The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.5% and South Korea's KOSPI rose 1.76% to 5,768 points, while the US 10-year yield climbed to 5.13% and the 30-year to 5.46%, moving in step with stocks ahead of major tech earnings from Meta, SpaceX and Tesla. QCP Capital warned that a repeat of last week's tech sell-off could threaten the $80,000 support level. Crypto liquidations totaled $335 million over 24 hours, and the Binance whale ratio fell to 0.45 from 0.54 at the start of October.

- SEC tokenized stock framework faces issuer pushback as Broadcom, Verizon object to OKX-ICE listing
Nine issuers, including Broadcom, Verizon and UnitedHealth, have objected to having their shares traded on OKXICE's planned tokenized-stock platform, according to an October 15 notice. The venue would offer around-the-clock trading under the SEC's temporary Innovation Exemption, with tokens backed one-for-one by underlying shares. Nasdaq has said it will opt out of the framework because the venue does not display best prices in real time or report to the consolidated tape. TD Securities analysts found that reliance on temporary exemptive relief rather than permanent rules has made issuers and institutions reluctant to invest in the trading infrastructure.
- Abandoned Bitcoin? Wallet Targeted by Noah Doe Lawsuit Moves $33 Million
A Bitcoin address beginning with “13Coop”, first funded on Sept. 11, 2013 and never having sent coins, moved 411.45 BTC (about $33.4 million) on Sunday in its first outgoing transfer, sending it to a new unlabeled address rather than an exchange. Galaxy Research says the coins cost roughly $54,000 when Bitcoin traded near $130, with an average cost basis around $127 and a paper gain above 64,000%. Galaxy tagged the sending address as one of 39,069 dormant addresses named in a New York lawsuit filed by a pseudonymous plaintiff, “Noah Doe,” and two Wyoming companies, which claim such wallets are abandoned property. The article notes that moving coins requires private keys, which suggests at least some targeted wallets are not abandoned, and that dormant wallets have been moving at an accelerating pace.
- Strive buys $335M in Bitcoin, boosting holdings to 36,818 BTC
Bitcoin treasury company Strive bought 4,045 BTC for about $335 million last week, raising its total holdings to 36,818 BTC, according to a Monday SEC filing. The purchases were made between Oct. 12 and 16 at an average price of $82,803 per coin, including fees. That makes Strive the fourth-largest publicly traded corporate Bitcoin holder, ahead of MARA Holdings, with reserves worth about $3 billion. The company also received about $369 million from warrant exercises and issued 13.7 million common shares, and it priced a $630 million offering of SATS preferred stock carrying a fixed 15% annual dividend, with proceeds that could fund more Bitcoin purchases. ASST shares rose about 7.7% to $25.95 in late-morning trading Monday.
- AI Predicts Bitcoin Stays Still While Oil Breaks $110
Bitcoin held near $82,000, up 0.21% over 24 hours at $82,198, even as Brent crude rose above $110 after a US warning to Americans in 12 Middle Eastern countries about cancelled flights and closed airspace. Trading volume rose 84.8% to $24.7 billion while price stayed flat. CryptoQuant data show that the share of coins bought six to twelve months earlier that moved to exchanges, a common sign of selling, fell from 40.4% in the window ending June 17 to 4.4% in the window ending October 15, or 9,100 BTC. The article argues that oil at $110 could feed into inflation, with September PPI at 6.3% against a 5.3% forecast and CPI at 3.7%.
- Bitcoin Tests Key Support as Oil and AI Fears Squeeze Markets
Bitcoin traded near $82,164 after touching $83,040 earlier in the day, sitting just above a key support line. Brent crude hovered near $108 a barrel after attacks on Persian Gulf tankers and Russian crude facilities, while September CPI rose 3.7% and PPI jumped 6.3%, raising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 5.08%, and spot Bitcoin ETFs lost about $910 million over two weeks. The Nasdaq Composite fell more than 2% on Friday for its worst week since June, with CoreWeave down about 24% over the week. Technically, RSI sits at 49.3 and ADX at 21.6, signaling no firm trend, and the article notes that a daily close below $81,603 could open the way to $81,196.

- Iran warns US and Israel
Iran's Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Major General Ali Abdollahi, warned on October 18 that the US and Israel would face a far harsher response if they continue actions Tehran considers provocative. He said Tehran is awaiting their next moves and that Iran's armed forces remain ready for any scenario.

- Is TC Energy (TRP) a Good or Bad Investment at Today's Multiple?
TC Energy trades at 21.19 times next year's expected earnings, closing at $61.74 on October 16 after a 1.5% return over 6 months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The company operates natural gas transmission pipelines across Canada, the United States and Mexico, plus power generation, with a 44.25% operating margin, and latest-quarter earnings rose 18.00% on revenue up 5.70%. The article flags risks including debt at 170.37% of equity, the loss of crude oil pipelines to South Bow in 2024, and volumes that depend on North American gas demand from power and LNG exports. A 4.01% yield is cited as income while the market decides whether the stable business justifies the multiple relative to its growth.
- Should You Buy This Trump AI Stock Ahead of Earnings?
Microsoft (MSFT) reports quarterly results on October 28 and ranks eighth in Trump's latest stock portfolio, after Trump bought the stock five times in August. Bulls point to Azure growth of 43% last quarter, with management expecting about 45% in the current quarter, and to demand that exceeds available computing capacity. Bears cite rising capital spending that Deutsche Bank says could push free cash flow close to breakeven in fiscal 2027, about two-thirds of spending going to short-lived equipment such as chips, and OpenAI making up about 45% of the commercial backlog in the December quarter. The stock trades at 26.75 times forward earnings, a 27% premium to the sector median of 21.01 but 12% below its own five-year average of 30.47, with a PEG ratio of 1.70 versus a sector median of 1.14. The article concludes that investors pay more than for the average tech stock but less than they usually pay for Microsoft.
- What Is Williams' (WMB) Economic Moat, and Is It Steel or Permits?
Williams (WMB) closed at $71.28 on October 16, with a 0.5% return over 6 months, compared with 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index and 9.3% for the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. The article argues its main advantage is the Transco pipeline, which runs from the Gulf Coast up the eastern seaboard, where several attempts to build new pipe have been abandoned after failing to win approvals. A 39.54% operating margin and 21.50% return on equity are cited as evidence of this advantage, although revenue rose only 7.80% last quarter. Limits noted include debt at 200.37% of equity, rules that also restrict Williams' own growth, and a price of 26.81 times expected next-year earnings. The dividend yields 2.95%.
- Marvell Jumps 6% as GF Securities Says Google Chip Delay Won’t Dent Its Position; Broadcom Rises 3%
Marvell shares rose 6% to $241.27 in afternoon trading after a reported delay in Google's next TPU chip, while Broadcom gained 3%. GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu said the delay does not change Marvell's medium- to long-term position in Google's chip supply chain. Marvell reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $2.74 billion, up 36.5% YoY, with its Data Center segment at $2.17 billion, or 79% of revenue. Google can acquire up to 7% of Marvell shares under a warrant tied to revenue targets, and management expects its custom business to more than double in fiscal 2028. Q3 revenue guidance is $3.15 billion, plus or minus 5%, with non-GAAP gross margin of 57.5% to 58.5%, and the article notes Marvell still needs to convert its Google programs into reported revenue.
- Is ONEOK (OKE) Cheap at 14 Times Next Year’s Earnings?
ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) closed at $93.31 on October 16 and returned 11.4% over six months, versus 10.5% for the Insider Monkey Billionaire Index. The stock trades at 14.49 times next year's expected earnings and yields 4.59%, and revenue rose 52.80% last quarter as the company grew through acquisitions. The article argues that much of this growth was bought rather than built, with only 13.25% of revenue remaining as operating profit and debt at 143.07% of equity. Because a large part of the business involves buying and reselling liquids rather than earning transport fees, the article views the discount as having a reason behind it. It concludes that investors should watch margins rather than revenue.
