QCP Capital: Bitcoin in Range-Bound Action, Dollar Short Squeeze Could Trigger Cryptocurrency Sell-Off Risk
BlockBeats News: On July 30th, QCP Capital posted on its official channel, stating, "Bitcoin continues to trade within a narrow range, struggling to break through the $120,000 barrier effectively, while sustained buying pressure near $116,000 continues to provide support. Ethereum's upward momentum also appears to lose steam as it approaches the psychological barrier of $4,000, with the momentum indicator gradually shifting to neutral. From a structural perspective, the continued inflow of institutional funds and positive regulatory developments suggest that the possibility of hitting a new high in the medium term remains high.
However, caution is still advised. The price movement has shown limited response to a series of positive news, including the United States passing supportive cryptocurrency regulatory measures and positive developments in spot and derivative ETFs. Historically, when the market is inundated with bullish news but the price remains stagnant, it often indicates short-term weakness. CFTC data shows that traders hold extremely bearish positions on the US Dollar to Japanese Yen (USDJPY), which is not only a market consensus but also comes with a high cost of funding as time passes. We believe the market is increasingly vulnerable to USD short squeeze risks, which may force selloffs of stocks, emerging markets, and cryptocurrencies as risk-averse behavior kicks in.
Next, we are keeping an eye on the upcoming macroeconomic data, particularly the US inflation and employment data, as they will determine the direction of the third quarter. Tariff impacts will flow through to corporate profits and consumer prices, making the third quarter a potentially crucial turning point. All eyes are on the Fed. We expect the July FOMC meeting to keep interest rates unchanged, with policymakers likely emphasizing data dependence ahead of the critical September meeting, where the probability of a rate cut remains delicately balanced."
