$BTC

Bitcoin ($BTC) has surged to a new all-time high above $118,000 during #USCryptoWeek (July 14–18, 2025), driven by strong institutional demand, record ETF inflows of $1.18B, and corporate treasury adoption. Companies like Metaplanet (15,555 BTC, $1.54B) and Planet Ventures (16.69 BTC) bolstered holdings, while the U.S. holds 207,189 BTC as a sovereign stash. Analysts predict $125,000–$135,000 by July’s end, with Bitwise CIO targeting $200,000 by year-end, citing halving effects and on-chain strength. However, risks include overbought conditions (RSI high) and geopolitical tensions. Regulatory debates during Crypto Week, including the CLARITY and GENIUS Acts, could solidify U.S. crypto leadership, though Democratic pushback highlights fraud concerns. Sentiment on X remains bullish, with technicals showing BTC breaking key resistance at $117,000.
