📊 Crypto Market Structure Update: July 2025
The crypto market is experiencing a defining shift this July, with Bitcoin crossing $120,000 and the total market cap breaking above $3.8 trillion—the strongest bull run yet12.

Altcoin Strength: Ethereum, Solana, and meme coins like Dogecoin are posting double-digit gains alongside BTC, signaling broad-based participation123.
