It is reported that Beijing has issued a guidance that requires new data centre projects that have received any state funds to only use domestically developed AI chips. Thus, ruling out the use of foreign AI chips with authorities even ordering data centres that are less than 30% complete to remove all previously installed foreign chips.

Adding to that, the government has also order for said centres to cancel plans to purchase foreign chips as it appears that there is a continued fallout between the US and China on this matter at least.

For some context, most data centres in China do received some form of state funding in their setting up. So, this ruling will impact the majority of the development in this space. One of the sources say that this directive is already starting to have impact with a facility in the northwestern province now being suspended after earlier planning to deploy Nvidia chips instead.

The source also adds that the guidance issued will cover Nvidia’s H20 chips as well as B200 and H2000 processors. On the latter two, they have been banned by Beijing but had been widely available in China through backdoor channels. So, the government is moving to outright just ban their usage it would seem.

Bitcoin Futures tradeCompass Map and Execution Plan (Nov 5, 2025)

Summary Box (prices are for Bitcoin futures)

• Bullish above: 101,375

• Bearish below: 100,665

• Primary bias: Map driven. Prefer patient entries over chasing.

• Current price: 102,430

Bitcoin Market Context and Directional Bias

Bitcoin Futures tested the 100,000 round number after a decline of about 22 percent from the 127,240 all time high to 99,250. Round numbers attract liquidity and often spark short covering and first attempts to buy the dip. tradeCompass does not try to call a final bottom. It gives you a price map with activation thresholds and logical partial profit targets so you can execute with discipline.

Price is currently above the bullish threshold at 101,375. The challenge is timing. Entering here exposes you to a pullback toward the threshold. tradeCompass favors waiting for cleaner interactions with the activation level or for acceptance to rebuild near clear magnets such as a developing point of control.

Bitcoin Futures Price Activation and Entry Tactics

Long idea

• Use 101,375 as activation. Prefer one of these instead of chasing:

  • Pullback and hold near 101,375. Let price retest 101,200 to 101,400 and re accept above 101,375 before committing.

  • Reclaim sequence after a deeper dip. If price slips under 101,000 then reclaims 101,400 and 101,500, that sequence offers confirmation without losing the tradeCompass logic.

  • Acceptance near 101,650. If the developing point of control continues to build around 101,650, entries anchored there are valid as long as 101,375 holds on retests.

Short idea

• Use 100,665 as bearish activation. If price breaks and holds below 100,665, sellers regain control and the path opens toward 100,000 and yesterday’s low.

Bitcoin Key Levels and Partial Profit Strategy for Today and This Week

Long partial profit targets after activation above 101,375

• 101,650. Yesterday’s point of control and current intraday acceptance magnet. First scale to pay for risk.

• 101,950. Today’s developing point of control region. After TP2, move stop to entry.

• 102,655. Near today’s high and close to yesterday’s VWAP. Common mean reversion checkpoint.

• 103,150. Prior micro shelf. Expect responsive sellers on first touch.

• 104,065. Upper composite shelf. Suitable for final scaling. A later test of 104,635 can occur but is not part of today’s official targets.

Short partial profit targets after activation below 100,665

• 99,645. Demand pocket above the big figure.

• 99,285. Consolidation shelf where bounces often trigger.

• 98,720. Measured extension under yesterday’s low where stop clusters tend to live.

• Runner to 95,100. Keep 25 percent for a structural slide if weakness extends.

How Crypto Traders Use the Compass in Real Time

• Treat thresholds as a map.

• If price approaches a threshold but fails to hold, a fade back into the prior range is valid.

• If price breaks and holds through a threshold, follow the partial profit ladder for that side.

• One trade per direction per tradeCompass to avoid overtrading.

Stop Loss Logic and Risk Controls

• Place the initial stop just beyond the activation side with a small buffer.

• For longs that activate above 101,375, the stop sits just below that line with a sensible cushion.

• Never place a stop beyond the opposite threshold. If the opposite threshold breaks, the idea is invalid and you should already be flat.

• After TP2, move the stop to entry to protect gains and let the runner work.

Tactics by Trader Type

Day traders and leveraged traders

• Wait for a retest and hold of 101,375 or the reclaim sequence through 101,400 and 101,500.

• Take partials at each listed target.

• If you miss a move into resistance, wait for the next clean interaction rather than chasing.

Short term swing traders

• Use the same activation and targets with a slightly wider tolerance.

• Keep the partial profit ladder identical.

• Move to breakeven after TP2.

Long term investors timing a dip

• Use 101,375 as a timing tool.

• If it fails and 100,665 breaks, step aside and wait for a fresh reclaim.

• This avoids parking a distant stop far below and hoping. Small tactical losses are acceptable if they buy you a better entry later.

Educational Corner: Partial Profit Taking that Serves the Plan

• Scaling out at logical magnets such as point of control zones, yesterday’s VWAP, and prior shelves smooths your equity curve.

• The first partial helps pay for risk.

• The second partial reduces exposure and calms decision making.

• The remaining size is your optionality for an extended move.

• This approach keeps you flexible without guessing whether a swing becomes a trend.

Optional Confirmation

• If you like extra confirmation, consult your candles and a simple rule such as two closes through a threshold on the 5 minute chart or a timed hold.

• Order flow tools like orderFlow Intel can help some traders refine timing, yet they are not required. tradeCompass by itself is sufficient for an organized plan.

Trade Management Reminders for Bitcoin Traders Today

• One trade per direction per tradeCompass. Over trading in crypto will almost surely bust you out.

• Move the stop to entry after TP2 to protect gains and manage the runner.

• Do not place stops beyond the opposite threshold.

• Avoid chasing. Let price come to your map.

In focus today In the US, the October ADP private sector employment report is due for release this afternoon. The release is likely to get more attention than usual due to the delays to the BLS’s monthly jobs report. ADP’s early estimate based on weekly employment data until 11 October indicated small, but positive employment […]

Warren Buffett’s name has become as legendary in the world of investing as Bruce Lee’s in martial arts. So it’s no surprise that millions of investors closely track every move in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio, even if only after the fact, through documents such as Form 10-Q and Form 13F.

However, in recent years, Buffett’s activity has been relatively moderate, mainly limited to cutting Berkshire’s position in Apple or accumulating cash reserves. Many view this growing accumulation of cash as a classic Buffett signal: “be cautious when others are greedy,” and a possible indication of an imminent collapse in the S&P 500 or Nasdaq.

But they seem to forget that Berkshire Hathaway is not a typical investment fund. It is a conglomerate based on insurance and reinsurance businesses, which, by their nature, require a considerable amount of cash on hand in case insured risks materialize.

It is also possible that Buffett is laying the groundwork for his successor. The 95-year-old investor will step down as CEO at the end of the year, with Greg Abel set to take over.

Therefore, placing too much importance on changes in Berkshire’s portfolio, as if they were warning signs of a crisis similar to that of 2008, could be overly simplistic. There could be many other reasons for such moves, including simple portfolio optimization.

But what are the real chances of a market crash?

Beyond the Treasury’s fiscal challenges, ongoing trade tensions, and mixed signals from the Federal Reserve, the so-called “permabears” have identified another potential black swan: weakening consumer confidence.

On the macroeconomic front, The Conference Board’s consumer confidence index fell slightly in October, dropping 1.0 points to 94.6. While views on the current situation of businesses and the labor market improved modestly, short-term expectations for income, businesses, and employment fell 2.9 points to 71.5.

On the corporate side, reports like Chipotle’s start to worry. The company reported a 4% decline in same-store sales last quarter, with CEO Scott Boatwright noting a “meaningful pullback” among younger and lower-income customers.

Still, the overall earnings picture isn’t bad. According to FactSet, with 64% of S&P 500 companies having reported, 83% have posted positive EPS surprises and 79% have exceeded revenue expectations. Add to that the ongoing AI boom and the Fed’s approaching QE shift — and the market growth might still have some fuel left.

Regarding how an investor can protect their portfolio from potential market downturns, Buffett’s investment philosophy offers valuable guidance: buy businesses, not just stocks, and when evaluating companies, focus on adjusted earnings instead of short-term market noise.
