ARE WE BACK? 🏦

BREAKING: Bitcoin climbs back above $109,000 after weekend slump as Trump sets new tariff date

Here’s a fun fact to start your week…

Bitcoin just set a new weekly high of $109,443!

What caused this sudden move upwards?

Simple, the Trump administration just blinked.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the July 9 "Liberation Day" tariff deadline has been softened.

Countries now have until August 1 to finalise trade deals before sweeping tariff hikes kick in.

That unexpected delay has done two things:

1. Eased fears of immediate volatility

2. Injected confidence back into risk assets

Bitcoin surged back above $109,000.

Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin all saw solid gains.

And analysts now say the next big catalyst could come July 15 - when fresh inflation data might give the Fed a green light to cut rates.

This macro backdrop is shifting fast…

After April’s tariff shock sent BTC tumbling to $75K, the recovery has been relentless.

U.S. stocks are ripping.

Crypto has regained momentum.

And with global trade talks heating up, any deal headlines could fuel the next leg higher.

ALL TIME HIGHS THIS WEEK? 🐧

The chart whisperer has spoken.

Pentoshi says we’re going to see Bitcoin at all-time highs this week.

And if we break out?

$118K - $120K comes fast.

If you’re not familiar with Pentoshi, he’s a technical analyst who regularly posts his charts, trades, and macro predictions on X.

He’s one of our favourite analysts for 2 reasons:

• His impressive technical analysis 📈

• His stunningly accurate macro calls ✅

To maintain his anonymity, he writes under the pseudonym "Pentosh1" and uses a cartoon penguin as his avatar. 🐧

This week, he threw out that he believe’s we’ll see fresh all-time highs this week.

Why He’s Bullish:

• BTC and ETH both showing tailwinds
• FUD has failed to break structure
• High timeframe trend still intact
• Macro setup now supports upside

He’s been eerily accurate since the 2020-2021 bull run.

Let’s see if he’s still got it… 👀

He wrapped up with this:

WHALE MAKES A MOVE 🐋

Time for a check-in on the Long/Short-Term Holder Threshold.

Here’s how this metric works:

• 🔴 Short-Term Holders (STHs): Coins held for less than 155 days

• 🔵 Long-Term Holders (LTHs): Coins held for more than 155 days

• 🟥 Short-Term Holder Cost Basis: All coins purchased in this price range are STHs

• 🟦 Long-Term Holder Cost Basis: All coins purchased in this price range are LTHs

This metric is powerful because it shows exactly what price range long and short term holders bought their Bitcoin at. 🔍

The key cutoff date right now is February 1, 2025, when Bitcoin hovered near $101K.

Anything bought before that? Long-term holder (LTH).

After that? Short-term holder (STH).

And here’s the story the data tells:

LTHs now control 14.63M BTC - a staggering 73.6% of the circulating supply.

STHs? Just 2.37M BTC, or 11.9%.

In the last 90 days alone, over 500K BTC has flowed into long-term hands.

But one stat raised eyebrows this weekend…

The LTH count dropped by 64,752 - a sharp move that triggered some alarm bells.

However, there is no need to panic.

According to Arkham Intelligence, it’s tied to a single whale wallet that moved BTC after 14 years of silence.

Arkham believes that the whale has shown no signs of selling - just a shift to enhanced security.

Bottom line?

Conviction hasn’t wavered.

Long-term holders are still in full control.

Trivia Answer: A delay before tokens can be sold by insiders 🥳

A vesting period ensures that project insiders, team members, or early investors can’t instantly dump their tokens — it’s meant to build trust and long-term alignment. 🕒🔒
