A closely tracked crypto strategist warns that the incoming month has a track record of being unfriendly to the price of Bitcoin (BTC).
The pseudonymous analyst known in the industry as Rager tells his 206,100 Twitter followers that September is usually not a good month for BTC.

“Equities market in general isn’t looking good right now so this dip on BTC is a reflection on that. September in general isn’t historically a great month.
Possibly dip here that ends up being buyers opportunity for following months. I’ll be a spot buyer for long term on sub-$20,000.”

Source: Rager/Twitter Looking at Rager’s chart, Bitcoin declines nearly 6% on average in the month of September. At time of writing, BTC is valued at $19,676, down over 1% in the past day.
While the crypto analyst is bearish on Bitcoin in the near term, he believes that BTC is now poised to trade in a wide range between $18,000 and $48,000 for the next year or so.
“BTC is 835 days since the last halving, and this is around the time of the cycle bottom (give or take a couple months before/after).
So far, there’s a case that the Bitcoin bottom is in unless the stock market continues to break down.
So what’s next?… Basically range for a year.”

Source: Rager/Twitter Based on the analyst’s chart, BTC could trade sideways until April 2024 before launching a new uptrend en route to a fresh all-time high.
As for leading smart contract platform Ethereum, Rager says the hype surrounding ETH‘s highly anticipated update to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism is already priced in.
“Many talking about The Merge and disbelief about ETH price drop.
People forget that ETH did a 2x 100%+ in only one month.
That price action was The Merge being priced in, in my opinion.
Those who traded it have been taking profits on those who were late, along with equities pulling back.”

Behind the Gold's Pullback Lies a More Significant Issue: The Loosening of the Old System

Gold's recent pullback has drawn superficial comparisons to the 1979 cycle, but the underlying global dynamics have fundamentally shifted. In 1979, gold fell due to extreme Fed rate hikes under Volcker and a renewed belief in U.S. credit stability, which attracted capital back to dollar assets. Today, the situation is inverted. The U.S. faces massive debt, uncontrolled deficits, and a financial system hypersensitive to interest rates. The critical change is the structural challenge to the dollar-centric system itself, particularly the petrodollar cycle. The ongoing Middle East conflict is not an isolated event but a self-reinforcing crisis that disrupts energy flows, elevates costs, and strains fiscal capacities—undermining the dollar’s role in global energy trade. This suggests that the recent gold sell-off is a short-term profit-taking move after a strong rally, rather than a loss of long-term value. The broader narrative is one of a deteriorating monetary order: the U.S. can no longer easily suppress inflation with high rates or assert global dominance as before. As the world reassesses the entire credit system, gold is poised to assume a new role as a hedge against systemic fragility.

‘Orange March continues’ – Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin buys continue despite ‘Extreme Fear’

Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, dubbed the "Orange March," despite prevailing market fear. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index indicates "extreme fear," with BTC trading around $68,578 and many traders betting on a drop below $45,000. Unfazed, MicroStrategy has made 103 purchases, amassing 761,068 BTC. Although its average purchase price of ~$75,696 currently puts its $52.36 billion holdings at an unrealized loss of roughly 9%, the firm's strategy focuses on long-term accumulation, not market timing. The company raises capital, including through stock sales, to fund its purchases. Analysis of MSTR stock options shows significant put support at $80-$110 and large call bets at $140-$160, suggesting potential for a sharp upward move. Analysts project MicroStrategy could hold more Bitcoin than Satoshi Nakamoto (est. 1.1M BTC) by March 2027.

Karpathy Diagnosed with "AI Psychosis"! Not Eating or Sleeping, 16 Hours a Day Raising Lobsters

Andrej Karpathy recently revealed that he has developed what he calls "AI psychosis," an obsessive state where he spends up to 16 hours a day directing AI agents instead of writing code himself. In a podcast with Sarah Guo, he explained that his workflow has shifted from 80% hand-coding and 20% AI-assisted to the reverse, or even more extreme. He now manages multiple AI agents simultaneously, treating them as a team to execute tasks. Karpathy admitted that he’s become addicted to optimizing AI performance, constantly worrying about whether he’s using tokens efficiently or pushing the system to its limit. He highlighted the importance of an agent’s “personality,” noting that Claude Code feels more like a collaborative teammate compared to colder, more mechanical alternatives. He also shared practical applications, such as "Dobby," a Claude-based smart home agent that integrates and controls all his home devices through natural language, replacing six separate apps. In research, his "AutoResearch" project used AI to run 700 experiments, resulting in an 11% training speed improvement for an AI model—discovering optimizations he had missed as a human researcher. Despite the capabilities, Karpathy noted that AI agents still exhibit uneven performance—sometimes brilliant, other times childlike—due to limitations in reinforcement training. He predicts that 2026 will see a "slopacolypse," with AI generating vast amounts of mediocre content. His experience signals a broader shift: humans are becoming directors of AI systems rather than executors, navigating a new era of human-AI collaboration.

XRP Still Stuck In Bear Market Cycle With Threats Of A Price Crash To $1.13

Despite positive developments around Ripple, XRP's price remains in a bearish cycle, failing to recover as Bitcoin struggles and altcoins suffer. A key support level at $1.452 was broken, increasing downside risk. Analyst RLinda notes further breakdown below $1.4236, with the next major support near $1.38. If that fails, the price could drop toward $1.13. On-chain data shows declining network activity, with falling trading volumes, reduced transactions, and a drop in unique accounts. Participation on the XRP Ledger has decreased significantly, and Real World Asset (RWA) adoption remains low with fewer than 4,000 holders. The bear trend persists, and a reversal depends on a broader crypto turnaround.
