Crypto Market Pulse – July 2025

From textbook break-outs to a looming $5 trn liquidity wave, the board is lighting up. Here’s how to position before the next leg.

1. Bitcoin: Welcome to Price-Discovery Mode

Technical trigger

Why it matters

Positioning cue

Weekly all-time-high close

Seven-month coil finally released.

Swing longs remain valid while $120 k holds.

Bull-flag break

Text-book continuation structure.

Core target $150 k (measured move ≈ 25 %).

Inverse head-and-shoulders

Confirms multi-month accumulation.

Secondary target $146–152 k.

2.618 Fib extension

Few obstacles between $120 k → $150 k.

Trail stops just below $119 k; add on dips into former resistance.

Actionable alpha

Size-down leverage above $148–152 k – first serious profit-taking zone.Replace laddered limit sells with OCOs (order-cancels-other) to avoid getting wicked out of an accelerating parabola.Hold a small cash buffer; post-breakout volatility is a feature, not a bug.

 

2. Macro Switch-On: “Big Beautiful Bill” = Big Beautiful Liquidity

$5 trn fresh debt: largest single expansion since the COVID bazooka.Net effect: M2 climbs to new highs; real yields drift lower despite Fed inaction.OTC desks dry: corporate treasuries (MicroStrategy, MetaPlanet) now lift directly on-exchange, pushing slippage onto screens.

Actionable alpha

When

What to do

Why

Now – Q3 2025

Run a net-long book across risk assets.

Liquidity leads price; fiscal taps are open.

Every new Treasury refunding

Check BTC response within 48 h.

Lack of supply = quadratic price effect (à la Fred Krueger).

If 10-year > 4.75 %

Hedge with short-dated puts.

Sign of funding stress; temporary crypto pullbacks follow.

 

3. Altcoin Rotation: Engines Igniting

Fastest momentum flips

Ticker

Catalyst

Immediate level

HYPE

Breakaway from seven-month range

Tagging price discovery – scale out above 0.0009 BTC

SUI

Third attempt at $4.00 ceiling

Monitor hourly close > $4.05 for trend continuation

BONK

Launchpad revenue → buyback & burn

Next supply wall US$0.000055

XRP

Weekly money-line flip + stable-coin traction

Fresh weekly long; invalidate < $0.53

IOTA

MoveVM main-net + new DeFi suite

Room to 0.000013 BTC (200-WMA)

ALT season is here - 196 tickers flipped bullish vs USD, 148 vs BTC last week

Portfolio map (suggested weights)


Rebalance weekly until BTC dominance < 63 %.

 

4. Solana Corner: Throughput Meets Real Revenue

Theme

Latest data

Why it matters

Tokenised stocks

90 % of all on-chain equity volume now routes via SOL.

Institutions interact without CEX custody.

BONK-Launchpad

29 k SOL bought for burns (annualised 156 k SOL).

Revenue recycles back to holders – unlike Pump.fun.

DePIN / GPU cloud

Theta EdgeCloud & Hivemapper both migrate worker payouts to SOL.

Cash-flow protocols anchor treasury demand.

Key SOL levels

$188: turns weekly trend decisively bullish vs ETH.$230: window to new ATH; layer on optionality (long dated calls) if broken.

 

5. Ethereum Roadmap: Institutional Story vs. Builder Reality

EF “Scalable L1” blog: commits to more blob-space, statelessness and quantum-safe signatures—but still centred on L2 roll-ups.Kathy Wood calls it “the right move”; TradFi loves the narrative.Builder push-back: Monad & other Move-based chains courting EVM devs with base-layer throughput (no separate sequencers).

Actionable alpha

Trade the narrative: overweight ETH until spot-ETF inflows plateau.Build on chains where users live: SOL, SUI, upcoming Monad; simpler UX wins the cycle.For ETH gas exposure, accumulate blob-heavy L2 sequencer tokens only on dips; they’ll underperform once base-layer fees stay low.

 

6. Policy & Regulation Watch

Jurisdiction

What’s cooking

Hedge

EU / ECB

Floating idea of redirecting retail savings into “strategic projects”.

Keep > 50 % stack in self-custody, outside EU banks.

UK

BoE warns against bank-issued stable-coins.

Diversify into on-chain USD stables (USDC, USDT, PayPal USD).

Switzerland

Green party wants 50 % wealth tax on > CHF 50 m.

Consider multi-sig with foreign co-signers; residency flexibility.

9. TL;DR Action List

Stay long BTC until weekly closes < $120 k.Rotate 30 % of performance capital into majors flipping vs BTC (SOL, SUI, XRP).Deploy grid-bots on high-range, high-narrative alts (e.g., COOKIE, FORT).Keep 5 % cash—hyper-volatile breakouts still offer flash-fill bargains.Monitor policy headlines; self-custody and jurisdictional optionality are no longer optional.
