⚡ BTC parked at 85.5K (-0.46% in 24h). The whole market is pinned ahead of the FOMC minutes — out 18:00 UTC today (1am WIB Thu).

Overnight check:
• 113M in shorts liquidated over the weekend — bears got squeezed after BTC failed to break 87.5K.
• Strive just bought 2,000 BTC (~169M at ~84,422 avg) — biggest buy in 4 months, holdings now 29,462 BTC. Corporate bids haven't left.
• BTC spot ETFs went quiet: -3.2M net on Oct 6. ETH steady near 2,697.
• Fear & Greed: 71. Greed is back.

Trading take: last week longs were the exit liquidity, this weekend shorts were. The book is clean into the minutes — whichever way the tape breaks, it breaks fast. Hold 84.6K and 87.5K is still in play; lose it and CPI on Oct 14 is the next test.
