Data released by HODL15Capital shows that sell orders for Bitcoin around the price of $80,000 mainly come from the Binance trading platform. Among them, Binance has approximately $31.98 million in sell orders near $79,945, about $13.2 million in sell orders near $80,000, and around $33.27 million in sell orders near $82,500; Coinbase has about $38.74 million in sell orders near $80,000.HODL15Capital analysis indicates that some of these sell orders have been posted for a long time, for example, the sell orders near $80,000 on Binance have been around for about 99 days, and the sell orders near $82,500 have been around for about 108 days.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. Treasury announced that from September 9 to November 4, the limit for single long-term U.S. Treasury bond repurchases will be raised from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, using short-term debt financing instead of "printing money," which the market views as a liquidity management operation similar to "Operation Twist 2."Although officials emphasize that this measure is not quantitative easing (QE) or yield curve control (YCC), it is interpreted as a signal of policy concerns regarding rising financing costs against the backdrop of long-term yields reaching nearly a twenty-year high and high fiscal deficits. This has strengthened expectations for a more aggressive YCC in the future, driving Bitcoin to surge short-term, breaking through $78,000, with a weekly increase of 23%. Gold has also strengthened, while the dollar weakened, intensifying market volatility due to short covering.

He also reminded that withdrawal addresses will be changed regularly as part of normal security mechanisms, and users must verify the actual on-chain receipt situation. HTX stated that it will take every user feedback and every bit of user assets seriously.

WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff stated that Sun Yuchen's claims about the latest court ruling contain multiple false statements. Sun Yuchen previously claimed that the court supported his position and described the outcome as a "major victory," but in fact, the court did not make any ruling.Zach stated that Sun Yuchen packaged "temporarily leaving personal demands in court" as a victory, but WLFI never requested to submit his personal demands for arbitration. The motion to dismiss filed by WLFI regarding these personal demands is still pending a court ruling. In other words, the "court support" and "major victory" claimed by Sun Yuchen do not exist.
