On the macro and industry front, China's foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 3,400.25 billion in September, down from USD 3,438.33 billion previously. Major DRAM manufacturers are planning price hikes of up to 20%. On-chain data shows that the total stablecoin market cap has reached USD 314.22 billion, up USD 540 million over the past 24 hours, suggesting that fresh capital may be entering the market.
Overall, major cryptocurrencies have all pulled back in the derivatives market. Sellers are more willing than buyers to trade at market prices, but funding rates are mostly positive and long/short account ratios remain elevated, suggesting that long positions are still crowded and leaving the market vulnerable to further pullbacks. The increase in stablecoin supply is the only bright spot, indicating that sidelined capital is tentatively entering the market. In light of these mixed signals, position sizes should be adjusted flexibly and chasing highs avoided. Do you think ETH's current weakness is a short-term shakeout or a shift in trend?
