$BTC Bitcoin Bulls Eye $100K Year-End Target as BTC Surges Above $62K Amid Market Rally

Bitcoin bulls are once again setting their sights on a $100,000 year-end target as BTC briefly surged over $62,000 before pulling back. The cryptocurrency's spike was part of a broader market rally, reversing significant losses from earlier in the week.

A bull market, characterized by rising asset prices and a strong economy, is in stark contrast to a bear market, where declining stocks reflect a receding economy. One trader remarked, “Regardless of the next 60 days, the bull market will continue along traditional four-year cycle lines with solid gains in October and November.”

Bitcoin's brief rise to $62,000 during the Asian morning hours on Friday was driven by favorable sentiment in the stock market and expectations of BTC following its historical market cycles. The surge liquidated nearly $100 million in short positions on bitcoin futures, marking the fourth-largest bearish bet liquidation of the year.

U.S. markets saw a robust rally on Thursday, with the S&P 500 experiencing its best day since November 2022, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rising by 3.1%. This recovery reversed losses from earlier in the week, which had seen significant declines across both stock indexes and cryptocurrencies.

Some analysts believe that Bitcoin's upward momentum is supported by broader market trends and BTC’s historical cycles. Michael Terpin, founder of Transform Ventures, commented, “With the Bank of Japan holding off on further interest rate hikes and the diminishing supply from major sellers, I don’t see BTC falling much below $50,000 again.”
Terpin also noted that if Donald Trump wins the upcoming election, it could trigger a rush of new buyers, potentially pushing Bitcoin's price over $100,000. He highlighted that October and November are typically strong months for Bitcoin, especially in the year following its halving event.

The recent BTC rally has also lifted other major tokens, with ETH and TON gaining 10%, and SOL and ADA rising by 5%.

$BTC Bitcoin Traders Anticipate September Surge but Remain Skeptical About $100K Target in 2024

Bitcoin traders predict an upward trend in Bitcoin's price for September, but many are cautious about the cryptocurrency reaching the $100,000 milestone by the end of 2024.

Pseudonymous crypto trader Rekt Capital shared with their 483,800 followers on X (formerly Twitter) that Bitcoin remains on course for a potential breakout in September. However, they noted that Bitcoin's inability to break out of the reaccumulation range—where buyers consolidate in anticipation of a price increase—within 100 days of the April halving made such a move unlikely.

As of July 29, Bitcoin was trading at $66,343, just 2.11% higher than it was 100 days post-halving. By the time of publication, the price had dipped slightly to $66,283, according to CoinMarketCap data.

$100K Bitcoin More Likely in 2025
Many traders believe that Bitcoin is more likely to surpass the $100,000 mark in 2025 rather than in 2024. Pseudonymous trader Daan Crypto Trades told Cointelegraph that the higher timeframe Bitcoin chart looks promising, a sentiment echoed by Will Clemente, founder of the crypto research firm Reflexivity Research. Clemente remarked that the "Bitcoin quarterly chart is looking insane" in a post on X on July 30.
Daan Crypto Trades expressed confidence in seeing Bitcoin reach six figures by 2025, citing favorable macroeconomic factors as a driving force.

Bitcoin Mining in Texas Linked to Health Issues Among Residents

Texas is rapidly becoming a Bitcoin mining hub, but residents of local towns are experiencing hearing issues, headaches, dizziness, and sleep disturbances.

The conflict between the economic interests of Bitcoin (BTC) mining in Texas and the quality of life of its residents is escalating, underscoring the need for comprehensive policy solutions.

Texas is home to 10 out of the 34 major Bitcoin mines in the United States. In 2021, when China decided to crack down on Bitcoin mining, numerous mining companies like Marathon Digital and Hut 8 moved to Texas due to its cost-effective power and access to renewable energy.

Texas appeals to Bitcoin miners due to its relatively low energy costs and deregulated power grid, which offers more flexibility and competitive pricing. Additionally, the state’s supportive regulatory environment and abundant renewable energy sources make it an attractive destination for mining operations.

On July 9, Hut 8 announced an expansion into West Texas citing “some of the lowest locational wholesale power pricing in North America.”

However, this influx of miners has also had adverse effects on the local residents.

Health Effects

Residents in Texas have reported noise levels from Bitcoin miners as high as 91 decibels, according to Time. According to the Hearing Health Foundation, sounds exceeding 70 decibels cause hearing damage over time.

This is comparable to the noise levels of a lawnmower or a chainsaw and can potentially cause long-term ear damage. Some residents have been officially diagnosed with hearing loss issues as a result of the noise.

Other reported health issues include a loss of sleep, dizziness, vertigo, and fainting spells. These health issues can be especially prevalent among older residents.

$BTC Bitcoin Bulls Stumble Again, But Optimism Remains

Bitcoin struggled to break through a key resistance level on Thursday, despite positive news from the U.S. inflation report.

BTC bulls were unable to penetrate critical resistance following the positive U.S. inflation data, leaving the potential for further losses. However, the downside may be limited as the recent supply overhang from Germany's Saxony state has been exhausted. Additionally, expectations of a Fed rate cut and FTX repayments may offer support, according to a prime broker.

Thursday was a significant day for the crypto markets as Bitcoin (BTC) failed to surpass a key resistance level despite a positive U.S. inflation report. This maintained the downward trajectory observed since early June. After the U.S. reported the first drop in consumer prices in four years, markets quickly increased bets on a Fed rate cut, boosting higher-risk assets, including BTC.

For a moment, it appeared that Bitcoin bulls would establish a foothold above the descending trendline that has characterized the sell-off from June highs near $72,000. Such a move would have signaled an end to the pullback and could have attracted momentum traders, as discussed in Thursday's First Mover America.

However, bullish hopes were quickly dashed as prices turned lower from the trendline resistance, falling below $57,000 early today.

#Bitcoin falls below $58K first time in 2 months

On July 4, the price of Bitcoin briefly dipped to $57,874 on Coinbase, marking the first time it has fallen below $58,000 in over two months. Amid a broader sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin long positions worth $54.9 million have been liquidated in the past 24 hours.

After the dip, Bitcoin's price stabilized and was trading at $58,964 at the time of writing, though it remains down 3.4% for the week, according to TradingView data. This drop reflects the impact of the significant liquidations, which have negatively affected traders betting on a Bitcoin price increase.

Bitcoin July Forecast: Bull Run Still Gaining Momentum, Price Set to Double Soon $BTC

June's volatility in the cryptocurrency market, particularly with Bitcoin, has kept investors on high alert. As we move into July, the pressing question is: What lies ahead? Is July typically a month of gains or losses for Bitcoin? And crucially, when will this bull run come to an end? Timing is everything in the markets.

On Crypto Banter’s Kyle Doops Trading Show, the analyst highlighted a minor pullback in Bitcoin's daily chart approaching the CME weekly close. With the closing of June for both Bitcoin and Ethereum on the horizon, it's important to consider how July has performed historically. According to the analyst, July has often been a bullish month, recording seven green months compared to four red ones in previous years. If June finishes on a positive note, we could see continued growth into July.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs see an increase in inflows$BTC

On June 25, U.S.-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a notable change in their recent trend. After seven consecutive days of outflows, these ETFs saw an uptick in inflows totaling $31 million.

Data from SoSo Value highlights that Fidelity’s ETF (FBTC) led the inflows, securing $49 million. This was followed by the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF (BITB), which attracted $15 million, and the VanEck Bitcoin Trust ETF (HODL), which recorded $4 million in net inflows.

Conversely, some ETFs still faced outflows. The Grayscale ETF (GBTC) experienced a significant single-day outflow of $30.2 million, and the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF reported $6 million in net outflows.

Since the introduction of these 10 spot Bitcoin funds on January 11, they have collectively seen net inflows of $14.42 billion, managing assets worth over $53.56 billion as of June 25.
Despite the recent positive movement, spot Bitcoin ETFs have endured substantial outflows in the past weeks, marking their largest since April. During that period, from April 24 to early May, the ETFs experienced net outflows exceeding $1.2 billion.

The shift on June 25 represents a potential change in sentiment among investors, suggesting renewed interest and confidence in spot Bitcoin ETFs after a period of notable withdrawals.

Bitcoin's price recently fell below the average entry point for traders$BTC

Prompting concerns that the current sell-off might deepen. Over the past week, Bitcoin's value has dropped by over 5.5%, reaching a six-week low of $58,400 on June 25. Analysts at Glassnode, a market intelligence firm, have warned that Bitcoin's fall below its short-term cost basis could lead to a more significant correction.

Glassnode's "Week On-chain" newsletter, published on June 25, notes, "Since mid-June, the spot price has plunged below the cost basis of both the 1w-1m holders ($68.5k) and 1m-3m holders ($66.4k)." This development could signal a loss of investor confidence, potentially resulting in a prolonged and deeper market correction.

The short-term holder (STH) cost basis, or realized price, is a metric indicating the average acquisition price for Bitcoin investors who are considered short-term holders. These holders are typically defined by the movement of coins that have been held for less than 155 days. According to LookIntoBitcoin, Bitcoin's drop below $64,000 on June 23 took it below the STH realized price, which stood at $64,591 at the time.

Further compounding the issue, the latest decline has brought Bitcoin's price dangerously close to the cost basis of the 3m-6m holders, which is $57,300. This cost basis is still increasing, even as Bitcoin's price continues to fall.

Glassnode's report also points out that the cost basis for 1w-1m holders has now fallen below that of 1m-3m holders. This shift indicates diminishing momentum on the demand side and suggests a net capital outflow from Bitcoin.

The broader implications of these trends could mean more turbulence ahead for Bitcoin, with the potential for a more extended period of price decline and recovery. As Bitcoin's price hovers near critical support levels, market participants and analysts alike are closely watching for signs of either a rebound or further decline.

Ethereum's supply has been inflating for 73 days straight. $ETH

The supply of new Ether (ETH) has been in its longest inflationary spell since the Merge in 2022, and the blockchain's Dencun upgrade in March seems to be responsible. The supply of ETH has been gradually increasing, with over 112,000 ETH being added to the overall supply since April 14, according to Ethereum data dashboard ultrasound.money.

Much of this inflationary activity can be traced back to the Dencun upgrade which went through on March 13, which introduced nine Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), including EIP-4844 which appears to be the reason for the inflation. EIP-4844 introduced "blobs" — a mechanism that allows transaction data to be stored separately and temporarily, reducing the fees paid for block data on Ethereum layer 2 networks. Additionally, Dencun introduced proto-danksharding, which saw more efficient data availability for block space on the Ethereum mainnet.

The recent developments in the Ethereum futures markets suggest that a rally to $3,700 is highly unlikely. While the cost of executing transactions on Ethereum layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism has seen a massive reduction, the total amount of ETH being burned on the mainnet has been reduced significantly as a result.

Despite the fact that ETH supply has flipped inflationary in recent months, the total supply of ETH has still decreased significantly since The Merge. Since September 2022, more than 1.5 billion ETH has been burned, while 1.36 billion ETH has been added, resulting in an overall supply reduction of 345,000 ETH, equating to just over $1.1 billion at current prices. This reduction in supply is a direct consequence of the switch to a proof of stake consensus mechanism.

Given these market dynamics, it is highly unlikely that Ethereum will see a rally to $3,700 shortly.

### Conclusion
The significant outflows from Bitcoin ETFs underscore the market's current unease, driven by macroeconomic uncertainties and specific events like the Mt. Gox repayments. However, analysts remain cautiously optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term prospects, emphasizing its resilience and the possibility of a market recovery. Investors are advised to stay informed, diversify their holdings, and employ strategic analysis to navigate the current market landscape effectively.

Bitcoin’s Resilience Amid Market Volatility: A Deep Dive $BTC

Bitcoin, the premier digital asset by market capitalization, demonstrated remarkable resilience, rebounding to $61,000 after momentarily plummeting to $59,200 during the initial hours of the Asian trading day. This precipitous dip underscores the persistent volatility and myriad influences exerting downward pressure on its valuation.

### Bitcoin's Present Market Dynamics
Presently, Bitcoin (BTC) stabilizes at $61,000, recuperating from an ephemeral descent to $59,200 observed in the early Asian trading milieu. Within the last 24 hours, BTC has diminished by 2%, marking a 6% depreciation over the preceding week, as per CoinDesk Indices. This signifies a pronounced downtrend while the broader CoinDesk 20 index, which monitors the foremost digital assets, maintains relative stability. This steadiness is attributed, in part, to the milder price fluctuations of Ethereum (ETH).

### Catalysts Behind Bitcoin's Price Fluctuations
Several pivotal elements have contributed to the recent selling momentum in Bitcoin:
1. **ETF Liquidations**
2. **Impending Mt. Gox Payouts**
3. **Miner Liquidations**

### Broader Cryptocurrency Market Trends
As Bitcoin navigates these challenges, other digital assets exhibit diverse performance trends:
**Ethereum and CoinDesk 20 Index**
**Lido (LDO)**

### Market Sentiment and Prospective Outlook
Market sentiment, though cautious, retains a glimmer of optimism:
**Polymarket Bitcoin Projections**
**Ethereum ETF Anticipation**

### In Summation
Bitcoin’s recent volatility and subsequent resurgence to the $61,000 threshold exemplify the enduring intricacies and pressures inherent within the cryptocurrency market. Influences such as substantial ETF liquidations, forthcoming Mt. Gox payouts, and miner sales have been instrumental in molding recent price trajectories. As Bitcoin continues to navigate these tumultuous currents, its future direction remains under keen scrutiny by investors and market analysts alike.

Unraveling the Reasons Behind Bitcoin’s Abrupt Descent to the $61k Price Territory $BTC
Bitcoin's recent plunge to the $61,000 threshold has ignited apprehensions amidst the ongoing tumult of market volatility and broader economic uncertainties. Analysts are sounding alarms about potential further retreats, casting shadows on the immediate trajectory of the cryptocurrency.
As Bitcoin dipped to the $61,000 level, the crypto market was sent into a whirl of speculation and unease. Market observers are dissecting this downturn to understand its causes and gauge if a deeper plunge might be on the horizon. This turbulence underscores the unpredictable nature of the digital asset arena, where values fluctuate rapidly influenced by a confluence of technical indicators, investor sentiment, and the broader landscape of the crypto sphere.
Factors Underpinning Bitcoin’s Decline
The recent bearish mood suggests that investors are adopting a cautious stance, retreating in the face of several adverse factors that have dampened risk appetites. These influences have not only driven Bitcoin's price lower but have cast a pall over the broader cryptocurrency market. Here are the pivotal reasons contributing to Bitcoin's recent drop:
Technical Resistance and Market Sentiment
Bitcoin's fall beneath the $62,000 mark has set off a cascade of technical warning signals among traders. Analysts such as Markus Thielen from 10X Research have pointed out the emergence of a potential double-top pattern in Bitcoin’s chart. This technical formation is often perceived as a bearish signal, potentially forecasting further declines.
Market Dynamics and Future Prospects
At present, Bitcoin is trading at $61,269.90, representing a 4.83% dip over the past 24 hours, with a trading volume hitting $21.5 billion. The cryptocurrency’s market capitalization stands around $1.2 trillion, underscoring its enduring importance within the digital asset domain. Despite the prevalent downturn, Bitcoin’s open interest—indicative of the total number of outstanding derivative contracts.

Bitcoin Experiences Significant Plummet Amid Intensified Liquidations $BTC
On Monday, Bitcoin descended precipitously by up to 8.1%, closing at $58,528, marking its most pronounced single-day drop since mid-April. This flagship cryptocurrency has been ensnared in a turbulent fortnight of outflows from exchange-traded products that maintain substantial crypto holdings. Within the past 12 hours alone, more than $210 million worth of bullish crypto wagers were dismantled, as reported.
An index tracking the top 100 digital currencies plummeted approximately 5% over the week leading to Sunday, representing the sharpest downturn since April, according to Bloomberg's compiled statistics.
Heightening the apprehension of intensified selling pressures, the Mt. Gox trustee, tasked with managing the remains of the once-prominent Japanese crypto exchange felled by a notorious hack over a decade ago, revealed plans to commence disbursements of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash by July.
“In light of the Mt. Gox revelation, it appears that certain market players are maneuvering towards short positions,” stated Stefan von Haenisch, OSL SG Pte's trading director. “Currently, the crypto sphere is grappling to find traction.”
This fracture within the crypto market coincides with growing skepticism regarding the Federal Reserve's capacity to expeditiously reduce interest rates from their current two-decade peak. To some analysts, this downturn in digital currencies signals a potential flagging in broader risk tolerance.
David Lawant, research director at FalconX, articulated in a note that the prevailing crypto market scenario is typified by "subdued volatility, tepid trading volumes, & a distortion in order book equilibrium when prices veer towards the boundaries of their established range."
Bitcoin's dramatic fall underscores the inherent volatility & susceptibility to external pressures within the digital asset domain. As market participants navigate these choppy waters, the interplay between macroeconomic factors & sector-specific developments.

BtcTurk Encounters Cyber Breach: Hot Wallets Compromised
$BTC
In a troubling turn of events, BtcTurk, a premier cryptocurrency exchange nestled in the Turkish financial landscape, recently fell prey to a cyber incursion that led to unsanctioned access to several of its hot wallets.

BtcTurk Encounters Cyber Breach: Hot Wallets Compromised
In a troubling turn of events, BtcTurk, a premier cryptocurrency exchange nestled in the Turkish financial landscape, recently fell prey to a cyber incursion that led to unsanctioned access to several of its hot wallets.

On June 22, BtcTurk, a titan in Turkey’s crypto exchange arena, disclosed that its platform had been assailed by cybercriminals. The attack compelled the exchange to halt all cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. The miscreants managed to infiltrate and affect the balances of hot wallets containing ten distinct cryptocurrencies, though the cold wallets — typically insulated from online threats — remained unscathed and secure.
Despite the severity of the violation, BtcTurk sought to reassure its clientele, emphasizing that the bulk of its digital reserves are ensconced within cold storage, thereby safeguarding the lion's share of user assets. Furthermore, the exchange asserted its financial robustness, stating that the monetary sum appropriated by the hackers is dwarfed by its overall fiscal reserves, ensuring the protection of user investments against potential depletion.

In immediate response to the security breach, BtcTurk has instituted a temporary cessation of all cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. The exchange's cybersecurity team is vigorously engaged in remedial actions to fortify its defenses and reestablish full operational capabilities expeditiously.
Currently, BtcTurk is meticulously probing the breach's particulars and is in active cooperation with pertinent authorities to thwart any prospective threats. This concerted effort underscores their commitment to fortifying their platform against such cyber adversities in the future.

MicroStrategy's $786 Million Bitcoin Acquisition Underscores Aggressive Strategy $BTC

MicroStrategy, the prominent American software and business intelligence firm, has once again made headlines with its latest substantial Bitcoin purchase. Between April 27 and June 19, 2024, the company acquired 11,931 BTC, investing approximately $786 million at an average price of $65,883 per Bitcoin. This bold move reaffirms MicroStrategy’s unwavering commitment to its Bitcoin investment strategy.

MicroStrategy’s Aggressive Bitcoin Expansion: Latest Purchase and Strategic Outlook

According to a recent 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), MicroStrategy utilized funds from a private offering of convertible senior notes and surplus cash reserves to finance this acquisition. This offering, completed on June 18, 2024, generated $800 million. The notes were issued with a 2.25% coupon rate and featured a 35% conversion premium over the average price of MicroStrategy's class A common stock. This total includes the option exercised by initial purchasers to buy an additional $100 million of notes.
Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s founder and chairman, provided an update on the firm’s Bitcoin holdings following this acquisition.

“As of June 20, 2024, MicroStrategy holds 226,331 BTC, acquired for approximately $8.33 billion at an average purchase price of $36,798 per Bitcoin,” Saylor stated.
Recent reports from BeInCrypto highlighted that just last week, MicroStrategy announced a strategic initiative to further increase its Bitcoin holdings, unveiling a $500 million offering of convertible senior notes due in 2032. This recent purchase solidifies MicroStrategy’s status as the public company with the largest Bitcoin holdings, accounting for roughly 1% of the total Bitcoin supply.
