📌 Crypto Market Outlook:
The crypto market is still a shaky market in October and there is nothing hot in the major speculative markets right now. With Bitcoin's major term IVs currently in the middle of the pack and a significant drop in IVs around the election, it's a good opportunity to lay out some medium to long term calls this week.

📌 On the crypto rate market, the Bitfinex rate market has been relatively flat lately, with occasional 20% high-interest orders, and it's worthwhile to aggressively trade the right rate orders when you come across them, especially when there's a market for them to be paid special attention to.
