Fed Chair Warsh spoke yesterday and gave no clear signal, and the probability of an October rate hike was cut in half.
Warsh spoke yesterday at the IMF and World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok, but didn’t reveal what would happen at the end-of-month rate meeting. CME FedWatch showed the probability of an October rate hike falling from nearly 30% to around 15%, giving the market some relief.
In crypto, BTC briefly fell below $80k on Thursday for the first time in a month, but reclaimed it in less than two hours. It’s now hovering around $81.5k, while ETH is around 2,440.

Let’s see how the Gallic Rooster is dealing with stablecoins!
France proposes a flat 31.4% tax on gains from certain stablecoin swaps—could tax liability arise even if you don’t convert them to euros?
Reports say France’s National Assembly has passed an amendment to a related budget bill that would, starting January 1, 2027, tax gains from exchanging crypto assets for e-money tokens compliant with the MiCA framework, including USDC and EURC.
But note that this is still a proposal pending further review and has not yet become law. Whether USDT will be excluded will also depend on the final bill

Scumbag Watch: BTC Update 10.17
Bitcoin hit a high around 82800 yesterday, then dropped to 80800. The Scumbag’s strategy seems to have been pretty accurate, but after opening a position, the Scumbag felt the entry wasn’t ideal and didn’t continue. Last night, when the price reached around 82500, the Scumbag didn’t open another position either.
I wonder if any fellow Scumbags followed along.
Now let’s see how things go next week. The big bullish candle from 9.18 is currently providing support, and it has held several times already. Of course, we can’t rule out the support failing and the price

BTC REBOUNDS FROM $80K AS NEAR SURGES NEARLY 10% — IS THE ALTCOIN RECOVERY JUST BEGINNING?
The crypto market is showing fresh signs of life after Bitcoin briefly dropped below $80,000 before rebounding above $82,000. As BTC stabilizes, altcoins are attracting renewed buying interest, with NEAR Protocol gaining nearly 10% and other tokens recording impressive recoveries.
But the biggest question remains: Is this the beginning of a genuine market recovery, or just a temporary relief rally?

Hey everyone, did you take advantage of this pullback to build or add to your Bitcoin positions?
Strive added over 7,000 BTC in two weeks, and the race among public companies to stack coins is still accelerating.
TD Cowen raised its price target for Strive (ASST) from $44 to $56. The company’s BTC holdings have grown to 35,595, worth about $2.9 billion based on reported figures, making it the fourth-largest public-company holder—slightly ahead of MARA.
But interestingly, despite the positive news, ASST still fell 6.6% on Friday, closing at $23.96. The share dilution pressure from warrant exerc

French Bitcoin treasury company Capital B released its 2026 half-year report, reporting first-half revenue of €5.846 million, up 3.5% year over year; net losses were approximately €69.5 million, compared with a loss of approximately €1.86 million in the same period last year.

This morning’s market action was nerve-racking🔥. BTC fell straight below 81000, while ETH also tested the 2400 level. Altcoins were dragged down across the board, with SOL, XRP, and others all falling.
According to Coinglass data, there were 157 million in liquidations across the market over the past 4 hours, with the vast majority being long positions getting wiped out. Bulls took a major hit. There’s significant macro pressure: Brent crude surged to 112 dollars, reviving inflation concerns, and the S&P 500 fell more than 1%. Strategy’s stock plunged nearly 10%.

Altcoins Are an Undead Army. They Only Move When $BTC Feels Something. 🧟
BTC chops between $80K and $82K. Alts twitch with it. No independent bid. No independent sell. They rise when BTC sniffs higher. They fall the second BTC loses a level. Classic beta. No narrative strong enough to break the chain.
The Setup:
Until BTC closes outside the range, most alts stay dead weight. The ones that hold relative strength while BTC chops are the only ones worth watching. Everything else is just following the leader’s mood.

$ZIL Down 29% in a day, at 0.0024, with 24h trading volume still at 35.3M—this isn’t retail panic selling; it’s whales rotating positions. BTC is range-bound while the Fed talks tough, and small-cap tokens are getting drained first. ZIL has fallen three times harder than the broader market this round. I watched the on-chain data all night: selling pressure was concentrated during the Asian session, while during the US and European sessions, some addresses were placing buy orders in the 0.0023–0.0025 range to accumulate.
Fundamentally, Zilliqa hasn’t caught any of the hot narratives this round.

BTC is hovering around 82,000, with the 50-day EMA at 80,443 serving as the short-term lifeline. Unless it breaks above 85,000, the range-bound movement will persist; ETH is stuck at 2,435, capped by the 50-day EMA at 2,493. Unless it gets above that level, it will remain in weak consolidation.
$SNDK ’s rebound looks more like bait for bulls; the bearish structure has not truly ended, and overhead selling pressure is clear. 1,400–1,446 is a strong resistance zone, while 1,272–1,302 is the bears’ next target. Until resistance is reclaimed on strong volume, any bounce should be treated primarily
