1. BTC rebounds to a short-term high

The daily K line chart of BTC shows that BTC prices have shown clear signs of recovery recently. On October 25 and 26, they rose by 3.8% and 3.4% respectively. The price market performance is relatively balanced and has reached the highest level since September 14. Therefore, it is of great benefit to the release of short-term pressure. During the period of price recovery, the daily trading volume of BTC effectively increased, further promoting the price to be better. ETH and other mainstream currencies rose with the rebound of BTC, and the market performance was relatively strong.

2. A large number of short positions of BTC

Due to the frequent horizontal adjustment of BTC in the early stage, the short contract positions were largely concentrated in the price range of $21000 to $19000. Therefore, even if BTC's short-term rise is not high, it still causes a large number of short positions to explode. In terms of the absolute value of short positions, 16143 and 15983 BTCs were blown out on October 25 and 26, respectively, with a value of 320 million dollars and 319 million dollars calculated at 20000 dollars. In terms of absolute position bursting, it has reached the highest value since December 2020. Therefore, the basis for BTC's strong short-term performance still exists.

3. ETH performs best in a month

The bottom characteristics of ETH prices have been strengthening since two consecutive trading days. In terms of trading volume, the volume was increased on October 25 and 26 for two consecutive trading days, which is very effective for price coordination. Therefore, in judging the growth expectation, we can judge the low absorption opportunities according to the bottom pattern since September 16. In the vicinity of $1500, the ETH price will remain strong when the support is effective, and further increase can focus on the breakthrough performance after selling pressure and digestion.

4. ETH long short ratio rebounds obviously

The recent price rebound of ETH has been synchronized with the counter attack of contract bulls, especially during the rally of contract long short ratio, which has verified the typical bullish signal. On October 23 and 25, the long short ratio rose to the high of 1.129 and 1.092. That is to say, the counter attack of the contract bulls was relatively ahead. As early as October 23, the long short ratio had reached the highest value since January 26, 2020. Therefore, ETH may maintain a strong momentum in the short term after the strength of its bulls has increased explosively recently.

5. DOGE short-term counter attack

After the short-term surge of DOGE, the 4-hour K chart shows that the price has continued to show very obvious signs of callback. The short-term recovery of trading volume in the same period means that the selling pressure has been released relatively fully. More investors sell DOGE in the price range of 0.74 to 0.83.

On the news side, after Musk became the leader of Twitter recently, the discussion about the use of DOGE for payment also heated up again. Before that, Musk had proposed the idea of opening Twitter to accept payment with dog currency. In April this year, he tweeted, "Maybe you can choose to pay with dog currency?", Matt Wallace, a dog coin supporter who had more than 630000 Twitter followers at that time, immediately agreed and replied, "Dog coin is sprayed on the moon.".

In the short term, DOGE rebounded with the BTC price, and the transaction heat increased significantly. Next, we can focus on the support effect above US $0.7.

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Dan Koe's New Essay: Escaping the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive the AI Replacement Wave?

Dan Koe argues that the true threat in the AI era isn't technology itself, but a reliance on others for one's livelihood and happiness. The core problem is "wage slavery"—spending life on unfulfilling work. To survive and thrive, one must escape this by building their own enterprise. The key is developing five elements: Agency (initiative), Taste (discernment), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. These boil down to problem-solving skills and experiential knowledge, which cannot be learned passively but only through doing your own projects. The solution is to become "unemployable" by shifting your identity. This requires: 1) Radically changing your environment to force growth, 2) Choosing a medium (like content creation) that provides real feedback through trial and error, and 3) Mastering either code or, preferably, media (content). Content creation is more valuable because its subjective nature and need for human perspective create a durable advantage over generic AI output. To start, define your life's work by answering foundational questions about your innate knowledge, unique abilities, and contrarian beliefs. Then, immediately act by publishing your first piece of content. The cycle of creating, receiving feedback, and iterating is the essential path to developing the skills needed for an independent, meaningful career and financial resilience.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.
