Odaily Planet Daily reports that the US midterm election season has entered its final stage, and Wall Street is busy formulating strategies for a range of scenarios. However, coincidentally, the most favorable outcome for the market appears to be the most likely. Investors are increasingly confident that Democrats will win the House of Representatives in November, while believing Republicans will only have a slight advantage in the Senate. Many market observers see this as the ideal combination with the least risk of disruptive policy changes. While this confidence is not unfounded, it is far from a certainty. The market currently favors a Democratic victory in the House. However, the Senate race has become more closely contested, with Republicans currently holding a slight lead on Kalshi and Polymarket. The futures market, linked to the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), is showing increased demand for protection against volatility in the S&P 500 in early November. Evercore ISI recommends traders position themselves for potential market volatility by using so-called straddle options on the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Furthermore, the market anticipates two Federal Reserve rate hikes by early 2027. (WSJ)

According to Bitcoin News, Samson Mow warned the alleged white-hat hacker attackers at Liquid that the trail they left behind may be longer than initially thought. Mow stated, "The web of justice is wide and inescapable; it will not let anyone escape." Mow also questioned their claim of returning Bitcoin in exchange for a bounty, stating that publicly admitting to taking Bitcoin and demanding a bounty in return is unwise. Mow pointed out that Liquid's approximately $5 billion in assets, including L-BTC, Tether, and real-world assets, belong to their respective issuers and holders and cannot be used as a basis for calculating the bounty. Regardless of other negotiations, all user assets must be returned in full.

According to an article by US stock analyst Paradis on X, Leopold Aschenbrenner, suspected to be the "AI stock guru," and his fund Situational Awareness are making a comeback. Paradis noted that since last Friday, mysterious funds have been intensively buying several highly concentrated AI-related custom options (FLEX Calls), with a total premium of $315 million, a Delta exposure of $1.1 billion, and a Vega exposure of $5.8 million. The holdings are detailed below: - SNDK: January expiring 2040/2200 call options – $57 million premium, $198 million Delta, $1.04 million Vega. - BE: January expiring 250/310 call options – $48 million premium, $140 million Delta, $565,000 Vega. - INTC: January expiring 105/115 call options – $48 million premium, $185 million Delta, $870,000 Vega. - CRWV: January expiring 105/115 call options – $43 million premium, $160 million Delta, $770,000 Vega. - DRAM: January expiring 65/70 call options – $43 million premium, $173 million Delta, $855,000 Vega. - SKHY: January expiring 190/210 call options – $39 million premium, $148 million Delta, $710,000 Vega. - AMD: January expiring 540/580 call options – $36 million premium, $193 million Delta, $1.08 million Vega. If we subsequently see similar large FLEX call option buy orders on MU, NBIS, and TSM, it would essentially confirm that Leopold and his funds were behind it. The above data comes from CBOE, and Nomura (NMR) and Goldman Sachs (GS) trading desks currently share the same view, believing that there is a "same mysterious buyer" behind it all.
