10 #Bitcoin ETFs outflows 3,062 $BTC(-$302.76M) and 9 #Ethereum ETFs outflows 16,114 $ETH(-$53.01M) yesterday.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that this cycle could mark the most active period for Bitcoin Long-Term Holders (LTHs) in the current market cycle. Using the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) heatmap to track relevant shifts, he explained that the metric counts how many days a Bitcoin is held before being spent or transferred, noting that LTH BTC transfers are generally linked to selling intentions. The uptick in LTH activity this cycle is likely fueled by increased market liquidity from spot Bitcoin ETFs and companies building Bitcoin treasury reserves. However, a rise in CDD does not always coincide with market tops—it can also signal capitulation by some holders. He added that Coinbase’s recent transfer of 800,000 BTC, a large portion of which had been held for over six months, also caused a temporary CDD spike, though such asset moves are one-off events. Currently, amid Bitcoin’s recent rally, LTH activity has edged up slightly, likely as some holders aim to lock in quick profits. Overall, however, such activity remains subdued in 2026, with long-term holders still waiting on the sidelines.

According to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin falls below $76,000, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will reach $394 million. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks above $78,000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will hit $227 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number of contracts awaiting liquidation or the precise value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the chart represent the relative importance (i.e., intensity) of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters. Thus, the chart shows the degree of impact a given price level of the underlying asset will face. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that once the price reaches that level, it will trigger a more intense reaction due to liquidity waves.

Crypto analyst Ali Charts posted that Bitcoin has bottomed out. For investors who missed the buying opportunity below $60,000, BTC’s current rise to the $77,000–$80,000 range may feel anxiety-inducing, but chasing the rally now is not advisable. He noted that during previous bull markets, Bitcoin’s short-term holder cost basis has repeatedly served as an attractive accumulation zone. Reviewing market performance from 2022 to 2025, whenever BTC touched or briefly dipped below this cost basis, a macro buying opportunity emerged, followed by a sustained overall uptrend. Currently, Bitcoin’s short-term holder cost basis stands at around $71,200. Waiting patiently for BTC to pull back to this zone could offer a more favorable entry point for the next potential rally.

Crypto trader Ansem stated in a post that Solana ecosystem meme coin ZCAT has caught his attention, and can be seen as an alternative way to gain exposure to ZEC’s market. ZCAT forms a trading pair with ZEC, and funds its reward mechanism through a 3% token transfer tax. The corresponding ZEC rewards are distributed directly to eligible ZCAT holders, enabling on-chain speculators to gain exposure to the Zcash narrative. Ansem also pointed out that the transfer tax increases transaction friction, which is the main trade-off of this mechanism; he considers the design interesting, but it is a high-risk spot trade.

According to CoinGlass data, Ethereum (ETH) has rallied 60.62% cumulatively so far in Q3 2026, marking the second-best third-quarter performance in ETH’s history—only trailing the 66.55% gain recorded in Q3 2025. The 59.5% return from Q3 2020 ranks third. Historical data shows ETH’s average third-quarter return across years stands at 12.28%, with a median of 9.87%. ETH fell 29.26% in Q1 and 25.28% in Q2 this year, with a notable rebound in Q3 so far. However, the quarter is not yet complete, so the final quarterly return may still change.

Uniswap stated in a post that its protocol has processed over $70 billion in trading volume over the past month, surpassing the combined total of the three DEXs ranked after it in trading volume for the same period.
