#16FedOfficialsExpectAnotherHikeThisYear
THE FED HIKED — BUT CRYPTO DIDN’T BREAK. NOW THE REAL TEST BEGINS
The Federal Reserve has officially moved back into tightening mode.
On September 16, the Fed raised its benchmark interest-rate target by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, marking its first rate increase in more than three years. More importantly, the latest projections show that the September hike may not be the final move of 2026. Sixteen of the 18 officials who submitted projections see at least one additional hike this year.
That changes the market conversation.
The question is no long

The entire sector is broadly rising, so why is it the only one that has yet to enter the acceleration phase?
The answer lies in relative strength. $SY 24h +6.35%, with a trading volume of 30.0M, has the smallest gain among the three candidates, but its structure is not weak: MA5=0.1899 has moved above MA20=0.1852, RSI 56.4 is in the neutral-to-strong zone, and there is still about 8% room before reaching the Bollinger upper band at 0.2099; by comparison, $UNI RSI is already 72, the MACD histogram at +0.07081 has entered the overbought zone, and $CRCLB has limited elasticity with a volatility o

$UNI is finally testing the ceiling it’s been respecting for years 👀
The $3–4 area held as major support, even after that deviation below it.
Now price is back above support and pushing toward the long-term descending trendline.
A clean breakout + retest could completely change the higher-timeframe structure.
Watching this one closely.
Not financial advice.

$XRP check-in 👀
Price shown: 1.2962
Change shown: +1.31%
The nearby 1.30 round number is worth watching, but this price list cannot tell us whether it is real resistance.
I’d look for a move above it that holds, rather than reacting to a brief touch.

After $VVV surged to 25.165, I instead took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key previous-high resistance, so the risk-reward of chasing further has deteriorated. The move up from 22.088 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level, while volume also expanded on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the previous 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 above and then falls back, i

#ZEC大涨23%领涨PayFi板块 #Gate广场中秋团圆局 How Much Further Can the Privacy Sector Go? — The Real Substance and Ceiling Behind ZEC's Lead

BTC is falling because of the FOMC rate hike, while ZEC surged against the trend on the eve of the FOMC. This is no coincidence—it is capital actively seeking refuge in privacy assets amid the “regulatory tightening” narrative.

The four real drivers behind ZEC’s surge
First, the ETF channel has opened, and compliant capital is entering with real money. Grayscale’s ZEC spot ETF (ZCSH) has been listed on the NYSE for two weeks, with assets surpassing $500 million an
