Bitcoin breaks through 120,000 USD as Congress Crypto Week approaches, Solana aims for 185 USD
The market awaits CPI data and "Crypto Assets Week", with Bitcoin defending and attacking between $135,000 and $115,000, and Solana aiming for $185.
1. Market Observation
Trump announced a 30% tariff on products imported from Mexico and the EU starting August 1, a move that has put pressure on the market, causing declines in US and European stock futures, while risk aversion has driven up the prices of gold, the US dollar, and Bitcoin. Analysts believe this policy shift has increased the uncertainty around the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, with market expectations for a rate cut in September dropping to about 70%. Strong employment data has essentially ruled out the possibility of a rate cut in July, making the June CPI report released this week the focus.
In addition to focusing on CPI data, China's second quarter GDP, and the US earnings season, the market also needs to closely monitor the movements in the US Congress. Congress has declared this week as "Crypto Assets Week" and plans to review several bills that could reshape the digital asset market landscape.
Hong Kong is steadily advancing its stablecoin and asset tokenization strategy. An analyst pointed out that Hong Kong is issuing a limited number of initial stablecoin licenses, focusing on cross-border payment applications. He believes that the "LEAP" framework in Hong Kong's Policy Statement 2.0 strikes a balance between innovation and stability, aiming to accelerate the development of the digital asset ecosystem. Although facing challenges in the short term, in the long run, ETFs and commodity tokenization have the potential to attract capital inflows.
Bitcoin breaks through $121,500 to reach a new high. Analysts point out that $119,000 to $120,000 is a key resistance zone, and if broken, it may rise to $135,000 to $140,000; if it encounters resistance, it may test support at $114,000 to $115,000. According to analysis, the second round of upward trend for Bitcoin prices has entered its second week. Meanwhile, Solana has increased by 12.87% in the past 30 days, successfully breaking through $160 twice. Analysts expect SOL to challenge $300 before August, with $185 being the key target price in the short term.
Altcoins and Meme coins exhibit high speculative and community-driven characteristics. The NFT sector has seen phenomenal spread, with a certain penguin project triggering a "profile picture frenzy" sweeping multiple platforms, its floor price soaring 49.4% over the past week and rising 21.8% in 24 hours, far surpassing other blue-chip projects.
