I had already complained to my friends about this week's market, but now I have to take it back—kind of awkward. While it was grinding out a bottom intraday, $ACE 's rebounds lacked momentum every time they pushed higher; volume failed to follow, and sell orders were still pressing overhead.
I warned at the time: don't be fooled by the rebound. Support was insufficient, so the short position could be held. While others were still waiting for a breakout, I was watching the overhead resistance first.
Later, it was pushed down from 0.1748 to 0.1523, securing +315.64%. The wait wasn't in vain.

A month ago, ZEC was still at 500; now it has tripled, with no end in sight. I hear many whales’ liquidation prices are 1630-1700—just thinking about it is terrifying.

Making money is what really matters

The market broadly underwent a high-level consolidation and adjustment this week.
During the period, two separate news developments affected the short-term trend, so from the candlestick perspective, the market broke upward twice in succession, but neither move ultimately formed a sustained continuation.
After the rate hike news was announced yesterday, the market found support as a 4H low signal appeared. However, after a day of rebound, BTC still failed to reclaim 7.7, so for now this can only be viewed as a rebound, and it is not yet possible to confirm that a reversal has been complete

$TAO Current price: 236.6. The first resistance above is the Bollinger upper band at 235.89, while 234.2 (MA5) is the retest confirmation level after the breakout; support below is 229.8 (MA20). Compared horizontally with the concurrently active $TRUMP
and $BTC
, TAO’s relative strength is clearly superior: its 24h gain of +5.91% far exceeds TRUMP’s +3.31% and BTC’s +0.61%, while its trading volume of 18.0M USDT is higher than TRUMP’s 12.4M, indicating more substantial capital participation. Technically, MA5=234.2 crossing above MA20=229.805 has formed a bullish alignment, and the MACD histo

Everyone is watching the Fed and U.S. Treasuries, but the real pricing power today lies with the Bank of Japan.
Japan will most likely raise rates by 25 bps to 1.25% today, and all the market noise is: “Rate hike = stronger yen = carry trade ends = bull market peaks.”
I take the completely opposite view: this rate hike is not the end, but the clearing of uncertainty and confirmation of a bull-market continuation.
First, let’s look at the interest-rate differential:
The U.S. benchmark rate is 3.75%-4%, while Japan’s rate will be 1.25% after the hike, leaving a spread of more than 2.5 percentage

I haven’t posted an update in a long time, so I’ll post one.

After reclaiming support, $DOG is showing increasingly strong signs of continuation. Buyers are returning with conviction, the structure is improving, and momentum is beginning to build. Broader DeFi sentiment from $SNX could provide additional strength and help turn this recovery into a larger sector move.

CFTC has opened a door for “passive software”—don’t mistake “the wallet can connect to perpetuals” for blanket approval.
On September 17, the CFTC issued Staff Letter 26-25.
It expanded the no-action letter granted only to Phantom in March to eligible passive software providers.
Simply put: you provide a “pipe” that displays market data and routes orders to registered FCMs/DCMs.
If you don’t custody assets, provide trading signals, or decide routing yourself, you may not need to register as an IB.
My view: this is a statement that “software ≠ intermediary,” which is better than empty talk abou
