🚀 2. Core Drivers of Increase
Policy and Regulatory Favorability
(GENIUS Act) (100% reserve requirement for stablecoins)
(CLARITY Act) (Clarifies SEC/CFTC regulatory responsibilities)
(CBDC Ban Bill) (Prohibits the Federal Reserve from directly issuing digital currency).
Expectations of Easing Regulation in the US: SEC's new chairman, Paul Atkins, pushes for crypto reforms, planning to release new policies in July–August, aiming to make the US a global center for crypto assets.
"Cryptocurrency Week" Approaches: The US Congress will review three major bills from July 14–18:
Capital and Institutional Behavior
ETF Continues to Attract Capital: The US Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net inflow of $3.6 billion in a single month, setting a historical record; BlackRock's holdings reached $76.5 billion.
Direct Corporate Accumulation: Companies like MicroStrategy have holdings that surpass ETFs, injecting long-term buying pressure into the market.
Macroeconomic and Geopolitical Catalysts
Trump's Tariff Policy: Announced a maximum 50% tariff on Brazil and 7 other countries starting August 1, triggering investors to sell the Brazilian real and shift to Bitcoin for hedging.
Expectations of Dollar Liquidity Easing: Zhongtai Securities points out that Bitcoin's movement closely aligns with global M2 growth rate, with the current M2 expansion cycle supporting long-term upward trends.
Narrative Upgrade
"Digital Gold" Positioning Strengthened: China International Capital Corporation emphasizes that Bitcoin is shifting from 'alternative currency' to reserve asset, becoming 'digital gold' supporting the dollar-centered system.

🔮 4. Future Outlook and Risk Warning
Short-term Catalysts (1–4 weeks)
The implementation of tariffs on August 1 may trigger concerns about a global trade recession;
Large Whale Movements (20,000 dormant BTC transferred) or intensified miner selling pressure.
Upside Opportunity: If the 'Crypto Week' passes the stablecoin bill or CPI data reinforces interest rate cut expectations, Bitcoin may challenge $116,000–$120,000.

Medium to Long-term Trends (Q3–2030)

Regulatory Reversal: SEC delays Solana ETF approval, EU (anti-anonymity legislation) suppresses privacy coin sentiment.
💎 Summary: Key Watershed After New Highs
The breakout on July 10 was a result of policy easing + geopolitical hedging + narrative upgrades, but the market will soon face three major tests:
Policy Implementation: Will the details of the US 'Crypto Week' bill exceed expectations?
Macroeconomic Data: July CPI and Federal Reserve's interest rate cut path;
Technical Defense: If the psychological level of $110,000 is lost, the risk of a pullback rises to $102,000–$105,000.
