📉 FOMC meeting & Powell: markets’ fate on the line

▶︎ #NEWS

📅 September 17 at 2 p.m. ET” (Eastern Time) corresponds to 18:00 UTC.

That’s it, main event of the week - FOMC meeting. Everyone watching the rate and waiting for Powell’s words. Tbh, his speech can set the vibe for late 2025 and even 2026 🚀

▫️ Focus on long-term bonds yields (10-30Y).
▫️ If they climb - hello FUD, risk assets bleed.
▫️ And the dollar - weaker it gets, more room for risk-on.

🔹 Basically, we need a combo: calm bonds, no dollar pump.

😎 BigRay: “Simple. Rates + dollar up - markets down. Pause + weak dollar - uptide. Don’t look for magic, watch the facts.”

🌊 My thoughts & the market

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

Markets are stormy but I don't hang my head. Cycles never die. Something juicy will pop anyway.

Lately, there were fat plays like $STBL on $BSC and $PORTAL. I spotted them early. Wallets were aping but I was busy and didn't push. The result was that profit passed me by.

The day before yesterday, $HYDX was also a shot. But I picked Rocket League over charts. Laziness costs.

Right now I closed most trades. I'm not playing the guessing game. The plan is to wait for either a hype setup or a calm, clear market.

😎Missed play is not the end of the world. Much worse — ape into a shady project and get rugged. Patience is also a strategy.

📉 Fed today

▶︎ #NEWS

At 18:00 UTC - rate decision. Market pricing 94% odds for -25 bps, 6% for -50 bps.

Key is not the print but Powell. If he hammers on inflation - derisk. If he hints labor and demand are cooling - markets get a positive buffer until CPI.

But inflation ahead may still bite (Trump tariffs remain).
Seasonality favors bulls: October-November are often strong, and year-end brings a “Santa rally” setup.

Baseline: positive tone today, but the real challenge is still coming.

😎: One meeting won’t settle the cycle. Data and dollar are the real drivers.

📉 Fed: meeting recap

▶︎ #NEWS

As expected — rate cut by 25 bps.

⚡️ Powell’s key points:
• Inflation picked up but risks look softer.
• Economy holding, consumer weaker.
• Unemployment low, labor market shaky.
• Tariffs still biting, and will for a year.
• -50 bps not supported, no rush for fast cuts.
• 10 of 19 see ≥2 cuts this year.
• AI oddly cited as a hiring slowdown factor 🤖
• Balance sheet shrinking slow, reserves still fat.

Market went full rollercoaster. Some wins, some tiny losses. In on-chain the rule is simple — survive first. I closed most positions before Powell’s speech. Now waiting: either calm setup, or a fresh banger.

😎 -25 bps isn’t a Moon ticket. Just a checkmark. Hunt begins when weakness is clear.

🤖 Payment protocols, BSC & fresh narratives

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

🔥 Two hypes in focus:

x402 (Coinbase) → open standard for instant stable payments over HTTP. Revives 402 “Payment Required”: request → server says pay → send stable → get access.
AP2 (Google Cloud) → protocol for AI agents. Lets them pay for services (cards, banks, crypto) safely, no hacks.

⚡️ Twist: x402 plugged into AP2.
Means AI can pay in stables for APIs, content, services. Narrative brewing - first mover $MRDN already spotted.

📈 BSC vibes: mini-season loading…

$ASTER → Hyperliquid competitor from CZ, Binance & Yzi.
$APX → perp trading platform.
$STBL → Stablecoin protocol.

👀 Binance likely has plans for $ASTER - main PerpDEX on BSC. Could be CZ shill + campaign announcements ahead. He loves to stir the pot, so expect noise (and maybe opportunity).

😎Coinbase + Google push standards. If adoption comes — that’s a global crypto-payments protocol. BSC? Always noisy. The game is spotting trend vs hype.

💸 M0N3Y → ZERA: private cash on-chain

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

So, there’s this project — Monopoly Money (M0N3Y). The idea slaps: digital cash that works like real cash, but in crypto. Private, smooth, even offline.

How it works:

• ZKP, Pedersen commitments & nullifiers — anonymous but verifiable transactions.

• Secure enclaves — keys stored in hardware, not clouds.

• Offline transfers via NFC/QR — later synced with Solana.

Why it’s buzzing:
Privacy in crypto has always been a hot topic. Suddenly, a geek shows up with a concept that clicks. Degens love it, community is pushing, but Solana Foundation stays silent.

Fun fact: the M0N3Y dev is followed by Toly (Co-Founder of Solana Labs). Plus, Solana founders and core people keep stressing privacy as a must-have and are open to backing projects in this lane. ZERA clearly has a shot here.

Recently they rebranded: M0N3Y → ZERA.
Rumor says “Monopoly Money” was a no-go legally, so they couldn’t officially shill it. Hence the clean name swap.

My take — if Solana Foundation starts mentioning ZERA after rebrand, that’s a banger.

😎 Name is marketing. Core is tech. Don’t confuse the label with the substance.

🎯 Do you learn from your mistakes?

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

On-chain is not just profits, it’s emotions wrecking your stack.
Even smart vets burned half their bags on trash like $YZY or $LIBRA. Not skills. Emotions.

👁 A buddy once told me: you’ve got 2 bullets a day. Before you shoot — be sure. That thought stuck.

Now my way is simple: no fresh pairs, no apes without a thesis, keep a journal of trades. I filter the noise, size my bets (gamble / normal / big) based on confidence.

Small losses, big wins. That’s survival.
Better 2 shots a week than 1000 random clicks.

😎Emotions = enemy. Discipline = weapon. Fail to control = sooner or later you’ll hit zero.

🐼 BSC more alive than ever

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

Degens’ mood right now:
BSC gave more money plays in a week than Sol did in a year.

Cz pulled a real crime🔪
After the whole Broccoli dog saga, most traders didn’t fully trust his words that he could compete with Hyperliquid. But those who believed - got rewarded big. Market once again punished doubt and paid out conviction.

Those who aped - got fat bags. Those who sat aside - biting elbows now.

What’s next?
• accept it and move on. Liquidity never stays forever, it flows
• watch for the next hype wave. My bet: robotics narrative autumn – winter
• BSC has a strong candidate for that - $Rice

😎 Regret is dead capital. Rotate your focus. Narratives pay faster than hindsight.

Thanks 👾RayBot for the 8x.

And for everyone reading — don’t chase signals, learn to spot them yourself.

🚀 40х on Giggle

▶︎ #LittleRayNote

That was the play. Exactly the one I was waiting for.
It had everything:

• strong thesis
• Liquidity in BSC
• smart wallets jumping in

RayBot gave the call super early. 3 mins of research - bag packed.
Without a navigator on-chain, you’re lost. Tracking smarts = a jungle map. Alone you won’t cut through.

😎 Want profit? Work.
