Really wanted 55k bid zone and accepted last week that I'd rather set my final bid for 59.25k and any capital that comes in any lower I can deploy at market rate.
Bidding very logical zones long/short tend is where MMs tend to start front running.
Recent examples of front running zones:
》128-132K Oct 2025
》100-110k Jan 2026
》84-89k last month
Then there are several examples last cycle where people missed out on great entries:
》21-23k Sept 2023
》12-14k Dec 2022
All of the above never came ☝️ and it messed people up.
So yeah, I'll be happy for lower in October, but binance data says we just hit another front running zone recently, 53-58k and below.
Binance plunge protection team is back.
Usually, when large $BTC bids start trailing just below price, MMs and algos tend to front run them temporarily.
I’ve been an $AERO enjoyer for a while now.
It finally seems to be getting its moment in the sun again, but short-term pumps and people yelling on twitter can distort the timeline’s view of what’s actually happening here. I hope this post helps some people look beyond the last 24hrs of green candles and see the larger picture.
Facts:
-Aerodrome is the leading DEX on Base. Its sister protocol, Velodrome, built the same model on Optimism.
-The model is different from most DEXs: ALL protocol revenue flows back to participants in the ecosystem rather than simply accumulating to a company or treasury.
And wherever the “dromes” have operated, they’ve dominated. There isn't a better word to describe their performance where they operate. Currently:
-Aerodrome: 61% of Base DEX volume
-Velodrome: 56% of Optimism DEX volume
On Oct. 21, that same model expands to Ethereum Mainnet, Robinhood Chain, Arbitrum and several others.
Let’s NOT assume they repeat 50-60% market share. Let's cut it in half... Assume 30%.
Here’s the size of the pie today:
Ethereum
~$41.2B/month of DEX volume
30% share = ~$12.4B/month through AERO
≈ $183M/year in gross fees
Robinhood Chain
~$52.1B/month
30% = ~$15.6B/month
≈ $231M/year in gross fees
Arbitrum
~$6.2B/month
30% = ~$1.85B/month
≈ $27M/year in gross fees
Combined:
~$358B/year of additional AERO-routed volume
~$441M/year of gross fees (again, this is ALL passed to aero token lockers)
No assumption that tokenized stocks explode. No assumption that more of global finance moves onchain.
-No bull-market volume expansion.
-No Arc (I'm unsure what this one will become.. could be big, might be noting).
-No Ink (also unsure what this can become).
Currently, the existing Base/OP business
generates roughly $17.5m per month in fees.
At 30% share, Ethereum alone would add roughly that much again.
Robinhood Chain alone would add even more.
Do I think Aero will do better than 30% on these chains? Probably yes. But it doesn't need to, the pie is big enough already.
Good job on coms the last couple of weeks by the team. I know they've been dragged heavily on twitter since Novembers incredibly impressive event... now it's time to have a smooth launch and gobble up some market share.
Rock n roll.
My simple thesis on $TAO
Useful subnets → demand → higher alpha valuations → more emissions → more capital/incentives → better subnets → more demand → more reason to allocate TAO.
10/10
So if you got this far...
Maybe it's time to get in early.
Just know, I will always be working hard to catch the big moves.
Read the reflections.
Read the receipts.
Read the analysis.
It's all here.
And if you want a front-row seat to someone navigating crypto in public, with conviction, transparency and skin in the game...
I'm worth keeping an eye on.
Follow along and see where I position.

You just met me.
You probably know I'm a crypto guy.
Instead of waving trades in your face, I'll show you what I'm about.
Most of my trade set-ups are public, HTF (high timeframe) and in spot (no leverage).
The good calls stay up.
The bad calls stay up.
The adaptations when markets change, stay up.
You be the judge. 🧵

I'm deliberately building my network now.
Not when I have 100K followers.
Not when everyone suddenly wants to know me.
Now.
I want to find the people who are genuinely interested in markets, technology, money and what comes next.
People with their own ideas.
Their own perspective.
Some will become friends.
Some will become collaborators.
Some will just be interesting people I wouldn't otherwise have met.
That's the point.
@bitrebelution We've attempted to break this resistance before in Nov 2025.
Let's see what happens, either way buying the retest is also sensible.

"is this move any different?".... "fake pump?"
I can tell you this.
1W momentum, if it closes up here, looks different.
Technically we've reached this high momentum point before, huge weekly RSI spike in Nov 2025.
We all remember, 10/10 happened, BTC topped and the rest is history.
Flash forward to today, almost a year later.
Line this up with #TOTAL3 and BTC;)
I make it my mission to share what I'm seeing so yah.
$tao holders have the set up.
Smart money is positioned.
Let's see what this cheeky AI coin can do.
