Odaily reports: Digital asset management company Grayscale stated in an analysis published on September 17 that the latest Federal Reserve rate hike is closer to a "mid-cycle adjustment" rather than a major monetary policy shift.The Federal Open Market Committee raised the target rate range by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4% on September 16, stating that the hike aims to bring inflation back to the 2% target in a more timely manner. Grayscale believes that this rate hike, along with a possible second hike later this year, is unlikely to cause major changes in the digital asset market.Grayscale noted that from March 2022 to July 2023, the Federal Reserve raised rates by a cumulative 525 basis points, with sustained tightening increasing returns on cash and yield-bearing assets and raising the opportunity cost of holding Bitcoin; the current environment, by contrast, is a single rate hike following years of hikes, cuts, and holding steady.Grayscale stated that the impact of rate hikes will vary by crypto business model. Stablecoin issuers could benefit from increased interest income on reserve assets, and higher yields on tokenized bonds and money market funds could also attract capital inflows into on-chain financial products. On September 17, Bitcoin briefly rose above $77,000, with short position liquidations in the crypto market reaching nearly $260 million during the rebound. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas posted on X platform that Bitcoin investors are generally younger, while gold investors tend to be older. As volatility and correlation with other assets stabilize, Bitcoin will see more adoption by large institutional capital; meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs have higher market attention and sales promotion capabilities, with dozens of wholesale institutions familiar with both the crypto and traditional investor markets educating investors about Bitcoin ETFs.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, the Salvadoran government's average cost for its BTC holdings is approximately $55,718, with a current unrealized profit of $162 million, a gain of 37%.
Odaily reports: Analyst Darkfost posted on X platform that Bitcoin has become trapped in a cost-basis standoff zone between $71,300 and $79,800. A similar situation occurred at the end of the 2023 bear market, when BTC was also rejected twice before breaking through the relevant cost-basis zone, suggesting the market may react in the near term. Darkfost noted that Bitcoin is still trading above the $71,300 "active supply cost basis," which represents the average cost of BTC in actual market circulation and could serve as important support. On the other hand, Bitcoin faces resistance at the $79,800 "invested capital cost basis," a level where BTC has been rejected multiple times before, likely because some loss-making positions chose to exit as they approached breakeven.

According to on-chain analytics platform Glassnode (@glassnode), Bitcoin’s price fell to approximately $76,000, breaking below the consolidation range maintained since late August and dropping roughly 1% below the “Realized Price” of $76,700. Despite multiple headwinds including the failure of the Senate’s CLARITY Act vote, sharp declines in altcoins, and rising expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes, the pullback has remained moderate. On-chain capital inflows turned negative for the first time on September 15 following 27 consecutive days of growth; U.S. spot ETFs recorded cumulative net outflows of approximately $334 million from September 8 to 14; the total stablecoin market cap stands at roughly $301 billion, down about 4% from its April peak with recent growth stalling; and publicly traded companies have net-purchased only about 5,900 BTC over the past three months, far below the 89,000 BTC bought in July 2025, with an average corporate cost basis of approximately $80,500 leaving them currently underwater. The options market shifted to bearish sentiment within hours of the voting results being announced. Max pain for the September 25 expirations sits at $72,000, with heavy call option concentration capping upside near $85,000. The order book shows thin bid liquidity below $68,000; should this range break decisively, subsequent key support levels would be the short-term holder cost basis at $71,300 and the on-chain support zone between $62,000 and $65,000.
According to Bitfinex Alpha, Bitcoin broke below the key support level of $77,100 on September 15, closing at $75,702 with a daily decline of 3.2%, marking its third consecutive closing lower after breaking through the recent range bottom. On that day, US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $450.4 million, with Fidelity FBTC seeing an outflow of $214.8 million and BlackRock IBIT recording an outflow of $161.7 million, accounting for 84% of total outflows. This marks the 14th-largest single-day net outflow in 2026. The downturn was driven by multiple factors: the failure of the CLARITY Act to advance, the 10-year US Treasury yield rising to 5% (for the first time since 2023), accelerated selling by short-term holders (exchange inflows surged sharply from 19,400 BTC to 33,100 BTC, of which 23,200 BTC were acquired at a loss), and foreign demand dropping to a historic low during the 20-year US Treasury auction. From a technical standpoint, BTC has fallen below the market average value of $76,500 and Strategy's average holding price of $75,412, leaving the average holder currently underwater. If the downtrend continues, key support levels below are $73,500 (cost basis for 3-6 month holders) and $71,300 (realized price for short-term holders). A rebound requires reclaiming $77,100 backed by significant spot trading volume.

CryptoQuant certified analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted in a post that CME FedWatch data indicates a 92.7% probability of the Federal Reserve raising rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting, potentially moving the target rate range to 3.75%-4.00%. In the seven rounds of initial rate hikes since 1988, the S&P 500 index declined five times six weeks later, with an average drop of 2.83%. The market has largely priced in this hike, with attention shifting to the future policy path; should the Fed signal a higher frequency of rate hikes or a longer duration of elevated rates, it could further pressure U.S. stocks and Bitcoin.
