Sorry, we failed.
As expected, the CLARITY Act failed to pass, with the final vote ending in a 50 VS 50 tie.
Simply put, the bill would classify cryptocurrencies, determine which fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction and which under the CFTC’s, and establish the rules exchanges must follow to register.
After being dragged out for more than a year, it’s starting to feel a bit like the ETF saga back then.
Promise me: after today’s drop, it can’t drop again tomorrow when the FOMC raises interest rates. 🥹

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market action, but now I have to take it all back, which is a little awkward. A few days ago, I checked $LAB before bed. It strongly smelled like a bull trap, with clear overhead resistance, so I said not to rush into LAB shorts—any rebound would be an opportunity. Before the market had fully started moving, I said not to chase longs.

0.08529 to 0.04972, +820.93%—that was a satisfying bite. The short was realized, and the timing was right.

Panic comes from having no plan; losses come from overthinking.

Everyone's Calling This a Yield Story. The Daily Numbers Say Otherwise.
BlackRock runs two ETH ETFs side by side. ETHA just holds ETH. ETHB stakes it and pays ~2% yield, monthly.
Since March, the assumption has been simple: money chases yield, so ETHB should be eating ETHA's lunch. I checked the actual daily flows. That's not what's happening.
Sept 11: ETHA +$148.8M, ETHB +$18.3M
Sept 14: ETHA +$80.5M, ETHB +$14.39M
Lifetime: ETHA $13.4B, ETHB $845M
Same pattern, every single session. Rotation means one side shrinks while the other grows. Here, both keep growing together, ETHA just growing fas

NEAR is trending across the entire internet, but futures funds are pulling out: I’m shorting this sentiment-driven move first
$NEAR 24h -6.8% and still trending—people are entering, but money is leaving. Direction: bearish in the short term; any rebound is a window to reduce positions.

Current price 2.334 (24h range 2.298–2.504), with a volume ratio of only 0.942—attention has not translated into volume; the Fear & Greed Index is at 69, in the greed zone.

Bearish rationale: first, funds are pulling out, with OI down 14.82% versus last week’s record and the long-short ratio at 1.7525; sec

$HYPE I started tracking this drop when it began coming under pressure from the highs, without acting on the first wick down. After it fell back below the key level and failed to reclaim it on the rebound, I opened a short around 79.414. Shorting here offered a clear stop-loss, making it easy to manage even if wrong.

During the holding period, there were two minor rebounds, both capped by the previous high, with selling pressure remaining intact. The price is now at 76.992, with unrealized profit of +216.49%. I’m taking profits on an 80/20 basis: banking the main position first and using a p

Fed macro

Overall assessment: The current macro environment is bearish
Core: The latest inflation data came in stronger than expected, and the market expects the Fed’s rate cuts to be delayed, while leaving open the possibility of further hikes. U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated, the dollar is strong, and risk assets are under pressure.

✅ Bullish factors:

1. The market expects that there will be no further sustained aggressive rate hikes, with high interest rates nearing their end;
​
2. As long as inflation declines later, expectations for rate cuts will emerge, and the implementation

Gold Morning Outlook for September 16
Gold traded in a weak, range-bound pattern yesterday, with prices consolidating narrowly within the $4,320–$4,260 range during the day. The daily chart formed a doji with upper and lower shadows.
On the fundamental side, market expectations for another rate hike this year have risen somewhat. The Federal Reserve will announce its latest rate decision at 2:00 a.m. tomorrow, and market sentiment has become more cautious, narrowing gold’s short-term trading range.
Technically, although gold’s overall decline has slowed over the past two days, the broader tren

This move—I genuinely didn’t understand it, but it understood me. When the whole screen was glowing green, everyone else was running, while I calmly analyzed $AAOI ’s rebound structure. Every upward push was forced back down, the rebound was weak, and selling pressure was strong. I went short at 152.22 and took profits when it was time.
I’d rather miss a limit-up move than catch a falling knife and end up covered in blood.
During the repeated intraday swings, 95.76 was reached, and +1786.22% felt incredible. I closed 80% first, protected the remaining 20% at breakeven, and let the profits run

Held the short position until now, and the $XRP sell-off has delivered the payoff. My earlier judgment was straightforward: it failed to break the previous high, and the rebound came on declining volume, showing that selling pressure overhead was still present, so I maintained a bearish bias.

There was a wick in between, nearly hitting the protection level, but I did not change my view because of a single wick. After breaking below the key level and confirming the retest, the unrealized profit expanded to +847.48%; I’m taking 80% off the table here.

The remaining 20% will follow the protec

Bitcoin’s 5-day line failed to break above the previous high. In this situation, if it does not break the previous high, could it later set a new yearly low, namely $57,000? No one knows. Price fluctuations are determined by the market, and no one can shake its position in determining those fluctuations! I wonder whether Trump will have any bullish news later. The market doesn’t seem to have any particularly bearish news at the moment either! Keeping some bullets in your pocket is the best strategy; no matter how much it pulls back or rises, you can stay in control!

ETH SHORT PLAN — TARGET HIT
ETH has dropped more than 11% since yesterday.
My TA plan was to short ETH from the $2,600 area, targeting a move below $2,470.
ETH pushed up to around $2,615 before reversing sharply and dropping more than 11%.
Day Low: $2,355
The move followed the planned setup and target direction.
TA clicked. 📉

The hardest part of a profitable trade is exiting. $LSK I also scaled out while holding this short position, initially watching for resistance at the highs and entering around 0.4334 only after it failed to break the previous high.

There were pullback confirmations during the holding period, along with a few brief wicks, but I managed the position strictly according to the protection level and did not let short-term fluctuations change my direction. As long as the trend remains intact, I will continue holding the short.

At 0.3749, I handled the +265.77% gains with an 80/20 split: I took 80

$LINK On this short trade, I’m placing more emphasis on the pullback after the false breakout of the previous high. There was no follow-through when it first pushed into the key level, and it lost that level again on the retest, so I opened a short around 11.419 rather than chasing the wick. After entering, I’m first watching whether it can break below the previous low; until it does, I’m treating this as a probing position.

At this point, the price has reached 10.981, and the account shows +272.78%. As planned, I first closed 80%, with the remaining 20% placed at a protective level. This is
