Why did Rave rebound so significantly again?
The essence of this rebound is not a "comeback of the king," but a typical "self-rescue" and "short squeeze" market.
First, the exchanges are "closing the door to beat the dog."
Yesterday, Bitget suddenly suspended the ERC20 deposit service for RAVE. This move was ruthless, directly blocking the "ammunition" for those wanting to short.
The market makers seized this opportunity, driving the price up at a very low cost, specifically targeting the shorts that entered at high levels. The ones that got liquidated were those positions that were not well-prepared, combined with a volatility of 193% yesterday, leading to a bloodbath for both longs and shorts.
Second, the investigation remains unresolved, leading to a price increase for offloading.
Although Binance and Bitget have announced investigations into insider manipulation, the results are not yet out, which is the biggest uncertainty. Data shows that 90% of RAVE's tokens are still locked in three team wallets.
Today's price action, which surged to $1.30 and then dropped back to $0.63, along with a massive trading volume of $270 million, is likely the team taking advantage of the remaining liquidity, using reserve funds to market make, attracting bottom-fishers to take over, while they prepare to cash out and run.
Third, market sentiment mismatch.
BTC surged to $75,000, providing fertile ground for altcoins to "dance wildly." However, for RAVE, which has plummeted from $28 to a mere 3% of its value, the fundamentals are already rotten.
In summary:
For coins like this that are "locking deposits and investigating insider trading," the objective conclusion is: the bearish trend has not reversed, and there is still significant outflow on-chain. This bullish candle is meant to help trapped longs, not to serve as your entry ticket. In the short term, you might gamble on a rebound, but don't take it seriously.

#10月加息预期回落，今晚PCE成关键
This Bitcoin rollercoaster is purely smart money offloading.
The PCE came out with a core of 3.0%, lower than expected, and Bitcoin immediately surged to 85000. But the US stock market dropped as soon as it opened.
Where's the detail? On-chain data already revealed it. Short-term holders' unrealized profits soared to 33%, the highest since the end of 2024; on September 22 alone, 25,700 BTC were sold for profit-taking. ETF inflows are indeed still ongoing, with a net purchase of 3.1 billion over 9 consecutive days, but these are institutional long-term allocations, not short-term buying.
Liquidation data is even clearer: 261 million liquidated in 24 hours, with shorts liquidated for 134 million. After shorts were blown up by the PCE, longs immediately started to run.
The smart money's moves are very clear: after the good news is fully priced in, they leave first. Spot demand has been negative over the past 30 days, and futures speculative demand crashed from 164,000 BTC to 16,000.
#10月加息预期回落，今晚PCE成关键
Bitcoin stuck at 84,000, is tonight's PCE going to trigger a short squeeze or a crash?
Current price fluctuates around 83,000, the 84,000-85,000 wall is packed with long-term holders' coins and sell orders, tried twice but couldn't break through.
There's a divergence signal on-chain: the fear and greed index surged to 74, very greedy, but BTC dominance actually dropped to 53.8%—money is flowing out, not in.
ETFs were indeed strong last week, with 2.39 billion injected in one week, but got more cautious later, only 130 million left on Friday. Smart money's long position ratio is 1.47, retail 1.39, both betting on direction, but no one dares to move first.
Core PCE expected at 0.3%, if tonight it really hits above 0.3%, long-term rates will soar again, breaking 82,500, then the max pain zone is down around 60,000.
The US says it is ending the inherent resolve operation in Iraq
But the Pentagon immediately added: it will continue training and providing intelligence to Iraq. In plain terms — the troops are withdrawing, but the eyes are not
Don’t rush to say that US-Iran talks have landed; this looks more like the US switching to a cost-saving strategy: not occupying land, but still able to keep an eye on you
Iran and militias feel they have won, Iraq celebrates sovereignty, but ISIS still exists, so who will fill the security vacuum?
This chess game in the Middle East is not over, it has just changed tactics
After QNT's accelerated surge: Long or short?
Conclusion first: Short-term bearish, but don't get carried away.
After the TCH partnership news, QNT surged from 60 to 373, more than tripling in a week. The problem is this rally didn't bring real token demand—banks using this network don't need to buy QNT, and the news fuel has mostly burned out.
On-chain signals are straightforward. Two whales silent for over 3 years transferred $9.93 million worth of QNT to exchanges during the rally, and the founder's related wallet moved 6.97 million after 7 years. Whales are selling, retail investors are buying; you know this script.
Technically, RSI is above 82, extremely overbought. $227 is a key level; if broken, look at $165 or even $115.
My approach: Try a small short position in the 260-280 range on the rebound, with a stop loss set above 300. Downside first target is 227.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据
US Stock Market Analysis: Long-term yields exploded, tech stocks held firm, tonight's PCE is the last piece of the puzzle
At Tuesday's close, the three major indices appeared calm on the surface, but there were underlying currents. The S&P fell 0.17%, the Dow dropped 0.26%, and the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.21% against the trend. Optical communications and semiconductors held the scene, with LITE up over 5%, Corning and Mywell up over 4%. But the 30-year US Treasury yield hit 5.62%, the highest since 2002.
There are three macro issues, each more intense than the last.
Williams took a dovish stance, saying "no rush," with October rate hike expectations dropping from 70% to 51%. But Bullard immediately contradicted, saying the path to 2% inflation is already off track. Fed insiders are fighting among themselves. Long-term yields are completely unconvinced; Paramount issued 32 billion in bonds, increasing supply pressure, and major buyers have collectively disappeared.
On the oil front, Qatar's mediation plus Saudi pipeline restoration caused Brent to drop below 103 directly. But spot Brent is still hovering around 120, with futures and spot prices diverging wildly.
Tonight at 20:30, PCE data is expected, with core inflation forecast steady at 3.3%. If the data exceeds 0.3%, bets on an October rate hike will immediately rebound, long-term yields will surge again, and tech stocks will have to give back all their gains.

US Stock Market Close Summary: Meta Holds Up the Market, Apple Holds It Back, Tonight's PCE Is the Real Bombshell
Tuesday's US stock market was quite twisted. Among the top trading volumes, gains and losses were mixed. Meta surged 3.24% on a single bullish candle, SpaceX rose 2.59% riding the Starship orbit success, Broadcom and Micron also held steady. But Apple fell 2.66%, Nvidia slightly down 0.72%, Tesla down 1.29%, dragging the three major indexes down hard.
Top five by trading volume, where did the money go?
Meta $738.79, volume $16.9B, OpenAI's launch of Dots directly sparked sentiment. Micron $1065, up 1.05%, volume $20.6B, Wednesday's after-hours earnings report is the main event. SpaceX $149, volume $11.8B, two Wall Street investment banks simultaneously gave buy ratings. Apple $329, down 2.66%, volume $12.5B, new CEO's reform plan triggered market walk-away votes.
Don't sleep too deeply tonight.
8:30 PM PCE data release, core inflation expectations stuck at 3.3% with no decline. Consumer expectations up 0.8%, much higher than last month. The Fed is already arguing internally, Williams says no rush, Bahl says more hikes needed. If data beats expectations, bets on October rate hikes will immediately surge.
#本周迎非农与PCE关键数据
Tonight's PCE: Is it handing the Fed a knife or a stepping stone?
Brothers, the data at 20:30 tonight boils down to one thing: will the core PCE at 3.3% move or not.
The expectations are set: both overall and core month-on-month are 0.3%, year-on-year 3.7% and 3.3%. What does this mean? Inflation is stuck and not moving, still far from 2% by a huge margin. If you were the Fed, would you dare to hit the brakes?
The consumption side is even more troubling. The market expects August spending to rise 0.8%, much more than July. Rising oil prices are one thing, but Bank of America data says even excluding gasoline consumption, spending still rose 5.7%. People complain about prices but keep swiping their credit cards.
Williams softened his tone last night, saying "no rush," and the October rate hike bet dropped directly from 70% to about 50%. But Ball is still firm, saying "no sign of inflation retreat yet." The Fed is fighting among itself.
If tonight's core PCE really hits above 0.3%, that 50% chance of a rate hike will immediately jump up.

Has the probability of a rate hike dropped again? What is the market betting on this time?
A single comment from the New York Fed President cut the October rate hike bet directly from 70% to 50%.
What did Williams say? The meaning is: since there was a hike in September, don’t rush; there might be another one within the year, but it doesn’t have to be in October.
This sounds mild but is actually quite crucial. He is the Fed’s third-ranking official and a permanent voting member, so his words carry weight. The market immediately changed its stance; those who were betting on back-to-back hikes in October now start betting on "skipping October and waiting until December."
But don’t be quick to relax. On the same day, Barr and Goolsbee were still saying: inflation hasn’t come down, hikes still need to happen.
So the current situation is: officials verbally disagree, but the market votes with its feet. The probability of no hike in October is over half, but one hike within the year is basically unavoidable.
The bond market is even more honest. The 30-year US Treasury yield still surged above 5.6%, the highest since 2002. Even the drop in oil prices didn’t help; the market just doesn’t believe inflation will come down on its own.

On the eve of Micron's earnings report: Options are betting on an 8% big swing, what exactly is that AI stock guru who blew up doing—long or short?
Here's the conclusion first: Data is very likely to exceed expectations, but the stock price may not necessarily rise.
Wall Street currently expects Q4 revenue of 51.3 billion and EPS of 31.7, while the company’s own guidance is 50 billion. Institutions generally believe it can beat that, with UBS even seeing 52.4 billion and EPS of 32.5. The fundamentals are indeed solid, with a gross margin guidance of 86%, an unprecedented high in the history of the storage industry.
But the options market tells a different story. Implied volatility shows the market is betting on a ±8% to 10% swing after the earnings. More importantly, the put/call ratio for options expiring on October 2 is 1.7 times, indicating a very strong bearish tilt. In other words, many are buying protection or outright shorting.
The "AI stock guru" you asked about, Leopold Aschenbrenner, did come back after blowing up and losing 35 billion. But his position is completely opposite to what you might think: he cleared all his semiconductor shorts and then put 55% of his position into storage—28% in SanDisk, 27.6% in Micron. He is not shorting; he is going long, and heavily so.
So the situation is this: analysts are bullish on the fundamentals, options traders are buying insurance, and the person who blew up is betting real money on a rebound.
