🇨🇳 China acelera venda de Treasuries e aprofunda desdolarização global: impacto estrutural sobre o ouro 📉 Segundo os dados oficiais do Departamento do Tesouro dos EUA (TIC), a China liquidou US$ 314 bilhões em títulos do Tesouro americano desde fevereiro de 2023, com destaque para vendas agressivas nos últimos 12 meses, incluindo uma queda de US$ 40 bilhões em maio de 2024 e US$ 27 bilhões em março de 2025. 📊 Interpretação técnica: saída contínua e coordenada A consistência dessas vendas, com 24 dos 27 meses mostrando fluxo negativo, revela um movimento deliberado de desdolarização por parte de Pequim. Em paralelo, o PBoC (Banco Popular da China) vem intensificando compras de ouro físico e incentivando o uso de yuan em contratos de energia e comércio bilateral com Rússia, Irã, Brasil e países africanos. 🟨 Conexão direta com o ouro Conforme já destacado no relatório do Bank of America, fluxos para fundos de ouro ultrapassaram US$ 80 bilhões em 2025, e a demanda oficial de bancos centrais (liderados por China, Turquia e Índia) continua sustentando os preços. 🧭 Impactos no mercado financeiro O que esperar a seguir? Dólar sob pressão: A redução da demanda chinesa por Treasuries implica maior custo de financiamento para os EUA. Isso amplia a pressão sobre os juros de longo prazo, o que pode dificultar cortes pela política monetária da Fed. Alta estrutural no ouro: O movimento de desdolarização é um choque de oferta de crédito em dólar, e simultaneamente um catalisador de valorização do ouro, sobretudo quando aliado ao risco geopolítico (Oriente Médio) e fiscal (déficit dos EUA). Risco sistêmico escondido: A venda desses ativos de longo prazo (> 1 ano) pelos chineses reduz a liquidez estrutural dos mercados de dívida pública dos EUA, afetando diretamente fundos de pensão, bancos e seguradoras globalmente expostas. 📌 Conclusão Estratégica A leitura técnica dos dados TIC confirma que a escalada do ouro não se dá apenas por medo ou guerra. Estamos assistindo a uma mudança na arquitetura financeira global, onde atores estatais rejeitam o dólar como reserva principal e passam a acumular ouro como ativo de confiança sistêmica. 👉 Siga os próximos relatórios da ExpertFX School para acompanhamento institucional diário dos fluxos globais de ouro, Treasuries e moeda.

🧨 Bank of America projeta ouro a US$ 4.000: déficits dos EUA devem pesar mais que guerra Israel-Irã Atualização de 22 de junho de 2025 De acordo com relatório publicado pela Fortune, o Bank of America (BofA) acredita que o preço do ouro pode atingir US$ 4.000 por onça troy nos próximos meses. O motivo, segundo o banco, vai além do conflito entre EUA, Israel e Irã: o que está realmente impulsionando o ouro são os déficits estruturais explosivos dos Estados Unidos, que ameaçam a estabilidade do sistema financeiro global. 🏛️ Déficit estrutural dos EUA: o verdadeiro catalisador Enquanto os ataques a instalações nucleares iranianas movimentam manchetes e provocam reações geopolíticas, o mercado olha para o horizonte de médio e longo prazo, onde o desequilíbrio fiscal norte-americano mina a confiança nos títulos do Tesouro e no dólar americano. 📈 Ouro como alternativa institucional Com a deterioração fiscal, os principais fundos de investimento aceleraram suas compras de ouro: US$ 80 bilhões em fluxos para fundos de ouro em 2025 (recorde histórico – BofA Global Research) 43% dos bancos centrais planejam aumentar suas reservas em ouro ainda este ano. O euro já foi ultrapassado como segunda maior reserva global, atrás apenas do dólar. 💬 Análise do Especialista Igor Pereira A projeção do BofA para o ouro a US$ 4.000 não é exagerada, considerando os fundamentos. Estamos diante de um cenário inédito onde: O dólar americano perde valor relativo, não por inflação de curto prazo, mas por dívida insustentável. O ouro se consolida como ativo soberano não manipulável, acumulado por bancos centrais como China, Índia, Turquia e Rússia. A fragilidade dos títulos públicos (Treasuries) é percebida como risco sistêmico, não mais como refúgio. 🟨 O que esperar? Se a tensão no Oriente Médio se intensificar com bloqueio do Estreito de Hormuz ou ataques a aliados dos EUA, o ouro pode antecipar a marca dos US$ 4.000. Se houver retração fiscal ou acordo diplomático, a pressão sobre o dólar poderá aliviar, mas a demanda estrutural por ouro continuará. A correlação entre ouro e fluxos institucionais se intensificou, deixando clara a transição do metal de “hedge tático” para ativo de base monetária alternativa. 📌 Fique atento aos relatórios da ExpertFX School nas próximas semanas. 📊 Acompanhe diariamente o comportamento do XAU/USD em nosso terminal exclusivo. 📚 Assine nossos conteúdos premium e esteja preparado para o novo ciclo de dominância do ouro.

Bitcoin (BTC) has registered a slight uptick in the last few hours after US President Donald Trump announced a successful airstrike on Iranian nuclear facilities, a move aimed at de-escalating rising tensions in the Middle East after several days of conflict between Iran and Israel. Despite the short-term price reaction, BTC remains in a corrective phase, having struggled to break through the $110,000 resistance level over the past month with market sentiment being largely shaped by both global uncertainty and technical stagnation. Amid this backdrop, a crypto analyst with X pseudonym On-Chain College has highlighted two prospective price targets based on on-chain data. Market Odds Favor Further Upside For Bitcoin – Analyst In a recent X post on June 21, On-Chain College shares a positive long-term Bitcoin price outlook using the Mayer Multiple, an on-chain metric that measures relationship between Bitcoin’s price and its 200-day moving average (200DMA). By tracking key valuation bands, the Mayer Multiple helps determine whether Bitcoin is overvalued, undervalued, or fairly valued, based on historical price behavior. Since the bull market commenced in Q4 2024, Bitcoin has consistently moved between 1.0x band i.e. the 200DMA (blue line) and the 1.5x band (orange line) representing the mid price range zone. Notably, the Bitcoin price struggles in the past have generated speculations of potential market top at the current market high. However, the Mayer Multiple chart shows that BTC has only ever attained a cycle price peak after hitting the 2.5x band (red line). Therefore, there is still room for price growth in the current bull market. However, the immediate price targets for premier cryptocurrency lies at $96,000 (1.0x) or $144,000 (1.5x). Notably, there is significant potential to rediscover its bullish form and surge towards $144,000 in line with its defined-range bound movement. However, there are also equal chances of a return to $96,000 which On-Chain College states would aid in flushing out weak hands before a full-scale bullish price reversal. Bitcoin Price Outlook At the time of writing, Bitcoin is valued at $102,700 following a 1.50% decline in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, the maiden cryptocurrency also reports losses of 2.94% and 8.08% on the weekly and monthly chart, respectively. According to CoinCodex, the general market sentiment remains neutral. However, CoinCodex analysts foresee an impending price breakout with an audacious projection of $136,472 within the next five days. Interestingly, it’s worth noting that this level may represent or come close to the cycle market top, as long-term forecasts include $138,379 in three months and $116,115 in six months.

Blockchain tracking service Whale Alert posted a major alert showing that 129,392 ETH was transferred from an unidentified wallet to Coinbase as the Ethereum price tumbled. On-chain data from Etherscan shows that this particular wallet had not been involved in the transfer of large ETH volumes since November 2022. This sudden reactivation and deposit into a centralized exchange opens up speculation of a looming selloff, especially given the timing of the transfer. Massive ETH Transfer As Middle East Tensions Escalate Whale transaction tracker Whale Alerts, which initially reported the transfer on the social media platform X, noted that at the time of the transfer, these 129,392 ETH were worth $312,981,377. The timing of the transfer is noteworthy because it occurred when the price of Ethereum failed to hold above $2,500 and had already begun to struggle to stay above $2,400. Etherscan’s tracking of on-chain transactions indicates that the unknown wallet “0xd47b,” which was involved in the transfer, has been relatively inactive since late 2022. Particularly, its last transaction was an inflow of 6,469 ETH from another wallet linked to Coinbase. The latest transfer into Coinbase leans more towards the possibility of a selloff through the exchange. Since then, the Ethereum price has lost a key support level at $2,450. Its price has fallen notably in the past 48 hours. Although other factors are clearly contributing to the dip, particularly new geopolitical tensions after the US launched attacks on Iran, this whale deposit into Coinbase may have increased the downward pressure. Exchange inflows of this magnitude are a precursor to liquidation, particularly now that investor sentiment is on edge. Bearish Setup Confirms Downside Targets The technical picture for Ethereum is now turning bearish, at least in the short term. Technical analysis of Ethereum’s 4-hour chart on the TradingView platform shows a clear bearish breakdown setup after Ethereum broke below a crucial support line at $2,362. That support level has now been breached, and confirmation of the breakdown amplifies a bearish case moving forward. Chart Image From TradingView The chart above, which includes overlays of the Ichimoku Cloud, shows a fading bullish momentum in the past few days. Previous failed attempts to break resistance have left Ethereum in a vulnerable zone, and the recent whale selloff may have delivered the final push needed to trigger this leg down. If the current trajectory continues, Ethereum could be on its way to retesting lows below $2,000. According to the TradingView analysis, potential reversal targets are at $2,151 and $1,954, with a third possible level at $1,750 if the selloff is more than expected. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,290, down by 5.5% and 10% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.

Analysts at the Bank of America see gold prices reaching $4,000 an ounce — an 18% jump above current levels — within the next year due to a ballooning US fiscal debt. Gold — traditionally viewed as a safe haven during times of uncertainty — has risen by nearly 30% this year, driven by high global trade tensions and rising geopolitical risks. In April, the yellow metal soared to an all-time high of $3,500 as an unprecedented tariff war ignited by the US rocked the global markets. A dragged-out US-Ukraine deal also did little to assuage investor concerns. Contrary to popular opinion, another potential rally to $4,000 may have less to do with these factors, but more to do with US debt, BofA analysts say. In a note published Friday, the analysts explained that wars and geopolitical conflicts typically “aren’t long-term growth drivers” for gold prices, pointing to the 2% dip in the metal’s prices since Israel began its airstrikes on Iran a week ago. According to the bank’s analysts, the Israel-Iran conflict has drawn attention away from US President Donald Trump’s sprawling tax-and-spending bill that’s making its way through Congress. If passed, the bill is expected to add trillions of dollars in deficits in the coming years, raising concerns about the sustainability of US debts and the future status of the dollar. “While the war between Israel and Iran can always escalate, conflicts are not usually a sustained bullish price driver,” they wrote. “As such, the trajectory of the US budget negotiations will be critical, and if fiscal shortfalls don’t decline, the fallout from that plus market volatility may end up attracting more buyers.” De-dollarization The BofA analysts also pointed to the growing trend of global central banks shifting away from US assets (Treasuries and dollar) in their reserves and holding more gold. They estimate that central banks’ gold holdings represent about 18% of the outstanding US public debt, up from 13% a decade ago. “That tally should be a warning for US policymakers. Ongoing apprehension over trade and US fiscal deficits may well divert more central bank purchases away from US Treasuries to gold,” they warned. A study by the European Central Bank revealed that bullion has risen up the ranks of official reserve assets, surpassing the euro and only behind the dollar. By the end of 2024, it is estimated that gold accounted for 20% of the world’s total reserve holdings. The dollar, while maintaining a lead at 46%, continued to decline. Similarly, a recent survey by the World Gold Council showed that most central banks are expecting to accumulate more gold and less dollar over the next 12 months.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to experience an extensive price correction losing over 7% of its market value in the last month. The flagship cryptocurrency has struggled to regain its bullish form after setting a new all-time high leading to speculations of a potential market top. Interestingly, popular market analyst and the host of The Wolf of All Streets Podcast, Scott Melker has recently shared a market development that supports such bearish notions. Bitcoin Set For 26% Crash? In an X post on June 21, Scott Melker shares a cautionary insight on the Bitcoin market hinting at a bearish long-term outlook. The season analyst reports that data from TradingView shows that Bitcoin’s has now closed below the 50-day moving average (50 MA) on the daily trading chart, a development that last occurred two months ago when Bitcoin traded around $84,000. The 50MA is a commonly used technical indicator that represents the average closing price of an asset over the past 50 days. As a lagging indicator, it helps traders identify the prevailing market trend. When the price remains above the 50 MA, it typically signals a bullish trend, while a move below the 50 MA may indicate bearish momentum or a potential trend reversal. Interestingly, Melker notes that Bitcoin last lost the 50 MA as a support zone in early February trading around $100,000. However, the loss of this price floor triggered an immense selling pressure forcing Bitcoin into prolonged market correction to reach market low of $74,000 in April. Amidst the current market uncertainty, the recent daily price close below 50 MA strengthens bearish sentiments suggesting Bitcoin is due for another potential 26% crash. In that case, investors could expect a downside target of around $76,200. To invalidate such bearish projections, Bitcoin must continue to hold above the $100,000 resistance level, fueling the chances to retest the current all-time high, and perhaps re-enter price discovery mode. Bitcoin Price Overview At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $102,889 after a 1.43% decline in the last day. In tandem, the asset’s daily trading volume has crashed by 29.30% and is presently valued at $35.15 billion. With a market cap of $2.02 trillion, the “digital gold” continues to rank as the largest cryptocurrency and fifth largest asset in the world. However, according to prominent market analyst Ali Martinez, Bitcoin may actually be slipping into bearish territory as similarly predicted by Scott Melker. Based on insights from the MVRV pricing bands, if the market lose the current support at $102,000, it opens the door to a potential decline toward $82,000.

On Saturday, Texas became the first-ever US state to commit public funds towards the purchase of Bitcoin. Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 21 (SB21), officially authorizing the establishment of the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Keep reading to learn more about this development, increasing investor and government confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential, and what’s the best crypto to buy now in order to ride the upcoming crypto wave. Texas Passes Groundbreaking Bitcoin Reserve Bill ‘We can buy land, we can buy gold; I think the state of Texas should have the option of evaluating the best performing asset over the last 10 years.’ This is what the Texas Bitcoin bill’s author, State Senator Charles Schwertner, said in February. Four months later, Texas has put its faith in the ‘digital gold’ to strengthen its financials and act as an effective hedge against inflation. It’s worth noting that although Texas is the third US state to create a Bitcoin reserve (after Arizona and New Hampshire), it’s the first to create a publicly-funded reserve. Neither of the other two has allocated public funds for the purchase of Bitcoin. By putting actual taxpayer dollars into $BTC, Texas has not only officially recognized Bitcoin as a store of value but also signaled its unwavering trust and long-term commitment to the digital asset. A publicly-funded reserve is also likely to increase demand for Bitcoin. It’s also worth mentioning that large public companies like Michael Saylor’s Strategy have aggressively bought Bitcoin over the past few months. With here are some of the best new cryptos you can buy to benefit from Bitcoin’s growing acceptance among corporations and government agencies. 1. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Best Crypto to Buy Now, Get Free $BTC Airdrops BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is the best crypto to invest in if you want to eke out the maximum amount of returns possible from Bitcoin’s bull run. $BTCBULL’s biggest selling point is that it’s the ONLY crypto on the market right now, offering free (and completely legit) $BTC to its token holders. If you’re a $BTCBULL holder who has stored his tokens in Best Wallet, you’ll receive your share of free $BTC (depending on your $BTCBULL holdings) every time the king cryptocurrency reaches a landmark, such as $150K and $200K, for the first time. Thanks to its never-before-seen approach to rallying behind Bitcoin and community rewards, BTC Bull Token is predicted to explode 270% and reach $0.0096 by 2026. A huge reason behind this is the project’s deflationary model, which will burn a part of the total $BTCBULL token supply at regular intervals, creating a supply shortage and hiking prices. The best part? $BTCBULL is currently in presale, where it has raised over $7.2M. Each token is priced at $0.002575, and here’s how to buy it. 2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Building Layer 2 on Bitcoin for Scalability & Fast Transactions Despite being the OG blockchain, Bitcoin has been struggling with slow transaction speeds and high fees, as well as limited compatibility with decentralized applications and Web3. Enter Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). By building a Bitcoin Layer 2 and connecting it to the Layer 1 using a Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration, Bitcoin Hyper aims to bring programmability and scalability to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Plus, it will do so without impacting the network’s security and decentralization benefits. Here’s how it works: You send $BTC through the Canonical Bridge, which converts it into wrapped $BTC on the L2. You can use wrapped $BTC to access high-speed DeFi apps, pay for transactions on the L2, etc. When you’re done, just raise a withdrawal request on the L2 network. It will again use a smart contract to verify the transaction and convert wrapped $BTC back to original $BTC. Luckily for you, one $HYPER is currently available for just $0.011975 (the token could soar 2,000% by 2030), and the project has in total raised over $1.5M. Here’s how to buy it. 3. Tutorial ($TUT) – Educating Folks About Everything Crypto Tutorial ($TUT) has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of crypto’s growth and increasing awareness among the masses. That’s because it’s an AI-powered tool that educates people about different crypto-related topics and tools, including setting up a crypto wallet. Other ‘tutorials’ in its repertoire include teaching people how to write smart contracts, trade on the best decentralized exchanges, and learn everything there is to know about the BNB chain ecosystem. $TUT has been on a sensational run of late, gaining more than 25% over just the past 7 days. It’s currently trading at $0.03583, offering a discounted entry point before it explodes to mimic crypto’s rise. As States Back $BTC, Altcoins Emerge as Attractive Investments With regulated, state-backed crypto holdings becoming increasingly mainstream, we’re clearly headed towards a world where diversified crypto assets (the best altcoins included) are looked at as both stores of value and investment opportunities. However, make sure you do your own research and due diligence before investing in crypto. The market is highly uncertain, and our article isn’t financial advice.

Dateline Resources (ASX: DTR) has begun geotechnical sampling on its 100%-owned Colosseum gold-REE (rare earth elements) project in San Bernardino County, California, with a view to defining targets for upcoming drilling. In a press release last week, the Australian explorer said its field team is systematically collecting approximately 1,200 samples across the broader project area, starting with the highest-priority zones highlighted by recent geological mapping and gravity survey reviews. All samples will undergo multi-element laboratory analysis (including the full suite of rare earth elements) to detect geochemical anomalies and pathfinder elements, Dateline said, adding that these results will help generate detailed geochemical maps and prioritize areas with the greatest gold or REE potential for drilling. While the initial set of results is expected as early as July, the company said it will wait for the entire dataset to arrive before analyzing the results. In addition, the Dateline team will also conduct a magnetotelluric (MT) survey during the latter stages of the soil program, with the aim of visualizing the geological structures on the Colosseum property. It may also use ground-based magnetic surveys to support the MT survey. Right timing The start of exploration work on the Colosseum project comes at a time when both gold and rare earths are garnering increased attention. Gold, which thrives in turbulent times, has been one of the top-performing commodities this year, and in mid-April set a new record of $3,500/oz. Rare earths have become the focal point of the US tariff war with China, which controls nearly all of the world’s supply and has leveraged this in trade discussions. For decades, the US has relied heavily on Chinese imports. Currently, the nation has only one producing REE mine — the Mountain Pass in California — located 10 km south of Dateline’s Colosseum project. The Colosseum project already has a rich history of gold mining dating to the California Gold Rush era. Commercial-scale gold mining took place on the property in the late 1980s under the ownership of Canada’s LAC Minerals, producing a total of 344,000 oz. from two open pits until its closure in 1993. Since then, the property has had minimal activity. Its potential for REE production had yet to be explored. “The last time this mine was in operation, the gold price was under $350/oz., and there was little incentive to do follow-up exploration work for hidden breccia pipes. During that period, rare earth elements (REEs) were not yet a focus, so the significant REE findings at Colosseum has only recently become important,” Dateline’s managing director Stephen Baghdadi explained. “We are now in a very different environment, with much higher gold prices and strong strategic demand for REEs, which makes our systematic field program at Colosseum essential,” he added. According to the company, the current exploration initiatives are key to its strategy to advance the project’s dual gold-REE potential. Any encouraging anomalies or targets defined by the soil and MT surveys will feed into the planning of the upcoming drilling campaigns, it said. An initial REE-focused drilling program is currently being finalized. DOI endorsement The Colosseum project recently received the public support of the US Department of the Interior due to its potential to become America’s second REE mine. Speaking to Fox News earlier this month, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum called the revival of the Colosseum mine project in California a “pivotal step” towards bolstering America’s supply of critical minerals. Review of historical data by Dateline’s team has led to the conclusion that Colosseum shares the same geological setting as Mountain Pass, which started production in 1952 and was a primary global source of rare earth elements (REE) from the 1960s to the 1990s. The project currently has no estimated resources for REE, only a JORC-2012-compliant gold resource of 1.1 million oz., with about two-thirds in the measured and indicated categories. A scoping study in August 2024 outlined an eight-plus-year mine life averaging 75,000 oz. of gold production per annum.

Bitcoin’s narrow price movement over the past week contradicts a much different development in the futures market. According to Axel Adler Jr., an analyst at on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, a sharp rise in the long liquidation dominance metric could set the stage for a significant shift in sentiment that may completely wash out bears from the market. Adler shared the data in a recent post on X, accompanied by a chart showing previous points that resemble the current setup. Long Liquidation Spike Without Price Crash The dominance of long liquidations has jumped from 0% to +10% over the past seven days, a move that typically shows distress among bullish traders. However, what makes the current development especially noteworthy is the absence of a steep crash in Bitcoin’s price. Instead, in the just concluded week, Bitcoin held mostly within the $103,000 to $106,000 range until a recent drop, despite facing increasing pressure from long-side liquidations. Axel Adler Jr. explained that this sustained liquidation of long positions without a full-blown price collapse indicates sustained buyer support. According to data from CryptoQuant, BTC’s long liquidations hit 2,200 BTC, the highest in the past week. Usually, a surge in long liquidations suggests that traders who were anticipating a price rally are being pushed out of their positions under pressure. The CryptoQuant chart below shows how spikes in long liquidation dominance, especially in the 15% to 20% range, have always preceded bullish reversals. According to the analyst, if this metric rises by another 5–7%, it could cause a high-probability scenario where bearish positions are washed out and flip Bitcoin’s price movements in favor of the bulls. Image From X: @AxelAdlerJr Large Wallets Accumulate As Retail Exits Data from Santiment, another on-chain analytics platform, shows an interesting dynamic playing out among Bitcoin holders. Over the past ten days, wallets holding over 10 BTC have increased by 231 addresses, which is a 0.15% rise. Meanwhile, smaller retail wallets containing between 0.001 and 10 BTC have dropped by 37,465 in the same timeframe. This trend highlights a divergence in sentiment between large and retail holders. According to Santiment, the shift where whales and sharks accumulate while retail exits is a bullish combination for Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s market value is hovering just below $104,000 during this accumulation phase, and there could be an eventual upward breakout once retail holders begin to reenter. Image From X: Santiment Despite the underlying on-chain strength, Bitcoin’s spot price has taken a short-term hit in the past 48 hours. During this timeframe, Bitcoin’s price has slipped below support levels between $106,000 and $103,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $102,670, down by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. The decline can be largely attributed to recent U.S. strikes on Iran. The U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities (June 21-22) caused immediate risk aversion across markets. Bitcoin fell 3.2% after announcements of the strikes, much like its 6% drop during similar 2020 Iran tensions.

What will be Iran’s response to the US bombing? President Donald Trump just attacked and bombed Iran’s Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites and then called for peace. He just declared war; there is no going back. In response, crypto markets were as chaotic and capricious as the U.S. president, with Bitcoin crashing to $100,945 within minutes, slashing $40 billion from the total market before leveling off at $102,350. Meanwhile, Iran labeled the strikes a violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. It returned fire—literally—launching missiles deep into Israeli territory as the region tilted further toward all-out war. What else can we expect from this conflict and the greater impact on international equities, crypto, and the global markets? BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.04T24h7d30d1yAll time Iran-Israel Missile Exchanges Amplify Tensions After Saturday’s U.S.-Israel-led attack, Iran reportedly launched two waves of missiles, totaling 27 strikes, hitting areas from the Golan Heights to the upper Galilee and Tel Aviv. Israeli authorities confirmed damage at ten different sites, including severe impacts in metropolitan regions like Haifa and Tel Aviv. Emergency medical crews reported 16 injuries as they continue to comb through affected areas. For the first time, Iran’s missile strategy involved attacks in close succession, intensifying the ongoing exchange of strikes. BTC’s footing looks shaky at $102K, a level it’s tested more than once this week. A fresh death cross with the SMA diving below the 200 adds to the bearish outlook. Bollinger Bands, which briefly expanded during the selloff, have narrowed again. Historically, that’s the calm before the next storm. Historically, when Bitcoin has stayed relatively silent for weeks, it’s the precursor to parabolic gains. Meanwhile, Iran has doubled down, vowing to press ahead with its nuclear plans and warning off outside interference. What’s Next for WW3? Tensions are rising fast, and the fallout may not stop at Iran’s borders. Retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases or allied territories remain a serious threat. The IAEA hasn’t weighed in yet, but geopolitical analysts are already game-planning what happens if Russia or China make further moves on Ukraine or Taiwan in the chaos. With uncertainty rising, investors are hedging hard. Don’t be surprised if Bitcoin continues to rebound.

A wave of shock hit the cryptocurrency market and Bitcoin price Saturday evening following news of a successful U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear sites, disclosed by President Trump. As we published on Friday, journalist Seymour Hersh said Trump would bomb on the weekend to avoid a stock market crash. However, that can’t spare crypto, which is a 24/7 market. BTC ▼-1.16%, often reactive to geopolitical shockwaves, tumbled to $100,945 before clawing its way back to $102,350 by the night’s close. Meanwhile, the entire crypto market lost $40 billion in three volatile hours, underscoring its vulnerability to global flashpoints. BitcoinPriceMarket CapBTC$2.04T24h7d30d1yAll time Timeline of Events and the Bitcoin Price Reaction Trump took to Truth Social at 7:50 p.m., declaring, “We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.… Congratulations to our great American Warriors.” The post immediately circulated across social media, coinciding with Bitcoin’s swift drop. (X) By 7:53 p.m. EST, the Bitcoin price had fallen to $100,945, reacting sharply to news of U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure. The fear was brief, showcasing how strong Bitcoin is as a safe haven. By 9 p.m. EST, BTC had rebounded to $102,350, despite a day thick with tension as stealth jets were reportedly airborne and the President cautioned that further strikes weren’t off the table. Geopolitical Risks and Potential Fallout: Is This WW3? Rumors are now swirling that U.S. airstrikes in Iran were a calculated display of power designed to minimize casualties. Conversely, conflicting reports say that Iran is committed to retaliation against U.S. military bases and Israel itself. The unspoken option is that Iran could launch attacks within the United States. That anxiety hit crypto markets like a brick, wiping out $40 billion in value. Ethereum, Solana, and other major altcoins crashed harder than Bitcoin, with $ETH down 6.7%. Despite the chaos, Trump called the strikes on Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan a resounding success, while experts say the risk of escalation is growing every hour. This came after two weeks of failed diplomacy in Iran, and many question if the U.S. took peace talks seriously at all. A Cautious Path Forward For The Bitcoin Price Trump spoke at 10:00 EST, but sidestepped any promise that the airstrikes were over. The ambiguity left markets twitchy and investors running blind into the next news cycle. With tensions still high, there’s a growing sense that this could pull in bigger players—Russia, China, maybe more—and open a chapter nobody’s ready to write.

The spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds) have been in good form over the past few weeks, receiving renewed interest from investors in the United States. This recent spurt of momentum has been a rare bright spark in the crypto market, which has been overwhelmed with investor uncertainty lately. Interestingly, the typically straight line between the spot Bitcoin ETFs’ performance and the BTC price action has not been particularly straight in the past few weeks. While the crypto-linked financial products have shone in the past few days, the underlying premier cryptocurrency has seen better days. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record $1 Billion In The Past Week According to the latest market data, the US-based spot Bitcoin ETF market recorded a total net inflow of $6.37 million on Friday, June 20. This performance marked the ninth successive day of positive capital influx for the crypto investment products, signaling increased investor interest and demand. SoSoValue data shows that BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (with the ticker IBIT) was the only BTC exchange-traded fund with net inflow on Friday. The trillion-dollar asset manager’s fund added a remarkable $46.91 million in value to close the week, as it continues to lead the pack in net assets. Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) was the only other Bitcoin ETF that recorded any activity on Friday. According to market data, the second-largest spot BTC exchange-traded fund by net assets posted a daily net outflow of $40.55 million on the day. Nonetheless, the $6.37 million single-day performance pushed the US-based Bitcoin ETFs’ weekly record above the $1 billion mark. While this figure falls short of the exchange-traded funds’ performance ($1.39 billion) in the previous week, it still represents a trend in the right direction after enduring two weeks of nearly $300 million in outflows. Bitcoin Price Falls Below $101,000 Level Despite the positive performances of the US-based Bitcoin ETFs, BTC’s price has continued to struggle to build any sustained bullish momentum over the past two weeks. The flagship cryptocurrency seemed set for another trip to a new all-time-high price earlier this week before succumbing to some bearish pressure mid-week. In the late hours of Saturday, the price of BTC fell to below the $101,500 level as another wave of downward pressure hit the crypto market. As of this writing, the market leader is valued at around $101,484, reflecting an almost 2% price decline in the past 24 hours. According to data from CoinGecko, the price of Bitcoin is down by nearly 4% in the past seven days.

Solana has broken down decisively, losing a critical support level following news that the United States launched an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. The unexpected geopolitical development triggered widespread panic across financial markets, with altcoins taking the hardest hit. Solana, in particular, has seen significant selling pressure, dropping 20% from its May high of approximately $185 and now trading near $148. This breakdown confirms investor concerns that SOL’s uptrend has weakened. Top analyst Carl Runefelt noted that Solana has completed a Head and Shoulders pattern—a bearish technical structure often signaling deeper downside. The price has broken below the neckline of this pattern, confirming the potential for continued declines in the short term. Adding to the bearish outlook is Solana’s inability to reclaim its prior support levels during brief bounces. With momentum indicators turning negative and broader market sentiment rattled, the likelihood of a swift recovery appears slim unless macro conditions stabilize. Solana Faces Deeper Correction As Bearish Pattern Unfolds Solana’s bullish momentum from late 2024 has all but faded, replaced by stagnation and sharp corrections as market conditions worsen. Now trading more than 50% below its all-time high, SOL continues to struggle under the weight of global macroeconomic uncertainty and rising geopolitical tensions. The US military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities has only added to the volatility, sending shockwaves through both traditional and crypto markets. While Solana was one of the strongest performers during the previous cycle, its price action has turned decisively bearish in recent weeks. Bulls have failed to maintain critical support levels, and the asset has now broken below its short-term trend structures. According to Runefelt, Solana has completed a Head and Shoulders pattern, a classic technical signal that often precedes a prolonged downtrend. The pattern’s neckline has been breached, and the projected bearish target now stands around $106.30—a level not seen since February. The breakdown also reflects broader weakness in the altcoin market. Despite earlier hopes for an altseason, capital has rotated out of risk assets, favoring Bitcoin and stablecoins amid uncertainty. Solana’s inability to reclaim prior highs or establish higher lows points to a market in retreat. Momentum indicators continue to flash red, and unless bulls reclaim lost ground quickly, SOL could be facing an extended period of consolidation or further losses. SOL Price Analysis: Breaking Below Key Support Solana is under pressure as it breaks below the critical 200-day simple moving average (SMA) around $149.54, a level that had previously acted as dynamic support. This breakdown signals growing bearish sentiment as price action confirms a loss of momentum following weeks of consolidation below the $155–$160 resistance zone. As of now, SOL is trading at approximately $135.99, down nearly 3% on the day and over 20% from its May highs. The chart shows a rejection near the 100-day SMA (green line), and the sustained move below both the 200-day and 50-day SMAs (blue line) points to a shifting structure, leaning heavily toward the downside. Volume remains elevated on red candles, confirming that the breakdown is supported by increasing sell pressure rather than a low-liquidity move. If the current trend continues, Solana could revisit the $120–$125 range, which previously served as strong support in early Q1 2025. The broader context of macroeconomic volatility and geopolitical tension, particularly the recent U.S. attack on Iran, adds to investor unease across risk assets, including altcoins like Solana. A daily close back above $149 would be needed to neutralize the short-term bearish structure and shift sentiment. Until then, downside risks dominate.

The Bitcoin price had a tough start to the weekend, plummeting from its $106,000 high to just above $103,000 on Friday, June 20. The flagship cryptocurrency became somewhat stable above this price zone, hovering around the $104,000 mark for most of the past day. However, the Bitcoin price faced another wave of bearish pressure in the late hours of Saturday, June 21, falling to around $101,500 as a result. Below is an analysis of the BTC price and what lies ahead for the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Next BTC Support Level Lies At $100,000: Analyst Popular crypto analyst with the pseudonym Titan of Crypto put forward an interesting analysis for the Bitcoin price as the market leader struggles to build any momentum. According to the online pundit, the price of BTC could be on its way to retest a crucial support area if it continues to lose its bullish impetus. Using the Bitcoin price chart on the weekly timeframe, the next significant support level lies around the $99,000 – $100,000 range. The confluence of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) and the rising Tenkan-sen (red line) around this price region makes the zone a significant area to watch if selling pressure persists. The Tenkan-sen, a key component of the Ichimoku Cloud indicator, is often considered a significant line in analyzing short-term trends. The Tenkan-sen line is often seen as a key support and resistance level, as well as a signal line for potential trend reversals. The Fair Value Gap is a liquidity void often created by a sharp movement in price, indicating a lack of trading activity within a particular price range. FVGs are usually considered as potential regions of interest for future price corrections, as investors often look to fill the liquidity void. With the FVG and the Tenkan-sen set within this same region, Titan of Crypto noted that the Bitcoin price may find a support cushion around the $100,000. This level appears to be extremely crucial for the flagship cryptocurrency in the short term, especially as its bullish momentum wanes. Meanwhile, holding above this $100,000 support could be critical to Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. It is worth noting that the price of BTC has not traded beneath $100,000 since May 8, reaching the $110,000 mark twice within that span. Bitcoin Price At A Glance After falling to around $101,400 in the late hours of Saturday, the price of Bitcoin has now returned around $103,000. As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $102,845, reflecting a 0.4% decline in the past 24 hours.

Ethereum has officially broken below the long-standing range it had maintained since early May, losing the critical $2,320 support level. This breakdown was triggered by escalating geopolitical tensions, as news broke that the United States had launched attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. The announcement sent shockwaves through global markets, sparking widespread risk-off behavior and panic selling across crypto. Ethereum, already trading near the bottom of its six-week consolidation range, quickly reacted with a sharp drop, dragging the broader altcoin market with it. The move marks a critical shift in sentiment, as Ethereum now trades outside the range that had served as a battleground between bulls and bears for over a month. With volatility spiking and confidence shaken, traders are re-evaluating risk in light of escalating conflict in the Middle East and broader macroeconomic headwinds. According to top analyst Big Cheds, Ethereum’s weekly chart is now flirting with a potential tower top pattern completion — a bearish reversal structure that may signal further downside unless buyers reclaim key levels in the coming days. As the situation evolves, all eyes will remain on ETH’s ability to hold new support levels or risk further decline in a fragile market environment. Ethereum Slides 22% From June Highs – All Eyes On Weekly Structure Ethereum has lost over 22% of its value since peaking in early June, as global instability and heightened selling pressure weigh heavily on market sentiment. The asset has now broken below its six-week range, triggering concern among investors and adding to uncertainty across the broader crypto space. With rising tensions in the Middle East—particularly following US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities—the market has entered a risk-off environment, dragging altcoins like Ethereum into deeper retracements. Despite the volatility, Ethereum remains at the center of investor focus, as many still expect it to lead the next altseason. However, with bulls losing control of key support zones, confidence in a near-term rally continues to waver. Analysts are now split: while some predict a deeper retracement toward the $2,000 region, others argue that Ethereum is nearing exhaustion on the downside and may soon recover. Big Cheds points to Ethereum’s weekly chart, where the price is currently flirting with a potential tower top pattern—a bearish reversal structure. If this pattern confirms, ETH may face another wave of downside before finding demand at lower supply levels. If buyers step in during this pivotal moment, a recovery from this structure could quickly follow. The coming sessions will be critical in determining whether this breakdown extends or turns into a fakeout with bullish continuation. For now, traders should remain cautious, as Ethereum’s next move could define the tone of the altcoin market heading into July. Ethereum Breaks Down Below Support As Volatility Spikes Ethereum has officially broken below the $2,320 support level, signaling a shift in short-term market structure as shown in the 4-hour chart. After weeks of ranging between $2,320 and $2,650, ETH failed to reclaim its moving averages and lost bullish momentum. The price is now trading around $2,260, down sharply from its June highs near $2,900. This recent leg down follows a clean breakdown through the 50, 100, and 200-period SMAs, confirming a strong bearish momentum. Volume spikes accompanied the drop, suggesting panic selling likely triggered by geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East. The price broke down aggressively with little resistance, meaning previous demand zones have now become weak. If buyers fail to step in quickly, Ethereum may revisit earlier May support levels around $2,100 or even $2,000. From a technical standpoint, the breakdown invalidates the previous consolidation range, opening the door for a possible extended correction. Until ETH reclaims $2,320 and stabilizes above its moving averages, the risk of continued downside remains high. Market participants should watch closely for volume shifts or bullish divergences, but for now, Ethereum remains under pressure as uncertainty continues to dominate the macro environment. The next few sessions will be crucial for price discovery. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

🚨 CONFLITO ESCALA PARA NÍVEL CRÍTICO ENTRE EUA E IRÃ: TROCA DE AMEAÇAS DIRETAS 📍 Análise Urgente – Especial ExpertFX School Data: 22 de Junho de 2025 | Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado 🛑 Contexto Atual: Após os ataques aéreos realizados pelos EUA às instalações nucleares do Irã (Fordow, Natanz e Isfahan), o presidente Donald Trump publicou uma mensagem oficial ameaçando represálias ainda mais severas caso o Irã reaja militarmente: Em resposta, o Líder Supremo iraniano, Aiatolá Ali Khamenei, declarou: ⚔️ Implicações Geopolíticas: Entramos agora em estado de guerra declarada indireta.

Pump.fun’s latest delay has rattled its backers. The Solana‐based memecoin launchpad was set to raise $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation on June 25. Now, the team says the sale will slip into mid‑July. There’s no clear reason for the hold‑up, and users are on edge. Investors who queued up months ago are left wondering if they’ll ever see a token in their wallets. Token Sale Pushed Into Mid‑July According to reports on June 20, Pump.fun first hinted at raising $1 billion at a $4 billion valuation. The sale was supposed to start on June 25. Instead, the launchpad now aims for mid‑July. That’s at least a 10‑day shift, and possibly longer. Users who planned around the June date have to sit tight again. Frustration is growing in online chat groups, where some members point fingers at the core team for poor communication. Lawsuit Accuses Platform Of Securities Violations On January 15, Burwick Law filed a class action lawsuit against Pump.fun. The complaint alleges the platform acted as an unregistered securities exchange. It also claims that Pump.fun pumped token prices to lure in retail investors. According to the complaint, many users saw their holdings plunge in value after the hype died down. Max Burwick, the firm’s founder, called the platform “a modern pyramid scheme dressed as a viral meme economy.” Trademark Claims Lead To Cease‑And‑Desist Based on reports from February, Burwick Law teamed up with Wolf Popper LLP to issue a cease‑and‑desist order. They argue that several user‑generated memecoins on Pump.fun infringe on trademark rights. That move opened another front of legal risk. Projects tied to big brands or franchises suddenly faced takedown notices. Pump.fun says it’s beefed up its legal team, but it hasn’t shared details on how it plans to settle trademark disputes. X Account Suspensions Raise Eyebrows On June 16, Pump.fun’s official X accounts were locked without warning. An X user known as Otto logged more than 30 profiles that went dark, including handles linked to GMGN and Bloom trading groups. The accounts came back online after a few days, but no one got an explanation. Some users suspect a regulator asked for the takedown. Others think it was trademark owners flexing their muscles. Either way, the episode fed more chatter about external pressure on the platform. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

🚨 URGENTE – EUA CONFIRMAM ATAQUE MILITAR CONTRA O PROGRAMA NUCLEAR DO IRÃ 🕊️ Contexto Geopolítico Crítico e Repercussões no Mercado Financeiro Global Na noite deste sábado (21/06), o presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, confirmou oficialmente que os EUA realizaram ataques militares de alta precisão contra instalações nucleares do Irã em Fordow, Natanz e Isfahan, com o objetivo de "destruir a capacidade de enriquecimento nuclear e eliminar a ameaça nuclear iraniana". 📉 Impacto nos mercados: o que esperar a partir de agora? 🟡 OURO (XAU/USD): Deve disparar como ativo de segurança. Resistência técnica em $3.400/oz pode ser rompida nas próximas horas. Com o ouro já superando o euro como segundo maior ativo de reserva global (dados do BCE), a busca por proteção deve intensificar a demanda. 🛢️ PETRÓLEO (WTI/Brent): Forte risco de alta abrupta nos preços com possibilidade de interrupções no Estreito de Hormuz. Brent pode ultrapassar os $90/barril caso haja retaliação iraniana direta. 📈 PRATA (XAG/USD) & METAIS INDUSTRIAIS: A prata tende a se valorizar por correlação com o ouro e pela percepção de escassez em caso de crise prolongada. 💵 DÓLAR AMERICANO (DXY): Pode se fortalecer no curto prazo como refúgio, mas investidores institucionais podem buscar proteção em ouro e francos suíços, especialmente diante da fragilidade fiscal dos EUA. 📉 AÇÕES GLOBAIS E ÍNDICES DE RISCO: Futuros de ações devem abrir em queda acentuada. O S&P 500 pode reagir com -2% ou mais no pré-mercado. Volatilidade (VIX) deve subir fortemente. 📌 Risco sistêmico geopolítico O ataque representa uma ruptura histórica: uma ação militar coordenada com Israel visando eliminar a capacidade nuclear iraniana. A possibilidade de retaliação direta do Irã contra Israel, aliados do Golfo ou bases americanas cria um cenário de guerra regional aberta, com reflexos imprevisíveis. 📊 Estratégia para Traders e Investidores Monitorar com atenção: Ouro acima de $3.400 → possível aceleração até $3.550+ Brent acima de $79 → abrirá caminho para $95-$100 TSX-V e CRB Index → pode indicar início de superciclo de commodities 💬 Análise por Igor Pereira – ExpertFX School

🚨 URGENTE – ESCALADA NO ORIENTE MÉDIO PODE AFETAR OS MERCADOS GLOBAIS ⚠️ Contexto Analítico – Impacto Geopolítico e Financeiro Na noite de sábado (21/06), a Organização de Energia Atômica do Irã confirmou oficialmente que instalações nucleares em Fordow, Natanz e Isfahan foram atacadas. Em comunicado, autoridades iranianas classificaram o incidente como um "ataque selvagem dos inimigos", prometendo que não permitirão a paralisação do desenvolvimento do setor nuclear nacional. 📍 Implicações no mercado financeiro global: o que esperar? Aumento imediato da aversão ao risco: O ouro (XAU/USD) tende a se valorizar como ativo de refúgio. A prata (XAG/USD) pode acompanhar, especialmente se houver percepção de risco sistêmico. Alta nos preços do petróleo (Brent e WTI): O Irã é membro da OPEP e possui instalações próximas ao Estreito de Hormuz, rota crítica para o transporte global de petróleo. Um ataque direto pode reacender temores de interrupções na cadeia de suprimento. Impacto nos mercados de ações e moedas: Bolsas asiáticas e europeias devem abrir em baixa. O dólar americano pode se fortalecer temporariamente como porto seguro, pressionando moedas emergentes. Possibilidade de retaliação e escalada militar: A retaliação iraniana pode incluir alvos em Israel, bases americanas ou ativos no Golfo Pérsico. Isso amplia o risco de um conflito regional direto entre potências nucleares e forças militares ocidentais. 📊 Ponto-chave para traders e analistas: Monitorar reações do ouro (acima de $3.403/oz) e do petróleo Brent (acima de $72/bbl). Observar o comportamento dos Treasuries dos EUA: se a demanda não subir, poderá indicar uma perda de confiança no dólar como ativo seguro. A escalada pode influenciar decisões do Fed e BCE, especialmente se gerar inflação via commodities. 🔍 Análise de Igor Pereira – ExpertFX School

XRP’s on-chain metrics are reportedly painting a foreboding picture for its price outlook, as data shows a steep 80% decline in new wallet creation over the past five months. This drop in network activity has sparked divided opinions between two expert analysts, with one casting doubts on XRP’s ability to reclaim the $3 mark, and the other rejecting such bearish predictions. XRP Price Surge To $3 Stalled In a recent X (formerly Twitter) post, crypto analyst the ‘Coin Bureau’ highlights that XRP’s momentum appears to be fading fast as new on-chain data from Glassnode reveals a staggering 80% drop in wallet creation since January 2025. This sharp decline in network activity and growth has led the analyst to claim that the XRP price is unlikely to revisit the $3 level anytime soon. At the height of XRP’s 2024 rally, both its price and user activity surged in tandem. During that time, new wallet addresses soared to nearly 30,000 per day in November, coinciding with a sharp rally that sent the token’s price surging close to $3. However, the explosive rally proved short-lived, as momentum faded and prices have since reversed. As of mid-June 2025, Glassnode chart shows that new wallet creation has fallen drastically to around 2,000-5,000 per day, while daily active addresses plunged from 577,000 to just 34,000. XRP’s price, meanwhile, has settled just above $2 and has remained largely range-bound, failing to show signs of a sustained breakout. According to Coin Bureau, this significant drop in on-chain engagement indicates that interest in XRP may have dried up, removing one of the key drivers behind its previous rally. Without new users entering the ecosystem or existing ones increasing XRP’s on-chain activity, the analyst warns that the conditions necessary for an immediate $3 price reclaim aren’t present. Analyst Debunks Bearish Forecast While Coin Bureau’s data paints a picture of declining interest and slow price growth, one crypto expert, known as Moon Lambo on X, has pushed back against the bearish narrative. He argues that XRP’s network activity actually reflects growing strength and long-term confidence. The chart presented by the analyst, covering wallet creation data from June 2024 to June 2025, shows an undeniable spike in network activity between November and early January—a surge that peaked during a period of heightened market enthusiasm following the US elections. As the post-election euphoria faded and investor sentiment cooled off, XRP’s on-chain metrics, like daily new account creations, naturally returned to lower levels. Moon Lambo indicates that this drop does not reflect weakness in the XRP ecosystem, as Coin Bureau claimed. The analyst argues that the decline in activity was a healthy correction that occurred right after an abnormal spike in activity driven by macro excitement, and not a reflection of any breakdown in XRP’s fundamentals. To further support the bullish thesis, Moon Lambo pointed out that Google Trends shows that search interest in Bitcoin has declined significantly, confirming that the lull in on-chain activity is not exclusive to just XRP but reflective of a broader market cool-off. Rather than declining interest, as Coin Bureau suggests, Moon Lambo indicates that XRP is maintaining relevance and attracting steady new engagement even during quieter market conditions.

Since hitting a new all-time high almost a month ago, Bitcoin has done little to assure investors of intent to explore new price territories. Amid announcement of new US trade tariffs and rising geopolitical tensions between Israel and Iran, the premier cryptocurrency has come under bearish influences to trade as low as 101,000. At press time, Bitcoin is hovering near $104,000 following a 2.03% % decline in the past day. However, popular analytics company Glassnode has highlighted a crucial price range worth monitoring especially in the advent of a further price decline. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sees Modest Gains, But Demand Weakness Limits Breakout Potential $95,500–$97,000: Bitcoin’s Line In The Sand In a recent X post, Glassnode shares an insight into the Bitcoin market based on data from Cost Basis Distribution (CBD) heatmap. The CBD is a common on-chain metric that tracks the price levels at which tokens were last purchased or sold. When a substantial amount of coins are traded within a specific price range, it forms a supply cluster capable of acting as a support or resistance level. According to Glassnode’s report, the Bitcoin’s CBD heatmap shows the first dense supply cluster below the current market price lies at $95,500 – $97,000 price zone. Interestingly, this range rests just below the short-term holders (STH) cost basis suggesting a confluence of technical and on-chain metric to present a high-stake battleground. Therefore, Glassnode analysts explain that holding the market price above this threshold reinforces bullish momentum and boosts Bitcoin chances of re-entering a price discovery mode. However, a breakdown below the $95,500 price level could trigger panic selling supporting bearish projections for the mid-term to short-term. Interestingly, prominent market analysts including anonymous X expert with username Mr. Wall Street has backed the latter scenario stating Bitcoin is due for a further price drops. Mr. Wall Street strictly warns Bitcoin would not hold above the $100,000 psychological support zone forecasting a price fall to around the $93,000 – $95,000 which Glassnode predicts should induce widescale market liquidations. Bitcoin Market Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $103,753 with a cumulative 1.27% decline in the past week. During this period, the flagship cryptocurrency remained largely under $106,000 barring a weak price breakout between June 16 and June 17. On a monthly scale, Bitcoin has now recorded a 6.10% loss, signaling a gradual shift in momentum with bearish forces regaining control of the market. Meanwhile, with a market cap of $2.05 trillion, the “digital gold” continues to rank as the largest cryptocurrency with a reported market dominance of 64.3%.

According to an analysis posted on X by CRYPTOWZRD, Chainlink has closed the session with a bearish tone and is now testing the key $12.50 support level. With reduced weekend liquidity expected, price action is likely to remain choppy, making it essential to closely monitor intraday volatility. A clearer setup could take time to develop, but this zone may offer early clues about the token’s next move. Oversold Pressure Builds: Is LINKBTC Ready To Rebound? In his expanded commentary, CRYPTOWZRD underscored that both the LINKUSDT and LINKBTC daily candles closed firmly bearish, mirroring Bitcoin’s broader pullback and highlighting the altcoin market’s continued sensitivity to BTC’s moves. He emphasized that this pattern underscores the need for healthier bullish candles to emerge before a sustainable recovery can take hold. CRYPTOWZRD stated that LINKBTC sits in extremely oversold territory, suggesting that a positive reversal is statistically likely. Should a bounce materialize, he expects it to ignite a sharp upside spike in LINK, effectively flipping sentiment from bearish to bullish in short order. Turning to absolute price structure, CRYPTOWZRD noted that Chainlink is currently trading right at the $12.50 daily support target, a zone he considers pivotal. A decisive bullish reversal from this level, he argues, is essential to trigger an impulsive upside move and reestablish upward momentum. If buyers can reclaim control, CRYPTOWZRD identifies $16 as the next critical resistance, followed by a more substantial barrier at $19.50. Clearing these levels would signal that the tide has truly shifted, paving the way for a broader trend change rather than a short‑lived bounce. Despite this bullish roadmap, CRYPTOWZRD cautioned that Bitcoin’s weekend price action will remain a major influence on Chainlink, especially given the expected drop in liquidity. As a result, he plans to focus on lower‑time‑frame charts in the coming sessions, seeking quick scalp opportunities while waiting for clearer confirmation of direction. Chainlink Intraday Setup Builds Around $12.85 Decision Point Assessing the immediate outlook, the analyst notes that LINK’s intraday chart remains bearish and noticeably volatile, underscoring the market’s current uncertainty. Price action has been chopping around key levels, making any clear direction difficult to trust without firm confirmation. On the bullish side, the analyst points out that a decisive breakout and sustained hold above the $12.85 intraday resistance could flip sentiment. If buyers manage to establish support above this line, the setup would present a compelling long opportunity with an initial upside target near $14.40, where the next significant resistance resides. Conversely, the analyst warns that a failed attempt to hold $12.85—marked by a retest and subsequent decline- would favor the bears. Such rejection would create potential short setups, as renewed selling pressure could drag the price lower, especially if broader market conditions stay cautious.

Crypto education and media platform Coin Bureau has shared some puzzling developments on the XRP market that may hint at a prolonged bearish future. Notably, the altcoin has been a major headliner amidst a general crypto market correction in the past one month. During this period, XRP prices have dipped by over 10% with current market prices around $2.13. While crypto enthusiasts remain hopeful of market resurgence, Coin Bureau’s recent revelations shows that on-chain data suggests otherwise. XRP $3 Target Impossible Amid Declining Network Activity – Analyst According to an X post by Coin Bureau on June 20, XRP is facing an uphill task in regaining its bullish form due to network engagement crises. Notably, data from Glassnode shows that new wallets on the XRP Ledger have crashed from above 30,000 new addresses daily in January to presently below 5,000 new addresses daily. Interestingly, the chart by Glassnode presents a strong correlation between price action and network growth. The surge in wallet creation during late Q4 2024 was accompanied by a parabolic move in price that brought XRP to trade as high as $2.71. However, as the rate of new users entering the network began to decline, XRP’s price action also entered a consolidation and gradual downward trend. Amidst other developments, Coin Bureau also highlights XRP’s daily active addresses has experienced a staggering drop from 557,000 to 34,000 to further suggest a lack of retail investor interest in the XRP ecosystem. According to the market analyst, the glaring fall in network engagement indicates XRP may lack sufficient market demand to support a bullish climb towards the $3 price region which is a crucial resistance zone. However, other analysts have presented an alternative theory. In particular, a market expert with X pseudonym MoonLambo explains the previous highs in network activity seen in Q4 2024 and January coincided with a period of widespread market greed following the US general elections. The analyst claims the decline is normal alongside social trends rather and is overemphasized by Coin Bureau.

Stablecoin backing is under fresh fire after outspoken economist and gold supporter Peter Schiff took aim at tokens tied to US dollar reserves. He argues that relying on a fiat currency he views as shaky makes little sense when a more stable asset exists. His comments have reignited a long‑running debate about what should sit behind digital coins that promise a steady peg. Schiff Questions Fiat Backing According to Schiff, it makes no sense to support a token pegged to a currency that can be inflated away. “I get Bitcoin, but not US dollar stablecoins,” he wrote in a social media post. He pointed out that fiat money can be printed in large amounts, while gold has a fixed supply and centuries of use as money. Schiff said gold cannot be easily devalued by inflation or reckless monetary policies. Gold‑Backed Tokens On The Rise Based on reports, gold‑backed stablecoins are seeing more interest from investors worried about inflation and dollar weakness. Tokens like Tether Gold (XAUT) and Paxos Gold (PAXG) let users move digital claims on physical gold. These assets give the same quick transfers and high liquidity as dollar‑pegged coins but tie each token to real metal stored in vaults. Regulatory Scrutiny Intensifies Regulators across the globe are racing to establish precise regulations for stablecoin reserves. Congress members in the US are considering tighter reserve and audit requirements. Europe and Asia are creating their own regulations to achieve transparency and safeguard users. Schiff’s call for gold introduces additional context to these discussions. It could lead regulators to explore whether commodities can serve as backing for tokens under particular regimes. Market Reaction Mixed According to reports, Schiff’s tweet trended, garnering over 500,000 views within 24 hours. Crypto naysayers applauded his observation on fiat risk. Other investors cautioned that gold-backed tokens have higher fees and cumbersome custody expenses. They explained that transferring metal or establishing physical reserves introduces friction when compared with exchanging dollar-backed coins at a bank custodian. Investors also pointed out that stablecoins are widely used in lending, trading and payments within DeFi platforms. Dollar‑pegged tokens like USDC and USDT dominate these flows because they tie directly into existing banking rails. Gold‑backed coins, by contrast, tend to be held as digital bullion rather than spent on everyday transactions. Featured image Imagen, chart from TradingView
