Mortgage rules in US just changed, and XRP flipped a giant at same time.
On July 2, Federal Housing chief ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to ready plans to count crypto as asset for home loan review. Until now, banks forced you to sell coin to cash before you could qualify. New plan lets BTC and other blue chips sit in your file as collateral, with haircut rules still to come.
Same week, XRP overtook USDC to claim 5th spot by market size, driven by Ripple court tailwind and fresh ETF chatter. XRP held above $2.20 while USDC supply stayed flat. This flip shows risk appetite coming back to

$AIOT This push is coming on way too strong—I’d say you could consider probing a short.
The RSI is already spiking above 90. In a parabolic top-chasing setup like this, there’s a good chance it needs a pullback and a correction, so you might be looking for a quick mean reversion. For levels, keep an eye around 0.0457 to 0.0468. If it dips lower, watch for 0.0437, even 0.0416. Set your defense at 0.0487.
Just be mindful of the risk: the macro trend is very strong. Even though the bears have woken up (also keep an eye on $TRADOOR and $B), they could squeeze higher again at any time before a re

$VEX (1h)

Last week's data sent mixed signals. Softer inflation supported Bitcoin, while stronger labor data kept the U.S. Dollar firm. This week, all eyes are on Jobless Claims, PMI, and New Home Sales. These reports could set the tone for BTC's next move.

The harshest part on the board isn’t the immediate drop—it’s that first it makes a bunch of people think there’s still room to rebound.$BTC When it was consolidating sideways at the high level a few days ago, many people were still waiting for a continued breakout higher, but what I saw was the resistance overhead becoming more and more obvious.

The key is right here: every time the price probes upward, the upward strength gets weaker and weaker. The moment selling pressure shows up, it can knock the rebound back down. This kind of structure has clearly changed—on the surface it’s still grin

Cold open on Wall Street: after two months of bleed, money came back.
Wall Street reopened its bid for crypto this week. After eight weeks of heavy outflow that drained $9.4 billion from US spot funds, July 14-18 flipped the tape. BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust logged $33.4 million on July 16 alone, pushing three green days in a row for Bitcoin funds with $79.1 million added. Ethereum told a similar story, with $84.4 million net new cash July 7-11, almost all via BlackRock ETHA.
Price followed flow. Bitcoin reclaimed $65,000, its best print since early June. Ethereum outperformed, up over 1

▪️ Pride is on the line.
▪️ Momentum matters heading into the next international cycle.

$USELESS 👀🔥
Is this the beginning of the next major move... or is everyone still asleep? 👀
This is why I love technical analysis.
We broke the major downtrend.
Pulled back.
Retested the previous trend line.
And found support right on the Daily 200 SMA.
That's exactly what you want to see after a breakout.
Momentum is shifting.
Higher lows are forming.
Now look above...
The previous major high sits around $0.44.
From the lows...
That's roughly a 20X move. 🤯🚀
Will it happen?
Nobody knows.
But this is exactly why conviction matters.
The biggest moves rarely feel comfortable at the beginning.

Asia and London made quiet moves this week that will echo loud.
SBI Holdings, Japan's heavyweight, said its chain unit will pivot from prior rails to Solana for token issuance and stablecoin rollouts. Goal is cross-border flow across Asia. Same day, UK gov said BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley joined its token roll-out taskforce to push fund units on chain.
Two moves, one read: real-world asset rails are now a bank-grade game. Solana gets a huge nod for speed and low fees, while UK backing means token funds could go live for mass use by early next year. For SOL, this is

This leg down today basically exposes the prior high-level fake bullish strength. $DOT isn’t suddenly getting weaker—it’s been showing fatigue for a while, but many people are only watching the small bounce and don’t want to admit it.
What really makes me alert is that the price has stayed near key levels for a long time, yet it never gets a clean breakout; instead, every time it pushes higher, sell orders drag it back. Put simply, the rhythm has changed: the longs aren’t taking the initiative, and the shorts are just waiting for a trigger point.
I went long around 1.223. After entering, I di

$TRUTH Keep an eye on short opportunities. This RSI has surged straight to 91, which is severely overbought. I think there may be a pullback for mean reversion.
For entry, you can focus on the range from 0.01303 to 0.01336. If it drops further, watch 0.012452 and 0.011858, and place your defense at 0.013894.
However, do note the risks. Currently, bullish momentum is still very strong, and open interest (OI) is also rising. There may be a risk of a short squeeze breaking through the 0.013200 resistance. Don’t chase too aggressively—control your position size. Also, $AKE can continue to watch

ETH is hovering around 1860—are we looking at a bull-trap or a real drop?
$ETH /USDT - short SHORT
Trading plan:
Entry: 1856.74 – 1860.70
SL: 1877.71
TP1: 1844.48
TP2: 1834.99
TP3: 1820.75
Why focus on this setup?
- The 1-hour EMA and RSI show short-term overbought; the 4-hour trend is clearly bearish. A short-term opportunity is to enter around 1858.
- The current price is near the 1860 resistance; the downside targets TP1 1844 and TP2 1835 offer more than 1% room.
- Why now? The 15-minute RSI has reached 64, and a pullback signal is starting to appear—just wait for confirmation.
