Power Hour

Published on September 17, 2026 at 3:30 PM

The market is entering the final stretch with tech leading a definitive risk-on rally. Institutional volume blocks are hitting the tape as the S&P 500 (.INX) and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC) look to close near their intraday highs, driven by retreating crude values and stabilizing bond yields.

🪙 Digital Asset Wrap-Up

Bitcoin (BTC)

  • Spot Price: $76,557
  • Intraday Action: Bitcoin is consolidating its lunch-hour gains heading into the settlement window. The digital asset briefly topped $76,910 earlier in the afternoon session and continues to print an expansive daily candle that firmly absorbs yesterday's post-Fed rate hike distribution. 

Strive Inc. (ASST)

  • Equity Price: $28.84 (🚀 +5.22%)
  • Intraday Action: Shares of the corporate treasury accumulator Strive Inc. (ASST) are holding steady near their highs of the day. High volume clusters continue to defend the structural support line at $28.50, tracking the broader underlying strength of the digital asset markets. 

 

🔎 Key Technical Levels to Watch at the Closing Bell

  • Nasdaq Composite Resistance: Bulls are pressing to pin the index above the 1.5% intraday gain threshold to secure a structural breakout on the daily frame. 
  • Bitcoin Support: The immediate dynamic target for the bulls is maintaining an hourly close above $76,500 to solidify the afternoon momentum heading into the global liquidity turnover.
