What to know:

  • Bitcoin rebounded from a sharp early selloff on Thursday to trade above $93,000 shortly after the close of U.S. stocks.
  • The late-day gain in bitcoin came alongside a rebound in the Nasdaq from big morning losses; the tech index closed with just a 0.25% loss.
  • Downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, said one analyst, but the market is not yet out of the woods.

Bitcoin BTC$93,087.73 clawed back to $93,000 on Thursday as traders digested the Fed decision, but altcoins mostly didn't join in the bounce.

Slipping to $89,000 after the Federal Reserve’s Wednesday rate cut and a sharply lower open for U.S. stocks, bitcoin recently was trading at $93,000, up marginally over the past 24 hours.

Altcoins mostly held onto their early losses, with Cardano's ADA ADA$0.4259 and Avalanche's AVAX (AVAX) leading declines, down 6%-7%. Ether ETH$3,259.04 was 3% lower on the day, holding above $3,200.

Bitcoin's late-day bounce came alongside similar action in U.S. stocks, with the Nasdaq managing to close down just 0.25% after being as much as 1.5% lower. The S&P 500 closed modestly in the green and the DJIA gained 1.3%..

The day's standout rally came from precious metals, with silver surging 5% to a fresh all-time high of $64 per ounce and gold climbing over 1% to near $4,300. The advance was helped by the U.S. dollar index (DXY) slipping to its weakest since mid-October.

Crypto exchange Gemini stood out among crypto stocks, gaining over 30% on news of obtaining regulatory approval to offer prediction markets in the U.S.

Crypto diverges from equities

Jasper De Maere, desk strategist at trading firm Wintermute, said Thursday’s action reinforced crypto’s growing decoupling from equities, especially around macro catalysts.

"Only 18% of the past year’s sessions have seen BTC outperform the Nasdaq on macro days," he noted. "Yesterday fit that pattern: equities rallied while crypto sold off, suggesting the rate cut was fully priced and that marginal easing is no longer providing support."

De Maere added that early signs of stagflation concerns are emerging into the first half of 2026, and markets are beginning to shift focus from Fed policy toward U.S. crypto regulation as the next major driver.

Bitcoin sell pressure waning

Analytics firm Swissblock noted the downward pressure on bitcoin is losing steam, with the market stabilizing but not yet out of the woods.

"The second selling wave is weaker than the first, and selling pressure is not intensifying," the firm said in an X post. "There are signs of stabilization... but not confirmation."

PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale

PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale

The post PEPE Holders Looking For The Next 100x Crypto Set Their Sights On Layer Brett Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 01:13 The Shiba Inu price prediction has regained investor attention this month as meme coin traders shift strategies ahead of Q4. While SHIB and PEPE continue to dominate headlines, many early holders are now hunting for the next breakout. Layer Brett (LBRETT), a new Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin, is quickly emerging as a top contender. Shiba Inu price prediction: Ecosystem grows but limited short-term upside Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently priced at $0.00001307, showing slow but steady performance this September. Despite the relatively quiet price action, SHIB’s long-term vision is continuing to take shape. With the rollout of Shibarium, its Layer 2 network, Shiba Inu is transitioning from meme coin status to ecosystem coin. That said, analysts believe that short-term price action remains capped unless broader meme coin interest returns in full force. Resistance levels near $0.000015 remain tough to crack without major catalysts or a spike in retail enthusiasm. For now, Shiba Inu price predictions remain cautious, with most calling for gradual moves higher rather than a sudden breakout. Still, SHIB’s loyal community and expanding ecosystem keep it on the radar for long-term holders, especially those betting on its metaverse and DeFi ambitions to mature into stronger use cases by 2025. PEPE struggles to reclaim momentum after early hype PEPE exploded onto the meme coin scene in 2023 and gained massive traction with retail investors. However, the token’s parabolic rise was followed by a sharp correction. Currently priced around $0.00001087, PEPE still maintains a large following, but the lack of clear development or new utilities has left holders searching for alternatives with more potential. With many early PEPE investors now down from peak levels, attention has shifted to lower-cap meme coins that offer actual utility and early entry benefits. While PEPE may…
