$TOTAL3 needs to work itself back into structure, retest the lower rail and hold it. Price is close enough to the apex of this macro, ascending triangle that I think a break above it is imminent once it reestablishes price acceptance within it.
I agree with Brendan’s analysis! The charts are showing upside expansion as more likely with most assets.
Clarity and a Fed pause are simply narratives that will support what the charts are already saying!
Over the years I’ve had a number of people ask if I'd start a discord or how they can support the work I put into my charts, market analysis and posts here on X. I prefer to keep it simple and have all my analysis here versus creating a separate discord. I want to keep this strictly donation based versus a monthly fee:)
Since X ended the revenue share program, I set up a Ko-fi page for anyone who feels my work has helped them and wants to leave a donation.
No pressure at all as I appreciate everyone who reads, shares and engages with my work.

I think Trump just put Senate Democrats in a very difficult position on the CLARITY Act.
For months, one of the biggest Democratic objections has been ethics, particularly whether Trump should be able to personally profit from crypto while helping shape crypto policy.
Trump has now agreed to revised ethics language in the bill. That changes the political dynamic significantly because one of the most visible objections surrounding his own crypto involvement has now been addressed in the legislation.
Here’s where I think the bigger picture gets interesting.
I believe Trump’s meme coin may have ultimately helped force this entire issue into the open and that was the plan from the very beginning.
As a multi-billionaire, he certainly doesn't need a meme coin to make money. But the moment he launched one, Democrats immediately attacked the potential conflict of interest and pushed for restrictions on political figures participating in crypto.
Now look where that debate has led.
We have ethics language being added to major crypto legislation, and the issue is no longer just about Trump. It is becoming about whether politicians in general should be allowed to personally benefit from markets they have the power to influence.
Was that the strategy from the beginning? Due to how Trump is always thinking way ahead on the chess board, I think it was.
But I do believe the end result matters.
The controversy surrounding Trump’s own crypto involvement helped create pressure for rules that could ultimately apply much more broadly to people in government.
And this is happening at the same time the House has already passed the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would restrict members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from purchasing individual publicly traded securities and impose disclosure requirements surrounding sales. House Admin Committee
That, in my opinion, is good for We the People.
If elected officials are writing laws, setting policy and receiving information that can move financial markets, there should be strong safeguards preventing them from personally profiting from that position.
Now Democrats face a much more difficult decision on CLARITY.
The ethics argument looks very different now that Trump has agreed to language addressing the very conflict-of-interest issue they had been pushing.
And if they still vote against it, they will have to explain why they rejected a crypto framework after their biggest demand was incorporated.
That’s why I think Trump may have just turned their own argument back on them.
The chessboard just changed.

algorand:native is trading inside a similar, multi-week ascending triangle on the daily as litecoin:native. These are bullish structures when developing at structure lows.
After a year of intense daily bipartisan negotiations, this bill is ready. Here is the final text. President Trump voluntarily agreed to new ethics provisions holding every federally elected official, judge, and their spouses to some of the toughest ethics restrictions in U.S.
Taking everything else of the screen and leaving only a retrace fib chart and volume, this is the current rising, parallel structure $ZEC is trading within.
Everyone is talking about a Fed rate hike this week after PPI and CPI, but I’m looking at it a little differently.
The market is already pricing in a very high probability of a 25 bp hike. Yet after hotter inflation data and rising hike expectations, equities still managed to rally. That tells me a significant amount of the bad news may already be priced in.
Could we still see more weakness or another liquidity flush from Monday into Wednesday ahead of the Fed announcement? Absolutely. In fact, that wouldn’t surprise me at all.
But the bigger question is what happens after the announcement.
A 25 bp hike by itself may not be the bearish shock everyone expects if the market has already discounted it. What may matter much more is Warsh’s guidance afterward. One adjustment followed by patience is very different from signaling the beginning of another tightening cycle.
There’s also the political and macro side of this. #Trump has been publicly calling for lower rates, not higher ones, as we move closer to the midterms. At the same time, the White House has also said it supports Warsh’s independence as Fed chair.
That has me watching for other potential catalysts that could offset the effects of a hike:
Treasury actions, lower oil prices, geopolitical developments, fiscal or trade announcements, or some other liquidity event.
I’m not saying there is some secret announcement coming.
I’m saying I would not automatically assume:
Fed hikes = markets crash.
My scenario remains very much alive:
Monday–Wednesday weakness → Fed announcement → volatility/liquidity flush → potential sell-the-rumor, buy-the-news reversal.
I’ll be watching Treasury yields, DXY, oil and Bitcoin very closely going into Wednesday.
The reaction to the hike may ultimately be far more important than the hike itself.

I told you guys earlier that I thought I had found the Zcash blueprint. Here’s what I meant.
My analysis of the $ZEC chart alone had already given me a potential macro target around $1,700, with the 1.618 logarithmic Fib extension currently sitting near $1,760.
Then I overlaid an earlier Bitcoin structure onto Zcash. Look at the geometry. I’m not comparing dates or timeframes.
Markets are fractal, and algorithmic price structures can repeat across completely different periods. What interests me is the sequence and geometry of the price action.
Bitcoin appears to have already traveled a remarkably similar path to the one Zcash is traveling now.
And here’s where it gets really interesting:
Bitcoin’s corresponding major high aligns almost perfectly with Zcash’s 1.618 Fib extension, the same ~$1,700 area I was already watching from the ZEC chart alone.
If this blueprint continues to play out, I would also expect a significant correction coming, potentially bringing ZEC back toward the upper rail of its former macro ascending triangle before the next major phase.
This isn't about Zcash copying Bitcoin candle for candle. It’s about similar geometry, similar market psychology, and potentially similar algorithms.
Now we watch and see how closely the blueprint continues to track.

The oldest coin in the game is up to something.
$LTC is pushing privacy and smart contracts at the same time.
Litecoin, the digital silver, has been around forever, doing its thing in the background. But $LTC is reinventing itself right now, on two completely different fronts,
Absolutely! Great insight! This will not be a "stimulus check", big difference. Dividends are given to employees by profitable companies. Trump is turning the U.S. into a giant company via tariffs.
You've heard me talk about this many times. Charge foreign companies, via tariffs, for the rights to sell and manufacture their products in the number one consumer market in the world.
The career politicians would be clueless as to how to run a company and clueless as to how well this will work. We've been a tariff nation before and we were the wealthiest when we were.
The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 as a profit system for the elites to control and enslave the citizens of this country via DEBT! There can NEVER be a surplus in a debt based system, particularly when a majority of that is fraud. This is why they always kick the debt can down the road!
Words matter.
If you don’t understand why Trump and Bessent use the words “dividend” and “assets,” then you should look up their definitions.
They are doing it for a reason and have been using those two “words” since Trump was sworn in.
The people criticizing Trump for
Bessent is an absolute Viper! He knows what he's doing. The markets will be humming very soon! Listen to his last sentence:
"In my career I've made money ignoring the noise". (noise is just another word for narratives)
#LTC is basically one big ascending triangle on the daily. The measured move on this takes price to the macro structure midpoint (dotted line) and the macro .382 fib level if price breaks up, possibly on or just after the Fed announcement next Wednesday?
That's your primary catalyst if they hold or lower rates.
$ZEC is bouncing well, but I don’t think we’re completely out of the woods yet.
There’s still a very interesting 4H confluence developing below price, similar to what I'm seeing with $BTC.
The rising 200 SMA is also on track to meet the old $860–$900 resistance zone around the Sept. 15–16 window.
That creates a very logical retest area:
Previous resistance → potential support + rising 200 SMA + Fed catalyst
That’s inter-market confluence, and I pay attention when multiple major assets are lining up technically around the same macro event.
So while ZEC looks strong here, I would not rule out one more liquidity flush or retest into that support zone before the next major leg.
If that area gets tested and reclaimed quickly, I’d view it as very constructive.
#ZEC#Zcash#Bitcoin#BTC#Crypto#TechnicalAnalysis#FederalReserve
There’s an interesting setup developing on the $BTC 4H chart heading into the Fed decision next week.
The rising 200 SMA is on track to intersect almost perfectly with Bitcoin’s 9-year macro trend support around the Sept. 15–16 window.
That gives us a major area of technical confluence:
9-year trend support + 4H 200 SMA + Fed catalyst
I can absolutely see a scenario where Bitcoin drifts or flushes lower into that zone before the Fed, tests the confluence, and then reacts strongly if the decision is received positively.
What I’d want to see:
Bullish: touch/sweep of the confluence, followed by a quick reclaim.
Bearish: sustained 4H closes below both the 200 SMA and the 9-year trend line.
This could become one of the most important BTC levels on the chart over the next several days.
