$NEAR breaking out above 6+ month resistance

#Polymarket is not being talked about much right now, but that does not stop it from remaining a binary options trading platform that can consistently generate cash flow, with many contracts systematically giving away money.

$ETH ETH Ignored Two Confirmed Bearish Catalysts. That's the Signal.
Two of the most bearish catalysts crypto could've been handed in one week landed within days of each other.
The Clarity Act failed to pass.
The Fed hiked 25bps instead of cutting.
Either headline alone should have sent ETH through its range lows.
It didn't happen.
ETH ran a clean ABC correction straight into the news. Wave C dropped into the exact same zone that's held for days.
Instead of breaking down on two confirmed bearish catalysts, price compressed at the lows, volume drying up candle by candle, then printed a Change o

#ETHDropsBelow2400
ETH Below $2,400: Breakdown or Just a Warning Signal?
Ethereum recently slipped below the psychologically important $2,400 level during the volatility, but the reaction afterward is more important than the headline itself. ETH recovered toward the $2,450–$2,600 area, showing that buyers were still willing to defend lower prices.
For me, the key distinction is between an intraday breakdown and a confirmed structural breakdown. A temporary move below support can become a liquidity event, while a sustained weekly close below support would carry much more technical significance

Most people start panicking after a 20% drop, but the person on my list has instead laid out a position for buying the dip—that’s the difference. I can see exactly what Shuqin is doing: that move to sell at $97 was something she announced in advance.
Now that it has fallen to around $80, she says it can be accumulated gradually between $75 and $80. This is what I look for in people—sell at the highs, then buy back after the drop, profiting twice from the same stock.
She also said herself that this level may not be the bottom, so it’s about accumulating gradually, not going all-in at once.

📢 Fed interest rate meeting early Thursday morning | Macro review
✅ Decision: The benchmark interest rate remains unchanged, with no hike and no cut.
✅ Powell's remarks were hawkish in tone: Inflation has not yet stabilized, rate cuts will be delayed, and the possibility of further hikes remains.
📌 Macro interpretation:
U.S. inflation is sticky and the labor market is resilient, extending the period of high rates and lowering market expectations for rate cuts.
👉 Market impact:
The market is likely to consolidate amid short-term volatility, with intensified bull-bear battles and frequent bai

🚨 JUST IN: 🇺🇸 A U.S. House committee has advanced legislation to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. ₿🔥
Bitcoin just moved another step closer to the U.S. balance sheet.

FED DECISION: HIGHER FOR LONGER IS BACK. 🇺🇸
1️⃣ Fed hikes rates by 25 BPS — first hike since July 2023
2️⃣ 12–0 unanimous decision
3️⃣ Fed says the move supports a “timelier” return to 2% inflation
4️⃣ Median forecast points to ONE MORE 25 BPS HIKE IN 2026
5️⃣ Job gains remain strong; unemployment has “changed little”
6️⃣ Fed: “The Committee will deliver price stability.”

After $VVV surged to 24.367, I instead took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, making further chasing less worthwhile. The move up from 22.088 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.
The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. After the breakout, only a low-volume pullback that holds the upper boundary would create a new entry setup; if it merely spikes up and then falls back, it could be a false breakout. I’ve

President Trump said he told Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh to “vote with the board” on today’s rate hike because “it won’t make any difference” 🇺🇸
When asked whether he still had confidence in Warsh, Trump said yes, then lashed out at other members of the Federal Reserve.
“He has a very difficult board. This board was put there by a lot of people. And interest rates are too high. It’s inappropriate.”
“The board is very hostile. They’re very political. They’re doing the wrong thing.”
“We should be paying the lowest interest rates in the world because we have the strongest credit.”
He also

After the price bounced off the second base, it remained stalled at the first base; this is to be expected, however, as the price breakout from the first base transforms the area from a demand zone into a supply zone.

#OpenAISeeks1.2TrillionValuationBeforeIPO
$1.2 trillion for OpenAI sounds like a valuation story. I think the more interesting story is what investors believe OpenAI could become.
OpenAI is reportedly in early discussions with investors about a new funding round that could value the company at more than $1.2 trillion, ahead of a potential future IPO. The important word here is “discussions.” This is not a completed financing round, the valuation is not final, and there is still no confirmed IPO date. Reuters reported that the talks were based on Financial Times reporting, while other reports

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.

Overnight, Bitcoin formed a typical “bottoming and rebound” pattern after the news was released. The Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate hike was fully in line with market expectations, and the vote passed unanimously at 12:0. The rate decision itself did not deliver any unexpected hawkish shock, as most of the bearish impact had already been priced in before the decision. The price first edged up to around 76,300, then mounted a strong rebound, dipping as low as 75,000 before quickly surging back to around 76,500. It is currently trading near 76,300 again.
Technically, the 75,000 level has

The Fed raised rates by 25 basis points as expected, while crypto prices consolidated slightly and rebounded—continue shorting on rebounds! BTC and ETH outlook for 9/17
After the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points, Trump said on social media that interest rates should be lowered to 1% or below. He said the US has the strongest credit in the world and that the current economy is attracting substantial new investment. If the US stopped trading with countries with which it runs trade deficits, it could gain at least $1.5 trillion annually. He said, “‘Deficit’ essentially means ‘loss,’” adding th

At 2 a.m. last night, the Fed’s rate decision raised rates by 25 basis points. Gold plunged sharply, and the airdrop market may continue for several days. Today, pay close attention to whether gold’s bearish trend continues; BTC and ETH are also set to face a major bearish market. Long-position holders should exercise caution! 😎

Damn, I said to watch 4233 a couple of days ago. Sigh. Sure enough, volatility was huge last night. They hiked rates by 25 basis points, and I waited until 1:30 a.m. last night but really couldn’t stay awake, so I went to sleep.
