According to PANews on October 19th, the latest analysis by CryptoQuant indicates that although Bitcoin has some support, the recovery process is uneven. Firstly, in terms of exchange reserves, it rose from approximately 2.67 million BTC in early October to approximately 2.68 million BTC, still far below the level in January. Low reserves do not mean a continuous contraction in supply, transfers or changes in custody, and the increase itself does not prove selling. Secondly, the recovery of spot demand has been hindered. The 30-day spot demand once approached zero and then turned negative again. The perpetual contract demand was positive, supporting the overall demand. Finally, the behavior of major whales was differentiated. Addresses holding 100–1,000 BTC still accumulated netly over the past 60 days, but were below the peak in September; the group holding 1,000–10,000 BTC net decreased to nearly zero; the group with over 10,000 BTC was negative. Accumulation was not fully launched. What are your thoughts, experts? Regarding this report, do you have any opinions?

Sharing this here to help others avoid the same trap.

I was trying to transfer 0.27 BTC from my Ledger Nano to Kraken while watching a movie at home and multitasking. Since I didn't have Ledger Live installed on that device, I googled "ledger nano" and clicked the first link. It turned out to be a scam sponsored ad. The site asked for my 24-word recovery phrase, and in a moment of pure distraction, I entered it and hit submit. I realized the mistake almost immediately, but by the time I tried to move the funds, the BTC was already gone.

For context, I’m 40 and not a rookie—I’ve been investing in crypto since 2018 and know exactly what not to do. While losing roughly $23k won't impact my lifestyle or retirement plans, the simple fact that I fell for something so silly hit me hard. I haven't felt that terrible in a long time.

I’ve already submitted an IC3 online complaint, though I know the money is gone and have slowly accepted it. Just sharing this so nobody else falls into this trap.
