The Bitcoin index only started rising on July 1—who started rising a month earlier? The index was held down at 8200.0 for nearly a month, and who was it that kept hitting new highs and rose 85% during that month? Which one is the real one? $BTC ‌

#FedHikes25bpsForFirstTimeIn3Years
$BTC $ETH
The Federal Reserve has delivered its first 25 bps rate hike in more than three years, raising the federal funds target range to 3.75%–4.00%.
The decision was unanimous at 12–0, and the bigger story for markets is that the Fed is signaling that the fight against inflation is not finished.
For crypto, this is an important shift.
Markets had already been preparing for the possibility of a 25 bp increase, so the rate hike itself was not necessarily the biggest surprise. The more important part is the outlook for what comes next.

$SOL : Breakout Before Entry
$SOL is still trading beneath a key descending trendline, keeping the bullish setup unconfirmed.
The level I’m watching is simple:
▸ Break above the trendline
▸ Hold it as support
▸ Then look for continuation higher
Until that happens, patience matters more than chasing the move.
A clean reclaim could open the door for the next leg up. 👀

#BrentCrudeDrops3% 📉🛢️
Brent crude oil has dropped around 3%, giving markets a brief pause after a period of sharp gains. The decline comes as concerns over immediate supply disruptions eased, with additional crude shipments helping to calm fears of a severe shortage. Despite the pullback, oil prices remain elevated, meaning energy markets are still highly sensitive to geopolitical developments. �
Reuters +1
For investors, lower oil prices can ease inflation expectations and reduce pressure on central banks. However, volatility is likely to remain high, as any new supply

High-Interest-Rate Trading May Have Only Just Been Repriced
The most noteworthy aspect of this Fed rate hike is that it did not signal that “once the hike is done, it’s over” to the market. The September meeting unanimously approved a 25bp rate hike, and the dot plot further showed that most officials expect tightening could continue this year.
This means market trading logic may be changing: in the past, everyone was discussing “when will rates be cut?” Now it has reverted to “when will the next rate hike come?”
In this environment, it is not surprising to see the US dollar and Treasury yield

🔥 $LSK — +40% IN VIP 🟢
This was marked as a high-risk trade, so the key was waiting for confirmation.
We needed to see $0.484 reclaimed before considering an entry.
LSK reclaimed the level and then delivered +40% from the setup. 🚀
The lesson here: don't chase — wait for your level, wait for confirmation, then let the move come to you.

Bearish news landed, yet no sharp drop! News ultimately cannot change the trend
Two major events came to pass over the past two days: the CLARITY Act vote failed, and the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points. Both were genuinely bearish for the crypto market.
But as we have seen, Bitcoin did not suffer the sharp decline everyone expected!
This illustrates one principle: news itself can hardly reverse the market trend, and the vast majority of bullish and bearish news has already been priced in by the market.
When prices surge or plunge after news is released, the root cause
