The first candidate for Bitcoin Core 32.0 was labeled on September 14. Developers connecting to cold wallets or multi-signature wallets need to check a default change: interfaces like createpsbt start generating PSBT v2 by default. The official version is still in the testing process, with release dates subject to future project announcements. PSBT is an exchange format for "partially signed Bitcoin transactions." The common process is to build transaction packets in a connected wallet, hand them to offline devices for signature, and then bring the signed data back to the network side for processing and broadcasting. The build and signing sides must be able to read each other's data. BIP 370 defines v2 by breaking down information from global unsigned transactions into corresponding input, output, and other fields, supporting input and output additions according to rules during construction. It has clear format differences from v0. It only supports older versions of tools and cannot be considered compatible just because the file is still called PSBT. If the business directly calls these Core interfaces without specifying the version, the transaction packets obtained after upgrading may change. If the downstream signing tool only recognizes v0, the process may stall during import. This refers to compatibility risk; there is no evidence that a cold wallet has already failed because of this, nor does it mean the user's private key has been leaked. I will first use the test key to complete construction, signing, return, and final transaction extraction, verifying the payment output, change, and fees. Multisig also verifies whether data returned by different signers can be merged. Only testing the node startup successfullyBut note—BTC rising does not mean the entire market has fully strengthened. Currently, Bitcoin still controls most of the market liquidity and capital attention. What really matters to watch is whether $ETH can start to catch up. If BTC continues to be strong and ETH moves from around $2,300 to the $2,600 area, it indicates that funds are further spreading from Bitcoin to a broader range of crypto assets. ◆ BTC stabilizes + ETH strengthens simultaneously → ↗ capital participation is expanding ◆ BTC stabilizes + ETH lags significantly → → funds are still concentrated in BTC, and rotation has not yet spread Therefore, do not directly interpret a BTC rebound as a comprehensive rise in the entire crypto market. Recently, BTC briefly climbed back above $82,000 before falling back to around $76,000, and the U.S. Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act, further increasing market attention to the regulatory environment. The real question now is not "Who is rising the fastest?" Instead: "Who is starting to follow and confirm this round of market movement?" BTC is responsible for opening the direction; whether ETH and other major assets can be confirmed later better reflects whether market funds are expanding their participation or still focusing solely on Bitcoin. Next, focus on the relative performance of BTC's $75,000–$78,000 range and ETH's $2,300–$2,600 range. MarketETH Market Analysis for September 17
On the 1-hour chart, the core change in today's market is the downward shift of the oscillation center. The previous two impulse highs formed a double top structure. After the second impulse high, the rebound could no longer reach the previous high, with highs gradually lowering. Today, the price directly broke through the lower boundary support of the double top that had been maintained for a long time, accelerating downward to hit a new low for this cycle. The brief intraday small rebounds failed to retake the recently broken support line, which has now turned into resistance. This indicates that the short-term market's long-short balance has been completely broken, switching from previous range-bound trading to a dominant downtrend structure. The price made new lows, and the CVD followed downward without showing a bullish divergence, indicating that today's decline was not simply a passive liquidation stampede but involved continuous active selling pressure suppressing rebounds. Each minor rebound saw weak active buying, with sell orders quickly pushing the price back down, and no new funds entering to buy the dip and support the price. Compared to the previous consolidation phase where CVD was flat, indicating balanced funds, today's CVD turned downward continuously, showing that funds shifted from a wait-and-see stance to active exit. During the decline, open interest briefly rose then quickly fell. The drop involved some traders trying to buy low and open long positions, while shorts added positions in line with the trend, amplifying the long-short divergence. The short-term longs buying the dip triggered stop losses and were forced to exit, causing open interest to shrink. Essentially, the newly added dip-buying longs were quickly stopped out and shaken out, with no long-term funds adding positions against the trend. There was no large-scale sustained short position increase; the decline relied more on long stop losses combined with continuous active selling. If the price continues to make new lows, with CVD continuing downward and open interest shrinking, it means long stop-loss positions are still being cleared and the downward momentum will persist. There is no clear support below, so the focus will be on sweeping liquidity below. If the price makes new lows but CVD does not follow with new lows (a bullish divergence in funds), and open interest quickly and sharply falls, it means stop-loss positions are basically cleared, which could lead to a corrective rebound driven by short covering. However, this would only be a rebound, with heavy resistance above after the breakout, making it difficult to return directly to the previous consolidation range. For a strong price rebound to occur, the price must retake the broken support level, CVD must turn upward, and new active buying must enter, which could pull the market back into range-bound trading. Currently, the probability of this is low Layer 4: What truly determines Bitcoin's fate is not interest rate cuts
Bitfinex's analysis hits the nail on the head: about $1.95 billion in short liquidation risk is concentrated near $82,000, with a large number of long positions in the $75,000-$76,000 range.
What does this mean?
Shorts above are waiting, longs below are waiting. Whoever gets liquidated first becomes the fuel.
And the real key variable has never been the rate cut itself. It's the real yield.
Bitfinex clearly points out in the report: rising energy costs, increasing real yields, and weakening consumer confidence are making the macro environment more complex. Whether BTC can break through the current range depends on the Fed's policy guidance and the subsequent trends of real yields and energy prices.
U.S. Treasury yields once broke through 5%, hitting a 19-year high. In an environment with a 5% risk-free yield, the valuation ceiling for zero-yield assets like Bitcoin is tightly suppressed.
A 25 basis point rate cut only lowers the rate from 4.25% to 4.00%. But the real yield — interest rate minus inflation expectations — remains frighteningly high. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 Day 1 after the FOMC announcement, I don't chase rebounds, just do three things
At posting time BTC: 76435
ETH: 2433
Market status: Rate hike priced in, but the dot plot is hawkish; BTC dropped back to 75,000 then bounced above 76,000, which is an oversold correction, not a trend reversal.
My approach:
• Spot: Hold steady, don't change belief because of one rebound candlestick
• Futures: Don't chase longs, anything below 78,000 is weak; treat the 77,500–78,000 resistance as a zone to reduce positions or test shorts
• Grid: Set orders between 75,000–77,500 to capture volatility, keep the range tight
• Position size: Total risk ≤1%–2%, the biggest fear after FOMC is "reckless trading after relief"
In short: News landing ≠ risk disappearing. In a hawkish cycle, survival is more valuable than guessing direction.
Did you make any of these 3 mistakes today?
1. Got stopped out by a spike at dawn, then recovered in the morning
2. Saw the rebound and thought the bull market was back, went all in
3. Didn't trade, but stayed up late watching the market and lost your mind
4. Closed the market and slept, waiting for the structure to unfold

#创作者激励 After the Fed re-entered its rate hike cycle, ZEC once approached $1,180 again, but from the current market situation, bullish momentum clearly hasn't fully recovered. I originally thought a breakout might occur near $1,205, but unexpectedly, the price failed to hold even the previous highs and returned to the $1,150–$1,180 range. The most critical point now is this level. If ZEC can break through $1,200 with increased volume, short-term sentiment may improve further; But if it fails to hold and even falls back below $1,120, profit-taking and stop-loss positions may increase again. The bigger problem is the macro environment. The Fed recently raised rates by 25 basis points, raising the target range to 3.75%–4.00%, while policymakers signal that rate hikes may continue this year. The strengthening of the US dollar and US Treasury yields has also brought additional pressure to the entire crypto market. ZEC itself had already experienced a very strong rally, with prices near $1,000 in early September, then briefly surging above $1,250. Therefore, the current high-level volatility also means the market is re-absorbing previous gains. To be honest, what I'm most concerned about now is not whether it can immediately continue to rise, but whether it can hold back above $1,200 first. If not, short-term trading may require further grinding. As for my long position at $1,245, that level is indeed thereBitcoin has already entered a region historically associated with lower entry risk and strong long-term asymmetry.
However, according to the Sharpe Ratio, this phase still requires significant resilience, as current returns remain poor relative to the level of volatility being assumed.Everyone was focused on CLARITY slamming the door, and no one noticed that two small windows quietly opened on the same day.
Yesterday in the Senate, the CLARITY motion to end debate failed; it didn't reach the 60 votes needed, and the whole network was discussing "regulation is going to be delayed again."
But on the very same day, the House did two practical things: the Digital Asset Taxation Act passed the Fundraising Committee with 38 votes in favor and 5 against; the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act passed the Financial Services Committee with 28 votes in favor and 21 against.
One manages taxes, the other manages the national coin reserve. They didn't make trending topics or headlines, but the votes were real, and they really passed.
I mentioned the reserve act before, when it was still "pending review" and hardly anyone was paying attention. Today it passed the committee, yet no one looked back.
This is the problem in the crypto world: big news causes uproar, but real progress goes unnoticed.
Actually, the logic is clear. CLARITY is too big, trying to swallow everything at once—market structure, stablecoins, DeFi all packed in—and it got stuck. Smaller, focused bills on taxation and reserves are easier to pass, solving "how to report taxes" and "don’t recklessly sell seized coins" step by step, which actually goes further.
Bitcoin didn’t rise or fall today, hovering around 76000. The market is still digesting the rate hike and hasn’t paid attention to this line. But legislation is something that, if you only notice it when it hits the headlines, it’s already too late.
Big bills stumble, small bills run. Which do you think will land first?
#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 $BTC $ETH $ZEC If Trump loses the midterm elections, will the cryptocurrency market crash?
Many people are currently wondering if the crypto market will directly crash if Trump loses his advantage in Congress after the midterm elections. Considering the current reality of the "Clear Act" facing obstacles, we can break down the expectations to avoid being misled by a single narrative.
First, part of the recent market rally has already priced in expectations of Trump-friendly regulation, the implementation of the "Clear Act," and the U.S. introducing Bitcoin reserves as a series of policy benefits. If the Republicans lose the midterm elections and control of Congress changes, the difficulty of advancing industry-friendly legislation will sharply increase. The market will immediately start to discount this policy premium, leading to a short-term emotional sell-off. However, an emotional sell-off does not equal a full-scale crash.$BTC + $ETH + $SOL | MARKET UNDER REVIEW
The market is not short on momentum. It is short on proof.
$BTC remains the liquidity anchor. $ETH must prove that strength is broadening beyond Bitcoin. $SOL is where higher-beta demand becomes visible.
The hierarchy is simple: BTC leads, ETH confirms, SOL amplifies.
If BTC loses structure, the rotation thesis weakens fast.
Momentum attracts attention.
Confirmation earns conviction. The $75,000 you see now is not panic. It's someone cashing out profits.
Layer three: But this time there is a fundamental difference from 2019
In 2019, Bitcoin was still a retail toy. Pricing power was in the hands of crypto-native funds, leverage was the main theme, and sentiment was the engine.
In 2026, the rules of the game have changed.
Bitcoin's pricing power has irreversibly shifted from crypto-native funds to traditional institutions. BlackRock, Fidelity, Invesco—these names are now sitting at the BTC table.
ETF fund flow data tells you everything. During the period with the strongest expectations of rate cuts, the US spot Bitcoin ETF attracted $853.5 million in five trading days, with BlackRock's IBIT alone accounting for $690 million, about 80%. The cumulative net inflow reached $52.18 billion.
But pay attention to the details. Institutions bought during the peak of rate cut expectations, then fund inflows began to slow. On Thursday, daily inflow was $128.7 million, dropping to $98.9 million on Friday.
This is not retail chasing the rally. This is institutions building positions during the “buy the rumor” phase, then pulling back during the “sell the fact” phase. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 Before the Federal Reserve's move in September, the chessboard already smelled of the bloody scent of sacrificing pieces to gain momentum. As a grandmaster, I don't look at a single square; I calculate whether the king's fortress will leak twenty moves ahead. One million dollars is not just a chip; it is the total sum of all pieces in the entire game; crypto, US stocks, and commodities are not three separate tables but a triple constraint on the same open line.
The interest rate decision is the opponent's critical midgame move. Once it moves, the dollar, US Treasury yields, and risk appetite—three diagonal lines—open simultaneously. Spot is the central pawn, slow to occupy squares but providing the fulcrum for the whole board; dollar-cost averaging is a chain of pawns advancing, exchanging time for space; grid trading is a maze of exchanging pieces, eating small pawns in oscillations, but easy to trap oneself when the trend arrives; futures are heavy pieces firing in a straight line, but leverage exposes one's own king on the open line; options are bishops, protecting the king diagonally, buying priced uncertainty; cross-market portfolios are multi-piece coordination, with rooks, knights, and bishops each guarding a line.
The linkage of US stock tokenized assets is not a lone horse but a constraining piece hanging on US stock risk appetite. If rates lean hawkish, growth stocks are first to be exchanged, and the liquidity of tokenized assets is like thin pawns, amplifying slippage; if dovish, they resemble promoted pawns charging straight to the baseline. Their order book depth is like constrained light pieces, only able to follow the main board's rhythm. If Nasdaq futures volume shrinks, their passive buy orders thin out, and prices are easily pierced by a rook-like long straight line; if crypto main board funding rates turn negative, their rebound is like a pathway pawn, just one square away from promotion. The key lies in their synergy with the crypto main board, Nasdaq, and the dollar index: if synchronized, the boards merge; if divergent, the opponent is making moves on another flank.
If I hold one million dollars, I first deploy an endgame mindset: 30% spot as the king's fortress, 20% dollar-cost averaging as the pawn chain, 10% grid trading as exchanging pieces, 10% options as bishops, 20% futures only activated when confirming midgame offense, and the remaining 10% reserved for cross-market linkage. It's not about equal distribution but ensuring each piece protects the others. If a false breakout occurs after the rate move, first abandon the weakest pawns, never rescue isolated pawns; if the trend is confirmed, exchange heavy pieces for light ones, concentrating firepower to break open the open line.
The real killing move is not in the news headlines but in the forced response of the opponent. Before the decision, the market will create bait: fear and greed swing like a pendulum, price anomalies like traps of sacrificed pieces. A grandmaster watches whose time is tighter, whose king is more exposed, whose pawn structure is irreversible. Going all-in on high volatility is like leaving the palace early, being hunted by rooks, knights, and bishops; going all-in on spot is like pushing pawns without developing pieces, waiting for the endgame to die. Cross-market is not flashy; it leaves retreat paths and attack lines for each piece.
The Federal Reserve's finger hasn't touched the piece yet, but many kings are already pinned on the open line by leverage. #okx1millionstrategistMany people have been focused on ZEC these past two days. Privacy coins inherently have much greater volatility than BTC. After the Federal Reserve's decision was announced last night, the market performance was very representative.
Before the decision, BTC was oscillating and consolidating, while ZEC already had capital positioning ahead of time. The core speculative logic recently: Grayscale's ZCSH spot ETF brings institutional capital inflow, combined with the NU7 network upgrade vote passing, keeping the narrative hot. So this rally was strong, with shorts continuously squeezed out.
After the Fed's announcement, ZEC's volatility immediately amplified. It first surged quickly following the broader market, attracting many buyers. Then, the Fed's tone turned hawkish, causing concerns that high interest rates would persist longer, putting pressure on risk assets collectively. ZEC then quickly retreated, with a decline noticeably larger than BTC's.
The reasons are simple:
1. ZEC is a highly volatile altcoin; it surges sharply when there is a hot narrative, but when macro headwinds hit, capital flees faster. With many leveraged contracts, stop-loss hunting is more severe.
2. Its rise is not entirely tied to the broader market; it benefits from an independent privacy coin + ETF narrative, but macro liquidity is the ceiling. When the Fed signals hawkishness, even strong themes can't withstand short-term capital withdrawal.
3. There is a large amount of accumulated profit-taking; any news triggers profit realization first.
Seeing it strengthen independently makes some think they can ignore the broader market and heavily invest. During macro news windows, highly volatile coins are most prone to "pump and dump" moments.
No matter how good the theme is, the broader market environment matters. In such conditions, if you don't understand, just watch and don't get attracted to short-term spikes to chase highs.
$ZEC #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #ZEC机构资金入场，高位杠杆开始出清 Changing the fee pricing unit to USDC is like having all the completion drawings approved, and then suddenly switching the main water and electricity valves of the entire building from the municipal network to a private well—this is not just a soft decoration adjustment, this affects the load-bearing system, it affects the foundation.
Arc mainnet opens, paying fees with USDC. In my industry, this is called the issuer personally stepping in to pour the structural layer. In the past few years, stablecoin issuers only did three things: produce blueprints, collect rent, and connect to municipal pipelines. But the settlement layer has always been someone else’s foundation. Now they have driven piles into the clearing layer, transforming from cement sellers to general contractors, from developers to the builders themselves.
What truly determines whether this building can stand is never the renderings in the blue book. Renderings can show a 300-meter tower with sky gardens, double-curved curtain walls, and revolving restaurants; but whether it can withstand wind loads, meet seismic design standards, or whether the pile foundation will float when groundwater rises, all depends on the underlying structure and construction quality. Whether it can attract real-world assets, cross-border payments, foreign exchange, and institutional capital flows depends on the actual reinforcement ratio of this structure. Insufficient reinforcement, and the building will still sway.
USDC extending from matching and lending scenarios to financial clearing means pushing the commercial activities originally only in the podium all the way into the core tube of the main tower. Once the core tube is formed, vertical transportation, electromechanical systems, fire protection, and curtain walls must all be arranged around it. Any later modifications will cost as much as rebuilding. The issuer building their own settlement network is valuable not because it opens another chain, but because it welds the currency and the paths it flows through into one—this is the moat and the most expensive structural reinforcement.
Conversely: a settlement layer without real transaction volume is like an office building with very low occupancy. It looks impressive with glass reflections during the day, but at night only three windows are lit, and the property fees can’t be recovered. The so-called reserve support and institutional narratives are just renderings in brochures before handover; only real capital flows count as passing the completion inspection.
Looking at the linkage of US stock tokenized assets like $xTSLA: turning traditional equity into on-chain certificates is like transforming an old city district into prefabricated buildings—short construction time, uniform appearance, easy to replicate. But prefabricated buildings fear inconsistent interfaces: if the settlement layer’s valves change, the inflow and outflow pressure of upstream assets must be recalculated, and clearing periods, exchange rate conversions, and compliance reviews are all pre-embedded at nodes. If Arc truly connects institutional capital flows, these tokenized assets have found their load-bearing wall; if not, they are just billboards pasted on the curtain wall, rattling in the wind.
I have a strict rule when reviewing drawings: first check the foundation depth, then the facade design. The issuer moving from issuing currency to clearing is adding foundation depth; various parties competing for height in multi-chain, payment, and institutional infrastructure is adding floors.
This settlement layer poured by the issuer will either become the load-bearing core tube of the entire financial district or a construction permit that never gets approved. #arcadoptsusdcgas⚡ Luckily, it moved fast; this wave of shorts was almost caught off guard and reversed.
Just now, Bitcoin surged directly from around 75,300 to 76,500, with a rebound stronger than the previous wave. If you closed your short position a second slower, your mindset would have collapsed.
This is the classic script of an interest rate hike landing.
The market had already priced in only 25 basis points in advance; the previous round of decline had fully reflected expectations. Now that the negative news has landed and emotions have been released, funds are starting to execute a rebound based on realized expectations. Plus, short covering pushed the price directly up.
But note — we can’t say the selling pressure has completely disappeared yet.
Going forward, the bias is bullish, but don’t get carried away. Focus on one key level: the recently reclaimed 76,200–76,300. Can it hold?
If it holds, the bulls continue; if it breaks, the script rewrites.
📌 Bitcoin $BTC short-term strategy: buy on pullback
Support to watch: 76200–76300
Resistance levels: 76550, 76900–77350
Entry condition: After pulling back to the support zone, wait for the 15-minute candle to close above 76300, then enter long between 76300–76400
Stop loss: 75900
Take profit: Take half off at 76900, watch the remaining position at 77300
Cancel condition: Cancel if price breaks below 75900 before entry or confirms a breakout above 76400 after entry
Validity: Until 06:00 on September 17; cancel if not triggered
Summary in one sentence: The negative news being fully priced in doesn’t mean you should blindly rush in; it gives you a better odds window. Stick to discipline, don’t mistake the rebound for a reversal. Don't rush to interpret "still in the green the day after a major outflow" as "institutions accelerating their exit."
According to SoSoValue's metrics, on Tuesday Eastern Time, the US stock market spot BTC ETF saw a net outflow of about $450.3 million (the largest single-day outflow since around June 25), ETH ETF about $141.5 million, totaling nearly $592 million. The next day (Wednesday) under the same metrics: BTC about $99.2 million, ETH about $13.9 million—roughly shrinking to about 20% of the previous day's scale. On Thursday morning, Korean media cited this to suggest the CLARITY negotiation window is narrowing.
A common misunderstanding is: two consecutive days of net outflows = panic intensifies, institutions are rushing to exit. The truth is: the second day is a reduced volume continuation of outflow, not an accelerated exit; a single-day pulse cannot be extrapolated as a trend switch. Legislative delays may increase hesitation, but "still outflowing" and "accelerating exit" should be viewed separately.

Current price 76,200, pulled back from the 24h low of 75,000, narrowing the decline to 0.7%. Interest rate hike finalized = bad news fully priced in, but the rebound is weak — the pit at $79,000 that failed three times to break through still remains.
▍📍 Market Overview
Good news: SEC approved ETF physical in-kind subscriptions/redemptions, BlackRock's IBIT attracted $350 million in one month, the capital channel has revived. Bad news: The dot plot still shows one more hike this year, Wall Street bets on another 50bp hike before year-end, Strategy hasn't bought coins in two weeks, corporate buying has cooled off. Technicals: RSI 41 is weak, hourly MA20 at 76,204 and MA50 at 77,307 are pressing overhead.
▍🎯 Trading Plan
Entry: Buy on pullback to 74,500-75,000 for the first level; conservatively wait at 73,000; chase if volume breaks above 76,440.
Targets: 76,440 → 77,100, only consider trend if it holds above 80,000.
Stop loss: Unconditionally exit if daily close falls below 74,500, next supports at 73,000 and 71,300.
▍⚠️ This is an oversold recovery, not a reversal. There is another rate decision on October 27, don't mistake the rebound for a bull market.
Not investment advice, trade at your own risk $UNI is starting to look more interesting to me precisely because price action feels disappointing. The protocol hasn’t stopped building. Uniswap has processed $70B+ in transaction volume over the past month, while 1,700+ tokenized RWA assets have reportedly been launched. Ink has also integrated Uniswap across its Web App, wallet, and API. So the interesting question isn’t “Why isn’t UNI pumping?” It’s whether the market is simply taking time to price in what the protocol is already doing. ForThe former tells you: the economy is in trouble.
Second layer: historical data will slap you in the face if you only see "rate cuts = good news."
I reviewed the data of U.S. interest rate cycles over the past 35 years. The conclusion will make you uncomfortable.
During the 2019 rate cut cycle, Bitcoin rose 161.7% between the last rate hike and the first rate cut. The Nasdaq only rose 23.2%, and gold rose 13.7%.
Then what? After the rate cuts actually took effect, Nasdaq and gold continued to rise, but Bitcoin entered a wide range of volatility.
Looking at earlier data, during the 2007 rate cut cycle, Nasdaq rose before the rate cuts, then fell after the cuts, only restarting near the end of the rate cut cycle.
The pattern is extremely clear: rate cuts are already priced in before they happen. The moment rate cuts take effect is the start of "selling the fact." $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 If you consider me a contrarian, $SPCX should have profited

First, the closing price holding steady at 150 is a good sign
Let's see how it goes in the next few days. If it remains this stable
Then SPCX continuing to break through 160 is not impossible

#美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 At 4:50 AM, someone opened a 5x long position on $ZEC worth $11.66 million.
The average price was $1322.49, with 8,469 coins.
Currently, the unrealized profit is $480,000.
My first reaction when seeing this wasn’t envy, but frustration.
$ZEC liquidations in the past 24 hours reached $57.36 million, second only to $BTC and $ETH.
What does this number indicate?
It shows that this coin has been experiencing sharp price spikes recently, with both bulls and bears getting heavily stopped out.
Then this guy went all in with 5x leverage at 4:50 AM and became the 7th largest $ZEC long holder on Hyperliquid.
I guess he’s not betting on a short-term move.
Taking action at 4:50 AM means either he was watching the market obsessively or had set the order in advance.
5x leverage isn’t very high, but with $11.66 million on the line, it shows he’s really bold.
Here’s the catch: as the 7th largest position, there are 6 bigger longs ahead of him.
If the price goes up from here, everyone profits.
If it crashes, it’ll trigger a stampede where no one escapes.
Honestly, it’s best to just observe trades like this and not get too excited.
He’s got $480,000 unrealized profit, which might only be a small part of his total position.
If you rush in after him, the liquidation alerts will be sent straight to your phone.

#BTC财库优先股融资升温 #OKX预言家：来星球玩预测 $ZEC $BTC Interest rates have been cut. Bitcoin has dropped.
You are confused. The market is also confused. But if you have read history, you shouldn't be confused at all.
First layer: This rate cut is not the kind of rate cut you think it is.
First, clarify one thing: The Fed's rate cut this time is not the kind of "floodgate opening" you imagine.
Powell said a very key sentence at the press conference: "This is a risk-control type rate cut, not the start of a sustained, long-term rate cut cycle."
In plain language: I cut rates because I'm afraid the job market will collapse, don't overthink it.
Look at the employment data to understand. The Fed's own statement clearly says: "Employment growth is slowing, and downside risks are increasing." Although the unemployment rate is still at 4.5%, the direction has already changed. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进
The U.S. House of Representatives advanced two major crypto bills on the same day: the "Digital Asset Tax Certainty Act" passed the Finance Committee with a large majority, and the "U.S. Reserve Modernization Act" (Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act) also completed committee voting and will move to a full House vote.
Key points of the two bills:
1. Crypto Tax Bill: Introduces stock wash sale rules into the crypto market to close existing tax loopholes; exempts capital gains tax on gas fees under $10, simplifies tax calculation for small stablecoin transactions, and improves the industry's tax framework.
2. $BTC Strategic Reserve Bill: The Treasury will establish a national Bitcoin reserve; BTC seized by the government will be included in the reserve, with a minimum 20-year lock-up period during which BTC cannot be sold; requires quarterly reserve certification plus third-party audits; clarifies that the government cannot arbitrarily sell off its holdings.
Personal view:
This is a major positive signal for U.S. crypto legislation, but do not blindly chase the highs.
Positive logic: The reserve bill locks government-held BTC, reducing large-scale sell pressure; the tax bill fills regulatory gaps, lowering institutional compliance uncertainty, which is beneficial for long-term institutional capital inflow.
Risk reminder: So far, only passed the House committee; it still needs full House voting and Senate review, so the formal enactment process is long. Coupled with setbacks to the CLARITY Act, there remain significant divisions within Congress.
The short-term market focus remains the FOMC decision; these bills are mid-to-long-term narratives and are unlikely to immediately drive a strong market rally, with a risk of a pullback after initial gains.Bitcoin's current 1-hour chart has started a large-scale corrective wave from the high point, now in a rebound repair phase within the downtrend. The key resistance is at 77800.
Why is 77800 a critical watershed? From the wave pattern perspective, during the previous downtrend, 77800 was the high point of the prior rebound wave and also the upper boundary of the consolidation box.
Moreover, a large amount of trapped positions have accumulated in this area. When the price rebounds to this level, previously trapped holders will concentrate on selling to break even, creating selling pressure;
From the wave structure, this is a rebound within a downtrend. As long as it cannot break the previous rebound high, it remains a weak rebound, and the main downtrend structure is not broken.
In the short term, if volume increases and the price stabilizes above 77800, it means buying power is sufficient to absorb trapped positions, breaking the pattern of lower lows in waves, likely ending the correction phase and opening rebound potential.
If the rebound hits 77800 and is resisted, then bulls are insufficient, and this is just a rebound repair within the downtrend, classified as a B-wave rebound. A new downtrend wave will follow. Currently, 76000-76300 is the lower boundary of the recent consolidation box and the first short-term support. Once broken, it indicates short-term bullish defense failure; 75000 is the low point of the previous downtrend and a strong support level for this correction. If this level fails, the downtrend space will further expand.
Trading suggestion: Buy near 76000-76300, with a stop loss at 75300, target near 77800-78300. If broken, look towards 79000; if not broken, consider short positions.
(Strategy is for reference only, please invest cautiously)Interest rate cut implemented, but Bitcoin actually fell? The positive news you thought was already fully priced in.
— The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points. Then Bitcoin dropped from 80,000 to 75,000. This is not a surprise, it is inevitable.
Were you glued to the screen last night waiting for the FOMC results?
At 2 a.m. Beijing time on September 17, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%, the first cut since December last year.
The dovish stance has arrived. The liquidity turning point is here. The money printing machine is about to restart.
What was your first reaction? Buy more. Go all in. The bull market is back.
So how did Bitcoin move? Within an hour after the decision was announced, BTC plunged from its high, briefly touching $75,355, down about 4% over 7 days. $BTC $ETH $ZEC #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 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 Short-term predictions have limited significance; daily fluctuations of two to three thousand dollars are very common.

#zcash up 6% ZEC's surge is making my scalp tingle, but when will it crash?
ZEC is like a runaway wild horse right now, the ETF has nearly tripled this quarter, and Grayscale's fund size is close to $1 billion. Market sentiment? Four words: FOMO is overwhelming.
But bro, the crazier it rises, the more I want to ask: if this thing falls, how will it crash?
Let's first talk about the core conditions for a decline.
First, leverage blows up. ZEC futures open interest once surged to $2.3 billion, accounting for 14% of market cap. There was a 24-hour liquidation of $17.2 million before, causing open interest to drop 20% directly. What does this mean? The longs are too crowded; even a slight tremble triggers a chain of liquidations.
Second, EMA50 breaks. The $1110 level is a critical watershed; if broken, the next support is at $1059, then down to the EMA200 at $872, about 20 points below the current price. Such a drop in crypto is just a matter of a few candlesticks.
Third, the narrative collapses. Wang Chun directly criticized ZEC as a "narrative buy," saying market cap ranking does not equal real usage demand. This hits hard but is true—are you buying privacy, or are you buying the candlestick chart?
ZEC is now supported by sentiment and leverage; once EMA50 fails to hold or ETF inflows slow, a long squeeze will happen in minutes. Brothers chasing highs, set your stop loss properly The strongest performer in the market is actually $ZEC, a piercing arrow +22%, more than doubled in a month
During this period, I also made some gains 😁
Nearly 70% of accounts next door are on the short side, shorts got heavily squeezed, volume ratio 1.08 is not explosive but the rise is fierce.
The real catalyst is on the governance side: Grayscale spot ZEC ETF (ZCSH) launched on August 25, attracting over 460 million; NU7 governance upgrade (block time from 75 seconds to 25 seconds, 99.9% approval); single-day short liquidation over 45 million, short squeeze. The privacy coin sector is being repriced overall (regulators are more comfortable with "optional privacy").
This is a genuine market driven by institutions + short squeezes, not a pump-and-dump. But RSI at 75.9 is overbought, with over 200 million contract OI hanging, a pullback could happen anytime. Many traders chase a coin just because it’s rising well, but never ask: is it genuinely strong, or is it just being lifted by a sector-wide rally? Going long without horizontal comparison is essentially gambling on luck.
Comparing $ETH within the current mainstream public chain sector, the answer is clearer. SOL 24h +2.19%, RSI 61.7, volatility 3.67%; PENGU 24h +3.53%, RSI 66.7—both have gains surpassing ETH’s +1.11%, but ETH’s trading volume is 799.2M, far exceeding SOL’s 225.8M and PENGU’s 7.2M. This means ETH’s rise is supported by deeper capital, not just pulses in a small pool. Meanwhile, ETH’s funding rate is only +0.0032%, SOL’s is +0.0001%, indicating low long crowding and no signs of overheating; ETH’s RSI at 59.3 is the lowest among the three, furthest from the overbought zone, so the pullback risk is actually smallest. The Fear and Greed Index is 50, neutral, with no emotional premium in the market. In such an environment, assets with volume advantage but lagging gains often have conditions for a catch-up rally.
Directionally, I am bullish on $ETH. $BTC $ETH The matter of interest rate hikes
In the early hours Beijing time, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25bp for the first time in three years, bringing the rate to 3.75%-4%. This rate hike had already been fully priced in by the market, with a probability of over 90%. The real negative factor is not this rate hike itself, but the hawkish signal released by the dot plot: there is a high probability of another rate hike within the year, and high interest rates will be maintained for longer.
After the decision, BTC quickly dipped in the short term, then rapidly recovered most of the losses, resulting in a "bad news priced in" volatile market without a crash.
Logic: The rate hike has already caused a prior drop in recent times, representing "buy the rumor, sell the fact." However, the pressure from sustained high interest rates has not been fully digested. The essence of the rate hike is to tighten US dollar liquidity. With rising yields on US Treasuries and deposits, Bitcoin, as a non-yielding high-volatility asset, faces higher opportunity costs for holding, which will suppress large-scale inflows of incremental off-exchange funds.
Focus on the following two points:
1. US inflation CPI and PPI data, which will determine whether another rate hike will be realized in October-December;
2. Whether BTC’s key support levels hold; if support fails, it means the hawkish expectations truly dominate the market.
In summary: This rate hike is already priced in, so there is no need to panic excessively; however, "high interest rates maintained longer" is a medium-term pressure hanging overhead. Any rebound should be viewed as short-term, and a trend reversal requires confirmation from liquidity easing signals.
This is a personal opinion; trade cautiously.[Sniffing] Spot ETF single-day drainage nearly 600 million: price has V-shaped, funds have not V-shaped yet
Fact: On Tuesday, US spot BTC ETF was about -450 million, ETH about -142 million, totaling nearly 593 million, the harshest single day since June; continued bleeding seen on Wednesday (reported partial period BTC about -99 million). BTC around 76464 (+0.8%), ETH around 2434 (+1.3%), F&G 50. CLARITY is the sentiment trigger, the real pricing is subscription and redemption.
Judgment: Retracing 76,000 ≠ institutional inflow. Without ETF turning positive, the rebound should be viewed as a cover first.
Vote: One scare will cause inflow / outflow may continue / watch price not ETFThe second-round inflation effect refers to the transmission of rising energy and commodity prices to wages and the service sector, forming a sustained endogenous inflation. Currently, this transmission is weak, which is the core reason for the Bank of England's pause in raising interest rates.
Although rising energy prices bring external inflationary pressure, internal wage and service inflation have not formed a sustained spiral increase, so most members tend to wait and see.
From a global macro comparison: the Federal Reserve has just released a slightly hawkish dot plot, while the Bank of England chooses to wait and see. The divergence in monetary policies between the UK and the US will bring an independent market for the pound and UK bonds.
Mapping to the crypto perspective: the Bank of England's inaction is a regional news event, with limited impact on BTC and ETH, and will not change the main market trend dominated by US Treasury yields and Federal Reserve policies. It will only cause disturbances to pound-related trading products. Going forward, focus on tracking UK CPI and international oil price changes. 9 coin samples all rose then 5 fell, turnover down 54%
From 09:00 to 10:00, all fixed 9 coin samples closed up; from 10:00 to 11:00 only 4 rose and 5 fell, turnover dropped from 84.527 million to 38.5954 million USDT, down 54.34%.
UNI turned from +1.60% to -1.02%, OKB from +0.90% to -0.05%; BTC and ETH closed up, gains narrowed to +0.01% and +0.05% respectively.
If in the next 1H at least 6 close up and turnover is above 38.5954 million, breadth recovers; if at least 6 close down and turnover expands, weakness continues. Which coin turning strong would make you overturn the "breadth cooling"?
#BTC #ETH #OKB#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 What signals are being sent? Recently, two crypto-related moves in the U.S. House of Representatives are worth noting.
One is that crypto tax rules are being advanced, and the other is that the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve-related bill has been passed by the committee.
Let's start with taxation.
The House Ways and Means Committee passed a bipartisan crypto tax bill supported by a vote of 38 to 5, with core provisions including tax exemptions for small digital asset transaction fees, clear tax payment times for miners and staking rewards, and extending the stock market's "wash and sale rule" to digital assets.
This event may not seem as thrilling as BTC breaking new highs, but it is actually very important.
Because when an industry truly enters the mainstream, the first step is not just to "allow transactions," but for the government to establish a clear set of tax rules for it.
The biggest headache for many crypto users used to be was:
When is taxable income calculated?
When are staking rewards taxed?
How are on-chain transaction fees calculated?
Can losses be offset with other transactions?
Without unified rules, both institutions and ordinary users face compliance costs.
Now that the U.S. is gradually incorporating these issues into its legal framework, crypto assets are moving from "special assets" to normal financial assets.
More noteworthy is the BTC reserves.
On September 17, the U.S. House Financial Services Committee passed H.R. 8957, the U.S. Reserve Modernization Act, by a vote of 28 to 21, which seeks to give "strategic Bitcoin reserves" a clearer legal status and stipulate that the federal government holds them9.17 BTC Short-term Tracking｜Don't Chase the Rebound After the Fed's Landing
The Fed's 25 basis point rate hike has been implemented, and the market priced it in advance, so the short-term situation looks more like an "emotional recovery after the bad news has been fully absorbed."
However, Powell's speech was hawkish, the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and the valuation pressure on risk assets has not truly eased.
The previous decline caused by regulatory negative news has been partially digested around 750, but there is no new strong positive catalyst now, and ETF funds have not shown obvious inflows, so I have doubts about the sustainability of this rebound.
Key levels:
Resistance: 768–772
Strong resistance: around 780
It is not suitable to chase longs directly now.
If the price returns to around 768–772 and shows a long upper shadow or volume-driven pullback, consider light short positions with a stop loss above 776, targeting around 755 first.
If it retests 755–758 and stabilizes, then consider small positions to bet on a rebound, with a stop loss below 749.
Until it effectively holds above 780, I still define this as a corrective rebound after a decline.
Better to wait for signals than to chase hard under moving average pressure! $BTC $ETH #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #Robinhood stock tokens plan to support physical redemption and voting
I'm more concerned about what rights can be obtained, rather than just having a few more stock codes
According to Orbit topic introduction, although existing tokens have a 1:1 reserve of real stocks, holders do not directly own the underlying stocks
The company is developing physical redemption and voting functions, which will be available to eligible users in the future
This is a plan and cannot be considered as already launched
AMC previously questioned unauthorized tokenization, and the issuer agreed that the issue remains controversial

$xHOOD #RWA$BTC 📊 Current Market Overview
After the Fed's rate hike was implemented, BTC dipped to a low of 75064, then rebounded to 76342, with a slight 24-hour increase of 0.71%. The total liquidation across the network reached 335 million, with short positions losing 185 million, slightly heavier than longs. The funding rate is +0.0059%, indicating longs are paying, but the market is not overheated. Spot demand remains weak, with a net outflow of 450 million from the US spot ETF in a single day.
In short: Futures longs are bottom-fishing, spot funds are exiting, both sides are tugging between 76000-76500.

🎯 Key Levels
Support: 75700 (Bollinger Band middle line + long-short dividing line) → 75000 → 73500
Resistance: 76500-76600 (short-term strong resistance) → 77000-77500 (dense short zone)

🐻 Short Strategy (Main Strategy)
Logic: No buyers in spot; a rebound to resistance is a shorting opportunity.
· Entry: Around 76300 now, or wait for a rebound to 76600-77100 for light short positions
· Stop Loss: 77700 (breaking here means rebound exceeded expectations)
· Targets: First 75000, second 74300
---
🐂 Long Strategy (Trial Only, No Heavy Positions)
Logic: Futures longs are supporting the bottom, but spot hasn't followed, so rebound strength is limited.
· Entry: Buy on a pullback near 75700 after stabilization, or between 75000-75400
· Stop Loss: 74600
· Targets: 76600, with a volume breakout aiming for 77000-77500 #FedRaisesRatesBy25bpsForFirstTimeInThreeYears

💎 My Judgment
At 76300, neither short nor long feels comfortable.
· Resistance above at 76500-76600, chasing longs is likely to be pushed back.
· Support below at 75700; shorting now risks being stopped out if futures longs continue to support.
The safest approach: wait.
· Consider shorting only after a rebound above 76600, with a clear stop loss.
· Or consider going long after a pullback to 75700 confirms stabilization, with controlled risk. Account Position Divergence Radar

Actually, it's not surprising at all.
In recent years, looking at Web3, AI, SaaS, Fintech, you’ll notice the presence of Indian engineers and founders is getting stronger and stronger.
Why?
Simply put, there are a few reasons: large population base, many STEM talents, good English skills, and a very mature overseas talent network.
An Indian person goes to the US to study, joins Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and a few years later might move to Singapore, Dubai, or London. Then friends, classmates, and relatives follow.
Over time, this creates a strong "talent network effect."
My own experience in Singapore is very clear too; there are many Indians in IT, finance, consulting, and MNCs.
And crypto itself is a globalized industry:
Founders in India, fundraising in the US, engineers in Singapore, community in China, funds on-chain.
For a project, I think the global talent network behind the team is also worth considering as an observation dimension. Previously, my rule was not to participate in teams from Israel/India.
By the way, regarding the recent $CRCL, I tend to see it as a short-term negative, with the long-term logic to be discussed separately. The Fed's latest policy meeting hammered in, with another 25 basis point rate hike, and the Fed Chair voted in favor. As soon as the decision was announced, the US dollar index quickly climbed back above 100, putting pressure on gold, and this tightening narrative once again severely disrupted global risk appetite. If this decision is seen merely as a routine rate adjustment, it underestimates the political and economic calculations behind it. The new Fed chair's current core demand is to establish absolute credibility and independence within the committee. By decisively raising interest rates to curb inflation spread and break the market's one-way reliance on rate cuts or "nanny-style forward-looking guidance," the essence is to reclaim policy leadership from financial markets. The White House's high-profile expressions of "regret" and calls for significant rate cuts have created a subtle public tension, which in turn reinforces the Fed's image as a puppet and independent, even carrying a hint of a carefully crafted double act. However, the real deadlock in inflation is not in interest rates themselves. Although officials emphasize employment resilience and claim financial conditions are not yet truly restrictive, everyone knows that the most realistic price shock currently stems from geopolitical conflicts tearing apart international crude oil and energy transportation corridors. As long as the risk spillover from the energy artery does not subside, inflation will remain stubbornly sticky; and if it backs down now and does not raise rates, market inflation expectations will immediately spiral out of control. The deeper tension lies in the contradiction between capital expenditure and macroeconomic realities. Whether in administration or the Fed, the underlying consensus is to bet on emerging production factors like AI to drive long-term productivity gains, while$ROBO is around $0.008
I think it's a good time to start buying a little
ROBO is currently about $0.0083, down nearly 87% from the March high of $0.0618, with a circulating market cap of only about $20 million.
I've recently revisited ROBO, mainly not because it has dropped enough, but because Fabric has indeed advanced the robot economy products in the past six months.
In July, RoboPay was officially launched, allowing robots to directly turn capabilities like delivery, inspection, filming, and robotic arm operation into pay-per-use services; Fabric also allocated 1 million ROBO tokens for developers to integrate RoboPay into 12 robot platforms.
ROBO itself is not just a governance token. According to the official design, future network fees generated by robot payments, identity, and verification will all use ROBO. Developers and enterprises entering the ecosystem will also need to purchase and stake ROBO, and part of the protocol revenue will be used to buy back $ROBO from the market. The infrared reading of the thermal imager has already broken through the critical threshold of 72 degrees, and thick smoke is starting to press down from the ceiling. This is not a charge signal, but the final alarm that the entire building is about to undergo a full-scale flashover at any moment.
$ZEC has surged all the way to 1381.17, just a step away from the upper Bollinger Band at 1402.45. A group of speculators, some not even wearing air respirators properly, are desperately squeezing deeper into the fire scene on fragile carbonized prefabricated boards, thinking there is gold inside, but they have no idea that the steel support beams overhead have already been heat-distorted.
After years of crawling and struggling in the special firefighting squad, I only believe in one hard truth: an interior attack without properly laid escape hoses and backup air tanks is simply a death sentence. The RSI has already soared to 72.2, indoor oxygen is being frantically consumed by the bulls, and the current surge is just the last counterattack before a flash fire. The middle band at 1285.10 is the only safe and solid support below.
My trading manual is as strict as the emergency response manual: never blindly fight in the most intense danger zones, only set up water gun positions in the fire-retardant zones where the fire is weakening.
- Target: $ZEC 🔴
- Entry: 1375.00 - 1395.00
- TP1: 1285.00
- TP2: 1168.00
- SL: 1415.00
The safety officer’s retreat whistle will not sound twice. If 1415.00 triggers a circuit breaker, it means the structure has completely collapsed, and the hose must be decisively cut off to withdraw from the interior attack scene.🧑🚒🧯
#StrategyPlaybookDeutsche Bank officially announced plans to launch digital asset custody for European institutional and corporate clients within the year, pending completion of applicable regulatory procedures. The first batch will support BTC, ETH, as well as stablecoins/e-money tokens like USDC, EURC, EURAU; the bank will custody wallets and private keys and enable transfers to third parties. Tokenized financial instruments are included in the subsequent roadmap.
Cointelegraph cited a spokesperson saying that under the EU MiCA framework, the custody license may be granted in October — which does not mean accounts can be opened and deposits made today. With the recent rate hike just implemented and the CLARITY bill stalled, European major banks are using compliant custody to build infrastructure for institutional entry, contrasting with the legislative gap on the US stock side. Custody does not equal buying pressure; do not interpret the announcement as direct spot inflows #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 $BTC $ETH entry.#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议
Just saw that the CLARITY Act got stuck in a procedural vote in the Senate, with 49 votes in favor and 50 against, falling just short of the 60-vote threshold. Many people's first reaction: Is the bill completely dead? Actually, no, this was only a failure in the procedural vote, not a final rejection. There is still the possibility of restarting negotiations and reconsideration later.
But this vote exposed very fatal divisions: conflicts of interest involving the Trump family's crypto holdings, stablecoin incentives, state law enforcement authority, and consumer protection. These major points of contention have directly split the lawmakers' camps. As soon as the news broke, BTC immediately dropped below $75,000, and crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and Circle plunged simultaneously.
Looking at CoinGlass data, 24-hour liquidations hit $647 million, with $524 million in long liquidations, washing out a large amount of long positions.
The market is now caught in a dilemma.
Optimists believe the bill is only temporarily shelved, and all parties will renegotiate and amend the terms, with a chance to restart in the future;
Pessimists think the congressional legislative path is blocked, regulatory initiative will return to the SEC and CFTC, administrative regulatory measures will continue to tighten, and long-term industry uncertainty will rise.
My view: The short-term emotional shock has already been priced in. The sharp market drop plus long liquidations reflect the market pricing in "legislative progress falling short of expectations." But the bill cannot be declared dead in the mid to long term. Going forward, the focus is on two things: first, whether the two parties in Congress can sit down again to negotiate and compromise; second, whether the SEC and CFTC will bypass Congress and directly implement regulatory frameworks through administrative rules.#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议
Procedural vote on the CLARITY Act blocked: The crypto market's expectations took a hit first
The long-awaited U.S. crypto milestone bill got stuck at the Senate's first hurdle.
The procedural motion received 49 votes in favor and 50 against, falling short of the 60 votes needed to start debate. The CLARITY Act, which aims to clarify the regulatory boundaries between the CFTC and SEC and establish federal rules for stablecoins, has temporarily failed to gain entry. But it’s important to distinguish: the bill was not outright rejected; it simply cannot enter the Senate debate process for now, and there remains the possibility of restarting negotiations and revoting in the future.
This vote split exposed sharp divisions: conflicts of interest involving the Trump family's crypto assets, stablecoin incentive provisions, the division of enforcement authority between states and the federal government, and consumer protection details—all key points of contention. As soon as the news broke, the market reacted immediately: BTC quickly dropped, briefly falling below the $75,000 mark; crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and Circle also weakened. Within 24 hours, liquidations in the market reached $647 million, with $524 million in long positions liquidated, wiping out a large amount of capital betting on the "bill passing smoothly and a favorable market".On the day the rate hike was implemented, BTC initially dropped then stabilized, indicating that part of the market pricing has been completed. Next, watch the dot plot and the speech to see if they are more hawkish. If they imply more rate hikes within the year, risk assets will struggle to have a big rally; if more dovish, activity above 78,000 may resume. Historically, September tends to be weak, so even if bullish, it is better to buy the dip rather than chase the rally. 75,000 is the short-term lifeline. $BTC One wants to catch a breath, the other wants face and credit.
Old Trump wants to cut interest rates, preferably down to 1% or even lower.
Warsh first raised rates by 25 basis points, pushing rates to 3.75%—4%.
What's even more interesting is the unanimous 12-0 vote, with some even thinking there might be another hike this year. No choice, that's what everyone thinks. Haha.
So Trump started cursing on his own media, Truth Social.
Trump
What he really wants is cheap money.
The US has $40 trillion in debt, and the higher the interest rate, the greater the fiscal interest burden. Cutting rates can also stimulate real estate, corporate financing, and asset prices, giving the US economy more room to leverage.
Warsh
He faces a different calculation. Inflation hasn't been fully tamed yet. If rates are cut now, who will pay for the Fed's credibility? The president can't just say cut rates and have the Fed comply. If that happens, US Treasury yields might need to be repriced going forward.
So the two have started to diverge in their goals.
Trump: Make money cheap first, let the fiscal and economic situation catch a breath.
Warsh: Control inflation and the Fed's credibility first, then talk about cutting rates.
But the real problems remain unsolved,
AI capital expenditure needs money,
Energy needs money,
The US fiscal deficit also needs money.
Everyone is competing for liquidity from the same pool.
Next, watch closely whether the US can bring rates back down under the pressures of high debt, high capital expenditure, and high inflation.
If it can't, this rate hike might not be the end; more hikes may be needed. Otherwise$BAND Just scanned through, $BAND /USDT around 0.1801 looks interesting. No news to talk about, purely technical: after a drop, it consolidated for a while, volume is more active than the past few days, and the order book occasionally shows support, like a shakeout and test by a manipulator. Why is it worth watching? These unpopular coins without narratives often move faster than hot ones once volume picks up. But I'm only trying a small position; if it breaks the previous low or volume doesn't keep up, I'll exit—don't get too emotional. What do you think, is 0.18 here accumulation or a fakeout?
👇👇👇The thing the market feared most yesterday finally materialized. The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, marking the first rate hike since 2023. More importantly, the latest dot plot shows that by the end of 2026, the median rate will be about 4.1%, meaning the market still needs to face the possibility of further rate hikes. The normal logic should be: rate hikes → liquidity tightening→ risk assets fall. But BTC's actual performance is not that simple. BTC once fell to around $75,000 before the decision, but after the news broke, it actually returned to around $76,000. So what I really want to study today is not "Has the Fed raised rates?" Instead: why hasn't BTC continued to crash after the negative news landed? ⸻ Level 1: The negative side has already been traded in advance by the market. This may be the most important information today. The market didn't just learn yesterday that the Fed might raise rates. Before the decision, BTC had already fallen from near $80,000 to around $75,000. In other words: some of the negative expectations have already been priced in in advance. So what truly determines BTC's next direction is no longer just "whether to raise rates." Instead: will rate hikes continue in the future? ⸻ Second layer: The real pressure now comes from US Treasuries In the past, many people watched BTC only at the Federal Reserve. But now, I think we should focus more on the 10-year US Treasury yield. Previously, the 10-year US Treasury yield briefly broke above 5%, reaching near its highest level since 2007
