#XXX 🔥 The cryptocurrency market presents a "tale of two extremes"! Bitcoin is stagnant, while altcoins are bleeding?

💥 Today's Battle Report

Bitcoin (BTC) firmly holds the $118,000 mark, with a slight drop of 0.36% in the last 24 hours, as institutional funds continue to support it; however, Ethereum (ETH) has been severely hit, plummeting nearly 3%, and even a $148 million buy-in from a whale couldn't stop the decline. Even worse for altcoins — XRP has plunged 9% due to regulatory shadows, and meme coin PUMP has halved its value overnight by 15%, with liquidations soaring to $736 million, leaving retail investors in despair.

🚨 Behind the Scenes

• The Federal Reserve's "dovish tone" has lost effectiveness: the market bets on a rate cut in September, but persistent inflation makes funds hesitant to go all in.

• Regulatory crackdown: The White House is about to release a report on digital assets, and the SEC's ambiguous stance on altcoin ETFs has left players collectively "scared shitless".

• Whale manipulation: ETH's spot trading volume has first surpassed BTC's, suspected to be large holders manipulating the market to profit at the expense of retail investors.

⚠️ Survival Rules

✅ Bottom-fishing signals: Standard Chartered predicts Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by the end of the year, and institutional ETFs are on a buying spree.

✅ Landmine guide: Stay away from high-volatility coins like PUMP, and keep a close eye on the policy bomb from the White House on July 30.

💡 Ultimate Prophecy: The bull market is not dead, but the next wave of explosive growth may belong to the "compliance survivors" — ETF candidates like SOL, ADA, and others!
