Odaily — QCP Group stated in its latest market report that despite market disruptions from news of the U.S. government moving a large amount of BTC and a hack on Ledger, Bitcoin has maintained a range-bound trajectory, repeatedly failing to break through $87,000, though support at $80,000 remains relatively solid. If it effectively breaks above $87,000, the next target could point to $94,000.

In the options market, Bitcoin's implied volatility remains elevated, while put option premiums have narrowed, indicating that the market prefers to wait for a directional breakout rather than adding defensive positions. Currently, long call butterfly options expiring on October 30 with strike prices of $90,000, $95,000, and $100,000 have become the main concentration of month-end positions.

Additionally, this week's U.S. CPI and PPI data, as well as Fed Chairman Warsh's speech at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings, will be key market focuses. The report noted that the market is currently pricing in about a 17% probability of an October rate hike, and related macroeconomic data and policy signals could influence BTC's subsequent trajectory.

According to OKX market data, GTC briefly rose above $0.38, now trading at $0.371, with a short-term gain of over 100%.

Starting from the quarterfinals, a single-elimination format is adopted, with matches held at JDG's home venue in Beijing. Winners advance to the semifinals, while losers are eliminated outright.

Odaily News: IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva warned that AI is having a disruptive impact on labor markets and tax systems, and policymakers need to rethink education systems and take immediate action to help society adapt to the changes. Speaking Monday at the debut of the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, Georgieva said: "It is a slow-moving tsunami, but it is still a tsunami." At a conference on AI's impact on employment, she said AI has already weakened demand for some human workers by replacing large numbers of repetitive, routine jobs, while also driving an increase in low-wage positions in industries such as construction — which she said "is not something to celebrate." Georgieva said this transformation will have profound implications for public finances, with the risk that AI could shift the economy from labor toward capital, thereby eroding government tax revenues, since labor income has traditionally been an important tax base.
