Trading activity remained tepid throughout the day. **Ethereum** wiggled in the range between $4,580 and $4,680, even as the coin's trading volume dived 16% in the 24-hour period. The two blue-chip cryptocurrencies have had a steady September, with Bitcoin up 6.2% and Ether up 4.95%. Over $277 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with $195 million in bullish long bets wiped out. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s open interest dropped 1.11% in the last 24 hours to $82.90 billion. Over 50% of Binance futures traders with open BTC positions were long as of this writing. The market sentiment switched back to "Neutral," according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index. **Top Gainers (24 Hours)** The global cryptocurrency market capitalization stood at $4.02 trillion, contracting 1.08% in the last 24 hours. ## Traders Await Fed Meet On Rate Cuts Stock futures traded slightly lower overnight Sunday. The **Dow Jones Industrial Average** Futures fell 12 points, or 0.03%, as of 8:40 p.m. ET. Futures tied to the **S&P 500** dipped 0.04%, while **Nasdaq 100 Futures** lost 0.07%. These moves follow a solid week for stocks, with the **S&P 500** and **Nasdaq Composite** rallying 1.39% and 1.32%, respectively. The Federal Reserve is set to decide on the interest rates later this week, with traders pricing in a 96% chance that the central bank would slash rates by 0.5%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. ## What To Expect For Bitcoin As FOMC Nears Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader **Killa** highlighted the upcoming Fed meeting as an important pivot point for Bitcoin. "BTC often prices in FOMC ahead of time. Early downside into the week suggests a rebound up, while early upside points to a likely pullback," the analyst remarked. Cryptocurrency commentator **Cas Abbé** projected Ethereum's short-term dip before a rise to $10,000 within 3-4 months, supported by increasing ETF inflows and treasury purchases. _Photo Courtesy: Travis Wolfe on Shutterstock.com_ - **Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-Only Prophecy Not Aging Well As Wall Street Embraces $27 Billion In Ethereum ETFs, Buzz Builds Around XRP And Even Dogecoin** ### Related Stocks - [Grayscale Ethereum Staking ETF (ETHE.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHE.US.md) - [BTC/HKD (BTCHKD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCHKD.VAHK.md) - [BTC/USD (BTCUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTCUSD.VAHK.md) - [ETH/HKD (ETHHKD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHHKD.VAHK.md) - [ETH/USD (ETHUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ETHUSD.VAHK.md) - [DOGE/USD (DOGEUSD.VAHK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DOGEUSD.VAHK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Eightco Reports $326M Total Holdings Including 277.2M Worldcoin, $90M OpenAI Stake](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281191320.md) - [Mark Zuckerberg texted Elon Musk to offer help with DOGE](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280887963.md) - [Osprey Bitcoin Trust delays 2025 annual report filing, cites financial statement completion work](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281344737.md) - [BTC miners are collectively turning to Bitcoin.](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281160892.md) - [Peter Schiff Sounds Alarm On Bitcoin-Backed Mortgages](https://longbridge.com/en/news/280834905.md)
