Good morning, everyone. Although the broader market was still mainly range-bound and volatile last weekend, quite a few altcoins have already begun to rebound.
Last week, I also kept asking everyone to pay more attention to major altcoins that had not truly started moving yet. Judging from their performance over the past two days, more and more altcoins are indeed starting to catch up, which also makes me feel that the market is showing signs that “altseason is coming.”
Whether the altcoin market can continue from here still depends largely on whether BTC can hold around $80,000.

XAU Analysis
From the chart structure, gold’s short-term double strong support is firmly established at 4330 and 4300.
4330 is the first short-term defensive support and a key level where prices have repeatedly bottomed and rebounded recently, making it a dense long accumulation zone; below that, the round-number level of 4300 is the ultimate strong support. Multiple dips below it have been quickly recovered, forming a typical bear-trap shakeout structure, with downside space completely locked.
All short-term pullbacks are technical retracements to build momentum, while bearish momentum contin

ETF Demand Is Breaking Records. $BTC Is Riding the Same Wave
"ETFs have now surpassed last year's record flows of $1.5T with 3.5mo to spare," said Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas.
Additionally, he put the scale in perspective: about 20 years ago, $100B in annual ETF flows counted as a strong year (image below). Now the industry is taking in more than that in a typical month...
Crypto is increasingly part of that same distribution machine. On Friday alone:
- BTC ETFs: +$433.0M
- ETH ETFs: +$143.8M
- SOL ETFs: +$47.6M
- $ZEC ETFs: +$37.7M
And Zcash is the one I find especially interesting. Its spot E

Insiders are calling this the quiet short setup of the year for SYMBOL.

$LAB /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.05279 – 0.05337
SL: 0.05586
TP1: 0.05099
TP2: 0.04960
TP3: 0.04751

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bearish with 95% confidence, setting a high-probability stage for downside. The 1h ATR of 0.00116 shows enough volatility to reach targets quickly once price moves. Entry is defined between 0.05279 and 0.05337, with 0.05308 as the reference point for precision. The 15m RSI at 56.0 signals neutral momentum, allowing a clean short entry without chasing. The plan targets

If I hadn’t looked closely, I would have thought it was elementary school classmates cursing at each other.🤣

Nobody is talking about the SOL setup hiding in plain sight right now.

$SOL /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 111.59 – 112.19
SL: 109.05
TP1: 114.02
TP2: 115.45
TP3: 117.58

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bullish while the 1h price sits at 111.89, giving us a clean entry window between 111.59 and 112.19. The 15m RSI at 54.74 shows room to run before overbought, and the 1h ATR of 1.185001 tells us volatility is just enough to reach targets without a violent squeeze. TP1 at 114.02 and TP2 at 115.45 define the first two profit zones, while the invalidation level at 104.46 is the h

#GarrettJinHolds320MInZEC
Garrett Jin’s ZEC position is a lot more interesting than a simple “whale is shorting ZEC” headline.
The records he shared show roughly 202,080 ZEC still held in spot, worth around $320M at the reported price. At the same time, his Hyperliquid position is a short of about 38,000 ZEC, worth roughly $60M. The short is currently carrying a large unrealized loss.
But look at the structure.
Around 202K ZEC spot versus roughly 38K ZEC short.
That means the short represents only a portion of his overall ZEC exposure. If the purpose is hedging, the logic is very different fr

After $AVAX came under Wall Street’s watch, it is currently undergoing a weekly-level rebound and has already doubled from its bottom. Based on previous ecosystem rotation rallies, $JOE should also move closely with an AXAV pump, and even more strongly. This is similar to how RAY follows when SOL pumps. The market probably still lacks sufficient capital, and JOE’s trading volume has only just started to pick up. Stay patient and wait a little longer.

Watching the market nonstop got annoying; once I turned it off, I could actually see things more clearly, and with my eyes off the screen, my heart stopped panicking.

During the intraday bottoming, $PTB held its level, and funds quietly entered. I only suggested testing with a small position, not chasing.

Later, it rose from 0.0008910 to 0.0012944, +1114.34%. This move was perfectly timed—not all that waiting was in vain.

For a token you're not confident in, taking a look is clear-headed, but buying one lot is foolish. Staying out of the market is no sin; opening positions recklessly is

#EthereumSpotETFsSee144MNetInflow #GateSquareMidAutumnReunion
Yes, the $144 million capital inflow signals a significant bullish trend regarding the demand outlook for ETH. On September 18, US spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of approximately $143.8 million; of this, $114.3 million—roughly 80% of the day's total—came from BlackRock's ETHA fund.
Here are the factors I will be monitoring moving forward:
* Sustainability: A single strong day is not as significant as steady inflows sustained over weeks. Current data shows net inflows of approximately $1.27 billion over the past 30 days.
