I checked the latest available information from official sources and Binance market data before writing this. I would describe the setup as constructively bullish, but not guaranteed bullish going into Monday.
Bitcoin is holding around the $81K area. A Binance Square market snapshot from September 20 showed BTC at $81,256, while ETH was around $2,631. The same snapshot showed ZEC at $1,478.72, down 5.94% over the preceding 24 hours, which is important because ZEC has pulled back while BTC has remained relatively firm.
The bigger story is the Fed
The Federal Reserve raised its target rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00% on September 16. The decision was unanimous, and the Fed explicitly said inflation remains elevated.
Yet Bitcoin subsequently recovered above $80K.
That tells me the market is currently absorbing the rate decision rather than simply selling every risk asset because of it. But I would not call the Fed decision bullish by itself. Monetary conditions are still an important risk for crypto.
Tokenization is another major development
On September 17, the SEC issued a temporary, conditional Innovation Exemption concerning certain venues trading tokenized NMS stocks through permissioned automated market makers and liquidity pools.
Binance has also continued expanding its tokenized-stock infrastructure. Its official announcements list recent bStocks developments, including GoPro and Reddit trading pairs, additional tokenized securities as collateral, and dividend-distribution support for several bStocks.
For me, this is one of the more interesting narratives going into the new week: crypto is not only about coin prices anymore; tokenized traditional assets are becoming an increasingly important part of the blockchain story.
What I’m watching Monday
BTC: Can the $80K area continue acting as support?
ETH: Can ETH maintain the recovery around $2.6K?
ZEC: After the pullback, can buyers reclaim the higher levels? I would watch the $1,500 area first rather than assuming another immediate vertical move.
Altcoins: If BTC remains stable rather than sharply accelerating, I’ll be watching whether capital rotates back into selected altcoins.
My view
I’m leaning cautiously bullish on the short-term structure, but I don't want to call Monday’s direction a certainty.
The cleaner confirmation for me would be BTC holding above $80K and reclaiming/holding the recent highs, while altcoins begin recovering alongside it.
If BTC loses $80K decisively, that bullish scenario needs to be reassessed.
Monday watchlist:
BTC — $80K support
ETH — $2.6K area
ZEC — recovery after pullback
RWA — tokenized-stock development
Fed — rate/liquidity expectations
