Market brief 1 Nov: A quiet Saturday inside broken ranges, with Binance...

tprotank


Here is how BTC, ETH, SOL and HYPE look on 1 November 2026. I read funding and open interest before the chart, and I name the price that would invalidate each call.


The short version

  • Since the last brief, ETH is up 1.3% and BTC 0.8%. SOL and HYPE are flat.
  • Saturday was an inside day for all four. Nothing reclaimed a broken floor, and nothing made a new low.
  • What matters most: Binance reopens withdrawals in phases today, with 90% of the stolen assets already replaced.
  • Funding reset to the base rate everywhere, and HYPE's froth cooled without price breaking.
  • Key risk: the midterms on Tuesday and a full proof of reserves still due, all inside thin weekend liquidity.


Macro backdrop

The backdrop is neutral and unchanged. Equity volatility sits near 19, and net dollar liquidity is still draining, about $24B over 30 days. Credit spreads remain tight, one of three recession warnings is on, and the dollar isn't driving crypto. On-chain valuation is mid-to-upper range, not stretched. Gold near $3,877 leans weak and offers no shelter.


Friday's damage came from Wall Street as much as from the hack. Spot bitcoin ETFs lost $643M on 30 October, the largest outflow since June, and ether funds lost $156M as the Nasdaq fell 2.9% (Crypto Briefing). Binance says it has replaced about 90% of the $6.3B stolen and will absorb the losses itself (CoinDesk). Sentiment is still in fear at 30 (crypto.news).


BTC - Drifting up inside the weekend box, still under the 79,100 floor

BTC marks 77,886, up 0.8% since the last brief. Saturday traded 77,072 to 77,750 and closed at 77,535. It is now testing the top of that box, but it is still far below the 79,100 line that broke on Thursday. The 20-day and 50-day averages sit near 81,100 and 81,900, so the trend is still down.


Positioning eased a little. Open interest fell about 2% in coin terms to $3.15B, and funding paid the base rate in all 24 hours, so the crowd is mildly long, not crowded. The catalyst is today's Binance reopening. A smooth restart is the most likely trigger for a squeeze toward 79,100.


The short lean holds below the old floor, with 76,264 and then the 74,900 September low as the downside markers. A daily close above 79,100 invalidates it.


ETH - Pressing the top of the 2,173 to 2,280 range

ETH marks 2,270, up 1.3% since the last brief and the strongest major today. It is just under 2,280, the top of the range that has held since Thursday. Funding swung from negative hours on Friday to the full base rate in all 24 hours, and open interest is flat in coin terms at $2.23B. The shorts that were paying are gone, so there is little fuel left for a squeeze.


The attacker's large ETH stack is still the overhang, and ether funds were sold on Friday. No trade inside the range. A daily close above 2,280 would turn the read constructive. A daily close under 2,173 ends the range read and opens the 2,100s.


SOL - Longs are piling in under a broken floor

SOL marks 95.69, flat since the last brief. Saturday was a tight 95.08 to 96.95 day under the 99.0 line that failed on Friday. The 20-day sits at 102.7 and the 50-day at 109.1.


The change is in positioning. Open interest rose about 8% in coin terms to $556M while price went nowhere, and funding paid the base rate in all 24 hours. New longs are buying a market that hasn't won back its floor, and that is fuel for a flush if 92.2 goes. Solana also lagged the Saturday bounce in the majors (TokenPost). The short lean holds. A daily close above 99.0 invalidates it, and losing 92.2 opens the high 80s.


HYPE - The froth is cooling while 85 holds

HYPE marks 88.02, flat since the last brief. Saturday dipped to 86.24 and closed at 87.93, still above 85. The bigger change is in funding. It peaked near 77% annualized on Saturday and is now back to the base rate. Open interest eased about 2% in coin terms to $1.92B. The overheated longs are leaving without breaking the chart, which is what a healthy pause looks like.


The ICE and Trade.xyz plan for a regulated US venue on Hyperliquid's rails is still the structural story (crypto.news). The 9.92M HYPE contributor release on 6 November is about $870M at today's mark, but past claims have come in well under the headline (Buildix). The long bias holds. A daily close under 85.0 invalidates it.


What to watch in the next 72 hours

  • Sun 1 Nov: Binance reopens withdrawals in phases, subject to security checks (Forexcrunch).
  • Mon 2 Nov: US ISM Manufacturing at 15:00 UTC, consensus 54.7 (Economic Weekly).
  • By Tue 3 Nov: Binance's full zero-knowledge proof of reserves (Crypto Briefing).
  • Tue 3 Nov: US midterm elections, plus an RBA decision (Newsquawk).
  • Throughout: the attacker's ETH and BTC wallets.
  • Just outside the window: the 6 November HYPE release and the US jobs report.
