August core CPI came in at +0.3% MoM and markets have now priced in nearly 90% chance of a 25 bp hike this week. I personally expect the Fed to deliver that hike. Inflation is still sticky enough that they can’t afford to stay on hold but I don’t see this as the start of a long aggressive hiking cycle. More like a one-and-done or maybe two moves total to keep credibility. If the hike lands here’s how I see the reaction: BTC – short-term volatility and possible dip, but medium-term I stay bullish. Higher rates usually hurt risk assets initially yet Bitcoin has already priced in a lot of the hawkishness. Once the dust settles liquidity flows and ETF demand should support it again. Tech stocks – clearly bearish in the short run. Higher discount rates hit growth names hard. Nasdaq will feel the pressure. Gold – mixed to mildly bullish. Rate hikes are dollar-positive but any risk-off move or geopolitical noise can still push gold higher. My own plan: I’m holding my long-term BTC bag and adding on any sharp dips. No fresh long on tech until we see the reaction. Gold I keep as a small hedge. What do you guys think — one-and-done or the start of something bigger?

I’m not saying BTC will definitely fall to $45K–$50K, but personally, that’s a zone I would keep on my radar if the market turns seriously bearish. 📉
From what I’ve seen in crypto, the market rarely moves exactly the way everyone expects. When confidence is high, one sharp move down can change the mood very quickly. And when fear becomes extreme, that’s often when I start watching the market more closely instead of panicking.
If BTC loses major support and drops toward $50K or even $45K, ETH and BNB could also face heavy selling pressure. I wouldn’t be surprised to see volatility become crazy during that kind of move.
But honestly, I’m more interested in what happens after the fear.
If BTC reaches those levels, holds support, volume starts coming back and buyers begin stepping in, the whole picture could change. That could be the setup for the next big move. 💥
My simple thought:
$50K → fear 📉 $45K → patience 👀 Strong reversal → BOOM 💥 $100K+ → the bigger dream 🚀
Nothing is guaranteed. I’m just sharing how I’m looking at the market right now. DYOR, manage risk and never trade purely on emotion.
Sixteen years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper—compared to the ETH PoS chain today, it’s almost like a small workshop’s product. But his ideas were ahead by more than just 16 years $BTC
🚨 Bank of Japan raises rates to a 31-year high—what should BTC watch out for?
The Bank of Japan has raised its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25%, reaching about the highest level in roughly 31 years.
Many people think:
Japan hikes rates—what does that have to do with BTC?
In fact, the connection could be bigger than you might imagine.
For many years, Japan has been one of the world’s key sources of low-cost funding.
Now that Japan’s interest rates continue to rise, it means:
💴 The cost of JPY funding increases 💧 Global liquidity at the margin tightens 📉 Carry trades may adjust further ⚡ Short-term volatility in risk assets like BTC could be amplified
But what the market truly needs to watch isn’t just this one +25 bps move.
It’s:
Whether Japan is entering a sustained rate-hike cycle.
If Japan’s rates keep normalizing, on top of the high-rate environment in the U.S., global funding costs may rise further.
The market has been stuck in an up-and-down limbo lately, and many people feel awful—buying makes you fear it will drop, selling makes you fear it will rise, and holding on makes you feel like you’re wasting time.
Today, I won’t讲道理. I’ll just give you a “Bottom-Finding Market Survival Guide”—8 points, all practical:
1. Don’t go all-in, and don’t go to zero
The “bottom” isn’t a single point—it’s a range. Don’t think about “buying at the absolute lowest point,” and don’t assume “it’s going to drop more, so I should go flat first.” Build your position in batches: buy a little when it drops, don’t chase when it rises. Always keep some bullets, and always keep some position.
2. Keep your position size at 30%–50%
At this stage, going all-in is too passive, and going to zero is too anxious. Enter with 30% to 50%—you can be proactive without losing the ability to retreat. If it drops, you have money to add; if it rises, you won’t miss out by too much.
3. Only buy coins you’re willing to hold for three years
The bottom-finding phase is the most grinding—there may be weeks or even months without a rise. If you’re holding a trash coin, you won’t be able to hold it; a small dip and you’ll panic. Only coins with real value can help you get through the cycle.
4. Don’t touch futures (contracts)
Pin-like wicks above and below are common at this stage. Even if you’re right about the direction, you can still get liquidated. Futures are meant for trending markets. Using contracts in a range-bound market is basically giving money to the exchange.
5. Watch less of the charts; read more books
Staring at the screen every day only makes you emotionally volatile and itch to trade—there’s no real benefit. The best move in the bottom phase is to not trade: spend your time improving your understanding instead of constantly tinkering.
6. Don’t listen to those “trade me your buy/sell orders” callers
When it goes up, they say “I told you so.” When it goes down, they say “I reminded you earlier.” If they really had that ability, they’d be making money themselves—why would they be here to take you along?
7. Don’t compare returns with others
Other people’s coins rising has nothing to do with you. You just need to be responsible for your own money. If you envy how much others made, and you chase the highs, you’ll most likely end up trapped at the top.
8. Keep your living expenses safe
Never invest money you urgently need. Crypto cycles are measured in years. If your next month’s rent is already in there, you definitely won’t be able to hold.
In short, one sentence:
What matters in the bottom phase isn’t technical skill—it’s patience, position management, and mindset.
Whoever can make it through to the day the market turns—that person wins.
At 9 p.m. we’ll chat in the live chat about “how to allocate your position in practice” and “which coins are worth holding.” If you want to join, go to my profile.
$BTC is trading around $75.7K–$75.9K after coming under renewed selling pressure. The failed Senate vote on the CLARITY Act has added to the uncertainty.
Now the focus is on the Federal Reserve.
📌 Markets are pricing roughly a 90%+ chance of a 25 bps hike, which would take rates to 3.75%–4.00%.
But the bigger catalyst may be Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s guidance on future hikes.
⚠️ A hawkish outlook could keep pressure on BTC, while a less-hawkish message could shift attention toward a weaker dollar.
$BTC is at a critical decision point. 👀
What will matter more: the rate hike or Warsh’s guidance?
