BTC: 4-month range breakout and recovery, finally hitting $70,000 resistance

BTC started the month with a 5-day sharp decline, which ended with a range breakout and a market sell-off (including altcoins and BTC) on July 5, with a low of $53,500 . This sell-off was likely caused by market participants’ improper positioning, but the main panic news at the time was that the German government was selling 50,000 $BTC that had been confiscated a few years ago.

Subsequently, $BTC oscillated between $54,000 and $58,000 for a few days. On July 13, Donald Trump was shot at a conference, which triggered a strong rally in $BTC for a few days and also increased the possibility of Trump winning the election. Within a week, $BTC basically rose to $68,000 with almost no pullback. All this happened at the same time that Mt. Gox began to distribute $BTC to creditors, involving billions of dollars of $BTC, but the impact on the price of BTC was not obvious, which was considered a very bullish signal.

On July 27, Trump spoke at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville , announcing the launch of a BTC strategic reserve if re-elected. This triggered a lot of FOMO in the market, with $BTC breaking through $69,000 in the hours leading up to the speech. The price retreated slightly during the speech, but Trumps mention of a strategic reserve was seen as a fairly bullish signal.

Then, as $BTC approached $70,000, the open interest (OI) continued to rise (although this is usually a sign of disaster, but “will it be different this time?” haha), it hit $70,000 in just a second before falling back to $66,000 within hours. The month closed at $65,000, and as we now know, the sell-off continued below $50,000 in early August, but that will be discussed in the next monthly review.

ETH ETF launched, price performance poor

ETH mainly followed BTC in the first half of July, with slightly inferior performance. The ETH ETF was launched on July 23, and although the trading volume was not particularly disappointing compared to expectations, we saw a large amount of ETHE outflow every day after the launch, and ETHBTC plummeted to 0.048 on the second and third days of ETF trading. $ETH closed at $3,230 at the end of the month, and the overall ETF launch performance was disappointing.

Most direct ETH beta tokens also underperformed in July.

$SOL and its ecosystem perform well

While ETH’s performance was lackluster, $SOL was the exact opposite. It outperformed the market throughout July, rising over +50% from the bottom to close to $193 at the end of July.

SOLETH is near its all-time high and has reached a resistance level where it was rejected 3 times before, in March, April, and May. $JUP is the beta token most directly associated with $SOL, while other top performers in the ecosystem include: $PYTH, $JTO, $RAY, $HNT.

Catcoin leaders: $POPCAT, $MOG and $MEW

In July, catcoins became the most prominent performers on the market: $MOG and $POPCAT became the new “PEPE and WIF”, consistently performing best on the upside. They both reached new all-time highs and are approaching $1 billion in market cap. $MEW also joined the group, becoming the third most important catcoin, having risen almost 3x from bottom to top.

Unexpected surprise, $XRP leads the gains in July

An unexpected coin outperformed in July – $XRP outperformed the market by a wide margin, ending July with a +31% gain. One factor driving this move was rumors of a possible settlement in the Ripple case with the SEC. Other coins that performed strongly in July included: $TRX, $BCH, $XMR, $XLM, $ZEC.

DeFi 1.0 giants $MKR and $AAVE performed well

One coin that was significantly impacted by the news in July was $MKR, which was that BlackRock planned to apply for MakerDAO’s $1 billion tokenized treasury plan, causing $MKR to rise by +10% in a few hours and an overall rise of +50% from bottom to top.

MKR is a DeFi 1.0 coin that generates a lot of revenue despite a low valuation. Another similar coin is AAVE, which has been outperforming the market since May 2024. They also announced the new Aavenomics, which will introduce fee adjustments for $AAVE token holders.

Altcoin sell-off and rebound, $WLD short squeeze

As I mentioned before, July 5th was a sell-off day for altcoins, with a lot of liquidations, which is usually followed by a strong rebound. Many high FDV low circulation venture capital coins experienced rebounds, some falling 80% to 90% from their all-time highs, rebounding between +40% and 2x.

There was a strong squeeze on $WLD in particular as they announced that they would extend the vesting period for some of their tokens. $WLD experienced a +85% short squeeze in 2 days before falling back again. Altcoins in general have underperformed BTC again in the second half of July.

Altcoins sold off, rebounded, and then underperformed again.

Ordinals quietly excel

After the sell-off in early July and towards the end of the month, ordinarys were among the best performing coins, mainly $SATS, $ORDI, and $RATS. However, the Runes token, which was supposed to be the next evolution of ordinarys, did not perform well.

Among the new coins, only $ZRO performed well

There weren’t a lot of major coin launches in July. $AVAIL, a data availability solution competing with Celestia, was launched.

Among the recently launched coins, the most notable one is $ZRO, which has risen from $2.5 to $5.5 within this month. $TAIKO has also been outperforming in the market until the end of July.

$NEIRO, will it become the new DOGE?

“Kabosu’s mother,” the owner of the original $DOGE dog in the meme, posted a photo of her new Shiba Inu, Neiro. Naturally, people flocked to create a “DOGE #2” meme coin, and three $NEIRO meme coins appeared: two on Solana and one on Ethereum.

In the first few days, the two Solana tokens were the clear leaders and alternated in the lead, but surprisingly, $NEIRO on ETH ended up being the winner and reached a market cap of nearly $200 million by the end of the month.
