Global Macro Developments
1.EU Approves €93 Billion Counter-Tariff Plan Against the U.S.
On July 24 local time, EU member states overwhelmingly passed a decision to impose retaliatory tariffs on €93 billion worth of U.S. products. The plan merges two lists: an earlier €21 billion list from April targeting U.S. soybeans and motorcycles, and a newly approved €72 billion list covering aircraft, automobiles, and electrical equipment. EU Commission spokesperson Olof Gill stated on July 23 that the tariffs would take effect on August 7 if negotiations with the U.S. break down.
2.Trump Personally Urges Powell to Cut Rates
U.S. President Donald Trump, during a visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters, reiterated his call for interest rate cuts and expressed this directly to Fed Chair Jerome Powell. He also criticized budget overruns in the Fed’s renovation project, stating that if a project manager exceeded budget under his watch, they would be fired. After the visit, Trump described the interest rate discussions as “productive” and not tense, adding that firing Powell would be a major move but is unnecessary.
3.Altcoin Season Starts with Weak and Divergent Performance
According to Bloomberg, the crypto market’s “altcoin season” has gotten off to a disappointing start, with inconsistent rather than broad-based gains. Although Bitcoin hit an all-time high and has since consolidated, the market had hoped for a breakout by Ethereum and a rebound in NFTs to signal a turnaround. However, altcoins have shown divergent performance—XRP, for instance, surged over 60% in early July but fell 11% on Wednesday. Many popular altcoins fall into the “low circulating supply, high Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV)” category, making them susceptible to manipulation. While traders are aware of this dynamic, expectations remain high.
4.White House to Allow 401(k) Investment in Crypto
The White House is preparing an executive order to provide legal protection for 401(k) plan managers, allowing them to include alternative assets such as private equity and cryptocurrencies. Blackstone President Jon Gray noted that this shift will create opportunities for private equity firms and offer more diversified investment channels to everyday investors, potentially transforming the U.S. retirement savings landscape.
5.U.S. and South Korea Reaffirm Plans to Reach Trade Deal Before Tariff Deadline
According to South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, U.S. Commerce Secretary Luttig and South Korean Minister Kim Jung-kwan discussed reciprocal tariffs and agreed to strengthen manufacturing cooperation. Kim also met with U.S. Energy Secretary Wright to discuss clean energy and energy security. Additionally, South Korea’s Chief Trade Negotiator Yeo Han-koo will meet with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai.

6.BTCC Exclusive Market Analysis
Bitcoin is currently trading at $115,474. On the 4-hour chart, the price is in a wide-range volatile and slightly bearish structure—oscillating around the Bollinger Band midline, with MA10 and MA20 converging and diverging. Price candles are testing both the upper and lower bounds of the channel, indicating intensified long-short conflict.
Technically, the MACD fast and slow lines have turned from converging to a death cross, with the green energy column gradually expanding, releasing bearish momentum; the CCI has fallen below the lower edge of the neutral range and hit the oversold threshold, reflecting concentrated short-term selling pressure but indicating a potential rebound; the Bollinger Bands channel has first narrowed and then expanded, with significantly increased price volatility, and the breakthrough direction will determine the short-term trend.
Trading Strategy:
Short-term traders: If BTC falls below $116,000 and MACD death cross strengthens, consider light short positions. If BTC breaks above the midline (~$118,000) and a MACD golden cross forms, consider light long positions. Position sizing should remain ≤30% during volatile periods, with shorts managed cautiously.
Mid-term traders: Wait for clear MA divergence and MACD reversal. Focus on breakout + retest confirmation between $115,000–$118,000. A firm hold above $118,000 with CCI back to neutral supports long entries. A breakdown below $115,000 raises risk of testing $112,000.
The crypto market remains in a short-term tug-of-war, but long-term fundamentals are intact—driven by institutional inflows, regulatory clarity, and technological progress. Investors are advised to focus on compliant assets (e.g., Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs) and DeFi protocols with real revenue models (e.g., Hyperliquid), while being cautious of high-leverage trading risks.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
