Is SOL chain activity dead? Can you still get on board after USELESS's pullback? First, let's look at sentiment on SOL. Honestly, it's a bit cold. Bearish sentiment toward SOL on social media has just hit its highest level since 2026 began, while trading volume has also shrunk to a low. The price has fallen from 110 back to around 95–97, and the RSI has dropped to just above 40—not oversold, but not looking good either. However, one detail is worth noting: the ETF has recorded net inflows for nine consecutive weeks, absorbing more than $200 million over the past month, while exchanges have see

#BrentCrudeDrops3% Brent Crude Drops Nearly 3%
Brent crude came under renewed selling pressure, falling around 2.7%–3.3% to roughly $105 per barrel.
The decline followed reports that Saudi Arabia is offering additional crude cargoes through Oman, easing some concerns about supply disruptions. Expectations of progress toward reducing Middle East tensions also weighed on prices.
The oil move comes alongside a highly sensitive macro backdrop, with markets also reacting to the latest Federal Reserve rate decision and changes in the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields.

The Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, marking its first rate increase since 2023.
The latest projections show that 16 of the 18 officials who submitted rate forecasts expect at least one more hike in 2026, while two see rates remaining at the current level. The median projection points to another 25-basis-point increase by year-end.
The key reason remains persistent inflation. The Fed's 2026 PCE inflation forecast was raised to 3.7%, still well a

It’s obvious, yet a whole bunch of people are still calling for no rate hike, or even a rate cut. I really don’t understand.
It couldn’t even fall with a rate hike and hawkish remarks. Isn’t that clear? Anyway, I already told my brothers a few days in advance what to do.

Affected by the failed key procedural vote on the CLARITY Act and other factors, the crypto market as a whole is trending downward.

$SNDK /USDT is about to break range in a direction nobody expects.

$SNDK /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:

SL: 1566.25
TP1: 1510.39
TP2: 1494.43
TP3: 1470.48

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range, so the market is coiled and waiting for a catalyst. The 1h ATR of 13.301595 shows volatility is expanding, which often precedes a decisive move. The 15m RSI at 45.31 is neutral but leaning bearish, hinting at short-term momentum fading. The entry zone sits at 1531.00 to 1537.66, targeting TP1 at 1510.39 and TP2 at 1494.43 if shorts trigger.

$ZEC | NU7 GOVERNANCE UPDATE

The vote also supports retaining Zcash’s Bitcoin-style halving schedule, preserving its existing monetary policy.

Why It Matters:
→ Faster block confirmations could improve transaction experience.
→ Halvings remain part of the planned issuance model.

1226 short $ZEC got squeezed to 1388! ETF and upgrade double whammy—Gongming teaches you how to survive
I understand that suffocating feeling of watching your short positions get pierced one bullish candle at a time. But this time, it really isn't your fault—Grayscale's ZEC ETF absorbed $463 million in two weeks, the NU7 upgrade vote passed with 99.9% approval, and 45 million shorts were forcibly liquidated, with these three forces pushing the price all the way up to 1388.

Trade Plan:

SL: 4355.04
TP1: 4260.84
TP2: 4233.92
TP3: 4193.54

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price sits at 4301.21, right inside the entry zone between 4295.60 and 4306.82, giving a precise trigger. The 15m RSI at 52.8 shows neither overbought nor oversold, so momentum is neutral and favors a continuation of the range. The 1h ATR of 22.43 confirms the daily range is still active and volatility is contained enough for a controlled short. TP1 at 4260.84 and TP2 at 4233.92 map the measured

The Fed's rate hike is in place, and gold's head-and-shoulders pattern faces a directional decision!

Market Update

The Fed's September rate meeting concluded with a 25-basis-point rate hike, raising rates to 3.75%-4.00%. Expectations for the hike had already been partially priced in, but the Fed's hawkish remarks heightened market concerns over continued rate hikes, pushing up U.S. Treasury yields and capping gold prices in the short term. Meanwhile, safe-haven buying driven by geopolitical risks provided support at the bottom, intensifying the tug-of-war between bulls and bears. Today's k
