Both BTC and ETH maintain a fluctuating upward trend. The RSI index is at 47.9, indicating neutrality. The Fear & Greed Index is mainly neutral. This week, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell hinted in Congress that if data remains stable, a rate cut could be considered in the future, which boosted the market, bringing BTC prices back above $107,000.

This week, South Korea initiated a compliance amendment for digital assets, and more listed companies are beginning to follow Strategy in establishing BTC strategic reserves. The likelihood of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in July is only 20.7%, but if PCE and other data remain stable, a rate cut may begin in September. Next week, BTC's price range is expected to be $103,000-$109,000, and it is currently recommended to accumulate small amounts on dips. In July, if there are no major macro policy impacts, the market will maintain a range-bound fluctuation until the U.S. stablecoin bill is officially issued in August or the Federal Reserve cuts rates, at which point the market may see significant increases. Next week, attention should be focused on U.S. tariff agreement policies.
