The Federal Reserve will announce the results tonight, which will be around tomorrow morning domestic time. BTC has shaken a bit these past two days; most people in the market expect a 0.25 increase — this has basically been anticipated in advance.
The real pitfall is treating the "whether to raise or not" as the script. More crucial in public reports is how many more times they will raise, how the dot plot will be drawn, and what Warsh will say. The 10-year Treasury yield is almost touching 5%, and when money is expensive, leveraged positions are especially vulnerable.
Are you sitting out watching the show, or holding leveraged $BTC waiting for the news? Let's talk about the Fed's forward views on its rate decisions
The market has already priced in about 90% of the 25 basis point rate hike in $BTC
Key data supports include August CPI (core year-on-year decline but monthly gains rebound), July PCE (inflation still significantly above target), and August employment (far above expectations, employment has not significantly worsened)
However, I hope everyone does not assume that just because the probability of a rate hike is as high as 90%, it will definitely be 100%.
Not all inflation indicators are worsening. Core CPI has indeed declined year-on-year. Will this indicator be used again to raise interest rates and leave some time to observe?
Also, is a rate hike always negative? We simulated several scenarios in the livestream scenarios for $ETH
1: Raise 25bp by Wash's dovish speech (including no possibility of further rate hikes in 2026). US Treasury yields and the dollar retreated; negative news turned positive and rebounded
2: Add 25bp to Walsh signaling entry into a rate hike cycle; US Treasury yields and the dollar surge, putting pressure on the crypto market as bearish
3: Unexpectedly not raising interest rates because CPI is manageable, inflation still has room to cool. US Treasury yields are falling. To protect US stocks (buying time for AI to buy space), $ZEC
4: Add 50bp, no one should survive, risk assets will plunge across the board
Pay attention to the key news from Walsh's speeches: how many more increases will be made at the end of the year? Is there still a possibility of interest rates rising next year? How will Washington explain energy and inflation
Additionally, the Clarity Act received 50 opposing votes, and the Republicans even had a mole involved. Tonight's Federal Reserve policy is putting considerable pressure on the crypto world
#本周FOMC揭晓, can rate hikes be implemented?
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议
#AI发展焦虑升温, regulatory discussions have escalated $ZEC
The future of ZEC essentially revolves around the interplay of "privacy narrative + institutional compliance potential + technological iteration," but the biggest ceiling comes from global regulation, followed by its own technical and ecosystem issues.
✅ Favorable factors (potential future opportunities)
#Unique differentiated positioning: optional privacy + auditability
ZEC is the only mainstream privacy coin project that supports a View Key: it can perform fully anonymous transactions or selectively disclose transaction records for auditing and compliance reporting.
- Market narrative: In the AI era, on-chain data monitoring is becoming stronger, making financial privacy a new demand story. Many institutions regard ZEC as a “Bitcoin with privacy features,” with a total supply of 21 million coins, PoW mining, four-year halving, and a monetary model highly similar to Bitcoin.
Institutional funds have already entered, improving liquidity
- The US Grayscale ZCSH spot ETF has been launched, the world’s first privacy coin ETF, opening the door for institutional funds in the US stock market; Robinhood has also listed ZEC, expanding retail investor access.
- In early 2026, the US SEC concluded its investigation of the Zcash Foundation without issuing penalties, removing a major regulatory uncertainty.
- Many institutions and corporate treasuries have started allocating ZEC, with a portion held long-term, creating a certain lock-up effect.The trigger for $BTC $ETH's drop today is very clear: the US Senate rejected the procedural vote on the CLARITY Act (49:50, far from the 60-vote threshold), and the market's expectation for "regulatory implementation" was immediately dashed. BTC plunged from above 77,000, dropping over 5% in a single day on Tuesday, hitting a low of 74,910 USD.
Adding to this, tonight's Federal Reserve meeting (market pricing a 92.5% chance of a rate hike) and the 10-year US Treasury yield surpassing 5% put pressure on risk assets collectively.
What is truly noteworthy is the funding side, which is more damaging than the news itself: spot BTC ETFs saw a net outflow of 450.4 million USD in one day (the largest since June), with Fidelity's FBTC withdrawing 214.8 million and BlackRock's IBIT 161.7 million, accounting for 83.6% of the total; the previous day still had a net inflow of 159.9 million, a 180-degree reversal within 24 hours. On the derivatives side, about 668 million USD were liquidated in 24 hours, with longs accounting for 570 million — a typical liquidation of leveraged longs.
Technically, there is a "daily chart intact, hourly chart bearish" split: the daily price remains above EMA50 (around 73,580) and EMA200 (around 72,040), with the 50/200-day moving averages still forming a golden cross, so the mid-term structure is intact; however, it has fallen below EMA20 (around 76,892), the MACD histogram turned negative, and the hourly chart has broken below all three moving averages, showing a bearish alignment. The RSI is 49 on the daily and 42.5 on the hourly, both not oversold, indicating there is still room to move lower. The Fear & Greed sentiment index dropped from 66–71 last week to 49–51, neutral to slightly weak, but not in panic territory — it is a wait-and-see stance, not surrender.
Key price levels: the 75,200–75,500 range below is the current critical line between bulls and bears (the 50% retracement of the 97,924→57,800 downtrend is at 75,233, right here). Breaking this level targets 73,500 then 72,000; above, 80,000–82,000 is the key resistance for a rebound.
The subsequent direction will likely be set by the Federal Reserve's tone in the early morning of the 17th Beijing time.
An easily overlooked structural signal: BTC's market dominance rose to 58.5%, altcoins generally fell more than BTC (XRP once dropped over 10%, SOL down 3.5%), indicating funds are moving internally within crypto to seek refuge in BTC; meanwhile, BTC did not rise with gold today (gold +0.88%), showing it is currently priced by the market as a high-volatility risk asset, not "digital gold." #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 Lobster has surged too fiercely this time; the more continuous the rise, the more you need to guard against a high-level plunge.
The short-term increase is already very exaggerated, with profit-taking piling up, plus active leveraged contract funds. Once the bulls weaken, the pullback can easily be amplified.
On this side, the bearish view won't chase directly; the focus is on waiting for two signals:
① After a surge, obvious volume expansion but stagnation, failing to break the previous high;
② After breaking the short-term key support, the rebound cannot retake the position.
Only when both conditions appear simultaneously will we consider going short, placing the stop loss above the previous high, with the target first at the previous breakout level, and if broken, then look for the next support.
At this position, it's better to miss out than to chase at the high. Wait for confirmation before taking action.👀
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
$BTC Yesterday, Basset testified in Congress, and this guy really has a tough mouth.
The part about U.S. debt was the funniest. He said the $6 billion long-term Treasury buyback last week was "successful," and even boasted that the next two auctions were the "most successful in 20 years." But Democratic Congressman Himes directly contradicted him: the 10-year yield was only 4.8% when you did the buyback, and now it's 5.04%. Is that called success? Basset's response was even more absurd: look at the "counterfactual," meaning it might have risen even more without intervention. Think about that logic.
Then there was the $5,000 election check. Trump declared: as long as the Republicans hold both chambers in the midterms, every adult will get $5,000. Basset endorsed it on the spot and said "there's a way to do it without affecting the deficit." But when asked where the money would come from, he couldn't explain. So basically, they issue checks to win votes first and settle the accounts later?
On the strong dollar, his stance was clear: the dollar's strength relies entirely on the financial system's credibility and policy certainty. Translation: the dollar is still the boss, don't get any ideas.
The scene was lively too, with protesters repeatedly interrupting and calling him a "war criminal," and Waters arguing fiercely with him. One congressman directly questioned: with U.S. debt over 5%, mortgage rates over 7%, and soaring oil prices, are you living in the same world as us?
The core signal is clear: the Treasury accepts the current high interest rates and even considers it a policy success. Don't expect a market rescue in the short term; Treasury yields will stay high.
This is not good news for BTC and ETH. With U.S. debt over 5%, funds are flowing into Treasuries, putting short-term pressure on highly volatile cryptocurrencies. Plus, with stronger dollar suppression, dollar-denominated coins are also being squeezed. #贝森特听证释放多重信号 The evening's analysis of the Federal Reserve meeting boils down to one core trading idea: with rate hikes already priced in, the market rewards credible, measured hawkishness and punishes abandoning anti-inflation efforts or extreme hawkishness.
This rate hike is the first since July 2023, with three cuts expected in 2025.
An extremely dovish stance with no rate hikes is seen as a loss of credibility (Warsh just mentioned that action will be taken if inflation targets are not met), causing long-term yields to rise due to inflation premiums, which is bearish for US stocks and would lead to a sharp decline.
Good hawkishness means a slight rate hike plus retracting last year's rate cut promises, which is actually seen as positive because the bond market might believe the Fed is serious, leading to a decline in long-term inflation premiums.
Bad hawkishness only impacts valuations (especially long-duration growth stocks) when communication signals a path of large, sustained, extreme hawkishness.The most critical step in US crypto regulation got stuck today:
The CLARITY Act failed a procedural vote in the Senate.
Bitcoin and crypto stocks fell in response.
In the short term, it's negative sentiment,
but the root cause is political maneuvering—Warren is dissatisfied, Lummis rejected the opposition's proposal,
and in between, there's the conflict of interest involving Trump's crypto wealth.
The regulatory boot has been raised again but hasn't landed.
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 For years, the market revolved around the halving cycle. Now, the bigger story may be liquidity, interest rates, and global debt. Today, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has pushed above 5% — its highest level since 2007, while Japan’s 10-year yield has climbed above 3%, a level not seen since 1996. At the same time, $BTC is trading around the $75K–$76K zone, while markets digest the failed CLARITY Act vote and await the Federal Reserve’s next move. This is no longer just a crypto story. It’s a sGu Jingci: Prepare to exit Bitcoin and Ethereum long positions during the daytime session, and wait for the early morning data before making new trades.
Bitcoin/Ethereum long positions pulled back during the daytime session, just after a rally to around 76250 and 2429 respectively. It's prudent to take profits and exit first, especially with the interest rate decision at 2 AM and the speech at 2:30 AM, which will increase volatility.

Are the Americans planning to lock up BTC for 20 years?
The U.S. House of Representatives intends to enshrine the "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" into federal law. Sounds intense, right?
Actually, this bill boils down to three words: no spending.
It only collects BTC seized from government fines, centralizes custody under the Treasury, and in principle locks it up for at least 20 years. The most absurd part is that it explicitly states no authorization to borrow money to buy, no new taxes, and no deficit funds to purchase coins. In other words, the reserve is built solely through "forfeiture."
I’m laughing in disbelief. Veteran holders expected the U.S. government to step in as a buyer, but instead, they’re acting like a stingy miser. This isn’t buying, it’s a classic case of "only managing the kill, not the burial."
But thinking calmly, this bill actually carries a hidden signal. Trump’s previous approach was an executive order, which could be voided by a new president. Now, bipartisan lawmakers are pushing a bill to make this a hard rule, ensuring policy continuity.
In the long run, this is an official endorsement of BTC as a strategic asset, strengthening the compliance foundation. But in the short term? It’s all just emotional soothing.
The market was already shaky today. The Fed’s rate hike knife still hangs at 2 a.m., and BTC is fluctuating around 75,000. This bill doesn’t specify new purchases, so it can’t form a sustained market buying force. Treasury Secretary Bescent's speech at last night's House hearing was packed with information. Let's break it down and take a look. He mainly mentioned three things: yen intervention, U.S. debt buybacks, and Trump's $5,000 check plan. Regarding the yen, he said the U.S. involvement was "symbolic," aimed at supporting its strength and easing the pressure on Japan to sell off U.S. assets to stabilize the exchange rate. To put it bluntly, he was afraid Japan would dump all U.S. debt and the U.S. wouldn't be able to hold on itself. Regarding U.S. Treasuries, he said the Treasury's expanded buybacks and recent auctions were "successful." But the slap came too quickly—the 10-year Treasury yield surged back to 5.04%. Japan's 10-year Treasury yield also soared to a 30-year high, putting pressure on global long-term bonds. So-called success is just empty words. As for issuing $5,000 checks to every adult, he said the deficit wouldn't increase, but where the money came from was never explained. So what impact does this have on the crypto world? Let me break down two layers for you. The first layer: global liquidity is still being pumped. US Treasury yields have broken 5%, and Japanese government bond yields have hit a 30-year high, indicating global financing costs are climbing higher. With funding costs so high, institutions don't dare to move recklessly and are all cutting leverage to defend. Why is Bitcoin stuck between 74,000 and 75,000 but not going up or down? That's the most direct reason. Off-exchange funds are too expensive, with no inflow. The second layer is that the long-term logic of fiat currency credit is being reinforced. What Betcente is doing now is robbing Peter to pay Paul. On one hand, they want to intervene in exchange rates; on the other, they want to stimulate fiscal stimulus and issue checksMost insane GitHub lore on @arc.
Circle’s wallet-contract repo has a migration test where the dummy ERC20, ERC721 and ERC1155 assets are literally named getrich, ticker $$$.
And the funny part is where it appears: a test upgrading an ECDSA wallet into a modular ERC-6900 smart account while proving the wallet keeps its ETH, tokens and NFTs, then still executes through ERC-4337.
Probably just a dev easter egg.#FOMCRateCallThisWeek #CLARITYVoteFails50-49 #AISafetyDebateEscalates $CL news loudly claims crude oil broke through 105 to hit a four-month high, but looking at the green bar at 98.79 on the screen, I really don't know who to believe.
On the 4-hour chart, the MA5, MA10, and MA20 lines are all pressing down overhead, SAR is barely holding as a stepping stone at 97.47, the J value is 40.68, and RSI6 has dropped to 43. The market feels soft and weak, showing no sign of a rebound. Retail investors are always a step slow, rushing in to go long after seeing the news. $AI is stair-stepping higher with its 5-, 10- and 20-hour averages lined up beneath price. It’s also right under the $0.02008 high, so I wouldn’t pay up for the breakout wick.
Long idea: Entry $0.01975–$0.01982 on a pullback that holds. TP1 $0.02008 | TP2 $0.02035 | TP3 $0.02065. SL $0.01950.
#FOMCRateCallThisWeek #CLARITYVoteFails50-49 #AISafetyDebateEscalates 🔥The calm before the storm! Three coins collectively consolidating sideways, tonight is a critical watershed moment
$BTC market status: The market has entered a narrow sideways consolidation phase, with the market holding back a surge of strength.
Tonight's FOMC interest rate decision and the crypto bill vote are happening one after another, two major events weighing heavily on the market.
At this stage, the biggest taboo is to subjectively guess the top or bottom, as uncertainty is too high.
Keep a close eye on the three lifeline defenses as risk control benchmarks:
▪️BTC: Key defense at 77000; if it breaks down effectively, the next support is at 72000
▪️ETH: Core support at 2440; if lost, the downside target is 2300
▪️$ZEC: Short-term lifeline at 1048; if broken, it will test 980
My trading discipline is straightforward:
Reduce 10% of the corresponding position each time a key support line is broken.
Do not rush to bottom-fish or gamble on a rebound now; patiently wait for the macro news to settle and signals to become clear before repositioning. #ThisWeekFOMCReveal, Will the Rate Hike Actually Happen?
First, let's verify the real schedule of this week's FOMC and the market pricing, then write in your Planet style. The decision hasn't been released yet, so first update the latest pricing, oil prices, and crypto market status, then write in your Planet tone. Ready to post directly on Planet. Keep it under 1000 words, with the highlight on "The rate hike is almost fully priced in; the real impact will come from the dot plot and Waller's remarks," not guessing another 25bp hike.
This Week's FOMC Reveal: Rate Hike Almost Certain, The Knife Isn't Just 25 Basis Points
The decision comes out at 2:00 AM Beijing time tomorrow, with Waller's press conference at 2:30 AM. This time includes SEP + dot plot.
Let's put the numbers on the table:
Current rate 3.50%–3.75%, with 5 hikes projected in 2026. CME FedWatch shows about 90% chance of a 25bp hike, target range raised to 3.75%–4.00%. Among 101 Reuters economists, 86 bet on a hike. This will be the first hike since July 2023.
Why did the market suddenly accept this? Three nails:
• August CPI YoY 3.4%, core MoM +0.3%, hotter than expected
• Nonfarm payrolls +162,000, unemployment 4.1%, no excuse for rate cuts
• Brent crude still near $107, energy pushing inflation back up
In July, the vote was already 9:3, with three votes for an immediate hike. Jackson Hole's Waller called the 2% inflation target a hard constraint. Trump wanted cuts, he hiked instead—this is tonight's political powder keg.
The explosive point isn't whether to hike, but what is said after hiking.
25bp is basically priced in. BTC has already dropped near 75,000 in recent days. The real direction changer will be three things:
1 How many more hikes the 2026 dot plot shows
2 Whether the vote is unanimous or splits again
3 Whether Waller calls it a "one-time calibration" or says "keep going if inflation doesn't come down"
Three fishing methods, don't pick the wrong side:
• Hike + hawkish dot plot: USD and US Treasury yields rise another notch, risk assets get sold off first. The crypto world fears not 25bp, but "another hike this year."
• Hike + dovish wording: typical buy the rumor, sell the fact reversal, short-term shorts can get squeezed.
• Surprise pause: institutional credibility questioned, long-end yields may go crazier, not necessarily good for crypto.
Fishermen remember one thing: the fish is already on the hook; tonight is about how much the rod shakes, not whether there's a fish. Reduce positions one notch first, wait for the 2:30 AM press conference to decide whether to add more. The decision itself likely won't explode; the dot plot and that mouth will.
Are you betting on the rate hike landing, or on Waller backing down?

$BTC $ETH $OKB $ZEC Why can it rise independently from the overall market? What is the solid reason behind it?
ZEC has recently shown an independent trend, rising against the market weakness. Behind this are the combined forces of the ETF channel, short squeeze, and privacy narrative.
First, the ETF opens the institutional gateway. Grayscale Zcash spot ETF (ZCSH) was launched on August 25. ZEC's market cap is only about 1% of Bitcoin's, so the same amount of capital inflow has a much greater marginal impact on its price than on Bitcoin. This is the underlying logic for the short-term rapid rise.
Second, shorts are extremely crowded. Over 72% of top traders hold short positions, with a long-short ratio as low as 0.39. A giant whale holds about $45.58 million in short positions, with unrealized losses once exceeding $22 million. Every rise triggers short covering, creating a positive feedback loop of "rise → liquidation → repurchase."
Third, privacy demand rises in the AI era. The proportion of shielded pool supply has increased from single digits to about 30%, with over half of network transactions using shielded addresses. Real users are actively using privacy features.
Risk warning: F2Pool founder Wang Chun points out that this rise is more of a "narrative-driven short squeeze." The key short-term support is near $1,100; breaking below may retest $1,000.

#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ Why is Core called "the most misunderstood public chain"? You'll understand after seeing its list of partners
⚠️ This article is only a review of public information and does not constitute any investment advice
In the BTCFi sector, Core has always been the most controversial public chain. On one side, the community widely spreads the list of institutional partners, with top institutions like Bitget, Coinbase, BitGo prominently included; on the other side, the August 31 vulnerability, 69 million ghost tokens, and the ultra-long token release schedule since 1981 have made many investors wary.
Many people understand Core in two extremes: either as the next-generation BTCFi leader collectively backed by giants; or as a flawed token full of vulnerabilities with stories but no real implementation. In fact, most people misunderstand the true meaning of this partnership list, confusing the essential difference between "technical integration" and "strategic investment."
1. The partnership list is right in front of you, but it does not mean institutions have heavily invested
Reviewing public information, BitGo, Bitget, and Coinbase do appear in Core's cooperative ecosystem, but the nature of each partnership is completely different from retail investors' imagination of "massive capital inflow."
BitGo: As a leading custody service provider, it completed technical integration with Core, opening a dual staking channel that allows its institutional clients to participate in Core staking within BitGo's custody environment. This is infrastructure integration, providing services to clients, and does not mean BitGo itself has purchased a large amount of CORE tokens, nor is it a strategic capital injection. After the August 31 vulnerability, BitGo did not announce any increase in holdings, only maintaining the existing technical interface.
Bitget: The exchange listed CORE for trading and runs network validator nodes. Listing tokens and running nodes are routine ecological operations for a public chain. Listing trading satisfies user demand, and running nodes maintains the network; this does not mean the exchange itself is bullish or holds large CORE positions.
Coinbase: Only opened basic trading functions for CORE tokens. During the August 31 crisis, Coinbase temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals, later resuming trading without announcing deep strategic cooperation, large-scale custody integration, or node deployment—just restoring basic trading channels.
Key distinction:
✅ Technical integration, token listing, running nodes: belong to ecosystem infrastructure cooperation, which most public chains can achieve;
❌ Institutional strategic investment, large spot purchases, fund heavy holdings, large-scale custody allocation of tokens: this is the real institutional entry.
This long list of partners mostly represents compatibility at the infrastructure level, not capital-level backing. The community easily misinterprets "institutions can use it" as "institutions are heavily invested," which is the biggest cognitive trap.
2. Contradictory sides: there is an ecosystem and narrative, but also an indelible historical burden
Core's original design intention is to use Satoshi Plus hybrid consensus to combine Bitcoin's hash power security with EVM smart contracts, creating BTC-native DeFi infrastructure. lstBTC and SatPay are highly imaginative narratives, and there are real DEXs, lending, and many ecological projects on-chain—not just empty projects.
But the August 31 validator reward vulnerability is an unavoidable scar. Attackers exploited incentive contract flaws to break the 2.1 billion total supply rule, generating 69 million ghost tokens. Although a hard fork fixed the code and destroyed undistributed excess tokens, this incident is recorded in the risk control files of major institutions.
Technical interfaces can be retained, but institutional investment decisions will not relax risk control just because of a partnership list. Even if custody providers open staking channels, it does not mean institutions will allocate large amounts of CORE. Institutions focus on three key issues when investing: a complete, on-chain verifiable disposal plan for ghost tokens; contract security audit reviews; and real institutional TVL of lstBTC, not just looking at the partnership list.
This is Core's biggest contradiction: it has a complete ecosystem and institutional infrastructure integration but is capped in valuation by historical security incidents and unresolved ghost tokens.
3. Two market misunderstandings push Core to extremes
Misunderstanding one: Seeing the partnership list, people think institutions have already taken sides and valuation reversal is imminent
Many retail investors see the list and imagine giants collectively bullish, ignoring that technical integration ≠ strategic investment. Partnerships only provide channels and do not mean funds have actually entered. Even if there are rumors of closed-door meetings in Tokyo or overseas nodes, without public investment announcements or large on-chain institutional staking, these are only expectations, not positive facts.
Misunderstanding two: Because of past vulnerabilities, people outright reject it as a pure speculative token
Focusing only on the August 31 vulnerability ignores its real ecological construction and BTCFi product layout. Security vulnerabilities are not uncommon in public chain development, but vulnerabilities can be fixed; trust repair requires solid hard evidence, not just promotion and partnership lists.
4. The real key to judging Core is not to focus on the partnership list
Don't be misled by partnership lists or rumor narratives. The market still awaits three hard pieces of evidence:
1. A complete, on-chain verifiable disposal plan for the 69 million ghost tokens;
2. Institutional-grade real TVL generated by lstBTC, not a subsidy-built bubble;
3. The ecosystem generates sustained fee cash flow to offset inflationary selling pressure from the 1981 token release.
The partnership list only proves the project has the potential to connect with institutional infrastructure. Whether it can truly welcome large-scale institutional capital depends on whether these three hard evidences materialize.
Core is neither a pure speculative token nor a blue-chip already heavily held by giants. It is a public chain with both strong advantages and risks.
In a bull market, it can leverage the BTCFi narrative to produce highly elastic price action; but if fundamentals do not break through, even with a long list of institutional partners, the market will remain driven only by sentiment pulses.
💬 Interactive question: Do you think a list of institutional partners can offset the risk control concerns caused by Core's historical vulnerabilities? Share your thoughts in the comments!The rocket is biased towards bullish intraday; on the daily chart, there was a liquidity sweep on the left side, followed by a significant reversal displacement. On the 4-hour chart, a bullish engulfing appeared. From 12:00 to 16:00, there was a 4-hour accumulation, then manipulation occurred, followed by an upward distribution. A structural breakout appeared on the 15-minute chart. Pay attention to the 5-minute pullback for long positions.
Long-term, the bias is still bearish. Why? Currently, US employment is very strong, and the American people have not let the economy be dragged down by the war. Moreover, oil prices have been slowly rising at a high level for a long time. In the case of sharply worsening inflation, tonight's Federal Reserve news is likely to put pressure on the US stock market. Given the severe tightening of oil supply, it is best not to have too high expectations for the stock market.Brothers, tonight is the critical moment. The market has already priced in a 25bp rate hike at about 92%, so the hike itself is basically priced in in advance.
If a normal 25bp hike occurs, the focus will be on the wording and the dot plot: if there is no unexpectedly hawkish tone, it’s easy to see a "bad news priced in" scenario, with $BTC and $ETH dipping first then recovering; if it’s clearly hawkish, watch out for BTC breaking 74,900 and ETH breaking 2,356, which could lead to further declines.
If there’s an unexpected pause in the hike, which would be a clear deviation from expectations, a rapid short-term rally is very likely, with BTC targets at 76,000→77,000 and ETH at 2,420→2,480.
Don’t chase the first spike tonight; the real direction depends on the reaction after the news is released.
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 To be honest about this coin, it has a numeric combination on it that I stared at for a long time and found increasingly suspicious.
It has dropped to just a fraction. But its daily trading volume equals its entire market cap.
I'm talking about $CP, with a market cap just over 17 million USD, and a daily trading volume also around 17 million. This means theoretically, the entire supply of this coin can be traded over once within a day.
Two conditions must be met to produce this number. First, it has dropped sharply — from its all-time high on the listing day to now, down 88%, all within two weeks. Second, its market cap is small enough that a single large order can change the price trend for an hour.
In other words, the current price is set neither by buyers nor sellers, but by a batch of short-term funds flipping back and forth. Under this structure, the price has no floor because no one intends to hold.
It hasn't even had a decent rebound: the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day moving averages are all neatly pressing down from above, and the price grinds within a narrow range between 0.0113 and 0.0126. Low volume grinding at the bottom and being ignored look exactly the same on the chart. If you really want to talk about stabilization, the first step is to get back above the 10-day moving average at 0.0145.
I generally don't pay attention to coins whose trading volume equals their market cap.$AAVE is DeFi’s senior credit name. Watch utilization, stablecoin supply, and liquidations not the logo.
$UNI is exchange equity on Ethereum. Feeswitch talk is constant. Price only if swap volume is actually rising.
$CRV is core stable-swap infra with a messy token. Pool TVL and emissions beat a one-day bounce.
Price the claim on cash flow.
NFA.$XAU's daytime movement is somewhat strange and requires extra caution!
After half a month of continuous decline, gold has finally reached the eve of the FOMC; tonight, the probability of a Fed rate hike is over 93%, yet gold is strongly rebounding, which is very odd.
From the interest rate perspective alone, a rate hike is bearish for interest-free assets like gold, but the price tells us the situation is not that simple; what gold truly cares about is the real interest rate + the dollar + inflation risk + safe-haven demand, not mechanically trading the Fed Funds Rate.
Currently, the yield on the US 10-year Treasury is about 5%, and gold has recently been clearly suppressed by high yields and a strong dollar.
The possible scenario tonight is a 25bp rate hike, but in the 2:30 speech, Warsh did not continue to add hawkishness → the market believes tightening is nearly sufficient → 10Y yields fall → dollar falls → gold rises.
The conclusion is absurd but indeed a possible path; so tonight, don’t just focus on whether the 25bp change happens or not, I only watch one thing: whether the 10Y rises or falls after the rate hike.
NFA, DYOR!
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
@OKX星球 ⚠️$BTC #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？
Two major scenarios tonight
The Fed raises rates but signals dovish stance (implying no further hikes)
👉 Bitcoin is likely to rebound and recover, marking the bad news as priced in.
Resistance above: 77500‑78000; first support at 75300, strong support at 74500.
. The Fed raises rates and speaks hawkishly (indicating more hikes to come)
👉 Another drop is likely, testing 74500 or even near 73800, with altcoins (ZEC) falling much harder than BTC.
• Volatility tonight will be extremely high, with a high chance of spikes; contracts are easily stopped out and liquidated.
The focus is not on "whether rates are hiked," but on the tone of the Fed's post-meeting remarks, which impact crypto prices more than the hike itself.
. The negative impact of the bill has already been reflected in the early morning plunge; tonight mainly watch the Fed.$BTC $ETH
If the U.S. Crypto Market Structure Act (CLARITY Act) can surpass the 60-vote procedural threshold in the Senate and ultimately be signed into law, it will be a key institutional positive. Clear regulatory jurisdiction (securities or commodities) can eliminate the biggest concerns for institutional entry, potentially attracting more "real money" long-term allocations than short-term rate cuts.
💰 Macro shift: The Federal Reserve signals clear easing
Currently, the market expects the Fed's September rate hike probability to be as high as 87%, which is the core variable suppressing risk assets. A bull market rebound does not require the Fed to cut rates immediately, but at least needs to see policy statements or dot plots clearly ruling out further hikes and acknowledging that inflation is under control. Only when liquidity stops tightening can the crypto space have room to breathe.
🐋 Capital inflow: ETFs turn to sustained net inflows
Institutional funds are the most critical marginal pricing force in 2026. The signal is: U.S. spot BTC/ETH ETFs have ended net outflows and have seen significant net inflows for several consecutive weeks (refer to April’s single-month inflow of $1.97 billion). When major channels like BlackRock IBIT re-attract funds, it often means "smart money" is starting to position on the left side.
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 #AI发展焦虑升温，监管讨论升级 From the market perspective,
gold and silver started first.
Then I felt that BTC was about to start as well.
Of course, the direction I’m referring to is definitely an upward start.
Here, I think the main reason it can start before the rate hike is implemented is that
the market has already priced in the rate hike expectations in advance, whether it’s cryptocurrencies or gold.
Gold has already fallen quite a bit ahead of time.
And earlier today, gold began a nice small rebound,
which indicates that,
even if the rate hike is implemented tonight,
no matter how bad the situation is,
it probably won’t be far from the current bottom.
If gold has already had a good rebound,
then the actual implementation will at most be a pin-like pullback,
then continue upward.
I think it’s the same for crypto.
It just reacts after gold,
which is like what I wrote in that short article before,
gold and Bitcoin have some linkage,
especially at some major nodes.
Now it seems
this time won’t be much different.
Overall,
gold always leads cryptocurrencies slightly.
Gold lifts first,
Bitcoin follows.
The above is just my personal analysis and does not constitute any investment advice.
$BTC
$XAU
#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ BTC rebounded about $600 from 17:00, and ETH and SOL also lifted. The market, which stayed near the lows in the afternoon, finally loosened up a bit in the evening.
On OKX spot, all three rose; however, the funding rate and open interest for BTC perpetual contracts on the same platform were slightly lower than in the afternoon. Prices went up, but leverage did not increase in sync. This rise is considered a recovery after a sharp drop, with no signs yet of leveraged positions rushing in.
I am not increasing risk on small coins based on this. BTC remains below the $77,000 lost yesterday and may fluctuate repeatedly before the Federal Reserve's decision is released overnight. If the US market stabilizes above that level again, and ETH and SOL continue to follow, I will revise my judgment; if it rebounds then falls back to the afternoon level, those few hundred dollars will remain within tonight's short-term volatility.
Data: OKX spot and perpetual. Personal observation, not investment advice. $BTC $BTC is becoming a defensive liquidity layer: finite supply, deep markets, and growing institutional access. $ETH is where liquidity gets deployed: stablecoins, DeFi, tokenization, and on-chain finance transform capital into economic activity. $SOL takes a different path: turning liquidity into transaction velocity, where greater activity can strengthen network effects and ecosystem growth. These assets aren't just competing on price. They're competing on how liquidity is stored, deployed, and e$ZEC has fucking risen again, and I've lost my ass on it.
Just saw ZEC, it pulled up to 1235 again, up 10%. The 24-hour low was 1085, the high 1238, with a volatility of nearly 15%. On the daily chart, it climbed from 650 all the way to 1299, up 140% in 30 days, 176% in 90 days, and more than quadrupled in 180 days.
Damn, I've lost seventy or eighty U on ZEC, across several platforms combined, feeling miserable as hell. Shorts got liquidated, longs missed, getting beaten back and forth.
Why is this thing still rising?
The core reason is still the Grayscale Zcash spot ETF; holdings keep increasing, institutional money is flowing in. Plus, the privacy sector is rebounding overall, with funds rotating. Bitcoin dropped from 78,000 to 75,000 today, but ZEC pulled up 10% against the trend, clearly running an independent rally.
When will there be a big waterfall?
Honestly, this level looks high, but it just keeps pulling up. Resistance is at 1299. If it can drop back below 1100, there might be a decent correction. But with a monster coin like ZEC, it's hard to say when a correction will come. Bears have been repeatedly taught a lesson; no one dares to short it heavily anymore.
I'm done touching it, seriously. This tuition fee was too expensive, seventy or eighty U for a lesson.
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议 THREE WAYS LIQUIDITY MOVES
$BTC is becoming a defensive liquidity layer: finite supply, deep markets, and growing institutional access.
$ETH sits where capital gets deployed: stablecoins, DeFi, and tokenized assets turn liquidity into economic activity
$SOL takes a different route: turning liquidity into transaction velocity, where greater activity can reinforce network effects
These assets compete beyond price: they compete on how liquidity is retained and expanded.Where does capital move next?At 2 AM, the Fed flips the table, but the dog whales are sharpening their knives?
Powell's showdown at 2 AM tonight, 90% chance of a rate hike
Oil prices go crazy first, the dot plot is the real scythe, don't rush to take sides
$BTC: current price 76182, dipped to 74955 in 24h then recovered
Above 77400–77800, about $77 million in short positions are pressing, less than 2% from current price, liquidity as thin as paper
If the dot plot suggests further rate hikes, risk assets will continue to get hammered
If it suggests the end is near, sentiment may rebound aggressively. Don't heavily position before the decision, the Fed decides the direction
$ETH: 2423, yesterday's low 2358 was firmly supported. 2350–2400 has become short-term support, no effective break below in four hours
First watch 2450, if stable then look at 2500, 2560; break below 2350 means giving up
$ETH fell harder than Bitcoin, but also has strong rebound potential, don't get overexcited

#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ 
#CLARITY法案投票受阻引争议
#中东能源风险推高油价 $0.029 AKE, do you dare to chase?
First, look at the surface: a counter-trend surge, retail FOMO to the extreme.
The BTC market is pressured at 75,000, the CLARITY bill hasn't advanced, US Treasury yields are rising—but AKE stubbornly climbed from 0.015 to 0.029, hitting a 24-hour high of 0.0293, with trading volume exploding to nearly $100 million. Parabolic rise, volume surge, OI soaring, funding rate turning positive. Bulls are so crowded it's suffocating; a pullback could trigger anytime.
First thing: OK launches perpetual contracts, is it a positive or a "distribution channel"?
At 07:00 UTC today, OK officially launched AKE/USDT perpetual contracts with up to 20x leverage.
When exchanges launch derivatives, on the surface it's "liquidity premium," but essentially it provides shorting and distribution tools for whales. Retail rushes in seeing "listed on a major exchange," while institutions see "finally some counterparties."
Second thing: September 21, countdown to unlocking 2.1 billion tokens.
About 2.1 billion AKE will unlock in 5 days, accounting for 2.1% of total supply, estimated at $30-60 million at current prices. Investors + insiders + community mixed release.
Current 24-hour trading volume ranges from tens of millions to nearly a hundred million, the unlocking amount equals about half a day's total buy volume.
Pre-unlock sell pressure is one of the most certain rules in crypto. It's not "might drop," it's "high probability someone runs first."
Third thing: Tonight's FOMC, the life-or-death test for high-beta small caps.
Tonight's FOMC decision prices in a 25bp rate hike to 3.75%-4.00%. The dot plot and chair's press conference—any hawkish tone can push BTC down another notch.
AKE's counter-trend rise today is because the listing event overshadowed macro bears. But such "individual coin independent rallies" have very limited sustainability. Once macro turns hawkish and BTC weakens, high-beta small caps retrace three times faster than the market.
Bull vs. bear showdown, judge for yourself
On one side:
OK perpetual launch, liquidity premium
Platform relaunch, AI-generated tool ecosystem
190% rise in one month, strong trend
Fee burn mechanism with deflation expectations
On the other side:
September 21 unlock of 2.1 billion tokens, clear supply shock
FOMC tonight, macro risk not yet resolved
Positive funding rate, crowded longs, high risk of cascading liquidations
Price has significantly deviated from mid-to-long-term averages, obvious overbought
Already retraced once from ATH 0.0338, heavy resistance at previous highs
Resistance above: 0.0293-0.030 → 0.0338 (previous high)
Support below: 0.025-0.0237 → 0.020-0.021
Invalidation level: effective break below 0.023 with volume, short-term bull structure weakens
Trading strategy
If holding longs:
Take profits in batches. Reduce some positions at 0.0295-0.031 to lock in profits, set trailing stop or stop loss below 0.025 for the rest. Don't bet all profits on tonight's Fed and the unlock in 5 days.
If empty-handed and want to go long:
Wait for a pullback to 0.025-0.0235 with volume contraction and stabilization, then lightly enter longs with stop loss below 0.0225, target 0.030-0.032.
If wanting to short/hedge:
Aggressive traders can lightly short at 0.0293-0.0305, stop loss above 0.0315-0.032, target a pullback to 0.025.
Reduce exposure before unlock (September 19-21)
Exchange launching perpetuals is not giving you free money; it's providing counterparties for whales.
2.1 billion tokens unlock in 5 days—guess who runs first, retail or insiders?
$0.029 AKE is the same project as $0.015 AKE. What changed is not the value, but your fear of missing out.
At $0.029, do you dare to chase?
$BTC $ETH $AKE The CLARITY Act procedural vote in the U.S. Senate failed to advance, falling short of the required threshold. The market reacted with a sharp sell-off, sending risk assets lower. But I don't think this automatically means the bullish structure is broken. My interpretation: 📉 Liquidity gets swept 😨 Weak hands panic and exit 🐻 Bears pile into shorts ⏳ The market pauses and searches for its next direction The key now isn't the initial dump—it's what happens after the liquidity is taken. With FOSNDK short positions continue to win, no one took the 1580 level, and volume has also halved.
Monday opened at 1522, highest 1582, lowest 1505, closed at 1552, volume 9.59 million. Tuesday opened at 1570, highest 1580, lowest 1509, closed at 1531, down 1.4%, volume 6.82 million. Pre-market around 1542, US stocks haven't opened yet.
The range 1531–1580 above is still resistance, going higher 1633 is even heavier. Below, first watch 1509, if broken easily look at 1505.
Don't chase pre-market in the short term. Those already holding should watch if 1509 support holds; if it doesn't, reduce a bit. Wait for today's opening with volume to see if 1531 can hold. $SNDK 🚨Another traditional financial giant officially opens its doors to the crypto market! Germany's largest commercial bank, Deutsche Bank, announced plans to launch digital asset custody services this year, initially supporting BTC, ETH, and some stablecoins.🔥
The most noteworthy aspect this time is not just "another bank supporting cryptocurrencies," but that Deutsche Bank is ready to bring the most critical infrastructure for institutions entering the crypto space—custody—directly into the traditional banking system.
According to Deutsche Bank's announcement, after completing relevant regulatory procedures, institutional and corporate clients will be able to store, manage, and transfer BTC, ETH, as well as stablecoins like USDC, EURC, and EURAU directly through the banking system. Wallets and private keys will also be managed by the bank, with plans to further include tokenized financial assets in the service scope later. The first phase mainly targets European institutional and corporate clients, with initial focus reportedly on the German market.
In simple terms, many traditional institutions previously didn’t avoid crypto assets because they didn’t want to, but because they "didn’t dare to custody them casually."
Assets worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars cannot be entrusted to a fund manager to just stash a hardware wallet in a drawer, nor can the mnemonic phrase be written on paper and handed over to finance.😂 What institutions truly need is compliant custody, permission management, auditing, risk control, and asset transfer systems—precisely the areas where traditional big banks excel.In the past decade, Bitcoin told its story through the "halving cycle."
In the next decade, Bitcoin will tell its story through the "fiat credit collapse."
And today,
The US 10-year Treasury yield has broken 5%, the last time was in 2007.
The Japanese 10-year Treasury yield has broken 3%, the last time was in 1996.
The US and Japanese bond markets are handing the script directly to $BTC.
The question is: can you endure the darkest moment before dawn for $BTC BTC funding rate remains positive, ETH current value has turned negative
Spot prices of major coins have barely moved, while contract position sentiment begins to diverge. As of 19:49, BTC current funding rate is +0.000994%, previous settlement was +0.002381%; ETH current value is -0.001371%, previous settlement was +0.000034%, the sign has reversed.
Between 18:00 and 19:00 spot has closed 1H, BTC down 0.01%, ETH up 0.03%; spot window and funding rate snapshot are not the same bucket, only describing parallel states. Confirmation condition: ETH remains negative and BTC remains positive at 00:00 settlement; invalidation condition: both revert to the same sign before settlement. Which other public data would you check to determine the source of this divergence?
#BTC #ETHBefore the market opened, SNDK had a spike at 1550, then pulled back a bit. No one dared to follow the wave at 1580.
Yesterday's low was 1509, the high touched 1580, and it closed at 1531 with a volume of 6.87 million. Before the market opened, it started around 1546, peaked at 1550, and the current price is about 1542 with very low volume.
There is still resistance from 1550 to 1582 above; only beyond that is 1721 to 1807. If it breaks below 1509, it’s likely to first see 1505; if that area can’t hold, the short term will look for space down to 1449.
In the short term, watch if it can hold at 1542 before the market opens. If it can’t hold, treat it as if the roller coaster from 2354 is still shaking things up—don’t chase the current price. Those already holding should watch if the low at 1509 from yesterday can hold; if not, reduce positions. Those looking to buy should wait for a pullback and reconsider if it can’t break through 1580—don’t catch a falling knife in midair. $SNDK Senate vote deadlocked on CLARITY Act: 49:50, 11 votes short.
The result caused an overnight split explosion——
Bitcoin -5%
XRP -10%
Coinbase -12%
The same storm, so why did XRP/COIN fall twice as hard as BTC?
It's not luck: BTC is "protected" by ETF + commodity status, XRP is high Beta, and Coinbase also bears an additional "policy life-or-death line."
Add to that US debt breaking 5%, oil prices soaring, three forces pulling together.
Don't ask where the bottom is, first ask: are you holding a "protected coin" or a "naked coin"?👇
#CLARITYAct #XRP #Coinbase #Bitcoin #CryptoRegulation XAU today’s spike at 4353 has retraced past yesterday’s high, but no one dares to follow the 4443 move yet.
Yesterday’s low was 4261, the high touched 4318, closing at 4284. Today opened near 4284, with a high of 4353 and a low of 4276, current price around 4349. The volume for this pullback from today’s low is decent.
Resistance remains between 4353 and 4403, with 4443 above that. If 4276 breaks again, it’s likely to test 4261 first; if that level doesn’t hold, short-term price may seek space around 4253.
In the short term, watch if the current price around 4349 can hold. If it can’t, treat this as a consolidation after the drop from 4697 and avoid chasing at this price. For those already holding, watch if today’s low at 4276 can support; if not, consider reducing positions. For those looking to buy, wait for a pullback and reconsider if it can break past 4353; don’t catch a falling knife mid-air. $XAU I am Fang Yuan. Gold has bottomed out and rebounded sharply, yet Tianfeng Securities warns that short-term adjustment pressure has not been lifted?
Tianfeng's short-term bearish view accurately hits the core contradiction of the current precious metals market — the reversal of rate hike expectations driving US Treasury yields and the dollar to remain strong, with rising real interest rates suppressing valuations, so the adjustment pressure indeed has not cleared.
Silver, with its high elasticity, fully conforms to its characteristics by sharply retreating after the rebound; gold's weak rebound also confirms the short-term lack of bullish momentum, making the timing model's bearish logic self-consistent.
But this is only a judgment from a short-term trading perspective; the underlying support logic of central banks buying gold and de-dollarization in the medium to long term remains intact, so it cannot be considered a trend reversal to bearish. In terms of operations, do not rush to bottom-fish on the left side in the short term, control position sizes and follow the trend; it is safer to wait for signals of stabilization in rate expectations before building long positions. Fang Yuan has finished speaking, please savor it carefully #本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #中东能源风险推高油价 Circle's chain launch uses USDC for gas
Circle's Arc chain has officially launched.
Its native gas is not a platform token, but $USDC.
Where does this money come from:
On other chains, transaction fees must first be converted into platform tokens.
On Arc, no conversion is needed; if you have $USDC, you can pay directly.
How is this number calculated:
Block production to confirmation takes less than a second, according to their own data.
More than a hundred institutions are involved, including BlackRock, Visa, and Mastercard.
The validating nodes are also operated by these companies.
$USDC runs on-chain, and its issuer also handles the accounting.
These two functions are managed by the same company.
#标普领投Kaiko，布局链上数据标准 $USDC Tonight, the 4-hour chart will decide BTC's direction
At 2 AM, Powell's successor, Waller, will deliver his report.
A 25 basis point hike has a 92.5% probability, so there's no suspense there. The real value lies in the remaining 7.5%—
Dot plot: How many hikes are left this year? One or two?
Waller's words: Is it "calibration," or "there's still work to do"?
Any dissenting votes: Rumors say Waller might cast a dovish dissenting vote.
Goldman Sachs and Citi are betting on a "dovish hike"—bad news fully priced in, BTC rebounds; Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, and HSBC bet on one more hike in December—tightening continues, more downside.
BTC is now hovering at 75,900, with 74,900 as the bottom hammered out with real money last night, and 77,300 pressing from above. At 2 AM, this sideways box that has lasted a week will break.
Scenario:
✅ Dovish hike + Waller playing Tai Chi → bad news turns good, first target 78,000, then 80,000
❌ Dot plot hints at another hike in December → 74,900 won't hold, 72,000 next

#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？ #贝森特听证释放多重信号 #美战略比特币储备法案进入委员会审议 $BTC $ETH $SOL $OP I was originally prepared to take a loss, but it surprised me, not used to it.
While others were running, I stared at OP for a long time. The resistance above was obvious, the trading volume was pitifully low, and each rebound was lower than the last. I judged that it still had to go down, and the prompt directly gave a short signal.
Shorted at 0.11071, now at 0.09373, +767.32% profit in hand. The earlier hesitation was real, but the outcome is really sweet.
Don't lose patience in the consolidation and then try to regain dignity in a one-sided move. Being out of position is not a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake.
First close 80%, put the stop loss for the remaining 20% at the entry price. If it continues to drop, let it run; don't itch to touch it.
If you miss it, you miss it. The market is not short of opportunities, but it lacks patience. Wait for the next shot.
$ZEC $LAB The phrase I agree with the most is: The first principle of accumulating Bitcoin is learning to be patient.
Many people treat hoarding coins like an exciting game, watching the charts daily, chasing news, guessing tops and bottoms, and end up letting their emotions be controlled by the candlestick charts. The ones who truly achieve results are not those who predict the most accurately, but those who can endure long sideways markets, repeated pullbacks, and are willing to accumulate slowly according to plan.
The market does not reward the smartest, only those who can sit tight. You don't need to catch every candlestick; you just need to avoid losing your chips in the noise. Dollar-cost averaging, cold wallets, and a long-term perspective may sound simple, but they are closest to the answer.
Don't always ask if it will go up tomorrow; first ask yourself: If it doesn't rise for three years, will I still buy? If yes, then volatility is just part of the process. $BTC $ETH $ETH｜Behind a single candlestick lies the tide of the world order
The capital market has never been just about numbers fluctuating. Today, Brent crude oil remains near $108, gold has risen to $4346, and the market probability of a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve once exceeded 90%; energy, inflation, interest rates, and dollar liquidity are re-pricing global trade.
When oil becomes expensive, shipping and manufacturing costs rise; when the dollar strengthens, global capital begins to contract; when U.S. crypto regulatory bills face obstacles, risk assets are the first to feel the chill. ETH fluctuated sharply between $2362 and $2484 intraday, and I tried going long near $2411.6, capturing this retracement with a floating profit of 43.13%.
But $7.87 is not wealth, and 43.13% is not the answer. 75x leverage is just a mirror: it magnifies both judgment and greed.
From oil tankers in the Middle East, to bonds on Wall Street, to a block on the chain, the world may seem vast, but it ultimately boils down to a single candlestick. What ordinary people can do is to be half a step ahead before the tide of the times arrives, and always leave a way out for mistakes.
#ETH #Macroeconomics #GlobalTrade #TradingRecordsThese past few days have basically been a 'Heaven and Earth Needle' shakeout every day, meaning after a rebound, there is a 1:1 proportional retracement equal to the previous amplitude. This kind of market requires high risk control in the short term and is only suitable for entering long positions initially plus adding positions at low points or at breakout resistance levels to buy the dip. It is not advisable to open a heavy position all at once.
BTC: The 76850-76350 range remains the zone for initial long positions. Today marks the fifth time entering long within this range. The low point of the afternoon pullback dropped 667 points below yesterday afternoon's lowest point of 77334, so the expected rebound high is around 78850. There is also news tonight, considering the bearish side, always be prepared to buy the dip if 76000 breaks down, which will give a better average cost and more room for rebound. If adding positions at low points, do not add once it breaks above 77500 to avoid the risk of an overly heavy position.. Gold has already broken out of its long-term structure and made a massive expansion, while Bitcoin appears to be sitting much earlier in a similar setup. The chart shows gold gaining more than 200% from the highlighted area, while BTC has recently bounced around its long-term rising support. Now the interesting question is what happens if some of the capital chasing gold begins rotating into Bitcoin? Both are increasingly treated as scarce monetary assets, but BTC hasn’t experienced anythingOne persistent pain point of $ZEC has always been the lack of hardware support for "shielded addresses / privacy pools." Now, the well-known cold wallet Ledger has directly announced integration with the Ironwood privacy pool.
This kind of news might sound like it has no positive impact or dopamine boost for the coin price, but the long-term flywheel effect is profound:
1. Expanding the scale of the privacy pool: whales, institutions, and holders who value asset security will massively migrate their off-exchange and transparent address holdings into the privacy pool.
2. Amplified anonymity integration: the anti-tracking capability depends on the amount of funds and mixing depth within the pool. The larger the privacy pool, the stronger the obfuscation and coin-mixing concealment effects.
3. Reducing the risk of large asset stagnation: when large funds move in and out, they are conspicuous on-chain and subject to cross-comparison and tagging. Now, the cold wallet itself has defense mechanisms to offset such concerns. Essentially, this paves the way for more capital.
Of course, for ordinary traders, it means being kept in the dark when others are offloading, and being even more unaware when a pump is about to happen. All basic data becomes much harder to obtain.
