Markets, macro, crypto, forex & tech: what happened, why it matters, what’s next.

@BullTheoryio Great list. Crypto traders get a bonus boss level: ~$11.1B in BTC options expire on Friday, same day as the BoJ.

BTC is already at ~$80K after 84% of liquidations were longs on Oct 24. Warsh, earnings or the yen: which one flushes it first? 👀

Крипта додає до цього списку шостий пункт: п’ятниця, 30 жовтня, експірація ≈$11,1 млрд BTC-опціонів на Deribit (max pain $78K) — у той же день, що й рішення BoJ.

BTC уже біля $80K після $821 млн ліквідацій 24 жовтня (84% — лонги). Який з п’яти пунктів б’є по ньому першим: Warsh, звітність чи єна?

@NodePrint Fair, I'll give you the timing. 😄 But now the line is being tested live: a few hours under $80K already, and the daily close is the only vote that counts.

So what's the bulls' line, $81.8K (50-day) or something higher?

@airadar_1 Agreed. Funny part: the decision is basically priced in (~93% hold). The real trade is whether the Fed tone makes December a hike.

So are you watching the rate or the press conference? 👀

Three dates to mark in crypto this week:

Oct 26: Glamsterdam on the Hoodi testnet (Ethereum)
Oct 28: Fed decision, rate at 3.75–4.00%
Oct 30: monthly BTC and ETH options expiry

Bookmark it so you don't miss them. Fed: another hike or a pause? 👇

84% of liquidations in the last 24 hours were longs. $687M out of $821M. 🔥

Bitcoin is barely holding $80,000, and the Fed decides on Wednesday.

The question isn’t about the market, it’s about you. Where do the liquidated go?

A — Top-up. I just need to win it back
B — Back to work. Saving for the next entry
C — Not me. I’m only watching
Honest answers only.

@airadar_1 A Terminator with a joystick is the safest apocalypse scenario 😄 I'd watch. But the real league starts when the pilots are gone and the best code wins. Are you team piloted or team autonomous?

@cryptorover "BlackRock is selling Bitcoin" isn't quite what happened. Clients are redeeming IBIT: -$110M on Oct 23. Across all BTC ETFs, $773M left in two days, one of them the biggest outflow since June. Yet the week is still net positive (~$228M). Panic or rotation?

@WatcherGuru The move landed right on the support levels analysts flagged this week: BTC ~$80K, ETH ~$2,330, SOL ~$100. Leveraged long liquidations are a repeat of Oct 6 ($487M). The Fed decision on Oct 28 is next. Flush complete or just the start?

One year after the peak. BTC sits near $84K, about a third below its record above $126K. ETH is over 45% below its ~$4,946 high. Yet spot BTC ETFs pulled in $2.4B in one week in September, their best since Oct 2025. Bottom or pause?

Metaplanet sold 10,000 BTC in Q3, then bought back 11,000 BTC to “demonstrate liquidity”. Smart treasury management or just a show? Where do you land?

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has called for the development of a plan to utilize cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to counter potential financial sanctions.

This step demonstrates that digital assets are increasingly being viewed at the state level not just as an investment tool, but as a strategic element of economic security and protection against geopolitical risks.

A whale transferred $326.9M in BTC to Binance and Deribit
The whale sent:
• $163.6M BTC to Binance
• $163.3M BTC to Deribit

Potential local market crash: The market often reacts to such news with panic ("whales are dumping Bitcoin"), which can trigger a cascade of leveraged long liquidations.

SK Hynix cancels US IPO of its subsidiary Solidigm
The Nasdaq listing could have raised around $10 billion, but shareholders opposed the move due to the risk of share dilution.
Against this backdrop, SK Hynix shares fell by 8%, and the company will now have to look for alternative funding sources to develop Solidigm.

Watch shareholder sentiment: This event highlights the growing power of minority shareholders in protecting their value against dilution. It’s a positive sign for corporate governance, even if it causes short-term volatility.

🇺🇸 Trump accuses Iran of trying to drive up oil prices ahead of US elections

Donald Trump stated that Iran is allegedly doing everything possible to raise global oil prices ahead of the US midterm elections.

According to him, Tehran is even "making up attacks, mines, and other incidents," even though more oil is currently passing through the Strait of Hormuz than before the conflict began.

Trump also accused the Iranian authorities of brutally suppressing protests and stated that about 75,000 protesters have been killed over the past seven months. Separately, he criticized the international community and the US Democratic Party for what he views as an insufficient response to the events in Iran.
