High elasticity, high inflation, high controversy: CORE is not unbuyable, but it cannot be treated like STX

⚠️A review of sector logic only, not investment advice,

The biggest misconception across the market:
Treating CORE as a second STX by taking a heavy position, sitting back, and using it as a core holding.

This is the root cause of 90% of retail investors’ continued losses on CORE.

Although both belong to the “BTC Layer2 / BTCFi ecosystem,” their quality, risk structures, capital profiles, token models, and institutional recognition are on completely different levels.

🚨 BITCOIN HAS LOST THE 50-WEEK EMA!
bitcoin:native has finally lost the 50-week EMA, and there are still no clear signs of a reversal.
The next scenario likely to be watched is #Bitcoin dropping to test the $70,000 support zone.
The trend is still considered bearish until #BTC can reclaim and hold above the 50-week EMA.

$XRP XRP Takes a Hit Fed Hikes & CLARITY Fails, But Are We panicking?
Today we are diving into some intense price action for XRP following a chaotic 24 hours in Washington and macroeconomics, so let's break down exactly what is happening to the charts and what it means for our portfolios. As always, thanks for tuning in with me.
The U.S. cryptocurrency market faced dual headwinds as the Senate rejected the CLARITY Act in a 49-50 vote, failing to reach the 60-vote threshold required to pass. Simultaneously, the Federal Reserve announced a 25-basis-point interest rate hike, bringing the benchma

#牛熊未定闲钱该放哪 Where Should Idle USDT Go While the Market Finds Direction?
The Market Is Recovering, but Uncertainty Remains
The crypto market is showing signs of recovery, but the next major move for Bitcoin is still being debated.
When the market direction is unclear, one question becomes especially important:
What should you do with your idle USDT while waiting for the next opportunity?
Some market participants prefer to keep their funds liquid and wait for a better entry. Others may explore ways to potentially earn a return on capital that is not currently being used.
This makes capital alloc

September 17, 06:53
Analysis:
Bitcoin and Ethereum are consolidating at high levels, with the daily charts moving sideways instead of rising. The longer the sideways movement continues, the weaker the weekly bullish momentum will become, and the probability of a decline will keep increasing. At present, Bitcoin and Ethereum have both established a bearish trend on the 4-hour charts. As long as the body of Bitcoin's 4-hour candle does not break above 79,600, it will continue to fall; Ethereum is the same if it does not break above 2,615.

OpenAI’s IPO seems unlikely, and discussions have shifted to a new round of VC financing—with a valuation of $1.2 trillion.
Giving up on going public and staying in private markets is a very typical signal: when a company is unwilling to face quarterly scrutiny from public markets, it would rather accept money from “patient capital.”
For the secondary market, this means ordinary investors do not even qualify to get on board. And the AI valuation game will continue among a select few.

#CLARITY法案未获通过
$BTC
The U.S. Senate’s September 15 procedural vote on the CLARITY Act failed to reach the required 60-vote threshold, with the motion rejected 49–50. This means the bill did not advance at that stage, but it does not by itself mean the legislation can never return for further consideration.
For crypto markets, the timing is important because this regulatory setback comes alongside an already sensitive macro environment and the Federal Reserve decision.
BTC reacted with selling pressure, bringing the $75K area back into focus.

Clawed its way back onto trending searches, but the price still clings to the lower end of the range: TRUMP rebound stalled at 1.955
Well, $TRUMP clawed its way back onto CoinGecko's trending searches, but the price is still sitting near the 30-day range low of 0.248. At this level, I would only reduce my position, not chase longs.
Meme sector sentiment moves fastest—the move from 1.814 to 1.945 overnight came with genuine volume expansion, with the latest three 15-minute volumes at 134,154/154,080/158,216, while the average volume in the previous hour was only 66,450; however, the 24h volume

Smart money is quietly stacking $AIN /USDT while retail panics over a range.

$AIN /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.0201 – 0.0265
SL: 0.0000
TP1: 0.0528
TP2: 0.0724
TP3: 0.1019

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h trend is range-bound, but the 1h RSI at 34.3 shows oversold momentum, and the 1h ATR of 0.012601 signals a squeeze is coming. The entry zone between 0.0201 and 0.0265 aligns with the 1h price of 0.0233, offering a precise long setup. TP1 at 0.0528 and TP2 at 0.0724 provide clear, stacked targets that reward patience.

#FedAnnounceRateDecisionSoon Why Markets Are Watching Closely
The Fed Decision Could Set the Tone for Multiple Markets
The next Federal Reserve rate decision is approaching, and attention across global financial markets is increasing. From currencies and stocks to commodities and crypto, traders and investors are closely watching not only the rate decision itself but also the Fed’s guidance about what could come next.
A widely anticipated rate move can sometimes be largely reflected in market prices before the announcement. In that situation, the bigger reaction may come from the Fed’s forward
