Hey it’s Crypto Willy with the latest from The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show—let’s dive right into the wild ride we’ve seen this week!

You thought September would wind down quietly? Not in crypto land! Bitcoin, our digital gold, kicked off this week swinging wildly—first stabilizing around $116,000, then tanking beneath $112,000 in a flash crash that set off over a billion dollars in liquidations. That event was the largest single liquidation wave of the year, sending leveraged traders scrambling and shaking up everyone’s nerves. Some folks out there—think veteran traders like Mike Novogratz—are betting we could see a test of $100,000 before bulls tap back in. Others, still riding high from Bitcoin’s all-time record set earlier this month at over $150,000, are just waiting for that $120,000 zone to get reclaimed, hoping to see a fresh rally.

Ethereum, meanwhile, hasn’t avoided the storm either—it broke down from a big consolidation, and the price nudged the critical $4,000 zone. That’s got a lot of the ETH fam, especially those staking and playing with DeFi, watching support at $4,062 and resistance at $4,458 as they pin their hopes on a decisive bounce or, if not, brace for wider altcoin pain.

Let’s not ignore the altcoins—Solana’s been a real standout, hovering above $900 and looking mighty resilient, while ASTER, JUP, and Fetch.ai (FET) are trying hard not to break down beneath their supports. It’s a sign that even with Bitcoin’s dominance just below 57%, more investors are poking around the ecosystem, trying to find that “next big thing” before the mega caps settle down.

What’s driving all this? There’s a tug-of-war going on: bullish momentum’s coming from ETF inflows (thanks to big dogs like BlackRock and Fidelity putting Bitcoin on the map for mainstream investors), but macro jitters—like Jerome Powell’s latest comments, surging dollar strength, and whispers about inflation—are increasing caution. A ton of market eyes are on upcoming central bank meetings and inflation prints for what’s next.

On the regulatory front, U.S. rulemakers are making waves again. The SEC is hinting at more open stances toward crypto ETFs and clearer DeFi guidelines, and that’s lifting industry spirits—especially after updated policies recently encouraged more secure and transparent trading. Plus, global economic pressures—like anticipated interest rate cuts—have institutions building huge Bitcoin positions for long-term shelter.

Here’s the kicker: despite the crazy volatility, blockchain analytics shows over a million active Bitcoin addresses daily. That means, for all the swings, fundamentals are strong and the network’s as lively as ever.
