#HODLTradingStrategy HODL: The Cryptocurrency Strategy of "Hold on for Dear Life" When to HODL Based on these principles, the best time to HODL is now, always, and forever. A true believer would always hold on to their tokens, even if markets crash or become extremely volatile. HODLing becomes an ideological belief about the long-term prospects of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and the communities that have formed around them
The HODL Coin HODL may also refer to a DeFI token on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). HODL Coin (HODL/$HODL) was launched in May 2021. Much like the term itself, HODL encourages users to hold onto their tokens for rewards in the Binance coin (BNB) that are distributed every three days. The rewards are generated from taxes collected on transactions made by users, such as sale, purchase, or transfer of HODL tokens. The tax amount is converted into BNB tokens, and a percentage of the gains are redistributed to users from the collective liquidity pool.
#TrumpTariffs Trump 10% hit on BRICS amid focus on July 9th US trade deals ANALYSIS | 07/07/2025 06:15:56 GMT Asia market update: Trump 10% hit on BRICS amid focus on July 9th US trade deals + new Aug 1st tariffs for at least 12 countries; OPEC+ increases output again; Focus on RBA Rate Decision tomorrow.
General trend - US equity FUTs opened and stayed down -0.3% to -0.5% after the long US holiday weekend and following fresh record highs during Thursday’s US trading, seemingly not overly concerned about the possibility of significantly higher tariffs on some major US trading partners as Pres Trump on Friday said he signed 12 letters to various countries [unnamed] to be sent on Monday, July 7th from 12pm ET, ranging from "60-70%" or "10-20%". Countries to start paying the new tariffs on Aug 1st, which provides a window for further negotiations.
- THEN, Pres Trump posted out a ‘no exceptions’ extra 10% tariff on all BRICS nations that “align themselves with its ‘anti-American’ policies”.
$BTC Will BTC refresh its record highs? Bitcoin price rebounded after retesting its previous broken upper boundary of a consolidation zone at $108,355 on Friday and rose slightly over the next two days. At the time of writing on Monday, it continues to trade higher above $109,000.
If BTC continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally toward the May 22 all-time high at $111,980.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 58, above its neutral level of 50, indicating bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily chart displayed a bullish crossover. It also shows rising green histogram bars above its neutral level, suggesting bullish momentum and indicating an upward trend.
However, if BTC faces a correction and closes below its support at $108,355, it could extend the decline to retest the lower boundary of the consolidation zone at $105,333. BTC/USDT daily chart
$BTC Technical outlook: Can Bitcoin break out to new all-time highs in July? Bitcoin’s price maintains a technical bearish bias, having broken below the same descending trendline it had stepped above on Thursday, as observed on the 8-hour chart below.
Based on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, which has recently confirmed a sell signal, the pullback could extend into the weekend.
The 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $106,827 and the 100-period EMA at $105,896 are in line to absorb overhead pressure should the decline accelerate.
On the other hand, an immediate trend reversal cannot be ruled out yet, especially with steady demand from institutional investors through BTC spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Bitcoin treasuries. BTC/USD daily chart
$SOL #BSCTrendingCoins which formula would you apply to solve this simple tactical question of maths #OneBigBeautifulBill Increasing state and local tax deduction (Salt) The bill increases the deduction limit for state and local taxes (Salt).
There is currently a $10,000 cap on how much taxpayers can deduct from the amount they owe in federal taxes. That expires this year.
The Senate's approved bill raises it from $10,000 to $40,000 - but after five years, it would return to $10,000.
Salt taxes were a big sticking point in the House, especially Republican holdouts in some Democratic-controlled urban areas. The House's version of the spending bill did not include a five-year limit, so the Senate's changes could pose a problem for some House Republicans.
#OneBigBeautifulBill US President Donald Trump's budget mega-bill is set to become law after it passed a final vote in the House of Representatives.
The president is now poised to sign the bill into law during a ceremony on Friday.
Its advancement has not been easy. The legislation has stoked disputes among lawmakers from Trump's own Republican Party, who control both chambers of Congress, over social programmes and spending levels.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill could add $3.3tn to federal deficits over the next 10 years and leave millions without health coverage - a forecast that the White House disputes. During a vote in the US Senate earlier this week, Vice-President JD Vance was forced to cast the tie-breaking vote in order to pass the bill.
The legislation's prospects in the House appeared precarious, however Republican rebels eventually got on board to support it following hours of wrangling on Thursday.
Here is a look at some of the key items and hotly-debated issues in the bill.
Extension of 2017 Trump tax cuts During his first term, Trump had signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered taxes for corporations and for individuals across most income brackets.
Trump had touted the law as one that would stimulate economic growth, but experts have argued that it has benefited wealthy Americans the most.
Key provisions of that law are set to expire in December, but the sprawling budget bill currently before lawmakers aims to make those tax cuts permanent. It also increases standard deductions by $1,000 (£736) for individuals and $2,000 for married couples until 2028.
#BTCWhaleMovement More than $8 billion worth of bitcoin mined during the network’s earliest days — colloquially known as the “Satoshi era” — were moved Friday in the largest such transfer on record.
Two wallets that had remained dormant for over 14 years each transferred 10,000 BTC to new addresses around early Friday, as CoinDesk reported. The two addresses had initially received their coins on April 3, 2011, when bitcoin traded at just 78 cents.
That BTC is now worth over $1.1 billion per wallet at current prices, marking an appreciation of more than 13.9 million percent.
The original source of the coins was wallet “1HqXB…gDwcK,” which sent 23,377.83 BTC to three separate wallets in 2011.
Two of those — “12tLs…xj2me” and “1KbrS…AWJYm” — held the bulk until this week. The third wallet, which received 3,377 BTC, had already spent its funds in 2011.
Late Friday, on-chain analysis firm Arkham flagged that six other wallets moved over 10,000 bitcoin (BTC) in quick succession, worth over $8.6 billion at current prices.
The same entity apparently owns all of these wallets, Akrham said. However, no individual or company has publicly claimed ownership of these wallets as of Asian morning hours on Saturday.
#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Spot traders own the actual asset, can transfer it instantly across wallets, and can stake or use it. Futures traders, however, hold contracts that are often used for hedging positions or taking advantage of short-term price changes. The spot market offers stability and tangible ownership for long-term investors.

$BTC #SwingTradingStrategy Bitcoin Price Forecast: Will BTC head towards its highs? Bitcoin price reached a low of $98,200 on Sunday but recovered sharply by 5% over the next two days, closing above its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at $103,352. At the time of writing on Wednesday, it continues to trade higher at around $106,500.
If BTC continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally toward its May 22 all-time high at $111,980.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 54, above its neutral level of 50, indicating bullish momentum. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is hinting at a bullish crossover (the MACD line is close to crossing above the signal line), which, if completed, would give a buy signal.
However, if BTC faces a correction and closes below the 50-day EMA at $103,352, it could extend the decline to retest its Sunday low of $98,200. BTC/USDT daily chart
$BTC Bitcoin price extends gains above $106,000 on Wednesday, following a 5% rise over the previous two days. Institutional demand continues to strengthen as ProCap BTC LLC buys 3,724 Bitcoin and spot ETF records $588.55 million in inflows. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will testify again after suggesting on Tuesday that the Fed isn’t in a rush to cut interest rates. Bitcoin (BTC) price extends gains above $106,000 at the time of writing on Wednesday, having risen 5% over the previous two days. The institutional and corporate demand further supports the price recovery, as ProCap BTC LLC adds Bitcoin to its reserve and fresh inflows into Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) occur. BTC traders await further cues from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s second day of testimony, scheduled for later on Wednesday. Bitcoin demand remains robust, ETF flows remain a key market driver Bitcoin price holds above $106,000 on Wednesday as demand from institutional investors continued to remain strong. So far this week, BTC has seen a series of accumulations from public companies, with Strategy, Metaplanet, and the Blockchain Group adding BTC to their treasury. Additionally, on Tuesday, Anthony Pompliano’s ProCap BTC, LLC purchased 3,724 Bitcoins within one day after announcing a $1 billion merger and an over $750 million fundraising on Monday.
Looking at the spot Bitcoin ETF demand, it continued its 11-day streak of gains since June 9. As shown in the SoSoValue chart below, the ETF recorded $588.55 million in inflows on Tuesday.

A K33 report released on Tuesday provides a clearer picture of why ETFs move markets but Treasuries do not. The 30-day ETF flows chart below shows that the BTC returns share an R² of 0.80, highlighting that ETF flows remain a key market driver. In contrast, the growing trend of BTC treasury companies has shown minimal influence on price. This effect is generally due to the fact that many of these companies acquire BTC through in-kind share exchanges with existing holders, resulting in a net neutral impact on the market. This dynamic may help explain the weak relationship (R² of 0.18) between treasury flows and BTC returns.

Bitcoin holds firm ahead of Jerome Powell’s second-day testimony Bitcoin price started the week on a positive note, rising more than 5% in the last two days following the confirmation of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Monday. At the time of writing on Wednesday, BTC extends gains above $106,000 during the early European session as traders await more cues from Jerome Powell, who continues his two-day testimony before Congress later in the day. The analyst further explains that Powell reiterated that the Fed is not in a rush to lower interest rates, although the door remains open if incoming data supports such a move. If Powell’s second-day testimony hints at a dovish stance, further supported by favorable macroeconomic data and hinting at lower interest rates, this could be a bullish case for riskier assets, such as BTC, as lower rates could prompt investors to shift toward them. However, if the Fed has a hawkish stance, it could have a bearish effect on the BTC price.
$XRP XRP/USDT faces break below $2.00 demand: H&S breakdown could drive price to $1.73
Failure to defend the $2.00 zone on the daily chart would complete a bearish Head & Shoulders pattern, projecting a 12% slide back toward prior lows near $1.73.
Technical analysis
Key demand zone: The $2.00 area has acted as critical daily support since March, aligning with the 1.9940 low and a high-volume node on the volume profile. A decisive close below this zone would confirm distribution and open the way lower.
Head and Shoulders pattern: Left Shoulder near $2.34 (May rally peak); Head at $2.67 (early June high); Right Shoulder around $2.34 (late June retest); Neckline at ~$2.00 (connecting the lows from March and June); Measured Move: Head-to-neckline distance of ~$0.27 projects a drop to $1.73 upon breakdown (a ~12% decline from $2.00).
Support levels on a breakdown: $1.99 – daily low (neckline); $1.87 – next high-volume node and Fibonacci 38.2% of 2025’s swing; $1.73 – H&S target (measured move); $1.64 – April swing low.
Resistance on recovery: $2.13 – prior reaction high; $2.34 – shoulders; $2.44 – April consolidation high. Regulatory overhang: Ongoing SEC litigation remains a major catalyst for XRP’s volatility. Any adverse ruling risks further selling pressure, while positive developments could trigger short-covering rallies.
Crypto market sentiment: Correlation with Bitcoin’s performance (~0.85 on a 30-day basis) means that a broader risk-off move in equities or BTC could exacerbate XRP’s decline.
Network activity: On-chain metrics (daily active addresses, transaction volume) have cooled since May, suggesting waning demand amid profit-taking at higher prices.
Macro drivers: With Fed rate-cut expectations pushed into 2025, risk assets remain vulnerable to US Treasury yields holding above 4.2%. A hawkish surprise could spill into crypto markets.
Risk management: Use tight position sizing, given the heightened volatility around regulatory news.

Since then, DOGE has stabilized near $0.157, forming higher lows and hinting at a potential bottoming structure.
News Background Global economic pressures — from escalating trade disputes to hawkish central bank stances — have weighed heavily on crypto markets. DOGE, often viewed as a bellwether for retail sentiment, bore the brunt of risk-off flows. However, despite the volatility, network activity has remained stable, and on-chain data shows signs of accumulation. Analysts point to the $0.151 level as a crucial support zone following the 8% plunge. Central banks continue to signal concern over inflation, and with crypto markets reacting sharply to macro headlines, DOGE’s ability to recover from its lows may attract short-term traders looking for signs of a rebound. Price Action DOGE dropped sharply from $0.164 to $0.151 during the 21:00 hour on June 21, with volume exploding to 828M—the highest hourly tally in over a week. This marked a clear capitulation point, followed by a modest recovery as buyers stepped in.
Price has since rebounded to the $0.157 level, forming a short-term consolidation zone. In the most recent session, DOGE printed a series of higher lows, including a small breakout attempt at 06:57, when volume spiked to nearly 8M units. According to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis data, immediate resistance now sits at $0.157- $0.160 Technical Analysis Recap DOGE posted a 7.9% range over 24 hours, falling from $0.164 to $0.151. The capitulation event at 21:00 drew 828M in volume, confirming $0.151 as major support. Price rebounded to $0.157, where it’s now consolidating on declining volatility. Higher lows suggest a potential early accumulation pattern forming. The resistance zone sits at $0.157–$0.160; bulls need a close above $0.160 for breakout confirmation. Support at $0.151 backed by extreme volume and a V-shaped bounce. MACD turning positive; RSI neutral at ~48, signaling room for upside if momentum build

#$SOL Solana down 6% on Friday, SOL could slip another 10% Solana price wiped out 6% of its value on Friday amid geopolitical tension and Pump.fun-related developments within the SOL ecosystem. SOL risks a double-digit decline over the weekend, per technical indicators on the SOL/USDT daily price chart.
Solana could sweep liquidity at the $125 support, the upper boundary of a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on the daily timeframe. If the token fails to begin a recovery at this point and the downward trend persists, SOL could test the $95 support and lose the $100 milestone.
Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads 36 and is sloping downwards. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows an underlying negative momentum in the SOL price trend.
Conversely, a recovery could see SOL test resistance at the upper boundary of FVGs at $160 and $168. A daily candlestick close above the $168 resistance could pave the way for a retest of the $190 level, a key resistance level throughout the past five months.
