FILIPINO INTERNATIONAL MASTER (im) Mark Jay Bacojo brought down fellow International Master Alexandr Triapishko of Russia in the eighth round on Tuesday to stay in the title and a Grandmaster (GM) norm bid in the Russian Chess Crown Standard A in Moscow.

The 19-year-old Far Eastern University standout pounced on a tiny kingside weakness by Mr. Triapishko and turned it into a full-scale attack that resulted into a victory that hiked the former’s total to six points.

A draw in the last two rounds would seal Mr. Bacojo, whose trip is bankrolled by the Philippine Sports Commission and the National Chess Federation of the Philippines, his first GM norm.

He was facing another Russian in FIDE Master (FM) Stanislav Bukreev in the ninth round as of this writing.

Another Philippine bet, FM Alekhine Nouri, drew with Turkmenistan’s GM Meylis Annaberdiyev that boosted his own bid for his second IM norm.

Over in General Santos, Filipino GM Daniel Quizon trounced IM Chito Garma to remain the last Filipino standing at the helm of the Manny Pacquiao International Open.

Mr. Quizon hiked his score to 3.5 points after four rounds to share the lead with GMs Novendra Priasmoro of Indonesia, Peng Li Min of Switzerland, Pa Iniyan of India and Arkadij Naiditsch of Bulgaria.

A Filipino in the second group with three points each was IM Kim Steven Yap with three points each. — Joey Villar

Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision

The post Analyst Predicts ‘Uptober’ Rally for BTC Regardless of FOMC Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin traded at $116,236 as of 14:04 UTC on Sept. 17, up about 1% in the past 24 hours, holding above a key level as markets await the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. Analysts’ comments Dean Crypto Trades noted on X that bitcoin is only about 7% above its post-election local peak, while the S&P 500 has risen 9% and gold has surged 36% during the same period. He said bitcoin has compressed more than those assets, making it likely to lead the next larger move, though it could form a “lower high” before extending further. He added that ether could join in once it breaks $5,000 and enters price discovery. Lark Davis pointed to bitcoin’s history around September FOMC meetings, saying every September decision since 2020 — except during the 2022 bear market — has preceded a strong rally. He stressed that the pattern is less about the Fed’s rate choice itself and more about seasonal dynamics, arguing that bitcoin tends to thrive in this period heading into “Uptober.” CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis According to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis data model, bitcoin rose about 0.9% during the Sept. 16–17 analysis window, climbing from $115,461 to $116,520. BTC reached a session high of $117,317 at 07:00 UTC on Sept. 17 before consolidating. Following that peak, bitcoin tested the $116,400–$116,600 range multiple times, confirming it as a short-term support zone. In the final hour of the session, between 11:39 and 12:38 UTC, BTC attempted a breakout: prices moved narrowly between $116,351 and $116,376 before spiking to $116,551 at 12:34 on higher volume. This confirmed a consolidation-breakout pattern, though the gains were modest. Overall, bitcoin remains firm above $116,000, with support around $116,400 and resistance near $117,300.
