equities represents a significant development in the tokenization of traditional financial assets, as it demonstrates that blockchain-based tokens can replicate the economic rights of traditional shares, including dividend payments. SUI gained 1.51%, while OXY fell 0.61%,

10.16 $BTC Analysis
The current rebound in BTC from the low of 79732 is essentially a “dead-cat bounce” and defensive reaction following the concentrated release of macroeconomic headwinds. The overall market structure remains extremely fragile, and the bearish trend has not undergone any meaningful reversal.
Macro pressure: Risk assets broadly under pressure
Both US CPI and PPI data came in above expectations, sending the probability of a Fed rate hike in October soaring to 49%, while US Treasury yields hit a 24-year high. Global risk appetite has contracted sharply, with the 7.5% plunge in

#USSeptemberPPIBeatsExpectations September PPI Came in Hot, and Markets Looked Past It: My Full Take on What Comes Next
US wholesale inflation came in much hotter than economists expected. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Producer Price Index rose 1.3% month over month in September, well above the roughly 0.5% to 0.6% forecast. On an annual basis, PPI climbed 6.3%, against expectations of about 5.3% to 5.5%. That is the fastest annual pace since late 2022 and the biggest monthly jump since March 2022. Core PPI, which strips out food and energy, rose 0.7% on the month and 5% fro

Ten days before WCTC S9 starts, most of the chatter is about the 6M headline. I spent today on the parts nobody is talking about: where the money sits, what the warm-up actually pays, and which parts guarantee something versus which are just a chance.
1. Where the 6M actually sits
The maxima add up exactly (my arithmetic): team 3.2M, solo 0.4M, BTC/USDT event-contract PK 0.4M, Lucky Launchpad 0.725M, a 1M side-event carnival and a 0.275M fixed bonus. That’s about 53% team, 7% solo, 7% PK, 12% Launchpad, 17% carnival and 5% fixed. Only the first three, 4.0M

Hi lawyers!
Just conducting some business transactions 👀

Based on the BTC 4h, 1h, and 15m charts below, we can draw the following conclusions
4h remains bearish but is rebounding; 1h momentum is weakening; 15m is range-bound with a bearish bias. In the short term, watch for a retest of support; if it holds, a rebound could be worth playing. If price rallies to 82,500-83,400 and meets resistance, it may pull back.
Long/short strength ranking:
4h rebound momentum > 1h weakening momentum > 15m range-bound with a bearish bias.
For now, consider prioritizing short positions to guard against a spike higher.
What do you all think?
