$H has been waiting for so long, and finally it starts to dump—falling all the way from around 0.17 back to 0.1. Luckily, I opened a short position with a small position size in advance.

$BTC For the past two days, it has been repeatedly around 65,000. Today it tried to push again to 65,400, but it was quickly smashed back down. Just now, within the past hour, volumes surged and it returned to around 64,500. In the short term, it does look a bit weak.
The earlier attempts to break above 65,000 didn’t hold either, and today it got pushed back down again. Looking at the chart now, it still seems somewhat weak. Tonight, I’ll first see whether it continues to move toward the 64,000–64,000 range.

$ON A few days ago, it came down from a high level, then went through a pullback. Today it quickly rallied back, with the high almost reaching 0.46.
The price action these past few days has actually been quite strong. The earlier correction didn’t continue to weaken; instead, funds pulled it back again. However, the current position is already close to the prior breakout zone. For chasing longs in the short term, the cost-effectiveness feels mediocre, so I’ll test a small short position first and see if there’s an opportunity for a pullback.
If it continues to rally strongly afterward, I won’t try to guess the top.

Starting from tomorrow morning at 8:00, Binance will keep only 4x Alpha volume for bStocks like $QQQB in the Binance wallet from Monday to Friday; on Saturday and Sunday, everything will be changed to 1x.

Previously, when there wasn’t much stable 4x available to use over the weekend, $QQQB could still be used to fill in. Now this route has also been cut off.
Going forward, when刷 Alpha you’ll have to pay even more attention to the timing. On weekdays, try to make the volume enough; on weekends, using this kind of security token has basically no good value.

Anzi’s rule change this time still has a pretty big impact on users who usually刷 QQQB. The number of coins that can be stably刷 is already getting smaller. After removing the 4x on weekends, the value of $QQQB is also much lower.

Today I caught up to a $HEI pump, and I guess I got to have a bite too.
I’ve been watching $HEI these days. The price has been fluctuating back and forth, but the volume hasn’t fully dried up. After today’s breakout with increased volume, I followed the momentum for a bit. Then it was getting close to the previous high, and I was worried it might not break through and could pull back, so I decided to take profits first.
Going forward, if there are new price movements and new opportunities to enter, I’ll share them in the VIP group. Usually I focus on short-term market moves and new token developments.

$GRVT Trading Competition starts today on the 4th. If you haven’t been trading Alpha today, you can join. The top 2,500 participants each receive 160 GRVT coins; the current price is roughly around 42U.

Trading volume on today and tomorrow has a 3x boost. It’s recommended that you trade up to the 130,000 tier these two days, and then go for the 65,000 tier afterward.

The biggest change in the July market is that the行情 (market momentum) hasn’t disappeared, but opportunities have become more dispersed.
Assets like $BTC and $ETH , which are mainstream holdings, mostly stay in a range-bound consolidation most of the time and haven’t formed a sustained upward trend. But judging by market performance, capital hasn’t completely exited—it instead rapidly rotates among different hot spots.
During this period, it’s especially apparent that some ecosystem projects, newly launched tokens, and older projects have all regained attention, with short-term capital inflows showing up. The market is no longer broadly rising across the board; instead, only a few projects offer staged opportunities.
Looking at the recent top gainers list, you can also see that funds are关注 (being directed toward) established projects such as ETH, UNI, and ONDO, as well as certain small-cap tokens. However, this kind of market usually doesn’t last long, and the speed of hotspot rotation is fast.

$COTI The day before yesterday, it was pulled up all the way from around 0.007 to 0.02. Yesterday it surged and then fell back—thinking it might start dumping. Today, it has been pulled back to around 0.016.
The most obvious thing about this move is that the volume hasn’t fully dropped off. Even though it closed with a big bearish candle yesterday, today it was quickly pulled back, which suggests the funds above haven’t completely exited yet. Right now it doesn’t look like the move is directly over; it seems more like churning and switching hands at a high level.
However, the volatility at this point is already quite high. Chasing longs could easily mean buying at a high point. Going short early could also mean it keeps getting pulled up. Let’s first see whether it can manage to hold back above 0.016.

$GRVT officially launched today, after waiting for nearly a month. The airdrop on Binance Alpha is worth about 30U at the current price, which is lower than market expectations earlier.
In addition, the TGE event airdrop of the $GRVT project itself uses a phased release. Most users can only receive the first batch of allocation on the day, while the remaining part will be gradually unlocked over the next 12 months, and the release ratio for each period may also differ.
One is that the Alpha airdrop has limited value, and the other is that the project event airdrop has a long redemption period. Looking only at the final result, the overall return rate of this $GRVT is not very good.

The biggest focus in the market tonight is the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision.
Every time it’s a policy meeting night, trading volume and volatility tend to increase noticeably, so many people believe there will be the most opportunities tonight. But what is truly worth paying attention to may not be the interest rate outcome itself, but rather the signals the Fed provides about future monetary policy.
At present, the market generally expects that the rate will be kept unchanged. Therefore, Powell’s remarks at the press conference regarding inflation, employment, and the pace of subsequent rate cuts may be the key factors influencing market sentiment. If it releases clearer expectations of rate cuts, risk assets may continue to receive a boost; if the stance remains cautious, market volatility could intensify further.
For the crypto market, rather than rushing to guess the direction tonight, it’s better to first focus on the information the Fed conveys, and then observe how the market digests the news.

$BTC Today saw a sudden sharp pullback. The price fell steadily from around $65,000, reaching a low of $63,021. The loss in a single hour was nearly $2,000.
Judging from the order book, this decline saw a sudden surge in volume and a completed move within a ranging range. Previously, BTC had been repeatedly hovering around $64,000–$66,000, with some short-term funds waiting for a directional breakout. Today’s rapid drop also impacted leveraged positions.
In this kind of market, in addition to judging direction, transaction costs and risk management are equally important. Frequent entries and exits, as well as stop-loss adjustments, will increase fee expenses; over the long run, this becomes a considerable cost.
If you usually trade with a relatively high frequency, you can calculate your expected fee spending in advance. I currently trade on Binance, and you can get 20% off trading fees with the invitation code LCFYJY.

$BANK In the past few days, the trend has been very strong. The price has rapidly surged from the low end, reaching a peak near $0.67. Trading volume has also expanded noticeably, drawing considerable market attention.
However, after pushing higher today, there was a rapid pullback and the price has been fluctuating significantly in a short period. For such tokens that have been rising continuously, funds that entered at low levels earlier have already accumulated some profits, and it’s normal for some to take profit and exit.
Today’s pullback also marks a transition in this market cycle—from a one-way rally into a new phase. Momentum-chasing funds from the past few days are beginning to diverge, and the market will look for a new equilibrium point going forward.

The Federal Reserve will hold its policy meeting on July 28–29, and the market is awaiting the interest rate decision and subsequent policy signals. Since the Fed’s stance often affects USD liquidity and risk-asset sentiment, $BTC ’s rising expectations for volatility ahead of the meeting are also heating up.
From the options market perspective, BTC is currently around $64,000. Deribit data shows that the market’s bullish open positions are mainly concentrated near $70,000; the Call Wall is at $70,000, while the Put Wall below is concentrated around $60,000.
This means that $60,000 and $70,000 are becoming key near-term battleground ranges. With the Fed meeting, end-of-month options expiry, and changes in fund positioning all overlapping, BTC’s short-term volatility could be further amplified.

A clear recent market change is that the overall funding size has contracted compared to its high point.
In terms of the total market capitalization of the crypto market, over the past few months the amount of market capital has kept declining. This hasn’t only affected the altcoin market—$BTC and the broader market have also been impacted.
When total market funds decrease, the trading environment changes as well. In the past, when the market was rising, many assets could receive momentum from available capital; but at the current stage, the market lacks sustained incremental inflows, so many uptrends are more likely to turn into short-term fluctuations.
This is also why many projects have recently seen sharp rises followed by pullbacks, and the market’s profitability/“making money” effect has become noticeably weaker.
Going forward, what’s truly worth paying attention to is when market funds will flow back in again, and which directions can attract new capital first.

Recently, the number of participants in Alpha has decreased significantly, and overall heat is continuing to decline.
Moreover, the current points-claim threshold remains at a relatively high level; many activities still require 250 points or more to participate. At the same time, the value of most recent Alpha air drops has not increased noticeably, staying roughly around 30U.
There were indeed one or two high-value projects in early July, but such opportunities don’t come around often. For most users, earning points requires bearing transaction friction, and claiming airdrops will also consume points.
As the time and capital costs continue to rise, while the final return is often only around 20–30U, the cost-effectiveness of participating in Alpha has become a concern for many users to reconsider.
Are you still sticking with grinding Alpha?

$HYPE Recent price performance has seen some adjustments, but if you look at the platform data, you’ll notice another change.
According to Hyperliquid’s latest data, open interest over the past 30 days has continued to grow, while trading volume has declined compared to the previous period. Different indicators are starting to diverge, which also suggests that market views on HYPE are changing.
In the short term, price will still be influenced by market sentiment, but platform data more often reflects how capital is participating. What’s worth watching next isn’t just whether $HYPE is going up or down, but whether these core metrics can continue to hold their current pace.

The trend of $ETH recently is a bit different from the previous period.
This round of上涨 (rising) isn't driven by a single big bullish candle that quickly lifts the price; instead, it continuously raises the low points, step by step, reaching around 1950 USD. Compared with the earlier sharp ups and downs, this kind of movement is actually easier to keep drawing market attention.
After coming to around 1950, the chart begins to show some back-and-forth, indicating that a divergence has already emerged here. However, what’s more worth observing right now isn't the up-and-down movement of this hour, but whether this relatively strong rhythm can continue to hold.

$BTC In the past two days, the market has been noticeably quieter.
Compared with the sharp fluctuations in the previous few days, prices are now mostly moving within a relatively narrow range. Trading volume has also not continued to increase, and neither buyers nor sellers have shown clear initiative. The overall market has entered a relatively calm state.

$BTC After re-establishing itself around 64,000, the market has been noticeably much calmer over the past two days.
Compared with the sharp fluctuations of the previous few days, trading volume has continued to shrink these two days; the price has largely stayed in a range and oscillated within it, with neither the bulls nor the bears showing further momentum for now.
This kind of market action may not be particularly exciting in the short term, but it is often a phase that is easy to go through before the next wave of the market begins. What’s more worth watching next is whether trading volume will start to expand again.
