Fed macro

Overall assessment: The current macro environment is bearish
Core: The latest inflation data came in stronger than expected, and the market expects the Fed’s rate cuts to be delayed, while leaving open the possibility of further hikes. U.S. Treasury yields remain elevated, the dollar is strong, and risk assets are under pressure.

✅ Bullish factors:

1. The market expects that there will be no further sustained aggressive rate hikes, with high interest rates nearing their end;
​
2. As long as inflation declines later, expectations for rate cuts will emerge, and the implementation

49 votes to 50, bill rejected, CEO rages, while XRP’s chart plays dead
Unbelievable, $XRP moved just 0.07% in half an hour—49 votes to 50, the CLARITY Act was rejected by the Senate, falling short of the 60-vote threshold, and Ripple’s CEO went off. Muted bearish news does not mean the bottom is in; at this level, I’m only shorting.
Since the event, it has moved from 1.2862 back to 1.2948 (+0.67%). The bearish news was fully priced in before the vote even began—the market simply wasn’t waiting for it.
The sell-off was driven by the chart itself—down 9.26% over 24 hours, with volume expanding

NEAR is trending across the entire internet, but futures funds are pulling out: I’m shorting this sentiment-driven move first
$NEAR 24h -6.8% and still trending—people are entering, but money is leaving. Direction: bearish in the short term; any rebound is a window to reduce positions.

Current price 2.334 (24h range 2.298–2.504), with a volume ratio of only 0.942—attention has not translated into volume; the Fear & Greed Index is at 69, in the greed zone.

Bearish rationale: first, funds are pulling out, with OI down 14.82% versus last week’s record and the long-short ratio at 1.7525; sec

CryptoQuant data shows that Gate ranks among the global Top 3 in spot trading volume, with spot trading volume growing 667% over 30 days, ranking first globally; meanwhile, its contract trading volume growth ranks among the global Top 3

Gold Morning Outlook for September 16
Gold traded in a weak, range-bound pattern yesterday, with prices consolidating narrowly within the $4,320–$4,260 range during the day. The daily chart formed a doji with upper and lower shadows.
On the fundamental side, market expectations for another rate hike this year have risen somewhat. The Federal Reserve will announce its latest rate decision at 2:00 a.m. tomorrow, and market sentiment has become more cautious, narrowing gold’s short-term trading range.
Technically, although gold’s overall decline has slowed over the past two days, the broader tren

Gate's growth rate ranks first globally, and it's not just about one number
Recently, one piece of market data has drawn attention: CryptoQuant data shows that Gate's spot trading volume ranks among the global Top 3, while its 30-day spot growth reached +667%, ranking first globally. Its futures trading volume growth also ranks among the global Top 3.
What's interesting about this data set is that rankings measure current scale, while growth rates measure the direction of change. Once an exchange reaches a certain size, maintaining rapid growth becomes more difficult because the base is alread

$PI I don't believe that a distributed-ledger blockchain network that has been under construction for seven years—or 41 years, so to speak—with people from more than 200 countries around the world participating, numbering in the tens of millions, could fail, could it?! Even an air coin like Shitcoin can succeed; could a useful tool intended to carry out a “revolution” fail? Surely the Lao Si guys won't treat believers as leeks to harvest, will they? “Pi is a revolution” isn't just child's play, is it?

It's time for the hope to euphoria on $Net's next leg now.

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market action, but now I have to take it all back, which is a little awkward. A few days ago, I checked $LAB before bed. It strongly smelled like a bull trap, with clear overhead resistance, so I said not to rush into LAB shorts—any rebound would be an opportunity. Before the market had fully started moving, I said not to chase longs.

0.08529 to 0.04972, +820.93%—that was a satisfying bite. The short was realized, and the timing was right.

Panic comes from having no plan; losses come from overthinking.

Sorry, we failed.
As expected, the CLARITY Act failed to pass, with the final vote ending in a 50 VS 50 tie.
Simply put, the bill would classify cryptocurrencies, determine which fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction and which under the CFTC’s, and establish the rules exchanges must follow to register.
After being dragged out for more than a year, it’s starting to feel a bit like the ETF saga back then.
Promise me: after today’s drop, it can’t drop again tomorrow when the FOMC raises interest rates. 🥹

The market doesn’t explain itself; it only moves, and all you need to do is not make reckless moves. When I opened the chart this morning, $GRVT selling pressure was strong, trading volume was low, and the rebound was weak. I judged that the key resistance level above was still in place and warned short sellers not to recklessly chase longs. Shorted at 0.2933, now at 0.1682, return +839.82%. The sleepless nights weren’t in vain—it feels amazing. Those on board must have woken up laughing. Close 80% first, protect the remaining 20% at the entry price. If the sell-off continues, let the profits

After a false breakout at the highs, I took profits on my $TAO short position in batches. I was watching for an upward push without volume; after stops were swept near the previous high, price pulled back again. With this structure, I’d rather wait for confirmation before shorting.
After entering, the market didn’t move immediately in my favor and instead chopped around for a while. My position wasn’t large, I set the protection level, and waited for it to break below the range’s lower boundary. Only then did the bearish move truly open up, so I took out 80% at +289.4% unrealized profit.

Wait for the rebound to face resistance and stall before entering short positions; do not chase the decline.
If the price holds above the moving average, abandon the short strategy immediately and strictly observe the stop-loss#金价逼近4400美元创七周高点
