9.17 Midday Market Update $BTC $ETH The rate hike has landed, but don't rush to buy the dip—the real meat grinder has only just started! The Fed's 25 September rate hike had already been fully priced in by the market, and the core conflict has now completely shifted from “whether to hike” to “when the rate hike cycle will end.” Of the 18 FOMC officials, 16 expect further tightening this year. Hawkish signals are clear, and expectations of tighter liquidity continue to weigh on risk assets. More devastatingly, the U.S. Senate's CLARITY Act failed in a 49:50 vote, leaving the crypto industry's regulatory framework completely stalled and directly triggering market panic. Bitcoin plunged from a high of 79,500 to 74,900, falling more than 4,600 points in a single day. On-chain data shows capital inflows have stagnated for 27 consecutive days, ETFs have turned to net outflows, and new demand is severely lacking. The current rebound is purely emotional recovery after being oversold. The USDT OTC premium remains depressed, incremental capital has no desire to enter, and this is purely a game driven by existing market funds. A golden cross below the MACD zero line is merely a technical rebound, with the rebound's height and duration severely limited. Ether has fared even worse, falling from 2,614 to 2,357, significantly more than Bitcoin. It faces heavier pressure as expectations of a prolonged tightening cycle grow, while the Coinbase buyer ratio has plunged to 41%, with sellers completely in control. Trading recommendations Try shorting Bitcoin with a light position around 77,000–76,700, targeting 75,500–76,000; if support breaks, watch 75,000 Try shorting Ether with a light position around 2,450–2,460, targeting 2,400; if support breaks, watch 2,380

I didn’t make any judgment call—I just held a little longer, and didn’t expect it to really come through for me. When I opened the chart this morning, ETH was forming a bottom without breaking down. My reminder was simple: if it doesn’t break down, wait—don’t scare yourself. $ETH From 1883.20 to 2443.7, +5176.2%—that was a satisfying mouthful of profit, with the timing spot-on. Take profit on 80% first, and protect the remaining 20% at the entry price. If it keeps surging, let the profits run. Have a strategy before the market opens, discipline during the session, and reflection afterward. Hold as long as the trend remains intact; exit if it breaks down. Don’t fall in love with a stock. This isn’t the time to chase; there will be more opportunities later. $LAB $ADA
