What it means for traders

Wednesday’s Fed decision and the October 30 deadlines (Coinbase MiCA conversions, Brazil licensing, the Bank of Japan) are the near-term catalysts, while heavy supply near $82,500 could cap a quick bounce. EU users holding USDT on Coinbase should act before the cutoff. Two bot and app hacks in one day are a reminder to limit permissions and keep funds you do not trade off hot wallets.
