This is true, but it is only "committee approval," not formal legislation. On September 16, 2026 (Eastern US time), the US House Financial Services Committee voted 28-21 to advance the American Reserve Modernization Act (H.R. 8957, introduced by Nick Begich). 1. Core content of the bill - Bitcoin obtained by the US government through criminal/civil forfeiture will be included in the Treasury Department's "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" - Bitcoin must be locked for at least 20 years, during which it cannot be sold, exchanged, auctioned, or used as collateral - Non-Bitcoin crypto assets will go into a "Digital Asset Reserve," which can be converted into BTC or used to reduce debt - Requires quarterly reserve certification plus third-party audits - Does not require the Treasury to aggressively buy 1 million BTC with taxpayer money (more moderate than the earlier BITCOIN Act) - Requires the Treasury/Commerce Departments to study "budget-neutral" ways to increase holdings (without new taxes or deficits) 2. Current progress 1. Passed the House Financial Services Committee ✅ 2. House floor vote (not scheduled yet) 3. Senate approval (no corresponding passed version yet) 4. Presidential signature So the market implication is: the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" is moving from a Trump executive order to legislative codification, reducing the risk of being revoked by the next president's executive order; but it still has several hurdles before becoming law. 2. Impact on the market $AXS The AXS chart is quite interesting; it's quiet outside, but the candlestick is opening up on its own.
Around 0.95, the capital is aggressively buying, with orders on the book fighting each other—pumping then dumping—a typical shakeout pattern.
Unexplained movements without news are the most intriguing; either the manipulators are setting up in advance, or they're pumping to find someone to offload to.
My approach is simple: lightly test around 0.95, and if it breaks below the previous low, exit—no emotional attachment.
Do you think this move is a setup or a bull trap? Let's discuss in the comments.
👇👇👇Jensen Huang said Nvidia's chip sales next year will be twice that of this year. Huawei's Ascend also moved up to 2027. It all sounds like the blazing AI era.
But as a trader, my first reaction to this kind of "doubling guidance" is never excitement; it's to ask: who will foot the bill, and how long will it take to recoup? The harder the capex hits, the tighter the market's patience for returns. Once RPO and free cash flow diverge and turn positive, sentiment reverses faster than anyone.
It's the same principle as at the poker table: when the cards are good, everyone wants to all-in, but the real winners are those who know when to fold. I’m not shorting the AI narrative now, but what I’m watching is the trigger for the bubble to burst, not Nvidia’s PPT.
Are you buying faith, or are you buying the financials? The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points for the first time in three years—what is the crypto world really on guard? This time, the Fed has finally taken action.
On September 16, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate hike, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4%. This was the first rate hike since July 2023, and this time it was unanimously approved.
On the surface, 25 basis points may seem insignificant, but what really matters is the signals that follow.
The Fed's latest forecast shows that this year's median interest rate will be raised from the previous 3.8% to 4.1%, indicating that officials are more likely to continue tightening policy this year. The market is no longer really trading "whether to raise rates this time," but "whether there will be more hikes in the future."
Why is this so critical for BTC?
Because rate hikes mean the cost of funding for the US dollar continues to rise, liquidity is tight, and naturally the pressure on highly volatile assets increases. In the past, the market often simply understood "rate cuts = positive for crypto," but now the environment has reversed, and short-term funds are more cautious.
However, one detail cannot be ignored: this rate hike has already been partially priced in by market expectations, so the real cause of market volatility is actually the policy path that follows.
If hawkish signals continue to be sent in the future, BTC, ETH, and high-beta altcoins may continue to experience rapid valuation cuts;
If expectations for further rate hikes do not heat up further, the market may instead see a rebound of "negative news taking effect."
So the most noteworthy thing now is not just guessing the rise and fall, but three things:
(1) Whether the Fed will continue to do soThe rate hike landing triggered a rebound, and many people have already started shouting "The bad news is fully priced in, the bull is back." Stay calm.
$BTC has pulled back from the low, and the fee rate is still mildly positive. The 24h liquidation orders are washing out shorts — this is called a short squeeze, which is fuel for shorts being squeezed out, not a signal that buyers have taken over. Rebound and reversal are two different things; don't equate them emotionally.
My judgment hasn't changed: before the major trend breaks, this kind of pullback is just normal breathing within a downtrend. It might make you miss out, but it's more likely to cause those chasing longs to catch the top.
Want to catch a reversal? Wait until it stands above the moving average and recovers lost ground with volume. If it can't recover, then it's still a short-term rebound. Don't take hope as a basis for trading.🔥 $BTC / $SOL / $ZEC | THREE DIFFERENT FLOWS

#FedFirst25BpsHikeSince23
#OKX1MillionStrategist Many people treat the funding rate as a contrarian indicator, shouting short when they see a positive value — this is a typical misinterpretation. The funding rate only indicates who is paying, not who is winning. The real game depends on whether the funding rate, position direction, and price structure resonate.
$BTC current price 76402.5, 24h change only +0.18%, but funding rate +0.0077%, longs are continuously paying to hold positions, indicating leveraged longs have not retreated. The problem is the price is not rising: MA5=76442.3 has crossed below MA20=76535.8, MACD histogram -41.16 remains bearish, RSI=48.4 stuck in a neutral to weak zone. Bollinger Bands have narrowed to [76278, 76793.7], with 30 candlesticks showing only 2.53% amplitude, a typical compression before a breakout. Funding rate is biased long, indicators are bearish; this divergence often results in a downward wick to complete a shakeout, eliminating high-leverage longs before choosing a direction. The Fear and Greed Index at 56 is in the greed zone, sentiment has not reached panic, indicating the downside support has not been fully released. My judgment is short-term bearish, waiting for a rebound after the wick.
Entry reference 76500–76650 (rebound at MA5/MA20 death cross pressure zone, also close to the Bollinger upper band 76793 resistance zone). Take profit 1 at 76280 (near Bollinger lower band 76278, first support).That Iranian exchange was named by the U.S. Treasury Department.
The charges are serious: it helped the IRGC transfer hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin.
Just saw this news, and my first reaction wasn’t panic, but familiarity.
In recent years, the number of crypto platforms sanctioned by the U.S. is too many to count on one hand.
BitBank is not the first, and most likely not the last.
What’s really worth paying attention to isn’t the sanctions themselves.
It’s the underlying thread: Iran’s oil money is bypassing the dollar using Bitcoin.
Hundreds of millions of dollars is no small amount.
This shows that this route has already been established and is moving quickly.
What impact does this have on the market?
To be honest, there’s no direct short-term impact.
The sanctioned entity is an Iranian platform, not a mainstream exchange, so liquidity doesn’t flow here.
But don’t overlook one signal.
The regulatory reach is extending further, and compliant exchanges will only become more cautious.
In the future, any funds linked to sensitive regions will face greater difficulty moving in and out.
I take a neutral view on this.
It’s neither bearish nor bullish.
It’s just a reminder: the blockchain has never been a lawless zone; don’t think anonymity means no one is watching.
#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进
#CLARITY法案下一步怎么走？ #贝森特听证释放多重信号 $BTC Tonight's market rally: BTC at 76,988 (+1.43%), ETH back to 2,441, SOL above 100. ZEC jumped 15.9% in one day. But honestly, the more I look at the data, the more uneasy I feel. 1️⃣ This rally isn't a standalone trend. It's a beta rising with US and oil prices. Oil prices fall, ➡️ yields fall ➡️, bears get squeezed out first (short positions are liquidated today, even overtaking long positions), ➡️ and the price rises. 2️⃣ Funds are running. On September 15, US spot BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of 450 million (the largest since June 25). ETH ETFs saw an outflow of 141 million (the largest since January 30). In two days, over $700 million was gone. Spot buying didn't cover up at all. 3️⃣ The position is extremely awkward. Glassnode defines 76,700 as the "real market average." The current price is stuck below this line. If it can't hold 76,700, the next cost benchmark is 71,300. Below that, it's 62,000–65,000. The only hard standard for recovery is to climb back above 76,700 for two consecutive trading days and see capital rebound. Until it happens, it's just a box center movement. ⚠️ One last question: ZEC rose 15.9% in one day, LSK shrank 78.5% after rising 10x last week. Do you still dare to touch these knockoffs now? Discuss in the comments, I'll read every single one. $ZEC $BTC $ETH September 18 Cryptocurrency Market Review: Sharp Drop and Rebound, Shorts Squeezed, but Demand Side Cools Down
The Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate hike, the first increase in over three years. After the decision was announced, the market initially plunged: Bitcoin fell from above 76,000 to 75,064, and Ethereum dipped to around 2,370. The market then reversed, and prices were quickly pulled back up.
In the past 24 hours, the entire network saw liquidations totaling $183 million, including $107 million from shorts and $75.93 million from longs. BTC short positions were liquidated for $55.16 million, ETH shorts for $7.59 million, with the former being more than seven times the latter. In another round of liquidation data, 150,510 accounts were liquidated, totaling $1.83 billion in exits. ETH liquidation volume was $53.09 million, the highest among all coins, with shorts accounting for 76%. Shorts who originally bet on a breakdown ended up being the ones heavily liquidated.
But a rebound does not mean the alarm is lifted.
Glassnode's 37th-week report points out that four demand-side indicators are weakening simultaneously: realized market cap, after rising for 27 consecutive days, showed its first single-day decline; the US spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of $450 million on September 15, with a cumulative outflow of $753 million from September 8 to 15; stablecoin supply remained flat this week, shrinking about 4% from its April peak; corporate treasuries have only increased their BTC holdings by 5,900 coins in the past three months, compared to a single month purchase of 89,000 coins in July 2025.
In short: the short squeeze is just a short-term episode, while weakening demand is the medium-term main theme. Today's resilience does not guarantee tomorrow's peace of mind. Stay out of the market during the FOMC—that's the right approach to binary events.
Before the 25bp rate hike is announced, how many people rush to bet on the direction? If you're right, you're a genius; if you're wrong, you're a gambler—but the problem is you can't even tell which one you are. After playing cards for a long time, you realize one thing: when the information on the table is insufficient and the odds are unclear, the best bet is no bet at all.
I'm not bearish nor stubbornly bullish; I simply don't want to go all-in at a point where I have no edge. Wait for the event to unfold and the direction to break before entering again. $BTC's current rebound—what's the rush? Missing a market move will never bankrupt you; holding the wrong side in a binary event will.
Are you out of the market today? Or couldn't resist taking a shot again?Everyone is saying this is a crypto "liquidation wave," but honestly? The real panic hasn't started yet. $ETH
The VIX is currently at 16. Panic mode only kicks in after it breaks 20. The stock market hasn't started going crazy yet.
If you're waiting for real fear to pile up $BTC, you're still early. What's the real pressure weighing down both crypto and stocks right now? The 10-year yield is slowly approaching 5%. $ZEC
That's the issue. It's not about a bunch of leveraged longs getting blown up on Tuesday. $SOL Last night I was still cursing CNPY, calling it a manipulative whale charging me funding fees every day. But when I woke up, I realized the clown was myself. They weren’t harvesting; they were shaking out weak hands to prepare for a pump! BTC and ETH stabilized the market, the altcoins were busy creating legends, and I was just a spectator. Luckily, I stopped immediately, or I would have lost a fortune.
$AEON
Current price 0.05462, up 8.76%. The new coin’s trend looks quite healthy, but for someone like me who’s been cut by new coins too many times, seeing the words “new coin” triggers a reflex to clutch my wallet tightly, afraid of catching the bag if I jump in.
$CNPY
Current price 0.5823, surged 51.07%! Peaked at 0.6950! It took off vertically from 0.37, rising 143% in 7 days! Turns out the crazy funding fee collection in the past two days was a shakeout to dump weak holders, while the old whale pumped alone to feast. Those who didn’t get on board now are just handing over money, only able to watch others feast.
$ONE
Today’s real “mad bull.” Current price 0.0019882, surged 57.76%, from 0.0007 to 0.0021 in 24 hours, nearly tripling! Up 217% in 7 days! This Layer 1 old coin suddenly revived, completely triggering the shorts above, causing a chain liquidation stampede. This kind of pump doesn’t give you a chance to get on board; if you chase it, it dumps; if you don’t, it keeps pumping, aiming to drive people crazy.
Today’s market: the bold survive, the timid starve. These coins are all at high levels, funding rates are soaring, chasing longs is like touching a live wire, shorting is suicide. I’ll just watch quietly and not be a sacrifice for the whales. 【Top 10 Crypto Traders' Highlights Today｜BTC September 18】
Top 10 Crypto Traders' Highlights Today｜BTC September 18
Morning conclusion: BTC has not broken through yet; it is waiting for confirmation after sweeping the lows.
Daan Crypto Trades (@DaanCrypto) original view (September 17): BTC has swept liquidity below the August low; if it grinds back up, 80000 and 82000 are the remaining major liquidity levels. Editorial inference: current price about 76393, must first hold above 77100 to target 80000.
Josh Olszewicz (@CarpeNoctom) original view (September 18): 4-hour BTC shows potential descending wedge. Editorial inference: wedge supports a rebound but cannot replace confirmation.
Recent views from Pentoshi (@Pentosh1), Arthur Hayes (@CryptoHayes), Altcoin Sherpa (@AltcoinSherpa) all indicate: major coins remain range-bound; BTC stability is more important than chasing longs.
Single path: hold 75700, first target 76500—77100; if stable above 77100, target 80000, and if strong, then 82000. If it breaks below 75700 and the rebound cannot reclaim 76500, the setup fails. Leverage involves slippage, fees, and liquidation risks.

NEAR breaks through 3.18, quadruple resonance, key level 3.35
NEAR breaks through the 1.60-2.85 range since June, current price 3.18. Quadruple resonance.
1. Airdrop lock-up deferred selling pressure. Confidential Intents' TVL exceeds $70 million, triggering 330,000 locked tokens. Only if NEAR's VWAP stays above 3.33 for three consecutive days can these tokens be redeemed. Before the price reaches 3.33, these tokens will not enter the market.
2. Chain Signatures launched. A single NEAR account can operate over 30 chains and more than 180 assets. NEAR is shifting from a general L1 to an AI Agent settlement layer.
3. Shorts are being squeezed. 24-hour short liquidations continuously exceed long liquidations, with long liquidations at zero. Open interest is nearly $656 million, a yearly high, but the fee rate is only 0.0117%, indicating longs are not extremely crowded.
4. Institutional signals. Grayscale's NEAR spot ETF application has been submitted, and T. Rowe Price has included it in a multi-token ETP.
📌 Technical upgrades + airdrop lock-up + short squeeze + institutional endorsement, quadruple resonance.
The key level 3.35 has two meanings. First, it is the resistance at the high point over the past several weeks; second, it is above the airdrop redemption threshold of 3.33. If there is a volume breakout and a pullback confirmation, a multiple W-bottom reversal will form: 1.60-2.40 is the first bottom layer, 2.85-3.35 is the second bottom layer, raising the bottom.BTC: Divergence Between Macro and On-Chain
From the on-chain perspective, spot holdings continue to transfer to personal wallets, long-term holders are reluctant to sell, ETF funds maintain inflows, and the medium- to long-term fundamentals remain relatively strong.
However, the derivatives market shows prominent risks, with high-leverage positions accumulating. Any market fluctuation can trigger large-scale liquidations, intensifying short-term volatility.
Macro news disturbances will continue to affect the market. Without clear signals, BTC will maintain a range-bound tug-of-war.
Short-term heavy positions for speculation are not recommended; wait for a breakout above resistance to be bullish, and manage risk promptly if support is broken.
In an unstable market, altcoins find it even harder to develop independent trends, so prioritize position control.Currently at a critical "life-or-death line," if Bitcoin cannot reclaim $78,300, the market may weaken further like it did in May this year. Bitcoin is now attempting a rebound to retake the important $78,300 level, but this position, previously support, has now turned into resistance, creating significant pressure. The focus is on BTC being rejected again by the 50-week moving average; if the daily chart continues to confirm weakness, the downside could even revisit the approximately $68,000 area. Along with the technical weakening, short-term holders are showing panic selling. Short-term holders (holding 1-3 months at a cost of about $63,300, and 3-6 months at about $73,200) panicked after the bill was blocked, recently transferring about 33,100 BTC to exchanges, of which about 23,200 were transferred at a loss—this is the largest short-term chip sell-off in nearly a month. Currently, market focus has fully shifted to the upcoming FOMC meeting. If the Federal Reserve only raises rates by 25 basis points and signals a "insurance rate hike," BTC is expected to quickly reclaim $78,000 and challenge the liquidity zones at $79,600 and $83,000-$84,000. Conversely, if the dot plot suggests consecutive rate hikes, U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar may strengthen further; in that case, if BTC confirms $76,000 as resistance, the $72,000-$73,000 and $68,000 levels will re-enter the trading view. #新手必看：这里有你需要的一切 #交易之声：你的经验值得被听到 $BTC After BTC surged to 77160 and then pulled back, it is now reported at 76400. ETH rose 2% to 2450, and SOL surpassed 100. In the two days following the FOMC rate hike, the market followed a script of 'bad news fully priced in, then rebound,' with no secondary sell-off. The 75500 support was tested again. However, note that there is selling pressure once the rebound reaches above 77000; both attempts to break higher failed, indicating a tug-of-war between bulls and bears at this level rather than a one-sided rally. I still have buy orders at 75500 and 72500 hanging, no fills yet and I won’t chase; I will naturally catch dips, and if there is a real breakout, the spot holdings will benefit. ETH has already reached the 30% target position and will remain unchanged; SOL will reduce 14 coins as planned next Monday, lowering its share to below 15%. Many people shout 'bull market return' after one bullish candle and 'crash' after one bearish candle, but actually, this is just the early stage of the rate hike cycle with choppy consolidation and bottoming. The direction is not clear yet, so the best strategy is to set your positions and wait. The 77000-77500 range is short-term resistance; only a volume-backed break and hold above it will target 80000. On the downside, breaking 75500 points to 73000. Don’t chase highs or sell lows in the middle range; place your orders well and keep cash ready, let the market come to you.#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 The crypto market has recently seen an interesting situation: the CLARITY Act has hit a roadblock, while two other crypto-related bills are gaining momentum in the House of Representatives.
Shortly after the CLARITY market structure bill faced setbacks in the Senate vote, the House agenda accelerated sharply. The Ways and Means Committee passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act with 38 votes in favor and 5 against. This bill will clarify the full set of tax rules for cryptocurrency income, asset transfers, mining, staking operations, and broker reporting requirements.
On the same day, the Financial Services Committee advanced the American Reserve Modernization Act to the next stage with 28 votes in favor and 21 against. The bill proposes to codify a strategic Bitcoin reserve into federal law, requiring the government to hold Bitcoin for a minimum of 20 years while exploring budget-neutral plans to increase Bitcoin holdings.
Compared to the earlier CLARITY Act, these two bills have more pragmatic implementation value. Once the tax bill takes effect, the long-standing ambiguity around tax reporting for U.S. crypto holders will be clearly resolved. The strategic reserve bill carries even greater weight: if ultimately enacted, it would officially incorporate Bitcoin into the U.S. national reserve asset system, granting it the same institutional status as gold. This is not just a policy slogan but a top-down institutional confirmation.
However, practical operations require rationality; do not treat legislative progress as a catalyst for short-term trading. Regulation is a slow-moving variable, while market drivers like interest rates remain fast-moving variables that truly influence the market. After market sentiment fully digests the news, focus on whether key support levels hold before considering entry timing for a more prudent approach.
So the question is, do you think this strategic Bitcoin reserve bill will ultimately pass? Feel free to share your views in the comments. $BTC $ETH The order book shows ONE repeatedly hovering around 0.002006, with neither buy nor sell order thickness being excessive, but there are continuous support orders around 0.001950 below and stronger resistance orders at 0.002080 above. This structure indicates that the short-term trend is not one-sided but rather a low-level turnover.
Just parked the electric bike safely on the side and took a moment to check the intraday chart; the call to urge orders is still buzzing.
If the price retraces to between 0.001950 and 0.001970 without breaking below, a light long position can be entered, with a stop loss at 0.001880. The first take-profit target is 0.002080, and if it breaks through, look towards 0.002150. If it directly breaks down below 0.001950 with volume, the long position logic is invalidated; reversing to chase shorts is not advisable. Wait for stabilization below 0.001880 before reconsidering.
Currently, there is no clear information guiding the market; only capital flow and naked candlesticks are observed. 0.002020 is the short-term watershed; only breaking above it can confirm a rebound. Failure to do so means a weak consolidation, so avoid heavy positions prematurely.

Decent aside, xU3O8's total market capitalization is about $9 million, priced at $5.66 per unit. An asset managed by Cameco facilities, UK trust-held beneficiary rights, and mapped by Etherlink—the market is this big.
No matter how compliant the custodian bank is, it cannot change its current liquidity thickness.

#CLARITY法案下一步怎么走? #贝森特听证释放多重信号 $BTC $AVAX is slightly bullish in the short term, but the upside is limited by the neutral sentiment of the broader market, so chasing highs is not advisable.
The Fear and Greed Index is at 50, indicating the market is in a neutral zone, with neither panic selling pressure nor overheated buying momentum. With BTC not providing a clear direction, funds tend to rotate among small and mid-cap sectors. AVAX is up 1.97% in 24h with a trading volume of 19.0M USDT, reflecting a moderate follow-up rally rather than leading gains, indicating it is a catch-up asset driven by the broader market rather than an independently strong main theme.
From a technical perspective, MA5=7.6018 has crossed above MA20=7.57835, signaling a short-term bullish structure; RSI=60.5 is in a moderately strong but not overbought zone, leaving room for further upside. Resistance comes from the MACD histogram at -0.006392, with momentum not yet turning positive, and the upper Bollinger Band at 7.64874 forming the first resistance level. The funding rate of +0.0100% is a normal positive value, indicating bulls are not overly crowded, and sentiment does not pose a contrarian risk.
In terms of trading strategy, consider scaling into longs near the MA5 area around 7.58-7.61, with a stop loss placed below the lower Bollinger Band at 7.508; a break below would invalidate the golden cross of the moving averages. Take profit 1 is set at the upper Bollinger Band of 7.648, and take profit 2 near the previous high extension around 7.72. If the MACD histogram fails to turn positive for a long time, consider reducing half the position upon reaching take profit 1.

My judgment: short-term bullish but don’t chase the high, wait for volume to break above 0.00237 before chasing.
Bullish logic: volume is real — three consecutive 15-minute volume increases (415 million → 591 million → 837 million), average volume an hour ago was only 404 million.
A word of caution — daily RSI has reached 75.5, overbought.
Resistance above: 0.00237 (24-hour high)
Support below: 0.000773, 0.0007 (if both break, this structure will deteriorate)
Watershed level: 0.002036, if broken down, watch 0.00086 for gains or losses.
Conclusion: high probability of a shakeout before direction is chosen — breadth shows 66 up and 5 down, BTC 76490 still below ma30 77695, don’t mistake a rebound for a reversal.
Buy low at 0.002036, take half profits at 0.00237, exit if it breaks 0.00086.

$CNPY surged from 0.3698 to 0.6950 today, now at 0.5673, up 47 points. The volatility of this new coin is really outrageous, it rallies almost without any pullback, with a volume of 202 million and a turnover of 115 million, showing strong capital inflow. Looking at the 15-minute chart, it surged to 0.695 at dawn then started to fall back, now breaking below the short-term moving average, STOCHRSI at 24, slightly oversold in the short term, but signs of a high-level pullback have already appeared.
The rally was too fast, chasing longs has poor cost-effectiveness, so I stubbornly opened a small short, betting on a pullback after the high, with a stop loss set above 0.62, quick in and out.

BTC continues to define the immediate structure, with ETH providing the clearest read on capital rotation and market breadth.
If volume expands alongside price and participation remains healthy, conviction strengthens. ETH weakness suggests liquidity is still concentrated.

Watch where liquidity follows leadership. 🔥The order book, not the chart, is the tell. A trader describing a long-running short position on $ZEC says an 8,500-unit stake was liquidated the moment a midnight session began, and the loss came without a headline, a macro print, or any shift in the broader tape. That is the detail worth isolating: if price is moving on flow alone, then the instrument is being traded as a liquidity game rather than a directional bet. The mechanism described is a familiar one in thin books. A large holder or co🟠 $BTC + 🔵 $ETH | 15M

BTC sets the pace. ETH measures the depth. 🔥BTC is currently at a decision point: don't predict every single candlestick, wait for confirmation from three directions first
After BTC climbed back above $80,000, it encountered resistance again and is now returning to the key observation zone around $75,000–$76,000. For the mid-term structure, $75,000 is a short-term watershed, while $80,000–$82,000 is the true trend confirmation zone; only when price, institutional capital flow, and macro conditions all point in the same direction can a recovery restart be defined. Until then, a more practical approach is to prepare for two scenarios: "holding $75K and reclaiming $80K–$82K" and "breaking below $75K and failing to recover," while protecting capital.
Previously, BTC briefly climbed back above $80,000 but quickly retreated, with the price returning to test support around $75,000–$76,000. Many people might simply interpret this phase as the "$75K defense battle," but the real decision point is more complex than a single price level. #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 #长端美债5%会成新常态吗？ $BTC $ETH $ZEC 【BTC 76,442｜After the rate hike lands, the market begins to enter the real game phase】
The Federal Reserve's 25 basis point rate hike has been implemented, and BTC did not continue to drop; instead, it returned above 76,000. This detail is actually quite important—because the market had already anticipated this rate hike, the real factor affecting the subsequent trend has shifted from "whether to raise rates" to "whether further hikes will continue." Currently, the Fed's latest forecast still indicates the possibility of further rate hikes this year, so short-term market concerns about liquidity have not been fully alleviated.
From the chart perspective, around 75,000 is now a key support level. If BTC can continue to hold above 76,000 and break through 77,500-78,000 again, there is a short-term chance to retest around 80,000; but if the rebound fails to reclaim above 77,000 and falls below 75,000 again, then this rebound looks more like a weak consolidation repair, and attention should shift to the 72,000-73,000 area. $BTC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点
From a contract perspective, the most likely scenario now is stop-loss hunting both up and down: with macro news just released, market volatility has not been fully digested, and chasing longs or shorts is easily stopped out. Rather than guessing the direction, it is better to wait for BTC to give clear confirmation at 75,000 or 78,000 before looking at the next move.
This is only a market opinion and does not constitute investment advice. Crude Oil Strategy Analysis (Morning of 9.18)
Combining the latest macro fundamentals and multi-timeframe charts, the current price level (96.53) trading strategy judgment is as follows:
---
1. Fundamentals: Strengthened expectations of supply recovery, geopolitical premium continues to fade
Key variable: Substantial progress in repairing Saudi pipelines. Saudi Aramco is working to bypass the damaged sections, planning to restore about half of the east-west pipeline capacity within a few days (daily oil transport of 2 to 2.5 million barrels), with full repair expected to take about six weeks. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is conducting ship-to-ship transfers via Oman’s Sohar port to supply additional volumes to Asian refiners, effectively bypassing the export bottleneck caused by pipeline damage.
Diplomatic mediation intensifies: Saudi Arabia has formally proposed a two-week ceasefire plan to the Yemeni Houthi forces through Oman and expressed willingness to ease the blockade on Yemen. However, the Houthis remain cautious, demanding a "final and comprehensive" solution, while Iran links the Yemen issue to broader regional conflicts, leaving negotiation prospects uncertain.
Inventory data broadly bearish: EIA data shows that for the week ending September 11, U.S. commercial crude inventories decreased by only 640,000 barrels (expected decrease 1.4 million barrels), gasoline inventories increased by 794,000 barrels (expected decrease 800,000 barrels), and distillate inventories increased by 1.6 million barrels (expected stable). Refinery utilization rate dropped from 97.8% the previous week to 96.8%, with crude oil daily processing volume down by 256,000 barrels.
OPEC+ maintains production unchanged: Seven major oil-producing countries decided to keep the October production quota at September levels, marking the first pause in production increases since the ramp-up began in April this year.
Comprehensive fundamental judgment: The geopolitical premium that previously drove oil prices sharply higher is accelerating its decline. Progress in Saudi pipeline repairs, advancement in ceasefire talks, and broadly bearish inventory data collectively form a short-term bearish combination. However, full pipeline repair still requires about six weeks, so the supply constraint pattern has not been completely reversed.
2. Technical Analysis: Deep oversold across multiple timeframes, rebound demand and downward pressure coexist
Daily timeframe
· Price 96.53 trading above the Bollinger middle band (93.60), mid-term uptrend structure not fully broken
· KDJ death cross diverging downward: K(36.00), D(47.55), J(12.90), J value has entered a low level
· STOCHRSI only 0.93, reaching extreme oversold level
· RSI6 at 52.95, sharply falling from overbought to neutral
· Key support below near Bollinger middle band 93.60
4-hour timeframe
· KDJ deeply oversold: K(31.05), D(27.46), J(38.22)
· RSI6 at 40.74, RSI12 at 43.13, both below midpoint
· STOCHRSI at 23.07, close to oversold region
· Price trading near Bollinger lower band (95.14), middle band at 98.02
· After falling continuously from 101.65 to 94.71, the decline has slowed
1-hour timeframe
· KDJ: K(51.97), D(61.89), J(32.14), still in weak zone
· RSI6 at 46.33, below midpoint
· Bollinger bands opening downward, price near middle band at 96.54

15-minute timeframe (neutral to slightly bullish, signs of rebound)
· KDJ golden cross upward: K(52.39), D(50.20), J(56.76)
· RSI6 at 42.22, neutral to slightly weak
· STOCHRSI at 57.28, with room for further upside
· Bollinger bands narrowing (UB: 96.93, LB: 96.30), volatility decreasing
3. Comprehensive judgment and strategy suggestions
Current price level (96.53) judgment: In the oversold zone after a sharp short-term drop. Daily STOCHRSI only 0.93, 4-hour KDJ at low levels, technical rebound demand is accumulating. But fundamentals are releasing bearish signals collectively, daily KDJ death cross downward, mid-term direction still bearish.
Higher probability profit direction: Short after rebound (right-side trading)
Daily bearish pattern resonates with fundamental bearishness; shorting after rebound to resistance levels offers better risk-reward. Light positions can be taken for short-term oversold rebounds but avoid prolonged holding.
Specific reference points
Short strategy (recommended):
Item Level Basis
Entry range 98.50 - 99.50 Above 4-hour Bollinger middle band (98.02) and previous rebound resistance zone
Stop loss 100.50 Breach of 100 round number invalidates bearish logic
Take profit 1 96.00 Above 24-hour low 94.71 and near 4-hour Bollinger lower band
Take profit 2 94.50 Above daily Bollinger middle band (93.60) support zone
Short-term long strategy (light position, betting on oversold rebound):
Item Level Basis
Entry range 95.50 - 96.20 Near 4-hour Bollinger lower band (95.14) and 24-hour low 94.71
Stop loss 94.50 Breaking 24-hour low invalidates oversold logic
Take profit 1 97.50 Near 1-hour Bollinger upper band
Take profit 2 98.50 Near 4-hour Bollinger middle band
Risk warnings:
1. Saudi ceasefire talks have uncertainties; Houthis set high thresholds, and a breakdown could trigger new supply concerns
2. Fed rate hikes and a stronger dollar continue to suppress commodities; market still digesting hawkish signals
3. Recommend single position size controlled within 2-3% of total capital, with strict stop loss
Summary: Daily STOCHRSI only 0.93, 4-hour KDJ at low levels, technical oversold signals are significant, short-term rebound base exists. But fundamentals are releasing bearish signals collectively, daily KDJ death cross downward; the better strategy is to wait for price to rebound to 98.50-99.50 range before entering short positions, aligning with mid-term bearish bias for better risk-reward. Short-term longs are only suitable for light, quick trades, not heavy holding.This ZEC surge is driven by NU7 governance benefits plus $5.2 million short liquidations triggering a sentiment spike, reaching about $1467 on the 17th, with a 24h gain of +17.28%. However, RSI-14 is around 68.4, and the price is well above the 7-day moving average of 1148, indicating clear profit-taking after overheating;
Holding 1350 indicates strong consolidation, breaking below it would mean a correction opens up. 
Assessment:
• Above 1350: normal shakeout, if the pullback doesn't break it, new highs are possible. Short-term target is 1560, with volume breakout above 1616 then looking at 1886 Fibonacci extension. 
• Breaking below 1350: first targets are 1207/1155–1250; if 1155 breaks, look at 1080–1120, with an extreme fill at 984. 
• Losing 984: indicates the "sell the fact" scenario is confirmed, and the trend shifts from a strong one-way move to a large consolidation range.Uranium tokenization, what is custodied is not the coin
Anchorage has started storing a token called xU3O8 for institutions.
It is backed by physical uranium, priced at $5.66 each.
Where does the money come from:
The uranium concentrate is stored at Cameco's facility.
The beneficial ownership is held under a UK trust.
The token simply moves this layer of rights onto the blockchain.
How is this number calculated:
A market cap of 9 million divided by $5.66.
Back-calculates to about 1.59 million tokens in circulation.
The market cap is small, so a large order can move the price.
It goes into a bankruptcy-isolated account.
The same type of account as $BTC.
The uranium price itself is not on-chain; what is on-chain is the ownership certificate.
What is truly custodied is never the uranium.

#CLARITY法案下一步怎么走？ #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 $BTC U.S. Crypto Legislation Moves Forward on Multiple Fronts: After Market Structure Stalls, Taxation and Bitcoin Reserves Break Through First
U.S. crypto policy is undergoing a notable shift.
On September 16 local time, two major committees in the U.S. House of Representatives advanced two specialized crypto bills: the House Ways and Means Committee passed the Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act (H.R.10357) with 38 votes in favor and 5 against, while the House Financial Services Committee advanced the American Reserve Modernization Act (H.R.8957) with 28 votes in favor and 21 against. The former focuses on the digital asset tax system, and the latter attempts to formally incorporate strategic Bitcoin reserves into the federal legal framework. Ways and Means+1
Neither bill has become law yet; both still require full House consideration and Senate procedures. But when these developments are viewed alongside the previously stalled CLARITY market structure bill, a clearer policy picture emerges: U.S. crypto legislation may be shifting from pursuing a comprehensive market structure bill to advancing multiple tracks simultaneously—market structure, taxation, and national-level Bitcoin reserves.
1. CLARITY Stalls, but U.S. Crypto Legislation Does Not Halt
On September 15, the U.S. Senate voted on the procedural motion to advance the CLARITY bill, which failed to reach the 60-vote threshold needed, with 49 in favor and 50 against. This means the most closely watched comprehensive crypto market structure legislation in the U.S. is temporarily stalled. Bitcoin Foundation+1
The core goal of CLARITY is to resolve which regulatory framework governs digital assets and how different types of crypto assets are classified for regulatory boundaries. Thus, it essentially serves as the "infrastructure rules" for the U.S. crypto industry.
However, the stall of the market structure bill has not stopped Congress’s overall crypto agenda.
On the contrary, the next day, two House committees separately advanced bills on taxation and Bitcoin reserves. From a legislative pathway perspective, this suggests a "split advancement" approach in U.S. crypto policy:
Areas where relatively clear consensus can be reached move forward first, while the most contentious comprehensive regulatory framework continues to be negotiated.
This is why the consecutive progress at the committee level is particularly noteworthy.
2. The Tax Bill Addresses "How Crypto Assets Are Taxed"
The significance of H.R.10357 is not in creating a new crypto regulatory agency but in attempting to systematically integrate digital assets into the existing tax system.
According to information released by the House Ways and Means Committee, the bill covers small transaction exemptions for digital assets, tax reporting, broker reporting, mining and staking income, and some tax treatment rules similar to those for stocks and securities, while also introducing traditional financial market anti-tax avoidance rules such as wash sales.
An important focus is reducing the tax reporting burden caused by a large volume of low-value digital asset transactions.
This reflects that the U.S. crypto market has entered a new phase: regulatory discussions are no longer just about "whether crypto assets should be regulated" but increasingly about how exactly to tax, report, and calculate costs and gains.
For trading platforms, miners, staking participants, and ordinary coin holders, these rules may have a more direct impact than broad slogans.
Of course, clearer tax rules do not necessarily mean a lighter regulatory burden. While the bill simplifies some reporting requirements, it may also close arbitrage gaps between traditional financial tax systems and digital assets through rules like wash sales and constructive sales. KPMG
In other words, this is closer to **"integrating crypto assets into a mature tax system"** rather than simply "cutting taxes for the crypto industry."
3. Strategic Bitcoin Reserves Represent a Completely Different Policy Track
If the tax bill addresses "how transactions and holdings enter the tax system," then H.R.8957 addresses another question:
Whether the U.S. government should institutionalize holding Bitcoin as a long-term strategic asset.
The American Reserve Modernization Act aims to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves and design a clearer legal and management framework for Bitcoin held by the federal government. According to publicly available information, the bill involves custody, transparency, and long-term holding arrangements for government Bitcoin assets, including a holding period design of at least 20 years. GovInfo+1
This is distinctly different from traditional "crypto regulation."
It is no longer just about exchanges, stablecoins, securities attributes, or consumer protection but places Bitcoin within the framework of national asset allocation and federal fiscal management.
Therefore, even though it remains uncertain whether H.R.8957 will become law, the policy signal itself is worth noting: there is already an effort within the U.S. Congress to further legalize and institutionalize the current government Bitcoin holding policy.
4. The Three Tracks Correspond to Three Different Issues
When the key pieces of legislation are viewed together, the structure of U.S. crypto policy becomes clearer.
**Market Structure:** Addresses "who regulates and how." The CLARITY bill is currently stalled in the Senate.
**Tax System:** Addresses "how digital assets are taxed and reported." H.R.10357 has made progress at the House committee level.
**National Reserves:** Addresses "whether and how the federal government holds Bitcoin long-term." H.R.8957 has passed the House Financial Services Committee vote.
These three directions are not simple substitutes but three independent policy modules.
Therefore, the temporary stall of CLARITY does not necessarily mean a halt in U.S. crypto policy. On the contrary, policy advancement may be shifting from "solving all issues at once" to "addressing each area step by step."
5. Why Are Taxation and Reserve Issues Easier to Advance First?

The market structure bill involves core issues such as SEC and CFTC regulatory jurisdiction division, digital asset classification, trading platform regulation, and consumer protection, requiring multiple stakeholders... What sins did I commit in my past life to have to short $ZEC?
I glanced at the K-line this morning.
Almost smashed my phone.
From 1040, a single candle shot up to 1518.
Now it's 1469.
ZEC is flying solo in the sky.
Looking at the broader market, it's all bloodshed.
$BTC hovered around 76400 all night, fluctuating less than 300 dollars, like it was dead.
The 24-hour low was 75800; when that wick plunged, so many long positions got buried inside.
$ETH is even worse, stuck at 2447, rolling down from 2615 without even catching a breath.
Meanwhile, my 5 ETH longs at 1882 are shrinking.
Profits are thinning day by day.
ETH longs bleeding here.
ZEC shorts getting squeezed endlessly over there.
Buying mainstream coins, getting buried alive.
Shorting ZEC, getting tortured.
Bulls and bears alike are being ground into the dirt.
Checked on-chain data, even more despairing.
No real new buy orders.
Just continuous short squeezes.
When shorts liquidate, market buy orders push the price up, triggering the next layer of liquidations.
A perpetual motion machine.
As long as shorts don't die, the squeeze won't stop.
The biggest ZEC short whale on Hyperliquid is underwater by 28 million.

But the money just keeps pouring in.

ETH is lying flat.
ZEC is killing it.
Shorting feels like being a dog.
How is this even playable?

Can't I just admit defeat?An institutional bank narrative tweet has directly stirred up the $CORE community!
This morning's CORE official X post, which flooded the feed, had no major technical updates but threw out a long-term narrative about institutional bank cooperation, instantly igniting discussion.
The core of the tweet: Core is advancing the implementation of BTCFi institutional services, connecting with banking infrastructure. Institutional capital entry requires complete compliant custody and clearing; token release schedules will match institutional entry windows, avoiding a one-time market dump.
✅ Bullish interpretation: This is the project team directly addressing the market's biggest concern about sell pressure. Holding chips without concentrated selling means waiting for the bank compliance channel to be established, leaving room for institutional capital accumulation. Once institutional capital enters, it will fundamentally change CORE's supply-demand dynamics, which is also the main purpose of the Tokyo business visit.
❌ Bearish perspective: Bank cooperation is only a long-term plan with no partner list or implementation timetable. The so-called token release matching institutional windows is more of a market-soothing statement. The ecosystem lacks stable cash flow; no matter how appealing the narrative, it cannot dispel the long-term sell pressure caused by continuous token issuance.
Is this the prelude to institutional capital entry or just a story to stabilize the market? The real on-the-ground actions later will be the only answer.
⚠️ This is only a personal market observation and does not constitute any investment advice. Cryptocurrency is highly volatile and carries significant risk. $SUI current price 0.739 is already close to the upper Bollinger Band at 0.740175, but the funding rate remains a positive +0.0100%—the price has hit the upper band, yet longs are still paying to hold positions. This is the most unusual detail in today's market: bullish sentiment has not faded, but the upside space is completely suppressed by the Bollinger Band. RSI at 68.6 is also approaching the overbought zone, MA5 at 0.7351 is only slightly above MA20 at 0.72809, with minimal moving average divergence, indicating that this +3.88% rally lacks depth and looks more like a test of the upper range boundary rather than the start of a trend. The Fear and Greed Index at 50 is neutral, meaning there is neither panic buying nor euphoric lifting. The 30 candlesticks' amplitude of 7.89% represents moderate volatility. At this point, the worst thing is to heavily chase longs near the upper band.
My view is bullish but I won't chase the highs; I will wait for a pullback to enter. Entry reference is 0.728–0.733, which is the resonance support near the MA20 and the middle Bollinger Band. The MACD histogram is still bullish (+1.285e-05), supporting continuation after the pullback. Take profit 1 is at 0.740, the resistance at the upper Bollinger Band; take profit 2 is at 0.752, the measured extension after breaking the upper band. Stop loss is set at 0.716, just below the lower Bollinger Band at 0.716005. If it breaks below, it indicates the range structure is broken and the longs with positive funding rates will start to be liquidated.$ZEC
Around 1469, this wave has pulled from 1326 all the way up to 1518, the trend is still clearly strong, but the current position has entered a high-level consolidation, so it is not recommended to chase buying above 1470.
Here is what I would do:
Long range: 1455–1462
Stop loss: 1438
Take profit: 1505
If the price pulls back near 1455 without breaking it and then recovers above 1465, consider going long.
Another approach is to wait for a breakout: a 15-minute candle closing firmly above 1490 with increased volume, then you can follow the trend, targeting first 1505, then 1518.
Conversely, if 1450 is lost, the bullish structure starts to weaken, and the downside target is 1420–1430.
The biggest issue now is not whether $ZEC is strong, but whether the previous high at 1518 can truly be broken. Recently, $ZEC has surged continuously, with a significant volume increase on September 17. It is currently in a high-volatility phase among strong coins, and the risk-reward ratio for chasing highs is no longer very comfortable.
My view: wait for a pullback near 1455, wait for a breakout at 1490, and watch 1518 for a true breakout or a rally followed by a pullback. $ZEC ZEC Real-time Analysis｜2026-09-18
Current Price: $1,469 (down about 3% from the morning high of 1,513, considered a “pullback after a rally,” not a bearish reversal)
Rhythm: 1,513 hit previous high/phase high resistance → pulled back to 1,469 with turnover, short squeeze momentum weakened but strong support not broken
Support: 1,452 (today's low) / 1,420 / 1,330–1,350 / 1,266
Resistance: 1,513 (if it can’t break, it will consolidate) / 1,600 / 1,720
Judgment:
Hold 1,452 → high-level oscillation, bulls still in control
Reclaim 1,500+ → retest 1,513, break to target 1,600
Break 1,420 → short squeeze fades, pull back to 1,330
Break 1,266 → real weakness, don’t believe in the “privacy coin bull” anymore
In a nutshell:
1,513 failed to hold, 1,469 has returned—
ZEC is not "blindly charging" now, it’s "bulls taking profits, bears watching, whoever moves first gets shaken out."
Not breaking 1,452 = still can run wild, breaking 1,420 = take profits, breaking 1,266 = narrative cools down. $ZEC The Fear and Greed Index is stuck at 50, BTC moved only +0.57% in 24 hours, but $PUMP surged +13.84% — the overall market is stagnant, yet it runs ahead on its own, which is the most unusual aspect of today's market. It's not a broad rally; funds are clustering locally.
From a technical perspective, $PUMP is currently priced at 0.004096, having risen above MA5 (0.0039862) and MA20 (0.0039363), with moving averages in a bullish alignment; the MACD histogram at +1.353e-06 maintains a bullish stance, RSI at 72.4 has entered the overbought zone, and the upper Bollinger Band at 0.00407141 has been breached by price. The 30-candle amplitude of 13.74% indicates increasing volatility. The funding rate at +0.0032% is positive, with longs paying, sentiment is warm but not extreme. The neutral Fear and Greed reading of 50 means no systemic risk in the overall market, leaving a window for altcoin rotation — when BTC is sideways, funds prefer to speculate on high-volatility assets.
The bias is bullish, but do not chase the highs. Entry reference is 0.00395–0.00402, i.e., buy near the MA5 pullback; take profit 1 at 0.00425 (the first resistance level from the expanded upper Bollinger Band), take profit 2 at 0.00445 (extension from previous highs); stop loss at 0.00385, exit if it breaks below MA20 and RSI falls back. The core logic is moving average support + sustained MACD bullishness; overbought only indicates fast pace, not trend end.
Also watch: $WBTC, $COTI.Actually, I've had friends ask me why I keep holding $ETH all this time? Isn't the price of 2500 quite high? Let me share my view first: I don't think the current price level is high. Secondly, ETH has strong certainty, and conservatively, there's still at least 60% profit potential. Comparing across the board, there aren't many assets that meet this standard, so why not hold it? This actually aligns perfectly with my entire investment philosophy. High volatility $PONS is my lottery ticket position, prioritizing odds with a small position for flexible betting; large position allocation, low volatility, slow climb, and narrative not fully realized $ONDO is my current key alpha opportunity; and ETH is more like my cash base position, used for portfolio defense to stabilize the account's foundation. Many people easily get fixated on price. When ETH was at 3000, they dared to buy; at 3500, they also dared to enter; they bought at 1500 and cashed out, but when it returned to 2500, they became afraid to buy? The price number itself shouldn't be the source of fear; you need to look at the underlying narrative, cycle, and valuation. A low number doesn't mean safety, and a high number doesn't mean danger. The core is judgment—whether the risk-reward ratio at that price level is still worth taking action. I always believe the biggest risk in the market comes from misreading the trend. So I always go long in bull markets and short in bear markets. That's my investment logic. #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 I said $UNI was dead in the middle of its range and there was no trade. Three days later it's at 7.72, up 15% today and 135% on the month.
Here's what I missed. It never lost 6.17, kept building above it, then blew through 6.83 on the heaviest volume in weeks. The base was doing its work while I was calling it chop.
Sitting out a range is fine. Not noticing when it resolves is the expensive part.
7.817 is the high. That's the level now.

The market did not fall into a "catastrophic hell," but the disappointment combined with high Middle East oil prices, Brent crude reaching 105, and the return of inflation shadows has pushed the macro risk tolerance to its limit.
BTC retreated to the 75,900 level, with support at 75,000-75,500 precarious. As a risk ballast, it bears the brunt of selling pressure first; institutional positioning is paused, and independent market moves are unlikely before the FOMC. ETH is more sensitive to policy; under the dual pressure of rate hikes and regulation, it has sharply pulled back with frequent short-term stop-loss triggers. Sentiment coins like DOGE are fleeing in panic, with volatility out of control.
The bill is only procedurally blocked, not completely dead, but short-term progress is unlikely. The recent days of blood and tears remain: after ZEC's wild pump, high leverage washouts occurred, losing 310,000 in one hour at 40x leverage; SOL is under pressure, and 100x long positions are bleeding at the edge— the hotter it gets, the slower you should move. The Federal Reserve decision is the biggest variable; dovish outcomes mean bad news is fully priced in, hawkish outcomes will test key levels.
In the tug of war between bulls and bears, avoid heavy bets on one side. Longevity is the key to trading: no holding through losses, no averaging down, no fantasies; hold a base position for the long term, watch high leverage positions more and move less. #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 I called $DOT the laggard three days ago. It just ripped 6.6% through the level I said it couldn't hold.
Here's what changed. It swept 0.9541, reversed, then blew through 1.0383, the ceiling that rejected it three times. That's a real structure break, not another failed push.
It left a gap at 1.04 to 1.05 on the way up. That's where I want to see it hold.
Laggards turn fastest when they finally go. I was wrong on this one.
Chasing or waiting for the fill? Price bottomed at 10.63 and turned. Missed it by 25 cents. That's the cost of waiting for the perfect entry. I said I'd rather miss a trade than pay up for a bad one, and I meant it. Doesn't make it feel good. It swept 10.908, reversed, and is 11.38 now. Structure has flipped on the lower timeframe. I'm not chasing. 11.20 is the gap I'd want filled first. Ever missed a fill by a few cents? How'd you handle it?$LINK
