The week on the cryptocurrency markets was marked by cautious optimism: Bitcoin strengthened, Ethereum and altcoins are preparing for potential growth, and key events – Fed rates, regulatory updates, and token lock-up volumes – are setting the tone for the second half of September.
Bitcoin rose 8% in September and is on track to have its best September in 13 years.
The total capitalization of the cryptocurrency market stabilized at around $4.05 trillion.
Bitcoin’s dominance has declined slightly, giving altcoins room to shine.
Ethereum and other major altcoins are showing the best growth rates in recent months; ETH has outperformed Bitcoin over the last third of the summer.
Bitcoin and ETH trading volumes have declined slightly, indicating market participants’ expectations ahead of major decisive events and regulatory decisions.
Forecasts and familiar themes for the second half of September from Fixygen:
Market participants expect another rate cut in the US, which could stimulate growth in “risky” assets, including cryptocurrencies.
Since Bitcoin is not so clearly in the lead, investors are likely to flow into altcoins — especially projects with real utility or new upgrades/token burns.
Simplified rules for listing ETF products and relaxed regulations could all increase the inflow of institutional capital.
There could be sharp pullbacks, especially if the macroeconomy unexpectedly deteriorates: inflation, unstable geopolitics, or regulatory overreach. Support from key levels (strong resistance/support) will be critical.
Close attention should be paid to events related to token unlocks and network protocol updates (e.g., throughput increases, staking income increases). These events could drive short-term interest in the market.
