BTC is sitting around 75,900 dollars right now, per CoinDesk data timestamped 6:01am ET on Sept 16, 2026, down about 3.3 percent from yesterday's open after the CLARITY Act failed its Senate procedural vote. The Fed's rate decision is still hours away as I write this, so nobody actually knows how today closes yet, only that markets are bracing for a possible hike, the first in three years.

Last night my mom set out mooncakes and I sat there half listening to my dad talk about his garden while my phone buzzed with the CLARITY Act headline. I stepped outside to look at the moon and just thought about how my BTC position looked exactly the same as it did an hour before, but suddenly felt heavier.

That's the part I keep relearning every cycle. A single piece of regulatory news can wipe more value off my portfolio in ten minutes than three weeks of slow grinding gains. My actual lesson from 2022 was this: I used to size positions based on how confident I felt about the trend, not on how exposed I was to a single binary event like a Senate vote or a Fed decision. Now I keep a smaller core position through known event risk and add after, not before.

Mid-Autumn is supposed to be about reunion, but half my family was on their phones checking work stuff too. Maybe the market and the holiday aren't that different, everyone chasing the same moon from different rooftops, each convinced their view is the clearest one.

Anyone else holding through the Fed decision tonight, or did you already de-risk before the full moon came out? GateSquareMidAutumnReunion
