Glassnode: Bitcoin whales remain in strong accumulation zone, falling wedge pattern signals potential bullish reversal

On April 19th, according to Cointelegraph, Glassnode data shows that Bitcoin whales are still in a strong accumulation area. The large holders (whales and sharks) currently holding 100-1000 or more Bitcoins are absorbing Bitcoin at the fastest rate in history, with the current absorption of this group exceeding 300% of the annual Bitcoin issuance. At the same time, the amount of Bitcoin held by exchanges continues to decline, with an annual absorption rate of -200%, indicating that investors are more inclined to hold long-term or self-custody. In addition, addresses holding over 10,000 BTC have an accumulation trend score of about 0.7, indicating that they are still in a strong accumulation state. Technical analysis shows that Bitcoin has broken out of a multi-month descending wedge pattern, and if the current trend continues, the price may break $100,000 in May. $88,800 is a key resistance level to reverse the market structure, and if the bulls fail to break through, they may not be able to maintain their strong momentum.

  • Iranian Official: No Negotiations on Nuclear Program with US, Tehran's Right to Enrich Uranium is a Red Line

    On October 7, a senior Iranian official told Reuters that there have been no negotiations between Iran and the United States regarding Tehran's nuclear program. The official noted that there are differences between the US's views on Iran's nuclear program and Iran's demands. The official stated that the US must first meet Tehran's conditions before discussing nuclear issues. Iran will never relinquish its right to enrich uranium, although details of enrichment can be discussed later. The official emphasized that the US's acknowledgment of Iran's right to enrich uranium is a red line for Tehran. The official also described US Vice President Vance's comments on Iran's nuclear program as the US's 'thoughts and demands.' (Jinshi)

  • U.S. 30-Year Mortgage Rates Rise to 7.49%, Hitting Nearly Three-Year High

    On October 7, U.S. mortgage rates rose for the seventh consecutive week, reaching the highest level in nearly three years, further exacerbating housing affordability issues in the country. Data released by the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) on Wednesday showed that for the week ending October 2, the average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage increased by 19 basis points to 7.49%, the highest level since November 2023. Over the past three weeks, the 30-year mortgage rate has risen by approximately 0.5 percentage points, marking the fastest increase since the beginning of 2023. The combination of high home prices and rising mortgage rates has made it difficult for both existing and new home sales to maintain their previous recovery momentum. The MBA's mortgage application index for home purchases fell by 2.1%, reaching its lowest level in over a year, while the index measuring refinancing applications dropped by 7.5%, continuing a downward trend that began in mid-August.

  • Intel Confirms Continued Participation in Musk's Terafab Project

    On October 7, Bloomberg reported that Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger stated in an interview in Tokyo that Intel will continue its involvement in Elon Musk's Terafab project. Intel signed on as a development partner for the project in April of this year, and this statement indicates that the company has not withdrawn from the project. Previously, Musk revealed that he was in discussions with TSMC regarding potential collaboration on Terafab, raising concerns in the market about how TSMC's involvement might affect Intel's role in the project, leading to a temporary drop of 3.9% in Intel's stock price. Terafab is a significant initiative for Musk's entry into the advanced chip manufacturing sector. As AI infrastructure continues to expand, the global demand for chips and related equipment is increasing, putting pressure on various supply chain segments. Bloomberg had previously reported that Musk has requested suppliers to accelerate the progress of Terafab, with various suppliers, including those providing ball bearings, chip manufacturing equipment, industrial chemicals, and rails, currently operating at high capacity.

  • G7 Announces Release of 100 Million Barrels of Strategic Oil, Europe Rejects Additional Stockpiling

    On October 7, Bloomberg reported, citing a memorandum from an internal EU meeting, that EU member states generally believe that the G7's announcement last week to coordinate the release of 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel does not imply that Europe needs to significantly draw on its strategic reserves beyond existing commitments. The EU is inclined to limit subsequent releases to the amounts agreed upon in March of this year, suggesting that there may be a significant difference between the '100 million barrels' mentioned by the G7 and the actual additional supply in the future. The G7 previously announced that under the coordination of the International Energy Agency (IEA), it would release a total of 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel over the next four months, prioritizing a significant early release of diesel in the first 20 days. However, as of now, no EU member state has explicitly committed to increasing stockpiles within that timeframe. In March of this year, IEA member countries reached an agreement for a release plan of approximately 400 million barrels, with EU countries collectively responsible for about 20%, and as of early October, approximately two-thirds of that quota has been completed.
