[Uncle Bitcoin’s outlook for the second half of the year]
Bitcoin (BTC), the "retired patriarch" of the cryptocurrency world, is expected to continue living a "stable and profitable" life in the second half of the year.
Despite his age (almost 16!), he holds a high position, his primary role being to sit on the sofa, sipping the "Moutai" of institutional ETFs while observing and commenting on the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy. Whenever the Fed's "faucet" (liquidity) seems to be about to open, BTC uncle slowly rises, stretches, and says, "Help me up! I think I can break through the previous high again."
He can be quite picky, though. If economic data fluctuates, or if there's a geopolitical row, he'll suddenly perform a tactical slump, perhaps stumbling from $110,000 to $95,000, scaring a bunch of leveraged investors into buying higher. But don't worry; as long as the "HODLers" (long-term holders) don't flee, he'll shake his legs and regain his footing.
In summary: Bitcoin will likely continue its role as the "digital gold" in the second half of the year, following a fluctuating upward trajectory of "three steps forward, two steps back." It's possible it will surprise everyone again, but please get used to its occasional fluctuations.
[Ethereum guy’s second half of the year struggle plan]
Ethereum (ETH), known as the "strongest worker" in the cryptocurrency circle, will definitely be extremely busy in the second half of the year.
This guy just completed the "Shanghai Upgrade 2.0" fitness program, his muscular lines (technical architecture) are even more beautiful, and he is frantically attracting stakers to "collect rent." Furthermore, the news of the ETF's approval is like a viral TikTok video, and traditional funds are also starting to like and invest in it.
Therefore, the second half of the year for ETH is likely to be filled with high spirits, but also prone to burnout. On the one hand, he might ride on the two skateboards of DeFi and NFT to show off his skills and continue to rise. On the other hand, at the slightest positive cashing out or large investors selling, he is prone to "diving to save himself" - for example, a 10% drop in one day, followed by a week of slow recovery.
He also has a hidden plot called "Follow-up of the Cancun Upgrade". If the gas fee (transportation fee for work) can be further reduced, his ability to take on projects (ecological applications) will be stronger, and his net worth (coin price) will naturally increase.
But please note that this young man is sometimes too optimistic, even a little "middle school syndrome". Once the market is not good, he may fall even harder than his elder brother - after all, for young people, impulse is the devil.
[Even though we are good brothers, we still have to rely on the weather for our livelihood]
But in the final analysis, no matter how much BTC and ETH are anthropomorphic, it all depends on how the three "external scripts" are performed:
The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy drama: If the interest rate cut really comes in the second half of the year, it will be a “flooding of money and a carnival in the cryptocurrency circle”; if inflation comes to make trouble again, the two brothers may squat in the corner and draw circles together.
Regulators' memes: Is the SEC about to release another frowning video? Or is it finally giving ETH a nod and a smile? Each look sends shockwaves through the market.
The sudden talent show of black swans: for example, a certain exchange collapsed again, a certain country suddenly announced a ban on cryptocurrency, Trump said "I love Bitcoin" again... No one can predict these plots.
To sum up in one sentence:
Bitcoin: Like a retired veteran, a slow bull market is expected, and the occasional big drop is a chance for you to get on board and toast.
Ethereum: Like a motivated slash youth, it rises and falls quickly, and ecological progress is its invisible wings.
