Rate Hike and CLARITY Roadblock: Why Did Bitcoin Rise Instead of Fall Amid the Double Negative Factors?

In September 2026, the crypto market experienced a textbook case of inverse pricing.
Amid the double shock of the Federal Reserve announcing its first 25-basis-point rate hike since July 2023 and the U.S. Senate rejecting the procedural motion for the CLARITY Act by 49 votes to 50, Bitcoin not only held above the key support level of 76,000 USD but instead launched a short squeeze rally on September 18, gaining approximately 6% and climbing back above 81,000 USD. As of September 20, 2026, based on Gate market data, BTC was fluctuating within a narrow range around 81,000 USD, with an intraday price range of approximately 81,088 USD to 81,156 USD.
This was not a simple oversold rebound. Rising interest rates pushed up risk-free yields, and by traditional estimates,

Revolut has begun making its own euro stablecoin available to some customers in three countries.
EURR is being launched with Bridge as the regulated issuer, initially rolling out to selected customers. Whether it can scale up will depend on local compliance arrangements and how quickly clearing channels are established.
The euro stablecoin sector has long been overshadowed by dollar-denominated products. Demand for euro-denominated products is real, but the market has never managed to gain substantial traction. For issuers, the barrier is not technology, but getting merchants and institutions

Smart people will notice that when many past shitcoins experienced massive liquidation amounts within just a few minutes, it was often followed by a price reversal.
In particular, when short liquidations exceeded $40 million within one hour, historical experience suggests there was a high possibility of a reversal—the larger the amount, the more effective the signal.
Therefore, the group chat will soon add liquidation alerts, broadcasting the liquidation amounts for all tokens over the past hour as a reference for everyone, helping improve our followers’ trading win rates. Of course, this is a

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market, but now I have to take it all back. A little awkward.
A few days ago, during that afternoon pullback, I saw $ONE hold steady and buying pressure strengthen, so I signaled that long positions could be followed around 0.000713. From 0.000713 to 0.003847, +8647.28%—those on board must have woken up laughing.
Don’t let profits inflate, and don’t despair over drawdowns. Managing risk upfront is called rationality; cutting losses only after losing is called cutting off one’s arm to save the body.

Watching the charts has gotten annoying; once I turned them off, I could actually see things more clearly. With my eyes off the screen, my heart stopped panicking too.
A few days ago, I took a look at $COOKIE before bed. The overhead resistance was obvious, and every push upward fell just short. Selling pressure was strong, so I suggested shorting at the top.
0.01111 to 0.01064, +99.32% says it all. It was really sluggish at first, but once it played out, it felt great.

Everyone is sleeping on HYPE but the daily trend just flipped bullish.

$HYPE /USDT - LONG

Trade Plan:
Entry: 90.582 – 91.026
SL: 88.675
TP1: 92.401
TP2: 93.465
TP3: 95.062

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is clearly bullish, giving the long setup a strong macro tailwind. The 1h ATR sits at 0.88707, showing volatility is expanding enough to fuel a real move. The 15m RSI reads 46.94, meaning momentum has cooled just enough to allow a fresh entry without being overextended. The entry zone between 90.582 and 91.026 aligns perfectly with the 1h price of 90.804, offering a precise trig

$B2 This -39% massive bearish candle—I’m coming clean. This is the “dimensionality-reduction attack chart” we market makers love to draw.
Don’t rush to curse me. Let me walk you through how we played these 24 hours from a market maker’s perspective. Yesterday’s high was 0.9130, today’s low was 0.3722, and trading volume was 250 million. That sharp drop in the morning—you thought it was whales dumping? We deliberately pulled buy orders around 0.8, letting panic sellers trigger a cascade themselves. Between 0.55 and 0.48, I placed a full 30 million in buy orders. All the bloodied tokens retail i

$ZRO Current price 1.067, with the first resistance above at 1.103 and key support below at 1.049. How these two levels were derived is more important than the conclusion.
First, the trend structure: MA5=1.0684 has fallen below MA20=1.1033, and the short-term moving averages are bearishly aligned, indicating that the average cost of the past 5 candlesticks is now below that of the past 20. Buyers from the earlier period are generally sitting on unrealized losses, so rebounds will encounter selling pressure from those looking to break even. This is the first lesson in judging whether a trend i

The Greed Index is still at 71, so why has $ZEC fallen harder than the broader market?
The answer lies in the divergence between sentiment and price: the Fear & Greed Index remains in the greed zone at 71, but BTC has stagnated at high levels, and funds have begun to withdraw from high-volatility assets. $ZEC 24h fell 6.54%, clearly underperforming $SO at -3.31%, constituting a passive catch-up decline amid sector rotation.
Technically, $ZEC's current price of 1438.57 has fallen below MA5=1440.77 and MA20=1463.34, with the moving averages in a bearish alignment; RSI=31.9 is approaching oversol
