Bitwise forecasts that between 2026 and 2036, Bitcoin will generate an average annual return of 34.3% - which significantly exceeds the returns of any traditional asset class
Personally, I still believe in Bitcoin and expect it to perform roughly the same, even though this isn't exactly the best time for Bitcoin right now
Over 500 billion at the opening of the U.S. market
Investors staged a “relief rally” after Trump suspended the planned strikes on Iran.
All indices rose significantly today, but Bitcoin is once again lagging behind and showing weakness; for it to catch up with gold and the S&P 500, Bitcoin still has a long way to go. I think that after the Fed meeting and depending on how Bitcoin performs, we’ll have a clearer picture of what phase the crypto market is currently in.

We're bracing for a heavy flow of news and volatility. We have a big week ahead! A flurry of key earnings reports, the Fed rate decision, Apple's presentation, and, of course, just one week left until the election.
This week on robinhoodchain.lighter, I got a 16x multiplier on my live points on Friday - how did you guys do? My last week was better, even though I traded less.
We’ve been farming for 10 weeks now, and there’s still no clear information on when this event will end. This meme is dedicated to all crypto farmers.
Bryan Pellegrino’s reaction when asked when the second drop will be?
As someone who received a drop of 10,000 tokens from the @HyperliquidX project and later their Hypurr NFTs, and who then put in a lot of work and received a nice drop from @Lighter_xyz , I advise you to take a closer look at the entropy.io project. Based on my professional intuition and some insider information, this project truly deserves attention. I think that once Variational wraps up, I’ll focus all my attention on it. If anyone needs my referral link, send me a DM.
Two pieces of bad news didn't send the market tumbling
On September 15, the U.S. Senate failed to pass the Clarity Act
The next day, the Fed raised interest rates to 4%. This is the first rate hike since 2023
And today, at the opening of the U.S. market, Bitcoin rose 5%
Now we can say for certain that the market is resilient in this era
Things will likely be volatile today due to the Fed meeting, where a rate hike is expected. I might play around with options and buy positions in both directions.
U.S. Treasury bonds remain under heavy selling pressure; yields are rising, and buybacks are not helping. The U.S. needs new lenders.
Some people bought Hunter Biden’s “Laptop” token at a market capitalization of 200 billion dollars and are now watching its price plummet to 2 billion.
What other surefire ways to lose money do you know of? What was going through the minds of the people who bought a meme coin for more than the value of USDT is a mystery to me.
I earned most of my crypto income from ICOs and similar projects right at the start of my journey, and then I got heavily into airdrops. During the first meme season, I set aside a small portion of my deposit and successfully lost it; the only significant success I’ve had was through farming @MeteoraAG . What’s happening right now on the Robinhood Chain makes me want to try again to figure all this out. I’m thinking of coming up with an idea for a meme token that would be popular and win people’s hearts.
Regarding growth leaders. “Expensive things get more expensive.”
As I mentioned earlier, the top growth performers are always assets that generate real income from their protocols. The crypto market is maturing, and I don’t think we’ll ever see Bitcoin’s dominance fall significantly below 50% again.
There will be fewer and fewer random assets year after year. Now, playing the alpha game won’t be a mistake.
After some time, it’s clear that the market has rebounded, and the main asset has gained 21% from its local lows, with a variety of events serving as the main drivers of growth
On August 19, the U.S. Treasury announced that it would increase the maximum size of long-term bond repurchase operations from $2 billion to $4 billion.
On the same day, the White House resumed actively promoting the Clarity Act.
This positive news came on the heels of Bitcoin trading within a narrow range of approximately $61,000–$66,000 for about six weeks. During this time, a huge number of leveraged short positions had accumulated, and the market began to liquidate them.
In addition, from August 17 to 20, approximately $1.61 billion flowed into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, and about $509 million into Ethereum ETFs
Based on this, the market’s growth cannot be attributed solely to short-covering
It is important to understand that further growth is heavily constrained by the Fed’s benchmark interest rate, which stands at 3.75%. Tensions around the world—and particularly in the Strait of Hormuz—do nothing to help lower inflation, which means we may well see an interest rate hike. As always, everything will depend on macroeconomic data.
The market is undoubtedly active right now; the Fear and Greed Index stands at 80 and remains at high levels.
To confidently say that we have entered a bull market, we need to consolidate above the 86,000–87,000 level per Bitcoin, having moved past the zone of heavy selling, and—most importantly—we need stable spot demand.
The US Treasury began more aggressively purchasing long-term bonds, and the market perceived this as a new QE.
Crypto, as usual, is the first to react and squeezed BTC from $65,000 to $70,000 in the first two hours of the American trading session.
I wouldn't see any particular reason to celebrate yet. For now, we'll just have to watch and see.
