$BTC had climbed from below $78,000 on Sept. 3 and briefly traded near $82,000 on Friday before dropping back below $80,000. The reversal has left Bitcoin once again struggling to hold above $80,000, while its seven-day performance remains roughly flat. The move above $80,000 initially followed comments from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who indicated he could support keeping interest rates unchanged at the September meeting if incoming inflation figures continued to improve. Expectations for the Fed to leave rates unchanged rose following his remarks, helping Bitcoin and other risk assets recover. Demand from US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds provided…

The most recent information, however, suggests that Solana is regaining its momentum. Following a brief loss of the number one position in terms of daily DEX volume to Robinhood Chain, Solana recovered in less than 72 hours. It is now back above $2 billion per day in terms of DEX volume and is outpacing Robinhood Chain by a considerable margin. Source: Artemis Notably, the address activity tells a similar story. According to the Token Terminal data, Solana boasts around 10x higher active addresses than Robinhood Chain, which speaks of the network’s activity difference. In short, there is still no doubt…

The cryptocurrency maintained this range until 8:30 a.m. EST, when it suddenly plunged from just over $81,300 to $79,428 in less than 20 minutes.

The reversal also sent its market capitalization tumbling to $1.57 trillion, just hours after it surpassed $1.62 trillion. As expected, bitcoin’s sharp reversal caught long-position traders off guard. While short liquidations dominated before…

The privacy coin is currently on one of the most impressive runs in the crypto market, especially among older digital assets. $ZEC has risen 154% in the last 30 days and is up 2,413% on a one-year basis, according to CoinGecko data. The year-long rally has pushed Zcash’s market cap to $21.62 billion, retaining the privacy coin among the top ten cryptocurrencies. Three wallets, possibly belonging to the same whale, spent 3,700 $ETH ($9.23M) and 2M $USDC to buy 8,994 $ZEC ($11.23M).And they’re still buying.Wallets:0x83C0a25705E66890A36DFF67a7B4F67ad8cE7Dc10x7D38EAe1a032eA08eCA1730480fd81c52f062DCa… pic.twitter.com/6Krfkm7Yvf — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) September 9, 2026 Zcash’s current surge coincides with increased buying pressure…

The $78,500-$79,200 pocket was being defended, making it a significant short-term area. Failure at $78,000 would open a measured move toward the $76,567-$77,300 origin of the latest rally. On the other hand, holding above $79,400 and then $80,335 would improve the short-term picture. Bitcoin’s 4-Hour Chart Shows a Failed Extension The 4-hour chart makes the rejection much clearer, showing a single impulse from the mid-$76,000s to $82,281 followed by a high-volume reversal. That amounts to a failed extension on the 4-hour timeframe, but it has not developed into a confirmed daily trend break based on the daily moving-average set. $BTC/USD…

India’s $137B RBI Dollar Position Could Drive Bitcoin Prices in Rupees RBI’s net short dollar forward position hit a record high of $136.8B to $137B at the end of July 2026. The sharp increase was primarily due to the special swap facility on FCNR(B) deposits in USD/INR. Banks raised about $127.2B through those non-resident deposits, part of total inflows near $136.4B by the end of August, then swapped the dollars with the RBI. The RBI now has substantial future dollar obligations that could affect the USD INR exchange rate when these contracts mature or are managed. Meanwhile, changes in dollar…

That benchmark fell below 0.50% in 2020 during the COVID shock. It stood at only 3.97% before the United States and Israel attacked Iran, but the climb sped up after the conflict pushed oil prices higher and brought inflation fears roaring back. Inflation pushes traders to price a much tougher Federal Reserve Energy is contributing to the problem as well, with Brent crude going back over $105 per barrel, and diesel reaching all-time highs. This is a very bad time, because world diesel consumption is entering the season where demand grows by 2 million barrels per day. Truck drivers now…

The dispute didn’t end there.

The group has cited weakened shareholder rights, a “poison pill,” and related-party dealings. $SOL Price Rally Now Faces A New Risk The $SOL price has been climbing since mid-May after finding support near $60, which aligned with the…
