S1 TRANSITION (~70%). Q remains supportive on the last weekly print; P tightens, BTC flows remain weak, while price declines and liquidations have renewed negative F feedback. S3 requires evidence of sustained deleveraging.

English research summary (the COMPLETE report is in Chinese above; this is not a full translation): https://argusx.fun/research/liquidity/2026-10-13/daily/

Main state remains S1 TRANSITION (~70% conviction), driven by FLOW and POSITIONING. Fed reserves support Q on the last official weekly reading, but the dollar strengthened, ETF buying lacks confirmation, and Bitcoin's latest decline coincided with rising liquidations. F is FRAGILE-NEGATIVE; feedback gain is tentatively REVERSING, without proof of sustained self-reinforcing deleveraging. S3 needs continuous liquidation/OI contraction with worsening flow or financial conditions. No evidence of policy action or a fresh Treasury session on October 12.
