Log in to today's North American session recap for the July 14, 2025. Today's flows have been a bit erratic, between a slow start in Forex that turned into another US Dollar rally, Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin hitting new highs before retracting decently and Commodities taking a hit. About the latter, it seems that some geopolitics are into play with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin concluding another round of talks after the US President announced the conclusion of a major NATO deal promising new rounds of weapons for Ukraine to defend itself. The G20 meeting is also ongoing in Johannesburg, SA. There has been some increased tensions in the Kursk Region around the headlines and Oil has been tanking since, closing the session down above 2%. WTI came shy of the $70 mark but just fell below the $67 mark in volatile selling momentum. Natural Gas on the other hand has risen up above 3% after gapping up on its weekly Futures Open. VIX Futures have went up despite a relatively Green session for Equities as the Earnings season officially commences tomorrow – major US Banks start the dance. The UK FTSE 100 has by the way just made new All-time highs, coming just shy of the 9,000 mark (8,999.2 intra-day highs – broke the key level on its CFD). Metals have also retracted in today's session in tandem, with all most traded Futures falling between 0.36% (Gold) and 3.50% (Platinum and Palladium). The Winner of the session in terms of Commodities is Orange Juice, victim of yet another squeeze, with Markets seemingly concerned by US 50% Tariffs announcements over Brazil, a major exporter.

Bitcoin rose above the $122,000 mark on Monday. According to data from CoinGecko, prices briefly topped that level before pulling back slightly. The jump comes in the face of strong inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional interest. Traders watched as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap set yet another record. Bitcoin ETFs Explode Based on reports, Bitcoin ETFs saw $1.20 billion flow in on Thursday alone. That was the biggest single‑day haul of 2025. Last week, QCP Capital said institutional flows into spot BTC ETFs topped $2 billion. These numbers suggest big players are betting on more upside. Open interest on futures now exceeds $43 billion. Funding rates on perpetual contracts are climbing too, showing crowded long positions. US President Donald Trump has voiced his support for clearer crypto rules. And on Monday, the US House of Representatives began debating a package of crypto bills aimed at giving firms more certainty. Companies have been adding bitcoin to their treasuries, with some corporate holdings rising by double‑digit percentages this year. According to BTSE COO Jeff Mei, longer‑term institutional buyers are driving prices higher. He forecasted that bitcoin could hit $125K “in the next month or two.” Mei also warned that trade disputes with the EU, Mexico and other partners might cause dips, but said buyers are holding firm. Rising Demand From Big Players Trading desks and crypto exchanges say they have seen fresh corporate orders. Some firms are buying blocks of 100 BTC or more at a time. Others are using dollar‑cost averaging to ease in gradually. Even smaller funds are boosting allocations, pushing aggregate demand higher. With every new all‑time high, more headlines appear and more investors pay attention. That creates a feedback loop: rising prices attract inflows, which lift prices further. Technical Warning Signs Emerge Meanwhile, veteran trader Peter Brandt caught attention over the weekend with his “banana” chart. He sketched bitcoin’s entire price history as a curved arc. The top of that arc sits near current levels, hinting at a ceiling where past rallies ended in sharp drops. Parabolic moves have a habit of reversing quickly. In just seven days, Bitcoin climbed from about $108K to over $122K—roughly a 14% rise. High funding rates and record open interest signal froth, and that often precedes pullbacks. Watch For Pullbacks And Breakouts Traders now face two scenarios. If institutional buyers keep adding, new highs may follow and $125K could fall within reach. But if ETF purchases slow or leveraged longs get squeezed, a 10–20% correction would not be surprising. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView

Ethereum has broken out above the $3,000 level, reaching its highest price since late January and signaling a strong resurgence in momentum. The move comes as Bitcoin continues to set new all-time highs, injecting renewed optimism into the broader crypto market. This week could prove pivotal, with the arrival of “Crypto Week” in the US Congress, when lawmakers will debate and potentially vote on critical legislation shaping the future of digital assets. Amid this renewed bullish backdrop, on-chain fundamentals are strengthening. Top analyst Ted Pillows shared data showing that the supply of ETH staked has just reached a new all-time high. This milestone reflects growing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term prospects, with more investors locking up their assets to secure the network and earn yield, rather than sell into strength. The surge in price and staking activity suggests a shift in sentiment as Ethereum regains its position as a core asset in institutional and retail portfolios. With macro and regulatory catalysts converging this week, ETH could be on the verge of a major breakout, especially if legislative clarity and Bitcoin’s momentum continue to drive capital into high-conviction assets like Ethereum. Ethereum Leads Altcoin Revival: Strong Fundamentals And Technical Momentum Ethereum is showing renewed bullish strength, acting as a key driver in the broader altcoin market recovery. After a prolonged consolidation phase that lasted several months, ETH has finally broken above the critical $3,000 mark, setting a new bullish structure and signaling the start of a potential macro uptrend. The recent price action has energized sentiment across the market, with many altcoins beginning to follow Ethereum’s lead. Fundamentally, Ethereum remains one of the strongest assets in the space. According to on-chain data by Ted Pillows, the percentage of ETH supply staked has reached a new all-time high of 29.44%. This metric is critical, as it reflects growing long-term conviction from large holders and smart money. When ETH is staked, it is locked up and cannot be sold, suggesting that investors expect higher prices and are committed to holding through volatility. All eyes are now on the key resistance zone between $3,500 and $3,600. If Ethereum manages to push through this area with conviction, it could trigger a broader breakout across the altcoin market. Many traders are closely watching this level as a catalyst for an explosive altcoin rally, fueled by increased capital rotation and technical momentum. A decisive break above resistance could validate the new bullish structure and mark the beginning of the next major expansion phase for ETH and the altcoin market at large. Ethereum Reclaims $3,000 With Bullish Breakout Above Key Resistance Ethereum (ETH) is showing strong bullish momentum on the 3-day chart, now trading at $3,071 after decisively breaking above the $2,850 resistance level. This breakout confirms a shift in trend structure following months of accumulation between $2,200 and $2,800. The recent surge has pushed ETH to its highest level since late January and sets the stage for a potential push toward the next major resistance at $3,500–$3,600. The chart also reveals a bullish crossover as ETH trades above its 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs), now at $2,241, $2,658, and $2,801, respectively. This alignment indicates increasing buyer control and reinforces the strength of the uptrend. Notably, the breakout was supported by a spike in volume, adding further conviction to the move. With this momentum, ETH has formed a higher high on the macro timeframe, signaling the potential start of a broader trend reversal. If Ethereum can hold above $2,850 and maintain upward pressure, the next leg higher could be swift, especially as Bitcoin reaches new all-time highs and crypto legislation developments unfold during “Crypto Week” in the US Congress.

Tomorrow’s July 15th Consumer Price Index inflation report has built some anticipation in the past week as markets try to cover some of their Dollar-selling positions, which took the Dollar Index to 96.50 lows on July 1st. Since then, positive US Job reports and another leg of the tech-AI boom have brought the USD back to the 98.00 handle, where Markets are close to trading. Nasdaq is again very close to record highs, and the S&P 500 is doing the same. Only the Dow Jones has been lagging on this move, based on the structural reshaping towards Tech, particularly in the past week: Bitcoin rallied consequently to new highs (around $123,200), and NVIDIA passed $4 trillion in Market Cap. Today’s CPI Preview will primarily focus on Forex pairs, where a decent turn in the US Dollar may shape currency flows for the ongoing second half. Let’s see where the Markets currently stand to get ready for the big number. Read More: Markets Today: Bitcoins Surge to $123k.

Avalanche (AVAX) climbed past the $21 level this week, marking a 2.5% gain over 24 hours. Trading volume hit nearly $800 million, and market cap hovered around $8.90 billion. Based on reports, this uptick comes after a rough patch of global market swings and macro tensions. Now, AVAX is standing out as one of the stronger performers in the broader crypto rebound. Record Transactions Hit New High According to on‑chain data, Avalanche logged 20 million transactions in a single day—its highest daily count ever. That surge reflects growing activity on the network. People are swapping tokens, engaging with smart contracts, and trying out new decentralized apps. It shows Avalanche can roll with heavy traffic without breaking a sweat. On‑Chain Fundamentals Gain Strength Activity on Avalanche isn’t just about one metric. Unique addresses on the network have climbed, suggesting a wider base of users. At the same time, total value locked in Avalanche-based protocols has held steady. Based on these signals, it looks like developer interest and real usage are building on top of the core chain. Analysts Eye Key Levels Technical watchers are now zeroing in on key price points. Crypto strategist Ali Martinez says AVAX needs to stay above $20 to keep bulls alive. He argues that a sustained hold here could open the door to the next resistance zone near $26. Other analysts have a more aggressive take: reclaiming $24.27 would clear the way for a run past $54. Price Prediction Signals Mild Upside Based on current AVAX price forecast of CoinCodex, the token could rise by 6.54% to reach $23 by August 13, 2025. Technical indicators show a Neutral sentiment right now, while the Fear & Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). Over the past 30 days, Avalanche saw 14 green days out of 30, with price swings averaging 5.97%. Risks And Competition Loom Crypto markets aren’t operating in a vacuum. Shifts in US interest rates, fresh regulatory moves, or big announcements from rival chains can push AVAX off course. Ethereum layer‑2 networks and other layer‑1 blockchains are all vying for the same users. The next few weeks should be telling. A drop below $20 could lead to more choppy trading. But a firm move above $24.20 might spark larger bets. Investors who like a bit of risk may add small positions around current prices. More cautious players may wait for a clear confirmation above the resistance band. Either way, all eyes are on Avalanche as it works through this make‑or‑break phase.

A new feasibility study for B2Gold’s (TSX: BTO; NYSE: BTG) Gramalote open pit project in central Colombia lifts the net present value (NPV) by 21% while it cuts capital costs by 8% compared with last year’s preliminary economic assessment. Shares rose. The $941 million NPV, at a 5% discount rate, assumes a gold price of $2,500 per oz. and comes with an internal rate of return (IRR) of 22%. Construction capital costs are pegged at $740 million over a payback period of 3.4 years. The study also raises mine life to 13 years from 10 in the previous assessment. Gramalote is about 230 km northwest of capital city Bogota. “The [feasibility study] results are slightly positive in our view, with operating parameters largely in line with our model but featuring a significantly lower initial capital expenditure,” Canaccord Genuity analyst Carey MacRury said in a note Monday. Exceeds expectations The study’s NPV and IRR estimates are slightly higher than Canaccord’s which were $862 million and 18%, respectively, MacRury said. He gives the project a net asset value (NAV) of $1.18 billion, using an NPV (at an 8% discount) at a long-term gold price of $3,447 per oz., representing about 12% of his total NAV estimate for B2Gold. The study comes about two weeks after B2Gold announced the first pour at its Goose mine in Nunavut, marking a new milestone for the company in the Americas. Its other mines include Fekola in Mali, Masbate in Philippines and the Otjikoto mine in Namibia. MacRury gives B2Gold a buy rating at a target price of C$8.25 on the TSX. Company shares gained 1% to C$4.83 apiece on Monday at mid-day in Toronto for a market capitalization of C$6.38 billion ($4.65 billion). Its stock has traded in a 12-month range of C$3.16 to C$5.20. 2.3Moz output Life-of-mine output is about 2.3 million oz. for average annual production of 227,000 oz. in the first five years, for an average grade of 1.23 grams gold per tonne over the first five years, B2Gold said. Annual gold recovery from the open pit is pegged at about 6 million tonnes per year. Mill processing is estimated to run for more than 13 years. “The primary next step for Gramalote involves permitting,” MacRury said. “While the project benefits from having major permits in place for a larger-scale operation, these must be modified to reflect the smaller 6 million tonnes-per-year scope outlined in the new [study].” Permit modifications should be completed in about a year to 18 months, B2Gold said. The study gives Gramalote all-in sustaining costs of $985 per oz. over the project’s life. The site hosts 76.7 million tonnes in probable reserves grading 0.96 gram gold for 2.36 million ounces, a significant update over last year’s resource. It outlined 192.2 million indicated tonnes grading 0.68 gram gold for 4.21 million contained oz. and 85.4 million inferred tonnes at 0.54 gram gold for 1.48 million ounces. The feasibility study is based on more than 270,000 metres of drilling at the site.

Tungsten miner Almonty Industries (TSX: AII) (NASDAQ: ALM) raised $90 million in its NASDAQ debut on Monday, issuing 20 million common shares at $4.50 each in the public offering. By midday, the stock traded at $4.85 apiece. Almonty’s Toronto-listed shares fell 14.3% to C$6.70, for a market capitalization of C$1.3 billion ($950 million). The company, which also trades in Frankfurt, Australia and previously on the US OTC market, initially planned to raise $75 million through the NASDAQ uplisting to fund a tungsten oxide facility in South Korea. The public offering follows approval from Almonty shareholders earlier this year of relocating the company’s jurisdiction of incorporation from Canada to Delaware to reflect the growing importance of the US market in its strategic positioning. Tungsten, while having a small market, is the material of choice for key defense applications such as high-density, armour-piercing projectiles. The mineral is required in US Department of Defence (DoD) contracts. Almonty currently has a 15-year deal with an unnamed defense company. Despite its strategic importance, the US has stopped producing its tungsten since 2015, and is now entirely reliant on imports. China, its main rival, dominates global tungsten production, accounting for over 80% of last year’s total output of 81,000 tons, according to the US Geological Survey. Due to growing tensions between the two nations, the DoD last year banned its contractors from buying China-mined tungsten starting 2027, meaning the US will need to shift to other nations to source the material. Almonty is looking to fill that void by developing a vertically integrated tungsten operation centered around the historic Sangdong mine in South Korea, which is expected to begin production this year. It also plans to build a processing facility nearby, which could take the production of tungsten oxide (WO3) from the entire operation to 4,750 tonnes annually. In its presentation, Almonty said its South Korean operation has the potential to produce over half of the world’s tungsten, as it hosts the largest tungsten deposit globally by inferred resources, with one of the highest grades. In addition to the Sangdong mine, the company also owns and operates a mine in Portugal.

🚀 Bitcoin Rompe Novas Máximas Históricas com Apoio Institucional e Expectativa Regulatória nos EUA Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE ExpertFX School – Julho de 2025 O Bitcoin (BTC/USD) iniciou a semana em forte alta, renovando suas máximas históricas acima de US$ 121.000, impulsionado por fluxos institucionais recordes e pela expectativa de avanços regulatórios nos Estados Unidos durante a chamada “Crypto Week” no Congresso americano. 🏛️ Legislação Cripto nos EUA: O Gatilho da Alta O novo rali do BTC vem sendo alimentado por otimismo em torno de três projetos de lei estratégicos que serão debatidos na Câmara dos Representantes dos EUA nos próximos dias: Genius Act Clarity Act Anti-Surveillance CBDC Act Essas propostas visam estabelecer diretrizes claras para stablecoins, custódia de ativos digitais e limites para moedas digitais de bancos centrais (CBDCs). A aprovação de qualquer um desses projetos pode representar um divisor de águas para a indústria cripto, promovendo segurança jurídica, atração de capital institucional e inovação financeira. 🏦 ETFs e Apoio Institucional: Um Novo Ciclo de Demanda Os ETFs de Bitcoin à vista nos EUA, como o $IBIT da BlackRock e o $FBTC da Fidelity, continuam registrando entradas históricas de capital. 📌 Destaques institucionais: BlackRock já detém mais de US$ 40 bilhões em BTC via seus fundos. Fidelity e Ark Invest aumentaram suas posições no segundo trimestre. Family offices e fundos de pensão estão migrando para cripto como proteção contra risco fiscal e monetário nos EUA. 📉 Dólar Fraco e Juros Reais Baixos: O Ambiente Perfeito Apesar da leve alta dos rendimentos dos Treasuries, os juros reais seguem baixos, e o dólar americano (DXY) recuou para 97,6 pontos, pressionado pelas expectativas de cortes de juros até o fim de 2025. 📈 BTC/USD: US$ 121.199,70 📉 DXY (USD): 97,6 Esse ambiente macro — com juros reais moderados, injeção de liquidez e expansão fiscal — reforça a atratividade de ativos escassos, como BTC e ouro. 🔶 Impactos no Ouro (XAU/USD) Embora o ouro também esteja em tendência de alta, a recente explosão do BTC fez com que parte do fluxo de proteção migrasse para cripto. BTC XAU/USD em 2025: BTC: +146% YTD Ouro: +18% YTD Ambos refletem desconfiança crescente sobre a sustentabilidade do déficit americano e a autonomia do Federal Reserve diante das pressões políticas da Casa Branca. 📊 Expectativa Técnica para o BTC/USD Tendência: Claramente bullish Próxima resistência: US$ 125.000 Suporte-chave: US$ 112.500 (média de 21 dias) RSI: Acima de 75, indicando momentum extremo, mas sem sinais claros de reversão Volume institucional: Crescente e dominante — o que reduz a probabilidade de correções abruptas de curto prazo 🧠 Conclusão do Analista Nos próximos dias, os mercados estarão atentos a cada fala vinda do Congresso americano. A simples sinalização de avanço legislativo pode catapultar o BTC a novas máximas em um curto espaço de tempo.

🇺🇸 Casa Branca Pressiona Fed, Trump Ameaça Rússia com Tarifas: Cresce o Risco de Intervenção Política na Política Monetária dos EUA Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE ExpertFX School – Julho de 2025 A tensão institucional nos Estados Unidos aumentou significativamente nesta segunda-feira (14), após uma série de declarações da Casa Branca e do Federal Reserve sinalizarem choques políticos, incerteza regulatória e pressões sobre a independência da política monetária americana. O conselheiro sênior da Casa Branca, Kevin Hassett, sugeriu que o Fed precisa de "mais supervisão do Congresso" e criticou fortemente os gastos da autoridade monetária com reformas em seus prédios — uma pauta que pode servir como argumento jurídico para tentar demitir Jerome Powell antes de 2026. Em paralelo, o próprio presidente Donald Trump voltou a criticar Powell abertamente, defendendo uma taxa de juros de 1% nos EUA para facilitar o financiamento do seu ambicioso pacote fiscal. 💣 Ameaças Comerciais Contra Rússia Em outro movimento que eleva o risco geopolítico global, Trump declarou estar "insatisfeito com a Rússia" e prometeu impor tarifas de 100% em 50 dias caso não haja acordo comercial. Além disso, o governo pretende aplicar sanções secundárias contra países que comprarem petróleo russo, elevando o risco de fragmentação comercial global. 🏦 Fed Divide-se Internamente e Mantém Postura Restritiva Enquanto isso, o membro do Fed Hammack reforçou que, embora veja uma economia saudável, a inflação ainda está acima da meta, e que não há urgência para cortes de juros no curto prazo. Destacou ainda que: O Fed está próximo da taxa neutra. Muitos planos empresariais estão congelados pela incerteza. Ainda não há clareza sobre os efeitos das tarifas. ⚠️ Impactos no Mercado Financeiro 🔶 Ouro (XAU/USD): O metal precioso subiu quase 1% nos últimos dois dias, beneficiado por: Crescimento das incertezas políticas e fiscais nos EUA. Deterioração da credibilidade institucional do Fed. Ameaças geopolíticas (Rússia, Brasil, China). Zona crítica atual: $3.355: resistência próxima. $3.325: suporte na média de 50 dias. Caso o Fed perca credibilidade, o ouro tende a acelerar para $3.400–$3.500. ₿ Bitcoin (BTC/USD): O BTC já acumula +US$ 15.000 de alta desde o pacote fiscal ("Big Beautiful Bill") aprovado em 3 de julho, cotado agora em US$ 121.199,70. Investidores veem o BTC como alternativa frente à possível submissão do Fed à pressão política. ETFs institucionais (como $IBIT) quebram recordes de captação. 💵 Índice do Dólar (DXY): O DXY caiu para 97,6, refletindo: Aumento da percepção de risco político. Dúvidas sobre a independência do Fed. Temor de nova rodada inflacionária se o Fed ceder a Trump. 📌 O Que Esperar? Se o Fed mantiver postura firme, o mercado pode acalmar temporariamente. Se Powell for demitido ou o Fed ceder, haverá um movimento agressivo nos ativos de proteção (ouro, BTC), enfraquecimento do dólar e potencial sell-off em Treasuries. A ameaça comercial contra a Rússia pode reacender preocupações energéticas, afetar o petróleo e gerar instabilidade na Europa. 🧠 Conclusão do Analista Estamos diante de uma possível ruptura entre o Executivo e o Banco Central americano. A tentativa da Casa Branca de interferir na política monetária pode desencadear fortes reavaliações de risco por parte de investidores institucionais.

Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high once again, surging to $123,200 earlier today, a move that has reignited bullish sentiment across the cryptocurrency market. After weeks of steady consolidation and strong institutional inflows, the top cryptocurrency continues its upward momentum, breaking past key psychological levels and entering uncharted territory. One of the most notable developments fueling this surge is the rise in demand from so-called “accumulator” addresses. According to top analyst Darkfost, these wallets—classified by their consistent behavior of only accumulating BTC without any history of selling—have hit a new record high in 2025. This group of addresses is often associated with high-conviction holders, including long-term retail investors, institutional participants, and funds with strategic positioning. The spike in accumulator activity reveals a deeper layer of confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory. Even with BTC above $120,000, these addresses continue to stack sats aggressively, suggesting that smart money is not waiting for lower prices. Instead, they appear to be preparing for a potential continuation of the bull cycle. Accumulators Add BTC, But Will They Hold Through Volatility? As of today, Bitcoin accumulator addresses have collectively added approximately 248,000 BTC, well above the monthly average of 164,000 BTC. This significant uptick highlights a sharp increase in demand over a short period, indicating that long-term players are actively positioning themselves despite Bitcoin continuing to post new all-time highs. These addresses, often associated with entities that have never sold BTC, are typically viewed as highly sophisticated investors with long-term horizons. The recent surge in accumulation suggests these players see continued upside potential, even after Bitcoin reached $123,200. Their behavior reflects strong market confidence and a belief that the current rally may be far from over. However, there is a caveat. If Bitcoin enters a phase of correction or prolonged consolidation, some of these addresses may begin to exit their positions. Doing so would strip them of their accumulator status and introduce substantial selling pressure into the market. With the 248,000 BTC added now worth around $30 billion, any significant liquidation from this cohort could impact short-term price stability. This week will be particularly crucial. The highly anticipated “Crypto Week” in Washington begins, with the US House of Representatives scheduled to discuss and vote on key crypto regulatory bills. The outcomes could drive volatility and influence whether these accumulators continue to hold or begin to fold. Bitcoin Breaks Out With Strong Momentum Above $120K The 8-hour chart shows Bitcoin has decisively broken out above the key resistance at $109,300, accelerating sharply to reach new all-time highs at $123,200. This breakout follows weeks of consolidation between the $103,600 and $109,300 levels, during which Bitcoin established a solid base of support. The move was accompanied by a notable surge in volume, confirming strong buyer conviction behind the rally. Technically, BTC is now trading well above its 50, 100, and 200-period simple moving averages (SMAs), which currently sit at $110,795, $108,079, and $106,980, respectively. The bullish alignment of these moving averages supports the ongoing uptrend and indicates that buyers have regained full control of the market structure. The explosive breakout above $110K suggests the market has entered a price discovery phase, where historical resistance levels offer little guidance. If Bitcoin manages to hold above $120K in the coming sessions, this level may flip into new support. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

Jaguar Mining (TSX: JAG) says it has negotiated a significantly reduced environmental fine with Brazil’s Minas Gerais state government related to a tailings rupture that occurred at the company’s MTL mine complex in late 2024. The penalty stems from an infraction notice issued by the State Secretariat for the Environment and Sustainable Development (SEMAD) following a partial rupture in the Satinoco tailings pile at the company’s Turmalina gold mine, part of the MTL complex located 130 km northwest of Belo Horizonte. The incident, which occurred in early December, displaced hundreds of local residents and affected multiple structures in the surrounding area. Jaguar was forced to suspend mine operations immediately and received a fine of 320 million reais ($52.5 million) in January. In a press release Monday, the company announced it has reached an agreement with SEMAD to pay a much lower fine of approximately 60 million reais ($10.8 million). Jaguar Mining traded 2.4% higher at C$3.78 as of 11:30 a.m. ET on the news, for a market capitalization of C$299.8 million ($219.3 million). The company has now recovered its losses from the tailings incident, which took its stock to as low as C$1.97 apiece. Landmark settlement This landmark settlement underscores Jaguar Mining’s proactive engagement and unwavering commitment to responsible corporate conduct, strengthening its financial position and providing clarity for future operations, it said in a statement. The payment, it added, is structured with terms aimed at “supporting the company’s financial liquidity and operational continuity, while providing fair compensation for the recognized damages caused by the incident.” Nearly half of the fine (about 24.5 million reais) will go to specific socio-environmental projects within the state of Minas Gerais. The balance can be paid in monthly instalments, with grace periods. This agreement is an important milestone reached in our robust plan to resume operations in MTL … and is a clear testament to the company´s effort to address the Satinoco incident comprehensively and responsibly,” stated Albano Tondo, the newly appointed deputy CEO of Jaguar Mining. As disclosed earlier this month, the company has a “structured and comprehensive plan” to support the restart of operations at the MTL complex. This includes technical studies and construction adjustments to ensure the geotechnical safety factors at Satinoco meet or exceed industry standards. Last year, the MTL complex, which contains the Turmalina mine and processing plant as well as three satellite deposits, produced 23,710 oz. of gold, representing more than a third of Jaguar’s total output. The company also operates the Caeté complex, which hosts the Pilar gold mine.

The Bitcoin price is once again commanding the spotlight as bullish momentum propels the leading cryptocurrency to new all-time highs. With the price already breaking past the $122,000 mark, analysts are growing increasingly confident in the potential for even higher targets. A recently shared chart analysis by market expert CrediBull Crypto suggests that the current rally is far from—and most importantly, no major dips are expected along the way. As a result, he has forecasted that BTC could see a significant price surge to $155,000 soon. Bitcoin Price Action Clears Path To $155,000 Bitcoin’s momentum continues to gather steam, with technical indicators from CrediBull Crypto’s wave analysis report signals a bullish continuation that could propel the cryptocurrency’s price to $155,000 in the coming weeks. The analyst’s new wave count projection suggests that Bitcoin is firmly in the middle of a powerful upward leg, with minimal signs of a pullback ahead. CrediBull Crypto’s shared price chart highlights a well-formed textbook Elliott Wave structure that suggests that Bitcoin is in the early stages of a strong Wave 3. Notably, BTC’s recent breakout above the $112,000 range shifted market sentiment in a bullish direction. What once served as resistance was quickly flipped to support, and now price action is clearing a path toward even higher ATH targets as momentum continues to build. A critical factor supporting the analyst’s optimistic BTC outlook is the daily demand zone between $98,000 and 101,000. This area served as the launch point for the previous rally above $112,000 and has remained untested ever since. With selling pressure diminishing and strength building, CrediBull Crypto believes that the price of Bitcoin will stay well above the $110,000 level. He also views a retest to $112,000 or a decline to $110,000 or below as highly unlikely under current bullish conditions. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s projected path forward places it near $135,000 by the completion of Wave 3, followed by a brief period of consolidation before a final push toward $155,000. Bitcoin Rise Above $120,000 Is Just The Beginning As Bitcoin continues its ride above $120,000, Crypto Fella, a market expert on X, has cited the potential for the cryptocurrency to enter price discovery mode and skyrocket to uncharted levels. The analyst’s chart highlights a well-defined ascending trendline beginning in early 2023, with three distinct rally zones marked by purple rectangles. Each of these phases showcases consolidation followed by an aggressive upward move, suggesting a clear pattern of accumulation and breakout. The current leg of Bitcoin’s rally appears to mirror this trend from past bullish cycles but with greater force, hinting that the leading cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a parabolic surge. A key target identified in Crypto Fella’s analysis sits around the $138,206 level, which aligns with the projected continuation along the trendline. This level represents the next major psychological resistance and could mark the entrance into a new phase of price discovery.

SaucerSwap SAUCE crypto jumps 70% in July 2025, breaking key resistance at $0.43 amid a Nvidia-Hedera deal. Rising DeFi TVL and the buyback program are driving demand. SaucerSwap, the decentralized exchange (DEX) on Hedera, is topping charts after surging 30% over the weekend, riding a wave of higher highs visible on the daily chart. As SAUCE, the governance token, rose above the local resistance at around $0.43, its total value locked (TVL), according to DeFiLlama data, is also trending higher. By July 14, 2025, SaucerSwap’s assets under management stood at nearly $70 million, pushing its revenue in 2025 even higher. (Source: SaucerSwap TVL on Defillama) SAUCE Crypto Up 70% in July 2025 On the daily chart, SAUCE (No data) crypto is in a bullish breakout formation, and prices might continue rising. The recent surge is accompanied by rising trading volume, indicating strong trader interest. In July 2025 alone, SAUCE has been on an upward trend, gaining over 65% as buyers step in, pushing the token above Q2 2025 highs. SAUCEPriceSAUCE24h7d30d1yAll time The next feasible target for optimistic traders is the 2024 highs of around $0.165. However, for this level to be retested, SaucerSwap must dominate DEX trading, and some of the best cryptos to buy, including Solana and Ethereum, should extend gains, clearing major resistance levels. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 SaucerSwap TVL Rising In the short to medium term, SaucerSwap could see more inflows, pushing earnings and fees even higher, thanks in part to a broader DeFi recovery. As of July 14, 2025, the total DeFi TVL stood at over $127 million. Although most DeFi activity occurs on Ethereum, Hedera has been posting gains. All DeFi protocols on the platform now manage nearly $120 million, a sharp increase from early July, when the total TVL was just $73 million. Stader, the liquid staking platform, is the largest by TVL, but SaucerSwap dominates DEX trading on Hedera. (Source: DefiLlama) In the last month alone, the SaucerSwap total TVL has increased by nearly 50%, reflecting the spike in token prices during the same period. Over the last two days, coinciding with the rapid expansion above key resistance levels, SaucerSwap’s DEX volume spiked by nearly 300% of the average daily volume on Hedera. SAUCE Buyback Program While rising DeFi activity on Hedera could drive demand, the DEX is also actively buying tokens from the secondary market. In December 2024, SaucerSwap Labs announced they had bought 122,045 SAUCE using a portion of swap fees and HBAR staking rewards. Increased token buying encouraged more liquidity providers to commit funds to the pool, further boosting swap fees. By purchasing tokens from the circulating supply, SaucerSwap directly reduced supply, creating upward pressure on prices. HBAR Rally and Nvidia-Hedera Deal Rising HBAR prices could bolster demand and lift SAUCE prices. In the last month, HBAR has risen nearly 70%, gaining 24% in the past 24 hours, lifting Hedera-based tokens, including SAUCE. At this pace, HBAR outpaced some of the top Solana meme coins. Hedera HashgraphPriceMarket CapHBAR$8.55B24h7d30d1yAll time This rally is driven by news that Nvidia, one of the world’s most valuable companies, has integrated Hedera technology into its Blackwell chipsets. In this deal, Hedera will provide a platform for logging computations for immutability and timestamping for Nvidia’s verifiable compute solution. This integration is likely to attract more institutions to explore Hedera, boosting network activity and, consequently, trading volume on SaucerSwap.

Silver price rose 1.6% to $38.96 per ounce on Monday, its strongest level since September 2011, as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid escalating US trade tensions. The spike followed President Donald Trump’s announcement of 30% tariffs on most imports from the European Union and Mexico, boosting demand for non-rate-sensitive commodities. Mexico is also the largest producer of silver and a key supplier to the American market. Analysts say the rally is driven by speculative flows, with silver moving above key technical resistance levels as traders bet on further gains. ANZ noted that breaching the $35–$37 range could propel silver prices toward $40 per ounce. Market outlook Participants are also eyeing US consumer price index and producer price index readings due later this week for signals on Federal Reserve policy, given silver’s tendency to benefit in a lower-rate environment. In addition, Indian investors, traditionally heavy buyers of gold, have increasingly turned to silver this year as its returns outpaced those of gold. The rise in appetite for the metal has left the physical market under strain in London, where most silver is held by exchange-traded funds — meaning it isn’t available to lend or buy. Since February, the volume of silver-backed ETFs has expanded by some 2,570 tons, according data compiled by Bloomberg. Silver’s outperformance of gold means that the ratio between the two has dropped in recent months, though silver still remains relatively cheap historically. It currently takes about 86 ounces of silver to buy 1 ounce of gold, compared with a 10-year average of 80. “Silver demand is currently benefiting from the threat of trade wars and bullion being way out of reach for many,” Priyanka Sachdeva, an analyst at Phillip Nova Pte Ltd, told Bloomberg. “Gold has already seen a tremendous upswing, and it’s currently expensive,” leaving investors more inclined to consider a cheaper alternative, she added. Silver ETF inflows at record pace Silver has emerged as one of the most attractive investment assets of 2025, with funds flowing into exchange-traded products (ETP) backed by the metal already surpassing all of last year, says the Silver Institute. During the first half of 2025, silver-backed ETPs saw net inflows totalling 95 million oz., taking the total global holdings to 1.13 billion oz. — only 7% below the peak level of 1.21 billion oz. in February 2021, according data compiled by the Institute. The total value of ETP holdings hit a series of all-time highs in June, exceeding $40 billion for the first time. Nearly half of the year’s gains were recorded in that month alone. By month-end, the metal’s price had gone up by a quarter for the year. The Silver Institute notes that June 2025 was the most significant monthly increase since the Reddit-driven silver squeeze in early 2021, when prices leaped to nearly $30 an ounce.

Shaco AI, in a fresh update, highlighted that Bitcoin is showing off its moves, dancing upwards past both the 25-hour ($119,088.50) and 50-hour ($118,338.56) Simple Moving Averages. With such momentum, it’s clear BTC has decided it’s not a bear season yet. Momentum And Indicators Shaco AI’s analysis on Bitcoin dives deep into the technical indicators, and there’s no shortage of bullish energy in the air. First off, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently riding high at 86.02. That’s well into overbought territory, and as Shaco colorfully put it, “it might need to hydrate soon.” Such elevated RSI levels often signal a potential cooldown on the horizon, but for now, momentum is favoring the bulls. Adding fuel to the trend is the Average Directional Index (ADX), which sits at a robust 44 points. According to Shaco AI, this reading confirms that the current uptrend is strong and well-supported. The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) indicator is also reinforcing this bullish narrative, with a reading of 967.98. Shaco described it as “screaming positive vibes,” a signal that buying pressure continues to dominate. A rising MACD in conjunction with a strong ADX often paints a picture of confident market participants driving the trend with conviction. One of the most telling signs is volume. Shaco pointed out that Bitcoin’s trading volume has surged to 2704.5, a significant leap above its average of 856.81. He described this as “some serious weight lifting in buying interest,” underscoring that this isn’t a weak or speculative move — traders are putting real capital behind the rally. Support And Resistance: Bitcoin Make-Or-Break Levels The analyst went further to highlight key levels traders should closely monitor. He noted, “Key Levels Alert: Keep an eye on the resistance at $122,666.0 and support sitting firm at $116,900.05. It feels like Bitcoin is playing ‘The Floor is Lava’ with support levels!” This colorful analogy points to the importance of holding key support to maintain bullish momentum. According to Shaco AI, if Bitcoin can sustain a move above the current resistance zone, traders might want to watch for a potential breakout. However, with the RSI already deep in overbought territory, there’s also the possibility that BTC may “peak too soon,” leading to a pullback or brief consolidation phase. He wrapped up the post with a reminder that while momentum is clearly favoring the bulls, it’s essential to stay cautious. “Always make well-informed decisions and manage your risk carefully,” the analyst advised, reinforcing the importance of strategic planning in a volatile market.

With crypto regulation garnering significant attention and Bitcoin surpassing $120,000, speculation is growing that President Trump’s World Liberty Financial DeFi project may decide to make its WLFI crypto token available for trading. Politicians in the US have dubbed this week ‘Crypto Week USA’ due to the three pivotal pieces of digital asset legislation set to be discussed in the House of Representatives this week. The three legislations up for discussion are the GENIUS Act, CLARITY Act, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. In terms of significant investments in WLFI crypto, the mysterious Aqua 1 Foundation, based in the UAE, is the highest-profile known investor. In late June, it was announced that Aqua 1 had purchased $100 million worth of WLFI crypto tokens, becoming the largest publicly known investor in the business. However, a review of corporate registries shows that Aqua 1’s digital profile and other public information are almost non-existent. There has been no further information regarding the source of its capital or the person it named as its founding partner, Dave Lee. “At this stage, we are not disclosing additional information beyond what has been publicly shared,” Aqua 1 said in a press release, before adding, “Aqua 1 is backed by a group of long-term, mission-aligned partners and led by Dave Lee and a global team with deep expertise in web3 and digital asset infrastructure.” EXPLORE: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates The post Could Crypto Week USA See President Trump’s WLFI Crypto Token Go Live For Trading appeared first on 99Bitcoins.

The Dogecoin weekly structure is once again the talk of Crypto-Twitter after pseudonymous technician Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) published a logarithmic Fibonacci road-map for the meme-coin’s fourth bull cycle. The chart, built on TradingView and shared on 13 July, anchors the entire 2021–2022 range and projects both horizontal retracement levels and upward-sloping Fib-channels, offering a granular set of targets. Dogecoin To $23? At Friday’s close DOGE changed hands near $0.20, almost exactly against the 0.5 retracement line, highlighted on the graphic at $0.19049. The overlay shows price compressing inside a three-year ascending channel whose lower rail has provided support since the June 2022 capitulation. Volatility has been fading inside that corridor, shaping a broadening wedge that has so far respected every golden-ratio diagonal printed on the chart. Cantonese Cat’s horizontal grid begins with the cycle floor—Fib 0 at $0.04909—and climbs through a dense cluster of intermediate resistances: 0.618 at $0.26232, 0.707 at roughly $0.33, 0.786 at $0.41368 and 0.886 at $0.54253. The 1.0 line—Dogecoin’s May 2021 macro-top—is fixed at $0.73905 and forms the upper boundary of what the analyst calls “the first liquidity wall.” Above it, blue extensions extend far beyond previous cycle extremes: 1.272 at $1.54518, 1.414 at $2.27089 and 1.618 at $3.94842. Super-cycle projections appear at 2.0 ($11.12397) and the headline-grabbing 2.272 extension at $23.25744—levels the trader himself stresses are “purely imaginative unless unprecedented liquidity flows in.” Golden channels running diagonally across the whole canvas translate the same ratios into time-adjusted dynamic support and resistance. Internal rails marked 0.236 and 0.382 have repeatedly capped minor rallies since mid-2022, while the 0.5 diagonal is now acting as an inflection point underneath spot price. The current weekly candle is probing that rail from above, echoing the analyst’s separate Ichimoku view that DOGE is “still under Tenkan resistance” and “will probably close the week right around 20 cents, then fight another day to push through resistance later. I don’t think we’ll get past this level on its first try.” The longer-term backdrop that keeps the feline strategist constructive is visible on the two-month chart. There, DOGE has printed what fellow technician @ManehattanStonk labels a “rising three methods” formation—a bullish continuation pattern that Cantonese Cat notes is “playing out alongside XLM.” Volume dynamics appear to support the thesis: in another post the analyst calls recent selling “pathetic” and argues: “Who’s selling DOGE? Nobody important. Sell volume’s pathetic. All it takes is just some volume to come in and this thing will pump to the moon.” Whether that pump can realistically reach the 2.272 extension—and thus the meme-laden target of $23—is the question that triggered the thread. Cantonese Cat’s answer is blunt: “I don’t think it’s going to $23 this cycle.” The comment underscores his broader point that Fibonacci projections, while mathematically neat, are ultimately hostage to liquidity conditions no one can forecast. The $3.94 region—marked by the 1.618 Fibonacci extension—stands out as a credible upside target. Analyst Kevin notes that in every previous bull cycle, Dogecoin ultimately advanced to this very extension. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.20575.

Bitcoin has just surpassed the $120K mark, signaling a strong return of investor confidence. As capital flows beyond Bitcoin, altcoins are seeing a sharp rise in interest. Investors are betting big on early-stage projects, in particular, for their explosive potential in bullish markets. One standout is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which has already raised over $2.7M in its token presale. The project’s Layer-2 infrastructure attracts attention for its capacity to make Bitcoin faster, more scalable, and more functionally competitive. The Bitcoin Rally Is On, But Functionality Still Lags The current Bitcoin rally didn’t happen overnight. The bullish story has been building over the past few months, steadily supported by ETF applications from major players, crypto regulations turning positive, and changing macroeconomic sentiments. $BTC is doing what it does best. Time and again, it proves its worth as a store of value, emphasising that investors shouldn’t take the broader crypto market lightly. But Bitcoin’s capabilities still fall short. Running decentralized apps or scaling transactions on Bitcoin’s main chain continues to be difficult, both technically and financially. This is where Bitcoin Hyper comes in. Rather than treating Bitcoin as sacrosanct, it introduces a Layer-2 solution designed to work with the network. Not around it. What Is Bitcoin Hyper, and Why Are Investors Paying Attention? Bitcoin Hyper is building a Layer-2 blockchain for Bitcoin. The idea is simple. Let Bitcoin remain the secure foundation, while Bitcoin Hyper handles the transactions, the apps, and the ecosystem growth. Here’s what the project has in the works: Scalable transactions via a dedicated Layer-2 network. $BTC deposits and withdrawals through a canonical bridge. Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration to support fast, smart contract-enabled apps. A roadmap that includes full DeFi and NFT support, developer toolkits, and DAO governance. Bitcoin Hyper is currently in Phase 2 of its roadmap, with presale prices increasing in stages. $HYPER tokens can be staked, used for gas, and will eventually unlock exclusive ecosystem features. The tokenomics leans heavily toward development and infrastructure: 30% is allocated to project development, and another 30% to the treasury. Marketing and staking rewards follow, at 25% and 5% respectively. The project has also completed two independent security audits by blockchain security firms Coinsult and Spywolf. The audits confirmed that the coin meets industry standards for reliability and investor protection. Layer-2 Projects Are on the Move and $HYPER Is Tapping In Layer-2 tokens have been making serious moves in recent weeks. $ZKF has surged 84% in the past seven days, while $MAGIC is up 46%. Other notable performers like $LUMIA and $POL have also posted strong double-digit gains, reflecting growing investor interest in scalable blockchain infrastructure. Scalability is no longer optional. It’s a core part of blockchain’s next chapter. And for Bitcoin, which has never been known for speed or flexibility, Layer-2 is likely the way ahead. Given current market trends, $HYPER could reach around $0.02595 by the end of 2025. And assuming the project delivers on its white paper goals (like the mainnet launch, dApp support, and top exchange listings), it might climb as high as $0.253 by 2030. That would mark a return of over 20 times the initial presale price. The above Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) price prediction isn’t guaranteed, of course, but it is based on a fairly simple logic: if Bitcoin gains real utility at scale, the networks that provide it will benefit first. Why Timing Matters More Than Usual Bitcoin Hyper’s token presale is structured around timed price increases. As of now, $HYPER is priced at $0.01225, with the next increase set to trigger in just a few hours. Staking APY also declines over time, encouraging early participation. The presale traffic is growing as the $BTC rally fuels interest in the broader ecosystem. This isn’t just about a good idea. It’s about being early to infrastructure that could play a role in how Bitcoin evolves from a static asset into something developers and users can actually build on. Final Thoughts: Bitcoin’s Next Move is Layer-2 Bitcoin crossing $120K is more than just a milestone. It’s a signal that markets move in phases. While early gains often go to the safest assets, the next leg is likely to reward low-cap altcoins backed by breakthrough projects. Bitcoin Hyper is one of those projects. By bringing scalability and flexibility to Bitcoin through its Layer-2 infrastructure, it positions itself not as a competitor but as a necessary evolution of what Bitcoin can offer. The strong community engagement and presale traffic that’s already raised over $2.7M shows that investors are looking beyond the headline coins. If you’re considering early exposure to Bitcoin Hyper, visit the official presale website to learn more about the Layer-2 infrastructure and secure $HYPER tokens before the next price increase. New to presales? Be sure to read the How to Buy Bitcoin Hyper guide, and, as always, do your own research before making any crypto investment decisions.

It appears that the fears market participants had in regards to a recession may be waning and this has helped Oil prices. Economists now predict better growth, more jobs, a lower chance of a recession, and slower inflation compared to three months ago, according to The Wall Street Journal's quarterly survey. On average, economists see a 33% chance of a recession in the next year, down from 45% in April but higher than 22% in January. close Source: TradingView (click to enlarge) Source: TradingView (click to enlarge) Client Sentiment Data Looking at OANDA client sentiment data and market participants are long on WTI with 73% of traders net-long.
