Bitcoin continues to hover just below its previous all-time high, consolidating around the $109,000 mark despite a modest 1.9% gain over the past day. The asset reached a 7-day high of $110,307 but has yet to reclaim the historic high of $111,814, a level set back in May. While short-term price action remains within a tight range, on-chain data reveals deeper structural developments that could shape Bitcoin’s trajectory in the weeks ahead. As attention focuses on Bitcoin’s potential for a breakout, some analysts are turning to supply dynamics for clues. One notable observation comes from CryptoQuant contributor Chairman Lee, who has identified a significant reduction in BTC held on centralized exchanges. This trend may serve as a key indicator of future price behavior, especially in the context of institutional demand and exchange activity. Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Drop to Multi-Year Lows Chairman Lee’s analysis highlights a continued decline in exchange-held Bitcoin, with reserves falling to a multi-year low of 2.4 million BTC. This figure is down from over 3.1 million BTC reported in mid-2023. The consistent drawdown in exchange balances is interpreted as a signal that selling pressure is decreasing, which historically has preceded price expansions. According to Lee, “This persistent decline in reserve levels suggests that sell-side liquidity is drying up… Historically, such conditions—where BTC held on exchanges is low—precede major bullish expansions as demand exceeds supply.” In past market cycles, including the 2020–2021 bull run, similar drops in exchange reserves were followed by sharp upward movements in Bitcoin’s price. The logic is based on basic supply-demand mechanics: when available BTC becomes scarce on exchanges, any increase in demand, particularly from ETFs or institutional buyers, can lead to accelerated price growth. Lee emphasizes that this current trend could act as a foundational tailwind, potentially supporting further gains if current demand patterns remain in place. Binance Dominates Whale Transaction Flows Another piece of the market structure puzzle comes from CryptoQuant analyst Crazzyblockk, who examined large-scale BTC transactions across major centralized exchanges. According to his report, Binance has maintained its position as the dominant venue for Bitcoin whale activity. Whale flows are defined in this context as daily inflows or outflows exceeding 1,000 BTC. Binance has recorded cumulative whale inflows of 31.36 million BTC and outflows of 30.82 million BTC, along with 53.2 million whale transactions, significantly more than any other exchange. Notably, these numbers do not reflect unique BTC, but rather total flow volumes that include repeated movements of the same coins. High transaction volumes suggest Binance is favored for its liquidity and infrastructure, allowing whales to engage in trading, custody shifts, and arbitrage with minimal friction. The data also places HTX Global and Kraken in the second and third positions, respectively, for whale inflows, though their volumes are substantially lower than Binance’s.

Trump Impõe Tarifa de 50% Sobre Produtos Brasileiros: Efeitos Devastadores para a Indústria, Agro e Comércio Exterior Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE ExpertFX School – Análise Especial para membros do Brasil ❤️‍🔥 A ameaça virou realidade. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, bateu o martelo e oficializou a tarifa de 50% sobre todos os produtos importados do Brasil, com vigência a partir de 1º de agosto de 2025. A decisão marca uma escalada inédita no relacionamento comercial entre os dois países e inaugura uma nova fase de tensão econômica e diplomática, com impactos amplos e profundos. 📉 O Que Está em Jogo A medida atinge todo o portfólio de exportações brasileiras para os EUA, o segundo maior destino das vendas externas do Brasil (atrás apenas da China). Entre os setores afetados estão: Agronegócio (carne bovina, frango, café, soja, milho, suco de laranja, açúcar, etanol) Mineração e siderurgia (aço, minério de ferro, chapas, bobinas) Indústria química e farmacêutica Celulose e papel Autopeças e componentes industriais Calçados, móveis, têxteis e cosméticos Equipamentos eletrônicos, alimentos industrializados e mais Com a nova tarifa, todos esses produtos ficarão automaticamente 50% mais caros para o comprador americano, o que tende a inviabilizar contratos, reduzir demanda e minar a competitividade brasileira. ⚠️ O Fracasso da Negociação O Brasil tentou conter a medida propondo a redução da tarifa de 18% sobre o etanol importado dos EUA, em troca de acesso preferencial para açúcar e outros produtos brasileiros. A resposta americana? Nenhuma. A proposta foi ignorada, sinalizando não só o endurecimento comercial, mas uma ruptura política no diálogo bilateral. 🔥 Impacto Direto: Setores e Empresas Mais Afetadas ✈️ Embraer Fortemente exposta ao mercado americano, a Embraer exporta jatos comerciais e executivos para os EUA. Com uma tarifa de 50%, a competitividade da empresa despenca, mesmo com parte da produção localizada em solo americano. O risco de perda de contratos e desvio de demanda para concorrentes (como Boeing e Bombardier) aumenta exponencialmente. 🥩 Frigoríficos: JBS, Marfrig, Minerva Com os EUA entre os principais compradores de carne bovina e frango do Brasil, a nova tarifa compromete diretamente as margens, podendo gerar quebra de contratos, revisão de guidance e redução de exportações. O impacto se estende à cadeia: produtores rurais, cooperativas e pequenos criadores sentirão na veia. 🌲 Suzano (Celulose) Já afetada por tarifas de 10% anteriores, a Suzano agora enfrenta risco real de perder mercado e receita. O impacto é direto na indústria, no emprego e nas cadeias logísticas associadas. 🔩 CSN, Gerdau, Usiminas (Siderurgia) Exportam produtos industriais como aço e bobinas galvanizadas. A tarifa de 50% pode resultar em estoques parados, perda de competitividade e corte de produção. ☕️ Agroexportadores (Café, Açúcar, Etanol, Milho, Soja) Não apenas as grandes tradings serão atingidas — milhares de pequenos e médios produtores, cooperativas e exportadores do interior do Brasil, que hoje vendem diretamente ou via plataformas B2B para os EUA, podem desaparecer do mapa com esse choque de custo. 🧴 Cosméticos, Têxtil, Móveis e E-commerce Setores já pressionados por custos logísticos e margens apertadas podem sofrer colapso com a perda de acesso competitivo ao consumidor americano, sobretudo no e-commerce, onde o preço final é decisivo. 💥 Efeito em Cascata e Possível Retaliação O Brasil pode retaliar, mas isso traz riscos sérios: encarecimento de insumos e bens de capital importados dos EUA, como: Maquinário industrial Defensivos agrícolas Medicamentos e tecnologia Semicondutores e software Além disso, o impacto no câmbio e na confiança dos investidores internacionais pode ser severo. A balança comercial será pressionada, e o risco Brasil pode subir — afetando o fluxo de capital estrangeiro, os juros e o desempenho da Bolsa. 🏦 Efeitos no Mercado Financeiro 📉 Ações em Risco: Embraer (EMBR3): alta volatilidade, possibilidade de revisão de guidance. JBS (JBSS3), Marfrig (MRFG3), Minerva (BEEF3): perda de receita e margens. Suzano (SUZB3): expectativa de revisão de exportações. Gerdau (GGBR4), CSN (CSNA3), Usiminas (USIM5): impacto em contratos e produção. Pequenas caps do setor de exportação: alto risco de iliquidez e perdas. 📈 Câmbio e Dólar A tendência é de pressão altista sobre o dólar frente ao real, com investidores buscando proteção diante da instabilidade comercial e diplomática. 🪙 Impacto em XAU/USD O ouro, tradicional porto seguro, tende a se valorizar no curto prazo, diante do aumento do risco geopolítico e incerteza comercial. 🌐 Lição Geopolítica Assim como nas tarifas contra a China em 2018, Trump usa barreiras comerciais como instrumento de poder e estratégia geopolítica, não apenas como proteção econômica. O Brasil, politicamente enfraquecido e com baixa articulação internacional, se torna um alvo fácil. A sinalização de Trump é clara: quem não está com os EUA, está contra. E o Brasil, neste momento, entra na lista dos países punidos. ✅ Conclusão do analista A tarifa de 50% contra os produtos brasileiros é uma pancada estrutural sobre a economia de exportação do Brasil. Afeta desde multinacionais listadas na B3 até MEIs que operam no e-commerce. O impacto será severo e, se não houver reação firme e estratégica, o país pode perder espaço, contratos, empregos e relevância comercial por muitos anos. Hora do governo agir com diplomacia firme, articulação global e defesa estratégica dos interesses nacionais. A omissão, neste cenário, é uma sentença de perda de soberania comercial.

Cardano has slipped about 1.54% in the past day, but signs are pointing toward a turn in its fortunes. Traders have spotted a rare weekly golden cross on the ADA/USD chart. That happens when a shorter moving average crosses above a longer one. It can signal that buyers are gaining the upper hand after months of sideways action. First Ever Weekly Golden Cross According to analyst Mr. Brownstone, Cardano just logged its first‑ever weekly golden cross, with the 50‑week moving average climbing above the 200‑week line. ADA is trading at $0.60, under both its 50‑day MA at $0.66 and its 200‑day MA at $0.64. That gap means bulls need more firepower to push price back above key levels. Still, the weekly signal has many calling a bullish move ahead. Price Levels To Watch Based on examination from MasterAnanda, ADA will likely need to reclaim its 34‑period EMA and the 200‑day MA before a real uptrend can take hold. Many traders use those levels as checkpoints. If ADA closes above $0.64, it could draw new buyers in. On the flip side, a drop under $0.59 might trigger more selling pressure. Whales Return To Accumulate Analyst Ali Martinez has noted that large holders scooped up about 120 million ADA over the past two weeks. These addresses, each holding between 1 million and 10 million ADA, now control roughly 5.5 billion ADA—worth around $3.3 billion at current prices. When big wallets pile in, it often suggests confidence that prices will head higher. But it can also lead to quick flips if whales decide to take profits. Cardano: Forecasts And Sentiment Several price targets have emerged in recent weeks. Some analysts expect ADA to climb to $1.33, while others think $10 is within reach this cycle. Price prediction by CoinCodex points to a 25% rise to $0.74 by August 8, 2025. Right now, technical indicators lean bearish, and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 59 (Neutral). Cardano has seen 14 out of the last 30 days end in green, with volatility around 7.54%, according to the price prediction site. Outlook And Next Steps Cardano’s weekly golden cross is a bullish sign, but price still needs to clear shorter‑term hurdles. Traders looking for confirmation may wait for ADA to close above $0.66 on the daily chart. Those already in position might set a stop‑loss below $0.59 to guard against a rejection. With whale activity back on the rise and long‑term targets ranging from $1.33 to $10, Cardano is once again on investors’ radar. However, broader market trends—especially moves in Bitcoin—will likely dictate whether ADA’s momentum can stick. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin continues to consolidate just below its all-time high of $112K, holding firmly above key support at $105K despite repeated bearish attempts to push the price lower. This tight trading range reflects market uncertainty, yet the structure favors bulls as long as support levels remain intact. Meanwhile, macroeconomic conditions are evolving rapidly. The US Congress recently passed President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” economic package ahead of the self-imposed July 4 deadline, signaling a new phase of fiscal stimulus marked by tax cuts and aggressive spending. Combined with strong job reports, these factors suggest inflation may soon accelerate — a trend that historically supports Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat devaluation. On the market sentiment side, funding rates provide a crucial clue. According to top analyst On-Chain Mind, the 30-day average of Bitcoin perpetual funding rates is currently very low. This reflects a lack of excessive greed and typically marks a favorable setup for bullish continuation. Historically, periods of low funding rates have preceded major upward moves, especially when paired with strong macro tailwinds. With economic pressure building and Bitcoin still in a bullish structure, the coming days could define the next major move for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Calm Before The Breakout: Bitcoin Gains Strength Above $107K Bitcoin is up more than 3% since the start of July, holding firmly above the $107,000 local low despite repeated resistance at the $110,000 level. This sustained strength signals underlying buyer support and growing momentum as BTC continues to consolidate just below all-time highs. The $110K resistance remains a critical ceiling — once breached, analysts expect a strong move into price discovery as bullish momentum builds. So far, the market has digested a wave of macroeconomic and geopolitical developments. Global trade dynamics — including rising tariffs, export restrictions, and deglobalization trends — continue to shape sentiment. Yet, compared to the sharp volatility seen earlier this year, both Bitcoin and US equities appear more resilient. This suggests that much of the uncertainty has already been priced in, reducing the downside risk for risk assets like BTC. A key technical factor reinforcing the bullish case is the low 30-day average of funding rates. This indicator reflects a neutral-to-cautiously optimistic market environment — a stark contrast to overheated bullish phases that often precede corrections. Calm periods like this often set the stage for explosive moves, particularly when supply squeezes and strong demand meet a macro environment ripe for risk-taking. With BTC coiling tightly and sentiment balanced, a breakout could be imminent. BTC Holds Steady as Bulls Eye $109,300 Breakout The 4-hour chart shows Bitcoin (BTC) consolidating within a tight range, holding above the key support at $107,000 and testing resistance around $109,300. This price level has consistently acted as a local ceiling, with several failed breakout attempts in late June and early July. However, the bulls continue to defend higher lows, signaling strength and setting the stage for a potential breakout. The 50, 100, and 200 simple moving averages (SMAs) are stacked close together and gradually trending upward, suggesting the consolidation phase could soon transition into a more directional move. Volume remains low, which often precedes a volatility spike, especially near key resistance levels. The $103,600 support remains the crucial line in the sand for bulls. A breakdown below that level would invalidate the short-term bullish structure and likely lead to a deeper retrace. On the upside, a daily close above $109,300 with volume confirmation could trigger a rally toward price discovery above the all-time high. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin Ainda Não Atingiu Níveis que Motive Venda por Detentores de Longo Prazo Análise por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE Segundo dados da plataforma on-chain Glassnode, os atuais níveis de preço do Bitcoin (BTC) ainda não são considerados suficientemente altos para que os detentores de longo prazo (long-term holders – LTHs) iniciem vendas significativas de suas posições. Essa leitura indica que o mercado segue sustentado por uma base sólida de investidores com convicção estrutural. 📊 O que dizem os dados? Glassnode mostra que: Os LTHs continuam acumulando ou mantendo suas posições. Não há aumento expressivo no gasto de moedas antigas (indicador de realização). O atual patamar de preço não ativa zonas históricas de realização de lucro desses investidores. Essa leitura se alinha com a atual estrutura de mercado, na qual o BTC oscila dentro de uma faixa consolidada, sem rompimento de zonas críticas de resistência que historicamente levam à realização por parte dos grandes detentores. 🔍 O Que Esperar e Impactos no Mercado ✦ Para o mercado de criptoativos: A sinalização de retenção por parte dos LTHs sugere força estrutural de fundo no mercado, o que pode: Reduzir o risco de liquidações agressivas no curto prazo. Aumentar o potencial de acumulação institucional e retalho. Manter o viés altista, desde que suportado por fluxo e macroeconômicos favoráveis. ✦ Para o mercado tradicional e o XAU/USD: Investidores institucionais frequentemente comparam BTC e ouro (XAU/USD) como ativos de proteção contra riscos sistêmicos ou inflação futura. Com o BTC ainda em fase de retenção e longe de zonas de realização, o fluxo especulativo e institucional pode continuar dividido entre BTC e ouro. Se o BTC permanecer abaixo de níveis considerados “sobrecomprados” pelos LTHs, o XAU/USD tende a manter suporte, pois parte do capital continua fluindo para ambos como alternativa à renda fixa tradicional, especialmente diante da revisão positiva de crescimento do PIB e inflação nos EUA. 🎯 Considerações Técnicas e Estratégicas BTC/USD: A leitura atual favorece estratégias de acumulação e compra em correções, com base no suporte institucional dos detentores de longo prazo. A ausência de pressão vendedora amplia a margem para novas altas, desde que rompidos os níveis de resistência entre US$ 111.630 XAU/USD: O ouro segue em ambiente técnico sensível. Com a manutenção da taxa do Fed e inflação sob controle, o ativo pode sofrer correções. No entanto, a estabilidade de BTC pode reforçar o papel do ouro como proteção alternativa, especialmente em contextos geopolíticos instáveis ou eventos de aversão ao risco. Conclusão A retenção por parte dos long-term holders do Bitcoin reforça a estrutura de suporte do mercado cripto e inibe pressões vendedoras no curto prazo. Para o trader atento, esse comportamento é sinal de oportunidade, tanto para o BTC quanto para o XAU/USD, que compartilham a narrativa de reserva de valor. O momento exige disciplina tática e atenção aos níveis de rompimento, além de leitura institucional do fluxo.

Bitcoin has been showing notable correlation to the stock equities recently, but data shows Ethereum is charting a more independent path. Bitcoin & Ethereum Showing Different Degrees Of Correlation To Other Assets In a post on X, the institutional DeFi solutions provider Sentora (previously IntoTheBlock) has talked about how the latest Correlation Matrix has looked between the two largest cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, and traditional markets. The “Correlation Matrix” here refers to an indicator that tells us how closely tied together the prices of two given assets currently are. When the value of this metric is positive, it means the assets are reacting to moves in each other by moving in the same direction to some degree. The closer the metric is to 1, the stronger the relationship. On the other hand, the indicator being under the zero mark implies there is a negative correlation between the two prices. That is, they are moving in opposite directions. For this side of the scale, the extreme point is -1. Naturally, the Correlation Matrix showing a value exactly equal to zero suggests there is no correlation whatsoever between the assets. In statistics, the two variables are said to be ‘independent’ in this case. Now, here is the table shared by Sentora that shows how the Correlation Matrix of Bitcoin and Ethereum stands with respect to some traditional markets: As is visible above, the index that Bitcoin and Ethereum have the strongest positive correlation to is DAX. That said, the Correlation Matrix stands at 0.46 for ETH, meaning that while some correlation does exist, it’s not too intense. This isn’t the case for Bitcoin, which has the indicator sitting at 0.85, indicating its price is pretty in tandem with DAX. Likewise, BTC has a notable correlation to other stock market indices, with a metric value of 0.7, 0.68, and 0.69 for the Russel 2000, S&P 500, and Dow Jones Industrial Average, respectively. In contrast, Ethereum is almost fully independent from these indices, with the indicator standing quite close to zero for each of them. For US Dollar Index and VIX Index, the last two markets listed in the table, the Correlation Matrix is inside the negative zone for Bitcoin. This means that the digital asset has actively been moving against these indices. “Right now, the spotlight is on the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY): if geopolitical and macro tensions drag the dollar lower, that backdrop could create room for another leg higher in BTC,” notes the analytics firm. Just like with the stocks, Ethereum is displaying little correlation to DXY and VIX, further reinforcing that the cryptocurrency has been following a trajectory of its own recently. BTC Price Bitcoin is mounting another bullish push as its price surges to $109,400, but it remains to be seen whether its fate will be any different from the weekend move.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bitcoin (BTC) surged to a remarkable all-time high (ATH) of $112,022, breaking free from its previous consolidation phase and lower resistance levels. Bitcoin Rally Faces Critical Test John Glover, the chief investment officer at crypto lending platform Ledn and a former managing director at Barclays Investment Bank, noted that the recent rally appears to be a retest of the previous all-time high set on May 22, which encountered selling pressure. As some investors opted to take profits, notable publicly traded companies, including Trump Media & Technology Group and GameStop, have announced their intentions to purchase Bitcoin to bolster their treasuries. Glover emphasized that the competition among these companies to accumulate Bitcoin could significantly impact market dynamics, given that the cryptocurrency’s popularity among publicly traded companies appears to be growing. However, the sustainability of Bitcoin’s rally largely hinges on macroeconomic conditions and developments in trade negotiations. Sid Powell, CEO of crypto asset-management firm Maple, highlighted that any setbacks in trade discussions before President Donald Trump’s August 1 deadline could pose challenges for Bitcoin’s price movement. Conversely, if trade negotiations progress and inflation continues to ease, the Federal Reserve (Fed) might consider cutting interest rates, which could further support Bitcoin’s upward trajectory. Scenarios For A Potential Breakout Toward $130,000 Market expert Doctor Profit recently took to social media, declaring that Bitcoin’s rally is just beginning. He confidently stated, “THE PARTY IS NOT OVER YET,” predicting a potential new all-time high soon. His analysis indicates a target range of $120,000 to $130,000 for this cycle. According to Doctor Profit, two potential scenarios could pave the way for this breakout. The first involves Bitcoin reaching the $113,000 to $114,000 range, followed by a correction to the $92,000 to $93,000 level, which aligns with a major liquidity pool and the CME gap. A rebound from this lower range could set the stage for a rapid ascent toward the $120,000 mark. The second, more aggressive scenario suggests that Bitcoin could break through the $113,000 to $114,000 barrier and continue its upward momentum without revisiting lower liquidity levels. In either case, the $113,000 to $114,000 range is critical, as the market’s reaction to this level will significantly influence the speed and direction of Bitcoin’s next leg. When writing, BTC has retraced back toward $111,422, attempting to make this level its new support floor for further price appreciation. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Tether Holdings SA, issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, is said to have stockpiled $8 billion worth of gold in a secure vault in Switzerland, according to a Bloomberg report. In a statement to Bloomberg this week, the El Salvador-based crypto firm confirmed that it holds around 80 metric tons of gold, the majority of which are owned outright by the company. The amount, it adds, makes Tether “one of the largest gold holders in the world outside of banks and nation states,” comparable to that of UBS Group. Tether is the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, a cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to the USD on a near one-to-one basis. The company receives dollars in return for the tokens it issues and makes money from that collateral by investing in assets like gold. Since its launch in 2014, USDT has grown to become the largest cryptocurrency by trading volume, with about $159 billion currently in circulation. According to the company’s latest report issued in March, bullion accounts for 5% its reserves, with a market value of approximately $8 billion. In an interview with Bloomberg, Tether chief executive Paolo Ardoino described its gold vault as “one of the most secure in the world,” though he did not provide further details aside from a generic location (Switzerland), citing security reasons. Explaining the company’s strategy to accumulate gold, Ardoino said he views gold a “safer asset” than any national currency, including the US dollar, particularly when there are rising concerns over America’s debt levels. He went on to say that central banks within the BRICS nations have been stockpiling bullion, which contributed to rising gold values. However, its growing allocation to gold could raise regulatory challenges due to the soaring popularity of stablecoins in recent years. Draft legislation in the US such as the GENIUS Act, and European frameworks like MiCA, would restrict stablecoin reserves to cash or near‑cash instruments – excluding commodities like gold. If these rules take effect, Tether may need to adjust its holdings to maintain compliance in regulated markets. In addition to USDT, the company also issues the XAUT stablecoin, which is backed one-to-one by an ounce of gold and can be redeemed for physical gold, collected directly in Switzerland. To date, it has issued tokens equivalent to 7.7 tons of gold or $819 million, a paltry amount relative to the more liquid gold-backed exchange-traded funds. Ardoino also noted that the company opted to self‑custody its bullion to avoid the costs associated with commercial vault operators, which typically charge around 50 basis points. If Tether’s gold token were to grow to $100 billion in circulation, “it’s a lot of money to pay”, he said. Gold prices have rallied about 25% this year, as investors reach for safe havens to hedge against geopolitical tensions and an expanding trade war. Strong demand from central banks and sovereign institutions has also supported bullion’s rise.

A new analysis shows that Bitcoin (BTC) may be on the verge of a calculated price crash that could take it below $107,000 before igniting the next bullish rally. The cryptocurrency market structure currently reflects a short-term bearish correction within a broader bullish trend, supporting the likelihood of a potential surge to new all-time highs soon. Bitcoin Prepares For Final Dip Below $107,000 Crypto market expert, Tehi Thomas, in a recent TradingView post, suggested that Bitcoin’s current structure may be entering its final corrective phase. The analyst points to a potential price crash below the $107,000 level as part of a strategic play by smart money. The analyst shared a chart showing Bitcoin forming consecutive lower highs while its price presses downwards. Across these highs, the market is also respecting a descending trendline, a pattern which often indicates short-term bearish pressure. Notably, this trendline appears to be serving as a potential trap designed to engineer a liquidity grab and discount entry. Thomas notes that once the key zone and sell-side liquidity area around $107,800 is taken, Bitcoin’s price is expected to dip into a nearby Fair Value Gap (FVG), extending down to the $106,500-$106,200 region. This FVG overlaps with critical Fibonacci levels, particularly the 0.786 retracement near $106,200, strengthening the confluence for a potential reversal point. Thomas has highlighted this $106,200 level as a high-probability buy zone, where institutions may re-enter the market. Notably, the analyst’s anticipated price correction for Bitcoin is not seen as a breakdown of structure or market failure, but rather a calculated liquidity grab to fill inefficiencies left from the previous lag. As long as the price respects the $106,000 range and displays bullish order flow afterward, its projected correction is expected to complete the accumulation phase. All-Time Highs In Sight After Key Reversal Following Bitcoin’s projected sweep and fill of the FVG, the cryptocurrency is expected to form a reversal structure that could kick off the next major rally. Despite the projected crash below $107,000, Thomas asserts that Bitcoin’s overall macro trend remains bullish. Moreover, this short-term pullback is considered a setup for a much larger move toward a new all-time high. Thomas’s chart marks the $110,500 zone as the final magnet and ATH target, with a significant layer of untapped liquidity above it. The analyst’s thesis is that once the sell-side pressure is exhausted and displacement confirms the shift in direction, Bitcoin could once again regain bullish momentum. Furthermore, the TradingView expert has pointed out that the FVG near $106,200 acts as both a liquidity magnet and a springboard, set to launch the flagship cryptocurrency into price discovery mode once again. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $108,744, meaning a potential surge to the projected ATH level at $110,500 will represent a 1.61% increase.

In a monthly chart shared on July 8, crypto analyst Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) outlined a long-term bullish thesis for Dogecoin (DOGE), identifying a clear historical pattern that may signal the next major leg in its price trajectory. The focal point of the chart is the 1.618 Fibonacci extension—used as a key projection level—which Kevin implies is Dogecoin’s next major upside target. Based on the chart, this level corresponds to $3.94. History Says Dogecoin Will Hit $3.94 Dogecoin’s price action has followed a remarkably consistent macro-pattern across three major market phases. In each, DOGE formed a clear descending wedge, followed by an impulsive breakout and parabolic rally. These structures are annotated in yellow on the chart and preceded both the 2017 and 2021 bull runs. The most recent wedge breakout completed in November last year, with a retest of the breakout currently taking place. Kevin marks two historical Fibonacci extension levels that were reached following previous consolidations. Both peaked near the 1.618 Fibonacci extension of their respective bases—a common target for extended bullish moves in technical analysis. For the current structure, this places DOGE’s long-term Fibonacci target near $3.94, which would represent a roughly 2,218% move from the current price around $0.17. Indicators further support the notion of a long-term base having formed. The RSI (Relative Strength Index) on the monthly chart has just reclaimed the neutral 50 zone, currently sitting at 50.39, a signal often interpreted as the transition from bearish to bullish control. In prior cycle, the monthly RSI always topped above 90. Notably, the monthly RSI is also in an uptrend since mid-2022, respecting the yellow trendline drawn by the analyst. A significant confluence comes from the Stochastic RSI, which has just completed a bottoming crossover in the oversold region. The last time this occurred, in early 2020, Dogecoin followed with a parabolic surge. This same dynamic now appears to be setting up again, echoing the previous cycle. Also noteworthy is the chart’s structural emphasis on 0.382 Fibonacci retracement support, currently plotted at $0.13778, from which Dogecoin appears to be bouncing. This aligns with the green supertrend support, suggesting a critical local floor has been found. While the purple zones on the chart above $0.50 are not formal price targets, Kevin clarified in a response to a community member that they are key resistance zones—intermediary checkpoints before DOGE can make a full move toward its final Fibonacci extension. These zones span from approximately $1.00 to $1.20 as well as from $2.30 to $2.50, and eventually up toward the $3.94 range. Kevin emphasized that “as well as Dogecoin has done this cycle especially compared to other altcoins, it still has not even come close to what it is capable of. That will change in the right environment.” He further noted that Dogecoin has already seen a 10x move from its bear market low to the local highs, but believes “there’s still work to do” when the cycle of quantitative tightening by the US Federal Reserve ends. The chart and commentary triggered a strong community reaction. Users like @MonetaryRegimee declared “We always hit the 1.618,” to which Kevin replied, “Typically yes,” reinforcing his confidence in the fractal repetition. Others described the current price action as “the calm before the storm.” Whether Dogecoin ultimately fulfills its fractal-driven destiny toward $3.94 remains to be seen. But the historical technical symmetry laid out by Kevin’s chart offers a compelling case that DOGE’s long-term rally may be far from over. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.174.

Tech was in focus in today's session, particularly throughout the last few hours as NVIDIA just hit the $4 trillion market cap and Bitcoin, Ethereum rallied consequently. Sentiment still shows a few signs of hesitation, particularly with disappointing Prime Day numbers dragging Consumer defensive stocks down relative to other sectors. European stocks are to be monitored as they have had consecutive positive days above 1.50%, led by the German DAX. In terms of Commodities, softs had a decent performance led by Cocoa, Sugar and Lumber – in terms of more commonly traded commodities though, US Oil and Gold are almost completely unchanged.

Despite a risk-off opening to this week, the latest tariff delay from the Trump administration brought back some risk appetite. The Nasdaq retested its all-time highs (22,945 on its CFD) and the S&P 500 came close to it. Only the Dow Jones is once again lagging on the positive sentiment, with deeper US productivity concerns due to the tariff menace still being real for Consumer Defensive stocks. Markets are still off an ecstatic mood which is starting to show a few cracks. The real main change to this week's flows is the US Dollar starting to show some signs of rebound, up around 1 full handle from its 96.50 lows. The FOMC Minutes are released about an hour ago, with the most market moving element being the mention of a few participants that are moving closer to a cut in July, leading to a drop in US Treasury Yields (Bonds higher, yields down).

US traders and DeFi fans have turned their eyes to Sei Network (SEI) after its Total Value Locked (TVL) climbed past $626 million. That leap marks a huge rise from about $60 million at the start of 2024, showing a strong wave of new funds and fresh users staking assets on the chain. Sei Network TVL Rockets According to DeFiLlama, TVL on Sei surged from roughly $60 million in January 2024 to almost $700 million at its peak. That represents nearly a 10 × gain in just six months—growth most rival chains only manage in single‑digit or low double‑digit jumps of 10–50 % over the same stretch. Based on reports by crypto fans on X, this kind of TVL swing is very rare in today’s tight market. On‑Chain Activity Picks Up Crypto observer Kyledoops shared that daily transfers and smart‑contract calls on Sei have climbed steadily. “More capital is flowing in and on‑chain actions are rising,” he wrote. Some market observers say that some parts of the ecosystem saw 10–50 % jumps in TVL, with a few protocols posting even bigger gains. This buzz comes at a time when many DeFi projects are struggling to grow. Japan Approval Draws Investors Based on reports, a key boost arrived when Sei earned approval from the Japan Financial Services Agency. That nod gives it a regulated path into one of the world’s strictest crypto markets. Artemis Analytics noted that daily active addresses hit a two‑year high right after the JFSA greenlight. Institutions are said to be taking a closer look at trading and custody options in Tokyo. Price Swings Test Support SEI’s token price more than doubled in June after a US government‑backed stablecoin pilot was announced and after SEI Labs proposed SIP‑3, a shift to an EVM‑only chain. Even with that jump, the coin still sits about 78 % below its March 2024 peak, trading around $0.26 today. Some technical analysts point to a chart floor at $0.25. A breach there could push SEI closer to $0.20, which would put pressure on holders who bought in at higher levels. Sei Price Forecast According to current projections, SEI is set to drop by 25% and reach $0.19 by August 8, 2025. Based on technical indicators, market sentiment remains Bullish while the Fear & Greed Index sits at 66 (Greed). Over the last 30 days, SEI logged 17/30 (57%) green days and saw 19% price swings in that window. These figures suggest that short‑term dips could be sharp, but buyers may view lower prices as a chance to get in. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

XRP might be currently trading around $2, but its path to double and four digits may be faster than imagined. Notably, a bold new forecast has shaken up the XRP community, as crypto analyst BarriC declared that the token could explode from $2 to $1,000 much faster than anyone expects. His comments have caused a bit of optimism among investors, many of whom are already eyeing a new all-time high as momentum builds following the cryptocurrency’s recent quarterly close above $2.25. XRP’s Rise To $1,000 Based On History Taking to the social media platform X, prominent analyst BarriC predicted that the XRP price will surge to $1,000 a lot sooner than most people anticipate. Notably, BarriC’s prediction of a surge draws on the cryptocurrency’s historical performance. Back in 2017, XRP was trading at just $0.006 before launching into a parabolic bull run that took it as high as $3.40 by early 2018. Investors back then underestimated this move, and only a few were able to get in at the earliest. This $3.40 all-time high has been maintained by the altcoin for over seven years, but the situation might change very soon. The altcoin’s current price level, which is just above $2, is a mirror of that early accumulation phase. According to BarriC, investors today may similarly be underestimating how quickly XRP can move. “People buying XRP at $0.006 in 2017 weren’t expecting it to skyrocket to $3.80,” he wrote on X and suggested that a similar underestimation is happening today. Community Torn Between Hope And Doubt His claim, “XRP will skyrocket from $2 to $1,000 a lot sooner than people anticipate,” has been met with mixed reactions of both excitement and skepticism on the social media platform. Some community members were quick to support BarriC’s outlook, with one user responding, “XRP $1,400 is very realistic.” The statement was in reference to its 63,000% rise in the 2017-2018 bull run emphasized by BarriC. Another user commented that although XRP will definitely reach that price level, it won’t be very soon, and it will be “maybe sometime in 2030 to 2040.” Others, however, urged caution, pointing out that XRP is no longer an underdog. Unlike in 2017, XRP’s growth is now very much anticipated, which may dampen the element of surprise that helped its rally seven years ago. Another factor is the current state of the altcoin, along with the significant inflows that could lead to a rally of 63,000% from its current price level. One of the commenters noted that back in 2018, it was possible to invest as little as $6,000 and own as many as 1 million XRP tokens. Another community member noted that although XRP might not reach such an absurd price target, it is going to break out soon to around $10. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.33, up by 2.6% in the past 24 hours. Reaching the $1,000 price target would translate to a 42,800% return from the current levels.

Minutes from the Fed’s June 17-18 policy meeting, released at 14:00 EDT, have done little to change the narrative surrounding future monetary policy decisions. Markets predict the Federal Reserve will maintain rates on July 30th and make its first 2025 rate cut in its September 17th decision. Fed Minutes June 17-18: Key takeaways Unanimous in vote to maintain the federal fund rate between 4.25 and 4.50%, minutes reaffirmed the Fed’s concerns on tariff-borne inflation, although acknowledged that uncertainty on the general economic outlook has “diminished but remains elevated”While predictions for a July rate cut remain essentially unchanged, the minutes shed light on the diverging views held by policymakers about how lax the Fed should be during the current easing cycle Fed Minutes June 17-18: Inflation remains above the 2% target Somewhat predictably, minutes would confirm that the Federal Reserve seems less concerned about the trend of falling inflation and more concerned that it remains above the target of 2%, mentioning recent PCE figures. Cited as “somewhat elevated” both in the immediate policy statement and minutes, the phrasing around inflation highlights ongoing concern, especially compared to the more complimentary commentary of current US labor numbers. The report’s description of the labor market as “solid” and unemployment as “low” would suggest that, in a vacuum, recent labor market numbers would support the notion of rate cuts.

Minutas do Fed Indicam Estabilidade na Taxa Próxima ao Neutro e Revisão Positiva para PIB e Inflação em 2025 Análise por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE As Minutas do Federal Reserve (Fed), divulgadas em 09 de julho de 2025, revelam importantes indicações sobre a condução da política monetária americana para os próximos meses, com impactos diretos e indiretos no mercado financeiro global, especialmente no par XAU/USD (ouro versus dólar). Principais Destaques das Minutas do Fed Manutenção da Taxa de Juros Próxima ao Neutro: Os membros do FOMC concordam que a taxa dos Fed funds pode estar próxima ao seu nível neutro, sinalizando a intenção de manter a política monetária estável no curto prazo, evitando aumentos adicionais. Riscos de Inflação e Mercado de Trabalho Reduzidos, mas Presentes: Embora os riscos de uma inflação mais alta e de um enfraquecimento do mercado de trabalho tenham diminuído, o comitê ainda mantém cautela sobre esses fatores. Redução da Incerteza Econômica, mas Ambiente Ainda Volátil: A diminuição das tarifas anunciadas contribuiu para um cenário menos incerto, porém o nível geral de incerteza permanece elevado devido a fatores geopolíticos e comerciais. Extensão da Redução do Balanço do Fed até Fevereiro de 2026: A expectativa de término do processo de encolhimento do balanço patrimonial foi revista para fevereiro de 2026, um mês além da projeção anterior. Revisão para Cima do Crescimento do PIB e para Baixo da Inflação em 2025: A equipe técnica do Fed ajustou suas projeções indicando maior crescimento econômico e inflação mais moderada do que o previsto anteriormente. O Que Esperar do Mercado Financeiro Para o Mercado Cambial e o Ouro (XAU/USD) A manutenção da taxa de juros próxima ao neutro e a perspectiva de inflação controlada tendem a reduzir a atratividade do ouro como ativo de proteção, podendo pressionar o preço do XAU/USD para baixo no curto prazo. No entanto, a continuidade do processo de redução do balanço patrimonial mantém uma pressão restritiva sobre a liquidez global, o que pode limitar quedas acentuadas do metal precioso. Além disso, a diminuição da incerteza comercial favorece ativos de risco, beneficiando moedas fortes como o dólar americano, que exerce influência direta sobre o ouro, devido à correlação inversa tradicional entre ambos. Para o Mercado de Renda Fixa e Ações No segmento de renda fixa, a estabilidade da taxa de juros deve manter os rendimentos dos títulos relativamente estáveis, com leve viés de alta devido ao aperto gradual da liquidez. Já o mercado acionário pode encontrar suporte no cenário de crescimento econômico revisado para cima e menor pressão inflacionária, beneficiando especialmente setores cíclicos e financeiros. Impactos Técnicos e Estratégicos para Traders XAU/USD: É recomendada atenção ao comportamento do ouro diante da nova conjuntura. Movimentos de correção podem ocorrer, mas a volatilidade deve se manter elevada, dada a persistência das incertezas globais. Estratégias de curto prazo podem buscar entradas em suportes técnicos, aproveitando repiques ocasionais da demanda por proteção. Dólar Americano: A moeda tende a se manter firme com suporte do cenário econômico e monetário, mas pode apresentar ajustes pontuais conforme novos dados econômicos forem divulgados. Considerações Finais do Analista Igor Pereira A análise das Minutas do Fed reforça um cenário de transição para uma política monetária de manutenção, com foco em garantir o controle da inflação sem frear o crescimento econômico. Para o mercado financeiro, o ambiente combina estabilidade relativa com necessidade de vigilância constante, devido à volatilidade residual e fatores externos ainda relevantes. Recomenda-se que traders e investidores acompanhem de perto os próximos indicadores econômicos dos EUA, especialmente dados de emprego, inflação e decisões do Fed, para ajustar suas estratégias com base em possíveis mudanças na política monetária.

Venerable Ventures’ (TSXV: VLV.H) new resource for the old Minto mine in the Yukon has more than doubled contained copper and gold over the 2005 estimate as the owners create a new company with the Selkirk First Nation (SFN). The update outlines 12.6 million indicated tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 0.46 gram gold per tonne and 4.3 grams silver for 334 million lb. copper, 187,000 oz. gold and 1.7 million oz. silver, Venerable reported late Monday. Inferred resources total 23.7 million tonnes at 1.05% copper, 0.38 gram gold and 3.9 grams silver for 547 million lb. copper, 295,000 oz. gold and 2.97 million oz. silver. Minto sits on SFN traditional territory and is about 240 km northwest of Whitehorse “Upcoming drilling will target expansion and conversion of the open-pit and underground mineral resources at Minto, particularly around the high-grade Minto North area,” Venerable Ventures’ strategic adviser Ryan Weymark said in a release. Indigenous ownership The resource update comes almost one year after Yukon’s Supreme Court approved SFN’s purchase of Minto, a rare case of Indigenous ownership of a mine in Canada. The Minto mine had been put up for sale in September 2023 after owner Minto Metals shut it down in May due to financial difficulty and PricewaterhouseCoopers put the mine into receivership. The Minto mine produced about 500 million lb. copper between 2007 and 2023. The Vancouver-based Venerable Ventures announced on July 1 a binding letter of intent with the SFN that is to see the creation of Selkirk Copper Mines. The First Nation will become the largest shareholder in the C$15 million all-share deal and will appoint two directors to the board. Before it closes, Venerable will conduct a non-brokered private placement of up to C$2.52 million. More financing is planned to support further exploration and restarting activities. Lower grades While the discovery of a new mineralized domain at Minto North raised the tonnage in the update, its grades are generally slightly lower and it didn’t include a measured category. The update is based on 376,089 metres of drilling across 1,781 holes, including 210 holes drilled in 2021 and 2022. Venerable shares were flat at C$0.18 apiece on Tuesday at mid-day in Toronto, for a market capitalization of C$3.2 million. Its stock traded in a 12-month range of C$0.09 to C$0.23.

Dogecoin may be gearing up for its next breakout. After holding firm near $0.17 on the weekly chart, DOGE recently bounced off key Fibonacci and trendline support, hinting at renewed bullish potential. With its 200‑week moving average offering steady support and price comfortably above the ascending channel, technicals suggest the setup is aligning. If the recent dip toward the 200 MA on the M15 chart proves to be a low-risk entry, this could set the stage for a retest of the $0.16490 resistance, and possibly more. Rejection At Resistance, But Technicals Still Favor Bulls In a recent analysis shared on X, Thomas Anderson presented a detailed breakdown of DOGE/USD price action across the M15 and M30 timeframes. According to the expert, Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.17043, and the price is facing rejection at the yellow horizontal resistance line around $0.16490. The price action shows consolidation just below this key level, signaling indecision among traders. Anderson pointed out that the 200 MA (red line) is acting as dynamic support from below, helping to anchor the price during the current consolidation phase. This moving average support provides bulls the foundation to regain control if momentum shifts in their favor. On the M30 chart, Anderson noted that the broader bullish structure remains intact, with DOGE price holding above the ascending trendline. This technical pattern suggests continued optimism for upward movement, provided the price does not break below key support areas. Thomas Anderson concluded that any pullback toward the 200 MA on the M15 timeframe could offer a buying opportunity, particularly for traders eyeing a retest of the $0.16490 resistance. Dogecoin Weekly Chart Echoes Elliott Theory’s Bullish Blueprint Taking a closer look at Dogecoin’s weekly chart, crypto analyst Andrew observed a notable long-term wave structure unfolding. He explained that over the past three years, DOGE has completed a five-wave impulse to the upside, which was followed by a typical ABC correction, consistent with Elliott Wave theory. Andrew further noted that price found a strong reaction at the 0.786 Fibonacci level, marked by a light blue line, which traces the retracement from the entire upward move. This reaction suggests that DOGE may have reached a critical support area, where buyers could begin stepping in. With this in mind, Andrew believes the current structure appears to be forming a larger 1-2 setup, which could lead to a powerful Wave 3 advance. If this pattern plays out, it may signal the start of a new bullish phase with the potential to break beyond previous highs.

A resource update for Banyan Gold’s (TSXV: BYN) AurMac project makes it the second largest resource on the Tombstone Gold belt in Yukon. Shares rose. The update adds 112.5 million indicated tonnes grading 0.63 gram gold for 2.27 million oz. Banyan reported Tuesday. It includes 280.6 million inferred tonnes at 0.6 gram gold for 5.45 million contained ounces. The road-accessible AurMac is about 360 km north of Whitehorse. “This update achieved the primary objectives of last year’s program, which were to convert over 2 million oz. into indicated mineral resources with a refined geological model and importantly identify near surface, high-grade areas,” Banyan president and CEO Tara Christie said in a release. Contained ounces The update now puts AurMac behind Snowline Gold’s (TSXV: SGD) Valley deposit as the second biggest resource by contained ounces in Yukon. The previous estimate from February last year comprised only inferred resources. Banyan shares gained 5.6% to C$0.28 apiece in Toronto on Wednesday morning for a market capitalization of C$111 million. Its stock has traded in a 12-month range of C$0.15 to C$0.29. The update incorporates results from 21,000 metres of drilling across 118 holes last year at AurMac’s Airstrip and Powerline deposits. The company plans to conduct another 30,000 metres of drilling this year, mostly at Airstrip and Powerline, as well as complete a preliminary economic assessment for AurMac in the fourth quarter.

Endeavour Silver (NYSE: EXK; TSX: EDR) closed in on a 52-week high on Wednesday after the Canadian miner reported its operating results for the second quarter of 2025. The Q2 results are highlighted by approximately 1.48 million oz. of silver production and 7,755 oz. of gold, equating to total silver-equivalent production of 2.5 million oz. The silver output, says Endeavour, was in line with plan and 13% higher than the first quarter, owing to the addition of a third producing mine at Kolpa. In April, the company announced the acquisition of the Kolpa mine in Huancavelica, Peru, in a $145 million deal to bolster its Mexico-based portfolio. Chief executive Dan Dickson said at the time that the acquisition would bring Endeavour closer to becoming a senior silver producer, with a material increase in its production profile. Excluding Kolpa, however, Endeavour’s consolidated silver production was 16% lower than Q2 2024, due to decreases in production at its Guanaceví and Bolañitos mines. Gold production, too, was lower by 26% as a result of the mines’ underperformance. Meanwhile, a third mine could be on its way to production in Mexico. During the recent quarter, commissioning of the Terronera project continued to progress steadily, said Endeavour, adding that it expects to gradually ramp up throughput to design capacity in early Q3. “The integration of Kolpa is progressing smoothly, with output already trending above initial expectations,” Dickson said in a press release Wednesday. “At the same time, Terronera continues to move steadily toward commercial production.” Shares of Endeavour Silver jumped nearly 10% to $7.28 apiece by 12:30 ET, near a 52-week high of C$7.87. The Toronto-based precious metals miner has a market capitalization of C$2.1 billion.

The second largest cryptocurrency has been on a consistent grind in the past two weeks after seeing some heavy selling flows during the Israel-Iran War, taking its prices close to the $2,000 mark but since, has been posting a slow but strong rally, fuel for further continuation. Crypto markets haven't taken a significant direction for a while, but it doesn't mean that no opportunities are availables – Ranges give the opportunity for markets to cool down and prepare for further moves, while consolidating Volume-at-Price. Market theory implies that the more prices are at an equilibrium (rangebound), the more solid the anchor of value for all participants. With cryptos consolidating at much higher levels than prior years, this shows a resilience for cryptocurrency markets and gives it more credibility for traditional investors to start inputting more flows. For example, since mid-May 2025, Bitcoin has been consolidating between $100,000 to $110,000 – despite giving to many players the opportunity to take their profits, markets did not retrace. Ranges also provide opportunities for scalpers who may attempt to trade highs and lows. Same for Ethereum which has been holding between $2,350 to $2,750 for close to two months now, and despite these prices being not too close from the Ether's ETH, it still consolidates at a relative high value, particularly after the 2025 Q1 Heavy Selling.

The Sprott Silver Miners & Physical Silver ETF (Nasdaq: SLVR) officially reached $100 million in assets under management (AUM) by the end of the June quarter. SLVR is currently the only exchange-traded fund (ETF) focused on providing pure-play exposure to silver miners and physical silver, a precious metal that has both store-of-value benefits and evolving industrial uses. The ETF, launched by Sprott Asset Management on January 15, 2025, draws on the firm’s extensive experience in the precious metals and critical materials space. It joins Sprott’s growing family of precious metals ETFs that currently includes the Sprott Active Gold & Silver Miners ETF (GBUG), Sprott Gold Miners ETF (SGDM) and Sprott Junior Gold Miners ETF (SGDJ). “We believe silver has been considerably undervalued relative to gold, but silver seems to be hitting its stride, with prices recently breaking $35 per ounce for the first time in more than 12 years. Silver miners may be well-positioned as prices rise, fundamentals improve, and industrial demand grows,” John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management, stated in a press release Wednesday. By noon ET, spot silver was trading at $36.45 per ounce, down 0.9% for the day. Year to date, the metal has risen by 27%, setting a 13-year high of $37.32 per ounce along the way.
