BTC, ETH
The direction was set yesterday: the core strategy going forward is to buy the dips. We successfully entered long positions last night and are still holding them.
Interestingly, after the rate hike was implemented, SOL, ZEC, HYPE, BNB and others all moved higher to explore further upside, but BTC and ETH did not follow noticeably, lacking a clear direction.
Fortunately, the short-term negative factors have largely been priced in, and the key support levels have held. Therefore, the room for a downward wick is limited, and the broader direction remains bullish.

#日本央行加息至1.25%创31年新高 #Gate广场中秋团圆局 Bank of Japan may raise rates to 1.25% today, the highest level in 31 years
What happened
Global markets are turning their attention to Japan today. Reuters reported that the Bank of Japan is expected to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% at today’s meeting. If implemented, this would mark the highest level in about 31 years and another important step in the Bank of Japan’s continued exit from its ultra-low interest rate policy.
Why it matters
Japan is no longer the market that stayed near zero interest rates for so long. As rates continue to ris

September 18: Key levels for zec. A choppy upward trend
How should we trade? We previously followed the editor’s long from 1060 to 1500—how should we enter now?
A valid breakout above a key resistance level will turn it into a support zone!
Go long in the support zone at 1350–1380
Go short in the resistance zone at 1520–1550
Use shorts for the short term. Buying on pullbacks is the safest strategy.
After 50 points of profit, close half the position and set the stop-loss at the entry price!

9.18 Erbing Morning Outlook
Pullback to 2465-2480
First target: 2440
Second target: 2400
The current rebound has pushed indicators into a high range, while bullish momentum is gradually weakening and selling pressure is beginning to emerge.
Wait for the price to rebound and face resistance before entering a short position, betting on a decline after the rebound ends.
If the market continues strengthening and breaks through the resistance above, the short thesis is immediately invalidated. Control position size in futures trading, strictly set stop-losses, and do not stubbornly hold

9.18 BTC lightly shorted around 77000, targeting 76000/75000.
Those looking to go long can lightly long around 75200, with defense at 74500 and targets of 76000/77000.
BTC dropped from 80536 all the way to 74909 on the 1H chart and is currently rebounding around 76720. 77000-77500 remains resistance, and before it firmly breaks above that range, I still expect a pullback.
A hawkish Fed + the BoJ decision + conflict breaking out in the Middle East—the news today is more intense than the last, and another accelerated move could come at any time.

On today's 1H chart, the market began a consolidation rebound from the phase low of 2365.00.

I. Market snapshot: after a new high, first see whether the “pullback” is healthy

On the morning of September 18, ZEC briefly broke above $1,500, hitting a new high for this market cycle, before quickly retreating; its 24-hour gain was approximately +8%~+10%. Its current market cap is approximately $22.6 billion (based on CoinGecko data from September 17), keeping it firmly within the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap;

During the 9.14–9.20 period, the market was not optimistic about Ethereum surging to 2700; compared with a deep drop to 2200, the market was more concerned about first testing the 2300 level.
Although the overall probability of falling below 2300 was only 16%, it was already the most-traded scenario among the three, indicating some concern about a pullback, with no overwhelming consensus among bulls.

That's all for this week😊We'll continue next week.

I didn’t make any judgment call; I just held it a little longer. I didn’t expect it to really come through.
While it was bottoming out intraday, the key level held. It formed a base without breaking support, funds quietly entered, and I suggested scaling into long positions in batches at the time.
0.01888 to 0.02123, +306.74%—there’s your answer. Those already on board should have woken up laughing.
Putting risk controls in place beforehand is called being rational; cutting only after taking a loss is called making a decisive sacrifice.
