Fed Relief Fades as Bitcoin Trades at $116K to $118K Make-or-Break Zone
1 min read
Key Takeaways
- Range trade: BTC is currently trading between $116,800 (near-term support) and $118,000 (overhead resistance).
- ETF Flows: On September 18, ETFs came back strongly into inflows with Ethereum spot ETFs adding $213 million, and Bitcoin spot ETFs adding $163 million.
- Derivatives concentration: Options open interest at a record 500,000 BTC ahead of the September 26 expiry; perpetual OI pulled back to ~380,000 BTC.
- Structure & breadth: Altcoin Season Index at 80 shows altseason persists as BNB, SOL, and others outperformed; BNB briefly hit $1,004 intraday.
- On-chain signal: BTC saw the second-largest inflow to accumulation addresses in 2025, and 95 percent of the supply is currently in profit. This is supportive of the current price structure, but profit-taking risk is elevated.

ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments
The post ABC Also Pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s Predecessor After Controversial Comments appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jimmy Kimmel (Photo by Media Access Awards Presented By Easterseals/Getty Images for Easterseals) Getty Images for Easterseals The shock decision by ABC to pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! “indefinitely” after the late-night host’s remarks about the killing of Charlie Kirk has created a rare moment in modern TV media: A major show abruptly taken off the air, with its network forced into crisis-management mode. Rare, that is, but not unprecedented. What might go unnoticed by many people reacting to the news about Kimmel and his potential cancellation is that this is not the first time ABC has made such a move. In fact, a version of the same thing happened to Kimmel’s predecessor program — Bill Maher’s Politically Incorrect, which once had Kimmel’s slot and which ABC cancelled in the wake of a firestorm around comments Maher made in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. (Notice, by the way, that I said cancelled “in the wake of” and not “because of.” More on that in a moment.) Here’s what happened: Less than a week after 9/11, Maher and a panel were talking about then-President George W. Bush’s use of the word “cowards” to describe the hijackers. “We have been the cowards,” Maher interjected, referencing the practice of “lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That’s cowardly.” But Maher then went even farther over the line: Actually staying in an airplane as it hits a building? “Not cowardly.” You can read more about the ensuing uproar in this ABC news story from 2001, which includes a statement that Maher issued through his publicist: “In no way was I intending to say, nor have I ever thought, that the men and women who defend our nation in uniform are anything but courageous and valiant, and I offer my apologies to…
