Bitcoin uptrend retests $117,000, underpinned by steady ETF inflows and optimism ahead of a widely expected Federal Reserve interest-rate cut. Ethereum lags recovery despite holding support at $4,500, reflecting downturn in ETF inflows. XRP falls toward the $3.00 support level, but a relatively high Open Interest suggests the short-term bullish potential remains intact. Bitcoin (BTC) exhibits subtle bullish potential, trading marginally below $117,000 at the time of writing after pulling back from an intraday high of $117,286. The uptick in price can be attributed to several factors, including steady United States (US) Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) inflows and growing optimism that the Federal Reserve (Fed) could deliver an interest rate cut later on Wednesday. The rest of the cryptocurrency market remains on edge, with Ethereum showing stability above its $4,500 support but lacking immediate catalysts for a steady rebound toward the $4,956 all-time high. Meanwhile, interest in Ripple (XRP) remains relatively high, with the futures Open Interest holding above the $8 billion mark.  Data spotlight: Bitcoin bulls eye short-term breakout as ETF inflows steady Institutional demand for Bitcoin through ETFs has steadily increased since September 8. SoSoValue data shows that BTC ETFs extended the inflow streak for seven consecutive day with approximately $292 million net streaming in on Tuesday.  If demand for Bitcoin ETFs increases in the coming days and weeks, it will back the coin's bullish potential for a breakout toward its record high of $124,497.5 reached on August 14. Ethereum, on the other hand, is experiencing a slowdown in ETF inflows, suggesting that risk-off sentiment is taking hold as the token approaches its record high. Outflows from ETH spot ETFs in the US averaged nearly $62 million on Tuesday, marking a break in a five-day streak of inflows into these products.  Persistent outflows or suppressed inflows could dampen Ethereum's short-term bullish case. ETF performance is worth monitoring, considering the role institutional demand played in the most recent rally to $4,956. Meanwhile, retail demand for XRP remains relatively high, with the futures Open Interest (OI) averaging at $8.47 billion on Wednesday, up from $7.37 billion on September 7. A steady OI, referring to the notional value of outstanding futures contracts, indicates that more traders are betting on short-term price increases in XRP. As risk-on sentiment improves, the path of least resistance remains upward, increasing the chances of the XRP price breaking out to its record high of $3.66, reached on July 18. Chart of the day: Bitcoin upholds bullish structure  Bitcoin trades between an intraday high of $117,286 and a low of $116,160 at the time of writing on Wednesday, ahead of the much-anticipated Federal Reserve interest-rate decision. The consensus is for a 25-basis-point cut, which would bring the interest rate in the US to a range of 4.00% to 4.25%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, the odds stand at 96% in favor of a 25 bps cut.  Lower interest rates often encourage investment in riskier asset classes, such as cryptocurrencies and equities. Therefore, lower rates could boost investor interest in digital assets in the fourth quarter. Investors should consider the daily chart's bullish Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) when trading Bitcoin. A buy signal, which occurs when the blue MACD line crosses and remains above the red signal line, has remained active since September 7 and supports a bullish outcome in the short term. The steady recovery of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) from 37 to 60 in late August indicates that bullish momentum is building. Higher RSI readings, approaching overbought territory, underpin rising demand for BTC as the price rebounds. Still, traders should temper their bullish expectations until BTC confirms the direction of the trend following the Fed's interest-rate decision. A correction below the $116,000 level could bring the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $113,650 and the 100-day EMA at $111,492 within reach. Altcoins update: Ethereum, XRP struggle near key support  Ethereum holds around the $4,500 level, following nearly a 6% pullback from its previous week's peak of $4,766. The downtrend in the RSI, from 64 to 54, implies fading bullish momentum. If the RSI extends the pullback below the midline, the chances of Ethereum sliding to test the 50-day EMA at $4,211.56 would increase significantly. Still, Ethereum buyers could defend the bullish case if a significant reversal occurs from the short-term $4,500 support. From here, the next key level is the area around $4,800, leading up to the record high of $4,956. As for XRP, it remains above $3.00 after correcting from last week's high of $3.186. The RSI at 53 is pointing toward the midline, which supports a scenario where bullish momentum continues to fade ahead of the Fed interest-rate decision. In addition to the demand at the $3.00 mark, reinforced by a descending trend line, the 50-day EMA at $2.947 is poised to absorb the selling pressure if the pullback persists. Beyond this level, the 100-day EMA at $2.821 and the 200-day EMA at $2.574 could prevent a full-blown sell-off. Still, the MACD indicator backs XRP's short-term bullish case, maintaining a buy signal since September 8. Investors will consider increasing their exposure to XRP with the blue MACD line remaining above the red signal line. Bullish targets are the $3.35 level, which was previously tested on August 14, and the record high of $3.66. $BTC $ETH $XRP

$ZKC $1.80 to $0.79 just one day after its mainnet launch. Airdrop-driven selling and heavy exchange trading activity fueled the decline. Volume surged to $1.24 billion, but falling prices alongside rising activity point to strong selling pressure. Boundless Airdrop Sparks Sell-Off Boundless ($ZKC ), a protocol built to bring zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to every blockchain, officially launched on September 15, 2025. The project allows independent prover nodes to generate ZK proofs for Layer 1s, applications, and rollups across multiple chains — an ambitious step toward universal ZK adoption. The mainnet launch also introduced $ZKC , the project’s native token, with 1 billion total supply and 200 million tokens released into circulation — including allocations for early-adopter airdrops. At launch, ZKC initially spiked to $1.80, but within 24 hours, the price collapsed to $0.79. Analysts attribute the sharp decline to: Airdrop recipients offloading tokens Increased trading activity across major exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, and Bybit Trading volume hit $1.24 billion, indicating significant market interest — but the simultaneous price drop confirms that sellers outweighed buyers during this period. $ZKC Price Outlook: Still Unclear ZKC remains in price discovery mode, with markets attempting to establish a fair value through heightened volatility. On the 30-minute chart, ZKC has printed multiple red candlesticks before showing its first green candle — an early signal that buyers may be attempting to absorb the sell pressure. Upside Scenario: If buyers gain momentum and breach the $0.83 resistance, ZKC could target $0.91, with the potential for a retest of $1.00 on strong demand. Downside Risk: If selling pressure persists, a break below $0.78 support could push ZKC toward $0.50, extending the downtrend. Bottom Line $ZKC ’s sharp post-launch decline highlights the risks of airdrop-driven price action. While the project’s fundamentals and technology

Optimism ( $OP ) continues to respect its long-term ascending channel, with price moving closer to the lower boundary support zone. Market participants now turn their focus to this area as the next decisive move is expected to unfold. Optimism Trades Within a Defined Channel Optimism ($OP) has been trading inside a clear ascending channel since early June, with both upper and lower boundaries consistently respected. This technical framework has provided a reliable structure for price swings across the daily chart. The token is as of writing, valued at $0.7465, reflecting a 7.26% decline over the past 24 hours. Over the past week, $OP recorded a smaller loss of 0.59%. Daily trading volume reached $184,097,063, showing that activity around this price area remains elevated. Rejection occurred recently near the channel’s mid-level resistance around $0.82–$0.85, shifting market attention to the lower boundary at $0.71–$0.72. This level has now become the crucial area where traders are closely observing market reaction. A rejection at the mid-level has redirected price toward the channel’s base. According to the analysis, a confirmed breakdown below the trendline would indicate weakness and create opportunities for short entries. Technical levels support this caution. The EMA (9) is positioned at $0.76, while the SMA (50) aligns at $0.73, creating a zone where structural support converges with moving average dynamics. A loss of this zone could change the prevailing bias. Potential Scenarios Ahead for $OP If $OP successfully rebounds from the channel’s bottom, bullish momentum may be restored. The first target in such a scenario would be the midline resistance near $0.85, followed by the channel top between $0.95 and $1.00. However, momentum indicators show rising challenges. Recent red candles point to increased sell pressure, while trading volume suggests weaker participation from buyers compared to earlier rallies. This may limit the strength of any rebound. Failure to hold the channel base and the 50-day SMA would weaken the bullish case. A confirmed breakdown could expose $0.65 as the first downside level, with further risk extending to $0.60. Traders remain cautious as $OP approaches this defining test.

$ENA is trading in red, extending its weekly losses to over 16%. More importantly, this pullback has placed the token at a critical support zone that could either trigger a rebound or open the door for deeper declines. Ascending Triangle Pattern in Play ? On the daily chart, ENA appears to be forming a classic ascending triangle — a bullish continuation pattern that typically signals the potential for an upside breakout. After multiple rejections from the upper resistance line at $0.87, ENA has now pulled back to around $0.67, testing the ascending support trendline. This level is crucial, as a successful bounce from here would reinforce the bullish structure and could set the stage for another breakout attempt. What’s Next for ENA ? If ENA holds its support trendline near $0.67, buyers could step in and drive the token higher toward the upper resistance around $0.85. A breakout above this resistance could then trigger a stronger rally, keeping the bullish continuation pattern intact. On the other hand, a decisive drop below this support line would weaken the setup and could lead to a bearish double-top formation. In that scenario, ENA might fall back to the next key support levels at $0.62 and $0.5169, near its 100-day moving average.
