$ETH
Last night, the most exciting thing about Ethereum's market wasn't how much it rose, but how many people just sold out.
Earlier, with the Fed raising interest rates and the CLARITY Act facing obstacles, market sentiment cooled down all the way.
People in the group started shouting:
"Ethereum is done."
"It can't even hold 2600."
"Go short, wait for it to keep crashing."
At that moment, many felt they finally understood the market.
But the market likes to stir things up at times like this.
Ethereum then bounced back near $2600, forcing shorts to stop loss, and sentiment slowly shifted from panic to regret.
The worst feeling isn't the drop, but that you just sold and it starts to rise.
But I think what’s really worth pondering this time isn’t this single candlestick.
On September 17, the US SEC launched the "Innovation Exemption," allowing qualified platforms to explore on-chain trading of tokenized stocks.
This means traditional finance is trying to move more assets onto the blockchain.
And Ethereum happens to be an indispensable infrastructure in this on-chain financial world.
So the question is:
Is Ethereum we see now just a coin, or part of the future of finance on-chain?
Of course, regulatory moves don’t mean Ethereum will immediately take off, and a short-term rebound doesn’t mean a trend reversal.
But after trading for so many years, I increasingly believe one thing:
What people really regret is never missing the lowest point to buy, but panicking and throwing away the last bit of their chips.
As for what happens next?
The market will give the answer.
But tonight, don’t rush to write the script.市场最近出现了一个很有意思的现象。 9 月 16 日： 美联储将利率上调 25 个基点，联邦基金利率升至 3.75%–4.00%。 与此同时，美国参议院的 CLARITY Act 程序性投票以 49–50 未能推进。 BTC 随后快速下跌， 一度来到大约 75,200 美元附近。 当时很多人开始担心： 这是不是下一轮下跌的开始？ 但市场并没有按照这个剧本走。 短短一天之后， BTC 又重新突破 80,000 美元， 盘中一度触及约 80,800 美元， 从低点反弹超过 7%。 更值得注意的是： 之前的利空并没有消失。 美联储依然加息。 CLARITY Act 依然没有通过。 宏观环境依然存在压力。 那么， 为什么 BTC 反而开始上涨？ --- 关键可能不是“新闻变好了” 而是： 市场已经开始消化这些坏消息。 CLARITY Act 失败并非完全出乎市场预期。 而美联储这次加息 25 个基点，在决策公布之前也已经被市场广泛讨论和定价。 所以真正重要的问题可能不是： “坏消息有多糟？” 而是： “坏消息出来以后，还有多少人愿意卖？” 这两件事的区别非常大。 如果利空落地之后， 价格没有继$BTC rising does not mean that the Fed raising interest rates or the CLARITY Act failing is good news. The notable point is that the bad news has already been priced in. 📌 Fed raises 25bps → $BTC does not drop sharply. 📌 CLARITY Act stalls → selling pressure quickly absorbed. 📌 Bitcoin ETF returns to attract capital → real demand emerges. 📌 Shorts heavily liquidated → creating additional buying pressure. 🧠 Trader's perspective: Don't ask "Why does $BTC still rise despite bad news?" Ask instead: "After the bad news has appeared, why are there still buyers?" 😂 All the bad news is out but the price refuses to gReviewing the recent market trend. BTC surged from around 76,000 to about 81,000, gaining 5,000 points with almost no decent pullbacks in between. This kind of one-sided market easily shakes out retail investors—they sell at a small rise, only to watch it soar to the sky. I used to have this problem, quickly taking a few hundred U profits and running, then chasing highs and getting trapped. After losing 200,000 U, I finally realized: in a trending market, you have to hold on but must use stop-loss. Now 81,000 is a key level; I’m holding a long position opened at 80,000 with a stop-loss at 79,500, and will reduce half my position at 81,000 to lock in profits. The rest will let profits run, but I will never hold through a loss. $BTC $BTC #Many people lose money not because they choose the wrong direction, but because they enter the market too hastily.
They don't dare to buy during a decline,
and then fear missing out when prices rise,
ultimately often buying at the peak of market sentiment.
What really needs to be overcome is not a technical issue, but FOMO.
The hardest part of trading is not finding opportunities, but accepting:
You don't have to participate in every market wave.
Missing one opportunity at most means not making money.
Chasing at the top can really lead to losses.
Sometimes, holding no position is also a position.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC Japan has already raised interest rates, so why is $SOL still surging?
The Bank of Japan raised the interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25% yesterday, the highest in 31 years. Logically, with Japan tightening monetary policy, the market's biggest concern would be the contraction of yen carry trades, putting pressure on global risk assets. The crypto market, being highly volatile, would be even more susceptible.
However, the market action is completely different from this scenario.
SOL is now around $113, having surged from about $101 yesterday to $114, with a single-day increase of over 11%. Moreover, after the rate hike news from Japan, there was no obvious sustained selling pressure. BTC also remains steady above $77,000, indicating that this rate hike has at least temporarily not triggered market panic.
The most obvious change for SOL in this wave is that the previous low near $96 was quickly recovered. After firmly holding above $100, it directly surged above $110.
But the $110–$115 range is also a significant resistance. After continuous rallies, chasing in at this point is likely to be stopped out by a pullback. It now looks more like the market is watching to see if $110 can turn from resistance into support. Once it holds, the market will have more room to expand.⚡Only $3 away! SanDisk knocks on the $1800 mark, storage sector explodes across the board
The storage sector has recently come back to life completely, and SanDisk is undoubtedly the brightest star on the floor.
Originally thought NVDA and SK Hynix were strong enough, but SNDK has shown the strongest performance overall.
Let's break down the multiple driving forces behind this round of market action:
① After the interest rate hike, the Nasdaq rebounded, and the overall risk appetite in the tech sector increased;
② Nvidia continues to drive AI industry chain expectations, strengthening the demand logic for data center storage;
③ Korean storage stocks exploded across the board, with SK Hynix surging over 6% and Samsung also strengthening by more than 3%;
④ Major catalyst: SK Hynix's Solidigm plans to build a NAND factory in the US, opening a new round of imagination for the supply chain.
Multiple positive factors resonate, and capital is flooding into the storage sector.
A memorable moment during trading:
SanDisk surged sharply in one minute, instantly rising 1.43%.
Buying was extremely concentrated, and selling pressure was immediately absorbed by capital, pushing the price straight up.
The intraday high touched $1797, just $3 shy of the $1800 whole number mark, almost knocking on the door.
Currently, the price is around $1790.
Will it break through $1800 tomorrow and push towards $1850? I won’t predict the exact level.
But one signal is very clear: in the storage sector, the capital offensive has clearly returned.#美联储10月再加息概率破55% 9 月 16 日，美联储把利率加到了 3.75%–4.00%，12 票对 0 票，没有一张反对票。 一周后，CME"美联储观察"给出新读数：10 月 28 日再加 25 个基点的概率 55.4%。这不是重点——重点是到 12 月，年内至少再加一次的概率，87.4%。 但我更想让你看的是另一组数：预测市场 Polymarket 上，10 月"按兵不动"的概率 54.5%，"加息"只有 44.5%。 同一天，同一件事：利率期货说加，真金白银的预测市场说不加。两个市场打起来了。 为什么打架？因为这次不是数据推着走，是人推着走。主席沃什在 9 月发布会上把话挑明了："我们对行动的标准，还没有被满足。"翻译一下：10 月加不加，不取决于某一个通胀读数，取决于他还想再观察几周。多数投行也把下一次加息押在 12 月，理由很直白——10 月决议离 11 月 3 日中期选举太近。 对加密，我的框架只有一条：最杀估值的不是加息落地，是"要加没加"的预期一直悬着。9 月的行情已经演示过一遍——SPCX 冲高回落、LAB 一天踩踏 61%、ZEC 四天 l Ethereum (ETH) recently climbed back above $2,550, rising about 4%+ in the past day, with short-term capital flowing back noticeably. Notably, ETH previously surged rapidly to $2,600, during which about $85M in short positions were forcibly liquidated, driving a clear acceleration in the price. However, the market is not solely driven by buying forces. Recently, there has been significant selling pressure in the $2,580–$2,620 range, while the $2,500 area has become a key point for short-term bulls and bears. Additionally, the US spot ETH ETF saw a single-day net outflow of about $141M in mid-September, indicating that institutional capital demand still shows some volatility. From a technical perspective, what I care about is not whether ETH can briefly break through $2.6K, but whether it can stabilize after the breakout. If the price can consolidate above $2,550–$2,600, market structure may improve further; If it falls back below the key support, caution is needed to be aware that this rally is driven more by short-term unwinding and momentum. The breakout is only the first step; what truly matters is the support strength after the breakout. 👀 #ETH #Ethereum #Crypto #Bitcoin #ETHUSD #加密货币Washington is moving on two fronts at once, and the pairing is the story. A crypto tax bill has cleared committee by 38 votes to 5, trimming some of the everyday friction around usage and reporting, while widening anti-money-laundering trading rules to cover digital assets.

Scraping through the geological layer where $SOL stands at 113.8 USDT, the signal from carbon-14 dating is extremely cold. The RSI has stubbornly hit the overbought extreme at 78.0, and the upper Bollinger Band at 116.7 is trembling violently. Top hunters have long since reduced leverage to the minimum and are counting their spoils in the grand hall, while countless retail investors with hundredfold leverage are still frantically scrambling for chips among the ruins, not even realizing that the volcanic ash above their heads is already three feet thick.
There is nothing new under the sun. The sands of the Roman Colosseum two thousand years ago were soaked with the blood of slaves; today’s funding rates and liquidation charts are similarly covered with the ashes of retail investors vaporized by forced liquidations. The cash flow taken by top institutions is just another stripping of gold from the fingers of the sacrificial victims. When the crowd falls into delirium, this relic only has one ending: collapse.
The load-bearing capacity of the upper Bollinger Band’s rock layer has reached its limit, and the fragile limestone support at 103.5 is on the verge of collapse. High volume with stagnant gains—every instance of false prosperity before a dynasty’s fall in historical records shows an astonishingly consistent structure.

#StrategyPlaybook #DynastyChangeAndBloodTearsRemnants 🏛️🔍$SPCX is one of the most unique entries on this list—it transforms space assets that have not yet fully followed traditional paths into on-chain tradable narrative tokens. Early on chains like Solana $SOL, SPCX contributed a very high proportion of holding addresses and considerable trading volume, indicating retail investors have a genuine demand for the "feeling of buying space equity." SEC exemptions mainly cover listed NMS stocks, making the compliance boundaries for SPCX-type assets more complex; their prices simultaneously include equity imagination, liquidity premium, and information asymmetry. With the crypto market warming up in the past day, these high-story RWA typically show greater elasticity. The risk is extremely high: information disclosure, redemption, and valuation anchoring are not as clear as $NVDA. It is more like thematic speculation rather than balance sheet investment. Positioning should default to treating it as a satellite allocation. #SEC与CFTC明确链上金融合规路径 #SpaceXCFO称有信心实现1000亿美元ARR #OKX星球话题来啦 Current price is around 0.0073000, with the naked K-line on the hourly chart showing consecutive lower shadows pinned at the 0.0072800 area, indicating some passive buying support. However, the rebound to 0.0074100 was suppressed, and buyers are reluctant to chase higher, leaving the price trapped in a very narrow range. This structure is not a gradual decline but waiting for a directional breakout with volume.
At this position, do not chase the mid-price; only place orders on the two sides. If the price pulls back to 0.0072100 to 0.0072600 without breaking and shows a volume-increased lower shadow, you can lightly go long, with a stop loss set firmly below 0.0070300. The stop loss must be strict; do not hold unrealistic expectations.
Take profit targets are first at 0.0075600, and if broken, then look at the 0.0077100 level, which is a vacuum zone left from the previous wave of selling, so resistance there won't be too strong.
Just finished a trade and climbed six floors; my legs are still shaking, but the market waits for no one. If G directly breaks above 0.0074100 at this position, I won't chase; I'll wait for a pullback confirmation before entering.
If it directly breaks below 0.0070300, it means the bottom support is fake; flip to short targeting 0.0068200 without hesitation.
With the current trading structure, the turning point often occurs during the liquidity-thinnest early morning hours. Don't sleep through it, and keep your position size under 20%.

#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进
@OKX星球 Many people think they should chase when prices rise and buy the dip when prices fall, but that's completely backwards. The real money makers buy when everyone is panicking and sell when everyone is excited. BTC has just pulled from 76,000 to around 81,000, and the whole network is shouting to push to 90,000. At times like this, I need to stay calm. The 81,000 resistance level isn't easily broken; last time it reached here, it was smashed down. The 200,000 U loss I paid as tuition taught me: don't chase when it’s risen too much, don’t panic when it’s fallen too much. I’m trying a small 5,000 U long position near 80,000, with a stop loss at 79,500, and will take half profits at 81,000 first. No greed, no holding on stubbornly, slowly recovering. $BTC $BTC #美联储10月再加息概率破55% On 9/19, the entire market turned bullish, but the sell orders moved first, briefly triggering funding rates early in the morning, which then turned positive across the board. $BTC 0.0071%, $ETH, $ETH and SOL $SOL both reached 0.01%, BNB$ 0.0084%. This rebound is not driven by short covering but by real money opening long positions. The intraday gains are clear: SOL up 11.74%, $BTC up 6.24%, $ETH up 7.18%, BNB up 3.93%, with major players all catching up. The news is also supportive. $BTC defied the trend to reclaim above 80,000; the Senate Clarity Act vote failed but didn’t crash the market. Regulatory efforts have shifted direction: the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has directly submitted crypto regulatory proposals to the White House for review, no longer relying on Congress. Meanwhile, Coinbase has applied to create perpetual contracts for stocks like Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia; exchanges have been investing heavily in compliance infrastructure over the past years. Regarding capital structure, speaking personally: open interest rose to $8.768 billion, up 6.5% in one day, indicating on-exchange positions are increasing, not decreasing. However, long accounts only make up 48%, less than half; there are actually more short accounts on the exchange. The active sell order ratio is 0.97, meaning sell orders never stopped during the rally; many chased longs, but some took the opportunity to sell. The Fear & Greed Index is 56, neutral leaning greedy, sentiment hasn’t reached a frenzy yet. #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 The second truth: Shorts are just a pile of kindling
If you only look at the fundamentals, you might think the $80,000 price is "just okay"—after all, it's still nearly 40% below the all-time high of $126,000.
But if you look at the position structure, you'll discover a terrifying fact: before the launch, shorting Bitcoin had already become one of the most crowded trades on Wall Street.
In recent weeks, Bitcoin has been repeatedly testing between $75,000 and $78,000. Every rally was pushed down, and every rebound was called a "fake breakout." Shorts started to leverage up, add positions, and began to feel "this time it's certain, the bear market is confirmed."
But they forgot the oldest rule of the crypto market: when everyone's opinion is unanimous, liquidations will come in the most brutal way.
Friday's surge was a classic "short squeeze." After the price broke through a key threshold, a large number of shorts were forced to cover by buying. These buy orders pushed the price higher, triggering more short liquidations, creating a chain reaction. Within just four hours, the total crypto short liquidations across the network approached $250 million, with Bitcoin shorts alone contributing over $230 million. $ETH $BTC $ZEC #美联储10月再加息概率破55% #美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 #SEC与CFTC明确链上金融合规路径 UNI suddenly exploded, the market seemed ignited, and the price surged sharply. The buying pressure is not just about speculating on DeFi, but more like an early bet on RWA and on-chain stock trading gateways. The SEC has opened an innovative exemption for tokenized stocks, expectations for traditional stocks going on-chain are heating up, and funds are repricing UNI.
In the past, watching UNI meant focusing on governance and DEX market share. Now the pivot has changed: with the Fee Switch turned on, the protocol begins to capture cash flow and market share rises. The Robinhood channel, Circle ARC as the preferred DEX, v4 and UniswapX, and stablecoin liquidity expansion make Uniswap more like the clearing and trading layer of on-chain finance, rather than just an exchange tool. Governance attributes recede, while cash flow and infrastructure positioning come to the forefront. Tokenized stocks, RWA, and AI Agent trading gateways may all contribute incremental value.
But the surge also accumulates risks. After the sharp rise, short-term chips begin to exchange hands, and the v4 Hooks security controversy has not yet fully settled. If trading volume and revenue cannot expand synchronously, profit-taking will suppress the trend. The imagination space for RWA is huge, but expected trading always leads fundamental realization.
Don't chase the high at the end of the surge; wait for a pullback to confirm key support and sustained volume before considering entry; if participating, go light with stop-loss, take profits in batches near resistance zones, and when volume-price divergence occurs, better to miss out than catch the last baton. $UNI Finally, let's wrap up by looking at the news and what to watch next.
On September 16, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points, setting the range at 3.75% to 4%. In the days following the hike, the market rebounded to the upper end of the range, without a one-sided breakout.
The latest verifiable spot ETF data: On September 17, Bitcoin absorbed about 160 million, while Ethereum saw outflows of about 39 million, with Ethereum experiencing multiple consecutive days of outflows.
Prices are moving toward the upper range, but capital is not fully returning. Bitcoin had a single-day inflow, while Ethereum continues to see outflows, indicating institutions are still selective and not rushing to chase highs.
There isn’t clear new weekly settlement data for Solana and Ripple these past two days, so no forced numbers will be given. Institutional volume for Dogecoin remains low, with only short positions and no longs.
What to watch next: whether BTC/ETH short positions hold, if ETF inflows can continue, whether SOL reaches 120–130 and XRP around 1.5, and if Dogecoin short positions at 0.09/0.10 will be released.
Short positions near the upper range can be taken, but stop losses must be set. When capital and price don’t align, avoid averaging down.🟠 $BTC + 🔵 $ETH + 🟢 $SOL | 15M
BTC remains the structural anchor, ETH confirms market breadth, while SOL reflects higher-beta risk appetite and capital rotation.
Price + volume + Open Interest are the key confirmation layer. Strong participation supports the structure; divergence signals weaker conviction.
BTC holds + ETH/SOL confirm → 🚀 Expansion
BTC holds + ETH/SOL diverge → ⚠️ Narrow Strength
Risk management matters when breadth becomes selective. $UNI I originally just wanted to grab a quick breakfast, but the market ended up giving me half a year's worth of dumplings.
Last night at dawn, I was watching UNI closely. After testing the bottom for a long time without breaking the support, I opened a long position around 6.957. At that time, the market hadn't fully started yet, so I just said: there's someone buying below, don't rush. During the repeated fluctuations in the session, many people got shaken off, but I stayed on the ride.
Now looking at the current price of 8.870, the return is +1375.59%, this profit feels great. The earlier hesitation was real, but the outcome is truly sweet, those still on the ride must be waking up smiling.
For position management, I first took profit on 70%, pocketing the main chunk; the remaining 30% moved the stop loss near the cost price, letting profits run if it continues to rise, and not letting gains turn uncomfortable if it falls back.
For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush in, chasing highs easily leaves you stuck at the peak. Wait for a more comfortable position in the next round, and I'll notify you immediately.
The market is to be waited for, profits are to be held onto. Don't get greedy with gains, don't despair over pullbacks.
$SOL $XRP UNI surges 14%: Under the RWA narrative, Uniswap undergoes value reassessment
Market data shows $UNI briefly surged to $7.841, with a 24-hour increase of 14.28%. Capital is flowing back into the DeFi sector, and the SEC's regulatory exemption policy for tokenized stocks, bridging on-chain and traditional securities markets, has become the core catalyst for this rally.
On the fundamentals side, after the Fee Switch implementation, Uniswap's monthly revenue stabilizes at $7.2 million, and its DEX market share has risen from 21% to 31%. The protocol has integrated with Robinhood, becoming Circle ARC's preferred DEX; V4, UniswapX, and the stablecoin ecosystem continue to expand.
Market valuation logic is shifting: previously, UNI relied on governance premium, but now it is gradually transforming into on-chain financial infrastructure with stable cash flow. RWA, tokenized stocks, and AI Agent trading are expected to continuously bring new trading demand.
However, short-term speculative risks are prominent. After the surge, chips are quickly changing hands, V4 Hooks still have security vulnerabilities, and the sustainability of trading volume and revenue is uncertain. Profit-taking pressure cannot be ignored. #SEC与CFTC明确链上金融合规路径 ⚠️ On-Chain Hotspot | Frequent Black Hat Coin Thefts
Current Situation
Recently, black hat (black shell) coin theft incidents have surged, with increasing cases affecting personal wallets and small projects. The attacks no longer target only large protocols; a large number of ordinary users have become primary targets. The attacks no longer rely on private key cracking but mostly on phishing, malicious unlimited approvals, blind signatures, and malicious plugins to achieve seamless coin theft. Many users' wallet mnemonic phrases have not been leaked, yet their assets have been transferred away. After obtaining approval, hackers do not steal immediately but monitor the wallet, waiting for users to transfer large amounts of assets before looting all at once, making the attack highly covert.
Mainstream Attack Methods
1. Malicious Unlimited Approvals (Most Frequent)
Airdrop claims, whitelists, token unlock web pages induce wallet signatures granting contracts unlimited transfer permissions. Signature pop-ups do not clearly inform of risks; users think they are just paying gas fees, but in reality, they sign a blank check allowing hackers to transfer all tokens at any time.
2. Phishing Social Engineering Attacks
Private messages on social platforms, ad links, fake official websites, fake wallet apps; search ads top many phishing sites with domain names differing by only a few letters. Importing mnemonic phrases instantly uploads keys to hacker servers. Impersonating customer service or project teams to extract information under the pretext of unlocking assets or upgrading wallets.
3. Trojans and Malicious Browser Extensions
Stealing clipboard contents, hijacking transaction addresses; malicious extensions lurking in browsers listen to wallet signature actions, hijack transaction parameters, and persist in the system even after computer restarts.
4. Blind Signature Attacks
Signature pop-ups only display hexadecimal code with no readable transaction information, and users confirm signatures directly.$BTC $ETH High-level consolidation under macro game, on-chain review before the turning point
The Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.00%, entering a market digestion period of "bad news fully priced in." However, U.S. Treasury yields remain high, macro liquidity is still tight, and risk asset valuations are significantly suppressed.
Analysis combining market and on-chain data:
BTC surged to 81,527 on the 15-minute chart before pulling back to 81,365; the MA5/10/20 moving averages are tightly clustered around 81,100, with on-chain chips highly concentrated, indicating a turning point is imminent. ETH shows relatively weaker performance, currently priced at 2,622, having fallen below the MA20 (2,623.44), with the previous high of 2,646 forming short-term structural resistance.
From positions and capital behavior, high-level turnover is intensifying, profit-taking is ongoing, institutional capital inflow has slowed in the short term, and the market lacks incremental funds to break the deadlock.
Macro and data judgment:
· Resistance levels: BTC 81,527 / ETH 2,646.
· Support levels: BTC 80,000-80,500 / ETH 2,580-2,600.
· Observation signals: If BTC breaks below 80,000 with volume or ETH loses 2,600, it indicates macro selling pressure dominance, requiring caution for deeper pullbacks; conversely, if volume shrinks and stabilizes, the high-level oscillation pattern will be maintained.
Allocation strategy:
With no macro turning point yet, it is recommended to focus on spot base positions, strictly controlling contract leverage within 10x. Currently in a high-level game period, avoid blindly chasing rises or selling off.这一轮反弹，三个市场角色正在逐渐分化。 BTC 重新站上 $80K 附近，依然是整个市场的核心方向；ETH 回到 $2,600+，反映资金广度正在改善；而 SOL 一度冲破 $112，短线波动和风险偏好明显更强。 所以现在观察的重点，不只是价格上涨了多少。 价格 + 成交量 + 未平仓合约（OI） 才是判断这波行情是否具有持续性的关键组合。 🟠 BTC 稳住 $80K → 🔵 ETH 能够守住 $2,600 → 🟢 SOL 保持在 $110 上方 这意味着市场参与度正在扩大，资金开始从核心资产向高波动资产扩散。 但如果出现： BTC 维持强势 ETH 跟不上 SOL 开始回落 那么就更像是局部资金推动，而不是全面扩散。 近期市场还有一个值得关注的变化：在美国加密市场结构法案于参议院受阻后，SEC/CFTC 的相关监管行动仍在推进，同时 BTC、ETH 和 SOL 都出现明显反弹。 因此，15分钟级别上，我更关注的是： BTC 定方向，ETH 看扩散，SOL 测试风险偏好。 涨幅可以很快出现， 但真正重要的是—— 成交量能否跟上，OI 是否配合，以及突破后的价格能否站稳。 🔥Account Position Divergence Radar

Market data shows that this rally is driven not only by spot buying but also by short covering, which provided additional momentum to the market. However, I won't focus solely on the percentage gain. From the recent trading structure, the $106–$110 range is becoming a key battleground between bulls and bears. Buyers continue to absorb at higher prices, while sellers have started to appear around $110–$113, indicating that the price has entered a new zone of resistance testing. Meanwhile, Solana's fundamentals have also changed. The network recently reduced the target block time from 300ms to 250ms, theoretically increasing block production speed by about 17%; additionally, Transaction V1 has raised the data limit per transaction from 1,232 bytes to 4,096 bytes, providing more room for more complex transactions and applications. Therefore, what truly deserves attention next is not whether SOL can continue to rise by a few percentage points. The key is: after breaking through $110, can it hold steady at higher levels and continue to receive volume and buying support? If buyers can defend the $108–$110 range, the market may continue to test higher resistance; but if the rise is mainly driven by leverage and short covering, the price may retest the breakout zone. Momentum is strong. But follow-through is whaInvalidation in one line.
$BTC : lost structure.
$ETH : no flows and worse beta. $ZEC DOGE: attention gone : impulse dies.
If price is still “fine” but your invalidation already printed, the trade is over. Ego is not a stop.
#FedOctHikeOddsHit55%
#CryptoTaxAndBTCReserve Brothers and sisters, BTC shot straight up to around 80900 today, a big bullish candle pulling from 76000, rising nearly 5000 points. I just tried a small long position near 80000 yesterday, and now the floating profit is pretty good. But honestly, with such a sharp rise, I'm a bit nervous. The resistance at 81000 is right there; if it breaks through, it's a new world, but if it doesn't, it might be a pullback. I opened a small position with 5000U, stop loss set at 79500, no holding through losses. Losing 200,000U and recovering now, every step is very cautious, no longer daring to bet heavily on direction like before. What do you think, is the 80,000 level a real breakout or a fake one? $BTC $BTC #美联储10月再加息概率破55% 1 billion USD. 830% month-over-month growth.
My first reaction when seeing this number was, are people really trading tokenized stocks on Base?
Looking further, Aerodrome alone took 850 million.
Frankly, the story sounds good, but the money is basically concentrated in one place.
I chased the RWA concept last year too, and only realized after buying that the trading volume was entirely propped up by mining subsidies; once the subsidies stopped, volume was cut in half immediately.
This time I specifically went to check and didn’t dare to act.
The lesson is, when you see such explosive growth data, first ask: who is washing volume, and who is genuinely buying.
I will continue to watch the Base line, but what I’m really watching is how much Aerodrome can retain after the subsidy taper.

Uniswap's DEX Volume on Robinhood Chain has already reached about 92%.

It has trading volume.
It has fees.
But what does that have to do with UNI?
Now, Fee Switch + Burn is completing the final piece.

When a token's value capture mechanism changes,
its valuation model should be recalculated. $UNI 📊A huge game is unfolding! BTC rebounds, betting on the Fed stopping?
The September rate hike dust has settled, but the market has no time to relax, already focusing on October.
According to the latest CME data, the probability of another 25bp rate hike in October has surged to 55.4%. The dot plot signals are even clearer: most Fed officials predict at least one more rate hike this year.
Honestly, I initially thought this round of rate hikes was the end.
But reality is right in front of us: rising energy prices, advancing tariff policies, and continuous capital consumption by AI infrastructure mean inflation risks are not eliminated.
The 10-year US Treasury yield has stabilized at 5%, and mortgage rates have surged to 6.95%. In this environment, the Fed is unlikely to easily declare the end of rate hikes.
An interesting divergence emerges.
After the rate hike, US stocks and BTC quickly recovered and rebounded, with BTC rising nearly 2% intraday.
Capital is betting that this round is a limited hike, betting the Fed will not tighten continuously.
But I dare not easily follow this bet.
If the October rate hike happens as expected, this current rebound is essentially an overdrawn optimistic expectation.
Conversely, if the rate hike pauses in October, the funds that missed out will chase the market higher.
In a rate hike cycle, survival is always more important than making quick money in the short term.
$BTC $ETH $ZEC $HYPE Honestly, I myself thought it was risky for this trade to survive until now, luck played a big part.
Yesterday in the early morning, the market bottomed out, HYPE support held, and there were buyers below. I advised to wait for a pullback to stabilize before moving, don’t chase.
Just after lunch, I checked the market, and it gave the answer: from 79.380 to 93.306, +877.55%, that profit feels good.
Take profit on 70%, move the remaining 30% to the cost price to protect it, let the profit run, and don’t let a pullback turn gains into discomfort.
The market is waited for, profits are held for. Panic comes from no plan, losses come from overthinking. For those not in yet, now is not the time to rush, wait for the next signal to move.
$BNB $DOGE Whale shorted $ZEC and lost ten million, it's not a market reversal
One address shorted $ZEC for half a month.
In the end, they closed the position at 1548 USD.
What they thought before:
79% win rate, earned 9.11 million in half a year.
In their eyes, this trade was still very likely to win.
What actually happened:
The short was done by borrowing coins to sell; if the price rises, they have to buy back to repay.
When the price rose beyond endurance, they had to accept the loss and close the position.
The 10.68 million loss came from this.
A 79% win rate couldn't save this trade.
One time of not holding on, and all previous gains are given back.
#ZEC再创新高，估值重估受关注 $ZEC Full rebound across the board: $BTC broke through the 80,000 barrier in one go, altcoins are going crazy across the board, and storage chain stocks continue to rise with new materials.
This week, all the negative news has been exhausted, and the market sentiment has changed. Three driving forces to help you see clearly which are true trends and which are just emotional amplifiers:
1. Regulation bypasses Congress and paves its own way: On the 17th, the CFTC submitted two draft crypto market rules to the White House, while the SEC simultaneously pushed for innovative exemptions for tokenized stocks.
After the CLARITY Act died, the administrative route is opening up. The market interprets this as the US not intending to kill this industry, which is the biggest expectation gap in this round.
2. Weak data weakens the case for continued rate hikes: August industrial output was flat, and leading indicators were down 0.1% as announced on Friday, loosening hawkish confidence. That’s why the market started a broad rally yesterday.
3. ETF stops the bleeding: BTC spot ETF saw a net inflow of 159 million on Thursday, ending the previous two days’ outflow of about 746 million, with institutions coming back in.
Over 470 million in shorts were liquidated across the market in 24 hours; a significant part of this rally was shorts buying themselves out. Today is Saturday, when spot liquidity is thinnest during the week, so altcoins like $FIL will see even higher gains. Just as I opened the space, I got knocked out—I accept it.
Sometimes, the toughest part of the market isn't your misdirection, but that you act too early.
Just now, $ETH opened a small short position, which was immediately eliminated.
I agree.
This stage is indeed not suitable for hard shorting.
Today, ETH climbed from around 2440 all the way up to above 2550, and after touching 1500, $ZEC remained sideways at a high level.
It seems both coins have already risen significantly.
But think calmly:
"It's rising a lot≠ "It's about to drop."
On the ETH side, spot ETFs still have funds supporting the market. Short-term outflows are more like a change in capital rhythm and cannot yet be simply understood as a collective exit by institutions.
Moreover, ETH has already undergone a clear pullback earlier, and now it seems more like a recovery from an oversold condition.
What is this market most afraid of?
There are too many short positions, so the price gently pushes up, clearing out short positions one by one.
$ZEC is even more obvious.
The privacy narrative remains, ETF expectations remain, the shielded pool has locked up some circulating shares, and the short positions in previous contracts have been repeatedly liquidated.
Of course, 1500 can be a resistance level.
But I want to remind myself:
A resistance level doesn't mean it must be short.
ETH and ZEC now share a common trait:
There is buying interest in the spot market, with bearish leverage, and the narrative is far from over.
Under this structure, shorting is most likely to occur:
The direction might be right in the end, but time is simply not on your side.
#DailyOrbit #黄仁勋：英伟达明年芯片销量将翻倍
Jensen Huang spoke again, saying that NVIDIA's chip sales will double next year. Right after he said that, AI cloud provider Nebius notified customers that starting October 1, on-demand GPU computing power prices will increase, with instances like H100, H200, B200, and B300 rising by 17% to 21%.
Looking at these two things together, it's quite contradictory. On one hand, supply is supposed to double, but prices are still going up. Normally, with more supply, prices should drop; the opposite happening only means demand is outpacing supply.
Computing power is now hard currency. Large models keep getting bigger, and inference demands consume more cards than training. Cloud providers simply don't have enough GPUs to go around. Nebius dares to raise prices because they know customers have no choice—if you don't rent, someone else will. Even if NVIDIA doubles shipments, it won't fill this gap in the short term; ramping up production takes time, and TSMC can't just expand capacity on a whim.
Looking at the bigger picture, this AI capital expenditure cycle is far from over. As cloud providers' profit margins get squeezed, they'll try to pass costs downstream, meaning AI application costs will also rise. When computing power prices will peak depends on whether supply expansion can catch up with demand; for now, it looks like it's still early.
For the crypto space, this is indirectly related. The more aggressively AI infrastructure burns money, the faster fiat credit is consumed, making Bitcoin's non-sovereign asset logic more credible. But in the short term, don't expect this news to pump the market; right now, the market is focused on interest rates and inflation, not how many cards NVIDIA sells. $BTC $ETH $NVDA Teacher A's Real Trading Record | Day 259 of Dollar-Cost Averaging into SOL, Enjoying Nearly 60% Profit🚀
📅 Check-in Day: Day 259
💰 Current Holdings: 116.70 SOL
📈 Current Profit/Loss: +58.38% (Unrealized profit about 32000 CNY) 🎉
📊 Current Price: ~114 USDT
Although the profit now is good, looking back at the weekly chart, the current price is still at the foot of the mountain.🏔️
My strategy is simple:
1️⃣ Buy according to plan regardless of rise or fall.
2️⃣ Buy more when it falls, buy less (or not at all) when it rises.
3️⃣ Uninstall the app and live well.
In this market, surviving longer is more important than making quick profits. Time is the best friend, persistence is victory!💪
Are there any friends also dollar-cost averaging into SOL? Raise your hand in the comments!🙋♂️#美国加密税收与BTC储备法案获推进 $BTC $SOL 🚨 Defying the market to resist capital outflow! $ETH powerfully retakes 2500, is a new rally about to start?
Here's a very interesting anomaly.
On September 17, the US spot ETH ETF saw a net outflow of about $39 million again, marking three consecutive days of capital outflow.
However, ETH price stubbornly withstood the selling pressure, firmly holding the 2450-2500 range, and the spot market did not experience a trend sell-off.
Technically, 2400 is the core support level for ETH's current upward move.
Now that it has firmly stood above the 2500 mark again, it means it has reclaimed the previous breakout platform, and the bulls' confidence is back.
The major mid-to-long-term catalysts are already on the way.
RWA, stablecoins, and on-chain institutional finance remain ETH's biggest narrative trump cards.
The SEC's latest Innovation Exemption policy allows certain tokenized US stocks to be traded on-chain, directly fueling Ethereum's RWA sector.
✅ Bullish signal: Breakout with volume above 2550-2560, next target is 2750
🟢 Mid-term lifeline: 2400; if broken, the upward structure needs to be reassessed. Others trade crypto to make money, but for me, trading crypto is a form of punishment.
$UNI went from 3.16 to 9.44, and the group chat is full of daily profit screenshots. I didn’t buy it, not even bothering to say congratulations—what’s flying in the sky isn’t my money, it’s the life I missed out on.
That $ZEC trade was something else. I shorted at 954, it surged all the way to 1583, and now it’s hanging at 1547. An $800 gap, and I’ve been holding for half a month.
Others make money shorting volatility; I short to build courage. This isn’t trading at all—it’s like someone strapped me to a rocket and I have to shout "ignite" myself.
$ETH was originally my only correct move: I entered five orders at 1992, and the highest it reached was 2646. But I just didn’t sell. Now it’s dropped back to 2613, and the profit of over three thousand dollars is leaking out bit by bit. When it rises, I want to wait longer; when it falls, I’m afraid it will rebound once I leave; when it’s sideways, I get anxious—my face is literally drawn by the candlestick chart.
Later I realized: what breaks a person isn’t losing money, but three things hitting all at once—the train you didn’t get on, the horse you can’t get off, and the money you can’t hold.
So tonight I only ask myself one question: if $ZEC rises another half, will I still be alive? If alive, I hold; if dead, I won’t add positions; if not alive, I cut losses immediately and stop thinking about that 822 number.
The market doesn’t remember where I opened my position, only I remember, and remembering only makes it hurt more.

#SEC与CFTC明确链上金融合规路径 ⚡Breaking news! Japan officially announces interest rate hike, triggering a global wave of high interest rates, with hidden risks in the crypto market
On September 18, the Bank of Japan raised rates by 25bp to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, signaling possible further hikes.
Following the announcement, the yen fell below 157, as the rate hike expectation had already been priced in by the market.
The Bank of England held steady, but three members supported an immediate rate hike, increasing policy divergence.
The US and Japan are tightening consecutively, making rising global borrowing costs a clear trend.
The biggest risk comes from the yen carry trade.
After the BOJ rate hike, low-cost financing funds are forced to close positions and exit, causing liquidity to be passively withdrawn. If long-term bond yields continue to rise, risk asset valuations will remain under pressure.
$BTC's movement is intriguing: it dipped to 75,000 after the rate hike, then strongly rebounded to 80,000.
The market is betting that the Fed's rate hikes are only temporary, but the probability of a hike in October has already exceeded 50%. If inflation rebounds, this rally could abruptly end at any time.
💡My judgment: Do not chase the rally.
Current spot buying volume has not increased, so the rebound may be a bull trap.
Prioritize light positions and observe; focus on the ongoing global high interest rate cycle as the main theme. Half a month, $1548, closed the position.
My first reaction when I saw this number was not to mock, but to admire.
An experienced short seller with a 79% win rate earned 9.11 million from June until now, but lost it all in this trade and even ended up over a million in the red. It's not that he didn't hold on, he held on for half a month, but in the end, the price forced him to admit defeat.
Old traders are very familiar with this scene. The direction was right many times before, so next time they dare to increase their position, and then the market wipes out all your previous correct calls with a single move.
What I admire is not that he lost money, but that he really dared to admit it at the $1548 level.
If it were me, I would probably still be shouting in the group, "Wait a little longer, it will come back."
So don't be quick to laugh at others; first check if you have any "wait a little longer" orders in your own account.
I'm going to check mine first.

#全球高利率预期再升温 #美联储10月再加息概率破55% $ETH $ETH went from a floating loss of millions to a floating profit with just one big bullish candle
At the 2356 level, just a few days ago, it was the spot where the whole network was waiting for liquidation.
Current position: standing above 2570, a big bullish 4-hour candle lifted it up.
The previous resistance platform has just been broken, and the short-term traders' stop-loss is around here.
What is it betting on: a 25bp rate hike landing, the bearish news is priced in.
This wave pushed by concentrated short covering is not new money entering, it's shorts stepping on themselves.
There is still trapped volume pressure above at 2620.
A rebound does not mean a one-way move; pullbacks and shakeouts can come anytime, and high leverage can still swallow floating profits in one bite.
I still hold a short-term position; the direction hasn't changed, but I dare not add.
This reversal is too fast, almost like it's here to slap my face.
The life of a five-guarantee household, even if you make money, you can't sleep soundly.
#美联储10月再加息概率破55%
#全球高利率预期再升温 #摩根大通称比特币或跑赢黄金 $ETH No vision, can't hold on, the profit this time is as thin as paper, but I love it to death. During the bottom grinding in the session, $ZEC never broke 1,010.24, and the ZEC buy orders gradually strengthened. I knew someone was catching below, so after the long signal, I took some off first. While everyone else was still watching, the price had already started to move up.
Now 1,578.56 is right in front of me, +2814.03% income in sight, it was worth the wait. You don't have to catch the whole fish every time; taking a part is already great.
Better to miss a rally than to catch a flying knife and end up with a bloody hand.
Take profit on 70% of the position first, keep the remaining 30% at cost price for protection. Let the profits run if it keeps going up, and don't let gains turn uncomfortable if it pulls back. Time to enjoy a good meal, but don't let greed ruin the rhythm.
For friends who haven't gotten on board yet, listen to me: now is not the time to rush, wait for a more comfortable position in the next round. Wait for the new structure to emerge, there are still opportunities, don't be anxious.
$BTC $ADA $POL loud noise, little rain! Polygon's burn this time is purely self-excited
Polygon Foundation CEO boldly announced the deployment of a permissionless burn contract, with the first round directly burning 100 million POL,
The deflation narrative is fully hyped, even claiming to surpass Arbitrum and Near in revenue by 2026 according to a ChatGPT analyst
The news sounds impressive, but seasoned investors can see through it at a glance; this is purely much ado about nothing.
Looking at the data to see the essence. 100 million sounds like a lot, but POL's total supply is as high as 10.7 billion, so this burn is less than 1% of the total supply!
What's worse, there is no hard cap set on the burn
Even the official admits that after June 2025, the annual inflation rate will still be 2%
You burn 100 million, but inflation will add over 200 million in a year
This is not deflation; it's just moving money from one hand to the other, using burning as a marketing gimmick.
The market response is the most honest. POL is currently at 0.1048, with a pitiful 4% increase
24-hour trading volume is only 3.1 million USDT, compared to a market cap of 1.122 billion, liquidity is extremely dry
It peaked at 0.1095 and then weakened, unable to break through the 0.11 level
Compared to the historical high of 0.76, it is still stuck in a deep pit.
Don't be fooled by the official deflation PR; without incremental funds and real demand, burning a small amount can't support the price.
This rebound is just an emotional pulse, don't be the bag holder. Watch more, act less, wait for real capital to enter before making moves.Announcing victory while wielding the sanction hammer! What is Trump really playing at?
Trump's latest statement: The U.S. "easily won" the war against Iran, expects it to end soon, and gasoline prices will fall. He insists Iran does not have nuclear weapons and claims that without B-2 strikes, Iran might have already had nukes.
But on the same day, he signed the "2026 Lindsey Graham Sanctions on Russia and Iran Act," expanding sanctions, tariffs, and bans on Russia and Iran, and extending sanctions on Iran.
① Saying victory with words, wielding the big stick in hand
The expectation of a quick end to the war sharply contrasts with the reality of expanded sanctions. Geopolitical risks are not resolved; they have just shifted from hot war to prolonged economic strangulation.
② Impact on the crypto market
· If the expectation of war ending is realized, oil prices will fall, inflation will cool, benefiting risk assets.
· But with expanded sanctions and ongoing geopolitical tensions, risk-off sentiment could flare up at any time.
· In the short term, high oil prices still suppress inflation, limiting rate cut expectations and capping rebound potential for BTC and ETH.
· In the long term, sanctions on Iran and Russia accelerate de-dollarization, which in turn strengthens BTC's censorship-resistance narrative.
Core summary: Victory is a politician's line; sanctions are the market's reality. Don't rush blindly in the smoke screen—see the bottom cards clearly before betting!
$BTC $ETH Hello everyone, I am your uncle! The big boss's operational thinking really confused me.
Bankless co-founder liquidated all $ETH to rush into altcoins, and the market immediately erupted in chaos.
On the chart, Bitcoin surged to 2646 but didn't continue the strong attack, now hovering sideways around 2621, with the one-hour timeframe starting to consolidate.
The moving averages are still all supporting from below, the major uptrend structure remains intact, but the MACD has started to turn down, showing a clear weakening of bullish momentum.
On one side, mainstream coins are stagnating at high levels, while big players in the circle are shifting funds to the altcoin market, causing a clear capital diversion.
The reality now is that holding long ETH positions lacks the strength to push higher, but there is support holding it from falling.
Many people are being influenced by the big boss's comments, rushing to sell mainstream chips to chase various altcoins.
But don't just see others eating meat; altcoins rotate quickly and have many traps.
Mainstream coins have risen a lot in this wave, so even if switching tracks is necessary, you shouldn't impulsively go all-in.
Others can decisively switch coins, but ordinary retail investors blindly following trends are easily hit from both sides—selling mainstream too early and getting stuck in altcoins.
#Bankless co-founder says altcoin season has arrived #ETH consolidates at high levels $ETH10月加息概率破55%，市场为何不跌反涨？
这两天市场出现一个挺有意思的现象：10月美联储再次加息的市场隐含概率已经升到55%左右，按传统逻辑，加息预期升温应该压制BTC和美股，但这两天风险资产反而出现反弹。
为什么？
第一，**利空可能已经提前定价。**市场不是看到“加息”两个字就一定跌，而是看最终结果有没有超出预期。10月加息概率不断上升，本身就是市场已经在消化的事情，如果后续没有更鹰派的信息，价格反而可能出现利空钝化。
第二，**BTC交易的不只是降息预期。**美元、美债收益率、流动性以及资金回补都会影响短期走势。前期市场经历了一轮快速调整后，如果价格没有继续创新低，空头平仓甚至反手做多，都可能推动反弹。
第三，**55%并不等于加息已经板上钉钉。**这只是期货市场根据当前价格计算出的概率，后面的通胀、就业和美联储表态仍然可能改变预期。
所以现在真正值得关注的，不是“10月会不会加息”这一句话，而是：加息概率继续上升时，BTC到底还能不能跌下去？
如果利空不断增加，价格却越来越跌不动，说明市场可能正在提前消化紧缩预期；反过来，如果反弹后再次跌破关键支撑，那就要警惕这轮上涨只是技术$BTC remains the structural anchor. ETH reflects breadth, while small coins represent sentiment.
In this market cycle, many people mistakenly think all coins are moving independently, but when you break it down, the underlying transmission chain has never disappeared.
BTC is the ballast stone of the entire crypto market.
It doesn't have to surge the most, but its position determines the market's risk tolerance. As long as BTC doesn't experience a deep panic breakdown, the whole market still retains the foundation for "speculation"; once BTC chooses to dive, the vast majority of coins will struggle to stay unaffected. It may not be the pioneer of the trend, but it is the reference anchor for all funds:
- BTC oscillating at a high level → the market has room for trial and error;
- BTC continuously weakening → funds generally contract and seek safety.
Many altcoin impulse moves can detach from BTC for a few days, but it's hard to break away from its larger range.
ETH reflects the breadth of the market.
If BTC represents "whether there is a macro environment," ETH represents "whether the macro environment is good."
ETH's movement represents institutional confidence in the entire crypto sector:
- When ETH outperforms BTC, it means incremental funds are willing to flow into DeFi, NFT, Layer 2, AI+Web3 ecosystems; funds are not just buying digital gold but also "application expectations";
- When ETH underperforms BTC, it indicates the market has entered defense mode, where everyone only wants to hold the most hardcore assets and is unwilling to pay for ecosystem narratives, making a flourishing market difficult to appear. 🔥 Let's talk about those who are shorting ZEC
Recently, the trend of ZEC has been interesting, not just in terms of price fluctuations, but what exactly are the shorts betting on?
Many people's logic for shorting is simple: it has risen too much, the valuation is high, and the profit-taking should happen.
But the problem is, if market funds and the privacy narrative continue to heat up, shorts are not facing an ordinary rebound, but a trend of continuous capital absorption.
The most dangerous time for shorts is not when the price has already risen a lot, but when:
👉 More and more people are shorting
👉 The price refuses to drop
👉 Pullbacks are quickly caught by funds
👉 Short stops start to fuel the bulls
Once this structure forms, it easily leads to a chain reaction of short covering → price rising → more short stops → further rises.
So when looking at ZEC, you can't just ask "Can it keep rising after so much increase?" You also need to look at a key variable:
Who is selling, and who is buying?
If shorts keep increasing but the price stubbornly refuses to go down, that is the most alarming signal.$BTC BTC has already surpassed 80,000, and many people are completely confused about the market🔥
The Federal Reserve's rate hike is in place, the tone is hawkish, and there is room reserved for further hikes.
Logically: this is negative for risk assets, so the crypto market should fall.
But in reality: BTC directly holds above 80,000, the more negative the news, the stronger it gets.
Many are puzzled, so I'll explain the real logic:
1. The market trades on expectations, not the present
This rate hike has been fully priced in by the market
Everyone already knew about the 25BP hike
The negative impact was already priced in, so the actual event means the negative is fully out
In capital markets:
Negative news landing = capital dares to enter
Positive news landing = capital tends to exit
2. The core now: the rate hike cycle is nearing its end
Although the tone is hawkish, the market understands one thing:
This round of tightening is about to end
The crypto market doesn't trade current rates
It trades future easing expectations
Capital is positioning early for a rate cut scenario, hence the counter-trend rally.
3. Institutional ETFs provide a floor, the overall market structure has completely changed
Previously, crypto relied on retail sentiment
Now it relies on continuous net inflows from US stock spot ETFs
Institutional buying is steady, dips are buying opportunities
This leads to a resilient, ultra-strong market with a continuously rising base
4. The strongest technical signal: no drop on bad news is a big bullish signal
On the biggest day of rate hike negativity, no drop occurred; instead, it broke through 80,000
This is a typical strong bull structure:
The bears are exhausted, and the bulls are fully in control
Summary for the future
Is this a pump-and-dump, or a bull market reversal? $BTC $
