After the nonfarm payrolls report, there’s only one thing I’m doing this weekend: not mistaking a rebound for a turnaround.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on November 6 that nonfarm payrolls rose by 165,000 in October, the unemployment rate was 4.1%, and hourly earnings increased 0.4% month over month and 3.1% year over year. August and September were also revised up by a combined 84,000. A Reuters poll had expected roughly 65,000, so these figures genuinely beat expectations.

Rate-hike expectations have been reignited across the market. I’m firmly in the camp that says not to jump the gun over the weekend. The data came out Friday night, and East Asian stock markets won’t open until Monday. Any weekend bets are bets on sentiment.

I’d rather miss the initial move at Monday’s open than go all in over the weekend just as the rate-hike narrative is being confirmed.

Solana put an ad on the exterior wall of the Citibank Tower in Lujiazui, Shanghai, but its offline event, “Solana Accelerate China 2026,” was called off before it began.
On November 6, the Financial Times interviewed a relevant official at the People’s Bank of China. The official was direct: the event had been halted in coordination with local financial regulators, public security and market regulators, and the organizations and individuals involved would also be investigated.
The reason was also made clear: SOL is essentially a virtual currency, and Solana provides technical services for the issuance and trading of USDT and other tokens. Under the notice issued by eight government departments this February, promotional activities count as violations.
Personally, I’d focus more on the last sentence. It named two categories as the main targets of the next crackdown: domestic virtual currency traders, and domestic affiliates of overseas issuance and trading platforms.
The wall ad has been taken down, but that has limited impact on people holding the token. The people who may actually be affected are the counterparties you usually trade U with—if they happen to fall into one of the named categories.
The official stance hasn’t changed since February; this time, it’s simply moved from paper to the exterior wall in Lujiazui. Going forward, it may be better to take your time when trading U and choose counterparties with a clean track record.

On November 6, Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) published its consultation conclusions, proposing to prohibit unlicensed firms from using names such as “crypto exchange” and “digital currency trading platform.” But the draft has not yet been submitted to the Legislative Council, and even after it is passed, it will take another six months to come into effect.
In other words, until the new rules take effect, a website can still call itself whatever kind of crypto exchange it wants.
The proposed restrictions are quite specific: combinations of “crypto,” “token” or “virtual asset” with “exchange,” “market” or “trading platform” are all covered. Even similar names such as “digital asset information exchange” appear in the examples in the SFC’s FAQ.
The SFC says there will be no transition period; it is simply pushing the effective date back by six months.
I think this is more like a countdown for fake platforms. For now, it’s no substitute for checking who you’re dealing with.
When using a platform in Hong Kong, no matter how much its name sounds like an exchange, check the list of licensed virtual asset trading platforms on the SFC website before transferring any coins. If it’s not on the list, stay away.

Over the past 24 hours, on-chain perpetuals smart money net bought $4.91 million worth of BTC. The largest trade was closing a $1.52 million short.

Long and short wallets were split 49 to 51, almost even. Most of the net buying came from short covering; new longs showed only moderate strength.

There are still sizable shorts on the books. Some belong to major players who have been hedging for years, so the short figures look scary, but they’re not all bets on a price drop.

What matters more to me is whether this net buying can bring in more volume. If volume doesn’t pick up, treat it as short covering—not a reversal just yet.

Last night at 23:00, that wick plunged to 74888, with 181 million U traded in an hour, but the close then bounced back to 75866. Nearly 12 hours later, the current price is still hovering around 75860, while hourly volume this morning is down to just 20–30 million U.

A high-volume dip followed by low-volume sideways trading tells me the rebound still isn’t attracting serious buyers. Churning around 76000 doesn’t count as holding above it. I won’t chase until volume gets back into the hundreds of millions.

Checking in for Ptah Social Mining again today, #ProofOfAgent Agent #15267 —let's make a push.

I now prefer to use research-oriented AI agents and order-placement agents separately: the former can freely scan on-chain data, while the latter have their permissions restricted to the bare minimum, so if anything goes wrong, they can be shut off independently.#ProofOfAgent Agent #13716 #Ethereum

My view is simple: before tonight’s nonfarm payrolls report comes out, don’t rush to buy the dip in crypto. U.S. stocks are genuinely deleveraging this time.

On Thursday (11/05), the Nasdaq 100 fell 6.36% in a single day, its worst day since March 2020. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropped 12%, wiping out $2.3 trillion in market value in one day, and all 30 Dow components closed lower.

This kind of sell-off isn’t just a bout of emotion—it’s a concentrated liquidation of the most crowded AI positions. The 8.2% one-day drop in momentum ETFs is proof. Crypto’s correlation with U.S. tech stocks has grown tighter over the past year. When big funds need to meet margin calls on the stock side, the assets they’re most likely to sell first are the most liquid cryptocurrencies.

Tonight’s October nonfarm payrolls report at 21:30 is the second shoe to drop, and it comes just as the weekend begins. People in Asia won’t be able to react in time once the data is released.

I’d rather miss a bounce than go all-in before the weekend.

Kazakhstan’s national crypto reserve has a book value of $700 million, but as the Kazakh government itself said at a press conference on September 15, only about $200 million has actually been deployed—and it hasn’t directly bought a single Bitcoin.

The “Kazakh government invests $100 million in crypto fund” story that’s been all over the news these past two days comes from a Bloomberg terminal alert. The money went to hedge funds such as Brevan Howard Digital, and officials haven’t yet announced whether this is the same $200 million from September.

The money is entrusted to fund managers, who use it for liquidity provision and ETFs, so direct buying pressure on spot markets is limited. The headline “national team enters the market” sounds exciting, but on the trading floor, it’s just an order to build a position gradually.

In a market-wide sell-off like today’s, I don’t think it’s realistic to expect a Central Asian reserve fund to provide a floor. It’s more of a signal: sovereign funds are willing to venture into crypto, but they’re doing so in the most cautious way possible.

At 9:03 a.m. on November 6, the Korea Exchange (KRX) triggered a Level 1 circuit breaker on the KOSPI. The index was down 8.52% from the previous trading day's close, halting trading across the market for 20 minutes. It was the 11th such halt this year.
Under KRX rules, no new orders can be placed during those 20 minutes; only cancellations are allowed.
Stocks have a pause button. Crypto doesn't.
For people holding both Korean stocks and crypto, during those 20 minutes when their stock accounts are frozen, crypto is the only thing they can still move.
If they need to top up margin or raise cash, the first assets sold are often the most liquid ones.
What concerns me more is the sequence: the circuit breaker shields the stock market, but the pressure shifts to a place that's open 24/7.
With 11 circuit breakers in a year, keeping some stablecoins in a Korean wallet as a buffer is more practical than guessing whether to buy the dip tomorrow.

At 5:26 this morning, a whale opened a $9.01 million ETH long at 2,223. The position has now grown to $45.43 million, with 25x leverage.

Over the past 24 hours, on-chain perpetuals smart money bought $52.6 million worth of ETH and sold $9.51 million, for net purchases of $43.09 million—the largest of any coin.

But open positions tell the opposite story: 48 wallets are bearish and 29 are bullish, with $308 million in shorts versus less than $50 million in longs. Two old accounts that routinely hold hundreds of millions in hedging shorts make up most of that total, so the short figure looks scary, but it doesn't all mean they're betting on a drop.

My take is that this time, a single whale is buying into the market aggressively, with few people following. A 25x position is still far from liquidation, but if he lets go, it could trigger a huge red candle. If you're following him into a long, keep your leverage low—don't mistake his conviction for your own.

During the hour starting at 23:00 last night, BTC plunged from 78288 to 75568, with 513 million U traded in one hour—60% more than the volume on the candle that surged to 81196 the day before yesterday. But 12 hours later, the price is still hovering around 76000 and hasn’t recovered at all.

A high-volume drop followed by low-volume sideways trading makes me think this move isn’t over yet. For a rebound, I’ll first watch to see if it can get back above 78000. Until it does, I’m in no rush to buy the dip.

This morning, hourly volume was down to just 30–40 million U. Neither buyers nor sellers are stepping in, so if you’re holding a position, don’t add leverage here.

I think anyone answering tonight whether rate cuts are still on the table before the nonfarm numbers come out is jumping the gun.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ November calendar is crystal clear: the October Employment Situation report will be released at 08:30 U.S. Eastern Time on November 6, which is 21:30 Friday in Beijing. More than 2,000 people are already arguing about this topic on the Plaza, but the official figures won’t be out for another day.

It’s even trickier here in East Asia: once the numbers are released, it’ll be the weekend, and local stock markets won’t open until Monday. Chasing gains or cutting losses tonight is just betting on market sentiment.

Waiting for the numbers before making a move is safer than taking sides early.

South Korea’s Financial Services Commission announced at a Financial Security Institute meeting on November 5 that it will issue guidelines this month: when virtual asset service providers discover a security incident, they must not only report it to the Korea Internet & Security Agency, but also immediately notify the Financial Supervisory Service and the Financial Security Institute.

Banks have long been required to report cyberattacks to financial regulators, but the financial reporting channel for exchanges was missing. From September 30 to November 3, the financial sector reported 40 intrusion incidents, including three involving virtual asset firms, with approximately 1 billion won stolen.

What concerns me more is the timing. The guidelines will only be finalized this month, while the Digital Financial Security Act, which will have real teeth, is not expected until the first quarter of 2027. If your assets are held on a Korean exchange, regulators will find out sooner—but don’t wait for the law to take effect before splitting your holdings between hot and cold storage.

Bitcoin surged to 81,196 during the hour starting at 11 p.m. last night, with 317 million U in trading volume. But by noon today, more than a dozen hours later, the price had still not returned to that wick. It kept grinding sideways around 80,000, with hourly trading volume shrinking to around 30 million U.

My view is that the rally ran out of steam during that one-hour burst last night. Now the market is consolidating sideways at a high level, with neither buyers chasing nor sellers dumping. The overnight low was only 79,952. The 80,000 level held all night, and those who bought in earlier still haven't panicked and left.

As long as 80,000 holds, I'll keep holding and wait. Until volume climbs back above 100 million U, I won't chase a breakout above 81,196. That wick last night left a group of people waiting for direction above 80,000.

Personally, I’m more inclined to see tonight’s action as sideways trading while the market waits for news. The Binance hack is no longer pushing Bitcoin down.

During the hour starting at 3 p.m. today, Bitcoin briefly dipped to a low of 77,926 on Binance, with only 28.4 million U in trading volume. It slipped below 78,000, but didn’t even bring out any meaningful selling. From noon until now, hourly volume has mostly been between 20 million and 60 million U. By contrast, the hour of the sell-off in the early hours of the 30th saw 328 million U in volume.

The news of the hack has been repeatedly absorbed by the market over the past three days. Withdrawals are gradually being restored, and the shortfall is being made up. Anyone who wanted to sell off because of this has probably already done so. Volume has contracted this much, which shows that everyone is sitting on their hands.

What they’re likely waiting for is the U.S. midterm election tomorrow, November 3. Before the results come in, no one wants to take a position in either direction.

I’m not adding to or cutting my position tonight. These small back-and-forth moves aren’t worth staying up to watch. I’ll wait for the election results and for volume to pick up again before making a move.

On October 23, the Bank of Korea sent a questionnaire to 18 banks and 13 securities firms. Yonhap News Agency reported on it today. One question was blunt: If the exchange with the largest market share in South Korea were hacked and forced to shut down, how severely would you be affected?

When the questionnaire was sent out, nothing had happened to Binance yet. A week later, that hypothetical question had a real-world example.

What I care more about is the direction of the questions. The central bank is concerned about whether an exchange shutdown could affect banks and securities firms. Judging from the questions listed by Yonhap, not one asked what would happen to retail investors’ coins during the days the exchange was down.

It’s perfectly normal for the central bank to help banks calculate the risks before they enter the crypto space. But people holding crypto need to do that calculation themselves. If an exchange goes down, the only assets you can move immediately are the ones you haven’t left on it.

Responses are due by November 4. The results will initially be for internal reference and won’t become new regulations in the short term. My approach is simple: keep the money I use regularly on an exchange, and store the coins I’m holding for the long term in my own wallet. Don’t mix the two.
