Hyperliquid is transforming Circle’s reserve yield into a direct source of HYPE buyback demand. This transformation will change the way the protocol’s revenue returns to its token holders. In essence, this agreement directs all of the AQA yield generated by an existing $6.07 billion treasury to be returned directly to Hyperliquid. Using a 3% interest assumption, this results in approximately $498,580 in daily purchase power. Assuming each Hype token costs $88, at the above rate the flows can burn approximately 5,684 tokens per day or increase the burn by 25% relative to its current average.

Zooming out, Bitcoin’s technical setup looks like a textbook pre-breakout setup. For more than five weeks, BTC has been consolidating around $85k, while weekly closes continue to form higher highs. The latest weekly wick reached $87k, which means buyers are still defending the higher ground. If this structure holds, Bitcoin could follow its October seasonality, which has averaged an 18% ROI, potentially pushing the price to $98k by month-end. However, the coming week could put this bullish setup through its paces. ISM Services PMI, ADP Employment data, and FOMC minutes were on the calendar, alongside jobless claims and Michigan’s inflation…

TL;DR Roughly $110 million in bearish crypto positions were liquidated during a rapid ten-minute rally on October 2. The move was concentrated on short positions, creating the mechanics of a classic short squeeze. No single verified news catalyst explains the burst, so the market event should be read through leverage and positioning rather than an invented headline trigger. Crypto traders were given another reminder of how quickly leverage can turn a normal price move into something much more violent. Around $110 million in short positions were liquidated during a ten-minute burst on October 2 as Bitcoin, Ethereum and the wider…

Aave’s [AAVE] recent pullback from its latest high of approximately $188 is in fact testing the breakout responsible for the run-up in price at this level. The price of Aave initially sliced past $176 after hitting a new high of $188 before retracing back down towards $180.51. In other words, the price of Aave remained above previous resistance. This makes this significant since a break below $176 will be the first opportunity for the buyers to demonstrate if they can maintain the recent gains. On the other hand, the rising trendline connecting the large lower highs since the 16th of…

Worldcoin [WLD]  has surged over 10% over the past 24 hours, at press time, while trading volume surged by 45% to $639 million, reflecting a sharp increase in market participation.

Bitcoin’s [BTC] latest pullback reflects a failed attempt to break the $87,100 resistance that has capped its recovery. After pushing into that zone, Bitcoin reversed sharply, falling nearly 4% toward $83,800 as selling intensified. However, the decline has so far stopped above the $82,900-$83,000 range floor. In turn, this keeps the broader recovery structure intact. Meanwhile, RSI has fallen from near overbought levels toward 52. In other words, this simply shows that the September rally has lost momentum rather than fully reversing.

As Bitcoin [BTC] consolidates below $90k, the important question is what could eventually push the price higher. Interestingly enough, a catalyst may already be in place. From a macro perspective, the yields on treasuries are rising, and the probability of a rate hike in October has plummeted to 17% from 75% a few days ago. Nonetheless, the risk appetite remains repressed, and investors are still hedging into safe havens. In other words, liquidity is still cautious. As analysts at the Kobeissi Letter note: We just got a weaker than expected September jobs report, a 2-month downward revision of -60,000 jobs,…
