ETH liquidation pressure: watch $2,558.65 to the downside and $2,816.55 to the upside.
CoinWorld data: ETH is currently priced at approximately $2,714.75. If the price falls by about 5.75% to around $2,558.65, some high-leverage longs may face concentrated liquidations; if the price rises by about 3.75% to around $2,816.55, some high-leverage shorts may face concentrated liquidations. At present, the upper liquidation zone is closer to the current price, meaning that if the price moves upward, short liquidation pressure may appear earlier. Other notable zones: below at $2,531.5 and $2,477.21; above at $2,979.44 and $3,250.91. The above levels are estimated based on public market prices and changes in open interest, and do not mean the price will necessarily reach them, nor are they predictions of price movement. Compared with the same-caliber snapshot 24 hours ago, it is down 0.55%.
Nokia CEO: Without supply constraints, data center construction would be "twice as fast"
CoinWorld news, Nokia CEO: Without supply constraints, the pace of data center construction would "double." Nokia's CEO said that without the current supply constraints, the tech industry would be building data centers twice as fast. The remarks underscore the persistence of AI demand, even as industry executives debate slowing the pace of development. "I think there's no way to say we're overbuilding right now, because the reality is—if we could build twice as fast, if our customers could build twice as fast, they probably would," said Justin Hotard. "So I'm confident that we're still in the early stages of the AI buildout wave."
U.S. electric vehicle maker Lucid Group's third-quarter vehicle deliveries fell 6.7% year-over-year.
According to CoinWorld news, U.S. electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group's third-quarter vehicle deliveries fell 6.7% year-over-year. Earlier, the struggling pure electric vehicle maker cut production to better match slowing market demand. The company delivered a total of 3,806 electric vehicles between July and September and produced 2,954 vehicles. By comparison, deliveries in the same period last year were 4,078 vehicles, with production at 3,891 vehicles. As of the third quarter, Lucid's vehicle deliveries increased 3.4% compared with the same period last year. Because the company continued to ramp up vehicle production before the start of this year, its production rose 33% year-over-year. Lucid's highest single-quarter production record occurred in the fourth quarter of last year, when production was close to 7,900 vehicles; production in the first quarter of this year was 5,500 vehicles.

The Iranian president said that negotiating with an "enemy" that keeps reneging on its commitments is meaningless.
According to news from Bijie, the Iranian president said that negotiating with an "enemy" that keeps reneging on its commitments is meaningless. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said on the 5th that negotiating with an "enemy" that constantly applies pressure, imposes sanctions, and repeatedly breaks its promises is "meaningless." According to a statement released by the Iranian Presidential Office, Pezeshkian made these remarks that day while meeting with visiting Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Pezeshkian stressed that the United States, after attacking Iran, then claimed it was willing to negotiate, which is precisely a manifestation of its "deceptive behavior." Pezeshkian said that Iran has repeatedly demonstrated its sincerity regarding nuclear activities and has accepted supervision by the International Atomic Energy Agency. When speaking at the United Nations General Assembly not long ago, he said that Iran is "ready to engage in dialogue and verification in the field of nuclear activities." Separately, according to a statement issued by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on the 5th while meeting with Mirzoyan that Iran will "firmly" defend its national interests and security, but has also never hesitated to use diplomatic means to prevent escalation of the situation.
