BTC finally broke through 83,000, touched 84,000, then came back|What I was watching during the midnight session 🔥
Honestly, in my last post I wrote, “83,500 keeps getting stuck.” Here’s the verdict this time: it broke through, so I was half wrong. It reached a high of 84,000 and is now around $BTC 8.38 万, up about 1% in 24 hours.
Looking at the chart, the red dashed line at 84,000 is tonight’s high, while the green dashed line at 82,000 is the floor that’s held over the past few days. I’d rather wait and see if it pulls back to around 83,000. Not chasing.
Around $ETH 2530, up 0.8% in 24 hours, and holding above 2,500. But ETH/BTC is still at 0.0302, so ETH isn’t outperforming BTC, and the shadow of consecutive ETF outflows is still hanging over the market.
· Entry zone: BTC 83,000–82,000; ETH 2,500–2,470 · Resistance: BTC 84,000; ETH 2,550 · Invalidation: BTC 80,400; ETH 2,400
Do you think 84,000 can hold tonight in one go? Or will it pull back to 83,000 first? Pick one in the comments.

No MEME volume surge, so tonight I’m keeping an eye on $NEAR 🔥 24h trading volume: $95 million. It briefly surged 11% on Saturday.
Emmm, I think this rally is being supported by the news: NEAR says its accounts now support post-quantum signatures with ML-DSA, and Bitwise’s NEAR ETF saw $35.5 million in net inflows on its first day. But there’s still no date set for the mainnet launch, so don’t take it all as good news.
Looking at the chart: the green dashed line at 5.0 is support, and the red dashed line at 5.45 is resistance. · Current price: around 5.35 (22:00 Hong Kong time) · Entry zone: on a pullback to around 5.0; don’t chase · Cut your losses: get out if it drops below 4.8. This one plunged from 5.6 to 4.3 a couple of days ago—it can turn on a dime.
Manage your position size; don’t go all in. Are you waiting for a pullback to 5.0 or chasing after a breakout above 5.45? Let me know in the comments👇 ⚠️Just my personal ramblings; this is not investment advice. #NEAR #Ethereum breaks above 2500 USDT
🚨 $MUBARAK 2-hour trading volume surged 5x! Price pumped then dumped within an hour—was someone wash trading?
Honestly, I was stunned when I first checked the charts: over the past 2 hours, average hourly trading volume was around $3.5 million—more than 5x the 7-day hourly average. 24-hour trading volume was $9.1 million.
Current price: 0.0725, down 4.5% in 24 hours. In the previous hour, it got slammed straight from 0.0783 to 0.072, leaving a pretty nasty wick.
On the chart: the red dashed line at 0.0783 marks the level it just fell from, and the green dashed line at 0.069 marks the low it retested two days ago.
· Re-entry zone: 0.069–0.070, but wait for it to stabilize · Resistance: 0.0783, 0.0795 · Invalidation: exit if it breaks below 0.069
A volume spike doesn’t mean the price has to go up. This kind of coin can make three round trips in a day—keep your position size under control and don’t go all in.

ETH weekly fund flows: ETFs have seen net outflows for 9 consecutive days, totaling $697 million, while ETH/BTC has slid from 0.032 to 0.0302 😮
Quick take: BTC held above 82,000, but once again failed to break 83,500 today. Honestly, I’ve lost count of how many times it’s tested that level.
$BTC is currently hovering around $83,000, up just 0.3% in 24 hours. According to SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs saw $680 million in net outflows last week, ending a three-week streak of inflows. But they brought in $21 million on Friday, a slight rebound. The red line in the chart is 83,500, and the green line is 82,000—price is stuck between them. The European session is about to open, and I’d rather wait for a volume-backed move above 83,500 before jumping in.
$ETH is around 2,500, up 0.2%. In the chart, 2,520 is the red line and 2,470 is the green line. ETH ETFs saw $540 million in outflows last week, their worst week since January. Surprisingly, the price didn’t crash, which caught me off guard. But weak is weak—ETH/BTC is still sliding, and BTC has been holding up better over the past few days.
Key levels: · Entry zone: BTC around 82,000 / ETH around 2,470 · Resistance: BTC 83,500 / ETH 2,520 · I’m wrong if: BTC falls below 80,400 / ETH falls below 2,400
What do you think will move first in the European session: BTC breaking above 83,500, or ETH falling back to 2,470? Leave your answer in the comments.

Winklevoss filed for a spot ETF for Zcash (ticker: WINK), and Grayscale’s ZEC ETF has also topped $1 billion in assets. $ZEC , though, has steadily slid from over 1,400 to around 1,220. Honestly, I’m having a hard time making sense of it 😅
My take: The news is bullish, and the price is digesting it. If it retests support and holds, that could be an opportunity to get in. Don’t rush to chase it.
On the chart: The green line at 1185 is support from the wick a few days ago, and the red line at 1300 is the first resistance it needs to break on a rebound.
· Entry zone: Around 1200–1220 · Resistance: 1300, then 1366 · Cut your losses: Exit if it closes below 1185
Also, Grayscale has seen outflows since October, so don’t focus only on the good news. Volatility is high—whatever you do, don’t go all in.
Do you think it’ll retest 1200 first or head straight for 1300? Let’s discuss in the comments.

$BTC has been moving sideways for almost a day, with a range of less than 600 points. At midday, it’s still stuck below 83,500 😮💨
Honestly, I’m getting a little bored. In my last post, I said 82,000 needed to hold—and it did. The low was just above 82,200, so it didn’t break. But we still haven’t reclaimed 83,500. This level is really sticky.
Looking at the chart, the red dashed line at 83,500 is resistance, and the green dashed line at 82,000 is support. The current price is around 82,800. Personally, I’d rather wait for a retest of 82,000 before deciding—no chasing.
$ETH is around 2,500, up 0.3% over 24 hours, pretty much in line with BTC. On the chart, 2,520 is capping it, while 2,470 is holding it up. ETH/BTC is slightly up at 0.0302, so ETH is a tiny bit stronger, but ETFs have seen net outflows for 9 consecutive days, so don’t get too excited.
🚨 QNT has been swinging between 237 and 255 all day, with over $20 million in 24-hour trading volume. Would you dare to buy into this shakeout?
$QNT It’s around 237 now, down 3.7% over the past 24 hours. Honestly, I think the drop has been a bit sharp at this level, but price has bounced back after dipping near 220 on the daily chart before. I’d rather wait for a retest than chase it.
On the chart: the green dashed line at 220 is support, and the red dashed line at 255 is resistance.
· Entry zone: scale in between 225–235 · Resistance: 255; if it breaks through, then watch 270 · Cut your losses: exit if it drops below 220
Volatility is high, so don’t go all in—manage your position size.
Are you waiting to buy below 225, or would you start with a small position at 237? Let’s chat in the comments.

ETH ETFs have seen 9 straight days of net outflows, yet the price is stuck at $2,500? Honestly, I’m a little baffled 🤔
The weekend morning session is eerily quiet. $BTC Around $83,000, it’s up just 0.5% in 24 hours. It’s tested the 83,500 ceiling for the fifth time and still hasn’t broken through. According to SoSoValue, BTC ETFs saw $21 million in inflows on Friday, with IBIT providing support, but the total outflow for the week was still $680 million.
Looking at the chart, the red dashed line at 83,500 is resistance, and the green dashed line at 82,000 is the support I’m watching. Last night’s pullback didn’t break below 81,900, so the level I mentioned held.
$ETH At 2,505, it broke above 2,500, #以太坊突破2500USDT . But ETH ETFs have had outflows for 9 straight days: another $56 million outflow on Friday, $540 million for the week—the worst since January. Spot demand is holding it up while money is flowing out. I’m not comfortable betting big on this contradiction. ETH/BTC is at 0.0302. ETH is slightly stronger today, but that’s driven by sentiment, not capital flows.
Price levels: · BTC entry zone: around 82,000; resistance: 83,500; invalidation: 80,400 · ETH entry zone: around 2,470; resistance: 2,520–2,550; invalidation: 2,400
Weekend volume is low. Don’t chase—wait for a breakout.
Which do you think will happen first this weekend: BTC breaking above 83,500, or ETH falling back to 2,470?

ETH ETFs see net outflows for 9 straight days, totaling $697 million|But $ETH is somehow stronger than $BTC today
Honestly, I was a little surprised when I checked the charts just now. On Friday, BTC ETFs finally bounced back with $21 million in inflows (bought by IBIT), while ETHA is still seeing outflows. Farside data shows this is the 9th consecutive day of outflows.
First, $BTC : around 83,000, up 0.2% over 24h. In my last post, I said it got pushed back from 83,500. It still hasn’t broken above that level, but it hasn’t dipped below 81,000 either—it’s holding steady. On the chart, the red line at 83,500 is resistance, and the green line at 82,000 is the minor support I’m watching.
Now, $ETH : around 2,510, up 0.9% over 24h. ETH/BTC is also slightly up, so ETH is indeed stronger today. But ETFs keep seeing outflows, so I’m not comfortable chasing it. On the chart, if it can’t get past the red line at 2,520, it’s still range-bound.
Key levels: · Entry zone: BTC 82,000 / ETH 2,470 · Resistance: BTC 83,500 / ETH 2,520 · Cut-loss levels: BTC 80,400 / ETH 2,400
Keep an eye on the news during the U.S. trading session. Don’t go all in—wait for the right levels.
What do you think: will BTC break 83,500 first tonight, or retest 82,000 first?

NEAR surged 12% in a day, with trading volume still at $130 million. I really didn’t see this coming 🚀
Honestly, just a couple of days ago I thought $NEAR would keep ranging between 4.5 and 5. But tonight it shot straight up to 5.35, hitting a high of 5.38. It came with a spike in volume, so this doesn’t look like some casual pump.
On the chart: the green dashed line at 5.0 marks the previous consolidation area, and the red dashed line at 5.6 marks the high from that wick a couple of days ago.
· Entry zone: wait for a pullback near 5.0 and see if it holds · Resistance: 5.6—it got rejected there a couple of days ago · Cut your losses: if it drops back below 4.6, don’t try to tough it out
Chasing a breakout can get you shaken out, so I’d rather wait for a pullback. Manage your position size; don’t go all in.
Are you chasing the breakout or waiting for a pullback?

Honestly, ZEC got spooked by the “quantum doomsday” talk over the past couple of days and took a hit. I think the panic is bigger than the actual impact 😅
$ZEC It’s around 1,226 now, basically flat over 24 hours, with over $100 million in trading volume. No one’s rushing for the exits. The development team says it aims to add quantum-resistant signatures for transparent addresses by January next year (as reported by CoinDesk—this is just a development target, not a mainnet date). Winklevoss also filed an S-1 for a spot ZEC ETF, so the news flow isn’t actually bad.
On the chart: the green dashed line at 1,200 is the floor from the past few days, and the red dashed line at 1,300 is where the rebound got stuck.
· Entry zone: Wait for it to stabilize around 1,200; don’t chase · Resistance: 1,300; if it breaks through, watch 1,350 · Cut your losses: If it closes below 1,110, don’t try to ride it out
Volatility is high, so manage your position and don’t go all in. Are you waiting for a pullback to 1,200, or for a breakout above 1,300 before getting in? Let’s chat in the comments~

ETH ETF has seen net outflows of $697 million for 9 straight days, while BTC is still holding at 82.8k 😮
Before the European session opens, let’s check the answer: I said at noon to watch for a pullback to 81,000, but today’s low was 82,285, so it didn’t get there. Honestly, I feel like I missed the move. BTC is now at 82,800, up 0.2% over 24 hours, and 83,500 got rejected again — for the fourth time.
On Friday, IBIT took in $22.4 million, finally ending two days of $729 million in outflows (SoSoValue). My view is, don’t chase it before it holds above 83,500; wait for a pullback to around 82,000.
ETH is much weaker: 2,495, down 0.3%, and ETHA alone saw $477 million in outflows this week. ETH/BTC fell to 0.0301, with BTC continuing to pressure it.
Looking at the chart: the red dashed line at 83,500 is BTC resistance, the green dashed line at 81,000 is support; ETH resistance is 2,520, support is 2,440. · Entry zone: BTC 81,000-82,000, ETH around 2,440 · Resistance: 83,500 / 2,520 · Invalidation: BTC breaks below 80,000, ETH breaks below 2,400

NEAR is up nearly 7% in 24 hours, and 5.2 is back in sight 🚀
Honestly, none of the MEME coins had a surge in volume today; volume was subdued across the board, so I’ve been watching $NEAR . It’s around 5.18 now, with roughly $125 million in 24-hour trading volume, making it the hottest among these coins.
Looking at the chart: the green dashed line at 4.8 marks a level that’s been retested several times over the past few days, while the red dashed line at 5.3 marks where recent rallies have been rejected. Over the past two weeks, it’s mostly been ranging between 4.5 and 5.6. I don’t think it’s worth chasing the price.
· Entry zone: pullback to around 4.8–4.9 · Resistance: 5.3, then 5.5–5.6 · Invalidation: a drop below 4.6
High volatility—manage your position size, and don’t go all in. Do you think it can hold above 5.3 this time, or will it fall back to 4.8? Let’s discuss in the comments.

BTC has been range-bound for nearly 12 hours, moving just over $1,000|At midday, I’m watching these two levels
Honestly, BTC still hasn’t broken below the 80.4k level I mentioned this morning, so I’ll take that as a lucky call. $BTC is now around 82,600, up 0.2% over 24 hours. It got pushed back down from 83,500 again—that’s the third time. Stay steady and don’t chase.
On the chart: the red dashed line at 83,500 is resistance; the green dashed line at 81,000 is the pullback level I’m waiting for.
Around $ETH 2490, ETH is slightly down over 24 hours. It can’t get above 2,520, and 2,410 below is yesterday’s wick low. ETH/BTC is still sliding, and ETH is clearly weaker than BTC today.
· Entry zone: BTC 81,000 / ETH 2,440 · Resistance: BTC 83,500 / ETH 2,520 · Invalidation: BTC 80,000 / ETH 2,400
Weekend volume is thin. Don’t go all in before a breakout; the next major variable is CPI on 10/14.

🚨 $BOME A huge bullish candle at 8 a.m., with trading volume jumping to 2.8× the 7-day average|Is someone quietly getting in?
I just checked the chart and saw that price surged to 0.00112 in that one-hour stretch at 8, then got pushed back down to around 0.00108. It’s still up +3.6% over 24 hours, with Binance spot 24h trading volume just over $2 million.
Honestly, I couldn’t find any new news—it looks like a pure inflow of capital. When volume surges without a story behind it, I’d rather treat it as a chance to get in on a pullback than chase this spike.
On the chart: the red dashed line at 0.00112 marks this morning’s high before the sell-off, and the green dashed line at 0.00102 marks the floor that’s held several times over the past two days.
· Entry zone: pullback to 0.00102–0.00105 · Resistance: 0.00112; if it holds above, then watch 0.00125 (the September 24 spike high) · Invalidation: daily close below 0.00093
MEME is volatile, so keep your position small. Don’t go all in, and make sure you set a stop-loss.
Are you waiting for a pullback, or only buying if it gets above 0.00112?

Bitcoin ETFs saw $729 million in outflows over two days, yet BTC is still holding above 82,500. I’m a little surprised myself.
Let’s check how that call played out: In my last post, I said 80,400 was an entry point. Yesterday, the low really did dip to 80,394 before bouncing back. That level was spot on.
$BTC is now at 82,560, up around 1% over 24 hours. According to Farside, ETFs saw another $244 million in outflows yesterday, but the price barely broke down—which suggests selling pressure is easing. On the chart, the red line at 83,500 is a level that’s been rejected three times, while the green lines at 81,000 / 80,400 mark support. I won’t chase until BTC holds above 83,500; I’ll consider an entry if it pulls back near 81,000.
$ETH 2,489, up 0.5%. ETH ETFs have now seen outflows for eight straight days, totaling $640 million—much rougher than BTC. On the chart, 2,520 and 2,590 are resistance, while 2,410 was yesterday’s wick low.
ETH/BTC has fallen to 0.0301. BTC is still the stronger one today.
· Entry zone: BTC 81,000–80,400 / ETH 2,440–2,410 · Resistance: BTC 83,500 / ETH 2,520, 2,590 · Invalidation: BTC below 80,000 / ETH below 2,400
I think the weekend market will just churn in this range. CPI isn’t out until Wednesday. Are you waiting for a pullback to enter this weekend, or will you wait for a break above 83,500 before chasing?

Holy crap, Musk spent $8 billion on a chunk of spectrum, and America’s three biggest carriers lost over $40 billion in a day 📡
After Thursday’s close, $SPCX announced it was buying Grain’s nationwide 800MHz low-band spectrum (the Wall Street Journal said it was about $8 billion in cash). The goal is spelled out plainly: make Starlink a mainstream U.S. mobile carrier.
Friday’s close: T-Mobile -13%, AT&T -10%, Verizon -9%. SpaceX itself was actually up 1.3%.
But I think the hardest hit wasn’t the big three carriers—it was $ASTS . It’s also working on satellite-to-phone connectivity, and it got hammered 10% in a day, dipping to 47.5 intraday. Now that its rival has low-band spectrum, its story is a lot harder to sell.
Chart watch: On SPCX’s 4H chart, the green line at 160 is the floor of this pullback, and the red line at 172 is the previous high. For ASTS, the red line at 56 marks the gap left by the drop.
· SPCX: Look for long entries on a pullback above 160, with 172 as the upside target. Cut losses if it breaks below 155. · ASTS: A bounce to 55–56 is an opportunity to short, with 47.5 as the downside target. Cut losses if it gets back above 60.
To be fair, UBS also said building out the network would take years. The carriers may have overreacted a bit here. So I’m choosing to buy Musk and short the sidekick—I’m not trying to catch a falling knife in telecom.
Are you backing SpaceX or ASTS?

U.S. stocks close|Dow surges 423 points in a day; S&P 500 just 7 points shy of a record high 🔥
Friday, 10/9 close: Dow 51,655 (+0.8%), S&P 7,812 (+0.6%), Nasdaq 27,366 (+0.6%). All three major indexes finished the week in the green.
Honestly, after OpenAI’s revenue came in below expectations yesterday, I thought AI stocks might stay down for a couple more days. But they were bought right back up today. The real fireworks were in telecom: SpaceX bought 800 MHz of spectrum across the U.S., sending T-Mobile down 13% in a day. AT&T and Verizon also fell nearly 10%, while tower stocks took off. Humana surged 12% after a major upgrade to its health insurance rating.
But!!! The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index fell to 46.3, its second-lowest reading on record, and the 10-year Treasury yield is still above 5.2%. The indexes are climbing, but things underneath the surface aren’t exactly easy.
On the charts: the green dashed lines on the Nasdaq and S&P charts mark support; the red dashed lines mark resistance at previous highs.
· Entry zone: Nasdaq 27,050 / S&P 7,730, if they retest and hold · Resistance: Nasdaq 27,700 / S&P 7,845 (previous high) · Invalidation: if the S&P closes back below 7,690, don’t chase this move for now
Next week is the main event: JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo kick off earnings season on Tuesday; Wednesday brings September CPI (market expectations: +0.6% month over month, core +0.2%), plus Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, and ASML; Thursday brings PPI, retail sales, and TSMC earnings; and options expire Friday. U.S. stock markets are open Monday for Columbus Day, but the bond market is closed.
My take: if CPI doesn’t deliver a nasty surprise, the S&P will probably test a new high. If it does, wait for a pullback to 7,730 before jumping in—don’t rush to go all-in. Which way are you betting next week?

U.S. stocks have already bounced back, but crypto is still stuck in place? 10.10 early morning $BTC $ETH close-of-day recap | Bitcoin tested 83,500 twice in two days and got pushed back down both times
Honestly, I just finished watching the U.S. stock market close and I’m kind of speechless. U.S. stocks rebounded across the board on Friday, with the S&P just a hair away from a new high, but Bitcoin didn’t follow at all. It’s now around 82.3K, up only 0.6% in 24h.
The reason isn’t hard to guess: according to Farside data, BTC spot ETFs saw $729 million in outflows over the 7th and 8th, and ETH ETFs have had 8 straight trading days of net outflows, totaling $640 million. Institutions are pulling out, and retail can’t push it up.
See the chart below 👇 The red dashed line for BTC is 83,500. In the past two days, it went up there twice and got shoved back down immediately; the green dashed line at 80,400 is this week’s low.
ETH is a bit weaker, around 2480, and it drops as soon as it touches 2520. ETH/BTC has fallen to 0.030, so this round Bitcoin is still holding up better.
My take: weekend volume is light, don’t chase in the middle, wait for the right levels — · Entry zone: BTC 80,400–81,000 / ETH 2410–2440 · Resistance: BTC 83,500 / ETH 2520, 2590 · Invalidated: if BTC breaks below 80K decisively / ETH breaks below 2400, don’t hold on stubbornly
Only when it gets above 83,500 will the bears really start feeling pain. Before that, it’s just grinding. Next Wednesday’s CPI is the real directional signal. Anyone going all-in now is a warrior 😅
Do you think this weekend we’ll first wick down to 80K, or first break above 83,500?
