Key Takeaways

  • Macro Environment: As the tariff deadline approaches, prospects for a US-EU trade agreement remain dim. Gold and US Treasury prices rose, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 hit new all-time highs but gave up gains by the close, reflecting market caution ahead of key earnings reports from Google and Tesla.
  • Crypto Market: Despite recent disclosures from Strategy and Trump Media & Technology Group about holding Bitcoin reserves, the market reaction was muted. Bitcoin opened high but ended the day nearly flat with a slight 0.1% gain. Ethereum’s momentum weakened, closing with a doji pattern and a marginal 0.14% increase. Notably, Bitcoin’s market dominance dropped below 60.5%, marking nine consecutive days of decline, while altcoins showed simultaneous increases in volume and price—signaling a shift in market risk appetite toward mid- and small-cap tokens.
  • Today's Outlook: The White House Digital Asset Market Working Group is expected to release its first crypto policy report on July 22;Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will deliver welcome remarks at a regulatory conference
