Lower Treasury yields and retreating oil prices eased macro pressure after the Fed's first rate hike of the year, supporting a broad recovery in risk assets. The 10-year Treasury yield fell from above 5% to around 4.95%, while the Nasdaq rose 1.69%, the S&P 500 gained 1.14% and the Dow advanced 0.62%. BTC briefly tested $77,000 but remained near $76,000, with $75,000-$76,000 identified as support and $77,000-$78,000 as the first resistance zone. ETH recovered to around $2,450. The market data, dated Sept. 18, 2026, showed BTC at $76,429.8, ETH at $2,447.10 and the Fear & Greed Index at 56, up from 50. The report said BTC would need to reclaim the resistance range for the move to develop beyond a consolidation-driven recovery. Separately, the SEC (U.S. securities regulator) introduced a five-year Innovation Exemption for eligible platforms to trade tokenized U.S. equities on public blockchains, subject to limits including real underlying shares, shareholder rights and possible objections from listed companies. The policy has fueled gains in stock-linked meme tokens and infrastructure-related assets, including UNI, while the privacy sector remained strong, led by ZEC and supported by the NU7 governance vote. NEAR rose around 21% and COTI around 47% over 24 hours. The report also highlighted developments involving Middle East tensions, U.S. jobless claims, crypto regulation, stablecoins, tokenization, security infrastructure, Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade and upcoming token unlocks.
