Early Thursday morning, the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point rate hike, raising the benchmark interest rate to 3.75%-4.00%. This was the first rate hike since July 2023 and was in line with market expectations. The Federal Reserve had previously remained on hold for five consecutive meetings.
Full text of the policy statement
The Federal Open Market Committee approved the following statement by a vote of 12 in favor and 0 opposed:
To support the Federal Reserve's dual mandate, the Committee decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%—4%. T

After $SPCX surged to 151.96, I instead took profits on 70% first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the previous high resistance, so the risk-reward of continuing to chase has worsened. The move up from 148.44 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level, while trading volume also expanded on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the previous high is the first key level. If, after the breakout, the price can pull back on lower volume and hold the upper boundary, that would establish a new entry setup; if it only s

September 17 Morning Brief
1. Fed Raises Interest Rates by 25 Basis Points at September Meeting
The Fed chair said inflation remains above the target level, so it chose to raise rates by one-quarter point (25 bps). The latest dot plot shows that the market still expects the possibility of further policy tightening this year, putting some pressure on risk assets.
Impact:
Negative for risk assets such as BTC and ETH in the short term
The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields strengthen, while risk appetite declines
Watch for whether the market enters a “pause after rate hikes” phase
2. Bitcoin Falls t

What happened!
I woke up first thing in the morning crying so much.
Where did I get so much money?
It must be a bug, definitely a bug.
Boohoohoo.

Everyone watching $XAG /USDT for a breakout just missed the real move.

$XAG /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 63.27 – 63.45
SL: 64.20
TP1: 62.73
TP2: 62.31
TP3: 61.69

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range-bound, but the 1h price is trapped at 63.36 with a 15m RSI of 48.5, showing neither overbought nor oversold exhaustion. The 1h ATR of 0.34841 confirms the current volatility is compressing, which often precedes a sharp directional shift. Entering at the 63.27 to 63.45 zone targets TP1 at 62.73 and a deeper TP2 at 62.31, while the invalidation level of 64.93 stands as the abso

#MemeTokensPullBackAcrossChain Meme Tokens Pull Back Across Chains, But The Story Is Not Over
Meme tokens are once again showing how quickly sentiment can change across the crypto market. After periods of strong speculation and aggressive buying, meme assets across multiple chains are experiencing a pullback, reminding traders that momentum can disappear just as quickly as it appears.
The important point is that a pullback does not automatically mean the entire meme market trend has ended. Meme tokens are driven heavily by liquidity, attention, community activity, listings, narratives, and sho

The Fed’s rate hike landed overnight, with the dot plot sending a hawkish signal and suggesting that high interest rates may remain in place for longer.
Going forward, closely monitor the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield and Brent crude oil, the two key indicators. Rising Treasury yields weigh on growth assets, while higher oil prices support inflation.
With both indicators strengthening in tandem, pressure on risk assets is increasing. It is not advisable to blindly bet on a major rebound at this stage; be sure to control position sizes.

The position-flipping guru once again successfully predicted Bitcoin and Ethereum’s trend, with last night’s drop successfully luring in bottom shorts around 2,380. If news were useful, why bother with technical analysis? Becoming our counterparty will only ever turn you into a trapped holder.

$LSK and $ONE both announced chain shutdowns + Ethereum migration this week. Same news type, opposite results.
LSK: +700% in 24h ($0.20→$2.37), $41M+ shorts liquidated — but it's a leverage-driven short squeeze, not fundamentals.
ONE: price dropped instead, because a $3T+ exploit in August already broke trust before the migration news landed.
Lesson: "shutdown = bullish" is a myth. Check liquidity depth + trust history before you react to the headline.

ETH’s one-hour price has touched the upper Bollinger Band channel while reaching a recent horizontal resistance zone. In terms of indicators, the KDJ J value has surged above 91, entering clear overbought territory, and the need for a short-term pullback continues to intensify. Regarding trading volume, the volume during this rebound has contracted significantly compared with the increased volume during the previous decline, making this a low-volume rebound with insufficient bullish momentum. As the price surges toward the upper Bollinger Band, selling pressure can easily be unleashed. The pro

September 17 Morning Market Brief
$BTC approximately $76,200, $ETH approximately $2,470; the market saw a recovery after the Fed's rate hike, but overall sentiment remains cautious

Couldn’t sleep, so I got up and had breakfast. When I came back, the market had moved roughly as expected. This pullback was news-driven; between gold and the Nasdaq, I chose to keep the Nasdaq position. The returns are good, so I’m keeping an advantageous position and will trade the swings to hedge after I wake up.
