Waller hikes rates, forced to go head-to-head with Trump!
The first rate hike in three years, passing unanimously with all 12 votes.
The federal funds rate rose from 3.50%–3.75% to 3.75%–4.00%. The first move since July 2023.
Waller’s statement was short and forceful, just over a hundred words.
The economic assessment was very firm: growth is steady, domestic demand is resilient, productivity is strong, capital spending is robust, employment is holding up, and the unemployment rate has barely moved. Then came one sentence that killed all wishful thinking: inflation remains elevated.

Trump continues to call for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, but the Fed instead raised them.
On September 16, the Fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4%, and most officials expected further rate hikes before the end of the year. Trump subsequently publicly called for rates to be lowered to 1% or even less.
The impact on the crypto market is actually quite direct:
Trump wants easing → risk assets should theoretically benefit;
The Fed is actually continuing to tighten → highly volatile assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are under short-term pressure.

After $PUMP surged to 0.003673, I actually took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key previous high, making further chasing less attractive. The move up from 0.003600 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level, while volume also expanded on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the previous high is the first key level. If, after breaking through, price can pull back on lower volume and hold the upper boundary, that would be the new entry logic; if it simply spikes above and then falls back, it

$TRUMP /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1.921 – 1.935
SL: 1.993
TP1: 1.880
TP2: 1.847
TP3: 1.799

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is bearish while the 1h price sits exactly at the entry reference of 1.928, and the 15m RSI at 40.72 shows bearish momentum without an oversold bounce. The 1h ATR of 0.026919 tells us the swing range is tight enough that an entry zone between 1.921 and 1.935 is a precision setup for a move toward TP1 at 1.880 and TP2 at 1.847. Holding the position invalidates the entire bearish the

1. Fed Raises Interest Rates by 25 Basis Points at September Meeting
The Fed chair said inflation remains above the target level, so it chose to raise rates by one-quarter point (25 bps). The latest dot plot shows that the market still expects the possibility of further policy tightening this year, putting some pressure on risk assets.
Impact:
Negative for risk assets such as BTC and ETH in the short term
The dollar and U.S. Treasury yields strengthen, while risk appetite declines
Watch for whether the market enters a “pause after rate hikes” phase

🔥 $C USDT is losing momentum after the rejection near $101!

💰 Entry: $96.70 – $97.30
🎯 TP1: $96.00
🎯 TP2: $95.00
🎯 TP3: $94.32
🛑 SL: $99.20
📌 Setup Logic:
Price has been making lower highs and lower lows after the $101 area rejection. Sellers are still pressing around $96–97.
A clean break below $96.00 could open the way toward $95.00 → $94.32.
⚠️ If price reclaims $99.20, this short setup is invalidated.

After those two long upper wicks appeared at the highs, I no longer considered chasing longs. $BABY repeatedly pushed into the key zone several times but was knocked back each time; this kind of price action itself is a signal that overhead holders are distributing, and chasing aggressively only means doing others a favor.
From a structural perspective, price broke below the starting point of the previous high-volume bullish candle, and the rebound failed to reclaim the prior low, so bears have the upper hand in the short term. The moving average has shifted from a key level to a key level, w

#OpenAISeeks1.2TrillionValuationBeforeIPO
$1.2 trillion for OpenAI sounds like a valuation story. I think the more interesting story is what investors believe OpenAI could become.
OpenAI is reportedly in early discussions with investors about a new funding round that could value the company at more than $1.2 trillion, ahead of a potential future IPO. The important word here is “discussions.” This is not a completed financing round, the valuation is not final, and there is still no confirmed IPO date. Reuters reported that the talks were based on Financial Times reporting, while other reports
