USDC Circulation Drops by $300 Million in One Week
USDC circulation has slipped by around 300 million tokens over the past 7 days.
According to Circle’s latest data, around 9.1B USDC was issued, while approximately 9.4B USDC was redeemed, bringing the net change in circulation to roughly -300M USDC.
As of September 17, 2026, about 73.8B USDC remains in circulation.
What’s interesting is the reserve side. Circle says USDC is backed 1:1 by highly liquid cash and cash-equivalent assets, with reserves including short-term U.S. Treasuries, overnight reverse repos, and bank deposits.

CRYPTO MARKET REALLY DOES REPEAT ITSELF.
Look at $MTV from 2019–2021.
The interesting part isn’t copying the exact chart — it’s the market behavior.
Long accumulation.
Low attention.
Slow grinding price action.
Then, when the structure finally breaks, the move can accelerate very quickly.
We’re starting to see similar-looking structures appear across different parts of the market again.
Some coins already look like they’re getting late in their accumulation ranges, while others still need more time to prove the setup.
That doesn’t mean every chart is about to explode.
But if history rhymes, t

$HEI The most unusual detail today is not the 28.94% gain, but that the funding rate has already reached +0.0050%—longs are paying to hold positions, yet the price is still trading just below the Bollinger upper band at 0.179569, indicating that this rally is driven by active buying rather than a passive short squeeze.
Technically, MA5=0.16948 has crossed above MA20=0.151865, and a bullish moving-average alignment is beginning to form. The MACD histogram at +0.001843 remains in bullish expansion, leaving no dispute over the trend direction. What truly warrants caution is RSI=68.6, approaching

$INJ
We got an opportunity to load Injective at an accumulation zone of $2.623-$2.903, and we are up 190%.
Then, a second entry at $4.112 and from that, we are up 87%. Again, INJ is deflationary and has a total max supply of 99million tokens. Very undervalued and a proper revenue generator.
All I wanna see is more push from the Bulls to the key S/R level of $9.956, where I expect a reaction there if we get there.
Where should I be adding if I missed the two entries?
1. Either you wait for the $9.956 level to flip and for support to be confirmed, then you can bid.
or
2. We reject the $9.956 r

Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rate to 1.25% — A New Era for Japanese Monetary Policy
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, marking the highest level in roughly 31 years. The decision, announced on September 18, 2026, reflects the BOJ’s growing focus on inflation risks and the need to gradually normalize monetary policy.
The move represents another important step away from Japan’s long period of ultra-loose monetary policy. With inflation pressures remaining a key concern and the yen still relatively weak, policymak

Just imagine what happens after we break 83k

Watching the charts nonstop got annoying; once I turned them off, I could see things more clearly. With my eyes off the screen, my heart wasn’t as anxious either. A few days ago in the afternoon, $ONE stayed in a bottom-range consolidation for a long time, then held firm after a pullback. The feeling that funds were quietly entering was obvious, so I suggested that longs could be added gradually.

During the repeated intraday swings, many people were shaken out, but I chose to hold a little longer. Entered at 0.000713, now at 0.002392, with an unrealized gain of +4640.07%. Nailed the rhythm—

$LSK Current price 0.4531, down 12.80% over 24h, with a trading volume of 17.1M USDT; the Fear and Greed Index is still in the greed zone at 71. A clear divergence has emerged: although the price has plunged, MA5 (0.44898) remains above MA20 (0.44202), the MACD histogram at +0.002883 remains bullish, and RSI at 52.6 is neutral, indicating a sharp shakeout rather than a trend breakdown. More importantly, the funding rate is -0.1318%: shorts are paying and longs are being subsidized, indicating high short congestion. Once the broader market stabilizes, rebound momentum could easily be ignited.

TAO is coiling inside a range while smart money quietly sets up a short.

$TAO /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 263.5 – 265.9
SL: 279.7
TP1: 253.5
TP2: 246.0
TP3: 234.7

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range-bound, which means TAO is trapped between clear boundaries and a decisive move is overdue. The 1h ATR of 4.803733 shows average hourly volatility is compressing before the burst. The 15m RSI sitting at 53.23 signals neutral momentum, not yet exhausted, which favors a patient short entry around 264.7. The entry zone between 263.5 and 265.9 aligns with the 1h price, giving a

Ethereum wants to speed up its heartbeat by two seconds.
Ethereum Institutional has publicly backed a proposal to shorten block times, and developers are discussing reducing the 12-second block interval to 10 seconds for the first time through the Hegotá upgrade. The institution said Friday that Ethereum must move faster.
Two seconds may not seem like much, but they would bring tangible improvements to the confirmation experience and on-chain matching. The competition in scaling is no longer just about TPS, but also about the latency users do not notice.

A 5% Treasury yield is pricing Bitcoin and gold.
Mike McGlone, senior macro strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, believes that continued rises in U.S. Treasury yields will give investors stronger incentives to reduce their Bitcoin and gold positions, as tightening monetary conditions reshape global asset pricing.
When risk-free yields offer 5%, the cost of holding volatile assets becomes explicit. This is the same question for gold and Bitcoin: they do not need to outperform each other—they need to outperform Treasuries.

Everyone is missing the short setup forming on BNB right now.

$BNB /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 768.9 – 771.3
SL: 785.3
TP1: 758.7
TP2: 751.1
TP3: 739.7

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is sitting at 770.2 inside a defined entry zone between 768.9 and 771.3, giving us a precise trigger. The 15m RSI is at 59.57, showing room to run lower before overbought territory kills momentum. The 1h ATR is 4.875616, which means the average hourly move is large enough to reach TP1 at 758.7 and TP2 at 751.1 without getting chopped out. The daily trend remains bullish, so this short is a revers
