The weekend is here, and the market is still grinding
Just now according to the CoinGlass data, over the past 24 hours about 433.6 million has been liquidated, with longs absorbing roughly 74%; after that, BTC (big pie) was smashed down from around 87,200 back to around 84,600 and is currently pinned there. Ethereum is about 2,685
But no need to panic. The first wave of long leverage has already been flushed once; now it’s more like a weekend low-volume grind in a box range, not a one-way breakdown
BTC might also just grind between 83,800 and 85,000 for a bit
With weekend volume thin, if the rebound reaches 86,000 to 86,500, that’s likely where people start dumping
For friends who hold long positions: when it rebounds to 86,000 to 86,500, reduce part of the position first. 83,800 is still the lifeline for this round—if it breaks, then at first just go soft
If you’re not in a position, don’t borrow money to chase the top just because it’s the weekend acting up; wait until Monday’s open and the Oct 7 Fed minutes to discuss the timing
Next confirmation to watch: whether it can hold above 85,000, and whether yields hold steady before the Oct 14 inflation data

Canary just filed an S-1 amendment for its PEPE spot ETF!

The amendment filing is effective for submission, but that doesn’t mean it can be sold yet.

First, let’s nail down the objective data. Crypto Times and Lookonchain are aligned on this: on October 2 in the U.S. Eastern time, Canary submitted Pre-Effective Amendment No.1 for the Canary PEPE ETF to the SEC. The original S-1 was filed on April 8 this year. The plan is to list on Cboe BZX, priced off CoinDesk’s PEPE benchmark, with custody handled via BitGo. The registration statement hasn’t become effective yet, let alone any approval to start trading.

Market reaction has been rather lukewarm. Coinbase spot price is around 0.00000429, with a daily high of about 0.00000453 and a daily low of about 0.00000408. OKX is roughly 0.00000428; compared to the day’s open it’s down about 5.4%. BTC is around 84,650, and ETH is around 2,685. The news pushes the process forward, but the spot market is still weak along with the broader market. That suggests traders are pricing with risk preference first—deleveraging—rather than “igniting” the ETF narrative.

My take: both the amendment landing and the spot’s weakness are true. The trading timeline hasn’t been stamped yet. This feels more like completing the April filing than evidence that institutional money has already entered.

To friends holding PEPE long positions: if the rebound reaches 0.00000450 to 0.00000460, reduce some of your sentiment exposure first. If it’s in the 0.00000410 to 0.00000420 range, you can still hold and watch for support. If it gets pushed back to 0.00000400, the rhythm is considered soft. For those with no position, don’t chase the top just because of an ETF headline—wait to see whether the S-1 is further advanced and whether spot can reclaim and hold above 0.00000450 before acting.

Next validation checkpoint: whether the SEC declares the registration statement effective, and whether spot can reclaim 0.00000450 and hold it. Only when effectiveness and stability above 0.00000450 are confirmed does the “second wave” count.

Just now Blast officially announced the shutdown of L2. The BLAST token promptly dropped by more than 40%, and Ethereum followed by softening as well.
But no need to panic—on-chain TVL has already shrunk from over two billion to just over thirty million, so the impact on Ethereum itself is limited.
ETH may just grind around the 2650 area.
Later, the weekend market will be thin. It’s likely that a rebound to 2720–2750 will attract some people to sell/realize profits.
For friends holding long positions in ETH: on a rebound to 2720–2750, reduce part of your position first; around 2650 you can still hold and watch for support/absorption.
If you lose 2600, the rhythm will be considered weak.
For friends with BLAST positions: watch the withdrawal window until October 26—don’t drag it out to the point where you only have the option to exit via a bridge contract and panic.
With thin volume over the weekend, it’s more important to track withdrawal progress than to focus on slogans.

SUI unlocks about 23.38 million tokens today, roughly 0.2% of the total supply. By market-cap terms it’s around 0.6%, and at the current price that’s just on the order of a few tens of millions of dollars.

The unlock and settlement has happened, but that doesn’t mean it’s automatically going to take off just because it’s already “landed” and not yet fully digested.

First, pin down the objective data. CryptoDaily and CMC use the same reference: on October 3, this batch of about 23.38 million is a routine daily allocation/vesting release—not a sudden issuance. The next calendar catalyst is Basecamp in Singapore on Oct 7–8.

The tape: it spikes up first, then pulls back. On Binance.us, the current price is about 1.157, down about 2.2% over 24 hours; the intraday high is around 1.215 and the low around 1.106. On Coinbase, the current price is about 1.156, with a similar intraday high around 1.215.

BTC is roughly 84,650, and ETH is around 2,684. It pushed up toward 1.20 briefly, then slid back to hover around 1.15–1.16. That suggests the first wave of bids was able to catch it, but the resistance zone hasn’t yet flipped into support.

My take: both things are true—the unlock numbers and the high-and-retrace. But the trend confirmation hasn’t been officially stamped yet. The amount isn’t especially large, but weekend liquidity is thin. The market is pricing the supply’s digestion first, rather than “pre-firing” based on anything before the event.

For friends holding SUI longs: if it rebounds into 1.18 to 1.21, reduce a bit of the emotional positioning; if it stays in the 1.14 to 1.16 range, you can still hold and watch for continuation. If it gets thrown back down to 1.10, then the momentum is considered soft. If you’re not in a position, don’t chase the peak just because of the unlock headline—wait to see whether spot can be reclaimed and hold above 1.18 before acting.

Next validation point to watch: before the weekend to Basecamp, can it hold steady in the 1.16 to 1.18 zone, and will the conference actually deliver tangible positive catalysts? Only when it holds 1.18 and reclaims 1.20 does it count as the second push.

US spot big pancake ETF just turned slightly negative; on Oct 1, total net inflows were about 102.7 million. Even IBIT alone took in about 195.6 million
The day before, it had just seen outflows of about 149 million; BlackRock pulled the total back again
But the market isn’t cooperating: BTC got sold back from around 87,200 to the 84,600 area and is just lying there, and on the ETH side the ETF has still been withdrawing for three straight days, with another outflow of about 55.37 million
A return to net inflows doesn’t mean the market can just “take off” over the weekend—institutional buying and thin weekend liquidity are two different things
If you have longs, friends: on the rebound to 86,000–86,500, cut some exposure first. Don’t chase higher just because of an ETF headline
84,800 is still the lifeline for this leg—if it’s lost, go soft first; if you don’t have a position, wait until it holds above 85,000 before talking about the timing
Weekend volume is thin; watch whether the ETF can keep recording inflows in the next trading day—more important than slogans

US spot ZEC ETF saw another net outflow of about $26.93 million yesterday. Grayscale’s ZCSH accounted for the draw.

A single day’s large outflow does not mean the privacy-coin narrative is over once and for all.

First, nail down the objective data. Using PANews’ figures based on the SoSoValue methodology, as of October 2 in US Eastern Time, the total net outflow for ZEC spot ETFs was about $26.9347 million. After the outflow, the historical cumulative net inflow is still around $213 million; net assets of the product are about $751 million, with ZEC accounting for roughly 3.46%. Looking a bit further back, on September 30 there was about a $30.25 million outflow, and on October 1 about a $28.26 million outflow—this has been three consecutive days of withdrawals, not an isolated one-day event.

The market reaction has been harsher. ZEC’s current price on Binance.us is roughly 1322, down about 4.6% over 24 hours; the day’s high tested around 1410, while the day’s low hovered around 1272. On Coinbase, the current price is roughly 1319, with the day’s low around 1269. In the same period, BTC is about 84660 and only down around 1.6%. Money is being pulled, and ZEC is clearly weaker relative to BTC. That suggests the market is de-leveraging based on sentiment first, not pricing as if everyone is being fully liquidated and “stamped” in a clean-out sell.

My view: both the consecutive “withdrawal” pattern and the relative weakness are holding true; the narrative hasn’t been formally stamped dead yet. More like unwinding the crowded positions after the September peak, not an instant zeroing of the privacy track.

For friends holding ZEC longs: if it rebounds to 1380–1420, trim a bit of your sentiment position first. If it’s 1260–1280, you can still hold and watch for follow-through. If it gets pushed back down to 1200, then the rhythm is effectively soft again. If you have no position, don’t borrow to chase shorts just because of the selloff, and don’t blindly bottom-pick either—wait to see whether today’s ETF net subscriptions can stop the bleeding, and whether spot can reclaim and hold above 1350 before acting.

Watch the next confirmation point: whether today ZCSH continues to have net outflows, and whether spot can reclaim 1350 and hold. Only when the outflow tapers off and 1350 is held can the “second round” be considered to have landed.

Just a moment: the SEC has approved the listing rules for that batch of 3x Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs from Volatility Shares; gold, silver, crude oil, and natural gas all got the green light as well.
Many people think leveraged products will be available for purchase right away, and that spot trading will “take off” as soon as possible—hold on a second.

First, let’s nail down the objective facts. According to CryptoBriefing, on October 2 in the U.S., the SEC cleared VS Trust’s six 3x ETPs under Release 34-106577. The crypto pair is 3x Bitcoin and 3x Ether. The underlying exposure uses CME futures, with daily resets. Bloomberg ETF analyst Balchunas also confirmed on X that this is a milestone. ChainCatcher reposted the same update this morning.
But the key takeaway is this: approval of listing rules doesn’t equal “available for trading.” You still have to wait for the Form S-1 registration to become effective; the official timeline hasn’t provided any trading date.

Market reaction looks rather muted. On Binance.US, the current BTC price is around 84,560; the day’s high touched about 87,200, and the day’s low was around 83,900; over 24 hours it’s down roughly 2.3%. ETH is around 2,674, down about 2.4%. Fear & Greed is 67 and still in the “Greed” zone. Even though the rule was a positive development, the price didn’t immediately break back above 86,000 in one go—suggesting the market priced in “approved but not yet buyable,” not “ignite and rally on the spot.”

My view: the U.S. 3x BTC/ETH ETP rule approval is a valid milestone; spot hasn’t really taken off yet—it hasn’t had the final stamp. With daily resets and futures roll/term-loss effects, this product is naturally better suited for short-term swings rather than serving as fuel for a sustained trend.

For anyone holding longs: if the rebound reaches 86,000 to 86,500, cut a bit of emotional exposure first. 83,800 is still this round’s life-or-death line—lose your rhythm, and it can turn soft. If you don’t have a position, don’t chase the spike just because of regulatory good news; wait until the S-1 effective date and until spot can reclaim and hold above 85,000.

Watch the next validation point: when exactly the S-1 becomes effective, and whether BTC reclaims 85,000 and holds it. Only after the effective date lands and it holds above 85,000 can this be considered the “second round” confirmation.

About $1.30 million net inflow into the U.S. spot SOL ETF yesterday—after the roughly $1.10 million net outflow from the day before, it has been clawed back.

A return does not mean acceleration has already been confirmed.

First, pin down the objective data. According to the SoSoValue methodology (as of the Oct 3 early-morning update by ChainCatcher), on the U.S. East time Oct 2, the combined net inflow for U.S. SOL spot ETFs totaled about $1.3011 million. Nearly all of it came from Bitwise’s BSOL alone; for VSOL, FSOL, TSOL, SOEZ, MSOL, and GSOL, net inflow was zero for that day. TokenPost using the same reference also noted: the prior trading day saw total net outflow of about $1.10 million; over the most recent five trading days, total net inflow was only about $0.80 million. Cumulatively, net inflow is about $1.608 billion, and the products’ net assets are roughly $1.905 billion.

Price action looks rather cool. Binance.us spot SOL is around 119.40, down about 1.6% over 24 hours; intraday high around 123.68 and low around 117.17. Coinbase spot is around 119.38, with a low around 117.07. For comparison, BTC is roughly 84,700 and ETH is around 2,680. The ETF numbers have turned green, but the spot price hasn’t been pushed back above 120 in one go. This suggests the market is patching the pricing with reduced volume first, not firing the second leg based on a breakout-style pricing move.

My take: both the single-day rebound backflow and the fact that only BSOL was the sole net buyer are true. The trend acceleration hasn’t been stamped yet. With the money too concentrated and the five-day total too thin, it looks more like replenishing the earlier outflow rather than a broad reopening of risk appetite.

For friends holding SOL long positions: if the rebound reaches 122 to 124, cut a bit of your sentiment-driven position first. From 116 to 118, you can still hold and watch for follow-through. If it gets thrown back down below 114.5, then the pace is considered soft.

If you don’t have a position, don’t borrow the ETF’s turn back to green to chase the highs. Wait to see whether today’s net subscriptions can keep coming in consecutively, and whether spot can reclaim and hold above 120—then you can act.

Next validation point to watch: whether today’s SOL ETF continues to record net inflows, and whether spot has reclaimed 120 and holds it firmly. Only after both occur—net inflows continue and it holds above 120—can we say the “second pulse” has landed.

$SOL $BTC $ETH

Nonfarm employment exploded—only adding 29k, far below the expected around 90k. The unemployment rate was also pushed up to 4.2%
The first move: BTC surged straight to around 87,200. A lot of people thought easy money was coming.
But the second move was harsher: the 10-year US Treasury yield was lifted back from the low near 5.16 to around 5.27 again. BTC was then smashed back to the 84,600 area overnight.
Just because “soft employment” is in place doesn’t mean the trend has been confirmed. Financing costs haven’t really loosened yet.
If you have long positions: on the rebound to 86,000–86,500, trim some first. Don’t treat the first move as the trend.
The 83,800 level is still the life-or-death line for this round. If it breaks, go soft first—wait until the 10Y stabilizes before talking about an advance.
Next, keep an eye on yields and the next inflation data. Timing matters more than direction.

The Non-Farm payrolls are about half an hour from landing, and the big pie is still grinding around 86,400.
But don’t panic: in the half-hour window, don’t fully load your position. First, wait for the first move in the data and the second move in U.S. Treasury yields to line up.

First, anchor the objective expectations. Consensus is roughly new jobs of about 90k, unemployment rate 4.1%, and the hourly wage m/m at 0.3%. Last month was that hard number around 162k.
According to the FXStreet read: above 100k easily lifts October hike expectations again; below 50k could only be what really smashes the dollar. Everything in between is more noise.
Binance.us at the current price: big pie around 86,450; it tagged the day high near 86,890; up about 3% over 24 hours. Ether is around 2,748. The 10-year yield is still around 5.24, and the DXY is about 102. Fear & Greed is 72—still in the greed zone.

The market action is pretty straightforward. The first shot is the data shock; the second shot is about whether yields and the dollar re-take higher. Just because the high gets tagged doesn’t mean Non-Farm is passed. Half an hour ago is only waiting for the verification node.

My take: this move looks more like the pricing-in before the night, not a trend confirmation. Only hard data changes the second leg.

For friends holding longs: around 86,500 to 87,000, don’t add leverage chasing the very last jump. First, trim the emotional exposure a bit. If you’re still in from around 85,200 to 85,600, you can hold and watch for support/continuation. If it gets pushed back down to 83,800 again, then tonight’s rhythm is effectively soft. If you have no position, don’t use the half-hour window to bet on direction—wait until actual vs. forecast and the 10-year reaction line up, then act.

If it stays hard, watch whether the dollar and the long end yield re-take higher; if it softens, then we can talk about whether there’s a second leg higher. Let’s see after the data prints—then we’ll talk.

About 3.8 million USDT stolen from NEAR Intents; the team issues a 48-hour final warning.
The compensation promise is valid—but it doesn’t mean the trend has already been fixed.

First, nail down the objective data. According to CoinTelegraph (Oct 2), NEAR Intents suspended service on Thursday due to an Omni withdrawal and contract interaction vulnerability. An initial investigation put user funds stolen at about $3.8 million. The team promised full compensation and said the vulnerability had been patched. On Friday, CEO Alex Shevchenko posted that the attacker’s identity had been identified, offering a 48-hour window for responsible disclosure, and would shut things down if the deadline passed. ZachXBT said the funds were moved to KuCoin and then bridged to Bitcoin. WorldCoinIndex additionally noted that at the time of the incident, Bitwise’s NEAR ETF shares saw a synchronized pullback of more than 7%.

The market reaction is pretty straightforward. On Binance.us, NEAR is trading around 4.90; over the past 24 hours it’s down about 4.2%. The day’s high is around 5.12 and the low around 4.76. On Coinbase, NEAR is around 4.88 to 4.90, with the day’s low near 4.75. Meanwhile BTC is relatively strong—hovering around 86,400 with a day high touching 86,890. With BTC rising and NEAR falling, it suggests the selloff is driven by the asset’s own security narrative, not a broader market-wide liquidation.

My take: both the $3.8 million loss and the full compensation commitment are true; the trend repair hasn’t been officially stamped yet. The first move was panic pricing; the second will depend on whether there are real refunds within the 48-hour window and whether spot can reclaim 5.00.

For friends holding NEAR longs: if the rebound reaches 5.05 to 5.15, trim a little to reduce the emotional position. If it moves between 4.75 and 4.85, you can hold and watch for follow-through. If it’s re-sent back to 4.70, the rhythm is basically getting soft again. If you don’t have a position, don’t borrow “bottom-picking” slogans to chase the spike—wait to see whether funds can be recovered and the price can hold above 5.00 before acting.

Watch the next validation point: the outcome of the 48-hour refund window, and whether altcoins face renewed pressure after tonight’s 20:30 (nonfarm) release.

The big coin has been tapped up to around 86,800, and the non-farm payrolls haven’t come out yet.
But no need to panic—hitting that high doesn’t mean the job market gate has already passed. Tonight, we’ll treat it as a verification point.

First, pin down the objective data. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields spiked to around 5.34 yesterday and have since fallen back to roughly 5.24 or so. The U.S. Dollar Index is still stubborn around 102.
The Fear & Greed Index is 72, down slightly from 74 yesterday, but it remains in the “greed” zone.
The current price of the big coin is about 86,400—up around 3.5% over the last 24 hours. The intraday high is hugging 86,900.
Ethereum is about 2,750, up around 2.6%.
Price has already priced in the optimistic scenario for October, but interest rates and dollar funding costs haven’t truly let go.

The chart is pretty straightforward. The first push already hit the upside. The second push depends on how yields and the dollar are repriced after tonight’s 20:30 non-farm payrolls.
The expectations are roughly 84K to 90K for the number, and an unemployment rate of 4.1%. If the dollar and the long end stay firm, yields and the long end could rise again; if they soften, risk assets may get their second leg.

My view: the move to 86,800 is a pulse/flash validation—it doesn’t automatically confirm a trend. Non-farm is the pricing anchor for tonight.

For friends holding long positions: when it rebounds to 86,500–87,000, reduce a bit of your emotional exposure; if it comes back to 85,200–85,600, you can still hold and watch for support. If it gets thrown back to 83,800, then the rhythm is basically softening.
For those with no position, don’t borrow the momentum of the high to chase in—wait until the non-farm numbers land and the reaction in Treasuries lines up before you act.

Watch the next verification point: 20:30—actual non-farm vs. expectations, and whether the 10-year yield can continue loosening below 5.2, along with whether the Dollar Index pulls back.
Once the numbers settle, we’ll talk about the second push.

Just now, the XRP Custody company Evernorth shareholders’ meeting has passed, targeting a Nasdaq listing on October 8.
The path to listing is a step closer, but the go-ahead for a spot “launch” hasn’t been stamped yet.

First, pin down the objective data. According to the official press release (PR Newswire, October 1), Evernorth’s Armada II shareholders approved the business merger with Evernorth at a special shareholders’ meeting on September 30. The deal is expected to raise about $300 million in cash, including $225 million in private placement, $30 million in convertible notes, and about $48 million in trust, and investors will also contribute XRP in kind. After closing, it is expected that Evernorth will hold about 473 million XRP coins. It claims it will become the largest pure XRP custody-listed company. The timeline calls for closing around October 7, with XRPN trading starting October 8. Based on a rough calculation at current prices, the custody size is around $700 million.

The market gave a small initial reaction. Now XRP spot is around 1.536, up about 3% over the past 24 hours. The daily high touched 1.542, with a daily low of 1.474. Bitcoin (the big pie) is also somewhat strong, hovering around the 86,200 area. After the news hit, there was follow-through, but it didn’t instantly turn into a trend-breaking breakout—more like writing the listing expectation into the premium, not a full-on assault.

My take: The shareholders approved the formation, and the Nasdaq route is closer; the spot “launch” still hasn’t been stamped. The first “wave” was expectation pricing, and the second wave depends on whether the premium around the October 8 listing gets realized—or whether it gets given back first.

For friends holding XRP long positions: if it rebounds to 1.55–1.60, trim a bit of your emotional exposure. If it pulls back to 1.48–1.52, you can still hold and watch for the continuation. If it gets thrown back down to 1.45, then the rhythm is considered soft. If you don’t have a position, don’t chase the spike just because of listing news—wait for the first week after the ticker starts trading and then act based on the opening premium and trading volume.

Next verification point to watch: whether closing on October 7 can be carried out as scheduled, and whether XRPN is priced at a premium or a discount versus spot during its first week of trading.

Yesterday, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of about $102.7 million again, while spot Ether ETFs posted net outflows of about $55.4 million.
But don’t panic—this looks more like capital is choosing beta, not that risk appetite has fully opened and the second leg is already being ignited.

First, pin down the objective data. Using the Farside reporting standard, on October 1 the total net inflow on the Bitcoin side was about $102.7 million. Just BlackRock’s IBIT alone took in about $195.6 million, while Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC are still bleeding out. On the Ether side, total net outflows were about $55.4 million, with FETH and ETHE leading the decline. After “Jiu San” delivered that one cut that interrupted the nine-day streak, the Bitcoin side replenished the funds the next day, but Ether is still in the red; the divergence ratio is more consistent with the reality than a simple “risk-on/off” call.

The tape is a bit cooler too. Bitcoin is hovering around 86,000, and the intraday high probed the 86,800 area. Ether is around 2,735, with the high pressing close to 2,748 as it grinds. With the BTC ETF inflow rebound confirmed, but spot price not breaking through the upper level in one go, it suggests the market is pricing the divergence first, not playing a full-on push.

My take: Bitcoin-side fund inflow has resumed, but that doesn’t automatically mean altcoins or Ether will lift off together. The next move depends on whether today’s ETFs can keep posting inflows and whether Ether outflows can stop.

For friends holding Bitcoin long positions: if the rebound reaches 86,500 to 87,000, reduce some emotional exposure first; if it’s still in the 85,200 to 85,600 range, you can hold and watch for support. If it falls back to 83,800, then the rhythm is considered soft.
If you don’t have a position, don’t chase higher by borrowing the ETF inflow—wait until today’s net subscriptions and the U.S. stock market’s pace are aligned before acting.

Watch the next confirmation point: whether today’s ETFs continue to see net inflows, and whether Ether-side outflows shrink. Only when the divergence narrows can the second leg be considered landed.

MetaMask’s staking infrastructure has hit trouble: over at Lido, validators have begun exiting, while Ethereum is still being pushed around the 2720 area.

But don’t panic. This looks more like an operational risk involving validator operator signing permissions—it doesn’t mean the wallet was stolen or that an Ethereum systemic collapse has already been officially confirmed.

First, anchor the objective data. On September 30, MetaMask disclosed that some infrastructure experienced a security incident, and it started a preventive exit for affected validators in its non-custodial staking. The company said it did not find that wallets were directly threatened at the time, and that it does not hold customer withdrawal keys. On-chain statistics (Bitquery, cited via TokenPost on October 2) show that about 16,965 validators have exited or entered the exit queue, involving roughly 565,000 ETH. Separately, 18 blocks totaling about 0.36 ETH in tips flowed to anomalous addresses, and within the analysis scope, no reduction was observed. Lido says the validator exit process is expected to continue until October 7. Validators can re-enter staking for up to about 45 days at most, and stETH holders do not need to take additional actions. Aave, Ethena, and others have also stated that their products have no meaningful exposure.

The market reaction is a bit colder than the headline. Ethereum’s current price is around 2724; the day’s high tested 2748 and the low was 2671. BTC is around 85,900. With security news spreading, spot trading hasn’t shown panic-style de-anchoring. This suggests the market is currently pricing the risk as operational rather than pricing it as a systemic collapse.

My take: the security incident is real, but a systemic collapse hasn’t been stamped yet. The risk narrative is shifting from hot-wallet storytelling to validator operator signing-permission operations. The next move will depend on whether the exits are clean and whether the investigation brings new disclosures.

For those with large ETH positions: if the rebound reaches 2760 to 2780, consider trimming some of your emotional exposure first. If price stays between 2680 and 2710, you can still hold and watch for the order flow. If ETH is re-thrown back to 2620, the rhythm is effectively softening. For those with no position, don’t borrow fear to chase a short—wait until the October 7 exit of nodes is in place and investigation patches are released before acting.

Next validation point to watch: whether Lido’s side has completed exits before October 7, and whether there’s confirmation of any削减 (cutbacks) or larger capital losses. Only when the exits are clean and stETH does not de-peg can the second leg be considered complete.

MetaMask staking infrastructure trouble, Lid

Just-spot Bitcoin ETFs broke a streak of nine straight inflows. Net outflows on the day were about $149 million, yet BTC is still grinding around the 86,000 level.

But don’t panic—the outflows are highly concentrated in a single Fidelity deal. Most funds barely moved, which doesn’t mean a full withdrawal has been confirmed.

First, pin down the objective data. According to Farside (cited from BingX’s Flash News), on September 30 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of about $148.7 million, ending roughly $3.08 billion in combined net inflows over the prior nine consecutive trading days. That day was mainly driven by Fidelity’s FBTC, which recorded outflows of about $125.6 million. Bitwise and BlackRock each saw outflows of tens of millions—together still only around that scale—while the other nine funds were almost unchanged. For the whole month of September, ETFs still absorbed about $2.65 billion. A single-day reversal doesn’t equal a monthly trend flip.

The market looks a bit cooler than the capital. Right now BTC is around 86,030 or so, up about 2% over the past 24 hours. The day high touched 86,890, and the day low was 83,190. Ethereum is roughly sideways around 2,718. Glassnode also says this rebound’s volume is more on the speculative side, and real trading activity hasn’t fully caught up yet. Price moved first; the second wave of capital is still being validated.

My read: the single-day outflow is valid, but a full withdrawal hasn’t been stamped. Grinding around 86,000 is like pulse support to keep things alive—it’s not a confirmed trend.

For those holding longs: if the rebound reaches 86,500 to 87,000, trim a bit to control the emotional position. If it comes back to 84,800 to 85,200, you can still hold and watch for support. If it gets thrown back to 83,800, then the rhythm is effectively softening. If you have no position, don’t chase this pulse spike—wait to see whether this week’s net subscriptions turn positive before acting.

Watch the next validation point: whether this week’s ETF net subscriptions turn positive again, and whether there’s follow-through volume above 86,000. Only when money flows back can it count as the second wave—don’t mistake a pulse for a stamp of confirmation.

The frog has moved again—keeping positions steady doesn’t mean a breakout has already been confirmed.

First, pin down objective data. According to CoinGlass (cited by FXStreet, updated on October 2), PEPE futures open interest is about $322.9 million, with a slight rise over the past 24 hours. The funding rate is around +0.0109%, suggesting longs are still paying to hold their positions. In the article, the spot price is still churning around 0.00000440 to 0.00000445, and the key threshold is stated clearly: for a sustained upward move, you first need to reclaim the psychological level of 0.00000500.

The tape looks a bit more aggressive than the earlier draft. PEPE’s current price is around 0.00000469, up nearly 7% over 24 hours; the intraday high is basically right near the current price. Bitcoin is also relatively strong, around 86,600. Retail derivatives are adding exposure, but spot hasn’t yet flipped 0.00000500 into support—more like a mood-driven rebound/repair, not a full-on attack.

My read: the two conditions hold—positions are steady and the funding rate is slightly positive. But the trend confirmation hasn’t been stamped yet. The first “shot” is keeping the rebound alive; the second one will depend on whether it can hold above 0.00000500.

For friends holding PEPE long positions: if the rebound reaches 0.00000485 to 0.00000505, cut a bit of your sentiment/position. If it’s in the 0.00000440 to 0.00000455 range, you can still hold and watch for support. If it gets thrown back down to 0.00000420, then the rhythm is starting to soften. If you don’t have a position, don’t chase this burst of sentiment—wait to see whether price can reclaim and hold 0.00000500 before acting.

Next validation point to watch: can 0.00000500 turn from resistance into support, and will futures open interest continue to climb as it approaches the key level rather than first blowing up/liquidating.

Ethereum has just delivered its strongest third quarter in nearly a decade, but at the current price it’s still grinding below the year-end high right now—don’t treat the quarterly champion as a ticket to immediately launch another push.

First, pin down the objective data. According to Coinglass, ETH’s Q3 2026 return is about 70.8%, the highest since 2016; compared with BTC’s同期 return of roughly 42% to 43%. The quarter began around the 1569 area and closed near 2689. The intra-quarter high was about 2775. On the institutional side, last quarter there was also a rebound of ETH spot ETF inflows, but that was a performance reflected in the quarterly report—not the kind of offensive freshly stamped this week.

The market’s response is a bit off. ETH spot is currently around 2720, up less than 1% in the past 24 hours; meanwhile BTC has already moved back toward the 85,500 area. The quarterly numbers are strong, but the spot “second leg” hasn’t immediately followed through—more like digesting end-of-quarter turnover rather than launching a full-scale second attack.

My take: the quarterly champion title is valid, but it doesn’t mean the trend is already confirmed for the next leg. The results look great; however, only when the resistance around 2775 turns into support can the second leg be considered in place.

For friends holding long ETH positions: if the rebound reaches 2760 to 2800, reduce some of your emotional exposure first; from 2650 to 2680, you can still hold and watch for follow-through. If it gets pushed back down to 2600 again, then the rhythm is basically softening. If you don’t have a position, don’t chase the quarterly narrative yet—wait and see whether 2775 can be reclaimed before acting.

Watch the next confirmation points: whether net inflows into ETH spot ETFs can continue this week, and whether 2775 can flip from resistance into support.
