Hawkish minutes, market continues to wait
The minutes of the September 15–16 FOMC meeting, released on October 7, 2026, confirmed a shift toward tightening. The Committee unanimously raised the fed funds target by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, with a 12–0 vote. That was the first hike since July 2023. All participants supported the move because it was seen as accelerating inflation’s return to the 2% target.
The hawkish tone emerged on several points:
- Most participants viewed another hike as “likely appropriate” before the end of the year.
- Many saw a higher interest-rate path as insura

Switching between apps just to make one move has become a normal pain. You hold funds in one place, you need to pay from another, you check fee, you check FX rate, you wait for arrival, you track balance across three screens. Even a small cross border move can take more effort than it should.
Last month I had a clear case. I had to pay a partner overseas. My assets were in one app, my spend account in another. I had to shift assets to main balance, swap to local money, then open a third app for cross border send. Each step had its own fee, its own FX, its own wait

The funding rate is flat as if nothing happened, but open interest has quietly slipped 9 points😏. With 77% of longs huddled for warmth on support, this isn’t absorption—it’s waiting to be carried out. The breakdown is right at your feet; don’t wait until it gets smashed through to start crying foul.

Your trading history can prove a lot about you, but handing over the full record just to prove one thing is excessive.
@primus_labs is working on a cleaner way to verify specific Web2 data while keeping the underlying information private.

#USSeptemberJobs29K
29K jobs against a 90K forecast — and the first reaction was not as simple as “bad jobs = bullish BTC.”
The September jobs report came in dramatically below expectations, with the U.S. economy adding only around 29K jobs versus the 90K forecast. Unemployment moved up to 4.2%, private hiring was only around 46K, government employment declined by roughly 17K, and previous months were revised lower.
That combination deserves more attention than the headline number alone.
The first myth I keep seeing is: “Weak jobs means the Fed will start cutting.”
That's not the right conclu

$QNT Enters Oversold Territory; a Rebound and a Bottom Are Two Different Things
$QNT 24-hour -10.67%, current price 225.32. The 1-hour and 4-hour RSI are 22 and 32, respectively. Oversold conditions create demand for a rebound, but a rebound only shows that the decline was steep; a bottom still requires the price to stop damaging the structure.
The current 1-hour trading volume is approximately 1.01 times the average volume of the previous 20 candles, with activity still near normal levels. This means key levels need to be confirmed through continuity: touching, breaking above, and holding are

$OGN The most unusual detail today: up 110.70% in 24 hours, yet the funding rate is -0.0583%. The price is surging while shorts are still paying—this signals that the short squeeze is not over, rather than that a top has formed.
Technically, MA5=0.042598 has clearly moved above MA20=0.0314965, the moving averages are in a bullish alignment with the spread continuing to widen, and the trend structure remains intact. The MACD histogram=+0.001631 is maintaining bullish momentum, with no signs of convergence. What really warrants caution is RSI=81.8, which has entered overbought territory; combin
