This sharply contrasts previous Fed policy decisions aimed at containing the inflation rate below 2%. Many in the crypto community had suspected so and now the Fed seems to have finally surrendered to inflation.

This is despite Chairman Jerome Powell putting on a brave face and calling the new move a “robust updating” of the central bank’s policy. Continue reading for more on this and other big stories from the day:

The IOTA daily chart shows a completed double top on August 21 and 25, the latter of which had a very long upper wick. The double top is a bearish reversal pattern.

The price has been falling since August 25, and technical indicators are bearish. Both the MACD and the RSI are declining, and neither is oversold nor have they formed any bullish divergence. Therefore, the price should decrease at least to the closest support area at 2800 satoshis, before possibly bouncing.

Despite being a relatively new kid on the block, Polkadot (DOT) is often touted as the latest “Ethereum killer.”

The hype surrounding the project is unlikely to tone down given that new data from leading crypto market analytics providers such as CoinGecko, LiveCoinWatch, and CryptoCompare reveal that DOT now has a market cap of around $5.5 billion.

That puts it at sixth place in the charts, just below ChainLink with $5.7 billion and above Bitcoin Cash with a market cap of $5 billion.
