$BTC & $ETH — THE REBOUND FACES A NEW TEST
$BTC bounced from $76K, while $ETH moved from $2.44K. But with the CLARITY Act vote approaching, both have returned to those key zones as the market waits for a fresh catalyst.
$BTC $77.26K remains above the $76.68K Supertrend. $ETH $2.48K holds $2.45K but stays below the $2.51K MA20.
If CLARITY brings momentum and buyers defend these levels, old resistance could become new support.
Old levels, new catalyst — who keeps the edge?
In six days, it got listed on six exchanges, but the trading volume shrank by 92%. I've never seen a token play out like this!
$CP has only been listed for 14 days... Oh my god, the trading volume directly collapsed from $13.3 million to $1.1 million, a 92% drop. A price drop isn't scary, but no volume is! It's a typical case of only selling, no buying...
The airdrop on September 2 and the TGE happened simultaneously. Coinbase, OKX, and KuCoin opened trading that day, and on September 8, Upbit launched three pairs: KRW, BTC, and USDT—covering six exchanges in six days! Despite such concentrated positive news, the price kept falling: closing at 0.0176 on September 8, 0.0135 last night, and 0.0129 today.
Why is this happening?
Because the speed of $CP buyers can't keep up with the speed of exchange openings. 40.38% of the tokens are zero-cost airdrops, so every new exchange opening is like giving them another exit to sell!
The candlestick chart tells it more directly: in 14 days, there were 10 bearish candles and 4 bullish ones, with each rebound lower than the last. On September 14, the lowest price already touched 0.0123.
More importantly, in 14 days, it hasn't even formed an MA20—the token hasn't even grown a moving average, meaning it has no value anchor, and the price is entirely driven by token holders.
I dare to guess that this round of positive news is about supply, not demand. Before demand arrives, every rebound is just a selling window for airdrop players. If 0.0123 breaks, it will continue to drop sharply!
The higher the probability of a rate hike, the less I want to short Bitcoin here????
I reanalyzed the August CPI and PPI.
PPI year-on-year is 5.4%, CPI year-on-year is 3.4%. Just looking at these two numbers, the Fed raising rates by 25 basis points makes complete sense. But gasoline in the CPI rose 3.9% month-on-month, contributing more than one-third of the overall monthly increase, and the core CPI year-on-year actually dropped from 2.5% to 2.4%.
This indicates that inflation is indeed high, but a large part of the pressure this time comes from energy.
At the July meeting, three voting members already advocated for a rate hike. If the Fed really raises rates by 25 basis points in September, the market won’t be too surprised. What’s unclear now is whether they will continue to raise in October and whether the Fed will describe this action as the start of a new round of hikes.
As of my data check on September 15, BTC traded between 77378 and 79600 in 24 hours, ETH between 2488 and 2615. Both are fluctuating back and forth; the rate hike expectations are being priced in early, but the direction hasn’t been decided yet.
If the decision causes an initial drop but BTC can recover 77378 afterward, I will continue to expect an upward trend after consolidation. If it falls below and can’t recover, and the 10-year Treasury yield stays near 5%, then we need to be cautious about this round continuing downward.
For now, I’m not shorting.

#本周FOMC揭晓，加息能否落地？

Why isn't $DOGE rising? Actually, there aren't that many flashy reasons; it's simply because there is no capital buying.
1. Retail investors aren't buying: Since early September, when on-chain whales' spot holdings rose to 108 billion DOGE, setting a historical high, there has been almost no retail buying in the past week, with basically outflows.
Retail investors are not only avoiding spot purchases but are even shorting. For example, last week's contract data shows contract holdings hit a record high of 16.3 billion DOGE, but mostly short positions, and 95% of liquidations that day were long positions.
2. Institutions aren't buying: A few days ago, Bitwise announced it would liquidate its DOGE spot ETF, which many have heard about. This reflects that institutions are not buying.
In 10 months, it only accumulated about $688,000 in net assets. What does this mean? On the 9th last week, $XRP's ETF had a single-day inflow of $12.29 million, more than the combined total size of the three DOGE ETFs in the entire market, which is $12 million.
This is the current situation of DOGE—very awkward. Without real money buying in, the price definitely can't go up. As for the recent talk about the DOGE-1 satellite landing being a negative factor, that is just a short-term fluctuation.

These altcoins with high market caps right at the opening are really beasts.
Just checked FIL, it dropped from over 200 to 0.9 dollars, and me, lacking awareness, bought 500,000 at 90 dollars in 2021, finally got out at 180,000, losing 320,000. Holding it now is no different from it going to zero.
Arb and OP are the same. I also lost about 200,000. At 2 dollars, I even bought 200,000 worth. At 2 dollars, the total market cap was already 20 billion USD. Really not thinking straight.
Now when buying altcoins, if I see a high market cap, I just skip it altogether. Not just coins, whether buying gold, stocks, or houses, as long as the price is high, even if it's a good asset, I won't buy. I have to wait for it to drop before considering buying.
In this life, I've suffered losses from FOMO chasing highs, both in houses and altcoins. The money lost is enough for me to live comfortably for a lifetime, and I didn't even have high expenses to begin with.
$PENDLE is doing something the broader market isn’t.
While risk assets digest 5% U.S. yields and another Fed decision, $PENDLE has surged ~12% in 24h on $86M+ turnover.
The catalyst has substance: Pendle is now bringing yield markets to tokenized stocks, including NVDA and PFE, while cumulative PENDLE buybacks have passed 2.8M tokens.
This isn’t just a DeFi rotation. TradFi yield is becoming tradable on-chain.
$UNI
On September 15, in response to DEX aggregator 0x claiming that a large number of Uniswap v4 Hooks exhibit malicious behavior, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams replied: "This is a technical capability issue; do not route trades to malicious Hooks." He stated that the Uniswap team is willing to assist projects facing this problem and mentioned that v4 Hooks have already unleashed huge innovation potential. Hayden Adams also recommended developers use the Uniswap API, which provides the best market prices, avoids malicious Hooks, covers all Uniswap liquidity without extra fees, and supports cross-chain trading and aggregation of external liquidity.
Is there still a chance to take advantage of this opportunity to pump the price a bit more????
The most easily misread moment in the meme sector is when the overall market stabilizes slightly and everyone thinks the sentiment coins will collectively take off. $PEPE is around $0.00000343, ranging intraday from 0.00000335 to 0.00000348, not even breaking the daily high. Declaring a new wave based on a single intraday surge is premature; the rise followed by a fall indicates someone is waiting to sell. $BONK is about $0.00000276, down over 10% this week, needing to first surpass 0.00000282; if it falls back to 0.00000269, the weakness remains. $TRUMP is around $2, slightly recovering today, but political news and potential supply risks make it different. If it can't hold 2.01, the rebound is just short-term; losing 1.93 requires watching for support. This week we still need to wait for the Federal Reserve decision; Monday's risk appetite may not continue until the news is released. To judge the sector trend, look for the first volume breakout, the second follow-up, and a shallow pullback; if only $TRUMP rises while $PEPE and $BONK remain flat, it's just isolated sentiment. Don't fear missing the first wave; fear mistaking others' sell-offs for your entry opportunity. Risk reminder: The above is market observation and does not constitute investment advice. Meme coins are highly volatile; please make decisions cautiously.
#SaudiOilPipelineDamaged Saudi Arabia's key oil pipeline struck September 10 — still offline, pump stations damaged, capacity out for weeks 🛢️💀
This isn't a minor disruption. The pipeline carries 2.6M-4.0M bpd and is the primary Hormuz bypass route for Red Sea crude. Yanbu port stocks cover only 5-7 days of exports. Up to 4% of global supply affected 📉
Then September 14: Houthi forces seized the Hanish Islands, raising shipping risk near Bab-el-Mandeb. Hormuz bypass damaged. Bab-el-Mandeb now threatened. Both major alternative routes under pressure simultaneously 👀
This is the energy supply shock scenario that was supposed to be the tail risk — and it's happening 🫠
Pipeline recovery timeline becomes the single most important variable for Saudi export capacity right now. Every week offline = more pressure on global crude pricing and inflation expectations 🔥
4% of global supply disrupted, both bypass routes compromised — how far does oil go from here, and does this force the Fed's hand on September rates? 👇
