It was the first decision under new Chairman Kevin Warsh, who said there had been rigorous debate before the vote and vowed the central bank would deliver price stability. A more hawkish Fed means tighter financial conditions, which tend to drain the liquidity that fuels risk assets like crypto. Stocks took the week’s news better, helped by a separate development. President Donald Trump signed an interim deal to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, putting the agreement into effect.

Legendary trader Peter Brandt has emerged as the main destroyer of market optimism, categorically stating that a reliable Bitcoin bottom pattern has “$NOT $NOT $NOT” been formed. While the crowd is celebrating a local rebound, the veteran technical analyst offers a sobering view of the chart. From his perspective, the current rise is not the beginning of a new bull rally, but only a technical move inside a local bearish corridor. US inflation validates Peter Brandt’s bearish Bitcoin setup Brandt’s sobering chart gets hard fundamental support from U.S. macro data. Fresh producer inflation figures show that PPI YoY jumped to…
Ethereum has staged an impressive recovery from the $1.5K support region, but the latest rally is now approaching a critical inflection point. The market is testing a major supply zone that could determine whether the rebound extends toward higher resistance levels or transitions into another period of consolidation. Ethereum Price Analysis: The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, $ETH remains within a broader descending channel and continues to trade below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. However, the recent price action has been constructive, with buyers successfully defending the $1.5K support zone and driving a strong recovery toward the $1.8K…

A failed Australian crypto trader who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering his mother has been given less than two days by the country’s Court of Appeals to prove he didn’t kill her to get his hands on a $1.2 million insurance payout. Andre Rebelo was found guilty in December 2024 of the 2020 killing of his mother Colleen Rebelo. A court found that he had killed her and staged her body to make her death look like natural causes. The West Australian reports that from September 16, Rebelo’s lawyers will have around a day and a…
Global financial crisis fears grow as bond yields hit 1998 levels and Bitcoin drops below $80,000
Is a global 2008-style economic crash nigh? And do current conditions resemble the early stages of a broader global financial crisis driven by debt costs, inflation pressure, and constrained policy responses? Those questions have become harder to dismiss because the pressure points are stacking in the wrong order: high sovereign yields, high public debt, an energy shock, sticky inflation, and stretched asset valuations. The world has echoes of 2008, but the policy setting is different. Banks are better capitalized than they were before the global financial crisis, and the Federal Reserve’s latest financial-stability work still points to areas of resilience…
ETHGas [$GWEI] extended its decline as weakening Ethereum network activity continued to pressure sentiment across the market. The token dropped 13.68% over the past 24 hours and traded near $0.148 at press time. Ethereum gas fees fell to just 0.10 Gwei across transaction speeds, reflecting one of the weakest demand environments in recent years.

Daily volume climbed 44.26% to $13.8 million, pushing the volume-to-market-cap ratio to 5.32%. This surge in turnover suggested traders actively repositioned during the sell-off…
