Bitcoin: Does the Trend Hold? - Will the Holding Period Stay? SpaceX Stock Plummets!
📉 Bitcoin Price: Battle at the 200 EMA
- BTC is trading around ~$64,000, testing the 200 EMA again.
- Positive inflation data (CPI fell to 2.6%) provided a short-term boost, but the rally lacks spot demand – it's driven by liquidations.
- Short-term traders are taking profits, increasing selling pressure. A sustainable breakout above $65,000 remains uncertain.
- Donald Trump is hosting senators at the White House to push the Clarity Act, a bill aiming to provide regulatory clarity for crypto.
- Democrats are resisting (accusing Trump of “crypto corruption”), making the timeline tight before the midterms.
- Success could trigger a positive impulse for the entire market.
- A consortium of 40+ institutions (BlackRock, JPMorgan, Microsoft, Chainlink) launches a pilot for tokenized US Treasuries.
- Chainlink is highlighted as a key piece, but its tokenomics remain weak. The price barely reacted – typical for the current bear market.
- Canton Network drops 6% despite major tokenization news – a sign of low liquidity.
- The annual tax bill contains no changes to crypto taxation. This makes abolishing the 1-year holding period less likely.
- Politician Frank Schäffler confirms: The timeline until year-end is extremely tight.
- The S&P 500 is near all-time highs, supported by broad rotation into defensive stocks.
- Semiconductor stocks are correcting 20–40% from highs – bear market territory in this sector.
- SpaceX stock has fallen below its IPO price – typical hype sell-off. The accumulation phase hasn't started yet.
- The US re-imposes a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz; oil prices spiked above $80 but then stabilized.
- Higher oil prices could reignite inflation and pressure the Fed.
- Fed Chair Powell stated: “We won't bail out anyone, including crypto.” Rate hikes are again more likely for September.
- The next 24 hours will determine if Bitcoin holds above the 200 EMA. A breakout above $65k is difficult in thin markets.
- Positive: The Fear & Greed Index is at 34 (fear) – historically a good buying opportunity.
- Google Trends and social media volume are at bear market lows – interest is minimal.
Takeaway: The market is fragile but not without opportunities. Long-term investors can benefit from current weakness – but avoid impulsive trades.
