The ARC chain’s Meme has crashed; you can forget about the airdrop too.
The reason is that the project team held a livestream yesterday, and everyone discovered that all the developers were Indian and Vietnamese—described using derogatory slurs for both groups.........$ARC ‌#Gate打金狗獨家支持0Gas交易

02:00 The interest rate decision will be announced, and the rate hike will take effect.
Key reminder: The 02:30 Warsh press conference is the real focus.
The decision itself is in line with expectations; all the variables are hidden in the remarks made at the press conference, which will determine the subsequent rate-hike path.
The market will likely see a second bout of volatility. Do not take a heavy position immediately after the decision; wait for the press conference to provide signals before making a judgment. #美联储三年来首次加息25个基点 $BTC ‌

Overnight, the crypto market faced a double squeeze from “policy + rate hikes”: the U.S. Digital Asset Market Clarity/Clarity Act failed to pass a procedural vote in the Senate (49 in favor/50 against, falling short of the 60 votes required), delaying SEC/CFTC jurisdictional divisions, exchange registration, and stablecoin rules, causing compliance expectations to fall through; compounded by the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield briefly reaching 5.04% and expectations of a Fed rate hike/25 bp hike to 3.75%–4% in September if implemented, liquidity tightened. $ETH

How will the market move after a 25 bps rate hike on September 17, 2026?
Big-data statistics show that since 2015, the Fed has conducted a total of 20 rate hikes.
Institutional retrospective analysis:
1. BTC closed higher on the decision day in 11 cases (a rebound after the bearish news was priced in), accounting for 55%; in the remaining 9 cases, it continued falling directly on the decision day, with no rebound at all.
2. Among these 11 cases where the decision-day close was higher (a rebound occurred), prices fell back below the decision-day level within 30 days in 10 cases—meaning weakness

The market doesn’t explain itself; it only moves. Your job is simply not to make reckless moves.
I opened the chart this morning and looked at $DOGE . Funds were quietly entering, the bottom held, so I signaled bullish—don’t get shaken out before the launch.
From 0.07003 to 0.08079, unrealized profit +1426.63%—a huge gain. Time to enjoy a good meal; the long wait wasn’t in vain.
Hold as long as the trend remains intact; run if it breaks down. Don’t fall in love with stocks. Staying out of the market isn’t a sin; opening positions recklessly is the mistake.

The Fed just ended a three-year pause, and Bitcoin is now trading the consequences.
The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% -4.00% on September 16, marking its first hike since July 2023. The move was widely expected, so the rate itself was not the biggest shock for crypto. The real signal came from the Fed’s projections: 16 of 18 officials expect another hike in 2026.
That matters because higher rates increase risk-free yields, raise the discount rate applied to risky assets, and can strengthen the dollar. Bitcoin, already under pressure after the CLARITY Act

I didn’t catch the entire move down: I didn’t chase the first breakdown and only entered after waiting for a pullback confirmation. $XRP bounced to the trendline but couldn’t move higher. XRP’s bearish divergence is obvious, and volume hasn’t followed through either—chasing longs is just giving money away.
Structurally, the trendline resistance is holding, the key level for the rebound has been lowered, the key level has shifted down, and a descending channel is in place. The moving averages above are bearishly aligned, while the prior low below is the short-term key level. A high-volume break
