Bitcoin, after a bullish surge towards the $71K threshold, faced selling pressure leading to a slight bearish rejection. However, a robust support region could potentially lead to a renewed bullish move. The $72K-$74K price range has been a formidable resistance, halting several upward attempts. The 100-day moving average at $66K, on the other hand, acts as a crucial support region. On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin has formed a smaller wedge pattern near the upper boundary of $70K. If Bitcoin surpasses this boundary, it may indicate a prolonged bullish trend, targeting the key $74K resistance zone. On-chain analysis reveals that whales, holding substantial positions, significantly impact price movements. The realized price of new whales has consistently acted as significant support for Bitcoin throughout the recent bullish trend. The realized price of new whales, approximately $62.8K, now serves as a key support region for Bitcoin buyers. This sentiment underpins a bullish outlook as long as the price remains above $62.8K.

Ripple has donated $25 million to the Fairshake super PAC, bolstering the crypto industry's push for pro-crypto policies and politicians. Amid its ongoing legal dispute with the SEC, Ripple is advocating for fair and balanced regulation. The company criticized the SEC's ineffective attempt to regulate the crypto industry via enforcement and stressed the importance of the 2024 elections for the industry. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the company will actively educate voters on the role of crypto in the future and the risks of anti-crypto policies. This donation follows a $20 million contribution to Fairshake six months ago, marking a significant increase in Ripple's political activity.

Former attorney David Kagel, 85, has pleaded guilty to operating a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme, defrauding victims of over $9.5 million. Kagel, once a respected legal figure in Beverly Hills, California, now faces up to five years in prison. Kagel was accused of colluding with co-conspirators to entice victims into a fraudulent crypto investment scheme, promising high-yield profits. The scheme involved false assurances, including claims that AI trading bots were used to manage investments in cryptocurrency markets. Kagel, acting as the promoter’s attorney, falsely assured victims that he was holding Bitcoin worth roughly $11 million in escrow as a guarantee to protect their investments. He also issued letters on his law firm’s letterhead to falsely confirm the legitimacy of the investment programs. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Nicole M. Argentieri stated that Kagel had exploited his attorney status to gain investors’ confidence and endorse false assertions regarding a cryptocurrency investment, which was a scam. Kagel’s guilty plea marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation. His sentencing is scheduled for September 10. Kagel has also admitted that he and his co-conspirators used victims’ funds for personal gain. Meanwhile, David Gilbert Saffron of Australia and Vincent Anthony Mazzotta Jr. of Los Angeles await their August 13 trial for their alleged roles in the same crypto Ponzi scheme.

In a recent report, Binance emphasized the need for robust scaling solutions for Bitcoin, given the surge in new users and use cases. The launch of the Ordinals protocol by Casey Rodarmor in December 2022, which triggered the Bitcoin NFT hype cycle in 2023, and the subsequent creation of the Bitcoin fungible token standard, BRC-20, have significantly increased the demand for Bitcoin blockspace. These developments have attracted a new wave of users, traders, and developers, leading to a rise in Bitcoin project funding and development. However, they have also resulted in a more congested mempool and higher transaction fees. Between 2022 and 2023, the average Bitcoin transaction fee rose 175% from $1.5 to $4.2, and in 2024, it has further increased to $9. Binance insists that if Bitcoin is to achieve true global mass adoption, several scalability solutions are necessary to move some transactions from layer-1 to layer-2 networks. Existing Bitcoin scaling solutions include the Lightning network, RGB, Stacks, BounceBit, and Merlin. Despite the challenges, the crypto community remains optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term potential and continues to work on enhancing its adoption.

In a remarkable recovery effort, cybersecurity researchers Joe Grand and Bruno have assisted an anonymous crypto user, known as Michael, in regaining access to 43.6 bitcoins (BTC) lost 11 years ago due to a forgotten password. Michael had used RoboForm to generate a unique password for his wallet in 2013, which he stored in an encrypted file for security reasons. However, the file got corrupted, and Michael lost access to his wallet. After initially refusing Michael's request for help in 2022, Grand and Bruno began the recovery process in June 2023. They discovered a vulnerability in RoboForm's random number generator, which linked each password to the date and time it was created. Despite the bug being fixed in 2015, the researchers believed it would have impacted all passwords created before then. By recalling the date he transferred the bitcoins to his wallet, Michael aided the researchers in testing hundreds of passwords until they found the correct one. Upon recovery, Michael rewarded Grand and Bruno with a portion of the bitcoins. He has since sold some of his holdings when BTC reached $62,000 and plans to hold the remaining 30 BTC, currently valued at approximately $2 million, until the asset reaches $100,000.

Bitcoin's price action has remained steady over the weekend, hovering just under $68,000. The altcoins have also been sluggish on a daily scale, but the weekly landscape has seen some impressive gains. Bitcoin had a strong start to the week, exploding from under $69,000 to over $70,500 on Monday. However, the asset's trajectory reversed, and it began losing value rapidly. By Tuesday, the cryptocurrency had slumped by more than $3,000 and was close to breaking below $67,000. Most altcoins have mirrored Bitcoin's performance on a daily basis, failing to produce any significant moves. However, on a weekly basis, some altcoins have seen notable gains. ETH has minor weekly gains, mirrored by TON and SHIB. LINK and WIF have seen the most significant jumps in the past seven days. The biggest gainers from the top 100 altcoins are NOT (270%), BRETT (61%), JASMY (50%), TIA (22%), and BGB (21%). Despite the sluggish daily performance, the overall market outlook remains optimistic. The total crypto market cap has shed about $40 billion since last Sunday, standing at $2.660 trillion. Bitcoin's market capitalization remains at $1.330 trillion, with its dominance over the altcoins at 50%.
