Key events this week that could move $BTC and crypto markets:
📅 Monday - Fed speaks (Powell + Waller). Any hawkish tone = risk-off across the board 📅 Tuesday - US CPI data drops. If hotter than expected, expect volatility 📅 Wednesday - FOMC minutes release. Reading between the lines for rate cut signals 📅 Thursday - Retail sales + Jobless claims. Macro still matters for crypto liquidity 📅 Friday - Options expiry ($BTC + $ETH). Potential for big moves into close
Stay liquid. Macro headwinds are real but dips get bought fast in this cycle. Watch funding rates and open interest closely.
Markets looking shaky heading into November 2nd. $BTC consolidating but alts bleeding harder than expected.
Key levels to watch: - $BTC holding above critical support or we see another leg down - Altcoin dominance getting crushed - Volume drying up = low conviction moves
This feels like pre-volatility compression. Either we bounce hard or capitulation accelerates. Position accordingly.
Not financial advice but if you're overexposed in low-cap alts, might want to derisk into $BTC or stables until we get clarity.
⚠️ PSA for anyone using old iPhones as cold wallets:
Just factory resetting + airplane mode ≠ truly offline.
Apple's Find My and background services can still ping servers even when you think you're air-gapped. Certain iPhone models have persistent network chips that wake up for location services.
If you're storing serious bags on an old device, this is NOT the security flex you think it is.
Real cold storage = hardware wallet or a device with physical kill switches. Don't get rekt by convenience.
Binance just dropped the stats on what happened after withdrawals reopened 👀
Billions flew out in the first 9.5 hours. Exchange published the full breakdown of outflows and what went down during peak traffic.
This is classic post-FUD behavior. Users panic-withdraw, liquidity drains, then things stabilize. Keep an eye on $BTC and $ETH flow patterns — if whales are moving to cold storage vs. selling, that's your signal.
Binance handling the load without breaking is bullish for infrastructure. But if outflows keep accelerating, we might see short-term volatility spike.
