(CoreWeave/MSTR/storage chain CDS) 📅 FOMC on 10/28 (Barclays bets Fed hikes 25bp in Dec & Jan); Micron/Hynix Q3 earnings late October ━━━ Midday Update (California Time) ━━━ 📊 Crypto Market (extremely low volume stabilization)🟡 BTC $81,452 (+0.56% / 24h), nakapagitan sa $80,998–$81,799, nasa ilalim ng gitnang Bollinger Band, maliit na pagtaas mula sa maagang pagtinda, ang momentum ay nagpapabagal 🔴 ETH $2,414 (+0.67%), patuloy na pinakamahina, nawala ang 200-week MA 🟢 SOL $103.75 (+1.29%), relatiwong mas matibay 📐 Deribatibo 🟡 Maliit na positibong funding rate (BTC +0.0076% / ETH +0.0092%) → maliit na kita ng mga short, hindi pa extremo 🟡 Spot discount -0.135% (halos -$110), kahinaan ng spot ng mga Amerikanong investor 🟡 Fear & Greed Index 55 (moderadong kaligayahan) 📰 Mga Pangunahing Balita 🔴 🛢️ Patuloy na pagpapalawig sa Hormuz: Ang mga pwersang armado ng Iran ay nagbukas ng apoy sa mga barko noong ika-17 ng mga araw na “naglabag” sa pagpapalipad; noong Biyernes, ang pangalawang super tanker ay nakasalubong sa mina, at sinabi ng Iran na “nakapagsara na ang海峡” → WTI ~$99 / Brent malapit sa $110; may mga ulat na isinasaalang-alang ng US ang paggamit ng MOAB, at sinugpo ng IRGC 🔴 Ang pagtaas ng presyo ng langis ay nagpapataas ng mga inaasahang pagtaas ng interest rate (Barclays ay nagtaya na +25bp sa Disyembre at Enero ng susunod na taon) = risk-off, negatibo para sa mga risk asset 🟡 Walang pagtinda sa US stocks sa Sabado (huling closing sa Biyernes: Nasdaq -2.1%, weekly -4.5% / VIX 19.99 / 10Y 5.09% / Ginto $4,164 nasa ilalim ng historical high), patuloy pa rin ang epekto ng deleveraging sa AI 🟡 Humigit-kumulang 800,000 tao sa Pransya ay nagdemo laban sa pagtaas ng gastos sa pamumuhay, 400 ang arestado 🎯 Pagsusuri sa Panahon ng Pagtinda 🟡 Mahina at may maliit na volume: BTC nasa ilalim ng maraming-level na middle band, ETH ang nangunguna sa pagbaba = pangkalahatang negatibo pero hindi pa nagsisimula ang malaking pagbaba. Ang presyo ng langis + inaasahang pagtaas ng interest rate + deleveraging sa AI — tatlong risk-off factors ay patuloy na pinipigil ang anumang pagbabalik. 🧭 Estratehiya: Ang anumang pagbabalik mula sa gitna ng range ay posibilidad para i-reduce o maglagay ng maliit na posisyon para sa short; huwag pagsunod sa oversold. Ang pagbaba sa ibaba ng $80,998 ang magiging trigger para magdagdag ng short. Kung mababawi sa itaas ng $81,800 kasama ang pagtaas ng volume, tignan ang pagbabalik patungo sa middle band. Ilagay ang stop-loss sa lugar kung saan nawawala ang structure, huwag mag-“naked” position. ⚠️ Panganib: Kung ang Hormuz ay magiging totoong blokeado → tataas nang bigla ang presyo ng langis → pangalawang epekto sa inflation at pagtaas ng interest rate; maliit na liquidity sa weekend ay madaling magdulot ng double kill.
