📊 $BTC 77,530 (+1.3%): back above 77K on a day Japan hiked Market Brief: September 18th, 2026 (Friday) $ETH 2,487 (+1.7%). Cap $2.67T (-0.7%), dominance 58.1%. Breadth: 49/2. 🔸 Spot ETFs added $159M on Thursday and the Bank of Japan's hike to 1.25% did not dent the bounce. 🔸 $NEAR is the liquid mover, +29% on $320M volume with open interest up 52% in a day. 🔸 Board leader is ONE, +63% on $40M, with shorts paying 0.42% funding every hour. My read: two rate hikes in two days and BTC is higher than before both. What I'm doing: watching whether 77.9K, halfway back from this year's drop, turns from lid into floor. Which holds into the weekend, BTC's 76K low or NEAR's spike? Numbers first, opinions second. Follow if that's your kind of feed. Data: Binance spot/futures, CoinGecko, as of 06:46 UTC.
