Last time $SPY dumped into the lows on high volume it gapped up and ran to new ATH
Is the same thing about to happen again?

#FedHikes25bpsForFirstTimeIn3Years
FED HIKES 25BPS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3 YEARS
THE FED JUST FLIPPED THE MACRO SWITCH
The Federal Reserve has delivered a major policy shift, raising the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%. This is the first Fed rate hike since July 2023, putting the latest decision firmly in the spotlight for stocks, crypto, bonds, gold and the U.S. dollar.
25BPS HIKE. THREE-YEAR BREAK.
For more than three years, the market had not seen a fresh Fed rate increase. That changed on September 16, 2026.
The FOMC voted 12–0 to raise rates by a quarter perce

#BrentCrudeDrops3% Brent Crude Drops 3%
Brent crude oil prices fell roughly 3% on September 17, 2026, extending the previous session’s decline as concerns about immediate Middle East supply disruptions eased. Brent briefly traded around $102 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) moved below $100.
A key factor behind the sell-off was news that Saudi Arabia is arranging additional crude shipments through Oman. This alternative route could help compensate for disruptions caused by damage to the kingdom’s East-West pipeline, reducing fears of an immediate shortage. Reports also ind

REGULATORY DELAY OPENS A WINDOW FOR STABLECOIN REWARDS. According to Bernstein, the setback of the Clarity Act means that earning on idle digital assets can continue without immediate legislative disruption, shifting the focus to upcoming agency rules. - Legislative failure keeps current reward structures alive. - Market watchers anticipate quick actions from the SEC and CFTC. - Interest in $USDC and other stablecoins stays high. Honestly, navigating these shifting policy landscapes feels like trying to hit a moving target every single day. #CryptoRegulation #Stablecoins #GateIdleEarnAutoYield

Everyone is sleeping on AKE while the daily trend screams bullish.

$AKE /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.020561 – 0.021353
SL: 0.017155
TP1: 0.023808
TP2: 0.025709
TP3: 0.028560

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is firmly bullish, giving the long a structural tailwind that most traders are ignoring right now. The 15m RSI at 48.17 shows room to breathe before overbought, meaning an entry near 0.020957 inside the 0.020561 to 0.021353 zone is not chasing exhaustion. With the 1h ATR at 0.001584, moves are alive enough to capture the first target at 0.023808 and potentially stretch to

$ETH $BTC Prices rose instead of falling after today’s rate hike took effect? I had already envisioned this market move several times, and mentioned in yesterday’s post that whether rates were raised or not, the decision would be bullish. I also remained firm and did not cut losses on my earlier trapped long position, and have now successfully broken even.

$aster will pum to $1 this year, I think its huge possibilities.

According to reports, $META CEO Mark Zuckerberg, $SPCX CEO Elon Musk, and $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang pushed Trump to abandon a proposed AI regulatory agency supported by $GOOGL DeepMind's Demis Hassabis.
They argued that this could “concentrate power in the hands of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.”

#ArcEcosystemAndMemeCoinsPlunge
ARC ECOSYSTEM AND MEME COINS PLUNGE
THE HYPE MEETS ITS FIRST REALITY CHECK
The launch of a new blockchain often creates a wave of excitement, speculation and rapid token activity. Arc’s mainnet launch has placed the ecosystem under intense attention, but the latest market reaction shows that early enthusiasm does not automatically translate into sustainable demand.
As meme coins connected to the Arc narrative face sharp selling pressure, traders are being reminded of one of the most important rules in crypto: attention can arrive quickly, but liquidity and long

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week's market action, only to have to take it back—it’s a little awkward.
A few days ago in the afternoon, $AAOI 's rebound lacked momentum; every push higher fell just short, with insufficient buying support. I thought it strongly smelled like a bull trap, so I reminded short sellers not to panic—the overhead resistance had not yet been cleared.
From 152.22 to 100.75, +1630.25% secured—feels really good; those on board should have woken up laughing.
Put the bulk into your pocket first, close 80%, and leave 20% protected at the entry

Everyone is long XAG but this 15m RSI screams otherwise.

Trade Plan:
Entry: 65.37 – 65.61

TP1: 64.60
TP2: 64.01

Why this setup?


Debate:
Are we hitting TP2 at 64.01 or getting trapped by a range breakout?

🟢 $LTC LONG
LTC is holding above the $50.20–$50.50 support zone while momentum is recovering. I’d watch for a clean reclaim of $52.90 before entering rather than chasing the current move.
Entry: $52.90–$53.10
TP1: $53.50
TP2: $54.50
TP3: $55.20
SL: $51.90
The setup only makes sense if $52.90 breaks and holds with volume. If it rejects hard there, I’d stay out and wait.
Would you take the breakout or wait for a retest?

The Fed just raised rates to 3.75%–4%, and Trump shouted on Truth Social that U.S. rates should be at 1% or lower, and FAST.
On one side, Warsh led a unanimous rate hike, with the dot plot also indicating another hike could come this year.
On the other, the president directly lowered the target to 1%.
Simply put: This is political pressure, not a rate cut that has already been implemented.
My view: Don’t mistake rhetoric for imminent liquidity injections.
In the short term, continue trading on tightening; don’t use “Trump wants 1%” as a reason to add to positions.
Invalidation condition: The F

Watching the market nonstop got annoying; after turning it off, I could see things more clearly, and with my eyes no longer glued to it, my mind stopped panicking.
During the repeated intraday swings, $COOKIE ’s rebound was weak, and every push upward fell just short. I saw sell orders pressing down layer by layer, with volume failing to follow, so I suggested holding the short position and not rushing to reverse.
Shorting from 0.01111 to 0.01006, with a return of +231.75%, made for a satisfying meal.
I’d rather miss a limit-up than catch a falling knife and end up covered in blood.
Don’t get
