What To Watch

  • 1.BTC $68,500 — a sustained break below this key support level, which has held since early May, would signal a potential retest of $65,000 and a weakening of bullish momentum.
  • 2.Stablecoin Dominance (USDT/USDC) — a significant increase in stablecoin dominance above 10% would signal capital rotating out of risk assets and into cash, indicating a broader market de-risking.
  • 3.Escalation of Middle East Conflict (Strait of Hormuz) — if the US Navy authorization leads to direct military engagement and disruption of oil transit, it would trigger a sharp rise in oil prices, fueling inflation fears and potentially leading to a more aggressive Fed stance, negatively impacting crypto liquidity.
