The July CPI data that was released paints a very positive and reassuring picture for the markets and the Fed.
• Headline inflation at 3.4%, in line with expectations, prevented a negative surprise or shock wave in the market. It confirmed that the downward trend in inflation continues.
• Core inflation came in at 2.5%. This figure, which excludes key items like food and energy, falling to 2.5% is crucial. It indicates a healthy approach towards the Fed's permanent target of 2.0%.
• Monthly Change +0.1%. A slight increase of 0.1% on a monthly basis after the decline in June (-0.4%) is not scar

Standard Chartered says $200 for $LINK by 2030
The fundamentals support the thesis.
The chart hasn't confirmed it.
Here are some facts :
> A 25x target by 2030.
> @chainlink is still trading inside the same triangle it's been stuck in since 2021.
Those two things need to be reconciled before you get excited.
→ The structure problem
LINK has been compressing inside a descending triangle for five years. Lower highs from the $52.8 top in May 2021, higher lows off the 2022 bottom, and price is sitting right at the apex around $8.7 today.

$BEAT Just look at the overall long and short positions.

$SOXL just saw a $10.1K short liquidation near $141.99. I would watch the $140–143 zone for a clean entry. If buyers hold it, targets are $148, $153, and $160. A break below $138 weakens the setup, so $136 is my stop-loss area. Wait for confirmation before entering.

CPI data came in as expected, U.S. stocks opened higher as anticipated, and the memory chip sector surged.
However, the biggest recent change in the market is that the correlation between crypto and U.S. stocks has become increasingly unreliable. Using U.S. stock movements to predict crypto prices can easily lead to losses.
Tonight’s higher open is driven more by short-term sentiment, so beware of the risk of a pullback after the rise.
It is not advisable to chase trades in the near term. Continue positioning based on a range-bound strategy. Many people repeatedly lose money in choppy markets

The crypto world isn’t about getting rich overnight—it’s about risking your life. From Bali to Paraguay, who’s next in line?
Bali, a five-star hotel. A young couple’s blood was spilled across a hotel room. The man traded crypto, and his Instagram was full of supercars, luxury watches, and private jets—clearly desperate for everyone to know he was rich.
Paraguay, a luxury mansion. Ye Junde, the head of Quantum Fintech, who managed $2 billion in assets, fell naked from the 30th floor. His office had been turned upside down as if it had been burglarized.
Two deaths, one script: getting rich in cr

At the beginning of last month, I said Bitcoin would fall further, and my view remains unchanged.
On the higher-timeframe weekly chart, connecting the 2022 low with last December’s 126K high, Bitcoin indeed has solid support at 57.8k, and weekly MACD bullish divergence is not easy to form. However, put another way, bullish divergence on the weekly timeframe is relatively slow to take effect. More often, the market will consolidate and correct to absorb the divergence rather than form a reversal.
On the shorter four-hour timeframe, Bitcoin has been ranging between 67k and 57,800 for nearly two

Only $BTC 0.7% of Bitcoin miners’ revenue comes from transaction fees, and this figure has not exceeded 1% for nearly a year, noted Rafael Schultze-Kraft, co-founder of analytics platform Glassnode. According to his data, the last time the share of fees was this low was in December 2015, when Bitcoin was worth less than $400.
Miners’ revenue comes from two sources: subsidies and fees. The larger portion is the fixed subsidy for adding a new block of transactions to the blockchain. Every 4 years, it is cut in half through a halving, and currently amounts to 3.125 BTC ($200,000 at the current e

long do crypto bear markets really last?
I did a quick manual check on TradingView, and the historical pattern is pretty interesting: bear markets have averaged around 15 bars (~1 year), while bull markets have averaged roughly 32 bars (~2 years).
If we project that pattern forward, the current cycle could still have some time to play out. 📉➡️📈
History doesn’t repeat perfectly, but it definitely gives us a framework to watch. 👀
