Odaily News: Trader Killa stated on X platform that Bitcoin short-term holder (STH) supply recently reached "overheated" levels, a situation similar to the price action in 2023 after the market broke away from the macro bottom, potentially serving as another signal of market bottom formation.Killa pointed out that after Bitcoin short-term holder supply reached similar highs in 2023, BTC price continued to rise and maintained an uptrend in higher timeframe (HTF) trends. The current market structure is quite similar to previous cycles, and investors should not overly rely on the Fear and Greed Index to judge market direction. Killa stated that market sentiment may remain irrational for extended periods, and short-term sentiment indicators do not necessarily reflect long-term trends.
CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that the market absorbed 220,374 BTC last week, while exchange net flows remained negative at -3,863 BTC.He noted that despite the relatively high volume of Bitcoin inflows to exchanges, the net outflow data indicates that buy-side demand still outweighs sell-side pressure, suggesting that some funds are absorbing market supply.
Odaily News: Crypto trader Ansem posted on X platform stating that over the past few years, crypto assets have performed at historically low levels relative to other asset classes, primarily due to factors including talent flowing into the AI industry, insufficient innovation following the DeFi boom, and gold undergoing a massive value reassessment. Combined with the large-scale liquidation event in the altcoin market on October 10 last year, both institutional and retail sentiment and positioning allocation toward altcoins are currently at multi-year lows, potentially even hitting historic lows.On the other hand, some altcoins currently possess characteristics such as reduced VC selling pressure, genuine product-market fit (PMF) built on crypto infrastructure, and benefits from an improving regulatory environment. Additionally, the massive paper gains generated by the AI supercycle could serve as a potential source of capital. He predicts that future market capital will become more concentrated in a select few tokens with fundamental support, and once these tokens attract buying interest, their prices could rise rapidly.
Odaily News: For most of this year, South Korea has been a poster child for the global AI boom. Now, by almost every measure, Korean stocks are rapidly losing investor attention. Market trading volume has plunged 70% from its late-May peak, foreign investors are pulling out quickly, and South Korea's local retail investors are also retreating. Behind this reversal is the Korean stock market's excessive reliance on Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.Phillip Wool, head of portfolio management at Rayliant Global Advisors, said: "I think for most investors, especially those who only recently entered the Korean market because of the memory chip trade, the biggest challenge is that the easy money in this theme has already been made." He said his fund has been taking profits on Korean AI stocks and is currently underweight SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. Richard Tang of Bank Julius Baer said: "We are observing that capital is increasingly flowing back to US stocks, which has led to continued foreign outflows from Korean stocks. (BusinessTimes)
Odaily News: Bitcoin fell to $80,350 on Thursday before rebounding, climbing back above $83,000 at the Friday U.S. stock market open and subsequently fluctuating around $82,500. The rolling 24-hour cryptocurrency liquidation amount had previously exceeded $1 billion. Despite news circulating that Ledger hardware wallet users' funds were stolen, the crypto market has not yet shown significant selling pressure.Analysts suggest that before the U.S. CPI data is released on October 14, Bitcoin may remain range-bound, with the main trading range between $81,300 and $86,500, and could repeatedly test $84,000. The market is also watching whether Bitcoin can hold the key level of $82,500 before the weekly close. (Cointelegraph)
Odaily News: Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X platform that over the past 100 years, only 4% of stocks have contributed to all net wealth gains in the US market, and about half of companies have underperformed US Treasuries, so the lack of market breadth has always existed. Microsoft and Google each acquired 270 companies. He stated that these large companies are more like small nations, and investors should perhaps view the "Magnificent Seven" as the "Magnificent 700," as what currently leads the S&P 500 may be hundreds of companies.
Odaily News: According to Hunter Biden monitoring, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Biden, posted the independent investigation results of the LAPTOP token launch incident, stating that he had commissioned forensic firm Groom Lake to verify all transactions on the day of launch. He denied that the team cashed out, saying that the founder tokens remain concentrated in the same wallet and have not been transferred since launch; his personal tokens have been locked for six months and will then be released over two years. He cited the investigation as saying that Market Maker 1 had $500,000 in startup capital, but only injected about $5,200 and fewer than 30,000 tokens into the liquidity pool, with the latter accounting for only 0.003% of the total supply. Extremely low liquidity caused the price to rise from $0.05 to about $317 in less than two minutes, then fall 98% within one hour. Eighty-four seconds after the price peaked, Market Maker 1 withdrew funds during the sell-off, reducing the funds available near the current price to absorb selling from $16,200 to zero. He said Market Maker 1 made about $686,000 in profit from its DEX position, while Market Maker 2 netted more than $2.1 million from related DEX trades, and argued that the market makers responsible for the launch problems should buy back and burn tokens. He said he bears ultimate responsibility, will not exit the project, and plans next week to burn most of the unclaimed tokens from the first airdrop; that airdrop accounted for 10% of the total supply.
According to CoinDesk, volatility in the U.S. Treasury market continues to rise, while Bitcoin and U.S. stock market volatility remain at year-to-date lows. Market analysts warn that turmoil in the bond market may gradually spill over into risk assets.
Odaily report: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted on X with a chart, stating that compared to the end of August, the Bitcoin market trend has shown a clear shift, which can be observed from changes in the Capital Cost Basis. This metric calculates a weighted realized price based on transaction volume (USD), giving higher weight to BTC purchased at higher prices, thereby more accurately reflecting the actual cost of market capital.Data shows that at the end of August, BTC was still struggling near this key level, but Bitcoin has now closed above the capital cost basis of approximately $80,400 for several consecutive weeks. This means that most of the capital invested in the market is now in slight profit. As investor positions gradually turn profitable, market stability is strengthening by the day, which is a positive signal for the current BTC consolidation phase.
Odaily News - Crypto analyst Axel Adler posted that Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) have reduced their holdings for the 7th consecutive week, but this has not yet hindered BTC price appreciation, as the market is still absorbing the supply released by long-term holders.Data shows that the long-term holder position change indicator remained positive from February to early August this year, with long-term holders accumulating approximately 1.2 million BTC in May. The indicator turned negative on August 17 and has been in a state of reduction for 7 consecutive weeks. As of September 28, the long-term holder position change showed a decrease of 73,400 BTC, expanding from a decrease of 1,100 BTC a week earlier.Axel Adler noted that compared to the approximately 1.07 million BTC reduced by long-term holders in November 2025, the current scale of reduction remains relatively limited. If long-term holders' reductions reach hundreds of thousands of BTC again in the future while BTC price stops rising, it may signal that the market's capacity to absorb supply is declining.Additionally, the long-term holder SOPR indicator has now been above 1 for the second consecutive week, indicating that long-term holders are taking profits. On September 21, the indicator rose to 1.24, the highest level since January this year; as of September 28, LTH SOPR stood at 1.18, meaning that BTC being moved has realized approximately 18% in realized profit relative to its cost basis. Current data shows that long-term holders are gradually exiting with profits as BTC price rises, while new demand is still able to absorb the supply released by the market.
Odaily News: Bitcoin is facing selling pressure, marking its third rejection near $87,000 since September 23. FxPro analyst Alex Kuptsikevich noted that since early last week, BTC has formed a pattern of "rising local lows," but bulls have yet to gain sufficient upward momentum. The price is now approaching the apex of a triangle formed by horizontal resistance and an ascending support line. A breakout from this pattern could bring greater volatility to the market.The total crypto market capitalization has fallen back to approximately $2.93 trillion. Meanwhile, U.S. equities have shown relative strength, with the Nasdaq 100 hitting a record closing high and the S&P 500 less than 0.5% away from its all-time high. However, U.S. Treasury yields continue to climb, with the 10-year yield rising to 5.32%, near its highest level since 2002.Market observers believe that for BTC to break through $87,000, sufficient buying pressure is needed to absorb the persistent selling near that level. Once it holds above this threshold, it could open further upside toward its near 8-month high. (CoinDesk)
Odaily Report: Crypto analyst Darkfost posted on X platform that the Bitcoin Bull Score Index remains in a clearly bullish zone, currently at 80/100, with multiple indicators continuing to support BTC's upward momentum.Darkfost noted that the only relatively lagging factor at present is spot demand. As previously observed, spot trading volume in the market remains low, so there is not yet any notable spot buying demand at this stage. He believes that spot demand is the key missing factor in the current BTC market trend, and this component is often the last piece to fall into place.
Odaily News: According to Onchain Lens monitoring, GSR continues to sell LINK. After receiving tokens from Gnosis Safe, it transferred 303,010 LINK ($4.29 million) to Binance. Two days ago, the same wallet transferred 275,000 LINK ($3.96 million) to Binance. Over the past two days, a total of 578,010 LINK (approximately $8.25 million) has been transferred to Binance.
Renowned trader Ansem posted a question to the community: "Aside from USD and BTC, how many tokens can you name that have still hit all-time highs after surviving a full bull-bear cycle?" Crypto KOL @0xaporia compiled findings showing that, excluding BTC, only 8 tokens meet the criteria of "ranked in the top 100 by market cap in 2021 and hit new all-time highs in 2025." Excluding wrapped assets, these include only BNB, XRP, TRX, LEO, and OKB.
CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on X platform stating that the ratio of Meme coin market cap to altcoin market cap has dropped to 0.027, with Meme coins' market cap share relative to altcoins falling to 3%.As altcoins continue to outperform Meme coins, the gap between the two has further widened. The increasing number of Meme coins has also further dispersed the available liquidity in this sector.
Odaily reports: CryptoQuant on-chain analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin (BTC) is currently clearly dominated by futures trading, with the ratio of Binance spot-to-futures trading volume at approximately 0.12, meaning futures account for roughly 90% of trading volume. Meanwhile, Binance BTC open interest fell from $10.6 billion to $9.2 billion over the past week, but spot demand remains weak, preventing the ratio from improving.Darkfost noted that the current rally is primarily driven by the futures market, and spot buying remains the missing piece. If spot demand fails to follow through, this rally could become unstable.

According to disclosures from the Michael Burry Stock Tracker, Michael Burry, the real-life inspiration behind "The Big Short," stated on his Substack platform that weekend research has led him to believe the artificial intelligence bubble may soon accelerate its collapse. He disclosed his latest position adjustments: closing short positions include short stakes in Micron ($MU), Nebius ($NBIS), Caterpillar ($CAT), the Semiconductor ETF ($SOXX), Nvidia ($NVDA), Oracle ($ORCL), and CoreWeave ($CRWV); opening new short positions involves initiating a short on MetLife ($MET); and adding to and adjusting long positions includes expanding his Palantir ($PLTR) position, rolling his QQQ stake into a larger Nasdaq ($NDX) position, and increasing holdings in Sprouts Farmers Market ($SFM) and QXO ($QXO).
Odaily reports: Cryptocurrency exchange Binance recorded net outflows of more than 13,800 BTC on September 22, the largest single-day net outflow since 2023. At prices at the time, the assets were worth about $1.15 billion. Binance's Bitcoin reserves fell from about 705,000 BTC to about 685,000 BTC within four days, a decline of about 20,000 BTC, worth about $1.66 billion.On-chain analyst Darkfrost said Binance's Bitcoin outflows are part of a broader accumulation trend, with some investors choosing to self-custody their Bitcoin. The outflows may also be related to institutional custody, internal wallet management, and other operational arrangements, and cannot be viewed on their own as proof of accumulation behavior.Bitcoin pulled back after a recent rally and is currently holding in the $83,000 to $84,000 range, staying above $83,000. Market participants are watching whether this price level can continue to find support and whether Binance's Bitcoin outflows and the decline in exchange reserves will persist. (Bitcoin.com News)
