Over 107 Bitcoin was permanently burned to an unspendable address via five on-chain transactions, prompting Blockstream CEO Adam Back to label the loss an accidental quantum bounty for cryptography researchers. The incident sparked widespread discussion across Crypto communities about wallet security best practices and the need for improved user interfaces to prevent irreversible Bitcoin fund losses for retail market participants.😅😅😅

Short Squeeze Transforms into Price Push
Bitcoin researcher Axel Adler Jr.'s monitoring data indicates that since February, the market has accumulated over $7.9 billion in short liquidations. The liquidation peaks were primarily distributed between February and April, with a single-day liquidation volume of $737 million on February 13th. Despite traders frequently establishing short positions above $80,000, price resilience forced these positions into a "short squeeze"—a price increase triggering stop-loss sell-offs, which in turn boosted the price. On May 4th, liquidation volume surged again to $175 million, indicating that short positions continued to face the risk of forced liquidation at high levels. This dynamic balance cleared obstacles for Bitcoin to move towards $90,000.👍👍👍

ETH targets 60,000; BitMine aims to buy 5% of ETH. Tom Lee believes Ethereum is about to experience a pivotal macroeconomic moment, all closely tied to stablecoins. He has repeatedly emphasized that stablecoins represent the "ChatGPT" moment for cryptocurrencies, as consumers, businesses, and banks are widely adopting them. And all of this is built on the Ethereum network.😐😐😐

A whale transferred 10,000 BTC, triggering market selling pressure.

According to blockchain data platform Lookonchain, Galaxy Digital transferred 10,000 Bitcoins, worth a staggering $1.1 billion, to exchanges on July 24th. This move coincided with Bitcoin's drop from $117K to $115K that day, reinforcing the market interpretation of "whale selling."

Although US Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows of $226.6 million on the same day, this institutional buying was insufficient to fully absorb the selling pressure in the spot market, highlighting continued weak short-term demand. This also reflects a certain decoupling between ETF fund flows and actual trading activity.😝😝😝

A wave of short-term speculative capital flooded crypto markets over a 48-hour trading window, sparking sharp bullish momentum with Bitcoin (BTC) climbing 7% to $64,100 and Ethereum (ETH) surging 9% to $1,980 against USDT, reversing two weeks of consistent bearish price action. Market catalysts included softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data that eased fears of prolonged high interest rates, prompting risk asset buyers to convert idle USDT stablecoin reserves into undervalued BTC and ETH spot positions. Spot trading volume for ETH/USDT pairs outpaced BTC/USDT turnover during the rally, as retail traders favored Ethereum’s higher volatility for short-term swing trading funded via USDT deposits on centralized exchanges. On-chain data tracked $14.7 billion in USDT outflow from exchange cold storage wallets into active spot market liquidity pools to fund BTC and ETH purchase orders. 👍👍👍

Bitcoin prices are experiencing a short-term pullback, awaiting government QE to drive a price increase.

Hayes stated that the current market situation is similar to that after the 2008 financial crisis. When the stock market crashed, governments chose to print money to rescue the market, which was the starting point for Bitcoin's surge. He pointed out:

In the short term, reduced market liquidity may cause a Bitcoin price pullback.

In the long term, central banks around the world will eventually restart money printing policies (QE), pushing up asset prices, and Bitcoin will also benefit.

If the US stock market experiences a 20-30% correction, the Federal Reserve (FED) will intervene to provide more liquidity.❤️❤️❤️

Market volatility metrics spiked 74% across all crypto ETF trading sessions during the three-week institutional outflow cycle of mid-2026, as thin liquidity amplified minor buy/sell imbalances into exaggerated cryptocurrency price swings and forced market-making firms to widen trading spreads to offset elevated inventory risk when facilitating large crypto ETF creation and redemption orders linked to live spot crypto trading markets. Risk management teams at global asset managers responded by lowering maximum allowable crypto ETF portfolio weightings across client mandates, implementing mandatory stop-loss trading triggers for all crypto ETF positions and restricting unhedged directional crypto trading exposure to a small percentage of total multi-asset fund capital under active management oversight.☺️☺️☺️

1. Solana staking provides passive yield for long-term crypto SOL holders, helping secure the Solana network while generating annual rewards, yet it carries risks including lock-up periods, validator slashing risk, network downtime risk, and illiquidity during market selloffs when quick exits become essential. Differentiate core long-term staked SOL positions from actively traded SOL capital, choose reputable validators, monitor network health regularly, and avoid staking all available SOL to preserve trading liquidity for tactical crypto market moves and sudden volatility events.

Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics showed continued strength in late July 2026, with long-term holders controlling roughly 75% of the circulating supply and exchange reserves declining to multi-year lows, signaling a persistent supply squeeze that has historically preceded sustained upward price momentum in previous market cycles. Miners maintained steady selling patterns to cover operational costs, while corporate treasuries and family offices added small batches of BTC during dips, viewing the asset as a hedge against currency devaluation and geopolitical instability in an increasingly fragmented global economic landscape.😚😚😚
