According to Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs has restricted most employees from using advanced AI tools aimed at programming after evaluating production efficiency and risk management, leading to dissatisfaction among some employees. Internal guidelines were updated in October, and bankers had previously been able to use Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub for several months, but the scope of these tools has now been narrowed to engineers.Sources say that some traders had used these tools to accelerate monitoring of client trading flows, modeling market changes and positions, as well as creating text and graphic content, and this restriction has left them feeling dissatisfied. Goldman Sachs' Chief Information Officer Marco Argenti stated in July that non-technical personnel such as traders and bankers had developed solutions using AI tools, which were then handed over to the company's approximately 12,000 engineers for improvement.Goldman Sachs spokesperson Nick Carcaterra stated that the company provides employees with certain AI tools to determine applicable scenarios in different businesses; after evaluating factors such as production efficiency and risk management during the trial period, the tools will be given to the most suitable personnel for long-term use. Additionally, sources indicated that the latest directive does not apply to strats who are simultaneously engaged in trading, quantitative research, and software engineering. Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs also restricted employees in Hong Kong from using Anthropic's Claude.

Renowned trader Killa posted that in the cryptocurrency industry, those who frequently showcase so-called huge profits should be approached with caution. Such individuals may have poor trading performance and attempt to prove their abilities by displaying screenshots of simulated trading profits.He believes that those who truly trade with large amounts of capital usually do not need to constantly prove themselves to the outside world, and he reminds the community not to be easily deceived by the trading results presented on the surface, but to pay attention to the details.

Renowned trader Doctor Profit stated that although Bitcoin has lost the daily EMA50 and MA50 support in the $80,000 to $81,000 range after this black swan event, it is still within its bullish fractal structure. He emphasized that $76,000 is a key support level, as breaking through this area previously confirmed the start of a bull market. If it falls below this level, it would severely impact the bulls and pose a higher risk of dropping to the $67,000 to $69,000 range; as long as it holds above $76,000, he believes there is no need to panic for now.He views the recent market action as a large-scale washout that triggered significant liquidations and panic selling, and he still believes the bull market will continue. He stated that he is still holding long positions opened at $80,400 and all spot purchases made at $60,000. If it breaks below $76,000, he will acknowledge that his bullish judgment in the $80,000 to $81,000 range was incorrect, but he will not turn bearish; he still sees the current trend as a cleansing before the next round of upward movement.

Trader Killa posted that the collapse of FTX marked the bottom of the market, and this Binance hacking incident may have a similar effect. He believes that the best way to recover losses is to drive prices significantly higher rather than further declines, and mentioned that Binance holds billions of dollars in Bitcoin, having the financial strength to initiate billions of dollars in long positions, which may not be directly observed by retail investors.Killa also speculated that Binance may have generated about $1 billion in revenue through liquidation, slippage, and trading fees. Although the market may take some time to digest the short-term impact of this incident, he remains optimistic about the medium to long-term trend of the crypto market.

Renowned trader Doctor Profit stated that he still maintains a bullish outlook on Bitcoin and believes that Binance's need to compensate for stolen assets may bring buying pressure. He mentioned that the portion that cannot be compensated through asset recovery or the company's existing holdings needs to be repurchased, but the specific purchase amount has not been disclosed.According to his estimates, the related events involve approximately 6.3 billion dollars, of which about 3 billion dollars have been frozen. He expects that after Tether and Circle reissue the corresponding assets, the remaining gap will be about 3.3 billion dollars, accounting for approximately 2.05% of Binance's total assets. If no more funds are frozen subsequently, Binance will need to repurchase about 3.3 billion dollars worth of crypto assets, including Bitcoin.Doctor Profit views this potential replenishment demand as an inflow of funds and stated that this incident has not shaken his bullish stance. He still holds a long position in Bitcoin opened at 80,400 dollars and spot purchases at 60,000 dollars, claiming that he was prepared for volatility before entering the market and will not exit his position due to this incident.

The market may be gradually forming an important phase bottom, as it can still hold its price range under bearish impacts, indicating that it is digesting negative news, which is also a typical characteristic in a bull market.

Renowned trader Doctor Profit stated that he has completed long positions in Bitcoin within the range of $80,000 to $81,000, with an average entry price of $80,400, and his target remains at $94,000. He continues to hold Bitcoin spot with an average cost between $60,000 and $64,000, believing that the range of $80,000 to $81,000, extending down to $79,000, represents an accumulation zone and a local bottom.Doctor Profit mentioned that the demand for spot in this area is stronger, and long positions are gradually being established, while most retail sentiment is bearish. Regarding institutional holdings, he stated that the average buy-in cost for Bitcoin reserves is about $80,200, and the average buy-in cost for reserves and U.S. spot ETFs is roughly between $80,000 and $81,500. He also noted that as of October 20, spot buy orders around $80,000 on Binance have been re-accumulated, with the profit-taking speed reduced to about half of the peak in September.He assesses that recent selling pressure mainly comes from retail investors, futures shorts, and some short-term holders, while medium to long-term holders who bought in the range of $60,000 to $70,000 still tend to hold their positions. Technically, he hopes Bitcoin can regain the 50-day exponential moving average and close above it on a daily basis, but he stated that even if this is not achieved temporarily, it does not change his judgment on the local bottom. He also reminded to pay attention to the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on October 28.

Renowned trader Killa posted that he still holds long positions in Bitcoin established around $76,400, and there are no changes to the current trading plan. To capture significant market movements, one must patiently endure prolonged periods of consolidation and dull price trends. The difference between profitable and losing traders often lies in patience and the ability to stick to a predetermined plan when market sentiment shifts.He will not move the stop-loss level up to the opening price but will continue to hold the position until the target price is reached or the stop-loss is triggered. Traders frequently changing their positions is precisely the reason many fail in trading; the key is whether the market structure has changed and whether the trading plan needs adjustment. Currently, neither of these points has changed, so he will not panic, repeatedly question, or waver, but will continue to execute the original strategy.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working to increase the frequency of the highly anticipated Commitments of Traders (COT) report to twice a week by the end of this year. The report is currently released every Friday and provides a detailed overview of buying and selling in the commodity markets, distinguishing between hedge funds and other asset management firms and commercial trading participants.Producers rely on this report to assist in making hedging decisions, while speculative traders observe market position changes through the data and whether related bets have become overly concentrated. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated last week at the agricultural commodity futures conference in Kansas that the plan to increase the report's release frequency stems from demand in the agricultural sector.
