#FedSeptemberMinutesLeanHawkish
🏦 The Fed Sounds Hawkish, But Bitcoin Is Waiting for the Next Inflation Test
The latest Fed minutes have put traders in an interesting position. Policymakers still see a possibility of another rate hike before the end of the year, but the market is not convinced that October is the right moment. Current pricing puts the probability of an October hike below 20%, leaving investors increasingly focused on a potential pause now and another policy move later in the year.
That difference between what the Fed wants the market to believe and what traders are actually

While range-bound traders chop inside mid-range consolidation, this technical structure on $ETH is holding above key pivot support for a retest of 1st Resistance.

🏛️ Fed Hawkish Tone vs. October Pause: Macro Breakdown & Crypto Strategy
While the Fed's September meeting minutes clearly delivered a hawkish tone—reaffirming that another rate hike before year-end remains strictly on the table—the probabilities for an October rate hike currently sit below 20%.
So, will the Fed push another hike this October? In short: An October hike is highly unlikely, but a November/December move remains a distinct risk.
Here is the deep-dive analysis into why an October rate hike is improbable, what the upcoming October 14 CPI release means for the market, and how crypto

#ICP Deep-dive
Im intrigued by the claims I read and so I have tried to examine further.
ICP could make a meaningful contribution to computing, but, saying it will change the world goes beyond the evidence imo.
The technology has substance.
Its 'canister' smart contracts can run application logic, store data and serve web content.
'Chain Fusion' also allows applications to interact with other blockchains using cryptographic signing. These are useful capabilities, rather than simply a token narrative.
There are tradeoffs however.
Replicating computation across multiple machines provides secur

Brent rose above $103 a barrel on Thursday amid renewed risks of escalation involving Iran. According to The Atlantic, the White House asked the Pentagon to prepare options for strikes that could take place before the November midterm elections. No final decision has been made.
With Hurricane Isaias approaching, oil producers in the Gulf of Mexico have temporarily shut in roughly 512,000 barrels a day, or 25.08% of U.S. oil production in the region. Geopolitical risks and supply disruptions are supporting oil prices.

Fund flows may be a scam, but the whales' $11 million in real money doesn't lie!
News: This morning, two whales placed $11 million buy orders for SNDK, with the heavy-position zone at 1664-1680. One account opened a position directly after taking substantial profits on its DRAM short, while another long position with an average price of $1815 is currently at an unrealized loss and adding to the position. The market makers' intention to defend the price is obvious.

While we all going bananas at Singapore 🇸🇬
We’re in our second red day in a row.
Why?
Mostly oil due to more tension in the Middle East.
Yet I read all as more opportunities for us to buy, so bullish.

$BTC After this sharp sell-off, those who chased longs at 86000 are probably stuck halfway up the mountain. How do they get out?
Being trapped more than 3,000 points is frustrating, but don't scare yourself just yet.
The Federal Reserve has taken a harder stance, and the U.S. government has also disposed of $670 million in crypto assets. As sentiment collapsed, Bitcoin plunged straight through 83000. But let Old Zhang speak from the heart: the more panic there is, the easier it is to personally hand cheap coins to the whales.
Looking at the 1-hour chart, the long lower wick around 82500 shows

10.8 Gold Afternoon Analysis
Gold prices surged to 4143 before facing pressure, with highs gradually moving lower. A downside breakout in the afternoon released bearish momentum fully.
Daily chart: Gold prices remain below the MA20 moving average under pressure. The MACD green histogram has expanded slightly, while the RSI is near 36 in the relatively weak zone. The larger bearish structure remains unchanged; however, buying support has emerged multiple times as gold prices approached the 4100 level, and no effective breakdown acceleration has formed for now.
Resistance: 4141-4169｜Support: 411

LTF BTC doesn't look great.
If we don't manage to go back in the range I believe we are likely going down - first target around 81k after that 79k and 75k are the strongest supports. 🛑
