$BTC spent several hours overnight grinding below 78000, dipping as low as 77620. Then the 6 a.m. hourly candle shot straight up, and by a little after seven it had reached 78523—another step above yesterday afternoon’s 78285. It’s now around 78320, up about 1% in 24 hours.
The Asian session opened with some energy on Monday, and $ETH followed suit, reaching 2277. I’m watching the 78500 area now: if it pushes above and then falls back, that suggests there are still sellers up there. 78000 below is a level it tested repeatedly last night; as long as it holds on a retest, things should be fine. This is not financial advice.
$BTC Just got above 78000 this afternoon, then pulled back to retest it this evening. Now it’s hovering right around 78000, up about 0.7% over the past 24 hours. The day’s high is still the 78285 reached this afternoon.
I’m mainly watching to see whether it can hold this pullback. If it holds, 78000 will have truly become support; if it falls back below, this afternoon’s move was still a false breakout. $ETH is a bit steadier, around 2267, up less than 1% on the day.
Trading volume is usually thin on weekend evenings, so I don’t really want to chase the price here. This is not financial advice.

The most common mistake beginners make is stubbornly holding a losing position. They buy, the price drops, and they think they’ll just wait until they break even. The longer they hold, the deeper the loss gets. My habit is to decide before placing an order where I’ll admit I was wrong—that’s my stop-loss.
For example, $SOL is around 95 now. Say you buy here and decide that a drop below 90 means your judgment was wrong. Then place a stop-loss order around 90, and you’ll lose at most about 5% before getting out. Without a stop-loss, if it really drops to 80, you’ll panic.
A stop-loss isn’t admitting defeat; it’s protecting your capital. And don’t set it too close to the current price. With a large-cap coin like $BTC , a 1% move up or down in a day is perfectly normal, so if your stop is too tight, you can easily get stopped out by the price swinging back and forth.
Ripple's monthly 1 billion $XRP escrow unlock was released today as usual, in two batches of 500 million each. Many people panic when they see 1 billion, but based on the habits of the past 12 months, roughly 70% is relocked by Ripple, and only about 300 million actually remains in circulation.
What's a bit unusual is that the two 500 million unlocks in October are still sitting in Ripple's own wallet and haven't been moved at all. $XRP is currently around 1.257, with basically no movement over the past 24 hours. I'll first watch how much gets relocked over the next few days before judging whether there's any selling pressure.
$BTC This afternoon, it finally broke above 78000. The 4 p.m. hourly candle pushed straight up to 78285, and it’s now around 78260, up 1.1% over the past 24 hours. At noon, it was still grinding below 78000, but this time it looks like it’s managed to get above it.
$BNB also performed pretty well, at around 714, up 1.7%. Weekend trading volume is still relatively light. I’ll be watching to see whether 78000 can turn into support. If it holds on a retest, then I’ll look higher; if it falls back below, we’re still in the previous range. This is not financial advice.
One of the easiest ways for beginners to lose money when placing an order is to click “Market” without thinking twice. A market order buys immediately at the best price currently available in the order book. It’s fast, but when the market is moving sharply or a small-cap coin has a thin order book, you might pay quite a bit more than the price you saw.
With a limit order, you set the price yourself, and it only fills if the market reaches that price. For example, if $BNB is around 705 now and you’d be more comfortable buying near 700, you can place a buy order at 700 and wait. If the price doesn’t drop that low, the order won’t fill—and you won’t lose anything.
Personally, when I’m not in a hurry, I usually use limit orders for major coins. Market orders are occasionally fine for deep-liquidity coins like $BTC, but I try to avoid chasing small-cap coins with market orders.
Over the weekend, $BTC only slowly made its way to 78000, while $MORPHO managed to break out on its own. It rose a little over 10% in 24 hours, peaking at 2.51 before settling back to around 2.33. It fell to around $2 in October, so this time it’s a V-shaped rebound.
There’s no clear positive catalyst in sight for now, though trading volume was considerably higher than usual. A few days ago, CCI, Bitwise, Galaxy, and Morpho jointly submitted a regulatory framework for crypto treasuries to the SEC. There’s quite a bit of resistance above 2.5. I generally don’t chase this kind of spike-and-pullback move—I’d rather wait for a retest and see if it holds.
$BTC It’s been inching up all morning, from around 77500 early on to about 77830 now. It’s up 0.8% over the past 24 hours, with a high of 77897—just shy of 78000. $ETH is a little stronger, around 2267, up 1.2%.
Volume is still light, like it usually is on weekends, and the gains have been pretty gradual. I’ll keep an eye on 78000 at noon. If it breaks above and holds with a surge in volume, then we’ll see; if it just touches that level and turns back, I’ll keep viewing it as range-bound. This is not financial advice.
Many newcomers choose coins by looking at the price per coin. They think a coin that costs just a few cents is cheap, and that if it rises to a dollar, it’ll have gained more than tenfold. But the price per coin tells you almost nothing. What really matters is market cap—the price per coin multiplied by the circulating supply.
Compare $DOGE and $BTC . DOGE currently costs less than ten cents per coin, but there are over a hundred billion coins in circulation, so its market cap is by no means small. Doubling its price would require an amount of money comparable to what it takes to move a large-cap coin. $BTC costs over $70,000 per coin, but its total supply is only 21 million coins.
So don’t assume a coin will rise quickly just because it looks cheap. I’d check its market cap and circulating supply first, then consider whether it’s worth the price.
The board of Nasdaq-listed Next Technology (NXTT) has just approved a move: it can sell its approximately 5,833 $BTC in batches or use them as collateral to raise financing, worth around $450 million at current prices. The stated reasons were recent exchange security incidents and the risks posed by quantum computing.
This is only an authorization, though; so far, there have been no records of any sales or collateralization. Even if the entire amount were dumped on the market, it wouldn’t be that large: U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw $640 million in outflows in a single day on October 30. I’ll first see whether it files any official documents after the U.S. market opens on Monday, and who it sells to.
$BTC 10 The monthly candle just closed, opening at 83600 and closing at 77582, down a little over 7% for the month. It reached a high of 87200, but gave all of that back, closing near the bottom of its monthly range. $ETH looks even worse, falling from 2686 to 2255, down around 16% for the month.
The new month opened and has been moving sideways around 77500. I’m mainly watching two levels from here: October’s low of 76300—if that breaks, the monthly downtrend will likely continue. On the upside, the first thing to watch is whether it can reclaim and hold around 78000. With the monthly candle closing like this, I’m in no hurry to buy the dip. This is not financial advice.
$BTC was still hovering around 77500 tonight, up about 0.2% for the day. It briefly touched a high of 78100, while the low was still the 76300-plus level from earlier today. Since this afternoon, it has mostly moved back and forth between 77100 and 77700, without establishing a clear direction.
$ETH was relatively steady, around 2248, up less than 1% for the day. Trading on a weekend evening is usually quiet, so I’ll keep watching to see whether it can hold above 78000. If it can’t, it’ll remain range-bound. This is not investment advice.
Coinbase’s Q3 results are out. Net income was $719 million, up 66% year over year. Trading fees fell 43% to about $590 million, but unrealized gains on crypto assets held came to around $715 million, while annualized revenue from prediction markets also topped $200 million, supporting profits.
Being able to stay profitable through a cold spot market thanks to its crypto holdings and new businesses shows that Coinbase isn’t entirely reliant on transaction fees. However, unrealized gains are still tied to $BTC $ETH , so this part of the business could also fluctuate if the market weakens.
$BTC is still chopping around in the 77,300–77,500 range this afternoon. Since noon, it hasn't really moved in either direction; it's down less than 1% over 24 hours. $ETH is holding up, currently just above 2,240 and slightly up; relatively weaker is $SOL , down nearly 2%, around 95.
Weekend afternoon volume is average, so I’d rather wait during this kind of sideways movement. The key is whether it can get back above 78,000; if it can’t hold there, it’ll remain range-bound. This is not financial advice.
People always ask what the real difference is between spot and futures. The way I see it, in one sentence: with spot, you actually buy and own the coins; with futures, you're betting on whether the price will go up or down.
If spot drops by half, the coins are still in your account—as long as you can ride it out, you're fine. With 10x leverage on a futures position, if the market moves against you by around 10%, your margin is gone, and you don't even get the chance to ride it out. Perpetual futures also have funding rates, so holding a position overnight comes at a cost—and if you're on the wrong side, you have to pay up.
I've seen way too many people learn this lesson the hard way on their very first futures trade. If you've just started out and want to try $BTC $ETH , practice with spot for a few months first. There's really no rush.
U.S. spot $SOL ETFs have now seen net outflows for five consecutive trading days. On October 30, they recorded $10.74 million in outflows, most of it from Bitwise’s BSOL, which saw $9.26 million leave. Spot ETFs for $XRP, $LINK, and ZEC also had net outflows that day, while most other altcoin ETFs were largely inactive.
The amount itself isn’t that large: cumulative net inflows into SOL ETFs still stand at $1.47 billion. But five consecutive days of outflows suggest institutional appetite for altcoins has been fairly subdued this week, in line with broader market sentiment.
I’ll first watch for outflows to stop before considering what to do with $SOL. Source: TokenPost, SoSoValue #SOL
$BTC is now around 77,200, down about 1.4% over the past 24 hours. Yesterday it plunged from just above 80,000, hitting a low of a little over 76,300 in the early hours today. Since then, it’s been hovering around 77,000.
I’m mainly watching two levels: whether it can hold around 76,300 below; if that breaks, sentiment could stay weak for a while longer. Above, 78,000 to 78,800 is where yesterday’s rebound stalled. Unless it gets back above that range, the market is still in a weak, choppy phase. $ETH is holding up better, basically flat around 2,240.
Weekend trading volume is usually average, so I don’t really want to chase it in the middle of the range. I’ll wait and see which way it goes. This is not financial advice.
If you're new to crypto, make sure you understand one thing before placing an order: market orders and limit orders are not the same.
A market order means “I want it now, at any price.” It fills quickly, but when the market is volatile, the actual execution price may be quite a bit worse than what you saw. That’s called slippage. With a limit order, you set the price yourself—for example, if you want to buy at a certain price, place an order for $BNB and wait. If the price doesn’t reach your limit, the order won’t fill. You might miss out, but you won’t overpay.
Aside from when I need to stop a loss urgently, I basically always use limit orders. Major coins like $BTC and $SOL have good order-book depth, so market-order slippage isn’t too bad. Lesser-known small-cap coins have thin order books, so really, don’t just hit the market-order button.
NYSE parent ICE is partnering with TradeXYZ to bring Hyperliquid-based perpetual contracts to the U.S. ICE will handle operations and clearing, while the underlying technology will use Hyperliquid’s HIP-3. Regulatory approval is still pending, of course.
The day the news broke, the whole market was down, but $HYPE surged 15%.
A traditional finance giant stepping in to take on on-chain perpetuals carries more weight than most short-term news. But regulatory approval is still a long way off, so I’m just keeping an eye on it for now.
