Odaily News DiscusFish, co-founder of Cobo & F2pool, posted on the X platform stating that Bitcoin has fallen nearly 15% this week. When the Bitcoin price reaches $75,000, a single miner with a power consumption of 23.3W/T will reach its breakeven point (i.e., the shutdown price).
Odaily News According to a post by Zhu Su, founder of Three Arrows Capital (3AC), based on his past experience, "selling at the top" is often riskier than selling during a decline. This is because the excitement from successfully exiting at the peak can easily lead to prematurely re-entering positions and overconfidence.
Zhu Su further pointed out that he suspects Garrett, after earning hundreds of millions of dollars from the 10/10 event, may have been similarly affected by such hubris, leading him to take on higher risks in subsequent trades.
Odaily News According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the 7 Siblings whale (0x741...31f3, 0x28a...a6b0) recently purchased an additional 6,820 ETH with 15 million USDT.

Odaily News Yili Hua posted on the X platform, stating that first, it must be acknowledged: since clearing positions at the top, being prematurely bullish on ETH was indeed a mistake, because while BTC was around $100,000, ETH remained at $3,000, which we considered undervalued. Currently, profits from the previous round have been realized. Positions determine the mindset. While controlling risks, we continue to wait for the market to move upward. Thank you for your concern. Investment and trading are the most difficult; being in the industry, one always can't help but be bullish at all times.

Odaily News On Monday, commodity markets experienced a broad decline, led by gold, silver, crude oil, and industrial metals. CBA commodity strategist Vivek Dhar stated, "The market decided to sell off precious metals alongside US stocks, indicating investors perceive Powell as more hawkish. Furthermore, a strengthening US dollar has also exerted pressure on precious metals and other commodities including crude oil and base metals." However, he maintains his forecast for gold to reach $6000 in the fourth quarter. Asian stock markets followed US stock futures sharply lower, with the chaotic sell-off in precious metals adding a tense atmosphere to the start of a week packed with corporate earnings, central bank meetings, and economic data. Dhar commented, "The key question is whether this marks the beginning of a structural decline in commodity prices or is merely a correction. We view this as an adjustment and a buying opportunity, not a shift in fundamentals." (Jin10)

Odaily News Barclays Bank interest rate strategists forecast in a research report that the U.S. Treasury Department will maintain the issuance size of interest-bearing bonds unchanged in the next quarter and throughout fiscal year 2026. Analyst Dhiraj Narula noted that this prediction aligns with previous policy guidance, meaning the issuance volume has remained stable for a full two years since the last increase from February to April 2024. Narula emphasized in the report that the underlying fiscal situation in the United States remains severe. He pointed out: "The nearly $2 trillion annual deficit continues to put pressure on the U.S. Treasury Department regarding debt issuance." While the scale is currently expected to remain unchanged, Narula cautioned that the U.S. Treasury Department stated last November that it had "begun preliminary considerations for potentially increasing" auction sizes in the future. Therefore, the upcoming quarterly refunding announcement may reveal the latest progress on these expansion plans. (Jin10)
