Bitcoin's short-term-holder exchange inflows have shifted from profit-taking toward realized losses, putting the recovery under stress. The 24-hour net profit balance swung from +10.4K BTC a week ago to -18.6K BTC, while the share of profitable hours fell from 75% to 16%. Exchange transfers are not confirmed sales; a rebound above 50% profitable hours would signal profit-taking has regained dominance. x.com  x.com

Per @standuquesne, trade.xyz is partnering with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the US.

Bitcoin's pre-FOMC pump looks vulnerable because such moves usually retrace afterward and sweep below prior lows. That pattern now points to roughly $78K. Earlier, liquidations into FOMC and Bitcoin's strong hold near $80K despite another $79K test had suggested the correction might be over and that it could be a bad time to be bearish. x.com  x.com

Bitcoin's 64% supply-in-profit reading makes $80,000 or below worth watching during the bear-to-bull transition. At the October 25 close of $80,086, it matched the 64% reading at $75,000 on September 15. Historically, below 65% marks a reasonable correction in this phase, and lower prices offer better value. A 55%-60% reading would be best, but it may never arrive. The low of this pullback from $87,000 is unknown. x.com
