U.S. AI Concept Stocks Stage Strong Rebound: Chip Stocks Lead, Market Risk Appetite Recovers
Market Overview
On September 17th, U.S. AI concept stocks staged a strong rebound, led by the semiconductor sector, with market sentiment significantly recovering. All three major U.S. stock indices closed higher, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq leading gains. Arm surged 8.57%, Super Micro gained over 9.5%, and Astera Labs rose about 9%. The semiconductor ETF (SOXX) also staged a strong rebound, continuing the "down then up" trend seen this week. The VIX fell to 15.44, indicating th

#BOJHikesTo1.25%31YearHigh
Two of the world's most powerful central banks tightened policy inside 48 hours this week. The Bank of Japan lifted its benchmark rate to 1.25 percent on Friday, 18 September, a 31-year high, two days after the Federal Reserve raised its own rate to 3.75 to 4.00 percent. Here is what it means for crypto, for US stocks, and for the yen funding machine connecting the two.
The Two Decisions
The BOJ raised its benchmark by 25 basis points, from 1.00 percent to 1.25 percent, the highest level since 1995. It is the sixth increase since March 2024, when Japan ended years o

Brent Crude Falls 3%: The Global Market Chain Reaction
A 3% move in Brent crude is never just an oil-market event. Brent sits at the centre of a global chain connecting fuel prices, inflation, Treasury yields, equities, currencies, commodities and crypto.
The latest September 18, 2026 snapshot puts Brent around $103.8-$103.9 per barrel and WTI around $100.9-$101.1. Brent closed near $108.75 on September 15, fell 2.69% to around $105.83 on September 16, and moved lower again toward $104.82 on September 17. Around $103.9 now, Brent is roughly 4.5% below the September 15 close

FOMC Week: The Market Is Preparing for a Hike — But the Real Signal Comes After It
The Federal Reserve meeting on September 16, 2026, is shaping up to be one of the most important macro events for crypto, commodities, equities, and currencies. The headline decision matters, but in my view, the bigger market reaction will come from what the Fed says about the road ahead.
Markets have rapidly moved away from the idea of a simple pause. Current futures pricing points toward a 25-basis-point rate hike, taking the federal funds target range from 3.

#ZECKeepsRisingBreaking1500
Zcash (ZEC) has broken through the $1,500 level and has become one of the strongest large-cap performers in the current crypto market. Around 06:45 UTC on 18 September 2026, ZEC was trading near $1,501, up roughly 10.2% in 24 hours, after reaching a 24-hour high of $1,537.89 and a low of $1,326.56. That is a huge intraday range, showing that this rally is being driven by both strong momentum and aggressive positioning.
Zcash is a privacy-focused blockchain launched in 2016, built from the Bitcoin codebase. Like Bitcoin, it has a maximum supply of 21 million ZEC, pr

Japan's 25-basis-point rate hike has been implemented, but Bitcoin has instead climbed to around 77777.
My 63540 long from yesterday had a stop-loss set before I went to bed—I wanted to sleep soundly, but when I woke up, I found it had actually been triggered. Looking at the current price, it feels pretty bad 😂
It was still grinding sideways this morning, but started moving up once the news came out. This rate hike was already expected. My understanding is that everyone had been bracing for it, and once the news was actually announced without any bigger surprise, the market instead breathed a

We’re about to return to 2500!
This morning, I said in both my article and video that 2440 was a good level to go long, and we’re about to capture nearly 60 points. It can be said that 2500 will be basically impossible to hold.
Why did I dare to go long at 2441 yesterday, go long at 2445 today, and also make a T-trade between 2470 and 2480? This is because rebounds from the bottom of a range are often very strong. In addition, the hourly chart shows a double bottom, and trading volume has been declining during the gradual rise. This is a strong bullish signal. Often, when these technical patte
