Bitcoin is consolidating and adjusting, with short-term direction potentially influenced by Japanese politics and tariff negotiations

According to news from Hash World, HTX DeepThink analysis points out that Bitcoin rose to $121,800 yesterday before retreating to the $118,000 range for consolidation. On-chain data shows that the average profit rate of all chips in the market has risen to about 57%, but short-term upward momentum is limited. Since there is still room for historical highs, short-term profit-taking pressure continues. The market is currently waiting for a new round of capital rebalancing signals. Meanwhile, unexpected changes in Japan's political situation have drawn market attention, as the ruling coalition led by Fumio Kishida suffered a major defeat in the Senate elections. Although he insists on staying in office, his political capital has been severely impacted. The dollar rose sharply against the yen but quickly fell back, currently fluctuating in the 145-150 range. This political uncertainty affects Japan's bargaining power in tariff negotiations with the United States, and the Bank of Japan is expected to hold off on interest rate hikes in the short term. The yen is depreciating, the stock market is under pressure, and overall risk sentiment is declining. In global trade, the EU and the US have reached a tariff coordination agreement, postponing planned tax increases and easing the tension in the supply chain across the Atlantic. This positive news has driven a rebound in European and American stock markets, but it cannot reverse the global uncertainty trend. CME Bitcoin futures open interest remains high, implied volatility in the options market is stable at mid-high levels, net inflows of stablecoins are slowing, and institutional funds are still in a wait-and-see mode. Overall, for BTC to start a major upward phase, it needs to wait for the clearing of short-term floating profit chips and clarification of macro uncertainties, especially regarding the results of Japan-US trade negotiations. Before that, BTC is expected to consolidate in the $115,000–$123,000 range. Attention should be paid to the progress of Japan's political situation and tariff negotiations in early August, as this may be a key moment for the market to choose its direction.

Forbes: Cryptocurrency tax treatment remains unchanged after new U.S. legislation

According to news from Hashese Chain and Forbes report, despite the recent passage of the GENIUS Act and the ongoing Senate review of the CLARITY Act, the IRS still treats cryptocurrencies as "intangible assets" for tax purposes, and there have been no substantial changes to the relevant tax regulations for investors and traders. The GENIUS Act strengthens compliance requirements for stablecoin issuers but does not affect the tax classification of crypto assets. The CLARITY Act proposes a regulatory framework for digital asset securities and commodities, but it has not changed the IRS's existing stance. Experts point out that currently, cryptocurrency transactions do not need to comply with the securities wash sale rules, allowing investors to flexibly realize loss carryforwards, but they also cannot enjoy some preferential tax treatments for securities or commodity transactions. Unless further revisions are made to U.S. tax law, cryptocurrencies will still be taxed as assets.
