The Fed meeting is finally here, and this time the market feels a little more nervous than usual.

#FedRateWatch August core CPI came in at 0.3% month over month, while traders are now putting close to a 90% chance on a 25bp rate hike this week.

So the hike itself may not be the biggest surprise anymore. What I’ll be watching is what comes next.

If the Fed treats this as a one-off adjustment, markets could take it in their stride. But if the message points toward more hikes, things could get tougher for risk assets. Higher rates and a stronger dollar can put pressure on BTC, tech stocks and gold.

For Bitcoin, I think the reaction will depend less on the 25bp number and more on how traders interpret Powell’s message.

A hike is already close to being priced in. The real move could come from the expectations for the next meeting.

That’s where I’ll be looking for the signal not just the headline decision.

$BTC $LSK $AIN

$ZEC is looking weak on the short-term chart. After getting rejected near 1,224, price has been making lower highs and drifting toward 1,140.

For me, 1,133–1,137 is the key area now. If buyers defend it, we could see a bounce back toward 1,152 and above. But losing that zone would make the current structure more bearish.

$ASTR had a powerful breakout from the 0.006 area, quickly reaching 0.009401. Since then, price has been cooling off with lower candles and is now consolidating around 0.00728.

The interesting part is the volume: the initial breakout had a major volume spike, but volume has faded during the pullback. For me, this is a wait-for-confirmation setup rather than a chase.

$AIN is still holding strong after that explosive move. Price pushed up to 0.16165, pulled back sharply, and is now stabilizing around 0.1408 instead of losing the whole breakout.

The candles are getting tighter after the volatility spike, so this feels like a decision area now. If buyers keep defending the current range, another push toward the recent high could come into play.

$CAP made a sharp breakout from the 0.045 area and pushed all the way to 0.07150. Now the momentum is cooling, with several red candles pulling price back toward 0.061.

The move is still strong overall, but this is where I’d watch the reaction carefully. If buyers step back in, the trend can regain momentum; if selling continues, the pullback could deepen. I wouldn’t chase this after a +33% move.

AI is entering an interesting phase 🔥🔥

For years, the AI race was mostly about who could build the biggest and fastest model. Now some of the biggest names in the industry are talking about something very different: whether the pace itself needs to slow down.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for a more cautious approach to frontier AI development, arguing that safety and alignment work need to keep pace with rapidly improving capabilities.

What makes this more interesting is that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has also ruled out an IPO in 2026 and avoided giving a firm timeline for going public, pointing to the importance of safety and alignment work. He has also expressed agreement with the broader idea of being careful about the pace of frontier AI development.

That tells me the conversation is changing.

This isn’t about stopping AI. Companies still have enormous incentives to keep building. But as models become more capable, the cost of getting something wrong becomes harder to ignore.

Maybe the next big $AI competition won’t just be about who moves fastest.

It could be about who can move fast without losing control.

$ARK had a strong run from 0.1295 to 0.2130, but the chart is now showing a pullback after rejection from the top. Price is around 0.1796, with the latest candles showing sellers stepping back in.

The key for me is whether buyers can stabilize this pullback. Until the price regains momentum, I’d stay cautious rather than chase after the earlier rally.

$AIN has made a sharp breakout from the previous range, pushing up to 0.11497 before cooling off around 0.1005.

What I like here is that price is still holding above 0.0966 despite the pullback. If that area stays intact, the structure can remain constructive; a reclaim of 0.1070 would be the next sign of renewed strength.

$CVC is showing a strong push after spending time near the lower range. Price has moved up to around 0.0402, with the latest candles holding close to the highs rather than immediately giving back the move.

The volume spike during the breakout stands out to me. Now I’d watch how price behaves around 0.040—holding here would keep the current momentum looking healthy, while a deeper pullback would tell us how much strength is actually left in the move.

$POLYX just showed why chasing the first breakout can be risky. Price pushed aggressively from the 0.041 area to 0.0492, but the move was followed by a sharp rejection back toward 0.0415, with heavy volume confirming the volatility.

The key zone now is 0.0410–0.0415. Holding it could allow POLYX to stabilize and attempt 0.0433–0.0455 again, while a clean loss of 0.0410 would make the recent breakout look much weaker. For me, the reaction from this zone matters more than the initial spike.

$BTW is holding above the breakout area after a very volatile expansion. Price ran from around 0.54 into the 0.7380 high, then saw a sharp rejection and bounce, leaving 0.644–0.65 as an important near-term area.

At 0.6797, the structure is still constructive, but the volatility is high and volume has surged. A reclaim of 0.697–0.70 could open another test of 0.738, while losing 0.644 would increase the risk of a deeper pullback toward 0.59.

$LTC is getting another look from Wall Street.

Grayscale has taken another step toward turning its Litecoin Trust into an ETF, with an amended registration statement filed with the SEC on September 11. The filing outlines plans to rename the trust as the #Grayscale Litecoin Trust ETF and list the shares on NYSE Arca once the registration becomes effective.

What I find interesting here isn’t just the ETF headline. It’s what this says about the direction of the crypto market.

Bitcoin and Ethereum opened the door for regulated investment products. Now other large-cap assets are getting their own shot at reaching traditional investors through familiar market structures.

Of course, a filing isn’t the same thing as approval, so I wouldn’t treat this as a guaranteed catalyst for #LTC

But it does put #Litecoin back into the institutional conversation.

If the #etf path moves forward, the bigger question becomes whether investors actually want exposure to $LTC through a regulated exchange-traded product.

For Litecoin, this could be less about one headline and more about gaining a new route into traditional portfolios.

Different asset. Different story. Same Wall Street door.

$FLOCK is showing a sharp change in momentum on the 15m chart. Price pushed from the 0.075 area into a fresh 0.08656 high, with the breakout candle also bringing a clear volume expansion.

Now it’s sitting around 0.08309 after a small pullback. I’m watching whether this holds above the 0.08107–0.08417 region and turns the breakout into a proper base, rather than immediately fading the move.

$ARK is holding its ground after a sharp expansion from the 0.15 area. The move pushed into 0.2082, followed by a quick pullback, but price has stabilized around 0.172 with the latest candles showing buyers still defending the rebound.

What stands out to me is the consolidation after that volatility spike. If ARK can regain 0.1747 and build above it, the recent high could come back into play; losing the 0.1559 area would make the structure look much weaker. For now, I’d watch how price behaves around the current range rather than chase the initial surge.

$STEEM is showing a cleaner structure after the sharp push higher. Price reached 0.08496, pulled back, and is now holding around 0.073, with the recent candles forming a tight range instead of immediately giving back the entire move.

For me, the important zone is around 0.0705–0.072. Holding this area keeps the short-term bullish structure intact, while a reclaim of 0.078–0.080 with stronger volume could bring the recent high back into focus. I’d rather wait for confirmation than chase the volatility here.

$LSK has gone through an extreme move today, from around 0.19 to a high near 2.37.

What stands out to me now is the cooldown. After that huge spike and rejection, price has settled around 0.82 and the candles are getting much tighter.

I wouldn’t chase a move like this. I’d rather see whether 0.80 can hold and whether volume starts coming back before thinking about the next direction.

$TMX looks interesting because the move has already happened, but the chart isn’t showing much follow-through yet.

It pushed up toward 0.037, got rejected, and has been making lower highs since. Now price is around 0.0333 after another drop.

I’m watching whether this small bounce can actually change that short-term rhythm, because right now sellers still look more in control.

$POWR caught my eye after that sudden breakout from around 0.054.

Price quickly pushed to 0.08577, and now it’s holding near 0.0795 instead of immediately giving the move back.

The volume spike was massive, so I’m not chasing it here. I’m more interested in whether this consolidation can hold above 0.073–0.074.
