Key levels:
🎯 $1,414 — next resistance
🟢 $1,257 — key support
🟢 $1,200–$1,250 — breakout zone
Hold the breakout → continuation remains possible.

#16FedOfficialsExpectAnotherHikeThisYear Fed Officials Expect Another Rate Hike This Year. What Could This Mean for Crypto and Global Markets?
The Federal Reserve remains at the center of attention as investors analyze the latest signals from policymakers. According to recent reports, 16 Fed officials expect another interest rate hike this year, raising important questions about the future direction of financial markets.
For crypto traders, this development could have significant implications. Interest rates play an important role in shaping investor sentiment, liquidity conditions, and risk

It is reported that Apple is building a server packed with M-series Ultra chips, planned to debut in 2029. If true, this would be Apple’s first enterprise-oriented server in decades.
Apple has always focused on the narrative of edge computing power. Now, building its own servers indicates two things: edge devices can no longer accommodate increasingly large models, and Apple is unwilling to hand over critical computing power to others.
If this path succeeds, it will reshape the procurement structure for AI computing power—from “competing for GPUs” to “self-developed + self-use.”

SEC TO PUSH CRYPTO RULES WITHOUT CLARITY ACT!
SEC Chair Paul Atkins confirmed—whether the CLARITY Act stalls or not, the agency will move forward with crypto regulation.
Despite Congress's deadlock, the SEC will bring clear rules under existing laws.

🟢 $XRP LONG SETUP
XRP is holding around $1.30 after the recent selloff and has started showing signs of short covering. Open interest has also dropped sharply as leverage was flushed out.
Entry: $1.295–$1.315
TP1: $1.340
TP2: $1.400
TP3: $1.490
SL: $1.265
Key level: $1.33
A clean reclaim and hold above $1.33 could strengthen the recovery setup. Lose $1.265 and I’d step aside.

🇮🇳 BREAKING: India just bought a record $15.2 billion in US Treasuries in July and the full picture is bigger than that one number.
- July Treasury purchases: $15.2 billion, a record, up sharply from $3.39 billion in June
- Treasury holdings now at a 10 month high
- Tied to a special RBI scheme that pulled in $136.3 billion in foreign currency between June and August
- Inflows came mostly through NRI deposits
- India's own FX reserves hit a record $785.7 billion in the same window
None of these numbers exist in isolation. The Treasury buying, the reserve record, and the deposit scheme are on

I don't dare say anything now, afraid it will go back down as soon as I do, so I'll just quietly watch. During the repeated intraday swings, $LAB has been weak on every push higher, with insufficient support and low trading volume. If you don't short this kind of setup, what else would you short?

From 0.08529 to 0.05163, +777.76% has already given the answer. Those who are on board should be laughing in their sleep.

Close 80% first. Protect the remaining 20% at the cost basis, let the profits run, and don't give them back on a rebound.

Hold as long as the trend remains intact; run if it

$ai what happens next?

After $HYPE surged to 79.906, I instead took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish, but this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, making it less cost-effective to keep chasing. The move up from 79.415 formed a breakout-pullback-breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. If, after breaking through, price pulls back on declining volume and holds the upper boundary, that would be the new entry setup; if it simply pushes above and then falls back, i

The previous high was not broken, so the $XLM short thesis remains intact. This move faced resistance above 0.19333, and I took profit around 0.1813, locking in a +441.15% gain. The remaining position is being managed with a protective stop.
The previous high failed to be reclaimed on two rebound attempts, and the moving averages shifted from flattening to pressing downward. The price also failed to reclaim the middle Bollinger Band after breaking below it. The rebound came on declining volume, indicating that the bulls have not regained the initiative. The volume-price relationship is weak, w

After $USELESS surged to 0.27339, I took 70% off first. It’s not that I’m bearish; this level is right at the key prior-high resistance, so chasing further offers a worse risk-reward ratio. The move up from 0.20207 formed a breakout, pullback, and second breakout structure, with each pullback holding at a higher key level and volume expanding on the breakouts.

The key levels are clear now: the prior high is the first key level. If, after breaking out, the price pulls back on declining volume and holds the upper boundary, that would be the new entry logic; if it merely spikes above and falls

🚨 Breaking news: Pi Network Testnet 1 has officially upgraded from v27 to v28! 🚀
Although the mainnet and Testnet 2 remain at v26, this move shows that the core team is accelerating development, moving beyond the established roadmap. 🔥
What does this mean for Pioneers? A faster path to full ecosystem functionality? Or just another testnet milestone? 🤔
We hope Testnet 2 and the mainnet catch up soon. The future is loading. ⏳

【$APT Signal】Long + 1H breakout/4H MACD expansion
$APT 1H RSI 65.85, 4H MACD histogram turning positive and expanding, with the price at 0.5727 just below the 1H Bollinger upper band at 0.5869. Trading above the 4H EMA20 at 0.5651, while the EMA50 at 0.5826 is still capping the upside. Order book depth is -8.18%, with thicker sell-side orders; only if bids hold around 0.570982 will there be room for a push higher. OI is stable, and the funding rate is 0.0100%, indicating long positions are not overheated. The risk-reward ratio is 1.50, with the stop loss at 0.566973, approximately 1% from entr

After CLARITY stalled, CFTC Chair Selig came right out and said: it will issue crypto rules even under its existing authority.
He posted a statement on X: the Senate vote was unfortunate, but the CFTC is locked in and ready to ship. That same day, SEC Chair Atkins also said: whether or not legislation passes, the SEC will act decisively within its existing authority.
The next hard milestone: the comment period for the SEC’s “Regulation Crypto Assets” closes on October 20. Simply put: Congress is stuck writing the law, so regulators are switching to administrative rulemaking.
My view: don’t tre

$ZEC is moving fast, up 11.75% around $1,356.
This is strong momentum, but after such a sharp move, chasing becomes risky. I’d rather watch for consolidation and see whether buyers defend the breakout area.
🔥 Momentum: strong
🎯 Setup: continuation after retest
⚠️ Sharp rejection = profit-taking risk.
