FED DECISION: HIGHER FOR LONGER IS BACK. 🇺🇸
1️⃣ Fed hikes rates by 25 BPS — first hike since July 2023
2️⃣ 12–0 unanimous decision
3️⃣ Fed says the move supports a “timelier” return to 2% inflation
4️⃣ Median forecast points to ONE MORE 25 BPS HIKE IN 2026
5️⃣ Job gains remain strong; unemployment has “changed little”
6️⃣ Fed: “The Committee will deliver price stability.”

On the one-hour chart, the price has rebounded from low levels. After finding support at the lower Bollinger Band, it is testing the middle band, representing a secondary rebound and oversold recovery within a downtrend, not a trend reversal.
The Fed’s interest rate decision has been released, with the outcome in line with expectations. The market had priced in the bearish news in advance, driving the rebound. On a larger timeframe, the market structure remains weak, while the upper Bollinger Band presents strong short-term resistance. Selling pressure will be concentrated as the rebound reach

FOMC SEPTEMBER 2026 - THE HIKE IS DONE, THE REAL REPRICING IS JUST STARTING
The Federal Reserve has moved. A 25 bps increase, unanimous 12 to 0, the first hike in more than three years. The Fed reaffirmed the 2 percent PCE objective and left the door open for another 25 bps move in 2026. The language from Chair Kevin Warsh was deliberately firm. The economy is getting stronger, financial conditions are not restrictive enough yet, and the Committee needs more confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent.
That means the decision you saw on the headline is only chapter one. Fo

【Key Takeaways from the Fed FOMC Statement and Warsh Press Conference】
FOMC statement:
1. Statement overview: The Fed unanimously approved a 25-basis-point rate hike to a range of 3.75%—4%, marking the first rate hike since July 2023.
2. Economic outlook: Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace. Although uncertainty remains elevated, partly due to geopolitical conditions, domestic spending remains resilient. Productivity growth is strong, and capital investment is solid. Employment growth is keeping pace with the expansion of the labor force, while the unemployment rate has changed litt

Last night’s move was entirely expected. I also mentioned during yesterday’s livestream that it was a combination of macro events and technical-level shakeout. Before the announcement, the market had already priced in a rate-hike probability as high as 92%, so it did not trigger panic. Large funds had already started seeking safety well in advance. Last night, the market formed precise long upper and lower wicks at key levels. I’ve said before that this kind of data-driven market action is most likely to trigger such wicks, much like the previous CPI release. I did not place any trades immedia

#ArcEcosystemAndMemeCoinsPlunge Arc Ecosystem & Meme Coins Plunge
The newly launched Arc ecosystem is seeing a sharp pullback across several popular platform and meme tokens. According to market data reported on September 17, ARGUS fell more than 40%, LONG dropped over 70%, TOLLY declined more than 56%, while meme coins COOL and ARCAT fell over 75% and 64% respectively over 12 hours.
This follows the strong speculative activity surrounding Arc’s mainnet launch. Earlier, tokens such as LONG, TOLLY, ARGUS and COOL had already experienced major retracements after reaching early peaks.
The move h

I shorted here not because I’m bearish, but because the longs failed to hold.
$SOL failed to break effectively above 101.21 several times earlier. The upper Bollinger Band flattened, and after the price clung to the upper band for two days, it pulled back, signaling that upside momentum had run out. I entered the short on the rebound near the middle band, with more downside room than upside. After breaking below the previous low, that low became the new key level. The price pulled back to test it but failed to reclaim it, reinforcing the bearish structure.
A +199.3% unrealized gain isn’t exagg

$BNB is trading around $725.50, up 2.30%. The move is positive but measured, suggesting steady buying rather than an aggressive spike. Holding the current area would keep the short-term bullish momentum intact.

#MemeTokensPullBackAcrossChain Meme Tokens Pull Back Across Chains, But The Story Is Not Over
Meme tokens are once again showing how quickly sentiment can change across the crypto market. After periods of strong speculation and aggressive buying, meme assets across multiple chains are experiencing a pullback, reminding traders that momentum can disappear just as quickly as it appears.
The important point is that a pullback does not automatically mean the entire meme market trend has ended. Meme tokens are driven heavily by liquidity, attention, community activity, listings, narratives, and sho

☀️ 9/17 Zuozuo Morning Brief
Macro/Current Affairs | The Fed raised rates by 25 bps to 3.75%–4.00% and hinted at the possibility of another hike this year; the 10-year Treasury yield briefly reached 5.003%, and the dollar strengthened. The real pressure is not this 25 bps hike, but the repricing of rate-cut expectations.
U.S. Stocks | Dow -1.21%, S&P 500 -0.45%, Nasdaq -0.01%; technology stocks held up, but market breadth was weak.

$ZEC 🔥ZEC whale’s short position was completely wiped out!
Before the interest rate decision, this whale opened a $10 million short on ZEC with 10x leverage. Just three hours later, the market surged, liquidating the entire position and causing a loss of nearly $900,000. This is clearly a short-trap market, so don’t open shorts recklessly. The next target could reach 1500.⬇️

$XAUUSD Cut losses on the short position; just exited the long position and am preparing to enter another long. Please exit around 4330.

$LSK and $ONE both announced chain shutdowns + Ethereum migration this week. Same news type, opposite results.
LSK: +700% in 24h ($0.20→$2.37), $41M+ shorts liquidated — but it's a leverage-driven short squeeze, not fundamentals.
ONE: price dropped instead, because a $3T+ exploit in August already broke trust before the migration news landed.
Lesson: "shutdown = bullish" is a myth. Check liquidity depth + trust history before you react to the headline.

9.17 Market Analysis
ETH Strategy Reference Setup
Short the rebound around 2440--2460
Stop-loss: 2480
First target: 2400, second target: 2320
The four-hour timeframe is in a high-level consolidation phase following an advance, with MACD bullish momentum gradually weakening. There is no momentum for a one-sided move in the short term, and the market is generally maintaining a range-bound pattern. Avoid blindly chasing trades and wait for the market to clarify its direction.
Market volatility is intense, so be sure to manage risk and strictly use stop-losses. #Gate广场中秋团圆局 #CLARITY法案未获通过 $BTC $ET
