Bitcoin has retraced 38% from its all-time high, with the pattern said to resemble a mid-cycle bottom.
Some analysts believe BTC is currently about 38% below its all-time high, a retracement range similar to the characteristics of mid-cycle bottoms in previous cycles—neither a euphoric top nor yet an extreme deep-bear-market level.
The chart shows BTC’s recent 10-day trend (Gate spot, 1-hour). The retracement is merely a reference point; the real direction still depends on the Federal Reserve decision and regulatory progress.

Fed decision tonight. First rate hike since 2023. Let me tell you what I actually think.
I've been in this market since 2012 and I've traded through the 2022–2023 hiking cycle, so I've seen how these days play out. Most people are going to be glued to the 2:00 PM headline. That headline is already decided. The hike is priced at over 90%. The real trade happens at 2:30 PM when Warsh opens his mouth, and in one small number buried in the dot plot.
First, some context, because a lot of you weren't watching closely in 2023.
The last time the Fed hiked was July 2023. Rates hit 5.25%–5.50% and sat t

“Machi Big Brother’s” $12.3 million shrank to $1 million in one month.
On-chain tracker Ember disclosed that Huang Licheng used approximately $150k in capital to repeatedly compound highly leveraged long ETH positions in August. As the price rose from around $1,900 to approximately $2,500, he repeatedly added to his positions, with his account equity at one point growing to about $12.3 million.
But since September, ETH has repeatedly fluctuated between $2,400 and $2,600. High leverage is most sensitive to two-way volatility, and frequent stop-loss hits caused his equity to fall back to approxi

Tonight, either way, you’re in for some pain—the majority are only watching whether rates go up, but he’s already laid out a playbook for both outcomes.
Let me repeat the two scenarios from Coin-savvy Cat: if rates are hiked, there’ll be a rapid sell-off with a wick, followed by stabilization and a rebound—a 2B false breakdown; if rates aren’t hiked, it’ll take off right where it stands. Put simply, 2B means fooling you first, then pulling the price back up.
That bill failed to pass last night. I went over the market action: from 77,000, it plunged to 74,900, a drop of more than 2,000 points,

CLARITY Act Just Hit a Major Roadblock — Now Crypto Has to Read the Reaction
The headline everyone was watching has arrived, and it was not the clean breakthrough many traders were waiting for.
The U.S. Senate rejected the procedural motion to advance the CLARITY Act, with the vote ending 49–50, far below the 60 votes required to clear the cloture hurdle. The vote was procedural rather than final passage of the legislation, but the immediate message for the market is clear: U.S. crypto market-structure legislation has hit a significant roadblock.

Let me talk about my personal view again
The day before yesterday, I said I would short ETH. 2550 and 2580 were both levels to short at, and the decline came as expected, with the low reaching 2360. There should still be room to fall, but it would be best to reduce the position, because the market has been extremely choppy recently. Even when it is set to fall, the move has not been decisive. In this kind of market, it is best to leave some room for T trades.
After tonight, the interest rate decision will come in the early hours. The result will be either how much rates are raised or no rate h

$BTC is starting to build higher lows from the $75.3K support, and price is now pushing back above the rising trendline. As long as buyers keep defending the $75.8K–$76K area, I’m looking for continuation toward the next resistance.
Entry: $76,000–$76,250
Targets:
TP1: $76,600
TP2: $77,025
TP3: $77,300
Stop: $75,650
For me, $75.8K is the key level here. Hold above it and the long setup stays alive. A clean breakdown below $75,650 would
