【FOMC Tonight: What Really Matters Is What Warsh Says】
At the Fed’s rate decision in the early hours, BTC’s volatility tonight is unlikely to be small.
But when trading, you can’t just focus on one line:
“Rate hikes = down, rate cuts = up.”
The market is no longer trading just the outcome,
but whether the outcome exceeds expectations.
Focus on three things tonight:
① The rate decision
Whether the result matches market expectations.
② Warsh’s remarks
Especially his views on inflation, oil prices, and the future rate path.
③ BTC’s market reaction
This is the most important part.

Gold has continued to consolidate amid recent fluctuations, with market volatility narrowing as funds await tonight’s major Federal Reserve event. At 02:00, the FOMC interest rate decision and Summary of Economic Projections will be released, followed half an hour later by the Chair’s press conference. Both events are five-star highlights and will directly influence the short-term direction of precious metals.
Gold prices are currently in a key battleground range, while previous price swings have already priced in some policy expectations. The market is closely watching changes in the wording

#CLARITYAct Vote Falls Short — What Does It Mean for Crypto?
The U.S. Senate’s latest procedural vote on the CLARITY Act failed to reach the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation at this stage. The immediate reaction was visible in the crypto market, with Bitcoin facing selling pressure as traders reassessed the regulatory outlook.
But there is an important distinction here: a failed procedural vote is not the same thing as the legislation being permanently abandoned.
The result creates another layer of uncertainty around U.S. crypto regulation, while negotiation

People with children at home really need to be especially careful when asking relatives or friends to help care for them!
Nicole Wierzbi is a 31-year-old psychology PhD student.
She had previously visited a friend in Pennsylvania and gone to see the friend’s twin baby boys, who were just over a month old.
Unexpectedly, that visit turned into a tragedy.
One day, while Nicole was changing one of the babies’ diapers, she deliberately scratched the baby’s private area, causing the child to bleed.
But she did not tell the parents what had happened. Instead, she told them that the baby had suddenly

#美联储即将公布利率决定 Early-morning Fed rate decision: An ultimate outlook for gold’s trajectory
The highly anticipated September Fed rate decision will officially be announced at 02:00 Beijing time tomorrow (September 17), along with the rate decision, the latest economic projections, and the dot plot. At 02:30, the Fed chair’s policy press conference will begin. This rate meeting is the core direction indicator for global financial markets this week, directly determining gold’s short-term rise-and-fall rhythm and completely breaking the recent range-bound pattern.

The September FOMC decision will be announced at 2 a.m. Beijing time on Thursday. Against the backdrop of U.S. PPI and CPI both coming in above expectations last week and oil prices breaking above $100, the market has already written a predetermined script for this meeting—an interest-rate hike: FedWatch puts the probability of a hike as high as 92%, and even Goldman Sachs, which had previously insisted that there would be no hike, has changed its stance and acknowledged that a hike is imminent.

$ETH ETH / USD (4-Hour Chart)
I am mapping out a strong bullish macro scenario for Ethereum following a short-term downside manipulation.
I expect the price to first face rejection from the minor resistance and make a push downwards. This drop will serve to sweep the sell-side liquidity resting below the relative equal lows marked with "$$$".
After purging this liquidity, I anticipate the price to tap into the lower major demand block and undergo an accumulation phase, as illustrated by the yellow path. Once buyers step in and build a base around this zone, I foresee a strong bullish reversal

AKE at $0.029—would you dare chase it?
Look at the surface first: surging against the trend, with retail FOMO at an extreme.
BTC is facing resistance at $75,000, the CLARITY Act has made no progress, and U.S. Treasury yields are rising—but AKE has still surged from $0.015 to $0.029, with a 24-hour high of $0.0293 and trading volume exploding to nearly $100 million. The parabolic rise, surging volume, soaring OI, and positive funding rates all point to long-side overcrowding. A pullback could be triggered at any time.
First: Is OK's perpetual launch bullish, or an “exit liquidity channel”?

#每周来晒 #美联储加息会议 Fed Decision Night: The 25-Bps Move Is Priced The Real Repricing Starts After It
September 16 is not simply another Federal Reserve meeting. It is a test of whether global markets are prepared for another phase of tighter financial conditions. The market is already pricing roughly a 92.4% probability of at least a 25-basis-point hike, which would put the federal-funds target range around 3.75%–4.00%. Goldman Sachs also expects a 25bp increase and currently does not expect the Fed to immediately signal additional hikes. That means the rate decision itself may produce less informa

The market is already highly pricing in a 25bp rate hike
So what really determines BTC’s subsequent direction is whether the Fed will continue hiking after this rate hike
There are three possible scenarios:
Rate hike + dovish remarks
If the dollar and yields retreat, BTC will see a clear relief rally as the bearish news is priced in
Rate hike + neutral remarks
bitcoin:native will first sweep liquidity in both directions, with 75K at the bottom and 78K at the top becoming key levels for bulls and bears
Rate hike + hawkish remarks
The Fed signals further rate hikes, while the 10Y yield remains a

Damn, DeFi can’t even outperform Treasuries—why would anyone put money in?
DeFi pools take on more risk, yet in the end they can’t even outperform 2-year U.S. Treasuries.
Aave’s USDT and USDC, and Sky’s sUSDS, mostly yield just over 3%, while Treasuries offer 4%+.
How do we solve this?

Zcash vote passes: halving mechanism retained, block time reduced to 25 seconds.
The ZEC community has completed its governance vote, deciding not to abandon Bitcoin-style halving issuance, while shortening block times to 25 seconds—the same issuance curve will be completed across more frequent blocks.
The chart shows ZEC’s performance over the past 72 hours (Gate spot), up approximately 11% over the past three days. How long the technical narrative can hold ultimately depends on actual selling pressure after the halving and on-chain activity; in the short term, pricing is driven more by senti
