Bitcoin hovers just below its mid‑May record at roughly $119,000, while the global crypto‑asset capitalisation approaches $4 trillion, but traders say the real test will come in the last week of July, when an unusually dense cluster of US macro‑policy events collides with an intensifying legal battle over President Trump’s tariffs. “The last few days of July will set the stage for markets for the rest of the year imo. FOMC meeting where dovish dissents are looking very likely. QRA meeting where we will get a look into how willing Bessent is going to be to try to weaponize treasury issuance for the first time since being chair. Tariff letter deadlines. The Supreme Court will begin deliberating on whether tariffs via executive order are legal or not. No big edge on either side right now personally, will just react once we get clarity. Stay frosty,” Forward Guidance host Felix Jauvin wrote via X. July’s Final Days Could Shape Crypto The two‑day Federal Open Market Committee meeting on 29–30 July is the first shot. Governor Christopher Waller, speaking last week, laid out the case for an immediate 25‑basis‑point rate cut, arguing that tariff‑linked inflation looks “temporary” and that the labour market is “under strain.” Related Reading: House Passes Major Bills During ‘Crypto Week,’ But Significant Changes May Take Time Prediction‑market platform Kalshi assigns a 40 % probability to two cuts and a 13 % probability to three cuts by December; Goldman Sachs now places the first move in September, but traders emphasise that even a single dovish dissent next week would cement that timetable. As The Kobeissi Letter summed up in a widely shared post: “Rate cuts are coming … Next week’s Fed meeting will pave the path for a September rate cut.” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has broken with predecessors’ reticence by all but instructing the central bank to move sooner. “If [tariff] inflation isn’t sticky, they could do it sooner than September,” he told Fox News on 1 July, after stating two months earlier that “the bond market is sending a signal that the Fed should be cutting.” Only hours after the Fed decision, Bessent will unveil the Treasury’s third‑quarter borrowing plans at the Quarterly Refunding Announcement. The agenda published on 11 July flags a noon release on 30 July. Desks are watching not just the size but the maturity mix: Bessent’s advisers have floated heavier use of short‑dated bills to “manage the yield curve,” a move that would soak up the very cash that cycles into stablecoins and crypto risk. Tariffs Come Back Into Focus Trade policy is the second pressure point. A 7 July executive order extended reciprocal tariffs and launched a volley of tariff‑rate letters to trading partners; the new levies take effect on 1 August unless renegotiated. Bessent flies to Stockholm next week in a last‑minute bid to defer a mooted 100 % surcharge on Chinese imports, underscoring how fluid the landscape remains.

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has set 31 July for expedited oral argument on V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, a case that could decide whether a president can impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Petitioners have already asked the Supreme Court for review before judgment, calling the tariffs a “$600 bn annual tax.” A ruling to curtail executive trade powers would remove what many bitcoin bulls see as a long‑term inflation tail‑risk; the opposite outcome could entrench the policy. Real yields—now the dominant macro driver of Bitcoin—move inversely to rate‑cut expectations and Treasury supply. The benchmark 10‑year has fallen about 30 bp in three sessions to 4.34 %, mirroring BTC’s 8 % bounce over the same period. For now, the market’s playbook is simple: Watch the Fed dots, count the bills in the QRA, read the tariff letters—and, as Jauvin advised, “stay frosty.” At press time, total crypto market cap stood at $3.81 trillion.

XRP’s tight range trading resolved to the downside, but lower levels are expected to attract buyers.
BNB, the native cryptocurrency of BNB Chain, crossed the $800 level in early Asian trading on Wednesday to set a new all-time high of $801. Related Reading: Too Pricey? Expert Says XRP Beats Bitcoin And Ethereum Right Now The surge came after a 5% increase over the last 24 hours and a 13% gain in the last week, taking BNB’s market capitalization to over $110 billion. Currently, it ranks as the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Spike In Volume And Derivatives Trading Volume trading around BNB has increased strongly. According to Coinglass data, daily volume rose over 40% to over $3 billion. Derivatives volume surged 31% to $2.18 billion, while open interest in BNB futures increased 19% to $1.23 billion. These represent an expanding tide of speculation and demand for the asset, perhaps fueled by fresh money flowing into the market. A good deal of this movement seems to be riding on bullish momentum forming around BNB’s recent price action. The token has been in an uptrend for weeks now, and this breakout above its previous highs indicates buyers are remaining bullish, even as there are indications that the market is heating up. Meanwhile, the relative strength index (RSI) is also well into overbought conditions at 87.50. When the RSI crosses above 70, it generally means that a pullback may be imminent. Nevertheless, the uptrend is still in place. BNB is well above its 20-day simple moving average of $704. Price is higher with good volume, and this is a combination that is commonly used to confirm trend strength. Nano Labs Buys $90 Million Worth Of BNB Institutional buying could be propelling the rally. On July 22, China-founded Web3 infrastructure company Nano Labs Ltd announced it had added 120,000 BNB tokens to its holdings—worth around $90 million. According to the company, it bought over-the-counter at an average cost of $707 per BNB. Nano Labs stated that it views BNB as a strategic reserve asset and will continue to add to its holdings. It also stated that it will invest in companies that are dedicated to the BNB ecosystem. Such a long-term commitment brings an element of confidence for retail investors tracking the token’s movements closely. All the hype aside, there are beginning to appear some warning signs. BNB is now trading above the top Bollinger Band, an indication that the token may be getting stretched.

Crypto analyst Xanrox has declared that the Ethereum price is on the brink of recording a parabolic rally to $5,500, a new all-time high (ATH). He also outlined factors that could drive the ETH rally to this target. Ethereum Price Eyes Rally To $5,500 In The Short Term In a TradingView post, Xanrox predicted that the Ethereum price could rally to $5,500 in the short term because banks and states are buying. He also claimed that ETH is part of the USA crypto reserve, which is bullish for the altcoin. Meanwhile, the analyst also alluded to the Ethereum ETFs, as another factor that could drive demand for ETH. Related Reading: Ethereum ATH Above $4,800? Here’s How High It Will Go If 2021 Repeats According to him, these institutional investors count ETH as the future of the crypto industry, which is a positive for the Ethereum price. These institutional investors have recently been warming up to ETH amid optimism that these funds could soon include a staking feature following the SEC’s approval. For the first time last week, these funds beat the Bitcoin ETFs in daily flows. Xanrox is also bullish on the Ethereum price from a technical analysis perspective. He noted that the altcoin is currently inside an ascending channel and breaking out with strong bullish momentum. The analyst also indicated that this was still a good time to buy ETH despite how much it has rallied this month, reaching a six-month high. He claimed that the Ethereum price is somewhere in the middle. As such, those who buy now can get to sell when ETH reaches $5,500. Xanrox added that the $5,500 level is likely where the altcoin will consolidate for a long time before going higher. Interestingly, his accompanying chart showed that Ethereum could even rally to as high as $113,000 at some point. A Demand Shock Is Coming For ETH In an X post, Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan declared that a demand shock is coming for ETH, which is why he predicts that the Ethereum price will continue to rally. He noted that the altcoin is up over 50% in the past month and more than 150% since its lows in April, thanks to overwhelming demand from ETFs and corporate treasuries. Related Reading: Ethereum Road To $10,000: Replay Of May’s Playbook Predicts Another Breakout Matt Hougan expects this demand to keep rising. He noted that ETF investors remain significantly underweight in terms of their ETH-to-BTC holdings ratio. The market expert further stated that although ETH’s market cap is about 19% the size of BTC, the Ethereum funds have amassed less than 12% of the assets that the Bitcoin ETFs hold. As such, he expects these investors to allocate more ETH, which is bullish for the Ethereum price. The Bitwise CIO predicted that Ethereum ETFs and treasury companies could purchase up to $20 billion of ETH in the next year, equivalent to 5.33 million ETH at today’s prices. Meanwhile, the Ethereum network is expected to produce around 800,000 ETH over the same period, resulting in demand that is seven times greater than supply. At the time of writing, the Ethereum price is trading at around $3,700, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from Tradingview.com
