거시경제 연구: 비트코인 상승은 고무적이며, 미국 주식 추세는 70.0 돌파의 열쇠가 될 수 있습니다.

In the past week, the market has started to rebound strongly. Will this round of rebound become a reversal? Recently, the US economic data has gradually weakened, and the voices of interest rate cuts have gradually increased. Several Fed officials have hinted that interest rate cuts are approaching, but the specific time has not been determined. Ethereum spot ETFs may allow staking, and Bitcoin is in high spirits, testing the 65,000 mark upward. The performance of some altcoins has outperformed the market. We believe that Bitcoin has broken away from the lower limit of valuation, and the next step may be adversely affected by the downward trend of US stocks.

Macro environment

Trumps approval rating rises after assassination

In recent years, Trump has continuously supported the crypto market and threatened that other countries, especially China, should not be allowed to take over cryptocurrencies. This has led to greater expectations in the market for a more relaxed regulatory environment in the U.S. crypto market. The market is also looking forward to whether China will have further regulatory relaxation policies.

The U.S. economy is waiting to turn around

The US economy is waiting for direction. According to the GDP Now model of the Atlanta Federal Reserve on July 10, the US GDP is expected to grow at an annualized rate of 2.0% in the second quarter. On the one hand, the US economy continues to expand, and the GDP growth rate is still close to the potential growth rate, especially the role of investment in driving economic growth. On the other hand, with the exhaustion of excess savings of US households and the inhibitory effect of high interest rates on consumption, the strong pull of consumption on the economy has obviously weakened. Overall, the US economy is waiting for direction, but the cooling signal is increasing.

Market status and future trends

This week, the market has been strong due to the reduction of selling pressure. The price trend of Bitcoin (BTC) is very strong, and the altcoin market has also strengthened. On July 23, the Ethereum spot ETF may be launched, and the short-term market sentiment has been supported. The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has turned to Greed.

Bitcoins recent trend is similar to that of the Nasdaq index, regaining its relatively strong performance. As our magazine said last week, after the selling pressure eased, there was a rapid rise in the short term. However, before the future interest rate cut, the US stock market may fall and bring the market crash, so we should focus on the trend of the US stock market.

Hot Spot: WLD postpones unlocking schedule

According to the Worldcoin Foundation, the WLD tokens allocated to Worldcoin contributor Tools for Humanity were originally scheduled to be unlocked daily in a linear manner starting on July 24, 2024. However, TFH extended the unlocking schedule for 80% of the WLD held by team members and investors from 3 years to 5 years.

Reasons for rebound:

The AI sector experienced a round of oversell in the early stage. As BTC and market sentiment warmed up, WLDs rapid rebound promoted the continued recovery of the track, driving mainstream currencies such as TAO and NEAR to continue to strengthen.

요약하다

In the past week, the market rebounded strongly, especially Bitcoin and Ethereum, which showed a significant upward momentum. As US economic data cooled and calls for interest rate cuts gradually rose, the markets expectations for the Feds policy became stronger. The possible passage of the Ethereum spot ETF and the introduction of the staking function further stimulated market enthusiasm, while Bitcoin has broken through key points and some altcoins have also outperformed the market. However, the market still needs to pay attention to the trend of US stocks and its possible impact in the future. In this macro environment, hot events in the AI and Meme tracks deserve close attention from investors.

Related: Bitcoin vs Ethereum: A culture war rooted in fundamental principles

Original author: WILLEM SCHROE , founder of Botanix Original translation: Block unicorn Bitcoin and Ethereum, despite being twin forces in the promotion and adoption of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, have historically been at odds with each other due to the “L1 war” and its active network supporters. To some, this competition may seem like just a culture war within the crypto community. However, fundamentally, this reflects very different underlying beliefs that have led to the disagreement. Let’s dig deeper into these fundamental beliefs: Bitcoin: A beacon of decentralization (and liquidity) Bitcoin was designed to challenge the traditional financial system and provide an alternative that does not require intermediaries. Proponents resonate with this goal and therefore make decentralization their primary criterion. An example of this commitment is the blocksize war between…
