Bitcoin has blasted past $118,000 (+4.5%) as U.S. shutdown fears fade and Uptober FOMO kicks in. Liquidations hit $604M (mostly shorts), fueling alt pumps:
DASH +39%
XVG +25%
SCRT +24%
🔑 Technicals
Key resistance $118K broken
MACD bullish crossover
RSI rising (not yet overbought)
Open interest ballooning
A daily close above $118K opens the door to $128K–$148K fast. But beware: without confirmation, this could be a bull trap.
👉 If confirmed: alts could run 3–5x into Q4. 👉 If rejected: expect dips to $115K as reload zones.
Stay sharp—crypto’s favorite game is fakeouts before liftoffs.
Pi Network’s DeFi Leap 🚀 – Testnet Launch Paves Way for Real-World Utility
Pi Network (PI) traded steady at $0.2700, holding gains after a 2% rise earlier in the week. The project’s latest DeFi testnet launch is fueling optimism around real-world use cases.
At Token2049 Singapore, co-founder Chengdiao Fan announced new decentralized finance features on Pi’s testnet, including a DEX, AMM liquidity pools, and token generation. These functionalities mark a shift toward utility-driven growth, moving beyond meme-coin speculation.
On the testnet DEX, developers can now test token swaps, liquidity pools, and broader DeFi mechanics. The Pi Core Team emphasized that token creation will be geared toward practical applications, reinforcing PI’s focus on usability.
The rollout relies on Stellar’s Protocol 23, which introduces smart contract capabilities. The team launched Testnet 1 (v23) on Thursday, mapping a roadmap from Testnet 2 toward mainnet activation.
Market Outlook
Technically, PI is consolidating above $0.2700, after rebounding from a weekly low of $0.2565. Indicators show easing selling pressure:
RSI climbed from oversold to 33.
MACD is nearing a bullish crossover.
If momentum builds, the next resistance sits near $0.3220 (August 1 low and channel resistance). A downside break below $0.2565, however, could expose PI to $0.2000 support.
Pi’s DeFi debut signals an important step in its transition from closed ecosystem to mainnet-ready real-world utility, setting the stage for broader adoption.
If ETH fails to hold above 4,331: 1️⃣ Quick pullback → 4,199, then potential bounce to 4,450 2️⃣ Deeper correction → 3,950–4,000 (blue rectangle), then target 4,700
🛡 Watch support/resistance closely and manage risk. Good luck, traders! 🍀
I could accept a small loss, but why close everything while still in profit? I planned to hold until it hit zero, and now it automatically closed after just a 20% drop.
This is frustrating — anyone else experienced the same? ⚠️
