Why is $ZEC /USDT being shorted when the daily trend is still bullish?

$ZEC /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 1342.93 – 1363.01
SL: 1478.31
TP1: 1258.96
TP2: 1196.29
TP3: 1102.29

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h bias is short with 84 percent confidence, so we are fading the daily trend. The 1h price is 1352.74, which sits just below the entry zone high of 1363.01, meaning the rejection is already forming. The 15m RSI at 54.12 shows the asset is not overbought yet, allowing room for a sharp move down. The 1h ATR of 40.173483 tells us the average hourly range, so a break of the entry low 134

Thoughts on #DASH:
$DASH has broken above a key horizontal resistance zone with a strong move, showing good bullish momentum. Now, a retest of that breakout zone could give us a potential long entry, especially if $DASH holds the zone as new support.

The shoe has dropped.
At Beijing time on September 17, the Federal Reserve announced that it was raising the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%—4.00%, marking the first rate hike since July 2023. The decision was unanimously approved by the FOMC.
But what is truly worth watching may not be these 25 basis points, but the signal sent by the Federal Reserve:
After the rate-cutting cycle, expectations of further tightening are returning to the market.

$XAU /USDT — Gold Bulls Are Fighting Back
$XAUT is trading around $4,301.1, down 0.69%, after rebounding from the $4,263.2 chart low. On the 15m chart, buyers are rebuilding momentum, with immediate resistance at $4,313.4–$4,318.4. A clean breakout could open the path toward the $4,365.9 24h high. Key support sits around $4,290.8, then $4,277 and $4,263.2. Market data also keeps XAUT closely aligned with spot gold, which is trading near $4,295 today. Watch volume around $4,318: a strong reclaim strengthens the bullish setup, while rejection keeps XAUT range-bound. $NVDA ‌$NAS100 ‌

The Fed’s first rate hike in three years: what is truly worth watching is not these 25 basis points, but that the market’s familiar rate-cut logic may have already broken down.
This rate hike brings the target range to 3.75%–4.00%, passing unanimously with all 12 votes. The dot plot was even more hawkish: 16 of the 18 officials expect at least one more rate hike this year. This shows that it is not simply a matter of “making a minor correction,” but rather a message to the market that as long as inflation cannot be brought down, high interest rates will persist.
The market’s reaction was also

These aren't the same story but they rhyme. Oracle is restructuring around AI-driven infrastructure. Adidas is consolidating global tech operations. The pink slips land the same way regardless of the reason.
AI is part of this but it's not the whole thing, cost pressure, offshoring reversals, and post-pandemic overhiring are all unwinding at once. The AI narrative is just the cleanest explanation executives can give without sounding like they m

Arc’s first 24 hours are already showing two completely different stories: the network itself is attracting real activity, while several early ecosystem tokens are experiencing extreme price discovery.

Nobel invented dynamite. Most of his wealth came from it.
It is said that in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published his obituary under the headline “The Merchant of Death Is Dead.” He read his own obituary, and a few years later drafted his will.
Today, no one calls him the Merchant of Death anymore.
“Nobel” became a neutral noun, like “volt” and “watt,” without emotional overtones, simply a unit. He gave his money to “those who have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” The money returned to humanity, and his name returned to neutrality

After $ENA surged to 0.1497, 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 0.14090 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, the price pulls back on lower volume and holds the upper boundary, that would be the new entry logic; if it only spikes above and then falls back, it co

How should one operate after the rate hike?
A 25-basis-point rate hike was fully in line with expectations and did not cause even the slightest ripple. Moreover, the upper range was not broken, and price is still at the bottom of the central range, so rushing to short would be betting on a certain decline and is definitely inadvisable.
After ETH successfully defended 2360 for the first time, yesterday marked the third test, and it still failed to break through. During the current rebound, it will retest the resistance above 2500, while volume is currently declining as price rises. Therefore, t

I didn’t catch the entire move down: I didn’t chase the first breakdown and only entered after waiting for a pullback confirmation. $XRP bounced to the trendline but couldn’t move higher. XRP’s bearish divergence is obvious, and volume hasn’t followed through either—chasing longs is just giving money away.
Structurally, the trendline resistance is holding, the key level for the rebound has been lowered, the key level has shifted down, and a descending channel is in place. The moving averages above are bearishly aligned, while the prior low below is the short-term key level. A high-volume break
