#BOJHikesTo1.25%31YearHigh 🇯🇵 BOJ Raises Interest Rate to 1.25% — 31-Year High
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25%, marking the highest level in 31 years. The decision was approved by a 7–2 vote and represents another step away from Japan’s long period of ultra-low interest rates.
The BOJ said it is increasingly focused on the risk of inflation overshooting its 2% target. Governor Kazuo Ueda also left the door open to additional rate increases, depending on inflation and economic conditions.
Interestingly, the yen weakened after the decision despite the rate hi

With the funding rate this deeply negative, have $ZIL 's shorts already reached the edge of the cliff?
The answer is fairly clear: shorts are paying, longs are collecting, and the balance in this round of the long-short battle is tilting toward the longs. $ZIL is currently at 0.003822, up 21.99% over 24h, yet the funding rate is -0.1187%, meaning short sellers must continuously pay longs holding positions—the price is rising while the funding rate is negative, a typical signal of crowded shorts. Once a short squeeze starts, the probability of an upward wick sweeping stop-losses is far greater

Ethereum is showing an interesting setup.
After a strong move higher, ETH is now facing some selling pressure near the recent highs.
The structure still looks constructive, but this is where confirmation matters.
I’m watching how price reacts around the current zone before considering the next move.
Let ETH show the direction.
Don’t chase the candle.

Ethereum Spot ETFs See $144M Net Inflow
U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs recorded approximately $143.8 million in net inflows on September 18, ending a three-day streak of net outflows. BlackRock’s ETHA led the move with $114.32 million, while Fidelity’s FETH attracted $26.24 million.

#JapanRealEstatePowerChipStocksRise
Japan’s stock market continues to attract attention as investors focus on two important themes: real estate and semiconductor-related companies.
Recent trading has shown strong interest in Japanese chip and AI-related stocks. Semiconductor names such as Advantest, Tokyo Electron and Kioxia have been among the companies drawing significant buying interest, reflecting the continued global focus on AI infrastructure, advanced computing and memory demand.
The semiconductor story is particularly important for Japan because the country remains a major part of the

#StandardCharteredSeesARBAt10By2030
ARB just got one of the most aggressive long-term calls in the market.
Standard Chartered has initiated coverage on Arbitrum and set a $10 target for the end of 2030. At the time of the report, ARB was around $0.13–$0.14, so the bank's target represented roughly 70x from that level. The bank's path was $0.50 for 2026, $1.50 for 2027, $3.50 for 2028, $6.50 for 2029 and $10 by 2030.
But I don't look at a 70x target and immediately think “ARB is going to $10.”
I look at what has to happen for that valuation to make sense.
And this is where the Arbitrum story b

$SKL The first resistance above is at 0.00507 (Bollinger upper band), while support below is at 0.00465 (MA5). The current price is 0.00473, trading near support. The Fear and Greed Index is 71, placing the market in the greed zone. If BTC maintains strength, funds tend to flow into high-beta catch-up assets, and SKL's 24h gain of +18.55% is a product of this logic.
Technically: MA5 at 0.004654 has crossed above MA20 at 0.0043295, forming a bullish short-term moving average alignment; RSI at 61 has not reached overbought levels, leaving room for further upside; the MACD histogram at +2.61e-05

Many people reflexively short when they see a negative funding rate, but this is a typical misconception—the negative rate actually means shorts are paying to hold their positions, while longs are being subsidized.
$SK The current price is 0.00478, up 19.80% over 24h, yet the funding rate is -0.1054%, making this a very rare combination. As the price rises, shorts continue paying fees, indicating that shorts are stubbornly holding on while longs are not overcrowded. On the moving-average side, MA5=0.004664 has crossed above MA20=0.004332, confirming a bullish alignment; the MACD histogram is p

Nobody is talking about this XRP setup, and the 1h RSI just confirmed it.

Trade Plan:

SL: 1.4176
TP1: 1.3509
TP2: 1.3318
TP3: 1.3032

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is range-bound, which means XRP is coiling for a directional move and the 1h ATR of 0.015889 shows the recent volatility is compressing right where the 1h price sits at 1.3795. The 15m RSI at 38.44 signals weakening momentum without being oversold yet, giving us a clean entry zone between 1.3755 and 1.3835 to short. The first target sits at 1.3509, and a break of that opens t

#StandardCharteredSeesARBAt10By2030
A major long-term crypto forecast has put Arbitrum back in the spotlight.
Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Arbitrum's ARB token and set a reported price target of $10 by the end of 2030. The bank's forecast also outlines a year-by-year path of $0.50 for 2026, $1.50 for 2027, $3.50 for 2028, $6.50 for 2029, and $10 for 2030.
The forecast is attracting attention because the thesis goes beyond short-term crypto speculation.
Standard Chartered's digital-assets research points toward a much larger trend: the increasing use of blockchain infrastructur
