Market picture

The crypto market cap fell 1% in 24 hours to $2.36 trillion, in line with the US market's losses during that time. The pullback in traditional finances explains why Bitcoin is dragging the overall crypto market down. Bitcoin is losing 1.3%, Ethereum 0.5%, and the top altcoins are changing between -4.7% (XRP) and 2.8% (Solana).

Bitcoin continues to tread around $64K, clinging to the area above its 50-day moving average. Consolidation after the rally in Bitcoin continues, with it technically far from overbought and sentiment far from euphoric, leaving room for gains.

Despite the unsightly external background, Solana set a new local peak at $164, the highest in six weeks. The coin withstood repeated attempts to sell the price below the 200-day average since the end of June. This support coincided with a 61.8% retracement of the rally from September to the March peak. The expansion pattern will activate if the price rises above $200, making the $320 area a potential target. It will take impressive FOMO and a successful Solana project effort to get the price there in the coming year.

News background

According to SoSoValue, spot bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of $53.35 million on 17 July. The positive trend continued for the ninth consecutive day with total inflows of $1.97 billion. In total, since the approval of BTC-ETFs in January, inflows have totalled $16.59 billion.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban said Bitcoin could become a global safe haven amid geopolitical uncertainty and the dollar's failure as a reserve currency. This would increase global demand for the first cryptocurrency as a means of saving.

Ripple executives expect the US SEC to drop further investigations and withdraw claims against the company after a series of unsuccessful lawsuits.

The SEC has approved applications to launch an Ethereum-based mini-ETF from Grayscale and an exchange-traded fund from ProShares. It is expected that trading in the instruments could begin on 23 July. The products do not involve staking, but this could change in the future.

According to CoinGecko, meme tokens were the most popular narrative in the cryptocurrency ecosystem at the end of Q2, with a 14.34% share. This was followed by real-world tokenised assets (RWAs) with 11.3% and artificial intelligence tokens with 10.09%. CoinGecko noted Ethereum inflation - the market supply of ETH for April-June increased by 120,000 coins.

The Fed Has Changed the Rules of the Game

The Fed kept rates unchanged, but everything else turned decidedly more hawkish. Higher inflation forecasts, higher expected rates and the end of forward guidance mean markets are now on their own. Every inflation print and every job report will matter more than ever—expect volatility to become the new normal.

Today Fundamental Analysis: US stocks close lower as Fed keeps interest rates unchanged, but hints at a rate hike this year

At the first FOMC meeting chaired by Kevin Warsh, the committee kept interest rates unchanged at 3.5%–3.75%. However, the Fed’s updated dot plot turned more hawkish, with policymakers now expecting higher rates in 2026. The median year-end rate forecast rose to 3.8% from 3.4% in March, signaling the possibility of at least one rate hike next year.

US500 – The Fed Just Turned Hawkish, and Stocks Felt It

The Fed just shifted gears. Instead of rate cuts, nine officials now expect a hike this year. New chair Kevin Warsh's message: beating inflation comes first. Markets reacted fast—S&P 500 dropped over 1%, the dollar surged, and yields hit a one-year high. Warsh also dropped forward guidance, so traders now watch data over Fed promises. The next move hinges on jobs and inflation numbers.
