Bitcoin Blasts Past $119K, Altcoins Flex & Traders Eye Breakout Amid Shifting Macro Winds
Smart Crypto Investing: Bitcoin, Altcoins & Trading Strategies podcast.
Hey friends, it’s Crypto Willy, your blockchain bestie with the latest in smart crypto investing — let’s buckle up and break down the past week in Bitcoin, altcoins, and trading strategies as we rocket toward August 2025.
Bitcoin’s been the superstar, as usual. This week, after the U.S. and EU inked a major trade deal, we saw Bitcoin bounce up to $119,296, sidestepping the threat of hefty tariffs and calming global market jitters. That alone juiced bullish vibes across the board. Metaplanet — yes, that Metaplanet — along with big players like SpaceX and Square, have been stacking sats, pushing institutional demand higher. With ETFs soaking up even more supply and Bitcoin’s network hashrate smashing records at 955 exahashes per second, market confidence feels rock solid.
Price-wise, things are spicy. Bitcoin’s now hovering near $119K, and just this week, over $43 million in shorts got liquidated in a 24-hour cannonball, according to Coindcx. Technical charts show a little caution: Bitcoin’s dipped under all its major EMAs (those are the 20, 50, 100, and 200-day averages), and MACD is turning negative for a short-term speed bump. But the medium-term sentiment is still bullish, riding a 67 out of 100 on the Fear & Greed Index. Pro traders are eyeing $125K–$128K as the next resistance, with support down at $115K. Hold that range, and Bitcoin could punch toward $140K–$150K by year’s end — just as Finder's panel of 24 industry experts are forecasting, with some even floating $250K as a moonshot.
Now, what about altcoins? Ethereum’s flexing too, flirting with the $4,000 mark. Low exchange supply and institutional inflows are helping the ETH bulls. XRP, still the comeback kid post-FTX, is bouncing off $2.84 support, with eyes on $3.49 resistance. Even with altcoin sentiment at 42/100 on the Altcoin Season Index, Bitcoin’s clear dominance is keeping the spotlight on king BTC.
Trading strategies right now are about staying nimble. With Bitcoin coiling for a breakout (check those narrowing Bollinger Bands!) and the RSI nowhere near overbought territory, traders are watching closely for sudden volatility, especially as the macro environment shifts. The next big catalysts: this week’s FOMC meeting — will the Fed tweak rates or hint at easing? — and the SEC’s decision on the Bitwise BITW ETF, both events circled in red on every pro’s calendar.
Key themes this week: regulation is clearer, MiCA rules in Europe brought a friendlier vibe, and ever-greater utility — more merchants are accepting crypto, fueling real-world use cases. The take-home for smart crypto investors: secure profits on the surges, set stops on the dips, and don’t sleep on the DeFi projects quietly gaining steam beneath the radar.
That’s the take for this week — thanks for tuning in with me, Crypto Willy. Come back next week for more actionable updates and insights. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for more of me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I. Stay smart, stay curious, and, as always, stack those sats!
