Matrixport released daily chart analysis, stating, "Our real-time Bitcoin greed and fear index (currently reading 9%) has once again dropped below 10% (the index ranges from 0% to 100%) - historically, this level marks the market entering a state of 'extreme fear'. From a strategic perspective, after such readings appear, the market often sees a short-term rebound, so this could also be a bullish reversal signal. However, we would prefer to see the 21-day moving average of this index also bottom out and rebound, which has not yet happened. In addition, last week Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (BTC ETF) recorded $1.2 billion in outflows, market uncertainty continues to exist, and the Bitcoin price is below the 21-day moving average, among other factors, the current market sentiment remains fragile. Until clear macroeconomic or policy catalysts emerge to change the market narrative, maintaining a cautious stance is still a prudent move."

Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, said that gold needs a large number of new buyers to maintain price stability or drive up. In 2024, the global gold mining volume is about 3660 tons, and the recycling volume is about 1370 tons. Based on current prices, this means that about $680 billion worth of new gold needs to be bought (to balance supply and demand).

Jeff Yan, the founder of Hyperliquid, responded to external criticism by stating that the platform does not prioritize protocol revenue, but values the interests of traders. He also defended the automatic deleveraging (ADL) mechanism adopted by the exchange during the market crash on October 10. Yan stated that the ADL operation closed profitable short positions at favorable prices, bringing "billions of dollars in profit" to users. At the same time, the platform's liquidity pool also transfers potential profits to users, rather than maximizing its own revenue. This statement comes at a time when the public is closely watching how decentralized perpetual contract exchanges handle liquidation issues during market volatility. Yan emphasized that if more positions were liquidated at the bottom line, HLP could have made billions of dollars in additional profit, but that would result in irresponsible risk exposure. He also stated that the ADL mechanism is a "win-win" solution, reducing platform risk exposure while also considering user interests.

a federal judge ruled that the antitrust lawsuit filed by X and xAI, owned by Elon Musk, against Apple and OpenAI, will continue in Fort Worth, Texas. Judge Mark Pittman pointed out that the companies involved have little connection to the region and sarcastically suggested that if they wanted to litigate the case in Fort Worth, the companies could relocate their headquarters there. X and xAI filed the lawsuit in August, accusing Apple and OpenAI of attempting to maintain a monopoly in the artificial intelligence market. X is located in Bastrop, Texas, while Apple and OpenAI are headquartered in California. Pittman emphasized that Apple and OpenAI did not request a transfer of the case before the court's deadline, with their only local connections being Apple retail stores and OpenAI's nationwide services. Despite concerns about choice of venue, existing legal standards limit the judge's ability to transfer the case. The lawsuit was filed on August 25, 2025, with a trial set for October 19, 2026, allowing over a year for evidence exchange and pre-trial motions. Apple and OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit on September 30, 2025, stating that the complaint did not specify the claims. Furthermore, the lawsuit has sparked discussions about an audit of Apple's App Store search, which has various implications for AI app developers.
