Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” stepped back into the Bitcoin market with a bold move. According to his tweet on July 11, he purchased another Bitcoin at $110,000. Based on reports, he’s betting that today’s price will look cheap if Bitcoin ever hits $1 million. His choice puts him in what analyst Raoul Pal calls the “Banana Zone,” where fear of missing out drives latecomers to buy at the top and then suffer losses. Bitcoin Betting At High Prices Kiyosaki used his “PIGs Get Fat. HOGs Get Slaughtered” rule to explain why he bought at such a high level. He plans to hold until less disciplined investors push prices even higher and then sell when they panic. He warned that FOMO is like a disease that spreads fast through crowded markets. In his view, buying now—even if prices seem lofty—is key to making a profit later. His Early Entry And Regrets He first bought Bitcoin at $6,000, a price he admits felt expensive at the time. He said he waited too long to learn about modern money before jumping in. That lesson stuck. He’s open about past mistakes and uses them to guide current moves. He figures that if Bitcoin reaches $1 million, he’ll regret not adding more at $110,000. Learning From Past Mistakes Kiyosaki recognized he “could be wrong and a sucker” after buying another Bitcoin, yet he added that he’d “rather be a sucker than a LOSER if Bitcoin does go to $1 million.” He noted that he can handle a $100,000 loss thanks to his past work and savings. That safety net gives him room to ride out sharp drops—dips of 30–50% happen in crypto all the time. Advice For Small Investors He urged readers to pick up bits of Bitcoin however they can. “Even if you can afford only one Satoshi today, buy it,” he said. A Satoshi is one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin. Based on those remarks, he expects newcomers to look back and wish they’d snapped up every chance to buy. He also told people to “think for yourself” and not follow his words blindly. Kiyosaki’s transparency with regards purchase prices gives his fanbase a clear view of his risk comfort level. The author views each trade as a learning step, not just an opportunity to make fast bucks. By sharing his entry point at $110,000, he sets a real‑world example of how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of that $1 million goal. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Drilling Down to Identify the Strong Side of the Forex Market EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk One of the most important decisions in forex trading is identifying the right side of the market to trade. In fact, many traders will tell you that choosing the right side is more than half the battle. If you can consistently position on the strong side of the market, you’re already putting yourself in a better position to succeed. So, how do you find that strong side? The answer lies in a systematic chart analysis method known as “drilling down,” paired with tools like the Amazing Trader charting algorithm. EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk What Is the Strong Side of the Market? The “strong side” is the side least likely to see follow-through against it. In other words, it’s the side where there are no nearby key stops to trigger reversals or break momentum. When you identify this side, you increase the odds of catching trades that flow with the market rather than fight it. What Does “Drilling Down” Mean? Drilling down is a top-down technical analysis approach. You start with longer-term charts—such as the monthly—and work your way down through weekly, daily, and intraday timeframes (e.g., 4-hour, 1-hour, 15-minute) to see if price action aligns across all levels. This process helps: • Confirm trends • Spot key support/resistance levels • Distinguish retracements from trend continuations For day traders, this is especially valuable in distinguishing whether a short-term move is just a pullback or a true trend shift. So EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk EUR/USD Drill Down Analysis (Live Example) Let’s apply this process to EUR/USD using the Amazing Trader Ladder Strategy and chart pattern analysis. Monthly Chart • Trend: Up • Pattern: 5 consecutive green candles • This month: A red candle would break the pattern • Key Level: 1.1343 (would signal outside month if broken) Takeaway: The monthly chart is not offering much immediate guidance. EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk Weekly Chart • Trend: Up • Pattern: 7 green candles in a row (one exception can be ignored) • This Week: The pattern was broken, suggesting risk of retracement or consolidation • Key Level: 1.1065 (still intact) Takeaway: No immediate threat to the trend, but signs of exhaustion…drill down further. EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk Daily Chart • Trend: Still up, but currently retracing 2 Patterns to Watch 1) Amazing Trader Ladder Pattern • Falling blue ladder rungs indicate momentum is shifting down • Key Levels: o Below 1.1750 = downside risk persists while below it o Above 1.1750 = risk to the downside is negated o 1.1662 = current support (near double bottom) o Break below 1.1662 → 1.1580 becomes the next target 2) Magic Levels Pattern • 5-day sideways range centered around 1.1700 (i.e. 1.17 has traded 5 days I a row) • This pattern gains strength when prices pivot these key round numbers like 0, 2, 5, 8 • The longer the consolidation, the more powerful the breakout when it happens • Once the pattern is broken, it often signals a directional; move in the direction of the break • Watch closely to see if 1.17 pivot becomes either support or resistance EURUSD Drill Down Where is it Headed? Analysis and Risk 4-Hour Chart • Key Levels: 1.1662 (support), 1.1750 (resistance) • Larger stops likely below 1.1662 = the more vulnerable side • A break of 1.1662 could lead to 1.1580 • If 1.1662 is broken then 1.1714 becomes a key resistance on the AT ladder Let the Market Tell You the Strong Side By using a structured drill-down approach, combined with repeatable patterns like the Amazing Trader ladder (and Magic Levels), traders can spot high-probability setups with greater confidence. If you’re serious about trading with the trend and staying on the strong side, make this process part of your daily preparation. Let the charts align and let the market lead the way.

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. Boosted by rising silver prices, 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, coinciding with silver’s surge to a 13-year high. 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. Those gains extended into July, with a recent surge that took silver prices briefly above $39 an ounce — the highest in 14 years — and its year-to-date gains to 27%, matching that of gold. Futures trading also demonstrated a strong commitment to silver as a store of value, the Institute says. Data available showed that net long position on the CME was a staggering 163% from the 2024 year-end levels as of June 24, with average net longs at their highest levels since H1 2021. On the retail front, the investment trend varies by region. In Europe, retail investment (in volume terms) still lags behind the elevated levels seen during 2020–2022 despite its recovery over the past year and a half. India, on the other hand, continues to see strong demand, posting a 7% year-over-year gain over the first six months of 2025. This contrasts with the US, where selling back by retail investors remains high. This dynamic, along with weak retail purchases, has weighed heavily on new bar and coin sales, the Silver Institute says. As a result, overall retail demand in the US is estimated to have fallen by at least 30% this year. Looking ahead, in the coin and bar market, the research group sees “potential for strong two-way activity in the months ahead,” though demand for newly struck products may remain subdued. One area of uncertainty, however, is how investors will react should the silver price eclipse $40. “The market could see a mixture of profit-taking by some, while other investors jump in, expecting further price gains,” it says.

Ethereum has finally touched the $3,000 price level once again after spending weeks trading in a narrow range beneath $2,800. This recent breakout, although brief, marks the first time Ethereum reclaimed this level since early February. According to technical analyst Merlijn The Trader, Ethereum’s next destination after breaking past $3,000 is already in sight. Bull Flag Breakout Points To Measured Move For Ethereum Ethereum went through an interesting rally last week alongside Bitcoin’s push to new all-time highs. However, this Ethereum price rally, which saw it touch $3,000 again, wasn’t based on momentum spillover from Bitcoin alone. This is because Ethereum itself experienced significant institutional interest from Spot Ethereum ETFs. According to data from SoSoValue, US-based Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded a combined $907.99 million in inflows last week, their best week since the products launched in July 2024. Thursday, July 10, alone was highlighted by inflows of $383.10 million, making it the largest single-day inflow for any Ethereum ETF in 2025 so far. In a post shared on the social media platform X, crypto analyst Merlijn pointed to a confirmed bull flag breakout on Ethereum’s daily candlestick timeframe chart. Interestingly, the technical setup proposed by the analyst follows a falling wedge reversal that preceded the current uptrend. According to the chart attached to his analysis, the falling wedge that led to the reversal was formed from the December 2024 highs to the April 2025 lows, with the breakout occurring in mid-May. The breakout eventually saw Ethereum entering into a tight flag-like consolidation that spanned between May and June, until the most recent breakout above $2,700. That pattern has now resolved to the upside, and the next technical level of interest is a measured move based on the price action that formed the pole of the bull flag. This measured move places the next technical level of price interest at $3,834. Image From X: Merlijn The Trader 80% Of ETH Now In Profit On-chain indicators further validate Ethereum’s current strength. According to data from on-chain analytics platform Santiment, Ethereum’s price action has been dancing around the $3,000 mark since Friday, crossing it multiple times intraday. During this back and forth, 124.13 million ETH out of the 155.04 million total supply crossed into profitability, which represents 79.96% of all tokens. This reading is particularly interesting as it is the highest percentage recorded since January 2025. Image From X: Santiment The same data shows Ethereum is just 13 million coins away from matching the total supply in profit at its previous all-time high of profitability recorded in December 2024. This shift toward a profit-heavy network state tends to encourage holding behavior and long-term conviction, which could translate into reduced sell pressure in the coming week. This, in turn, could see Ethereum close a daily candle above $3,000 and move toward the $3,834 price target during the new week. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading at $2,960, up by 17.5% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Popular market analyst with X username Daan Crypto has provided an important insight into the Ethereum market, stating the altcoin finds itself in a delicate price situation. Notably, Ethereum (ETH) prices crossed above $2,800, a critical resistance level, before briefly touching the $3,000 zone. During this period, the second-largest cryptocurrency registered market gains of 16.77% to produce a remarkable price performance. Bulls Eye $4,000 As Long-Term Range Breakout Holds In an X post on July 12, Daan Crypto explains that $2,800 has acted as a long-standing resistance capping Ethereum price action on both sides over the past two years. Following recent bullish fortune, the prominent altcoin decisively broke through this price barrier, signaling intent for further price gains. However, the price retracement from $3,000 suggests the bulls are facing immediate profit-taking pressure that may force a return below $2,800. According to Daan Crypto, while a quick price dip and buy-back up may not harm current bullish sentiments, a stalled price action under $2,800 may force ETH to revisit lower levels around $2,100-$2,160. The analyst highlights that ETH bulls maintaining a price point above $2,800 is critical to sustaining the present bullish structure, paving the way for a price return to the market cycle peak at $4,000. From a risk/reward perspective, this level now offers traders a clear invalidation point that market bulls remain in control as long as ETH stays above $2,800. Interestingly, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator on the ETH daily chart backs the potential of a sustained price uptrend. This is because the MACD line recently crossed above the signal line, which is largely interpreted as a bullish signal. However, it’s worth noting that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is valued at 71.12, in the overbought zone. This report suggests Ethereum holds strong potential of becoming an overheated market, resulting in a wide spread distribution. Ethereum Market Overview At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at $2,966 on the daily chart, reflecting a 0.11% decline in the past day. Despite the minor pullback, the asset has posted an impressive 16.53% gain over the past month, indicating that the majority of investors remain in profit. According to data from blockchain analytics firm Sentora, the Ethereum network recorded total network fees of $6.04 million, representing a modest 0.60% drop compared to the previous week. This slight decline in fees points to a small reduction in transaction activity on the network. Meanwhile, crypto exchanges registered outflows of $493 million, suggesting investors are opting to keep their assets in private wallets. Such behavior typically reflects growing confidence in the market, as users are less inclined to sell and more likely to hold in anticipation of continued price appreciation.

New West African gold explorers are advancing projects as they aim to capitalize on high prices and growing interest from mid-tier producers, SCP Resource Finance says in a new report. Published Friday, the report spotlights Turaco Gold (ASX: TCG) as a standout among emerging Africa-focused developers. Its flagship Afema project in southeast Côte d’Ivoire hosts a 3.6-million-oz. resource and could support a 200,000-oz.-per-year operation within three years, SCP says. Afema could grow to as many as 5 million oz., giving it a net present value of $1.59 billion, based on a gold price of $3,000 per ounce. “Turaco has firmly established Afema as one of the next generation of West African mine builds with potential to permit and complete the definitive feasibility study by the second half of 2026,” research head Justin Chan and his colleagues wrote. “We think Afema will be a mine.” A long-standing hotspot for gold mining, West Africa has seen more than 70 million oz. of new gold discoveries over the past 15 years — outpacing Canada, the US and Australia, according to S&P Market Intelligence data — despite significantly lower exploration spending. Key structural advantages include prolific geology, fast permitting timelines and year-round exploration access, SCP says. Turaco’s Afema is the most advanced asset. The company already holds a mining licence and has road and grid power access within 120 km of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire’s economic capital. Track record Turaco’s executive team, led by managing director Justin Tremain, has a track record of selling West African assets to major producers. SCP estimates a 10-year mine life for Afema, producing 200,000 oz. per year at an all-in sustaining cost of $1,422 per ounce. At a $3,000 gold price, the project would generate a 67% post-tax internal rate of return, SCP calculates. The report also highlights a clutch of early-stage explorers making high-grade discoveries across the region. They include Sanu Gold (TSXV: SANU) in Guinea and Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE), Awalé Resources (TSXV: ARIC), Many Peaks (ASX: MPK), Kobo Resources (TSXV: KRI) and African Gold (ASX: A1G) in Côte d’Ivoire. All are actively drilling in regions with established infrastructure and historical production. Projects that can start building in the next two-and-a-half years find themselves in what SCP calls the “sweet spot,” since nearly all Africa-focused producers “will be or are actively looking for projects within this window.” What’s more, nearly all these producers have built mines recently, “thus are not afraid of a buy and build,” SCP adds. Possible buyers Likely acquirers of the next generation of build-ready projects include producers such as Perseus Mining (ASX, TSX: PRU), Allied Gold (TSX, NYSE: AAUC), West African Resources (ASX; WAF), Montage Gold (TSX: MAU) and Robex Resources (TSX: RBX; ASX: RXR), SCP says. Montage already owns 19.9% of Sanu, while Perseus, Allied and West African Resources are seeking near-term acquisitions to replace reserves or expand beyond politically riskier jurisdictions such as Burkina Faso, the analysts wrote. Sanu is attracting attention after early drill intercepts at its Daina project in Guinea, including 51 metres at 3.1 grams gold per tonne near surface. In Côte d’Ivoire, Aurum and Many Peaks are targeting large-scale systems with multi-rig campaigns. Kobo’s flagship Kossou project, located just 6 km from Perseus’s Yaouré mine, is advancing towards an initial resource estimate following recent intercepts such as 20 metres at 1.9 grams gold. Although African gold companies can be stigmatized or avoided by some investors, “we think the opportunities are too compelling to ignore,” the SCP analysts wrote. “Africa is not easy to operate in, but the silver lining is we see very few lifestyle companies in West Africa; management teams want to make a discovery and build or get acquired as soon as possible and tend to move on quickly from subscale assets.” With gold consolidating above $3,000 per oz., risk capital available for high quality management teams and a competitive M&A environment for build-ready projects, SCP says “the window is wide open for West African gold explorers.”

Solana (SOL) has registered a 0.58% loss in the past day, representing a slight price retracement from its strong weekly performance. Notably, the altcoin gained by nearly 10% in the last seven days as general crypto prices surged, pushing its unit price into the $160 price region. Amidst the present market cool-off, Ali Martinez has tipped Solana to embark on a parabolic rally subject to a particular market condition. Solana Bulls Eye Breakout As $170 Emerges As Critical Resistance In an X post on July 12, Martinez outlines a bullish technical analysis on the Solana market, stating the altcoin is at a key price juncture. Using the weekly chart, the analyst has been able to identify a mega cup-and-handle pattern, which usually precedes a major price rally. However, the altcoin faces a critical price resistance at the $170 region. For context, the cup-and-handle pattern is a popular bullish chart formation that indicates potential for significant price upswings. As seen in the chart below, it resembles the shape of a teacup, commencing with a bearish market, followed by a price recovery of equal magnitude as seen between the start of 2022 and the start of 2025. During this period, investors saw Solana prices crash from around $250 to a cycle low of $9.88 before experiencing a gradual return to a similar peak, thereby forming the cup pattern. Thereafter, SOL has experienced significant price corrections and rebounds, eventually creating a descending price pattern that represents the handle of this formation. Notably, the cup-and-handle pattern only translates into a price surge following a decisive price breakout above the formation’s neckline. Following recent gains, Solana finds itself within touching distance of this neckline at the $170 price mark. Martinez explains that a successful weekly close above this major resistance will validate the bullish intentions on Solana, inducing a heavy market demand and paving the path for higher price territories. Based on the Fibonacci retracement and extension levels on the chart, the initial price target in the event of this breakout is set at $295, instantly matching the current all-time high. However, the historical magnitude of breakouts from cup-and-handle pattern points to lofty price targets, such as $ $787, $1,314, and a max target of $2,744. However, a rejection at $170 may force Solana to visit lower support levels near $135 or even $100, which has served as a major demand zone in the past. Solana Price Overview At the time of writing, Solana is trading at $162.58 with a decline of around 0.58% as earlier stated. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is down by 38.77% and valued at $3.72 billion.

When discussing the best gold in the world, investors and collectors often look for a combination of purity, consistency, and the reputation of the country or mint behind it. The finest gold typically comes from regions with well-established mining industries, advanced refining technology, and strict quality standards. Among the top sources, countries like Switzerland are known for their exceptional refining processes that produce gold with extremely high purity levels, often reaching 99.99 percent. However, when it comes to actual production, the global stage is led by a different set of powerhouses. In 2025, the top gold producing countries include China, which has held the lead for years due to its large-scale mining operations and government-supported industry. Russia follows closely, leveraging its vast reserves and industrial capabilities to maintain strong output. Australia is another key player, offering both quantity and high-grade gold from its well-managed mines. The United States remains a top contributor, primarily through its mines in Nevada. Other notable countries include Canada, Peru, South Africa, Ghana, Indonesia, and Uzbekistan, all of which play vital roles in the global gold supply chain. These nations vary in output but collectively shape the global pricing and availability of physical gold. For investors seeking the highest quality gold, products from recognized mints like the Royal Canadian Mint, the Perth Mint, or the United States Mint are often preferred due to their global recognition and liquidity. Ultimately, the best gold is not just about where it is found but how it is processed, certified, and presented to the market, making both production and refining standards essential factors to consider. Gold has been considered a valuable commodity for centuries for its beauty and durability and its role as a hedge against inflation and a store of wealth. As a result, gold has become an essential part of many national economies, with some countries being major producers of this precious metal. However, not all gold is created equal, with some countries producing gold that is considered higher quality than others. This article will explore the best gold in the world and the top 10 gold-producing countries. Is the gold price the same in all countries? The price of gold is determined by its demand and supply in the market, and it varies from country to country. The London Gold Fixing sets the global gold price, which is a process that takes place twice a day and involves representatives from major banks. This price is used as a benchmark for gold trading worldwide. However, the price of gold in a particular country can be affected by various factors such as the local currency exchange rate, taxes, import duties, and local demand. Countries with High-Purity Gold Gold purity is measured in karats, with 24-karat gold being the purest form. Pure gold is too soft for use in jewelry, so it is often alloyed with other metals to increase its durability. However, some countries are known for producing gold with a high purity level, making it more valuable. Canada:One of the largest gold-producing countries in the world, and its gold is known for its high purity. The gold produced in Canada is usually between 18 and 24 karat, with some mines producing gold that is 99.999% pure.

When it comes to jewelry, the purity of gold used can vary depending on the desired color and durability of the piece. 24-karat gold is too soft for most jewelry applications, so it is often alloyed with other metals to make it more durable. The most commonly used alloys are 18-karat and 14-karat gold. 18-karat gold contains 75% gold and 25% other metals, which gives it a bright, warm color and makes it more durable than 24-karat gold. As a result, it is a popular choice for engagement rings and other fine jewelry. 14-karat gold contains 58.5% gold and 41.5% other metals, which makes it more durable than 18-karat gold. It has a slightly lighter color than 18-karat gold and is a popular choice for everyday jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. In addition to karate, the color of gold used in jewelry can also vary. Yellow gold is the most traditional choice and is created by alloying pure gold with copper and silver. White gold is created by alloying pure gold with palladium or nickel and is a popular choice for engagement rings and wedding bands. Rose gold, which has a pinkish hue, is created by alloying pure gold with copper. When buying gold jewelry, it is essential to ensure that it is genuine and not a counterfeit. Look for markings on the piece indicating its karatage, and also consider purchasing from a reputable jeweler. Conclusion Gold is a precious and sought-after metal used for thousands of years for currency, jewelry, and investment purposes. While the price of gold may vary depending on location, the purity and quality of gold produced in various countries can also vary. Countries such as Switzerland, Australia, and Canada are known for producing high-purity gold, while countries such as China and Russia are the largest producers of gold in the world. When it comes to jewelry, the purity and color of gold used can vary depending on the desired durability and aesthetic. Investing in pure gold coins or gold bullion can be a smart way to diversify your investment portfolio while buying gold jewelry can provide a beautiful and lasting heirloom. Regardless of your interest in gold, it is essential to ensure that any gold you purchase is genuine and high-quality.

Over the last month, Bitcoin ranged within the $100,000 — $110,000 price region until its recent breakout to reach a new all-time high. On-chain data show that a shift in BTC holder behavior may have played a significant role in the flagship cryptocurrency’s recent price action. LTHs Begin Distributing, But STHs Accumulate In a July 12 post on the X platform, on-chain analyst Boris explained how a shift in Bitcoin holder activity has affected the market over the past months. This explanation was based on indicators measuring the Accumulation Vs Distribution of Long-Term Holders (LTH) and Short-Term Holders (STH). For these two holder categories, the metric tracks and analyzes wallet behavior to determine whether they are increasing or decreasing their Bitcoin holdings over time. Related Reading: Bitcoin Breaks Records: What Miners and Leverage Traders Are Doing Behind the Scenes For the long-term holders, the chart above shows how accumulation grew from the later days of May to the end of June. This is represented by the growing green graphs over the red. Within the same timeframe, the chart below shows short-term holders were represented more by the red graphs than the green, indicating more distribution than accumulation in the past month. Boris credited the LTHs for Bitcoin’s survival above the $100,000 support zone. “Despite heavy STH distribution and retail selling pressure, BTC defended the 100K support — a clear sign of structural accumulation led by LTH wallets,” the on-chain analyst said. According to Boris, the short-term holders were observed to have sold more than 563,000 BTC as Bitcoin continued to range. As this happened, the Long-Term holders steadily accumulated Bitcoin, and this absorbed most of the selling pressure from STHs. However, this dynamic seems to have reversed very recently. The online pundit reported that the Long-Term Holders started distributing their Bitcoin holdings. This sell-off from the LTHs may be a result of profit-taking, as the cryptocurrency’s upward drift would necessitate. On the other hand, the short-term holders have started to accumulate Bitcoin. This trend seen with this reactive group of investors indicates renewed retail interest or speculative entry amidst the current bullish rally. Boris further inferred that this handover from LTH support to STH support must have fuelled Bitcoin’s latest breakout, as short-term momentum is injected into the market. What’s Next For Bitcoin? While this rotation of supply between holder classes may not be strange in crypto market cycles, the scale and timing of this switch suggest that Bitcoin’s price action holds more interesting rallies in the near future. However, if the short-term buying pressure should taper, the absence of long-term support may cause a lower support to be retested. As of this writing, Bitcoin is valued at $117,300, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours.

XRP is back in the spotlight after a sudden pop in price. At press time, the token traded at $2.80, up 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Earlier today, it even hit $2.90 before easing back. Traders haven’t seen XRP at these levels since the first week of March, and chatter is growing across trading desks and social channels. Market Data: Last Week’s Rally Tops 25% XRP’s weekly gains now stand around 23%, giving long‑time holders a welcome lift. Bitcoin’s break above $118,800—and its steady hold near $118,000—has opened space for altcoins to shine. Still, only 28 out of the top 100 non‑stablecoin tokens have outpaced Bitcoin over the past 90 days, keeping the Altcoin Season Index at just 28/100. That tells us this isn’t a full‑blown altcoin boom yet, but XRP has broken out anyway. XRP Finds Path To $4 Based on reports, crypto educator Edoardo Farina tweeted that seeing XRP north of $4 “as early as this week” wouldn’t be a shock. Pushing past $4 would mean a 50% jump from current levels and clear the old all‑time high of $3.85 set in January 2018. Such a move could come in a fast burst rather than a slow grind, driven by sudden FOMO among buyers chasing new peaks. Ripple Partnerships And ETF Push Ripple has been busy on the partnership front. In early July, the company teamed up with BNY Mellon to custody its RLUSD stablecoin, the 8th‑largest stablecoin by market cap, aiming to draw in big institutions. Meanwhile, futures‑based XRP ETFs from ProShares and others launched in July, and more than 10 spot‑XRP ETF applications are now under SEC review. Any green light on a spot ETF could send demand—and price—higher. XRP Price Prediction According to the latest price prediction, XRP is expected to slip by 0.62% and reach $2.75 by August 12, 2025. Technical indicators still lean bullish, and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). Over the last 30 days, XRP posted 18/30 green days with 6.88% price swings, data from CoinCodex shows. Regulatory Risks And Next Steps Even with positive signs, XRP faces hurdles. The SEC hasn’t approved any altcoin ETFs yet, and updates in Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit could trigger fresh volatility. Traders should watch headline risks closely. For now, gains have been impressive, and the coin’s four‑month high hints at more action ahead. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Africa crypto news in review: Roqqu expands to Kenya as South Africa cracks down on scams. Ghana to clarify on VASP registration. Nigerian exchange Roquu has acquired a Kenyan startup as it eyes the East African market. Meanwhile, South African regulators are stepping up their efforts to combat fraud in the online crypto space. In Ghana, the Central Bank is finally set to issue directives on registration for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). Clarity will only encourage more businesses to set up shop, allowing users to get exposure in the next 1000X cryptos. Let’s take a brief look at these continental headlines below: Kenya Crypto News: Nigerian Exchange Acquires Kenyan Startup Nigerian crypto exchange Roqqu has acquired Kenyan startup Flitaa as it eyes growth in the East African market. Flitaa launched in 2019 and operates in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Ghana. Roqqu acquired the startup to become a truly pan-African platform, boosting the number of people investing in some of the best cryptos to buy. The East African market is fertile ground for the Nigerian entity. Kenya and Uganda are also anglophone countries, with supporting regulatory frameworks for external investors. Kenya’s move to enact the Virtual Assets Providers Bill will clarify the market for external investors looking to enter. Roquu has made an early bet on this growth, hoping to become a notable player in these markets. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 South Africa Crypto News: Regulators Crack Down on Online Scams The financial market regulator in South Africa, the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), has announced that it will spend 200 million Rand over the next 18 months to combat online scams. This move comes amid South Africa’s general reckoning and need to modernize its financial sector regulation. Unfortunately, crypto is a component of the scam blueprint. South Africa has had several infamous cases, such as the disappearance of about 70,000 BTC from a platform called Africrypt in 2021. The investment in cracking down on online scams can be positive for the crypto sector, which has struggled with the proliferation of such entities. Ghana Crypto News: Central Bank Issues Directives On Registration After months of hinting at new regulations, the Central Bank of Ghana has issued a directive for all virtual asset service providers to register by August 15. The Central Bank is issuing the directive to comply with international trends on disclosure and regulation of crypto exchanges. For years, Ghana had little regulation of the crypto sector. However, the growing usage in the local market and pressure from international entities have resulted in this update. Crypto stakeholders will look to comply with this deadline to continue operations in this market.

After going on an impressive run to close the week, the Bitcoin price has become relatively steady over this weekend. The premier cryptocurrency has shown some signs of indecision and continued to move sideways within the $117,000 and $118,000 range. According to a prominent online pundit, the Bitcoin price might be at a critical juncture that could decide its future over the next few weeks. Insights from a technical analysis model suggest that the price of BTC might run up to an unprecedented high of $143,000 once it overcomes the next resistance level. BTC Needs To Break This Resistance Level To Continue Rally In a July 12 post on social media platform X, Alphractal founder & CEO Joao Wedson revealed that the Bitcoin price faces significant resistance between $118,900 and $120,000. This price evaluation is based on the Bitcoin Power Law model, which provides a mathematical description of BTC’s historical price trends. The Bitcoin Power Law model estimates the network effect and adoption curve without speculation. Using this framework, the pricing model provides long-term support and resistance levels or “bands” on the Bitcoin price chart. Wedson revealed that the Power Law model indicates that the Bitcoin price faces significant resistance between the $118,900 and $120,000 region. According to the on-chain analyst, the market needs to breach the Alpha Price — which lies somewhere around $119,300. For context, the Alpha Price refers to a major inflection point in the Power Law model and a level that the Bitcoin price needs to break and stay above to enter the next significant phase of the bull cycle. In essence, the BTC price must witness a sustained break above $119,300 to continue its rally. Wedson mentioned that the price of BTC will need to show resilience in order to breach the psychological $120,000 level. However, it might need to consolidate first and perhaps take some long traders out of the market before overcoming the $120,000 level, the on-chain analyst noted. According to Wedson, a sustained breach of the $120,000 level will signal the beginning of an even much bigger rally for the market leader. The on-chain analyst put the target for this rally at between $143,000 and $146,000, marking the Bitcoin price top in this cycle. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $117,530, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, the flagship cryptocurrency is up by nearly 9% on the weekly timeframe.

Bitcoin is testing uncharted territory after breaking past its previous all-time high of $112,000 last Thursday, igniting a powerful new phase in the bull market. With the price currently hovering above $117,000, bulls are firmly in control as optimism spreads across the crypto market. The breakout comes after weeks of tight consolidation, signaling renewed confidence among investors and traders. On-chain data from CryptoQuant adds further support to the bullish narrative. The Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric—used to assess whether long-term holders are selling—has returned to a relatively low average despite the rise in price. This suggests that experienced holders are not offloading their positions, but instead continuing to hold through the rally. With long-term holders largely inactive and momentum accelerating, Bitcoin appears to be entering a decisive phase. As macroeconomic conditions remain favorable for risk assets, and with institutional demand rising, all eyes are now on how BTC behaves at these new highs—and whether the rest of the crypto market will follow its lead. Bitcoin Prepares For A Massive Surge Bitcoin continues to trade above key psychological and technical levels, signaling that the market is entering an expansion phase with the potential for a massive surge. After clearing its previous all-time high and consolidating around $117,000, Bitcoin’s structure looks increasingly bullish. Analysts and traders are closely watching on-chain indicators to confirm whether long-term holders are beginning to exit, but so far, the data suggests they are not. Top analyst Darkfost shared relevant insights regarding the Coin Days Destroyed (CDD) metric, a key tool used to assess long-term holder activity. CDD calculates how long a Bitcoin stays unmoved before a transfer, revealing long-term participants’ behavior. Recently, the metric saw a sharp spike, raising initial concerns about possible distribution. However, it was later confirmed that the move involved 80,000 BTC in an internal transfer — no actual selling occurred. Since that event, the CDD has returned to its previous low range, especially when compared to Bitcoin’s soaring price. This signals that long-term holders are still sitting tight, showing no urgency to sell into strength. Their conviction reflects growing expectations of higher prices ahead, supported by macro conditions, increasing adoption, and rising institutional interest. With strong hands holding firm and momentum building, Bitcoin appears poised for continuation. As long as key support levels are maintained and long-term holders remain inactive, the setup favors an explosive move that could redefine price discovery in this cycle. Price Discovery Kicks In: Momentum Accelerates Bitcoin’s three‑day chart shows a textbook breakout from eight weeks of compression. Thursday’s candle closed firmly above the former record cluster at $109,300, opening the door for a vertical push that carried price to $118,800 on the very next print. The candle body towers well above the 50‑period SMA, while the 100‑ and 200‑period averages slope higher beneath, confirming a bullish long‑term structure. The old resistance band between $105,000 and $109,300 now flips into first demand; any orderly retest that wicks into that zone would likely attract sidelined buyers. Below it, $103,600—the mid‑range support that capped drawdowns all spring—remains the line in the sand for the current trend. Upside projections derive from the height of the year‑long range (~$15 k). Adding that measure to the breakout point targets $124–125 k as the next logical objective, with the psychological $120 k round number a potential interim stall area. Momentum oscillators on medium time‑frames are stretched but not at extreme levels, suggesting room for continuation before a cooling period becomes necessary.

📉 Ouro Pode Perder Força no Médio Prazo, Alerta o World Gold Council Por Igor Pereira – Analista de Mercado Financeiro e Membro Junior WallStreet NYSE Em novo relatório publicado hoje, o World Gold Council (WGC) aponta que o ouro pode enfrentar pressão baixista no médio prazo, caso o ambiente geopolítico e comercial global comece a se estabilizar. A possível redução dos riscos globais, somada a um enfraquecimento da demanda por parte dos bancos centrais e investidores de varejo, pode desencadear uma correção nos preços do metal precioso. 🧭 Geopolítica Menos Tensa Pode Reduzir Demanda por Refúgios Segundo o estudo, o preço do ouro tem sido amplamente sustentado por fatores de risco sistêmico — como tensões militares, guerras tarifárias, crises monetárias e polarização política global. No entanto, se esses vetores de instabilidade forem amenizados nos próximos trimestres, o ouro pode perder seu apelo como porto seguro. 📉 Demanda Institucional e Varejista em Queda? Outro ponto de atenção está na demanda física e financeira por ouro. O World Gold Council observa: Compras por bancos centrais desaceleraram no segundo trimestre de 2025, após recordes consecutivos desde 2022; Investidores de varejo têm buscado maior exposição a renda fixa, criptoativos e ações em setores de tecnologia e IA; A redução na emissão de novos ETFs lastreados em ouro e o menor fluxo para os contratos da Comex indicam perda momentânea de tração institucional. Esses elementos juntos podem pressionar o ouro a níveis mais baixos — especialmente se não houver novos choques externos ou aceleração inflacionária nos EUA e Europa. 🔍 O Que Esperar no Mercado de Ouro (XAU/USD) 1. Cenário Técnico Atual O XAU/USD segue lateralizado entre US$ 3.200 e US$ 3.400, com resistência no topo histórico e suporte em médias móveis de 50 e 100 períodos. 2. Fatores de Pressão no Médio Prazo Redução no risco global → Menor busca por proteção; Dólar americano fortalecido → Competição direta com o ouro; Juros altos persistentes → Aumento da atratividade dos Treasuries. 3. Riscos de Alta Apesar da perspectiva de correção, o mercado segue atento a: Escalada militar no Oriente Médio ou Sudeste Asiático; Deterioração fiscal nos EUA e ameaça à confiança nos Treasuries; Retomada de compras por bancos centrais de mercados emergentes. 🎯 Conclusão do Analista A possível queda na demanda institucional e no risco global representa uma ameaça técnica ao XAU/USD no médio prazo. Se confirmada, a correção pode levar o metal para níveis mais baixos — com destaque para o suporte em US$ 3.180 a US$ 3.200, região que funcionaria como base de reavaliação estrutural.

Pump.fun, the Solana-based platform enabling users to easily launch and trade custom tokens—especially meme coins—has just marked a historic milestone. On Saturday, Pump.fun raised over $500 million during its highly anticipated PUMP token public sale. In an astonishing show of demand, the sale sold out in only 12 minutes, highlighting the project’s explosive growth and rising popularity across the crypto space. Designed for accessibility, Pump.fun allows virtually anyone to create tradable tokens with little to no technical background, democratizing the meme coin economy. As the broader crypto market gains momentum, investors are increasingly turning to innovative platforms like Pump.fun to capture early-stage upside and participate in speculative narratives. With the public sale now closed, the PUMP token is entering its distribution phase. The community’s overwhelming enthusiasm for the project underscores a renewed appetite for high-risk, high-reward opportunities, especially on scalable, low-cost ecosystems like Solana. As liquidity rotates and meme narratives strengthen, Pump.fun appears poised to ride the next wave of speculative fervor. The question now is how the project will evolve post-sale, and whether it can sustain attention in an increasingly competitive memecoin landscape. Pump.fun Enters Distribution Phase After $4 Billion Valuation Following a record-breaking public sale, Pump.fun is now entering its next crucial phase. The Solana-based platform successfully sold 125 billion PUMP tokens at a fixed price of $0.004 each, pushing the project to a staggering $4 billion valuation. In just 12 minutes, the token sale closed, signaling overwhelming interest from both retail investors and speculators eager to participate in the next wave of memecoin mania. Over the next 48 to 72 hours, the PUMP tokens purchased via token.pump.fun will be distributed to all participants. During this period, the tokens will remain untradable and untransferable to ensure a secure and orderly allocation process. The team has stated that a formal announcement will be made once the distribution is complete and trading becomes active. Pump.fun has gained traction for allowing users to mint and list custom tokens with just a few clicks. Once a newly created token reaches a certain liquidity or trading threshold, it gets automatically listed on decentralized exchanges. This enables price discovery and broader exposure. This simplicity has fueled Pump.fun’s meteoric rise, attracting thousands of users who see it as a launchpad for the next viral asset. However, the coming weeks will be a critical test. As the PUMP token becomes tradable, investor behavior, price volatility, and platform growth will determine whether this momentum turns into lasting adoption or fades as just another memecoin moment. With a multi-billion-dollar valuation already on the books, the pressure is on for Pump.fun to deliver. Altcoin Market Gathers Momentum The TOTAL3 chart, which tracks the total crypto market cap excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, has surged to $918.87 billion, gaining nearly 9% on the week. This move signals growing investor confidence in altcoins, supported by a bullish market structure. Price bounced from the 50-week moving average and now aims to break above the $1 trillion resistance zone. A level that has rejected multiple rallies in 2025. Momentum indicators are turning bullish, with the 50, 100, and 200 weekly moving averages aligning in an upward slope. Volume is also increasing after weeks of stagnation, reflecting renewed market participation and capital rotation into high-beta altcoins. Interestingly, the rise of projects like Pump.fun—which recently raised millions during its PUMP token sale—mirrors this trend. Platforms enabling quick meme coin launches are attracting retail liquidity. And that speculative energy is often a precursor to broader altcoin market rallies. While TOTAL3 remains below its 2024 highs, the ongoing wave of investor enthusiasm, especially in niche segments like Pump.fun, suggests a breakout could soon materialize.

The Cardano price has witnessed an exhilarating run over the past few days, experiencing a significant breakout from consolidation beneath the $0.6 level. Before its recent price surge, the altcoin had been moving mostly sideways within the $0.5 and $0.6 range. Interestingly, the Cardano price seems to just be at the beginning of what is expected to be a monstrous rally over the next few months. A crypto expert on the social media platform X has come forward with an exciting pathway to unprecedented price highs for the ADA token. ADA In Distribution Phase — Perfect Buying Opportunity? In a July 11 post on X, Alphractal founder & CEO Joao Wedson shared an exciting bullish picture for the Cardano price over the coming months. The on-chain expert put forward the $4.9 mark as the market top for the ADA token in the next leg up. This bold projection is based on a persistent ascending channel pattern on the daily Cardano price chart. An ascending channel is a chart pattern in technical analysis characterized by two major (rising) trendlines: the upper line acting as the resistance level and the lower line acting as the support level. Typically, the gap between these trendlines is considered a channel within which prices move over a period—while indicating a sustained long-term bullish trend. Traders often use this pattern to identify optimal entry and exit points, as the price usually bounces off the upper resistance level and lower support trendline. As observed in the above chart, the Cardano price has been trading within the ascending channel since the first half of 2019. After falling to the lower trendline earlier this year, the price of ADA soon found support and rebounded to above the $1 level in 2025’s first quarter. However, the altcoin — as with the rest of the crypto market — witnessed a severe downturn that saw the Cardano price return to the lower trendline in late June. Interestingly, the token’s price seems to have found support and is recovering nicely. Wedson, in his post on X, revealed that what the Cardano price is experiencing is more than a mere recovery, as the altcoin might surpass its current all-time high of $3.09 in this phase. According to the on-chain analyst, the ADA token could be trading well above the $3 mark by late October or early November 2025. Furthermore, Wedson noted that the current level might be the right time for investors to jump into the ADA token, as it is still in the distribution phase in the short term. “This might break some technical analysis patterns, but the on-chain analysis looks promising in several aspects — and that’s what I like,” the analyst concluded. Cardano Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of ADA stands at around $0.7124, reflecting an almost 6% in the past 24 hours. This positive single-day action underscores the general bullishness that the altcoin has witnessed in the past few days. According to data from CoinGecko, the ADA coin is up by roughly 30% in the last seven days.

After a near-excellent start to the month of July, Bitcoin has performed even more impressively over the past few days. The premier cryptocurrency, after a brief period of sideways momentum earlier this week, has attained a new all-time-high valuation at a price close to $119,000. Unsurprisingly, the Bitcoin market is experiencing a wave of optimism — an inference still heavily backed by the latest on-chain revelation. Bitcoin Market Sentiment Shifts Bullish In a July 11 post on social media platform X, cryptocurrency analytics firm Alphractal delved into the current price action of Bitcoin, offering insights into the cryptocurrency’s future trajectory. The firm’s on-chain observation revolves around the Aggregated Liquidation Levels Heatmap (7 Days) metric, which visualizes price zones with high concentrations of long or short liquidations over a span of 7 days, and the Aggregated Liquidation Levels Heatmap (1 month) which does the same, except that this covers a monthly timeframe. After the most recent Bitcoin price rally to a new all-time high, all of the overleveraged bears had their market positions wiped out. Aided by the short squeeze, which usually follows such large liquidation events, the flagship cryptocurrency still retains its strong bullish momentum and continues to surge. According to Alphractal, the aggregation liquidation levels across different timeframes now show that most current leveraged positions are betting on the Bitcoin price. As the market continues to ascend the charts, investor optimism will turn more positive, which may further push more traders to open long positions in the BTC futures market. However, Alphractal warned against the inclination to be recklessly involved in the current bullish market. “If, for any reason, the price drops $10,000 back to the $107,000 zone, it could be the bulls’ turn to face massive liquidations,” the analytics firm said. The firm went further, explaining that a Bitcoin price drop of that magnitude would have a negative impact on the market optimism. On the bright side, Alphractal also mentioned that such an occurrence could offer new accumulation opportunities in the near future. Still on market optimism, a drop in Bitcoin’s value by $10,000 might lead to a phenomenon referred to as a Long squeeze, where the price of Bitcoin continues to plummet with increased momentum. A long squeeze typically occurs when the falling price of a cryptocurrency (in this case, Bitcoin) forces traders with long positions to sell their assets either to cut losses or to break even. This contributes to the already present bearish momentum and sends the BTC price further south. Amidst Bitcoin’s current rally, Alphractal ultimately advised that traders leverage wisely and with caution, as the market’s next action stands at an unpredictable zone. Bitcoin Price At A Glance Still showing signs of healthy bullish momentum, Bitcoin, as of press time, is valued at around $118,145. Data from CoinGecko shows that the flagship cryptocurrency has jumped by more than 3.34% in the last 24 hours.

Tether’s latest move aims to streamline its stablecoin operations. The company plans to end USDT redemptions and token issuance on five older blockchains by September 1, 2025. Any tokens left on Omni Layer, Bitcoin Cash SLP, Kusama, EOS and Algorand will become frozen after that date. Focus Shifts Away From Legacy Chains Based on reports from Tether, these five networks once helped drive its early growth. But current data shows a big drop in USDT activity there. Usage has been mostly flat for months. And with few new transactions, keeping those chains alive no longer makes sense. The decision follows a careful infrastructure audit. Teams looked at chains with low usage and slow growth. They found that less than 0.1% of Tether’s total supply moves on those networks. Every dollar spent maintaining them now offers little benefit. Embracing Fast, Scalable Networks According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, Tether will put more energy into chains that can grow quickly. He pointed to real‑time scaling solutions and rising adoption as key factors. The company plans to boost support for Layer 2 systems such as the Lightning Network. It also wants to explore partnerships with newer blockchains that offer low fees and better interoperability. Experts agree with Tether’s approach. Kevin Mehrabi of StableTech said networks with weak developer traction tend to stall. And once growth stops, token circulation follows. By focusing on blockchains with active builders, Tether hopes USDT will see more real use in DeFi, micro‑payments and cross‑border transfers. What Token Holders Should Do Now Holders of USDT on the affected chains must act before the September 1, 2025 cutoff. Official Tether services will let existing clients reissue their tokens on supported networks. Other users can rely on third‑party bridges or custodians, depending on each provider’s policy. If nobody moves their coins in time, those balances will be frozen—completely inaccessible. By reallocating technical and operational resources, Tether aims to improve transaction speeds and cut costs. The company’s long‑term plan is to back ecosystems that show real growth and practical use cases. For users, the key takeaway is clear: move your USDT off those legacy rails now, or risk losing access later. Featured image from Vecteezy, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin has rallied massively over the past seven days by posting an impressive price gain of nearly 9% after climbing from around $108,300 to almost $118,800. This move was quite surprising, particularly as the process saw Bitcoin clearing its previous all-time high from late May by breaking above $111,970. But according to Bitcoin technical analyst CryptoCon, this breakout may just be the beginning. In a recent post on the social media platform X, CryptoCon revealed a long-term cycle pattern that points to a more ambitious price target for Bitcoin. Analyst Unveils BTC’s Golden Number For This Cycle In a recent post on social media platform X, CryptoCon revealed a long-term cycle pattern that points to a more ambitious target for Bitcoin. His analysis is based on the 5.618 Fibonacci extension, which is a number he says has perfectly aligned with every prior cycle top. The projection opens up the possibility of whether Bitcoin’s current move marks the start of another parabolic run. CryptoCon’s technical chart analysis builds on the recurring 5.618 Fibonacci extension level in previous market cycles. The analyst shows how Bitcoin’s previous tops have fallen within striking distance of this precise extension by measuring the move of each market cycle and applying this golden ratio. The chart shown below features the $30.84 peak in June 2011, the $1,205 top in November 2013, the $18,702 high from December 2017, and the peak of $63,839 in November 2021. Each of these market tops, as shown in the Bitcoin multi-year price chart below, converged on the same 5.618 multiple from their preceding bear market lows. Now, using this same approach in the ongoing cycle, CryptoCon projected that the next major step for Bitcoin is somewhere between $170,000 and $180,000. Particularly, the 5.618 Fibonacci extension points to a “Golden Number” of $184,181 for Bitcoin’s price in this cycle. Bitcoin Price Compression Is About To Expand Violently Several major forces appear to have contributed to BTC’s recent surge in the past 48 hours. A significant short squeeze earlier in the week reportedly wiped out over $1 billion in bearish positions. At the same time, US-based Spot Bitcoin ETFs registered over $1 billion in daily inflows in the past two consecutive days. In his X post, CryptoCon also commented on the current state of Bitcoin’s chart: “All the boring price action is coming to a squeeze; it can’t stay that way forever.” This observation reflects the long period of tight, sideways trading between $105,000 and $108,000 that Bitcoin experienced in the previous two weeks. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $117,762, retracing slightly after reaching its most recent all-time high of $118,667, according to CoinGecko data. Other crypto analysts now find themselves watching the $130,000 region as another zone of consolidation activity on the way to the possible cycle peak.

The Pi Network coin dipped to $0.46 today, slipping 6% in the past 24 hours. Yet trading volume jumped to $20 million, up 80% over the same period. That mix of a price drop and a big volume rise often points to traders testing the waters rather than rushing in or out. Pi Network Volume Spike Signals Fresh Interest According to on-chain data, weekly gains of 1.1% suggest renewed curiosity around the Pi Network token. Its recent push past $0.48 may have drawn eyes back to the network. A big swell in transfers shows people shifting coins more than usual, even if the price isn’t following the same upward path. In the past few days, two separate moves of exactly 3.14 Pi have caught attention. Those small transfers tie back to the project’s namesake, the number π. Based on reports, these sent-outs came from a single wallet—labeled GASWBD…—which also withdrew over 10 million Pi in just six days. That same address links to about 320 million Pi in earlier activity, leading many to wonder if a big miner, an institutional backer, or someone from the Pi team is behind it. Symbolic Transactions Stir Speculation The timing of these 3.14 moves matters. They arrived just as the price flirted with the psychological $0.48 mark. Some community members see the transfers as a rallying call, a nod back to Pi’s roots. Traders, though, tend to watch those numbers for clues of real buying or selling pressure. So far, the pattern looks more like a planned message than a panic sell‑off. Talk of a mainnet rollout or fresh exchange pairings has spread across forums. People point to the organized nature of the withdrawals as proof that bigger plans are underway. They hint that big news might be on the way—maybe new partners or additions that bring Pi out of its test network and into mainline usability. Forecast: Caution Ahead According to current forecasts, the value of Pi could decrease to $ 0.35 by August 11, 2025, a decline of 25%. Technical indicators are showing Bearish, and the Fear & Greed Index for the market is at 79 (Extreme Greed). Pi experienced 11 green days in the past 30 (37%) and recorded 9% price fluctuation over that time. That breakdown between high excitement and bearish direction is a picture of conflicting indicators for anyone considering getting on board now. So far, Pi Network is a project generating hope and skepticism. The $208 million volume increase indicates that people are indeed taking notice. But the prediction and on-chain activity suggest caution may be advisable until stronger milestones emerge. Featured image from Jeffrey Coolidge/Getty Images, chart from TradingView

In the past week, Bitcoin has grabbed the major headlines as prices surge to a new all-time high of $118,856 following a market gain of 9.77%. In remarkable fashion, the premier cryptocurrency added an estimated $10,000 to its market value increasing its market cap to a solid $2.34 trillion. Interestingly, recent on-chain data suggest there may be more tailwind ahead backing Bitcoin’s ability to explore new price territory. STH SOPR Sits At 1.02, Suggests Market Not Overheating In a recent quicktake post on CryptoQuant, a market analyst with username CryptoMe has shared some compelling insights on Bitcoin’s price trajectory amidst current market euphoria. As earlier stated, the flagship cryptocurrency experienced a significant price gain to brush nearly against the $120,000 mark. Despite this rise, CryptoMe notes that short-term holders’ spent output profit ratio (STH SOPR) indicates that this class of investors are yet to engage in significant profit-taking. For context, The STH-SOPR measures the ratio of realized profits or losses by investors who’ve held BTC for less than 155 days. A STH-SOPR reading above 1.0 indicates that BTC are being sold at a profit, while values below 1.0 indicate losses. Based on the chart below, sharp increases in this on-chain metric especially into the 1.05-1.20+ range (red zone) have correlated with profit-taking phases and can often precede local tops. However, the STH-SOPR currently sits at 1.02, suggesting that although some short-term holders are in profit, no aggressive market distribution has commenced. This development is particularly bullish considering the STH realized price is presently at $100,000 indicating these investors are 17%-18% in profit and are opting to hold for further price gains. Meanwhile, the analyst notes that this present on-chain situation aligns with the broader sentiment in the derivatives market. Open Interest is climbing, signaling growing participation, but funding rates remain neutral to slightly positive. This lack of extreme funding imbalances suggests that traders are not flooding the market with overleveraged long positions due to FOMO. CryptoMe explains that all these factors indicate the Bitcoin market is far from overheating and there is still potential for more growth ahead. BTC Price Overview At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $117,840 indicating a 3.40% in the past day but a slight 0.82% decline from the present all-time high. Meanwhile, the asset’s daily trading volume is up by 96.53% indicating a strong market activity behind the ongoing rally backing the potential for a continuation.

Crypto analyst TradingShot has drawn attention to a bullish pattern for Dogecoin, indicating that a significant price surge is on the horizon. The analyst suggested that this could be the final leg up for the foremost meme coin and advised market participants not to miss it. Dogecoin Eyes Parabolic Rally With Megaphone Pattern In a TradingView post, TradingShot predicted that Dogecoin could rally to as high as $1.25. He noted that the meme coin has been trading in a bullish Megaphone pattern within a channel up. The analyst added that the recent rebound on June 16 on the weekly MA200 is a higher low at the bottom of both patterns. With the 1-week Relative Strength Index (RSI) also rebounding on its long-term support zone, TradingShot declared that Dogecoin is most likely at the start of a new bullish leg. He noted that this could be the final rally that will shape this cycle’s top. Meanwhile, the analyst claimed that DOGE is targeting $1.25 because the previous two bullish legs peaked on the 3.618 Fibonacci extension of the last decline. He told market participants that they can settle for $0.8 if they wish to pursue a target within the Channel up. A rally to both $0.8 and $1.25 would mark new all-time highs (ATHs) for Dogecoin, whose current ATH is at $0.73. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could reach these targets in the first half of next year. Dogecoin is expected to maintain a steady climb from now till then as it reaches those targets. The meme coin has already begun another uptrend following Bitcoin’s rally to a new ATH. DOGE has again reclaimed the $ 0.20 psychological price level and could potentially reach its last local high at around $0.26. DOGE Against Its Bitcoin Pair In an X post, crypto analyst Kevin Capital stated that the DOGE/BTC chart is sitting in a historical zone of support with the monthly time frame indicators fully reset. The analyst indicated that this was possibly the best setup for Dogecoin, one that could spark a massive run for the meme coin. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade stated that the Dogecoin-to-Bitcoin chart might show a God candle this month. This God candle could spark a DOGE season, when the meme coin is expected to outperform the flagship crypto. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rally to as high as $9 during this period. Meanwhile, he highlighted the $0.2 support level as being crucial for this lift-off for the meme coin. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.2, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Using the most recent Caixin June PMIs as a proxy, the commentary suggested, “According to panellists, better trade conditions and promotional activities supported a fresh rise in new orders. The rate of new order growth was only marginal, however, as external demand remained muted. New export orders declined for the third month in a row in June, albeit at a noticeably weaker pace than in May. However, the commentary added, “supply chain conditions continued to deteriorate at the end of the second quarter, as Chinese manufacturers experienced delivery delays again in June.” Analysts at ING expected a modest uptick in export and import growth, suggesting that “Early signs are that there isnʼt much trade frontloading activity during the tariff ceasefire period so far.” Newsquawk Week Ahead: Highlights 14-18th July 2025 CHINESE GDP/RETAIL SALES/HOUSE PRICES (TUE): The focus will be on Chinaʼs Q2 GDP, with the latest Reuters poll forecasting Q2 Y/Y growth at 5.1% (vs 5.4% in Q1) and Q/Q at 0.9% (vs 1.2% in Q1). The YTD Y/Y rate is seen at 5.6% (prev. 5.8%). The poll also forecast 2025 GDP growth at 4.6% vs Chinaʼs target of “around 5%”. Analysts note that while headline growth is likely to hit the 5% annual target, concerns persist around underlying domestic demand, employment, and deflationary pressures. ING highlights that ecent hard data has been mixed, with retail sales surprising to the upside but industrial production and investment softening. On housing, two straight months of notable price declines have raised speculation about potential real estate stimulus, with markets watching the housing price release for further signs of a downturn. Note, on July 10th, the gauge of Chinese property shares posted the largest gain in nine months amid speculation that a high-level meeting will be held next week to help revive the property sector, according to Bloomberg. SCMP flags that rising external uncertainties—especially new US tariffs—could prompt calls for more proactive fiscal policy. Still, economists suggest that Beijing is unlikely to deploy major stimulus unless export growth slows more sharply, as policymakers appear focused on meeting but not exceeding the 5% target, according to the article. In terms of monetary policy forecasts, the aforementioned Reuters poll also suggested that the PBoC is expected to cut 1yr LPR by 10bps in Q4, and RRR is expected to be cut by 10bps in Q4. Newsquawk Week Ahead: Highlights 14-18th July 2025 CANADIAN CPI (TUE): With the BoC on pause and avoiding forward guidance, the central bank is taking it meeting-by-meeting due to economic uncertainty. The upcoming inflation report will help shape expectations for BoC easing. Money markets are only pricing in one further rate cut by the end of the year. The prior BoC statement in June highlighted how, excluding taxes, inflation was slightly stronger than the BoC expected, while the BoC’s preferred measures moved up. It also highlighted that “recent surveys indicate that households continue to expect that tariffs will raise prices and many businesses say they intend to pass on the costs of higher tariffs”. The next BoC meeting is on July 30th, and the guidance from the BoC noted they “will continue to assess the timing and strength of both the downward pressures on inflation from a weaker economy and the upward pressures on inflation from higher costs”, adding it is proceeding carefully. Meanwhile, in a recent speech, Macklem warned that “underlying inflation could be firmer than we thought”. However, if inflation pressures were contained, the BoC agreed there could be a need for a further cut in the policy rate. The problem the BoC faces is that there could be a slowdown in inflation due to the tariff impact on the labour market and economic growth, but at the same time, upward pressure could be seen due to the implementation of tariffs. The BoC will be monitoring upcoming inflation reports to gauge what way prices are being pushed before dictating monetary policy. ” Try Newsquawk free for 7 days Newsquawk Week Ahead: Highlights 14-18th July 2025 US CPI (TUE): The consensus expects US CPI to rise by 0.3% M/M in June, picking up in pace vs the +0.1% in May; core CPI is also expected to rise by +0.3% M/M in June after the +0.1% in May. Wells Fargo says the data is likely to show inflation beginning to strengthen again, albeit not enough to alarm Fed officials at this stage. It said that “amid a softer labour market and services inflation dissipating a bit more, the pickup in core inflation stemming from tariffs is likely to look more like a bump than a spike.” The data will be framed in the context of how US tariff policy is impacting prices, and the consequential knock-on onto Fed policy. Most Fed officials have taken a cautious approach on the outlook for rates, given expectations that consumer prices are expected to rise towards the end of the year due to tariff effects. However, some (Bowman and Waller) have suggested that the tariff-induced price rises might be a one-off and would therefore allow officials to look at rate cuts as soon as the July meeting if inflation pressures remain contained. Money markets, however, do not see this materialising, and are currently pricing a sub-5% probability that the Fed will reduce rates on July 30th; through the end of the year, markets are still fully pricing two 25bps reductions, in keeping with the Fed’s own projections. UK CPI (WED): Expectations are for headline Y/Y CPI to rise to 3.5% from 3.4% with the core Y/Y rate seen holding steady at 3.5%. As a reminder, the May report saw headline Y/Y CPI slip to 3.4% (matching the MPC forecast) from 3.5%, core decline to 3.5% from 3.8% and services fall to 4.7% from 5.4% as the Easter-driven boost seen in the April data unwound. This time around, analysts at Oxford Economics, who hold a below-consensus view of 3.4% for headline Y/Y CPI, expect a series of offsetting forces. Specifically, they anticipate that “modest upward pressure from a smaller drag from the petrol category and base effects in the core goods category will likely be counterbalanced by softer services inflation”. From a policy perspective, the release will likely underscore the tough balancing act put before the MPC, whereby growth appears to be slowing, the labour market is loosening, but inflation is stubborn and is set to remain the case. As it stands, an August cut is priced at 78% for the August meeting, with a total of 52bps of loosening seen by year-end. AUSTRALIAN JOBS REPORT (THU): The Australian labour force data for June comes after Mayʼs surprise 2.5k drop in employment, which followed a sharp April gain (+87.6k). Westpac expects a +30k rise in June employment (vs market forecast of +20k), with underlying three-month average jobs growth holding steady at 2.3% Y/Y—matching late 2024 levels and signalling ongoing labour market resilience. The participation rate dipped to 67.0% in May but is forecast to edge back to 67.1% in June, supporting the view that the unemployment rate will hold at 4.1% for a fifth straight month, according to the desk. Overall, Westpac notes that job growth remains robust beneath monthly volatility, with labour market conditions still steady despite recent swings. Newsquawk Week Ahead: Highlights 14-18th July 2025 UK JOBS (THU): Expectations are for the ILO unemployment rate in the 3-month period to May to hold steady at 4.6% with headline earnings (ex-bonus) 3M/YY set to pull back to 5.0% from 5.2%. As a reminder, the prior report showed a large contraction in HMRC payrolls change (-109k vs. prev. -55k) for May, the unemployment rate in the 3M period to April rose to 4.6% from 4.5% and headline earnings 3M/YY slipped to 5.3% from 5.6%. This time around, analysts at Investec continue to flag the data quality concerns that have been plaguing the labour market report; however, they expect employment growth to slow on account of their estimates “that vacancies and more timely PAYE employment figures have recently softened, and at an increasing pace”. Note, markets will also be keeping an eye on any upward revision to last monthʼs HMRC payrolls print. On the pay front, the desk also notes signs of recent weakness and expects further softness in the upcoming report, adding that “there are helpful base effects rom now lower wage settlements coming through compared with higher pay deals a year ago”. From a policy perspective, the likes of Bailey and Ramsden have noted the softening in the labour market. However, there hasnʼt been much in the way of comms from the MPC to brace markets for an increase in the pace of rate cuts from its current cadence of every other meeting. Note, the impact of the release will need to be taken in the context of the inflation data due out the day before. US RETAIL SALES (THU): Analysts expect US retail sales to be unchanged in June, with the consensus predicting +0.0% M/M from a prior -0.9%; the ex-autos measure is seen rising +0.3% M/M vs a prior -0.3%. Bank of America’s monthly consumer checkpoint data suggests that there was an overall rise of +0.7% M/M in June, though services spending is seen slipping for a third straight month. Its aggregated credit card data showed that credit and debit card spending per household was up +0.2% Y/Y in June (vs +0.8% Y/Y in May), and seasonally adjusted, spending per household rose +0.3% M/M, only partially unwinding the monthly declines of 0.2% and 0.7% in April and May. BofA said, “it appears consumers are pulling back on some areas of discretionary services spending, though this cooling does not currently appear broad-based.” BofA did note, however, that lower-income households’ spending growth is particularly soft, with total card spending growth negative on an annualised basis in the three months to June; “these households also have the weakest after-tax wage growth in Bank of America deposit data,” but the spending and wage growth of higher-income households appears to have risen. JAPANESE CPI (FRI): There are currently no median market expectations for the June CPI, but the data follows Mayʼs 3.7% Y/Y rise in the core index—a more than two-year high and well above the BoJʼs 2% target. ING expects the release to show a slight easing of inflation pressures, driven by government caps on energy and food prices, though the headline is still seen staying above 3%. Last monthʼs report noted that persistent food inflation and firms passing on higher labour costs kept price growth elevated, while service-sector inflation continued to accelerate. BoJ policymakers remain divided on the outlook, balancing upside inflation risks against external headwinds from US tariffs. Copyright © 2025 Newsquawk Voice Limited. All rights reserved.
