Bitcoin has remained trapped in a tight range between $115K and $120K for the past 10 days, signaling an extended phase of price compression. With bulls unable to push the price above the $120,000 resistance, analysts are increasingly warning that a correction may be imminent. The coming days are expected to be decisive, as both technical and on-chain fundamentals point to a potential surge in volatility. According to data from CryptoQuant, a key long-term metric—the Monthly Cumulative Days Destroyed (CDD) to Yearly CDD ratio—has reached an anomalously high level of 0.25. This is occurring within the $106,000 to $118,000 price range, a zone that has seen heavy long-term holder activity. Historically, similar CDD spikes were observed during the 2014 macro peak and the 2019 corrective phase, both of which marked periods of intense market distribution. This unusual on-chain behavior reflects heightened movement of long-dormant coins, suggesting that experienced holders may be taking profits at current levels. While this doesn’t confirm an immediate trend reversal, it reinforces the idea that Bitcoin’s current consolidation is a critical inflection point—one that could either lead to renewed upside or trigger a deeper correction if bulls fail to regain momentum soon. Long-Term Holders Begin Distributing, But Rally Still Intact Top analyst Axel Adler has shared insights highlighting a key shift in Bitcoin market behavior: the sharp rise in the Monthly CDD to Yearly CDD ratio indicates that long-term holders (LTHs) are beginning to actively move dormant coins back into circulation. Historically, such elevated CDD levels have marked periods of heightened activity from experienced investors, often signaling a distribution phase where profits are realized after prolonged holding. These spikes are significant because they suggest that coins held for years are now re-entering the market. According to Adler, this kind of activity isn’t random—it typically comes from holders with deep market knowledge who recognize potential turning points. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean the rally is over. While it may cap short-term upside and introduce volatility, current macro and institutional trends provide a solid counterbalance. Treasury demand remains strong, and Bitcoin ETF inflows are still flowing steadily, acting as a buffer against excessive downward pressure. This structural support is crucial in maintaining overall bullish momentum, even as some distribution unfolds. Sideways Movement Persists Below $120K Resistance Bitcoin (BTC) continues to consolidate in a tight range, as shown in the 12-hour chart. Price action remains compressed between the $115,724 key support and the $122,077 resistance level. After a strong impulse earlier this month, momentum has clearly cooled, with BTC now oscillating within this horizontal channel for over 10 days. Notably, the price is currently hovering near $118,500—right around the 50-period moving average (blue), which has acted as dynamic support since early July. The 100-period (green) and 200-period (red) moving averages remain well below the current price, indicating that the broader trend remains bullish despite the pause in upward movement. However, volume has steadily declined during this consolidation phase, signaling indecision and a potential lack of conviction among buyers at current levels. A breakout above $122,000 could renew bullish momentum, opening the door for a run toward new highs, while a breakdown below $115,700 would expose BTC to deeper retracement levels, likely targeting the 100 MA near $109,800.

Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has disclosed a portion of its investment portfolio, revealing an involvement in cryptocurrencies that extend beyond Bitcoin (BTC). The announcement comes as Tether reports record profits in 2024, which have been used to fund these strategic investments in more than 120 companies across multiple sectors. Tether Expands Investment Portfolio Beyond Bitcoin Tether has unveiled a glimpse into its expansive investment portfolio, marking a significant pivot in its capital allocation strategy beyond just Bitcoin. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Tether, Paolo Ardoino, confirmed in an X social media post that the stablecoin firm has invested in over 120 companies as part of its Tether Investment division. He added that this number is expected to grow in the coming months and years. Notably, Ardoino disclosed that these investments are funded exclusively through the company’s record profits from 2024, which total $13.7 billion. He emphasized that none of the funds were obtained from reserves backing Tether’s stablecoin. Interestingly, Tether’s profits, generated from yield on its holdings of over $130 billion in US Treasuries, are now being directed into transformative industries through some of the most prominent companies. Its venture arm has expanded its focus past Bitcoin, now investing in areas like Artificial Intelligence (AI), renewable energy, privacy infrastructure, tokenization, agriculture, and others. When asked by Crypto Tale how this diverse portfolio supports USDT’s position amid an increasingly stringent global regulatory environment, Ardoino underscored its strategic importance. On the question of USDT’s future in Europe under the continent’s new MiCA regulations, the Tether CEO stated that the stablecoin company would only consider re-entry once the regulatory landscape offers stronger protections for both consumers and stablecoin issuers. Companies In Tether’s Venture Portfolio On its official website, Tether shared a partial list of some of the companies among the 120 it has invested in. These range from blockchain infrastructure platforms like Synonym and Holepunch, to AI-focused firms like Crystal Intelligence, and payment technology providers such as CityPay.io and Sorted Wallet. The presence of companies like Blackrock Neurotech and Adecoagro reflects a commitment to broader technological and environmental impact, reaching into neuroscience and agriculture, respectively. Tether’s investment narrative is framed not solely in financial terms but as a deliberate push toward catalyzing decentralization and empowering individuals. The stablecoin firm declared its capital as a “catalyst for change,” invested in projects that reduce reliance on centralized systems and promote global equity. This mission-driven approach is visible across its portfolio, which also includes companies involved in data sovereignty like Northern Data, cross-border financial solutions such as Quantoz and OrionX, and privacy-first communication platforms. Mansa, a DeFi fintech venture, and Oobit, a global crypto payment platform, have also joined Tether’s investment portfolio, marking another step toward the company’s push toward real-world crypto adoption. Both firms expressed appreciation for the support, aligning with Tether’s broader vision to integrate stablecoins into everyday payment systems.

Silver has had quite a run this month, up 7.40% only since the 10th of July. Today we'll take a quick look at an update of a multi-timeframe Silver analysis to spot the ongoing trends and see if the trend has still some juice. This article is a continuation of the article posted on the 15th of July where we only looked at intraday timeframes. Now let's take a step back. Read More: US Indices intraday update after the ISM PMI releases Silver Weekly Chart Silver Weekly Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView Momentum is strong for the metal but starting to test the upper bound of the RSI with around $2 to $3 missing towards the highs of the ongoing light blue weekly channel. This is a good drawing to keep on your charts to maintain a good view of where we are in the current trend. Silver Daily Chart Silver Daily Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView The precious metal has made an impulsive move higher reaching the $39 to $39.50 Resistance we observed last week. There is still work to do to test the high of the weekly channel, but the overbought conditions in the metal will make it difficult for an immediate move to happen. The 20 Day Moving Average is slowly catching up to the current prices, currently at $37.50. The two last impulsive moves (black arrows on the chart) have happened at around 20 days after the 20-Day MA rejoined the growing prices, after momentum retracted back to neutral. The higher probabilities are pointing towards a consolidation/small retracements to the trendline rather than an immediate break higher. Of course, anything can happen. Silver 4H Chart Silver Daily Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView Looking at the immediate price action, there are still some probabilities of an upside breakout, however a strong move higher on good volume with a daily close above the 39.51 previous highs would be necessary to up these odds (a simple retest won't do it for now). If a retracement lower happens, the consolidation has a high chance to hold between 37.50 (2012 Support) and 39.50 (Current resistance), particularly as these levels coincide with the May upwards trendline. If buyers maintain the prices above $39 throughout the end of the week, the odds of an upside breakout increase strongly Support Levels: Immediate intraday support 146.37 and 30m MA 50146.00 Pivot Zone (+/- 100 pips)Overnight lows 145.85Main Daily Support 142.00 regionResistance Levels: Resistance $39 to $39.539.51 last swing highs$40.50 to $41 potential Resistance at ATH and top of Rising ChannelA look back to the 2011 Silver chart Silver 2011 Daily Chart (all-year) – Source: TradingView It's interesting to look back at past performances especially when assets or financial products come back to previous historic levels.

Higher deficits seem not to have an end, and except for surprising rate hikes (unexpected for now), there doesn’t seem to be many reasons for metals to retrace essentially (except for a sudden cancelling of tariffs, substantially low odds of this happening.)

As Bitcoin continues its upward momentum, technical analysts are pointing to the long-observed Power Law resistance band. While market sentiment remains bullish, the proximity to this structural ceiling raises the possibility of increased volatility and consolidation. Analyst Highlights Technical Headwinds Facing Bitcoin Rally Despite recent bullish momentum, Bitcoin has yet to break through a key resistance level on the long-term power law chart. According to Alphractal’s post on X, these trendlines have historically mapped support and resistance with impressive precision, while effectively guiding BTC price movements over the years. To confirm a sustained bull run, BTC must decisively break above the $122,000 level, which is currently acting as the ceiling on the long-term model. The BTC Long-Term Power Law is a powerful yet underappreciated indicator in the crypto space that offers a unique perspective on the long-term price behavior. This model utilizes a logarithmic scale on both price and time. This format is rarely used in traditional markets but is particularly suited for assets with exponential growth trajectories, such as BTC. By applying linear regression to log-log data, it generates smooth predictive trend lines that help provide a macro perspective on price evolution. Bitcoin is unlikely to fall below $108,000 by the year 2033, says Joao_wedson, the creator of the Long-Term Power Law model. Such a move would violate the model historical trend. Furthermore, Alphractal notes that this tool is a must-watch for long-term investors aiming to position themselves strategically in the crypto market. Analyst Predicts Bitcoin’s Market Peak Within Six Months In an X post, analyst Colin Talks Crypto stated that it feels like Bitcoin might be roughly six months away from reaching the market top. Despite the ongoing price rally, he pointed out that sentiment remains surprisingly low, which is a key factor in his outlook. It will take time for retail to get excited, and sentiment indicators are near some of their lowest point, which suggests that BTC price could continue climbing before reaching the euphoric highs of a market top. The technical indicators are overwhelmingly bullish, which suggests that there is still room for the price to continue its ascent. The recent breakout on BTC Monthly Candle highlights sustained momentum, while the Crypto Bull & Bear Indicator (CBBI) remains relatively underheated. This suggests that the market is not yet overextended and could continue its upward trajectory. Additionally, the global M2 money supply continues its upward trajectory, while injecting liquidity into the financial system that can fuel asset price gains. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has reached new all-time highs, while reflecting positive investor confidence and risk appetite that often extends into the crypto markets. The Government and corporate BTC treasuries have barely even begun to take shape. Colin mentioned that the hype around institutional adoption is still on the horizon as we approach the market top.

The Boss, a crypto analyst, recently noted on a X post that Litecoin (LTC) is firmly holding its long-term upward trend that began back in 2020. According to his analysis, LTC has consistently bounced off this key ascending trendline, highlighting its ongoing relevance in the current market structure. As price action continues to respect this support, The Boss points out that the next crucial zones to watch are the yellow lines representing potential resistance areas marked by Fibonacci levels that could shape LTC’s next major move. Positive Technical Indicators In his analysis, The Boss stated that Litecoin’s momentum is strengthening, as reflected by the RSI (Relative Strength Index), which is currently around 64. This level also indicates growing buying strength in the market, suggesting that bulls are gradually gaining control and pushing prices higher without yet hitting overbought conditions. Moving on to momentum indicators, the Boss explained that the MACD is trading in positive territory and has experienced a recent bullish crossover. This signal reinforces the rising momentum seen in Litecoin’s price action and the potential continuation of the existing trend if buyers maintain pressure. Additionally, Moving Averages (MA) are working in Litecoin’s favor. The Boss explained that $LTC is trading above both short- and long-term moving averages, particularly holding above the 50-day and 200-day MAs, which further supports the bullish outlook. These moving averages are critical support levels, and staying above them often attracts more bullish interest. Looking ahead, Fibonacci Zones provide key technical targets. The analyst emphasized that the $100 – $112 range remains a key technical resistance zone. A breakout above this level could open the path toward higher yellow-line targets, which are the next logical price areas to watch if momentum continues. Channeling Strength: LTC Holds Its Bullish Structure The Boss, in his structural analysis of Litecoin, noted that the price of LTC has remained within a well-defined ascending channel that has been in place since 2020. This long-term trendline has repeatedly acted as a strong support level, providing a foundation for upward moves. As long as LTC stays above this trendline, The Boss maintains a bullish mid-to-long-term outlook. This suggests that the overall trend remains intact, with potential for further gains if the price continues to respect this channel. In summary, The Boss maintains a bullish stance, underpinned by a combination of positive RSI and MACD signals, strong support from major moving averages, and clear resistance zones. He suggests that a push through the $100 – $112 range could trigger a larger upward move for Litecoin, taking aim at those higher yellow-line targets on the chart.

XRP/USD (Ripple) appears to have arrested its steep decline today with the cryptocurrency bouncing from just below the psychological $3.00 handle. Ripple dropped as much as 19% from its fresh all-time high around the $3.65 mark to a low of $2.96 earlier in the day. However, the move proved short lived as bulls returned to the party pushing XRP/USD back above the $3.00 to trade around $3.21 at the time of writing. XRP Futures Open Interest Cools - More Downside Ahead? Interest in XRP on the derivatives market is cooling off after a recent spike in futures Open Interest (OI) to $10.94 billion, the highest this year. According to Coinalyze, all Open Interest is down around 9% in the last 24 hours. The drop in XRP's price also led to $62.5 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours. Most of these losses came from long positions, which accounted for about $51.3 million, while short positions saw $11.2 million in liquidations. Source: Coinalyze Open Interest (OI) is an important metric in the derivatives market because it shows the total number of outstanding contracts (like futures or options) that have not been settled or closed. It gives traders and investors insight into the level of activity and interest in a particular asset. Falling Open Interest (OI) means traders are closing their positions, which could suggest uncertainty, taking profits, or declining interest in the asset. This is no surprise as many market participants may have taken profit once fresh all-time highs were reached on July 18. Ripple (XRP/USD) Co-Founder Cashing Out XRP Profits? Since July 17, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has transferred 50 million XRP, worth about $175 million, to exchanges, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT. Social media users are criticizing the 65-year-old Silicon Valley executive, accusing him of insider trading with Ripple. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), ZachXBT revealed that the XRP was sent to four different wallet addresses, with around $140 million of it ending up on exchanges or services. This news has caused XRP’s price to drop over 9% in the last 24 hours, now trading at $3.21 during Thursday’s US session. Ripple’s token had fallen 19% from its all-time high of $3.65. ZachXBT’s investigation shows that three wallets received 30 million XRP combined, while a fourth wallet got 10 million XRP. Two newly activated wallets were also credited with 5 million XRP each, totaling 50 million XRP moved in less than a week. When asked how much XRP Larsen still holds, ZachXBT said the wallets still control over 2.81 billion XRP. At the current price of $3.11 per token, this is worth $8.7 billion, which is about 4.6% of XRP’s $183 billion market cap. These transfers happened just after XRP hit a local high of $3.60 last Friday before dropping below $3.10. The price drop, partly blamed on the selloff, has led to accusations that Larsen is profiting by selling at XRP’s peak and “dumping” on retail investors. Looking at the big picture though, one would expect whales to at some point cash out some of their holdings when fresh all-time highs are being made. Technical Analysis - XRP/USD From a technical standpoint, XRP/USD made a brief foray below the psychological $3.00 handle before bulls stepped in. The RSI period-14 has left overbought territory which is a sign of a shift in momentum. However, the daily candle may still hold the key, a hammer candle close on the daily timeframe could be a sign that bullish interest remains strong. We also have a golden cross pattern which came to fruition on Tuesday as the 50-day MA crossed above the 200-day MA. This is a sign of bullish momentum despite the golden cross being a lagging indicator in many ways. This leaves market participants a bit undecided, as the RSI hints at a rise in bearish momentum while the golden cross hints at bullish momentum. Immediate support rests at $3.05 before the psychological $3.00 handle comes into play. The daily low at $2.96 if broken could lead to further downside with a trendline retest not completely out of the question. Resistance may be found at $3.39 with a break above looking toward the $3.50 before the ATH at $3.65 comes back into focus.

Freegold Ventures’ (TSX: FVL) shares soared to a five-year high on Thursday after a resource update for the company’s Golden Summit project in Alaska lifted the contained indicated metal by 42% to 17.2 million ounces. The update gives the project in central Alaska 431.94 million indicated tonnes grading 1.24 grams gold per tonne, a 15% increase in grade over the previous estimate from September 2024, Freegold said on Thursday. Inferred resources now total 357.61 million tonnes at 1.04 grams gold, while contained gold increases by 16% to 11.9 million ounces. Golden Summit is about 30 km northeast of Fairbanks and 6 km north of Kinross Gold’s (TSX: K; NYSE: KGC) Fort Knox mine. “[The update] highlights the potential of Golden Summit and emphasizes the need for perseverance in some projects,” Freegold President and CEO Kristina Walcott said in an email to The Northern Miner. “The past five years have been transformative for the company, and we expect 2025 to be another exciting year, with 30,000 metres of drilling planned.” Huge resource growth The resource for Golden Summit has grown enormously since Freegold’s initial report in 2011, which outlined 7.79 million indicated tonnes grading 0.69 gram gold for 174,000 oz.; and 27 million inferred tonnes at 0.60 gram gold for 526,000 ounces. Freegold shares shot up to C$1.44 apiece on Thursday at mid-day, for a market capitalization of C$765.42 million. Thursday’s update incorporates results from more than 25,000 metres of drilling done last year, as well as recoveries from Freegold’s metallurgical program. Upgrading to indicated This year’s drill program is focused on upgrading inferred resources to indicated in support of a pre-feasibility study scheduled to start later in the year. The program is to comprise infill and expansion drilling and grade enhancement. Drilling should also enhance the resource and define a smaller, higher-grade starter pit, with the aim of reducing operating and initial capital costs. A 2016 preliminary economic assessment for Golden Summit gives it a post-tax net present value (at 5% discount) of $188 million, an internal rate of return of 19.6% and a payback period of 3.3 years. Initial capital costs are pegged at $88 million. The mine could produce 2.36 million oz. over a 24-year life, with average annual production of 96,000 ounces.

Resolute Mining (ASX, LSE: RSG) published on Thursday an initial resource estimate for the Bantaco project near its Mako open-pit gold mine in Senegal, where mining is due to end soon and stockpile processing is expected to begin this month. Bantaco is one of two potential satellite deposits that the Africa-focused miner is looking to develop to extend Mako’s mine life, with the other being Tomboronkoto. Both are within trucking distance of the Mako mill. Resolute says the Bantaco project would specifically create additional optionality and flexibility due to its “favourable development conditions” and could be the first deposit to enter production. The initial resource estimate is based on results of shallow drilling to date on the Bantaco South and West prospects. Together, they have an inferred gold resource of 266,000 oz., with potential to grow after further drilling at the Bantaco Main zone, which is set to commence later this year. “This milestone demonstrates the excellent progress our exploration team is actively making to successfully extend the life of mine at our Mako gold operation,” stated Chris Eger, managing director and CEO of Resolute Mining. With the latest update, the Tomboronkoto and Bantaco deposits now have a combined resource estimate of over 600,000 oz., with possibilities for expansion based on ongoing exploration. Together, these projects likely have the potential to provide another 5-10 years of mining in Senegal, Resolute said. “The Bantaco project is key to the extension of Mako and has the possibility to be developed ahead of the Tomboronkoto project, allowing us to build on our strong mining heritage in the region and established stakeholder relationships, which facilitate a clear development timeline,” Eger added. Eger assumed the CEO role on a full-time basis earlier this year following the resignation of Terry Holohan, who was detained in Mali last November amid a tax dispute with the African nation’s junta-led government.

Crypto analyst Crypto Bullet has alluded to a technical pattern for Ethereum, which mirrors its 2019/2020 price action. Based on the similarities, the analyst gave a breakdown of what to expect from ETH in the coming months. Ethereum Shows Descending Broadening Pattern In an X post, Crypto Bullet stated that Ethereum has shown an impressive recovery and is now starting to resemble a Descending Broadening Wedge pattern. He further noted that this pattern is almost identical to the one which ETH had between 2019 and 2020. The analyst added that the picture looks very bullish right now. Between 2019 and 2020, when this pattern emerged, the altcoin rallied from around $180 to $700 in just six months. Further commenting on the current Ethereum price action, Crypto Bullet revealed that the altcoin is testing the resistance at around $3,700 for the third time. He believes that ETH will eventually break out from this range. However, the analyst warned that there may be a 10 to 15% pullback around that area before that. Meanwhile, Crypto Bullet assured that Ethereum will rally hard once it breaks out from this formidable resistance. He predicts that this breakout will lead to a new all-time high (ATH) for ETH, meaning the altcoin is likely to reach $4,900 on the next uptrend. The analyst also stated that the cycle top target for ETH is between $8,000 and $10,000. Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto is also confident that Ethereum can reach $10,000 before this market cycle ends. In an X post, he stated that the euphoria stage will start when ETH breaks a new all-time high (ATH). He indicated that the break above ATH will spark a rally to between $7,000 and $10,000. Once that happens, the analyst believes that a massive bear market will ensue. ETH Is Yet To Enter The Banana Zone In an X post, crypto analyst Ted stated that Ethereum is yet to enter the banana zone. He noted that right now, the altcoin is going through a correction after pulling a 70% rally from its April 2025 lows. The analyst further opined that there will be some sideways accumulation before ETH breaks above $4,100. However, once that happens, he predicts that Ethereum will record the “most violent rally.” His accompanying chart showed that ETH could rally to a new ATH of around $7,000 on the first leg up. Based on the chart, Ted also believes that the altcoin could reach $14,000, $41,000, and $92,000 at some point. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,563, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The euro is showing limited movement on Thursday. In the North American session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.1763, down 0.03% on the day. Earlier, the euro climbed to a high of 1.1788, its highest level since July 7. ECB stays on the sidelines, cites trade tension uncertainty The European Central Bank's decision to maintain the key deposit rate at 2.0% was significant but not a surprise. With the hold, the ECB ended a streak of lowering rates at seven consecutive meetings. The ECB has been aggressive, chopping 250 basis points in just over a year. The ECB statement said that inflation was falling in line with the Bank's forecasts and that future rate decisions would be data dependent. President Lagarde has said that the easing cycle is almost down, but the markets are expecting at least one more rate cut before the end of the year. Is an EU-US trade agreement around the corner? The European Union and the United States are locked in negotiations over tariffs, with hopes that an agreement can be reached, on the heels of the US-Japan deal earlier this week. US President Trump has threatened to hit the EU with 30% tariffs if a deal is not made by August 1, but there are signals that the sides will agree to 15% tariffs on European imports, as was the case in the US-Japan agreement. If an agreement is reached, it will greatly reduce the uncertainty around tariffs and will make it easier for the ECB to lower rates and make more accurate forecasts for inflation and growth. US services accelerate, manufacturing contracts In the US, Services PMI rose to 55.2 in July, up from 52.9 in June and above the market estimate of 53.0. This pointed to strong expansion and marked the fastest pace of growth in seven months. Manufacturing headed the opposite direction, falling from 52.6 in June, a 37-month high, to 49.5. This was the first contraction since December, with new orders and employment falling. EUR/USD Technical EUR/USD is testing resistance at 1.1771. Above, there is resistance at 1.17811.1753 and 1.1743 are the next support levels EURUSD 4-Hour Chart, July 24, 2024 Opinions are the authors'; not necessarily that of OANDA Business Information & Services, Inc. or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, officers or directors.

Authorities in China’s Jiangxi province have identified permitting issues at eight lithium mines in Yichun, one of the country’s key production hubs, as Beijing tightens oversight of its critical mineral sector. The Yichun Natural Resources Bureau recently issued notices to the mine operators requiring them to provide resource reserve verification reports after finding discrepancies between their licensed mining rights and the actual minerals being extracted, according a report by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. It follows similar measures taken last week in the western province of Qinghai, where local authorities in Haixi Prefecture ordered the shutdown of a mine run by Zangge Mining until proper lithium extraction permits are obtained. According to ministry findings, many of the resource extraction activities across the province’s salt lakes are not licensed for lithium, only minerals like potash. The moves come amid a broader regulatory push to curb illegal mining practices and bring greater discipline to the lithium supply chain, which has been expanding so rapidly in recent years that it even outpaced demand from the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Yichun, dubbed the “lithium capital” of China, holds a significant share of the country’s lithium output, primarily sourced from a rock known as lepidolite. Compared to the brine lakes on China’s western plateaus and the spodumene rock in southwestern Sichuan province, Yichun’s lepidolite-rich mountains are more accessible to battery makers. To date, the city has attracted investments from hundreds of key players in the EV sector, such as CATL and Gotion High Tech. Analysts say that while enforcement actions in Yichun could temporarily disrupt production, it may also help remove irregular players and stabilize the sector over the long term. According to Founder Securities, a China-based financial services company, these measures will “help the industry clean up excess supply.” Lithium prices in China have been soaring since some of the production in its key areas was halted last week. On Thursday, the main contract of lithium carbonate futures hit the daily upper limit, closing with a gain of over 7%, marking the highest level since March 2025. Shares of lithium miners also jumped.

We just received the first round (and only) of key US Data for this week with the ISM PMIs. Services keep dragging up the overall numbers, showing a 55.2 beat vs 53.0 expectations, while Manufacturing saw its first yearly decrease and now indicating contraction (49.0 vs 52.5 exp). The US Indices have opened mixed and have been moving a bit erratically amid some rewiring of flows, relative strength and Deal headlines. This is typical of the ongoing Earnings season. We will try to make some sense out of the price action by looking at all 3 majors US Indices' intraday charts – Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Read More: USDJPY re-enters its range after US-Japan trade deal—will it hold? Intraday charts for all Major US IndicesDow Jones 30m Chart Dow Jones 30m Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView After testing the January all-time high levels (45,060) at the close but failing to breach it, some sellers have mean-reverted the action overnight, marking pre-open lows on the US 30 CFD at 44,692. Despite the contraction shown in manufacturing, some buyers are stepping in to test the overnight short-term downtrend – breaching above 44,920 on a 30m close would give them the extra hand they might be requiring to try to finally push to new ATH but watch if they fail to do so. Other indices would however need to follow higher to drag the index and buyers would have to get stronger to avoid profit-taking to settle in. A rejection of current levels would point towards a retest of the Immediate Pivot Zone near 44,650 and would consolidate the ongoing rangebound action.

Crypto markets awoke on Wednesday to the first meaningful bout of selling in more than a month, and Kev Capital TA did not sound surprised. In a late-night livestream, the analyst told viewers that Bitcoin’s failure to clear the “brick-wall” band between $120,000 and $123,000 had made an altcoin shake-out “the most obvious pullback spot ever,” capping four straight weeks of euphoric gains across Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, XRP and the rest of the sector. Crypto Bulls Crushed: Why Altcoins Ran Out Of Gas “Daily RSIs were at ninety on everything, including ETH, while Bitcoin was pinned under one-twenty,” he said. “That is a textbook sell wall. You don’t blast through that after running straight up for a month.” His chart of Total-2—the market-cap index that strips out Bitcoin—showed the gauge banging into the exact horizontal ceiling that had turned back altcoins in May, August and November 2021, again in December 2024, and once more in January this year. Each rebuff, he reminded the audience, had sparked corrections of 30-to-60 percent in the majors and far larger drawdowns in the speculative tail. Kev’s core message was that nothing in the current tape resembles a lasting top for the cycle. The move, he argued, is a pressure-release that clears excess leverage and restores “risk-free long exposure” for disciplined traders who skimmed profits on the way up. The fulcrum remains Bitcoin. Until the largest asset can establish weekly closes above the 1.0886 Fibonacci extension at $119,964, altcoins will “run out of gas.” He located initial Bitcoin support at $116,400, with deeper cushions at the $112–113k band and, in a worst-case flush, the $106.8k shelf. A break below the first of those levels “isn’t necessary” in his view, but he warned new entrants against treating a ten-percent dip in their favorite microcap as a buying opportunity: “If Total-2 drops another thirty percent, your altcoin is going down a lot more than ten.” Why, then, does he remain upbeat? Kev cited a confluence of on-chain and macro tailwinds that, in his back-testing, have never failed to resolve higher. Bitcoin’s weekly Hash Ribbons flashed a buy signal nine weeks ago and has advanced only eight percent since—far below the historical mean of thirty-eight to one-hundred-one percent that materialises two to nine weeks after the trigger. A second, still-pending buy signal is “coming within the next week or two,” stacking probabilistic odds in favour of a leg higher. At the same time, he noted, the Federal Reserve’s quantitative-tightening program is “barely selling anything on the balance sheet,” while Truth Inflation’s real-time gauge pins headline CPI at 2.0–2.1 percent. A spate of tariff de-escalations—including a tentative, across-the-board fifteen-percent cut in EU-US duties announced moments before he went live—suggests that inflation risks are skewing lower rather than higher. “As long as the macro stays quiet—low inflation, steady labour market, dovish policy projections—valuations can march north,” he argued, adding that upcoming earnings from Google, Tesla and the rest of Big Tech will feed directly into crypto multiples because “the guidance is correlated whether you like it or not.” Seasonality is the wild card. August and September are notoriously fickle for risk assets, a period he likened to “the biggest vacation month of the year and then back-to-school.” Yet he stressed that cyclicality alone cannot trump a supportive macro backdrop. Instead, he expects a period of choppy consolidation—anchored by Bitcoin’s tussle with $120k and the golden-pocket bounce in Bitcoin Dominance—before the market’s next sustained advance. “We are like the running back; the offensive line has opened the hole, but we haven’t burst through it yet,” he said. “If macro stays resilient, this is the year it finally happens.” His forward timeline therefore hinges on two visible catalysts: A decisive Bitcoin breakout above $123,000. When that prints on a multi-day close, he believes the four-year Total-2 ceiling will snap, unleashing capital rotation back into ETH and the broader alt market. “Everything leads back to Bitcoin,” he said. “Crack that wall and the catch-up trade reignites.” Second is the continuation of the benign macro mix through Q3. Should inflation hold near two percent and the Fed confirm an end-to-QT schedule in its September meeting, Kev projects the next Hash-Ribbons signal will “play out as violently bullish as the model has ever shown,” delivering what he calls the “last six-month window” of the cycle. Asked in chat “when this pullback will be over,” the analyst refused to pin a date on it. “I’m not looking at the clock,” he replied. “Time doesn’t matter; the levels do.” Still, his body language betrayed optimism: he plans no further sales, sees no need to add until volatility subsides, and—despite acknowledging August’s chop potential—spoke repeatedly about “riding what I have” into the final quarter of 2025. In other words, the cool-down now underway is less a bear-market omen than the mandatory breather before a potential breakout. Traders who missed the July run are advised to watch Bitcoin’s $116k and $112k buffers for signs of an exhaustion wick, monitor Bitcoin Dominance for a failure rally below sixty percent, and keep an eye on the next CPI print. If those dominoes fall in line, Kev Capital is confident the real fireworks—an altcoin surge that carries Total-2 into price discovery for the first time since 2021—will begin “sooner than most people think, and definitely while everyone’s still on summer holiday.” At press time, TOTAL2 stood at $1.44 trillion.

Orla Mining (TSX: OLA)(NYSE: ORLA) stopped pit‑mining activities at its Camino Rojo oxide mine in central Mexico after heavy rains triggered a pit‑wall slide. The stock plunged. The incident took place early Thursday along the temporary north wall of the open pit, which included ore material expected to be mined as part of the ultimate open pit, Orla said in a statement. There were no injuries or equipment damage due the material movement, which was detected early by site monitoring systems. Vancouver-based Orla is assessing the impact of the incident on full-year production targets. Camino Rojo had been expected to churn out 110,000–120,000 oz. of gold this year after producing 55,100 oz. in the first six months of 2025, including 25,100 oz. in the second quarter. The full-year production forecast could be revised depending on the duration of the mining shutdown, Desjardins Securities mining analyst Allison Carson said. Scotia Capital said stockpiles would support output but reduced its full-year estimate by 5%. “The mining suspension and reduction in pit access means the company must rely more heavily on stockpile processing throughout the third quarter to support gold production,” Scotia Capital mining analyst Ovais Habib said in a note. “Although the tonnage of material involved in the event was not reported at this time, we expect that the existing stockpiles are adequate to support operations until mining can resume, but reduced grade and additional cost/capital for rehabilitation could negatively impact 2025 production and all-in sustaining costs.” Forecast output Orla shares tumbled 14% to C$13.83 apiece in Thursday morning trading in Toronto, giving the company a market value of about C$4.5 billion. The stock has traded between C$4.60 and C$17.45 in the past year. Habib cut his to 270,500 oz. due to lower stacked grades at Camino Rojo for the rest of the year. Orla’s 2025 guidance calls for total output to reach 280,000-300,000 ounces. Camino Rojo represents 34% of Scotia Capital’s 2025 production estimate for Orla and 38% of the company’s net asset value estimate. Authorities in Mexico have been notified to ensure safe operations, which the company said remains its top priority. A “comprehensive analysis” is being carried out to ensure the stability of mining operations, Orla said. Pit access has been restricted to the necessary technical and operating personnel during the temporary mining halt, Orla also said. This will support the appropriate geotechnical assessments required for remediation and the safe resumption of activities. Subsidence While there’s been no impact on the environment, Orla said it will need to re-establish rain diversion channels to prevent further material subsidence in the pit. Exploration work at Camino Rojo is likely to be undisrupted as most of the drilling on the underground sulphides is conducted from surface, outside the pit, Habib also said. Camino Rojo is one of Orla’s two producing assets, along with the Musselwhite underground mine in Ontario. The company is also advancing the development‑stage South Railroad project in Nevada. Orla’s initial resource for Camino Rojo, released last month, outlined 3.9 million contained gold oz. grading 2.45 grams gold per tonne. The underground deposit hosts 50.1 million measured and indicated tonnes at 10.6 grams silver and 0.25% zinc for 17.05 million oz. silver and 278 million lb. zinc, Orla said June 5. The resource is based on more than 400,000 metres of drilling under the producing oxide open pit at Camino Rojo, which is located in Zacatecas state about 620 km northwest of Mexico City.

USDJPY hasn’t failed to generate some volatility in the past few weeks. The pair, which had seen some steep up moves since the beginning of July, has been met by some sharp realities for its bulls. Such Daily ranges are strong, and without weekly closes or a substantial fundamental change, Technicals indicate that they are expected to hold. In today’s analysis, however, we will try to spot if anything from the new situation emerging in Japan has the potential to create a real upside breakout or if the range is deemed to continue. Also we'll be monitoring the effect of the ISM PMI results on the pair – Services PMI Came in with a beat (55.2 vs 53.0 exp) and Manufacturing PMI missed (49.5 vs 52.5) The immediate reaction is one of an USD selloff but this is subject to change Read More: Pump-fake from the US Dollar — North American Mid-Week Market Update For a quick reminder, Japanese elections happened and the Ruling coalition (LDP + Komeito) lost its majority in the Upper House for the first time in a while. The present government had a lot of influence on the dovish policies from the Bank of Japan, and with the ongoing situation, Japan's PM Ishiba might have to depart from his functions (he indicated he should stay to treat with the US Deals) As a matter of fact, the Deal got reached yesterday, further confirming the newfound boost in the Yen that had already started to happen around the elections – There has been talks about the Deal not being implemented if "Trump is not happy" Scott Bessent said, but that would be a political mistake. PM Ishiba pledged to make sure that the deal concludes. Let's now take a look at the technicals to see if they indicate anything new to tilt the scales further. Can we learn anything new from Client Positioning? Trader Sentiment for USDJPY – July 24, OANDA Labs Positioning isn't giving us much – normally providing us with a decent contrarian indicator and with a small tilt long, the assumption would be for some small downside correction, however the difference in positioning is not so big. USDJPY Technical AnalysisDaily Chart USDJPY Daily Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView Momentum shut back to neutral after the past 3 sessions of US Dollar selloffs after rejecting the 200-Day Moving Average and participants will now be testing the Immediate 146.00 Pivot region. Any downside breach would see the 50-Day MA as support (currently at 145.20), with no other key zone for buyers to step in before the 142.00 Main Daily support. 4H Chart USDJPY 4H Chart, July 24 2025 – Source: TradingView Sellers regained some strength in the past few sessions and will have to push below the Pivot zone mentioned just before to further maintain the range. Some mean-reversion happened at the 4H-200 MA at 145.72 which will be a key barometer for immediate momentum (breach below, bearish – Holding above, bullish) There is some ongoing selling after the PMI data but some decent volumes would be required to retest the overnight levels. 30m Chart Looking closer to the 30m intraday timeframe, the rejection at the immediate downwards trendline after testing 146.87 highs in the morning session does show bearish momentum.

Bitcoin saw a modest retracement yesterday, dipping slightly but continuing to trade within a tight range between key support and resistance levels. While the broader altcoin market faces heightened volatility and notable losses, BTC remains relatively resilient, yet momentum appears uncertain. Analysts warn that if sentiment weakens, a broader correction could unfold. Top analyst Darkfost highlighted a critical dynamic now unfolding: the vulnerability of Short-Term Holders (STH). These investors, who entered the market during recent price surges, hold Bitcoin at significantly higher cost bases. As price action stalls or retraces, they’re typically the first to capitulate, creating increased selling pressure. With altcoins already under stress, all eyes remain on whether Bitcoin can hold above current support levels or if it, too, will start to crack under short-term selloffs. This phase could act as a stress test for recent buyers, while long-term holders and institutional participants continue to monitor key price zones. Key Realized Price Levels Suggest Bitcoin Structure Remains Bullish Darkfost has shared a chart offering a deep dive into Bitcoin’s realized prices across various holding cohorts, particularly focusing on Short-Term Holders (STHs). These metrics are proving crucial in identifying support zones that could be defended if the price continues to correct in the short term. The broader realized price for Bitcoin currently stands at $50.8K, while the annual average is significantly higher at $87.5K. More critically, the realized price for STHs—those who purchased coins recently—is positioned at $103.9K. Breaking this down further, we see realized prices by time held: STH 3m–6m: $88.2K STH 1m–3m: $104.1K STH 1w–1m: $113K These figures represent the average price at which different groups of recent investors acquired their coins. As such, they serve as psychological and technical support levels during corrections. With Bitcoin currently consolidating after a small retracement, bulls are eyeing these realized price zones to gauge whether the structure remains bullish. The $104K level, in particular, is essential—it aligns closely with the 1m–3m STH realized price and could serve as a decisive line for sentiment and price defense. If buyers can hold BTC above this level, the market’s bullish structure will likely remain intact, suggesting healthy consolidation rather than trend reversal. Conversely, losing it could trigger short-term panic selling among recent entrants. Bitcoin Price Analysis: Key Levels Hold After New Highs Bitcoin continues to consolidate in a tight range after setting fresh all-time highs earlier this month. As seen in the 3-day chart, BTC is holding above $115,724—a key horizontal support—and below immediate resistance near $122,077. This consolidation range has remained intact for over a week, reflecting both strong demand and hesitation near psychological resistance. Despite the recent small pullback, the overall market structure remains bullish. Price is trading well above the 50-day ($98,536), 100-day ($93,833), and 200-day ($76,201) simple moving averages, which continue to slope upward. This confirms strong medium- and long-term momentum. Volume has declined slightly during the current range-bound movement, indicating a pause after the aggressive rally from below $100,000. However, bulls are clearly defending the $115,000–$116,000 region, a zone that coincides with the top of the previous breakout. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Newmont (NYSE, ASX: NEM; TSX: NGT) is working to restore communications with three workers trapped underground at its Red Chris mine in northwest British Columbia after contact with them was cut off Wednesday following two collapses. The company has also deployed a remote-controlled scoop to remove debris and restore access beyond the accident site, a Newmont spokesperson said on Thursday morning. Three business partner employees remain trapped inside the copper-gold mine, and before communication was cut off on Wednesday, they had confirmed they safely entered a refuge bay. It contains food, water and ventilation sufficient to support an extended stay. Newmont suspended operations at Red Chris following the collapses on Tuesday. Shares in Newmont, the world’s largest gold miner by production and market capitalization, fell 1.6% on Thursday morning in Toronto to C$82.08 apiece, valuing the company at C$90.36 billon. Refuge chambers stable The debris blocking access to the underground area is about 20 to 30 metres long and 7 to 8 metres high, the company estimates. The refuge chamber isn’t in the same area as where the collapse occurred and is believed to be stable and well-ventilated. The MineARC refuge chambers are designed to support 16 people, with other chambers nearby and accessible if needed, Newmont said. Working with industry partners, Newmont said it has deployed specialized drones to assess the geotechnical conditions underground. Red Chris, in production since 2015, is a joint venture owned and operated 70% by Newmont and 30% by Imperial Metals (TSX: III). The mine is about 80 km south of Dease Lake and 1,050 km north of Vancouver.

How to Increase the Chances of winning Online Slot Machines The most obvious difference between online and land-based slot machine games is the obvious physical distinctions in the location of the machines. In the land-based slot machine, the gamer pulls an lever a certain number of times to spin the reels and take home a reward. If a slot spins, no matter how many times you pull the handle or pull the lever, it simply stops and does not count. This is one of the reasons why playing slots in land-based casinos can be more expensive than playing online casinos. Online casinos don’t suffer from this issue because their machines can spin 1000 times before the reels stop. Slot machine games online require a different approach. Players must be familiar with the way each machine operates and the strategies they can apply when playing slots. Online slot machines offer smaller jackpot amounts than live casino jackpots. To beat online slot machines players must know how each online slot machine functions and what to expect when they hit the reels.

When you select a random number generator, you have the option to pick numbers that will produce more regular results. Thus, it will be easier to identify which number will bring you the jackpots.

In this way, it can increase the odds of hitting at minimum one jackpot every time. A blazing star online computerized software program that lets you choose the number of times you want to bet. Automated software allows you to play whenever you like on the slot machines. It is essential to configure the software to match the casino you’re playing at. You must set a minimum of 100 spins per spin. This will ensure that you don’t waste more time at the casino than you can afford to. – hot fiesta slot Re-buy bonuses are available at casinos.

New reports suggest that Tether is planning to re-enter the US market, driven by more favourable crypto regulations in the country. Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, in an interview with Bloomberg on 23 July 2025, pointed out that the company is making progress in its US expansion strategy following the signing of the historic stablecoin legislation last week. During his interview, Ardoino stated, “We are well in progress of establishing our US domestic strategy. It’s going to be focused on the US institutional markets, providing an efficient stablecoin for payments but also for interbank settlements and trading.” Analysts expect the GENIUS ACT (Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins) to redefine global finance by opening the doors for banks, payment networks and technology firms to issue their stablecoins. In 2021, regulators banned Tether from operating in the US and required the company to pay a hefty $60 million in fines to New York State and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to settle false and misleading claims. However, despite legal scrutiny, Tether’s USDT has kept its momentum as it continues to lead the global stablecoin market with over $162 billion in circulation, an 18% increase since the start of this year. Explore: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in July 2025 Tether To Keep Focusing On Local Markets Outside US During the interview, Ardoino mentioned that Tether has no plans to go public, unlike Circle, which went public in June this year and saw its stock surge by more than 500%. “In general, we are not interested in becoming a public company,” he said. He further added that the company will continue to focus on emerging markets in addition to expanding in the US. Ardoino explained that Tether’s global reach gives the company a competitive advantage, as proven with USDT’s strong adoption in Latin America, Africa and Asia, further cementing the notion that the company understands local markets better than US-based stablecoin issuers. A report published by Bloomberg on 23 May 2025, noted that most of the assets held by Tether complied with the new stablecoin bill, apart from Bitcoins and secured loans. Tether has long been under scrutiny due to its failure to provide proof of reserves. However, during the interview, when asked about the same, Ardoino responded positively and explained that Tether has been in touch with auditing firms in recent times. While the Big Four accounting firms do not audit the company’s reserves, BDO Italia SpA, the Italian chapter of the firm BDO Global, signs off on Tether’s quarterly attestations. According to its latest attestation released in March 2025, Tether had total assets valued at $149.28 billion against $143.68 billion in liabilities for fiat-backed stablecoin holdings. Explore: Top 20 Crypto to Buy in July 2025 US Centric Coin To Launch Soon? Speaking to a publication last week, coinciding with President Trump’s signing of the GENIUS Act, Ardoino confirmed Tether’s commitment to complying with the new bill and announced plans to meet foreign issuer standards. He also confirmed that Tether will operate two separate versions of its stablecoins. Ardoino stated, “Institutions are used to super-efficient markets, and they will count the single basis point; and so, for that reason, we need to build something that is proper for this new market.

An abrupt XRP sell‑off by more than -15% on 23 July was driven overwhelmingly by aggressive market selling on South Korean exchange Upbit, according to independent analyst Dom (@traderview2), who published multi‑venue order book heatmaps and cumulative volume delta (CVD) data to X. “Korean market Upbit chose violence today on XRP,” he wrote, quantifying “Over 75 million XRP sold at market over the last 24 hours.” Why Did XRP Crash Yesterday? The spot CVD chart shared by Dom isolates net market buying and selling across major venues. While Binance, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken and Bitstamp CVD lines remained comparatively flat to modestly negative, the Upbit CVD (purple line) plunged in a near‑one‑way trajectory to roughly –75 million XRP during the period, mirroring the intraday decline in the average spot price plotted alongside it. The analyst stated: “The pump AND dump was brought to you by Upbit… The orderbooks have been pretty empty, thus the quick move down today.” Concurrent order book heatmaps for Binance, Coinbase, Binance USDⓈ‑M perpetuals and Kraken show a sharp breakdown from recent highs above $3.5 toward the mid‑$3.1 area during the session. Visible liquidity pockets were thin above price, with bids clustering just below, consistent with Dom’s observation that depleted depth amplified the impact of the concentrated Upbit flow. He added that “We have reached some bids around $3, which I am monitoring now,” emphasizing that “I think we want that area hold to keep shorter term bull structure in tact.” The same source underscored that the Korean venue had also dominated the preceding upside phase. On 11 July, Dom attributed the earlier surge to localized demand: “XRP pump brought to you mainly by the Koreans on Upbit. Binance market tailing behind. All other venues basically flat (Coinbase barely participating). Nearly 30M $XRP market bought on top exchanges over the last hour.” That earlier burst of concentrated buying was later offset by the latest wave of concentrated selling, producing what he characterized as a “pump AND dump” sequence centered on Upbit’s order flow. Taken together, the data depict a two‑stage move in which initial Korean spot accumulation drove price expansion, followed days later by heavy Korean liquidation into a structurally thin global order book, accelerating XRP’s descent. Dom’s monitoring focus now rests on whether the identified bid interest around $3 can stabilize price and preserve the shorter‑term bullish structure he references. As of the charts published, that support zone remained the critical near‑term level. Notably, derivative positioning intensified the move: CoinGlass data shows that XRP futures long positions suffered approximately $82.8 million in liquidations yesterday, second only to Ether and ahead of Bitcoin, with total market long liquidations exceeding $630 million. This forced deleveraging likely compounded the spot pressure as cascading margin calls translated into additional market sell orders, reinforcing the rapid downside extension initiated on Upbit. At press time, XRP traded at $3.09.

EU ECB Main Refinancing Operations Rate: 2.15% vs 2.15% expected, meets consensusEU ECB Rate On Deposit Facility: 2.00% vs 2.00% expected, meets consensusEU ECB Marginal Lending Facility : 2.40% vs 2.40% expected, meets consensusECB Interest Rate (July 24th 2025): Eurozone ECB Main Refinancing Operations Rate, FXStreet 17/07/2025 Breaking: The European Central Bank (ECB) voted to maintain rates at ~2.15% in their July decision, meeting consensus. Otherwise, the rates on the deposit facility and the marginal lending facility were also held at 2.00% and 2.40% respectively. Having cut rates aggressively for much of 2025, the vote represents the first time in seven decisions where rates have not been lowered. Key takeaway: Citing a continued commitment to controlling inflation, the ECB has paused its current monetary easing cycle. While negotiations remain ongoing, US tariffs remain a large unknown for the EU economy, which has caused the ECB to become more hawkish compared to recent decisions. "The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. Inflation is currently at the 2% medium-term target. The incoming information is broadly in line with the Governing Council’s previous assessment of the inflation outlook. Domestic price pressures have continued to ease, with wages growing more slowly. Partly reflecting the Governing Council’s past interest rate cuts, the economy has so far proven resilient overall in a challenging global environment. At the same time, the environment remains exceptionally uncertain, especially because of trade disputes" Monetary Policy Decisions, ecb.europa.eu 24/07/2025 Market Reaction In the minutes following the release, when considering the result met consensus, the reaction remained somewhat muted. EUR/USD has risen by +0.02%, EUR/GBP by +0.03%, and EUR/JPY by +0.01%.

According to Arkham Intelligence, the US government still holds more than 198,000 Bitcoin. That’s around $23.4 billion sitting in digital wallets across several agencies. A recent public spreadsheet showed just 28,988.356 BTC under the Marshals Service. But looking at FBI, IRS, DEA and Justice Department seizures makes the total jump far higher. Government Stash Spread Across Agencies Based on reports from the Marshals Service, 28,988.356 BTC—worth roughly $3.45 billion—has been under its control since July 15, 2025. Other agencies don’t share that data publicly. They manage coins from crime probes and prize auctions. Arkham gathered on‑chain data and linked addresses tied to each agency. When added, the total hits at least 198,012 BTC. In everyday terms, that means the US is a massive bitcoin “whale” that still owns about 198,000 BTC. It’s not just sitting at the Marshals Service. The rest is spread out in hidden pockets. Those coins haven’t moved in the last four months. Traders who saw only the Marshals number panicked. Senator Cynthia Lummis even warned it would be a “total strategic blunder” if the reserves really fell below 30,000 BTC. Big Cases Make Up Most Holdings A huge chunk—114,599 BTC—came from the 2016 Bitfinex hack case against Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan. That haul alone counts for more than $13.65 billion. Silk Road‑related seizures add about 94,643 BTC. That breaks down into 51,680 BTC from James Zhong’s theft and 69,370 BTC linked to another hacker, sometimes called “Individual X.” Other cases help pad the total. Arkham spotted $81.25 million in BTC taken from Alameda Research’s Binance accounts after FTX collapsed. Another $79.50 million came from HashFlare scammers Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin. Even small hits like 58.7 BTC from Ryan Farace’s case show up in the chain records. Sales Haven’t Touched Core Supply The US sold 9,861 BTC worth about $215 million in March 2023 from the Zhong case. In August 2024, another 10,000 BTC went for $594 million. Then in December 2024, 10,000 BTC sold for roughly $968 million. Despite that activity, the main piles from Bitfinex and Silk Road haven’t moved. Those coins still sit where seizing agencies left them. Without a single public ledger, each new FOIA release sparks fresh rumors. Some traders jumped at the Marshals figure and drove prices up or down on the news. But knowing the real 198,000 BTC figure could calm that. A master dashboard, updated in near real time, would help cut the drama when auctions roll around.

After hitting above $3,800, the Ethereum price seems well on track for the next phase of the cycle. The ongoing trend has been closely mirroring what was seen back in 2016-2017 before the surge that sent the altcoin’s price to new all-time highs. This remains a major deal given that if the trend does play out similarly to what was seen in the 2017 cycle, then it means that the Ethereum price rally is only just beginning. Ethereum Price Mirrors Bullish 2017 Back in 2017, before the bull market, the Ethereum price had struggled to stay on track with the Bitcoin price. This resulted in a lag as the price kept taking a beating with each uptrend. In the end, the Ethereum price ended up ranging for a while, with two fakeouts before the price was able to eventually breakout. Similarly, the Ethereum price has ranged for the last year, with multiple fakeouts that have already kept the price low. Just like 2017, again, a crash sent the altcoin’s price down by almost 50% to create what seemed to be the perfect bear trap, as illustrated in this chart by crypto analyst Merlijn The Trader on X (formerly Twitter). The analyst points out these similarities in the Ethereum chart, showing that the same range, fakeout, and breakout have now played out for the cryptocurrency just like they did in 2016-2017. Given this, it is likely that the next phase in the trend will also follow the 2017 playbook. After the bear trap and eventual breakout in 2017, the Ethereum price had rallied by 5,000%, going from under $8 to over $250 in less than one year. Applying a similar breakout structure to Ethereum in 2025 would mean rising as high as $40,000. However, adjusting for how high the market cap currently is, a conservative target would mean that the Ethereum price is at least able to cross the $10,000 level, which would be only a 200% increase from its current level. Applying the same timeframe as in 2017 would mean that it could play out in the next six months. Additionally, Ethereum now has something that it didn’t have back in 2017, and that is institutional backing. Presently, Ethereum is quickly becoming a favorite among institutional investors as ETH treasury companies have poured over $7 billion into the altcoin, according to data from The Block. In July 2025 alone, over $2 billion has flowed into Spot Ethereum ETFs, showing a ramp-up in institutionalized interest. Due to this rise in institutional investments, Merlijn The Trader has explained that institutions are now the ones behind the wheel with the same setup from 2017. This suggests higher liquidity as these major players are expected to drive and determine the ETH price this cycle.
