Over the past seven days, Bitcoin achieved a high of $106,566.10 (on May 19) and a low of $100,833.29 (May 13).
Ethereum, on the other hand, saw a high of $2,731.20 (May 14) and a low of $2,360.10 (May 19). Crypto Events To Note
Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines as it flirts with record highs and heightened volatility. A mysterious whale has placed a leveraged bet near $103K, raising concerns of market manipulation.
While BTC holds steady around $103,684, traders eye a breakout above $110K or a pullback to $98K. The Fear & Greed Index shows growing greed, reflecting bullish sentiment. Ethereum is rebounding, and BTC has surged past $106K, with predictions of a rally to $130K if macro conditions support.
However, a sudden dip from $107K triggered a broader crypto market correction, impacting major altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin, and Tron.
Caution remains key. What Crypto Traders Are Saying About Current Market Scenario
Alankar Saxena, CTO and co-founder, Mudrex, told ABP Live , 'Bitcoin is currently trading around the $104,000 mark, supported by growing bullish sentiment. Interestingly, BTC seems to be on the verge of forming a golden cross this week, similar to patterns seen in February and October last year, which historically preceded significant rallies and could once again propel prices to record highs. A decisive breakout above $105,000 could signal a bullish continuation, paving the way for new all-time highs. However, a drop below the $102,500 support zone may trigger a short-term pullback toward $100,000.'
Srinivas L, CEO, 9Point Capital, said, 'Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating just above $103K after a strong 25% rally over the last two months — a healthy sign of strength after a sustained move. With U.S. inflation cooling and Fed rate cut expectations rising, risk appetite is improving. Institutional demand remains solid, with cumulative spot ETF inflows now surpassing $40B, led by BlackRock and Fidelity. On-chain data shows long-term holders accumulating, and key supports at $100K and $97K continue to hold firm. We view this as a buy-the-dip environment within a broader bullish structure.'

U.S., EU reach historic trade deal
U.S., EU reach historic trade deal originally appeared on TheStreet. The U.S. and the European Union reached a historic trade deal on July 27. President Donald Trump said the EU is going to purchase energy worth $750 billion and military equipment worth hundreds of billions of dollars from the U.S. The EU has also agreed to invest $600 billion in the U.S. Tariffs for automobiles and everything else will be 15%, he added and continued that the EU has agreed to open up their countries at "zero tariff." "That basically concludes a deal." European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU agreed to 15% "across the board" tariffs and said the trade deal with the U.S. will bring stability. Bitcoin reflected a rebound following the announcement of the historical trade deal and was trading at $119,063.02 at the time of writing. China, US to reportedly extend tariff pause by 90 more days Earlier also, Bitcoin witnessed a similar but sharper rebound — from around $118,500 to around $119,500 before it retreated to around $118,900 — following the news report by the South China Morning Post that the U.S. and China are expected to extend their tariff truce by another 90 days when both superpowers meet to resume trade talks in Stockholm on July tariff war has led to an enormous impact on the crypto markets so far. When the president hiked tariffs on Apr. 2, the total crypto market cap dipped from $2.74 trillion to $2.42 trillion on Apr. 8. Next, when he paused tariffs for all countries for 90 days on Apr. 9, China remained the main exception as the U.S.'s tariff hikes against it continued. Nonetheless, the market sighed a breath of relief and began quickly recovering to reach $2.71 trillion on Apr. 12. As trade talks between the two countries took place, they agreed to remove most high tariffs imposed since Apr. 2, but the deadline of this pause is set to expire on August 12. The total crypto market cap stood at $3.94 trillion at the time of writing. Meanwhile, Bitcoin hit a record high of $123,091.61 on July 14 as uncertainty around the tariffs continued — reflecting the king coin's resilience.

Michael Saylor Is Bringing Bitcoin-Backed Money-Market-Style Vehicle to Wall Street: NYDIG
Strategy (MSTR) is pulling off some form of financial alchemy: using bitcoin, historically a volatile asset, to create something that looks a lot like stability. That's the firm's $2 billion 'Stretch' Preferred Stock (STRC) offering offers a variable 9% dividend and is designed to keep the share price hovering near $100. The offering doesn't give investors direct bitcoin exposure, yet it's backed by the asset in spirit and structure, according to a recent NYDIG report. Strategy holds $71.7 billion in bitcoin and just $11 billion in liabilities, giving it room to deliver income even if crypto prices dip, the report notes. Historically, bitcoin has returned at least 3%–4% annually over any five-year stretch, while average returns have been significantly higher. Strategy is betting it can use this return profile to sustain high payouts without touching its crypto stash, essentially turning long-term bitcoin appreciation into monthly cash flow. 'STRC looks to us like a high-yield, bitcoin-backed, money-market-style vehicle, designed to trade near $100 par while offering a far higher yield than traditional short-term instruments, albeit with a different liquidity profile,' NYDIG wrote. That premise has proven popular. Investor interest drove Strategy to quadruple the offering size from $500 million to $2 billion. STRC may not just be a yield vehicle, but rather bitcoin, reworked for traditional finance income investors.
