ETH rose about 70% in the third quarter, but buy and sell orders have thinned out. 👀
According to CoinGecko data, $ETH order book depth has fallen to around 35%–45% of $BTC . With fewer orders on the books, the same-sized trade could cause a bigger price swing—pushing prices up quickly, but potentially sending them tumbling even faster.
A strong rally is great, but it’s also worth watching whether buyers step in during a pullback. I’ll wait for ETH to move out of its current consolidation range and try to resist the urge to chase the rally.

🐱 Black Cat Sab’s livestream schedule 🧡
I recently started livestreaming on Binance Square. Unless something comes up, I’ll be going live regularly:
🗓️ Monday to Friday
🕘 9:00–11:00 PM
My livestreams will mostly cover the things I do every day:
📈 Live Nasdaq NQ chart-watching
📝 Pre-market plans, key levels, and waiting for setups
🎯 Entry/exit ideas and price action
If I wrap up Nasdaq NQ early, we’ll also take a look at BTC, ETH, and whichever cryptocurrencies are active that evening.
My livestreams might be a little different from the more lively ones (welcome to an introvert’s livestream, haha).
Most of the time, I’ll just have some light music on while I watch the charts as usual. If there’s something worth discussing, I’ll share it. If there’s no suitable setup, we’ll wait together. I won’t force trades just for the livestream (●'◡'●) (Trading is really all about having patience, waiting, and managing your emotions.)
The livestream will mainly be in Chinese, but English is welcome too.
If I ever have to skip a livestream or change the schedule, I’ll let you know on Square in advance.
Monday to Friday, 9 PM.
If you want to see how I trade day to day, see you in the livestream. 🐱

The price gain has not yet reached extreme territory, but positioning is already crowded. Public Binance data at 09:36 (UTC+8) showed that $API3 was up 11.02% over 24 hours on the spot market and 9.39% on perpetuals, with trading volumes of approximately 21.82 million and 136 million USDT, respectively.
In the last fully completed 1-hour period, the perpetual price rose from 0.3400 to 0.3487, a gain of 2.56%. Trading volume was approximately 4.47 million USDT, up 236.34% from the previous period; spot gained 3.76% over the same period, with volume up 142.95%. Open interest by contract quantity increased 3.07% in the past hour and 79.33% over the 30-point window, indicating that new positions are contributing to this short-term rise.
⚠️ The divergence lies in funding. The indicative rate has reached -0.7312%, while the most recent actual settlement was -0.3966%. The current, still-open hourly period is down 1.81% from the previous close. Negative funding alongside a rapid increase in open interest could fuel a further short squeeze, but it could also amplify moves in either direction if the rally fails. Don't chase the trade based on the price gain alone.
For trading, first watch the 0.3365–0.3502 range from the last fully completed hour. If a subsequent full hourly period closes above 0.3502, with spot and perpetual trading volumes and open interest continuing to expand in tandem, the bullish structure can be considered intact. If price falls below 0.3365 while open interest contracts from elevated levels, that would look more like crowded positions beginning to unwind. The current hourly period has not closed, so don't treat an intraperiod bounce or pullback as confirmation.

The 24-hour gain is still above 44%, but the market has shifted from an accelerating rally to intense turnover. Public Binance data at 07:36 (UTC+8) showed $Lobster perpetuals at 0.06373, up 44.55% over 24 hours, with roughly 211 million USDT in trading volume; there is no Binance spot market for this asset to use for cross-checking.
The previous full 1-hour candle fell from 0.06550 to 0.05915, a 9.69% pullback, on roughly 31.91 million USDT in volume, down 43.42% from the prior hour. The current, still-open hourly candle has rebounded 7.74% from the previous close. The latest four full hours are still up 7.41%, with volume up 588.76% compared with the preceding four hours. This points to high trading activity, but swings are also getting wider.
⚠️ Open interest by contract quantity fell 1.40% over the past hour and 6.14% over the 30-point window. The funding indicator rose to +0.1254%, while the latest actual settlement was +0.0930%. Elevated prices, shrinking leverage, and a high positive funding rate are occurring together, so chasing the rally carries the risk of a sharp pullback if longs become overcrowded.
For trading purposes, treat 0.05493–0.06757, the range of the previous full hourly candle, as the confirmation zone. A close above 0.06757 on a subsequent full hourly candle, without a marked decline in volume, would support another test of the highs. A break below 0.05493 alongside continued OI contraction would look more like deleveraging after a failed rebound.

🇨🇳 October 6 | Crypto Market Brief
$BNB 🧧
📊 BTC’s third attempt at $87K gets pushed back again
BTC is currently around $85.6–86.0K, after touching near $87K again yesterday before pulling back; ETH is around $2.71K, and SOL around $120.5.
BTC has faced selling pressure near $87K for the third time in a row, but the lows are gradually rising. The market is waiting for a decisive move. Total crypto market capitalization is around $2.93T.
🔴 ETF flows cool again
On October 5, U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw net outflows of around $89.9M, ending two consecutive days of net inflows. ETH ETFs saw net outflows of around $51M, marking their fifth consecutive day in the red.
SOL ETFs saw around −$9.3M, and ZEC ETFs around −$3.6M.
Institutional funds haven’t disappeared, but they have clearly slowed down in the short term.
🏦 Companies continue buying BTC and ETH
In its latest disclosure, Strategy said it had bought another 334 BTC, bringing its holdings to around 848,000 BTC.
Meanwhile, Strive bought around 2,000 BTC, while BitMine added around 15,112 ETH.
Prices are moving sideways, but corporate treasuries are still steadily absorbing spot supply.
🔥 HYPE faces a major unlock today
Hyperliquid is releasing 3.75M HYPE today, worth around $340M and representing about 1.69% of the circulating supply.
However, these tokens are not being sold directly on the open market. The team is selling them over the counter to a single institutional buyer, so the actual short-term selling pressure may be lower than the headline figure suggests.
🌡️ Another conflicting macro signal
The U.S. September ISM Services PMI fell to 54.9, indicating that the economy is still expanding; however, Prices Paid rose to 74, its highest level since July 2022.
The economy hasn’t clearly lost steam, but price pressures are heating up again. This is also an important reason why Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar continue to weigh on BTC.
⛓️ Ethereum: Glamsterdam enters a critical testing phase
Ethereum is testing the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Sepolia testnet today.
This is an important test ahead of the mainnet upgrade, but it is not a mainnet launch. An official date has not yet been set.
📊 Market Snapshot
BTC ≈ $85.6–86.0K
ETH ≈ $2.71K
SOL ≈ $120.5
BTC Dominance ≈ 58%
Fear & Greed ≈ 73
Market Cap ≈ $2.93T
🎯 Today’s market is actually pretty simple:
$85K is holding, $87K hasn’t been broken, ETF flows are cooling, but corporate treasuries are still buying.
There’s resistance above, and buyers are stepping in below.
What BTC needs most right now isn’t a story,
but a decisive move that holds above $87K.

After the increase expanded to around 25%, the market did not continue trending higher in a one-way move; instead, it switched from a complete hourly range to renewed acceleration in the current hour. Binance public data at 13:37 (UTC+8) showed spot at 2.489 for $ORCA , up 24.89% over 24 hours; perpetuals at 2.482, up 25.04%, with 24-hour trading volume of about 86.47 million USDT.
The previous completed 1-hour perpetual candle rose only 0.04%, but trading volume was about 6.829 million USDT, up 44.46% month over month; spot price was flat over the same period, while volume increased 46.39% month over month. The current unclosed hourly perpetual price is 5.84% higher than the previous hour's close, but this intraday acceleration still needs the close to confirm.
Open interest increased 1.46% in the most recent hour and 35.32% over a 30-point window. Funding is indicated at -0.0506%, and the most recent actual settlement was -0.0557%. Negative funding and position expansion can amplify a squeeze, but perpetual trading volume over the last 4 hours fell 22.75% versus the prior 4 hours, so volume has not fully matched price. Do not chase the rally based only on the funding rate.
For short-term observation, the previous completed hourly range was 2.305-2.446. If subsequent completed hours can hold above 2.446 and trading plus OI continue to expand moderately, the strength has a basis to extend; if price falls back below 2.305 and is accompanied by OI contraction, it looks more like deleveraging after a failed acceleration, so first control the risk of chasing price.

This move is being driven by more than just a 24-hour gain: hourly trading volume and positioning are accelerating in tandem. Public Binance data at 11:37 (UTC+8) showed $PARTI spot at 0.03250, up 17.33% over 24 hours; perpetuals were at 0.03246, up 16.97%, with approximately 29.97 million USDT in 24-hour trading volume.
In the last completed 1-hour period, perpetuals rose 2.16%, with trading volume of approximately 4.515 million USDT, up 1788.79% from the previous hour; spot rose 2.30% over the same period, with trading volume up 2429.50%. The current, unclosed hourly candle has risen about 4.27% above the previous hour’s close, but an intraperiod gain should not be treated as a confirmed close.
OI in contracts increased 11.88% over the last hour and 58.06% over the 30-point window, indicating a clear acceleration in position buildup. Both the Funding indicator and the latest settlement are at +0.0050%, so long funding has not yet reached an extreme. ⚠️ The alignment of price, volume, and OI favors trend continuation, but perpetuals’ 24-hour liquidity is only around 30 million USDT, and rapid position increases can amplify deleveraging in either direction.
In the short term, watch the previous completed hourly range of 0.03029–0.03285. A further move higher is supported only if a subsequent completed hourly candle holds above 0.03285 on increased volume, without OI growth accelerating excessively. If price falls back below 0.03029 while OI remains elevated, prioritize guarding against a rapid pullback following a failed breakout.

Both the Funding indicator and the latest settlement are at +0.0050%, so long funding has not yet reached an extreme. ⚠️ The alignment of price, volume, and OI favors trend continuation, but perpetuals’ 24-hour liquidity is only around 30 million USDT, and rapid position increases can amplify deleveraging in either direction.
In the short term, watch the previous completed hourly range of 0.03029–0.03285. A further move higher is supported only if a subsequent completed hourly candle holds above 0.03285 on increased volume, without OI growth accelerating excessively. If price falls back below 0.03029 while OI remains elevated, prioritize guarding against a rapid pullback following a failed breakout.

Gains are continuing, but momentum is no longer as smooth as it was earlier. Public Binance data at 09:37 (UTC+8) shows $EDU spot at 0.0613, up 15.66% over 24 hours; perpetuals are at 0.06138, up 15.79%, with 24-hour trading volume of approximately 27.88 million USDT.
Perpetuals rose 2.93% in the previous full one-hour period, with trading volume of approximately 1.88 million USDT, up 226.53% from the prior hour. The current, still-open hourly candle is down 0.66% from the previous hour's close. The price has pulled back after a spike, so an intraday rebound should not be taken as confirmation of a fresh breakout.
Quantity OI increased 3.48% over the past hour and 29.60% over the 30-point window, indicating that positions are still expanding. However, both the Funding indication and the latest settlement are only +0.0100%, so funding rates have not yet reached extreme long levels. ⚠️ At the same time, perpetual trading volume over the past four hours fell 46.34% compared with the preceding four hours. This is the key divergence to watch right now: positions are still increasing, but trading volume is cooling.
In the short term, watch the previous full-hour range of 0.05936–0.06263. If a subsequent full hourly candle breaks above 0.06263 on rising volume, without OI expansion accelerating excessively, the trend may have room to push higher. If price falls below 0.05936 alongside contracting OI, it would look more like positions unwinding at elevated levels, so limit the risk of chasing the rally.

After nearly doubling over 24 hours, RLC is now experiencing intense price swings at elevated levels. Binance public data at 07:37 (UTC+8) shows spot at $RLC , with the spot price at 0.7236, up 99.17% over 24 hours; perpetuals at 0.7201, up 98.81%, with trading volume of about 530 million USDT.
The last full 1-hour perpetual candle fell 2.61%, but volume was about 50.11 million USDT, up 68.63% month over month; the current still-open hour has rebounded 4.12% from the previous hour's close. The price pulled back and quickly recovered, indicating that short-term trading is still very active, but incomplete hourly data cannot be treated as confirmation of a breakout.
Open interest has increased 2.88% in the most recent hour, and surged 416.74% over the 30-point window, meaning position expansion is much faster than short-term price changes. Funding is indicated at -0.0405%, with the most recent actual settlement at -0.0239%. Negative funding does not necessarily mean prices will keep rising; combined with very large open interest at high levels, it may instead amplify squeeze risk on both the long and short sides, as well as deleveraging risk.
For the short term, first watch the last full hourly range of 0.6904—0.7761. If a later full hour closes above 0.7761 on strong volume and OI growth starts to stabilize, then the strength has room to continue; if price breaks below 0.6904 accompanied by a rapid contraction in OI, it looks more like the fading of crowded positions, and the nearly 100% gain should not be extrapolated directly.

After falling more than 30% in 24 hours, the market has yet to show clear signs of position liquidation. Public Binance data at 15:50 (UTC+8) showed $US perpetual trading at 0.012811, down 32.32% over 24 hours, with about 97.95 million USDT in trading volume; the current, still-open hourly candle is down a further 3.22% from the previous hour’s close.
The previous full hour fell 1.36%, with about 1.5 million USDT in trading volume, down 16.92% from the hour before. Prices were nearly flat over the last four full hours, while trading volume fell 16.51% compared with the preceding four hours. Short-term volume has cooled, but contract-count OI still rose 0.47% over the past hour and 2.38% over the 30-point window, indicating that the number of contracts has not contracted in step with the price decline. This does not reveal the direction of newly opened positions, but it does mean leverage-driven disagreement remains.
The funding indicator is at -0.0108%, while the most recent actual settlement was -0.0031%—negative, but not yet extreme. After a sharp decline, chasing shorts means guarding against both further downside and a rapid rebound in a low-liquidity environment.
In the short term, watch 0.013231–0.013510, the range of the previous full hour. If a subsequent full hourly candle fails to close back above 0.013231 while OI continues to rise, bearish pressure will remain dominant. If the price reclaims 0.013510 and OI falls, that would look more like crowded positions unwinding, making it significantly less attractive to chase shorts.

Prices, trading activity, and open positions are all rising in this round at the same time—having more information value than a standalone price increase. According to Binance’s public data at 13:48 (UTC+8), $MUBARAK spot is quoted at 0.07745, up 17.08% over the past 24 hours; the perpetual contract is at 0.07757, up 17.30%, with approximately 148 million USDT in trading volume over the past 24 hours.
In the previous complete hour, spot and perps rose by 4.64% and 4.67%, respectively. Perp trading volume was about 5.34 million USDT, up 83.21% month-over-month; spot trading volume also increased 48.98% month-over-month. Over the most recent four complete hours, perps rose 10.24%, and trading volume increased 69.00% compared with the prior four hours. OI (open interest) increased by 1.62% over one hour, and the 30-point window increased by 6.01%. With quantity, price, and positions moving together, the underlying structure remains intact.
Funding indications and the most recent actual settlement were both +0.0050%, not following the price surge into crowded positive territory. However, OI only indicates that the number of contracts increased; it cannot determine the direction of new positioning. After a quick surge, any weakening in follow-through could still trigger deleveraging.
For the short term, first look at the prior complete hour’s range of 0.06955–0.07357. In the subsequent complete hour, only if it holds above 0.07357 and trading volume and OI continue to expand can the breakout be considered confirmed. If it falls back below 0.06955 and OI declines as well, treat it as a position “tide retreat” after a high, and do not chase the price.

Prices are accelerating, but positions haven’t caught up. According to Binance perpetual public data at 11:36 (UTC+8), $AIN is at 0.07110, up 46.21% over 24 hours. The range high/low is 0.08560/0.04640, with trading volume of about 421 million USDT. For this asset, this time it is still only confirmed as available to trade on perpetuals.
In the previous full hour, it rose 12.33%, and trading volume increased by 278.03% quarter-on-quarter; over the most recent four complete hours, it has accumulated a gain of 21.89%, with trading volume up 218.41% compared with the prior four hours. The current (not yet closed) hour is also 6.27% higher than the closing price of the previous hour. Price and volume are accelerating further, but intraday changes cannot be treated as a closing confirmation.
The divergence comes from positioning: quantity OI fell 2.34% in the last hour and dropped 8.65% over the 30-point window. The Funding indicator is +0.1422%, while the most recent actual settlement is +0.1638%. As price is pushed up while OI contracts, it may involve deleveraging or short covering. On its own, OI cannot confirm which side is backing off; positive Funding also means long positions still have a high holding cost.
Only if a full hour holds above 0.06966 without a noticeable drop in trading activity can there be a basis for further testing of 0.08560. Once it falls back below 0.05891 and OI continues contracting, I will prioritize treating it as deleveraging after the spike. In a high-volatility phase, don’t chase the intraday surge by increasing leverage.

This round of the upswing wasn’t driven by price alone. Binance’s public data at 07:36 (UTC+8) shows that perpetual contracts are at 0.17611 for $GTC , up 55.29% over the past 24 hours; the spot price is 0.17580, up 53.59%. Both markets are moving in the same direction.
In the previous complete 1-hour period, perps rose 7.91% with trading volume up 80.93% quarter-over-quarter; spot rose 8.02% with trading volume up 98.39% in the same period. Over the most recent four complete hours, perps accumulated gains of 11.85%, with trading volume 53.21% higher than the prior four hours—near-term volume and price action are still expanding.
Positions and fees reveal sharper divergence: open interest (OI) increased by 0.60% over the last hour, and within a 48-point window it rose 53.41%. The Funding indicator is -0.6680%, while the most recent actual settlement is -0.4830%. When price, trading, and positions all move up together, shorts still pay elevated costs, suggesting the squeeze could continue. However, deeply negative Funding does not necessarily mean price must keep rising, and quantity-based OI cannot determine the direction of newly added positions.
The current unclosed hour is only about 0.32% higher than the previous hour’s close. If the full hour holds above 0.17550, and both成交量 and OI continue to expand, there would be a basis to retest 0.18277. If it breaks below 0.16120 and is accompanied by OI contraction, prioritize guarding against deleveraging at higher levels rather than simply treating the pullback as a follow-on opportunity.

Greed Index at 68: $BTC Should You Chase or Run? I Looked at Four Years of Data 👀
When people see “the market is greedy,” some want to chase the rally, while others get ready to short. But the market can behave very differently after the same reading of 68.
💡 I checked the dates from October 4, 2022, to October 3, 2026, when the Alternative.me reading was exactly 68. There were 19 of them. Using the BTC daily closing price on each date as the baseline:
▸ 7 days later: 10 were up and 9 were down;
▸ 30 days later: also 10 were up and 9 were down.
Note that these 19 dates include consecutive or near-consecutive observations, and the follow-up periods overlap. They shouldn’t be treated as 19 independent trades, and 10/19 certainly shouldn’t be presented as a long-trade win rate. The sample is small, and fees aren’t included.
A few examples make the differences clearer:
1️⃣ April 14, 2023: Index at 68.
BTC closed at around $30,500 that day, then fell about 10.5% over the next 7 days and about 11.7% over the next 30 days. Sentiment can be hot while prices still pull back.
2️⃣ November 7, 2023: Index also at 68.
BTC closed at around $35,400, then rose about 0.3% over the next 7 days and about 22.2% over the next 30 days. If you assume greed means a top, you might get out too early.
3️⃣ July 26, 2024: Still at 68.
BTC closed at around $67,900, then fell about 9.6% over the next 7 days and about 5.3% over the next 30 days. The same reading didn’t reproduce the rally from the previous cycle.
4️⃣ June 17, 2025: Index at 68.
BTC closed at around $104,600, then rose about 1.4% over the next 7 days and about 14.0% over the next 30 days. Greed can accompany a continuing trend, too.
These comparisons remind me that one number can’t capture the trend, buying pressure, and market conditions at the time.
And Alternative.me’s calculation already includes price volatility, momentum, and trading volume. A rising market can push the index higher, so using the index to prove that “prices will keep rising” can easily become circular reasoning.
I’d look one step further: Is this reading of 68 rising gradually from fear, or falling from a higher level of greed? Is the price holding after a breakout, or repeatedly spiking and pulling back?
I’ll keep an eye on the market tonight, Sunday, too. If price holds on a retest after breaking out, I’ll keep watching for the uptrend to continue; if it spikes and then falls back into the range, I’ll be less inclined to chase. Especially with futures, don’t use a sentiment reading as a reason to add to your position. 🙈
Price action has the final say.

Greed Index at 68: $BTC Should You Chase or Run? I Looked at Four Years of Data 👀
When people see “the market is greedy,” some want to chase the rally, while others get ready to short. But the market can behave very differently after the same reading of 68.
💡 I checked the dates from October 4, 2022, to October 3, 2026, when the Alternative.me reading was exactly 68. There were 19 of them. Using the BTC daily closing price on each date as the baseline:
▸ 7 days later: 10 were up and 9 were down;
▸ 30 days later: also 10 were up and 9 were down.
Note that these 19 dates include consecutive or near-consecutive observations, and the follow-up periods overlap. They shouldn’t be treated as 19 independent trades, and 10/19 certainly shouldn’t be presented as a long-trade win rate. The sample is small, and fees aren’t included.
A few examples make the differences clearer:
1️⃣ April 14, 2023: Index at 68.
BTC closed at around $30,500 that day, then fell about 10.5% over the next 7 days and about 11.7% over the next 30 days. Sentiment can be hot while prices still pull back.
2️⃣ November 7, 2023: Index also at 68.
BTC closed at around $35,400, then rose about 0.3% over the next 7 days and about 22.2% over the next 30 days. If you assume greed means a top, you might get out too early.

Position expansion is faster than price movement. Public Binance data at 13:38 (UTC+8) shows the $2Z perpetual at 0.04561, up 1.85% over the past 24 hours; the spot price is 0.04582, up 1.62%. The current unclosed hour is 0.86% higher than the previous hour’s close.
Over the last complete 1 hour, the perpetual price fell 0.24% and trading volume decreased 46.88% quarter-over-quarter; meanwhile, spot in the same period fell 0.20% and trading volume also fell 40.69%. In the most recent four complete hours, prices were still up 0.53%, but trading volume was 25.48% lower than in the preceding four hours, suggesting the rebound has not yet been confirmed by sustained momentum.
On the other hand, the quantity OI (open interest) increased 0.31% over the last hour, and within the 48-point window it rose 80.06%. Funding indicators were -0.1400%, while the most recent actual settlement was -0.1718%. When price is consolidating with a bullish bias, positions keep building up and shorts pay the funding. This can both become “squeeze fuel” and amplify moves in the opposite direction. Quantity OI by itself cannot determine the direction of newly added positions.
Only if the full hour holds above 0.04534 and both成交量 and OI expand in sync would the short-term setup have conditions to further test 0.04736. If it breaks below 0.04508 and OI declines alongside it, this move looks more like crowded positioning unwinding rather than a valid breakout.

Short-term capital is re-pricing this move. According to Binance public data at 11:38 (UTC+8), the $AXS perpetual is at 1.3128, with a 24-hour gain of only 0.89%, but in the last 4 completed hours it has already risen 5.32%. The currently open (not yet closed) hour is also 4.51% higher than the previous hour’s closing price.
In the previous completed 1-hour period, the price rose 1.61%. Perpetual trading volume was about 2.64 million USDT, down 33.96% from the prior hour, but over the last 4 completed hours the volume is still about 1144% higher than the earlier 4 hours. Spot in the same completed hour rose 1.37%. Both markets moved in the same direction, but after the burst, volume has started to cool off.
OI over the past hour increased by 1.55%, and the 48-point window increased by 22.66%. The Funding indicator is -0.0722%, and the most recent actual settlement is -0.0134%. When both price and positions rise together, shorts are still paying; this may continue to drive squeezes, and it also means volatility and the risk of counter-liquidations are building.
I’ll wait for the completed hour to confirm. If price holds 1.2683, and both成交 and OI expand again, then strength would have a base to continue testing 1.3270. If it breaks below 1.2244 and is accompanied by OI contraction, it looks more like deleveraging at high levels rather than a healthy pullback.

🚨 BINANCE JUST PUSHED AI DEEPER INTO CRYPTO.
Binance has launched Binance Intelligence — a new AI-powered layer built around market research, trading workflows, and crypto data.
The interesting part?
It’s not just one tool.
🧠 Binance AI → personalized market briefs, alerts and portfolio insights
⚡ Binance AI Pro → turns natural-language ideas into trading workflows
🤖 Agent OS → connects AI agents with market, wallet and on-chain capabilities
That’s a big shift.
Crypto platforms are no longer only giving traders charts and data.
They’re starting to give them AI systems that can interpret that data.
The real question is:
Will AI become as normal for traders as indicators and charts are today? 👀
